Chapter 156: The Vulnerable Wa Kingdom
Knowing that it was Daming's fleet, he dared to make money and took the initiative to attack and kill, which didn't take Daming seriously at all.
There is a saying called the lord humiliating the minister's death, although Chen Qiyu and the others did not have such a high consciousness, but Daming was so despised by these Japanese slaves, which still filled the hearts of several people with anger.
"Governor, the lower officials are going to cut down the messenger of the Japanese slaves!"
Huang Degong pressed his hand on the sword, and directly wanted to slaughter the envoy sent by the Wa State to ask for an armistice, and then directly attacked the Wa State.
It's just a small country, and it dares to despise the Ming Dynasty so much, and if you don't destroy them, Huang Degong can't be calm.
"Don't rush ......"
Chen Qiyu suppressed the anger in his heart, stopped Huang Degong, and then said: "Seeking a country is different from seeking a city, you should plan it slowly, and you can't be in a hurry." ”
Although Chen Qiyu is now eager to directly destroy the Wa Kingdom, he knows that this matter cannot be rushed.
Even if they want to fight, there is no need to kill their messenger, you must first let them know why Da Ming beat him, and he wants to be famous.
But the fight must be beaten, and now these Japanese slaves despise the Ming Dynasty so much, no matter what Chen Qiyu wants, he must first beat the Japanese slaves.
"Go, bring that slave messenger here."
With Chen Qiyu summoning him, the Japanese slave envoy was quickly brought up.
At this time, the heart of this Japanese slave messenger was filled with fear.
To be honest, because of the fact that the Japanese State was closed to the outside world, they didn't know much about the outside information at all, and the Ming Dynasty turned around too quickly, so their understanding of the Ming Dynasty was only limited to two years ago.
In their opinion, the current Daming Dynasty has sunset, not only internal and external troubles, but also being bullied by a small clan in the north of Daming, there is nothing to worry about at all.
In addition, their Wa Kingdom has been closed to the country, except for Zheng Zhilong, who is crisscrossing the sea, the rest of the Ming forces cannot threaten them at all.
Therefore, after learning that this fleet had nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong, those Japanese generals saw that these Ming people had gone ashore and dozens of people dared to bring so much wealth, and they were instantly moved.
After all, their people didn't go out, even after robbing this treasure, it would be impossible for Da Ming to do anything to them.
After all, the Ming Dynasty can't manage their own affairs, how can they have the kung fu to manage overseas affairs, even if they can manage it, they can't directly come to their country to fight.
So this group of people robbed without any psychological burden, but I didn't expect the combat power of the Ming officers and soldiers to be so strong, only a few dozen people, they could retreat under the ambush of hundreds of people, and they also killed hundreds of people.
The fierce combat power of the Ming official army made the Japanese slaves a little worried, but before they could finish worrying, the revenge of the Ming Dynasty came, and the disaster befell them in an instant.
Countless artillery pieces of the Ming Dynasty fired in unison, and in just half a day's effort, they sank all the ships of their Japanese country.
And after sinking them, the Ming Dynasty did not mean to stop, and directly began to bomb the port of Nagasaki, just one day's effort, the Japanese lost thousands of people, and countless buildings were destroyed.
Such a large loss instantly made the defenders of Nagasaki a little frightened, so they hurriedly raised the banner of surrender, and then sent an envoy to ask for an armistice.
"Japan's vassals have seen the angels of Shangbang."
Closing the position Balang Han's words were very smooth, his posture at this time was very low, and he knelt down directly for Chen Qiyu after meeting.
Although the Wa State only served as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between the two countries was not very good for the rest of the time, this did not prevent him from calling the Ming Dynasty a superior state.
After all, they have already been beaten, and it is obvious that they can't beat Da Ming, so let's obediently bow our heads and admit it first, and then talk about it.
"Heh, do you still know that Daming is Shangbang?"
Chen Qiyu sneered, and then said, "You are so bold in attacking and killing the envoys of the upper state. ”
Listening to Chen Qiyu's somewhat unkind tone, Ping Hachiro had already expected it in his heart, so he hurriedly explained: "Angel Rongyu, this is a misunderstanding!" ”
"Over the years in Japan, there have often been pirates who come to Japan to plunder the banner of Shangbang and pretend to be Shangbang."
"We mistook the angel for a thief, so we will be disrespectful to the angel, and I hope that the angel can be Haihan, and we have no intention of offending the state."
Looking at the groveling Ping Hachilang, Chen Qiyu not only did not have the slightest pity in his heart, but there was a trace of coldness.
After discovering that Qi Wen and them were carrying gold, silver and jewelry, they did not hesitate to come up with the idea of leaving people and treasures behind.
As a result, when he found out that the Daming team was strong and they were not opponents, they could directly and completely lose their dignity without hesitation, and they were humble to this extent.
In Chen Qiyu's opinion, this kind of person is like a poisonous snake, which cannot be tamed at all, unless you completely kill them, otherwise when you are weak, he will bite you hard sooner or later.
It seems that the means of dealing with the Japanese state will be a little more ruthless.
