Chapter 211: I'll Give You a Chance
Liu Baoguo turned around and said loudly to the dozens of War Department soldiers who got off the jeep: "The rout is coming, everyone immediately set up a machine-gun firing position." β
As soon as the Satsuma Domain's army reached GuΓ², the No. 1 landing ship was near here and sent six jeeps to the coast. Ten people were crammed into each jeep, and more than twenty PK general-purpose machine guns were also carried.
They stopped Shimazu Tadashi's main cavalry and eliminated them, and also captured Shimazu Tadashi, whom these cavalry swore to protect to the death.
Everyone occupied various advantageous positions, and together with the machine guns on the six jeeps, the number of PK machine guns reached more than thirty. As soon as they set up their machine guns, the rout of the Satsuma clan swarmed in.
The defeated soldiers of the Satsuma Domain had been frightened, and their weapons and armor were thrown away, and they fled regardless of their lives. The opponent's firearms are simply a heavenly punishment, this battle can't be fought anymore, run......
As they scrambled to flee here, more than thirty PK machine guns roared almost simultaneously. Countless routers piled up on this road, and were killed and wounded by the sudden dense crossfire on both sides of the road.
The routs behind didn't know what was going on in front of them, they only had one thought, and that was to run as hard as they could, away from those terrible enemies, as far as they could.
They didn't care about what was going on in front of them, they just wanted to rush out, and the people in front of them who wanted to escape back were pushed back alive. But then they were confronted with a dense rain of bullets.
More than 30 PK machine guns were piled up next to bullet casings, and Liu Baoguo and the others turned the barrels of the machine guns red. Many of the routers tried to flee from the fields on both sides of the road, but they were also killed by the riflemen guarding the machine guns with AK automatic rifles.
It has become an insurmountable chasm for the routs. They finally gave up their plans to flee from here and scattered in all directions.
Liu Baoguo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and in this moment, he had already emptied seven bullet boxes, and the long-term shooting shocked him to death.
He shouted at the various machine-gun positions next to him: "Clear the battlefield to prevent the enemy from playing dead." β
Liu Baoguo took the AK-74 and a group of officers and soldiers from the War Department and cautiously came to the front of the blocking position. But they were also dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, there were corpses scattered everywhere, and the layers stretched far away.
They held back their vomiting, carefully patrolled among the corpses, and shot those who were not dead, and hundreds of survivors lying in roadside ditches were also pulled out.
These defeated soldiers of the Satsuma Domain, who escaped the catastrophe, were so frightened that they cried out in fright, knelt in front of Liu Baoguo like crazy, and kowtowed to the ground "bang".
Liu Baoguo found a soldier who could speak a few words of Japanese and asked these Satsuma Domain captives to clean up the battlefield here. Then he went to the radio, picked up the microphone and said, "Report to the commander, the mouth is blocked......"
At this time, the battle on the frontal battlefield was also nearing the end, the shelling had stopped, and thousands of soldiers and more than 200 Japanese daredevils had already killed the red eye, and it was not until Gao Jianguo ordered the knife to be sealed that they began to collect the prisoners.
The entire wilderness was littered with the corpses of the samurai warriors of the Satsuma Domain, and the entire Ibusuki coast was filled with sky-high blood, and even the sky seemed to be covered with a faint reddish.
Liu Baoguo drove a jeep to the camp, took Shimazu Tadashi out of the car, and escorted him to see Gao Jianguo. They had already identified the captives, and this man was Shimazu Tadashi, the lord of the Satsuma domain.
Gao Jianguo looked at the little old man standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is the Shimazu Tadahiro who impressed both the Ming and North Korea.
"I am Gao Jianguo, the managing director of the Far East Company, and I now make solemn representations to you on behalf of the Far East Company, unconditionally return the five Amami islands in northern Ryukyu, and promise that you will never set foot in the waters of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the future. If the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain still insists on going its own way, then our Far East Company will officially enter a state of war with the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain. We will go deep into the interior of the Satsuma Domain and occupy Kagoshima Castle, the main city of the Shimazu family. β
The Japanese translator next to him, Yan SΓΉ, translated it in Japanese for Gao Jianguo. Gao Jianguo quietly looked at Shimazu Tadashi, waiting for the reply of the lord of the Satsuma domain.
When Shimazu Tadashi heard the other party's words, he felt like his heart was dead. He already vaguely knew who these people were, and although the Tokugawa shogunate strictly sealed the news of the sneak attack on Sakai Port last year, it was not a secret at all to them, the daimyo lords.
It took only more than 1,000 people to easily occupy Sakai Port, sack it in a few days, and also defeated tens of thousands of shogunate elites, using repeating fire guns and huge iron ships without sails, which were comparable to Sakai Port in every point.
Shimazu Tadashi secretly scolded himself, it was not good to offend anyone, but to offend them. The shogunate was beaten like a bear, and now he doesn't even dare to let out a fart, as if nothing happened.
