Chapter 140: The First Shot After Landing

Shimazu was asleep due to the weather, and the rumbling sound of cannon fire made him mistakenly think that a thunderstorm was coming.

"It's November, and it's not a good thing to have another thunderstorm at this time."

He was drowsy, muttering to himself, then rolled over and fell asleep.

The threat of Fangjin is not great, the Satsuma army stationed here is only 300 people, and today's heavy rain is a little untenable, and those defenders are all sheltering in their respective residences to rest in the rain.

Since the establishment of the Edo shogunate, they had not participated in any war for nearly twenty years, and their casual and comfortable life had long since made them forget the duty of a soldier.

Until the soldiers of the 1st Division surrounded these people's barracks with guns and opened their military tents, these Satsuma soldiers were still playing and sleeping in the tents.

"Oh..."

One of the Satsuma soldiers was surprised, they had never seen the Ming soldiers at all, and the people who opened their tents were wearing dark green clothes with a black iron plate on their chests, if it weren't for the muskets in their hands, these Satsuma soldiers would have thought that the shogunate had sent someone.

"Who are you?"

The brim helmet on Keguangxian's head can effectively shield himself from the rain, but his body is inevitably wet, he naturally can't understand what these people say, but the nature of a soldier is to see these so-called aliens, that is, one word--- kill...

"Bang..."

Keguang first personally fired the first shot after landing in the Japanese Kingdom, and the first shot he fired should be recorded in history in the future.

As the first Satsuma soldier fell to the ground, the soldiers in the tent were shocked, and although the first gunshot did not spread far in the rain, it was accompanied by more gunfire.

Hirata Zhaoichi knelt down in front of Chen Cao, this person was the first potential customer of Jinyiwei's development in Satsuma Domain, although Hirata Zhaoichi had some foundation in his heart, but he still felt a mountain of oppression at the first time when he saw the people of the Heavenly // Dynasty.

"I heard that you were kicked out of Kagoshima Castle for stealing and took your name as a samurai?"

The interpreter at this moment is Jinyiwei's person, and after the translator translated Chen Cao's words to Hirata Zhaoichi, his body was lower.

"The little one was wronged, the guy from Mifune framed the small one because of his personal grudges, so that the fields that originally belonged to the small ones were taken away by them."

"Ben Hou believes that you are not a thief."

"Your Excellency..."

Even though it rained, the temperature inside the thatched hut was still a little muggy, perhaps because there were too many people.

"Ben Hou led 50,000 troops to land in the Wa Kingdom this time, not to avenge the revenge of Korea, but for other things, since you chose to take refuge in Ben Hou, naturally you have to come up with something practical, my Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to a vote;

Also, you have to learn to speak my Da Ming dialect, my Chinese language...

Let's use it as a local dialect in the future..."

Hirata Zhaoichi looked up and was stunned for a moment after listening to the translation, and then kowtowed vigorously: "Remember, the little one will definitely not disappoint the adults." ”

"Master Hou," Zhao Xin walked into the grass hut: "Their military camp has been taken, and more than three hundred soldiers have all been beheaded, and Shimazu Zhangyan's mansion has been surrounded." ”

Hirata Zhaoichi's expression was very uncomfortable, although these three hundred feudal soldiers were not elite samurai, but there were many lower-level samurai among them, and they were all beheaded.

"What about Liao Yaowen, why hasn't he come to see me yet?"

Zhao Xin immediately arrested a person of his own, and as soon as the person saw Chen Cao, he saluted: "The lowly Lord Liao has a hundred households, Lord Liao is developing in Edo, and he has already arrived after getting the news of the Hou Ye, so he must still be on the road at this moment." ”

Zhao Xin interjected: "The ships in the Inland Sea can only be used by the shogunate, and he can only take the land route, so he can't catch up with the time." ”

Chen Cao stood up, he found that the rain was a little light, so he picked up the Yanling knife next to him: "Go, take Shimazu Zhangping, and go to Shimazu Zhangyan's mansion together." ”

"Master Hou, where is the shogunate?" Zhao Xin frowned.

Chen Cao thought for a while: "Only people who need to report the news can, otherwise they will attack in groups and disperse and disintegrate, why not do this?" ”

.

The moment the door of Shimazu Zhangyan's mansion was kicked open, this military and political commander of Fangzu woke up like a dream, and when the retainers in the mansion knelt in front of him, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

"All dead?"

Shimazu Zhangyan's face was like water, and his retainers were soaked, and he didn't have time to talk about etiquette: "I'm surrounded." ”

"Ahh

A maid's scream, followed by the sound of neat footsteps reached his ears, and a group of people in the room opened the door to see the Ming soldiers with muskets.

One of the retainers roared, drew a long knife and rushed down the tatami mat with two people.

'Bang bang bang...'

There was a flurry of gunfire, and the three of them were instantly beaten into a sieve.

"It's... This..."

Chen Cao walked out of the crowd under the crowd of brocade guards, and after standing, he looked at the man with the samurai hair bun, and then shook his head and said: "This head shape is really not good-looking, this kind of hair bun must not appear in Japan in the future, but cultural relics are okay." ”

"Bastard..."

