Chapter 778: The Second Prince's Uprising 1
The second prince has not had a good time these days, and since the Japanese have hardened up and forcibly taken over their battle with the other side, their life has been difficult day by day.
If they didn't have tens of thousands of Han people to support them, if they didn't still have 100,000 Japanese servant troops in their hands, they would have been chopped up by the Japanese and fed to fish, and when the Taixi people left, they forced the Japanese to use gold and silver, furs, life and death, Japanese knives, silver fans, tatami mats, and Japanese women to repay the debts they owed to the second prince, and the Japanese were regarded as being in league with the second prince because they had supported the second prince, and the Taixi people intensified their extortion of them. Before leaving, they also took the prisoners they had obtained from the battle between Shikoku Island and Sinro Province.
The Tessians had four merchant ships of three hundred tons, armed merchant ships, two Dutchman Caravel merchant ships, two Englishman galleons, and four six-hundred-ton Daifuku ships that the Japanese had obtained from the Qing Dynasty, and in addition to carrying their nearly two thousand for the training and education of the second prince and the instructors and soldiers of the Japanese troops, five hundred captives and one hundred women, as well as the gold, silver, and goods for their compensation.
The Japanese did not want to offend these Tessie instructors, so they could only pay them compensation and pay them the instructors and the weapons and ammunition that the Tessies would give them when they came, and they thought that the Tessies would bring them new weapons and ammunition next time.
The six ships spent 65 days bypassing the island state, venturing back to the South China Sea from the Pacific Ocean, resting for a week on a small island in the South China Sea, throwing the dead into the sea, washing the planks, and then continuing to sail when the wind changed, reaching the Indian Ocean, the British turned back to India, and the Dutch turned to Batavia, the whole journey lasted 181 days.
When they go back, the whole ship is nearly 4,000 people, and the remaining 2,800 people are dead, at this time the navigation is really the same foot into the area, if they can go through the Baodao Strait, the voyage will be less than half of the time, when driving on the shore, the wind and waves will be smaller, and you can find a harbor on the shore to shelter from the wind when you encounter a strong wind, but the Huaxia Navy Division blocked the coastal waters of the entire continent, and went out thousands of nautical miles to patrol, they were full of so many people and goods, they definitely could not fight hard with the Huaxia Army and Navy Division, and could only take a long detour.
Of course, the deaths and injuries of this team actually have something to do with the current second princes, that is, forcing the Japanese to compensate the second prince for the second prince and their money for buying weapons and ammunition and the money for instructor training, and then the Japanese continue to use this as an excuse to force the second prince to pay more, and the Japanese people in the territory of the second prince have been ruled by the second prince for a long time, and they have some hearts towards them, and the Japanese forced them to slowly transfer the people to the Japanese daimyo generals, and remove the Han officials they sent. At the same time, the Han Chinese were sold to them as slaves.
The second prince and the little prince are all hot-tempered, not to mention that they still have soldiers and horses, even if they don't have soldiers and horses, they can't cooperate well with the Japanese, so the two sides have been fighting back and forth for more than half a year, and at the same time, they have stumbled and cooperated for more than half a year, fighting with the soldiers of the Four Kingdoms under the command of Prime Minister Yan and Zhao Hui.
The second prince and the little prince, who were already familiar with Zhao Hui and their fights, were very cunning, their soldiers already had a certain amount of experience in charging, and they rushed out to know where to hide, and then waited for the Japanese cannon fodder to rush over, and then rushed out and followed behind, so in the crackling musket platoon on the opposite side, the Japanese cannon fodder in front trembled and fell to the ground, and the back saw that it was wrong, and immediately lay on the ground again.
Seeing where their comrades-in-arms, their own compatriots, the Japanese soldiers danced ballroom dances, and then fell to the ground like rags and died, while the opposing line of defense did not waver at all.
But on the other side, there is not only a volley of guns, but also artillery, the artillery is bombarded indiscriminately, even if you have experience, who can know whether this Anameasu god is defending them rebellious or defending authentic Japanese soldiers, so every charge there are always some soldiers of Shikoku who are unlucky and die, but most of the deaths are Japanese, who want to open a gap from the side of Shikoku Mansion and completely defeat the landing force and people of the Huaxia Kingdom.
After two months of such days, although the Japanese had sufficient troops and broke through to the positions of the Huaxia Army of Shikoku Prefecture many times, they underestimated the soldiers of Shikokufu, and the cannon fodder soldiers of Shikoku Prefecture did not need to be less than them, and those natives threw them some big swords and spears, and fought with them in their own positions, and they could still beat them out.
In the past two months, 50,000 cannon fodder, 10,000 militiamen, and 3,000 regular army soldiers have also died, and more than 20 artillery pieces have been damaged, and the position has been forced to compress and retreat for ten miles, which can cause a lot of casualties to the enemy, and the 600,000 troops of Japan and the second prince of Shikoku are mostly Japanese soldiers, and a small part are the troops of the second prince.
