The capital of Ishimi Province on the Honshu Island of Japan is said to be the capital, but in fact it is the same as the Otomo family's Higo capital. It is a very small city with low walls and low houses. It is too small to even ride around on horseback.
.
At this time, Polu Hou's 10,000-strong army had surrounded the entire small city. The samurai of the Ouchi family in the city were trembling with fear as they looked at the huge army outside.
"It can be taken down in half an hour~"
Yang Yun rode on his horse, looked at the small town in front of him with a telescope, and said very confidently.
"Wherever it takes half an hour, please give the general two thousand men, and I can open the city gates in a quarter of an hour to welcome the army into the city."
Beside Yang Yun, a Qianhu took the initiative to ask for a fight. The military power was returned to the emperor's hands. They, the generals and nobles, could finally raise their heads and no longer had to look at the faces of the civil servants, so each of them became more mature.
Get bellicose.
Especially the Polu Marquis Yang Yun beside him, who was originally just a big-headed soldier, but because he killed the little prince of the prairie, he is now a Polu Marquis, leading an army of tens of thousands to fight against the Japanese country.
This is definitely an encouragement to them. After all, there are role models around them. Who doesn’t want to be crowned a prince or prime minister, who doesn’t want to be granted the title of wife and son, and who doesn’t want to hold great power.
"Don't be anxious. It's best to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting. Find someone to go over and shout and let them open the door. If they are stubborn, let them have a taste of our Miyun cannon."
Polu Marquis Yang Yun thought for a while and shook his head slightly. After becoming a Marquis, he has been studying hard. Especially this time when he went to conquer Japan, he was also very nervous. He read a lot of military books, and he also often read Zhang Mao and Liu Jin.
, those around Wang Shouren knew something to some extent.
"Yes~"
Qianhu next to him nodded quickly.
Soon, someone arrogantly came to the city wall and started shouting loudly with a big iron trumpet. The content of the shouting was also very simple. It was nothing more than that your Japanese country had offended the Ming Dynasty, and the Ouchi family imposed heavy taxes on the Ming Dynasty merchants and looted them.
The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were a serious offense to the Ming Dynasty. Now the army of the Ming Dynasty has arrived and demands immediate and unconditional surrender. Otherwise, whatever happens.
"It's actually the army of the Ming Dynasty?"
"How did you get to our country, Ishimi?"
At the top of the city, the acting guardian of Ishimi Kingdom, Naito Hiroshi, was dumbfounded after hearing the shouting. The army outside the city turned out to be an army from the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Someone beside Hiroshi Naito said anxiously: "There are tens of thousands of them, and they are all wearing armor and have hundreds of artillery. Once they attack the city, a few hundred of us will not be able to defend it at all.
"
"I know~"
Naito Hiro nodded and said, at this moment, he didn't know what to do.
If he opens the door and surrenders, he will not be able to survive in the Ouchi family in the future. But if he does not open the door and surrender, once the Ming army attacks the city, how will hundreds of them reach the opponent's tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that the opponent is an army armed to the teeth.
.
Time passed slowly amid Naito Hiro's hesitation, and soon the time of a stick of incense passed.
"Fire~"
Seeing that the other party never opened the city gate, Yang Yun couldn't help but smile, and then ordered the firing without any hesitation.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Suddenly, more than a hundred Miyun cannons that had been aimed at them began to fire. With a deafening sound, cannonballs pierced the sky and landed on this small city.
Wave after wave of cannons roared continuously, and the shells relied on huge inertia to produce terrible destructive power. In the city, a large number of houses began to collapse, and at the same time, billowing smoke began to rise everywhere.
On top of the city wall, this is the place that needs to be taken care of. The dense artillery shells are constantly falling here, as if they have eyes, specifically falling on crowded places.
On the city wall, blood was spattered everywhere, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the low city wall seemed to be unable to withstand this terrifying bombardment.
"Surrender~We surrender unconditionally~"
Naito Hiro touched the blood on his face, and a cannonball just fell next to him, directly smashing the two samurai into bloody pieces and splashing on his face.
"It's so scary~"
"The Ming Dynasty's artillery is really terrifying~"
At this moment, his head was buzzing. There was only the deafening sound of the cannons and the flying cannonballs. He said anxiously to the warriors beside him.
Surrender quickly, otherwise their lives may be lost.
Soon, a white flag was raised on the city wall, and the city gate was slowly opened.
"Haha, surrender~"
When Poluhou Yang Yun saw it, he couldn't help laughing happily.
"Liu Jin is right. These Japanese people are all wolves. If you don't beat them, they will not know how to be afraid if you beat them until they hurt. They will also grin at you. Only beating them will make them feel better."
