Chapter 907: Awakening
I have to say that in this regard, Hong Tiancang, who was able to win in the previous battles for the throne and persevered, has a hand and a ruthless heart.
The Japanese are the main ethnic group, the Han Chinese are only 200,000, the Japanese have 1.3 million, the other islands have more than 100,000, and Jeju Island has 300,000.
It can be said that as long as Amami Island is laid, then Hongtian Cannon can be regarded as mastering the domestic situation.
Amami Island is also relatively crowded, the new Chinese Kingdom immigrants only 100,000 people, the militia self-defense force formed 5,000 soldiers and horses, no training, by the local Han garrison of the Ryukyu Kingdom here to train and distribute weapons and equipment, just formed, training for a few days.
There are not many Han garrisons here, but only 10,000, including 2,000 naturalized soldiers and horses of the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty and 1,000 naturalized soldiers and horses of Mongolia.
In addition, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses of the indigenous servants of Southeast Asia, and 200,000 people.
The Japanese servant army had 100,000 people, and they were originally quite obedient, but after the Japanese daimyo came to instigate it, it became polarized here.
Some of them are timid and afraid of things, yes, in fact, the Japanese are also people, why are they all the kind of people who are tenacious and not afraid of death appear in front of the Chinese people, and those who are not afraid of death appear in everyone's sight, because the Chinese people treat the Japanese too much as human beings and mythologize them.
This part of the people decided to stand still, resolutely not to fight against the Ryukyu Kingdom, compared to going to the Kingdom of China to eliminate all the Japanese, using them not soldiers, but cannon fodder, in fact, the Ryukyu Kingdom previously attached more importance to them, because the previous Japanese servant army was better than the Southeast Asian servant army to fight, dare to fight, Hong Tian Cannon liked them very much.
However, the Japanese exceeded the suppressive capacity of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the deterrence was insufficient, coupled with the instigation of conspirators, the Japanese servant army became a disaster.
It can be said that the Japanese occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom with population.
Now the Hongtian cannon is making up for this loss, mistake.
As soon as he arrived on Amami Island, he immediately took over the Southeast Asian servant army barracks, and incorporated the 15,000 Southeast Asian servant troops he brought into the original barracks to form the Amami Island unit of the Southeast Asian servant army.
The number of troops reached 70,000.
30,000 Han soldiers and horses, plus the newly formed militia self-defense force troops, the Han soldiers and horses are only 35,000 troops, but the Hongtian cannon brought elite soldiers and horses.
Thus began a battle to expel the Southeast Asian servant army and attack the Japanese servant army camp.
There were also people in the Japanese servant army who were willing to remain loyal to him, but they were quickly frightened by his attack.
There were 20,000 Japanese who took off their military uniforms and fled, hiding among the people, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three parts, stationed in three places on the island, because of the command of the daimyo general, these Japan were very arrogant, and they also stubbornly resisted to the ground, and the attack of the 30,000 Southeast Asian servant army only eliminated 5,000 Japanese servant troops, and was defeated, and then 2,000 were killed by the Mongolian cavalry of the overseer behind them, and then continued to be incorporated into the death squad, and attacked the Japanese garrison of 30,000 people in the middle of the Japanese island.
After repeated attacks, more than 24,000 of the 30,000 Southeast Asian servant troops were killed and wounded, and the remaining 6,000 were withdrawn.
Morale was very low.
And the Japanese were not very comfortable, with 30,000 troops, more than 10,000 auxiliary Japanese people, 8,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and 5,000 people, and their morale was also low.
However, Hong Tiancang found that there were cannons in their camp, and he didn't know that the bastard sold them was actually the standard Huaxia Army cannons supplied by the Huaxia Army that they were equipped with, from three-pounder guns to nine-pounder guns, everything, according to the number of statistics, there were as many as a hundred, although the three-pounder guns were the mainstay, but it also surprised him very much, he had never equipped the servant army with artillery, the artillery was all equipped by Han soldiers, or only his descendants.
