Beiyang new warlord

"But our task is completed, take it away, and go back to the military judge!"

Little life saved?Hearing this, this guy with an IQ no higher than two liang immediately jumped up, and the fox pretended to be a tiger and threw a Japanese warrior out.

"Leave me to Asiba!"

"What? The entire Japanese camp is empty!"

Still drinking tea in the tent, listening to Pu Ada's return, Li Shanhai choked out a mouthful of tea and stood up in disbelief.

Looking outside the camp, after a long while, this old bastard who had experienced the political field shook his head viciously with emotion.

"Two ruthless people! How unfortunate is it for me, the Li family, to be caught in the middle of such ghosts and freaks?"

2 Chapter Twenty

Soldiers who, deception also!

The vernacular of the translation is a bit of a f*cking thrill in war. Sometimes the winner and the loser are in the middle of a thought, but they are hesitant. Those who wait foolishly are not even qualified to succeed. May become a star.

Although he was defeated, Matsudaira Nobuzuna, who is known as the Izu think tank, is definitely qualified to be called a famous general, because he never procrastinates when it is time to make a decisive decision. Unexpectedly, the Dongjiang Tieyi Army was once thrown into a mess, and defeating the Dongjiang Army was the only way for the Kyushu Shogunate crusade team to turn defeat into victory.

It's a pity that what he met was Mao Jue. The training, tactical thinking, and weapon equipment of the two armies were too different. He launched this decisive battle under unfair circumstances. million people.

And this Nobuzuna Matsudaira quickly made a second decision, if he can't beat it, run away!

It has become a mistake for the shogunate's Kyushu crusade to gather on the narrow terrain at the southernmost tip of Nagasaki Castle. Then, how to preserve the maximum strength, withdraw from the battlefield decently, or accumulate strength, or defend and counterattack? No one would have imagined that Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the chief general, had just experienced a major defeat, regardless of the damage and exhaustion of the troops, Matsudaira Nobuzuna took advantage of the midnight to pull out the camp and flee to the former country stationed on Honshu Island, the Nagato country !

Thanks to Mao Jue's scorched-earth policy, after Shimabara Castle was burnt to half a piece of white land, Japanese pirates and East China Sea pirates rushed into the Tangjin Domain, and then swept the Hizen Kingdom north of Nagasaki.

After all, the main purpose of pirates is to get rich, don't care about robbing Japan or Daming, Amakusa Tokisada is even more extreme, all those who don't believe in religion are his enemies, and establishing a kingdom of gods on earth is his ultimate goal, although the two parties belong to Mao Jue Allies, but not doing chores for him, everyone has their own little plans.

The territory of the Japanese kingdom is really not big. They set off around one o'clock that night and marched across Shimabara Castle in the early morning. Except for the corpses of Itakura Shigesho's command, they didn't encounter any siege and interception. They just looked at the scorched corpses with a ferocious and terrified appearance. , once again dealt a severe blow to the morale of the newly defeated shogunate, and many samurai with relatives or acquaintances walked out of this scorched earth crying loudly with their faces covered.

However, it seems that this has really achieved a very powerful effect. No one expected Matsudaira Nobutsuna to escape so decisively. At ten o'clock in the evening, the exhausted [-] army completely left the encirclement of Hizen Kingdom. , and arrived at Fukuoka Castle, Kuroda's residence city, at ten minutes after sunset.

It is located at the northernmost tip of Kyushu Island, next to the picturesque Hakata Bay, where the thrilling battle between Kublai Khan and the Kamakura shogunate took place. It was fully carried out, and there were still many Japanese merchant ships in Hakata Bay, an excellent harbor. At this time, the sea breeze was blowing, and the blood-red setting sun was rippling in the sea water, which was really beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is for these trance warriors, it is not as good as the [-] white rice in front of them. They fought for a whole day yesterday, and they are still in a state of escape from last night to this evening. The Japanese army has many infantry. The distance of a hundred miles is all walking on two legs, and they are not as good as Tie Yijun in terms of physique. At this time, all the warriors are already exhausted and in a trance.

