Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tadatoshi Aoyama to receive the news.

The old man said with a sullen face, "Dian, are the Ming people going to attack the island?"

The essence of the Japanese kingdom is in the homeland. No matter how chaotic the Jiuguo island is, and the Shikoku island is lost, the shogunate can calm down, but once the Ming army enters the home island, I am afraid that no one can calm down. The daimyo will feel the crisis deeply.

This will be a real danger for the Wa country, and a real earthquake is coming.

Aoyama Tadatoshi looked at the map in front of the table, his eyes fell on the Kanmon Strait, and then to the right, it was Honguku Island.

There are many mountains and plains in our country. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a powerful cavalry that could gallop more than [-] miles a day. If they crossed the Guanmen Strait, they might be able to drive straight into Luoyang (Edo)!

But Tadatoshi Aoyama quickly moved his eyes back, and said indifferently: "One day when I was on Jiuguo Island, the Ming people could not enter their own island without any scruples. One of their goals is to control the Guanmen Strait and cut off our island. Second, they want to lure me out."

The old man listened, and said: "Dian, that's okay, Ming people have always been cunning, if they really enter the island of their own country, I'm afraid the public will be furious!"

Qingshan Zhongjun's face was as hard as iron, and he couldn't see any expression. He said lightly: "Don't worry, let's look again. Where is the navy of the Ming Dynasty now?"

The old man really couldn't understand, at this time, Tadatoshi Aoyama was still "not in a hurry", he was silent for a while, and said: "Most of them are stationed in Tsushima Fan, and some are scattered around, in Funei Bay and Kanmon Strait. Some. Now they are going to attack the Kanmon Strait, and they may concentrate there."

Aoyama Tadatoshi stared at the Guanmen Strait, nodded secretly, and said: "The Guanmen Strait has more than [-], and there are [-] on each side of the Strait. We can support more at any time, so don't worry."

The elders of the family are not only worried about the Guanmen Strait, but also about them now.

In the entire Jiuguo Island, only the Fatty Fan is still in their hands, but they have an army of [-], and the Fatty Fan can't afford it. It won't take long for the food and grass to keep up. If there is no supplement, they may not fight. crash.

Zhongjun Qingshan naturally understood this in his heart, and the elder didn't say much, and said: "According to the news from various places, Dorgon sent 2 people to sweep away with cavalry in the eight countries except the Fatty Fan. , were all killed, and even slaughtered the city... They looted an unknown amount of gold, silver, money and food, and Hei Tianzhongzhi was forced to conscript them. It is said that they already have 2 people in their hands, and they are training with the help of the Ming Dynasty..."

These Qingshan Zhongjun knew earlier, with a blank face, he said: "Let them kill, is there any change in Kagoshima?"

The old man was full of doubts in his heart, so he replied: "No, we sealed off the shore, but there is nothing to do in the sea. They often go to sea, and there are also Ming Dynasty navy."

Kagoshima is a peninsula, derived from the inner lake, which leads to the sea, and the Ming navy can come and go freely.If the Wa country did not have a powerful navy, it would be helpless to deal with such a place.

Qingshan Zhongjun put away the map and said: "Let them look after it and block it. Let all the halls come to see me."

Aoyama Tadatoshi is different from Itakura Shigemasa or Matsudaira Nobuzuna. He is a person from the Tokugawa Ieyasu era. He is loyal to the Tokugawa family. He is the elder of the Tokugawa family and a figure respected by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

These big names, whether they are Waiyang, Pudai or Qinfan, none dare to neglect Qingshan Zhongjun.

"Yes." The old man said.

For Qingshan Zhongjun's standing still and allowing Jiuguo Island to fall, the big names, especially those from Jiuguo Island, are naturally very angry. There have been various voices in the army, and there are signs of instability. Qingshan Zhongjun needs to appease and control.

On the other side, Dorgon was stationed in the inner city of the mansion. Daishan, Man Dahai, Duoduo, Heitian Zhongzhi and others led the army and galloped across the five northern countries to wipe out all disasters, and at the same time collect food, grass and money.

Except for the fat clan, Jiuguo Island is basically under the control of Dorgon. With their "kill if you don't accept it" personality, you don't know how many big names, family warehouses, and arsenals have been confiscated.

In just half a month, the inner city of the mansion was full of money and food, and there were hundreds of house governors who knelt down to them!

Hei Tianzhong is full of vigor and ambition, because these house governors are all under his command, and his army has swelled to 2 people!

On Jiuguo Island, the only danger is Tadatoshi Aoyama, who is hiding somewhere in the fat clan.In addition to intense military training these days, Hei Tianzhongzhi just scouted Qingshan Zhongjun's position and pleaded for orders, hoping to cut off Qingshan Zhongjun as soon as possible so as to completely control Jiuguo Island for peace of mind.

