Chapter 632 Yan Butcher!
"Enemy attack?"
Although Yan Yi, as the guard of Shijian Silver Mine, shouldered the responsibility of guarding the silver mine, he never thought that anyone would dare to attack Shijian Silver Mine.
Therefore, when the gong sound on the tower sounded, Yan Yi was stunned for a moment and felt that he was hearing hallucinations.
Yan Yi didn't react until the adjutant reminded him again and again.
"Enemy attack!"
"Call everyone together!"
When the gong sounded from the tower, the soldiers in the barracks woke up each other. When Yan Yi's military order was passed to the barracks, all the soldiers had already dressed up and came out to stand in line with their firecrackers.
"The first battalion and the second battalion are on the east side of the city wall, the third battalion and the fourth battalion are on the west side, and the rest follow me to the gate!"
"General, the soldiers of the third battalion have been poisoned, only a dozen of them can move..."
"Damn!"
"The remaining members of the third battalion stayed behind to take care of the poisoned people, while the fourth battalion alone guarded the west wall..."
"promise!"
Amid the sound of the promise, the guards of the Iwami Silver Mine allocated defense areas according to the military order, and moved towards their respective defense areas.
Yan Yi led two battalions of soldiers. Before they reached the gate, they saw people dressed as Japanese samurai climbing up from the top of the city.
Seeing this, Yan Yi raised his firecracker and shot at the opponent, knocking him down from the top of the wall!
"accelerate!"
"Be sure to get in position before the enemy climbs up to the top of the wall!"
"promise!"
Although Yan Yi and the others were already very fast, they were still in a very passive position due to their mental calculations or unintentional calculations.
From the very beginning, the battle of defending the city has reached the stage of defending the city wall.
Fortunately, Daming's side had sufficient firepower, and with all the firecrackers, short cannons and other weapons, they finally wiped out the enemies on the top of the city wall and successfully regained the initiative on the city wall.
Then, relying on the advantage of the city wall, they shot or fired towards the bottom, barely repelling the first wave of the enemy's attack.
Under the city, Yoshihiro Ouchi looked at the Ming garrison who were advancing and retreating well on the city, and for the first time he felt the pressure from the heavenly kingdom.
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are indeed invincible!"
"In such a passive situation, they actually held the front line so quickly and regained the initiative little by little..."
"We will lose this battle..."
When the soldier next to Ouchi Yoshihiro heard this, he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Guard Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"
"Let's fight and retreat, the most important thing is to preserve our strength!"
"Roms!"
Ouchi Yoshihiro is a very realistic person. Seeing that he could not take down the Iwami Silver Mine with such full preparations, he gave up this unrealistic fantasy and thought about how to preserve his strength and prepare for the situation after this war. .
Yoshimi Masahiro also realized that something was wrong, his side obviously had a huge advantage, and the city was almost captured, why was it taken back by the Ming army?
"Your Majesty, are we sure we haven't leaked the news?"
"Lord Yoshimi, how smooth our start was. The Ming army went into battle in a hurry. There is absolutely no chance that the news will be leaked!"
"Ugh!"
Yoshimi Masayori let out a long sigh after hearing this.
"God bless me!"
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are so well-trained, we have no hope of getting back the Iwami Silver Mine in this lifetime!"
"Mingjin withdraws troops!"
After a long time, Lai Tong heard the words and hurriedly persuaded him.
"My lord, let's fight again!"
Yoshimi Masahiro shook his head and said.
"No more fights!"
"The soldiers of my Jijian family not only want to fight for the Iwami silver mine, but also guard the territory of our Jijian family!"
"Once we lose too many soldiers in this battle, there is no need for Da Ming to retaliate, other daimyos and guardians can destroy us!"
"Ugh……"
After a long time, I Laitong heard Jijian Zhenglai say this, so I couldn't persuade him anymore.
"Since your lord said so, let's withdraw our troops quickly..."
After Ji Jianzhenglai withdrew his troops, the other two families also withdrew their troops and fled the battlefield in a hurry.
On the top of the city, the soldier in charge of overlooking the battlefield shouted happily.
"General Yan, the enemy has withdrawn!"
"Shall we pursue it?"
Yan Yi took out the binoculars and looked outside, and saw scattered torches retreating along the mountain road. Just by looking at the formation, he knew that they were really retreating, but the formation was not scattered, which proved that they still had the strength to fight.
"Don't chase!"
"Leave enough defenders on the top of the city, and others will rescue the wounded and clean up the battlefield!"
"promise!"
After one night, hundreds of corpses were thrown on the battlefield.
Yan Yi ordered people to escort miners, cooks and others who were suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and identified the corpses on the battlefield.
"Now your only chance to survive is to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"
"If someone takes chances, then he will end up!"
After Yan Yi said this, he beheaded a cook on the spot.
This person has been confirmed, and he is the one who poisoned and assassinated the soldiers of the third battalion.
