Smuggling Daming

Chapter 487 Destruction of the Hojo Clan

The Izu country in the southwest of Edo Bay is the sphere of influence of Hojo Soun. Hojo Soun is not well-known in the history of the Japanese Warring States Period, but his son is the famous Hojo Utsuna.Now Hojo Soun has entered his twilight years, but Hojo Uzuna is just 30 years old. If according to the original history, Hojo Soun would pass the position of governor of the house to his son Hojo Uzuna, and then Hojo Uzuna would carry the Hojo clan forward. It even occupied the entire Kanto region in one fell swoop.

However, after the Ming army occupied Edo Bay, the expansion process of the Hojo Clan was completely interrupted. First, the Ming Dynasty occupied Musashi and Sagami, blocking the outward expansion of the Hojo Clan, and then the Ming Dynasty’s navy began. Izu frequently travels to and from the waters near Edo Bay. Unfortunately, Izu happens to be on this route. Sometimes there will be some ships from the Ming Dynasty coming to anchor. Although these ships from the Ming Dynasty have brought a lot of new things to Izu, but It also caused a lot of friction.

Originally, this was also a normal thing. After all, the customs and habits of Daming and Wa are different, and some problems will inevitably arise during the transaction process. As long as the two parties mediate and spend some time running in, these problems will always be resolved.But it’s a pity that the Ming people have always been strong at sea, especially the Ming’s navy is very defensive, so whenever there is friction, no matter whether it is justified or not, Daming will ask the Hojo clan to protect the interests of the Ming people, otherwise Daming will use cannons to protect itself Interests.

For Daming's outrageous behavior, the Hojo father and son could bear it at first, but what happened every time, which made them both feel greatly insulted, so for the honor of their family, but also for the future Being oppressed by Daming, Hojo Uzuna took advantage of Hojo Soun's illness to lead the army to rise up against Daming, and even made slogans to expel the Daming people from the Wa kingdom.

But it's a pity that although Hojo Ujitsuna can be regarded as a hero of the Wa Kingdom, he is still a little young after all, and he is a little impulsive in his actions.His reckless opposition to Daming this time is actually equivalent to pronouncing his own death. After all, under absolute power, any strategy is useless.

Hojo Ujitsuna's army was first defeated in Sagami by the Japanese servant army led by Li Anliang who stayed in Edo Bay.Then the Ming navy in Edo Bay also began to dispatch, frequently attacking the coastal areas of Izu country. As a result, in just two months, most of Izu country was captured by the Ming army, and the coastal areas were completely lost. The Hojo clan was also beaten to death, and the whole of Izu was completely engulfed by the flames of war.

Hojo Soun was already in his 80s, and his health was not as good as when he was young. As a result, when he heard that his son took advantage of his illness to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, he almost died of anger.Later, the Hojo Clan was defeated, and the foundation he had accumulated through his hard work was about to be completely destroyed by the Ming army. As a result, Hojo Soun didn't come up and died directly on the bed. This was his order better.The demise of the Hojo clan was not seen.

In March of the 12th year of Masanori, the [-] servants led by Li Anliang landed from the east and west of the Izu Peninsula, and then attacked in both directions. Finally, they converged at the base of the Hojo clan's old nest, Banditsan Castle, and surrounded the entire Banditsan Castle. Hojo Ujizuna and the last of his army are trapped in this city.

Bandit Mountain Castle was the lair that Hojo Soun started preparing for when he first conquered Izu Country.They were able to fight from Izu to Sagami, all thanks to the support of Bandityama Castle. It can be said that this city is not only tall and strong, but also stores a large amount of food and supplies in the city. More than a year.

But for the generals of Ming Dynasty.There is no unbreakable city in this world, everything depends on whether the amount of gunpowder in your hand is enough?Li Anliang sits in the Edo Bay of the Wa Kingdom. Although there is not much use here, it will be the bridgehead for Da Ming to enter America in the future, so Da Ming also attaches great importance to this place.Not only is a large number of troops stationed, but various military supplies are also abundant, and gunpowder is the most important of them.

It is precisely because of this that half a month after Li Anliang besieged Bandit Mountain City, he had someone dig a tunnel from the ground leading to the bottom of the city wall, and then stuffed gunpowder and detonated it. As a result, the solid city wall of Bandit Mountain City was shaken. A large section collapsed. After all, the strength of the city wall is relative. The city wall was already very strong for the Japanese, but it was completely vulnerable to the Ming people who were the best at building cities in the world.

