Chapter 462: Breaking through Kyoto
When Zhang San learned that the reinforcements had arrived, his entire hanging heart was put down, and he immediately spoke: "Order!" Reinforcements landed on the enemy's flank, and immediately after the landing, they launched an attack, and Yang Tai was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements. ”
With this force, Zhang San's mood immediately stabilized, although the troops in Zhang San's hands were all novices, but half of the Japanese army was farmers who had not been recruited for a long time, and there were few such large-scale wars in the Japanese country, and the command was worse than that of the Ryukyus.
These generals of the Japanese army in the era of peace, once the tactics are formulated, will only be rigidly implemented, the various teams of the Japanese state will attack with all their might, and Zhang San's side will defend with all their might, and when the Japanese generals know that there is a new enemy along the coast, the reinforcements commanded by Yang Tai have begun to land on the shore.
The Japanese army transferred 10,000 troops to the sea from the other side to form a defensive formation, and the reinforcements on Yang Tai's side immediately attacked, and the troops in Hiroshima also hit behind, so the rear side fell into an anxious position.
At this point, there were only 20,000 men left in all the reserves of the Japanese army, and Zhang San nodded and decided to start implementing the next battle plan, first of all, to send ten battalions to roam the flanks of the fifth division and make a move to attack the enemy's flank.
Sure enough, when the Japanese army saw that the Ryukyu army was moving, they immediately made the same response, but his 10,000 people obviously couldn't deal with Zhang San's battalion, so he transferred the 10,000 people from the Chinese army and directly sent 20,000 people to deal with the 10,000 people who Zhang San left out.
Seeing that there were only 10,000 people left in the Japanese army, Zhang San immediately killed the 10,000 people in his hand to the middle road, planning to break the middle road, the original 20,000 people of the Japanese army and the 8,000 people of the Ryukyu army were evenly matched, and now the Ryukyu army joined 10,000, and the other party obviously knew what the consequences would be, so the commander on the opposite side also pressed the last reserve to the middle road.
Zhang San and Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Look, now is the time!" ”
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "It's to let these robbers see the world." ”
Saying that Zhang San gave an order, the Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, and the two thousand cavalry who had been on standby for a long time in the distance joined the battlefield and rushed towards the opponent's handsome banner.
At this time, there were a thousand people behind their Chinese army, and they had dealt with this fierce cavalry, and they wanted to draw them from other places, and now they were anxious everywhere, and where they were deployed, they could fall into a predicament and lead to the defeat of the whole battle.
It's just that the cavalry's horse will give him so much time to think about it, and when a minute later, the cavalry is still a thousand steps away from the Chinese army, and the other marshal finally decides to move forward to join the Chinese army to resist together.
It's just that there was inevitably a little panic in the hurry, how could the four cavalry generals miss this opportunity, and immediately surrounded each other to drive the Chinese army, so the convergence turned into a rout, and the rout turned into an escape.
Seeing that the local formation was disrupted, the cavalry no longer hesitated to immediately enter the opponent's formation, and after the cavalry rushed and killed, the Chinese army of the Japanese Kingdom collapsed, and the cavalry troops did not stay and went to the right to kill, and after two quarters of an hour, the first part of the right side collapsed, and the second part of the right side collapsed after half an hour.
Seeing the rout on the right, the remaining two divisions had no fighting spirit, and evolved into a rout on the way to retreat, and in the afternoon, this general battle of 200,000 people ended in the complete rout of the Japanese army.
The rest was the pursuit and the competition between the various departments to capture the prisoners, the capture operation lasted for two days, and in the end, in addition to the more than 30,000 people killed in the battle, Zhang San captured 200,000 prisoners, of course, there were only 120,000 real soldiers, and more than 30,000 people fled from the right side of the battlefield into the mountains and forests.
Therefore, when the reinforcements from the Kanazawa area crossed the mountains and reached the vicinity of Kyoto, the defense of Kyoto had already ended for two days, and the reason why the Kanazawa reinforcements came so late was also the enthusiastic retention of the Ryukyu sailors.
Naturally, the enemy that the 180,000 troops couldn't handle, and these more than 30,000 people were even more food delivered, and there was no point in dragging on the battle here, and Zhang San finally started the final battle to attack Kyoto.
Although Kyoto has been desperately recruiting people in the past few days, it makes no sense in the face of the wolf-like Ryukyu army, and a day later Kyoto was broken, and the Japanese emperor surrendered out of the imperial city.
The next problem is the handling of the Wa State, after this war, the Wa Emperor became a prisoner, so the policy towards the Wa State should be changed accordingly, Zhang San made a copy of the Kyoto Treaty 13 articles and threw it to the Wa King.
1. The Wa Kingdom is a subject state of the Ryukyus,
2. Cedion of Kyushu Island to Ryukyu territory.
3. The south of Iwami Prefecture on the island of Honshu is a leased land for the Ryukyus for a period of 100 years.
Fourth, the Wa Kingdom is not allowed to build its own ships of more than 100 stones, and all ships of more than 100 stones must be purchased from Zhenwei Island.
5. The total number of ships of the Japanese Navy shall not exceed 200, and the tonnage shall not exceed 20,000 stones, and the Navy must hire consultants of the Ryukyu Navy Division.
6. The total size of the Wakoku Army shall not exceed 50,000, and all armies shall employ Ryukyu Army advisers.
7. In view of the fact that this war was caused by the discrimination of our Ryukyu merchants by the Wa State, the responsibility for the war shall be borne by the Wa State, and the Ryukyus shall be compensated with 50 million taels of silver.
8. Until all the compensation has been repaid by the Wakoku, the Wakuni Customs shall be taken over by the Ryukyus.
9. The inhabitants of the Ryukyus shall have extraterritorial jurisdiction during their stay in the Wakoku, and if they are found guilty, they shall be transferred to the Ryukyu side for trial, and the Wakyus shall not detain the Ryukyu nationals.
10. Ryukyu residents enjoy the same treatment as the nobles of the Wa Kingdom and have the right to set up factories, open mines, and do business.
11. All ports along the coast of the country will be opened as treaty ports, and a certain amount of land will be set aside for lease by Ryukyu in each port to facilitate the business activities of Ryukyu merchants.
12. Ryukyu warships shall have the right to sail in any sea and river of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa States shall not interfere with it.
13. The Ryukyus shall have the right to reasonably employ workers in the Wakoku Kingdom, and no one shall interfere with them for any reason.
The Emperor signed this treaty under the pressure of Zhang San's spear, and Zhang San began to ask the troops to restrain the troops and stop looting activities.
It turned out that the commander of the army in the Sendai area, Prince Hisashi Akira, who was the uncle of the current emperor, immediately gathered the remaining army in his hands when he saw that Kyoto had been breached, and when he saw the contents of the treaty, he decided to rebel because he saw that this was an opportunity.
As a last resort, Zhang San had no choice but to order the troops to screen the captured captives and select 50,000 people to go to the Tone River in the Kanto Plain to set up defenses, and then went to Shikoku Island to force the island's counties to surrender.
As for why the rebels were not directly eliminated, Zhang San felt that there was an enemy, and the Japanese emperor relied more on Ryukyu, lest he have any other thoughts because he had nothing to do.
Zhang San's army was cleaning up all kinds of resistance forces in the Honshu area, and the Northern Army, which had been shouting to overthrow the rule of the puppet emperor in Kyoto, was much more honest under several blows from the Ryukyu marines.
In fact, there were not many people in the north, and there were less than 2 million Japanese people north of the Tone River, and there were many ethnic minorities, and Hokkaido was owned by the Ezo people, which was not considered the land of the Japanese country at all.
