Itakura Shigemasa knew Shimabara Castle more clearly than Tadashi Aoyama, so he did not try in vain to lure Amakusa Shiro out of the city, nor did he intend to trap him, let alone attack desperately.
Most of these jīdūjiào disciples are peasants, as long as they rush into the city, he has the confidence to completely strangle this group of chaotic people!
Therefore, on the surface, 20,000 people are vigorously attacking the city, and what he hopes for in his heart are two secret passages.
As for the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, it was never in the consideration of Itakura Shigemasa.
Amakusa Shiro stood at the head of the city, even if he had the help of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, but the desperate siege of 20,000 people still gave him a lot of pressure, and there was already a stalemate battle on the city.
Heizaburo was not in a hurry at all, stood next to Amakusa Shiro, and said suspiciously: "Bishop, why do I feel that something is wrong. ” Amakusa Shiro had already found out and said, "It stands to reason that Itakura Shigemasa should besiege the city and then storm it, but he didn't."
Moreover, these 20,000 people seem to be attacking fiercely, but they always feel weak, and it seems that there is still strength left. ” Heizaburo thought for a while and said, "Is this a temptation?"
” Amakusa Shiro shook his head and said, "Itakura Shigemasa is not a fool, he must be doing this to cover his real purpose, let Simen observe carefully, and report any clues to me." ” Heizaburo immediately nodded and said, "Yes." ” Itakura Shigemasa naturally hid his strength, and he stood on a high slope, looking at the head of Shimabara Castle, controlling the rhythm.
Amakusa Shiro didn't use his power either, and the 'stalemate' at Shimahara Castle was more like a temptation for each other.
The shogunate army did not go further, and Amakusa Shiro did not push them all down strongly.
This battle seems quite strange.
At the same time, Kagoshima soon received the news, and Zuo Liangyu and Kayama were waiting for a long time to discuss.
Kayama Hisashi's Chinese is now a correct and round tone, and he said, "Lord Zuo, the 50,000-strong army of Itakura Shigemasa is attacking Shimahara, do we want to deal with it?"
” Zuo Liangyu has gradually calmed down over the years, not as panicked as he was exiled at the beginning, looked at the map, and said, "Qingshan Zhongjun's tens of millions of troops are at the door of the house, if you want to respond, you have to clean them up first." ” Kayama stopped talking for a while, they only had 10,000 people, how could they deal with the shogunate's 70,000 army?
Zuo Liangyu continued to look at the map and said, "According to Governor Yang's plan, the navy will soon enter the strait between Shikoku Island and the national island, and then Dolgon's 50,000 troops will land on the shore, what we have to do is to defend Kagoshima and wait for the army to conquer Shikoku Island, fǎngōng Jiuguo Island!"
” Zuo Liangyu can understand Yang Sichang's purpose, and there are multiple purposes for taking Shikoku Island, first, to deter the shogunate and hit their will to resist.
Second, consume the sharpness of the shogunate army on the island of Kyukoku.
Third, I also want to test it and see the true strength of the shogunate army.
Kayama said: "Then, we can't sit still, do we want to make some movement to attract the attention of Tadashi Aoyama, lest he divide his troops to support Itakura Shigemasa?"
” Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while, and said: "Withdraw all our troops and wàiwéi's manpower to Kagoshima, and clear the wilderness!"
” The Satsuma Domain is a large peninsula, and the core of Kagoshima is a peninsula in the middle of the lake, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Huashan was stunned for a long time and said, "My lord, what does this mean?"
” Zuo Liangyu stood up and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just to put some pressure on Aoyama Zhongjun." ” Kagoshima had 10,000 Japanese servants, 10,000 Koreans, the Ryukyu coalition army, and the scattered samurai of the Satsuma Domain, which could flood Kagoshima with more than 30,000 people.
Although Kagoshima has been preparing for many years, money and food have always been a problem, not to mention staying alone in the city.
Birch Mountain hesitated for a while, did not object, and said, "Yes." ” For the Tokugawa shogunate, Shimabara Castle was considered a civil strife, and it was easy to solve it with a little effort, but the real trouble was the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, which was conquered by the Ming Dynasty and they had not yet been freed up to clean up.
This is the place where the Ming Dynasty has been operating for many years and is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the bane of the threat to the survival of the Japanese state!
Aoyama Tadashi's gaze only occasionally skimmed over Shimahara, and it was the Satsuma clan that was always staring.
The Satsuma Domain shrank sharply, and the walls were clear, which made Aoyama Tadashi very vigilant.