Beat them until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen, and until they are frightened, they will be as docile as dogs and as obedient as dogs."
Then Yang Yun couldn't help but heard Liu Jin's words, so he smiled and said to the thousands of households around him.
"Haha~ Zhuangyuan Lang is right. These Japanese people are so unstoppable that they dare to impose heavy taxes on our Ming Dynasty merchant ships and even dare to attack our Ming Dynasty merchant ships. If we don't uproot this family, they won't know how to be afraid.
of."
"Yes, after occupying this place, we will continue to go to Nagato and Zhou Fang to kill the Ouchi family."
The many thousands of households nearby also started shouting, and it was a comfortable battle.
"Enter the city~"
"Capture all the people of the Ouchi family, as well as these Japanese warriors and soldiers. I heard that some merchants are buying slaves and plan to use them to reclaim wasteland in Ryukyu. Maybe they can be sold to them by then.
them."
Yang Yun smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and led his troops into the city.
As for the surrendered Japanese and the Ouchi family members, he had already thought of a way out.
Liu Jin has made it clear that he will occupy Ishigami Country for a long time in the future and open a silver mine here, so Liu Jin does not intend to let them go for the Ouchi family and the samurai group who rule here.
It is necessary to conduct a thorough cleanup here and clean up these old forces, so that it will be much easier to manage Ishikami in the future.
The Japanese people at the bottom are still useful. In the future, when the silver mines are opened, people will definitely be needed. When the time comes, these Japanese people at the bottom can be hired.
After successfully taking over the Ishijian Kingdom, Yang Yun also began to follow Liu Jin's instructions and did not rush to attack other places in the Ouchi family. Instead, he began to look for a suitable place to build on the coastline to the north of Ishijian Kingdom.
port.
From now on, this will be the most important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in Japan. Not only does it have a huge silver mine, but it will also be the place where the Ming Dynasty will garrison in the future. Also because of its special geographical location, future fleets heading to Huangjinzhou can also pass here.
Liu Jinke planned to build this place into an important colonial point on the route to Golden Continent.
Therefore, this port must be built. In addition, the Iwakami Kingdom is too small and is still far away from the sea. Therefore, it will definitely be similar to Tianjin. We will continue to build a new district and rely on the port to build a prosperous city.
Colonial era port.
Of course, now we just need to find a place to build a port to facilitate the berthing of ships and the loading and unloading of goods. In the future, there will be a huge fleet of ships to continuously transport supplies. Without a port, it will be very inconvenient.
…
Tatorahama of Zhou Fangguo is the birthplace of the Ouchi family and the base of the Ouchi family.
"Report~"
"Ten thousand Ming troops landed in Shijian Kingdom, and Shijian Kingdom has fallen~"
A samurai hurriedly came to Ouchi Yoshihiro's side, barely able to take a breath.
"What?"
"The Ming army landed in Shijian country?"
When Ouchi Yoshihiro heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Before anyone sent to the Kyoto area heard the news, Ming's army had already arrived at Ishijian Country and captured Ishijian Country without any effort.
"It's over. Daming must be here to take revenge."
Then he began to walk around uneasily, thinking rapidly in his mind.
"Father, don't be afraid of them, just fight with them~"
At this time, Ouchi Yoshihiro's son Ouchi Yoshitaka stood up and said murderously.
"Pa~"
When Ouchi Yoshihiro heard this, he immediately slapped him in the face.
"What can we do to fight against the Ming army?"
"This time there are tens of thousands of Ming troops coming to our country. Even if we fight these 10,000 Ming troops, can we still fight tens of thousands of Ming troops?"
"Even if we win the fight, our Ouchi family will definitely be severely weakened. When the time comes, will the Nizi clan, the Mori clan, and the Shimazu clan on the Kyushu side, and the Ito clan let us go?"
Ouchi Yoshihiro looked at his son like a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour. This brainless thing thought about the problem so simply. He had a feeling that he hated iron but could not make steel.
"However, Akito has gone too far to deceive others. This undeclared war has directly occupied our Ishimi country. They may soon defend us and attack Nagato. Then we will still have to fight.
"
Ouchi Yoshitaka endured the burning pain, stood upright, lowered his head and said.
"You are right~"
After hearing this, Yoshihiro Ouchi nodded slowly.
Then he thought for a while and said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is using force against our entire Japanese country. This is not a matter for our Ouchi family, but for our entire Japanese country. Our Ouchi family cannot fight with them head-on. We have to deal with this matter
Spread to the entire Japanese country and let the shogunate discuss countermeasures."
"So what we have to do now is to slow down the attack and stabilize the Ming army first."
"Come here, send someone immediately to Shijian Country to see the Great Angel, give them generous gifts, and drag them along."
