After a few days, the warships of the Daming Navy Division began to land on the island of Japan to meet him, the king Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and the Japanese king who was preparing to go to sea to send him to the sea capital.

It is rumored that three days ago, there was a riot in Kyoto, but it was quickly suppressed by bullets, and the emperor's shrine was officially related, and the last Wa King slowly came out of the 'imperial road' paved with blue bricks in a gorgeous carriage under the escort of the Ming army, and the people beside the road bent their knees and wept, and a drizzle fell in the sky, and the raindrops fell on the faces of samurai, farmers, and merchants, mixed with tears and slid down together.

…

Immediately afterwards, the four great feudal clans of Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa, and Hizen, located in Kyushu and Shikoku Island, announced the fall of the curtain, and the 50,000 fallen army quickly seized the two major islands in the southwest and prepared ships to land on the main island.

The main island of Japan is also up and down, and even some of the genealogy daimyo who originally supported the Tokugawa family also rose up, declared a rebellion, and the San'in clan led by the strong clan of the spectrum of five thousand troops rushed to Edo, a protracted civil war is imminent, at this moment Tokugawa Tsunayoshi gathered the shogunate army, and stretched out his hand to the Ming Dynasty, and now he is discredited in Japan, and even some of his cronies and subordinates dare not trust, and the only hope is pinned on the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Guoxuan soon received an order from the emperor to quell the rebellion, and sent the naval division to the coast of Kyushu and Shikoku to carry out a brutal and inhumane bombardment of the rebel ships that dared to cross the sea and go north to the main island. At this time, the warships of the Ming Dynasty began to concentrate on the attack on the Satsuma Domain, which is located at the western end of Kyushu Island, the closest to the Ryukyus, and is one of the largest feudal towns among the rebels.

Because the Tokugawa shogunate had issued a ban on "one country and one city", in order to prevent the daimyo from rebelling, each feudal town was allowed to keep only one city, and the rest were all demolished, so the only Satsuma Castle became the lifeblood of Shimazu Munenobu, after a day and night of rapid travel, finally rushed into the city before the Ming army, the frightened Shimazu Munenobu had not yet taken a breath, and the Ming army's sailors and marines had come to the city.

Hundreds of artillery pieces were placed under Satsuma City, tens of thousands of Ming troops lined up in a queue, Shimazu Sonobu on the city was hesitating whether to go out of the city to meet the attack, a burst of artillery roar had sounded, and it lasted until noon, an hour of effort, the entire western wall of Satsuma City had completely collapsed, and countless people were killed and injured.

A farmer outside the city began to enter the city with Liu Guoxuan's letterhead, and this letter of persuasion was very strong, either all the resisters and their families were killed, or they surrendered, and there was no choice.

"Bastard!" The furious Shimazu Munenobu drew his katana and cut the farmer who delivered the letter into two pieces, Liu Guoxuan was insulting him, and he had to fight back to let the Ming army, who did not know the height of the sky, see the strength of the Satsuma samurai.

In the afternoon, Liu Guoxuan, who had not received the news of surrender, began to attack the city, and the artillery that had just cooled was set up again, ready to fire a few rounds as cover, and then sweep with musketeers. At this time, Japanese samurai appeared at the collapsed city wall, and they frantically charged the Ming army with samurai swords, and behind them were Satsuma soldiers holding a small flag embroidered with the Shimazu family crest behind them.

Liu Guoxuan was stunned by the actions of this group of crazy people. Didn't you have enough of the artillery fire in the morning? Quasi-bombardment. The infantry was changed from an offensive formation to a defensive formation. With the sound of artillery fired. Countless samurai ronin and satsuma soldiers were blown to the ground. But more people who were not afraid of death still frantically brandished their katanas and charged forward. I don't care that I'm flesh and blood.

Immediately after that, the sound of rows of firearms rang out one after another. One after another, the 'targets' fell to the ground with a bang. But behind them. More people continued to rush forward. This kind of desperate play hit the muzzle of the gun. Let the Ming army be addicted.

Liu Guoxuan had already frowned. It's a battle against a madman. If it weren't for the elite firearms of the Ming army. I'm afraid it is not yet known who will die in this battle. He waved his hand. Behind him, a herald blew his horn. The morale of the Ming army was great. The real weapon of mass destruction is to be used on the battlefield.

Under the pull of the carriage. A brand new gun was pulled behind the gun. The muzzle of the artillery ground is extremely long. The caliber also appears to be a little smaller. Immediately after that, the soldiers on the ground of the artillery began to calibrate. And the tail ground valve was opened. Load a dozen pounds of artillery shells.

"Boom...

The shells instantly landed in the Satsuma charging formation. Then there was a loud explosion. Flying sand and rocks. The severed arm and stump flew away quickly within a radius of 100 meters. The outer earth qi waves bounced the ground ronin warriors who rushed up a few steps away.

