In Matsudaira Nobutsuna's view, it is difficult to keep Hirado Island now, and whether Nagasaki is in the hands of Toei is also between the two, after all, transportation and communication are not convenient in this era, and the distance from Nagasaki to Edo is not bad for thousands of miles, and the news does not come so quickly.

However, he didn't expect the Ming army to move so fast!

The combat power of the Tianxiong army is too strong, whether it is troops, weapons, or individual combat power, the Tianxiong army is better than the defenders of Yiguandang and Matsuura Zhenxin, only on the third day, the Ming army has fully occupied Hirado Island, and Yiguandang and Matsuura army hastily withdrew from Hirado Island, suffering heavy casualties.

Without any pause, the Tenxiong army launched an attack on the Kitamatsunura Peninsula in Nagasaki.

Hirado Island is closely adjacent to the Kitamatsunura Peninsula, no more than 20 li at the farthest point, and less than 2 li at the nearest point.

Zheng Haotian's left and right flank battalions directly forced Zheng Cai's fleet to stop, so that Zheng Cai's fleet could not patrol this sea area at all, and without the protection of the fleet, Matsuura Zhenxin's Nagasaki Domain was completely exposed to the Ming army's artillery fire!

Qin Mufeng mobilized sixty artillery pieces in one breath and lined up in the southeast direction of Hirado Island, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the North Matsuura Peninsula!

From early in the morning, bombarded in one breath to the afternoon!

Tens of thousands of shells were thrown on the positions of the Toei Army on the North Matsuura Peninsula, and the entire North Matsuura Peninsula was already in the midst of war, Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon almost turned over all their belongings and made up less than twenty artillery pieces, but their shells were all solid shells, in addition to being able to pose a certain threat to the ships, the threat to the Ming army's position on the opposite island of Hirado was really limited, and the long coastline, if you want to defend it with twenty guns, where is it so easy?

For most of the day, the North Matsuura Peninsula was bombed with scorched earth everywhere, with seriously wounded soldiers everywhere, and twenty artillery pieces were also blown to pieces.

Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon were dumbfounded, and they really couldn't imagine how the Ming army had undergone such tremendous changes in just a few years, with so many muskets and artillery, how did the Ming Empire make it?

How do they know that in order to speed up production and expand the scale of production, Zhu Jie has spent a lot of effort, and even does not hesitate to directly outsource some parts and components to private businessmen at high prices, so as to promote production, which is completely a division of labor, the general assembly of the Firearms Bureau, and the same is true for ammunition, so that a few nobles can operate with a license, as long as the products are qualified, how many imperial courts want, then the natural production efficiency will be high, otherwise, just rely on those people in the Firearms Bureau, How could so many flowering cannons and flintlock muskets be made so quickly?

Now the power of the entire civil business has burst out, and even new technologies have begun to emerge and be applied to the military industry.

In the afternoon of the same day, the defensive position built by Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Shichizaemon was directly destroyed by the Ming army, and dozens of troop carriers carrying 40,000 soldiers began to rush towards the North Matsuura Peninsula, and in less than an hour, they rushed to the opposite shore and entered the Nagasaki realm, and the Tianxiong army was invincible!

The landing Tianxiong army was even more unstoppable, and the 40,000 troops formed four phalanxes and advanced towards the entire North Matsuura Peninsula, so that the army of Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon was invincible and continued to retreat, and by the time it was dark, the North Matsuura Peninsula had all fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and I was afraid that in three or five days, the entire Nagasaki Domain would change hands.

"Jiro! Jiro! The Ming army's offensive is too fierce, and if it goes on like this, we are afraid that we will all die in the Nagasaki Domain! ”

Zheng Zhi'e came to Tagawa Nanaemon's side and said urgently to Tagawa Nanaemon.

Tagawa Nanazaemon's face turned bitter, and he said astringently: "Uncle, is there any other way for us now?" Unstoppable, completely unstoppable, defeat is decided! ”

Zheng Zhi'e said fiercely: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, since Dongying can't get mixed up, then we can only escape from Dongying and find another way, thirty-six plans are the best policy!" ”

"You said you would give up the Hirado Domain and Nagasaki?"

Tagawa Nanazaemon was stunned.

"Of course!"

Zheng Zhi'e replied: "Is there any other way for us?" Let's go, leave Dongying immediately, taking advantage of the Ming army's eagerness to take the Nagasaki Domain, and there is no time to take care of anything else, we immediately take Acai's fleet, leave Dongying, and go straight to Ryukyu Island! We still have some forces on Ryukyu Island, as long as we manage them carefully, it won't take a few years to regain our strength! If you don't leave now, you will never be able to leave! ”

"However, there is no shadow of Ah Cai's fleet now......"

Tagawa Nanazaemon was already in a panic, and he didn't know what to do, after all, he was younger, just in his twenties, and when he encountered such a big thing, how could he stay calm?

Zheng Zhi'e sighed secretly, and said in a deep voice: "Jiro, don't worry, long before Ah Cai left, I had already instructed him, once the situation is irreparable, let him lead the fleet and approach the northeast direction of Nagasaki Port, now I am afraid that Ah Cai has already begun to act, he has been in battle for a long time, and his judgment of the battlefield situation is more agile than the two of us, and he can't delay any longer, take our remnants of the army, move to the northeast, and then board the battleship, turn to the southwest, and go straight to Ryukyu Island!" ”

Zheng Zhi'e and Ah Cai are different from Tagawa Nanaemon, after all, they are both old rivers and lakes, and they are much more thoughtful than the rookie Tagawa Nanaemon.

"But, however, we just gave Tokugawa Iemitsu a large sum of silver, so wouldn't it be all in vain to give up the base in Hirado like this?"

Tagawa Nanazaemon said urgently.

Zheng Zhi'e's face turned dark, and he shouted: "Jiro, you are sober and sober, we can make more money if the money is gone, if the little life is gone, then there is nothing!" If we don't leave, it will really be too late, once the Ben Ming army surrounds us, then we will only have a dead end! ”

At present, the strength of the Yiguan Party on land is only six or seven thousand, such a small number of troops, once surrounded, with the combat strength of the Tianxiong Army, it will definitely be lifeless!

"Order, the army immediately assembles and retreats in a northeast direction!"

Tagawa Nanazaemon endured the impact of his distress and shouted.

Six or seven thousand troops began to break away from the battlefield and rushed to the northeast, and now it is the family that fell to death, and he takes care of himself, as for the life and death of Songpu Zhenxin, he loves to die or not, and has nothing to do with himself!
