Domineering Daming

This is the place where the Ming Dynasty has been operating for many years as the foundation, and it is the place where the bane threatens the survival of the Wa country!

Aoyama Tadatoshi's eyes only occasionally skipped Shimabara, and what he kept staring at was the Satsuma domain.

The Satsuma clan shrunk sharply, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, which made Tadatoshi Aoyama very vigilant.

Jia Lao Shanxian and Yi knelt beside him and said, "Dian, the Ming people are afraid that they will support Shimabara."

Aoyama Tadatoshi's expression was as cold as iron, and he said: "The question is, what are the Ming people going to do? There are 15 Ming troops on Tsushima Island and Ezo Island. They have been silent for a month. What exactly do they want to do? "

According to their guess, there are no more than three places where the Ming people landed. The first is from Tsushima Island to the Hizen Domain, and the second is from Kagoshima, from south to north.The third is to go out from Ezo Island and land in Mutsu Fan, from north to south.

With such a clear strategy, why did the Ming Dynasty not move for a long time?The Ming people waited for three years, and the Wa country also waited for three years. How could the other party have such patience at this moment?

Or, the Ming Dynasty is planning more plans... What is the conspiracy?

Shanxianheyi pondered, and said: "Dian, I think we should preemptively strike. It is difficult to win if we are controlled everywhere."

Aoyama Tadatoshi said: "Well, I have already discussed with the inner government that the soldiers will be controlled in Kagoshima, but before that, Shimabara's heresy must be produced first."

The Shimabara Peninsula is almost at the waist of Kyukoku Island, and at the same time it can land from the sea. If it is not eradicated, Tadatoshi Aoyama will not be able to go south with all his strength.

Shan Xianhe said with a look of expression: "Dian, the current Shimabara City has a tall wall and is equipped with firearms from the Ming Dynasty. If you want to attack it by force, you may suffer a lot of losses. I am also worried that Itakura Palace will repeat the same mistakes. Shimabara could not be captured."

Aoyama Zhongjun glanced at him, a ruthlessness appeared on his face as cold as iron, and said: "He will definitely attack!"

Shan County and Yi nodded slightly, and then said again: "Then, how should Kagoshima deal with it?"

Tadatoshi Aoyama said: "Order Kato to lead 2 people, push forward slowly, and first test the purpose of Mingren."

"Yes." Shanxian agreed.

Shanxian and Yijiang advanced forward, while Zuo Liangyu in Kagoshima retreated, clearing the field and leaving nothing behind.

Both sides are equally cautious and restrained, and there is no aggressive behavior or behavior that misunderstands the other party.

The Mutsu Clan and Matsudaira Nobutsuna were as silent as water, as if they hadn't arrived, and only Date Masamune's famous names were known to the outside world.

The opposite bank, Ezo Island, is equally calm, with no official ships or merchant ships coming and going, as quiet as a deep pool.

Edo was also very quiet. Apart from collecting summer grain and mobilizing more samurai, the entire Wa country seemed to be the same as usual, and did not feel at all that a war of annihilating the country had begun.

The Hongwu is passing through the strait between Kagoshima and Osumi, heading for Shikoku Island.

Behind them, in addition to a hundred warships, there were two to three hundred ships of various sizes, standing or sitting on them, all of which were human heads—Jian slave cavalry!

In addition to Dorgon's, there are also some miscellaneous soldiers such as Annan, with a total of 5 people, who are looking at Shikoku Island eagerly.

At this stall, Tokugawa Akihide, Sakai Tadakatsu and a group of people finally resisted the capital and contacted the Foreign Affairs Bureau first.

Xue Zhengqing, the deputy head of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, is currently in charge of the affairs of the capital. Hearing the terms of the peace talks brought by Akihide Tokugawa, he can be described as stunned.

It is unprecedented that the Wa country actually wants to use their empress to marry them!

Xue Zhengqing didn't dare to act presumptuously, and hurriedly entered the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Xu was accompanying a few children to class. Hearing Xue Zhengqing's return, he walked out of the classroom, stood under the eaves, rubbed his chin, and laughed a little ridiculously.

