Dazaifu Castle is the largest city with the highest political status on Kyushu Island. Although it cannot compare with Liaoyang, Shangjing and other cities in the Ming Dynasty, it was built in the Chang'an City during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In terms of layout alone, it has remarkable points.

It was not yet dawn and the city gate had not been opened. But there were already defeated soldiers in groups of three or three, coming to the city city. The defenders on the city wall soon learned from the defeated soldiers that Najin Port and Ono Castle were sneak attacked by the enemy.

Because these defeated soldiers fled too quickly, they didn't know who the enemy was who was sneak attacking them.

The guards did not dare to hide anything. While letting these people enter the city, they quickly sent someone to report to the west of the town.

As a general in Shinsei, Hojo Toshiba was not sleeping well. The great changes in Goryeo in the north had already aroused his vigilance. Later, the successive fall of Ma and Iki made him feel the threat of the Ming Dynasty deeply.

The northern barbarian country that should have galloped on the grassland and had nothing to do with the sea somehow became interested in the sea. Now it has formed a navy, as if it is planning to cross the sea for an expedition.

Therefore, when the warrior reported the news, he immediately lost his sleepiness.

Soon, in the hall where the discussion was held, the old man and the O family knelt on both sides of the hall. When Hojo Toshiba saw that everyone had arrived, he immediately announced the news that the Aigen had seized Natsu and Ono Castle.

Without long discussion, the tone of action was basically set to immediately convene guards from all countries to gather Dazaifu and prepare to compete with the Ming people.

Just at this time, the Ming army also sent a small army to Dazaifu for a tentative attack.

Unlike those cities with small walls and not many defenders. Zhenxi Zheng was prepared for a long time, the defenders on the city became nervous as soon as the Ming army appeared. Moreover, the other party was overestimated and sent some warriors to attack the Ming army first.

"Hey. These little guys are so skillful and brave!" Wang Zhou was looking at the group of warriors rushing out of the city. The other party was aggressive and ran forward. It seemed like that.

And in terms of force, their small army has less than one hundred people. The other party has at least three hundred. Although the disadvantages in height and body shape can be seen at a glance, the other party may still think that three against one will have the advantage in military strength.

"Do you want to use a fire tube?" a soldier asked.

"Don't use it! Those little dwarfs have not approached yet. What should we do if we use it so early to scare it away? When we get closer, we still shoot arrows. There are still people who can run, so come closer and beat them." Wang Zhouzheng ordered.

The soldiers below were full of contempt for the short Japanese, so there was nothing wrong with it. So when the two sides were closer to fifty steps, Wang Zhouzheng and others immediately began to shoot arrows with bows.

The Japanese samurai who were already running fast immediately formed a mess. Especially after the group of people who ran the front fell to the ground, it soon caused people in the rear to fall one after another.

At this time, Wang Zhouzheng and the others urged the mounts below to trot. When the Japanese people approached, they immediately raised their butcher knives and slashed them hard. For a moment, there was another massacre.

This relaxed murder scene made the defenders watching the battle even more frightened. They immediately ordered someone to add another crossbar behind the city gate to prevent the Ming army from rushing in.

I have to say that this method is very effective.

Wang Zhouzheng and the others rode around the small Dazai Mansion and found that there was really nothing to take advantage of the opportunity, so they sent someone back to report the situation here. The others stayed to continue to observe the movements in the city.

And in Najin Port, a grand recruitment ceremony has begun.

Since the Japanese samurai class was not saturated at this time, there were not so many unemployed samurai, so the recruitment was mainly those famous masters and Zuren with low status. These are the most important and vast people in Japan, among which the famous masters are those high-quality farmers with land, usually not large in area. Zuren is the tenants of the Song State, but their fate is even more miserable. Not only does they have no land, but their lives are also from those who control the land.

At present, both the famous masters and the masters actually have only one identity, that is, the civilians with meager income and difficulty in survival. They carry merchants on the dock and repair ships. When there is a lack of manpower, they can also act as crew members to replenish the ships.

For these people, the price offered by the Navy was one Mongolian silver dollar worth one yuan per person, and a reward of ten acres of land. Compared with the small and limited arable land in Japan, the land granted by the Ming Dynasty was obviously much wider.

Moreover, after the war ended, the Ming Kingdom would also grant meritorious people the identity of the family members, becoming the only level of advancement for these famous masters and scholars.

With the local samurai recruited by Fujita Yoshii, there were signs that some brave Japanese people joined the Ming army. Zuerbei immediately asked Guoan to use and Gao Mingshi to attack some strongholds that were not difficult to conquer.

When they robbed money, they also gave them great rewards in front of everyone. The so-called wealth moved people. The famous master and the servant who were used to poverty killed people with blood and gained benefits could not be suppressed.

Some people who were waiting and watching got benefits when they saw the famous masters and the other inferiors so easily, and they were even more willing to join the vassal army of Ming.

In order to encourage more people to join, Zuerbe also stipulated that the towns captured by the minions themselves could take away half of their property. If they conquered with the Ming army and made efforts, they could take away a quarter of them.

Although most Japanese people who don’t know big words don’t understand the tricks, they are still very inspired by the real money and silver.

By the time the main force of the Ming army arrived at Dazaifu City, the number of servants had exceeded 5,000. Although some of them were of varying quality, some were still pirates who came to bid on nearby islands, the Ming army was always here.

As long as they were willing to disrupt the situation on Kyushu Island for the Ming army, the Japanese were too busy to take care of themselves and the shogunate was shocked, then such servants would be collected as much as they came. Anyway, they were cannon fodder, and they would be recruited after they died.

On the Ming army, they could transport the looted materials to the rear as much as possible and make every effort to recover their blood.

When Hojo Toshiba saw a large number of joyful servants, he was trembling with anger. Although he did not regard these inferior people as human beings, these inferior people dared to collude with the Ming people and attack the Dazai Fu Castle. That was really a tide on the head of Tai Sui - it was a rebellion.