The bandit mountain city was broken, and the Japanese servants under Li Anliang howled like beasts one by one, and rushed towards the gap in the city wall without fear of death. Even though they were hit by several arrows, none of these servants retreated. Even if they were to climb, they had to climb into Bandit Mountain City before they died, because the rewards for the servant army were different. The pensions for those who died outside the city and those who died inside the city during the siege were completely two levels, so every time the siege At the time, the more seriously injured the person, the more ferocious the charge. After all, their parents and wives still live in Edo Castle, and if they want to live happily there, they need to use their lives to fight for it.

Standing at the back, Li Anliang looked at the group of extremely brave Japanese servants under his command, with a hint of satisfaction on the corner of his mouth. For this servant army, he had devoted a lot of effort, and all the servants chose those who had Japanese men in the family, and then move their families to live in Edo City. In this way, the worries of the soldiers of the servant army can be solved, and at the same time, the loyalty of these soldiers can be maintained. After all, except for a very small number of people, it is impossible for ordinary people to completely Rebelled against his own family.

In addition, after the formation of the servant army, Li Anliang has been leading this army to fight in the east and west of the country. In fact, some wars are meaningless at all, but Li Anliang wants to form a strong army, and Zhou Zhong only gave For a few years, training alone is definitely not enough, so he can only use battles instead of training, and use wars to polish an army into an elite division that can fight hundreds of battles.

Li Anliang is now looking at the servant army in front of him. Although their equipment is only the standard equipment of the Ming army, which is not the best in the Ming army, he has polished the soul of the entire army. The army is now like a murderous sharp sword, as long as the sword is drawn, there will be blood, any enemy blocking their way will be crushed by this army, and no matter who the enemy is, as long as the commander in chief orders If the order is issued, they will turn into inhuman beasts, even if the enemy is women and children, they will also be merciless.

As the bandit mountain wall collapsed, the first to rush in was an elite servant army. After they entered the city through the gap, they immediately stood on the spot and waited until the army from the rear rushed in, and then began to attack the city. advance.After several years of fighting for these servants, most of the first batch of servants have been eliminated, but after the weak are eliminated, stronger ones will be added immediately. The soldiers in the army have always been brave and fearless.

In contrast, Hojo Ujizuna has suffered successive defeats during this period, and the morale of the army has dropped to the bottom. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the high-morale servant army of Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, they were able to resist the servants relying on their familiarity with the terrain. However, as more and more servants rushed into the city, coupled with the fearless fighting style of these servants, the Hojo clan's army retreated and defeated, and finally formed a trend of collapse. The family house of the Hojo clan was also breached. Under the defeat of the Hojo clan, he finally committed suicide and died. Before he died, he set a fire and burned down the entire Hojo clan's inner house.

After the servant army completely wiped out the remaining forces of the Hojo Clan in Bandit Mountain City, Li Anliang led a group of Ming generals into the city, but they did not enter through the main entrance, but blasted from the city wall. The gap was entered, because Li Anliang wanted to see the attack route of the servant army with his own eyes, so as to find out the shortcomings of the army's attack, so as to facilitate the next improvement.

At this time, the bandit mountain city hadn't come to clean it up yet, and there were dead soldiers all over the place. Among them were soldiers from the servant army, but more were soldiers from the Hojo clan. These dead soldiers had strange postures, missing heads and arms It is even more common, internal organs and blood are everywhere, coupled with the sulfur smell of gunpowder, making the smell in Bandit Mountain City very strange, making people want to vomit.

However, Li Anliang has long been used to this smell on the battlefield, especially after the victory. Not only does he not find this smell unpleasant, but he also enjoys it very much. Sometimes he even thinks, if this smell How charming would it be if it didn't appear in the Wa country, but in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty?

Intoxicated by the joy of victory, Li Anliang walked very slowly in Bandit Mountain City. When he came to the house of the Hojo clan, he found that the proportion of the corpses of the servants here had increased significantly. Obviously they encountered stubborn resistance here. That's why so many servants died in battle, and many of them died with each other in their arms. In addition, the soldiers of the Hojo clan who died in battle were obviously much better equipped. Presumably these soldiers should be the most elite soldiers of the Hojo clan. At the same time, it is also their most powerful resistance.

"All the soldiers who died in battle here will be promoted to an extra level, and the compensation will be increased by [-]%!" Li Anliang looked at the corpses of the servants on the ground, and ordered the officer behind him without turning his head.In order to enhance the competitiveness within the servant army, all the servants are divided into ten levels. If you want to upgrade the level, you can only pass through the military exploits, and after the soldiers of each level die in battle, the pensions they get are also very different, so the servants Everyone wants to raise their level, so naturally everyone is fighting for the first place on the battlefield.
