"Enemy attack?"

Although Yan Yi, as the guard of the Iwami Silver Mine, shoulders the responsibility of guarding the silver mine, he never thought that anyone would dare to attack the Iwami Silver Mine.

Therefore, when the gong of the tower sounded, Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was having auditory hallucinations.

It wasn't until the adjutant reminded him again and again that Yan Yi reacted.

"Enemy attack!"

"Gather everyone!"

When the gong sounded in the tower, the soldiers in the barracks woke up to each other, and when the strict military order reached the barracks, all the soldiers were already dressed, carrying firearms and coming out to assemble.

"The first battalion and the second battalion are on the east side of the city wall, the third battalion and the fourth battalion are on the west side, and the rest of the people will come with me to the gate!"

"General, the soldiers of the third battalion are poisoned, and only a dozen people can move ......"

"Damn it!"

"The rest of the third battalion stayed behind to take care of the poisoned, and the fourth battalion guarded the western wall alone......"

"No!"

With a bang, the Iwami Silver Mine guards assigned defense areas according to military orders and advanced towards their respective defense areas.

Yan Yi led two battalions of soldiers, and before he reached the gate, he saw a person dressed as a Japanese samurai climbing up from the top of the city.

Seeing this, Yan Yi raised his firearm and shot at the opponent, knocking it down directly from the city!

"Accelerate!"

"Be sure to take your place before the enemy climbs the city!"

"No!"

Although Yan Yi and their speed is already very fast, they are still in a very passive situation with mental calculation or unintentionality.

From the very beginning, the battle for the defense of the city was fought to the point of defending the city walls.

Fortunately, the Ming side had sufficient firepower, and under the fire of firearms, short cannons and other weapons, the enemy on the city was finally eliminated and the initiative was successfully recaptured.

Then, relying on the advantage of the city walls, they fired or fired their cannons downward, which barely repelled the first wave of enemy attacks.

Under the head of the city, Yoshihiro Ouchi looked at the well-founded Ming defenders at the head of the city, and felt the pressure from the Heavenly Empire for the first time.

"The Ming soldiers are really invincible!"

"In such a passive situation, they actually held the battle line so quickly and regained the initiative little by little......"

"We will lose this battle......"

When the soldiers beside Yoshihiro Ouchi heard this, they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

"Let's fight and retreat, save your strength!"

"Hayi!"

Yoshihiro Ouchi is a very realistic person, and seeing that he can't take the Iwami Silver Mine after being so well prepared, he gave up this unrealistic fantasy and thought about how to preserve his strength and prepare for the situation after this war.

Yoshimi Masanori also realized that something was wrong, his side obviously had a huge advantage, and the city was almost taken, why was it snatched back by the Ming army?

"Your Excellency, let's make sure we haven't leaked the news, right?"

"Lord Yoshimi, how smooth we started out, the Ming army was in a hurry at first glance, and it was impossible to leak the news!"

"Alas!"

Yoshimi Masanori let out a long sigh when he heard this.

"God don't bless me!"

"The Ming soldiers are so well-trained, we have no hope of getting back the Iwami Silver Mine in this life!"

"Mingjin withdraws his troops!"

After hearing this, Lai Lai hurriedly persuaded.

"My lord, let's take a look again!"

Yoshimi Masariri shook his head and said.

"I can't fight anymore!"

"The soldiers of my Yoshimi family not only want to fight for the Iwami silver mine, but also defend the territory of our Yoshimi family!"

"Once we lose too many soldiers in this battle, we don't need to retaliate with the Ming Dynasty, and other daimyo and guardians can destroy us!"

"Alas......"

After a long time, when I heard Yoshimi Masarai say this, I couldn't persuade him anymore.

"Since your Excellency said so, let's withdraw our troops quickly......"

After Yoshimi Masanori withdrew his troops, the other two families also withdrew their troops and fled the battlefield in a hurry.

Above the castle, the soldier in charge of looking out at the battlefield shouted happily.

"General Yan, the enemy has withdrawn!"

"Shall we pursue?"

Yan Yi took out the binoculars and looked outside, only to see the dotted torches retreating along the mountain road, just by looking at the formation, he knew that they had really retreated, but the formation was not scattered, which proved that they still had the strength to fight.

"Don't chase!"

"Leave enough defenders on the city, others rescue the wounded and clean up the battlefield!"

"No!"

After the night, hundreds of corpses were thrown on the battlefield.

Yan Yi ordered people to escort miners, cooks and others suspected of collaborating with the enemy to identify the corpses on the battlefield.

"Now your only chance to survive is to make meritorious contributions!"

"If someone is lucky, then he is doomed!"

After Yan Yi said this, he cut off the head of a cook on the spot.

This person has been confirmed to be the one who poisoned and assassinated the soldiers of the third battalion.

