Domineering Daming

Chen Zhiyang made arrangements quietly and notified Liu Jingming that he could go ashore.

Zong Yicheng surrendered, and the entire Tsushima Fan was theirs, without any effort.

Chen Zhiyang entered the city, sat on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, looked at Zong Yicheng and others who were standing in fear, and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, I will know that you have always admired my celestial dynasty. Once I surrendered to the heavenly soldiers, I will definitely not let you be bullied by the Tokugawa shogunate again. No matter what happens in the future, my heavenly dynasty will protect you well. How you lived in the past will only be better now!"

Zong Yicheng and the others naturally didn't believe such words, but they still responded with a stiff face, and they were still uneasy in their hearts, not knowing what to do.

The relationship between Tsushima Fan and North Korea is close, and naturally it is also for Ming Dynasty. Zong Yicheng is very familiar with the language of Xu Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that one day, the soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty will really come.

For a moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I didn't know what to do or what to say. I could only wait for the guillotine of the Ming Dynasty to fall.

Chen Zhiyang can only talk about the scene, after all, his grade is not enough, so he can only try his best to appease him.

At the same time, the army of the Ming Dynasty quickly took over the entire lower county, and quickly moved northward, took down the upper county, and occupied the entire Tsushima domain.

When it got dark, the entire Tsushima Fan was under Daming's control.

Liu Jingming was sitting in Fuzhong City, and Chen Zhiyang led people and took the list to start a bloody cleansing.

In the evening, Liu Jingming hosted a banquet for Zong Yicheng and some heads of Tsushima Fan.

The whole room was still filled with the smell of blood, even though Liu Jingming had been staying here and there was no blood on the handle of the knife, everyone who looked at him felt terrified.

Chapter 1144 Race against time

Zong Yicheng, the three family elders, and the officials of the Tsushima clan, well-known warriors, businessmen, etc., looked at Liu Jingming who was sitting on the main seat, with unpredictable, cautious, apprehensive, and fearful faces.

Not long after, Chen Zhiyang came back, covered in blood, and with a strong murderous look, raised his hand to Liu Jingming, and said, "My lord, everyone on the list has been killed, and some of them ran into the mountains, and we will definitely find them within three days! "

Liu Jingming waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at Zong Yicheng, and said, "Master Zong, the document for Tsushima Fan to go to the country and join my Daming, is it ready?"

Zong Yicheng hurriedly raised the document above his head and said, "It's finished, I'll listen to the angel's orders."

Liu Jingming took it, glanced at it, and said, "Okay, the imperial court will issue an edict soon, and you will be the first magistrate."

"Yes." Zong Yicheng said hurriedly.At this point, everything is beyond his control.

Liu Jingming looked at Zong Yicheng and the others, and then glanced at those people who belonged to the Military Intelligence Department with excited faces, and he decided that Tsushima Fan was an isolated island with a sparse population. , the rest of these people will basically not show any more moths, which is considered stable for Ma Fan.

Chen Zhiyang had a different idea. Almost all the killings encountered resistance, and none of the people on the list surrendered.He felt that these Japanese warriors were so paranoid that they didn't want their lives. They had to strictly control the Ma Fan and not be careless.

After waiting for a while, a soldier came in and reported: "My lord, Mr. Cao has received a letter. He set off an hour ago and will arrive soon. Your lord requested that 1000 people be left to guard Fuzhong City, and the fleet set off overnight. Go to the Shimabara Peninsula, bombard Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and support Amakusa Shiro!"

Liu Jingming stood up abruptly, and said with a military salute, "Reply to recruit envoys, the last general will take orders!"

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left in a hurry.

Liu Jingming stood at the front, overlooking the group of people condescendingly, and said, "I am a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The recruitment envoy Cao Bianjiao and Cao Zongbing are about to arrive. I would like to see your sincerity. My Ming Dynasty belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven. The place in the center of heaven and earth, the treasures of things and treasures, the outstanding people, you should be extremely honored to be able to become the corner of my Great Ming..."

In the past, they really envied the Ming Dynasty's culture, and most of Japan's culture was also inherited from the Central Plains, but it seemed extremely awkward for an invader to say this, no matter how natural it was.

Zong Yicheng and the others didn't dare to raise their heads, so they could only answer sullenly, their hearts churning, wondering if this envoy was easy to talk to.

They were at a loss, worried that there would be a second list that included them, and they would have no choice but to be killed.

Liu Jingming and Chen Zhiyang looked at the group of people and nodded secretly. They were quite cooperative. They didn't resist Ma Fan so quickly, and they all contributed.

Liu Jingming held a banquet at night, had a long talk with these people, and then had a secret talk with Zong Yicheng, promising many things, which made him feel a little relieved, and his face was not so stiff and ugly.

Then Liu Jingming summoned the businessmen developed by the Military Intelligence Department and told them that the imperial court will send people here soon. Some of them will serve as the first chairman of the Tsushima Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, in charge of all trade in Tsushima Prefecture, and some people will work in the government. Involving all aspects of Tsushima Prefecture, there are not so many rules on land.

These people were overjoyed, and it was worth their money and life to gamble this time. Holding wine glasses, they desperately wanted to toast Liu Jingming.But Liu Jingming pushed back, he was going to go to sea overnight, and asked these people to watch Tsushima Mansion, not to make any mistakes, Cao Bianjiao's army will arrive at the latest tomorrow morning.

