Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

He has been ruthless against Japanese pirates since he was a child, and when he grows up, he regards Japanese pirates as a dynasty. No, Jin Chengkai, who is Daming's number one mortal enemy, has already discovered the vicious Japanese pirates not long after he rushed to the beach.

These Japanese pirates rushed out of a grove near the pier of Xuanjie Island - the grove and the nearby pier were just blasted by the rocket team, and now there are still flames coming out, I don't know what was hit fire?Those pirates had lined up in the woods before, and I don't know if it counts as an ambush?But it must have been discovered by the assault boat that covered Jin Chengkai's landing, and they were bombarded. Now that they saw the Ming army landing, they rushed up in disorder, which is admirable for their courage.There are also a few guys with samurai swords who should be officers. Seeing the people rushing around like that, I know it's not good. They are shouting "Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah".Hearing the yelling of these officers, those Japanese ashigaru carrying shotguns and long guns were obedient, so they quickly turned around and started to form a team.It looked a little tricky, but in front of the two hundred soldiers led by Jin Chengkai, he was completely vulnerable.

While the Japanese pirates were busy lining up, the [-] North Korean grenadiers under Jin Chengkai had already formed a slender two-column shooting formation-because Japan did not have an organized cavalry unit, it was planned to enter the Japanese battlefield. The infantry leaders under the five North Korean Ming army towns have canceled the formation of pikemen and changed them to all flintlock guns.

Soon, about two hundred grenadiers were lined up in two horizontal lines to maximize firepower, and all the flintlocks were inserted with bayonets.

Seeing that his subordinates had finished lining up, Jin Chengkai raised a binoculars and began to observe the Japanese army array ahead.

The Japanese army numbered about four to five hundred, most of them were pikemen, forming a square formation.Among them, there were forty or fifty musketeers, and they formed a very loose three-row horizontal line in front of the phalanx. Jin Chengkai knew that it was the three-stage strike that Japanese musketeers were best at.

Before the flintlock was popularized, it was a very powerful tactic, but now that there are flintlocks that can form a dense formation and fire, what kind of three-stage attack and four-stage attack are simply vulnerable!

"Beat the drum, march!"

After feeling that the Japanese pirates' three-stage attack was not powerful, Jin Chengkai immediately gave the order to move forward.

"Dong dong dong dong", the two drummers immediately beat the drums, playing a fast-paced rhythm. As the drums sounded, the Korean Ming soldiers who had already become veterans of the battlefield first stood still, and then After Jin Chengkai's saber pointed at the front, he stepped on neat steps and made a neat stepping sound, walking forward.

"Blah blah blah..."

Not long after the North Korean and Ming troops walked out, the Japanese musketeers on the opposite side started shooting—they only had forty or fifty musketeers, and they were divided into three rows, with more than a dozen muskets in each row... This firepower is really not enough worth mentioning.Not to mention compared with the current Ming army, even compared with the Qing army before the rise of the new Ming Dynasty, it is not enough.At that time, the Qing army's musketeers, the infantry soldiers, usually accounted for [-] to [-]% of the infantry!

Moreover, the Qing army also had quite powerful cavalry and some interesting artillery (the artillery of the Eight Banners is very strong, but the green battalion is not good)... That is to say, even before the rise of Zhu Heqi, the Japanese samurai under the Tokugawa shogunate In fact, the army could not beat the Qing army, let alone the Ming army today.

Although the individual quality of those Japanese soldiers is acceptable, they are relatively brave, and their literacy rate is quite high...but their equipment and tactics are not enough to look at.

By the way, the marksmanship of those samurai musketeers is really not very good. Their first and second salvos were all empty, and the third salvo managed to hit a North Korean Ming army without killing them. , just hit the man's arm, and it was another hero to rescue him.

After discovering that the marksmanship of the Japanese pirates was poor, the Korean Ming soldiers who fought against Japan all the way to Japan became more courageous and kept firing. With a high speed, against the waves of sparse bullets from the opposite side, he quickly approached the Japanese pirates in front of him.

And these Japanese pirates don't know what the Ming army wants to do when they only get beaten but don't fight back?So there was no intention of retreating. Instead, when the Ming army approached thirty or forty steps away from their formation, they simply stopped the three-stage attack that could not kill a few people, withdrew the musketeers, and sent those who were less than four hundred The pikemen stepped up.

These pikemen formed a large square formation, and with the sound of horns, they began to charge towards the Ming army with their long spears.

