Wanli 1592

Chapter 180
Facing the deathless head of Nine Ghosts Jialong, a group of people were either overly frightened or turned pale. The entire combat conference room had no function of commanding combat at all.

At the same moment, Xiao Ruxun greeted Chen Lin, the commander of the navy who had returned triumphantly, on land, and celebrated this hearty victory for him.

"Chen Zongbing, at the age of [-], went out to fight vigorously. He raised [-] troops to fight Tsushima Island. In World War II, Pusan ​​Port wiped out the Japanese pirate navy and greatly increased the prestige of our army. The governor has never liked drinking, but this cup Wine, the governor wants to respect Chen Zongbing, the general is not old!"

"The general is not old!"

All the generals of the Ming army toasted together to celebrate Chen Lin's hearty victory. Chen Lin's face was full of smiles, his ravine face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit, almost unable to open his eyes. Yes, there are still muddy tears pouring out of it.

"Being able to accomplish this feat at the age of sixty and wipe out the Japanese pirate navy, the veteran is satisfied."

Chen Lin raised his glass, raised his head and drank up the glass of wine, and the generals of the Ming army drank up the glass of wine together with Xiao Ruxun.

"The veteran would also like to thank the admiral. If the admiral hadn't implemented reforms and greatly improved the equipment of our navy, it would have been impossible for our navy to defeat the Japanese pirates so easily. Admiral, this battle, the veteran understands and thinks clearly Well, the future water battles will really be dominated by large ships and cannons. If there are no large ships and cannons, my navy will surely follow in the footsteps of the Japanese pirates, and all of them will be buried in the belly of the bottom of the sea. Old bones, the veteran will never refuse!"

Chen Lin slapped his chest, full of arrogance, Luo Shangzhi behind him couldn't help shouting "Okay", and all the generals of the Ming army also shouted "Okay".

At this moment, it seems that all the disputes of spirit, region, and prejudice have disappeared without a trace. The generals enjoyed the joy of the moment to the fullest, and sang a hymn for their upcoming glorious victory.

The Port of Busan was completely blocked, and both ends of the sea and land were firmly blocked by the Ming army. The [-] Japanese soldiers and more than [-] civilians were firmly blocked in the narrow area in the middle, and they could not move, relying on the solid Japanese city. Recalcitrant, but can not see a little bit of possible hope.

Moreover, with the fall of the port and the destruction of the navy, Wacheng, which is not far from the ocean, was also under fire from the Ming army. There is Wacheng, where the Japanese army headquarters is located.

For this reason, in order to avoid overwhelming artillery attacks, Ukita Hideka and others had to leave the original headquarters and move to Wajo Castle, which will not be attacked by land or sea, and an emergency meeting was held at the same time.

After a period of confusion, they forcibly calmed down, and someone suggested moving the only artillery to the top of the city to counterattack the Ming army fleet that was firing shells unscrupulously on the sea. Ukita Hideka and Ishida Mitsunari agreed.

Five precious cannons were approved for use. At the beginning, they really hit a Ming army warship, which made the Ming army a little unresponsive. But before they cheered, they were bombarded by overwhelming retaliatory shooting. .

The quality and quantity of the artillery of the Ming army surpassed that of the Japanese army. They fired at long distances. The Japanese pirates could not even get out of the city. Shelling wounded or deafened.

Being in such a depressive environment for a long time will also have great psychological damage to the soldiers. In just three days, soldiers rioted in several Japanese cities. They wanted to open the city gates and fight the Ming army. A group of people tried to open the city gates and surrender to the Ming army. These riots were undoubtedly suppressed, but this also sounded the alarm for Ukita Hideka and the others.

Time is running out. Whether it is the food reserves or the endurance of the soldiers, they are almost reaching their limits. If there is no turning point, they will completely lose their fighting ability and become a piece of fat on the lips of the Ming army. Now, it is still a little Prick your mouth.

Ukita Hideka doesn't know whether he still has the reason and necessity to persevere. His only vague hope is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is far away in Japan, can hear his prayer and come to rescue him with a powerful fleet.

Xiao Ruxun doesn't care about these things, let alone listen to Ukita Hideo's family begging for mercy.

After destroying the Japanese pirate navy in Tsushima and Busan, the entire sea area was invincible. He replenished Chen Lin's fleet with gunpowder and shells, and then gave them a very surprising mission-to cross the sea and attack the Japanese mainland.

Japan is an island country, and it is very close to Tsushima Island. From Tsushima Island to the Japanese mainland, it takes about less than a day. It takes four or five hours by sea and land. You can arrive in the afternoon if you set off in the morning, and there is still time for the first wave. attack.

So Xiao Ruxun asked Chen Lin to separate part of the fleet to stay in Busan Port to continue to block the sea, and asked Chen Lin to bring the main force of the navy to join Deng Zilong's troops to attack the Japanese mainland, in order to plunge the Japanese mainland into further chaos.

Almost at the same moment when the Japanese pirate navy in Busan Port was annihilated, Jinyiwei’s informant came back. Jinyiwei’s internal eyeliner has learned that some Japanese local forces are plotting to overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s regime and replace it, and these forces are still very powerful. , the situation in Nagoya is quite delicate, almost on the verge of breaking out.

News about the defeat of the Japanese army spread in Nagoya.

The reason why chaos has not yet broken out is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and this group of rebels are testing each other, and no one dares to make the first move. The main reason is that the people would rather believe Toyotomi Hideyoshi than the news of failure. This prompted the rebel daimyo forces to dare not take the lead in attacking Toyotomi Hideyoshi, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi seemed to be in internal chaos while guarding against the Dongguo daimyos.

The Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi who often ostentatiously has not appeared in the public eye for several days, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's scheduled successor, appeared in Nagoya and began to coordinate the overall situation, which made people start to wonder. Is it possible that Chen Hideyoshi has a physical problem and is unable to do things.

No one can answer this question because no one knows.

Of course they didn't know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a serious problem with his mental state, and even killed three servants for this, and then he was fainted and bedridden, unable to deal with government affairs. The loyalty of Toyotomi's regime is great. The old Maeda Toshiie had no choice but to recruit Toyotomi Hideji from Osaka Castle to preside over the overall situation.

Of course, Toyotomi Hideji is not a hero like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and has strong abilities, but as a successor, Toyotomi Hideji is a good master of success, especially with a relatively complete administrative team, that is, His own retainer group has formed his own power, all of which means that if Toyotomi Hideyoshi is willing, he can smoothly take over the power after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death and achieve a smooth transition of power.

Note that it is if.
