Beiyang new warlord

As long as Matsudaira Nobuzuna can hold his breath, victory will belong to him sooner or later. This is like the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping during the Warring States period of China. Lian Po, the leader of the Zhao Kingdom in the early days, could see that the Qin army's labor division expedition could not eat him, and he insisted on procrastinating. However, as soon as Zhao Kuo was replaced, Zhao Jun dispatched by the Qing Army fell into the encirclement of the Qin Army in the first battle. After fighting hard for more than 40 days, 40 Zhao Jun died and were trapped. The killing of the pit, the strength of the entire Zhao country was wiped out.

Since you can't be Zhao Kuo, then Matsudaira Nobugang will be Lian Po!He has many advantages over Lian Po. He is from the Yusan family, and has an extremely close relationship with the shogunate, so he is not suspected. As long as the war is dragged to April or May, Mao Jue will either starve to death or return empty-handed.

But literati have this problem, they understand it in their hearts but don’t say it, a dozen old devils are chattering there and talking non-stop, this contemporary think tank of the Kuroda family is also swaying, Zhuge Liang, who is a copycat, shakes a fan and comes out with a smile the door.

Around six o'clock in the evening.

Under the supervision of the musketeers at the top of the city, these devils cleaned up the battlefield in a regular manner, and directly threw the dead into the trenches. The scars on the ground that had been dug for more than half a month healed up bit by bit.

"How are the casualties today?"

"440 three!"

This short number made Mao Jue unable to help but remain silent for a while. After all, this man did three waves of [-] devil warriors regardless of the cost. Humans are not machines after all. Killing [-] people, and self-defeating [-] are unavoidable. On average, he was killed half of the regiment, and compared to the one-twentieth loss of the Japanese, the loss ratio of the Dongjiang Army, which adopted the elite soldier policy, was actually greater.

Especially looking at the Japanese army who buried the trenches below, Mao Jue was even more silent.

"General Xiao Mao, these Japanese are not fighting anymore, how are we going to fight?"

A deep voice sounded beside him. Although Li Shanhai is an idiot in terms of military strategy, he can't be a real idiot if he can become a military judge. He could clearly see what the plan was. Even now, he still had no confidence in Mao Jue's plan, and his voice was full of emptiness and doubt.

It's a pity that it's up to people to make things happen, and Mao Jue didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only hum and tilt his head to Shen Rong beside him.

"Is what I told you ready?"

"Master Hui, everything is packed!"

"Come on, let's go! This dead man can't die in vain, at least I have to take back the war dividends first."

"The last will obey!"

With his hands behind his back, Mao Jue walked down from the city wall with an air of pride again.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the decisive battle was obviously a physical effort for the Dongjiang Army. In the fires, the sea fish caught near Iki Island were wiped with salt and roasted directly. These days, the fishery industry is far from being as developed as later generations. The sea fish caught was very fat, and the fish oil dripped into the fire, making a popping sound.

It's just that the amount of rice and steamed buns that are the staple food seems to be a little less today.

In the most southwestern part of Tucheng, a tent was brightly lit, and dozens of guards guarded the vicinity, listening faintly, and could hear some sounds that made the blood boil late at night.

In the small island movies that later generations have seen, there is no lack of the element of witches. Today, it was realized by the Dongjiang Army. The Suwa God Army attacked twice, and all the priestesses of the eleven Suwa Shrines were captured by the Dongjiang Army. These girls After all, she is a "kind-hearted" witch. Today, there are many Dongjiang soldiers who have been "traumatized". As priests, they should not be able to refuse their needs, right?As a result, a hundred or so meritorious soldiers lined up outside the tent to accept the "comfort" from the Japanese witches one by one.

Hmm, no one noticed that it was next to such a "noble" tent, inside the small black and inconspicuous tent, General Tieyi Mao Jue, Li Chaobing judged Li Shanhai, and Ming and Li Chao Several generals from all over the country gathered together, and on the opposite side were a few crooked Japanese people, and there were even two foreign monks with silver crosses hanging on them.

