There are many islands in the Japanese country, and the daimyo's forces are also intertwined.
However, overall, the country can be roughly divided into four large islands, or eight places.
Among them, the southernmost one is Chikushi Island.
It is also called Kyushu place by local people.
The northern part of Chikushijima Island is mainly mountainous.
Fortunately, the mountains are relatively gentle, forming many basins and plains.
But the terrain in the south is high and steep, with mountains crisscrossing it.
Moreover, the coastline of Chikushishima is winding.
It is surrounded by bays, islands, and peninsulas.
In other words, Tsukushi Island is not a big place, but the terrain is extremely complex.
This makes it difficult for the army to advance forward.
But precisely because of this terrain, the main towns on Chikushi Island are located in the coastal area.
Therefore, Donghai County only needs to attack around the island along the coastline.
It can swallow most of Chikushi Island.
The plan formulated by Donghai County is to first occupy the ports on the west coast.
This blocked the connection between Zhuji Island and the Japanese army going to Goryeo.
In this way, the retreat of the main force of the Japanese country can be cut off first, and it can also be used as a stronghold.
At that time, along the coastline, the entire Chikushi Island can be swallowed up.
Therefore, after the Donghai County fleet arrived, the troops divided into two groups.
Led by Mengzi, we continued northward to the northwest port of Hakata.
The other way is that Feng Yibo personally takes charge and attacks Shenjiangpu in front of him.
Of these two ports, one faces Goryeo across the sea, and the other faces the Wei Dynasty.
As long as these two places are occupied, the strait between Chikushi Island and Goryeo can be blocked.
The reason why Feng Yibo gave up Kagoshima in the south and chose to attack the west side first.
In addition to confidence in naval warfare, Japan was also expected to be empty.
At this time, the main force of Japan was in Goryeo.
There are only a few ships in a big port like Shenjiangpo in front of us.
Donghai County dared to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, but it was not afraid of being cut off by others.
It's because it's on the East China Sea.
When it comes to naval battles, no one is the opponent of the East China Sea Fleet!
That's why he dared to bypass the south and divide his troops to attack.
After occupying Hakata and Fukaeura.
Mengzi will lead the fleet east, and Feng Yibo will lead the fleet south.
Both sides are along the coastline, all the way encircling Zhuzi Island.
Finally, they will meet at Fuuchi Castle on the east coast of Chikushi Island.
After occupying the entire territory of Chikushi Island, they will rest in Fuuchi Castle for a few days.
If there is no news about the main force of the Japanese country, Donghai County will continue to march eastward to Yinyu Island.
That is, among the local population, the Shikoku region.
If the main force of Japan returns, the East China Sea fleet will regroup.
Leave them at sea.
"... Shenjiangpu used to be the territory of the Changqi family, so the locals also call this place Changqi. We, the people of the Wei Dynasty, are mainly in Hirado in the north, and there are not many people here."
The speaker's name is Xue, and he is from a branch of the Xue family in Jinling.
He is one of Donghai County's important informants in Japan.
When the Japanese state sent troops to attack Goryeo, it was he who sent a message there.
This time he was asked to come here, mainly responsible for explaining the topography of the Japanese country and the situation of the various forces.
Temporarily recruited as one of the marching staff members of the Black Dragon Army.
Xue Yan still didn't know the identity of Feng Yibo Black Dragon King at this time.
But the rest of his identity is enough to make him obey orders honestly.
The identity of the aunt of the Xue family, the identity of the holder of the jade pendant of the head of the Xue family.
There is also the status of an imperial envoy who was ordered to support the festival and conquer the Japanese country.
Any one of these identities can command the Xue family's overseas power.
What's more, if there is no uncle Feng Yibo.
The Xue family will not regain its glory.
The Black Dragon King of Donghai County will not give the Xue family so much convenience.
"What a surprise! This is a great place, we are at the right place."
When Feng Yibo heard this familiar name, he smiled inexplicably.
Everyone heard him say something like "fatty".
Before I could understand, I heard him give instructions to those around me:
"Zilla, let's start!"
Hearing this, the artillery battalion commander Zhuzi smiled and said excitedly:
"Okay! Take a look, uncle!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said to the messenger:
"Raise the flag!"
The messenger immediately responded and ran towards the stern of the ship.
Within a moment, two flags were hoisted on the flagship.
On one side is a cannon flag with red stripes on a black background, and a green flag underneath.
This is the semaphore of the Black Dragon Fleet.
Needless to say, the artillery flag is the signal to fire.
Green flags are a kind of letter flags, used to express directions.
There are five kinds of faith flags, namely green, red, white, black and yellow.
