", who does he think he is? Dare to shout in front of Lao Tzu! ”

Qin Mufeng threw Rijkaard out, only then did he turn his head and pout, "What's the matter!" annoyed Lao Tzu, and even Batavia cleaned up together! ”

Cha Xuan said coldly: "Okay, don't worry about him, and then talk about our war, Osaka Bay and Edo Bay, Osaka Bay has two cities, Kobe and Osaka, Edo Bay has Edo and Yokohama, both of which have a large population, such as Edo has a population of no less than 500,000, and the city is as high as one, even in the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a first-class prefecture city, and I want to take Edo City, and Edo City is nearly two thousand miles away from Satsuma Domain, and nearly three thousand miles away from Nagasaki!" Most of our supplies have to be transported by sea, and there are too many variables, so we might as well choose Osaka Bay! ”

Zheng Haotian muttered: "Master Inspector, it's not impossible to attack Osaka Bay, but the topography of Osaka Bay is similar to that of Satsuma Domain, both of which have a narrow entrance and a wide sea inside, even deeper than Satsuma Domain's Bay, and Awaji Island in Osaka Bay completely separates the northern part of the Seto Inland Sea, and the narrowest sea surface of Shikoku Island in the south is only twenty miles, and the narrowest sea area is also less than twenty miles northwest from the Kobe area; Facing the Kishu Peninsula from east to west, the distance is thirty or forty miles wide, but unfortunately, between the two, there are two small islands, namely Oki Island and Jijijima, from which this strait is cut off, and the widest part of the sea is only more than ten miles away. Toei has lighthouses on both small islands and Awaji Island, and now there are troops here, and we want to enter Osaka Bay from here, but it's too difficult......"

Cha Bolt shouted, "Where's the map, then the map!" ”

Deng Xiong on the side hurriedly spread out the map on the table, and Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng carefully looked at the map.

Sure enough, this sea area is so complicated that Awaji Island, Oki Island, Jijijima Island, and Honshu Island almost enclose the entire Osaka Bay. Osaka Bay is not so much a sea as a lake, and Awaji Island is in it, blocking the entire road to the army, and only a few artillery battalions need to be deployed in this area, so it is impossible for a huge fleet to easily break in......

It's just that in the southeast of Honshu Island, only Kobe and Osaka in Osaka Bay have harbors, which are suitable for landing, and the waters in the rest of the places are not clear, so they rashly drive the fleet in, and once they hit the reef and run aground, it will be a live target.

"It's okay, send an amphibious battalion in advance to eliminate all the Dongying garrisons on Oki Island and Ji Island, and then rush through the gap between the two islands! Judging from the map, the closest distance between Okishima and Awaji Island is also more than 20 miles, we walk along the edge of Okishima, the view at night is poor, we can completely avoid the lighthouse on Awaji Island, as long as the army breaks into Osaka Bay, then there is no matter of the defenders of Toei, from Okishima to Osaka is a distance of 200 miles, enough for us to maneuver......"

In three days, 50,000 infantry cavalry and artillery battalions boarded the battleship and went straight to Osaka Bay under the protection of the Ming fleet!

Almost at the same time, the impatient Shimazu Kulie also began the conquest of Shikoku Island, although the Satsuma Domain suffered a lot in the war, but the main force is still there, as the most powerful daimyo of Toei's military power, the Satsuma Domain's combat power is far better than other feudal towns, not to mention that there are 3,000 elite Ming troops to follow the formation.

The whole Dongying, although the terrain is narrow and mountainous, but there are a lot of people, in this era, there are almost 15 or 6 million people, but most of these populations are concentrated in Honshu Island and Kyushu Island in the south, Honshu Island has a population of more than 10 million, Kyushu Island has a population of more than 4 million, Shikoku Island also has a population of 2 million, although the area of Hokkaido is vast, but because of the cold climate, there are only 1 million people, Dongying four major islands, Honshu Island is the largest, the largest population, Kyushu Island is prosperous in trade, the people's livelihood is rich, Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, Only Shikoku Island is the most featureless, sandwiched between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, it is an out-and-out poor worm, in the Warring States Period, there is no decent strength at all, and it is the most unlucky to be crushed back and forth by the Satsuma Domain, Nagasaki Domain, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi and other big forces.

On the island of Shikoku, there are a total of five daimyos, ruling over the population of two million on Shikoku Island, the largest daimyo Tosa Domain, but also ruling less than five or six hundred thousand people, under the command of 10,000 troops, Shikoku Island is small, the people are sparse, the place is barren, there is no strength to compete with the Satsuma Domain, when the Shimazu family was the strongest, more than half of the territory of Shikoku Island was the Shimazu family, and later under the suppression of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the power was shrunk to the Satsuma Domain.

Now that the Satsuma Domain has made a comeback, with more than 20,000 troops and 3,000 elite musket battalions of the Ming army, how can the daimyo on Shikoku Island withstand such strong military pressure? What's more, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate suffered a heavy blow, and the troops were lost, and even the troops sent by themselves were all buried, not only the Tokugawa shogunate is now unable to protect Shikoku Island, but the daimyo of Shikoku Island are also damaged in strength, and the five daimyo panicked when they landed.

As soon as they landed, the army of the Satsuma Domain, with the assistance of the elite of the Ming Army, began to storm the city, aiming directly at the Tosa Domain, which was closest to the Satsuma Domain.

Along the way, the Satsuma Domain was like a bamboo, and the 10,000 garrisons of the Tosa Domain were not the opponents of the Satsuma Domain at all.

The Satsuma Domain took over the Tosa Domain, and without stopping, it continued to advance towards the rest of Shikoku Island, and the remaining four daimyo forces together were only 20,000 people, fighting separately, and they were not the opponents of the Satsuma Domain.

Shimazu Hisayu is now in high spirits, and his tail has been raised to the sky, I didn't expect that the glory of the Shimazu family would be reproduced in his own hands, and he was the master of the Shimazu family's Zhongxing, haha......

"The head of the Shimazu family, the whole of Shikoku Island has surrendered, and you are now the owner of Shikoku Island, in addition, together with Awaji Island, the Ming Imperial Court also intends to hand it over to you for jurisdiction, how about it, this favor is rich enough, right?"

Zhao Yan on the side said with a smile.

"Enough, hearty enough! Thank you for the grace of the Great Ming Dynasty, thank you for the support of the two Governors, and thank you General Zhao for your help, haha! ”

Zhao Yan sneered and said, "Well, since it's rich enough, then you have to show it too, right?" In this way, you don't want the Satsuma Domain, we Ming want to use the Satsuma Domain as the military base of the imperial court in Dongying! You Shimazu family give it up to us......"
