The Mamoru family is from the Koshu Takeda clan in Japan, and the Koshu Takeda clan is from Genji, the ancestor of Shousui Nobuyoshi is also a son of the Takeda Mountain monkey. After the martyrdom of Katsuyori, he fled with his family to the Kansai region of Japan, and in the original history of Yellowstone, the last job of the family was to be a merchant, and continued until the end of the Edo period, and their family has always been known for their active brains and good at seeing the wind and steering.

This Shousui Nobuyoshi is only 20 years old this year, and he just defected to the Choshu Domain last year and became the head of the ashigaru, with a salary of 50 stone rice every year. When the feudal clan was suddenly mobilized secretly last month, Nobuyoshi Moriso thought that the shogunate was finally going to attack Choshu. But when he walked into the team full of tragedy, the general who led the team told him that he had gone to fight a group of "pirates".

Wang Zhi and other pirates were called Japanese pirates in China, and they were once called "Ming Kou" in Japan. Later, the shogunate did not dare to call it that, so they changed to the title of pirate. In the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were always chased and beaten by the Chinese government, but in Japan they often chased after the Japanese government army. During the Warring States period, Japan's powerful "princes" were always very polite to large groups of pirates, because pirates were generally stronger than Japanese vassals. It was not until the shogunate period that the balance of power between the two sides gradually changed. After the Korean War, the Tokugawa Mansion was also ruthless, and he tried his best to exterminate many of the surrounding bandits, for fear of giving the Ming Dynasty an excuse to start a war.

As for the most powerful bandits, the Tokugawa shogunate secretly called them "maritime merchants". For example, Li Dan and Zheng Yiguan and others, each of these guys can mobilize tens of thousands of troops, and they are inextricably linked to the Ming Dynasty, and they are also attached to the Ming Dynasty and have the identity of Fujian merchants. The Tokugawa shogunate knew that it would not be able to defeat them, so it turned a blind eye to their encroachment on Japanese lands and cities.

Hearing that the opponent was a sea bandit, Hou Shou Sui Shinyoshi and his peasant soldiers were demoralized - since the other party could not be called a "Ming maritime merchant", it meant that they had no strength. Along the way, the samurai and peasants also heard that these hundreds of pirates had occupied the port of Shimonoseki of the Choshu Domain, and they were openly blackmailing the Choshu Domain, which made them even happier. Because this time, the Choshu Domain mobilized nearly 3,000 troops, including 2,000 combat soldiers. Isn't it just fun to fight hundreds of pirates who come ashore?

But as soon as he arrived near Shimonoseki, he felt that something was wrong, and the rows of soldiers on the opposite side were not bandits at first glance. The queue stood more neatly than the samurai on his side, and when the two sides lined up their troops, it was even more wrong, the ironclad guard of the "pirates" on the opposite side, and the boss who followed Nobuyoshi was stunned, and even forgot to give the usual order to parade, and the other samurai were dumbfounded. Shou Sui Xinji is not as unfamiliar as his Tubaozi colleagues, he heard a lot of rumors about the Ming Dynasty when he was in the realm, and the iron armor in front of him is the militaristic weapon of the Ming Dynasty at a glance, this thing is simply rich and there is no place to buy it.

Glancing at the few "maritime merchants" recognized by the shogunate, he couldn't make up so much iron armor, and he carefully told the leader of the team about the doubts in his heart, and the leader sent him to talk to the general this time. When the general saw the dazzling equipment on the other side, he was as speechless as a toad that had been struck by lightning. After listening to the report of the commander of the clan, the general scolded the military liars in the domain, and snorted and chirped his subordinates to try to communicate.

The messenger walked twenty meters in front of the pirate army and shouted, "I am a Maori family of the Choshu Domain...... Ahh Before Yang Zhiyuan came, Huang Shi had picked up some Japanese customs and customs to introduce him, and before Heidao finished translating the words, Yang Zhiyuan decided that this ceremony was a pre-war challenge, and Yang Guerrilla, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately ordered the battle to begin.