Represents the five directions of east, south, west, north and center.
Therefore, it is also called the "Five Square Flags".
There is a green flag under the gun banner, which is to fire towards the east of the flagship.
"How dare you call this huge place Kyushu?"
Feng Yibo looked at Shenjiangpu Port from a distance and couldn't help but smile scornfully, and said to the people around him:
"When we take over this place, Zhuzi Island will be renamed Fatty Island!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
I couldn't help but be confused by his ability to name names, but no one dared to refute it.
Especially Xue Qu, after hearing the name Fatty Island.
He looked at this uncle with some surprise.
Didn't you say that my uncle was the third most beautiful girl in the lottery?
How do you choose a name that looks like a child's nickname in the countryside?
But then I thought about it, wasn’t the Japanese country a barren land?
This uncle must have done this on purpose!
right! definitely is!
Only Zhuzi and Feng Yibo were familiar with each other, so he asked doubtfully:
"Sir, why is it Fatty? Can't we call it Zhuzi Island?"
Hearing this, Feng Yibo smiled and said:
"Because Fatty and Changqi are best friends,"
When everyone heard this, they all looked astonished.
Only the pillars were a bit disappointing.
They all thought that these were two people Feng Yibo knew.
So when I hear "Changqi", I think of its good friend "Fat Man".
Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of "boom boom boom" was like thunder.
rang out one after another on the sea.
Several temporary army staff officers, including Xue Qu, were shocked.
I thought the climate had changed.
But when I looked up at the sky, it was clear.
When they looked at Shenjiangpo Port again, everyone was dumbfounded.
I didn't even notice that my saliva was drooling.
It was like seeing some miracle.
Under a salvo of artillery fire, the only defensive force at Shenjiangpo collapsed instantly.
In the port, the few ships parked at the port are hit.
In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere, and then slowly sank.
If a house on the shore is hit, it will instantly become a big hole.
If it is not made of wood, it will collapse directly.
If the people on the shore were hit, they would immediately be shattered.
Cannonballs that hit people will continue to bounce.
Even if it's just a light wipe, it's inevitable that you'll be missing arms and legs.
How have the samurai in the port seen such justice from heaven?
Upon seeing this, they immediately ran away, fearing that they would be taken away by the gods if they ran away too late.
After a round of shelling, Donghai County's warships sailed directly into the port.
When the Black Dragon Army occupied the port, Feng Yibo also stepped off the flagship.
"This landing plan went really smoothly!"
Looking at the devastated port, he couldn't help but sigh.
After speaking, he looked at a few temporary army staff officers.
Seeing their trembling looks, Feng Yibo deliberately frightened them and said:
"This matter must be kept secret from Donghai County, otherwise the cannonball may fall on someone's head!"
Most of these people were from maritime business backgrounds, so they were naturally frightened when they saw the power of the cannonballs.
I am afraid that one day my fleet will be attacked like this.
"understand!"
"I swear to my ancestors that I won't tell anyone what I saw today!"
"Yes, yes! If it leaks from me, I will strike with thunder!"
Seeing several people praying and swearing repeatedly, Feng Yibo smiled, waved his hand, and ordered:
"Next, we are going to attack the town. You send a fast ship to Goryeo to inquire about the situation. Keep an eye on the main force of the Japanese country and report back if there is any movement."
After hearing this, several people naturally rushed to make arrangements.
Now that time was running out, after only taking a short break, Feng Yibo told his side again:
"Assemble the army and set off!"
The Japanese state at this time had actually just been unified.
In order to alleviate internal conflicts, the shogunate forcibly recruited daimyo from various places to send troops.
Therefore, most of the warriors of the Japanese country went with the army to conquer Goryeo.
Especially the daimyo of Chikushi Island, which is closest to Goryeo.
Therefore, it also became a bridgehead for the attack.
Not only must we provide troops, but we must also provide good logistics.
All ships were also sent out.
After Feng Yibo occupied the port, he quickly organized his army.
Go straight to the nearest daimyo station.
Zhuzi Island is not a big place, but it has seven famous names.
Fukaepo belongs to the Arima family.
But when the army went to attack the city, it basically took no effort.
There is no way, the city here is really not worth mentioning.
There are so many cities in Japan, which sounds quite intimidating.
But in fact, it is not the city we are familiar with.
The city of Wei Dynasty, even if it is a county town.
It is also the economic, political and cultural center of a certain region.
The city is high and the pool is deep, protected by city walls.
There are countless people living in the city.
The city of Japan was at the level of a cottage.
At most it's a castle.
What they called a castle was only a military stronghold and a residence for the daimyo and his retainers.
It does not include the houses of nearby people.