With a bang, the seven flags, the general flag, the four horse seals, and a large pile of ceremonial guards were proudly thrown to the ground by Da Dahai. These things can be called the soul of the entire army. Being captured shows how miserable the Japanese army was defeated today. Looking at this blood-stained guy, several orders from Nagasaki Castle, the eyelids of the rich business representatives couldn't help but twitch a few times.

With this expression, Mao Jue raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Like Matsudaira Nobuzuna who figured it out, Mao Jue came to Japan to make a fortune. Even if the trench was dug under the wall in the morning, Mao Jue could hold it with only kerosene and firearms. The samurai battle, of course, Mao Jue is not crazy, since he paid the price, then he must get something back from other places to make up for it, this place is Nagasaki Castle!

The shogunate did put in a lot of effort, but in the eyes of Nagasaki Castle, even the warriors who attacked in this way could not save the fate of Nagasaki Castle, so they need to save themselves!

After a dead silence for a while, even a fat monster would get tired of eating, the fat man finally broke the silence, stood up and bowed abruptly.

"The general's bravery is admired by villains. Even the dragon bishamen Tensugami Kenshin of the Eastern Kingdom of Echigo back then is not as good as the general! But general, why do you repeatedly add the wrath of thunder to the city of our innocent city?" head?"

"Hmph, innocent? Where is this place, Nagasaki! In the land where the southern barbarians wandered, how much bloody and ill-gotten wealth fell into your hands from the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You supported the Japanese pirates secretly, but when you faced the heavenly army to ask for it, you did not Don't you think it's funny to pretend to be innocent with this general?"

The faces of the Nagasaki representatives who heard this turned ugly, and they lowered their heads and chattered for a while. It is true that it is not even an open secret that Nagasaki businessmen buy Japanese pirates. It is a fact, but there is no international law these days. Your generals of Ming Dynasty don’t fight Japanese pirates, but you bully us businessmen by picking soft persimmons, which is typical and unreasonable!

Fortunately, even if these Japanese businessmen didn't understand it, they were muttering and explaining there, and put aside their relationship with the Japanese pirates, but there were still two sensible people at the scene, so why would they be guilty if they wanted to be punished?Having dealt with pirates a lot, the two Dutch priests straightly joined hands and saluted and stood up.

"The general's anger is understandable. General, what conditions do you want to save Nagasaki City from your anger?"

This remark made several other representatives of Nagasaki understand. Now is not the time to be reasonable, the cannon is the truth! Even if Mao Jue said that the moon rises during the day and the sun rises at night, they have to agree if they want to survive, and finally After shutting their mouths, the guys looked at Mao Jue eagerly like babies who were looking forward to candy.

He is also a cheerful person, my brother Mao in society, Mao Jue also stretched out two fingers without delay.

"One million taels of silver, one hundred thousand shi of rice!"

These words made several Nagasaki rich merchants look ugly again. One million taels of silver is easy to say, and each family can get it out, but one hundred thousand shi rice grains, this is life! Now Nagasaki City can be found in Mao Jue Under the siege of the city, Mao Jue refused to retreat if the food was handed over, and the whole city would starve to death within a few days.

"General of the Celestial Dynasty, Nagasaki City is willing to pay 150 million taels of silver. Nagasaki City really can't afford so much for this rice grain!"

"How about we make a bet? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, within three days, Matsudaira Nobuzuna will not dare to move a single soldier. In three days, the world will break through Nagasaki City and burn it to a white ground, just like Same as last year!"

The blatant threat made several fat men shudder, and they looked at each other for a while, and these people nodded their heads timidly.

"Just as the general said!"

In the early morning of the next day, the corner gate of Nagasaki City in the southeast of the earth wall finally opened with a bang, and the carts pushing grain and silver came out continuously, and began to slowly fill Mao Jue's already depleted granary. , Dongjiang Army finally received the first war benefits.

