My Daming New Empire

When Daming's fleet arrived at the predetermined area, Feng Baoqi was extremely surprised when he saw the chained ships stretching for miles.

Later, the Japanese organized two small-scale harassment tactics, trying to burn some of the ships. Unfortunately, facing the muskets of the Ming army, they couldn't get close at all.

After losing dozens of corpses, they could only retreat in despair.

As for Tanabe Jiro, a hero in Daming's eyes and a sinner in the eyes of the Japanese, he disappeared as early as the beginning of the battle.

No one knew whether he was dead or alive. He fled in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor. He just jumped into the river with his Japanese sword in his hand.

It wasn't until this time that everyone discovered a problem, that is, the navy had originally prepared 500 back sailors to sail back to these ships, but they thought there were too many ships, and now there is a shortage of manpower.

Feng Baoqi discussed with Liu Dingshan, a garrison of the Navy's First Fleet, and could only continue to tie two or three ships together, preparing to sail back.

Because it is going down the river, as long as you are at the helm, you don't have to worry about sailing.

Looking at the four or five hundred river boats, Feng Baoqi was full of pride. Not only did the losses in this operation be slight, but only a few people were killed, yet such a large result was obtained. This is definitely a great achievement.

But they were proud of the spring breeze, while Zhuang Jing and Habayashi Wei on the other side encountered the most difficult battle since the beginning of the war.

Daisaku Kadogawa, who fled back to the family base, knew that his actions could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the wise, and when he returned home, he began to transfer property, the elderly, the weak, women and children before dawn.

Then, he took out a part of the silver left by the family specially, and piled it in the castle square of the Kami Shibukawa's ancestral home.

When the sky was just dawning, all the warriors and civilians who depended on the family for their livelihoods were also summoned, and everyone distributed gold, silver and food in turn to boost morale and fight to the death with the Ming people.

The peasants who couldn't get enough to eat on weekdays received food and silver, and their relatives were sent to a safe place. Coupled with the threat of Dasaku Kadokawa, they were quickly assembled and their morale was strong.

But Dasaku Kadokawa is very clear that these people don't know the power of firearms. Although they seem powerful now, facing firearms, I don't know how many people still have the courage to fight.

But he couldn't help but take a gamble, and he had to gamble on the fate of the family. The bet was that Daming would not take care of Shen Shibukawa for the time being, and the bet was that other generals and daimyos could work with him to contain Mingren.

As long as the seeds are not destroyed, his Menchuan family will definitely be able to rise again.But if he hears the news and flees now, his family will no longer have a foothold in Dongpu.

Man has never been a solitary animal, and he will never become a climate if he fights alone.

A family must follow the development laws of an era and a world, and live within the scope of the system, in order to adapt to and even use this power.

Although Dasaku Kadogawa believed that Japan would suffer a blow that was hard to come by the year before last, he did not think that Ming would be able to subvert the social system that had existed in Japan for thousands of years.

As long as this system is not destroyed, the Kadokawa family, as the backbone, will still have a chance to recover.

Therefore, he had to make a gesture to resist the aggression of the Ming people.

But he never thought that the revenge would come so quickly.In less than a day since he fled back, Daming's army had already approached the city.

The Kadogawa family’s Kamishibugawa Castle is just a small city, with walls less than three miles around and three meters high. Except for one side facing the water, the moats on the other three sides have been turned into shops and warehouses during the family’s hundreds of years of development.

Daming's army came so fast, he could only concentrate his combat power and did not take any defensive measures at all.

Those stones, those gold juices, those bows and arrows, and those weapons that could cause damage to the Ming army have not been used yet.

But when things came to an end, he could only face these menacing Ming soldiers with the solemnity of sacrificing himself for benevolence.

Of course, Zhao Yongliang also knows the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast. He just came to wipe out the Menchuan family, not to quell civil unrest in a certain place. The faster the action, the better.

If you fall into the tide of the Japanese people, it is impossible to win the final victory with just two thousand soldiers and one thousand Japanese pirates.

