This old man had seen the world, and he was one of Shimazu Shiku's wise men, and he knew that the emperor could not suddenly have such a strong strength, so it was more credible for the emperor to attach himself to a certain daimyo to conquer the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan, but ...... Are there any other big names in Japan who can challenge these two?

In doubt, the old man heard Sasaki's answer: "This is the banner of the Great Ming Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor borrowed troops from the Great Ming Kingdom to crusade against the rebellion, the two rounds of heavenly thunder bombardment just now are the force of the Great Ming Kingdom, are you convinced?" If you obey, surrender quickly, otherwise you can be wiped out with a thunderbolt alone! ”

Udu Naichuan and the old man looked at each other for a while, and the old man sighed lightly: "It turns out that the emperor borrowed the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, so it's no wonder, since the emperor wants to rebel, we are naturally willing to follow the emperor, please take me and Udu Naichuan to see the emperor, can the others clean up and find the whereabouts of the head of the family, Shimazu Shiku......"

Sasaki: "Okay, you come with me, the others quickly find out Shimazu Shiku, live to see people and dead to see corpses, let's go!" ”

Sasaki Nan took the two back to the dock, the old man's eyes were still sharp, and when he looked up, he saw the king of Nara standing on the side of the ship, and he hurriedly took off his clothes and bowed, "Your ...... Asakawa Shin Kei knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Seeing this, Udu Naigawa also hurriedly bowed to the ground, and then the king of Nara said happily: "Hurry up relatives, the two of you are...... Shimazu Shiku's subordinates? Where is Shimadzu now? ”

Asakawa replied faithfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the mountain castle was suddenly shelled, and many houses collapsed, and the head of the family was afraid that he was buried under the rubble, and he was not found for a while. ”

Later, the king of Nara chatted with them twice, and then sighed lightly: "Now that the country is in turmoil, and the traitors are in charge, I can only use the power of the Ming Dynasty to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, why don't the two righteous men help me?" Your head of the family will surely join the rebels. ”

Now there is still their share of saying no, no matter what they think in their hearts, they all agree with it, and the appearance of beating their chests is really loyal.

Soon after, news came from the Taiheiji Castle that Shimazu Shijiu had been found, and this guy was quite lucky, unharmed, but it was inevitable that he would be disgraced, and his hair was still gray when he came to see the king of Nara.

After the king of Nara and Yan Yue, he asked him to join the army of the traitors with a counterattack, and Shimazu Shijiu was shocked, how dare he say half a word, of course, he agreed.

Seeing the frightened and respectful appearance of these people, King Go-Nara's heart was unprecedentedly happy, he had never been truly respected in his life, except for a few little palace maids and attendants around him, who would be afraid of him.

With great satisfaction in his heart, the king of Nara was full of gratitude to Duan Fei, he felt that he had done nothing wrong, asking for help from Da Ming might make him lose something, but if he didn't do this, he would have nothing.

The Taipeiji City has been bombarded to the point that he can't greet His Majesty the Emperor, not to mention the collapse of the Taiheiji Temple, and the surrender of Shimazu Shijiu is just a deterrent means for Duan Fei to show his strength, he has no intention of staying in Taiheiji for a long time, and after Shimazu Shijiu decides to send troops to help the King of Nara rebel, Duan Fei immediately ordered to return.

Later, when the king of Nara re-boarded the Daifuku ship from the small gunboat, Duan Fei smiled and asked the same question: "Does the king think that the walls of Kyoto can withstand a few cannon bombardments?" ”

The king of Hou Nara smiled bitterly: "Wei Guogong came to tease me again, take my look at the city wall of Kyoto...... I can't withstand two rounds of bombardment, Xiao Wang can get the care of the Ming Emperor, and he sent Wei Guogong to help me, it's really a great emperor's grace......"

Duan Fei said with a smile: "It's good that the king understands, in fact, our emperor does not have high requirements for Japan, as long as the king governs his country well and is considerate to Da Ming, our emperor will be very satisfied." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" After Nara, King Wei Wei said: "Xiao Wang must work hard and will live up to the expectations of Emperor Ming." ”

The fleet returned to the port of Hozu without stopping long, and after being loaded with supplies, it sailed south with the emperor's family of three.

"The king has been away from home for a long time, and he must have missed it a little, so I will escort the king back to Kyoto......" Duan Fei said with a smile to the three members of the family of the king of Nara.

King Hou Nara never thought that he would be able to return to Kyoto so quickly, and he said with surprise and joy: "Could it be that there is news that Hosokawa Takagong and Ouchi Yoshiko have evacuated Kyoto?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "How can there be such a good thing, those two guys don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, please rest assured, we still have a lot to do along the way, I believe that when we arrive in Kyoto, there will be many daimyo or righteous people who will rise up to assist the king to exterminate those traitors, maybe we can successfully take Kyoto without firing a single shot!" ”

Later, the king of Nara said happily and worriedly: "The soldiers of the Duke of Wei are like gods, and they are powerful in the world, and the little king believes in the Duke of Wei, so everything will be arranged by the Duke of Weiguo." ”

Just like Duan Fei said, the North Sea Fleet did not directly kill Kyoto, but advanced along the coastline, first came to a place called Yatsu in the southeast corner of Kyushu, which is the territory of the Daimyo Island Mountain of Kyushu Island, the North Sea Fleet lined up in the coastal sea without saying a word, and the artillery bombarded it, and after the bombardment was not much, it was difficult to send Sasaki ashore to recruit An, regardless of whether the recruitment was successful or not, the power of the artillery of the Shu Army and the news of the emperor's edict against rebellion were really spread.

