Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 733 Tokugawa Iemitsu's retreat

Emperor Mingzheng did not ask again, but lowered his head, looking at the books on the table.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu came to Ezo Island, he brought some books.On weekdays, if Emperor Meisho was bored, he could just use it to kill time.

In this area, there are almost 2 soldiers under Tokugawa Iemitsu, and there are more than 1000 samurai loyal to him.

In this area, the original Ainu people were enslaved by Tokugawa Iemitsu and cultivated fields for Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The Japanese people's attitude towards the Ainu people is contemptuous and contemptuous from the bottom of their hearts.

These Ainu people don't even have a simple regime, and they are not opponents of Tokugawa Iemitsu at all, so they can only be enslaved by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu came to the simple palace.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood in the hall and bowed respectfully to Emperor Meizheng who was sitting on the main seat.

Although Emperor Meizheng is his niece, he is also the emperor.The emperor has no rights, he is just a puppet, but the face that should be given must be given.

Emperor Mingzheng looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu who was bowing to him, and hurriedly said: "Get up quickly!"

Iemitsu Tokugawa thanked him, and took advantage of the situation to stand up.

"General, sit down quickly." Emperor Mingzheng pointed to the chairs on both sides of the hall, and said to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat on a chair next to the hall.

After Tokugawa Iemitsu sat down, Emperor Mingzheng asked, "I don't know why the General came to me?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask His Majesty the Emperor, how has it been recently? Is there any discomfort?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked casually.

Emperor Mingzheng shook his head, "It's all good, there's nothing uncomfortable about it."

Emperor Mingzheng was a submissive person. Although the person in front of him was her uncle, he was also a shogun, so even if there was any discomfort, Emperor Mingzheng could only say that everything was comfortable.

"That's good, that's good!" Tokugawa Iemitsu let out a long breath and said slowly.

"I came to the Emperor today to tell the Emperor one thing, that is, the Emperor will be able to move to Edo in a short time. The hard life here will not last for a few more days!"

When Emperor Mingzheng heard this, his eyes were full of light.

Although her face was well hidden, her eyes were full of longing.

Obviously, Emperor Mingzheng could not bear this kind of life either.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stayed here for a while, then withdrew.

Tokugawa Iemitsu who went out did not go back to the house immediately, but walked around outside with a few followers.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't want to go back at all, and the small house made Tokugawa Iemitsu feel aggrieved.

Tokugawa Iemitsu brought his entourage to a hill not far from here. This hill is the commanding height of Tokugawa Iemitsu's residence, and Tokugawa Iemitsu also built a watchtower on it.

Tokugawa Iemitsu boarded the five-story observation tower and looked into the distance.

"I don't know how long I can stay here?" Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a dull expression on his face.

Following Tokugawa Iemitsu's gaze to the south, on the south coast of Ezo Island, soldiers brought by Tokugawa Iemitsu were stationed.

On the southeasternmost coastline of Ezo Island, more than 3000 soldiers are stationed.

These more than 3000 soldiers spread across the [-]-kilometer coastline.

The leader who commanded these three thousand soldiers was Abe Tadaaki, Tokugawa Iemitsu's most trusted general.

There is a small castle with a circumference of one kilometer on the southeast coastline. This castle is the garrison of Tadaaki Abe.

Abe Tadaaki led five samurai and more than 30 soldiers to patrol the coastline.

Because there is no war for the time being, Abe Tadaaki did not wear armor, but a very ordinary coat.

"We have been here for such a long time, and we don't know when we will be able to counterattack. Those people are too powerful, and their weapons are so powerful." Abe Tadaaki stopped, stood on a rock, and looked ahead. On the surface of the sea, he said with a look of fear.

At the beginning, Abe Zhongqiu led some samurai and soldiers to fight against the soldiers sent by Hong Chengchou.

Unfortunately, the result was miserable. As soon as they touched each other, Tadaaki Abe's team collapsed.

