Chapter 63: Inoue's Plan
"Forgive me for being unheard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoI only know that we have a Jiajing Emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and I have only heard that there is an emperor in your Dongying, but I have never heard of any emperor in Zhejiang! Inoue-kun isn't kidding, right? Chen Di said with a smile.
Inoue Shiro said solemnly: "I'm not kidding! I have a big plan with Koizumi Turtle Kang, dog breeding road! β
Chen Di asked, "What plan?" Please let Inoue explain. β
Inoue Shishiro said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the richest places in your Ming Dynasty. I once heard your father Chen Kezhen say that Jiangsu and Zhejiang account for half of your imperial court's income! I, Koizumi and I, and I, the two of us, are ready to use the money we have accumulated over the years to recruit a large army in our country, and together with the army we have now, we will capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang together! β
Chen Di thought to himself, Inoue Shishang, you are really a toad yawning, what a big breath. Don't look at the fact that the Ming army has the upper hand in fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang, but if the Japanese really capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Ming court will gather all the troops to fight a decisive battle with them. Compared with the power of a country in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese are tantamount to grasshoppers shaking trees.
Chen Di squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Foolish people talk about dreams." β
Inoue Shishiro said: "Chen Jun, I like your attitude of not being humble or arrogant. The Ming people who work with us, oh, and your father, are always submissive in front of us. In contrast, I prefer to work with a temperamental, assertive and intelligent person like you. β
Chen Di said: "With your strength, it's just a matter of attacking and plundering along the coast." To occupy a province of the Ming Dynasty, I don't believe you have such power. β
Inoue Shiro said, "Don't underestimate our strength. I have a total of 30,000 troops with Koizumi Turtle Kang and Inu Livestock Road. We plan to use our huge wealth to recruit another army of 70,000 people in the country and gather 100,000 troops to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the richest places in the entire Ming Dynasty. Once we occupy this place, we will get more riches. With money, it is possible to recruit more troops. At that time, if our own army is not enough to recruit, we can still hire Western Franciscans! Dutch! β
Chen Di asked: "Most of the wealth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy businessmen. These Jiangsu, Zhejiang and broadmen seem to have cooperated with you. Even if you control Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a while, these Jiangsu and Zhejiang bigwigs have cooperated with you for so long, will you betray your trust and rob them? β
Inoue Shishiro laughed and said, "Rich businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? They're just a bunch of pigs in my eyes! Pigs are fattened, and they are always to be killed! That's right, the goods we looted were sold to them for a profit. Similarly, they bought our goods at a low price, and sold these goods from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to all parts of Daming, which made a lot of money! Unfortunately, I have long regarded these merchants as piggy banks. No matter how much money they make, they still have to pay me back in the end! When I lay down Jiangsu and Zhejiang, their money will still belong to me! β
Chen Di thought to himself, this Inoue Shishiro is really a good calculation.
Inoue Shishiro said again: "You have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that Ming is correct and smooth. After we conquer Zhejiang Province, we will support a Han man to be the emperor. I hope this person is you. β
Chen Di asked Inoue Shiro: "When will this plan of yours be implemented?" β
Inoue Shiro said, "It will be implemented in half a year." β
Chen Di said: "Then I wish your plan can be successful!" β
After Inoue Shishiro left, Chen Di felt a mountain of pressure.
If Inoue Shishiro really gathers 100,000 Japanese pirates to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, no matter whether the Ming Dynasty can win in the end, it will be an unprecedented disaster for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
It's time to go to Yiwu to see your new army!
When Chen Di came to Yiwu, it was raining heavily in Yiwu. There is a way, an autumn rain and a cold. It was the early autumn season, and when Chen Di got out of the sedan chair, he felt a burst of coldness on his body.
Entering the camp of the new army, Chen Di did not see anyone.
Weird? Can the two thousand recruits and Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang still fly?
Chen Di sat in the camp for two or three hours, when he suddenly saw a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Chen Di went out to take a look, only to see that in the autumn rain, two thousand recruits were running in from outside the camp gate. Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang were at the head of the team.
Tang, Yu, and Qi saw Chen Di coming, and hurriedly ran over.
Chen Di asked, "Who are you?" β
Tang Shunzhi replied: "We have to take the brothers to run ten miles every day at noon to train their endurance. β
Chen Di said: "But it's raining so heavily todayγγγγγ β
Yu Dayou waved his hand: "Third brother, it doesn't matter if it's raining or sunny when you start a war!" You should practice, even if you have knives in the world! β
Chen Di said again: "The three of you are the three leading generals of the Taizhou regimental training, and you can't afford to follow the recruits in the rain!" β
Qi Jiguang said: "Third brother, you don't know, the art of war says: the top and bottom have the same desire, and the one who shares weal and woe wins." β
Chen Di nodded and said, "Well, what the second brother said makes sense." β
Yu Dayou stood on the stage in the rain and shouted: "Brothers, Lord Chen Dichen, the prefect of Taizhou, has come to see you!" Everyone show a hand to Lord Chen! Left and right sergeants, drill! β
Two thousand recruits picked up spears, short knives, and shields, and practiced the "Eight Formations of Iron Bucket King" for Chen Di in prisonγγγγγγ
Two thousand recruits, the sound of killing shook the sky. In the midst of the heavy rain, the tiger is full of windγγγγγγγ
Chen Di secretly rejoiced that he really used Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou correctly.
This new army seems to be ready to be pulled out to fight at any time!
After the drill, Chen Di, Tang, Yu, and Qi entered the big tent.
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "Teacher Lao and the two brothers have practiced hard. I think the new army has now formed a combat force. β
Yu Dayou shook his head: "It's a pity that no matter how much you spend on the training ground, it's better to pull it out and fight a real battle." β
Tang Shunzhi said: "What General Yu said is extremely true. β
Chen Di asked: "Have the firearms I sent to the Cao Gang already distributed to the recruits?" β
Tang Shunzhi replied: "It has been distributed to the recruits. We divided the two thousand brothers into two teams, the left and the right. The left team is a knife and axeman, practicing the 'Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King' every day. On the right were musketeers and gunners. Seven hundred birds were distributed to seven hundred firecrackers. There were also 300 men who served the twelve Furlong guns and the 'mighty general' guns. β
Yu Dayou interjected: "Lord Tang is worthy of being a person from the Ministry of War. He set a series of tactics for the left team and the right team to cooperate with each other. Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and it is time to fight a battle with the Japanese and test the results of military training! β
Chen Di nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will pull this new army to Taizhou and find an opportunity to fight with the Japanese invaders." β
