Zhao Guoliang was worried after sending the first batch of robbed property back to Nanjing. Now that the matter of logging in should spread, what should we do next? Waiting for the orders in China is unrealistic. Nagasaki is more than a thousand miles away from Nanjing, and it takes half a month to pass messages. It is hard to wait for time.

As a accompanying civil servant Yang Shilong saw the admiral frowning and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong?" Yang Shilong is not a scholar. He was originally just doing business in Songjiang Prefecture. In the later generations, he was a re-export trader, but in fact he was a second-department dealer. He ran the Nagasaki line all year round and was very familiar with the situation on Kyushu Island.

"Sir Yang, you are very familiar with Japan. Where do you think we will go next?"

"Sir, there are three national-level daimyos on Kyushu Island. Nagasaki is just a port managed by the Hoshima Fan Guoshi family. This is not the base camp of the Guoshima family at all!"

Zhao Guoliang didn't expect that Nagasaki was rich enough, but he didn't expect that it was not his place.

"Oh? Then where are the Guodao family you mentioned?"

"Sir, Nagasaki is actually not the territory of the Himemae family, but the territory of the shogun in Edo. However, it is handed over to the Hokkimae family in the Himemae family. The base camp of the Hokkimae family is Saga, more than 100 miles away from Nagasaki."

"Is the Guodao family very rich?"

"Of course, the Kumashima family is one of the three kings on this Kyushu Island. The others are the Kato family of Kumamoto family and the Shimazu family of Satsuma family. The others are the small lords of the seventeen or eighteen city lords."

Zhao Guoliang was happy to hear Yang Shilong say this. The emperor's military order to him had to make some food in addition to robbing money. The white rice in Nanjing had increased to two silver dollars per stone, which was really unreasonable. However, the 10th Division's killers set fire to the city in order to rob some silver. These were all but silver.

"Okay! Come on! Send orders, have dinner in the morning, and set off in the afternoon! The army marchs along the coastline, and warships protect the army's flanks. Let's go to the Himemae family in Saga first, and then to the Kumamoto family to have a great robbery around the island!"

The order was passed down and the army began to set off. Zhao Guoliang's order to rob the island around the island would cause the king of Daming on Kyushu Island to be in trouble. The first one to be robbed was the Faemae-fai, one of the powerful vassals in the southwest.

The lord of the Hibirashima family was Katsushima Katsushima, a slave of the three surnames. The power of the Koshima family was not that big at that time, but was just a retainer of the Ryuzoji family. However, Katsushima Katsushima was very good at that time and was adopted by Ryuzoji Temple. Later, when Tokugawa Ieyasu attacked Toyotomi Hideyoshi's old subordinates, Katsushima Katsushima sat on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side.

However, Katsushima Katsushima was more careful. Who knew that the one would win in the end, so he led his own troops and did not join the battle, but watched the fun on the side. Seeing that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power failed in the battle of Sekihara, he immediately surrendered to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that this guy was a capricious villain, but he did not kill him, but instead appointed him as an exotic daimyo and allowed him to inherit the Himemae-family family of the Ryuzaoji family.

Although Kyushu is a place with barren land and has no specialties, it is very close to mainland China. In addition, the geographical environment of the Homaki Vajra is good, and it quickly became more developed until the end of the Shogunate period that it became one of the four anti-South Vajra.

However, in this time and space, the fat father's wife had no chance to fall, because Zhu Hongsan came out of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to transfer his domestic conflicts, he extended his evil hands to the peaceful Kyushu Island.

Katsushima, Katsushima of the Hibirama family, had received a report two days ago that Nagasaki was burned by a group of troops who claimed to be the Ming army. Katsushima knew that the Ming Dynasty was still in civil strife and could not send troops to Nagasaki to make trouble. The information said that they were wearing colorful military uniforms, which were very similar to those red-haired Chinese. Katsushima believed that this group of people should be avenging Christians of Amakusa. After all, during the Shimahara Rebellion, Katsushima was one of the main forces in suppressing Christians.

However, Katsushima Katsushima did not take those strange troops to heart. There were only more than 10,000 people in total. What's the use? Didn't the Mongols' 200,000 troops be used as fish food at the bottom of the sea?

So the surrounding vassal lords of Katsushima, Kashima, Kazu, and Kurume, all of them all set out different armies to prepare to fight the Ming army outside Saga Castle. Among these armies, the most elite one was the two thousand iron artillery team of the Himemae lord!

The Japanese iron cannon was a medley gun. It was introduced by the Portuguese back then and shone brightly in the battle between North Korea and the Ming army. To be fair, the Japanese iron cannon is not bad at all than the Ming Dynasty's medley gun, and it is even better in terms of accuracy. However, it is hard to say that it is against Zhu Hongsan's flintlock gun, after all, it is two generations away.

