I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 308
Chapter 307

Cheng Shijie continued to eat with relish.

Li Zhixiang was a little puzzled and said, "Marshal, are you going to surrender so soon?"

"Surrender ass!"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said: "They don't admit defeat so easily. These two gangsters won't turn back until they hit their heads and bleed!"

Li Zhixiang was a little puzzled and said: "Then why did they raise the white flag?"

"I was beaten up for no reason. If it were you, you would have sent military envoys to ask why you were beaten up."

Cheng Shijie knows these little days too well, and Cheng Shijie actually doesn't want to talk to them, because the talk can't come to any conclusion, the fight should still be fought,

The reason why Cheng Shijie fought in the small life was for Luzon. Whether it was the small day samurai who went to Luzon spontaneously, or the Spaniards or the Dutch were fighting a proxy war, Cheng Shijie decided to solve this problem from the root, or put the Dutch Or the Spaniards led to the small day, and fought a vigorous battle in the small day.

Anyway, when they fought in Xiaotian, what they destroyed was only the pots and pans in Xiaotian's house.

After Cheng Shijie had dinner, he drank two cups of tea, took a bath, changed into casual clothes, and put Cheng Jiayue to sleep. Then he summoned the messenger of the little days in Cheng Shijie's car.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo came in with the envoy of Little Days. Cheng Shijie saw this envoy, I am really short. Cheng Jialong is 13 years old and 1.7 meters tall, but this envoy of Little Days is [-] centimeters shorter than Cheng Jialong.

It's okay to be short, the key is still fat, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a gas tank.

"Shimadzu's vassal, Kitago Tadatora, pay homage to General Kamikoku!"

Beixiang Zhonghu knelt down respectfully and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. His Chinese is very fluent, and he has a Jiangnan accent.

Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said, "Get up."

Beixiang Zhonghu kowtowed again, and said respectfully: "We have seen the invincible heroic appearance of the iron-blooded force under the general's command, but we still don't know the name of the general of Shangguo, please enlighten me!"

"I won't change my name when I'm going, and I won't change my surname when I sit down, Cheng Shijie!"

"Duke Daming Hai, Governor of Liaodong?"

When he learned that the opponent was actually Cheng Shijie, Beixiang Zhonghu was extremely shocked. Three years ago, maybe no one knew who Cheng Shijie was. With 3 or [-] horses, with fewer enemies and more enemies, Jiannu's blood was shed and his vitality was seriously injured.

Even Liaoyang was lost.

That's not to mention, Cheng Shijie is simply a mad wolf, who will bite whoever he catches.

Zheng Zhilong, a good friend of their Satsuma clan, has dominated the sea for more than ten years. After more than half a year of war, the entire Zheng Group was wiped out, and even Zheng Zhilong joined Cheng Shijie. It is said that Zheng Zhilong now walks dogs and plays with birds every day in Liaodong.

Spain carried out three massacres against the Chinese in Luzon. No one in Ming Dynasty said anything, but after Cheng Shijie found out, he brazenly sent troops to Luzon and beat the Spaniards out of Luzon.

The Dutch had a conflict with Cheng Shijie, and Cheng Shijie led Ning Haijun straight to Batavia, abruptly taking Malacca from the Dutch, and now the Dutch also have to pay Cheng Shijie protection fees.

"Your Excellency, General Cheng, is a great martial artist, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

Beixiang Zhonghu changed the subject: "It's just that the villain doesn't know that Cheng Shuai and I have never had any quarrels. On the contrary, there are many businessmen who maintain a good cooperative relationship with you. Why did you suddenly turn your face and lead the army to conquer the small country?" day?"

"Do you still need a reason to beat you?"

When Beixiang Zhonghu heard this, his teeth chattered with anger. Hearing what this meant, Cheng Shijie was not going to lose face, and it would be difficult. A gentleman can bully him.No matter what reason Cheng Shijie put forward, he always had a way to refute it, but it would be difficult for Cheng Shijie to play a scoundrel directly.