Fortunately, he didn't get any serious poison, only the soldiers from the third battalion had diarrhea.
Otherwise, Yan Yi would have the heart to cut him into a human flesh sashimi.
After Yan Yi beheaded one person, the remaining people became more honest and identified several corpses.
"My lord, I know this person, he is from the Ouchi family..."
"Sir, I also know this person. He is from the Nizi family, and this one is also..."
"My lord, this is a member of the Maori family. I have seen him at the Maori family's manor..."
Yan Yi ordered people to write down everyone, then wrote it into a document, and sent it to Wei Ming who was far away in Kyoto by telegram.
After Wei Ming read Yan Yi's report, he wrote an approval on the spot.
"Allow Iwami Silver Mine guards to fight back!"
"If cooperation is needed, this special envoy can request the Ming Navy for support!"
Seeing Wei Ming's reply, Yan Yi said happily to several battalion commanders around him.
"Master Wei asked us if we want naval support!"
Several battalion commanders said in unison.
"do not want!"
"There are only a few thousand Japanese pirates in the area, and we can easily wipe them out. Why do you need the navy to come and claim credit!"
Listening to the words of his battalion commander, Yan Yi laughed happily.
"Good boys, our old Yan saw you right!"
"Everyone has it, the third battalion stays behind to watch the house, and the others go out with us..."
"Let's hit the Nizi family first!"
"it is good!"
Not long after Nizi Jijiu returned home, he heard a report from his warriors.
"Sir, something bad has happened. The Ming army has sent a letter of challenge, saying that it will attack our family in three days!"
"what?"
"Why hit us first, we are not the closest to them!"
"Hurry up and send a letter to the Ouchi family, the Yoshimi family, and the Mori family, asking them to send someone to help us..."
Three days later, the Izumo Kingdom gathered soldiers from the other three families and fought a decisive battle with the Ming army on a plain.
Although Nizi had been preparing for three days, they were still on the verge of collapse when they met the Ming army on the battlefield.
On the same day, Nizi came to the Ming army camp, naked for a long time, carrying thorn sticks on his back, and apologized to General Yan Yi, the defender of the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Yi was not polite, and took the thorn stick and whipped Nizi Jiujiu dozens of times before forgiving his sin.
"Nizi Jiujiu, my Ming Dynasty has never invaded your country's territory, but you don't want to feel grateful, but instead gather people from other three countries to attack my Ming Dynasty's silver mine. This is a heinous crime!"
"I miss your first offense, and I will give you a chance to reform."
"From now on, the Izumo country will be removed from the name, and the Izumo country will be merged into the Iwami Silver Mine. Your family will move into the Iwami Silver Mine, and you will keep five hundred guards. Follow me to fight against the Yoshimi Clan, Mori Clan, and Ouchi Clan..."
"Roms!"
"My servant is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for Daming!"
Yan Yi rectified his army, set off again after a few days of recuperation, and took down the Jijian family in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Daming had accepted Nizi's prolonged surrender, the Jijian family wanted to follow suit, but unexpectedly, Daming did not accept his surrender at all.
"Master, the villain is willing to surrender, please give the villain a way to survive!"
"You can not!"
"Not only do you have to die, your whole family has to die!"
"There can't be a powerful family around the Iwami Silver Mine!"
After Yan Yi said this, he ordered people to drag Yoshimi Masarai down and chop him down. He also ordered other Yoshimi family members who were captured to be hacked to death.
However, Yan Yi underestimated the Jijian family.
The Yoshimi family can occupy a place in the chaotic Japan and serve as the guardian of Iwami country for generations, so there must be something unique.
Immediately after Yoshimi Masahiro was beheaded, someone sent the news to the Yoshimi family's lair, and the Yoshimi family members who stayed behind in the lair hurriedly boarded the ship and took advantage of the convenience of Ishimi country's proximity to the sea to go to other countries.
Yan Yi even destroyed the two countries, but he scared Ouchi Yoshihiro and Mori Moto, they didn't even dare to fight, and decisively took people away to North Korea.
Ouchi Yoshihiro is the son of the king of Joseon, and he has been trading with North Korea for these years, so he has a very good relationship with North Korea.
After fleeing to North Korea, Yoshihiro Ouchi quickly gained a firm foothold and gained the trust of the king of South Korea.
But what he didn't expect was that Ming's hunting documents soon arrived in North Korea, asking the King of North Korea to hand over his head.
Li Chenggui looked at the imperial decree brought by the special envoy of Ming Dynasty, and then at Yoshihiro Ouchi, who was aggrieved, with endless sadness on his face.
"Ouchi Yoshihiro, it's not that the king doesn't want to help you, it's really the emperor's order!"
Ouchi Yoshihiro seemed to have expected this ending a long time ago. Hearing what Li Chenggui said, instead of panicking, he said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the death of Ouchi Yoshihiro is not a pity, but once Ouchi Yoshihiro dies, how will North Korea resist Daming?"