The iron artillery team of Feiqian's vassal surprised Zhao Guoliang. He didn't expect that such a poor Japanese country would have muskets. However, the iron artillery team surprised Zhao Guoliang and did not affect the combat progress. The Ming army's flintlock rifle was far better than the iron artillery of Japan in terms of range, accuracy and speed, and even the number was not comparable. The Ming army was a full firearm unit, while the iron artillery team had only two thousand people, which was really not an opponent, let alone the army had artillery support!

The battle ended with a great victory in the Ming army. The 20,000 army organized by Katsushima Katsushima was defeated. Katsushima Katsushima himself died under the guns of the Ming army. In this way, Saga Castle fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Although Saga Castle is the main city of the Himemae family, it is not as rich as Nagasaki. Zhao Guoliang only got one million taels of silver in Saga, but the food was enough, with a lot of rice of 500,000 stones. Just like in Nagasaki, these spoils were packed on board and shipped to Nanjing.

As the lord of the country, the Feiqian vassal was defeated in one battle. The remaining few small vassals all surrendered and sent silver and food to express their surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

If a literati was replaced by a leader, he would probably have to talk about some bad rules to win people with virtue, but now the leader is Zhao Guoliang.

Zhao Guoliang was originally a bandit from Huguang. Under Zhu Hongsan's education, he developed the bad habit of turning over the table after dinner. After getting allegiance to several surrounding vassal states, he quietly led his men to destroy several small vassal states. Of course, the Ming army was not trying to occupy this place. What's the use of your loyalty? It would be better to kill a chicken to get eggs.

In the remaining month, Zhao Guoliang and his men began an armed parade around the island. The Ming army followed the Kyushu coastline and robbed the towns when they encountered them, and set fire after they robbed them. Now the Japanese people were in trouble. However, they were not without resistance. After receiving the news, two other powerful vassals, Kumamoto and Satsuma, organized a joint army of 50,000 people, and more than 100 fleets, including twenty Anzai ships, were preparing to have a life-and-death battle between the Komakawa and the Ming army in Kumamoto territory.

When Zhao Guoliang received the war letter from the coalition forces, he sneered and said to Li Tinglong: "Did these Japanese people get crazy? What era is it that they still play war letters?"

"Sir, the Japanese are all samurai. What is the focus of vain honor? What should we do? Should we defeat them before they are ready?"

Zhao Guoliang shook his head and said, "No! This time, I am not going to play some conspiracies, but to defeat these little guys in a dignified manner and let them see the strength of my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Guoliang turned to the Japanese messenger and said, "Okay! I promised you that you will fight you to the death in five days at what you mentioned in Komakawa!"

Komakawa is a sea plain fifty miles away from Kumamoto Castle, about ten square kilometers, facing Amakura Island in Kyushu.

Zhao Guoliang led the team to this place and frowned. The plain is easy to say, but the main reason is that the bay is too narrow.

Zhao Guoliang sneered: "The Japanese people chose a good place. Their navy can exert their maximum combat power in such a shallow bay. Li Tinglong, are you sure to win?"

Li Tinglong looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Sir, it's not possible in this bay. There are reefs everywhere here. Our big ship has a deep draft and will be stranded if you are not careful!"

"What's the best way for you?"

"Sir, why not when the war begins, I lead the navy to lure the enemy navy out of this bay. As long as I reach the ocean, I can take advantage of our ship's speed and let them sink! But I will face 50,000 enemies alone!"

"Don't worry, Ma Kun can win against 10,000 musketeers in Nanchang against 30,000 Qing cavalry. Can't I win against 50,000 infantry?"

Just as the two were talking, the opposite Japanese coalition had entered the battlefield. Li Tinglong saw that the Japanese navy had appeared on the horizon. After saying goodbye, he led the eleven warships of the navy to meet them.

In the telescope, Zhao Guoliang saw that these Japanese people were wearing more colorful clothes than their own army, such as red, green, and blue, which were really colorful. Especially the dozen generals in the center of the enemy, each wearing evil ghost masks and holding a flower paper fan in their hands.

When Zhao Guoliang saw this, he cursed in his heart: "Is this the fuck here to fight or perform?"

The battle started with the navy on the water. Li Tinglong relied on his warship's long range and sank two ships from five hundred meters away, and then led his fleet to slowly withdraw from the battlefield and headed towards the sea outside Amacao.

When the Japanese naval generals were sunk two ships as soon as the war began, they were also angry and led the fleet to leave.

Seeing the beginning of the navy, Zhao Guoliang ordered his army to form the formation of the most skilled horizontal squad, muskets and swords and shields in the back. The last one was the artillery position.

The Japanese army had few cavalry, and there was no cavalry team of hundreds of thousands like the northern ethnic groups on the mainland. This time, only one thousand cavalrymen were placed on the flank of the military formation for preparation for assault. The ranks in front of the Ming army were 20,000, which is the lowest cannon fodder.

The slight task of these gangs is to use their bodies to resist the Ming army's guns and bullets, and let the five thousand warriors behind rush forward to fight for hand-to-hand combat. The five thousand iron artillery team behind is the backbone, and they are responsible for the sword and shield soldiers wearing heavy armor on the opposite Ming army.
