Three days later, Dolgon led an army of 50,000 and landed on the island of Lùsì.
The topography of Shikoku Island is very special, and it is basically bounded by a few mountain ranges, and the rest is basically plain.
Dolgon's cavalry launched a blitzkrieg, and with the assistance of the MI, it swept across the island of Shikoku almost one-sidedly.
The four feudal cities did not last long at all, and they were captured, except for the 'surrender' in advance, Dolgon did not accept the surrender of others, and executed all the four powerful guards, including Sanuki Mamoru, and killed tens of thousands of powerful families in the four countries!
In contrast, more than a hundred governors of the families knelt at Dorgon's feet in submission.
In Iyo, Matsuyama Castle.
Dolgon reclined in his chair, he had become richer and richer in recent years, his eyes were more gloomy, he groped his smooth forehead, looked at Duoduo on the lower left, and said in a hoarse voice: "How are you doing?"
” Duoduo's eyes were red, murderous, and his face was fanatical, and he said, "It's almost done, no one dares to make trouble." ” Dolgon let out a 'hmm' in his nose, as if he was tired, and said, "Others." ” Duoduo said: "The eldest brother's side has redivided the sphere of influence and distributed it to the more than 100 families, and they are above us, and they will fight with us, with a total of 10,000 people."
Also, there are 200,000 stone of grain, 1 million of silver, 10,000 of gold, and many others, all of which I secretly look at, and my eldest brother doesn't know about them. ” Dolgon touched his head, stood up, his eyes were cold, and said, "We have lost so much, we must make up for it."
You go and train their 10,000 good people, even if it is a meat shield, it is enough for the enemy to cut down for a while......"
Duoduo seemed to be venting the anger in his heart, his eyes were blood-red, and he said: "Brother, this country is vulnerable, let's speed up, where are we going next?"
” Dolgon glanced at the wrench in his hand and said, "Yang Sichang hasn't ordered it yet, let's rest for a while."
By the way, what's the news from Phnom Penh?
” Duoduo was immediately resentful, and said: "That Hong Chengchou is very capable, the governor of Phnom Penh, both grace and power, has suppressed many rebellions, then Yu Jackie Chan has a reputation of 'loving the people like a son', Wu Sangui used his troops fiercely, and fought with several waves of rebels, and in the end there were only a few hundred people left, and he was forced to win......
Dorgon looked outside, his eyes flickering as he could still smell blood.
He couldn't guess Zhu Xu's thoughts, and he didn't know what Zhu Xu's next plan was, but Dolgon always felt that Zhu Xu had already arranged everything, just waiting for him to step into it step by step.
Over the years, he has been driven by the Ming Dynasty, fighting in the south and in the north, like a kite in the sky, it seems to be zìyóu, but in fact it has been tied to the hands of others.
Perhaps, when he chose to surrender and betrayed Huang Taiji, it was a mistake in both eyes?
Dolgon couldn't help but think, his eyes had a complicated look.
Over the years, he has thought a lot, and he has never spoken to anyone, and only he knows the pain in his heart.
Duoduo didn't know how much pressure Dorgon had, so he came over and said, "Brother, these warriors of the Wa Kingdom are quite fierce and have a tendon, if they are trained well, they are definitely a good sword, much stronger than those Ānnán people and Phnom Penh people......"
Dolgon ignored him and said, "Let the brothers rest well, sweep away all evil, and wait quietly, and do nothing else." ” The Dodor understood, and said, "I know. ” Cao Bianjiao's fleet was still cruising in the Seto Strait to prevent reinforcements from the Japanese state, but the other side was as quiet as usual, and there was no intention of rescue.
Zheng Zhilong and Cao Bianjiao were eating, and said in a somewhat muffled voice: "Dudu, Dolgon has enough supplies over there, and the coal on the supply ship can be used for a long time, so let's just float like this?"
” Cao Bianjiao took a sip of soup, looked up at the heroic young general standing with a gun not far in front, and said, "Your son?"
” Zheng Zhilong looked embarrassed and said, "The last general was confused when he was young, and he was born to a woman from the Japanese country, named Zheng Sen. ” Cao Bianjiao observed for a while and said, "Not bad."
It won't be long before the Wa Kingdom is a province of my Da Ming, even if he has the blood of the Wa Kingdom, the emperor will not mind, I will write a letter and recommend him to go to the Royal Military Academy. ” Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed after being shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Governor, the lower officials will not forget." ” Cao Bianjiao didn't mean to be kind to Zheng Zhilong, but he really liked this young guy, he was resolute, resolute, and his eyes had unusual firmness at a young age.
Zheng Sen turned his head to look at his father, who had just gotten up, a little puzzled, and then continued to stare at the sea, watching every move in the distance.
Perhaps it was because the Wa Kingdom had been prepared for a long time, and the fall of Shikoku Island, there was almost no fluctuation in the upper layer, and the silence was terrible.