This was just the beginning, the North Sea Fleet sailed along the coast, shelled all the way, and after shelling Shimayama Naotou, it was the turn of the Otomo clan, and then the fleet turned to the east and came to the base of the Hosokawa family, Shikoku Island.

"Boom ......"

With the bombardment of the cannons, the walls of Songshan Castle were blown to pieces and fell, and a group of fierce widows rushed to the position of the Shu army, only to be blown into meat sauce by the second round of shelling, and a very small number of people who rushed to the front of the Shu army were not knocked down by the muskets, but were killed one by one by the guards brought by the Lord Wei Guogong.

Since coming to the territory of the Hosokawa family, Duan Fei has changed his tactics, he not only sat on the ship and bombarded it with naval artillery, but the spare cannon on the ship was moved off the ship by him, and the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet took turns to go ashore, bombarding from afar and fighting from afar, just a few hundred people, and they were actually unimpeded all the way, no one could stop them, and they killed all the way to the city of Songshan, looting a lot of gold and silver artifacts, everyone was very happy and their morale was high.

Japan's gold and silver mines are abundant, the sea is rich in pearls, although the Japanese people are poor, but there are a lot of gold and silver utensils and jewelry, causing this strange situation, is the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade strategy that lasted for many years, the Japanese are sitting on the gold mountain can not spend it.

These hundreds of troops knocked down the walls of Songshan City, and the only resistance force in Songshan City was also exhausted under the blind charge, Duan Fei gave an order and personally led the army to rush towards Songshan City.

Without the protection of the city walls, Matsuyama Castle was like a young woman stripped of her clothes, and after the army rushed in, they began to plunder, and those who dared to resist were killed without exception, and only young and beautiful girls, but also healthy and strong boys under the age of fifteen had a chance to be pardoned.

The soldiers who rushed into the city had a great harvest, and everyone was overjoyed, and their waists and arms were full of stolen gold, silver and jewelry.

Duan Fei did not participate in the looting, the women and guards around him did not participate, after a long time of testing the battle array, even the monks who eat fasting are used to ignoring them, the war is cruel, if there is no temptation of gold, silver and jewelry, just with the majesty of the emperor and the worship of Wei Guogong, it is difficult to maintain the morale of courage all the time, Yuantong They can only choose to ignore it, anyway, Lord Wei Guogong is either fighting Tartar or fighting Japanese Kou, these guys have caused many sins to the people of the Ming Dynasty, Now it's time for them to pay off their debts.

Duan Fei didn't have any purpose, that is, he came to the city to walk around, and the city lord of Songshan City rushed towards Duan Fei with a long knife and a few people when Duan Fei was about to step into his city lord's mansion, and the guards around Duan Fei didn't move at all, as if he didn't see Wei Guogong encountering a threat.

Wei Guogong's eyes, which had always been elegant and elegant, shone with excitement, and he excitedly shouted: "Good come, it's all mine, don't rob any of you!" ”

Wei Guogong strode forward and snatched it out, flicked the hem of his clothes, and pulled out the dragon's tooth blade with a loud bang, and collided with the city lord of Songshan City in the blink of an eye.

Just when everyone thought that Wei Guogong and the Lord of Songshan City had collided, the figure of Wei Guogong suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared in front of another widow, and in an instant, Wei Guogong's silver flashed seven or eight times, and finally Wei Guogong's figure appeared in the gate of the inner city of Songshan City, he carried the dragon tooth blade on his shoulder, turned around and smiled, and shouted: "It's also ...... It's ...... too."

The city lord of Songshan City slowly slumped down in Duan Fei's laughter as if they had been frozen, and at this time, those with poor eyesight found traces of blood on the hands and feet of those widows.

Guan Xiaohan walked to Duan Fei's side with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Fujun for his more refined sword skills, the sword is invisible, and it does not damage his body at all, and Fujun's knife skills have reached the realm of lifting weights like light." ”

Yuantong and other guards immediately controlled the city lord of Songshan City and his subordinates, Duan Fei was about to enter the city lord's mansion to loot, when he suddenly heard a dull sound of cannons in the distance, Duan Fei's expression changed, and he turned his head to pick up the telescope and look at the coastline.

The flag bearer on the Perseverance was waving the flag order, Duan Fei quickly saw the clue from it, he put down the binoculars, and said in a deep voice: "Yuantong, a few of you go back to the ship with me, and the others control Songshan City and wait for the order." ”

Guan Xiaohan asked, "What happened to my husband?" ”

Duan Fei said: "The sound just now was a cannon, and I learned from the flag order that there are many ships in the east, which look like the warships of the Hosokawa family, and I want to rush back to the ship to command the battle." ”

Guan Xiaohan blurted out and said, "The battleship of the Hosokawa family? How many battleships can they have? Husband don't need to be in a hurry, according to me, I don't need to rush back at all, and I'm afraid it's too late to rush back, it's better to send an order to let the people on the ship line up to meet the enemy, just the five ironclad Dafu ships are enough for the enemy to drink a pot, otherwise we can also let the artillery team on the shore use horses to pull the cannon to the east, saying that the enemy is not prepared to bombard from the side, it will definitely play a strange effect. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "You are really a bystander, I was in a hurry and almost out of proportion, someone came, passed the flag order, ordered the captain of the Perseverance to temporarily take command, and the fleet retreated five miles to the west, and lined up to meet the enemy!" ”
