Chapter 685: Reactions from all sides

There was no one in Japan who was most concerned about this battle than Hosokawa Takakuni.

Because Hosokawa Takakuni was too deeply involved in this battle.

Sometimes Hosokawa Takakuni also thinks that wouldn't it be good that he treats all this as if it didn't happen, and the Hosokawa family is not involved at all.

Thinking about it later, how is it possible?

The Hosokawa family could get involved at all, but the shogunate couldn't help but get involved.

But now the news has come and he is at a loss.

Two battles, one win and one loss. It looks like the two sides are evenly matched. He brought Song Suqing over and asked for his opinion.

Song Suqing said: "Your Highness, we don't care about anything in the end now, and nothing has happened to us." After all, anything can happen in war, only after the dust settles on the victory. It is not too late for us to decide, after all, these two battles are only temptations, and they cannot explain anything at all. ”

Hosokawa Takakuni's confidence in the Yongjun army is still above the Ouchi clan, which cannot be explained by the number of artillery alone.

"Good. Let's wait and see what happens. Hosokawa Takakuni said.

Hosokawa Takakuni can wait and see, but the others are not so calm.

For example, the Otomo family, the young two family, these Kyushu daimyos.

The battle of Nagasaki, for them, was almost two evil dragons fighting for food at their doorstep, and one of them was the pond fish that were affected.

"The minister greets His Highness." Two Japanese samurai fell in unison.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Get up." ”

There is a two-point gift list on Zhu Houhuang's table, of course, Zhu Houhuang looks at the gifts above, it is simply shabby, except for the ten beauties, which are still eye-catching, the others are not looked at by Zhu Houhuang at all.

However, Zhu Houhuang also knows that big names like the Shao Er family and the Dayou family are probably not as rich as the Jiangnan Xie family. He didn't care about the gifts either.

He cares about what's behind the gift.

"The Ouchi clan offended the Celestial Empire, His Majesty ordered Lone to crusade against the Great Rebellion, which has nothing to do with Japan, as long as it has nothing to do with the Ouchi clan, Lone will not use force against them. Of course, if you wait for the army to rebel for the Celestial Empire, you will not be stingy with rewards. So he asked the two messengers to convey the meaning of the lonely to the two heads of the family. ”

"Hey." The two messengers did not dare to raise their heads at all.

In this way, it can be seen that Zhu Houhuang can now stop crying as a child. It's just that Zhu Houhuang himself doesn't know.

After Zhu Houhuang sent two messengers.

Liu Laodao came in, knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, and said: "The general of the defeated army will meet His Highness, and ask His Highness to surrender his guilt." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "The day before yesterday, I can't blame the general, it was Lone's fault, Lone didn't know that the strait between Kyushu and Nagato was so narrow. ”

"Why did Your Highness say this, the minister can't complete His Highness's order, how can it be His Highness's fault, His Highness's words make the minister ashamed." Liu Laodao said.

In fact, what Zhu Houhuang said was not a lie.

When he asked Liu Laodao to cut off the connection between Changmen and Kyushu, he didn't notice the various hydrological specialties in the Guanmen Strait, and it was only after Liu Laodao's defeat that Zhu Houhuang discovered these.

However, Zhu Houhuang found that the more he made mistakes, the more uneasy his subordinates became, so he stopped saying this, and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and there is a time when there is an alliance under the city." Why should General Liu be like this, it's just a lucky boat, and he can't afford to lose. It's just that after this battle, what is General Liu going to do? Nagasaki didn't need so many warships. ”

Liu Laodao said: "The minister asks for the order to land in Nagato." Attack Yamaguchi Castle. ”

Zhu Houhuang frowned, the expansion of the war was not what Zhu Houhuang expected, but looking at Liu Laodao's appearance, it was impossible for him to admit defeat.

"Now he is also stretched thin by his lone hand. It is impossible to send soldiers to attack the Ouchi clan in two ways, Lone can only give you the right to act, and before the end of the Battle of Nagasaki, you can do whatever you want with the Ouchi clan, and you don't need to report to Lone. Zhu Houhuang said.

"Your Highness." Liu Laodao said.