Seeing this scene, Jin Chengkai knew that he had won... It turned out that those Japanese pirates who killed without batting an eye just existed in the stories of grandparents!

Thinking of this, Jin Chengkai calmly and loudly ordered: "Stop..."

"Wow..."

With the sound of orderly footsteps, all the more than [-] North Korean Ming grenadiers stopped advancing, stood up straight, and maintained a very tight formation.

"Gun down!"

Jin Chengkai gave another order.

The more than two hundred flintlock guns were all leveled by the grenadiers, and the bayonet-mounted guns pointed straight ahead, but no one fired.Everyone just watched calmly as the yelling Japanese pirate spear ashi lightly rushed towards them.

Jin Chengkai raised his saber high, and at the same time calculated the distance in his heart, when the Japanese pirates rushing to the front were less than [-] steps away from him, he suddenly swung his saber down and shouted at the same time: "Fight! "

"boom……"

Although there were only two hundred muskets firing in volley, there was still the sound of shelling, and the dense bullet rain composed of two hundred lead bullets was no less powerful than the shotgun shells fired by several six-pound guns at a distance of twenty steps. .The Japanese pirates rushing to the front of the row were almost all knocked to the ground with long spears, and there was a hoarse scream from the front of the Japanese army.And those surviving Japanese pirates were also shocked by the scene in front of them, they all subconsciously stopped moving forward, just stood there blankly.

"Grenade!"

Jin Chengkai did not order the grenadiers to reload, but let them throw a round of grenades... A short-range volley and a round of sugar grenades, the Japanese ashigaru troops in front of them almost collapsed!

Japanese pirates... that's all!

And Ming Kou will soon become their Ming father!

Chapter 683 What about the original taste?

"Attach the bayonet...forward!"

Jin Chengkai couldn't wait for the grenades to explode, but after waiting for a while, he gave a loud roar and gave the order to "mount the bayonet and move forward" - this tactic is the same as firing a volley of muskets at close range, and he is not afraid of being thrown out by himself The accidental injury of the grenade is to take advantage of the chaos of the enemy after the grenade is blown up to launch an assault.

The game is fate, and the fight is ruthless!

Before the Japanese pirates who had just been fired at close range could react, nearly [-] grenades fell like hail from the sky, causing the Japanese pirates to shout "Ba Ga", "Ba Ga".

But this group of Japanese pirates who didn't know the power of sugar medicine didn't know how to run away after scolding, and they were still standing there... They are warriors, how could warriors run away so shamelessly?And they also saw the Ming army on the opposite side coming up with a bayonet-mounted flintlock gun.

Those flintlock guns are not long even with bayonets, so they must not be able to stab a long gun!

So this group of undead Japanese pirates didn't run away at this time, and they wanted to resist... But they didn't think long before the grenade exploded. More than 100 grenades exploded into a sea of ​​flames among the crowd, and the deadly shrapnel was everywhere. Flying around, the Japanese pirate ashigaru fell to the ground piece by piece like mowing grass.

Those Japanese pirates who hadn't been killed by the bombing or the previous musket volley finally collapsed and stopped shouting "Ba Ga", and turned around crying for their father and mother and ran into the woods.

Of course, Jin Chengkai and his men will not let the Japanese pirates go...how can they let the Japanese pirates go?You have to fight the Japanese to the end!

Thinking of this, Jin Chengkai roared again: "Bayonet assault! Kill..."

……

This is not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. It is one side pressing the other side on the ground and rubbing repeatedly!

If the armies of various countries in this era are divided according to their firepower, the most powerful is undoubtedly the "high-sugar army" represented by the Tianming soldiers; the second-class is the "low-sugar army" represented by the westward Qing soldiers. "; lower than "low sugar" is "sugar-free high gunpowder". The armies of Western countries and the Ottoman Empire have at least this level; and the weaker ones are "sugar-free and low gunpowder" armies. The Japanese samurai army belongs to the "no sugar and low gunpowder" army, and because Japan is very short of horses, their army still lacks cavalry that can be used to cover the battlefield and launch horseback assaults... The Japanese samurai army at this time The only thing worthy of praise is the fighting will and personal bravery of the warriors.

But facing the Ming Army who was three ranks higher and had experienced many wars, their fighting will and bravery were nothing to mention.

