Chapter 784: The Enraged Third Prince

Hearing that his Jeju Island detachment was disabled, the third prince was furious like thunder, and killed several subordinates and maids in a row, his side is still like an independent kingdom, he is different from the autonomy of Xinlu Province and Siguofu Province, although he is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia Kingdom, in fact, it is the Hong Kong of the later Huaxia Kingdom, and the people have their own rules of conduct, their own rulers, and their own people, and they are not dedicated to China.

And in order not to carry too much heavy burden, Zhang Qiang actually doesn't want his Ryukyu Kingdom, Xinlu Mansion has not yet digested, Shikoku Island does not want to digest it for the time being, the Ryukyu Kingdom as a window to the outside world, Zhang Qiang will still allow them to exist, although this existence may endanger the Huaxia Kingdom in the future, but Zhang Qiang is not ready to overthrow the rule of the third prince now.

So the third prince is actually a weak Hong Chengchou Ming regime.

The Jeju Island detachment of the third prince originally consisted of only 20 1,000-ton warships, 18 800-ton warships, 36 600-ton warships, and 80 180-ton warships, and the 300-ton warships were sent to Songjiang Province to guard the city, and there were 45 ships, 50 60-ton warships, and they were running on both sides to transmit messages and protect the warships.

This is the establishment of the third prince after two additional troops to the Jeju Island fleet.

However, these warships have so far lost five 1,000-ton warships, four 800-ton warships, 11 600-ton warships, seven 300-ton warships, 30 180-ton warships, 8 60-ton warships, 12 180-ton warships, and 10 60-ton warships.

If we add the battleships that sank due to wind and waves and the obsolescence of the ships, they lost at least one-third of the warships, two-thirds of the warships, patrol ships, and transport ships, which was the most unbearable loss since the third prince fought with Japan, and he bought these warships from the Huaxia Army, and gave the Huaxia Army 220,000 Japanese civilians each time, as well as some Japanese gold, silver and materials that they had looted from Shikokufu Island, as well as what they had seized from the Great Prince.

It is estimated that it will take a year to pay off all the arrears, and the Huaxia army has already obtained 10 million materials, gold and silver, and 1 million Japanese population, and they have almost moved all the Tottori prefectures near Songjiang Prefecture to make up 1 million Japanese population, and they are still constantly transporting the population and materials of Tokone County, and the harvested things and assets are not enough to repay the Huaxia Kingdom.

All of their warships and warships were given or bought by the Huaxia Kingdom, and all they could produce was a transport ship of up to sixty tons.

The third prince looked at his henchman: "How is the second brother doing over there?" Did you evacuate? ”

The master carefully accompanied the smiling face and said: "Withdraw, 100,000 Japanese people, dragged their families, 50,000 Han Chinese and Japanese servant soldiers, loaded with 210 ships supported by the Huaxia Kingdom, and nearly 50 warships, went to the direction of Malacca, the people of the First Fleet of the Huaxia Army escorted them through Jinling, and then the people of the Second Fleet took over from Baodao Prefecture and escorted them to Qiongdao Prefecture, and the people of the Fifth Fleet escorted them through Luzon, and the Spaniards returned to their territory, The little one we sent came back three days ago to report. ”

The third prince walked around the palace while listening to his report, "In this way, Shikoku Island is controlled by the Huaxia Army?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Shikoku Island now has 300,000 Han people, 800,000 Japanese people, a total of 1.2 million people, Zhao Hui's command of more than 600,000 troops, Kong Youxing's troops have all retreated to Xinlu Mansion for rest, where the people and indigenous soldiers have also retreated to Xinlu Mansion, where will be the territory managed by Prime Minister Yan and Zhao Hui in the future, no longer have anything to do with Xinlu Mansion, Feng Quan only manages his Xinlu Mansion."

"What about our troops?" The third prince asked.

Master said: "Originally, there were 15,000 troops, plus the people, and the servant army had a total of 30,000 troops, and then before the war, when we were preparing to open up the second battlefield, where did we send 50,000 regular army troops, 50,000 servant troops, and 30,000 people, and now these people are still waiting for your arrangement in the barracks. ”

The third prince pointed at him, "I will transfer 10,000 regular troops back, 5,000 to defend Ammi Island, 5,000 to garrison the main island, and half of the people will come back, 30,000, and then transfer the strong 10,000 of them to these two troops for training, and then integrate them into these two troops, and the rest of the people, send the sailors of the main island over, and take them all to Jeju Island, where the enemy will increase his troops, we will also increase the troops, and after the defeat will send all the enemy's people to the Huaxia Kingdom, These Han prisoners of war let them go to the hard labor camp of the Huaxia Kingdom to endure hardships and suffering, and they can also pay off some of our arrears, but the price has to be increased, after all, these people are Han, not Japanese. ”

The master said happily: "That's very good, where are we still capturing nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians, thousands of Han Chinese, if we can defeat and capture the troops sent by the enemy to the island, at least it can reduce our arrears by 500,000 to 1 million, so that we owe less and less to the Huaxia Kingdom."

However, Your Highness, why don't you withdraw the troops of Songjiang Province to Jeju Island for defense, and now the Huaxia Kingdom only mentioned it, and did not ask us to give them Jeju Island, we occupy it, and it is ours.

If we can win this time, we will have a springboard that can hit Goguryeo, this position is very critical, we can not only fight Japan, but also threaten Xinlu Province, we can also threaten the balcony of the Huaxia army and other places, and we can also directly use the water division to fight the patio of the Qing Dynasty and other places in the north, otherwise we can raid their Jinzhou Bay. ”

The third prince glanced at him, "You can, the Qing army is no better than the Japanese, the Japanese are still in the primitive era, and they are still in the era of separation, but we are already in the era of muskets and artillery, and the Qing Dynasty has more than ten years of experience in muskets and artillery, and we can't even make a splash when we send this bit of cannon fodder."

The Qing Dynasty now has 35 million Han Chinese, and if they defeat the Dajin Kingdom, they will have 48 million Han Chinese, as well as 6 million Mongols, 10 million Manchus, and those Shengfan Jurchens who fled into the mountains, at least 1 million, how many of us?

There are only 300,000 Han people on the whole island, no more than 300,000 natives, plus our current regular army of 120,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 Japanese servant troops, even if we transport back to China the 300,000 naturalized Japanese people, the total population is only 1.2 million, 1.2 million, you let me fight nearly 50 million in the Qing Dynasty, are you glued in the head? ”

The master was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, he actually knew it, but what he wanted to say was to scare him, and then leave with a penny, he didn't want to say that he was completely confrontational with the Qing Dynasty, but now he didn't dare to argue, the three princes were left with this one, this one's domineering was not something he could provoke, he didn't agree with him and pulled out and cut off his head, how could he mix up and eat.

"Go out and order the sailors to get ready, and are there still the Portuguese? Didn't they always want the latest artillery of the Huaxia Army? Tell them to attack once, ten of the latest artillery pieces of the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army can give them 1,000 flintlock pistols alone, at most 3,000, if it doesn't work, let them go. ”
