Chapter 793: Crazy Expansion of the Army
Spring is the season of growth of all things, representing infinite vitality and infinite possibilities, but this year's spring is gray in the eyes of Fujiwara Shuo, and he doesn't know what kind of fate awaits him.
Fujiwara Brush Male appeared in Nagasaki Town, the reason for which is very different from Zhen Qian's conjecture, in Zhen Qian's mind, Fujiwara Brush Male is interested in the geography of Nagasaki Town and the reason why Silla will not attack the Tang people, but what Zhen Qian doesn't know is that Fujiwara Brush Male is timid by nature and will not put himself in a desperate situation at all.
The biggest reason why Fujiwara Shuxiong went to Nagasaki Town was the persuasion of the Fujiwara clan people around Fujiwara Shuxiong.
But it's not surprising to think about it, when Fujiwara was caught in a storm at sea and fell to Hizen Province, and when he found himself facing Shaoji Dongsao, his first thought was to run to Chikuzen Province for refuge.
It's the same this time.,Originally, when Fujiwara Shuo heard that the Silla army was attacking Matsuura Castle,,He wanted to abandon the city and flee back to the main island.,As a result, the Fujiwara clan people around him persuaded Fujiwara Shuo to resist.,Just run away without a fight.,It's really hard to explain when I see Fujiwara Nakamaro in the future.。
Fujiwara's biggest advantage is that he listens to people's advice!
The Fujiwara clan persuaded Fujiwara to brush the o, as a member of the Fujiwara clan, the image of the Fujiwara brush is more important than life, if the Fujiwara brush male escapes without a fight, the opposition of the Japanese country will definitely talk about Fujiwara Shu Xiong, and it is certain to attack Fujiwara Nakamaro, then Fujiwara Nakamaro will definitely not hesitate to kill Fujiwara Shu Xiong and save the reputation of the Fujiwara clan.
Fujiwara Brush Male is also a very smart person, the Fujiwara clan is well aware of Fujiwara Nakamaro's character, and he knows it with emotion and reason, and hopes that Fujiwara Brush Male will not be confused at a critical time.
Fujiwara barely resisted symbolically at Matsuura Castle, and then ran to Nagasaki Town in a panic, and found that Nagasaki Town was indeed safe, so he stayed in Nagasaki Town.
However, the situation of the battle in Seikaido changed strangely, and Fujiwara was also shocked three times a day, and when he heard that the Japanese army had defeated the Silla army, he danced with joy, thinking that he would soon return to Matsuura Castle to continue to be his guardian emperor. But when he heard that the Silla army had defeated the Japanese army, the frightened six gods wanted to escape, if it weren't for the hard persuasion of the Fujiwara clan around him, Fujiwara Shuxiong didn't know how many times he had escaped.
In this ostensibly war between the Japanese and Silla countries, there were too many people and forces involved, and Zhen Qian was also a soy sauce fighter, who came out from time to time to make trouble. The Japanese opposition and the Ezo people are pulling Fujiwara Nakamaro's hind legs, turning the already confusing situation into a pot of porridge, not only Zhen Qian can't understand it, but even Fujiwara Shuxiong has less confidence the more he looks at it.
When Fujiwara Shuo heard that the Silla army had defeated the Tozen Kuniwa army, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.
But soon the news came that the Japanese army had attacked the port of Karatsu and occupied Tsushima Island and Ikishima Island, and under the joy and sorrow, Fujiwara felt that his fragile heart was about to be unable to bear it.
"Guard, now is a godsend, as long as we send troops to recapture Matsuura City, we can join forces with the army of Karatsu Port, and the first contribution to recapture Saikaido is none other than Guardian!" A member of the Fujiwara clan persuaded.
Fujiwara Shuxiong said disapprerovingly: "The Silla country is still in a desperate situation, and the strength is still there, how can we capture the five thousand Silla troops in Songpu City with only two or three thousand soldiers and horses in our hands?" ”
"That's a mistake!" Seeing that Fujiwara was reluctant to send troops, the Fujiwara clan continued to persuade: "Although the Silla Kingdom has the strength to fight now, it is already at the end of the strong crossbow and cannot wear Lu Min, if you really wait until the Silla army is defeated, will it still be yours to protect the first contribution to the recovery of Seikaido?" ”
Fujiwara Brush is a little moved, but he knows that he can manage a place administratively, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, it is to drive ducks to the shelves.
"So what do you think you should do? Is it going to be like this to return to Matsuura Castle? ”
The Fujiwara clan had already discussed, and when they saw that Fujiwara Shuxiong finally relented, he said: "Of course we can't directly attack Matsuura Castle now, but we must let the rumors out, take the opportunity to recruit some more soldiers, first occupy the small towns around Matsuura Castle, and then make it look like attacking Matsuura Castle, so that here in Saikaido, who else has more credit than guarding." ”
As long as it wasn't a desperate fight with the Silla army, Fujiwara Shuxiong agreed, but after thinking about it, he found a lot of problems: "Okay then!" But how many soldiers will be recruited, and where will the weapons and food and grass come from? ”
The Fujiwara clan people around who were still boasting just now were a little speechless for a while.
When these people broke through from Songpu City, they did bring a lot of gold, silver and food, but they used a lot of food and drink during this time, and now there is not much left.
If there is anything to worry about, then only the source of troops does not have to worry, as long as there is food and grass, even tens of thousands of troops can be gathered in a very short time. But what about food and weapons? Even Fujiwara understands this truth, without weapons and food and grass, is it ...... to let the soldiers fight with the Silla army with their bare hands.
"It seems that the Tang merchants in Nagasaki Town still have some grain in their hands?" A member of the Fujiwara clan has no confidence at all.
"What about weapons?"
Fujiwara Shuxiong knew in his heart that what the clansmen said was right, the Tang merchants in Nagasaki Town had stored a lot of grain, and if they were all collected, they should be able to supply 10,000 troops for a month's food and drink, the question was whether those Tang merchants handed over the grain? Even if you hand it over, you won't have any money at all! That's robbery, and the little prestige that you have built up with great difficulty will be gone.
These are not the most important things, if you have food, you must have weapons, it seems that Tang Shang has no weapons in his hands, even if he robs Tang Shang's grain, it is useless!
"This ......!"
Just when Fujiwara felt hopeless, a member of the Fujiwara clan suddenly spoke: "Why do you need weapons, can't you use sticks, branches, and bamboo?" We don't want some elite soldiers, and since we can recruit a lot of soldiers, why can't we fight with war? Only the soldiers who survive from the battlefield are elite, so let's let the battlefield hone these recruits, and the weapons in our hands will only be issued to the real elite ....... ”
The words of this Fujiwara clan made everyone feel suffocated, and the meaning of these words has been very clear, recruits are cannon fodder, and it is a waste to equip cannon fodder with weapons, anyway, the last thing that is lacking now is cannon fodder.
"Then we will gather all the merchants in Nagasaki Town, and tell them that we need their food, and when we take control of Hizen Province, we will repay them twice as much, and if they do not want to, we will confiscate all their property according to the charges of being a financial enemy!" Fujiwara is a decisive person, and he can't die himself, so let others die!