Therefore, the Hakata Bay landing battle that took place on June [-]th in the third year of the Grand Duke showed a one-sided situation from the very beginning.Not only the North Korean Ming army grenadiers who landed on Xuanjie Island used a round of short-range musket salvos, plus a wave of sugar grenades and a final bayonet assault, they easily eliminated twice as many Japanese pirates as them.The Simultaneous Landing on Shiga Island and the Battle of Kai Nakamichi, as well as the Landing Battle at Tangbo Port and the Landing Battle at Nokono Island launched later, all have exactly the same taste!

It is crushing, it is rubbing the Japanese pirates on the ground. Although the samurai of the Kuroda family fought bravely on all the above-mentioned battlefields, their equipment was backward, their tactics were outdated, and at the same time they adopted untimely "" "Regular warfare" - although Zhu Heqi called them "Japanese pirates", they are not the same as the Japanese pirates who invaded the coast of Daming from time to time in the early years. They are serious warriors.

In the final analysis, samurai wars are still "aristocratic wars". They either fight in the field with a clear banner, or hide in the caged city inside the city. Basically, they will not fight guerrillas, let alone mobilize farmers.

Therefore, in the landing battle on June 50, it was the samurai belonging to Fukuoka Fan, Akizuki Fan, and Tofukuji Fan (both branches of Fukuoka Fan) who fought against the Ming army.The Fukuoka domain plus the two branch domains is Shigao, which is less than [-]. According to the standard of two hundred soldiers for ten thousand stones stipulated by the shogunate, it is an army of [-] samurai.

And Mitsuyuki Kuroda placed a thousand ashigaru in Genkai Island, Shiga Island, Tangbo Port, Kaizhong Road, and Noko Island. In addition, he also guarded the five important places guarding the entrance of Hakata Bay. Eight forts were built and hundreds of cannons were deployed.

Five thousand foot light plus more than a hundred artillery pieces, and it also occupies a huge geographical advantage-the opponent must fight a landing battle!

In Kuroda Mitsuyuki's original cognition, the landing and anti-landing battles in Hakata Bay were easy to fight!It is possible to fight back and forth for a month or so... With such a long time, the god Amaterasu might be able to hold back a strong wind and blow all the invading Ming ships over.

However, in the Hakata Bay landing battle on June [-], Kuroda Mitsuyuki, Shimadzu Tsunaki, Mori Tsunahiro, Nabeshima Mitsushige, Hosokawa Tsunatoshi, Asano Tsunasaki, Ikeda Tsunamasa, and Yamauchi Toyo were able to watch the battle. Chang, Hachisuka Tsunamo, Date Zongli and others were all stunned by the one-sided result.

On the evening of the [-]th, Kuroda Koyuki was completely dazed when the flag of the Sun and the Moon, which symbolized the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, was raised on Kumako Island.Half of the combat strength of the Kuroda family, the Ming bandits who landed in less than a day... No, it was the Ming soldiers who were defeated!

The Kuroda family is going to end!

"Fukuoka Marquis (this is an individual name)," Kuroda suddenly remembered the voice of Shimadzu Tsunataka, "It seems that we are powerless to stop the Ming invaders from landing... Why don't we temporarily abandon Fukuoka Castle and retreat to Mount Mikazuki and Yuecheng Mountain , Yuanjianyue and the highlands around, and wait for the army of the Eastern Kingdom led by Lord Gongfang!"

"Abandon Fukuoka Castle? How is this possible..." Kuroda Mitsuyuki was shocked when he heard Shimadzu Tsunaki's suggestion.

Fukuoka Castle is the main city of the Kuroda family. It took a lot of effort to build it. It is the foundation of the Kuroda family. How can you give up?

"Fukuoka Lord..." Mori Tsunahiro also came up to persuade, "Now is not the time to fight for the gains and losses of a city and a place! The current battle of Hakata Bay is very similar to the battle of Sekigahara back then. It will become a key battle to change the ownership of the world. As long as we stand on the side of the winner, are you afraid that there will be no castle?"

"Like what?" Kuroda Mitsuyuki turned to look at Mori Tsunahiro with surprise.

"Like Sekigahara!" Mori Tsunahiro said, "Fukuoka Lord, think about it, is the current situation similar to Sekigahara?"

Shimadzu Tsunataka also said: "Yes, the current situation is really similar to that of Sekigahara... The Battle of Hakata Bay is to win the world by one battle! It depends on whether Japan will continue to become a unique kingdom of God, or join the Great Ming Dynasty. The battle of Bodo is over."

