"Still want to escape?"

Shimazu Mitsunari withdrew his hand, looked at the North Korean who was nailed to the ground by a spear not far away, and snorted coldly.

He looked back at the battlefield again, and the North Korean officers and soldiers who were responsible for escorting the convoy were basically killed, and even those who took the initiative to kneel down and surrender were all beheaded like dead dogs.

Don't take prisoners!

This is the rule set by Mitsunari Shimazu.

The captives will not do them any good, but will waste their food, and if they are released, it will leak their news, so it is better to kill them directly.

Anyway, these captives are Koreans, and if they are killed, they will be killed, and there is no psychological burden at all.

However, for those people who were forcibly recruited, Shimazu Mitsu had to start thinking about what to do, these people could not be released, there was no doubt about it, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, the people had to leave with them, and it just so happened that those carriages also needed the help of the people to drive and carry.

Just as Shimazu Mitsunari was thinking, a samurai walked up to him with a folk man, and the samurai saluted and said, "Mitsunari-sama, this folk man wants to see you."

"Huh?" Shimazu Mitsunari followed the sound and looked at the man with blood on his face, he was already short and ugly, and the blood stains on his face made him even more hideous.

While Shimazu Mitsunari was looking at him, the man saluted respectfully to the other party and said, "Master Samurai, the villain's name is Kangta, we are all civilians forcibly recruited from Kumamoto Castle, the Xia people and the Koreans bullied us in every way, if it wasn't for the old man who came out and killed them, we don't know when we would have ended this life."

Shimazu Mitsunari ignored his misery, he stared at the blood stains on Minfu's body, and said, "You killed someone?"

"Yes, sir." Kang Tae said respectfully, "The villain took advantage of the chaos to pick up the North Korean knife and killed an enemy with an iron cannon."

"Good." Shimazu Mitsunari nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then, from now on, you are the head of the people, all of you were saved by me, Shimazu Mitsunari, follow me in the future, anyway, if you go back now, you will only be killed by the Xia people."

As soon as he heard this, Yasuta hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and the people who had been gathered by the samurai fell into a commotion, and they also understood that Shimazu Mitsunari was telling the truth, and they became uncontrollably sad at the thought that they had fallen into a den of thieves and would not see their parents and relatives.

But Shimazu Mitsunari obviously would not give them a chance to continue grieving, and with a wave of his hand, he beckoned the people to clean up the battlefield, take the armor and valuable things from the corpses of the North Koreans, and bring their weapons with them, and then escorted the carriage to the hiding place in the mountains.

As for the corpses of those North Koreans, there is no big problem, the beasts will help them deal with it.

……

Similar situations occurred in Chikushi Province from time to time, but Shimazu Mitsunari was the only one who gathered a group of samurai, and most of the wandering samurai were left in the grass and joined forces with the bandits who were already in the mountains to attack the convoys of the official army and sack the villages.

The crime quickly attracted the attention of the Xia army's top brass, and Su Fu immediately became angry, and he ordered the Korean officers and soldiers who maintained law and order to assemble and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress the bandits in Chikushi Province - he did not let the Xia army participate in the suppression of bandits, in his opinion, it was more than enough to hand over these matters to the Korean officials and soldiers, and there was no need to send Xia Jun to participate. ….

It is true that although the Korean officers and soldiers pulled their hips and fought with the regular army of the shogunate like rookies pecking each other, it was more than enough to deal with a group of rabble bandits.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the Korean officials and troops, many bandit gangs were eliminated, and in addition to Satsuma Province, public order in various places gradually improved, but only in Satsuma Province, the Korean officials and troops were a little difficult for a while.

The Satsuma region has been a headache for the shogunate since ancient times, and in the original history, more than 200 years later, the mighty war of the shogunate was also led by the Satsuma domain, and in this world, even if it was changed to the rule of the Xia Dynasty, Satsuma Province was still the main active place of resistance.

Under the leadership of Shimazu Mitsunari, many convoys escorted by North Korean officers and soldiers were ambushed and annihilated

After entering the mountain, Shimazu Mitsunari organized them to cut down trees and build small fortresses, intending to resist for a long time.

At the same time, he knew that he could not rely on these samurai alone, so he selected a group of people from among the Minfu and trained them with captured Korean weapons and equipment, and formed an army of more than 300 people, including samurai.

With this army, Shimazu Mitsunari went down the mountain to plunder the villages, plundered the population, and caused the surrounding villagers to suffer greatly, but he was helpless, until the Korean official army in charge of the encirclement and suppression finally entered Satsuma Province, and Shimazu Mitsunari finally stopped his actions against the civilians.

In order to sustain the daily lives of the hundreds of people, Shimazu Mitsunari built a small mountain town that was difficult to defend and prepared for a long struggle.

Therefore, after the arrival of the North Korean army and the blockade of the mountainous area where he operated, Shimazu Mitsunari was not affected by the blockade by virtue of the food reserves and cultivated fields that he had plundered before.

After losing hundreds of people, the North Korean officers and troops did not dare to continue to send troops, so they could only continue to blockade, hoping to trap this group of thorny bandits alive.

The military report of the Koreans was also reported to Su Fu, and he simply glanced at it and put it aside, not paying attention to the suppression of bandits in Satsuma Province, his main attention was attracted by the war in the east - after Kyushu Island gradually stabilized, the Xia army began to try to land on Honshu Island and seize the Chinese region.

The Chinese region has the silver mountain that the emperor said is extremely high, which is also one of the purposes of the Xia army's conquest of Japan, the conquest of Kyushu Island is only to open up a stable frontline stronghold, and the war against China is the next priority.

Under the contact of the shogunate's envoys, a full 140,000 Japanese troops had been assembled throughout China, most of which were concentrated in Nagato Province, across the sea from Bunzen Prefecture, and they patrolled the long coastline day and night to prevent the Xia army from forcibly breaking through the blockade line of their own naval forces and forcibly landing on Honshu Island.

At the beginning, the daimyo of various feudal lords in Japan still had their own evil intentions when the Xia army was killed, and some even wanted to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate with the help of the Xia army, but after the Xia Dynasty implemented the policy of abolishing the feudal domain on Kyushu Island, the feudal lords and daimyo changed their previous thinking and decided to fight against the Xia army together with the shogunate.

They can see that the Xia army's intention is to conquer and annex Japan, and to enforce its own system in Japan, which is bound to damage their interests, and in order to defend their interests, they must fight to the last man.

Tears.