Fortunately, he didn't get any powerful poison, just the soldiers of the third battalion had diarrhea.

Otherwise, Yan Yi would have the heart to cut him into human flesh and sashimi.

After Yan Yi cut down one person, the rest of the people were much more honest and identified several corpses.

"My lord, I know this person, it's from the Ouchi family......"

"My lord, I also know this person, he is a member of the Nizi family, and this one is also ......"

"My lord, this is from the Maori family, and the younger one has seen him at the Maori family's manor......"

Yan Yi ordered someone to write down each person, and then wrote it down and sent it to Wei Ming in Kyoto by telegram.

Wei Ming read Yan Yi's report and wrote down his reply on the spot.

"Allow the Iwami Silver Mine Guards to fight back!"

"If you need to cooperate, this special envoy can request the support of the Ming Navy!"

Yan Yi saw Wei Ming's reply, and said to the surrounding battalion commanders with joy.

"Lord Wei asks if we want naval support!"

Several battalion commanders said in unison.

"Don't!"

"There are only a few thousand pirates, we can easily exterminate them, why do we need the navy to come and grab the merit!"

Yan Yi listened to the words of his battalion commander and laughed happily.

"Good boys, our old Yan didn't misread you!"

"There are all of them, the three battalions stay behind to watch the house, and the others go with us......"

"Let's fight the Nizi family first!"

"Good!"

Shortly after returning home, he heard a message from his samurai.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, the Ming army sent a war letter, saying that they will attack our family in three days!"

"Huh?"

"Why hit us first, we're not the closest to them!"

"Hurry up and send a message to the Ouchi family, the Yoshimi family, and the Mori family, and ask them to send someone to help us ......"

Three days later, Izumo Province gathered the troops of the other three clans and fought a decisive battle against the Ming army on a plain.

Although the Nizi had been preparing for three days, they were still on the verge of collapse when they met the Ming army on the battlefield.

On the same day, Nizi came to the Ming military camp with a thorn on his back for a long time, and pleaded guilty to General Yan Yi, the defender of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Yi was not polite, and took the thorn and whipped the nun fiercely for dozens of times, so as to forgive his sins.

"Nizi has lasted for a long time, my Ming Dynasty has never violated the territory of your country, but you don't think about it, but instead gather people from the other three countries to attack my Daming Stone and Silver Mine, this is a heinous crime!"

"Miss your first offense, and give you a chance to mend your ways."

"From now on, Izumo Province will be removed from the list, Izumo Province will be merged into the Iwami Silver Mine, and your whole family will move into the Iwami Silver Mine, keep five hundred guards, and follow me to fight the Yoshimi family, the Mori family, and the Ouchi ......family."

"Hayi!"

"The servant is willing to work for the great Ming effect of dogs and horses!"

Yan Yi reorganized the soldiers and horses, repaired for a few days, and set off again, taking down the Yoshimi family in one fell swoop.

The Yoshimi family saw that Daming accepted Nizi's long-lasting surrender, and they also wanted to do the same, but Daming did not accept his surrender at all.

"Adult, the villain is willing to surrender, ask the adult to give the villain a way to live!"

"You can't!"

"Not only do you have to die, but your whole family has to die!"

"There can't be a powerful family around the Iwami Silver Mine!"

After Yan Yi said this, he ordered someone to drag Yoshimi Masayori down and cut him down, and even the rest of the Yoshimi family who were taking prisoners were also hacked to death by him.

However, Yan Yi underestimated the Yoshimi family.

The Yoshimi family was able to occupy a place in the chaotic Japan, and it must have been the guardian of Iwami for generations.

After Yoshimi Masariri was beheaded, someone immediately passed the news to the Yoshimi family's lair, and the Yoshimi family clansmen who stayed behind hurriedly boarded the ship and took advantage of the convenience of Iwami Province to go to other countries.

Yan Yi wiped out the two countries in a row, but Yoshihiro Ouchi and Mao Liyuan were frightened, and the two didn't even dare to fight, so they immediately took people away from North Korea.

Yoshihiro Ouchi is the son of the king of Joseon, and he has been trading with North Korea for many years, so he has a very good relationship with North Korea.

After escaping to Korea, Ouchi Yoshihiro quickly gained a foothold and gained the trust of the king of South Korea.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Daming's pursuit document soon arrived in North Korea and asked the King of Korea to hand over his head.

Li Chenggui looked at the holy decree brought by the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and then looked at Yoshihiro Ouchi, who was wronged on the side, with endless sadness on his face.

"Ouchi Yoshihiro, it's not that this king doesn't want to help you, it's really the emperor's order that is difficult to disobey!"

