The Battle of Woydtun was over, and Naohide was no surprise at the victory.

There are too many favorable conditions, advanced weapons, rigorous training, reasonable tactics and preset battlefields, and more importantly, as long as there is a fair chance, those who fight for a better future can always defeat the bandits.

What is more difficult for Naoxiu than fighting is how to convince everyone to fight before the battle.

After all, there are only a few hundred people in the White Lord's office, and in the face of the behemoth of Lucia, Zhixiu said that there are not many people who really support him.

The first is the question of whether to fight or not to win.

Fuso has been talking about kamikaze or something, saying that God blesses or something, saying that samurai live to death or something, but in fact, it is because he knows his own situation very well, and the country is weak, and he may not be able to rely on strength, so he can only expect a miracle.

And the white lord gathered the Fuso people who knew the most about the world at this time - there are a large number of relevant books in the township school, and the group of people in Naoxiu have been studying Western knowledge, and the more they understand, the more they can realize the gap, the gap between the Lucian Empire, which is known as the Europa gendarme, and the white lord's place is like the difference between heaven and earth.

For this kind of panic out of understanding, even if Naohide talked a lot about the weaknesses of this clayfoot giant, such as backward weapons, discord between officers and soldiers, outdated tactics, etc., it could not dispel everyone's worries.

At this time, it reflects the foresight of Naoxiu to explore Miaotun in June last year, although it was fought across the river at that time, but after all, it was a real conflict, and the Lucia people did use breech guns at that time, and the smoothbore was not smoothbore, but at that time the group was uninjured and killed several enemies, which all corroborated the statement that the Lucian people were backward in armament.

And the information that Naoyoshi Hori and Otou explored when they traded with the tribe last time also confirmed from the side that the number of opponents was indeed small.

After carefully considering the advanced Western ordnance and other strengths in their hands, and comparing them with the intelligence and the results of the staff officers' exercises, they found that they really had a greater chance of winning.

But being able to defeat the enemy at the mouth of the Wulong River does not mean that he can win the Eastern Siberian governor of Kamchatka, and Muravyov has about a thousand standing troops and six gunboats in his hands, especially gunboats, which is too much of a threat to the white lord who has no regular warships.

In this regard, Naohide believes that the white lord will definitely be able to hold it, and the gunboats are a threat, but they are not invincible.

According to the original world data, the current Lusia Fleet is officially known as the Sea Fleet of Okhotsk, and since 1849 the home port has been the port of Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka, with 2 gunboats, 4 armed transport ships, and 5 sailing ships.

Fortunately, the Okhotsk Naval Fleet has not been taken seriously since its establishment, and has only been to maintain the security of the Far East coast of Lucia and protect merchant ships, and there has been a shortage of funds, resulting in many ships in disrepair and outdated weapons.

The ships are equipped with old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore guns, bombarders, that is, the famous Peksan guns, and they are still solid shells, with an optimal firing range of about 500 meters and an effective firing range of about 1,000 meters and 500 meters.

The guns that the White Lord now has are four famous Mi-style 3-inch rifled guns, which are not only light and safe, but also have a fairly high hit rate, the only problem is that they are still breech-loading guns.

Originally, the Ordnance cannon was supposed to pass the test of the rice army on June 25, 1861, but Naohide developed it in the United States in advance, and the reason why Nakahama Manjiro returned a year late was because of this treasure.

Its process is mainly a hollow casting process, with a focus on using a machine tool to wind five layers of iron bars around the mandrel.

The Ordnance gun has a standard barrel weight of 820 pounds, and when using a 1-pound firing ~ charge, a 9-pound grenade fired at a 10-degree elevation angle can reach a maximum range of 2788 yards, and at a 20-degree elevation angle

The firing range can reach 3972 yards when fired.

Because of the different degrees of hull shaking and protection, the ship's guns were at a disadvantage in firing with the batteries, and the 3-inch rifled guns had the advantages of range, shell type and accuracy, which was the reason why Naohide was not afraid of the Rucian battleship.

Moreover, the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, may not have sent a ship to attack the White Lord - information deception is one reason, and the Governor has always flaunted the banner of rice ships, but another more important reason is that Muravyov has not been officially authorized to fight foreign wars, that is, the fleet does not necessarily obey the orders he gave to attack the territory of Fuso.

Since August 3, 1492, when Christopher Columbus led three galleons built with the Queen's jewelry, the expansion of the countries of Europa has seen countless adventurers, who dare to attack cities with a few hundred men and go to war with an indigenous country with a few thousand commanders.

From Hernán the Conqueror? From Cortés to Pizarro the Marauder, these so-called generals often conquered and destroyed without authorization, and this culture of self-assertion and do-it-and-do continues to this day.

Captain Neviskoy, who was inspecting the mouth of the Oolong River, did not actually receive official authorization, he only had the support of the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Menshikov, and Menshikov's decision was not reported to the emperor, so the exploration of the Oolong Estuary was actually an internal illegal operation for Rusya.

Before Neviskoy, Rusya had explored the mouth of the Oolong River and concluded that "large ships were impassable", so Nicholas I decided that "it is very regrettable that the Amur is useless, and the Amur issue will be put aside". After that, Foreign Minister Nesher Rodie informed Admiral Wrangel, the general director of the Russian-American company in charge of the Far East, that "the Amur question should be over forever, and all the documents that could cause unpleasant relations between the Dons and Lucia should be kept secret." ”

The chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Menshikov, who supported the expedition, told Captain Neviskoy that if it was found, he would reply that "the ship was carried to the mouth of the Amur River by the rapids and by the strong winds that often blow here."

