Domineering Daming

This is a trap, they can't love to fight, they can only get out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked indifferent, his heart was full of sadness, sitting on the bow of the boat, watching the fire in the distance, listening to the deafening sound of cannons, his mind was roaring, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Without his command, the Japanese navy was in a mess, running around, desperately trying to break out.

This navy was secretly prepared with the help of the Xiyi people, and it has been strictly kept secret, without actual combat.

Many people were yelling to fire and fight with all their strength, but the formation had long been chaotic, and with the artillery cover of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese navy was in disarray and had no way to fight back.

Liu Jingming's net was very large, and the bombardment from all directions covered all the warships of the Japanese kingdom. Those small ships shuttled back and forth, picking up the fish that slipped through the net that might approach.

In the dark night, the two navies were almost fighting blindly. The difference was that the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty was more violent, and the Japanese fleet had been discovered earlier.

This was a one-sided bombardment, and the Japanese navy could only flee in all directions.

On the other side, the artillery array on the shore kept firing shells, and Japanese troop carriers exploded from time to time. Some people were calling to attack, some were calling to retreat, and the formation had been disrupted.

They are just troop carriers, without the protection of the navy, they are the meat on the cutting board, they can only be slaughtered.

This war has been going on, from late night to dawn, the sound of the guns slowly subsided.

Yang Sichang, Cao Bianjiao, He Xilian and the others had already arrived at the base, standing on the edge of the military port, looking at the bodies of busy bosses and soldiers consigning ships.

Zheng Zhilong, Liu Jingming and others came to repay one after another.

"My lord, of the thirty ships of the Japanese navy, seven were sunk, fourteen were captured, and nine escaped. The navy is currently pursuing them."

"My lord, the Japanese attacked our troop carrier this time with a total of 3 people. We captured 2000 people alive, surrendered 7000 people, were bombed to death, drowned [-] people, [-] people, and nearly [-] people ran away or disappeared... "

"My lord, we have killed or injured more than 200 people, and the cannons have blown up more than 20 doors. The others are not serious..."

"My lord, the navy is already salvaging the sunken ship, and it will be cleaned up soon..."

Yang Sichang and the others listened very satisfied, with a smile on their faces.

Not long after, a navy soldier hurried over, knelt down on one knee, and reported loudly: "My lord, capture the old Tokugawa Nobuzuna Matsudaira alive!"

Yang Sichang's expression moved slightly, knowing that Matsudaira Nobutsuna is Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidant, he immediately said: "Catch him carefully, no, take good care of him, let him rest for a while, I will go see him in person later."

"Yes!" said the soldier.

He Xilian listened, and quickly said: "My lord, the imperial edict and the list of the Japanese emperor will arrive soon, and we can issue a crusade order to our island."

Yang Sichang's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "It's not enough, after Dorgon defeats Qingshan Zhongjun and conquers the Guanmen Strait, then it will be a good time!"

He Xilian, Qian Jinxiao and the others listened, but nodded silently.

Tadatoshi Aoyama has 2 left, Shigesho Itakura has 8, plus [-] from the other side, there are [-], and these [-] are already the last troops that the shogunate can send to Kyukoku Island.

If Dorgon can be defeated, the shock to the Wa Kingdom will definitely be extraordinary. When the time comes, the Japanese Emperor’s Edict will be issued, and with the list of Emperor Gomizuo, once the Ming Dynasty’s crusade order is issued, it will definitely have a miraculous effect!

Cao Bianjiao turned his head to look at Yang Sichang, and said, "Governor, the king of Tang is also here, please order me to lead the navy to the Guanmen Strait, and help Dorgon break through the Guanmen Strait!"

King Tang has been in the navy for many years. Although he has an ambiguous identity as a "staff member", he represents the importance that the Qianqing Palace attaches to the navy. He is also the emperor's confidant, silently guarding the navy.

His arrival may have expressed the Qianqing Palace's dissatisfaction with the protracted war.

