Chapter 46 Bad news in Kyushu, the Japanese army withdraws
The 90,000 Japanese troops withdrew to Pusan, and found that the Busan pier had not been attacked, and the generals were much more relieved.
There were more than 100,000 people before, but in less than ten days, they lost nearly 50,000 horses! Fortunately, the samurai did not lose much.
Bringing people into the dock, the head of the palace asked. "Where is the Ryukyu sailor?"
However, the leader of the Japanese sailors shook his head in confusion. "Boss Asai, there are no Ryukyu sailors found on Busan Tsushima Island or even in the mainland waters."
"How could it be! Did they withdraw their troops? The deputy marshal of Maori asked with a frown.
Asai shook his head. "The Ryukyu Army will not wave their hands easily and continue to send ships to investigate!"
Another day passed, and the news of Kyushu Island also came!
The first to receive the news was Otomo Yamataka, but the most shocked was Shimazu Ikuho!
"Impossible! Kagojo Castle can't be broken so easily! ”
The little boss who came to report could only say more. "General Shimazu is not only Kagojo, but now the territory of the Otomo family is also being attacked by the Ryukyu Army, and there is a war on the entire island of Kyushu!"
"Young master, please return to the army as soon as possible! Otherwise! ”
Shimazu shook his head sharply, he still didn't want to believe it. "Nope! That's impossible! Zhu Sang, how could he! ”
Ignoring Shimazu Shengfan, Otomo Yamataka hurriedly went to Asai Miyashou for help.
After receiving the news, the head of Asai Palace also hurriedly convened the generals to discuss.
As soon as he heard that the Shimazu family had been broken, Mori almost couldn't help but laugh.
Asai Miyashou and others were also glad that the Ryukyu Army had attacked Kyushu Island instead of their territory.
"Boss Asai, the Kyushu soldiers must return to Kyushu Island first!"
"Please ask the commander to order the sailors to escort the ship."
The fleet of sailors on the island of Kyushu and Shikoku is gone, otherwise there is no need to discuss it with everyone.
Asai Miyashou frowned, he didn't dare to take any more risks!
"Let the sailor escort you, what if the Ryukyu Army blockades Busan?" Maori Rende said without scruples.
"The Liaodong Ming army is already preparing to attack Daegu City, and General Otomo is planning to let us break off!" Another Motoshima general retorted.
Otomo Yamataka knew that these people were not so easy to agree, so he said coldly. "The Liaodong Army dispatched only 100,000 horses, and I will leave 5,000 people on Kyushu Island after the generals are broken."
The coach did not speak, and the same Maori deputy immediately refused. "How can this work, there are fifty or sixty thousand Ryukyu sailors, who knows if they will attack the Busan dock!"
"General Otomo, the sailors of this island have been assembled, and it is not too late to leave together in two days."
Ignoring everyone, Otomo Yamataka looked at Coach Asai and said. "Boss Asai, if the Ryukyu Naval Division is allowed to capture the castles of Kyushu, I'm afraid the next target will be Shikoku Island or the southern part of Honshu Island."
Hearing Otomo Yamataka say this, the generals of Shikoku Island also had to get nervous.
"Coach Kyushu Island can't just fall like this!" General Miyoshi immediately voiced his opinion.
Everyone in Kyushu and Shikoku Island opened their mouths, so it was difficult for Mori and others to continue to oppose it.
After thinking about it, Miyashou Rende immediately said. "That's good, after leaving 10,000 people on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, the soldiers of Kyushu Island immediately got on the ship and returned."
"Thank you, Boss!" Otomo said!
With a cold snort, Maori Rende didn't say more.
Watching everyone arguing, Shimazu Shengfan didn't open his mouth.
Out of the boss's camp, Otomo Yamataka was immediately comforted. "General Shimazu rest assured, it is impossible for the Shimazu family to be trapped in the city."
"We still have nearly 40,000 people, enough to repel the Ryukyu sailors."
"That's what General Otomo said!" Shimazu nodded faintly.