Even the elite units of the Japanese servant army that he used to value were only equipped with Qing army artillery such as general guns, guns, and tiger squat cannons that they had retired and captured from the enemy, and there had never been any standard artillery.
However, there is no way to track it down now, he knows that there must be many people in his government who are engaged in this kind of business, and if he investigates, his kingdom will fall apart in an instant, because the one who can smuggle important military equipment such as cannons must be his army or high-ranking officials in the court.
If you fall out with them, don't think about ending a good death.
"Go and grab some Japanese people, let them rush in front, and transfer the remaining 2,000 Southeast Asian servant troops who can still fight in the back, and serve as a warlord in the back. If you go and transfer 10,000 Southeast Asian servant troops, you must take the enemy's camp today, and let the 5,000 militia also follow behind as a reserve to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. ”
Hong Tian Cannon has commanded the battle.
A few days later, 10,000 Southeast Asian servant troops were drawn from other battlefields, and those battlefields could only be surrounded, not attacked, and he had previously wanted to attack the enemy in three ways, but now it seemed that he could only uproot the enemy's camp all the way.
After the transfer, the Japanese people who were recruited also came, this time the young and strong in the front, the old and weak in the back, it is estimated that the whole family has brought, if the young and strong do not rush, cut the old and weak, to let 2,000 Southeast Asian servant troops supervise the war 30,000 Japanese young and strong, and more than 40,000 of their families is simply impossible work, but there are 5,000 militia guards behind the family, and the indigenous servant army in Southeast Asia can supervise the war of 30,000 Japanese young and strong.
The attack began this time Hongtian Artillery reversed the previous stingy move of not using artillery support for the servant army, first shelled the enemy's defense line with artillery before the beginning, and then learned from the Huaxia Army to extend artillery fire to block the enemy's reinforcements, the era of firearms has been so long, almost everyone has learned to prepare for artillery fire before the attack, and Hongtian Artillery has also fought for so many years of war, of course I know.
In the past, it was to consume the Japanese and the natives of Southeast Asia, but now that he was rushing for time, the Japanese servant army in the other two camps was already restless, trying to support this side, and provoking a large number of frictions between the Japanese people and the Han people, in an attempt to create a national riot.
So he had to get rid of it as soon as possible, then attack the other two camps, completely wipe out the Japanese servant army, and then go to support Jeju Island.
There are 20,000 Han troops and 300,000 Han Chinese people on Jeju Island, but there are 300,000 Japanese servant troops, 100,000 Southeast Asian servant troops, and 300,000 Japanese people.
Before this, he had transported 100,000 Han prisoners obtained from the Huaxia Army, 10,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, 5,000 Manchu Han army banner soldiers and horses, and 2,000 of his descendants, but the strength and situation were still unfavorable to him.
He was very painful, because this Japanese conspiracy had caused him heavy losses, the loss of 300,000 soldiers and horses, several naval warships, and the two million Japanese soldiers and civilians, prisoners, and servant troops that were about to be lost, and he was about to kill them all, he had suffered heavy losses, and almost all the money and wealth obtained by the stable operation of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the past few years had been lost because of this Japanese rebellion.
Today he received information from the henchmen investigating this matter, the intelligence showed that his second brother was actually involved in the period, which made him very disappointed, the second brother said that he wanted to go into business, but secretly obtained the assistance of the Huaxia Army, went to the island on the edge of Australia, and occupied the land as the king.
Hong Tianpao was puzzled, why he was so good to the second brother, and the second brother was still so good to him, as for the Huaxia Kingdom, not to make trouble for you, it was not their style, he could understand this, and even if he knew that the Huaxia Kingdom was involved in this incident, he thought that the Huaxia Kingdom would never destroy him, an obedient good minion, but to help the Japanese turn over, so he chose to ignore the existence of the Huaxia Kingdom, he knew that he was definitely not an opponent at the same level as the Huaxia Kingdom, his opponent was the second brother, Japan, and GoguryeoThese unlucky ghosts.