Without waiting for the second shell to be loaded, the Satsuma samurai and soldiers began

, they let out a whoow cry from their mouths, but unfortunately the Ming soldiers couldn't understand it

The Satsuma who retreated to the city did not hold on, but raised the flag of surrender.

Liu Guoxuan was confused, it was impossible, he rushed forward just now, how could he surrender with a shell, although the new breech artillery was amazingly powerful, but Liu Guoxuan really couldn't believe that this group of barbarians who had just beaten chicken blood obeyed all of a sudden, well, there must be deception in this, and it is not possible to fall into the way of the Japanese people.

Soon, Liu Guoxuan found that the surrender of the Satsuma people was very sincere, and they laid down their weapons and walked out of the collapsed city wall one by one, without the slightest hostility.

Liu Guoxuan, who was very incomprehensible, had to find a samurai who could speak Chinese to question, this kind of incredible thing is simply a fantasy, if you don't ask clearly, you won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

"General, our master was killed by artillery, and it was that powerful cannonball." The samurai said, pointing to the huge crater in the distance, and his face was very calm.

"Since the head of the family was killed, you don't want to seek revenge, but why did you suddenly surrender?"

"No, according to the rules of the samurai, once the head of the family dies in battle, all the samurai must be loyal to the victor, that is, you, the general, you are now our head of the family." The samurai was actually full of respect for Liu Guoxuan, and he called the head of the family very smoothly.

Liu Guoxuan was completely dizzy, what kind of rule is this, you can't agree to this matter at will, there are not a thousand warriors in the city, but hundreds of them, and they go to their masters by themselves, isn't it to raise private soldiers? No, you have to write a note to the emperor to show your heart.

After the fall of the Satsuma clan in one day, it immediately caused uneasiness among the Kyushu domains, which was one of the strongest feudal domains, and was swept away by the same number of Ming troops in one day, and it is said that the army had very powerful artillery, and one cannon was enough to destroy the entire city.

The daimyo of each clan regretted it, but the spirit of the samurai could not be lost, how could they surrender easily, it had only been a few days since they started the rebellion, and they gave in like this, and the daimyo of each clan probably had to commit suicide by disembowelment in shame.

The daimyo of the Kyushu feudal clans gathered 19,000 allied forces of samurai, feudal soldiers, and even farmers and began to advance towards Satsuma, vowing to drive the Ming army into the sea.

Liu Guoxuan was naturally not afraid of these so-called coalition forces, and ordered the Ming army to rest on the spot in Satsuma City, and raised enough spirit to fight to the death with the coalition army outside Satsuma City.

Liu Guoxuan is not in a hurry, but those warriors who regard Liu Guoxuan as the head of the family are in a hurry, they do not forget to care about the success or failure of the Lord in the temporary prisoner of war camp, and constantly ask the Ming soldiers who are guarding to tell Liu Guoxuan that he must be careful, there are many birds and soldiers in a certain domain, and the warriors of a certain domain are powerful, and there are one hundred and twenty war horses in a certain domain... Keep the head of the house safe.

Liu Guoxuan didn't dare to let them protect him, but he was afraid that they would defect to the battle, but these kind advice moved Liu Guoxuan to some extent, and ordered the prisoner of war camp to give them more food, from one bowl of gruel a day to two bowls of gruel a day per person now.

The day of the decisive battle has come in a blink of an eye, and the coalition forces that lined up the formation will besiege Satsuma City like an iron bucket, looking at the collapsed city wall is both excited and afraid, excited that they don't have to have a clear siege of the city, the Ming army has helped blow up the city wall, afraid that the artillery of the Ming army is so strong, the 'majestic and majestic' Satsuma city wall has been blown up like this, if they rush over these flesh and blood...

Now that the coalition forces are here, the coalition forces immediately launched an offensive, and the flow of people frantically charged towards Satsuma City like ants, and countless shouts drowned out everything...

The Ming army relied on the uncollapsed city wall and began to counterattack, and rows of firearms were filled with gunpowder smoke and shot lead, and the rumbling of artillery did not stop.

Until nightfall, the coalition forces did not enter the city even a single step, leaving behind countless broken arm wreckage and bloodstained katana, leaving their own blood.

The siege continued on the second day, and the morale of the coalition forces did not weaken for this, and in the face of death, it was the time when the spirit of bushido shone brightly, so it was another offensive like a tide, and indeed an offensive like a tide, each time it came like a tide, and it receded like a tide, and it came and went quickly.

Liu Guoxuan finally ran out of patience, and after noon, the Ming soldiers had a full meal, and began to set up a long queue outside the city under the cover of artillery.

The coalition army was overjoyed, and it was another fierce charge, and the Ming army continued to step forward, and constantly shot out of the lead on their knees, and killed a bloody road.

Eventually, the chaotic coalition forces under the command of the daimyo collapsed, and several daimyo returned to their domains without greeting, leaving a few daimyo scolding mothers to support the Ming army's counterattack.