The old county and one knelt beside him and said, "Palace, the Ming people are only afraid that they will respond to Shimahara." ” Aoyama Tadashi's expression was like iron, his face was cold, and he said, "The question is, what is Mingren going to do?"
The total number of Ming troops on Tsushima Island and Ezo Island was as high as 150,000, and they were silent for a month, what did they want to do?
” According to their guesses, there were no more than three places where the Ming people landed, the first was from Tsushima Island, landing on the Hizen Domain, and the second was from Kagoshima, from south to north.
The third is from Ezo Island and landing in the Mutsu Domain, from north to south.
With such a clear strategy, why did the Ming Dynasty not move for a long time?
The Ming people have waited for three years, and the Wa Kingdom has also waited for three years, at this moment, how can the other party still have such patience?
Or maybe the Ming Dynasty was planning more plans......
What the hell is the conspiracy?
Shan Shan Kazuichi groaned and said, "Palace, I think we should strike first, so that it is difficult to win if we are restrained everywhere." ” Aoyama Tadashi said, "Well, I have discussed with the Inner Government that I will control the warriors in Kagoshima, but before that, I must produce the heretics of Shimabara. ” The Shimabara Peninsula is almost on the waist of Kyukoku Island, and at the same time, it can land from the sea, and if it is not eradicated, Aoyama Tadashi will not be able to go south with all his might.
Yama County and one side dewed, and said, "Palace, the current Shimabara City wall is tall, equipped with the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to storm it, I am afraid that it will lose a lot, and I am also worried that Itakura Hall will repeat the mistakes of the past and will not be able to capture Shimahara." ” Aoyama Tadashi glanced at him, his cold face showed a hint of coldness, and said, "He will definitely take it!"
” Yama Prefecture and Ichi nodded slightly, and then said, "Then, how should Kagoshima deal with it?"
” Aoyama Tadashi said: "Order Kato to lead 20,000 people, slowly push forward, and test the purpose of the Ming people first." ” "Yes."
Yama County and along.
As soon as Yama Prefecture and the front were pushed forward, Zuo Liangyu of Kagoshima retreated, and the walls were clear, leaving nothing behind.
Both sides are equally cautious and controllable, without the slightest aggressiveness and misunderstanding of the other.
Mutsu Domain, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was as silent as water, as if he hadn't come, and only some daimyo of Date Masamune knew about it in the outside world.
On the other side of the river, Ezo Island, is as calm, with no official ships or merchant ships coming and going, and it is as quiet as a deep pool.

Edo, too, was quiet, and the entire Wa country, except for the collection of summer grain and the mobilization of more samurai, as if as usual, did not feel at all that a war of annihilation had begun.
The Hongmu is sailing through the strait between Kagoshima and Osumi on its way to Shikokushima.
Behind them, in addition to a hundred warships, there were also two or three hundred large and small ships, standing or sitting on them, all of them were human heads-Jiannu cavalry!
In addition to Dolgon's, there were also some miscellaneous soldiers such as Ānnán, a total of 50,000 people, who were looking eagerly at Shikoku Island.
At this stall, Tokugawa Akihide, Sakai Tadashi and a group of people finally resisted the capital and made contact with the Foreign Affairs Bureau first.
Xue Zhengqing, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, is currently presiding over the affairs of the capital, and listening to the peace conditions brought by Tokugawa Akihide, it can be described as dumbfounded.
The kingdom of Wa actually wanted to use their female tiānhuáng to marry, which is simply unprecedented!
Xue Zhengqing didn't dare to do anything, and hurriedly entered the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Xu was accompanying a few children to class, listening to Xue Zhengqing's return, walking out of the classroom, standing under the eaves, touching his chin, and laughing a little ridiculously.
Xue Zhengqing saw Zhu Xu's expression, and said with deep hatred: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country is not civilized, and the ethics are not known. ” Zhu Xu was very satisfied with Xue Zhengqing's attitude, and said: "Well, you go to the cabinet and talk to Sun Ge Lao, the negotiation drags on, I want to see how much bargaining chips Tokugawa Iemitsu has to pay to delay time." ” Xue Zhengqing raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ” Xue Zhengqing transferred to the cabinet, and Sun Chuanting's attitude was the same as Zhu Xu's, that is, he ignored it and dragged it at will.
After Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu learned the news, they immediately sent a message to Yang Sichang, ordering him to step up the war and not give the Tokugawa shogunate any more time.
Yang Sichang received the order, and a series of secret letters were issued, surrounding the Wa Kingdom, and quickly moved in all directions.
At the same time, Cao Bianjiao's fleet sailed into the strait between Shikoku Island and his own island, and a cannon shot alarmed both sides of the strait!