The projectiles from the three-pounder and six-pounder guns flew towards the head of the Choshu army with a whistling roar, and the artillery technology of Changsheng Island was much stronger than a few months ago. The opponent's long-range firepower and cavalry were poor, so the artillery of Changsheng Island pushed the artillery closer and engaged in ricochet fire. An accurate artillery bombardment was to open a hot iron ball in a bloody alley on the dense array of the Changzhou army, which would be wiped and killed. The Ming army regulations were all two-man artillery crews, and the eighteen-pounder Hongyi cannon was only specially strengthened to the four-man artillery group, and the group of 20 artillery units was custom-made for field battles, providing abundant manpower and artillery firing even over the arquebus. Now the three-pounder cannon can reach three per minute, and there is room for further improvement.

According to Kazuo Kuroshima, Japan had not fought in two generations, and it was indeed the first time that the Choshu samurai and peasants present had seen field artillery. However, what amazed Yang Zhiyuan was ...... They actually carried it, and after carrying the artillery of the Ming army alive, they still showed no signs of collapse. This kind of energy made Yang Zhiyuan admire. The lack of adaptation made nearly half of the fighters of the Ming army unable to go to the battlefield, so Yang Zhiyuan always hoped that the Changzhou army could be intimidated by artillery.

But now he couldn't wait any longer, Yang Zhiyuan was worried that sooner or later his opponent would wake up from the initial shock, so he ordered the infantry to start attacking. The first piece of information provided by Kazuo Kuroshima does not seem to be very accurate, but he hopes that Kazuo Kuroshima will not make the second mistake. It is said that the Choshu army was mainly composed of peasants, and Yang Zhiyuan hoped that when the white-knuckle charge came, the peasant soldiers would scatter in a hurry, and then rely on numbers to eliminate those samurai who did not flee.

After the charge, Yang Zhiyuan was even more shocked to see that the entire Changzhou army was scattered. Those hereditary samurai ran faster than the peasants. Yang Zhiyuan was very worried that an army with amazing discipline and supreme discipline would have such an appearance, and he stopped the planned pursuit to prevent fraud, and ordered the interrogation of the prisoners - Huang Shi's order to Yang Zhiyuan was to treat the prisoners preferentially, and the Immortal Army was not only a mighty army in Japan, but also a civilized army. Yellowstone's current goal is to do business, and it would be too unwise to provoke a people's war.

It was only through the interrogation of Yang Zhiyuan that he realized that he had made a dogmatic mistake. The strength of the Changzhou army at the beginning was not because of bravery, but because it was scared stupid from top to bottom, in fact, it was too shocking. And when the Ming army was charging with white knives, the Changzhou army, which came to its senses, naturally collapsed as quickly as possible.

That night, the Changzhou Domain, now guarding Suixinji, knows Chinese, and his brain is very active, so he was promoted to serve as a servant in the future, and he will negotiate with the "bandits" in the future. They estimated that someone must apologize for their sins this time, and in the end, this glorious task once again fell to Shousui Nobuyoshi, who had just returned from the mission of nine deaths and one life, and he was promoted to the elder of the Choshu clan again on the same day that he was promoted to the general of the army, and then was sent to the Ming Dynasty to apologize and apologize.

The two deputy envoys of the Choshu Domain, who accompanied him to the place, instilled in him a lot of truths about the importance of the main family, and kept hinting that Shousui Nobuyoshi should stand up at a "critical moment" and bravely "take responsibility". Shou Sui Xinji was impassioned in his mouth, but he scolded more than in his heart - Lao Tzu has not eaten meat for a few days, and even his wife has not yet had anyone to go to caesarean section.

These three envoys with their own ghosts and demons were speechless in surprise when they followed the messenger to the Immortal Island, although they knew that Da Ming was a behemoth since they were children, and they had constantly reminded themselves that Da Ming's strength was unfathomable, but when they saw that there were a large number of ironclad soldiers on Immortal Island, which was only so small, the spirit of the three of them was finally on the verge of collapse.

As for why the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Shaobao, is here? This is easy to explain. The crown prince Shaobao is on the front line directing the battle against the barbarians. After these three guys saw the rows of ironclad soldiers on Immortal Island, they had a thought, that is, they must not provoke Da Ming, so that she would be unhappy in the slightest.

