With the will of victory, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment immediately began to attack the city despite the fatigue of marching.

However, due to the lack of siege equipment and the lack of support from the Engineer Regiment, although everyone in the Fourth Infantry Regiment was brave and the defending enemy in the Tuhara City was extremely panicked, they were still unable to break through the city gate.

Li Dan, who came to his senses, immediately began to mobilize the whole city. A large number of Japanese ronin who were subordinate to Li Dan were recruited to the city, and the thugs raised by the overseas merchants in the city were also forced to recruit by Li Dan.

Adhering to the idea that there must be a brave man under heavy rewards, Li Dan ordered people to carry the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated in the warehouse for many years to the city, saying that as long as the people in the city were willing to go to the city to help the battle, they could grab it.

Faced with the temptation of gold and silver and the reputation of "Japan" for thirty years, many young and strong people in the city took money to the city, either helped carry supplies, threw stones under the city, or waved flags and shouted.

The fierce battle between the two sides ran from afternoon to evening. The second battalion of the Fourth Regiment rushed to the south gate of Tuyuan twice, but they were both repelled by the death-killing men organized by Li Dan, and there were hundreds of corpses left.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the Fourth Regiment still failed to break into the city. Yukiji Yamamoto felt ashamed and put on his armor with his heart of shattering, wanting to lead his troops to attack himself.

Deputy Captain Wu Sansi forcibly hugged Yamamoto and persuaded him hard. Only then did Yamamoto stop his irritable thoughts.

"I will give the first to Tuyuan to the Lord's sword and award the title of the First Warrior of the United Army!"

To inspire morale, Yuki Yamamoto took out the "I-Book" knife he had obtained from his lord earlier. The navy also sent reinforcements at this time. A team of 600 people rushed to Tuhara Castle with 23 large and small cannons dismantled from the ship, and then bombarded the city.

The joining of the Navy reduced the pressure on the Fourth Infantry Regiment, and 23 artillery pieces caused great trouble and damage to the Turhara Castle defenders.

By late at night, both armies lit bonfires, and the firelight was mirrored several miles away.

Wu Sansi, who was born in the hereditary military profession, proposed the art of attacking the heart. He ordered Fujian soldiers to hold iron tubes to shout in the city, saying that the Ming Dynasty imperial army conquered Japan this time to avenge the Japanese pirates' troubled China. Therefore, all Chinese people should help the imperial army together and should never be accomplices of the Japanese army, which would make their ancestors covered in dust and make compatriots difficult to reconcile.

It is also said that anyone who is in front of the formation will pardon his previous sins and will be given personal treatment to the emperor. If someone captures and kills the thief leader Li Dan, he will be given brocade clothes and flying fish clothes in his own army. If he is willing to be an official, he will be under the deputy general. If he is unwilling to be an official, he will be a hundred taels of gold.

Later, people were ordered to declare that once the imperial army broke the city, not only would the evil ones be punished by the king's law, but their families in the Ming Dynasty would also be implicated.

This strategy of attacking the heart is indeed effective. There are a large number of Chinese living in Tuhara City. They go to sea to be pirates, and can see the king's laws and lawlessness. However, if they land, they will be the people under the court, and even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about future generations.

In this way, the hearts of the people in the city began to float, and the resistance on the city was also very weak. The Japanese roninmen under Li Dan were all willing to fight to defend the city, but their immediate superiors were shaken one by one, and they made these roninmen feel at a loss.

"The emperor personally serves the country and the people!"

"The Chinese don't beat the Chinese!"

""

Under Wu Sansi's arrangement, the imperial army officers and soldiers shouted to the city in unison. Some Fujian soldiers even sang songs from their hometowns, asking the fellow villagers in the city to stop working for the Japanese. The battlefield uprising was glorious, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army and the Ming Dynasty court did not blame them for their past, and they also had a bowl of rice to eat in the vast sea.

When Li Dan on the city saw his subordinates looking at him with bad eyes and knew that it was not good. However, the Satsuma reinforcements had not arrived in the direction of Tsurumara Castle, he also retreated.

My nephew Li Si was determined to save his life, so he advised his uncle to withdraw quickly. If he was too late, he would really get into the city and his Li family would be in trouble.

