Although Japan is small, there are many vassal states. For example, there are eleven small countries such as Satsuma, Osumi, Hinata, Feihou, Feihou, Buhou, Buhou, Buhou, Fenghou, Fenghou, Buhou, Buhou, Buhou, Buhou, Tsuma, Tsuma, Iki, etc. The entire Japan was as many as 66 countries during the Warring States Period.

There are so many small countries, and Japan is in turmoil. During the Warring States Period, the princes attacked each other and fought each other for more than a hundred years. Although the Tokugawa Shogunate finally ended the turmoil of the Warring States Period, Japan was not a monolithic piece at this time. It is more than a hundred years to conceive how deep the enemies between these princes were, and it is not something that can be forgotten in just over a decade.

When the Tokugawa Shogunate was strong and his army was strong, the princes of all walks of life naturally did not dare to act rashly, and could only obey and disobey. However, after the "mysterious" disappears, the princes of all walks of life are a little ready to move again.

Of course, this is not really moving. The princes are not fools. They are not fools. They are not allowed to be the first to be the leader. Although the Tokugawa clan's army has disappeared, the family governor is still there. Tokugawa Iemitsu still has a little prestige. If he gathers Su Lao, the retainers who were enfeoffed to various places, it is not impossible to gather a large army of 100,000. Therefore, the princes are waiting and waiting. If the Tokugawa clan can survive this crisis and clean up the chaos in Jiuzhou in one fell swoop, then they will continue to endure. If the Tokugawa clan is unable to clean up the mess and can only watch the chaos in Jiuzhou, then they may not be able to follow them.

Everyone can wait, but Yuhuang Takawa cannot wait, because the source of the turmoil, Amakusa Shiro was involved in his command, and the disappearance of the "mystery" of the Tokugawa shogunate army was inseparable from him. The Tokugawa clan would definitely not let him go.

He now has an army of 100,000, and the Tokugawa clan has 20,000 to 30,000 troops left. What is he afraid of?

This war cannot be just about the strength of the troops. The Tokugawa clan does not have as many troops as he is, but he is a general of the shogunate. With the order, he could gather at least 100,000 troops. Toyotomi Hideyoshi recruited more than ten princes to land on Jiuzhou. The supreme Satsuma lord Shimazu Yoshihiro directly became a monk and became a monk. The Emperor Takawa Yu-gun did not want to become a monk.

So, according to the instructions given by Zheng Zhilong, he contacted the princes who had a grudge against the Tokugawa clan everywhere, lobbying them to deal with the Tokugawa clan and divide the Japan. However, they didn't even pee at all. What kind of onion is your Takawa clan? What kind of virtue can you do? Why do we have to form an alliance with you?

It’s not their arrogance. These princes are all famous families. The origin of the family can be traced back hundreds or even hundreds of years ago. I don’t know how many generals Daming in the family have been released. As for the Tianchuan family, there is only one who made an iron. He was a iron, his father also a iron, and his grandfather also a iron. To trace the origin of the family, the Tianchuanyu royal family may have a history of thousands of years. His ancestors’ surname was Weng, and his ancestral home is Fujian... Well, it’s better not to trace these. If you know, it will be a big trouble.

Seeing that the Satsuma family had been beaten down, but there was no progress in Tianchuan Yuhuang's place. Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be anxious. If he dragged on, it would be the New Year. If Tokugawa was relieved, the years would be gone, and these few months would be in vain. No, he couldn't wait any longer.

Zheng Zhilong immediately summoned Zheng Zhihu, Wang Zhengnan, Hong Xu, Gan Hui and Shi Daxuan to discuss countermeasures. They were all from the army. There was no good advice on how to lobby these people. The way they finally discussed was to use force. The Japanese under Hong Xu and Gan Hui led the Japanese under Jinyiwei masters to sneak into the state, pretending to be the men of various princes to fight and stir up trouble, and they tried their best to provoke them. They always had to fight and let Japan return to the Warring States Period.

Now Honshu Island is lively. Today, the generals of the Oda family led people to rob the goods of the Maori family. Tomorrow, the retainers of the Hojo family led people to rob the food and grass of the Ida family. Sometimes, an old man from the Uesugi family was assassinated, and sometimes, a general of the Asakura family was killed...

If such things happen once or twice, everyone may be able to bear it, but it is inevitable that such things happen every day. But they are not doing these things, so how can they make a difference? In the end, they can only start a fight.

If it were the case before, the Tokugawa shogunate would have sent people to mediate or even sent troops to suppress it, but now the Tokugawa clan is so anxious that he is too busy to take care of them.

Seeing that the Tokugawa clan was not silenced, the princes became even more courageous. They all started to recruit soldiers, conquered cities and territories, and attacked each other. As a result, the wars broke out everywhere on the island of Honshu, and the princes fought happily. Japan finally returned to the Warring States Period.

There was chaos in the Honshu, and the Takawa clan also began to launch an attack. At this moment, the Tokugawa shogunate must not be able to control them. When the Tokugawa clan was unified in Japan, the Tokugawa clan had a mortal enemy with many princes. The Honshu was full of war and they dared to send troops to Jiuzhou again. Their enemies would definitely take the opportunity to take over their old nest.

The Tokugawa clan dared not send troops, so the Takawa clan could naturally unify the Jiuzhou with confidence.

