Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 597
But more, panic.

The black flag only conducts foreign trade in special ports, and the Bohai Sea is not big. Even if the main force of the black flag navy is outside, the partial fleet in the inner sea can strictly control piracy such as smuggling and trade.

Most of the Japanese ships traded in Jiulian City, but few went to Gaizhou Port.

The Hirado clan has basically become a black flag.

After Matsuura Shigenobu slipped and knelt, the Hirado Domain became a port specially opened for black flags according to the treaty.

And he, the famous feudal lord, was going to be severely punished. According to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the whole family may not survive a few.

But the Black Flag Navy is stationed on Tsushima Island.

If Waguo really wants to attack, Matsuura Shigenobu will be able to let the black flag navy directly stationed in Hirado, and the scene will be even uglier.

Even after the black flag navy left Tsushima Island and went south, Wa still didn't make any big moves because the chain of interests was formed.

Many big names in Kyushu Island have tasted the sweetness of the population trade with the black flag, and the shogunate has also got involved in the trade with Liaodong.

But the shogunate did not expect the black flag to come back.

As early as before, the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the Portuguese had taught the Japanese navy a lesson at sea, which made the Portuguese arrogant in Hirado for a while.

It is impossible for the Edo shogunate not to know how powerful these barbarian ships and cannons are.

But no matter what Xiyi savages are doing fiercely at sea, this land is after all the world of the shogunate, isn't it?

Just very confident.

Even the savages dare not come!

Here it comes.

The famous names in Kyushu Island panicked.

On the one hand, I heard that the black flag is powerful, and on the other hand, I was not prepared enough.

A thousand vanguard troops from the Black Banner Navy landed and stationed in Maehara on the west side of the Hirado Clan, and built a large-scale construction project, recruiting local peasants as laborers to log and build camps. The encircled camp was quite huge, and it was not at all what 1000 people needed to occupy. territory.

At that time, the feudal vassals of Kyushu, which had been expected for a long time, were gathering troops in a hurry.

When the army is almost assembled, it is the observation stage.

Watching the striker of the Black Flag Warriors wandering around Maehara, he quickly recruited servants among the local peasants, and by the way, the local residents took them out to find a relative.

As a result, spies from the great names of the Kyushu vassals and several prominent families wantonly inquired about the situation in the forward camp of the samurai regiment.

Gained a lot.

For example, most of the enemy troops are Japanese, and there are many people from Kyushu.

"And the military rations that the warriors and adults eat are all high-quality white rice! Even the laborers eat white rice balls marinated in vinegar once a day! The adults eat white rice with boiled wild vegetables, yams, tofu, and fish. ! Also, there is also roasted bird with rabbit meat, which is extremely rich! The villain is fortunate to have eaten the leftovers of those warriors."

"To shut up!"

Stationed in the camp of the Kyushu vassal army in Saga, the ninja who came back as a spy was about to explain in detail what good food he had eaten, when the samurai beside him suddenly became furious: "You bastard! You just like eating those wild people who have defected to you!" A traitor's thing!"

When the ninja heard the words, he immediately pleaded guilty again and again.

"The abundance of food, gold and silver in the enemy army can be called extravagant. This is also very important information. Let's go down."

But an old, skinny daimyo who wore an armor and looked rather ugly waved his hand to let the samurai sit down and let the ninja go down.

Nabeshima Katsushige, the head of the Hizen country Nabeshima family.

Sitting behind him are his three sons, namely Xiaocheng Fan, Kashima Fan, and Lianchi Fan, who are known as the Nabeshima Imperial Family of the Hizen Country, and of course, Nabe who previously commanded the Kyushu Navy and the Black Banner Navy. Island Guangmao.

The black flag came ashore, and as the overlord of Kyushu Island, the Nabeshima family had to go all out.

More importantly, it was the camping point after the black flag landed, only about seventy miles away from Saga Castle, the main city of the Hizen Kingdom.

"There are still two days before the next landing of the enemy army. At that time, there will be a full three thousand armored warriors landing in Maehara. The Hirado domain is close at hand. It is not difficult to wipe out the thousand enemy troops on the shore. The difficult thing is how to deal with the savage attack down the offense.

If the first battle is lost, the Savages will naturally give the Matsuura family more benefits. If the Matsuura family completely rebels from Japan, then the Savages can land in Hirado, and there will be a city to defend at that time."

"Kill Matsuura Shigenobu immediately!"

Nabeshima Mitsushige had a hideous face.

The fall of Nagasaki Port forced the shogunate to sign an unequal treaty with Black Flag, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the crime afterwards.

In addition to official fines and silver, he was even deprived of the right to inherit the Saga Domain and hold the power of Hizen Kingdom!

It's not easy to share the blame for defeat on the water, but the Matsuura family is the fastest kneeling on the shore, and now they have to get rid of this old blame.

Nabeshima Katsushige shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and tried to get up, but was held down by the clothes he hadn't worn for a long time, and he barely stood up with the support of the two sons behind him.

"Destroy the vanguard of the enemy army first. I heard that the vanguard general of the enemy called himself Sanada Yukimasa, but pretended to be the son of the 'first soldier' ​​who had died long ago. It is really shameless."

The feudal clans of Kyushu gathered [-] troops in a short period of time this time, and after that, the feudal clans were able to send nearly [-] troops in total for this battle.

Sanada Xingchang has only one thousand black flag warriors, and more than 100 spear-wielding ashigaru recruited locally in the Hirado domain, less than 20 arched ashigaru, and [-] musketeer ashigaru.

"Conscript all the soldiers and civilians from Shima Town and Yito Town."

Knowing that the Kyushu army was coming, Sanada Xingchang sat cross-legged in the forward camp, holding a cup of tea and said indifferently, calmly, but there was a joy in his heart that the rare horns would be reborn, and the sharp claws would finally stand out.

Going to Black Flag is just for a change of life.

I have been a monk for decades, and I have been a ronin for several years. I just wanted to die decently before going to the black flag. I never thought that this day would come.

The old things have long been forgotten, and I thought that instigating war on this land would not touch the past.

But in the end it is inevitable to throb.

With one word, the black flag striker also showed his fangs!
The Hirado clan cooperated well, so the black flag striker would not engage in any killings and looting. During the period of stationing, he got along well with the locals. He searched for relatives, traded with local villages and towns, and paid for workers. .
Nazhimo and Maehara did not dare to have any opinions on the occasional private plunder.

The samurai master is pretty good.

They didn't rob much, and they lost two coins if they raped them, so they didn't kill many people.

But now it is different.

Sanada Xingchang gave an order, and the black flag samurai ordered the newly recruited servant army to forcibly recruit strong men in the surrounding area. Both men and women were doomed, and the young and old were expelled from the castle town to seek refuge outside the city.

The servant army didn't show any sympathy for the people in their hometown, their families were somewhat privileged.

You can move to the back of the battlefield to avoid it first.

After the strong labor forces in the two castle towns were brought under control, [-]% of the Black Banner warriors were stationed and began to deploy defenses on the outskirts of the city. These two places were to be used as the main battlefield to deal with the attack of the Kyushu army.

When the war was about to break out, Zhu Youjian had already set foot on the land of the Hirado Domain.

Hirado domain lord Matsuura Shigenobu led a group of core members of the Matsuura family, and respectfully bowed down to greet them in the crowd of Hong Kong people, gentry and samurai.
