Li Dingguo's actions were naturally to let Aoyama Tadashi know his purpose.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tadashi Aoyama to receive the news.
The old man had a calm face and said, "Palace, are the Ming people going to attack their own island?"
” The essence of the Wa Kingdom is on its own island, and if the island of Kyukoku is chaotic and the island of Shikoku is lost, the shogunate can be calm, but once the Ming army enters the island, I am afraid that no one will be able to calm down, and those who are still pushing back and hindering, and the daimyo will deeply feel the crisis.
This will be a real danger for the Japanese nation, and a real earthquake is coming.
Tadashi Aoyama looked at the map in front of his desk, his eyes fell on the Kanmon Strait, and then to the right, which was the island of his own country.
The island of the country is mountainous and plain, the Ming Dynasty has a strong cavalry, can gallop more than 200 miles a day, if you cross the Guanmen Strait, or can drive straight in, straight to Luoyang [Edo]!
But Aoyama Tadashi's gaze quickly moved back, and he said in an indifferent tone: "As soon as I am on Jiuguo Island, the Ming people cannot enter their own island without scruples, their purpose is to control the Guanmen Strait and cut off our backup, and secondly, they want to lure me out." ” The old man listened and said: "Palace, that can't be good, the Ming people have always been treacherous, if they really enter the island of their country, I am afraid that the public side will be angry!"
” Qingshan Zhongjun's face was like iron, he couldn't see his expression, and said lightly: "Don't worry, take a look."
The navy of the Ming Dynasty, where is it now?
” The old man really couldn't understand it, at this time, Aoyama Tadashi was still 'not in a hurry', and was silent for a while, and said: "Most of them are stationed in the Tsushima Domain, and some are scattered around, and there are some in Funai Bay and Kanmen Strait.
Now they're going to attack the Kanmon Strait, and they're probably going to concentrate around there. ” Qingshan Zhongjun stared at the Guanmen Strait, nodded secretly, and said: "The Guanmen Strait, not only 30,000, but 60,000 on each side of the strait, and more can be supported at any time, don't worry." ” The elders are now not only worried about the closure of the strait, but also about them now.
In the entire Jiuguo Island, only the Fat Domain is still in their hands, but they have an army of 70,000, and the Fat Domain can't afford to raise it at all, and it won't be long before the grain and grass can't keep up, and if they can't replenish it, they may collapse without a fight.
Aoyama Tadashi naturally understood these in his heart, and the old man didn't say much, and said: "According to the news from all over the country, Dolgon sent 20,000 people to sweep through the eight countries except the fat domain, and swept them with cavalry, and all those who did not resist were killed, and even slaughtered the city......
They looted an unknown amount of gold and silver, money and grain, and Heitian Zhongzhi was even more forcibly requisitioned, and it is said that they already have 20,000 people in their hands, and they are training with the help of the Ming Dynasty......"
These Aoyama Tadashi knew earlier, their faces were expressionless, and they said, "Let them kill, is there any change over there in Kagoshima?"
” The old man had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he still replied: "No, we blocked the shore, but there was no way in the sea, they often went to sea, and there were also Ming Dynasty navy haunts." ” Kagoshima is a peninsula derived from the inner lake, which leads to the sea, and the Ming navy comes and goes.
If the Japanese did not have a strong navy, they would be helpless against such a place.
Aoyama Tadashi put away the map and said, "Let them be optimistic and block."
Let the halls come to me. ” Aoyama Tadashi is different from Itakura Shigemasa or Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he is a person who came from the Tokugawa Ieyasu era, is loyal to the Tokugawa family, is the head of the Tokugawa family, and Tokugawa Iemitsu respects the figure.
These daimyos, whether they are outsiders, genealogies or relatives, have not dared to snub Aoyama Tadashi.
"Yes."
The old way.
For Aoyama Tadashi's immobility and letting Kyukoku Island fall, the major names, especially those from Kyukoku Island, are naturally quite angry, there have been various voices in the army, and there are signs of instability, Aoyama Tadashi needs to be pacified and controlled.
On the other side, Dolgon was stationed in the inner city of Fu, Daishan, Mandahai, Duoduo, Heitian Zhongzhi and others led a large army to gallop across the five northern countries, sweeping away all evils, and at the same time collecting grain, grass, money and grain.
Except for the fat domain, the island of Kyukoku is basically under the control of Dolgon, and with their 'kill if you don't obey' personality, they have confiscated the warehouses and arsenals of the unknown number of daimyo and families.
In just half a month, the inner city of the house was full of money and grain, and there were hundreds of governors kneeling down to them!
Hei Tianzhong was full of spirit and complacent, because these family governors belonged to his command, and his army swelled to 20,000 people!
On Kyukoku Island, the only danger is Tadashi Aoyama, who is cowering in the middle of nowhere.
In addition to intense military training these days, Kurotenyuki is to investigate the location of Tadashi Aoyama and ask for his life at the same time, hoping to cut off Tadashi Aoyama as soon as possible in order to completely control Jiuguo Island for peace of mind.
Dolgon's cavalry went around, constantly provoking, trying to force out Aoyama Tadashi, but Aoyama Tadashi was like an old turtle, but he didn't come out, which made Dolgon and the others very helpless, and they also admired his determination.
At the same time, Li Dingguo led 5,000 men with 1,000 cannons and arrived not far from the Guanmen Strait.
The army was still simply resting and recuperating, maintaining the artillery, and Li Dingguo took people to the Guanmen Strait not far away, and secretly observed.
The deputy general was beside him, rubbing his shoulders, looking at Li Dingguo's arm that was still tied with bandages and hanging, and said, "My lord, our injuries are not good, Dolgon also said, it doesn't matter if the speed is slow, why are you in such a hurry?"
” Li Dingguo took the binoculars, looked through the woods, looked in the direction of the Guanmen Strait, and said, "Let them raise the big basket, the angle is just right." ” The adjutant general responded, followed and looked, and after a while, he suddenly frowned.
This Guanmen Strait is not what he expected, it is not like a strait, a ferry, but more like a fortress, full of turrets, tall buildings, various fortifications, and strict patrols of samurai, which is beyond imagination.
What's more, he saw a lot of concrete buildings, turrets, fences, watchtowers, and so on.
Immediately, he hated it and said, "My lord, it's not a pity for Luo Yang to die 10,000 times!"
” Li Dingguo was still observing carefully, shaking his head as usual and said: "I built water conservancy on a large scale a few years ago in the Ming Dynasty, and cement is not a secret. ” Despite saying this, the deputy general was still resentful, and said: "My lord, the Japanese people have obviously been prepared, and we are afraid that it will not be easy for us to attack......
No wonder the Metropolitan Governor never made a move. ” Li Dingguo put down the binoculars, turned around and got on the raised big basket, and said: "We don't have to guess the strategy of the Grand Governor, we will implement the tactical part first." ” The lieutenant general followed the big basket and looked at the inside of the fortress, and suddenly looked even more shocked.
The layout of this fortress is not like the style of the Japanese Kingdom, but it is like the Ming Dynasty, or rather, it is copied, this fortress is simply a copy of the Shanhaiguan, built on the continuous mountain, the city is high and the wall is thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack!
If you can't break through the point in front of you, you can only bypass it, then you have to go around a long way, and you have to go from the sea to the other side, and the distance will be more than ten times widened at once!
