Chapter 135: A Gift to the Satsuma Clan

"Master Hou, the widow has retreated..."

Chen Cao immediately stood up and looked at the mountain pass, and sure enough, Hisayama Hidaka, who was still directing the personnel to attack from both sides of the mountain just now, had retreated a few miles, and the headquarters of Hirata Masuzong, who had entered from both sides, was also retreating step by step.

Lu Xiangsheng on the opposite hillside had already ordered the Dingwu army to chase him out, and when Chen Cao saw this, he patted Sun Chuanting, who was stunned: "Let's go, Boya, let's go and chase Huashan Jiugao." ”

The more than 10,000 people of the first division were not all arranged in the valley, except for the division commander Tang Kainian who personally led two regiments to make a detour to surround them, Chen Cao placed two regiments in the valley here, and the rest were all stationed at the edge of Gushan County as a reserve force.

Moreover, according to the simple topography of the Ryukyus, it is really impossible to place these people in the mountains.

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ...

Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ...

The gunfire did not stop after the pursuit began.

"I heard that when Hou Ye was in Liaodong, he personally took the Jinyi Guard to fight with Jiannu, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Because there were more than 5,000 people chasing him, Chen Cao and the important generals behind him couldn't ride their horses and gallop, and when they heard Sun Chuanting ask, they looked at Zhao Xin beside him: "If there were no Jinyi guards who were not afraid of death, the credit for wanting to kill Murhaqi would not have fallen on me, if there were no people who had the courage to charge with me, I am afraid that I would not be here today." ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly handed over his hand: "Uncle is really tormenting his subordinates." ”

Chen Cao laughed: "Back then, I was the son of the generals of the Wei Mansion, even if I was born in the Wei Mansion, my life was not worth anything;

After Liaodong, he rose step by step, in addition to being favored by Wei Zhongxian, it was because I wanted to get more power, Boya, you must know that everyone in this world has a share. ”

"The world is royal, and the Ming Dynasty is Emperor Taizu."

"No," Chen Cao waved his hand and vetoed Sun Chuanting's words: "According to me, this world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person, and this Ming is also the Ming of the people of the world, not the Ming of one person." ”

"If there is no Emperor Taizu..."

"If there is no entourage of generals around Emperor Taizu, do you think that with Emperor Taizu's identity and means, you can achieve the merits of driving away Meng Yuan?" Chen Cao looked at him suspiciously.

Sun Chuanting was immediately shocked: "Master Hou, you want to rebel?" ”

"You're wrong again..."Chen Cao vetoed again: "The Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty, what Benhou wants is to pass on the Ming Dynasty for eternity, not a hundred years, the two sections before and after the Zhou Dynasty are only eight hundred years, what I want is eternity..."

"Zhongjun..."

Sun Chuanting shouted, Chen Cao turned his head to look at him: "I think you also understand what I mean, in fact, everyone can be an emperor, but everyone's talents are different, if you let a beggar be the emperor, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely die soon." ”

"Master Hou, there is also Gonggong Wu here."

Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Chun beside Chen Cao, but Wu Chun's old god didn't care about Chen Cao's words, but looked at the battlefield in the distance: "Our family cares about the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the task is to make money for His Majesty's internal money, and our family can ignore other things, unless Chen Qiao's past also appears in the army of Dingwu Hou, at that time, if our family has the ability, we will definitely make a move..."

Chen Caoruo glanced at Wu Chun interestingly, and then turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting: "The foundation of the great tomorrow lies in the people, not the royal family, if Your Majesty has the demeanor and courage of the ancestor to become an ancestor, I am willing, Boya, the emperor who is only willing to engage in carpentry, do you think this dynasty still has the ability to create a prosperous world." ”

"The next emperor will have it." Sun Chuanting's words were a little cold.

Chen Cao laughed: "Boya, you have been in the central place for a long time, you must have heard the rumors of Your Majesty today, not to mention this, Your Majesty has been married for four years, in addition to giving birth to a daughter, have you seen a son born?" Even if Empress Zhang gave birth to one, she died soon after..."

Sun Chuanting thought thoughtfully: "Hou Ye, it's better to say less in the future, the Ming Dynasty is not as unbearable as Hou Ye thinks, and the Zhu family is not all mediocre people." ”

"Ben Hou's starting point is for the people, and what he does is much more practical than those high officials in the temple, otherwise Boya will not be with me Chen Cao, you see, after a few years, the Ming Dynasty will change greatly, and at that time, you will understand, what is the foundation..."

Sun Chuanting felt that he couldn't say Chen Cao at all, so he didn't speak anymore, but kept his last words in his heart.

At that time, the herald soldiers rode their horses: "Lord Qiqi, our army has surrounded the Japanese army on the seashore in front. ”

"Okay..."Chen Cao sat up straight, and then looked around: "Everyone, let's go, let's go and see the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army." ”

In addition to suffering losses in Korea for so many years, Kayama Hisataka did not participate in the dispute between the Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family, and this defeat was more than ten years later.