Beixiang Zhonghu looked at the angry samurai warriors around him, and quickly realized that they should be safe and calm. Cheng Shijie made it clear that he didn't want to negotiate with them. In fact, if the Shimadzu family had the absolute upper hand, they wouldn't be here. Time to negotiate, if you want to negotiate, you need to wait until the war is over and you have won a complete victory before negotiating.

These days, when the warriors used force in front of Cheng Shijie, it just gave Cheng Shijie an excuse to explode. Whether he wants to endure it or not, he must endure it now.

"Your Excellency, General Cheng, please don't bully people too much! Although our national strength in Xiaotian is not as good as that of Daming, we are not easy to bully! Your Excellency, General Cheng, led the army to burn, kill and loot the country of Xiaotian for no reason. Is the world laughing at you!"

"Does it need to be so straightforward?"

"The villain doesn't understand what General Cheng means!"

"What I mean is very simple. You can row a canoe shamelessly to our Daming to burn, kill and loot. What face do I need? Let me tell you, I am shameless, do you understand?"

Beixiang Zhonghu's neck had thickened several times. If his eyes could kill, Cheng Shijie at this moment would have already become a sieve.

Seeing that Beixiang Zhonghu was about to die of anger, Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "If you want me to find a reason to beat you, I'll just find one. That...you sent troops to occupy it 26 years ago. You have entered the Ryukyu Kingdom, do you admit this?"

Beixiang Zhonghu's face turned from red to white, it's not good, it will be settled after Qiuhou!He irrationally said: "This happened more than 20 years ago, and Daming didn't say anything at that time!"

When Xiaotian invaded Ryukyu, two main things happened. First, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea and asked Ryukyu to provide 5000 troops for support.Since Japan's opponent in North Korea is China, and China is the suzerain of Ryukyu, they naturally could not agree to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's request, and only provided logistics materials for 7000 people.The second incident happened in 1603, that is, in the 31st year of Wanli, Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan, and Ryukyu did not send a mission to congratulate and express gratitude.

Ordinarily, Ryukyu did nothing wrong in these two things. They have no affiliation with Xiaotian. Of course, Ryukyu can ignore the war in Xiaotian. Xiaotian has changed his boss. Why should Liuqiu send someone to thank him, but Xiaotian doesn’t care. These.In 1609, that is, the 37th year of Wanli, Shimadzu Iehisa, the lord of the Satsuma domain, sent troops to attack Ryukyu with the permission of Tokugawa Ieyasu for the following reasons:
[-]. Ryukyu refused to send envoys to thank Xiaori; [-]. Ryukyu obstructed the trade between Xiaori and the Ming Dynasty;

As a result, the battle was fought, and the central ruling body of the Ryukyu Kingdom, from the royal family to all civil and military officials, was brought to Kagoshima by the Satsuma clan.The Satsuma Domain not only demanded tribute from Ryukyu, but also forcibly occupied the Amami Islands of Ryukyu.

Although Ryukyu has not been subjugated, it has actually become a puppet country at this time.

"I didn't say anything at the time because we were busy and couldn't take care of you! Now that I'm free, I naturally have to sort out the old mess, otherwise some people won't know who is the boss. Ryukyu is the fence of Ming Dynasty, you invaded Ryukyu just slaps Daming in the face, and the consequences are very serious, you know?"

Beixiang Zhonghu was sweating on his forehead. He didn't doubt Cheng Shijie's words. After all, Daming was quite good at being the boss. Back then, there were natural and man-made disasters in Daming, and the treasury was so empty that mice could starve to death. Without further ado, Daming sent troops directly to support North Korea.

Daming stretched his trouser belt and sent tens of thousands of troops, 15 in the early stage and 14 in the later stage. Xiaotian sent [-] troops for the first time, and [-] for the second time. The two sides fought for more than six years. Although this battle indirectly forced Jurchen The rise also led to the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate.

This war had a huge impact on the two countries, Kitago Zhonghu also knew that after the invasion of Ryukyu, Xiaotian did not get much benefit from Ryukyu, after all Ryukyu is too small.

"I know, I know! When the villain goes back, he must ask the governor to reflect on himself and send a big gift to Shangguo to make amends!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You want to send us away with a cheap gift? Do you think we are beggars?"

