Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 601

On the opposite side, a hundred cannons were fired, and there were only two cannons in red on Heiqi's side.

In terms of firearms, the changes and many variants made by Wa to adapt to its own local wars are still reasonable. Heavy heavy artillery such as red cannons are not suitable for pulling around in this place.

But the deadlift can also pull.

So with some small-caliber cannons, the two red-clothed cannons fired again, and the Kyushu Island Allied Forces who bombed this place from a long distance cried for their fathers and mothers.

As we approached, there were also Feilei cannons to greet us.

It's just that the artillery fire rang out from time to time, and the Kyushu Army couldn't move an inch in the mountainous area in the northern part of Maehara. The assembled tens of thousands of troops were useless at all.

The mighty [-] Iron Artillery Brigade gathered together wanted to thwart the charge of the black flag warriors on the frontal battlefield, but it turned out to be useless at all.

The most important thing is that the Kyushu Army desperately rushed up a hill where the red cannon was placed at the cost of more than a thousand casualties. Zhu Tianxing was blown up by the cannon as soon as he raised his hand.

This thing is worthless in Black Flag.

Iron mold cast iron cannon, the quality is a little poor but cheap, and it is made quickly.

This method did not improve the status of the red cannon, but made a series of small-caliber cannons extremely popular. The three-pound cannon was light, easy to use and cheap, and it was not enough to attack a fortified city.

That is to say, considering that some of the famous castles in the Wa Kingdom traveled more, they brought a lot of red cannons, and even blew up one here, and the black flag could build one in Hirado.

The shipwrights of the Black Flag Navy can do a lot of things.

It's just that it touches a lot, and these shipwrights must live and die with the ship in case of trouble.

After blowing up this cannon, the coalition forces on Kyushu Island ceased.

Abandon the march and turn to blockade.

As long as the army of the shogunate comes from Honshu Island, the situation of the war will definitely get better. After all, we have a large number of people, so we still need to fight locally, right?
So the next day, after landing in Maehara and resting for a day, the soldiers of the Black Banner Warriors began to take the initiative to attack.

On this day, the Kyushu Island coalition forces retreated.

The [-] iron artillery team encountered a formation of artillery vehicles in the mountains, and they pushed forward together. The large iron cannons crackled for a while, and then the three-pound artillery pierced through the formation.

The Black Banner Army rarely launched a charge in the first half of the day, and only relied on nearly [-] small cannons to blast through the blockade of the Kyushu Island Allied Forces.

In the second half of the day, they broke into the depths of the defense line, divided their troops and fought against the enemies from all directions in the mountains, and they all won. They beheaded more than [-] people in one day.

Because they fell behind and desperately wanted to gain military exploits, this group of Black Banner warriors who arrived later were particularly serious about killing prisoners and killing good people in the mountains.

Several small villages and two small towns in the Jingyuan mountainous area in the southern part of Qianyuan were attacked during the battle between the Black Banner Army and the Kyushu Allied Forces, and the villages and cities were all killed and looted.

That is to say, the rogues from Kyushu were the main force going to the black flag, and there were more locals, otherwise they would have massacred the city.

On the third day, the Black Banner Army directly attacked Saga City.

After leaving the mountainous area, they started to fight. There were dozens of small battles. By this time, the Kyushu Island Allied Forces had no courage to fight the Black Banner Army head-on. They could only retreat and harass. The Black Banner Army pursued a little faster. Kyushu Island The coalition forces immediately began to flee.

At this time, Nabeshima thought it was necessary to negotiate.

It is fine to cede land for compensation or quietly ask Black Flag to fight in another direction, but Saga Castle must not be lost.

It's a pity that the red cannon directly blasted the city wall of Saga Castle. Nabeshima felt that he could not rely on the castle to defend it, and fled in a hurry.

When Black Flag entered the city, he also wanted to kill and loot, but Zhu Tianxing stopped him.

In the past, he only listened to the good news from his brothers, but now he personally led the army to take down the first big city, so he had to take care of it.

