As the so-called house leak was rained overnight, the ship was broken and encountered a head wind. Mao Haifeng led the remnants of the eight-bow battleship to try to flee to Owari Province to Ori Nobumiko, but he broke into the mine array arranged by Xie Sangun first, and all of them were hit on the spot, and the seriously damaged battleships sank quickly, and the less damaged ones were also scrapped, so they could only stop in place and watch the Ming warships approaching.

There was no suspense in the result, almost all the rebels on the ship were captured, after all, it is better to be a prisoner than to be buried in the sea, and it is better to die than to live.

After eliminating all the rebels, the Ming army began to carefully collect unexploded mines in the nearby sea. Pi Eleven opened a wooden box, took out a loose mine from it, and praised it sincerely: "This thing is as good as a sweet potato grenade, Miss Zhi'er is amazing." ”

Xie Sangun frowned and said: "The sweet potato grenade is really good, but the shortcomings of this kind of mine are too obvious, all floating on the water, the enemy can find it at a glance, and if you are fooled once, you will not be fooled again, if the mine can sink under the water and hide it, it will be perfect." ”

Pi Shiyi nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, go back and ask Miss Zhi'er for advice, see if you can improve it, if the mine can sink under the water and hide, tsk, a huge ship that costs tens of thousands of taels can be easily scrapped as long as a mine, and it will also solve a boatload of people, just thinking about it feels terrible." ”

Xie Sangun knew that the mine was actually his brother-in-law's idea, and the original idea was to sink under the water to use it, but because the sealing technology was not good, He Zhi'er, who was responsible for the development, put the mine in the box, which was really a last resort.

So Xie Sangun waved his hand and said, "Besides, now that the order is to collect the troops, it is estimated that there will not be much fighting on the Nagasaki port side." ”

Pi Shiyi hurriedly said: "According to the prisoner's confession, Mao Haifeng seems to have escaped in a small boat, and he shouldn't run fast, so let's really not chase him?" ”

Xie Sangun shrugged his shoulders depressedly, he naturally wanted to chase it, after all, catching Mao Haifeng was a great achievement, but the big handsome didn't let him catch it, it was estimated that he was going to put a long line to catch a big fish...... No, I heard that Ori Shinmiko is a beautiful woman, so I should say that I should put a long line to fish for mermaids.

"Don't chase it, collect the troops!" As soon as Xie Sangun gave the order, the battleship full of prisoners of war turned around and headed for Nagasaki Prefecture.

Due to the headwind, when Xie Sangun and others returned to the sea of Nagasaki County, the Ming army had already captured the port, entered the county seat of Nagasaki, and began to clear the remnants of the rebels in the city.

Although there were 50,000 horses under the command of Wang Zhi's father and son, the real diehards were the team of more than five or six thousand pirates at the beginning, who were almost completely damaged in the two naval battles, and the rest were a rabble, and there was no loyalty at all, and they were defeated with one blow.

Therefore, not long after the Ming army landed, they controlled the entire Nagasaki county, and the rebels surrendered and fled, and it was impossible to become a climate at all.

In the following days, Xu Jin began to gradually take over the entire territory of Kyushu Island, and the local Japanese people hated the Ming Dynasty very much and tried to resist, but in front of the well-equipped Ming army, these local armed forces were a group of local chickens and dogs, which were simply vulnerable.

In just five days, the Ming army regained control of the entire territory of Kyushu Island, and Xu Jin acted resolutely, immediately reappointed the chief of the nine counties, set about restoring local order, and announced a one-year tax reduction. Under a series of measures that paid equal attention to grace and power, the order of Kyushu Island was finally temporarily stabilized, and Xu Jin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

……

In the early summer of April, the weather is getting hotter, and the gorgeous cherry blossoms have long been gone, leaving only the new green of the courtyard.

Kumamoto Prefecture is a port city located in the middle of the island of Kyushu, and today it is the administrative center of the Toyo Prefecture.

At this moment, Xu Jin, the back office of the Yamen of the Oriental Metropolitan Protectorate, is dealing with government affairs in the study, and now the Governor Xu is grasping the military politics and law, and he is busy every day, and there is a group of generals who can only fight and kill under his hands, and no one can share it for him, so he can only carry it himself.

Fortunately, Xu Jin had already informed the Nanjing side before setting out to quell the rebellion, and asked the Nanjing Sixth Department to select a group of capable officials to go to the Oriental Protectorate to temporarily act as government affairs, if nothing else, these officials should be able to arrive in a few days.

Finally finished processing the last pile of official documents, Xu Jin stood up and stretched, and was about to go to the courtyard to take a walk to relieve his muscles, but Sima Yuan, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, walked in and said respectfully: "See Lord Xu!" ”

"Excuse me, what?" Xu Jin asked casually.

Sima Yuan replied cautiously: "Returning to the marshal, after many investigations by the brothers over the past few days, what Wang Zhi said is basically true, and the political envoy Jia He and the criminal envoy Yan Song do have made things difficult and humiliated Wang Zhi's father and son on weekdays. As for the banquet in the yamen of the political envoy that day, there is no way to verify, because there were not many officials who participated in the banquet that day, except for Yan Song who escaped, everyone else was killed by Mao Haifeng to vent his anger. ”

Xu Jin frowned and asked, "What about the widow that Jia He and Mao Haifeng are fighting for?" Where is it now? ”

"Dead too!" Sima Yuan replied.

Xu Jin's sword eyebrows suddenly wrinkled even deeper, Yan Song's goods were lucky, the witnesses who participated in the banquet that day were all dead, even if Wang Zhi and Yan Song confronted him face to face in the future, it would be difficult to get him, after all, Wang Zhi was the party, and his testimony could not be accepted.

Sima Yuan seemed to see Xu Jin's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Although the officials who attended the banquet of the political envoy Jia He that day are all dead, there should still be subordinates serving on the side, and the subordinates will let the brothers search carefully, maybe they can find witnesses." ”

Xu Jin nodded and waved his hand, "Go ahead!" ”

Sima Yuan saluted, turned and retreated.

Xu Jin took a sip of the teacup on the case, and said helplessly: "Sure enough, he is a famous traitor in history, could it be that he has his own aura blessing?" Now, I have to go with the flow. ”

When Yan Song was mentioned, Xu Jin thought of Princess Yongfu, and couldn't help but feel lost. At the beginning, Xu Jin originally wanted to forcibly take Yan Song out to sea, but at the critical moment, Yan Song was appointed by the Queen Mother as the marriage envoy, responsible for choosing the marriage of Princess Yongfu, and it is already the beginning of April.

Xu Jin's mind couldn't help but think of Princess Yongfu's voice and smile, and when he thought that this smart girl like Sister Lin was about to marry a wife, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
