vs 357 I will take you to death
The Japanese were barren and lacked supplies (they even had to import deerskins for armor from the southeastern province), and it was difficult for the shogunate army to understand the largesse of the southeastern army, but they also knew that it was indeed a big problem to put such an opponent on the table.
Only self-YY: The opponent's fighting courage must not be enough for us to be tenacious by virtue of the advantage of weapons, and if their firearms fail, we will definitely be able to defeat them.
Seeing Yan Changwu's guns, Tokugawa Iemitsu was very envious and wanted to buy from Yan Changwu, money was not a problem.
"Since it is the eldest brother who speaks, how dare the younger brother disobey!" Yan Changwu promised to provide Tokugawa Iemitsu with 36 field artillery pieces and 3,000 flintlock muskets at a favorable price.
He returned satisfied, and after he left, Gan Hui, deputy chief of staff of the Southeast Army, asked: "Didn't you say that you won't sell muskets to the Japanese, what?" ”
"You're saying I'm going back on my word and getting fat?" Yan Changwu sighed with a sigh of kung fu tea, and said to Gan Hui: "The relationship was not so close before, since we have formed an alliance with the Japanese Invaders, of course we have to have the appearance of allies (otherwise what will people do if they form an alliance with you), I have thought it through now, as long as the Japanese do not engage in battleships, we can all sit back and relax!" ”
"That's it!" Gan Hui nodded in agreement.
The Southeast Province and the Shogunate each have their own set of guard standards, and similarly, as long as the Southeast Province is still playing Hongmaofan, the Shogunate is also sleeping and stable.
"Tell the little ones to work hard, don't be stingy with ammunition!" Yan Changwu commanded.
"Okay, it's not like telling them to come forward and fight bayonets." Gan Hui said.
The southeast army has made the people in the city suffer enough, and they don't know when a strange disaster will befall from the sky!
The shotgun fell, the bomb was thrown, and it was not killed, and it was uncomfortable to live!
The rusty projectiles and lead cores that hit people cause people to have fevers, and in the Wa country, there are "traditional Chinese medicine" methods, and the feverish Wa people drink potions, and the two sides are tugging, and the people are confused!
After three days of bombing, the shogunate army easily landed on the section of the city wall that had been destroyed by the southeastern army, opened the city gate, and the southeastern army drove into the city first and occupied the city!
Kill!
All the Japanese who dared to resist were shot to death!
Loot!
Snatch the valuable things in this city, but not as ugly as before----- kitchen knives are still left to them.
Grab people!
Note that there are two categories of people who are snatched, one is the upper class, that is, the guys with white skin and calluses on their hands, take them away and prepare to take them back to the Southeast Mansion!
It was a pact with the shogunate to exile those people in the name of rebellion, and the shogunate only demanded that they never return to their homeland.
The shogunate hated the leaders of these rebels and their families so much that they even sent people to the Southeastern Army to identify those people for them!
There are many benefits to taking them away, so that the shogunate does not have blood on their hands, and the southeastern army has slaves, so there are many restrictions.
In addition, there were a large number of young men and beautiful widows in the city, and they were snatched away and brought back to the southeastern province as well, which was the shogunate's reward for the southeastern army, but only in the rebellious cities.
Originally, these men and women were "high-quality assets", but Tokugawa Iemitsu made up his mind to destroy the upper echelons of these places and destroy the future of these places!
He didn't give any more warnings to those places, and even warned his ministers not to be soft!
"This is a golden opportunity, they rebelled against me, I have repeatedly tolerated them, I hope everyone can get by, but they don't appreciate it, I don't have to be polite! The great leader of the Southeast Province is my brother and resolutely supports me, and this general will take advantage of this opportunity to lay a good foundation for our children and grandchildren! "The Tokugawa family is full of spirit.
The retainers looked at him with a smile, and those who knew foreign dialect thought of the following sentence: "You are your father's son!" (Tiger father has no dog son)
He, after all, is the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the three heroes of the Warring States!