Back at the military camp of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Ikuho immediately summoned the big and small leaders.
After a long while, Shimazu said calmly. "You all know that Kagoshima has been breached, even if there are still people in the Shimazu family alive, I am afraid that they will be annexed by the Otomo family and others in the future!"
The Wa Kingdom has always been the law of the jungle, and Shimazu Shengfan knows that it will be difficult for the Shimazu family to rise again!
According to the style of the Ryukyu Army, I'm afraid that the female dependents will be taken away! Kagoshima without women has no future.
The commanders were silent, and they were now panicked and confused.
After a while, Shimazu made up his mind. "Commanders, even if we return to Kyushu Island, we will be consumed in front of the battle! Therefore, Shogun Ben plans not to return to Kagoshima anymore, but to go to Seoul to join King Zhusang! ”
Shimazu Shengfan's clenched fist loosened again.
Hearing Shimazu Shengfan say this, the commanders could no longer be silent.
"Young master, the Ryukyu Army betrayed our covenant and destroyed the Shimazu family, how can we take refuge in him!"
"The young master might as well take refuge in the more powerful Ming army!"
Some of them didn't speak, but the eyes that looked at Shimazu were not so respectful.
After everyone finished speaking, Shimazu Shengfan spoke. "You choose your own way out! But I'm afraid the woman I'm waiting for will be sent to Ryukyu Kingdom! ”
"The Ming army is still going to fight, and now if you take refuge in them, you will become cannon fodder!"
Now that they have more than 8,000 people left, Shimazu no longer wants to fight.
As soon as Shimazu explained this, the leaders immediately remembered their wives and concubines, as well as their daughters. In the style of the Ryukyu Army, as long as it is a woman, how small it is, it will be taken away!
"What the general said is that if you join the Ryukyu Army, maybe you can reunite with your family!"
"No matter what, I'll follow the general!"
Soon all the leaders spoke, but a few of the leaders did not speak.
"If you don't want to follow, you can go to other daimyo! Let's go, the rest of the people are ready to leave immediately! Shimazu said with a light smile.
"General, I'll take my leave."
However, as soon as the commanders went out, they were surrounded by a group of samurai.
"Kill!" Shimazu Shoufan shouted coldly.
If most people don't want to follow him, he won't do it.
"It's good to kill, and you dare to betray the young master."
…
Soon, Otomo Yamataka and Asai Miyashou and others discovered Shimazu Shengfan's movements, and the generals also gathered involuntarily.
As soon as the crowd approached, Maori Rende cried out angrily. "Shimazu Shengfan, this traitor must have gone to join the Ming army, why didn't General Otomo immediately send troops to kill them!"
"Humph! There are many Maori deputy marshals, why not chase them first? Otomo sneered.
He doesn't have time to pay attention to Shimazu now, he doesn't say whether the army will make a move, and he doesn't want to lose his troops in vain.
Asai Miyashou said coldly. "The Shimazu family is gone, so let him go first! They will regret it on the battlefield afterwards! ”
"I want to take refuge in the Ming army! I'm afraid that the Ming army won't accept it! ”
Naturally, Shimazu did not go to Daegu Castle, and after getting out of the sight of the Japanese army, he hurriedly crossed the river to the hinterland north of Changwon.
……
After discovering that Zhu Di defeated the Japanese army, Zhu Sang also had to let the recruits go south to occupy the territory.
Not wanting to conflict with the Ryukyu army, Zhu Di only occupied the cities on both sides of the Nakdong River, so that most of the northwest territory in the north and south of Goryeo was occupied by the Liaodong army.
The betrayal of the Shimazu soldiers made the Japanese army even more warless, and after losing more than 10,000 people, the Japanese army also successfully withdrew to the Japanese country.
The main reason is that Zhu Di doesn't want to suffer too many casualties, otherwise the Japanese army wouldn't want to retreat so smoothly.
However, after the Kyushu soldiers of Mt. Otomo returned to Kyushu Island, the island's large and small earth castles had been looted, and the Ryukyu sailors had just left with a full load.