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "The water power of the Ouchi clan is so little, even if he is allowed to beat him, what can he do?" Forget it, even let him vent. ”

In addition to Zhu Houhuang's authorization, Liu Laodao immediately resigned to Zhu Houhuang and left Wudao. After Liu Laodao left Wudao, Zhu Houhuang also began to act.

The fire outside Nagasaki was completely extinguished, and the battlefield was well vacated for Zhu Houhuang, who couldn't wait to appear.

Zhu Houhuang and Huang Shilong discussed that they would not land directly in Nagasaki. In order to avoid what happened on the island of Tsushima, however, the coastline around Nagasaki is too complicated. It's too easy to find a place to land.

It seems that Yoshiko Ouchi also knows this.

So they didn't stop each other.

The Yong army landed in the northwest region of Nagasaki, and 30,000 troops went ashore in turn and camped under Nagasaki Castle along the coastline.

The two sides did not fight at all, and all the Yong army had to do on the first day was to set up camp and clean up the docks.

However, the peak military appearance of the Yongjun still gave a great shock to the princes of Kyushu. Including Ouchi Yoshiko.

Ouchi Yoshixing saw all the movements of the Yongjun army camping at the head of the city. In fact, the camp of the Yong army was no different from the actions of the Ming army. Zhu Houhuang himself also drew nutrients from the rules and regulations of the Ming army, so he was just a flower of many orders and regulations of the Ming army.

But in Ouchi's view, it was already shocking.

The layman doesn't see anything famous, but he thinks it's much neater. Ouchi Yoshixing is an expert. He clearly saw the orders and prohibitions, as well as the high morale.

Ouchi Yoshixing's heart is extremely complicated.

When the news of Ouchi Yoshitaka's victory in the Guanmen Strait came, Ouchi Yoshiko was extremely happy, no one wanted to die, if Yongjun was really a showman, he could be easily repulsed. Ouchi Yoshiko was naturally very happy.

It was not only Yoshiko Ouchi who was happy, but also the generals of the Ouchi clan. The generals of the Ouchi clan were encouraged by the news of Yoshitaka Ouchi's victory, and they all asked for battle.

However, after Ouchi Yoshixing found that the Yong army was invulnerable, he could only wait for the official battle tomorrow.

Shao Erziyuan and Otomo Qinzhi sat opposite each other, behind them were a forest of armor soldiers, this position is not far from Nagasaki, Nagasaki news, can come here unimpeded.

"Zi Yuan Gong. What do you think we should do? Do you want to get involved? Otomo asked.

"You don't want to be involved, what are you doing here?" Shao Er Ziyuan said.

Indeed, none of them came alone, and each of them brought at least five thousand men. With a total of 10,000 troops, it may not be a matter in the Ming Dynasty, but in Japan, it is already a large number of troops.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with us but with them. According to the original intention, I didn't bother to pay attention to the contradictions between the Ouchi clan and King Yong, and I couldn't take care of my own family's affairs. Just don't you do it? Who knows what they are thinking, especially the one who has come from afar. Shao Erziyuan said.

The Shao Er family is indeed a matter of thought, and the power of the Shao Er family is too big to fall, so that the Shao Er family has no energy to think about anything else.

But it's not okay if he doesn't come, the Ouchi clan has won, and it will definitely be a miserable victory, those are now a good opportunity to defeat the Ouchi clan, the Shao II clan and the Ouchi clan are not harmonious at all, and it is the time to take advantage of the situation to attack the Ouchi clan.

If King Yong wins, they must determine whether King Yong really attacked the Ouchi clan, or attacked Kyushu under the guise of attacking the Ouchi clan, this is a major matter related to the fate of their family, how can they not care.

But no matter how much they care, they are just spectators. All that awaits is a victorious verdict. All that can be done is to wait and see what happens.

Early the next morning, the Yong army marched down Nagasaki Castle.

The first land battle between the Ouchi clan and the Yong army began.

Zhu Houhuang stood in front of the formation, and the rows of soldiers were divided into six phalanxes, of which two phalanxes of the Yong army were in the middle, and the four phalanxes of the Annan army were on both sides.

The dock that was burned down at this moment has not yet fully recovered, and the real siege artillery has not yet arrived. However, Zhu Houhuang felt that he couldn't wait in the city, and some work had to be done in advance. At the same time, I would like to say hello to Yoshiko Ouchi.
