Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 679 Kyushu War 4 Part [-]

After receiving the order to retreat, Satsuma's army rushed to pack up their equipment as if they were receiving an amnesty, and withdrew from the battlefield as quickly as possible.They dared not defend Kagoshima Castle even if they were beaten to death. The artillery of the Ming army was too terrifying to defend at all. If they stayed in Kagoshima Castle, they would only be blasted to pieces, so they withdrew to the Osumi Country. Bar.

Yuan Zongdi was a little puzzled: "Retreat so soon? What the hell are you doing?"

Ge Weier, a member of the Tiger Battalion, asked: "Do you want to pursue them? We can catch up with them and kill another 2000 of them."

Yuan Zongdi said: "I still don't want it. The superior ordered us to take the beachhead and cover the landing of the army. We have to follow the command and not fight indiscriminately."

Gawail muttered: "It's boring!"

At this time, the army landed one after another, and the Satsuma clan never launched a counterattack. It was obvious that they had no intention of driving the landed coalition forces into the sea.The Dutch sailors were the last to land, and as soon as they landed, they opened up their posture to attack Kagoshima Castle. Wu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, don't rush to take Kagoshima Castle, let's surround it first, and see Shimadzu Are those bastards at home really so cruel that they leave these tens of thousands of people alone and run away!"

Colonel Mays said: "You Chinese, you are full of bad water!"

Wu Sheng smiled and directed the engineers to work around Kagoshima.

At this time, Kagoshima City has gradually returned to calm, and samurai have stepped onto the city wall one after another, preparing to guard the city that has been bombed into a mess by rockets.However, they were surprised to see that the Ming army did not attack the city, but buried their heads in repairing the earth. With countless shovels of engineering shovels, shovels of soil were raised, and a long trench spread at an alarming speed. Starting from the pier, the entire Kagoshima City was circled in!Not only that, but the Ming army also built up all the excavated soil on their side to form an earth wall. The 1.6-meter-deep and three-meter-wide trench plus the 1.6-meter-high earth wall formed a Great Wall above ground. It is said that the day when the Great Wall closes is the day when Kagoshima will die!
That’s not counting, probably because they found that the sand on the beach is free, and the Ming army unloaded a large number of sacks from the ship to fill it with sand, and then piled the sandbags in the direction facing Shimadzu Nyushi’s retreat, creating a 3000-meter-long line. meters of sand dam!By the way, there are not many apple trees around Kagoshima Castle. The apples on them were originally a good product enjoyed by dignitaries, but now they are all picked by the Ming army. It constitutes a deer village with a width of ten meters.Even the bamboo guns discarded by Zhu Qing when he fled were not wasted, they were cut into bamboo sticks and stuck in the trenches, whoever fell would end up with a gut-wrenching gut!

A trench cut off the possibility of the soldiers and civilians of Kagoshima City breaking out of the siege, and a sand bar and deer village blocked the route of the Satsuma army's night attack. Now the Ming army can set up camp with confidence.They happily set up tents, dug drainage ditches and diversion ditches, and then threw sandbags wildly. The residents of Kagoshima City were horrified to see that their water source was cut off and flowed to the Ming army camp!

This is the end. Kagoshima City is close to the sea, and nine of the ten wells drilled are salt water wells. The drinking water of the entire city residents depends on the spring water flowing down from the mountains. Now that the water source has been cut off, they may only drink sea water. It's time!
The Ming army did not spare the nearby villages and towns, and sent cavalry to loot everywhere. Wherever they went, the houses were burned, the food was robbed, and the chickens and ducks were killed. They were the legendary locusts that did not grow anywhere they went!These cavalry reaped a lot, bringing back a lot of food, vegetables, and fruits. If they were lucky, they even captured a lot of women. This was the most popular trophy among the soldiers.It's just that there is a kind of spoils that they don't like!
Wu Sheng looked at the urn of long white moldy beans with a tangled face, and called, "What the hell is this? It's moldy and still hidden like a treasure. Can I eat it!?"

Yang Menglong said: "You are still not convinced! This is natto, a traditional Japanese delicacy!"

Wu Sheng retched and said, "You're just giving me delicious food like this!" He waved his hand and said, "We can't eat this stuff. Let's give it to Yuan Zongdi and see if he wants it."

So hundreds of urns of natto were sent to Yuan Zongdi.

Yuan Zongdi grabbed a handful and looked at it again and again, his face twisted into a ball.He picked up a few pieces and put them in his mouth, and when he saw that they were in his mouth, he retracted them again, and then sent them, and then retracted... Finally, he still gave up. After a year of living with fish and meat, his stomach could no longer There is no way to accept this kind of food. He waved his hand and said, "We can't eat this stuff. Give it to the groom to see if it can be used to feed the horses!"

Hundreds of jars of natto were sent to the groom, who threw them all into the sea.Feed this thing to the war horse?Just kidding, who will be the one to feed the horse if it is good or bad!
Natto-kun, a traditional Japanese delicacy, has finally realized its own value in the belly of the fish... I just don't know if the fish in the sea like them or not.

Of course, most of the trophies brought back by the cavalry are quite popular, such as fruits, vegetables and fat chickens, which are rare delicacies for people who have been at sea for such a long time.The taste of rice produced in Japan is also quite good. Although it is a little less, it is more than enough to feed [-] people.After a busy day, the Ming army happily held lunch boxes filled with fluffy rice, gathered around the army pots that were stewed on the fire, picked up their favorite dishes, and devoured them with great pleasure!
While eating, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. A dozen Japanese warriors came from a distance on fast horses with white flags. The flags in their hands were waving, indicating that they were military envoys and wanted to see the Ming army generals.After receiving the report, Yang Meng didn't even raise his head, and continued to eat with a sigh of relief: "Let them wait first!"