Yang Sichang pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't go deep, the Japanese country in the Straits is so guarded, there must be a way to deal with the navy, deterrence is enough, you can act according to your own circumstances."

"The next official takes orders!" Cao Bianjiao said.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was pushed ashore at this time, and went straight to Yang Sichang.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was in a mess, drenched all over, with loose hair, and his face was calm after despair. He looked at Yang Sichang and the others, and said, "I only have one question."

It is very blunt, but the expression is very clear. It is the words of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Sichang looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "I have something to say to His Majesty the Emperor Yingming Shenwu: If you want to win an unprecedented victory, you must stand tall, see far, and walk fast. Only in the front can we be invincible."

Nobuzuna Matsudaira showed no expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Are you referring to firearms?"

The smile on Yang Sichang's face was not the taunt from the winner to the loser, but a kind of reverence, and said: "You understand it one-sidedly, firearms are only one aspect. This war is also true, Your Majesty has long expected your sneak attack. "

Matsudaira Nobuzuna showed a strange expression on his face, then shook his head slightly, and said, "Since you don't want to tell, I won't ask, what are you going to do with me?"

Yang Sichang looked at him and said, "You could choose to die yourself, why didn't you die?"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna did not speak, but took a serious look at Yang Sichang, turned around and left.

Yang Sichang looked at his back and said to himself: "This person may be of great use in the future."

Qian Jinxiao said: "I have something in my heart, so I don't want to die. It should be useful to me."

On the Tsushima Island side, the Ming Dynasty was victorious, the Chikuzen Domain, and Tadatoshi Aoyama of Hirado Castle had been looking in the direction of Tsushima Island.

Looking at Tsushima Island, which seemed to be peaceful, the sky was gradually brightening. His stern face was like cast iron, and his eyes were icy cold.

If Nobuzuna Matsudaira succeeded, it would definitely not be so quiet, and the faint sound of cannons last night did not seem like Xiyi cannons.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Tadatoshi Aoyama instinctively guessed a certain possibility.But he doesn't want to believe it, and he can't believe it. This is the key to Wa country's decisive blow and turn defeat into victory.

If it fails, the Wa Kingdom will be completely passive, and will fall into a hard fight, with unpredictable victory or defeat!

The sky gradually brightened, and the sea was still calm. There was no agreed signal, and no ship reporting. Everything was very quiet, eerily quiet.

Chapter 1371 Tokugawa Iemitsu's Killing Intent

The silent silence will generate a kind of fear, which is emitted from the heart and makes the whole body cold.

Tadatoshi Aoyama didn't speak, he just looked in the direction of Tsushima Island, the big names behind him, feudal lords, and family governors were as anxious as they were.

In their view, the rise and fall of the shogunate depended on one action. If Nobuzuna Matsudaira never returned, the defeat of the shogunate would be sealed.

Time passed little by little, and each point tested everyone's patience. Not everyone could bear this kind of suffering.

More than a dozen daimyos, house governors, with serious expressions and heavy breathing, but their throats seemed to be blocked, and they felt as if they were about to suffocate.

The tense atmosphere spread here, shrouded, and could not be dissipated. No one spoke, only the restless hearts were beating, which could be heard clearly, like drums.

This kind of atmosphere is enough to drive people crazy. Finally, a daimyo couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Izumori..."

Qingshan Zhongjun's complexion was iron, and the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible. The corners of his face twitched, and he said: "The order is to send the army to the east and return to the Guanmen Strait."

Aoyama Tadatoshi's words were tantamount to a death sentence for Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and also eliminated the trace of luck in their hearts.

The governor of the Kameda family was still not reconciled, and said: "Izumori, let's wait a little longer, maybe the battle is fierce, and it's too late for Matsudaira to send a message back."

As soon as he finished speaking, two other daimyos answered, still holding out hope, staring at Aoyama Zhongjun with extreme fear in his heart, expecting him to give them hope.