"Oh, this one looks like Sekihara..." Kuroda Mitsuyuki pondered carefully, "Can't it last?"

Mori Tsunahiro shook his head and said: "The reason why Japan was able to stand alone in the past and not be integrated with the Celestial Dynasty is because Japan is an island country hanging on the sea. Is it independent from the Celestial Empire?"

"Impossible..." Shimadzu Tsunaki shook his head, his tone seemed quite pessimistic, "Japan is surrounded by seas, and landings can be made everywhere. If we don't fight to the death in Hakata, once the Ming invaders invade everywhere, then we have to fortify everywhere. But this is simply impossible.

So we had to retreat to the high ground east of Hakata Bay and stand by for help.After the general arrives, we will join forces to fight the Ming Kou, and if we lose, we can only..."

Maori Tsunahiro nodded: "Yes, yes...the situation in Sekigahara was like this. One battle will rule the world, and we must do our best. Fukuoka Marquis, I might as well retreat to the high place first, and then go to Changzhou together to invite the Lord Gongfang Send out troops. Don't let Mr. Gongfang follow in the footsteps of Mr. Hui Yuan!"

The Duke Terumoto he was talking about was, of course, the house god Mori Terumoto. He was the general of the Western Army back then, and he lived in Osaka Castle all the time. Gang Guang is now a general!

Chapter 684 The emperor, the opportunity to rebel must not be missed!

Changzhou Fan, Hagi Castle.

This is the lair of the Maori family in Changzhou and the residence of General Tokugawa himself.

Because the Maori family was the god of house, the god of food, and the god of war during the battle of Sekigahara. While killing the unlucky Ishida Mitsunari, he also made his family miserable. The big name of 20 million shi gave Kengcheng three 10,000+ shi torments—although 10,000 20+ shi is not a lot, but the Maori family turned out to be a family of [-] million shi, with many retainers, high expenses, and ambition Of course it's also huge.

Therefore, after shrinking from 120 million stones to three 10,000+ stones, it is very uncomfortable, and there is a "rebellion" in the upper and lower levels of the fan.So much so that every new year, the feudal lord of the Maori family would symbolically ask loudly: "Can the curtain be reversed this year?"

Of course, the answer must be that the conditions are not ripe... Otherwise, the Maoli family would have perished long ago!

However, this attitude has already made the people of the Tokugawa shogunate very upset.

This matter probably didn't exist when Shenjun Ieyasu, the second Zu Xiuzhong, and the third Mujiaguang were in power, otherwise the Mori family might be gone.And of course, this kind of death behavior can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the dog-boy Fang Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. The previous stupid Fang Jiagang was stupid and didn't bother to care about these things.But the dog is not stupid!

So he took advantage of the opportunity of this Western Expedition to directly enter Hagi City, the main city of the Maori family, and forced Maori Tsunahiro to send troops to Hakata Bay to serve as cannon fodder.

To be honest, this hand is still very beautiful.The soldiers of the shogunate are stationed at Mori Tsunahiro's home, how dare he have any other intentions?

If Maori did not dare to rebel, Satsuma Shimadzu would not dare to act rashly... After all, Shimadzu's life is much easier than Maori's!

The Maori family only has three 10,000+ stones, while the Shimadzu family has more than 60 shi.Moreover, there is a Ryukyu country that can give them a smooth ride, so that life will not be difficult.

Moreover, the Tokugawa family did not feel sorry for Shimadzu.Their family's large territory in Kyushu was deprived by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

However, the Inugong Fang can be counted as domestic affairs in Japan, but it cannot be considered that the fighting power of the Ming army is too strong.In just one day, the Kuroda family defending Hakata Bay was defeated, and even Fukuoka Castle, the main city of the Kuroda family, was lost.

"What? Even Fukuoka Castle is lost!"

In a spacious Japanese room, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi listened to Kuroda Mitsuyuki's report, and he was out of breath.He even had the urge to cut Kuroda Hikyuki seppuku.

Kuroda Mitsuyuki also felt that something was wrong, so he quickly winked at the two feudal lords who came with him - hurry up and help!

