Chapter 1364 Clear battle situation
Hirado Castle.
Tadatsuto Aoyama stood on a large stone, looking into the direction of Tsuma Island from afar.
The slightly salty sea breeze passed by, blowing up Qingshan Tadaosuke's tight hair tied, covering his lush and cold face.
Behind him was a group of daimyos, looking at Tsushima at the same moment, with different expressions.
Not far behind Tadatsushi Aoyama, there were many people with different dresses kneeling, some farmers, some craftsmen, some samurai, and some Ming Dynasty costumes, all of which were all in one go.
One of them said: "The hall was originally a fisherman of Tsubasa. The Ming people pretended to be magnanimous and did not do anything to us. After several years of observation by the little people, especially in the past few months, the Ming army stationed on Tsubasada Island and other than the navy, there were only 5,000 people. Many of them were craftsmen and their families were accompanied by the army. There were not many real soldiers..."
The second said: "The hall is a farmer who has been farming on horseback. The Ming people not only did not make things difficult for us, but also collected very little rent from us. The villain of their granary has been there. The Black Stone Palace said that it will be at most 100,000 troops for three months. Now, it is less than a month..."
The Black Stone Palace immediately came out and explained: "Izumo, I have carefully checked it, it is true."
After he finished speaking, he waited for a moment for the third time and said, "The villain is a craftsman. The Ming people are telling us that we will build city walls and fortifications for them. The entire Tsushima Island villain has passed by. The Ming people's work together is in the villain's mind and has been drawn..."
The fourth said, "The villain is a ship repairer. The ships of Ming people are many times. They enter and exit regularly, and have regular repairs to replenish fresh water and food. After three days, they will all enter the port and undergo a centralized warranty..."
The fifth one stood up and said, "Little Man, Otoshi Samurai, the Ming people are very interested in our samurai and recruited some training. The little people have seen their recruitment envoy, right in the city of Tsushima Island, with dozens of guards following him in and out..."
Next is the sixth and the seventh.
Daming around him was very excited by these words, because Tadatsushi Aoyama had told them that the shogunate had formulated a plan to defeat the Ming Dynasty two years ago.
Although this plan had many twists and turns under the attack of the Ming Dynasty, the twists and turns were still at this time!
Tadashi Aoyama had known the story of these people's careful writings, and this story was for these daimyos to listen to.
He turned around, his face slightly diminished, his eyes still cold, and he said, "You all heard it, what do you think?"
The Ryuzao family governor said: "Izu guards, the foundation of the Ming army is Tsubasa Island. As long as we recover Tsubasa Island, it is equivalent to cutting off the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty on Kyuko Island, and we can destroy them with the backhand!"
"It's not that. If we recover Tsushima Island, we can still look at North Korea. In terms of military tactics, it is to 'surround Wei and save Zhao', which may completely relieve our predicament!" Shao Er's family supervisor said.
"If we can get the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, the offensive and defense will change immediately. If the disaster in the Ming Dynasty is in flames, it is impossible to fight for a long time. Perhaps, we can still use this battle to occupy North Korea!" The Matsuura family's supervisor said.
"Matsuhira Temple has led our shogunate navy to sea, and it is hiding out at night. It will not take long to arrive at Hirado Castle! When Tsushima is destroyed, Izu guards return to Kyukuni Island, and easily destroy all the Ming Dynasty's troops on Kyukuni Island. Then, whether they defend themselves or go south, they can vigorously restrain the Ming Dynasty, and the situation is about to reverse..."
In their opinion, Tsushima Island was the most important transit and command place for the Ming Dynasty. If it was lost here, it means that the Ming Dynasty's army on Jiuguo Island would lose its command and support, like a kite with a broken line, and the only result was its destruction!
At the same time, there is another accompanying purpose of destroying Tsuma Island, which is to annihilate the Ming Dynasty's navy. Once the Ming Dynasty has no navy, it will be a toothless tiger to Japan. It seems ferocious, but in fact there is no threat!
Tadatsutsu Aoyama listened to them, without interrupting them, and for a while, he said, "Now, do you have any questions?"
Before, Tadashi Aoyama was like an old turtle, and he could not hide, which slowly caused countless dissatisfaction.
The Otomo family's retainer immediately stepped forward and said, "Public court, Izu's plan is far-sighted, and in order to defeat the enemy with one move, villains and others admire it!"
Others followed one after another, and at this time, who would still care about the past?
Tadao Toshi Aoyama said with no expression, "The following plan is to divide a group of people to the Guanmen Strait to cover our real actions."
What Aoyama Tadatsushi had to do was to pretend to join forces with Hiromasato Ichikura, destroy Li Dingguo, and blur the Ming Dynasty's vision.
"Yes!" The group of people responded with enthusiasm.
Now is the critical moment to eliminate the Ming Dynasty, and making achievements is right in front of you!
When Tadatsuto Aoyama was making its next plan, the Japanese Navy led by Nobunaga Matsuhira, 30 ships of all sizes and 4,000 people had quietly left the Guanmen Strait and sailed quietly along the coastline of the Nishikaido toward the Chimaebashi, preparing to meet with Tadatsuto Aoyama.
These ships could not see traces of Japan and the Ming Dynasty, but were more like the armed forces of the Franchise. They were divided into two layers, with twenty-four cannons on one ship, all of which were from European cannons, and there were vaguely many tall Western barbarians on it.
The Matsubishi Xinzang follows the coastline, hiding out at night, and constantly advancing westward.
That night, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the stars in the northern sky, with a calm expression, but his eyes in the darkness flashed with sadness.
A series of wars in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have taken the lead, but they always felt that they had not yet accumulated strength. The army of 200,000 to 80,000 has been used so far, and the remaining more than 100,000 remained motionless.
‘What exactly do the Mingren do?’
Matsuhira Nobutsu kept asking this in his heart. The Ming Dynasty had the ability to directly attack its own island. Its own island was the foundation of Japan. Once its own island was attacked, the attack on Japan and the shogunate would be of great significance.
However, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have been deliberately avoiding its own island. Why is this?
Nobutsu Matsuhira could not figure it out and no longer thought about it. The war had already developed to this point, so he could not think too much, so he could only burn his boats and go all the way to the dark!
Within one day, Li Dingguo, who was outside the Guanmen Strait Fortress, finally received the news.
"Sir, Aoyama Tadatsu's 50,000 troops have come from the Chimaebashi. The army of Hiromaki Itakura Shigemaki may come out at any time. We only have 20,000 people, and they are all old, weak and disabled soldiers. What should I do?" Li Dingguo's deputy general said uneasy.
Not to mention Tadashi Aoyama and Shigemasato Ichikura are enough to destroy them. At this time, they no longer had the courage to fight against the enemy.
Li Dingguo felt more and more that something was wrong. The behaviors of Tadatsuke Aoyama and Shigemasaki Itura seemed natural, but they did not conform to the art of war, nor to the overall strategic situation. They seemed too deliberate.
‘What the hell are they going to do?’
Li Dingguo thought about it, his expression remained unchanged, and said, "I want to write a letter to the Grand Commander... The entire army retreated twenty miles south, and I will arrange the ambush in person!"