The castle town outside the city was the activity area for Japanese people.
It is roughly equivalent to the outer city or even the suburbs of Wei Dynasty.
As you can imagine, 10,000 regular troops suddenly appeared.
Shocked by the name of Japan.
What's more, the Black Dragon Army also has the weapon of gunpowder.
Naturally, such a broken city can be broken easily.
The Black Dragon Army first held up their shields to prevent the crossbows on the city from firing.
After arriving at the city gate, there was no rush to light a fire.
Instead, they dug a bunker first, and then dug a hole under the city gate and sent gunpowder in.
Everything was ready, and the Black Dragon Army skillfully lit the fuse.
Afterwards, everyone got into the bunker they had dug before, holding up their shields and waiting for the explosion.
With a "bang", a big hole was opened in the city gate.
Such a scene is really terrifying!
Most of the Japanese warriors and archers defending the city were frightened by such a sudden explosion.
Many people even regarded this as a miracle and knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
Most of the Black Dragon Army took this opportunity to form a mandarin duck formation.
Just rush in and start a street fight.
To be precise, they started a unilateral killing.
Seeing that the situation was over, the head of the Arima family raised the white flag in despair.
When Feng Yibo saw this, he sneered and ordered:
"Anyone wearing armor or holding a weapon will be killed without mercy!"
If he wants to rule here, he must try to eliminate any resistance that may exist.
Let alone trained warriors, even civilians who dare to resist cannot stay.
You won't be soft just because the other party surrenders.
Soon, all the armored retainers and warriors were wiped out.
The head of the Arima family was lucky enough to survive, and was taken to the port as a prisoner.
Feng Yibo ordered people to open the Arima family's warehouse and collect food on the spot.
After moving everything away, a thousand troops were left in the port.
Then he took the fleet and used the same method.
The Matsuura family in the north was wiped out easily.
Hirado, where the Matsuura family is located, has many merchants from the Wei Dynasty stationed here.
When these people saw the Wei army approaching, they immediately transformed into a leading party.
Not only did they organize manpower to help attack the city, they also captured all the retainers of the Matsuura family who had fled.
It seems that they intend to take over this place after the Black Dragon Army retreats.
Feng Yibo laughed at this but didn't care.
If Donghai County successfully captures this place, these people will have to abide by his rules in the future.
If he gives up here, these people are no match for the Japanese regular army.
Therefore, let them fiddle with it for now.
Time is running out, and Feng Yibo must occupy the entire Zhuzi Island as soon as possible.
After capturing the territory of two daimyo in succession, the Black Dragon Army, to the surprise of the Japanese civilians, did not loot and kill wantonly.
This made the Japanese people a little unbelievable.
Even if it is a war between daimyo, they must be plundered.
Could this be the heavenly soldiers of Wei Dynasty?
Is it really so benevolent?
In fact, this was Feng Yibo's strict order not to attack unarmed civilians.
Because in his opinion, these are scarce human resources.
Whether they are sent for mining or kept for farming, it is much better than killing them directly.
If we talk about revenge, just killing all the samurai and retainers is enough.
Therefore, he not only did not allow wanton killing, but also allowed the remaining troops to maintain order.
To prevent someone from taking the opportunity to smash and loot.
The Black Dragon Army returned to the ship and rested for another night.
Feng Yibo took the fleet and headed south.
In the next few days, several coastal ports and fortresses belonging to the Xiangliang and Shimazu families were captured one after another.
He also occupied several islands in the south.
Kagoshima, south of Chikushijima Island, is the territory of the Shimadzu family.
After this trip, the newly occupied territory was officially connected to the Xiaoliuqiu island chain.
The logistics fleet also sailed to the Kagoshima area to shorten the supply line.
After Feng Yibo captured Gongqi City in the east, he led his army along the coastline and rushed to the agreed position.
Once they arrived at Fu Nei City, they discovered that Mengzi had already breached the city.
I waited here for several hours.
In any case, the two sides met victoriously in Fu Nei City.
This means that the entire coastal area of Chikushi Island has been captured by Donghai County.
As for the few remaining towns in the interior.
Only some troops can be left, and it can be easily done soon.
The two sides rested here for a day and prepared to head towards Yinyu Island across the sea the next day.
But at this moment, Feng Yibo received news from Xue Clipper.
The main force of the Japanese army suffered a defeat in Goryeo and showed signs of retreat.
Feng Yibo didn't have any worries when he heard the news.
Instead, he smiled slightly and said happily:
"It seems that the border troops in Liaodong are not vegetarians either."
After saying that, he stood up and said to Mengzi:
"Let's go, just take care of them first!"