But below, the major daimyos, feudal lords, etc., were panicked and terrified, especially the daimyo of Kyukoku Island, who was almost nervous and couldn't sleep at night.
I don't know how many daimyo people are walking around, trying to figure out what kind of mentality the shogunate is.
For a while, rumors were spreading, and the entire Wa Kingdom, especially Edo, was very loud for a while, and Emperor Gomizuo, who was hiding in the Imperial Palace, also came out and personally asked Tokugawa Iemitsu if he wanted to betray the Wa Kingdom.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was so anxious by the rumors that he finally rested, and heard that the major daimyo had different mentalities, especially the foreign daimyos, who seemed to have contact with the Ming Dynasty.
Those daimyo who originally said that they were good at conscription, at this time they all had the intention of self-preservation, and they refused to easily lead their troops out of the domain.
Edo Castle.
In the room, Tokugawa Iemitsu was silently boiling tea, and his expression was calm, as usual.
Naito sat on his knees opposite him, but his expression was quite solemn.
After a while, Tokugawa Iemitsu took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, but the Celestial Empire is crusading against me, and there are still many people inside and outside the city who are happy to see it, right?"
” Naito Masakatsu lowered his head and said, "Neifu, they are all short-sighted people, they can't see the true purpose of the Ming Dynasty, so they don't need to pay attention to it." ” Tokugawa Iemitsu was wearing a monk's robe, looked up at Naito Masakatsu, and said, "There are many people who can't sit still now, I heard that there are many people who have surrendered on the island of Shikoku, and there are many feudal lords who I personally canonized?"
” Naito Masakatsu's brows furrowed, and his heart was cold.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's methods have always been ruthless, and the betrayal of these people is afraid that it has aroused the killing intent in his heart.
He pondered and said, "The inner government, Edo, and the entire Wa country need to be stabilized. ” Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes twitched coldly, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "We need them to send troops and food, and some can't move."
Still, the necessary beating is a must.
Also, there are some people who don't have to stay now. ” Naito Masakatsu understood that Tokugawa Iemitsu was going to kill him after all, and he had to do it.
"Yes."
Naito Masakatsu said decisively.

If he hesitates a little, his family may not be guaranteed, and even the Shengshan Domain will be changed.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said 'um', perhaps with a cold, he picked up his teacup again and drank the strong tea in the quilt.
After waiting for a while, Naito Masakatsu raised his head and said, "Neifu, the next move of the Ming Dynasty is still unclear, what are we going to do?"
” Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "We did a deduction three years ago, if we want to defeat the Ming Dynasty, we can't wear it for a long time, we must win in one battle, find their main force, and eliminate it in one fell swoop, and now it is still this strategy." ” Naito Masakatsu frowned and said, "Neifu, the Ming people have 60,000 soldiers in Ezo, and they may go south at any time."
Now that they have captured the island of Shikoku, they may directly attack their own island, and if there is a war on both sides, with more than 100,000 troops, it will be difficult for us to win in one battle......"
Tokugawa Iemitsu poured the tea slowly and said, "This is also the reason why many people's minds are fluctuating.
What's the news coming out of Mingxiu's side?
” Naito Masakatsu saw that Tokugawa Iemitsu still refused to reveal his confidence, so he had to say, "Wakaden only saw one deputy director of their Foreign Affairs Bureau, and none of the other high-ranking officials saw it."
Judging from the information he received, it seems that the Ming people are very determined to annex our Wa Kingdom.
In addition, they demanded that the Ming Zheng tiānhuáng be sent to the Great Ming as a sign of sincerity. ” Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't seem to hear it, and said, "How many new troops are there?"
” Naito Masakatsu looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu and said, "Pro-domain, it's okay to say that the daimyo of the spectrum are willing to send troops now."
At present, only about 80,000 samurai have been identified, and with the previous ones, there are only 200,000 in total, and in addition, the money and food have not yet been raised. ” In recent years, Tokugawa Iemitsu has done a lot of things to strengthen his control over the major names, but after all, it is a feudal state, no matter how it is not a county, the control is still insufficient, plus the natural disasters are becoming more and more intense, and the civil unrest has not stopped, so the shogunate has almost no reserves, but it is eating food and overdraft is serious.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "Continue to exert pressure, and in addition, reduce the use of various places, and make every effort to support the army."
On the side of the Mutsu Domain, 40,000 troops were added, and the six northern feudal domains were re-recruited and sent to Matsudaira Nobutsuna.
The rest of the army was handed over to Izu Mamoru . ” Mamoru Izu, that is, Tadashi Aoyama.
If Tokugawa Iemitsu's request is followed, the number of samurai recruited by the Wa Kingdom may be as many as 300,000!
This is quite demanding for money and food, and there is no time for war, it is a bottomless pit!
Naito Masakatsu looked solemn, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ” Ezo Island, a feudal castle.
