Chapter 137: Madeira
Chen Di led the Flying Tiger Army to recover the city of Jiaxing, and he knew that Inoue Shishiro would definitely raise troops to attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He is not confident about whether he can defeat Shishiro Inoue.
Nanjin Fuji's cavalry had already reported that Inoue Shiro had hired an artillery team composed of Franc robots. This artillery team had fifty Franc fast guns. And all of them are equipped with new Western firearms. Coupled with the 30,000 Japanese in the headquarters of Inoue Shishiro, this battle is really not easy to fight.
Hangzhou City.
Inoue Shiro was surprised when he heard the news that Jiaxing Mansion had been breached and the dog cattle road had been wiped out.
Nanzhen Fusi built an intelligence network in Jiangnan, and the Japanese also had an intelligence network in Jiangnan.
Inoue Shishiro had long heard that the Ming court had sent Chen Di to be the governor of Zhejiang. He also knew the news that Chen Di led more than 1,000 remnants of the Flying Tiger Army to re-enter Zhejiang. He originally thought that even if Chen Di was capable, the Thousand Flying Tiger Army would not be able to set off any big waves. This time, he really underestimated the enemy!
There are not 30,000 pigs under the dog breeder! That's 30,000 soldiers! was wiped out by Chen Di's 1,000 Flying Tiger Army in a few days! Could it be that Chen Di is the reincarnation of Kong Ming in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
After the shock, Inoue Shishiro regained his composure. The dog breeder was a merchant and didn't know how to fight. Coupled with the average combat effectiveness of the soldiers in his headquarters, it is not surprising that he was annihilated by Chen Dishi's tricks. He was born as a family leader of the Satsuma Domain, and he has been fighting since he was thirteen years old. Of the 30,000 soldiers in his hands, although there are 10,000 cannon fodder, the remaining 20,000 are warriors who are good at fighting. Coupled with the help of the mercenaries of the Franc machine, it is more than enough to deal with Chen Di's 1,000 people!
There are more than 1,000 Flying Tiger Army, no matter how strong the combat power is, it is still a long body! Could it be that you can still have three heads and six arms?
Inoue Shishiro fought wars and has always been known for his steadiness. Although the disparity in power between the two sides is huge, he does not support it. He ordered all his 30,000 troops to assemble in Hangzhou, and he prepared to attack Jiaxing Mansion with all his forces.
Inoue Shiro found Madeira, the leader of the Fran cannon team.
Madeira has been a maritime merchant in East Asia for more than ten years and speaks fluent Japanese.
Inoue Shiro said to Madeira: "Madeira, originally our agreement was to settle the commission for you after conquering the entire territory of Zhejiang. ”
Madeira replied: "Yes, Your Excellency General." Now that the Ming province of Zhejiang has been controlled by your people, you should pay a commission to my army!" ”
Inoue Shiro was afraid that Madeira would take the commission, so he led his troops to leave Zhejiang by boat. He hoped that Madeira would join him in attacking the Flying Tigers in Jiaxing Mansion: "Madeira, the situation has changed now!" The Ming army regained control of Jiaxing Province. Jiaxing's land accounts for one-third of Zhejiang. I want you to recapture Jiaxing Mansion with me! Wait until you hit Jiaxing Mansion and then pay the commission! ”
Madeira was a little unhappy: "Our battle is over!" Jiaxing Mansion has been captured by your country's army, and it was lost because of the incompetence of your country's generals! Nothing to do with my people! ”
Inoue Shiro sneered: "I'm sorry, if you don't participate in my attack on Jiaxing Mansion, I won't pay you a commission of one or two silver." ”
Madeira said angrily: "You are blackmailing! ”
Inoue Shishiro smiled: "What about coercion? The money is in my hands, I can give it if I want to, and I don't give it if I don't want to! Do your 2,000 men want to fight against our 100,000 troops in Zhejiang Province? ”
Madeira began to bargain with Inoue Shiro: "100,000 troops? How did I hear that your army lost 30,000 people in Jiaxing Province? You should only have 60,000 or 70,000 left, right? Well, pay us half of the commission first! We will go to Jiaxing with you to fight! How about waiting until the war in Jiaxing is over and then paying us the other half of the commission? ”
Inoue Shiro thought for a moment and agreed to Madeira's request: "Okay, I'll pay you half of the commission first!" ”
Madeira shook his head: "Alas, you Orientals, you don't know what the credibility of business is! ”
Jiaxing city. Chen Di is in the Jiaxing Mansion with Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and Tang Shunzhi thinking hard about how to resist the enemy. Suddenly, Lu Bing broke in.
"Chen Butang, there is an important piece of news, you will definitely be interested!" Lu Bing said.
Chen Di asked, "What's the news?" ”
Lu Bing took a sip of tea and said, "We have six brothers in Nanzhen Fusi who have infiltrated the Hangzhou Mansion!" Didn't Inoue Shiro hire a group of Franchis? What is the name of Madeira. This Madeira is very, and she is playing with the girl of Hangzhou Xiuchun Lou every day. The Oiran of Xiuchun Tower is named Yingyu. Not long ago, Yingyu waited for Madeira to have a drink with his subordinates, and while eating, Madeira scolded Inoue Shiro for not being trustworthy, deducted half of his commission, and blackmailed him to participate in the attack on our Jiaxing Mansion. ”
Chen Di asked, "Is the news reliable?" Since Yingyu is the Oiran of Xiuchun Building, how can she understand the words of the Franco? ”
Lu Bing replied, "My lord doesn't know. Hangzhou has always been a place where foreign merchants gathered. Foreign businessmen are very generous in finding women, and the girl in Xiuchunlou has served many foreign businessmen. It's not surprising that this Yingyu can talk a little Franco. ”
Chen Di slapped the table and said, "Commander Lu, Nanzhen Fusi has made a great contribution now!" ”
Why didn't Chen Di think of it before? The so-called Furlong cannon team is, to put it bluntly, mercenaries! For mercenaries, whoever gives more money can give their lives! They don't have a position at all! The amount of commission is where they stand!
Since there is a conflict between Madeira and Shishiro Inoue, why don't you take advantage of the contradiction between the two to buy Madeira? If the Franc machine man can fight back and help the Flying Tiger Army deal with Inoue Shishiro, then this battle will be much easier!
Chen Di ordered Tang Shunzhi: "You take my warrant to Suzhou immediately!" How much silver is in the treasury for me to transport to Jiaxing Mansion! ”
Chen Di said to Yu Dayou again: "You tell the brothers of the Flying Tiger Army! In the last battle of Jiashan, they were rewarded with more than 400,000 taels of silver! Now that the war is urgent, you can't go to the battlefield with money! Collect their money, and say that it is stored in a unified manner, and let them receive it when the battle is over! ”
Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou took the order and left.
Chen Di said to Lu Bing: "Commander Lu, the next thing is to rely on you Nanzhen Fusi!" You tell your brother in Hangzhou to do everything you can to get on the line with that Madeira! It's best to let him and I meet alone! ”
Lu Bingdao: "Okay! I will immediately inform the brothers in Hangzhou to do this! ”
Chen Di told Lu Bingdao again: "Remember, this matter is very important, and it is related to the success or failure of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war!" Be sure to do your best! ”
