The samurai's voice fell, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Miyake Shigetoshi in the room were silent for a while.
After a moment, Miyake Shigetsu said: "Palace, it's obvious that the Ming people just want to invade the Chikugo Domain, so that we can't care about each other, and we want the fisherman to profit!"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna lowered his head, silently picked up the teacup, and did not speak.
Although he knew the whereabouts of Akito, the purpose was still unclear.
If it's the Chikugo Domain, it's better to unite with Amakusa Shiro in Shimahara and defeat him thoroughly, why do you want to go far?
Go to Chikugo Domain, which was the first feudal domain in Kyukoku Island, why is that?
Matsudaira Nobutsuna sipped his teacup, his eyes flickering, thinking about Akito's purpose.
For a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he suddenly looked up and asked the samurai, "How many people are there in Mingren this time?"
” The samurai recalled, "It is said that there are about 5,000 people. ” Matsudaira Nobutsuna frowned, what can five thousand people do?
This time, Miyake was also rewarded, 5,000 people, it is estimated that they will not be able to go far when they go ashore, what is the purpose of the Ming people?
Matsudaira Nobutsuna was silent for a while, then turned to Miyake Shigetoshi and said, "Itakura Shigemasa's plan is available, but it's not enough, if I solicit it again, how many more people can there be?"
” Miyake Shigeri knew that the collection that Matsudaira Nobutsuna said was not all the Wa countries, but the scope of Kukoku Island, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "It is estimated that there are not many, the Chongchang Hall has been collected many times before, if it is collected again, I am afraid that the major names, the head of the family will be dissatisfied, and it will be difficult for the public side to explain." ” Matsudaira Nobutsuna waved his hand and let the samurai outside the door leave, then he sighed lightly and said, "Itakura Shigemasa's ability is too poor, I shouldn't believe him." ” Miyake Shigeri shook his head and said: "The Ming people intervened, this is no way, now the Chongchang Palace's tired enemy strategy is still good, presumably it can take the original city faster, and then the palace can easily deal with the Ming Dynasty, and even recover Tsushima Island." ” Matsudaira Shintsuna's expression was a little solemn, and he said: "This matter is not so simple, there are only two things we have to do, the first thing is to flatten the Shimabara Rebellion as soon as possible."
Second, keep an eye on the movements of the Akito, and they have to tell me every move, and ......
Notify the public. ” Miyake Shigetoshi looked at Matsudaira Nobutsuna, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes." ” This matter was reported directly to the shogunate, which was an admission of failure, and the future credit was overshadowed.
While they were talking, Itakura Shigemasa gathered a large army and pushed all the way to the original castle, making a strong attack.
The original castle was in shock, and Amakusa Shiro and others went to the castle together.
"What's going on, why are they here again?"
Heizaburo was shocked.
The last time they killed or injured fifty or sixty thousand, they didn't take the original city, is this crazy?
Amakusa Shiro was also puzzled in his heart, but he still endured it, and said with an unmoving face, "No matter what conspiracy they play, we must not move like a mountain and hold the original city!"
” "Yes!"
Heizaburo and the others immediately agreed, with a focused expression, looking firmly at the shogunate army that was about to rush up.
The original castle is their last piece of territory, according to what the shogunate did, if the original castle is broken, they will all be slaughtered, and there will be no one left!
Itakura Shigemasa pressed the army, surrounded the original castle, and at the same time, the bells and drums sounded in unison, and the offensive momentum was sufficient, and the army also moved forward from time to time, threatening the original castle.
But they did not come within range of the bows and arrows of the original city, and stopped at a certain distance, quickly turned away, and another group of people rushed again.
There were twists and turns in the original castle, and everyone was nervous, holding their weapons tightly, and they didn't dare to breathe and looked at the shogunate army.
"Stop!"
Itakura Shigemasa ordered the army to be withdrawn, and said: "Come again in half an hour, and besides, the people who are in ambush are not allowed to move, but I want to see how long this Amakusa Shiro can last." ” "Yes!"
A group of daimyos, the head of the family agreed with Itakura Shigema's method, not only did not damage their people, but also shocked the original castle.
Of course, many people are still slandering, if they had used it earlier, why did they bother to damage so many people, and it has been delayed so far.
Until late at night, the shogunate army was playing happily, and even hit the bow and arrow shooting range of the original castle several times, causing a rain of arrows.
When Itakura Shigemasa found out about this, he asked the army to keep tempting and consume the number of bows and arrows in the original castle.
The sky was dark, but the bells and drums under the city rang in unison, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and from time to time they could hit the downstairs, and they were restless.
Ignore it, they rush to the front from time to time, think about it, they are not really attacking the city.
Heizaburo had been wasted for most of the day, and now his spirit and body were quite tired, and he was still tense from time to time, so he turned his head to look at Amakusa Shiro and said, "Angel, what should I do now, the shogunate army clearly wants us to not be able to rest, and if we continue like this, we will collapse ourselves." ” Amakusa Shiro had already discovered that this was a plan to exhaust the enemy, that is, to let them drag down their bodies and spirits, and then take the original castle without waste.
Amakusa Shiro said: "Divide the people into three waves, and take turns to defend the city and rest in waves."
Remember, you can't be careless, you can't relax in the slightest, Shigemasa Itakura has been staring at us, and once we relax, it's really a siege. ” "Yes!"