The sweat on Beixiang Zhonghu's forehead became denser: "Then what should we do to calm General Cheng and withdraw his troops?"

"You want us to withdraw our troops? Simple! First of all, you have to withdraw your troops from Ryukyu, and you can't keep a single soldier!"

"This is impossible!"

Cheng Shijie ignored Beixiang Zhonghu's objection, and continued: "After you withdraw your troops, you still have to compensate the Ryukyu Kingdom with 200 million taels of silver!"

"Why don't you go grab it!"

"I'm robbing! By the way, don't get excited, and there is a third rule. This time, the commander sent more than 1000 troops. You have to compensate the commander for the military expenses of sending troops. Just pay [-] million taels of silver and forget it!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "The last one, you have to pay half of the grain to Daming every year as compensation for provoking Daming... For the time being, these are the four. I haven't thought of the others yet, and I will let you know when I think of them."

Beixiang Zhonghu took a few breaths, and his whole body swelled up, so that Cheng Shijie was a little worried, this buddy wouldn't explode, right?Fortunately, although Beixiang Zhonghu was so angry that he was about to explode, it was not a human bomb after all, and it didn't explode.

Beixiang Zhonghu stared at Cheng Shijie, his voice was calm, but filled with endless anger and resentment: "Is this the condition of General Cheng?"

Cheng Shijie looked serious: "Yes."

Beixiang Zhonghu gritted his teeth and said, "The general is determined to eat our Satsuma clan, right?"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "No!"

Beixiang Zhonghu was overjoyed: "Your Excellency General Cheng means..."

"How can a small Satsuma clan satisfy my appetite!"

Beixiang Zhonghu let out a roar: "We cannot accept such conditions!"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "Then what's the point, go back and prepare for the battle!"

Beixiang Zhonghu glared at Cheng Shijie, and said, "Don't be complacent, the state has kamikaze body protection in the small days, and the bones of the Yuan Bandits in the Boduo Bay will be your fate!"

"Let's wait and see!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Beixiang Zhonghu's back, and said to Sun Kewang, "Kekang, you see, there is no sincerity in negotiating in Xiaotian!"

Sun Kewang refreshed his understanding of Cheng Shijie, and it was impossible for anyone to agree to the conditions proposed by Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie was also reminded by Beixiang Zhonghu that he remembered the Ryukyu clan captured by Xiaori. He hurriedly said: "Go to Luercheng and ask if the Ryukyu royal family is still there!"

"This... is in chaos, what if..."

"As long as there is someone from the Shang family!"

In fact, Cheng Shijie really didn't have any hope. You must know that the death camp is not a good thing, at least five heads can be free, and now they are far from reaching their goal.

At Tsushima Island, there were not even a young man captured, only more than [-] women and children were captured, and they were bought from Ning Haijun by Jin Zidian at a price of five taels of silver each.

However, the truth is so magical.

At dawn, Sun Kewang finally found the Ryukyu royal family among the captives, not only the Ryukyu king, but also the Ryukyu queen, the Ryukyu prince, two court ladies and an eunuch.

When these six people were brought in front of Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie did not see the shadow of the royal family and nobles from these people. They were well dressed, but all of them were skinny, especially the Ryukyu prince Shangxian, an 11-year-old child , so thin that the eyeballs protrude, somewhat like a frog.

As for the queen and the maid, the three together will not exceed 180 catties, which is not as heavy as Cheng Shijie alone.Until this time, Shang Gong, the eighth king of the Shang family, the second dynasty of Ryukyu, was brought before Cheng Shijie.

Shang Gong is the fourth son of Prince Shangjiu of the Great Jinwu (Shangjiu is the third son of King Shangyuan, the fifth king), and the father of King Shangxian and King Shangzhi.King Shang Ning had no children, so Shang Gong was adopted as his heir, and he succeeded to the throne in 1621, the first year of Tianqi.

Shang Gong seems to be still dreaming now. He has been captured by the Xiaori people for more than 20 years. He has been living in the Proton House in Luercheng, which was later renamed the Ryukyu Palace.To say that Huang Taiji's Shenyang palace is like a landlord's compound, but Shang Gong's mansion is not as good as the mansion Cheng Shijie bought in Dengzhou City for 800 taels of silver.

