Domineering Daming

Shan Xianhe raised his spirits, and said: "Yes. Their navy is bombarding all the peninsulas and straits that may support Shikoku Island, but they have never landed. How many letters have been sent, all the elders, ministers, and even some big names have also received letters of appeal for help... Dian, are we really just sitting back and ignoring it?"

Aoyama Tadatoshi looked at Yamagata Kazuichi, knowing that he knew some secrets, and said lightly: "It's not the time yet."

Shan County and Yi felt uncomfortable, and still said: "However, since they occupy Shikoku Island, they can directly land on Homeland Island, which will be troublesome."

Tadatoshi Aoyama took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of Satsuma?"

Shanxianhe refused to say more when he saw Qingshan Tadatoshi, so he said: "They are huddled in Kagoshima, just like Shimabara, but I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with. Kagoshima is a peninsula, on the lake, and there is a fleet to assist. Let alone [-], even if [-] pile up, I don't think it can be captured."

Qingshan Zhongjun nodded silently, and said: "If you can't attack by force, how should you deal with it?"

Kagoshima is a peninsula, and Ming's fleet can come and go without hindrance, so there is no need to worry about logistics, let alone a few months, it will be fine for ten or eight years.

This is what Zheng Chenggong faced in history when he regained Taiwan. In the end, it was still under siege. After a year and a half, the Dutch inside surrendered voluntarily.

The difference is that the Dutch are on land, and without logistical support, they will not be able to survive.But Kagoshima is at sea, and there is a steady stream of support from the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, it is a very difficult situation to be unable to fight or besieged.

Shan Xianhe sat on his knees with his head down, thinking rapidly in his heart.

It is impossible for the shogunate to fill a small Kagoshima with 8 people, and it will not delay here for too long, allowing the Ming Dynasty to advance their plan step by step unimpeded.

Tadatoshi Aoyama looked up at him, and said, "You lead 3 people and camp twenty miles away from Kagoshima. You can't move forward. If they come out, you can retreat. It doesn't matter even if you withdraw from Hinata. You understand what I mean ?"

Shan Xianhe was stunned, and said: "Dian, what do you mean, keep an eye on them and lure the enemy deep?"

Tadatoshi Aoyama shook his head, and said: "The Ming Dynasty is going to be difficult to deal with. I am worried about Eizo. They have an army of 2 but they have not moved. Nobuzuna Matsudaira's [-] people can't stop them at all. The government doesn't know how to deal with it."

If the shogunate wants to recruit soldiers, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the big names. Now it is almost 20. If there are more, the shogunate will not be able to bear it.

If the Ming Dynasty were to divide its troops into two groups, the pressure on Japan would increase greatly.

Under Daming's pressure, their established strategy showed some signs of collapse.

Shanxianheyi didn't know what Qingshan Zhongjun wanted to do, so he could only say: "Yes!"

Tadatoshi Aoyama didn't say much, and didn't move in Wofei City.

At the same time, Cao Bianjiao's fleet has arrived in the Seto Inland Sea and has shelled both sides for two days.

There is a panic on the island of the country, and troops are constantly rushing over, as if they are afraid that the Ming Dynasty will land here.

The Sanuki clan on Shikoku Island on the other side is even more worried. Sanuki Shou is the lord of the Takamatsu clan, Ikoma Takatoshi, and he is the third generation of Sanuki Shou, the lord of the Takamatsu clan.

His father and grandfather participated in the East-West War. The father and son went east and west, and finally managed to keep the family name. It can be said that they were clever.

But this Ikoma Takatoshi is much worse. Not only has he made enemies everywhere in Sanuki, he has continued to conquer, and he has also had conflicts with the other three countries.

Now, the [-] Heavenly Army of the Ming Dynasty is approaching, and he only has [-] warriors in total. The Xiangxi clan and Shihe clan who are hostile to him have put aside their prejudices and asked him to find a way.

Ikoma Takatoshi discussed with a group of family elders, but the discussion came and went, but there was still one sentence: Without reinforcements from the shogunate, they would not be able to resist the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty!

Takamatsu Castle.

Ikoma Takatoshi looked at the lord of the Kosai Clan in front of him, and said sincerely, "Kosai Temple, how many warriors can we have at most in Sanuki?"