The number of people who followed the Shinyoshi rose to 200 stones, but this ungrateful thing still did not have the slightest consciousness of dedicating himself to the disembowelment of Changzhou. As soon as he saw Huangshi, he lay on the ground, took the responsibility for the Changzhou domain, and planned to accept all the other party's demands.

Huangshi didn't want to make any excessive requests, and the relationship between the southwestern feudal domains and the shogunate was to look at each other unlucky, but in any case, there was always a Tokugawa shogunate behind Choshu. No matter what the quality is, a shogunate that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, including tens of thousands of professional soldiers, is still not to be underestimated, and it is not something that the current Huangshi can deal with.

Nobuyoshi soon noticed that Huangshi didn't seem to be entirely straightforward, so he quickly explained Choshu's actions and succeeded in shifting the blame to the Tokugawa shogunate. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, and Huang Shi could continue to buy and sell his copper coins, but all the copper coins would be sold to the Choshu Domain, and the Choshu Domain would sell them through its own channels. After reaching this consensus, Mamoru Shinyoshi couldn't help but be secretly happy, and it seemed that he could go back alive. And in this way, you can have a strategic partnership with Daming, and the Changzhou Domain will probably be very satisfied, at least it will not kill itself to vent its hatred.

Another condition put forward by Huang Shi was to proselytize, and he asked the Choshu Domain to allow the Patriotic Catholic Church to enter Choshu. This mention made Mamoru Nobuyoshi think about it for a long time, and finally proposed that in order to take care of the face of the shogunate, the church had to be renamed U - for example, "Emperor Chung Ai Choshu Church". Shousui Nobuyoshi felt that Huangshi's request was just an additional condition for a believer, and it was not a big deal, and in order to make Huangshi happy, he was willing to be the first Japanese to join this church. When Huang Shi told him that he had a parishioner named Kazuo Kuroshima, Hou Shou followed Shinyoshi, and he still seemed a little regretful.

And in Huangshi's abacus, he needs a breakthrough to invade Japan. Although at this time, Japan's national consciousness and national consciousness were far from awakening, and it was not stimulated by the Netherlands in history. But now it's hard to say that we have to add another Yellowstone. Religion is undoubtedly something that can produce a deep sense of identity, and it is relatively easy to infiltrate a feudal country with a sense of religious identity.

The beginning of June in the fifth year of the Apocalypse. On the ship that followed Nobuyoshi back to Japan, there were two more loyal and patriotic Catholic priests. While the boat was filling up water in the Kuhara area, the two priests prayed reverently on the pier, and a Japanese peasant who looked to be only five or six years old also rowed ten yu with them, kneeling beside the two priests, and prayed in Japanese in a childlike voice.

"This kid is so funny," a priest from Immortal Island looked at the child's clear big eyes, and couldn't help but take out two small steamed buns and stuff them for him, while stroking the child's head, he asked Shousui Shinji next to him, "What is the name of this child?"

Shousui Nobuyoshi looked at the peasant boy and sneered, "The farmer's son has no surname. "Many samurai in Japan would rather starve to death than become farmers because Japanese farmers do not have surnames. Once a down-and-out samurai became a peasant, it meant that the family crest was cut off.

The child was munching on steamed buns, and Shou Sui Xinji half-squatted and asked, "What's your child's name?"

The child's eyes widened and he replied, "I have a surname." ”

"Oh, at such a young age, I had the ambition to be a samurai. Terrific. Shou Sui Shinji laughed out loud: "What is the surname you give yourself as an ambitious child?"

The boy didn't have any more explanations. In a crisp child's voice, he proudly said, "My name is Shiro Amakusa and Sada." ”

......

In the same month, Sun Chengzong took the stage to pay respects at Shanhaiguan. He personally invited Shang Fang's sword for Ma Shilong, and also promoted Ma Shilong to the right to supervise and control the general soldiers in Guanning. In this time and space, Ma Shilong's future that was affected by Huangshi finally returned to the original point because of Huangshi's shirk, but it was a little later.

