Chapter Ninety-Nine
What made Maori Huiyuan's eyes fall off was that the Ming warship and his own warship actually put on a welcoming posture. Escorted those ships into the harbor!
When he saw the people coming down from the boat, Maori Teruyuan was even more confused.
North Korean!
When he saw Hong Yihan and Wu Daji, Li Xiao was also very surprised. I don't understand, is there no military in North Korea? Why did you let Wu Daji, an old bastard, lead the troops?
But it's right to think about it, North Korea is not much different from Daming. is all to govern the military with literature, and the Jiliao Inspector is not also Wang Zaijin's sleek idiot.
"Huh! General Lee is really powerful, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is famous in the Japanese country, has been defeated by you. After receiving your letter, my king was busy reorganizing his army. This time, I brought 30,000 of North Korea's elite land and water to help in the war. The king of my family said that the royal treasures that were stolen during the Japanese rebellion must be returned to North Korea. Otherwise, the DPRK vows not to quit. ”
Wu Daji pointed to the warships that were entering the port one after another in the distance, and it seemed that he said that there were 30,000 people, and it was definitely not an imaginary number.
Li Xiao scratched his head, and when he wrote to Li Kun, it was only a month ago. I didn't expect Li Liang to be so efficient, and he was stunned to gather an army of 30,000 in a month.
Wu Daji said that he was an elite soldier, and Li Xiao didn't believe a single punctuation mark. He knew very well the quality of the North Korean soldiers. After being in Pyongyang for so long, I have long seen through the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of these guys. If you really face Tokugawa Ieyasu's army, I'm afraid that if the enemy army charges, all of them will run away.
However, looking at the North Korean soldiers who have disembarked, all of them are in good spirits.
For many years, it was the Japanese invasion of Korea. North Korea has never invaded the Wa Kingdom, and these little guys have been educated in bitter hatred since childhood. For the Wa Kingdom, it is hatred from the top of the brain to the toes.
When I got off the boat, I wanted to cut two knives when I saw the Japanese people, and I would breathe a sigh of relief for my ancestors.
Fortunately, Li Xiu sent people to maintain order at the dock, so that a tragedy would not occur.
"Lord Wu, you can control those soldiers of yours. Since it's an army, it's better to talk about some rules. They are not allowed to harass the Japanese people here, rape ** women, rob, set fires, and kill people, all of whom will be killed. You have to make this clear to them, otherwise don't blame me for being black. ”
This point must be made clear, this Nagato is the fief of Maori Terumoto. If you want to do evil, you will also go to plague Tokugawa Ieyasu's fiefdom.
Jiang Zuo Xinyouemon listened to Li Xiao's words and immediately bowed gratefully.
It's a good thing that 30,000 reinforcements come at once, but if these 30,000 people really cause trouble in Nagato, that small Nagato is really not suitable for human habitation.
Jiang Zuo Shinyouemon knows too well how those hateful eyes of North Koreans came from.
Tokugawa Ieyasu had been camped ten miles away, and after seeing a lot of reinforcements coming down from Nagato Port. The big battalion retreated back ten miles again, completely out of the confines of Nagato Province.
It was completely dark, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's big tent was completed.
At night, the sea breeze was a little cool, and a carbon fire was lit in the middle of the big tent. Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the reed mat in the middle, and on either side sat the Daming, as well as the more talkative retainers of the Tokugawa family.
"It has been established that the army that arrived this afternoon is the North Korean army. There are more than 20,000 people and counting. Kato Yoshiaki said worriedly.
The army of North Korea has already appeared on the battlefield, if the Ming Dynasty also sends troops. The 2,000 Ming army has already made the Japanese people turn on their backs, if there are tens of thousands. It was definitely a nightmare for the Wa Kingdom, or the Tokugawa family.
There are no eggs under the nest, and the Ming who once supported Tokugawa Ieyasu is also uneasy. I don't know if the Maori family will liquidate itself after returning to power.
The meeting was very dull, and no one spoke after Kato Yoshiaki finished speaking. Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't speak, and the firelight shone on his face. The constantly beating flames made his expression unusually weird.
Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly said: "Kato-kun is dying, is the general going to comfort him." ”
"Hmm!" Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up, ignoring the overwhelmed daimyo below. Take your retainers and go to the back camp to see Kato Kiyomasa.
Kiyomasa Kato was already dying, and his lower body was covered with a heavy quilt. There are constantly girls who use their body temperature to warm his naked upper body. The two walnut-sized wounds on his chest had turned black, and the surrounding areas had swollen into balls of flesh.
Someone whispered something in his ear, and Kato Kiyomasa opened his eyes with difficulty. His head didn't move, and his eyes rolled to glance at Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"I'm finished!" A sentence came out of his hoarse throat, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's tears instantly wanted to open the floodgates.
I can't forget the battle of Sekigahara, it was he who stood firmly by his side. As a member of the Seven Guns of Shidake, Kiyomasa Kato used his prestige to help Tokugawa Ieyasu achieve the final victory. When everyone hesitated because of the strength of the Western Army, Kato Kiyomasa never wavered.
In that dark battle, Kato Kiyomasa rushed to the front.
I can't forget that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced himself the most intensely, it was Kato Kiyomasa who helped him through one difficulty after another. No matter what kind of danger he encountered, Kato Kiyomasa was always his most loyal companion. How many times I was caught in death, how many times I escaped death. How many times have high-ranking officials and beauties been seduced, Kiyomasa Kato has never thought of betrayal!
Now, this mentor and friend is leaving.
"Kato-kun! Say whatever you want, and I can do what I can. "I held Kato Kiyomasa's hand, the hands that were once so warm and powerful. Now it's cold and weak!
"Don't fight any more, we don't have a chance of winning." Tokugawa Ieyasu clearly felt that Kato Kiyomasa's hand shook strongly.
"I know!" Nodding slightly, tears dripping on the back of his hand, very cold.
"I want to die like a samurai, help me up, and you will be my intermediary." Kato Kiyomasa's eyes were full of begging.
"Good!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu personally helped Kato Kiyomasa, such a strong samurai, now so weak that he can't even sit up on his own.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kato Yoshiaki were on either side, with Shigeharu Takenaka supporting behind him. Yasuharu Wakisaka, Tengtang Takatora, Konishi Nagamasa, Fukushima Masanori, Hirano Nagatai ......! They all knelt down in front of Kato Kiyomasa.
Kato Kiyomasa couldn't hold the knife at all, and his trembling hands couldn't stab him in the stomach after trying several times. Tokugawa Ieyasu held a katana in his hand, and large tears flowed down his cheeks.
Kato Yoshiaki took Kato Kiyomasa's hand and stabbed it in. Kato's face was distorted with pain, and Kato Yoshiaki let go of his hand. Kato Kiyomasa's hand was clenched tightly, and blood flowed down the wound.
There is very little, very little blood.
"Yike......!" Tokugawa Ieyasu's katana cut off Kato Kiyomasa's head in an instant.
Everyone hung their heads at the corpse of Kiyomasa Kato, who had already washed away the shame of defeat with his own blood. Now, this is a respected samurai.
The head looked at the dark sky, and the eyes of a dead fish were round. A meteor in the sky streaked across the sky, bursting into brilliant brilliance in the black night, and then disappearing silently.
The greatest samurai of the Sengoku period went!
