Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 696
In mid-August of the 19th year of Chongzhen, the relationship between the Satsuma clan and the Tokugawa shogunate was not very good. Therefore, among the first batch of troops sent to North Korea, the Satsuma clan troops were drawn.

When Wa found out that North Korea could indeed be accepted smoothly and began large-scale immigration, there was no part of Satsuma.

This made Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the second-generation Satsuma feudal lord, very upset. For this reason, at the beginning of the first half of the year, there was a sudden news that when southern Korea was raided by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses, he drank several times. It was a gloating celebration.

But immediately, Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious, and issued a military order again. Among them, the Satsuma Domain was recruited, and all the remaining troops and warships under Shimadzu Mitsuhisa were transferred to North Korea. Even Shimadzu Mitsuhisa had to personally lead the army past.

It is impossible to fight against the shogunate, and there is no possibility of rebellion. Besides, North Korea is after all the meat that Japan has eaten in its mouth. Therefore, Shimadzu Mitsujiu stayed behind his old Shimadzu Jiutong, and he himself led the army gone.

On the Satsuma side, after Shimadzu Hisutichi came to power, he began preparations for the relocation of the civilians of the Satsuma domain. This was a supplement to all the troops recruited by the shogunate, allowing the past to select a piece of North Korean territory.

The same is true, the food and materials in North Korea have to be raised by the feudal clans themselves.

When Shimadzu was busy with this, he found that one thing seemed a little abnormal.

According to the past, the subordinates of the Ryukyu Kingdom will transport a lot of food and supplies in a few months, which is equivalent to the Satsuma clan lying on the Ryukyu Kingdom to suck blood.Now to raise food and supplies, Shimadzu Hisatsutsu naturally thought of Ryukyu.

However, it has been several months. Logically speaking, a batch of grain and grass materials should have been shipped, but it has been delayed for a long time.For this reason, he had to send a ship to ask the situation.

No, all the people who are going to be relocated from the Satsuma domain are gathered at the port, and the grain and grass materials collected by their own domain are also loaded on ships, and they are waiting for the Ryukyu Kingdom to be transported to gather and set off together. The result is still the same. Nowhere to be seen.

This made Shimadzu Jiutong a little confused, and it also made the Japanese people who had to wait here at the port very irritable and talked endlessly.

"How long will we have to wait? If we go to North Korea too late, we probably won't be able to find a good location, right?"

"Don't worry, maybe it's too early to go, those Ming people and rebellious North Koreans are not wiped out, they will be in danger."

"How is it possible? Now that the general has sent an army over there, every mouthful of saliva can drown those rebels. What danger is there?"

"That's right, this time, the general was really angry. Such a large-scale dispatch of troops will be several times more powerful than the war against the court decades ago, and it will not be able to destroy those Ming people and rebels." Korean?"

"Yeah, you don't know that the workshops for making matchlock guns in various domains have not stopped since last year. I don't know how many troops have been regrouped by the daimyos from all over the country? Even if they are flooded with soldiers, they can drown us. Enemy!"

"You're right. I can't wait any longer. I wish I could go to North Korea sooner. It is said that life in North Korea would be very easy if there were no Ming people. Not only would there be houses and fields, but also North Korean servants! "

"Haha, let us also taste what it's like to be a master. It's best to get a North Korean maid, the beautiful one, who can warm the bed at night!"

"You have a good idea, beautiful maids, they belong to gentlemen. For those like us, it is enough to have a share of North Korean servants. I am really looking forward to it!"

"That's right, I'm really looking forward to it! What the hell is that side of Ryukyu, it's been so long, it's been delaying us for so many days!"

"Really, let me tell you, our Satsuma clan is really kind to the Ryukyu people. If you deal with them once, they will be very obedient!"

"That's right, it's all the kindness from above. It would be great if it was like North Korea's. How about giving us Ryukyu servants directly?"

"The maids in Ryukyu are not good, they are too ugly, they are pitch black, they look like female monkeys!"

"You old bachelor, as long as you have a woman, you're still picky!"

"Speaking of which, the Ming country is the most beautiful. When we occupy North Korea, we will attack the Ming country together with the army of the Qing Empire. I hope to take down the Ming country soon. Wow, then we will definitely get a lot of servants from the Ming country. right?"

"That's right, the Ming country has a lot of people and is very prosperous. If the Ming country is conquered, all of us can get rich!"

"I really hope that day will come soon!"

"..."

These Japanese civilians all dreamed of sweet dreams, and they just wished they could become masters all at once, with colonies under their feet!
On this day, these Wa people from the Satsuma domain continued to daydream while looking at the sea, waiting for the Ryukyu ship to appear.

Suddenly, I don't know who it is, and suddenly shouted: "Look, the boat is coming!"

