Chapter 1333 Battle of Shikoku Island
Shigemasa Itakura knew Shigemao Shirata sober than Tadashi Aoyama, so he did not attempt to lure Amakusa Shiro out of the city, nor did he intend to trap him to death, nor did he want to fight to the death.
Most of these Christians are peasants. As long as they rush into the city, they will have the confidence to completely strangle these rioters!
Therefore, on the surface, 20,000 people were sieging the city vigorously, but what he hoped for was two secret passages in his heart.
As for the Satsuma tribe in Kagoshima, it has never been considered by Hiromasa Itakura.
Amakusa Shiro stood at the top of the city. Even though he had the help of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, the 20,000 people attacked the city at all costs, which still put a lot of pressure on him. There was already a stalemate on the top of the city.
Heisharo stood beside Shiro Amakusa, and said in confusion: "Bissar, why do I feel something is wrong?"
Amana Shiro had already discovered it and said, "In theory, Shigemasa Itanakura should have besieged the city and then attacked hard, but he did not. Moreover, these 20,000 people seemed to have a fierce attack, but they always felt weak and seemed to have left some strength."
Heisharo thought for a while and said, "Is this a test?"
Amakura Shiro shook his head and said, "Itakura Shigemasa is not a fool. He must be protecting his real purpose. Let the four doors observe carefully and report to me for any clues."
Heizaburo nodded immediately and said, "Yes."
Shigemasa Itakura naturally hides his strength. He stood on a high slope, looking at the top of Shimahara Castle, controlling the rhythm.
Amakusa Shiro did not use his power, and the "stalemate" at Shimahara Castle was more like a test of each other. The shogunate army did not go further, and Amakusa Shiro did not force them to push them all down.
This battle seemed quite strange.
At the same time, Kagoshima soon received the news that Zuo Liangyu, Kaorama and others were discussing.
Kasuyashi's Chinese is now in a true Chinese style, saying, "Sir Zuo, Shigemasa Tochishi, 50,000 troops from Hiroshimahara, should we support it?"
Zuo Liangyu has gradually calmed down over the years, and is not as panicked as if he was exiled at the beginning. Looking at the map, he said, "Aoyama Tadashi's millions of troops are placed at the doorstep of his home. If you want to support him, you have to deal with them first."
Kaora Kaora stopped talking at once. They only had 10,000 people. How could they deal with the 70,000 troops of the shogunate?
Zuo Liangyu continued to look at the map and said, "According to Governor Yang's plan, the navy will soon enter the strait between Shikoku Island and its own island, and then Dorgon's 50,000 troops will land. What we have to do is to defend Kagoshima, wait for the army to conquer Shikoku Island, and counterattack Jiuguo Island!"
Zuo Liangyu could understand Yang Sichang's purpose and how many purposes were to take down Shikoku Island. First, it would shock the shogunate and attack their will to resist. Second, it would consume the sharpness of the shogunate army on the Kyukuni Island. Third, it would also want to test and see the real strength of the shogunate army.
Kasuya Yama said, "Then, we can't sit there either. Should we make some noise and attract Tadashi Aoyama's gaze, so as not to divide his troops to support Hiromasa Itakura?"
Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while and said, "Retract all our troops and the personnel on the periphery to Kagoshima, and strengthen the wall and clear the fields!"
The Satsuma Phantava is a large peninsula, and the core Kagoshima is the Peninsula at the lake, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Huashan was stunned and said, "Sir, what does this mean?"
Zuo Liangyu stood up and smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just putting some pressure on Aoyama Tadatsutsu."
Kagoshima has 10,000 Japanese minions, 10,000 Koreans, Ryukyu coalition forces, and scattered samurai in the Satsuma clan, which may have more than 30,000 people.
Although Kagoshima has been preparing for many years, money and food have always been a problem, let alone guarding a city.
Huashan hesitated for a while, without objection, and said, "Yes."
For the Tokugawa shogunate, Shimahara Castle was considered a civil strife, and it was easy to solve it with some effort. The real trouble was the Satsuma tribe of Kagoshima, a place that was conquered by the Ming Dynasty and they had not yet made any free space to clean up.
This is the place where the Ming Dynasty has been operating for many years and is the foundation of the country, and it is the root of the disaster that threatens the survival of Japan!
Tadashi Aoyama's eyes only occasionally glanced over Shimahara, and the one who was always staring at the Satsuma clan.
