Chapter 268: Surrender

The Shimazu family of the Satsuma domain surrendered? Tao Lei couldn't believe his ears. They made the Shimazu family surrender with only eighty-seven people, is there anything so unexpected in the world?

Just as he hesitated, an old man of his age walked out of the hall. This old man needs help to walk, but his old eyes seem to have the power to see through people's hearts.

The old man walked out of the hall and shook off the warrior who was supporting him, and came to Tao Lei tremblingly. took off the sword from his waist, and respectfully passed by the top of his head with both hands and sent it to Tao Lei.

"Shimazu Yoshihiro of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain surrendered to the Celestial Empire general, and Yoshihiro will immediately order the samurai in the castle to surrender, and ask the general not to kill the Japanese people in the castle again!" Yoshihiro Shimazu bent down deeply, and his tone was pious and not half false.

Tao Lei's heart jumped out of his mouth with excitement, and the Shimazu family surrendered to him. Is this true? What if the Japanese cheat? If you make the Japanese people prepared, everyone can drown themselves and others with a mouthful of spit.

But what if the Japanese really surrendered? That's not ......

Tao Lei didn't reach out to pick up the knife, he forced himself to calm down. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down his trembling voice and said, "Shimazu Yoshihiro! You are not the head of the house, how do you get Shimazu Nakayoko outside the castle to surrender? "He didn't let the victory get carried away and asked the most crucial questions.

The old man in front of him calls himself Shimazu Yoshihiro, so he is not Shimazu Nakayoko. Can he be the master of the Shimazu family? In case Shimazu Nakayoko outside the city does not surrender, he will not be empty and happy!

Listening to Tao Lei's words, Shimazu Yoshihiro didn't get up, and then said: "Although Shimazu Yoshihiro is old, he is still the governor of the Shimazu family. Without Yoshihiro's support, Shimazu Nakayoko would not have been able to become the head of the house! Yoshihiro Shimazu said proudly.

As one of the three heroes of the Shimazu family, Yoshihiro Shimazu was known as Oni Shimazu when he was young, and he always won more with less every time he sent troops.

His life was full of battles, and it can be said that without Shimazu Yoshihiro, there would be no Shimazu family today. When he got older, he stopped fighting for the family and took over as the head of the family and became the spiritual leader of the Shimazu family.

In recent years, he has been concentrating on worshipping the Buddha and not asking about the world, and now the Shimazu family has once again walked to the edge of the cliff, and he can't watch the Shimazu family go into decline and die out in the Japanese country.

He stood up again, as long as the Shimazu family can survive this difficulty, he will not hesitate to endure eternal infamy.

Although Tao Lei didn't know what status the family governor had in the Japanese clan, he knew that he could only trust the old man in front of him now.

He has already set fire to half of Kagoshima Castle, and has achieved the intention of disturbing the hearts of the Ashigaru army outside the castle.

If you want to have a greater gain, you can only trust the old man in front of you, thinking of this, he reached out and took Shimazu Yoshihiro's sword, and said: "Then ask the Shimazu Yoshihiro family governor to let the Shimazu family surrender!" ”

When Tao Lei turned out to be a sword, Shimazu Yoshihiro was also relieved. He turned to the samurai who followed behind him and said, "Tell the city gates to be opened, and the white flag to be raised at the head of the city!" Let the people of this city immediately put out the fire, clean the streets, and welcome the heavenly soldiers of the Celestial Empire into the city! ”

After giving the order, Shimazu Yoshihiro turned around and bowed down and said, "Please also ask General Shangguo to go outside the city with Shimazu Yoshihiro to let Nakayoko surrender!" Please! ”

Listening to Shimazu Yoshihiro's words, Tao Lei was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement. Ma Jingbo, who was behind him, was just about to speak, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.

Of the eighty-seven people who entered the city, less than seventy remain, and nearly twenty died in the fierce battle of one and a half hours.

When they arrived at the city gate, the gate had already been opened, and a white flag had been raised over the city.

The Japanese people who originally held the city gate knelt on both sides of the road to welcome the arrival of Tao Lei and his party.

"Horse boy! You and the rest of your brothers are to guard this place, and you are not allowed to close the gates until the army has entered the city. Anyone who comes close to killing will not be forgiven! Tao Lei told Ma Jingbo.

Ma Jingbo's face was not as scary as the white one just now, he grabbed Tao Lei's hand and said, "Brother Tao! It's very dangerous outside the city, but you can't go! ”

Tao Lei laughed when he heard this: "It's just to accompany Mr. Yihong to the military camp outside the city, what danger can there be." It is a great responsibility for you to make mistakes! After speaking, Tao Lei did not continue to stay, followed behind Shimazu Yoshihiro, and went straight to the camp outside the city.

Shimazu Nakayoko was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Nagako army, and although he suffered heavy casualties, he felt that he would definitely achieve the final victory.

The flames in the city caught him off guard, and before he could react, the Akito's fire shot opened fire again.

The large and small artillery also roared one after another, and the results that had been won with great difficulty just now were beaten back to the original point.

And at this moment, the Ashigaru people are unstable, and they don't have the heart to fight again. Looking at the samurai Ashigaru whose hearts were fluctuating, Shimazu Nakayoko's eyes were confused for the first time.

Could it be that Akito is really so powerful that he is invincible? Is this Shimazu family going to be a runaway Satsuma clan Daiming?

At this moment, a white flag was raised at the head of the city, and the gates of the city were opened. A horse quickly rushed to his side, jumped off his horse in front of Shimazu Nakayoko, knelt down and said a piece of news that made Shimazu Nakayoko unbelievable.

How is it possible that Yoshihiro Shimazu, the governor of the Shimazu family, ordered all the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, Ashigaru, to surrender to the Akito?

Now the defeat is nothing more than the main castle of the Shimazu family, and they have a total of three continents. As long as all the samurai ashigaru from the other two continents are gathered, it may not be that there is no power to fight.

Why did Yoshihiro Shimazu, the god of war of the Shimazu family, surrender as the spiritual leader?

Puzzled, Shimazu Nakayoko did not immediately carry out the order of the governor, and he ordered the whole army to shrink the defense and not give Akito a chance.

At this moment, someone outside came to report that the governor of the family, Yoshihiro Shimazu, and General Akito had arrived outside the battle. Hearing that Shimazu Yoshihiro was coming, Shimazu Chuyoko's eyes lit up.

He had too many questions to ask the family governor who supported his position, and immediately said, "Please Lord the family governor!" Akito let him wait outside! ”

Tao Lei and Shimazu Yoshihiro came to the big formation and were blocked out. Shimazu Yoshihiro bowed down and said, "Please wait a minute, General, Yoshihiro will come when he goes." ”

Watching Shimazu Yoshihiro walk into the big array, Tao Lei's heart also rose. After seeing that there was nothing happening at the city gate, he waited anxiously with peace of mind.

Zhang Dou in the distance also saw the scene here, and when he saw Tao Lei, he couldn't help but be stunned. He still has some impressions of this Changxing army, and the capture of Tabai is completed by this person.

However, he had already seen Tao Lei's name on the list of dead and missing in Minami Satsuma, why did he appear here again?

Just when Tao Lei was waiting anxiously, a gap was revealed in the large array composed of Japanese people. Shimazu Nakayoko and Shimazu Yoshihiro walked out of the formation, and they came to Tao Lei and said: "Please also ask General Shangguo to inform General Shangguo that the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain is willing to surrender to the General of the Celestial Empire!" ”
