Chapter 321: Korean Volunteers vs. Japanese Samurai

In the blink of an eye, it has entered May, and Zheng Zhilong has once again set foot in Jinmen. He didn't feel the slightest hardship, the army went north along the canal and conquered many places in Cangzhou successively, so everything was so logical.

The soldiers and horses sent back by Duoduo had already arrived in Baoding, but this did not have the slightest effect on his next move.

After converging the soldiers and horses of Jinmen, Zheng Zhilong already had 30,000 men under his command, and when Zheng Hongkui's army outside the pass turned back, he could dispatch more than 50,000 Zheng troops and hundreds of cannons.

Zheng Zhilong believed that this was a force that the Tartars could not resist.

Because part of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still outside the pass, thousands of miles away, even the Ma army ran day and night, and there was no warship running fast.

Not to mention that Zheng Hongkui would not shout loudly at the Tartars before withdrawing his troops.

Moreover, Shanhaiguan was grasped by Zheng Jun, and the Tartar soldiers and horses could only walk through the grassland, that is, the Gubei Road in the Liaojin period earlier, from Yanjing to the north, through Shunyi and Miyun, and crossed the Chaohe River through Gubeikou in the north, crossed the Luanhe River in the northeast of Luanping, and inserted the Han River Loop (later Pingquan County) in the east, crossed the Yanshan Mountains, folded east along the west bank of the upper reaches of the Laoha River, and went to the northeast along the Daling River. But now there are Zheng Jun's small warships fluttering on the Liao River, and it is not a simple matter for the Tartars to cross the Liao River waterway.

These are all obstacles that hinder the speed of their retracement.

Zheng Zhilong felt that he had enough time to fight a dozen Yanjing, even if the infantry of the brigade that had returned from Guanzhong had already rushed back to Yanjing.

He has no less than 50,000 Zheng troops, so why be afraid?

Now Zheng Zhilong is waiting for when Zheng Hongkui will lead the troops back.

……

In the south of Jinmen City, Zheng military camps stand majestically.

Since Zheng Zhilong led the men and horses to Jinmen, this place has become a huge barracks.

With the battalion as the system, the barracks covered the southern city of Jinmen, and among these barracks, two camp heads were so eye-catching.

Lin Qingye stood in front of the volunteer barracks, his eyes looking at the nearby camp of the standing team, his eyes full of hostility.

It has only been 40 or 50 years since Japan invaded Korea, and the hostility between the two sides is still very strong. Especially in Zheng Zhilong's team, the volunteers from Korea and the forward team from Japan are the only two foreign soldiers and horses, and they have a kind of competition with each other. Now that they have entered the national enmity, the hostility between them is even stronger.

(The black soldiers are not foreign soldiers, because they have no nationality at all, they can only be said to be domain soldiers)

"General Lin-" Shen Jingrong's voice came into Lin Qingye's ears, and he turned his head to look, "Joining the army is coming?" "This Shen Jingrong was selected to the General Staff Division, and he is one of the people who have been trained by Shen Qiyuan and his party.

"The big war is coming, the athletes are about to rush to the battlefield, I can't do anything about it, I can only send a few truckloads of wine and meat, be careful." Shen Jingrong sighed with emotion. Not far behind him, a cart full of pigs, sheep and wine was slowly approaching.

Zheng Zhilong is going to attack Yanjing directly, how can the Manchus retreat? If you come to fight like this, it will be tragic. And the soldiers in Lin Qingye's battalion are all the roots and seedlings of North Korea, and they have high hopes for Shen Qiyuan, but after this war, they don't know how many people will be left.

Different from Shen Jingrong's emotion, Lin Qingye was shocked when he heard this, "Is it finally going to start?" "Attack Yanjing!

"The clipper sent by the four generals has arrived at Jinmen, and his soldiers and horses will arrive in a few days, and Zheng Guogong will fight out first. There's no need to wait for the army to assemble before leaving. "Zheng Zhilong has already reached out to Emperor Chongzhen to ask for the prince, but this will definitely not be delivered until he finishes this fight.

