Chapter 877: Hokkaido is left

The two of them are plotting the third prince Hong Tian Cannon, and what about Hong Tian Cannon?

While watching the wealth in his treasury becoming more and more abundant, he listened to the consumption of Goguryeo.

On the Goguryeo side, he shot 300,000 soldiers and horses, and within a few days he took Jeollanam-do, which was originally the territory of a kingdom before Goguryeo Peninsula and Goguryeo was not unified, called Silla, Silla Kingdom, but a part.

After the southern province was taken, it encountered trouble, the Manchu cavalry harassed, the Goguryeo soldiers harassed, the soldiers and horses could not stabilize here step by step, it took a year, killed a lot of people, almost killed the people here, drove them away, and stabilized here, and then he moved a part of the indigenous people of Southeast Asia and the Japanese people here, occupied this land, which allowed the soldiers and horses to gain a firm foothold.

Because there is a Huaxia army towing on the Japanese side, Japan did not come to him for trouble, and there are sailors patrol ships of the Huaxia Army on the sea, so the sea passage is also very safe, after all, although the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Huaxia Kingdom have suspended military cooperation, everyone's affection is still there, and they are still allies, so they did not make trouble with each other, and they helped each other.

It was useless to gain a foothold in South Silla Province, and if North Silla Province did not occupy the beach on the other side of the mountain and make this stretching island together, their flanks and backs would always be attacked by the Qing cavalry of North Silla Province, and at the same time, the Goguryeo troops could also attack South Province through mountain paths, or directly occupy South Province.

So now the entire Ryukyu Kingdom that landed in Goguryeo is busy dealing with the harassment and attacks of the enemy in the northern province, and the combat experience of the army is not very rich, because the Ryukyu Kingdom is now rising in a commercial atmosphere, so most of the Han nobles are merchants, and the people who fight are the natives of Southeast Asia and the Japanese, and a small number of low-level Han generals who are not willing, and the senior generals usually do not see one, and they all hide in Jeju Island to command.

In this case, how much war spirit can the natives have, how high morale, because the Ryukyu Kingdom was influenced by the Huaxia Kingdom, so treating these natives is to be arrogant and instructive, treating them as second-class people, so not to mention how much combat effectiveness there is, the results can be achieved completely by surprise attacks, plus the number of people is crushed, plus the weapons are advanced, and the Ryukyu Kingdom with a strong commercial atmosphere is not short of materials and supplies, food and clothing.

After several years of hard work, the Hongtian artillery has risen through commerce, repaid the loans and aid of the Huaxia Army, and reorganized the naval division that suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Japanese and Qing troops, and now it is also a large naval division with more than 300 warships and 7800 armed merchant ships.

It is indeed a big country, now in this sea area, in addition to the Huaxia Army, only he has so many warships and warships, the strength of the sea is even incomparable to the Spaniards who have suffered heavy losses in a row, if they go further west, the British losses are not big, after supplementation, there are also a lot of combat effectiveness, the Dutch losses are too great, the Huaxia Army and Naval Division almost caught them and chased them to death, chasing them with no way to go to the sky, no way to go down, and the Dutch did not dare to run to the Indian Ocean.

Instead, he went to Australia to contact the Zheng family.

Hong Tianpao asked his master here, how can he defeat Goguryeo, so that his Ryukyu Kingdom or his Hong family can set foot on the mainland land again?

The master is very helpless, he knows better than Hong Tianpao in his heart, you are supported by the Chinese Kingdom, if there is no Chinese Kingdom, you are nothing, don't look at the current you have five or six hundred thousand soldiers and horses, with a population of more than four million, but half of them are Japanese people, less than half of them are Han people, and they are all old and young, and most of them are Southeast Asian people, these are all refugees, and the people you bought from the Huaxia Kingdom, they are not loyal to you.

It's good to develop on a small island with peace of mind, and it is good to occupy a few small islands, if you dare to pay attention to the mainland, you are guaranteed to be troubled by the Huaxia army, or directly send troops to destroy it.

In the past, Japan had a population of 50 million, and there were as many as 1,000 daimyo generals and hundreds of shoguns in various places, and there were millions of soldiers and horses in various places, but now, I heard that the population was only 2 or 3 million, and the soldiers and horses were only 300,000.

Master didn't know why His Majesty of the Huaxia Kingdom hated the Japanese so much, and he had to destroy them, and the people would not let them exist, he thought about the next step, the Huaxia Army would definitely clean up the Japanese in the Ryukyu Kingdom, so where would the Ryukyu Kingdom go?

But he didn't dare to say these words to Hong Tianpao, this person, once he has achieved some achievements, it is easy to lose himself, now Hong Tianpao, you can follow his thoughts and say, you can't disobey him, otherwise the end will be very miserable, become a second-class citizen, and then live in a grass hut, live a miserable life, the master doesn't want to let himself and his family fall into that fate, maybe he will be sent to Goguryeo as cannon fodder.

He just said a few innocuous words, and then left, Hong Tianpao had already made a decision in his heart, and now arbitrariness is Hong Tiancang's label, and his master is just a decoration.

Hong Tian Pao walked around, and soon he called a few of his generals to discuss how to open the situation, but there was always no way, seeing that Goguryeo was in a dead end, they relied on cannon fodder to fight, and the tactics of fighting with advanced weapons could not make Goguryeo, which had an obvious population advantage than them, submit to it, and they could not fight a war of attrition with Goguryeo.

What was the population of Goguryeo before?

That's a population of 23 million, and the development has been good in recent years, although there is exploitation and oppression by the Qing army, the population has still grown a lot, and it has reached more than 30 million people.

In addition, in these years, they have fled to the Qing army to Ningguta unbearable Han people, Manchu people, fled to the past, there are two or three million people, the Japanese have been constantly attacked by the Huaxia army in the past two years, many Japanese have also fled to Goguryeo, there are also two or three million people, so to speak, Goguryeo has a population of nearly 40 million, so many people are soldiers and horses casually organized, with the help and assistance of the Qing army, Goguryeo soldiers and horses are not lagging behind.

Even if you fight with them as cannon fodder, you can kill the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Four million people versus 40 million people, this is an inexplicable matter.

Hong Tianpao was very depressed.

In particular, after each family valued the advantages of the trenches, the Japanese brought the trenches to Goguryeo, so that the battle could not be solved by cannon fodder alone.

Brother Zhu's method of use, that is based on the Chinese army as the backing, with the Chinese Han population of more than 200 million as the backer, people are not afraid of your rebellion, if you can't kill yourself, for the main population is the Japanese people and the indigenous population of Southeast Asia, if the oppression is extreme, will they smash the 5,000 Janissaries around them, 50,000 Han troops, and then throw themselves into the sea, and the Ryukyu Kingdom will become another country for the Japanese.

The natives of Southeast Asia do not have such great ambitions and needs, but the Japanese do, and they are full of talents, and they seem very weak in front of the powerful Chinese Kingdom, but in the Ryukyu Kingdom, which is weaker than their crippled strength, people may have been thinking about him for a long time.

Hong Tianpao touched his head, and suddenly he thought of the Huaxia Kingdom, and thought of Japan's last territory, Hokkaido, yes, there is also a Hokkaido, and he can't get Goguryeo, so it's good to occupy Hokkaido first, anyway, the Huaxia Kingdom has a vast land, maybe he doesn't care about that bit of territory, such a barren and very cold place is chicken ribs for Huaxia, but for the Ryukyu Kingdom with a small territory, it is a piece of fat.