It's really ridiculous. Outside the city, a hundred thousand shogunate samurai did not hesitate to fight to the death to defend this Nagasaki city, but on the other side, Nagasaki city sent food and silver to the enemy's pockets without hesitation. , If he knew, Matsudaira Nobuzuna would probably die of anger first, and then cheat the dead pigs to chop off all these dead fat pigs with his own hands.

However, this is the reality of this era, not only in this country, but also in the Ming Dynasty. Mao Jue himself is better, knowing that he cannot sell contraband such as metal and iron, but the Jinshang Group, the biggest beneficiary of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, can There are not so many scruples. Among these families, there have been prime ministers like Zhang Siwei and many high-ranking officials. They don’t hesitate to take all the goods that Houjin needs to go to the grassland. Products of.

In this regard, Mao Jue couldn't laugh at these Nagasaki businessmen with full confidence. Fortunately, he was not a mental cleanser, and he could bear some gray areas.

Curry had enough food again, even though Li Shanhai's shaking heart became more stable, he continued to accompany Mao Jue and continued to play this big-eyed and small-eyed game, and the battle situation dragged on so calmly until the end of January, but Just at the beginning of February, a sudden incident broke the stalemate.

"what?"

Standing up from the military bench suddenly, full of disbelief, Matsudaira Nobutsuna roared and saved the messenger's neck.

"Can you say that again!"

Chapter 2 Sixteen. Breaking the Game

"The general's magic trick!"

These days, under Dong Jiang's command, I'm still a bit reserved, always treat myself as a person, and vaguely regard myself as Mao Jue's ally, but this time, Inoue Fujitaro, the leading party, completely used his face as the sole of his shoes, and directly knelt down fiercely On the ground, he said with unprecedented excitement.

"The news came back from the ninja under his command that the boy surnamed Amakusa really has the ability. Both Shimabara Castle and Amakusa Castle have rebelled! Hizen and Higo's army gathered in Nagasaki Castle, but their backs were on fire, and the back road was blocked. Cut off, the [-] shogunate troops are simply worms under the general's hands, and this city of Nagasaki will no longer be the general's meal, hahahaha!"

No wonder Inoue Fujitaro was excited. He was Mao Jue's lackey. Mao Jue ate meat and always left him some soup. During the last battle of Nagasaki, he followed Mao Jue's influence from a small Suko Ronin, The local ninja leader has become the largest ninja leader in Nagasaki, almost unifying the ninja ronin forces here. This year, even the townspeople and samurai who were relocated from Osaka and Kaishi by the shogunate have to be right. He has three points of latitude and longitude.

If Mao Jue goes crazy again this time, he will beat all the big names from Kyushu that have gathered Shimadzu, Nabeshima, Kuroda, Youma, Xichuan, etc. to the ground in one go. Jue's reputation, as a running dog, he can also stretch out his tentacles. Although it is a bit of an option to dominate the Kyushu, it is more than enough to be a fat former overlord. Thinking of a better tomorrow, this guy can't help but shine golden eyes.

Seeing this guy kowtow on the ground, not only Mao Jue, but even Li Shanhai, who was as pessimistic as he was, couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.

To be honest, Mao Jue's strategy is far inferior to Zhuge Liang's and Sima Yi's ability to take one step and see ten steps, but his greatest honor is that he is a time traveler, he knows what happened, and knowing it is easier than predicting it out of thin air. Know how many times.

As it is now, he knew that there was a guy named Amakusa Tokisada who was capable of setting off an unprecedented rebellion. As early as last year after the capture of Nagasaki City, he entrusted Inoue Fujitaro to cultivate it secretly. When Mao Jue needed it most, the fire was lit.

Moreover, what Amakusa Shizhen burned was not an ordinary fire. His uprising involved the extremely serious social conflicts that have always been in Kyushu Island.

Prohibition!