Li Chenggui's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ouchi Yoshihiro snorted coldly.
"Just imagine, Your Majesty, Da Ming is at the height of the sun, tyrannical like no other. Now Da Ming dares to order His Majesty to hand over the head of His Majesty. Tomorrow, Da Ming asks His Majesty to offer his own head. How will His Majesty deal with it?"
"will not!"
"This king is loyal to Da Ming, Da Ming will never treat me like this!"
Ouchi Yoshihiro saw that Li Chenggui was lucky at this time, so he couldn't help but sneered.
"Really not?"
"Is the Emperor of Japan disrespectful to Daming?"
"But he is still detained in the capital by Daming!"
"Is my Ashikaga Yoshimitsu General Daming disrespectful?"
"There is still a home that cannot be returned, and authority that cannot be used."
"Your Majesty's land is divided into three parts by Daming, and His Majesty only occupies one part. Why should Your Majesty be so naive as to deceive oneself?"
"Daming will eventually annex Japan and North Korea, and put the two countries under Daming counties."
"If Your Majesty didn't make a plan in advance, it would be His Majesty's end if he humbled himself!"
The more Li Chenggui listened, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help roaring.
"enough!"
"You don't want to provoke the relationship between this king and Daming. This king is loyal to Daming, and Da Ming will never abandon Gu!"
"Come here, push this eloquent guy down and chop him off!"
"Yes!"
Yoshihiro Ouchi was kidnapped and taken to a secret room, with a sack on his head and pressed against a cutting board. Just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly heard a "click"...
After a while, Yoshihiro Ouchi took off his hood, just in time to see a headless corpse facing him.
Ouchi Yoshihiro looked around again and saw Li Chenggui looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Li Chenggui smiled warmly and said.
"Your Excellency Yoshihiro Ouchi, you are so resourceful and brave, how can I be willing to kill you?"
"But His Majesty the Ming Emperor has issued an imperial decree, and this king must obey."
"Therefore, I can only find someone who looks similar to you, put some makeup on him, and let him die for you!"
"Oh oh oh..."
Ouchi Yoshihiro hesitated for a moment, then knelt down towards Li Chenggui.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
"From now on, there will be no Ouchi Yoshihiro in the world, only a running dog loyal to His Majesty!"
Li Chenggui nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"it is good!"
"You are indeed a smart person!"
"Ouchi Yoshihiro's name can't be used anymore, you will change your name to Li Chengdong from now on, and be my distant brother!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"
When Li Chenggui sent the head of "Ouchi Yoshihiro" to Daming, Yan Yizheng, the guard of Iwami Silver Mine, carried out a frantic massacre of the surrounding feudal states.
All the families that participated in the night attack on the Daming Silver Mine were wiped out by him, and even the first Nizi family to surrender was given a knife by him.
It's not that Yan Yi is bloodthirsty, it's mainly because the Ming court recognized their military exploits in killing the enemy, which gave them a huge advantage in the first wave.
The defenders of Ishijian Silver Mine only had a total of more than 1000 people. After attacking several surrounding feudal countries, they beheaded 3000 people and seized countless baggage.
With the military exploits of [-] heads, everyone in the defenders of the Iwami Silver Mine was promoted to a higher level. Even the general who guarded the mine was promoted from a thousand households officer to a commander, and he could take up his post only after he returned to his country.
This made the upper and lower officers who had tasted the sweetness become addicted at once. They could keep them private if they were captured, and they could lead the military with their heads.
Under the temptation of huge interests, more than 1000 defenders of the Iwami Silver Mine turned into ghosts, frantically established battlefields around them, and then massacred the local warrior class to gain military exploits.
At first, they were able to control their minds and only kill armored warriors.Later, there were not enough warriors, and they even spared the peasants who farmed the land, causing several tragedies one after another...
The yamen of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, Ming Dynasty.
Tang Duo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, looked at the documents submitted by the Japanese king and felt a chill down his spine.
"No reason!"
"If Yan Yi doesn't guard the silver mine properly, causing trouble everywhere, he deserves to be punished!"
"I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow and ask Your Majesty to severely punish Yan Yi and bring justice to your country!"
Seeing Tang Duo, Minister of the Ministry of War, Emperor Qianren squeezed out two lines of tears.
"Thank you so much, Pu Ganren!"
"May my lord return justice to our country as soon as possible, and punish Yan Butcher, woo woo woo..."
Qian Ren came out from the Ministry of War, and took the same documents to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other yamen, and even Jiuqing visited them all.
Of course, along with his tearful performance, there is also the Japanese specialty he brought - gold.
After Qian Ren visited the six departments and nine ministers in the capital, he sent someone to each of the censors in the capital to deliver a document accusing Yan Yi of killing innocent people indiscriminately. Stuffed into each document was a gold note worth one thousand taels of silver.
After Ganren finished all this, he gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Japan.
"Butcher Yan, this time I will definitely chop your corpse into thousands of pieces to relieve my hatred!"