Abe Tadaaki has a unit of "Iron Cannon" (the Japanese called firecrackers iron cannons), but the iron cannon units in his hands are like waste, useless.

"My lord, those people came from Ming Dynasty. I don't know what enmity we have with them. Why did they do this? Why did they deal with us? Back then, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who attacked North Korea. But, Toyotomi Hideyoshi They have been dead for decades, and later, we also blocked the coastline and never provoked Daming again, I don't understand why they want to deal with us." A warrior said with a puzzled expression.

Abe Tadaaki turned around, looked at the samurai, and said bitterly: "Who knows why, besides, although these people came from Daming, they are not from the Ming court.

I heard before that these people are rebels, it seems that they rebelled against Ming Dynasty. I heard that the rebels are the most powerful generals in Ming Dynasty. "

Abe Zhongqiu murmured that during the time of resisting each other with Hong Chengchou, Abe Zhongqiu also figured out some things, but not in detail.

"King Matsuda, after tomorrow, you will lead some people to check our defense area." Abe Tadaaki said to the samurai who was questioning.

Matsuda nodded, "Follow your lord's order!"

After Abe Tadaaki finished speaking, he continued to wander around with the staff behind him.

The sun in the sky is gradually setting to the west, and the hottest day is over.

Abe Tadaaki returned to the city under the setting sun, and just as he arrived outside the station, several small boats suddenly appeared on the sea outside the station.

Abe Tadaaki looked at the boat that suddenly appeared, and his heart suddenly sank.

"What's going on? Why did ships suddenly appear?" Abe Tadaaki hurriedly led his people to the beach, staring intently at the small boats.

The Tokugawa family still had some warships in their hands before, but they lost almost all of them afterwards, leaving only a small number of warships.

In the recent period of time, Abe Tadaaki has not sent ships outside, so when Abe Tadaaki saw a ship suddenly appearing on the sea, he suddenly became vigilant.

"It is impossible for ships to appear on the sea for no reason. These ships are probably those people's ships!" Abe Tadaaki said solemnly.

"What should we do? What should we do now?" Matsuda Jing asked eagerly.

Matsuda Jing had also seen how powerful Hong Chengchou's soldiers were. Now when he saw these ships, what he had experienced before suddenly came to his mind.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's take a look first!" Abe Tadaaki stood on the coast, staring intently at the ships on the sea ahead.

These ships are neither sailing battleships nor blessing ships, nor are they treasure ships.

These ships are the bird boats used by Hong Chengchou to spy on the enemy. The bird boats are small in size but fast.

These small boats stopped one kilometer from the coastline.

On the deck of a bird ship, a soldier in iron armor stood there, holding a telescope in his hand, looking towards Tadaki Abe.

These soldiers were sent by Hong Chengchou, because they were far away from Xuanzhen, so when Zhao Wen changed his clothes, these people did not put on the new military uniforms.

"Half a mile ahead, close to the coastline!" The soldier holding the binoculars put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around, and shouted at the sailors behind: "Brothers, tell them we are coming!"

As the soldier said, he unloaded the Wuliu Chong from his back.

The bird boat headed towards the coastline, and when it reached half a mile away, the soldier raised the five-six in his hand and pulled the trigger at Tadaaki Abe.

"Da da da!"

The muzzle of the gun was blazing, and the bullets flew towards Tadaaki Abe with a whistling sound.

But because the distance was too far, coupled with the sea wind and the turbulence of the bird boat, the bullet disappeared halfway through.

The bullet did not hit Tadaki Abe and the others, but the sound of the gunfire frightened them a lot.

After Abe Tadaaki heard the gunshot, his face turned pale, and he turned and ran away.Where does he look like a general now?

When Edo was defeated, many of Tadaaki Abe's subordinates were killed by Wuliu Chong. The Wuliu Chong left a deep impression on him.

Abe Tadaaki ran to the station without looking back.

"Haha, a group of cowards, brothers, return!" The soldier's wild laughter echoed on the sea.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was still several days away from Ezo Island, and the distance from Edo Castle to Ezo Island was not close, and he would not be able to pass it for a while.