The current situation in Jiuzhou is still very beneficial to the Takawa clan. The three old forces have all had serious problems. The Shimazu clan of the Satsuma clan was killed for invading the vassal state of Ryukyu, which was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Their strength is not as strong as before. The Oto clan of the later generations was even more powerful. After that, the territory fell apart, and no one among the retainers was urinating, and there was no threat at all. To be said, the strongest one now is the Ryuzoji clan of the Himefa Kingdom. Of course, they are also defeated. The current Ryuzoji clan is the Kumami clan in the Ryuzoji clan, but their strength is basically still.

It can be said that as long as you defeat the Ryuzaoji family in the same country of Feiqian, the great cause of unifying the Jiuzhou was completed by half. Emperor Yu of Takawa directly sent Amakusa Shitaki, Takawa Hongxu and Takawa Kasui to lead 90,000 troops to attack the Ryuzaoji family's territory.

The Ryuzoji family is in power now. Katsushima Katsushima, who has participated in the Battle of Sekigahara, and he is not aware of military tactics. He calculated that his subordinates had less than 50,000 troops in total. If they were dispersed and resisted, they would definitely be defeated one by one. It would be better to gather all the people and horses in Saga Castle and rely on the Castle to fight against the Takawa clan. Perhaps there is still a chance of winning.

So, the Battle of Saga, a number of large-scale battles in Japan's history, began. Well, why are they said to be several large-scale battles in history? Japan is not the Ming Dynasty. It is so small and there are so many princes. The princes generally have only a few thousand men under their command. It is a big battle to have tens of thousands of people participating in the war. There are not many battles like this, with more than 100,000 people participating in the war. Therefore, the Battle of Saga can definitely be regarded as several large-scale battles in Japan's history.

This battle was a siege battle with a combination of hot and cold weapons. The attacking party was Hiramae Hirado who replaced the Takawa clan in Matsuura. The number of participants was 90,000, with the main general Amakusa Toshita, deputy general Takawa Hongxu, and Takawa Katsuki. The defense party was Hirama Saga who replaced the Ryuzoji clan in the Kumami family. The number of participants was less than 50,000, with the main general Katsushima Katsushima.

It makes sense to say that all the princes in this prefecture look down on Emperor Yu of Tianchuan. If you are a blacksmith, you know what to do when fighting? So what if you have 100,000 troops under your command? Do you know how to arrange troops?

Emperor Yu of Takawa does not know how to fight. If he was asked to command 90,000 troops, it would definitely be a mess. If the enemy did not need to fight, he would collapse. But he would not know how to be Amacao Shisato. Amacao Shisato can be said to be a genius general. However, in history, he was directly besieged by 120,000 shogunate troops in the dilapidated original city. He lacked weapons, cut off food and grass, and no foreign aid. That was the case with Amacao Shisato held on for three months. You should know that he had more than 30,000 farmers under his command, and only more than 10,000 people were truly capable!

It's different now. He has 90,000 troops under his command, with excellent weapons and sufficient food and supplies. In addition, he has received professional training from Ming army aid personnel and has a very detailed understanding of various tactics. At the same time, he has used muskets and artillery for a year, and has mastered the use of thermal weapons. It is more than enough to deal with the 50,000 troops of the Dragon Temple family.

He first used psychological tactics, surrounded by three quarts and one, only surrounded by three northwest and south sides of Saga City, leaving the east side without surrounding, so that the enemy could have hope of escaping without fighting to the death;

Then he used the tactic of "striking the east and attacking the west", allowing Hong Xu and Gan Hui to lead 20,000 troops to attack on both sides of the north and south, while he himself led 50,000 main forces to live in the west of the city. As the main force of the attack, if he doesn't move, he will have a full blow;

In the end, he used the Ming army's barrage tactics to suppress the enemy's army on the city wall, and 50,000 infantrymen rushed to the city wall in one go.

At that time, there were not many generals in Japan who had learned military tactics. Even if they had learned it, they were military books and classics passed down from the Ming Dynasty. They introduced pure cold weapons tactics. Someone may understand the three circumferences and one harmonious attacks in the front, but the last barrage tactics are the pure hot weapons tactics recently summarized by the Ming army. No one in Japan has heard of them. No one will be at a loss no matter who encounters them.

Amacao Shizhen first asked Hong Xu and Gan Hui to attack on the north and south for a few days. After the enemy troops on the west were attracted to the north and south, he immediately launched a general attack. Three hundred artillery pieces were densely arranged by him, and they blasted wildly at a section of the city wall on the west. Then the 50,000 main forces rushed up like a tide.

The defenders in the city were stunned. The shells in the section of the city wall attacked by the Tianchuan army were like raining. Who dared to go over? It turned out that the person guarding there was either killed by the shells or hiding behind the female wall, trembling. How dare he stand up to defend the city? Amakura Shizaki attacked the city wall in one go.

Since the city wall has been attacked, the battle is basically over. You should know that there are less than 50,000 people in the city, and on average, there are more than 10,000 people on each side. In addition, most of the enemy troops on the city wall on the west have been lured to the north and south sides. At this moment, there are less than 5,000 people guarding the west, and how can you stop it from 5,000 to 50,000?

Katsushima Katsushima made another fatal mistake in a hurry. He actually transferred most of the defenders from both sides of the north and south to the west to support, leaving only a little people to defend the north and south. You must know that Hong Xu and Gan Hui were still under the city wall. As soon as he transferred the people away, Hong Xu and Gan Hui changed from feint attack to real attack and rushed directly to the city wall.

There is nothing to fight when the battle is broken on all sides. Katsushima Guoshi has to command his subordinates to escape from the east, but was led by Amakusa Shisato's army to chase and fight. Less than 10,000 people actually ran away, and the Ryuzaji family was finished.
