Chapter 1211 He is such a decisive person

When Li Rusong led troops to ravage Danbo, Chai Guozhu's army was also ravaging Feiqian.

Hizen Kingdom used to be the base camp where Toyotomi Hideyoshi commanded soldiers and horses to invade North Korea. There are a large number of military facilities, many of which are stationed by troops. is destroyed.

On April [-]th, Chai Guozhu's troops were divided into two groups, all the way took Nagoya Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's command center and Tokugawa Ieyasu's ruling center, he burned them to ruins, and then continued March.

He was very upset because he did not find Tokugawa Ieyasu's family members. According to the spy's report, Tokugawa Ieyasu's family members secretly sailed eastward by boat before the army landed.

Chai Guozhu was very annoyed that the family and important leaders of Tokugawa Ieyasu were not captured, and it didn't make much sense to always win the entire Kyushu.

So he ordered the whole army to attack fiercely, leaving no one behind, and killing anyone who dared to resist, regardless of gender, age or age.

Although no leader was caught, the command center was indeed taken away.

Without a unified command and order, the Japanese pirate army could not gather together to fight against the enemy. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu left some troops in Kyushu to try to resist, the destruction of Nagoya made them lose their will to continue fighting and began to fight against the enemy. Honshu fled.

The remaining soldiers and horses marched towards Satsuma under the leadership of Chai Guozhu's deputy, Ma Hu.

Satsuma is the beginning of Japan's modernization, and this period is also the place with the strongest Western atmosphere. Portuguese missionaries first came to Satsuma to preach and spread "Lan Xue" during the Jiajing period. This is also the reason for Japan's iron cannons. start using.

After Xiao Ruxun flattened the power of the Spaniards and abolished all the factories of the Portuguese in Macau, he concentrated the remaining power of the Portuguese and the Spaniards in Burma to serve him, brought Nanyang and the entire Southeast Asian region under his rule, and ruled out all European power.

And the remaining Europeans who were not controlled by Xiao Ruxun all gathered in Satsuma.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is very effective in controlling Satsuma. He uses Satsuma as his iron cannon production base and artillery production base, invests a lot of money in casting iron cannons and artillery, and tries to make his army stronger, but after all, time is still short , not a climate.

This time the Qin army succeeded in raiding, and the Tokugawa army of the Hizen Kingdom was defeated, and another army landed from Satsuma under the leadership of Ma Hu.

Although the leader of the Satsuma army, Shimadzu Tadashi, was ordered by Tokugawa Ieyasu to strengthen the coastal defense, and was also protected by more than a thousand troops from Tokugawa Ieyasu, Satsuma's resistance was still relatively difficult.

The overwhelming artillery fire of the Qin army's warships quickly destroyed the insignificant shore fire artillery force of the Satsuma army, defeated the Satsuma coastal defense force, and landed, prepared, and then marched smoothly.

Shimadzu Tadashi led the army to resist, and Mahu encountered arguably the most tenacious resistance since the Qin army landed along the way.

Satsuma's folk customs are tough, and the common people practice martial arts and are good at using firearms. They are not afraid of the Qin army's massive advance, but resist bravely, using iron cannons and artillery to fight the Qin army.

However, the Qin army was numerous, well-trained and well-equipped with firearms. The Satsuma army had no organization and could not organize strong firepower to block the Qin army. The main force collapsed.

Although the main force of the Satsuma army collapsed, the resistance did not end. Shimadzu Tadahiro returned to the main city and took out all his family resources to recruit troops, took out all the stored firearms and armed troops, and fought a decisive battle with the invading mahu.

On the morning of April [-]th, Mahu led the main force to attack the main city of Satsuma, and Shimadzu Tadani led the army to defend to the death. Although they fought fiercely, they still lost to the overwhelming artillery shells of the Qin army and the salvo of the super powerful Hongyi cannons.

After the city was destroyed, the Qin army entered the city wantonly. Shimadzu Tadahiro did not admit defeat, and continued street fighting with a few remnants of the defeated generals. In the end, the Qin army shot them to death with bird guns, and the entire Satsuma army was wiped out.

Mahu was very annoyed because of the many casualties and the residents in the city continued to attack the Qin army, so he ordered the massacre of the city.

During the massacre, a group of red-haired and golden-haired Europeans were found hiding in the factory. The red-eyed soldiers killed three or five of them, and then they were stopped by the spotted tigers.

Mahu thought over and over again, thinking of the red-haired barbarians Xiao Ruxun left in the Burmese firearms factory, knowing that they could cast cannons, and feeling that they might be useful, he ordered them all to be arrested, sent back to China by boat, and handed over to Xiao Ruxun for disposal .

After the main city of Satsuma was destroyed, most of the people were killed, and the rest were scattered all over the place, unable to become a threat, so Mahu continued to attack with troops, completely captured the Satsuma country, and turned to attack the rest of the area.

The defense of the Tokugawa Army on Kyushu Island officially failed.

Not only that, but also suffered heavy losses. Because of the fierce resistance in many areas, the Qin army retaliated against the city. The foundation of the Tokugawa clan was uprooted and ceased to exist. The Kyushu area became a mess, and there was no unified command.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was running for his life at this time, didn't know about it. Even if he knew, he wouldn't send troops to rescue him, and his heart wouldn't fluctuate, because there was nothing more important than letting him run for his life.

After being attacked at night, Tokugawa Ieyasu greeted the cavalry of the red reserve team gathered around him, and immediately fled for his life. The direction was to the east, and the target was Ezo Island.

Now that the Qin army has come, he will not do what he thinks, and just follow the worst plan and flee to Ezo. As for the direction of escape is the same as that of the Toyotomi army, that is certain and necessary, but the Toyotomi army Little did they know that he was fleeing for his life to Ezo Island.

He is such a decisive person.

More than 600 original red-backed teams and more than 400 people added later became a weakened red-backed team of more than [-] people. They are also his close bodyguards. They will never leave him no matter what, so they are also effective when escaping. guard.

In the process of escaping, there were also remnants of defeated soldiers who rode horses to catch up and escape together, while those without horses were doomed to fail to catch up. They could only watch desperately as the men on horses kept running away, and then they were chased by Qin Jun. on, kill.

Tokugawa Ieyasu even felt that he was too decisive, he didn't want the army, he didn't want anything, he fled for his life with only some money and the cavalry of the Red Army, he didn't want anything, he didn't even resist, he didn't want to be him think.

Maybe he is really like what he said, as long as he can survive, everything else can be thrown aside, and he can talk about it after ensuring safety. Life is gone, everything is gone, and the one who survives to the end is the winner.

In contrast, Toyotomi's leaders were much stupider. Not only did they not escape in time, but they were organized by Ukita Hideji's family to fight the Qin army, which created an opportunity for Toyotomi Hideji to escape.

As for their fate, Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know, and didn't care. He didn't even care whether Ii Naomasa, who he sent as an envoy, was still alive. He just wanted to escape. In his opinion, this war has ended Failed.

The Toyotomi clan refused to unite, and they had tried their best. If they were really defeated, it would not be a crime of war, but a crime of the Toyotomi clan being too old-fashioned and ignorant of flexibility.

Whether Japan can continue to exist, whether it can continue to exist, he doesn't know, and he doesn't care. Up to now, he only cares about whether he can survive.

So he ran desperately, bursting out with a strong will to survive.
