Chapter 130 Miyamoto Musashi
It is very troublesome for Guanning Army to land. After all, there are no excellent port facilities here. Only a few dilapidated plank roads can be directly docked by sailboats. Most of the people are transported ashore by boats.
Moreover, the main ones who came here this time were soldiers. Those delicate war horses would not be sent from North Korea until the simple dock and hoisting equipment were built.
Although it was just infantry, the Guanning Army's tens of thousands of people climbed Shanghai in a sturdy manner, which brought indescribable shock to the locals.
The locals dare to say that they were fighting together. At this time, they saw at least tens of thousands of soldiers rushing over like a tide of frightening, and they were all frightened to escape into the mountains and forests.
These Guanning Army ignored the fleeing locals and headed straight for Kumamoto Castle.
"The Guanning Army is no longer an army." Yan Fei, on the ocean-going fishing boat, lay on the railing and looked at the sea of fire in the distance. Kumamoto Castle Castle, who was faintly crying and wailing, sighed. The Guanning Army has now completely transformed into a group of bandits that do all kinds of evil.
When Wu Sangui's Guanning Army arrived in Kumamoto Castle, he first mocked such a small and broken place to be called a city. Then he rushed into the city with a wide area and a large population to loot.
These Guanning Army had already done these things very skillfully when they were in North Korea. Now, after entering the city, they would kill men when they saw them, snatch beautiful women when they saw them, ignite fire when they met the house, and seize them when they saw valuable things. It was like a swarm of locusts flying over the wheat fields, leaving only the mess on the ground.
"Go and tell Wu Sangui." Yan Fei, who was compassionate, asked the orderly soldiers around him to "let him send all the stolen gold to me. If you dare to hide one or two, I will hit him!"
If there is a Creation God in the world, then this Creation God must be very willful.
The earth has extremely rich resources, but these support is not evenly distributed. Instead, it is randomly clicked east and pressed west and formed some wealth given by heaven in different places, such as oil from the Middle East, gold from South Africa, etc.
Japan in the 17th century was such a place where wealth was given to the God of Creation. Since 1562, Japan's Shijian Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in the world, and one-third of the world's silver is produced in the Japanese Islands.
This island country also produces a large amount of gold. It is speculated that the total gold production in Japan from BC to the 17th century was about 400 tons.
You should know that before the start of the American gold rush, the world's gold production was only more than 5,000 tons. Japan's gold production was nearly one-tenth of that in the world.
Even though a lot of gold has been taken away due to foreign trade over the years, Yan Fei estimated that the country still has at least more than 300 tons of gold.
The price of gold in the modern world exceeds more than 300 million soft-girl coins per ton. If so much gold is brought into the modern world, it will definitely be a huge wealth of more than 100 billion yuan.
Because silver cannot be sold in the modern world, Yan Fei has always used silver as wealth consumption in this era.
Now, the Guanning Army temporarily holds the silver they stolen is just to calm their emotions. After all, even if they hold the silver, they have no place to spend it. In the end, these things will still fall back to Yan Fei's hands.
In addition to precious metals, Japan also has a large amount of wood resources. Various tree resources in the mountains and forests are simply endless. What Yan Fei has to do is send people into the mountains to cut down trees and pull them out.
As a raw material supplier, Yan Fei obtained these resources through plundering methods almost cost-free. Just pull them back to the modern world and sell them to China at a low price.
When the Guanning army robbed the city of Shimachi, the defenders in Kumamoto Castle also sent people to resist.
However, although the Hosokawa family's army was very brave in combat, it was too small in number. They were all shorts when facing the tall Guanning army from the northerners, which were not rivals at all.
Moreover, the Guanning Army was basically equipped with iron armor and leather armor. Only samurai-level soldiers could wear leather armor. Ordinary soldiers at most brought hats and robbed bamboo. The huge gap in equipment allowed the Hosokawa family soldiers to attack to be quickly submerged in the almost endless wave of Guanning Army.
Yan Fei was not in a hurry to attack the city. At night, he returned to the cabin to sleep under the flames in the city. He handed over the entire night to the Guanning Army, who suffered from the suffering of sailing and traveling, to regain his energy.
When the sky was bright, Yan Fei, holding a toothbrush in one hand, and the water cup in the other hand, walked to the side of the boat and sang loudly. White foam fell into Luochuan, which seemed to have changed a little overnight.
The once prosperous Kumamoto Castle Town, which was completely experiencing the fire in the distance. Even after a whole night, many of these buildings made of wood and bamboo were still emitting fire and black smoke. The air seemed to be filled with pungent fireworks.
After Yan Fei brushed his teeth and washed his face, he washed his face and washed his face, the orderly soldiers on the boat had already prepared breakfast for Yan Fei to deliver it.
On the front deck, there were folding tables and chairs, porridge steamed buns and a plate of Wujiang pickled vegetables, Yan Fei's breakfast. He was not very particular about food, drink, clothing and use, and he didn't have the luxury of having dozens of dishes every time he wanted.