Heizaburo answered and quickly went to arrange.
Itakura Shigemasa has been observing the movements of the original castle, and seeing that Amakusa Shiro has responded, he can't help frowning, he has crossed the river bridge, Amakusa Shiro has crossed the river ladder, and the two are-for-tat, which makes his tired strategy greatly reduced.
Two or three days passed, and the original city was still as stable as Mount Tai, although it appeared tired, but it did not appear in the situation he expected.
This made Itakura Shigemasa anxious, eager to launch another strong attack, but in the end he held back, came to Matsudaira Nobutsuna's hall, bowed down and said: "Nobutsuna Hall, although the strategy worked, it still takes time, please give me a little more time." ” Matsudaira Nobutsuna is very calm now, at least on the outside, he looked at Itakura Shigemasa and said lightly: "Chongchang Palace, you have disappointed me." ” Itakura Shigemasa knew that Matsudaira Nobutsuna would be able to take him down, so he bowed deeply again and said: "Nobutsuna Palace, the original castle Amakusa Shiro is quite cunning, now as long as the city is besieged, when they are short of food and grass, they can break the city in one fell swoop, there is no other way." ” Although there is a so-called iron cannon in the Wa Kingdom, it is just a castrated strengthened version of the arquebus, and it does not pay much attention to artillery, and it is not used much.
The method of besieging the city was a plan that Matsudaira Nobutsuna had decided a long time ago, but it was interrupted by the successive appearances of the Ming Dynasty.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna is not worried about Hara Castle now, after all, it is a battle of trapped beasts, and it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated, he is worried that it is the movement of Akito.
The fleet of the Ming Dynasty has disappeared for a day, and the Chikugo Domain sent ships to the sea for a hundred miles to investigate and did not find it, where did they go and where can they go?
What the hell is the conspiracy?

This is like a thorn, deeply pierced in Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart, so that he doesn't vomit unhappy, but he can't vomit anything.
For Itakura Chongchang, he had lost patience, and just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, the original city will be handed over to the Chongchang Palace, I hope you can take the original city as soon as possible, and I will intercede for you on the public side." ” "Yes.
Thank you Shinzuna!
Itakura Shigemasa bowed down and said in a deep voice.
After Itakura Shigemasa left, Matsudaira Nobutsuna took the map of the Wakoku and looked at it, and slowly drew his fingers along Tsushima Island, Hizen Domain, and Chikugo Domain from west to east, paused at the Kanmon Strait, continued eastward, and finally landed his fingers on the location of Edo.
"Do they want to go to Edo?"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna muttered to himself, but his heart was startled by his idea.
If the Akito fleet went to Edo, it might not be able to do anything, but as long as it appeared near Edo, it would definitely cause a violent shock from the shogunate!
The more Matsudaira Nobutsuna thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and he couldn't help frowning deeply and his eyes flickering.
The Wa Kingdom did not have a fleet at sea, and even if they could recruit fishing boats, they could not stop the Ming Dynasty at sea, the sea was too big, and it was really difficult to find unless they met by chance.
Do you want to remind Tokugawa Iemitsu?
No, if he is reminded, it means that he is incompetent, and at the same time, even if he is reminded, Tokugawa Iemitsu can't do anything, he can't let the samurai take a fishing boat to fight the Ming people overseas for dozens of miles and hundreds of miles.
What's more, the thousands of Ming people can't go ashore, at most it's a deterrent.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart was like lightning, and finally silently put away the map, as if he hadn't thought of anything just now, didn't know anything, and then closed the door.
He hadn't slept well in days, and he was going to get some sleep today.
Itakura Shigemasa is still continuing his tired tactics, and Amakusa Shiro on the original castle has calmed down, he is sure that Itakura Shigemasa will not attack for the time being, but he does not dare to be careless, and still sees the move, confronts the shogunate army, and delays time.
On the other hand, Cao Bianjiao, who was in Tsushima Mansion, paid close attention to every move on Jiuguo Island, and all kinds of information quickly fell on his desk.
The people led by He Xilian continued to analyze, deduce, and then report to Cao Bianjiao.
Cao Bianjiao knew the situation on Jiuguo Island and shook his head secretly.
There is no fortress in the world that cannot fall, and Itakura Shigemasa used the wrong strategy before, and now he can only continue to go on the wrong side.
"Matsudaira Nobutsuna still has an army of seventy or eighty thousand, and if it continues to be consumed like this, it will be the shogunate army that can't hold on, even if we don't block the Kanmon Strait."
He Xilian stood in front of Cao Bianjiao and said.
Cao Bianjiao nodded lightly, and then said, "Where is Liu Jingming now?"
” He Xilian silently calculated the time and said: "You should get to the Guanmen Strait soon, but wait for some reconnaissance in advance before you act, the narrowest part of the Guanmen Strait is less than a thousand meters, so you have to make some preparations." ” This is also the blind spot of Matsudaira Nobutsuna's thinking, how can such a 'small river' pass in a few steps?
Cao Bianjiao thought about it and said, "Three thousand people from North Korea, one thousand people from Ryukyu, and one thousand people from Mongolia have now arrived on Jeju Island and are training, and at most half a month of Yinyin will be brought over." ” He Xilian naturally knew about this, but it was much faster than he expected, and he said with some surprise: "Great, with these five thousand people, we have more room to move." ”
