"The Tatars are about to die, but they still dare to cross the sea in ** months. They are ignorant and fearless! Forget it, let Amaterasu take them in!"
"What your Excellency the General said is exactly what the Mongolian cavalry was so brave in the past. They fought in all directions without losing a single defeat. However, an army of 100,000 was wiped out in Japan. Liu was so proud! The arrogant and arrogant people will perish! The book says, many deeds are unjust. He will kill himself, let’s see him buried in Jiuzhou!”
Kyushu, Nagasaki.
The place of worship is Wan Sang Zhai.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was short and stocky, wore a pair of red and black Nanman trousers and sat on the tatami.
The short body looks majestic against the backdrop of exquisite armor.
The armor worn by the shogun was modified from a pair of Dutch armor.
It is said that during the Sekigahara War, his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu once wore this armor and defeated the Toyotomi clan and conquered the world. It can be said to be a Tokugawa family heirloom.
Passed down to Iemitsu's generation, the armor is still intact and of high quality.
"The divine wind will swamp the entire Tatar fleet, just like it did four hundred years ago! When the wind subsides, our army will immediately march into North Korea. The Liu bandits will suffer heavy casualties and their morale will be low. But it can be decided in one battle!"
Baba Toshige, who was sitting opposite, echoed:
"The Kyushu army is moving northward one after another. The Choshu and Hizen clans are on standby at the western end of Honshu and can cross the sea to provide assistance at any time."
Tokugawa Iemitsu clapped his hands and laughed.
The Qi army encountered a typhoon and must have suffered heavy casualties. According to his speculation, Liu Zhaosun estimated that he only had at most 20,000 troops left, or even less than 10,000 like the Mongols.
"God bless Yamato, Liu Zhaosun must die!"
Two hundred thousand versus ten thousand, no matter what, I will win this time.
Tokugawa Iemitsu raised the sake and slammed it on the ground. The glazed cherry blossom cup shattered into pieces on the floor.
The retainers and warriors in Wansangzhai couldn't help but step back and looked timidly at the shogun.
"The Tatars ravaged Tsushima Island, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They set fire to houses everywhere. The governor of the family, Soyoshi Nari, was killed in the battle. The Iki Island guard, Hirado Matsukasa Saburo, was also killed. The reinforcements of the Nabeshima clan We were repulsed before we even arrived..."
In the 20th year of Keicho (1615), Mune Yoshitomo died, and the position of family governor was inherited by his eldest son Soyoshi Nari, who became the second generation lord of Tsushima Fuchu Domain.
After Tokugawa Iemitsu said worriedly, he rested for a moment, and Hattori Hanzo stepped forward to finish the attack and said: "General, I have some bad news to tell you."
Tokugawa Iemitsu said disapprovingly: "Just tell me."
"The grain and grass that the vassals hoarded on Tsushima for the conquest of China were robbed by the Tatars."
The Shogun clapped his arms and stood up, angrily saying, "Didn't I ask Soyoshi to burn the grain and grass?"
Hattori Hanzo said uneasily: "The Tatars raided Tsushima Island, and the family governor had no time to burn the food, so he was surrounded in Kinshi Castle..."
Nagasaki saw Tokugawa Iemitsu's gloomy face, so he comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, General. You can ask each feudal lord to raise more food and grass. As the saying goes, you must give what you want first, and let them rob those who are about to die. The Mongols also robbed a lot of goods on Tsushima Island back then. , and in the end they are not allowed to return the principal to us with interest!”
"Master Puji of Entōji Temple in Mount Suribachi has prayed to the gods. The divine wind has arrived. The leading Tatar troops have been blown off course by the strong wind and failed to reach Hakata Port. When the Tatars arrive later, there will still be strong winds waiting for them. The general just needs to stay in Nagasaki and wait for the good news to come!"...No one has any doubts about the magic power of Master Yuantong Temple.
It's just that after the Tatars captured Tsushima Island, they went on a killing spree. I don't know how many people were killed, and I don't know if Master Puci and his brothers escaped.
After all, Puci is still a blind monk.
Under the blue cassock, Master Chun Shen, who was like a mountain spirit, coughed twice. Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at the enlightened monk.
Chun Shen clasped his hands together and said loudly:
"Amitabha! How good! Master Puci was my teacher's most proud disciple during his lifetime. Although he is now blind, he has profound magical power and has the power to seize souls... He practices at Yuantong Temple on Mount Suribachi. After many years, you should know how to cope with it.”
Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded to the host Shiranosaki.
"It's just right that I am my fellow disciple, and his attainments are better than mine."
The shogun was a little displeased and turned to look at Nagasaki, as if he were a red-eyed gambler.
"It is impossible to increase the grain supply. Each domain has exhausted its financial resources. If we cannot win this battle, the Tokugawa family's position in Edo will no longer be preserved. Therefore, please continue to work hard."
Baba Toshige quickly knelt down and worshiped.
"Don't worry, general, the Manila reinforcements have already set off. According to the shogunate's instructions, the British will reinforce four thousand to five thousand people to assist Japan in blocking the Tatar food route."
Tokugawa Iemitsu raised another glass of sake, took a sip, and asked Hattori Hanzo: "Have you contacted the White Lotus Sect in Shandong?"
