Chapter 2330: Slaughter Japanese Order

Two consecutive pursuit failures also made Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo aware of the gap in war-making technology between the two countries.

If the Qin army cannot catch up, unless the Qin army takes the initiative to fight, the Japanese navy will have no choice but to follow the Qin army and blow the sea breeze at the speed of the Japanese navy.

Realizing this, the faces of the great names from various countries became extremely ugly. They gathered 70,000 naval troops and ambitiously wanted to defeat the Qin army, but they never expected that this would be the situation.

late at night.

"Report... report to the alliance leader that the Qin army has gone to the Five Islands again."

"What?"

After hearing the news, Oda Nobunaga summoned all the daimyo overnight to discuss how to respond.

After Dayou Zonglin learned about it, he immediately screamed because Great Qin was attacking their territory again.

Goto is an archipelago in western Kyushu, not far from Tsushima Island, with a total population of three to four thousand.

Da Qin slaughtered all Tsushima Islands, but spared the Goto Islands. Otomo Zonglin thought that Da Qin didn't know the location of the Goto Islands, but he didn't expect that he would be targeted in the end.

For the third time, Da Qin has set its sights on the islands near Kyushu. This is the plan to massacre all the Japanese people on the islands affiliated with Kyushu.

Now not only Sorin Otomo, but Takamoto Mori and Yoshihisa Shimazu also regretted not immediately relocating the people on the islands outside Kyushu.

But the key point is that the Qin army came so fast. They couldn't even mobilize their troops and generals. They were almost crazy busy these days, so they still had to worry about relocating the people.

What's more, even if he really wants to move, it will take time to move people, and there is no time to move in such a short period of time.

Otomo Sorin looked to Oda Nobunaga and the other two deputy leaders as if asking for help, hoping that they could lend a helping hand.

Takeda Shingen said with a cold face: "So what if I go? I just went to collect the corpse."

"you……"

Otomo Zonglin glared at Takeda Shingen and said: "Sir Takeda, don't forget that Kyushu suffered this disaster because you robbed the Central Plains. We are now taking the blame for your mistakes."

When Takeda Shingen heard this, his face instantly darkened. Although he also knew that they were responsible for this catastrophe, knowing it was one thing, and admitting his mistake was another. He, Takeda Shingen, is the kind of person who acknowledges his mistakes and corrects them, but he absolutely does not

People who admit their mistakes.

Takeda Shingen wanted to refute and scold Otomo Sorin, but was stopped by Oda Nobunaga.

"That's enough. We are facing a formidable enemy. Please stop this meaningless quarrel."

Oda Nobunaga now dare not say that he defeated the Qin army. After all, if the Qin army did not take the initiative to fight, they would not be able to catch up. It would be good if they could wear down the Qin army's logistics through a protracted battle and force the Qin army to retreat.

.

"The leader of this alliance has decided to send troops to rescue the five islands." Oda Nobunaga said solemnly.

Takeda Shingen looked ugly and said: "But this is meaningless."

"Even if it is destined to be useless, the Five Islands must be saved. If the Qin army is allowed to massacre our compatriots, how will the soldiers treat us?" Oda Nobunaga said seriously.

Takeda Shingen couldn't help but was startled. He immediately realized the intention and opened his mouth, but in the end he did not object.

Oda Nobunaga went on an expedition again, but it was still the same as the previous two times. When they arrived, the Qin army had just fled by boat, leaving only innocent corpses everywhere.

After Dayou Zonglin saw this scene, he felt dizzy.

Tsushima, Iki, and Goto were all the territory of the Otomo family, but they were all massacred by Da Qin, with the number of casualties reaching 13,000 or 4,000.

Such casualties may not be a big deal to the Tian family, which has a total population of three million, but to the Dayou family, which only has more than 40 people, it is already a considerable loss.

After seeing this tragic situation, Tachibana Michyuki's eyes were full of sadness, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Damn Great Qin, every grievance has its own debtor, and whoever kills the Han people is the one you want to take revenge on. Why do you want to kill my Otomo family?"

Innocent people.”

As soon as these words came out, Takeda Shingen and many others looked at Tachibana Michyuki, and their eyes suddenly became dangerous.

After Takeda Shingen winked at his men, Takeda Nobushige put his hand on the handle of the knife and reprimanded loudly: "Are you criticizing someone?"

Tachibana Michiyuki was completely angry and said coldly: "So what?"

"you……"

"That's enough."

Oda Nobunaga roared angrily, and then said: "Bury the dead people on the spot. In addition, immediately write a message to report the indiscriminate massacre of Ma Kingdom, Iki Kingdom, and Goto Island by Da Qin in the shortest possible time.

The whole country, let the people of the whole country know the atrocities of the Qin Dynasty."

After everyone looked at each other, they all nodded in agreement. After all, if the Qin army refused to fight, the battle would probably be protracted. If the hatred of the people across the country against Qin could be aroused, it would be easier for them to recruit troops and collect food in the future.

.

Although Japan has been learning from the advanced civilization of the Central Plains, it is obviously not that fast if it wants to be completely like the Central Plains. However, the changes in Japan have also progressed, and they are indeed visible to the naked eye, such as in the transmission of information.

Japan also learned from Da Qin and established a sound carrier pigeon communication system. In less than two days, the news of Da Qin's massacre of 15,000 innocent people on the three islands spread throughout most of Japan's urban areas.