Hearing the words "Xiangxi Temple", the lord of the Xiangxi clan sneered in his heart, and said without moving: "It's less than five thousand."

Five thousand against fifty thousand is impossible, and there are many Sanuki plains, and there are few fortresses. Where is the possibility of victory?

Ikoma Takatoshi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kosai, so he got up and walked inside.

Xiangxi's eyes flickered, and he turned to leave.

At this time, in a front room, the head of the Kagawa clan was meeting a mysterious person.

"If I surrender, can the Ming Dynasty really guarantee my domain?"

"Of course, the Ming Dynasty just wasn't angry at Tokugawa Iemitsu's disrespect. As long as Tokugawa Iemitsu is overthrown, the Wa country will still be the Wa country, and there must be someone to govern it, right?"

"How do you guarantee that?"

"It's simple, I can get a letter of commission written by the governor. At that time, your Kagawa clan will still be the Kagawa clan. By the way, some Sanuki clans will disappear by then, and naturally some surrendered daimyo will be given .”

"I'm going to think about it."

"Don't worry, the governor will take his time to think about it. I have to go see some other people. The army of the Celestial Dynasty is about to go ashore. If the governor thinks about it before then, you can come to me again. After landing, there is no need..."

The Patriarch of the Xiangchuan Clan said: "If I can help you contact other Patriarchs, what good will it do?"

The mysterious person had a lot of meaning: "Shikoku Island will be reshuffled, there will be four kings, and a new Sanuki Mamoru, as long as the credit is big enough, all of these are fine!"

The head of the Xiangchuan family said: "Okay, I will help you, you must keep your promise!"

"Of course!"

This kind of thing happened in the entire Shikoku Island. The intelligence network cultivated by Jin Yiwei for many years in the Military Intelligence Department is running at high speed.

Dorgon led an army of [-] and had been wandering on the sea for a long time. At this time, he was also in the Seto Inland Sea, looking at the left and right banks.

Inside the largest battleship, Dorgon, Daishan, Duoduo, Man Dahai and others gathered together, looking at the intelligence map from the Military Intelligence Department.

Daishan pointed to the map and said: "This is Shodoshima. There are at most 800 warriors on it. There is no need to worry too much. To the south is Sanuki. There are eleven counties with a population of about 20. The largest number of troops is less than 8000. The largest country is this Iyo, whose population is three times that of Sanuki, and whose military strength is also the strongest, but there are many internal vassal states, and the strength is scattered. That's [-] people..."

Dorgon and the others listened and shook their heads secretly.Unlike their Jin Kingdom, where all the people are soldiers, the Wa Kingdom favors martial arts, and only warriors are eligible to participate in the war.In addition, Shikoku Island is poor. In the entire Wa Kingdom, the most fertile land is on Honguku Island, and seven or eight out of ten of the population is there. Other places are very embarrassed.

Dorgon supported the table with both hands, and said: "Let's divide our troops into four groups, and drive directly to the feudal city. In the plains, the cavalry is the main force, and the battle is quick. In the mountains, bring cannons and push across..."

The entire Shikoku Island has less than 3 troops, and they are scattered all over the place, with no danger to defend. Their [-] elite army does not need to think too much at all.

Everyone nodded. The people here, following Dorgon's wars in the north and south for many years, have a very strong sense of war.

Daishan hung up the map and asked, "When will you land?"

The wrench in Dorgon's hand turned slowly, and said: "Give the Military Intelligence Department a little more time, they can solve a lot of troubles for us. Also, if you encounter stubbornness, don't be lenient. I will explain to the emperor." .”

Daishan, Duoduo, Man Dahai and the others nodded. Their Jurchens have always been straightforward in their actions. If they resist stubbornly, it is common for them to kill and vent their anger!

When Dorgon and others were about to land, the four power guards on Shikoku Island were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they sent people to connect continuously.

But the intricate fighting relationship between each other surfaced again. I don't know how many people have various thoughts, and they still quarrel endlessly in front of this kind of enemy, and it is difficult to unite.

Edo.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had received the news that Itakura Shigemasa had captured Shimabara Castle, and his face, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally showed joy.

He smiled at the girl sitting across from him and said, "Itakura Shigemasa can still be used."
