When Li Rusong led his troops to wreak havoc in Danbo, Chai Guozhu's army was also wreaking havoc in Feichin.
Feichin used to be the base camp of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops to invade North Korea. There were a large number of military facilities, many of which were garrisoned by the army. However, in the face of Chai Guozhu's fierce attack and the guidance of the secret agents, these military facilities were destroyed one by one.
On April 13th, Chai Guozhu's troops divided into two groups. One group captured Nagoya Castle, the command center of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the ruling center of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He burned it into ruins and then continued to march.
He was very unhappy because he didn't find Tokugawa Ieyasu's family. According to the report of the secret agents, Tokugawa Ieyasu's family secretly escaped to the east by ship before the army landed. Their whereabouts were a mystery, and the secret agents didn't know.
Without catching Tokugawa Ieyasu's family and important leaders, it didn't make much sense to capture the whole Kyushu, which made Chai Guozhu very angry.
So he ordered the whole army to attack fiercely, leaving no room for retreat. Anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot, regardless of man or woman, old or young.
Although they didn't catch any leaders, the command center was indeed destroyed.
Without a unified command and order, the Japanese pirates could not gather together to fight against the enemy. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu left some troops in Kyushu to try to resist, the destruction of Nagoya made them lose the will to continue to fight and began to flee to Honshu.
The rest of the troops were led by Chai Guozhu's deputy, Ma Hu, to the Satsuma Domain.
Satsuma was the beginning of Japan's modernization, and this period was also the place with the strongest Western atmosphere. Portuguese missionaries first came to Satsuma during the Jiajing period to preach and spread Orchid Studies, and Japanese iron cannons began to be used.
After Xiao Ruxun wiped out the forces of the Spaniards and abolished all the factories of the Portuguese in Macau, she concentrated the remaining forces of the Portuguese and Spaniards in Myanmar to serve her. She brought Nanyang and the entire Southeast Asia under her rule, excluding all European forces.
The remaining Europeans who were not under Xiao Ruxun's control all gathered in Satsuma.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was very effective in controlling Satsuma. He used Satsuma as his iron cannon production base and invested a large amount of money in the production of cannons and cannons in an attempt to make his army stronger. However, it was still a short period of time.
This time the Qin army's surprise attack was successful and the Tokugawa army of Feizen was defeated like a landslide. Another group of soldiers under the leadership of Ma Hu landed from Satsuma.
Shimazu Tsugu was Tokugawa Army, and Tokugawa Ieyasu Satsuma Satsuma Army. Shimazu Tsugu of the Satsugu Tsugu Satsuma Empire, Satsum, Tsugu, and out, and, and haha, out in Tou Tsugu Tsugawa Shimazu.
The cannons of the Qin warships blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Very soon, they had destroyed the insignificant cannons of the Samoan army and routed the coast defense force of the Samoan army. Smoothly, they landed, reorganized, and marched on.
Shimazu Tadao led his army to resist, causing Ma Hu to face the most tenacious resistance the Qin army had ever faced since they landed.
However, the Qin Army outnumbered the Qin Army. They were well-trained and well-equipped with firearms. The Satsuma Army was not organized, and could not muster enough firepower to stop the Qin Army. They were defeated by the Qin Army's cannons and muskets.
However, the Qin army had the advantage in numbers, was well-trained, and had excellent firearms. The Satsuma army was not organized and could not organize a powerful firepower to stop the Qin army. They were defeated by the Qin army's cannon fire and muskets. After that, they were charged by the cavalry and the main force of the Satsuma army was scattered.
On the morning of the 15th of April, Ma Hu led his main force to attack the main city of Satsuma. Shimazu Tsugu led his army to defend the city. Although the battle was fierce, they were still no match for the Qin Army's cannons and cannons.
On the morning of the 15th of April, Ma Hu led his main force to attack the main city of Satsuma. Shimazu Tsugu led his army to defend the city. Although the battle was fierce, they were still no match for the Qin Army's cannons.
After the city was destroyed, the Qin Army invaded the city. Shimazu Tsugu refused to admit defeat and continued to fight in the streets with his remaining soldiers. In the end, they were killed by the Qin Army with muskets, and the Satsuma Army was completely annihilated.
Ma Hu had suffered many casualties, and the residents in the city continued to attack the Qin Army. He was furious and ordered a massacre in the city.
During the massacre, they found a group of red-haired and golden-haired Europeans hiding in the factory. The soldiers killed three to five of them in a frenzy, but they were stopped by Ma Hu.
Ma Hu thought about it again and again. He thought of the red-haired barbarians that Xiao Ruxun had left in the Myanmar firearms factory. Knowing that they knew how to cast cannons, he felt that they might be useful, so he ordered them all to be captured and sent back to the country on a small boat for Xiao Ruxun to deal with.
After the main city of Satsuma was destroyed, the people were basically all killed. The remaining people were scattered all over the country and were no longer a threat. Ma Hu continued to lead his army to conquer Satsuma. Then, he turned to other areas.
The Tokugawa Army's defense on Kyushu Island had officially failed.
Not only that, but they also suffered heavy losses. Due to the fierce resistance in many areas, the Qin Army slaughtered the city in retaliation. The Tokugawa Clan's foundation was uprooted and no longer existed. The Kyushu region was in a state of disunity, without a unified command.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was running for his life, did not know about this. Even if he knew, he would not send reinforcements, and his heart would not waver. Because there was nothing more important than running for his life.
After the night attack, Tokugawa Ieyasu called the Red Reserve Cavalry that had gathered around him and immediately ran for his life. Their direction was to the east, and their destination was Shaiyi Island.
Since the Qin Army was here, he did not think about anything else. He directly planned for the worst and ran for Shaiyi Island. As for the direction he ran in was the same as Fengchen's army, that was for sure and necessary. However, Fengchen's army did not know that he was running to Shaiyi Island.
He was such a decisive person.
More than six hundred original Red Reserve Cavalry and more than four hundred new Red Reserve Cavalry combined to form a weakened version of the Red Reserve Cavalry, which was also his personal bodyguard. They would not leave him no matter what. Therefore, they were also a capable bodyguard when he was running.
In the process of running, there were constantly defeated soldiers who rode on horses and ran for their lives together with him. Those without horses were destined to be unable to catch up. They could only watch in despair as the people riding on horses ran further and further away. Then, they would be caught up by the Qin Army and killed.
Tokugawa Ieyasu even felt that he was too decisive. He did not want the army, nor did he want anything. He only took some money and the Red Reserve Cavalry and ran for his life. He did not want anything. He did not even resist or think about anything else.
Perhaps he was really like what he had said. As long as he could survive, everything else could be thrown aside. After ensuring his safety, he would think about it again. If he lost his life, he would lose everything. The one who survived to the end would be the winner.
In contrast, the leaders on Fengchen's side were much more stupid. Not only did they not escape in time, but they were also organized by Yukita Hidei's family to fight against the Qin Army, which created an opportunity for Toyotomi Hidetsugu to escape.
As for what happened to them, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not know, nor did he care. He did not even care whether Ii Naomasa, who he sent as an envoy, was still alive or not. He only wanted to run for his life. In his view, this war had already been lost.
Toyotomi clan refused to unite. He had tried his best. If they really lost, it was not the fault of the war, but the fault of the Toyotomi clan for being too inflexible and inflexible.
Whether Japan could continue to exist or not, he did not know, nor did he care. Now, he only cared about whether he could survive or not.