In 1849, after Neviskoy discovered that there was a deep-water channel at the mouth of the Oolong River, the Special Commission, despite the intervention of the Emperor, did not punish him, but did not give him any reward, and on February 3, 1850 Nicholas I ordered "to establish a winter camp near the southwestern shore of the Sea of Okhotsk in order to facilitate trade with the Kyryaks, but in no case shall it involve the Amur River and the area of the estuary".

However, due to the persuasion of the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, Nicholas I later overturned the resolution of the Special Commission and awarded the Order of Neviskoy, stating that "the flag of Rusya cannot be lowered wherever it is raised."

The subsequent expansion of Rusia on the Ulong River and the Birch was only a chain reaction of the adventures of the governor of Eastern Siberia and the captain, who were mostly inclined to expand into the Balkans of Europa, under the influence of the Slavic movement, and had little interest in the bitter cold lands of the East.

Before the end of the Crimean War in 1856, Naohide's opponent was only Muravyov, the governor of Eastern Siberia in Rusia, and before Nicholas I ordered an invasion of the Danube Valley on June 21, 1853, as long as the White Lord did not attack Lucia's territories in the Far East, as long as he did not irritate the nerves of the giants with feet of clay, he faced only a thousand standing troops and six gunboats under Muravyov.

In the face of Muravyov, an adventurer, the white lord can only get a precious respite of four years by cutting off his ambitions, which is why Naohide thinks that he must fight.

And when it comes to these crazy adventurers, the protagonist of next year's visit to the Black Ship, Commodore Matthew? Perry was one of them, and he was given an order not to provoke a war before he set out, but he used war to intimidate the shogunate and thus grab huge benefits.

The main reason why there are so many adventurers is poor communication is that most of the information in the rear basically comes from the feedback from the front, which is not to say what it is - as long as the battle is won and the advantage is taken, everything is easy to say.

As the head of the family and the head of the white lord's family, Naohide has a high prestige, so he also has the qualifications to be an adventurer.

After fighting, they can resist the retaliation later, so everyone reluctantly agrees to go to war.

As for the shogunate's accountability, compared to the war against the Lucians, everyone is less worried about this, because:

First, because there are too many forbidden things for the white master, there is no big difference between one more and one less, not to mention that the sky is high and the public is far away, and it will be mixed up if you bluff and bluff, it is really not good, isn't there still a straight show top cylinder;

The second is that the white lord has a tendency to make trouble, and these people are very excited to participate in this earth-shattering event, and feel as if they are witnessing history and creating history - all the people who follow the institute, except for Naohide, are not able to get ahead under the shogunate system, so the rebellious ideas are very marketable, and the reputation of the Lucia people is too bad, and it is a kind of correct governance in Fuso and Lucia;

And these heads and group heads faintly feel that if the white lord can defeat the Lucians, then the shogunate may not have any good way to take the white lord.

After getting the backbone, Naohide used another method against ordinary ashigaru - coaxing, "This time the north is a military training, and the Lusia people will go south sooner or later, so everyone must prepare early." ”

Of course, there are also organic spirits in Ashigaru, and they feel that something is not right, but their perspective and intelligence are not enough, and they can't think of a reason to break their heads, so they naturally can't firmly resist the orders of the group leader.

By the time the battle of Vojdtun was over, all the questions and doubts had disappeared – at least temporarily, because of the great victory of the Voydtun Force.

Everyone happily cleaned up the battlefield and reorganized their armaments, while Naohide took the Ainu disguised as rice to judge the prisoners.

The order given before the start of the war was to kill, and there should have been no prisoners, but this prisoner was a special one, he was a priest.

It was a custom of Europa to bring priests with them, and the people of Lucia were not exempt from it. This priest was caught by the Hezhe people on the way to escape, because the locals are pantheists and worship nature and gods, and the Hezhe people who have been to Miaotun do not dare to kill him after they catch him.

When fighting, you can't keep your hands, but you can't dispose of the tied enemy at will, otherwise it will cause the wrong impact, and the so-called unknown killing of prisoners is easy to cause the soldiers to doubt the justice of their own position, and then damage the credibility of the organization.

If you catch it, you can further confirm the situation of the enemy army.

Since it is believed that the Lucians are the great enemy, the people who are interested in the white lord are learning the language of their opponents, but the most fluent is still Naohide, so he is personally responsible for communication.

This priest's name is Peter, and he is a sloppy middle-aged man who has never seen much of the world, so as soon as Naoxiu threatens, he confesses one by one.

After the establishment of the Nikolaevsk post in August 1850, the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, attached great importance to the area, sending a total of 90 men from half an infantry company, 100 men from a Cossack cavalry company, as well as some sailors and some immigrants to the Miaotun post and the Perov winter camp, which consisted of 25 Cossacks and 10 sailors.

Although the Lucian robbers were very brutal, they had great respect for the priests, so Peter knew a lot about it.

According to Peter, the staff officers calculated that if what he said was true, then there were still 45 infantry and more than a dozen civilian adventurers in Miaotun - in fact, they were part-time robber merchants, and the 35 soldiers of the winter camp might also be withdrawn to Miaotun, adding up to nearly 100 people, and it would be a bit difficult to fight.