The Fukuoka Clan was bleeding heavily. As soon as these guys arrived, they immediately spread out their big belly in Fukuoka Castle Town. Bowl after bowl of rice was pulled into the belly, and the Ometsu who was sent to distribute the food could not even walk half a circle with the rice bucket. I have to go back to add food.

At the same time, withdrawing from the frightened battlefield, Kyushu daimyo's subordinates and shogunate Fudai retainers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They all gathered in the Fukuoka castle keep and had a feast.

Although you are a nobleman, the food you eat is not much better than the samurai army eating pickled radish. A bowl of miso soup, a bowl of chazuke rice, kombu, a few small dishes of pickled vegetables, and at most a grilled saury, It is delicious.

As a pro-vassal daimyo, Matsudaira Nobuzuna still received some preferential treatment. He actually ate noodles, but the famous Ichiraku ramen in later generations did not have a shadow at this time. The noodles were vermicelli introduced from China to Japan. Kelp, dried bonito, food for a family in later generations is also a rare delicacy in this era. Just watch a bucket of noodles quickly bottom out at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of this outstanding member of the three royal families.

Kuroda Nagamasa, who participated in the Sekigahara War, also passed away a few years ago. At this time, the Fukuoka Domain has completely fallen into the hands of various second generations. Compared with the samurai, the rich contemporary lord Tadashi Kuroda is more chubby like a wealthy businessman. He didn't even shave the samurai's crescent head. Instead, he hung a tall black hat on his head like a prince. When he smiled, his eyes were all bulging out of shape. With the green pine and brocade hunting clothes on his body, he looked like a samurai. a watermelon.

Smelling the scent of noodles, the majestic feudal lord secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, which is embarrassing enough.As if he was really afraid that he couldn't help being greedy, while Matsudaira Nobutsuna had finished his fifth bowl of noodles and hiccupped, the rich feudal lord hurriedly interjected with his fists in his hands.

"I don't know what's going on in the battle ahead? The hall has already received the news. The Jili Dantu rebelled, and the Matsuura people went ashore to plunder. The general fought very hard!"

The war finally reduced Matsudaira Nobuzuna's strong appetite a bit, and when he put down the sixth bowl of noodles, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"The Tang thief is powerful! The shogunate army tried their best, but they couldn't break the thief. I'm afraid that in a few days, the Tang thief will come to Fukuoka City. I hope the lord will make defense preparations as soon as possible. I am ashamed!"

Hearing what Matsudaira Nobuzuna said was serious, some other feudal lords and retainers couldn't help sighing and put down their jobs, especially Karatsu Fan and He Sa Fan. Within the attack range of the pirates, no matter Nabeshima or Hosokawa, even the Shimadzu family hiding at the back felt uneasy. Originally, it was the Tang pirates who were going to rob a city of Nagasaki. I don't understand how it became a war and spread throughout Kyushu Island.

But the most calm person here is actually the chubby Kuroda-sama, who is completely indifferent, and this guy just waved his hand carelessly.

"Don't worry, general. Although the Tang bandits are coming fiercely, who are we? The descendants of Genji and Heishi warriors, even the Mongols who swept the world back then, wouldn't they be wiped out under the gaze of our Amaterasu?"

"Besides, the shogunate has already announced the conquest of Kyushu, the main hall has just received the order, and the general personally issued an order to recruit all nations. The samurai in Kinki, China, and Kanto have also begun to gather. In just ten days, there will be an army of [-]. Gather in Zhou Fang, will you still be afraid of him as a Tang thief?"

Not to mention, the words of this watermelon really acted as a reassurance. A group of feudal lords heard that the frost on their faces finally melted, and they smiled. General Wu Yunchanglong or something, and the Shimadzu brothers over there were sour and then poured tea and rice into their stomachs. Even Nobuzuna Matsudaira couldn't help but relax and raised his chopsticks again, but did he eat? After taking two bites, his expression suddenly became serious.

Standing up abruptly and throwing the bowl away, this man grabbed Kuroda Tadashi's collar like a lunatic, almost picking up a 1.7-meter watermelon at a height of 1.5 meters.

"How could the shogunate issue an order to crusade against Kyushu? Lord Kuroda, how do you know?"