At this time, Hong Chengchou stood on the deck of the treasure ship, looking at the sea quietly.

"In another four days, we will reach Ezo Island. This time, I will take you all down!" Hong Chengchou's eyes were full of confidence, and he slapped the side of the boat in front of him fiercely with his right hand.

……

Almost two days later, the person sent by Tadaaki Abe to send a message to Tokugawa Iemitsu finally arrived at Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was sitting in his dilapidated thatched hut, holding the military report sent by Tadaaki Abe in his hand.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was reading the military newspaper, slapped the table in front of him hard.

"Too much bullying, too much bullying!" Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was contorted, he gritted his teeth, and cursed fiercely, "It's just too much bullying!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu tore the military newspaper in his hand into pieces, and threw the pieces on the ground fiercely.

Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that he was still not relieved, so he stretched out his right foot and stepped on the piece of paper fiercely.

"These Ming people are really hateful, this is hateful. I have already run to such a place where the birds don't want to shit. They still don't want to let me go, and they don't want to let me go. Is this trying to drive us to death? Want to drive us to death Is it?" Tokugawa Iemitsu cursed viciously.

Cursing and cursing, Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly went limp and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Sweat dripped from Tokugawa Iemitsu's body, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's face turned pale in an instant.

The retainers who were kneeling and sitting opposite Tokugawa Iemitsu hurried to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"Patriarch, don't worry about it."

"Patriarch, what happened? Don't be so angry, Patriarch!"

The caring voices of these retainers kept echoing in the room, Tokugawa Iemitsu panted heavily, his face gradually improved.

After a long time, Tokugawa Iemitsu took a deep breath and said with a slightly trembling voice: "The gang of gangsters are here again, they want to attack us, they don't want to let us go, they don't want to let us go! !!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu finished speaking, slapped his thigh, and sighed, "Why? Why did you treat me like this, why is this!!!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu felt very aggrieved. He who used to rule the Wa country well, now he has become like this, a bereaved dog.

"what?"

"How could this be?"

"Where are they now? What shall we do now?"

"What to do, what to do, what should we do now?"

The retainers in the room panicked for a moment.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face completely darkened.

"Shut up all of you, shut up all of you!" Tokugawa Iemitsu was already extremely flustered in his heart, and now these retainers kept nagging in his ears, which made him even more upset.

"Snapped!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and yelled loudly, "You all must, shut up now. What are you panicking about? Haven't they attacked yet? They haven't attacked yet , why are you panicking? What are you panicking about?"

The retainers in the room all shut their mouths when they saw the furious Tokugawa Iemitsu.

After a long time, Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "Nobuna Matsudaira, how many people do we still have?"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira estimated in his mind for a while, and said: "There are more than 2 people, among them, there are about 5 Ainu people in our hands."

Tokugawa Iemitsu began to think about it.

"It wouldn't be too bad if there were 5 Ainu people." Tokugawa Iemitsu grumbled, and said hastily: "These [-] Ainu people will be dispatched to the south to supplement Abe Tadaaki's manpower. Replenish these Ainu people before those people arrive.

After replenishing these Ainu people, we packed up our things and headed north.At the same time, let the warships left on the southern coastline go north, and let Abe Tadaaki and the others retreat.

After we went to the northern coastline, we left here by boat.

In the past, I heard that some Ming people went eastward and reached a continent.

If this is the case, then we will flee to that continent.We can't stay here any longer. If we stay here, we won't be able to survive. "Tokugawa Iemitsu's mind was running fast, thinking about the way out.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's purpose is very simple, that is to use these people as cannon fodder to stop Hong Chengchou's footsteps.

From Tokugawa Iemitsu's point of view, he would definitely not be able to stop Hong Chengchou's footsteps. Instead of doing this, he might as well run away ahead of time.

Tokugawa Iemitsu simply didn't have the courage to break the boat.
