The person currently responsible for the expedition to Dazaifu Castle is the surrendered general of the former Jin Kingdom, named Liu Ge.

When the Ming army was conquering Shandong in the old year, he took the initiative to surrender the two cities of Tengzhou and Pizhou. Although the main reason for surrender was not the power of the Ming army, but the disagreement with the commander-in-chief of Jingdong Road Heshi Lieyawuta, so he was forced to surrender.

But his contributions were indelible. After all, the Ming Dynasty won two prefectures without spending a single soldier.

Therefore, after following the Western Army Governor Ulaanba, who returned to Beijing to work for the reign of his post, he was named the head of Thousand Houses by Ulutus. However, because he needed to further study, he could not return to the army immediately. The army that had followed him was left in Shandong and accepted the reorganization of the Western Army.

It can be said that except for the title of a thousand households, he lost all his real power. Later, after completing his further studies, he was arranged to serve as the governor of Jeju. He was in charge of military affairs in a state on the surface, but in fact he was responsible for training new recruits and responsible for the transfer of food and grass for the navy.

Moreover, because the main defense of Jeju Island is the Navy, and the security of the city on land is also controlled by the public security and military. Recruiting new recruits is basically the matter of the Navy, so what he, the governor, can manage is really limited.

Later, perhaps the people above thought he was too leisurely, so they handed over the newly established Jeju Race Farm to him. In this way, life became more tight.

But as a person who once held military power and personally led his troops to fight, Nahe Liuge was really not used to being an official career.

I thought such a difficult life would last for a long time, but the use of Guoan showed him a clear way.

When he was in Shandong, he was quite familiar with Guoan. However, his relationship with each other was not very good, because he belonged to different camps, and the two often commanded the troops below to rush. Later, they were both surrendered generals, but in the martial arts lecture hall where they were studying, they felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

When he learned that the other party had joined the navy, his mind immediately became active. He wanted to surrender to the Western Army before, but the identity of a surrendered general in the Jin Dynasty made the generals in the Governor's Office feel a natural sense of vigilance towards him.

So he wanted to surrender, but he couldn't even find a way.

Now there is a precedent for Guoan to find a different approach, so he wrote a letter to Wenxuan Office to express his urgency to make achievements. He also recommended himself to the Governor's Office, hoping to be transferred to the Navy. He also wrote a letter to Guoan, so that he could see that he was surrendered and told him about his feelings in front of Zuerbey, the head of the Navy's ten thousand households.

He also made a memorial to express his attitude. It happened that the Navy and Marine Corps were being formed and needed a group of generals to command troops.

Under Guoan's entrusted, Zulbe took the initiative to ask for people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Wenxuansi. At that time, the Governor's Office of the Five Army did not want to draw its own generals to supplement the navy's personnel, so he followed the situation and transferred the generals to the Sixth Brother.

At first, the navy had 3,000 people, two commanders and one commander of the thousand households. Nahe Liuge was the highest military rank among them, and just happened to be the commander of the Marine Corps. Later, after expansion at the end of the Battle of Goryeo, it had reached the establishment of 7,000 people.

Now looking at Dazai Fu Castle near him, a strong desire to make achievements had arisen in his heart. When he saw the servants who were lined upside down, but were filled with a complex feeling of greed and a little fear, and timidity, he felt a deep contempt in his heart.

Compared with the Marines with a well-equipped army, these servants were simply not worthy of carrying their shoes. He actually didn't understand Zulbe's order to form a cannon fodder unit. Because in his opinion, the short army of Japan was no match for the Ming army at all, and it was impossible to even consume the Ming army's strength. When in Ono Castle, he could stab and kill two with one shot.

Now looking at the small Dazaifu Castle, he only has the desire to trample on his feet.

Without delaying much, he immediately ordered the siege.

Although the Dazaifu Castle was built according to Chang'an during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, its national strength was limited. Not only was the city small in size, but the city walls were far inferior to Chang'an City. Even compared with cities outside the pass like Liaoyang/Shangjing, it was far inferior to those outside the pass.

With the support of siege ladders/carrying vehicles and other siege equipment, it is not very difficult for the servants to climb the city wall. In addition, there are fire tubes to help suppress them, and the servants to attack the city as if they were injected with chicken blood.

As a top-notch man from Jingui, Hojo Toshiba did not continue to stay on the city wall, but he was not far away. Seeing the sound of killing on the top of the city, the sound of a thunderous fire tube sounded, he was both scared and extremely anxious.

"General, please go farther. This Mingren's firearm is famous. If he hurts the general, we cannot explain it to the general!" The samurai who escorted Hojo Toshiba to leave persuaded him.

If they cannot protect the safety of the owner, they will all die. So his worries are not all Hojo Toshiba, but himself.

Just then, a fire explosion sounded on the top of the city, and several warriors were affected and fell from the top of the city.

Seeing his head bleeding and his eyes were dying, Hojo Toshiba's pace even faster.

After about an hour, the Ming army's siege came to an end. Brother Nahe did not want to withdraw his troops because the consumption of the cannon fodder still played a role. As long as the Marines were pressed up, they would definitely be able to snatch the city wall.

But Zulbe also sent an order from the other side, saying that he should not rush to take down Dazaifu Castle. He should implement the tactic of besieging the city to fight aid, so that the guardians of all countries who received the order to ask for help kept sending troops to die.

Although he couldn't fight happily, Zulbe had to order, and Nahe Liuge didn't dare to disobey. He could only call the gold and withdraw his troops first and wait for the support of the Japanese army to arrive.

The war here is stalemate. In the Xiaguan Strait in the eastern part of Jiuzhou, more than ten large sea boats are coming quickly towards the sea area in the middle of the strait.

Because it is an important waterway connecting Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, there are military strongholds with considerable ports on both sides of the Xiaguan Strait. After time, the shock of the Chumaki Kingdom has spread to both sides of the strait. They have been prepared and wary of possible enemies.

The long iron chain was separated by both ends of the strait. If it rushed directly, the Ming army would definitely fall apart. The Japanese commander who was looking forward to it on the shore also thought so. They were eagerly waiting for the Ming army ship to be destroyed and people were killed.

Unfortunately, just as they were approaching, the Ming army suddenly lowered the sails and their speed was immediately visible to the naked eye.