……
The flesh and blood were separated, the crying in the city shook the sky, and the passing shogunate shook their heads and left: "I knew today, why bother in the first place!" ”
After all, some vassal ministers took advantage of their connections to write letters to the wealthy clans of the Choshu Domain to persuade them to surrender, pointing out:
1. The sovereign (Comrade Jiamitsu) has a resolute attitude and is determined to resolve the rebellion, and those who resist will be severely punished, and those who surrender will be punished lightly.
Second, with the participation of the Southeast Army, their firearms were sharp, and it was difficult to resist, and the city could not be saved.
3. Once the city is broken, the jade will be taken away, and the upper class and good people will be far away from their home and country, and they will never be able to return to China!
……
Not to mention that there are many traitors in Chinese history, in fact, there are more traitors in the Japanese country, you don't see it, the Mi Emperor garrisons the Japanese country, and the entire Japanese country is full of traitors! At this time, the cities of the Choshu Domain competed to surrender, and in a short period of time, eight or nine out of ten of the cities of the Choshu Domain surrendered!
Can't fight!
There was no food, no reinforcements, and no hope of victory.
This makes Tokugawa Iemitsu very contradictory, and Yan Changwu secretly sighs a pity!
The feudal lord Mori Hidemoto sat in the city of sorrow and mourned!
Back in the day, the feudal lord Mori Moto, based on Yoshida Castle in Aki-gun, possessed 1.2 million koku of 1,200,000 koku in the Ten Kingdoms of Chugoku (Wakoku Land Domain, located in the western part of Honshu Island). His grandson, Mori Terumoto, and dared to confront a generation of Tianjiao Oda Nobunaga, and later became the five elders of Toyotomi, and was the general of the Western Army in the Sekiai joint battle against Tokugawa Ieyasu (was established), and the ancestors were so heroic and defeated without regrets!
Today, it is impossible for him to even gather men to fight against the incoming shogunate army and the southeastern army, and only 800 heroes can be summoned from the entire city.
The rest of the people, running and scattering, in the blink of an eye, the Maori family disappeared.
What to do?
Surrender? No, no, no! Others can surrender, he can't surrender anymore, surrender, it's also a death!
The shogunate was open to those who surrendered, but it was absolutely severe for the four feudal lords.
Escape? An acquaintance of a Dutch captain is willing to take them away and flee overseas. (Mori Hidemoto invited the Dutch captain to take his children and grandchildren with a heavy reward and went into exile)
Still is...... Mori Hidemoto chanted the famous sentence from the other side of the sea: "Life should be a masterpiece, and death should be a ghost!" ”
He jumped up on the tatami mat and called his own soldiers to give orders to prepare for battle, while he wore armor and equipped his weapons.
In a small town on the outskirts of Hagi Castle, Mori Hidemoto gathered 800 of his family's 800 strong men, mounted on horseback, and watched his most loyal men, the last of them, and addressed them.
"Today, I'm going to take you to death!"
"The army of the shameless and fearless Tokugawa Iemitsu is coming, and there are many of them, and we will definitely be defeated, but we are glorious!
We resist the invaders, and we live up to the glory of our ancestors! ……”
The Japanese warriors with white scarves on their heads looked at him intently, the lord of the domain was so noble, and with his guidance, everyone would not be lonely on the road.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Maori Xiuyuan rode his horse and took the lead, and the troops behind followed closely, a tragedy!
……
When Yan Changwu heard the news of the dispatch of the Changzhou Domain, he asked, "They are less than a thousand?" ”
"Yes!" The scout replied in the affirmative.
"Our people, don't participate in this battle, give those Japanese people the treatment of warriors, let them die honorably!" Yan Changwu ordered.
If the southeast army participates in the war, maybe the Japanese army will be killed by guns and artillery before they reach them, this is not necessary, let the Japanese fight the Japanese people, and kill more Japanese people, wouldn't it be beautiful.
"Look, how smart I am!" Yan Dashao said complacently.
Tokugawa Iemitsu also understood the significance of this battle, and he did not ask for help from the Southeast Army, but only sent his own troops to fight the Choshu Army.
"Kill!"
Mori Hidemoto led 800 warriors to launch a moth-to-fire attack on the huge shogunate army until the last man fell!
