Chapter 329: Expedition!
Although Liu Ergou doesn't learn and has no skills, Liu Ergou is not stupid. Therefore, as soon as he heard Mr. Liu's words, Liu Ergou immediately understood that he was coming.
In this poor and remote place of the Wa Kingdom, even the dog-like Yoshihisa Sasaki can be regarded as a great guardian, and the hundreds of Japanese slaves under him who are five feet tall, have incomplete armor, are not equipped with weapons, and have unknown orders can already be regarded as a strong army-
According to Yoshihisa Sasaki, it's not that he doesn't want to change these Japanese slaves with better equipment, nor does he not want to raise more Japanese soldiers, it's that his strength doesn't allow it.
To put it bluntly, there is no money, no food, and it is already good to be able to raise so many hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and you want to raise more Japanese soldiers? Then I can only wash and sleep early, anyway, I have everything in my dreams.
Therefore, the hundreds of guards and daimyo that Sasaki Yoshihisa said may be true, and it may also be true that they can make up tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers to scare themselves.
But let them give strict orders, have all armor, and prepare armaments, then it is pure.
Because there was not so much food in the Wa Kingdom at all.
And the so-called food of Yoshihisa Sasaki, Liu Ergou has also seen it-
An ordinary Japanese slave meal is probably a bowl of small rice and two boiled radish, and if you can add a plum, it will be a very high-grade meal.
And those so-called "ashigaru" who worked hard for Yoshihisa Sasaki, they usually eat a serving of rice, a small fish two fingers wide, a small dish of pickled radish, a cup of wild vegetables boiled in clear water, and a bowl of miso soup. This is no longer a delicacy that ordinary Japanese slaves can afford, and even the ashigaru people cannot afford to eat it all at once.
What's even worse is that the Japanese country still has a two-meal system up and down - only breakfast and dinner, and no meals at noon!
Sometimes Liu Ergou can't help but pity these Japanese slaves - the food is not as good as the food of his own dogs. At the very least, their dogs can still eat enough......
At this level of Japanese slaves, it should be no problem for them to make up more than 100,000 Japanese slaves, but to let them make up enough food to supply hundreds of thousands of Japanese slaves, Liu Ergou thinks it is better to wash and sleep, after all, there is everything in the dream.
Looking at Liu Ergou's sudden realization, the scholar surnamed Liu nodded and asked, "Understood?" ”
"The student understood."
Liu Ergou hurriedly bowed down and said, "Mr. Xie instructs." ”
The scholar surnamed Liu nodded, and then asked, "Now that you know what to do?" ”
Liu Ergou said: "I know-first send Sasaki Yoshihisa to find out the route of their march, and then the students will lead people to cut off their food route!" ”
Liu Ergou thought very clearly, since the Japanese country is short of food, and these so-called guardians and daimyo are a messy patchwork coalition army, which means that as long as the grain road is cut off, the Japanese soldiers brought by these guardians and daimyo will be chaotic without attacking, even if there are tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, they will be tens of thousands of laborers to be arrested at that time, and Meidi is very.
However, Liu Ergou had just finished talking about his plan with a proud face, and Mr. Liu twitched his head with a book, and then Mr. Liu scolded him with hatred: "Where are you rotten wood that can't be carved, you are simply a wall of dung that can't be enclosed." ”
"It's like those Japanese soldiers brought by Yoshihisa Sasaki, which one didn't carry their rice balls with him? There are no even war horses, so how can there be food and grass? If there is no grain or grass, what grain will you break? Is it that I have heard too much from those gentlemen in the teahouse? ”
"Lure the enemy!"
"Let the guardians and daimyo come with their armies, and when they come, we'll get on board."
"Walking them along the seashore of the Wa Kingdom is like walking a dog. As long as they walked for a few days, these Japanese soldiers were almost gone. ”
"Only then will they be laborers."
"Got it?"
Seeing that Mr. was pointing so clearly, Liu Ergou immediately bowed down and said, "Understood!" Thank you, students, for your advice! ”
Mr. Liu nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Mr. Wu, "Let's go play chess next?" ”
Mr. Wu hummed, nodded, and said, "Let's go, go play chess." It is better to watch the Japanese slaves fight, than to watch the children play at home. ”
……
For an emperor, having the power to have soldiers and money basically means that the emperor can do whatever he wants.
It's like Zhao Huan.
When the Quanzhou Sailor and the Penglai Sailor assembled in Penglai together, the Mulan Boat Fleet that covered the sky and the sun seemed to directly cover the entire sea, and tens of thousands of neatly armored forbidden soldiers gathered in military units, and then took the battalion as a unit, singing that Hu no one was there, and began to board the ship.
Zhao Huan's Fourth Army brought to Penglai from Bianjing, plus the 27th, 28th, and 29th Armies stationed in Shandong, had nearly 40,000 combatants and almost 10,000 non-combatants.
Such a luxurious configuration is used to exterminate the Japanese people, and the face of the Japanese country must also have brilliance.
"I, today I will lead the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Tiger and Wolf to conquer the Wa Kingdom!"
"It's not a crime of hanging the people, and it's not a disrespect for the Heavenly Empire."
"I want to destroy the Japanese because I don't like the Japanese country! For such a reason, there is no other! ”
On the stage, after Zhao Huan led a group of generals to hold a ceremony to worship the sky, he glanced at the generals in the audience and said: "All the generals, I am willing to destroy the Japanese kingdom with me!" ”
A number of civil officials in the audience, such as the political envoy of Shandong, the governor of Dengzhou, and the magistrate of Penglai County, all fell into a state of confusion.
Emperor Taizu used a reason of "lying on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly", and today's official family ...... It seems that he doesn't even bother to find a righteous and bright excuse, and he directly wants to kill the Japanese state.
The Qiu Ba people in the audience are not as confused as civil officials.
For Qiu Bamen, if they eat the food of the official family, they have to work for the official family, which is a matter of course.
As for whether the Wa State should be destroyed or not, and whether the Wa slaves should die, that is not something that the Eight Masters of Qiu need to consider - what the Eight Masters of Qiu need to consider is how to kill the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible and how to satisfy the officials.
Besides, if you don't fight, where will the military merit come from? Without military merit, what strength does this soldier have? It's better to farm!
And for the onlookers in the audience, it doesn't matter whether the Wa State lives or dies, and even wishes that the official family could quickly destroy the Wa State - if the Wa State is finished, does it mean that the price of the Wa women on the market will drop? Does it mean that everyone has the opportunity to buy one and go back as a concubine?
As for the rest, as long as the official family doesn't do anything about the flowers, doesn't come to rob his own food, and doesn't rob his own daughters to enter the palace, who cares what he does! Especially with the grievances of the Liao State and the Jin State for nearly 100 years, once the blood was washed away, the people also hope that the official family can continue to be strong!
Is he willing to fight? Then let him fight! When he runs out of money, donate a few to him so that he can continue to fight! Wherever Lao Tzu goes, he can puff up his chest and say that he is a great Song Guimin, not a beautiful one!
Therefore, just when the civil officials were collectively confused, the generals under the stage had already shouted in unison with the surrounding people.
"Exterminate the widows! Exterminate the widows! ”
