Chapter 779: The Second Prince Revolts 2
In the Imperial Palace of Kochi County, the Imperial Palace of Kochi County was built a few years after the second prince came, and the structure is similar to the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, which is much taller than the low palace building of the Japanese, and it is also refined a lot, and it looks very magnificent, but this Imperial Palace is now used as Zhao Hui's military camp in the Shikoku Mansion, and exists as his headquarters, even Prime Minister Yan can not live in, and he can only work in the low county office of the Japanese in Kochi County.
Prime Minister Yan knew what his identity was, and knew what his status was in the eyes of these Chinese soldiers, so he could only do the work of his prefect conscientiously, but he never got involved in any other power struggles, dispatching the people in the territory, building new water conservancy, opening up roads, managing Han immigrants and Southeast Asian natives, Nanyang indigenous immigrants, and the local Japanese people who were several times more than the Han people was his job.
For this reason, he also handed over all the guards in his hand, and then used the personal guards arranged by Zhao Hui for him, he has learned that all the official guards of the Huaxia Kingdom, the military generals' personal guards are uniformly arranged by the above, and no one can have private force, otherwise he will be convicted, and having private force is tantamount to rebellion.
When the little prince arrived, he received him, but the negotiation was directly led by Zhao Hui and some people from the Huaxia Kingdom, and he could only listen to it from the side.
"General Zhao, my father has received your request and sent me to negotiate with you." The little prince is very bullish.
Zhao Hui sneered: "Our request? We just don't want us Han people to kill each other, if you think we are begging you, then please go back, after a while, after the two field brigades of the regular army of my Huaxia Kingdom landed, we will no longer think of you as Han people, but traitors to the Han people, we treat traitors more cruelly than the enemy, if you don't believe it, you can stay and wait for our army to arrive. ”
"You, we still have 100,000 soldiers and horses, don't think that we can't break your turtle shell, if you have the ability, you will fight, we will still let your head in front of our turtle shell break the blood." After all, the little prince was young and vigorous, and he couldn't stand the slightest insult, so he jumped up and accused.
If this is the second prince, opening his mouth will not cause disputes at all, the Han people think that they are very capable people are turtles, ninjutsu is invincible, he will greet with a smile, and then speak softly, say a few words to mobilize Zhao Hui, let Zhao Hui wave his hand very easily, generously transfer people and materials for him, easily let them go, maybe they can get some weapons and equipment, this is the nature of the Chinese, eat soft not hard, want face, want face, and have no scheming.
Although Zhao Hui has been exercising for a short time, he has always been a military general before, running in the artillery camp all day long, crazy about artillery, and then accidentally admitted to the water division, only to go to the water division as a soldier, and then there are still people in the court who are good officials, and the promotion is fast, although Zhang Qiang has been suppressing this atmosphere in the Huaxia Kingdom, but looking at the face of his Lao Tzu's qualifications, the officers and soldiers of the water division must have given him all kinds of convenience, so he was promoted very quickly, from a small soldier, seven or eight years to the water division garrison.
When he led his troops to shell the coast of Japan, he made new contributions and was promoted to the rank of general of the naval division, the commander-in-chief of the naval division of the Lu State Garrison, and the naval division of the Xinlu garrison, becoming another general of the First Fleet.
At this time, he faced the Japanese and the second prince face to face, and at the same time mastered the soldiers of the Four Kingdoms Mansion, commanded the soldiers of the Xinlu Mansion, and the 20,000 regular army troops, 30,000 militiamen, and 30,000 servant troops stationed here by the third prince, and destroyed the enemy's 600,000 troops in two months, which made him promoted to the deputy general of the Naval Division, and then promoted to the same level as the commander of the First Fleet, the chief soldier of the Naval Division.
Now he is in control of 50 percent of the warships of the First Fleet of the Navy, the Naval Division Fleet of the Three Princes stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Naval Division Fleet of the Shinrofu Prefecture, and the Naval Auxiliary Fleet of the Shikoku Prefecture.
Although there are still many thousand-ton warships, the total scale is already about the same as the fifth and sixth fleets of the second-class naval fleet, and it can be said that after a fire sale, Zhang Qiang's Huaxia Kingdom naval fleet has been damaged due to the old ships and the huge number of fleets, and before there are no new warships to join, the Huaxia Kingdom naval division has actually declined.
In the face of the little prince's arrogance, Zhao Hui directly resisted the past, overpowering people, in his mind, the Huaxia Kingdom is powerful, the Huaxia Kingdom is powerful, no one can challenge the dignity of the Huaxia Kingdom, his face.
In the face of Zhao Hui's strength, the little prince still gave in after struggling, what can he do if he doesn't give in, seeing that his family is facing the situation of being wiped out like this, can he not give in?
"Then we need at least five hundred six-hundred-ton merchant ships to load our people, and at the same time we need at least twenty six-hundred-ton warships to cover the evacuation of our people, and of course we also need food, hundreds of thousands of people plus our troops, we definitely need a lot of food, I hope you can provide it." The little prince was very aggrieved and put forward his own conditions.
