The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 693
Many people in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty only heard the rumors of the "God of War", and some were skeptical.

This time, after finally seeing this iron army that has never committed any crimes, I realized that being famous is not as good as meeting.

Later, the Eighth Route Army began to expand like a snowball.

Because there are many ordinary people who are determined to help the old and the young to follow the "God of War" army, and the propaganda team walks, writes, draws, and speaks all the way.

The slogans and pictures left behind are widely advertised the many benefits of Nanming, how beautiful life is in "Nanming", and also seriously warn the bandits and the officers and soldiers to restrain themselves, and the "God of War" will not let a scum who wantonly kills people be spared.

Every passing city gate left an Anmin notice and arrest warrant issued by Nanwang. The most important criminal to be arrested by Huaying Graphics is of course the murderous demon Zhang Xianzhong.

"God of War" offered a pair of trousers for capturing Zhang Xianzhong, and a pair of straw sandals for beheading Zhang Xianzhong.

The portraits on the arrest warrants of the Huang family system are definitely not abstract paintings, but the works of several painters. They were familiar with Zhang Xianzhong's rogue captives and oral features, and then asked them to confirm after the painting was completed, and finally printed it out and posted it everywhere.

Now the "God of War" people are happily talking about catching Zhang Xianzhong and changing them into new pants.

At the end of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Sheng personally led more than [-] troops to Xuzhou City in South Zhili. He led the personal troops to Nanjing City by boat from Haizhou Port before New Year's Eve.

The King of Nan issued an order to let the soldiers under his command rest for five days to celebrate the New Year with the people in the garrison, and to ensure that all the displaced people could receive one catty of sugar, two catties of meat, and three catties of white flour.

The poor people of Daming who were lucky enough to meet the "God of War" will not have a hard New Year. During the New Year's Eve dinner, the sound of chanting Buddha in thanksgiving was endless, and Nan Wang received too many blessings.

The propaganda team and the military crew will naturally create a festive atmosphere, and the parties, song competitions, and big plays will make the soldiers and civilians happy.

The competitive sports "rugby" game will be competed in each battalion. After three to five years of development and improvement, the "rugby" sport has formulated the rules of the game.

Instead of scrambling for each other with grinning heads, it is a real leather-sewn oval "rugby" for competition and training.

Every Qianzong has its own team, and they are secretly competing with each other. Every soldier cares about winning or losing the game, because the sense of honor of winning is the pursuit of every soldier.

Warriors with helmets and full-body protection compete for each other on the court. It is naturally entertaining and appreciative. Such masculine competitive sports are loved by everyone.

Queen Chuer, Princess Hexiang, Zhao Rui, and Gu Linger all brought their children to Nanjing to reunite with their husbands. Civil and military officials from all over the world also came in droves. For a time, Nanjing, the southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty, almost became the temporary capital of the "Southern Ming Dynasty". .

None of the guarding eunuchs of Southern Zhili and the officials of the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty were frightened. On the contrary, they were all happy to connect with the "Nanming" civil and military.

They discovered that many "Southern Ming" civil servants were actually officials of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the little scholar ministers of the Ming Dynasty are now the magistrates of Qipin County, and those who are better off are already the prefects of the sixth rank.

Both the civil and military of the Ming Dynasty know the classic quotation of Nan Wang, "Da Ming and 'Nan Ming' are not separated from each other, but the bones are broken and the tendons are connected." Moreover, Huang Sheng explained the truth of this statement with his practical actions of treating the people of Ming Dynasty kindly.

Now Emperor Ming has recognized the Kingdom of "Nanming" as a country of brothers and recognized the rule of King Nan.

Now that the king of the fraternal country has come to Nanjing, of course everyone must receive him well.Therefore, the entire city of Nanjing is full of joy and harmony, and the festive atmosphere of this New Year is the most festive in decades.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Shimin came from "Huaxia Island" and sent Wang Ruhai, who was already a sixth-rank civil servant. He has been in charge of intelligence collection in the Manchu and Korean areas, and he was also in charge of contacting Li Guozhu on Hirado Island.

Of course, Wang Ruhai came to see the Patriarch because he had an important military situation and needed to ask for instructions. It was not that there was an emergency in "Huaxia Island", but a crisis broke out in the Wa Kingdom.

The Catholic Church first arrived in Japan decades ago, and the place of landing was Kagoshima.Catholicism and Christianity have been in Kyushu Island for many years, and the speed of spread is astonishing. The believers are widespread and deeply rooted.

The reason why the churches in Kagoshima area are so popular is mainly because of its remote location, the Tokugawa shogunate regime is not easy to control, and the land here is barren, the harvest is not abundant, and the lord's tax is heavy, and the lord's suppression method is too cruel and so on.

In the face of many believers, the shogunate's approach was simple and rude, just one word "kill". In this way, more than [-] believers died unexpectedly, and the seeds of hatred were sprouting.

It is also due to the impact of the harsh climate of the Little Ice River that natural disasters have occurred continuously in the Shimabara and Amakusa areas of the Wa country in recent years, and the people are in dire straits.

Under the brutal rule of the Japanese shogunate, the largest peasant uprising in the Edo period, the "Shimabara Rebellion", finally broke out.

At the end of the tenth year of Chongzhen, an extraordinary person appeared in the Wa country. He was Shiro Shizhen, the 17-year-old son of Masuda Yoshiji, a samurai from the Konishi family on Amakusa Island.

Thousands of believers in suffering gathered around him, forming a powerful force.

There are two direct triggers of the "Shimabara Rebellion": one is that the Shimabara farmer and Sanyouemon failed to pay the "year tribute", and their pregnant daughter-in-law was arrested and put in a water prison naked, where she gave birth. The next child, adults and children are all dead.

The other is that Shimabara believers farmer Kazozo and Sanji crossed the sea to Amakusa Shimojima to visit Amakusa Tokisada. They were granted monk qualifications because of their piety.

After returning to Shimabara, under the preaching of these two local monks, more and more people returned to the sect. The terrified lord sent his warriors to secretly kill the two and their family members of nearly twenty people.

Under the tyranny, the believers were forced to be more united, and they began to resolutely resist.

Amakusa and Shimabara supported each other and supported each other, and the Christian army suddenly increased to more than 3.

The Christian army fought several beautiful battles, and the leaders of the shogunate officers and soldiers died in battle, and their abdomen was cut open.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu had nothing to do, he decided to send a general to lead various foreign armies to wipe out Amakusa Tokisada's rebel team.

Now the Japanese shogunate army has approached the Hara Castle in the southern part of the Shimabara Peninsula where Amakusa Tokisada's main force is defending. If the Christian army does not receive support, it will definitely be wiped out by the shogunate army.

Li Guozhu was looking forward to the war in Japan, he was fishing in troubled waters, and at this time he had sent troops to support Yuancheng, so he quickly sent people to "Huaxia Island" to ask Zhao Shimin to send troops.

Zhao Shimin knew that his mentor's strategic thinking was to spare no effort to weaken the Japanese country's strength, so he didn't know how to take advantage of the golden opportunity, and he had already arranged for the navy to patrol "Huaxia Island" and "Dongyang County" to assist.

This time Wang Ruhai came to see the patriarch to ask for instructions to what extent the "Shimabara Rebellion" in the Wa country should be used next, and what strategic goals our army should achieve.