Ouchi Yoshihiro seemed to have expected this ending a long time ago, and when he heard Li Chenggui say this, instead of panicking, he said in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity for Yoshihiro Ouchi to die, but once Yoshihiro Ouchi dies, how will North Korea resist the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Chenggui's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his face turned cold.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ouchi Yoshihiro snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, just imagine, Da Ming is like the sun, unmatched, now Da Ming dares to order His Majesty to hand over the heads of the people below, tomorrow Da Ming will let His Majesty sacrifice his head, what will Your Majesty do?"

"No!"

"This king is loyal to Da Ming, Da Ming will never treat me like this!"

Seeing that Li Chenggui was still lucky at this time, Yoshihiro Ouchi couldn't help but sneer.

"Really?"

"Is my Japanese emperor disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty?"

"But he was still detained in the capital by Daming!"

"Isn't I, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu General Daming, disrespectful?"

"There are still families that cannot be returned, and they have authority but cannot use it."

"Your Majesty's land is divided into three parts by the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty only occupies one of them, why should Your Majesty be naïve and deceive yourself?"

"After all, the Ming Dynasty will annex Japan, annex Korea, and assign the two countries to Daming County."

"If Your Majesty doesn't plan early, you will be humbled and your Majesty will be down!"

The more Li Chenggui listened, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but roar.

"Enough!"

"You don't want to provoke the relationship between this king and Daming, this king is loyal to Daming, and Daming will never abandon Lonely!"

"Come on, push this clever guy down and cut it down!"

"Yes!"

Yoshihiro Ouchi was taken to a secret room with a sack on his head, and just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly heard a "click......

After a while, Yoshihiro Ouchi took off his hood and saw a headless corpse facing him.

Yoshihiro Ouchi looked around again, and saw Li Chenggui looking at him with a smiling face.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Li Chenggui smiled kindly.

"Your Excellency Yoshihiro Ouchi, you are so resourceful and brave, how can Lone be willing to kill you?"

"But His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has issued a holy decree, and this king cannot fail to obey it."

"Therefore, this king can only find someone who looks similar to you, and then put on makeup and dress him, and let him die for you!"

"Oooh oh ......"

Ouchi Yoshihiro hesitated slightly, and then knelt down towards Li Chenggui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life!"

"From now on, there will be no Ouchi Yoshihiro in the world, only a lackey loyal to His Majesty!"

Li Chenggui nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Good!"

"You're really smart!"

"Ouchi Yoshihiro's name can't be used, you will change your name to Li Chengdong from now on, and be my distant brother!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

When Li Chenggui sent the head of "Ouchi Yoshihiro" to the Ming Dynasty, Yan Yizheng, the guard of the Iwami Silver Mine, launched a frenzied slaughter of the surrounding feudal states.

All the families who participated in the night attack on the Daming silver mine were wiped out by his clan, and even the first Nizi family to surrender was also given a knife by him.

It's not that Yan Yi is thirsty for killing, but the main thing is that the Ming court recognized their military exploits in killing the enemy, which allowed them to take a great advantage in the first wave.

The defenders of the Iwami Silver Mine totaled just over 1,000 people, and after beating several surrounding feudal states, they beheaded 3,000 people and captured countless baggage.

The military exploits of 3,000 heads have promoted everyone in the defenders of the Iwami Silver Mine to a higher rank, and even he, the general guarding the mine, has been promoted from a thousand household officials to commanders, and he can take office just after he returns to China.

This made the officers and subordinates who had tasted the sweetness addicted at once, and they could not only be seized but also privately, and they could lead the army with their heads.

Tempted by huge profits, the more than 1,000 defenders of the Iwami Silver Mine turned into demons, frantically building battlefields around them, and then slaughtering the local samurai class to gain victory.

At first, they were able to keep their minds in their minds and kill only the samurai in armor. Later, there were not enough samurai, and they did not spare even the people who farmed the land, and caused several tragedies one after another......

The Yamen of the Ming Dynasty Nanjing City Military Department.

Tang Duo, the secretary of the military department, looked at the documents handed over by the king of Japan, and only felt a chill down his spine.

"How can it be!"

"Yan Yi doesn't guard the silver mine well, and he causes trouble everywhere, and his crime should be punished!"

"The old man will play Your Majesty tomorrow, let Your Majesty punish Yan Yi heavily, and return your country to a fair!"

Emperor Ganren saw Tang Duo, the secretary of the military department, say this, and squeezed out two lines of tears.

"Thank you, sir!"

"May the adults return justice to our country as soon as possible, and the strict butcher will be punished, woo woo woo woo ......"

Ganren came out of the military department, and took the same documents to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other yamen, and even Jiuqing visited them all.

Of course, along with his tearful performance, there is also the Japanese specialty he brought - gold.

After Ganren visited the six departments and nine Qings in the capital, he sent someone to each of the imperial historians in the capital to send a document accusing Yan Yi of indiscriminately killing innocents.

After doing all this, Ganren gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Japan.

"Butcher Yan, I will definitely break your body into pieces this time to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
