    Night is falling!

    Edo Castle is still burning, and even on the distant hillside, you can still clearly see the fire that dyes the night sky red. Tokugawa Hidetada sat on the horse, feeling full of bitterness!

    Judging from the merciless and devastating blow of the Ming army, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the Japanese country this time not for benefits or to gain the false name of a suzerain country, but to completely conquer the Japanese country. This was Tokugawa Hidetada's final decision.  A situation I don¡¯t want to see!

    "Father!" Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was wearing a suit of armor, came over and said, "Our army has set up defenses, but the food and water we brought out are not much. Now it seems that we can only hold on for three days. If within three days  If reinforcements don¡¯t arrive, we may have to prepare to evacuate!¡±

    Tokugawa Hidetada nodded and said, "What's going on with the Ming army?"

    Tokugawa Iemitsu pondered for a moment and said: "The Ming army is very strange. They did not surround our army, and and they did not place any defenders at the foot of the mountain!"

    Tokugawa Hidetada's eyes narrowed, he hammered his leg hard, and said angrily: "The Ming army bullied us too much. They relied on their powerful iron cannons and cavalry to believe that we could not escape, so they were so slack.  Look!"

    Tokugawa Iemitsu also said helplessly: "Their iron cannons are so powerful. Not only can they be used on horses, but they also have a range of more than a hundred steps. At least in terms of iron cannons, our army is completely at a disadvantage. If their iron cannons are  The artillery is so powerful, it is really difficult for us to win this battle!"

    "Alas!" Tokugawa Hidetada sighed and said: "No matter what, we can't give up easily. Go tell the samurai that our reinforcements are already on the way. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will launch a counterattack!"

    Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that this was just to cheer up the samurai under his command, but there was no other way now, so Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded sharply and said: "Yes! I will go and cheer everyone up!"

    While the Tokugawa father and son were talking, in the grass two hundred steps away from the foot of the hillside, two Ming soldiers wearing black clothes were looking at them with binoculars!

    "Huzi, the distance is too far, a full five hundred steps, and it's still shooting from above, it's impossible to hit!" Niu Damao, who was staring at the telescope, said with some annoyance!

    "Didn't the commander say it! Our main purpose is to monitor, we can't act rashly, what does it matter whether we can fight or not?" Huzi, holding the mini rifle, said nonchalantly!

    "That's a big shot among the Japanese. If we kill him, we brothers can be promoted to corporal!" Niu Damao rolled his eyes at Huzi, feeling dissatisfied with his negative attitude!

    "Hey!" Huzi said disdainfully: "When I came here, I told you not to let us startle the enemy. If we really kill that dwarf, it might ruin the big thing. Don't mention the military rank by then.  Go up there and get picked up by the chief again!"

    "It's true for those officials. Isn't war just about killing people and setting fires? You have to engage in these mysterious things, which makes people feel awkward!" Apparently Niu Damao gave up the idea of ??taking credit because of his great power.  , but he still muttered dissatisfiedly!

    The night wind blew gently, and both the people on the mountain and the people below were very quiet. This may be an extremely rare quiet night. No one knows what will happen in this land after tonight!

    Outside Edo Castle!

    Cao Ling has moved his main camp here, and the seaside camp has been completely handed over to the maritime support fleet. They unload cargo day and night. They have unloaded more than 200 ships of grain, gunpowder, and artillery shells. These supplies are enough  A month's consumption of Cao Ling's army!

    Of course, Cao Ling cannot bring only these things to this battle. The maritime support fleet also needs to travel between Edo Bay and Jeju Island to continuously transport supplies until Cao Ling establishes a stable logistics base in Japan.  !

    Of course, the maritime support fleet¡¯s hard work cannot be in vain. For example, after unloading the supplies this time, before the maritime support fleet returns to Jeju Island, they have ten days to hunt slaves in the Japanese country, and these slaves are sea slaves.  As for the remuneration for merchants to support the fleet, how much they can get depends on their ability!

    The total number of sailors on the two hundred ships totaled more than 13,000. With so many people belonging to different merchants, it was not easy to control them. However, when this maritime merchant support fleet was established in Nanjing,  The terms have been negotiated between the maritime merchants!

    According to the agreement signed by all maritime merchants participating in the Japanese expedition, all the benefits obtained in the Japanese country this time, whether it is land, gold, silver or slaves, will be distributed according to the number of people who left the ship!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Because the maritime merchants are searching for wealth in the Japanese country this time and need the protection of Cao Ling's army, so theyThirty percent of ?'s income will be given to Cao Ling, and the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company has the largest number of men and ships in the maritime support fleet!

    The eyes of more than 10,000 men who were wallowing in the wind, waves and knife edges were already glowing green. They had been practicing in Nanjing for two months, and then moved from Nanjing to Jeju Island and finally to Japan. It can be said that they have been depressed.  It's been too long, this time I have to wait for a big fight!

    This time, in order to maintain the few military disciplines of this group of sailors, Cao Ling sent ten military police from the Guards Infantry. However, before coming, Cao Ling told them that this time they would supervise the sailors, mainly to record records.  How many things have these people stolen? Don't let them hide them. As long as those people don't do too much, don't worry about other things!

    Just two of the ten gendarmes led a team of about 2,000 sailors. After dividing the manpower, the five teams set off at night. The gendarmes had a detailed map of the Japanese country in their hands. They would follow the Japanese map marked on the map.  Take the location of the country village and grab it one by one with the sailors!

    This matter is really a retribution caused by the cycle of nature. Back then, the Japanese pirates had unimpeded access to the southeastern coast because of the Ming Dynasty's internal response. Now the Ming army also has a detailed map of the Japanese country in their hands, and this map is also the Japanese pirates.  The Chinese provided it to Ming Dynasty!

    Li Dakui and Li Erkui are two brothers. Their father is a member of the Jinyiwei family. They followed Luo Sigong to North Korea. As a result, he blocked a knife for Luo Sigong on the battlefield and lost an arm. Because of improper handling, he survived for a month.  Mourning a foreign land!

    Luo Sigong is also a nostalgic person, so after becoming the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he let the two Li brothers join the Jinyi Guard together with a stroke of a pen. The eldest brother became a hereditary member of the Han Dynasty's army, and the second child became a small flag in the Han Dynasty army!

    After Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, he directly changed the Han pro-army into military police. The two brothers naturally became military police. Because they trained hard and were clever, they were sent to the infantry of the Guards to become military police!

    This time when they came to Japan, the Li brothers volunteered to join the expeditionary force for a very good reason - to avenge their father!

    With such a reason, no one was willing to stop them, so the Li brothers followed the expedition to the Japanese country as they wished. Of course, the reason why the Li brothers came to the Japanese country was to avenge their father, but more importantly,  They want to take credit and make money as soon as possible!

    However, this time the sailor slave hunter who supervises the maritime merchant support fleet was not requested by the Li brothers, but because no one wanted to do this kind of thing, so they all drew lots together. As a result, the two brothers got the red lot together and had no choice but to do it themselves.  He accepted his bad luck and came here to do this unlucky job!

    ? Normally, following the sailors to hunt slaves is a good job, but why are the military police unwilling to come?

    This is mainly because the sailors have no military discipline at all, and even Cao Ling did not set any clear military discipline standards for them. Therefore, the military police cannot control these people even if they want to!

    This situation makes the military police who are accustomed to the strict discipline standards of the Guards very uncomfortable. Therefore, no one is willing to come to this muddy water. But whether they are willing to come is one thing, and whether they come is another.  No matter how awesome the military police are, they wouldn¡¯t dare to disobey orders, right?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