This year is not like the later generations. One phone call can be done for thousands of miles. Even if it is urgent for eight hundred miles, it takes three days to travel more than 2000 miles in Edo here, and it takes six days to go back and forth. The Shimabara Rebellion only started eleven days ago. On the fifth day, Amakusa Tokisada was just a bigger bandit leader with one or two thousand tents, and he had not yet threatened the Nagasaki Crusade Army. In terms of time, how could the shogunate have such a fast response speed.

"The official document delivered by the general himself! Passing the military order without authorization will be punished by caesarean section. How dare this hall take such a risk? Come and present the military order of His Royal Highness the general!"

It has been half a year since he supervised military affairs in Kyushu. When Mao Jue didn't come, Nobutsuna Matsudaira had already started to organize the Kyushu Tang defense. It was impossible for him to admit that the shogunate's military order was wrong, and depending on the time, it was indeed wholesaled three days ago. Looking at this thing, he picked up Kuroda Tadyuki's collar even more worriedly.

"As early as six days ago, you knew that Shimabara Kazukui and Matsuura Ronin had entered the bandits?"

"I, I got some news, but there is no proof in this hall! We can only send Muzuke to pass the news to Edo, and pass it on to the old middle-aged Master Qingshan to make a decision. How did Master Qingshan decide, and this hall can't do anything about it?"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira himself is to blame for this matter. There is an idiom that is proud of its talents. In the regional discrimination of Japanese in later generations, there are still people from Kyushu that cannot be provoked, not to mention that he is now a think tank in Izu. In addition to driving these Kyushu forces, he I really didn't pay attention to these country bumpkins in Kyushu. I guess Kuroda Tadayuki told him that the Shimahara Rebellion would become uncontrollable, and he didn't believe it.

Holding the military order, his face changed several colors, he opened the window suddenly, looked at the vast Hakata Bay below the castle tower, turned around suddenly again, and the old devil yelled out all the orders People are all stunned to speak.

"Tomorrow, the whole army will cross the sea and go to Edo!"

puff~

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, the leader of the Satsuma Clan, simply sprayed out a taste of Zengtang and coughed violently several times. He stood up angrily just now, and yelled angrily.

"General Matsudaira, take everyone to Edo, do you want to rebel?"

"We are the Nagasaki subjugation team. What are we going to do in Edo? The "Samurai Laws" states that those who are good at fighting with the feudal lord daimyo will be sentenced to caesarean section!"

Nakashin Terasawa of the Tangjin clan also yelled angrily. Now that the entire Kyushu is under the threat of the Matsuura pirates and Shimabara Kazuki, it is ridiculous to let them abandon Kyushu at this time and follow them to Edo inexplicably!

Also sweating from anxiety, Matsudaira Nobutsuna shook off the military order in his hand in an extremely irritable manner.

"Among the Tang thieves are proficient in the art of war, this is clearly to divert the tiger away from the mountains! The Tang thieves have big ships, no more than the Mongolian vassals, and let them gallop in the three thousand miles of sea! Once the Kinki troops are transferred to Kyushu, then the Tang bandits will be able to gallop thousands of miles across the Kanto, The whole world should shake!"

Not to mention, this old boy's mind is really fast, a few unconnected things add up, let him deduce a terrible result, listening to his roar, the entire castle tower is silent again, a dozen big names The feudal lord looked at him blankly.

But immediately, the green watermelon Kuroda Tadyuki seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on him, shaking his head desperately and talking.

""Samurai Laws", the local daimyo who is violent, commits seppuku, and the territory is confiscated in serious cases! General, this is just your reasoning. Without the order of the shogunate, the Kuroda family will not pass the Shimonoseki one by one!"

"I'm not going to the Shimadzu's either!"

"The Nabeshima family cannot agree to this matter!"

"The Hosokawa family must follow the order and stick to Fukuoka Castle!"

The shogunate’s rules for restricting local daimyos have now become a protective umbrella for the Kyushu daimyos. Listening to the roars, Matsudaira Nobuzuna’s handsome little white face almost turned into a purple eggplant, roaring with incomparable cups .

"If something happens in Kanto, can you bear it?"

"If there is none at all, and the shogunate blames it, can you afford it, the chief general?"
