Chen Di said: "Suzhou is nearly 200 miles away from Jiashan County. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ruzhen, you are the grain officer of the Flying Tiger Army, and you are responsible for transporting military rations to us from Suzhou from the Jiangsu Guard's Army, which is responsible for transporting military rations to us! On this expedition, each soldier of the Flying Tiger Army carried 30 paper shell bullets, 10 grenades, and 18 leech crossbow arrows. The artillery battalion carries six hundred shells of paper shells! The rest of the ammunition will be stored in Suzhou City first! As soon as ammunition is needed at the front, I will give you the order and you will be responsible for escorting it to the front line. ”

Hu Zongxian said: "Zhenhaibo, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well!" ”

Chen Di said: "As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants are collecting military salaries for our Flying Tiger Army. I estimate that in two days, the military pay will be delivered to the barracks. Let's tentatively set off in two days and attack Jiashan! ”

Chen Di said again: "I divided the Flying Tiger Army into three artillery battalions and one artillery battalion. During the war, Mr. Tang, you are in charge of the artillery battalion. Second Brother Qi led a fire gun camp, and Brother Yu led a fire gun camp. I personally led a fire battalion! ”

When Chen Di said the three titles of "Teacher Tang", "Second Brother Qi" and "Big Brother Yu", a trace of uneasiness flashed in Lu Bing's eyes. He had heard that the Flying Tiger Army was Chen Di's private army before, and now look, it's true! He, the governor of Zhejiang and the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, the commander of the Tongzhi, and the commander of the affairs of the Flying Tiger Army, actually called him a brother and a brother!

Chen Di saw Lu Bing's uneasiness, and he said: "The art of war is cloudy, those who want the same up and down win, and those who are in the same boat through thick and thin prosper!" There is a way to say that there is no clothes, and the same robe with the Son. The Flying Tigers are united, and this battle will be won. Commander Lu, right? ”

Lu Bing said noncommittally: "What Chen Butang said。。。。。 Reasonable. “

And the crowd dispersed from the tent. Chen Di began to study the map again. His tactics for dealing with the 100,000 Japanese robbers in Zhejiang were to use the iron fist of the Flying Tiger Army to defeat each of them.

Chen Di was studying the map, and the soldiers outside the tent reported: "Chen Butang, there is a widow outside the tent who said he wants to see you!" ”

Chen Di said suspiciously: "Wokou? ”

He suddenly remembered that in Zhejiang, he had also cultivated a traitor!

During the Battle of Beipo Town, Chen Di captured Muraichi Watanabe, the advisor of Inoue Shishiro. After the battle of Beipo Town, he ordered Watanabe Village to hide his name and lurk in Zhejiang. Watanabe Muraichi was captured by Chen Di, and he knew that he would definitely die if he returned to Inoue Shishiro. So he honestly obeyed Chen Di's arrangement.

"Let him come to me!" Chen Di ordered the soldiers.

After a while, a soldier led Watanabe Muraichi to the big tent.

Chen Di asked Watanabe Murachi, "Why are you here?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "My lord! I originally stayed incognito in Hangzhou. Inoue Shiro captured Hangzhou, and I was afraid that his people would find out, so I ran to Suzhou. ”

Chen Di asked Watanabe Murachi: "Do you know how Inoue Shishiro and others gathered 100,000 people in China to attack Zhejiang?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "When I arrived in Jiaxing, I changed into my own clothes and talked to a few local people. Of the 100,000 people who attacked Zhejiang, only 30,000 were the headquarters men who followed Inoue Shishiro, Koizumi Turtle Kang, and Inu Livestock Road to attack the Ming Dynasty all year round! Of the remaining 70,000 people, 40,000 were borrowed from the great names of their own vassals. There are also 30,000 people who are farmers from their own country who they employ. ”

Chen Di said suspiciously: "Borrowed? ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "That's right, it's borrowed!" The daimyo of their country have been fighting each other for many years, and their strength has been consumed a lot! They urgently need silver to exchange for firearms from the West! Inoue Shishiro and others promised them that as long as the daimyo lent him soldiers and horses, he would give the daimyo a large amount of silver as a reward after conquering Zhejiang! ”

Chen Di said: "In this way, out of 100,000 people, only 70,000 are combative. The remaining 30,000 people are all Japanese farmers who can only farm? ”

Watanabe nodded and said, "That's right! In addition, Inoue Shiro also spent a lot of money and hired a thousand Franco! These Furlong men brought fifty Furlong guns! ”

Chen Di didn't expect Inoue Shiro to hire a professional Western artillery team.

Chen Di asked Watanabe Mumaichi: "Based on your understanding of the Japanese daimyos, what would be their attitude if their soldiers suffered heavy casualties in Zhejiang?" ”

Watanabe Village: "Inoue Shishiro boasted to the daimyos, saying that Daming was like a beautiful vase, gorgeous in appearance, but in fact vulnerable. The daimyo lent him soldiers and horses. If the daimyo soldiers suffered heavy casualties in Zhejiang, the daimyo of their country would definitely order the soldiers to return to the country! ”

Chen Di asked, "Are the soldiers of these daimyo concentrated together, or are they scattered?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "The soldiers of the 40,000 daimyo were organized into the armies of Inoue Shisaro, Koizumi Koyasu, and Inukaido. ”

It would be nice if the soldiers of the 40,000 daimyo of the Wa Kingdom were grouped together. As long as Chen Di gives a beating, they will definitely return to China. Inoue Shishiro, Koizumi Yasu, and Inukai also seem to see the shortcomings of this national mercenary army, so they disperse the 40,000 mercenaries.

Chen Di asked, "How long have you been in Jiaxing?" ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "Two days." ”

Chen Di asked, "Two days?" What have you seen in the past two days, how many firearms have been used by the Japanese Bandits? ”

Watanabe Muraichi replied, "About half of Jiaxing's national soldiers are ashigaru. The remaining quarter were musketeers, and the quarters were infantry. A quarter are archers. ”

Chen Di nodded: "Very good!" The information you provide is crucial! I'll give you enough bounty! ”

Watanabe Muraichi's eyes narrowed with joy, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "Your Excellency is so generous!" Thank you. ”

Chen Di said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first!" I am about to lead the Flying Tiger Army to attack Jiashan County. You have to listen to the army! ”

Watanabe Muraichi was a little reluctant. You know, you don't have long eyes when you start a war. However, thinking of the rich bounty, he still nodded busily and said, "Okay! It's all up to adults to demolish! ”

Two days later, Ma Ruyun, a Zhejiang businessman, and Su Bingyan, a Hui businessman, came to the Flying Tiger Army barracks with ten carts of silver.

Su Bingyan said to Chen Di: "Zhenhaibo, our Hui merchants raised a total of 350,000 taels of silver, and Zhejiang merchants raised 200,000 taels of silver, a total of 550,000 taels, all of which were used as the military salaries of the Flying Tiger Army!" ”

Chen Di said approvingly: "The heart of Zhejiang merchants and Huizhou merchants to serve the country can be learned from heaven and earth!" I will play the emperor to ask for credit for the two of you! ”

Ma Ruyun said: "Don't see Zhenhaibo!" As long as you can recover Zhejiang, even if our Zhejiang and Huizhou merchants are bankrupt, we will have to repay more military salaries! ”

Chen Di said: "Don't worry! Not only will I recover Zhejiang, but one day, I will also occupy the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom and build a huge naval division. I want to let the business of the Ming merchants go to the country and the West! By then, you'll have made a lot of money! ”