"Assi. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Join the army, please rest assured, and please also tell His Excellency the Fuyuan Jun (Shen Qiyuan) that our volunteers will tell the slaves next door to have a good understanding of what a real warrior is. ”

can fight Tartar, Lin Qingye is willing to die. But if he can't suppress the Japanese next door with his outstanding performance on the battlefield, Lin Qingye will not be blind to death.

But can the Korean Volunteers really overwhelm the Japanese team? Does he know what the psychology of these poor jingle samurai of the Japanese Advance Team is like? They are a completely different team from the Korean volunteers.

"The second purpose of my coming today is to tell you about the situation of the Japanese team, and I hope that the general will not be rash and lose the precious lives of the soldiers needlessly!"

Shen Jingrong's words made Lin Qingye's face immediately change, "What nonsense are you talking about?" What is senseless? How can it be pointless for the Koreans to defeat the Japanese slaves? ”

Lin Qingye, who was born as a Korean general, still has a national consciousness in his heart and is very hostile to the Japanese.

"It's not about losing to the Japanese, it's about preserving our own strength. You know the origins of some of these volunteers, who are precious seeds that grow into stout trees if they have time to grow. They are the pillars of North Korea's future. Shen Jingrong said very calmly. But what are the Japanese? ”

"These people are worthless poor ghosts, they have nothing but a rotten life. Many Japanese samurai who were sent to China even pawned their ancestral swords, and they were nothing but their own small lives to fight. So they are happy to die on the battlefield, because then their families can be reborn in the shortest possible time! ”

Using the precious volunteer soldiers to compare with the worthless Japanese standing up team, Shen Jingrong has a sense of porcelain touching stones.

Lin Qingye wants to compete with the Japanese advance team on the battlefield, and what will be risked is the lives of the righteous soldiers.

"It's not worth it, it's really not worth it."

As for the 'national glory' in Lin Qingye's eyes, Shen Jingrong didn't think so. What glory is not glorious, they are now the thieves of North Korea, not to mention that no matter how glorious they are, in the eyes of Zheng Jun, isn't that what they are.

These people have already used "Li Liang" to express their firm anti-Qing position, although Zheng Zhilong is now almost a rebel minister of the Ming Dynasty, but the bad people are still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. At least among the Manchus and Hans, they have already chosen a side with their own feet.

In this case, there is no need to 'fight' with the Japanese slaves anymore.

It's not worth it, it's not necessary!

The existence of the two sides is simply incomparable.

One is the hope of Shen Qiyuan, and the other is Japan's dispensable.

As far as the Tokugawa shogunate is concerned, I am afraid that the shogun would prefer that all the Japanese samurai who came to China would be doomed!

"Nope." Lin Qingye was silent for a while before he spoke again, his eyes shining: "They are dispensable to the shogunate, and they don't matter. They are poor and have only one life left, but they still have their own nationality. ”

Nationality is a new word that Lin Qingye learned after coming to Zheng Jun, which is very similar to 'hometown' at first glance, but the differences are also distinct.

No matter how poor and cheap these Japanese samurai who stood up, they are also Japanese. Think about how miserable they were beaten by little devils in the Battle of North Korea back then. It is a huge country, and there are 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers, but it has been penetrated by people from south to north in a month!

Shame on you.

Shame on you.

Even if there was a Yi Sunsin in the war, it could only be regarded as a fig leaf.

North Korea in this era is not a great thing for later generations, and it has not yet said nonsense with its face open. The North Koreans know very well who the main force of the Korean campaign is.

This point can be known only by looking at his Lin Qingye's actions and Shen Qiyuan's actions.

The Korean monarchs and ministers and the people are grateful to the Ming Dynasty for China, and now they are not the cosmic country that turns their faces and does not recognize people and is full of nonsense.

Shen Jingrong failed to convince Lin Qingye, the latter even held a mobilization meeting on the eve of the expedition, and after the whole army ate and drank, the entire volunteer army camp was full of shouts of 'full stuffing', which can be said to be full of morale.

This is not the case with the Japanese team across the village. Their camp was filled with a sense of parting and reluctance. There were even people who sang a sad waka. asked Lin Qingye to listen to it in his ears and just wanted to laugh, and he realized that in this wordless competition, he had already won.