Therefore, when the army entered Kami Shibukawa, he called Sho Jing and Hayata Zaemon to his front.In front of Zaemon Hayata, he was not polite at all, and said directly: "I don't care what you people fought in the past, but today, the battle is the most important thing, and the war will not end. There are people who burn and kill looters, and kill without mercy. , Anyone who flees will be killed without mercy. When the war is over, the army is allowed to plunder for one day, [-]% of all harvest will be handed over, and [-]% will be kept for oneself. If anyone hides property privately, they will be killed without mercy.”

Hayata Zaemon's face was a bit ugly, of course he knew who his subordinates were. Under such strict military regulations, it is unknown how many people would die for money.

However, he could only nod his head stiffly and convey Zhao Yongliang's order.

Because of their strong restraint, the army did not delay entering Shenshichuan, and drove directly to the gate tower of the Kadokawa family.

This was originally the place where their family issued orders. There was a small square surrounded by the family's shops, but at this time, everyone had fled into the inner city or evacuated, and most of the shops were closed.

Zhao Yongliang waved his left hand, and the messenger waved the yellow flag. Everyone gathered in the square, sat down and rested, and checked their own firearms and ammunition.

They originally reserved 500 people for defense, but in order to concentrate their strength, the Menchuan family did not send out a harassment team at all.

The army rested for about a quarter of an hour. Due to the limited strength, it was only divided into two groups and attacked from the east and south.

The main force of the attack is the Japanese pirates, supplemented by the Habayashi Guards, and another [-] Habayashi Guards are in charge of security, and [-] Habayashi Guards are used as a reserve army.

Although the Japanese pirates only had Japanese swords and spears, there were Habayashi guards in the formation, and all rebels who dared to take the lead were shot to death, so even if they were attacking the city, they did not suffer much resistance.

A pack of explosives weighing more than ten kilograms was moved by several Japanese pirates to the gate of the inner city of Shenshichuan. Regardless of the bluestone ground at the gate, they used a crowbar to pry up a piece of bluestone and put the pack of explosives in.

Although they don't understand physical shock waves and shock waves, the Ming army of this era already has a very complete method of using explosives, knowing that explosives are more powerful in a closed environment.

A soldier of the Ming Dynasty connected the coiled lead wire into the explosive bag, and several people retreated quickly while wiring.

The fuse of the explosive package was ten meters long. When the fuse was ignited, several of them ran back quickly.

During this process, due to Daming's suppression of firearms, the people on the city wall did not dare to stand up, and they did not suffer any attacks.

Seeing that the fuse was ignited, the Ming soldiers who were in charge of holding down the formation also retreated quickly, 50 meters away.

They don't want to have their eardrums ruptured because they are too close, and they will be dizzy and unable to eat for a few days.

In the past several practice battles, many unlucky people got too close because of curiosity, and were stunned as a result.

The fuse was burning rapidly, and the Japanese people on the city wall were still a little curious. They didn't understand why the Ming soldiers retreated as soon as they attacked. They gathered at the city tower curiously, looking down.

There was a loud bang, followed by the tremor of the earth and the rise of dust all over the sky.

A large number of Japanese gathered on the tower, and they felt as if their bodies were light, and they seemed to fly into the sky.

The loud noise and vibration made almost everyone stunned, and their brains lost the ability to think.

But in the distance, countless Japanese people knelt down one after another.In their view, such a movement cannot be caused by human beings, and they only thought it was a punishment from heaven.

The scattered Japanese pirates and Ming soldiers quickly gathered again. The place where the city wall was originally located has now been blasted into a big gap.

The city gate was originally filled with sacks filled with mud, but now it has also been blown up and turned into an undefended passage.

The most miserable ones were the Japanese gathered at the city gate. Most of them were bleeding from their facial features, lying on the ground moaning in pain, and some were vomiting violently.

The Japanese pirates with red cloth wrapped around their left arms and square scarves on their heads rushed forward one by one. The head of each person was military merit, silver, and a woman.

Only by getting more heads can they reduce their sentences and enjoy all the luxuries they desire.

Even when their military exploits reached a certain level, they could throw away the Japanese swords and directly pick up muskets to fight like soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Some Japanese even regard becoming a Ming Dynasty as their ultimate dream, and they look forward to becoming a Ming Dynasty one day in the future.

Of course, this road is extremely difficult.
