Chapter 100: Soldiers Descend on the City
Qiao Haipeng listened to Li Ming's words, and laughed: "Why can't you pull it down, there are so many wooden boats here in Sakai Port, are you still worried about not having a ship, let's pull along the coastline, it's a big deal to drive slowly, and there are still ten sail-armed merchant ships when we get to the island." I still want to get a ticket there when I pass through the southern part of Korea. You'll see in a moment, and now all the larger ships in Sakai Port have been requisitioned by us. ”
Li Ming was stupid all of a sudden, this is too, a set of pictures suddenly appeared in Li Ming's mind, three huge landing ships, each with a long line of wooden boats tied to the back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unsound.
"If I go to find that Ming Song Shiping, what do you think. He should have a ship in his hand, and we just let them help us transport a batch of supplies back, just so that he can recognize the door, and it will be convenient for us to trade between us in the future, so there should be no problem. ”
Gao Jianguo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not okay, it's better not to expose Vladivostok now, it's better not to be exposed now, it's a day to be able to cover it, and this time we still have ten Dutch sailboats on the island, this can't leak the wind, and then let the Netherlands know the rumors, it will definitely be a trouble in the future." ”
Qiao Haipeng thought for a while and said: "I think it is feasible, we can let a few naval personnel follow their ship and go directly to the Ulleungdo Island in the eastern waters of North Korea, and when our fleet goes back, we will first make a forward stop there for them and let them unload all the supplies there." Actually, I've been looking at it for a long time, but I didn't know what to do with it for a while, but now I finally use it, and I'll use it as one of our trade points in the future. ”
When Li Ming heard this, he said excitedly: "Lao Qiao's idea is good, if you build a trade point there, you can trade with Daming, North Korea and even Japan in the future, even if you can trade with foreign devils in the future, you can also trade there with confidence." But there will be no harassment from the North Korean navy. ”
Qiao Haipeng sneered and said, "They dare!" If they dare to provoke us, they will beat the fuck. If you don't have a face, I'll make their East Coast smoke everywhere. It's okay, I'm going to make a decision on Ulleungdo, and it is absolutely feasible to build a simple dock there in the future as a trade transit island. ”
Everyone was also very excited after listening to Qiao Haipeng's words, once the basic industry of the Vladivostok Development Zone is established, foreign trade still has to be done, and you can't always be pirates and live by plundering everywhere.
Since this matter was decided, Li Ming's mood was much better, so he smiled and said, "What did we get from the warehouse in Sakai Port?" It seems like a lot of them. ”
As soon as they talked about the materials this time, several people were immediately excited. Gao Jianguo said excitedly: "The main thing is that there is the most rice, basically the No. 1 landing ship is full, and the decks of several landing ships are also piled up, anyway, we don't have to worry about rice this winter." But I still don't think it's enough, and I don't panic when I have food in my hand. But considering that we have insufficient capacity, only a small part is loaded.
Okay this time, you can contact that Song Shiping in a while, and ask him to get as many sea boats as possible, and help us load more rice and cloth, and we will get more precious things in the shops in Sakai Port, and put them in the ships he found together with the grain, and when we get to Ulleungdo, we will unload the grain, and let them take away all the useless mirror cabinets, and treat them as freight.
In addition to grain, it is sulfur and copper. There are also a large number of various kinds of cloth, which are all resources and necessities that we can use in the future. This time, I will try to get as many as I can, and it is estimated that after doing this vote, there may not be many such opportunities in the future. It's so easy to come here, don't get more things to go back, we're not reconciled, haha......"
Li Ming also nodded and said, "I've seen all the shops inside Sakai Port, all of them are beautiful screens, carefully forged swords, armor, spears, finely painted writing boxes and small wooden boxes, and some decorations. To be honest, it's not useful at all.