Shimazu Shoyan scolded loudly, because he clearly saw Shimazu Shohei who was escorted out of the queue.

Shimazu Zhanghei was forced to hold his head down, and shouted at Shimazu Zhangyan: "Go and send a message to the Lord, the Ming people are attacking, they are going to attack my Satsuma Domain..."

The brocade guard next to him quickly pulled out the Yanling knife and cut off the head of Shimazu Zhangpei, who was still churning.

Shimazu Shoyan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, if it was really according to Shimazu Shohei's words, these people in front of him were here to attack Satsuma, and the ultimate goal was the Wa Kingdom.

After hearing this, Chen Cao smiled and said, "Report the news? You have to have a chance, but it can't be you, you have to be Shimazu Tadashi. ”

"Ahh

Shimazu Zhangyan roared, drew his long knife, raised his knife and rushed towards Chen Cao with the remaining dozen or so retainers, this kind of mortal move would definitely not allow them to rush to Chen Cao's approach as they wanted.

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

With a volley, the knife in Shimazu Zhangyan's hand fell to the ground, and the whole person fell straight back.

"Clean up the whole mansion, it will be cleaner here, and you can live for a while." Chen Cao didn't want to look at these dead people, so he took people back to the ship, after all, before the entire Fangjin was completely safe, he would never rashly live in someone else's house, and there were many assassinations in the Wa Kingdom.

.

"Sakura Castle is located about forty miles southeast of Fangzu, and it is the closest place to support Fangjin, and the spies of the Satsuma Domain will definitely pass the news over after we take Fangjin,"

Sun Chuanting spent two hours studying the map of the Satsuma Domain, this terrain map is very carefully, the mountains and rivers are very clear, and even the approximate distance is marked on the map, so the whole map is a little large: "Thirty miles after that is Zhilan City, if we use the blitzkrieg that Hou Ye said to attack quickly, Xia Guan thinks that the two cities can be defeated before their feudal troops are assembled." ”

"Their city is the kind of mansion with walls built..."

Chen Cao interjected: "What is it called, the castle tower is usually divided into these cities. ”

Zhao Xin handed over the information, Chen Cao glanced at it and said with a smile: "Ha, it's a coincidence, this fiefdom of Hirata Zengxin is this Sakura City." ”

"Hirata Masanobu died in the Ryukyus, and we didn't marinate his head, will there be any obstacles to the fight?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and asked, obviously he didn't understand all of Chen Cao's words, but his train of thought was quite normal.

Chen Cao heard that he carefully popularized science for these people: "Every city, its surroundings are the residences of the feudal soldiers of the city to which it belongs, which is similar to our tuntian system;

Their so-called city center is the residence of the feudal generals, not high or low, there is a wall made of bricks and stones, the center of the city is called the castle tower, if that place falls, it means that the city has been captured;

And the people to whom this city belongs, all live around or below the city, and those people are basically the families of the feudal soldiers, that is, the remnants of our Ming guards, and a city is very easy to fight. ”

Sun Chuanting listened very carefully, and said: "Hou Ye, if you say so, the lower officials think that they can attack by different routes, and then take down the entire Satsuma Domain as quickly as possible." ”

Chen Cao looked up at the people in the cabin: "What do you think?" ”

Song Che glanced at the map again, and then said: "Use Fangjin as bait to send troops to attack Sakura Castle, and then surround the point to send reinforcements, and annihilate the living forces of the Satsuma Domain as much as possible." ”

Tang Kainian waited for Song Che to finish speaking, and then said arrogantly: "That needs to be so stable, as long as the last general takes the officers and soldiers of the first division to kill the generals, and gives them a sweeping army, the last general is confident that he can take these two cities within five days." ”

The rest of the people all agreed with Song Che and Tang Kainian's point of view, after all, they came here to make a fortune, where do they need to say so twists and turns.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting said: "Didn't Hou Ye Mo want to lure the main force of the Satsuma Domain into a decisive battle, and then capture them?" ”

"Hahaha...."

Chen Cao laughed, and his careful thinking was really seen through by Sun Chuanting: "Boya, it's a shame that you are from a two-rank jinshi, otherwise I would have thought that your knowledge should be plagiarized;

That's right, that's what it means, after all, the Toyotomi family still needs their own strength, and the people of the Satsuma clan can use it, but the Shimazu family..."

Chen Cao shook his head: "This kind of person at both ends of the head and rat is not worth wooing." ”

"Then where does Master Hou think it is most appropriate to lure them?" Sun Chuanting asked again.

Chen Cao walked to the map and pointed with his hand: "Just in the middle of Sakura City and Zhilan City, this place called Pingyuan River, don't they like to face each other head-on, Tang Kainian's two regiments met the enemy from the front, giving them the illusion that we only have a few thousand people, and then mobilized the cavalry and archery masters of the whole army, detoured behind Zhilan City, took this city, attacked back and forth, and fought for the completion of the battle, including the entire Satsuma Domain..."

All the generals in the cabin clasped their fists together: "Yes..."