But he was not angry, but surprised that the Ming army was so strong, he was proud of the combat effectiveness and spirit of the samurai, even if he pursued ten miles, but there were still nearly 4,000 people under his command to fight.

"There is a characteristic of the Japanese army in the war, the battle situation is not right, and if it is deeply encircled, those samurai directly under the daimyo will resist desperately, and if they can't do anything, they will die in front of the opponent."

"That's what they think is the glory, most Japanese people believe in Buddhism, and after seppuku, they can be blessed by the Buddha."

Chen Cao asked the soldiers in the barracks to generally learn and refer to the combat methods and living habits of the Japanese people, Sun Chuanting is a person who loves to learn, but most of these things are popularized by Chen Cao.

"Master Hou, those wouldn't surrender, they said they would fight to the death."

Huang Degong walked across the knife, looking indignant: "During the pursuit, the black hand ambushed the dead along the way and killed many of our soldiers. ”

After the Dingwu army left the Ming Dynasty and went on the expedition, this was Chen Cao's family background, every soldier was precious, and there were many dead people, so Chen Cao naturally refused.

"Bastard, pass the order, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not fight with the Japanese in the white-knuckle battle, this pursuit of all the departments with serious casualties, the team leader from the platoon commander to the regiment commander, all punished, if it is a recidivism, all are reduced to ordinary soldiers."

Huang Degong was stunned for a moment, he just wanted to take advantage of this strength to ask Chen Cao to allow him to take the guard regiment to have a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese Kou, after all, Lou Xingye's performance was too outstanding before, and he, the head of the guard regiment, was really a little guilty: "Yes... I understand it..."

Chen Cao led the people forward, and it was not until he reached a distance of two hundred paces from the periphery of the Japanese army that he could clearly see the troops with bamboo spears and hats.

The major armies were requisitioned from the peasants, and a powerful country like the Satsuma Domain had a standing army of only a few thousand people, and only in times of war would the local people be recruited to put on military uniforms and go to war.

And these short, yellow and black Japanese soldiers are obviously not samurai, but just retainers and common people under the rule of samurai, who were temporarily conscripted into the army, which is why the major names of the Wa Kingdom were generally beaten by Oda Nobunaga during the Warring States Period, and the key players in the war are the samurai and retainers directly under the daimyo, these so-called true samurai are no more than a thousand at most, even if it is a strong feudal like the Satsuma Domain, the samurai army of the Shimazu family is more than 3,000 people, and there are only 500 samurai sent to the Kayama Hidaka, plus the samurai and retainers of the Kayama family, There are only more than 1,000 people.

And these more than 1,000 people are all the confidence to support the birch mountain for a long time.

Chen Cao shook his head with a pout, then pointed to a Japanese soldier and said, "Hats, old cloth armor, straw sandals, bamboo spears in their hands, and their hands that are starting to tremble, Boya, what do you think of such an army?" ”

"There are still quite a few elite armored warriors in my view," Sun Chuanting pointed to the Birch Mountain Hidaka Honjin near the beach.

"It's a bit of a child's play for them to fight." Chen Cao sneered: "The two armies are facing each other, our Ming Dynasty is to charge straight or defend the city, others are surrounded by a white cloth with a family crest, and then sit inside to command, their big tent is really a little unexpected to me." ”

Not to mention, there are 4,000 people in the birch mountain Hisaka at this moment have ordered people to surround the big tent in the center, and Hirata Masumune is sitting in it.

There were quite a few people sitting around the tent, apparently the retainers of Kayama Hisataka and Hirata Masumune.

"The Ming army is at least more than 3,000 people, the other side is full of firearms and uses artillery, our iron artillery team has suffered heavy losses, I think it is safest to break through the rear, climb the mountain and warship, and stay away from the land."

After all, Kayama Hisataka has fought for decades, and he still has a relatively long-term view of the final direction of the war.

Hirata Masumune was hit in the face by the branch hit by lead bullet, although there was a mask on his face, but the blunt force still caused his face to be traumatized, and his face was red at the moment: "I have suffered a big loss, so if I go back, I will definitely be impeached by Heizaburo in front of the lord, it is inevitable to cut stones, and our intentions cannot be achieved, in my opinion, I will lead the samurai of my family to charge the left flank of the Ming army, and you will lead the army to penetrate from the middle, as long as you get close to their military formation, the Ming people are vulnerable." ”

Birch Mountain Hisagao's face was heavy, and at this moment, a flag book quickly opened the big tent, knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, the Ming people spread the word, saying that they want to see the adults, if the adults don't come forward, they will kill the ashigaru general in front of those cheap slaves..."

Hirata Masujong stood up as soon as he got up and killed his son in front of his subordinates, and the face of the Hirata family was too big, so regardless of the persuasion of Hisakama Hisaka, he walked out with people.

Kayama Hidaka felt a burst of black clouds drifting in, but looking at the sky, the Ryukyu sky was so blue at the moment, and the sun was so dazzling: "Anameasu will protect you..."