Hanzo said calmly: "Back to General, not only the White Lotus Sect, but also the canal canal work has been arranged, completely in accordance with your plan..."
The shogun put down his wine glass, looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Korea on three occasions and exhausted all the people's power in the world. Revolts broke out all over China, so the Sui Kingdom fell violently. Now, Liu Zhaosun is going to follow Yang Jian's old path."
Nagasaki was unaware of the White Lotus Sect, and his face was full of surprise.
"So, has Hanzo found Yang Xuangan who rebelled against the Sui Dynasty?"
Hattori Hanzo sneered and said: "General, don't worry, there are not a few people in Tatar who resist Liu thief. They are just forced by Liu thief's power and dare not take action. I have made arrangements. When the Tatar Kyushu is defeated, it will be the end of the Tatar Qi." day."
Tokugawa Iemitsu was overjoyed and felt heroic.
Over the years, the number of people who have been slaughtered and maimed by Liu thieves in various countries has been not only eight hundred but also a thousand. Now, this evil thief is finally going to die in his own hands. It is impossible not to be excited.
The shogun stood up and raised his drink, and suddenly he seemed to be possessed by Ieyasu and arrived at the battlefield of Sekigahara.
He drank it all in one gulp.
"With the protection of Amaterasu and the brave warriors of each domain using their lives, the Liu bandits will be defeated. I will remain as motionless as a mountain and sit in Nagasaki waiting for the destruction of the Tatars."
The host of Shishihuoshan toasted and congratulated: "Shogunate, the Tatars will be destroyed for thousands of years. I just hope that after the war, Liu Zhaosun can be handed over to me and I will deal with it."
Hattori Hanzo and several samurai looked at Master Chun Shen.
Tokugawa Iemitsu asked curiously: "I wonder how the Master wants to deal with Liu Thief?"
Host Chun Shen said word by word: "Tear out the heart and liver, throw it into the sea, sacrifice to my god, and let its soul be trapped in the darkness of the sea forever."
Before he finished speaking, a samurai under Hattori Hanzo hurriedly opened the door, panting and bowing to everyone: "General, my lords, the Tatars raided Hakata Port last night, dropped fireballs from mid-air, fired cannons from outside the city, and the city was on fire. There were tens of thousands of heavy casualties, and in less than a day, nearly a thousand of the five thousand defenders were killed. The feudal lord, Kuroda Sonoyuki-sama, was unable to retreat in time and was trapped in the city."

The burning of Hakata Port was strongly carried out by the Supreme Emperor against all opinions.
Hakata Port has convenient transportation and is a fairly prosperous town. It would be a pity to burn it down.
After learning about the fire attack strategy, officials from the chamber of commerce and civil affairs were all horrified. They wrote letters one after another to advise the emperor, hoping to preserve the port. Even from a military perspective, a complete Hakata Port is better than a damaged one. What follows? When attacking Honshu and Shikoku Island, Hakata is undoubtedly an excellent supply station.
Although there were many reasons to save Hakata Port, the Emperor still chose to attack with fire.
It was probably the Li Mei Barbeque in later generations that gave the Supreme Emperor some inspiration.
The Battle of Hakata was the first battle to land on the Japanese mainland.
Since this is the first battle, we must fight with great authority and make the Japanese pirates frightened.
Therefore, against all the opinions of the Supreme Emperor, a new weapon such as incendiary bombs was put on the agenda and became the primary weapon to attack Hakata Port.
When talking about barbecue, you have to mention Li Mei Barbecue.
It is said that this thing killed and burned hundreds of thousands of Japanese during World War II and was a more efficient killing weapon than the atomic bomb.
Napalm was invented in 1942 by Harvard chemist Louis Fieser.
It is made by mixing naphthenic acid and palmitic acid with gasoline. It has strong water absorption and can form a stable and viscous fuel. With the addition of phosphorus, magnesium, aluminum particles and other metal combustion substances, the temperature can reach 1,000-2,000. °c····
With Daqi's current industrial capabilities, it is currently impossible to manufacture napalm bombs, and it cannot even extract serial alkanoic acid.
Therefore, we can only settle for the next best thing and choose a relatively simple incendiary bomb to entertain the Japanese pirates.
Use charcoal or coal, try to use anthracite, grind the charcoal or coal into powder, then find some sawdust, preferably pine or fir sawdust, use a sieve to remove the coarseness and set aside.
Then use animal oils with high freezing points such as natural rubber, natural rosin, and butter, and glycerin as the igniting agent, and then put the above things in the cartridge case in a certain proportion.
When everything is ready, chop the rosin into pieces and stir-fry it. After melting, pour the carbon powder and sawdust into the pot and stir-fry evenly. Then stop the fire, immediately pour in glycerin, stir evenly, and pour it into a mold to cool and form.
In this way, a simple solidifying incendiary bomb was created.
In order to achieve a full barbecue effect, the hot air balloons carried a total of 3,000 incendiary bombs into the air.
Thousands of sparks fell like raindrops on the land ruled by the evil god.
Liu Zhaosun called it the Doomsday Judgment. .
