Chapter 425: War
Maeda Toshiya looked at the military formation of the Ming army, the expression on his face was very serious, this battle is not successful, and Maeda Toshiya has thought about it before he came. Even if they can't defeat the Ming army, they must inflict enough casualties on the Ming army, so that they don't have the ability to attack the main island, and it is better not to even have the ability to continue advancing.
But after seeing the military formation of the Ming Dynasty, Maeda Toshiya suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.
Although I have heard it said before that the Ming army is strong, and the Maeda Toshiya has also prepared in his heart, but now that he has really seen the military formation of the Ming army, Maeda Toshiya knows how wrong his idea is. But at this time, Maeda Toshiya also knew that it was not time to hesitate.
"Herald, go to war!" Maeda Toshiya said loudly.
With Maeda Toshiie's words, the vanguard army of the Japanese began to rush towards the Ming army's military formation.
In the face of such a military formation, the Ming army is completely true, and the tiger squat cannon once again came in handy, as the existence of a dense military formation, the tiger squat cannon can be said to be used by the Ming army is superb. Suddenly the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, artillery fires, and shouts of killing.
Zhang Weixian looked into the distance in the middle of the military formation, put down the binoculars in his hand and said: "These people are not as good as the Japanese in North Korea. ”
Because of the reason why he fought so much with the Japanese in Korea, Zhang Weixian naturally knew about the Japanese invaders, and when he saw the Japanese army formation at this time, Zhang Weixian knew that the Japanese here were not as good as the Japanese in North Korea. Zhang Weixian can't talk about disappointment, he just said that the weaker the Japanese are, the better.
"Order Li Rusong to rush forward as soon as possible and rush up to break the formation!" Zhang Weixian said to the military command beside him.
With Zhang Weixian's order, the Ming army's formation also began to advance, with the shield bearer in front, the musketeer in the back, and the archers to kill. The two armies approached quickly, and the shield hand of the Ming began to throw grenades, and the powerful grenades were really big killers, especially when the other party did not have them.
After a round of grenades, the Japanese had a posture of collapse, and the Ming army took the opportunity to press up.
"Order, outflank the left and right wings, don't let the pirates escape!" Zhang Weixian said at one time.
As the order passed down, the Ming troops on the left and right flanks also moved, pressing up towards the Japanese army formation, and then a massacre broke out. Although the Japanese were not afraid of death, in the face of the Ming army equipped with light plate armor, the killing and damage were very limited. On the side of the Ming army, there were musketeers with bayonets, or archers with ultra-long range and high accuracy, and the two sides were not opponents of the same magnitude at all.
In the military formation of the Ming army, Cao Wenzhao picked up a bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at Maeda Toshiya, who had been shouting.
As a very accurate archery in the army, Cao Wenzhao's arrow naturally did not lose its level, and the arrow shot directly into Maeda Toshiya's chest and directly penetrated his armor. Maeda Toshiie glanced down at the arrow in his chest, his face full of surprise, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
With the death of Maeda Toshiie, this battle has come to an end, and the rest is to be settled.
Whether it is the Ming army or the Korean army, they are good at clearing the Japanese invaders, and this battle array beheaded more than 60,000 Japanese invaders, captured more than 10,000 people, and the rest fled. However, it is believed that they will not be able to escape for too long, and under the search of the Ming army and the Korean army, where can they escape.
After this battle, the entire Kyushu was basically settled, and the Ming Dynasty completely occupied Kyushu Island.
It's just that the expedition continues, but it is not the Ming army that attacked, but the North Korean army.
The same burning, killing and looting, the same killing of all the men, all the women brought back, although the Japanese were defeated, but the Ming army did not mean to stop at all. The North Korean army, in particular, was simply crazy, and such killings were only slightly reduced after the Ming fleet reached Kyushu.
Fukugang, here is the name given by Zhang Weixian, replacing the name of Chikuzen, which means the port of blessings.
As the port of the Ming army to land on the Ming Army, it has become the military base of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Weixian named this place Fugang, I don't know whether it is the port of blessing of the Ming army, or that the Ming army can land from here, which is the blessing of the land of the Ming Dynasty.
These are not so important, anyway, a large port will be built here, which will become the station of the Great Ming Sailor.
Zhang Weixian came here in person today, mainly to welcome the governor of the Wa State, that is, Zhao Lian, because Zhao Lian brought Zhu Yijun's holy decree to Zhang Weixian.
Zhao Lian was accompanied by the trading fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and the ships docked in the port, and Zhang Weixian soon met Zhao Lian. Zhang Weixian has heard of Zhao Lian's name, this is a ruthless person. The big case that was set off in Jiangnan back then was a lot of murder, and everyone knew that Zhao Lian was a knife in the emperor's hand.
Obviously, with the prestige and means of His Majesty today, he naturally disdains to kill Zhao Lian to appease anyone, and all those who are not convinced are dead.
This time, Zhao Lian came to the Wa Kingdom, which represents a signal that His Majesty wants to threaten the Wa Kingdom.
"Lord Zhao!"
"Master Zhang!"
Although the two didn't know each other, they still greeted each other very politely after meeting, with a smile on their faces. There is no contradiction between the two people, and they still need to cooperate in the next period of time, and the two of them are naturally smiling, and the two of them walked into the station with a smile along the way.
After entering the room, Zhao Lian took out a secret decree and said with a smile: "This is a secret decree from His Majesty to Lord Zhang. ”
After Zhang Weixian saluted respectfully, he opened the holy decree, and after reading the secret decree, Zhang Weixian put away the secret decree.
The content of the secret decree is very simple, the first is to ask Zhang Weixian to cooperate with Zhao Lian, and the second is to ask Zhang Weixian to strictly investigate the slave trade and not allow a Japanese man to enter the Ming Dynasty. The reason given by Zhu Yijun is very simple, the Ming Dynasty does not need men from the Wa Kingdom, let them work in the Wa Kingdom.
This is actually Zhu Yijun's special intention, first of all, there is no shortage of labor in the Ming Dynasty, because the population of the Daimyo is sufficient, and solving the employment problem is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty.
Letting the Japanese male slaves in, the merchants will choose cheap Japanese slaves will rob the jobs of the Ming people, and during this period, Zhu Yijun will never allow this kind of thing to happen. Zhu Yijun is thinking about liberating part of the people of the Ming Dynasty from the land and entering the workshop or going into business.
This is different from the slave trade in the United States, where they lack labor, and the Ming Dynasty does not lack it, the situation is different.
Zhu Yijun is pushing the employment system and abolishing slaves, which is irreversible, how could Zhu Yijun let the slaves of the Japanese Kingdom disrupt the situation at this time. In addition, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom has just started, and the danger of male slaves is too high, and the ghost knows what to mix in, Zhu Yijun will not let this unstable factor enter the Ming Dynasty.