Hearing the shout, everyone around him was immediately alarmed, and they all looked up at the sea.

Sure enough, I saw the shadows of all the ships on the sea level.

This time, all the Japanese cheered.After all the flowers withered, the boat finally arrived, which meant that they could set off for North Korea!
All of a sudden, the Japanese people waiting at the port, all carrying big and small bags, rushed to the port one after another.

However, after a while, someone noticed something was wrong, and quickly shouted: "It seems that there are too many ships!"

Hearing this shout, many people raised their heads and looked again.Sure enough, there seemed to be more and more ship shadows on the sea level in the distance, far exceeding their expectations.

This is not right!

On the side of the Ryukyu Kingdom, even if the ships of the Ryukyu people were recruited, there would not be so many, right?

This abnormal situation was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and the surging crowd on the port side suddenly became quiet, and all looked at the sea, not knowing what happened for a while.

Suddenly, someone yelled, "No, it's a lucky boat, that's a lucky boat, a ship from the Ming Dynasty!"

So many ships from the Ming Dynasty suddenly appeared on the sea of ​​Satsuma, what does it mean?
Now that they are at war with the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to come here to do business!

When many Japanese thought of this, they became a little frightened.The Japanese soldiers on the pier hurriedly reported to the feudal lord's mansion.

Shimadzu Jiutong just received the report, saying that a ship was coming from the sea, it should be the ship from Ryukyu, he was still very happy, and was about to go out to check the situation, when he received the report again, saying that it was a lucky ship from the Ming Dynasty, and there were a lot of them .

Hearing this report, he immediately panicked. Needless to say, it must be a navy from the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to be a lucky boat for business.

At this time, most of the troops of the Satsuma clan were mobilized. If the Ming army attacked on a large scale, it would be impossible to resist it. It's just a transport ship!
God bless Amaterasu, come here to do business!

While praying, Hisazu Shimadzu hurried to the port.

However, before he arrived at the port, he saw that the crowd in the direction of the port had already scattered and fled, and the scene was extremely chaotic.Under the collision of the crowd, even Hisashi Shimadzu couldn't move forward.

"It's not good, Ming's army is coming!"

"There are so many boats, run for your life!"

"..."

Seeing the chaos, Shimadzu Jiutong immediately asked his soldiers to shoot into the sky.

"Blah blah blah..."

After a burst of gunfire, the fleeing crowd did not dare to move, and stopped one after another, and then looked towards Shimadzu Hisaichi.

Hisamitsu Shimadzu saw him, coughed, cleared his throat, and was about to speak, when suddenly, he heard a very loud thunder coming from the direction of the port.

"Boom boom boom..."

Needless to say, this is the sound of artillery, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty fired.

Hearing the continuous sound of artillery, the crowd, who still cared about Shimadzu's side firing guns, immediately scattered and fled again.

"It's not good, the Ming army is calling, run!"

"I'm dying, I'm dying, God Amaterasu, help me!"

"..."

This time, it was even more chaotic than just now, and even the army led by Shimadzu Hisaichi was dispersed by half.

Hearing the continuous sound of gunfire, Shimadzu Hisaichi saw people running around everywhere on the street, knowing that he could not reach the port, he immediately took the people and ran to a nearby hill to check the situation.

On the sea beyond the port, there are already countless Ming warships bombarding the port, and on the sea in the distance, there are still many Ming warships, and there is no end in sight.

Seeing this, Shimadzu's back was completely wet.Even if all the troops of Satsuma were present, they still couldn't stop the attack of so many Ming troops!
Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is definitely Ming's policy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

Shimadzu Jiutong quickly sent an order to ask for help from other daimyos and Edo.Then, he also turned around the pier and ran first.

If you don't run anymore, it will be difficult to run when the Ming army lands!

On the Ming army's flagship, Jin Yingyuan looked at the Satsuma clan in chaos, and saw the Japanese being severely taught by the Ming army. He couldn't tell how happy he was!

These Japanese people only know how to bully the weak Ryukyu. Look, they are a piece of shit when they meet the army of the Heavenly Kingdom!

Well played, well taught!

Jin Yingyuan can't wait to clap his hands and cheer!

However, he was a little disappointed that the Ming army did not land on a large scale, but only occupied the port, seized the food and supplies piled up in the port, and some transport ships that were not bombarded. After resting overnight, we continued to head northwest along the coastline the next day.

The news of the Ming army's attack on the Satsuma domain spread extremely quickly over land.

All of a sudden, the Japanese along the coast fled inland one after another, and the docked ships fled one after another.

The Ming Navy continued to attack along the coastline. If they could fight well, they just skipped over if they had nothing to gain. In short, they just didn't go ashore.Naturally, the harvest is not as much as that of Satsuma.

But these are not the purpose of this Ming army. Their destination is Tsushima Island.