But now it's different, if we have the trading point of Ulleungdo in the future, then these things will be worth a lot of money, and in the future, we can use them to buy grain in Jiangnan and import displaced people to trade with him. ”
Qiao Haipeng laughed when he heard it: "Haha...... The company's employees will be divided before the winter, we come out, we can't be empty-handed, how can we get some benefits for everyone, so that everyone can complain about us. ”
When everyone heard it, they also thought that this was the case. Li Ming smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry now, don't let these merchants in Sakai Town have a grudge and have any conflicts with us." Let the daredevils sweep around the shops in Sakai Port before we leave, and take them all away with the damn light. At that time, if the merchants in Sakai Town dared to stab again, we would destroy them. ”
Suddenly, the voices of the two captains of the assault battalion's defense detachment came from everyone's headphones: "Discover the enemy's situation, discover the enemy's situation...... Now the enemy's advance was three thousand meters away from the Sakai city wall, and they were waiting for the arrival of the shogunate's large army. ”
Everyone listened to the sink, and Qiao Haipeng said worriedly: "Then should we change the plan, speed up the loading speed, and leave Sakai Port in advance." ”
Gao Jianguo sneered and said gloomily: "It's so easy for us to come out once, and we must not change our plans." Let the artillery observation team go directly to the city wall and report the shooting to Zhuyuan, and we will concentrate all the artillery and give them a guy to scare them, and it will be absolutely no problem to buy us two more days. ”
Li Ming nodded and said, "Let the merchants in Sakai Port take a look, so that we don't have to guard against them." It also gave some confidence to the samurai of the Death Army, who generally had a fear of the Tokugawa shogunate army. ”
When Gao Jianguo heard this, he said sternly: "Then hit him, since we came to this era, the D-30 howitzer has fired several empty guns, and we have not participated in the actual battle." This time, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate was the first to be defeated. ”
Qiao Haipeng also smiled and said: "The bunnies in the navy must be happy now, at that time, in order to fight for these gun positions, those guys almost fought." But for a few months, I didn't fire a single shot, and this time it was fun for these guys. ”
Then they studied the details of the battle, and then they prepared to go. Li Ming went directly to the garrison of the daredevils, and asked them to also go to the city wall to assist in the defense, and then organized ten detachments of the assault team to also come to the city wall together and set up a simple blocking position.
This time, their infantry was not the main force, and they mainly relied on naval artillery fire and mortars to give full play to their superiority in firepower. No matter how many people come from the other side, don't even think about rushing to the castle of Sakai City. Although they haven't touched the merchants of Sakai in the past few days, these merchants of Sakai have also been a little impatient.
At present, in order to stabilize the other party, these shops have not been moved. However, these merchants are now waiting for the arrival of the shogunate army, and once the shogunate army comes to the castle, they may not be able to cooperate with each other.
Li Ming stood at the head of the city, holding a telescope and looking coldly into the distance, countless shogunate troops had slowly converged here, and the number was enough to twenty or thirty thousand. It seems that all of them are elites, but this time they lost Sakai Port, and it seems that the Tokugawa shogunate was shaken a lot. Li Ming finally understood the reason why the reinforcements were delayed, it turned out that they were mobilizing people everywhere in the past two days, and this was to prepare to recover Sakai Port in one go.
The daredevils on the city wall looked at the Tokugawa shogunate army formation densely packed on the horizon in the distance. All of them had gloomy faces. They didn't expect so many shogunate troops to come, this battle is not easy to fight. These samurai in Japan have an innate inferiority complex for the Tokugawa shogunate's army.
Although the main family was strong and well-armed, the number of shogunate troops on the opposite side was too much. There are only a thousand people on their side, and they can't win by exchanging their lives for their lives.
Fujita glanced back at the samurai of the Death Army, and felt a pessimistic feeling from them, which made him very dissatisfied. He turned his head to Kenji beside him and said gloomily: "Kenji-kun, go see everyone and cheer them up, there is something wrong with the love of those guys now." Cheer them up, and even if the shogunate's army is large, the lord family will be able to defeat them. ”
Kenji nodded, turned around and walked over to the samurai, cheering them up one by one. Although Kenji always had a confident expression in front of those samurai, his heart was full of despair. I didn't expect that I would have to face such a hard battle just after joining a main family, and I really couldn't hide from it. He narrowly escaped from that battle, but he didn't expect to end up running into them.
The morale of the daredevils is not high, and the teaching team is no better here and there. Although the teaching team has gone through a morning of hard street fighting, they have obviously matured a lot, and their eyes are much sharper than before. But in the face of the crowd under the city wall, it would be nonsense to say that he was not afraid. But at least they will not be like when they first entered the battlefield, but hold the steel gun in their hands tightly, silently waiting for the decisive moment to come.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and hundreds of shogunate cavalry had already rushed over. Stopping at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters from the city wall, it was possible that they had already understood the power of the firearms of the Far Eastern Company, so they deliberately distanced themselves from the city wall.
Wang Yaodong turned his head and shouted loudly: "Li Ming, they have entered the effective killing distance of the PK machine gun, now we have opened fire to extinguish them, seeing their appearance of showing off their might, I am so angry." ”
Li Ming smiled, patted Wang Yaodong on the shoulder and said, "Without my order, no one is allowed to shoot, wait for their large army to come up, and greet them with cannons." If you fire now, what if you startle them and scare them away. ”R1152