Seeing Zhu Xu's expression, Xue Zhengqing said with deep hatred: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country is not well-educated and has no understanding of ethics. I believe that we should go to war today to save the people of the Japanese country from suffering."

Zhu Xu was very satisfied with Xue Zhengqing's attitude, and said: "Well, you go to the cabinet and have a chat with Mr. Sun Ge. The negotiation is procrastinating. I want to see how much bargaining chip Tokugawa Iemitsu has to pay to delay the time." .”

Xue Zhengqing raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Xue Zhengqing turned to the cabinet, and Sun Chuanting's attitude was the same as Zhu Xu's, just ignoring it and dragging it casually.

After Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu heard the news, they immediately sent a letter to Yang Sichang, ordering him to step up the war and not give the Tokugawa shogunate any more time.

Yang Sichang was ordered, and a series of secret letters were sent out, surrounding the country of Wa, moving rapidly in all directions.

At the same time, Cao Bianjiao's fleet sailed into the strait between Shikoku Island and Honguku Island, and a cannon shot shocked both sides of the strait!

Chapter 1336 Victory and Defeat

Yang Sichang, Badali and others stood on the shore of the Tsugaru Strait, looking at the other side.

Badari said: "Commander, let's just wait and see, don't we kill them?"

Badali took Horqin and the Mongolian tribes with [-] allied troops to fight with the Ming Dynasty and listened to Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang put down his binoculars, and said: "Those Xiyi artillery on the other side were all stolen from pirates. Although they are far inferior to my Ming's, they are still somewhat powerful. If we land on a ferry, we will suffer a lot of losses."

Badali is also considered a forward general this time, so he naturally understands the current situation very clearly.Daming occupied Ezo three years ago, and the Wa Kingdom was prepared for Daming to go south from here. Fortresses were built at the landing sites on the opposite bank, and artillery from Xiyi was deployed. If you want to go ashore, you have to pay a lot of money. .

The key point is that they are landlubbers in the desert, and they are not used to water, so their combat power on the ship is inherently reduced by half.

Even though he knew this, Badali was still unwilling.

Horqin no longer has the threat of Chahar, but the Khalkha Tripartite is on top of them again. If they are protected by Ming tomorrow, their life will be very difficult.They have received too many benefits from Daming, and they must return something!

Badalley looked at the calm strait, hesitated for a while, and said, "Commander, then we can't just stay here and watch, can we?"

Although Badali is a Horqin Khan who accepted the canonization of the two-character king of Ming Dynasty, and his younger sister is still a concubine in the palace, his posture is quite low, without the slightest rebelliousness.

Yang Sichang already had an idea of ​​the war strategy against the Wa Kingdom in his heart, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Wa Kingdom will be in chaos, so we can do things better."

As soon as Yang Sichang finished speaking, Qian Jinxiao came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are people from the other side of the Wa country."

Yang Sichang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Whose is it?"

"It's from several vassal states, and there are also people from Date." Qian Jinxiao said in a low voice.

Yang Sichang wasn't surprised at all, and said: "You go and see them, put the price down first, and put some pressure on them. These people are sitting on the fence now, and it's not time for them to really surrender."

Qian Jinxiao understood, and said, "I understand."

Yang Sichang turned his gaze to that side, and said, "Dorgon, is it time to go ashore soon? You can inform the Military Intelligence Department and spread the word. For some famous names, especially those foreign ones, you can try to get in touch with them."

Qian Jinxiao raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Yang Sichang held a silver saber in his hand, which was a symbol of his status, and his eyes were burning.

He has been silent for too long, especially after staying in the South China Sea for several years, many people in Daming have forgotten about him.

This battle is destined to be an excellent opportunity for him to make a name for himself and enter the imperial court again!

This battle must be won beautifully and cleanly!

Cao Bianjiao's fleet sailed into the strait of Shikoku Island. With such a large fleet, at this time, there was a panic on both sides of the strait.