Yang Sichang already knew the news from Dolgon's side, and walked into the staff office's squad with a relaxed demeanor.
Qian Jinxiao was discussing strategy and tactics with more than 20 staff officers, and when he saw Yang Sichang coming, he got up one after another and saluted: "I've seen the Governor." ” Yang Sichang smiled and nodded, sat down on a chair, and said; "How's your deduction?"
Qian Jinxiao glanced at the others and said, "Governor, we tend to start a war from Kyukoku Island and annihilate the 100,000 people of Aoyama Tadashi in Kagoshima, then Kyukoku Island will not be a threat, and it can be used as a base to cross the Kanmon Strait, advance step by step, and enter Edo." ” Yang Sichang was not surprised, this was still the strategy that the Shuai Mansion had deduced at the beginning.
The island was the richest, strongest, and densely populated place in the Wa Kingdom, and if a direct war was to start a war there, it would be enough to drag the Ming Dynasty into a quagmire, and it would be difficult to advance and retreat.
Therefore, the meaning of the marshal is that it is much easier to let the blood of the Wa Kingdom dry on the island of Kyukoku, and then enter the island of the country.
Yang Sichang is not a person who is stubborn, but as the commander of the front line, he has different considerations, and said: "Aoyama Tadashi used 30,000 people to keep an eye on Kagoshima, and the rest of the troops are missing, obviously, he has no intention of storming Kagoshima, so, should we send troops north and take the initiative to find it?"
” Qian Jin Xiaodao: "Our idea is that Zuo Liangyu led his 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north, step by step, steadily and steadily, and Dolgon's army followed, 70,000 troops, with firearms, enough to deal with the 80,000 people of Qingshan Zhongjun." ” Yang Sichang looked at the sand table in front of him, picked up a red flag, and said, "Here, I still have 10,000 people, who are the elite of my Liaodong camp." ” Qian Jinxiao looked up, and the place where Yang Sichang inserted it was on Shima Island.
A group of staff officers glanced at each other, and then looked at Qian Jinxiao.
Qian Jinxiao understood what Yang Sichang meant, and said, "What does the metropolitan governor mean is to start from Tsushima Island and attack the Chikuzen Domain?"
” Chikuzen Domain, the northernmost feudal kingdom of Kyukoku Island, is facing Korea, and Tsushima Island is exactly in the middle.
Yang Sichang stood up, his expression was cold, and said: "In this battle of conquest, the initiative must be firmly in our hands, once we lose it, we will lose half of it if we are led by the nose of the Japanese state!"
” Qian Jinxiao woke up in horror and said: "Is the Metropolitan Governor saying that Qingshan Zhongjun is deliberately retreating for advance, and it is estimated that he will exchange land for time and compete for the initiative?"
” Yang Sichang looked around and said: "This Metropolitan Governor knows that you are all from the Royal Political Academy, you have learned solidly, and you have some experience, but the most important thing in combat is not to despise any opponent, and prudence is the key to success or failure!"
” Qian Jinxiao and the others hurriedly saluted and said, "The lower officials and others must follow the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor!"
” Yang Sichang nodded slightly, and said: "Those 10,000 people are led by the marshal's closed disciple, Li Dingguo, I didn't want to use it, but I can only use him now, you can deduce the tactics as soon as possible, and send him an order." ” "Yes!"
Qian Jin is filial.
Yang Sichang pondered for a moment and said, "Order Cao Bianjiao to send Dolgon to Kagoshima, and Zuo Liangyu belongs to him as commander."
Then the naval fleet went to Tsushima to repair and await my orders. ” "Yes."
Qian Jinxiao is in good health again.
Yang Sichang didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the staff office.
Qian Jinxiao and others stepped up the exercise again, and there were constant discussions and quarrels in the staff office.
After the Ming Dynasty captured Shikoku Island, it entered a short period of recuperation.
And the Wa country is still quiet and terrible, even with the fierce clamor for war, but it is always suppressed by the shogunate.
Kagoshima.
Zuo Liangyu patrolled the city, and Huashan was by his side for a long time. 30,000 people gathered in the city, there were always big and small problems, but fortunately, the Japanese people were obedient and the samurai were fierce.
Huashan followed for a long time, and when he saw that there was no one beside him, he said: "My lord, Shan County and 130,000 people stopped there, will we not move?"
If it goes on like this, the ...... will be blamed from above."

Huashan is really anxious, after waiting for so many years, he is still cowering in the city, and the other side has already captured Shikoku Island, and they have not yet sent a single soldier.
Zuo Liangyu was really not in a hurry, he knew that it was not yet time for the big war, he held the knife in his hand, walked around, and said: "There are still 50,000 troops behind Shan County and Yiyi, and we can't act rashly if we don't find out the location." ” Huashan was impatient and said, "Then, when will we move?"
” Zuo Liangyu stopped, looked at the gray sky, and said, "Wait for Dolgon to come." ”15