The Satsuma family contracted sharply and strengthened the walls and cleared the world, which made Tadatsushi Aoyama very alert.
Jia Laoshan County He Yi knelt down beside him and said, "Dian, the Ming people are afraid that they will support Shimahara."
Tadon Aoyama's expression was as iron as iron, his face was deserted, and he said, "The question is, what should the Ming people do? Tsuma Island and Heiyi Island have a total of 150,000 Ming troops. They were silent for a month. What exactly did they want to do?"
According to their speculation, there were only three places where the Ming people landed. The first was from Tsushima Island to land on Himematsu, the second was from Kagoshima, from south to north. The third was from Hokkishima Island, from land on the Luosuma, from north to south.
With such a clear strategy, why did the Ming Dynasty remain unmoved for a long time? The Ming people waited for three years, and Japan also waited for three years. At this moment, how could the other party still be so patient?
Or, the Ming Dynasty was planning more plans...what was there any conspiracy?
Shanxian Heyi pondered and said, "Dian, I think we should take the initiative. If we are restrained everywhere, it will be difficult to win."
Tadatsutsu Aoyama said, "Well, I have discussed with the inner government that I will control the soldiers in Kagoshima, but I must produce Shimahara's heresy first."
Shimahara Peninsula is almost on the waist of Kyukuni Island, and can also land from the sea. If it is not eradicated, Tadatsushi Aoyama will not be able to go south with all his might.
Yama County He looked cold and said, "Dian, the city walls of Shimahara City are now tall and equipped with Ming Dynasty firearms. If you want to attack them forcibly, you may suffer a lot of losses. I am also worried that the Onakura Temple will repeat the same mistake and cannot capture Shimahara."
Tadao Toshi Aoyama glanced at him, a hint of coldness appeared on his cold face, and said, "He will definitely attack!"
Yama Prefecture nodded slightly and said for a while: "Then, how should Kagoshima deal with it?"
Tadatsushi Aoyama said, "I ordered Kato to lead 20,000 people, and slowly push forward, and first test the purpose of the wise man."
"Yes." Shanxian and Yidao.
Yama Prefecture and Yichi-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-Ji-
Both sides are as cautious and controllable as they are, without any radicalism or misunderstandings.
Muraofan and Matsuhira Nobuzu were silent as if they had not arrived. Only some famous names in the outside world were known to Masatori.
On the other side of his shore, Heiyi Island, it was as quiet as there were no official ships or merchant ships, and it was as quiet as a deep pool.
Edo was also very quiet. The whole country of Japan, except for collecting summer grain and mobilizing more samurai, seemed to have not felt that a war of destruction had begun as usual.
The Hongwu is passing through the strait between Kagoshima and Osumi and heading towards Shikoku Island.
Behind them, in addition to one hundred warships, there were two or three hundred large ships, standing or sitting on them, all of which were heads - Jiannu Cavalry!
In addition to Dorgon, there were also some miscellaneous soldiers from Annan, totaling 50,000, who were looking up at Siguo Island.
At this stall, Tokugawa Akihide, Sakai Tadaokaku and others finally resisted the capital and started to contact the Foreign Affairs Bureau first.
Xue Zhengqing, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, is currently in charge of affairs in the capital. Listening to the peace talks brought by Tokugawa Akihide, it can be described as stunned.
It is unprecedented that Japan actually wants to use their female emperor to marry!
Xue Zhengqing did not dare to be good at it and hurriedly entered the Ganqing Palace.
Zhu Xu was accompanying several children to class. Listening to Xue Zhengqing's return, he walked out of the classroom, stood under the eaves, touched his chin, and laughed ridiculously.
When Xue Zhengqing saw Zhu Xu's expression, he said deeply in hatred: "Emperor, Japan does not understand education and does not understand ethics. I believe that the conquest is the morning to save the people of Japan from water and fire."
Zhu Xu was very satisfied with Xue Zhengqing's attitude and said, "Well, you go and lie down in the cabinet and chat with Master Sun. The negotiations are dragging on. I want to see how much chips Tokugawa Ie-gum has to pay to delay time."
Xue Zhengqing raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."
Xue Zhengqing turned to the cabinet, but Sun Chuanting's attitude was the same as Zhu Xu, just ignored it and dragged it casually.
After Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu learned the news, they immediately sent a message to Yang Sichang, ordering him to step up the war and no longer give time to Tokugawa shogunate.
Yang Sichang was ordered and a series of secret messages were sent, and he quickly moved around Japan.