Ma Shilong, who was grateful, solemnly took over Shang Fang's sword. Sun Chengzong hugged his hands three times in front of everyone on the platform: "The Eastern Affairs will be entrusted to Ma Shuai, and the headquarters will raise grain for Ma Shuai, and he will never interfere in specific military affairs." ”

Ma Shilong knelt down on one knee and swore to the sky: "Lord Sun rest assured." The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the country and the emperor, and he will definitely wipe out Jiannu in one fell swoop!"

According to Ma Shilong's plan, his henchman Lu Zhijia would form a mobile force, which would consist of a battalion of chariots and artillery and a battalion of iron cavalry. In addition, two water battalions will be responsible for the transportation work, and the entire mobile unit will have 5,000 soldiers, 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, 3,000 chariots, 3,000 horses, 3,400 pack horses, and 1,400 ships, and will be equipped with 100 cannons, including two Hongyi cannons and 3,000 guns of various types. Once the defense of the Houjin army was weak, Ma Shilong would use this powerful mobile force to launch a thunderous attack to open the gap, and then he would personally urge the Guanning army in the rear to follow up, in order to deal a heavy blow to the Houjin army.

Ma Shilong also personally questioned Li Chengxian, the fierce general recommended by Lu Zhijia, and he was also very satisfied with this general. Li Chengxian's art of war and strategy are like a stream, and the work of horses and horses is also quite successful. Ma Shilong immediately promoted him to Guan Ning's general, and Lu Zhijia personally awarded the Pioneer Seal to Li Chengxian.

"Jin Guan, Yao and Xian are in charge of the Liangshui Battalion, Li Chengxian is in charge of the car and artillery battalion, Zhou Shoulian leads the iron cavalry battalion ......" Lu Zhijia deployed a task with great interest. Guan Ning's water camp mission is similar to that of Changsheng Island, which is responsible for transporting sick people, weapons, crossing rivers, and transporting food and wounded. Lu Zhijia pointed over one by one, repeating everyone's responsibilities again, and the generals in the battalion also agreed.

After the military deployment, Lu Zhijia did not forget to contact and liaise with feelings, after all, fighting a war is a matter of life: "Brothers, come to me tonight to get together." ”

Several generals applauded again and shouted: "Lord Lu's wine is naturally going to beg for a drink." ”

When the banquet was drunk until his eyes were red and his ears were hot, Lu Zhijia also called out a singer to accompany him. He himself greeted the guests vigorously, for fear of snubbing the subordinate. Each of these subordinates held military power, which was not only the life guarantee of Talu Zhijia, but also the source of strength for meritorious service.

"Brother Lu, little brother heard that Mr. Ma doesn't look down on us very much. Zhou Shoulian took advantage of the wine to bring up a very sensitive topic, which made Lu Zhijia glared in his heart.

"How can there be such a thing, haha, Brother Zhou laughed. Lu Zhijia pretended to play chicly haha. This Ma Shilong's ancestor is Ningxia Weijiangmen, although Ma Shilong has been speaking in the tone of Liaoxi over the years, and he himself is destined to stay in Liaoxi for a long time, but there are still many Liaoxi people who regard Ma Shilong as an outsider and still scold him behind his back, Lu Zhijia is a traitor. Lu Zhijia was very kind to Ma Shilong, and he had long decided that Ma Shilong was the commander he followed in this life: "Brothers, I, Lu Zhijia, can pat my chest and say that Ma Shuai is thinking about us from the bottom of my heart." ”

Li Chengxian on the side also felt that Ma Shilong was a very good person, and he agreed with a loud voice: "Yes, Ma Shuai's art of war is very good, but the most important thing is that he is generous." I can trust Ma Shuai, and this life will be handed over to Ma Shuai......"

"That's it, that's good, that's good. Zhou Shoulian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly toasted Lu Zhijia with a glass of wine: "Brother Na Lu wants to give our brother a few more kind words." ”

"Definitely, definitely. Lu Zhijia laughed and toasted Zhou Shoulian with a glass of golden crown wine, and at this time, Lu Zhijia drank it all again......

After leaving Lu Zhijia's camp, Zhou Shoulian immediately removed the smile on his face. He asked Jin Guan and Yao Youxian coldly, "What do you think?"