These people are naturally extremely excited. When they come out of the Fan Hall, they are like casting a net and shuttle around, reporting all disasters to the Ming Army and the surrendered Tsushima Fan Warriors. The hidden dangers are quickly pulled out one by one, and the Ming Army's control power continues to penetrate. ,strengthen.

That night, with 1000 people left behind, Liu Jingming led ten medium ships and fifteen small ships out of the port and turned to Hizen Kingdom.

The Tsushima Domain is between the Hizen Kingdom and North Korea, while Shimahara is a peninsula, just close to the sea, suitable for naval operations.

Liu Jingming's army set off and headed directly to the Shimabara Peninsula. There were businessmen familiar with Shimabara on board, and they were telling Liu Jingming about Shimabara's situation in more detail.

"My lords, it is actually very difficult to blockade Shimabara. Shimabara is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. If there is no blockade at sea, Hara Castle will be very difficult to break through. And if you want to support Hara Castle, you can do it from the sea. Jiuguo Island There is no regular navy yet, and their ships are generally small..."

"They don't have cannons, and they use very little gunpowder. Although the so-called iron cannons look exquisite, their range and power are limited. They can scare Ryukyu, but they are definitely vulnerable to my court..."

"Nobuzuna Matsudaira now has 7 to [-] people, and the samurai are still coming. It won't take long to break the [-]. The shogunate attaches great importance to the Shimabara Rebellion and is trying everything to eliminate it..."

"Other parts of Wa Kingdom have blocked the sea, prohibiting people or others from going out to sea, and Jiuguo Island is also implementing it. They seem to be very afraid of Xiyi people, prohibiting people from interacting with them, and strictly prohibiting belief in Christianity..."

Liu Jingming listened, there was a clerk not far away who was recording, these are important information, they need to be collected and reported.

Chen Zhiyang listened, looked at Liu Jingming and said, "My lord, it seems that we have to stay at sea for a few more days to cover the Satsuma clan's support to the original city... My lord, tell me, should we give them some cannons, grenades or something like that?" , if this thing came suddenly, it would definitely scare the bunch of idiots..."

Liu Jingming glanced at him, and said: "I have to ask Mr. Cao for instructions on this matter. Cannons and firearms cannot be left in the hands of outsiders. This is an iron rule. If the original city is destroyed, these will fall into the hands of the shogunate and let them imitate them. If you want to subdue the Wa country in the future, you will have to pay a high price. At that time, your majesty, the court will blame you, and you and I will not have enough brains..."

Chen Zhiyang was blown away by what he said, and immediately said: "Yes, let's forget it, just give them some ordinary."

Liu Jingming didn't speak, and ordered the fleet to speed up and rush to the Shimabara Peninsula.

Until dawn, Cao Bianjiao's fleet finally arrived at Tsushima Prefecture. 3000 people went to the island and quickly flooded to all sides to suppress all possible incidents and completely control Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island will be the best stepping stone for Ming to enter the Wa Kingdom. Cao Bianjiao came here, in addition to observing Jiuguo Island a little closer and directing operations, there is also the need to concentrate and manage well. In a few years, this will be the Daming Navy One of the most important bases in the north!

At the same time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. He came out with his clothes on, and looked at the person running in with a cold face. Instead of getting angry, he said kindly: "What happened?" What's the matter?"

A warrior held up a letter and said: "Go back to the main hall, an urgent letter from the Tsushima Fan. The Ming people sent troops to the Tsushima Fan. It may have been occupied by now. The army is rushing to Jiuguo Island."

"What did you say?"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's complexion changed slightly, he stepped forward to snatch the letter, quickly opened it, glanced at it hastily, his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes flickered, after a while, his expression recovered, and he said lightly: "Go ask Itakura Shigemasa to come to me Yes, Shigetoshi Miyake is also invited."

"Yes." The samurai hurried away.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna took the letter, looked at it again, went back to the room and changed clothes, knelt down in front of the small table, looked at the letter on the table, with a calm expression, but deep in his eyes, waves surged.

The first one to come was Itakura Shigemasa. He looked at Matsudaira Nobutsuna with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Nobutsuna, I heard that the Mingren sent troops to attack the Ma Fan, and it has succeeded?"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna pushed the letter over and said, "There are not many samurai in Tsushima Fan, and failure is predictable. Now that the Ming people have come to Jiuguo Island, what do you think?"

Itakura Shigemashi looked at the letter with a solemn expression. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Xin Gang Hall, we need to ask the public for instructions. In addition, we need to divide our troops to go north and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Akira is different from those Christians in Shimabara." Nobutsuna Matsudaira looked calm and calm, and said: "If they really invade on a large scale, it is necessary to divide the troops. Then look, how many troops will the Akira have?"

The letter was written in a hurry, and it was vaguely stated that there were only a few thousand people, but they had no way of guessing how many.

Itakura Shigemashi thought for a while, and said: "This should be the vanguard of the Ming people. They are not familiar with us. If we can ambush them and wipe them out, the Ming people will be surprised and dare not continue. We have time." , find out the situation, and then deal with it..."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna nodded, Itakura Shigemasao is not an idiot after all, what he said makes sense, but the reason is not the point.