Li Dan did not dare to hesitate and asked Li Si to quickly protect his tribe members from the north gate. Later, Li Dan took more than 200 confidants out of the city and left.

The news of "Kabidan" leaving the city quickly dispersed, and the offshore merchants in the city focused together and shouted that the family members who were guarding the city had put down their weapons.

At the third hour of Hai, Tuhara Castle surrendered.

After the Fourth Infantry Regiment and Navy officers and soldiers entered the city, they immediately controlled the city gates and blocked the roads in the city, strictly ordered residents in the city not to go out, and strictly ordered officers and soldiers not to disturb the people.

This is the military order of Eunuch Wei, and the base camp requires Tohara Castle as a key to Kyushu to control the Kyushu countries and the Satsuma vassal.

A city that can provide food, salary and manpower to the Imperial Army is much more important than a burned city.

After dawn, the chief of staff of the Joint Fleet and the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, Shen Yourong, entered the city to summon the Han people in the city to marches.

"As long as you sincerely regret it, you will no longer help Li Dan, the Japanese shogunate and the Ming Dynasty, and become enemies with the Imperial Army, you will recognize the imperial court and protect the Imperial Army."

After hearing what Chen Yourong said and seeing with his own eyes that the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty did not violate the people and merchants of Tuhara City, the offshore merchants in the city expressed their willingness to assist the Imperial Army in conquering Japan, which was not only atonement for their past sins, but also contributed to the great maritime cause of the Ming Dynasty.

With the help of these Han maritime merchants who were originally subordinate to Li Dan, the Imperial Army quickly stabilized the city of Tuhara. The Chinese and Japanese people in the city gradually became at peace.

Perhaps because of the long-term dealing with Chinese people, or perhaps because there are daughters in the family who marry Chinese women, the Japanese in Tuhara Castle are even very close to the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, an army from China.

When the third battalion of the Fourth Regiment was ordered to build a line of defense and prepare for the Satsuma army, the local Japanese actually came to help. Some Japanese also made their own ladders and said they would help the Imperial Army attack Tsurumaru Castle.

The relationship between the military and civilians is quite harmonious.

Eunuch Wei, who had just logged in, was very satisfied with Chen Yourong's arrangement. He said that the maritime merchants and the imperial army should have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. The so-called dance dance and horse run, and the past is like what they do.

After learning that Tohara Castle was attacked by the Ming army, Tadaoshi Shimazu, the Satsuma tribe of Tsurumaru Castle, he did not send troops to assist in the war.

This shrewd Shimazu family may have the idea of ​​sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but soon this idea became unrealistic because of Li Dan who fled in a panic.

Li Dan, who lost Tuhara Castle and the fleet, became insignificant. When he came to Tsurumaru Castle, he would definitely come forward to pick him up, but this time he was cold outside the city for a long time and was not released until the evening.

Moreover, Li Dan was treated unfairly. The Samoan family asked his guards to hand over their weapons because they did not know if there were any spies from the Ming Dynasty among these people.

Li Dan, who was humiliated, was very angry, but he had to bow his head under the roof and was forced to accept the arrangements of the Shimazu family.

Three days later, Li Dan never dreamed that Tadaeyoshi Shimazu not only did not ask the shogunate, nor did he send troops to capture Tuhara, but handed him over to the Ming army.

The Shimazu family gave an explanation, and they believed that this was the Chinese's own business, so the Shimazu family should not interfere.

"The Ming army launched an attack on the shogunate ministers on the land of Japan, why is it not Japan's business! Isn't the Shimazu family a vassal of the shogunate?"

On the way to Mingying, Li Dan protested to Shimazu's country, Lao Qingmizu, but the other party regarded him as if he had never seen him.

"Uncle, that angel from the court may not kill you, it will be more useful to leave you!"

Li Si comforted his uncle, saying that the court was an expedition, and it was extremely difficult for both geography, humanities, and logistics supplies, so the court needed someone who knew Japan well, and his uncle was obviously a good partner.

After hearing what my nephew said, Li Dan suddenly realized that he regretted that he should not have refused to win over the imperial envoy.

"If I can really do something for the court, it will be an honor for my Li family."

Li Dan, who adjusted his mentality, was soon sent to the Angel of Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, he and his nephew Li Si and 36 others were ordered to be beheaded by the angel.