As the puppet king of Ryukyu, his provision is only equivalent to the tenth level of the eleventh level of the samurai in the small day, that is, the provision of the ashigaru head, with an annual salary of four stones.That is 480 catties of rice.

Emperor Chongzhen's thinness was caused by his own hunger and illness from overwork, while Shang Gong's thinness was caused by abuse in his childhood. If he was given 480 catties of rice, it would not be a big problem to eat enough, but the problem is, He can only hold forty-six percent, and he has learned how to float with Daming in his childhood.

"Thank you General Cheng!"

In terms of title, Shang Gong can be regarded as a feudal prince, while Cheng Shijie is just the Duke of Hai, which is quite inferior in rank, but Shang Gong dare not put on the airs of a prince in front of Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie watched Shang Gong's gaze fixed on the plate of dim sum next to Cheng Shijie, Shang Gong swallowed.

"Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet?"

"Use... no!"

Shang Gong's stomach growled unbearably.

"Come here, hurry up and prepare meals for the Ryukyu King!"

When the food was served, Shang Gong still looked like a man, he was not in a hurry to eat, but let his son eat first, then the queen, and finally it was his turn.

The whole family devoured food like refugees.

"Big guy!"

Cheng Shijie asked someone to invite the King of Ryukyu to the boat. After all, the barracks are not convenient and there is no way to specialize. After Cheng Shijie made arrangements, the scouts who were in charge of reconnaissance of Xiaotian's movements came to report: "Little days' reinforcements are here! "

"How many people are there?"

"Thirty to forty thousand people!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Kewang and said, "The Japanese pigs are different from the Tartars and Jiannu. They had the habit of bombarding the enemy with cannons a long time ago. This time they assembled an army of 30. There are at least [-] large and small cannons." Many doors, not to be underestimated!"

Sun Kewang asked puzzledly: "More than 30 cannons... too few!"

"Don't underestimate it. Xiaotian uses authentic Hongyi cannons. If you hit them, you will die! So when Xiaotian bombarded, you all stayed in the trenches honestly. Their cannons Let our artillerymen clear up their cannons, and when our artillerymen have almost cleaned up their cannons, you can jump out of the trenches and shoot the charging samurai with your crossbows!"

"understand!"

Cheng Shijie patted Sun Kewang on the shoulder and said: "Pay attention to controlling casualties. The fewer casualties, the better. I brought you to Xiaotian, not to send you to death. There are still many battles waiting for you to fight in the future!"

Sun Kewang said in disbelief: "The commander-in-chief regards us as his own?"

"Bullshit, if the commander-in-chief really treats you as cannon fodder, why should he arm you from head to toe? Wouldn't it be okay to give you a knife and a long gun?"

Cheng Shijie's words are very reasonable. Although the Death Battalion is called Death, in Sun Kewang's view, this level of equipment is much better than that of the Guan Ning Army, except for the regular army of the Ning Navy.If Sun Kewang is allowed to take the death battalion to fight Guan Ning's army, he has absolute confidence to beat Guan Ning's army into dogs.

"The commander-in-chief is absolutely right. In the end, he will judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Cheng Shijie said: "This battle still has to be fought. When we pacify Jiannu in the future, I will not seal the sword. We can continue to expand and occupy all the flat and fertile land. As for you, if you are interested If you don’t want to fight, we’ll go to India and do another job, and the land you’ve captured will belong to you!”

"India?"

Sun Kewang asked suspiciously, "What place is that?"

"It's the place where Tang Seng learned Buddhist scriptures. I can tell you that there are fertile plains there, and the climate conditions are also very good. The sunshine hours are long and the rainfall is abundant. As long as you are diligent enough, it is not a problem to grow rice for three seasons a year. You can cook it casually." There will be a good harvest."

"Is there really such a good place?"

Sun Kewang didn't quite understand. The people of Ming Dynasty's desire for land is beyond ordinary people's comprehension, and the quality of cultivated land in Daming is relatively poor. If there is a piece of land that allows them to plant three seasons of rice a year, and each season can get a bumper harvest, They must be going crazy.

