Chapter 1349 Mutation
Yang Sichang was deducing the sand table behind the scenes, commanding the army to dispatch, preparing to find out Aoyama Tadatsushi and destroy the last power of the Tokugawa Shogunate on Kyukuni Island.
But Tadatsushi Aoyama was not a vegetarian. When Tadatsuki Kurotian annexed the five northern countries, the 50,000 troops he had been hiding suddenly rushed south from the Koma County of the Higo Kingdom and directly entered Kagoshima. The army quickly surrounded Kagoshima and blocked Zuo Liangyu and Kagoshima for a long time in Kagoshima.
At this time, Dorgon was still in the corner of the sea, preparing to go north, but Shanxian and a thirty thousand army that had been timid suddenly appeared, blocking the two mountains of Fenghou Fan, preventing Dorgon from going north.
Tadatsushi Aoyama's army surrounded but did not attack, and Yama Prefecture and Ichi were just guarding the danger, as if they had made up their minds to block the Ming Dynasty's army from Satsuma and Osumi.
While studying the purpose of these actions of Japan in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao was cruising in the fleet near Guanmen Strait and monitored the abnormality.
Zheng Zhilong is responsible for monitoring the place, and the big basket in the sky is constantly stopping day and night.
That night, a surveillance captain hurriedly invited Zheng Zhilong into a big basket, held a telescope, and said, "Sir, look, those places have been quiet these days, as it always seems, but it is too quiet. The general tried to test it, and it was very unusual. The general suspected that the Japanese navy was hiding here."
Another lieutenant said, "The last general has carefully investigated it. This Guanmen Strait is very unusual. Our fleet cannot enter easily, otherwise it is very likely that it will not be able to get out..."
Zheng Zhilong ignored the two of them and could not see anything in the telescope, but the faint light made him feel uneasy.
Zheng Zhilong put down his telescope and said with a calm face, "What do you say from the MIIS?"
"The MIIS said that there were no pirates nearby, and their ships were confiscated. The pirates didn't know where they went. Also, the MIIS said that Hiromasa Itakura seemed to have a special purpose here, but it has not been found out yet..." said the lieutenant.
Zheng Zhilong felt more and more uneasy. Japan had not made any big moves. Now Tadashi Aoyama suddenly made efforts. There was something strange about the Guanmen Strait connecting its own island with Kyuko Island. What is the idea of Japan?
Zheng Zhilong said: "Send a message to the Grand Governor, asking the Military Intelligence Department to conduct a serious investigation. We will also closely observe and ask for instructions on whether to conduct a tentative attack."
"Yes." The two lieutenants responded.
When the news about Zheng Zhilong reached Tsushima Island, Yang Sichang's hands and the information collected from various places quickly fell on Yang Sichang's desk.
The Staff Office and others deduced overnight, and their expressions were quite serious.
On the sand table, Qian Jinxiao said, "The Grand Governor, in Osumi, Yama Prefecture and Ichima blocked Dorgon's way with 30,000 people. In Kagoshima, 20,000 people besieged the city, and 30,000 people were mobile reserves. The purpose is not clear. The troops coming from the Guanmen Strait are initially estimated to be 30,000, and they may have increased their troops to the Mu Aofan to resist our army advancing west from Ekima Island..."
Yang Sichang looked at the sand table and said nothing.
Another staff officer said: "Grandmaster, we have interpreted that the Japanese have roughly understood our situation and are ready to seize the initiative and put the decisive battlefield on the Kyushu Island..."
"There are at least 30,000 people coming in the Guanmen Strait. Now they are approaching the inner city of Fenghou Fan. It is likely to be heading towards Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo only has 10,000 people. Even if the Japanese surrendered soldiers are added, there are only 20,000. I am afraid that it may not be able to stop them. The five northern countries may be thrown away from us..."
"There are arrangements for the navy in the Guanmen Strait, which are now difficult to control. We are one step slower than Japan. If we can take the Guanmen Strait as soon as possible and isolate the connection between our own island and Kyuko Island, Tadashi Aoyama's more than 100,000 troops will be closed and fight dogs..."
The staff obviously deduced a lot and carefully reviewed and analyzed the situation.
Yang Sichang stared at the sand table and said, "The established plan of the General's Mansion is to erase Japan's vitality on Jiuguo Island. Although the situation of the war has changed, the initiative is still in our hands..."
He held a wooden stick in his hand and pointed to the sand table and said, "No matter what Aoyama Chuanjun wants to do, we just need to advance our plan. If he wants to surround him, let him surround him. Dorgon must break through the obstacles of Shanxian Heyi as soon as possible, meet with Li Dingguo, and then eat up the Japanese reinforcements coming in the Strait of Guanmen..."
Qian Jinxiao listened and said, "Zuo Liangyu's 10,000 elite soldiers should be able to hold up 20,000 to 30,000 people, but Aoyama Tadashi has a lot of available. He may also want to join the reinforcements and swallow Li Dingguo, Dorgon, and then Kagoshima..."
"He thinks beautifully!"
A staff member snorted coldly and said, "Li Dingguo is in the inner city of the palace. Even if there is not much food or grass, there is not enough firearms. With the support of the navy, it will definitely be fine for a year and a half. The key now is that Dorgon wants to break through the block of Heyi of Shanxian as soon as possible. As long as Dorgon's 50,000 troops break through, Jiuguo Island will be allowed to gallop, and Aoyama Tadatsushi cannot stop it!"
Yang Sichang glanced at them, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Tell Dorgon to conquer Shanxian Heyi at any cost and meet with Li Dingguo!"
"Yes!" Qian Jinxiao kept saying.
The strategy of the Ming Dynasty was very clear and was not disrupted by Japan. Fei Ge sent letters to all directions.
Dorgon from Osumi Island received the order from Yang Sichang and looked at Daishan, Duoduo and others in the lower head with a calm look.
Dai Shan said: "There are many mountains here, few plains, and mountain counties dare to block us, that is, because we have many cavalry, but we don't know that what we are best at is infantry fighting."
Duoduo sneered and said, "Brother, I will bring 10,000 people. At most, I can squeeze out Shanxian and Yi and break through the two mountains!"
Mandahai was more calm and said, "We have water on both sides, and there is only one road ahead. If we want to break through the two mountains as soon as possible, we still need artillery."
If they take the crowd, it will undoubtedly make them feel heartbroken. After all, they don’t have many soldiers and it is difficult to supplement the losses.
Dorgon listened, looked at Duoduo and said, "Obai, how long will it take to arrive?"
Dorgon's army itself had artillery, but it was uneven and of poor quality. In Obai's hands, there was a two thousand artillery regiment formed by the Jurchens.
Duoduo disliked Oboi very much, so he snorted coldly and said, "The Ming people locked our cannons to guard against us. Then Oboi was born with a rebellious bones, what's the use for him!"
Dorgon ignored him and looked at Daishan.
Dai Shan said: "It should be soon, just two days."
Dorgon sat up and said coldly: "Okay, reorganize the army, pretend to attack, use the strategy of exhausting the enemy first, and once Oboi comes, you can start the war!"
This time, the others had no objection, stood up together, then responded, turned around and strode away.
Their relationship is very complex, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is also unclear.
Mandahai took three thousand people, pretending to be ten thousand, and began to attack Lianggaishan in a pretty good manner.
Shanxianhe had been waiting early in the morning, but was still shocked. Half of them went to the fortress, holding weapons, and staring nervously at the rushing enemy.