Jin Guan snorted coldly: "Lu Zhijia, this dog-legged man, I said he was a traitor, and you still don't believe it." ”

"Who doesn't believe it?" Yao Youxian retorted with a blushing face and a thick neck: "It's just that Nalu Zhijia is from Liaoxi after all. We have both prosperity and loss. If you really want Ma Shilong to ride on our heads this time, no one will be able to get any good. Why doesn't he understand such a simple reason?"

"He doesn't want to understand at all, hmph, today you still want to persuade him, but he also wants to persuade you. Haha, I was really going to laugh to death at that time. The Golden Crown burst out laughing as he spoke.

"Shhhhhh Zhou Shoulian made a silent gesture at the golden crown, and Li Chengxian's voice came from afar, and the man was drunk and took his leave: "Ma Shilong threw up the broken cake of one of his generals, and this dog immediately forgot his ancestors." ”

At the beginning of June of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Changsheng Island.

The first batch of soldiers who went to Japan had returned, and Huangshi gave Yang Zhiyuan an order to retreat back to China as quickly as possible after showing off his strength. He, Huangshi, is a complete paper tiger, and he has to rely on the power of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. If the Japanese insist on resisting, then he can only use it as a training army, but at the moment it seems to be working well.

Huang Shi recently received a letter from Sun Chengzong, which was very vague, but it was clear that Sun Chengzong was interested in Liaodong. Although Huang Shi didn't understand why Sun Chengzong refused to say it explicitly, he believed that Sun Chengzong must have a reason to do so. According to Huangshi's judgment, Sun Chengzong's goal should be in the area from the Sancha River to Niangniang Palace. The Guan Ning army is conceited, the world's strong soldiers, war horses, and firearms are also quite abundant, Ma Shilong, a foreign general, seeing so many soldiers and horses, will definitely go straight to the trouble of the Houjin army. Besides, he, Ma Shilong, a foreign general, also needs a reasonable military exploit if he wants to gain a foothold in Liaoxi. Otherwise, Sun Chengzong will have to leave one day sooner or later.

Thinking of Ma Shilong's current situation, Huang Shi also had a faint sense of sympathy in his heart. Because it reminded him of the hardships he had when he first arrived in Dongjiang. Huang Shi read Sun Chengzong's letter again, savoring the meaning of it -- Master Sun asked me to take the initiative to help Ma Shuai, right? But I was afraid of hurting Ma Shuai's self-esteem...... Well, look at the tone and the way the letter is written. Maybe it has hurt Ma Shuai's self-esteem. Alas, what should I do?

Huangshi's troubles did not only come from western Liaoning, but two days before receiving Sun Chengzong's letter, there was also a secret letter from the headquarters of Dongjiang, and one of Geng Zhongming's henchmen came to southern Liaoning with the ship, and he brought Geng Zhongming's kindness with him.

Geng Zhongming told Huangshi in that secret letter: Chen Jisheng has been trying to attack recently, so he sent two letters to Mao Wenlong. Although both letters were rejected by Mao Wenlong, the tone of Mao Wenlong's second letter also seemed a little loose, and Chen Jisheng was currently writing the third letter. Geng Zhongming, as a friend and a close friend of Kong Youde, reminded Huangshi not to be overshadowed by Chen Jisheng. At the end of the letter, he also said two sentences seemingly casually, saying that the military attachés of the Dongjiang foreign department admired Huangshi very much, and felt that he was very proud of the foreign generals.

What did Mao Wenlong's godsons say about foreign generals...... Huang Shi's first feeling was ridiculous, but when he calmed down, he pondered and felt a burst of ecstasy, because this showed that his influence was great enough, and at least a considerable number of Dongjiang officers were watching and regarded him as Mao Wenlong's successor. For example, this Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have already bet on him Huangshi.

Huang Shi looked at the map for a long time, but what flowed in front of him was Sun Chengzong's silver head, and what echoed in his ears was the stories he had heard recently, the tragic stories that were born on the land of Liaodong.

-- As long as I attack Fuzhou before Ma Shilong, I should be able to attract more attention from Houjin, and this should help Ma Shilong, right? A large-scale siege of Fuzhou can also cast another weight in the minds of the Dongjiang wait-and-see faction...... If the sky is destined for me to be Qi Jiguang's second, then I have no choice but to be satisfied with the marquis.