So the Black Flag warriors killed thousands of civilians, burned a street, followed by extortion, rape and robbery at night, and then stopped.

Black Flag also stopped the fire-like attack after taking Saga Castle.

The messenger proudly conveyed the grace of the Black Flag King to the great names of Kyushu Island.

The Black Banner King was finally willing to have a dialogue with them about this war.

"If Kyushu surrenders, it will be a black flag eagle dog."

With the fall of Saga Castle, Nabeshima's power in Kyushu Island is not enough to rule the roost. Hizen Domain cannot carry the banner, so the relatively low-key Higo Kumamoto Domain can only resist.

Hosokawa took over Kumamoto Castle from Kato Kiyomasa about 40 years ago.

Hosokawa Tsunatoshi was a little apprehensive about carrying this flag.

The news brought back by the envoys who went to receive the will of the Black Banner Qing Regent is also very simple.

The King of the Black Flag demanded the submission of all feudal vassals in Kyushu, and later enjoyed the honor of conquering Japan's Honshu Island with the Black Flag.

For this reason, the shogunate was furious at the elders who had been staying on Kyushu Island after the black ship incident in Nagasaki Port.

His anger returns to anger.

But not a native of Kyushu.

All the big names who are locals have to think about this matter.

After waiting, two days passed.

As the vanguard of the Black Banner Warrior Corps, all members of the Black Banner Warrior Corps landed on the mainland of Japan, and the Black Banner Navy began to divide into fleets, and it was necessary to go to Liaodong without interruption to transport the follow-up mobilized troops.

These days, the Japanese navy has repeatedly harassed the black flag navy, and they sank more than a dozen ships without touching the black flag ships.

At the time of the internal turmoil in Kyushu Island, the reinforcements from Shikoku Island finally arrived, which made the coalition forces have some fighting power again, which can be regarded as the surrender faction in Kyushu Island had to calm down.

But at this time, bad news came from Honshu Island.

Sanada Xingchang led two thousand troops in Shimonoseki to defeat the [-] forwards of the shogunate army.

The army assembled from Honshu Island under the order of the shogunate may not come for a while.

The situation of the war seems to be falling all the way without stopping.

"Xuan Xian."

"Hi! Father!"

After hearing the news, Hosokawa Tsunatoshi, who was carrying the banner of Kyushu Island on the front line, returned to Kumamoto Castle overnight and called his two sons.

The Hosokawa family is a famous family that has been passed down from the Kamakura shogunate period to the present for almost 500 years. It has experienced ups and downs in three generations of troubled times, but it has always been a famous family.

Zooming in, it is a thousand-year-old family with hereditary fiefdoms, private armies, sitting on the Diaoyutai safely, fighting in troubled times, warlords can still do it.

So what is the key to becoming a daimyo after three generations of troubled times?

Stand in line.

Abandoned the Ashikaga Muromachi shogunate and went to Nobunaga.

When Mitsuhide Akechi married his daughter to the Hosokawa family and the two families got married, they chose Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and even instigated Mitsuhide Akechi's daughter to change her surname to Hosokawa to attack Mitsuhide Akechi.

It is just a normal operation to vote Tokugawa Ieyasu later.

It highlights a sense of time.

It is also because of this that the Hosokawa Clan flourished for more than [-] years.

So at this time, Hosokawa Tsunato called his son and asked one of them to disguise himself and quietly send a message to Heiqi.

During this turmoil in Kyushu, the Hosokawa family will throw the black flag as the "coach" of the Kyushu Island Allied Forces against the banner.

"The King of the Black Flag said that the Hirado clan was the head of Kyushu after the war, but it's okay for me to be fat and Kumamoto clan, and why should I, the Hosokawa family, care about Kyushu."

　It is too time-consuming to check the information. The divisions of Japan are as difficult as the Mongolian divisions. For the remaining few days of this month, I must choose one day to change the word. Sorry, sorry
