.Chapter 49 Kagoshima
Chapter 49 �
There was a sarcastic sound toward the high city.
When we set out, we said that it was an unprecedented army in Kyushu. The 60,000 army may not be anything in the Ming Dynasty. But in Japan and Kyushu, it was indeed a rare hero. As a result, it was defeated and the generals were lost.
The famous and surnamed generals suddenly lost more than ten. As for the losses of the troops, the losses of the troops have not been calculated yet, but in the eyes of Toji Jianlian, there are at least more than 10,000. This has not been calculated yet. After all, the defeated soldiers are not that stupid. It can be seen that the Shimazu family is chasing Otomo Sorin and they don’t care too much about some small goals.
Otomo Sorin was unprecedentedly depressed. He held his broken helmet and sat in the Tianshou Pavilion without moving.
After Toji Kenlian came in, he bowed and said, "Head of the family, Shimazu sent a letter."
Otomo Sorin didn't have the idea of seeing it, and said, "I'm lying."
"Yes." Toji Jianlian immediately finished reading this letter, with little content, and even some clichés. He just told Ototo Sorin that he wanted to work together with Ototo Sorin to fight the Minggang. As long as Ototo Sorin agrees to this matter, the prisoners of war he captured will be returned to the Ototo family unconditionally.
After hearing this, Ototo Sorin sneered and said, "Fake compassion. What do you think you should do?"
Kenlian Toji said: "I don't think it's important to have any conditions for him to open. What's important is that we should withdraw our troops. If we are defeated in such a big defeat, there may be problems."
Otomo Sorin was silent.
Daming, a Japanese Warring States Period, spent his whole life walking between betrayal and being betrayed. Naturally, he knew that such a great damage to his image would happen. His internal and external enemies would not sit still and wait for death. If he did not go back immediately, there would be something he could not bear to say.
Otomo Sorira said: "It's okay to withdraw, but," he said, gritting his teeth, "I will not reach any agreement with the Shimazu family, this hatred is irreconcilable."
When Toji Jianlian heard this, he opened his mouth and lowered his head.
He actually wanted to say that if he did not redeem the general who fell to his opponent, it would cause great trouble. It would affect many people's support and loyalty to Otomo Sorin. However, Otomo Sorin was obviously still angry, so he could only wait until Otomo Sorin's anger faded, and then it would not be too late to say it.
Otomo Sorin quietly withdrew his troops, which was in direct and sharp contrast to his massive move south.
However, Ototo Sorin was quite kind. He reported to Zhou Mengchen all the time when he withdrew his troops.
After taking a closer look, Zhou Mengchen said, "The Shimazu family is pretty good. They can be an opponent. I just don't know how Qi Jiguang is doing now." Then someone gave someone an introduction to the original battle and sent a note to Qi Jiguang.
Where is Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou at this moment? It's in Nagasaki.
Zhou Mengchen Heido Nagasaki area has set up some ports, and now Nagasaki is already a military port and the destination of the Ming Navy in Japan. Yu Dayou has been preparing for this matter in this way for a while. It has not been completely repaired yet.
After all, infrastructure construction is a very laborious task and cannot be done in one day or two.
At this moment, both sides were preparing to send troops, but this time it was Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou as the assistant. Yu Dayou only needed to send Qi Jiguang's troops ashore, or to use naval cannons to cheer.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou read the military newspaper and agreed with Zhou Mengchen's judgment that the Shimazu family's combat effectiveness was very strong.
Qi Jiguang said: "The drama is about to begin, and it's time for us to play."
So I went to sea on the same day, and it was just dawn the next day. The Shimazu family found rolling smoke from the southern sea. It was nothing more. This was because the Shimazu family controlled several islands outside the sea and was completely conquered by the Ming army and became the frontier position of the Ming army.
Then a piece of sail surged out from under the horizon, two sails, three sails, and countless sails crowded into the sky, as if they were about to squeeze the sky bigger.
This is a scene that the Shimazu family had never seen before.
The main force of Shimazu, who had just returned from the Xianggao battlefield, watched the Ming Dynasty ships surrounded Kagoshima from the sea.