Chen Qiyu instantly adjusted his original plan in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said in a surging voice: "My Ming mission came from afar with sincerity, but you killed dozens of brave soldiers for no reason. ”
"This matter is not something that you can solve with a misunderstanding, this is a declaration of war against my Daming."
"Go back and tell your emperor that the war will never stop until he gives us a satisfactory explanation!"
Hearing Chen Qiyu's words, Ping Hachilang and Qi Wen were stunned.
Among them, Hachiro was frightened, and Qi Wen simply didn't think about it, they just injured more than a dozen brothers, although the injury was a bit serious, but it was obvious that it could be rescued, how did it become dozens of dead?
However, he knew that this was not the time for him to interject, so although he was a little confused in his heart, Chen Qiyu said that dozens of them had died, that is, dozens of them, it was really not okay for them to pretend to be dead.
"The angels are angry, the angels are angry!
! ”
Ping Position Hachiro's face turned white with fright, he originally thought that Da Ming would be fooled, in the name of the Heavenly Kingdom, flatter, and then try to get this matter to the lake.
If it doesn't work, then you can only make some blood, find a way to compensate Da Ming, and end the matter.
But he never expected that this was not yet the stage of negotiating compensation, and Da Ming actually flipped the table directly and was going to fight with them.
With the kind of firepower of the Ming Dynasty, the entire port of Nagasaki was razed to the ground in one day, how could this battle be fought? How did the fight start, how many people would they have to die to block this artillery.
And the most important thing is that if Tokugawa Iemitsu knows that the reason why the Ming Dynasty fought Japan was because they wanted to rob the Ming Dynasty's mission, then Tokugawa Iemitsu wouldn't have cut them inch by inch.
"My country is willing to give compensation to appease those soldiers who died in battle, and I hope that the angels can look at the relationship between the two countries, and don't start a war lightly."
"Reparations? My Ming Dynasty has not yet fallen to the share of exchanging the lives of soldiers for compensation. ”
Chen Qiyu looked at Ping Cang Hachilang, and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "As for the relationship between your Japanese country and our Ming Dynasty, do you want to say that your Japanese people have harassed my Ming border for more than two hundred years?" ”
"Since the official didn't bother to mention this matter, since you brought it up, it's just right, let's settle the new accounts and old accounts together."
"The angel is angry, and he has ...... words"
When he heard Chen Qiyu say this, he instantly understood that he had said the wrong thing, and he suddenly felt extremely remorseful in his heart, so he wanted to open his mouth to make amends.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Qiyu, "Okay, there's no need to say any more." ”
"I, as a state of etiquette, don't bother to kill envoys like you, so go back and tell your emperor what my official wants."
After saying this, Chen Qiyu didn't bother to pay attention to the closing of Hachiro, and directly asked people to throw him back on his boat, and not long after he landed at Nagasaki Port, Chen Qiyu directly launched an offensive.
The artillery bombarded again for another day, and after the defenders on Nagasaki had fled, Chen Qiyu stopped the bombardment and let Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong send people to land instead.
He was originally ordered to fight the idea of the Japanese Kingdom, and now that he has a sufficient reason, he will naturally not be relentless in the slightest.
After all, on this expedition, he brought a full 50,000 people with the army alone, and if he didn't attack the Japanese country, could he bring people to the sea to see the scenery.
Since it was not clear what the situation was now, for the sake of prudence, he only sent 20,000 people to land at the beginning.
However, there were not many Japanese troops, and the Ming Dynasty's rifles could completely crush the Japanese army, so after the landing, the 20,000 people defeated the Japanese garrison army, and then directly occupied the entire Nagasaki port.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
After the 20,000 people gained a firm foothold, Chen Qiyu was no longer polite, and the remaining 30,000 troops were also sent out, leaving only more than 10,000 sailors to guard on the warships, which was regarded as a complete capture of Nagasaki Port.
So far, there are only two ports in the entire Japanese country, and only one is left.
After taking the port of Nagasaki, Chen Qiyu let the army rest for a day, and then directly moved the troops, but in less than a month, the entire Kyushu Island fell into the hands of the Ming army.
During this period, it was not that there was no resistance from the Japanese army, but under the gap in weapons and strength, the Japanese army was simply shattered at the first touch, and it was unable to form effective resistance at all.
In terms of means, Chen Qiyu is even more ruthless than Sun Chuanting, because Sun Chuanting has the entire Ming Dynasty as a backup, so he just slaughtered the city and transferred young people from the Jiannu people to build fortifications.
But Chen Qiyu is different, he is in the Wa State far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is extremely difficult for the Ming Dynasty to support him, so he started the idea of the local people of the Wa State.
Everywhere he went, he directly killed the local nobles, and then liberated the lowest civilians and slaves, and gave them the captured weapons of the Japanese state, so that they could act as the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty.
And Chen Qiyu also used the looted money as bait, as long as these Japanese people can make military achievements, they will be rewarded.
If they had enough military merits, they could even earn a reward that they had never earned in their previous lives.
Under the temptation of huge wealth, these vanguard troops of the Japanese State who were incorporated by Chen Qiyu rushed forward with red eyes every time they fought, and their degree of forgetting life and death made the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty a little embarrassed.
They even wondered if there was some kind of enmity between these Japanese people, and how could they be so ruthless if they didn't move.