As a result, the unlucky Japanese envoy had no choice but to stay outside the position and continue to wave the white flag.

Alfonso poured half a glass of wine down his throat, clicked his lips, and asked, "Did the Japanese raise the white flag so quickly to admit defeat?"

Yang Menglong said: "Admit defeat, they don't admit defeat so easily. These two gangsters will not turn back until they hit their heads and bleed!"

Alfonso was a little puzzled: "Then why did they raise the white flag?"

Yang Menglong said: "I was beaten up for no reason. If it were you, you would send a military envoy to ask why you were beaten up."

Alfonso suddenly realized.

Finally, the bastard was full, drank another cup of black tea, burped, and said lazily, "Let them in."

Zaghi rushed out to Weng and brought in those hapless Japanese military envoys.

"Shimadzu's retainer Huashan is very old, see General Shangguo!"

Speaking Chinese is quite standard.

Yang Menglong raised his hand and said, "Get up."

Huashan Haogu kowtowed again and said: "We have seen the invincible heroic appearance of the iron-blooded army under the general, but we still don't know the name of the general of the country. Please enlighten me!"

Yang Menglong said: "If you don't want to change your name, if you don't want to change your surname, Yang Menglong!"

Huashan Haogu's eyelids twitched wildly: "The champion of Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Menglong was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Huashan Haogu said respectfully: "In the battle of Lushun, the champion Hou defeated the crowd with a few, and after he was defeated, he won [-] cavalry and killed the barbarians in Jianzhou. The blood flowed like a river, and the world was shaken. Xun, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" The conversation changed: "It's just that the villain doesn't know. I have no quarrel with the champion Hou Su in Japan. On the contrary, there are many businessmen who maintain good cooperative relations with you. Why do you want to cooperate with me?" Suddenly turn around and lead an army to conquer Japan?"

Yang Menglong yawned, and said lazily, "Do I need to find a reason to beat you?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the Japanese samurai were furious and jumped up holding the handle of their swords.Huashan Haogu's face was as red as a pig's liver, and his voice became sharp: "Your Excellency, don't bully people too much! Although our country is not as powerful as Ming Dynasty, we are not easy to bully! Your Excellency led the army to Japan for no reason. If you come to burn, kill, and loot, you won't be afraid of the ridicule of the whole world!"

Yang Menglong said: "All of you are shamelessly rowing canoes to the south of the Yangtze River to burn, kill and loot. What face do I need? Let me tell you, I am shameless, do you understand?"

Huashan Haogu's neck thickened several times, and he pointed at Yang Menglong and called, "You——"

Yang Menglong yawned again, and said, "Well, if you insist on asking me to find a reason to beat you up, I'll just find one. That...you sent troops to occupy Boni Kingdom 23 years ago. Do you admit it?"

Huashan Haogu's face turned from red to white—no, it's time to settle accounts after the fall!He irrationally said: "This happened more than 20 years ago, and Daming didn't say anything at that time!"

Yang Menglong snorted: "I didn't say anything at the time because we were busy and couldn't take care of you! Now that I'm free, I naturally have to sort out the old messes, those who should be spanked, those who should be spanked, and those who should be spanked. Otherwise, some people will not know who is the boss. Boni is Daming's barrier, and if you invade Boni, you will slap Daming in the face, and the consequences will be serious, you know?"

Huashan Haogu's brow was sweating, and he said: "I know, I know! When the villain goes back, he must ask the governor to reflect on himself, and send a big gift to Shangguo to make amends!"

Yang Menglong called: "You want to send us away with a little gift? Do you think we are beggars?"

The sweat on Huashan Haogu's forehead became denser: "Then what should we do to calm the general and withdraw his troops?"

Yang Menglong said: "You want us to withdraw our troops? Simple! First, you have to withdraw your troops from Boni. No soldiers can be left!"

Huashan Haogu cried out: "This is impossible!"

Yang Menglong ignored him, and continued: "After you withdraw your troops, you still have to compensate the Boni Kingdom with 200 million taels of silver!"

Huashan Haogu roared angrily: "Why don't you go grab it!"

Yang Menglong said: "I'm robbing! By the way, don't get excited, there is the last one. After you withdraw your troops, you have to pay half of the grain to Daming every year as our military compensation... For the time being, it's these three things. I will discuss the rest. I haven’t thought of it yet, I’ll let you know when I think of it.”

Huashan took a few deep breaths, and his whole body swelled up, so that Yang Menglong was a little worried, this buddy wouldn't explode, right?Fortunately, although Huashan Haogu was so angry that he was about to explode, it was not a human bomb after all, and it didn't explode.He stared at Yang Menglong, his voice was calm, but filled with endless anger and resentment: "Is this the general's condition?"

Yang Menglong looked serious: "Yes."

Huashan Haogu gritted his teeth and said: "The general is determined to eat our Satsuma clan, right?"

Yang Menglong shrugged and said, "If you want to think like this, I can't help it."

Huashan Haogu let out a roar: "We cannot accept such conditions!"

Yang Menglong said: "Then what's the point, go back and prepare for the battle!"

Huashan Haogu stared at Yang Menglong, and said, "Don't be complacent, the bones of Yuan Bandits in Boduo Bay will be your fate!"

After speaking, walk away!

The first negotiation lasted only 5 minutes.