As soon as this news came out, all Japanese people exploded.

The people of Japan were originally wondering why the eleven countries that were hostile to each other suddenly united. Now they finally understand. It turns out that the Qin Empire came to take revenge.

Although Oda Nobunaga also mentioned the reasons for Da Qin's revenge in his confession, they were all lies to justify his own side.

Oda Nobunaga only said in his statement that the coastal areas of the Qin Dynasty were plundered by Japanese pirates, but did not mention that this was a deliberate plan by Takeda Tokugawa and other countries. However, the overbearing Qin Empire did not listen to the Japanese explanation at all.

He even threatened to massacre one million Japanese people in revenge.

The people of Japan have only just begun to possess civilization, and most of what they have learned is the civilization of the Central Plains, so they naturally respect the Great Qin, the overlord of the Central Plains.

But no matter how awed he was, he was still outraged by Oda Nobunaga's lies and Da Qin's overbearing and unreasonable behavior.

There are so many people in Japan, so it is normal for some scum to appear. You, the Qin Dynasty, are angry at the entire Japan just because of a small number of scum. Isn't this too much?

The people of Japan who did not know the truth were furious and supported the Eleven-Nation Alliance one after another, and threatened to show the arrogance of Da Qin.

But even if they know their true intentions, it is estimated that these fools will still excuse themselves and be fooled by high-level officials who never admit their mistakes.

The support of the people gave Oda Nobunaga and others the confidence to fight a protracted war with Da Qin and Zhou Yu.

Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin and others thought that Zhou Yu was preparing for a protracted war, so they deliberately consumed Japan's resources, but they did not know that Zhou Yu did not want to fight a protracted war with them at all.

The reason why the people of the Three Islands were massacred was just to attract the attention of the Japanese navy and completely anger them, so the massacre will still continue.

In the next four days, Zhou Yu followed the same pattern, relying on the speed advantage of the warships to engage in maritime guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

Under the command of Zhou Yu, the Qin army successively captured eight islands including Okinawa, Osumi Islands, and Amami Islands, and massacred more than 20,000 people in Otomo and Shimazu.

There were also islands in Sou under the Maori family, but they were temporarily spared because they were located near Honshu.

In fact, as early as the massacre of the second island, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals approached Zhou Yu and clearly expressed their opposition to the massacre of the Japanese people.

"Gong Jin, we can't continue the massacre, otherwise it will definitely arouse mass opposition from the Japanese people. By then, my Japanese-conquering coalition will be unable to move forward in Japan."

Zhao Yun said with a serious face, not even calling Zhou Yu the Commander-in-Chief, which shows that the massacres during this period have made him dissatisfied with Zhou Yu.

Huang Zhong and other generals also agreed one after another. It was natural for them to kill the enemy, but they were disgusted from the bottom of their hearts when they attacked the civilians who had no power to restrain the chicken.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other land generals objected because they did not fight the Japanese pirates and did not know the brutality of the Japanese pirates and the tragic situation of the people of Qingzhou at that time.

Qi Jiguang, Li Shunchen and other naval generals all participated in that battle. They hated the Japanese pirates deeply and supported the massacre.

The two sides began to quarrel over whether to kill or not to kill.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu felt a little helpless. He knew from the beginning that the massacre would attract opposition. After all, the Qin army had very good military discipline and had never massacred innocent civilians. It was expected that the generals would be disgusted by this.

thing.

"Okay, don't make any noise."

After Zhou Yu spoke, all the generals shut up, but Zhou Yu said to Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, you only saw me slaughtering Japanese people. Do you know how many Han people were slaughtered when the Japanese invaded the eastern coast? How many people were displaced.

?”

Zhao Yun was silent. He was not too clear about this, but he also knew that the casualties must be considerable, otherwise there would never have been a four-nation alliance to conquer Japan.

"Let me tell you generals that when the Japanese invaders invaded the eastern coast, our country of Qin alone suffered casualties of 100,000 people, and as many as 30,000 people died directly. Nearly 70,000 people lost their homes and became homeless.

Can return.

The casualties of our Great Qin were already the smallest among the other countries. The casualties of the three kingdoms of Yan, Wu and Ming were far more than our Great Qin's. Among them, the greatest loss was suffered by the Wu Kingdom.

The number of casualties was as many as 400,000, more than 100,000 people died directly, and more than 300,000 people were left homeless.

According to statistics after the war, as many as 200,000 Han people died in the Japanese pirate rebellion two years ago, and as many as one million Han people had their homes destroyed."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was in a collective uproar. Most people's eyes were red, and they were gnashing their teeth, as if they wished they could eat the Japanese alive.

Dian Wei looked in disbelief and said, "How can there be so many?"

He thought that the Japanese pirate rebellion was just a small disaster, but he didn't expect that it involved millions of people, and 200,000 people died directly.

Zhou Yu said: "This is the battle damage statistics of various countries, there can be no falsehood.

The Japanese pirates knew how powerful our country was, but they still dared to attack the people of our country without mercy at all.

Since the Japanese can massacre the Han people, why can’t we Han people massacre the Japanese?”

Upon hearing this, all the generals who came to petition, including Zhao Yun, fell silent.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, massacres have become taboo.