Dorgon's cavalry went around, constantly provoking, trying to force Qingshan Zhongjun out, but Qingshan Zhongjun was like an old turtle who just didn't show up, which made Dorgon and others very helpless and admired his determination.

At the same time, Li Dingguo led 5000 people with [-] cannons and arrived not far from the Guanmen Strait.

The army is still simply resting and maintaining the cannons and ammunition. Li Dingguo led his people to the Guanmen Strait not far away to observe secretly.

The lieutenant was beside him, rubbing his shoulders, looking at Li Dingguo's dangling arm, and said: "My lord, our injuries are not good. Dorgon also said that it doesn't matter if we go slower. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Dingguo held a telescope, looked through the woods, and looked towards the direction of the Guanmen Strait, and said: "Let them lift the big basket, the angle is just right."

The lieutenant general responded, followed by looking, and after a while, he frowned.

The Guanmen Strait is not what he expected. It is not like a strait or a ferry, but more like a fortress. There are turrets, tall buildings, and various fortifications everywhere. Strict warriors are patrolling staggeredly. The strictness is beyond imagination.

More importantly, he saw many concrete buildings, gun towers, fences, watchtowers, etc., all of which were true.

Immediately he hated it, and said: "My lord, Luo Yangxing's death ten thousand times is not a pity!"

Li Dingguo was still observing carefully, shaking his head with his usual face, and said: "I started to build water conservancy a few years ago, and cement is not a secret. There are so many Japanese people coming and going, it may not be that Luo Yangxing deliberately leaked it."

Even so, the lieutenant general was still full of resentment, and said: "My lord, the Japanese are clearly prepared, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to attack... No wonder the governor has not taken action."

Li Dingguo put down the binoculars, turned around and loaded the big basket, saying: "We don't need to guess the strategy of the governor, we will implement the tactical part first."

The lieutenant followed him into the big basket, and looked at the inside of the fortress, his expression even more startled.

The layout of this fortress does not look like the style of the Japanese country, but rather like that of Ming Dynasty, or in other words, it is just copied. This fortress is simply a replica of Shanhaiguan. It is built on a continuous mountain, with high walls and thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack. !

If you can't break through the point in front of you, you can only go around, then you have to go around a long way, and you have to go from the sea to the other side, and the distance will be increased by more than ten times!

Chapter 1359

Li Dingguo looked around for a while, nodded and said: "Wo Kingdom, there are still masters."

The lieutenant was startled inwardly, and said: "Master, tell me, will someone be sentenced to my Daming and join the Japanese people?"

Li Dingguo said: "No, if there was, it would have been found out by Jin Yiwei and the Military Intelligence Department. This city should be related to Luo Yangxing."

The lieutenant showed murderous intentions, he was annoyed for a while, and said: "My lord, why does the Military Intelligence Department cherish words like gold and refuse to give us all the information?"

Li Dingguo said: "It should be the meaning of the governor, so there is no need to ask. Let people observe carefully, draw a topographic map, and shoot tomorrow."

The artillery of the cannon is currently the most advanced in the world. The main reason is that it has a long range and powerful ammunition. A thousand cannons are enough to put the fortress of Kanmon Strait in flames!

"Yes!" The lieutenant commanded.

Li Dingguo did not hide his actions, and the Guanmen Strait had already received the news.

Itakura Shigesho has not been dealt with, and is still in charge of the defense of the southern shore of the Kanmon Strait.

A retainer was reporting back, and said coldly: "Dian, Li Dingguo is camping ten miles away, with only 5000 people, should we deal with him first!"

Itakura Shigemasu looked indifferent, and had been terrified recently. Listening to the words of his retainers, he said indifferently: "Do you think that the Ming Dynasty will really let 5000 people and a thousand cannons swagger to close the Strait? Are you stupid or am I?"

The retainer lowered his head and said: "The villain knows his mistake!"

Itakura Shigechang's face was gloomy, and he said: "Ming people must have an ambush in the dark, we don't move, have the defenses everywhere been adjusted?"

The retainer immediately said: "It has been adjusted. Now the city is high and thick, and the food and grass are sufficient. Even if the Ming Dynasty has an army of [-] for a year or so, it will never be possible to break through!"

Itakura Shigemasa looked at him indifferently, and said, "Sea?"

The vassal said: "There are Xiyi artillery on both sides of the strait, especially in narrow places. The distance advantage of the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is not there. They can't control the strait..."

The expression on Itakura Shigemasa's face softened, and he said, "Izumori, is there any news now?"