"Master Gongfang!" Tsunaki Shimadzu, who accompanied Koichi Kuroda, hurriedly explained for Kuroda, "Ming's combat power is indeed beyond imagination...the deployment of the Marquis of Fukuoka is not too flawed, and the Fukuoka Domain's The samurai have also fought with all their strength. Although they killed many Ming bandits, their own casualties were even greater. At least 4000 people were killed on Xuanjie Island, Shiga Island, Tangbo Port, Kaizhong Road, and Nokono Island. The jade was broken, and the Fukuoka domain suffered heavy casualties!"

"That's right," Mori Tsunahiro quickly echoed, "The Battle of Hakata Bay was too miserable... The water in Hakata Bay is almost stained red with blood!

Fukuoka samurai, it is an honor to be defeated! "

In fact, the casualties of the Fukuoka clan were not that great, and many people were still captured... But Shimadzu Tsunaki, Mori Tsunahiro and Kuroda Mitsuyuki are about to wear a pair of pants now, so of course they have to help him fool the general.

"What's the situation in Hakata Bay now?" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi calmed down a little, and asked about the situation of the former enemy again.

"The Ming bandits are making a massive landing," Kuroda Mitsuyuki said, "Fukuoka City has already been occupied by the Ming bandits, and the Emperor Ming himself may have settled there."

Heitian paused, and then said: "Our army retreated to the high ground around Sanriyue Mountain, Yuecheng Mountain, and Yuanjian Mountain. The terrain has temporarily blocked the enemy.

If Mr. Gongfang can lead the main force of the Dongguo warriors across the sea to Kyushu, there is still a good chance of stopping the Ming invaders. "

In fact, it was the [-]-strong army's crossing and landing operation itself that temporarily held back the Ming army's footsteps... This matter can't be finished in ten days and a half months.

Tokugawa Tsunakichi thought over and over again, finally nodded, and sighed: "Then the main force of the shogunate army should be stationed in Xiaocang Castle first... This battle will last for a long time, so we can't fight blindly. As long as it drags on for a few months, When the Ming invaders run out of food, we can hope to win."

Although the current situation is a bit like "Guan Yuan".However, after discussions between Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, Tokugawa Mitsuki, the elder Hotta, the old Nakatsuchiya and others, they still felt that it should be long-lasting.

Kuroda, Mori, and Shimadzu also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the general is willing to leave for Kyushu Island, they will have a way to do it...

……

Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Zichen Palace.

Today is a sunny day, only windy but not rainy, so there is only wind and no rain leaking in Zichen Palace.

At this moment, there is a visitor in Zichen Palace, and it is related to the leader of a group of people with lofty ideals that Baiyi contacted on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, named Aoi Anto... that is the leader of the Aoi Regiment, Aoi Makoto's father.

In the past few years, Captain Aoi has been in charge of the foreign legion for Zhu Heqi... It was not until recently that Zhu Heqi was about to attack Japan that he got such a chance to make great contributions.And also met His Majesty the Emperor himself!

For people at Aoi's level, the Emperor used to be a god-like existence.

Therefore, Aoi, who seized the opportunity, had to take a good look at what the Emperor looked like - he looked like a dog.

After kowtowing like a play, Captain Aoi Lian exchanged some pleasantries, and then he didn't get straight to the point.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard something from an adult, do you want to rebel?"

rebel?Emperor Shiren frowned, and said in his heart: "I am the emperor, how can the emperor's rebellion be called rebellion? That is called imperial rebellion!"

"If you want to rebel, now is the best time! The Emperor of Ming Dynasty can say, as long as you are willing to take a step back and change from emperor to king, Daming can wish you a helping hand."

After hearing Aoi's words, Emperor Shiren frowned even tighter.

"Then what exactly does the Great Emperor want me to do?"

Aoi said: "Of course it is to be the king, to be the king of Japan, to surrender to Ming Dynasty!"

"Co-author..." Emperor Shiren thought to himself: "I was an emperor before the rebellion. I worked so hard and took such a big risk to rebel, but I succeeded and was demoted to be a king! Then why am I so early in this rebellion?"

When things came to an end, Emperor Shiren seemed to be retreating a bit.

"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again." Yi Dong Jing knew the emperor's suffering best, and quickly reminded, "Once the general takes the lead, you will be his puppet for the rest of your life!"

After being reminded by him, Shiren remembered that his current emperor is a fake, acting...and "Ming Dae" can make him a real king!The real king is not as fragrant as the pretended emperor?

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore. Although Tsunayoshi treated him well, but in front of the huge benefits of becoming "Japan's No. [-] dog", his brothers are unreliable!