The Ming Dynasty once gave up Liaodong. It was because of the weather in the Little Ice River. Cheng Shijie invested so much in Liaodong. If it wasn't for the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and if it wasn't for the support of strong industrial manufacturing capabilities, he would also lose money in Liaodong.

It's really like a normal climate. Jiannu wanted to occupy Liaodong, and the dog's brains were given to them. If it wasn't because Liaodong didn't have enough interests at the time... the result is hard to say.

Cheng Shijie's words were conveyed by Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu to all the soldiers of the death camp. Until now, these soldiers of the death camp believed that Cheng Shijie had not lied to them.They are full of hope for the future.

Soon, thunderous cheers erupted from the Ming army's position, especially the soldiers of the Death Battalion, they all beat their chests and stomped their feet impatiently, hoping that the Little Japanese Army would hurry over and fight fiercely, and cut off enough heads for ransom. Back to freedom, Ning Haijun wanted to follow Cheng Shijie to expand the territory!
"Brother Liu, there are six levels of beheading, right?"

"Level seven!"

"It's enough to commute the sentence, next... Brother Liu, can you let Brother Rang!"

"Let... how can you say such insane words!"

"Our brothers..."

"Brothers can't do it, we are now enjoying the treatment of Ning Haijun in the death camp, chop off the head of a dwarf, and reward ten acres of land, my old lady is still waiting for me to earn money to marry a wife!"

"Who says it's not? If you want a head, cut it with your ability!"

Under the guidance of the officers and men of the Ning Navy, the soldiers of the Death Battalion began to dig trenches seriously. At the same time, the sailors of the Ning Navy Navy also removed the rocket launchers that were relatively easy to disassemble from the battleship and sent them to the front of the position. There are a large number of three-inch naval guns and four-inch naval guns.

The range of the rocket launcher is short. Compared with the Hongyi cannon, it is at a disadvantage in range. If you want to win the small days, you need naval guns. The rocket launchers, driven by the Ning navy officers and soldiers, slowly came to the front of the battle. Begin to arrange artillery positions one by one.

The Ming army can't wait for the Xiaori army to come over quickly to take the head, but they still have to wait, because the Xiaori army still has some things to deal with.

The thing that needs to be dealt with is to determine the ownership of the command.The [-] army, belonging to dozens of famous names, has many factions, and there is a hatred between the three rivers and the four seas, and there are piles of conflicts. It is just that they are temporarily united under the pressure of the Ming army, but no one Not willing to let his old enemy overwhelm him, this command power, everyone wants it.

As long as you are not an idiot, you know that if you can win this battle, it will be worth much more than the previous "joint battles" at the level of village chiefs or county chiefs, at most high-ranking officials. As a commander, you will definitely overwhelm Oda Nobunaga A group of talented people like Toyotomi Hidetomi will be recorded in the annals of Xiaori forever. Who wouldn't want such an opportunity?

But the problem is, there is only one position of commander, and everyone wants it, so what should we do?

I can only quarrel, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa said that the battlefield is on my territory, and I will not let the position of commander in chief be waived!

Mao Li Yuanhui said that you should save yourself, the site has been broken up by others, how dare you want command power?let me!
Yukio Hosokawa of the Kumamoto clan excitedly said let me come, with the Kumamoto army of my Hosokawa family as the main force,
Guaranteed to chop all the Ming army into meat sauce!Fukuoka said that you all go to play...

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the old woman is right, and no one agrees with the other, and there will be quarrels.

If they are allowed to quarrel with each other, it will take years of monkeys and horses and months?
Cheng Shijie said, add fire to them and make them quarrel more intensely.

As a result, more than 160 three-inch naval guns, more than 80 four-inch naval guns, and more than 260 rocket launchers of the Ning Navy fired artillery shells at the Xiaori camp about two miles away from the front of the Ming army.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the shells landed on Xiaotian's camp, Xiaotian finally stopped arguing, and even quarreled, and if the quarreling continued, there would be no need to fight this battle.

As a result, Xiaotian's army came up with a solution that was not a solution, and the soldiers were divided into nine groups, each of which made a surprise attack.
