"The minister seconded the proposal, the military town that has been built in Alaska only needs to be maintained within 500 people, so that the supply will be much easier, and the rest of the army will enter the Yukon Territory to build a new defense line, as long as it can withstand the attack of the Manchurian army next year, the Manchurians will definitely retreat south. In this way, our army can completely gain a firm foothold in the Great Wilderness Dongzhou. Lu Xiangsheng also agreed.

"I have heard that Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Canada, Nunavut and other regions are inhabited, and since there are people living there, there must be food, and I believe that supplies must not only be provided by the empire itself, but also obtained from the natives through trade, and our enemy is only Manchukuo, and the local natives are the objects we can unite."

"Some of the food of the garrison in Alaska is obtained through the locals, but when the Jianlu entered the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, the locals were slaughtered, which made the locals extremely wary of our army, and it will take time, if you can trade with the locals, it can indeed greatly alleviate the problem of the local garrison's dependence on native food." Hong Chengchou agreed.

"Gold and silver do not play any role in trading with the locals, silk, cotton cloth and other items are more popular, when we send supplies to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou in the future, send some such items over to facilitate the transaction, and send special people to take charge of this matter, Manchukuo wantonly slaughtered the local residents, we are here to help the local residents resist Manchukuo, as long as there is sincerity, I believe they will accept us." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"Your Majesty, our army only has 11,000 people in the Great Wilderness East Continent, and if we enter Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Canada, and Nunavut at the same time, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower, but if we increase our troops, supply will be a big problem for the time being." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Alaska only needs to maintain one to two thousand people, and in the northwest of Canada and Nunavut, we don't need garrisons for the time being, we only need to send one or two hundred people to find local people to trade. The line of defense of the Great Army is in the Yukon, and the Yukon is by the sea, and we can supply the garrison in the Yukon from the sea. Zhu Youxiao explained.

……

In February of the 33rd year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong could not wait to launch a spring offensive against the shogunate.

This time, Zheng Zhilong launched against the shogunate from two directions at the same time, one route was Zheng Zhihu led an army of 20,000 troops out of the northeast to attack the Kanto region, and this army was actually only a feint to contain the main force of the shogunate; The other way is that Zheng Sen led an army of 60,000 out of to attack the central region, this road is the main force, and the central region is the main direction of attack in Kyushu.

The Kanto region was the base camp of the shogunate, and Zheng Zhihu's 20,000 troops successfully dragged the main force of the shogunate to the Kanto. Zheng Sen's 60,000 troops were overwhelmed, and at the end of February, Zheng Sen's army entered the Owari Domain.

The Owari Domain was one of the three imperial families, the lord of the domain was Tokugawa Mitsutomo, and the domain was in Nagoya Castle. The position of the Owari domain determined that the commander of the shogunate army in the central region was Tokugawa Mitsutomo.

Following the advice of his retainers, Tokugawa Mitsutomo gathered all the armies of the Chubu feudal domains in Nagoya, where he prepared for a decisive battle against the Kyushu army.

At six o'clock in the morning on March 1, the two sides set up positions near the former Qingsu Castle.

On one side was the 60,000 Kyushu Army under the command of Zheng Sen, and on the other side was the 110,000 Shogunate Army under the command of Tokugawa Mitsutomo. The armies of the various feudal domains that had been gathered in the Owari domain and the shogunate army already stationed in the central region were only 63,000 men, but Tokugawa Mitsutomo recruited 50,000 new troops again last year to prepare for an attack in Kyushu.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo flanked 50,000 new troops with 20,000 troops from various domains, and he personally led 40,000 troops as the central army.

The shogunate army had an absolute superiority in numbers, but it was significantly inferior in firearms. For the victory of this crusade against the shogunate, Zheng Zhilong not only sent Zheng Sen 5,000 armed with apocalypse guns, but also carried a large number of first-machine artillery purchased from the Ming Dynasty.

At half past six, 20,000 people on the left flank led by Zheng Zhiguan took the lead in entering the battlefield to attack. The right flank of the shogunate army consisted of 30,000 Tokugawa Mitsutomo's newly formed new army and 10,000 feudal feudal armies. The right wing of the shogunate army was extremely poorly equipped, mainly cold weapons, and a small number of firearms, especially the new army, which was even worse equipped, and even the clothing was varied, which was why Zheng Zhiguan took the lead in attacking.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo also understands that his two wings are extremely weak, he does not expect the two wings to resist the attack of the Kyushu army, he only needs the two wings to drag the Kyushu army to give him enough time to break through the Kyushu army's Chinese army, Tokugawa Mitsutomo's move is a bit desperate, all betting on the Chinese army that can break through the Kyushu army, but once it can't break through the Kyushu army's middle army for a long time, the shogunate army will fall into the encirclement of the Kyushu army.

At the same time that Zheng Zhiguan's left flank launched an offensive, the central army of the shogunate army also launched an offensive. Although Zheng Sen only arranged 20,000 people in the Chinese army, all the 5,000 armed guard battalions were arranged in the Chinese army. Contrary to the active attack on the left and right flanks, Zheng Sen's Chinese army took a defensive position from the beginning.

The formation of 5,000 armed guard battalions was placed at the forefront of the Chinese army. Tokugawa Mitsutomo faced the first round of attacks by the well-equipped Arsenal Battalion to no avail.

"Death squad!" Mitsutomo Tokugawa did not hesitate to take out his hole cards. Of course, he also had to take out his hole cards immediately, his left and right flanks are now under great pressure in the face of the attack of the Kyushu army, especially on the right flank, Zheng Zhiguan's offensive is very fierce, and the 40,000 shogunate troops on the right flank are now struggling to support under the attack of the 20,000 Kyushu army.

The death squads of the shogunate army rushed briskly towards the Kyushu army with carts full of sandbags. The power of the Apocalypse gun is limited, and the damage to the shogunate army hiding behind the car is very small, and only the artillery can cause damage to the shogunate army, but in terms of artillery operation, the gap between the Kyushu army and the Ming army is more than a star and a half, and the shogunate's death squad can really do it without fear of death, in the artillery fire, more than half of the number of car damage.

Looking at the shogunate death squad approaching step by step, Zheng Sen ordered: "The Wuwei battalion retreats to the rear, and the tail camp is ready for battle." ”

The Wuwei battalion quickly withdrew to the rear of the large array. The tail camp is located behind the Wuwei camp and is the second line of defense of the Chinese army. Seeing that the armed guard battalion of the Kyushu Army took the initiative to retreat, the morale of the daredevils was high at the moment.

"Grenade ready!" The soldiers in the camp pulled out their grenades. As soon as the shogunate army approached, the soldiers in the camp threw out their grenades, which seemed to be more lethal than muskets, and a large number of the shogunate death squads that rushed to the front fell.

"Get on the bayonet!"

"Kill!"

The Osuki camp took the initiative to rush out and start a white-knuckle battle with the shogunate's death squads. Although the death squad was at a disadvantage in numbers, it still had an advantage in the scene with a momentum that was not afraid of death.