"What's going on over there?" Yan Fei, who was biting the white-floured steamed bun, stretched out his chopsticks and pointed to the dozens of unlucky guys hanging on wooden poles in the distance. It should be Guan Ning Jun's clothing.
"General Wu had a report before, saying that these people did not obey orders and attacked Kumamoto Castle without authorization, so they were enforced for military discipline." The orderly replies made Yan Fei nod slightly and no longer pay attention.
Last night, some people from the Guanning Army who were addicted to robbery and ignored Yan Fei's order to ban attack Kumamoto Castle and forced to attack the main city. However, the lack of siege equipment was particularly heavy in the intensive shooting of a large number of melee guns and bows. Some of the people who fled back were directly hung with wooden poles by Wu Sangui.
At this time, Wu Sangui knew very clearly that he must not violate Yan Fei's orders.
Yan Fei did not allow the Guanning Army to attack Kumamoto Castle, of course, it was not that he wanted to let those people in the city go, but because he knew very well that the wealth in these areas was concentrated in the city. He did not want the Guanning Army to hack his money.
After breakfast, Yan Fei boarded the land under the escort of many musketeers and walked all the way outside Kumamoto Castle.
Looking at the Tianshou Pavilion with great Japanese characteristics in the distance, Yan Fei nodded slightly and ordered the cannons on the ocean-going fishing boat to open fire through radio.
This Kumamoto Castle was built well in terms of defense. The foundation was a huge stone, the city wall was strong and tall, with complete defense facilities and even several old artillery were installed. If there was no heavy firepower to break the wall, if you wanted to capture this sturdy city, you could only fill it with your life.
However, these defense structures with bricks and stones as the main body will not have much use in front of the 88 gun.
Although the gunners have poor skills, this place is a fixed large target after all. The ocean-going fishing boats have good stability after being anchored, and under the continuous shelling, high-explosive bombs hit the city one after another.
As long as those tall city walls are hit by one shot, they will be filled with bricks and stones, breaking through the huge gap. There is no need to aim directly at the city gate, as is the same as blowing up the city wall.
Sixteen 88 guns were shot for nearly an hour and fired more than a thousand shells. Although most of the shells were powerful, they still relied on powerful modern firepower to blow up the city's defense system.
After the shelling stopped, Yan Fei nodded slightly to Wu Sangui on the side. Then a large number of Guanning troops rushed up and rushed towards Kumamoto Castle.
In addition to the peasant soldiers who were recruited in Kumamoto Castle, the main force was the Hosokawa family's samurai. When a large number of Guanning troops rushed into the city through gaps everywhere, all of these people bravely rushed out from various hidden places to resist.
Close-up fight is tragic. The crazy fight between swords and swords represents that a large number of lives disappearing in blood at every moment.
The samurai of the Hosokawa family resisted firmly, but unfortunately they were in absolute weakness in all aspects, especially in terms of quantity. A large number of Guanning troops swept through the entire Kumamoto Castle from bottom to top like a tide. All that was left was corpses everywhere.
The city is in the shape of a pyramid, from bottom to top, the top is the Tianshou Pavilion where the head of the Hosokawa family lives. When a large group of Guanning soldiers roared and rushed to the Tianshou Pavilion, a thin old man blocked the narrow door and chopped the Guanning soldiers who rushed into it one by one to the ground.
Yan Fei walked step by step through the blood-stained steps and into the already dilapidated city. Everyone saw corpses and blood everywhere, and the air was filled with pungent smell of blood. This was definitely an extremely tragic battle.
When passing by a wooden paper-paste room, Yan Fei glanced at several Guan Ningjuns inside, laughing and tearing a young maid's kimono, frowned slightly, and then walked over.
Passing by another room, I saw several Guan Ningjuns pulling out some Jin Xiaoshou from the cabinet and stuffing them into his arms. I immediately raised the Bereta pistol in my hand and shot them all down one by one. Then I ordered the people around me to "check them one by one, and everyone who dares to take my gold will be shot."
When Yan Fei pushed away the crowded Guanning Army and came to the top Tianshou Pavilion, he saw an old man covered in blood standing at the entrance holding a Japanese knife in his hands, gasping for breath.
There were several sharp Japanese knives inserted into the tatami next to the old man, and at least dozens of Guanning Army soldiers had fallen in front of him.
"I am the sword saint Miyamoto Musashi!" The old man's eyes lit up after seeing Yan Fei, and he raised the Japanese sword in his hand and pointed it at Yan Fei. "Can General Ming dare to fight with me to the death!"
Miyamoto Musashi killed Sasaki Kojiro in the decisive battle of Yanruo Island and became the most powerful swordsman in Japan today. He is respected as the world's number one swordsman.
Miyamoto Musashi, who was over 60 years old, was in seclusion on Iwatoyama outside Kumamoto Castle and was writing a five-wheeled book, preparing to leave a book for himself that could be famous for his future generations. However, with Yan Fei's arrival, he accepted the orders of his lord Hosokawa family to enter Kumamoto Castle to guard Hosokawa Mitsunaga. At this time, the room behind him was Hosokawa Mitsunaga's family.
