"Hmm!"

Qin Mufeng was noncommittal and did not answer.

Tan Guilin hurriedly continued: "Master Governor, now that Kyushu Island has basically fallen into our hands, I have begun to send garrisons to the various domains to maintain order, Nagasaki Domain has 3,000 troops, Satsuma Domain has 5,000 troops, and Chikuzen Domain, Wofei Domain and other four feudal towns, each of which has 2,000 troops, with these troops stationed on Kyushu Island, it must be foolproof, and then, we can concentrate on attacking Shikoku Island, or Kyushu Island." ”

"Don't bother!"

Qin Mufeng snorted coldly: "Pass the order, Nagasaki garrison 4,000, Hirado garrison 1,000; Satsuma garrison of five thousand; The rest of the troops were all withdrawn, and cities with a population of more than 50,000 were sent to garrison an infantry battalion; This island is not half the size of Shandong Province, and there are only five cities with a population of more than 50,000 except for Nagasaki and Kagoshima Castle, and there are enough troops to garrison them, as long as the Matsuura family and the Shimazu family do not make trouble, the rest of the feudal clans now do not even have a leader, and they can't make trouble if they want to! Gather all our forces and go to the Satsuma Domain, and I will discuss countermeasures with Lao Cha. ”

Two days later, all the main forces of the Ming army, along with the Ming fleet, had gathered in the Satsuma Domain.

"Lao Cha, Brother Yifan is very dissatisfied with us, what should we do?"

Qin Mufeng grinned bitterly and said, on weekdays, Qin Mufeng is naturally not afraid of Xu Yifan, but when he arrives on the battlefield, the military law is ruthless, and the emperor is the person who hates disobedience the most.

Cha Xuan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "For today's plan, I can only do my best, and Brother Yifan is too, just knowing how to scold us, why don't you know how to give us an idea......"

"If you want me to say, in one go, take Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, anyway, we will not be short of food and grass, even if there is no flintlock musket and artillery to help, we are sure enough to beat the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate!"

Qin Mufeng snorted coldly.

Cha Xuan shook his head and replied: "Mu Feng, you are a reckless man, and now the emperor not only hopes that you are a cadre who charges into battle, but hopes that we can all become handsome like Yifan and strategize!" If we don't have enough ammunition, we will storm Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island, and even if we take them all, how many troops will we lose, haven't you thought about it? Even if we take Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, will we still have enough troops to deter the entire Toei? Even if we have enough troops to deter Dongying, do we still have enough troops to encircle and suppress Zheng Cai again? ”

Qin Mufeng pouted and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Cha Xuan said in a deep voice: "Now the situation is obvious, even if the Tokugawa shogunate is defeated, the current strength is still far superior to the Yiguan party, my plan is to stabilize the situation on Kyushu Island, and then concentrate on eating the strength of Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon in one go, and finally nail the target on this island, and swallow the entire Dongying in one fell swoop!" ”

"You mean to hit Zheng Cai's fleet first?"

Cha Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, don't they just want to rob?" Give them such an opportunity, now we have looted a lot of silver from Kyushu Island, gold is 100,000 taels, silver is 4 or 5 million taels, this is a huge amount of money, now the imperial court is just short of money and food, all sent back to the emperor, let out the news in advance, this Satsuma Domain definitely has a lot of spies of the official party, and will definitely put the news back as soon as possible, we will use these gold and silver as bait to trick Zheng Cai into being fooled, as long as he kills his fleet, then the rest will not be worried! ”

Qin Mufeng hesitated for a moment and replied: "Tagawa Nanazaemon is easy to deal with, but this Zheng Cai is cunning, the troops we sent are too strong, he will not take the bait, the troops we sent are too small, I am afraid that we will fight the dogs with meat buns, and we will not go back......"

Cha Xuan said in a deep voice: "Xia Wanchun, immediately send the order to go down, and transport all the gold and silver we have seized to Kagoshima Castle in the Satsuma Domain, to make the momentum bigger, and pass the order, this time let Shi Lang take the right army battalion to personally escort it, the strength of the right army camp is not weak, and it is no problem to support it on the sea for an hour or two, we only need to hang the front army camp and the middle army camp far behind, once there is a war in front, we will advance with all our might, outflank it from both wings, and besiege Zheng Cai's fleet, the three main battalions, If we can't encircle and annihilate Zheng Cai's fleet, then we will be too useless! ”

Qin Mufeng looked at Shi Lang on the side and asked, "Honor, are you sure that you can withstand Zheng Cai's siege on the sea?" ”

Shi Lang said proudly: "Master Inspector, although my right army battalion does not have the strength to defeat Zheng Cai's fleet, it is more than enough to protect itself, and within two or three hours, Zheng Cai's fleet can't help us!" ”

Shi Lang naturally has a certain confidence to say this, the young man is not very old, but he is definitely an expert in naval warfare, and now the right wing battalion has three first-class warships, fifteen second-class warships, and the combat power is extremely strong, and the rest have twenty warships of different sizes, such a strong force is enough to pose a certain threat to Zheng Cai's fleet.

"In that case, then follow Lao Cha's plan! Go down immediately and prepare, respect, bring more ammunition, don't be careful, if something happens in front of you, then our brothers really don't have the face to go to Songjiang Mansion! ”

Qin Mufeng shouted.

Shi Lang's heart froze, what Inspector Qin said was very clear, he didn't have the face to return to Songjiang Mansion, that is to say, once he was defeated, Qin Mufeng didn't know if he died, and he would definitely have to apologize with his head.

"The two Governors can rest assured, Shi Lang will definitely live up to his mission!"

Shi Lang shouted.

"Okay, Mu Feng, that's it, as long as Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon take the bait, then we are sure enough to wipe out the Zheng family's fleet in one fell swoop! Under the order, all the warships were fully loaded with ammunition, and in order to encircle and annihilate the Yiguan Party, at all costs, as long as the route was opened, why worry about not having enough ammunition! ”

Cha Bolt shouted.

The entire Ming army functioned.

A few days later, all the gold and silver looted from all over the country arrived in Kagoshima and were loaded onto the warships of the right army battalion, gold and silver were different from grain and ammunition, and did not take up much space, and a part of them was placed on the three main warships, which was enough to bring back, and there was no need for merchant ships to carry them.

Shi Lang drove away with the battalion of the right army.

Qin Mufeng is right, Zheng Cai is cunning and cunning, and he may not be fooled, but God is beautiful, but at this time, Zheng Cai left Ryukyu and went to other places, contacted the rest of the Zheng family scattered all over the place, and gave Cha Shu and Qin Mufeng an excellent chance to get off the phone!
