- Li Dingguo had a headache in the face of the tortoise shell. The storm must have caused too many casualties, and the shelling could not do enough for the city defense artillery due to the terrain.
And the defenders in Tsurumaru Castle were equally terrified. They had been besieged for many days, and their morale was already low. In the attack and defense of the stone wall just now, they directly lost one-fifth of their troops.
Today, there are less than 2,000 defenders, and there is no hope of winning.
If Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's prestige was not still there and he could suppress the samurai and ashigaru in the city, these defenders would definitely surrender without saying a word.
Occupying the stone wall and continuing to besiege the city, Li Dingguo did not panic for the time being.
However, it is said that Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's eldest son, Shimadzu Tsunahisa, returned to Kagoshima from Edo by order of the shogunate. He came back to succeed the family governor, supervised his father's caesarean section to apologize, and ended up going straight to Hirado Castle by boat halfway, accompanied by Matsuura Nobusada from the Matsuura family.
"The shogunate asked me to cut open my stomach? Haha." Matsuura Shigenobu laughed.
Shimadzu Tsunahisa said: "For the current plan, only the Matsuura family will send troops to defeat the Tang soldiers together with my Shimadzu family. Otherwise, even if the family governor is changed, the heavy war compensation cannot be afforded."
The retainer Tianchuan Yuhuang said: "My lord, perhaps you can send Shichizaemon as an envoy to persuade Tang soldiers to relax the conditions for withdrawing troops."
"Let him be an envoy? I'm afraid he will never return!" Matsuura Shigenobu sneered.
Qizaemon is Zheng Daozhou, Zheng Chenggong's younger brother.
And Tianchuan Yuhuang is Zheng Chenggong's pro-grandfather. According to legend, this man's surname was Weng, who was originally from Quanzhou. After entering Japan, he changed his surname and became a retainer of the Matsuura family.
Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, Tian Chuansong, has been taken back to Fujian to settle down, but the Hirado clan is unwilling to let Zheng Daozhou go. This is to force the Zheng family to smuggle goods to Hirado while conducting official trade in Nagasaki.
Matsuura Shigeno believed this person, probably the one with the longest vision among the Japanese feudal lords.
?He has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child, and at the same time he once followed the Christian religion, and quickly grew his strength through maritime trade. The root cause of Tokugawa Iemitsu's seclusion was the Hirado clan, which had seriously threatened the rule of the shogunate.
After the country was closed to the outside world, the Dutch business house in Hirado was also forcibly relocated to Nagasaki by the shogunate.
Although this move greatly damaged the strength of the Hirado Domain, Matsuura Shigenobu was not one to be taken lightly. He encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland, supported the development of industry and commerce, and at the same time secretly engaged in smuggling and pirates. Even when his own house was burned, he could not rebuild it in order to save money and food.
On the other hand, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, this guy owes a lot of debt, and he still wants to build a holiday villa in Kirishima.
? Matsuura Shigenobu later cultivated a good son, not only did not indulge in pleasure, but also promoted Confucian benevolent governance, and devoted himself to helping the poor and the poor.
Standing tall, Matsuura Shigenobu looked at the sky and said, "If the shogunate doesn't send troops, I will come from the Matsuura family!" He suddenly sneered, "The shogunate's plan is nothing more than to use Tang soldiers to weaken the strength of our Matsuura and Shimadzu families. , the rule of his Tokugawa family will be worry-free forever."
Hirado, Zheng's House.
Zheng Daozhou is only eighteen years old this year, but he has already become the head of the Zheng family's trading in Hirado.
"Young master, the Matsuura family seems to be going to war. It's very lively outside the city these days, and the samurai from the castle town are being ordered to enter the city." Zheng Zhong reminded.
Zheng Daozhou sighed: "I know, there are people watching in the business hall, and I am not allowed to take a step away, because I am afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape."
Zheng Zhong worried: "Will the business hall be in danger?"
Zheng Daozhou shook his head: "As long as the Matsuura family still wants to smuggle by sea, they will not attack the Zheng family business house. You send a man to Nagasaki, instead of going by sea, go to Nagasaki by land. Tell the Zheng family business house there, Let them take a boat to Kagoshima to report. It is said that the Matsuura family is gathering troops, and it is likely to go south to fight with the Datong army."
"Yes!" Zheng Zhong bowed and stepped back.
Zheng Daozhou has been adopted to his grandfather's family. His surname should actually be Tagawa, so he is also called Tagawa Jiro in Japan.
Historically, his mother, Tian Chuansong, was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and committed suicide. Zheng Daozhou always asked to return to China to fight against the Qing Dynasty. But the Japanese side never let people go, so Zheng Daozhou could only give up and continue to deliver anti-Qing supplies to his brother Zheng Chenggong in Japan.
This time and space is even more outrageous. Since Zheng Zhilong was made a duke and Zheng Chenggong married a princess as his son-in-law, the Matsuura family attached great importance to Zheng Daozhou. Zheng Daozhou's wife at this time is the youngest sister of the Governor of Matsuura, and her son is already one year old.
However, after Li Dingguo occupied the stone wall, he continued to besiege the city for more than 30 days, and the defenders in the city showed signs of collapse.
After another month of siege, Tsurumaru Castle will be short of food.
Just at this time, news came from the navy that a merchant ship of the Zheng family had arrived from Nagasaki, reporting that the Hirado clan was preparing to gather"
Shimadzu Tsunahisa said: "The iron artillery team of the Matsuura family will definitely be able to fight Tang Bing!"
The coalition forces rested in the valley for a day, and slowly advanced the next day, leaving the valley for a decisive battle with the Datong army.
The Datong Army still only had 5,000 soldiers, and there were more than 20 wild warriors. The rest of the troops were too lazy to bring them over from the besieged city. The main fear is that if all of them are present, the enemy troops will be scared away.
The two coalition forces of Shimadzu and Matsuura, however, included the peasants and pulled them all out to form troops. As far as the number of people is concerned, it is indeed quite magnificent. There are about 20,000 people, which is four times that of the Datong Army.
And there is also a cavalry team, more than two hundred dwarfs, riding on mule-like ponies. Some of them had flags on their backs, and the flags fluttered when they ran, which was indescribably funny in the eyes of Datong soldiers.
These Japanese cavalry rushed to the flanks, Yuan Shizhong led the dragoons out, raised their guns after dozens of steps away.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A burst of gunfire rang out, and more than two hundred Japanese cavalrymen fell down immediately, more than thirty cavalrymen.
Matsuura Shigenobu shouted in surprise: "Get the cavalry back quickly, Tang soldiers have iron cannons on horseback!
? Iron cannon on horseback is Date Masamune's ultimate mystery. In the Sengoku period of Japan, some people also played dragoon tactics
