Chapter 543: Fusang Battle Situation
After two years of development, there is a steady stream of skilled craftsmen from Xianyang, plus Li Chen's heavy support. The money that is thrown on the navy every year can build a huge city. It is also because of this kind of dedication that the vigorous development of the Daqin Navy is now possible.
The year before last, when Li Chen attacked the Samhan region. There is only one 100-meter-long sail battleship, Xianyang, but now there are three such sail battleships moored in the port of Qu County, in addition to Xianyang, there are also two brand-new sail battleships Yuecheng and Guanzhong.
In addition, the Great Qin Navy also has dozens of small warships launched, although this kind of battleship is not as good as the sail battleship, but compared to the Fu ships in the current service of the Great Qin Navy, it is still much stronger.
Within a few days, Han Shin had made a plan to attack the Ryukyus.
"Everybody's going?" Li Chen looked at Han Xin's plan and asked with some surprise.
Originally, according to Li Chen's plan, if he attacked Ryukyu this time, it would be about 50,000 troops. After all, in addition to the terrain advantage, the natives on the Ryukyus had the advantage of Great Qin in all other aspects. Sending 50,000 troops plus Daqin's strong ships and cannons, you can take Ryukyu no matter what, and there is no need to send 100,000 troops at all.
Han Xin looked at Li Chen and replied seriously, "Yes, everyone goes." I know that the pressure on such logistical supplies may be very high, but if I don't take this opportunity to train the troops, I am afraid that these soldiers may not be able to fight a tough battle on the battlefield. ”
Han Shin was very thoughtful, these soldiers were all new recruits. If only 50,000 troops are sent, then this army of 50,000 people has gone through a bloody battle, but what about the remaining 50,000 soldiers who have not been baptized in blood. When the time comes, if you rush to the battlefield, you will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle.
"Okay, I'll support you, go and arrange it. The logistics, I'll arrange it. Li Chen handed the plan back to Han Xin and said.
"Wang Li, go and call Du Bishu." Li Chen instructed Wang Li.
Wang Li walked outside, and Du Bishu, who looked like an old tuberculosis ghost, walked in.
"Generalissimo, you call me." Du Bishu arched his hand.
"Sit down." Li Chen motioned for Du Bishu to sit down first.
"Vice Marshal Han plans to drive all the 100,000 troops to Ryukyu and train while fighting. I think this plan is good, and a soldier who has never seen blood is not an elite soldier. ”
"With the transportation of 100,000 people's food, is there any pressure on your side?" Li Chen groaned.
Du Bishu's face was serious, his brow furrowed, his lips moving, as if he was secretly calculating something. After about thirty breaths, Du Bishu spoke: "There is no problem in transporting materials and food for 100,000 people, but it needs to occupy a part of the cargo ships at the wharf, and I am afraid that our seaborne trade is at least one-third." ”
Stopping the trade, this really made Du Bishu feel a little distressed. The entire Qu County can be developed into what it is now, but he has been building it according to Li Chen's plan throughout the whole process. It can be said that Quxian is like a child who is pulled by Du Bishu single-handedly. Today, the seaborne trade of Quxian County and the land trade of Shimenshan Special Economic Zone can be said to be the cash cow of Daqin.
Stopping one-third of the maritime trade, the silver lost every day can be said to be calculated in cars, which is equivalent to filling a carload of silver into the sea, which really makes Du Bishu feel distressed. But he is a courtier, he can only say the pros and cons, and the specific decision still has to be decided by Li Chen.
As long as he can take the Ryukyus, and then take Fuso, let alone stop one-third of the maritime trade, it is worth it for Li Chen to stop all of them. You know, Fuso is a big silver-producing country. Once Fuso was occupied, what could be obtained would far more than compensate for the loss of the halted maritime trade.
Plunder is always a faster way to get money than trade, and any price can be paid in order to be able to take Fuso.
"Okay, let's do it. In times of war, everything must be at the service of war. Li Chen said categorically.
"Yes, Generalissimo." Du Bishu responded.
"Alright, let's go get ready. Seven days later, Vice Marshal Han will set off with his troops, and the supply of the army will be handed over to you. Li Chen commanded.
Li Chen's side is in full swing preparing to capture the Ryukyus first, and then use the Ryukyus as a springboard to attack Fuso. At this time, the Fuso Shogunate, the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Kamakura Shogunate, and the Muromachi Shogunate had all come out. A small Fuso, at this time the three parties combined, the number of dead and wounded is already more than 300,000.
The Tokugawa shogunate, as the greatest strength of Fuso, was known as an army of 800,000 to the outside world, but of course it is unknown how much water was in this 800,000 army. The Kamakura Shogunate claimed to have an army of 400,000 and the Muromachi Shogunate claimed to have an army of 200,000.
The combination of vertical and horizontal, the weak and the weak to resist the strong, this truth is naturally clear to these Fuso people who have been influenced by the Great Qin culture, so the entire form of Fuso has always been the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate united to fight against the Tokugawa Shogunate. But even in such a situation, before Li Chen intervened, the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate still couldn't lift their heads after being beaten by the Tokugawa Shogunate.
However, now it is different, after Li Chen's intervention. Thousands of cannons, three thousand artillery and a steady stream of artillery support. With Li Chen's assistance, now the Kamakura Shogunate, the Muromachi Shogunate has turned from a weak side to a strong side, and now the form of the Tokugawa Shogunate is a little dangerous.
For three whole months, since the arrival of Great Qin's artillery assistance. For three months, the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate were unforgiving, and they launched a three-month onslaught against the Tokugawa Shogunate.
These little Fusang people have no mercy in killing their own people. Throughout the day, the cannons roared, and countless people fell in pools of blood. Moreover, this barbarian is a barbarian in the end, and the beast wears a tuxedo and a bow tie, but he is still a beast.
The Fusang people, who were originally docile like obedient dogs in front of the Great Qin people, seemed to have completely changed their appearance after seeing blood at this time, killing all, robbing light, and burning all of them, such a main theme arose in Fusang.
Sanhondo, a famous county.
This is the territory of the Kamakura Shogunate, and Xu Fu has been here for some time, and he searches the chassis of the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate every day for precious herbs. Not to mention, maybe it's because of the temperature, on this Fusang Island, Xu Fu really found a lot of precious medicinal materials that Great Qin didn't have.
"Did you send back the medicinal herbs we found a few days ago to Your Majesty?" Xu Fu asked the little medicine boy beside him.
"It's been sent back." The little medicine boy replied.