However, when the soldiers and horses started the next day, Lin Qingye looked at the solemn and speechless queue of the Japanese advance team, and looked at such an expressionless face, but his heart suddenly shivered.

Are these things you see still alive?

How can you imagine it like the person lying on the coffin board?

Yubi Zhengxue glanced indifferently at Lin Qingye on the tall horse, and then led the forward team to continue to pull out, they were the vanguard of the army.

Don't look at the two of them are battalion officers, both leading a battalion of soldiers, but the identities between the two are absolutely incomparable.

These Japanese samurai led by Hi Zhengxue are a knife in Zheng Zhilong's hands, and they can only be knives.

But Lin Qingye was respected by the Chinese as a general, and even Zheng Zhilong treated him with courtesy.

In comparison, he, the orthodox successor of Nanmu (Nanmu Zhengcheng) who came from Japan and integrated the art of war with the Han family, did not see much respect in the eyes of Zheng Jun.

If his appointment as a battalion officer of the Standing Team can be regarded as a kind of realization of respect, then there is still one.

Yubi Masayuki doesn't think there's anything.

Isn't it his luck that he can become a battalion officer in the standing team? Zheng Zhilong still treats him very favorably. You must know that the earliest proposed battalion officer was Kenji Ono's younger brother.

When he was in Edo, he talked to various soldiers, and he often had daimyo and banners to listen to his lectures, and when they saw him, they all called him "teacher", but in essence, he was still a very ordinary samurai.

Yubi Masayuki criticized some of the policies of the Tokugawa shogunate, and also rejected the Tokugawa shogunate's 5,000 stone official conditions, and thus won the support of the ronin, and accepted a large number of disciples.

But that's just listening to his nagging, which is very different from the feeling of directly holding the military power in his hands like now.

Yubi Zhengxue, who has squandered forty years of his life, now enjoys this feeling of real power.

As for the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the soldiers of the forward team behind him, Yubi Zhengxue didn't care at all. Just by looking at the faces of all of them now, you can see how strong their will to fight is.

Fight to the death, and then let the family escape from the hellfire called 'Japan'.

As long as they died valiantly fighting for Zheng's army, their families were eligible to emigrate to Luzon, where fertile land was said to be everywhere and there was nothing lacking but a shortage of people. Compared with the death and sacrifice in battle, they can also exchange their outstanding military exploits for the immigration of their families, but the conditions seem to be a bit harsh, and it is more effective to give up a life.

Or they immigrated to Ezo Land, which was named Hokkaido, but the territory of Tagawa Nanaemon was said to have a large vacant land, although it was a little colder. The soldiers and horses left behind by Zheng Zhilong have already conquered all the Ezo people near the Ishikari River.

And the future of Tagawa Nanazaemon is very bright in the eyes of all Japanese people. Not to mention that he is also the son-in-law of the Ming Emperor, and his son has the blood of the Ming royal family. With this alone, although Tagawa Nanazaemon was still nominally a daimyo without a stone height like the Matsumae Domain, his status was definitely the most honorable under the shogun.

Yubi Masayuki, who has always had a certain connection with Japan, knows very well that after the news of Tagawa Nanazaemon marrying Princess Daming reached Japan, his official position has changed from the fifth to the fourth, Hokkai Mamoru and Zuo Konoe. This is a status that only the first-class powerful feudal clan is qualified to have. However, when the news spread, there was no half-slander in Japan.

Therefore, whether it is Luzon or Hokkaido, it is much better than Japan, which is in dire straits.

Therefore, will the players behind him be afraid of death?

It's really hehe.

I'm afraid that some people can't wait to crash into the gun even if they don't die. He dared to guarantee that after this battle, the number of battle losses of the standing team was much higher than that of the injured and disabled.

But Yubi Zhengxue believes that this is a process of big waves and sand, and as long as he is patient, he will always be able to see 'gold'. And this gold is his real goal!

Japan Kutokugawa for a long time. He came to wash the world by being more than Zhengxue!
