    Setting foot on the land of Japan Island, a strange feeling enveloped everyone. Even if Liaodong was once recovered, the land once belonged to China after all. As for Japan Island, it was only a vassal state at most and had never been classified as a formal territory.  ¡Æ, As soon as the first foot landed on the ground, almost every soldier swore that he would definitely swallow this land.  Ming Ruxin even laughed heartily: "When the prince was in Liujiagang, he said that the navy would conquer the vast territory and open up land for hundreds of millions of people in China. With the first step, there will be the second step. The sun and the moon will shine  Below, it¡¯s all Chinese territory!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Dan also said with a smile: ¡°Although I am old, I can still hold on. Japan is just a side dish, and Nanyang is the real fat place.  , In a few years, the fleet will be able to go south, and all the places that Zheng He's fleet passed will belong to us. "As expected of the pirate leader, he is indeed greedy.  Subsequently, the Ming army quickly rushed up and established a landing site on the beach. Some small boats went between the large ships and the landing site, and all the general supplies were delivered to the land.  While everyone was busy working, Zhang Haichuan was not idle. He held up his binoculars and carefully observed Tsurumaru Castle not far away, watching every move of the Japanese pirates.  "The fighting power of the Japanese pirates is not worth mentioning, but they are extremely stubborn and are not people who give up easily. I tell my brothers to strengthen their equipment and don't be careless." Boom!  Zhang Haichuan was talking when suddenly there was a huge cannon blast, followed by shouts of death, and a large black shadow poured out from the south of Tsurumaru Castle.  There are about three to four thousand people, and those running at the front are all holding Japanese swords, wearing armor, howling and screaming, like a group of apes, light and flexible, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye.  Already within a hundred steps.  Shimazu Tadahashi had already calculated it. The Ming army's artillery alone was not something they could compete with. Therefore, Shimazu reluctantly gave up Tsurumaru Castle and retreated outside the city with his samurai and the most elite men to seek opportunities.  When they waited for the Ming army to land, Shimazu gradually smiled as they moved more and more supplies.  In the decisive battle on the beach, the Ming army's artillery can't attack its own people. The Ming army whose foothold is not stable is the best target.  He handed over the task of charging to Kaguyama Hisaka.  "As a samurai, the time has come to wash away the shame. Kayama-kun, defeat the Ming army, and the military fortune will be long-lasting!" "The martial arts fortune will be long-lasting!" Kayama Jiugao shouted with all his strength. He drew his katana. Since the expedition to Ryukyu, he has captured the prisoners.  After becoming a member of the Ryukyu royal family, he never really participated in a battle again.  "Come on, let's fight to the death." The warriors of Satsuma Domain were gearing up and finally waited for the best time to attack.  They held their shining katana aloft.  Rushing towards the Ming army, the two sides were getting closer and closer, and they could clearly see each other's expressions.  The Ming army just stared calmly, like taut sculptures.  Waiting for activation.  "Shoot!" The order was finally given, and the sound of gunshots shook the sky and the earth, and a storm of bullets was fired at the Japanese pirates.  Screams rang out, and the Japanese pirates rushing in front seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer.  The body was hit and flew backwards.  With wounds the size of fists, blood and pieces of flesh bulged out, and each one fell to the ground in pain.  Rolling back and forth, it was painful.  The warriors of the Japanese country have been trained since childhood. Kendo, judo, and bushido are all killing machines trained with great pains.  On the battlefield of Japan, they are all elites who can match ten, and they are the backbone of the Satsuma Domain.  Opposite them were just a group of ordinary soldiers who had only been trained for two or three years at most. Some of them had just put down their hoes for a year.  The gap between the two sides is so huge, but the result on the battlefield is another story.  The hardened veterans fell in pieces, while the new recruits remained unharmed.  Load the gunpowder calmly and shoot the deadly bullets.  Killing the enemy has become the simplest mechanical movement. They can only calmly execute the instructions and watch the ferocious Tatars continue to die. There is nothing easier than this!  I think that when the Qi Jiajun faced thousands of Japanese pirates, they once achieved a record of no casualties, but now the Ming army is just repeating the original scene.  Shimazu Tadahashi knew that this battle was a matter of life and death. He led his men and ran to the top of the mound. Seeing his men being brutally slaughtered, his heart contracted harder and harder, and streams of blood were sent to his brain.  