Chapter 1223 - Find a Surrogate

Tagawa Nanazaemon led the remnants of the defeated army and fled, and with Zheng Cai's fleet, carrying six or seven thousand troops, boarded the ship from the northern part of the North Matsuura Peninsula, fled directly to Ryukyu Island, and left Matsuura Town Nobu in the Nagasaki Domain, and even Hirado Island could not be cared for.

Matsuura Zhenxin, who got the news, was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted to death!

"Hate, I hate!"

Matsuura Zhenxin Hero I, I didn't expect that he was continuously overshadowed by this Tagawa Nanazaemon, first took out a lot of wealth to buy off Aoyama Tadashi and Sakai Tadashi, and persuaded General Tokugawa to directly divide the Nagasaki Domain into two, and all the Hirado Mishima were given to the Tagawa clan, only Nagasaki was left to himself, this time it was better, and he was directly and inexplicably involved in the war between the Tagawa clan and the Ming fleet, and suffered heavy losses, and the Hirado Domain, which originally belonged to him, was lost, and now even Nagasaki can't be saved, it's really sad to go to grandma's house!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

Jiang Zuotaro on the side said urgently: "Are you okay, this, this Ming army has launched an attack, you should quickly think of a way, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not take a few days, and the entire Nagasaki will be captured by the Ming army, and we don't even have a foothold!" ”

"Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Matsudaira Nobutsuna!"

Matsuura Zhenxin shouted.

Ezotaro said astringently: "My lord, Lord Matsudaira Nobutsuna has long led the Toei fleet to aid Edo, and now Edo is also under attack by the Ming army......"

"Continue to retreat to the north and northeast, it is important to preserve the strength, if the Matsuura family's feudal troops are annihilated, then the Matsuura family will no longer exist! Remove! ”

Matsuura Zhenxin is not stupid, hard top? Let's play, there are only 20,000 people under his command now, even if the number of troops is doubled, it is definitely not the opponent of the Ming army, and now it is even more useless, immediately withdraw into Nagasaki City, with Nagasaki City, maybe you can hold on for some time, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Matsuura Zhenxin led his remnants of the defeated army to retreat towards Nagasaki Castle continuously, along the way, embarrassed, and when he entered Nagasaki Castle, the number of troops in his hands had plummeted to 10,000, and he was either chased and annihilated by the Ming army pursuing behind, or he became a deserter halfway.

As soon as Matsuura Zhenxin entered Nagasaki Castle, the Ming army immediately followed, and 20,000 forward troops surrounded Nagasaki Castle and began the siege of Nagasaki Castle.

Zheng Haotian led the fleet to attack from the sea, dozens of gunboats began to storm Nagasaki Castle together, and Xia Wanchun led 20,000 elites and dozens of artillery pieces to attack from the shore.

A Nagasaki city, with a total population of only about 100,000, even if it is a national war of resistance, it will definitely not be able to stop the powerful offensive of the Ming army!

In just one day, the Ming army fired tens of thousands of shells at Nagasaki City, almost all of which fell on the south of Nagasaki City, no matter how strong the city wall was, it would definitely not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of so many shells, and the city wall of Nagasaki City was directly bombed out of a huge opening!

Thousands of Ming troops with muskets in their hands began to charge towards Nagasaki City along the breach at the head of the city, wave after wave of charge, the gunfire was like firecrackers, the sound kept ringing, the Matsuura family's feudal soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they could no longer support it, they retreated one after another, and the southern city was already crumbling!

Matsuura Zhenxin knows that the Nagasaki Domain is completely finished, and his Matsuura family is also completely finished, and now Nagasaki Castle has been besieged, even if he wants to break through, it is impossible, as for the shogunate's reinforcements, God knows when they will be able to reach Honshu Island and Nagasaki!

"Order, the head of the city raised the white flag and surrendered ......"

Faced with an enemy so strong that he was suffocating, Matsuura Zhenxin had no choice but to continue to escape, and his own troops were eaten by the Ming army on the way to escape, and even he had to be captured alive, and life and death were unpredictable; I had no choice but to surrender and give up Nagasaki Castle.

From attacking the Nagasaki Domain to taking Nagasaki City, it took a total of four days, and in four days, the Nagasaki Domain was about to change hands, and the strength and ferocity of the Ming army completely shocked all the Dongying people!

Qin Mufeng had just rushed from Hirado Island to Nagasaki Castle, and before he could inquire about the battle situation, a soldier had already broken in.

"General, General!"

The soldier hurriedly said: "Nagasaki City, Nagasaki City has hung up the white flag!" The people of the city are going to surrender! ”

Qin Mufeng pursed his lips and replied, "Surrender? What do you want to surrender? Lao Tzu didn't see the white flag, and continued to gather troops to storm Nagasaki City, Lao Tzu just wanted to beat the Dongying devils at one time, and they didn't dare to think about it in their lives! ”

Xia Wanchun's face turned dark, wiped it, this is really a killing god!

"Master Overseer, this is inappropriate!"

Xia Wanchun hurriedly stopped: "Our battle on Hirado Island is already powerful enough, and if we want to slaughter again, it will only arouse the hatred of the Dongying people, and then we will not be able to move an inch in Dongying, there are Dongying people everywhere, how can we rule Dongying?" You must know that the emperor is still waiting for Dongying's silver, Dongying is rich in silver mines, rich in silver, our best way is to find an agent in Dongying, instead of us to manage Dongying, and then Dongying's resources will be continuously transported back to China! Killing can't solve the problem fundamentally......"

Qin Mufeng glared at Xia Wanchun and muttered, "What the hell, you hairy boy knows a fart?" ”

However, after all, Xia Wanchun may not be Qin Mufeng's opponent in the war, but when it comes to others, Qin Mufeng can't catch up, this is Zhu Jie's disciple, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is deeply favored by Zhu Jie, and even Qin Mufeng feels jealous.

"So what do you say?"

Xia Wanchun said with a smile: "The best way is to accept the surrender of Matsuura Zhenxin, and then promise a benefit, let him take the lead for us, in the entire Kyushu Island, there are only two powerful daimyo, one is the Matsuura family, the other is the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, the Shimazu family is even stronger than the Matsuura family, we want to occupy the entire Kyushu Island, only with 40,000 troops, although we can complete this thing, but if we want to rule here, we may not be able to." We told Matsuura that we supported him in unifying the entire island of Kyushu and forming a confrontation with the Tokugawa shogunate, but the Matsuura family must swear allegiance to the Ming and help the Ming to manage Kyushu Island, and when the time comes, after the Satsuma domain is cleaned up, we can assist Matsuura Zhenxin to complete the confrontation against the Tokugawa shogunate by leaving only one force on Kyushu Island, and Toei is divided into two, and no one can sit on the throne, so that we will get the maximum benefit......"