Zhao Hui sneered and said: "We only promise to let you go, you unconditionally disband your army, and then we won't stop you, you go wherever you like, this is the bottom line of negotiation given to me above, you choose." ”
The little prince shook his head, spat on the ground, got up and left, he was fed up.
This side did not stop him, no matter what he said, he was also the other party's negotiating envoy, and under normal circumstances, no one killed the envoy.
Prime Minister Yan felt that this was not good, how could he have served the little prince and his family for a while, and said in a low voice: "General Zhao, can this be accommodating, what we need is to solve the problem, not to make the problem impossible to solve, if we can't decide, we can report to the top." ”
Zhao Hui turned his head suddenly, looked at him coldly, Prime Minister Yan consciously shut up, he is a subordinate, sometimes there is a natural estrangement, can not be compared with the second generation of officials, naturally it is impossible to collide with Zhao Hui, judging from his experience as an official for so many years, and this kind of fierce general, the general fate of civil officials is to be killed by them impulsively, as a subordinate, he does not think that there will be people in the Huaxia Kingdom to stand up for him.
After he went back, he wrote his words into a recital, and asked a henchman to take this to the cabinet of Jinling Mansion on a merchant ship to report, this is his right, although Zhao Hui is in charge of the military, but the Huaxia Kingdom does not allow soldiers to interfere in politics, and civilian officials still have great rights and freedoms.
Soon after Gu Yuesheng arrived, he personally negotiated with the little prince, and soon reached an agreement to meet the requirements of the little prince, Gu Yuesheng knew that Zhang Qiang was already very impatient with the stalemate in the Siguo Mansion these days, and it was the right thing to deal with as soon as possible, and the things that could be solved with some money and materials were not a matter.
Give some old merchant ships, all of which are about to be sold to merchants, or merchant ships that have been sold to merchants, take them back, and exchange them with merchant ships that are more broken, anyway, the merchants of their own country, give them new merchant ships, and then pay taxes on the profits they create, and it will not take long for the lost profits to be earned back soon.
The average age of these merchant ships has reached twenty-one years, which is equivalent to the merchant ships that were manufactured by the Ming Dynasty at the time of the Jinhua Rebellion, all of which were from the ships of those Ming merchants, and the exchange to the merchants was to eliminate the merchant ships obtained from the Lu Jianguo during the Lu Jianguo period, and the age was about fifteen years, in fact, there was no difference at all except for the age.
Five hundred merchant ships were quickly assembled, and the quivering fishermen sailed to the port outside Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku, to stand by.
This time, he asked the Second Fleet to get 20 600-ton warships that had been renovated by the Huaxia Army in 123 years, the fastest speed was only 6 knots, and the slowest was 3 knots, and at the same time gave them some armed merchant ships that had captured the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the Portuguese, about 15 or so, all of which were resold many times, and the armed merchant ships that could still be driven after repair, about 300 tons, 180 tons, and 200 tons of ships of different sizes of the Tessians.
The first batch of ships to be delivered did not have any collateral, and in the dark they secretly let the little prince and their sailors sail to the hidden place of the harbor where they were, just out of sincerity, the three obsolete armed merchant ships were all 180-ton Portuguese Clark merchant ships, which the Japanese did not think of even if they knew, and thought they were hiding.
Everyone has some hole cards, and for some high-ranking officials, hiding some life-saving things, everyone knows it, and there is no need to say it.
So, one dark night, when the Japanese sent 200,000 troops to the front line again, preparing to attack the position defended by Zhao Hui, the second prince and the little prince mobilized several of his henchmen and generals, sent Jia Ding to supervise, and about 20,000 Han troops drove out of the barracks and secretly assembled behind the Japanese barracks, garrisons, docks, and defensive lines ready to attack.
They are useless to a single Japanese soldier, and when they are doing some secret and big things, everyone knows that they can rely on their own people, of course, their own people of the same clan and clan.
The Han people who can be taken away by the second prince and always follow the second prince are of course Han generals and soldiers who are worthy of the trust of the second prince and have various connections.
Two Japanese generals, Daho Sake and Kazuya Kyoyama, were the commanders in charge of the attack, and behind them was a Daimyo general of the Shimazu family, who was in command of the prefecture.
As a daimyo shogun, Shimazu Yamashita was getting drunk in his mansion, his Shimazu family was driven out of Kyushu Island and left on Honshu Island, like a fish out of water, bullied, this time because the Satsuma Domain Wada family was removed from his post and investigated, he was able to take over as the commander-in-chief here, and led troops to recover Shikoku Island, and the Tokugawa shogun had promised that if they could recover Shikoku Island, Shikoku Island would be their family's fief in the future, and it belonged to their Shimazu Daimyo's territory.
But this time he has been here for two months and still can't open the situation, General Tokugawa Ietsuna has sent the armies of other daimyo to help him, if he can't take Shikoku Island at the end of this month, he will also go back to be a wandering samurai, his family will be reduced to an inferior family, burdened with such an important family mission, his pressure is so great, for this he planned this night attack, a battle is decided, either these 500,000 Japanese soldiers die, or he dies, he has prepared the tools to commit suicide, Squinting drunken eyes for the first shot of the night.