Then violent bombardment began. Kagoshima Castle was not big, but it was the Shimazu family iron cannon manufacturing center and Shimazu family furnishing city. Even the Satsuma family can be called Kagoshima family. It can be seen that it is important to the Shimazu family. This is the foundation and hope of the Shimazu family.
At this moment, Kagoshima Castle is empty.
It was not that the Shimazu family was afraid, but that they deeply understood the power of the Ming cannon. I had only heard of it before, but I had truly seen it at Xiang Gaocheng. Only a few gates were enough to knock on the city. How many gates do the Ming army have now?
No one knows it, it can't be counted at all.
Although the Shimazu family was brave, they were not fools. Naturally, they knew that fighting the Ming army in Kagoshima Castle was simply seeking death. Therefore, they made up their minds to give up Kagoshima Castle.
From the beginning, they felt that Kagoshima could not be defended. So they took away everything on Kagoshima, leaving only an empty city. However, it was their home, and they couldn't bear to burn it, and the building structure was basically complete.
But under the Ming Dynasty's artillery bombardment, everything disappeared. Looking at the grass and trees he had originally created, they turned into ashes under the Ming Dynasty's artillery fire. I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my heart, let alone this battle to establish authority, so Yu Dayou was very generous with ammunition, just like a demonstration, causing all the cannons to be fired in a round. It was simply a situation where the sky collapsed and the sea split.
Not to mention that the Japanese have never seen such a scene, even the Ming soldiers have rarely seen it. After all, cannons, shells, and gunpowder all cost money. It is impossible to do it like this.
After the violent shelling, the Ming army then dropped the boat and began to land. They wanted to occupy Kagoshima Castle. Without anyone to stop them, the Ming army would be able to enter Kagoshima Castle tonight.
Shimazu Yoshihisa watched all this. He was silent for a long time, watching Kagoshima Castle occupied by the Ming army, and watching the Shimazu family built a stalwart city that was easily conquered by the Ming people in several generations. He felt all kinds of feelings and mixed feelings in his heart. He turned around and looked at the generals around him. There were even some elderly generals who even had been stabbed several times and would not cry, but at this moment there were tears in his eyes.
Kagoshima is not only their home, but also a spiritual symbol of the Satsuma family and Shimazu family.
Shimazu Yoshihisa said: "The Ming army captured Kagoshima not the end of the war, but the beginning of the war. We will definitely come back and will definitely expel the Ming Kou. It is not cowardice, but another kind of courage and courageous choice to fight the enemy where to do so. Even sacrifice must be useful. We cannot sacrifice for nothing."
"Everything will be done as planned."
"Hi." The generals of the Shimazu family saluted one after another.
Shimazu Yoshihisa once again turned his eyes to Kagoshima Castle and found that a flag with sun and moon had risen above it. In other words, the Ming Dynasty had completed the occupation of Kagoshima.
Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at the flag and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. If the eyes were substantial, the flag would have been riddled with holes.
In fact, Shimazu Yoshihiro and his younger brother Shimazu Yoshihiro have many objections to abandon Kagoshima. If the two brothers had not just won a big victory and were convinced by Shimazu, this decision would have been difficult to implement.
But even Shimazu Yoshihisa never expected that Akito's artillery was so fierce and lasting.
The shelling of Kagoshima left a permanent and indelible shadow on the Satsuma clan.
Leave countless questions to the two famous generals of the Shimazu family?
It made the Shimazu family unanimous, no longer stick to the coast, and wanted to fight the Ming Dynasty in other places, but Shimazu Yoshihisa's inner belief was somewhat shaken. He thought silently in his heart: "Can you really defeat this enemy that looks like a god?"
“Is my choice really wrong?”
Before this, Shimazu Yoshihisa always felt that the right time, place, people and people were in me. Even if the Ming army was strong, they could still be driven away. But at this moment he was confused.
"Big Brother." Shimazu Yoshihiro said: "Everyone is gone."
Shimazu Yoshihisa retracted her eyes and said, "Okay. Let's go."
As a general, no matter how much confusion is in his heart, he cannot reveal any part of it. Shimazu Yoshihisa has done a good job in this regard.