Tadashi Shimazu almost went crazy.  "Idiot, use muskets, use firearms!" Hundreds of musketeers emerged from the Japanese pirates. They formed a neat formation and pressed towards the Ming army.  Their speed was not fast, they just advanced slowly, making the Ming army stunned.  Even if you want to die, there is no way to die. Do you really think that?The army's firecrackers are fire sticks!  Soon Ming Ruxin figured out that the Japanese's queue was still far behind. Once the speed was too fast, they could not line up neatly. Without a neat queue, how could they compete with the Ming army's firearms.  Seeing through his opponent, Ming Ruxin sneered. The Japanese pirates' ability to use firearms was far different from that of the Yizhou soldiers.  "Fire!" The gunshots kept ringing, and a row of Japanese pirates were killed. The people behind them immediately added more. They were not afraid of death. Even if the ground was full of corpses of their companions, they did not hesitate to add more.  Getting closer and closer, the Japanese pirates' firearms were finally able to be obtained.  Suppressing his excitement, the commanding samurai raised his sword high and was about to shoot at the Ming army.  "Throw!" At this moment, a group of grenadiers rushed out from the Ming army and threw grenades at the Japanese pirates.  A series of loud noises, thick smoke and flames engulfed all the Japanese pirates.  When the wind blew over, there were only corpses left on the battlefield. The Japanese pirates staggered here and there, wailing in pain even if they were not dead. Even those who were not injured were completely frightened, and they retreated frequently.  "Shoot!" Gunshots rang out again, and the frightened Japanese pirates fell down in pieces. They had no time to escape and were enveloped in a heavy rain of bullets.  Huashan Jiugao was wearing two layers of armor. Suddenly one of the oncoming bullets hit his shoulder, as if he was hit by a mountain. The bones were shattered, the muscles were broken, and one arm suddenly flew into the air. The blood was like running water.  gush out.  Speaking of which, he was quite unlucky. One of his ears was cut off by Zhang Haichuan, and another arm was lost. What's the point of living like this? He might as well be dead.  By chance, a bullet fulfilled his wish at this time, his head was blown open, and the red brains inside flew all over the sky.  Huashan Jiugao fell heavily to the ground.  The remaining Japanese pirates no longer had the courage to resist, so they turned around and ran away.  "And the Ming army followed and killed them, fighting for twenty miles all the way. There were corpses of Japanese pirates along the way.  Perhaps unwilling to be massacred one-sidedly, some Japanese pirates went crazy and rushed towards the Ming army.  Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one.  It is a pity that 99% of the Japanese pirates died due to the strict cooperation of the Ming army and were stabbed into sieves with bayonets.  The battle lasted for a day, and the Ming army successfully occupied Tsurumaru Castle.  This city specially built by the Shimazu family turned out to be the first stronghold of the Ming army embedded in the Japanese country.  The war in the city was still raging. Under the protection of soldiers, Zhang Haichuan entered the Shimadzu family's house.  "But that's it. If you compare it to the Ming Dynasty, it is at the level of a middle-class family." Li Dan chuckled: "My lord, what kind of big buildings do you expect the Japanese country to build? They are small and have a small structure, just like this one.  Big men have to keep their heads down, otherwise they will hit their heads. " After occupying Tsurumaru City, Zhang Haichuan made a surprising discovery. It turned out that there were many merchants from the Ming Dynasty in Japan. In fact, it sounds good to say merchants, but to put it bluntly, they are just seamen.  Thief, Li Dan was one of them back then.  After understanding, it was found that these merchants were not living a good life. The Japanese State exploited them in every possible way, and also planned to expel them to the island to fend for themselves, while their wealth would be handed over to the local lords.  The businessmen were in panic all day long and tried every means to bribe the Japanese pirates in order to keep their family property.  But they never expected that the Ming army would come and kill them, and they were overjoyed.  The same goes for Zhang Haichuan. When he attacks Japan, what he needs most is a helper who is familiar with geography and can be relied on.  These businessmen immediately became the guides of the Ming army. With their help, the Ming army became unstoppable and unstoppable.  In the next three days, the Ming army carried out a massive raid and sent all the Japanese soldiers who resisted to hell. The entire Satsuma Domain fell into the hands of the Ming army.  On the night of the third day, under the guidance of two businessmen, the Ming army forced Shimazu Tadahashi to a mountain col. After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the Satsuma lord became the first valuable prisoner of the Ming army.  (To be continued)