The second prince's troops suffered more than 50,000 injuries, seven or eight thousand cannon fodder died, more than 1,000 Han people died, and the number of people who fled increased, 400,000 people turned to the Japanese side, more than 10,000 people fled, and the rest were harmed by the Japanese soldiers in the thousands.
When he ruled Japan, he conquered more than 3 million people by force, and later added more than 4 million people who fled from Kagoshima and Kyushu Island, but there were not many people who were really loyal to him, they were all forced, and the only real allegiance was the 50,000 Japanese soldiers he recruited at the beginning, as well as the families of the servant army, and the rest of the Japanese people were watching the excitement.
Now that the war has been fought to this extent, due to the intervention of the Japanese, the Japanese people on Denios Island have chosen to be loyal to him, which has to be said to be ironic.
Because the Han people will not be kind to their own people in the land of the Han people, they are all high, and the second prince came here in order to gain a firm foothold, and they had to be kind to the Japanese people and hold them high, but the Japanese people were afraid of their force and forced to submit, and they did not do less things to betray them behind their backs, and even some people were worried and kept dragging their families to flee to Japan's Honshu Island, the territory of the Japanese.
Now these people are tightly united around them, becoming a barrier to protect them, otherwise the troops of the second prince and the little prince, who lack food and clothing, guns and ammunition, would have been swallowed up by the Japanese long ago.
The fate of them and the Han people will definitely not be good, the Japanese have looked down on the Han people since ancient times, how can they be good to them, in the process of unity between the two sides, there are still thousands of Han people who were captured by the Japanese under various pretexts, enslaved, and even sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, the second prince and the little prince, as well as their Han officials, the generals have been unbearable.
But they really didn't dare to fight with the Japanese, because there was a more powerful Shiguo Mansion of the Huaxia Kingdom behind them, although the Shiguo Mansion was now autonomous and did not belong to the Huaxia Kingdom, and even the non-core areas of the Huaxia Kingdom had not entered, but they did not dare to fight the Japanese, in case the wolf was driven before and the tiger was introduced, it would be different.
However, the situation is about to change, Zhang Qiang doesn't want the Japanese to rely on the Shikoku Mansion anymore, the Shikoku Mansion wants to develop, and it can't fight with the Japanese anymore, and the Xinlu Mansion on the opposite side has developed at a high speed.
The Japanese in Xinlu Province were naturalized, and the Japanese who did not accept naturalization were taken away by the rapid immigration and sold to Zheng Chenggong, so that Zheng Chenggong could control them and open up Australia.
The county seat of the county seat of Denios Island is still the residence and office of the second prince, there are many Japanese samurai and the samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, officials, and daimyo generals are wandering, the second prince They have no money to hand over to the Taixi people, the Japanese forcibly went to the island on the grounds of helping them settle their arrears, the second prince They did not intercept them, they can't intercept them, they can't intercept them, they can't intercept it, since they want to fight with the Chinese, they are too late to be happy, how can they stop it, For months, I watched them fight with the soldiers of Shikokufu.
The second prince handed over a letter to the little prince, who looked down for a while, looked up and said, "Father, do you accept the conditions of the Huaxia Kingdom?" ”
The second prince's eyes were a little desolate, "What can we do if we don't accept it, we are already at the end of the crossbow, if we don't accept it, the Huaxia army will land, and we can only end up defeated and killed." Do you have any other way? ”
The little prince clenched his fists with some anger and sat down in his chair for a long time, "I can only promise them, but we have to take away these Japanese people who are loyal to us, as well as the Han people." This is the capital of our comeback, I heard that my uncle and they went to Nanyang, so where do we go? ”
The second prince said: "We can only go to Nanyang, there are countless Han people in Nanyang, which is the basis of our unity, and others are not credible, we are a Han country after all, I heard that the natives of Nanyang are more fierce, if there are no Han people, we are likely to be killed and looted by the natives, and it is impossible to be destroyed with our strength, but it will not be too good, after all, the natives still have the help of the Taixi people, and we will have to swing between the aborigines and the Taixi people in the future." ”
The little prince sighed, "That's also stronger than facing the Huaxia Kingdom, the Huaxia Kingdom is too powerful for us to fight against them." ”
The second prince said: "In this case, you go to contact their leader, General Zhao Hui, and go to meet Prime Minister Yan, how do you say that everyone will have a game, he will definitely help, we can get some more people, and the strength of where we go will be higher." ”
"I will be a father." The little prince nodded in agreement, and then turned around and took two Han officials of the Shikoku Kingdom to contact the Shikoku officials on Shikoku Island.