But as a feudal lord, he has calmed down now. Most of the current Satsuma Domain's forces have been defeated, and the navy has been wiped out. The coast has been burned and looted by these gangs, and the economy has been completely destroyed, and even merchants may not dare to come in the short term. Not to mention getting loans from those merchants.
After this time, it is uncertain whether the Satsuma clan will be able to survive zΓ i. The shogunate has always been obsessed with the Satsuma Domain, and knowing the current tragic situation of the Satsuma Domain, it will inevitably be the first to pounce. And the Satsuma clan doesn't have to fight now, and the economy will collapse in a few days.
Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Far East is from the Ming Dynasty?" β
Gao Jianguo waited for a long time, but he didn't expect to wait for such a sentence. But he still shook his head and said: "We have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, we are from overseas and belong to the descendants of Yashan in the Song Dynasty." β
Shimazu Tadashi listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and he had already made a decision in his heart, and now I am afraid that only by doing this can he keep the Satsuma Domain.
Thinking of this, Shimazu Tadashi bowed to Gao Jianguo, and then said respectfully: "The Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain admits defeat, and is willing to unconditionally send Amami Goto to the Far East, and vows never to touch the Ryukyus." In addition, if the general has any other requirements, he can also put them forward now. β
Gao Jianguo was angry when he heard it, he was paralyzed, you can do favors, those five islands were originally ours. But he didn't dwell on this, but cared about Shimazu Tadashi's last sentence. You said it yourself, so don't blame me for having a black hand.
"Regarding the ownership of the five islands of Amami, the island documents, and other matters, the Satsuma Domain and the Ryukyu Kingdom can negotiate. The Satsuma clan invaded the Ryukyus and caused great harm to the people of the Ryukyus. The Satsuma Domain's wanton sabotage of regional peace was a source of indignation at our Far East Company, which sent troops to Satsuma to safeguard the rights and interests of the Ryukyu people and regional peace.
Since the Satsuma clan is also sincerely repentant, our Far East Company no longer cares, but we have spent a lot of money on various expenses when we send troops this time. However, considering that the Satsuma Domain is not wealthy, in order to reduce the burden on the Satsuma people, this time we will not want the Satsuma Domain to compensate the silver taels, and appropriately provide some of the grain and grass consumed by our Far East Company during this time, which will be counted as 100,000 koku. β
As soon as Gao Jianguo's words fell, the people in the room almost laughed, and the commander was now more and more able to talk nonsense. Also regional peace, haha...... It's like the five hooligans of the United Nations. The most ruthless thing is the 100,000 stone grain, the Satsuma clan is as poor as anything, this is really a lion's mouth.
When Shimazu Tadashi heard this, his eyes were also dark, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Nima, how many of you are there? It also consumes 100,000 stone of grain and grass. But he still said quietly: "The general's request is reasonable, and we have agreed to this article." β
As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone looked at each other, this Shimazu Tadashi is sick, just in the poor place of the Satsuma Domain, there is not much grain in a year, how can they get 100,000 stone of grain.
Gao Jianguo was also stunned, he also deliberately said higher, negotiate and negotiate, can you continue to talk. He actually thought it would be nice to be able to make a few thousand stones. But he didn't expect Shimazu Tadashi to agree.
Shimazu Tadatsune continued: "But I'm afraid that our Satsuma clan will not be able to fulfill the general's request this year. The shogun also knew that our Satsuma was located in a remote area, and the food produced every year may not be enough to eat even in the domain. It may take years or more to fulfill the general's request.
It's just that after this war, Satsuma has been exhausted, and it is estimated that in a few months, Satsuma may not exist zΓ i. Satsuma may never be able to fulfill the general's request. Of course, the general can also go to our Satsuma to collect it by himself, but even so, the general may not be able to collect much in half a year. β
When the people in the house heard Shimazu Tadashi's words, they were all angry. This is a hob meat, co-authored for a long time, you still don't want to give it. Isn't this teasing you, this little devil is so hateful.
Liu Baoguo pulled out his gun violently and said angrily: "Dare to play me, Lao Tzu will collapse your ......"
"Baoguo, you take the gun back."
After Gao Jianguo finished speaking, he stood up with a gloomy face, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped at this time, giving people an eerie feeling. Gao Jianguo walked in front of Shimazu Tadashi and looked at Shimazu Tadashi condescendingly.
"I'll give you a chance to say what you want to say, and don't talk this nonsense to me."
Shimazu Tadashi was also so frightened by Gao Jianguo's might that he trembled, and his back was soaked. But he knew that only by doing this could he let the Satsuma clan survive.
He bowed deeply to Gao Jianguo, and then said excitedly: "After this battle, we Satsuma Fei have reached the situation of life and death. The shogunate has always been wary of the Shimazu family, and once our economy collapses, it will definitely take action to rectify our Satsuma, and then our Satsuma will definitely become the puppet of the shogunate, and the Shimazu family will also become a nominal daimyo and will surely decline, and it will never recover. β
He stopped when he said this, Gao Jianguo and everyone in the room knew that he had something to do, and they all wanted to know what he wanted to say next. R1152
