Chapter 8: The Nature of Exchange

As soon as the envoy left, the eldest grandson immediately gathered Deng Liangzhi and the generals of the Marine Corps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just when the officers were clamoring and shouting, Changsun Tang and Wu Yuanqing arrived.

A large number of officers just stood up and saluted, according to the practice of later generations of the army, this conference room is no longer the kind of living room style where the host and guest seats are very obvious, but a huge oval conference table in the middle, around which everyone meets.

After the eldest grandson returned the salute, everyone sat down.

Before the eldest grandson sat down, someone shouted: "Master Hou, what is there to talk about with this group of monkeys, according to me, let's rush all the way, see people killing, and meet demons and demons, these people can still leave the masters." "The person who shouted was Tian Ying, the captain of the Marine Corps, and he could be regarded as an old man who followed Changsun Tang, but he was always reluctant to come out of the Marine Corps.

The eldest grandson glanced at him, and Tian Ying immediately closed his mouth obediently. After all, there are still not many hob meat like Ge Feng, and this field camp is a little worried after being cleaned up by Changsun Tang a few times.

Seeing Tian Ying, who was the happiest at this jump, obediently closed his mouth, the eldest grandson said: "This time we came out, the main purpose is not to come to Liwei, but to find our brother. Since we are brothers, I am obligated to send him home, to Jinshan, even if it is a corpse. They are all our brothers, can we watch them die like this? ”

"Can't! No! No! The three earth-shattering shouts made the cabins shake with the "buzz".

The eldest grandson used this brainwashing method in later generations to successfully arouse the fighting spirit of these people. But this is also a double-edged sword, once you don't master it well, it is very likely that you will also get injured. In the name of this to arouse morale, if the result is not given to them, the consequences are also very serious.

This is a great test of Changsun Tang's ability to control. But there is really no other better way for Changsun Tang, after all, this is a lonely army thousands of miles away, and accidents will always exist. If one does not grasp it well, then it is not only a matter of the effect of this expedition, but even the phenomenon of detachment from morality will appear in the future.

"Well, what you're saying here doesn't do much. As I said a morning ago, I am not good at fighting, but I can help you with everything except fighting. So it's up to you to fight. Changsun Yu continued.

Changsun Tang has said this sentence many times in public, but no one dares to underestimate him. Sometimes taking the initiative to expose one's weaknesses does not mean that you are really weak, but rather a sign of self-confidence. Moreover, even if the eldest grandson didn't know how to fight at all, this endless stream of new weapons made no opponent dare to underestimate him.

"Master Hou, I don't know how we should conduct this war?" Deng Liangzhi asked. As the actual commander of the army here, Deng Liangzhi needs to be aware of it, and at the same time, this is also for the eldest grandson to see, which is also more or less a fox and a fake tiger in it.

"Quite simply, force them to hand over our brethren first, and then we will be in complete control of the rest." The eldest grandson set the tone of this battle, which is also the main task of this time, and everything must be carried out around this main line.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

"In order to better complete this mission, I have a few suggestions, let's discuss." Changsun Yu said.

Naturally, the generals below pricked up their ears and listened.

"Today's time has passed for most of the day, so today everyone is still following yesterday's task process. But tomorrow we must make a demonstration of force before the arrival of the envoys of the Japanese kingdom. Yesterday, the Marine scouts had already scouted the terrain around here, so the location was up to you, preferably close to Osaka Castle, in order to achieve the purpose of deterrence. Because Changsun Tang didn't understand this, he made the intention of the general direction clear.

"Master Hou, but you want to target the town?" Deng Liangzhi was the first to react.

"Achieving the goal of deterrence is the first priority, and this is our starting point." Eldest Sun Tang's words were already acquiescing to Deng Liangzhi's question.

"Okay, I'll be the first to rush up." Tian Ying is not a stupid person, and the meaning of the eldest grandson is also understood.

Changsun Tang glared again and continued: "The goal is to achieve the mission without casualties. ”

To tell the truth, in the era of cold weapons, it is really difficult to achieve "zero casualties", which is also one of the reasons why Changsun Tang came over this time with deterrence as the main combat intention.

"This ......" Deng Liangzhi hesitated.

"A few of the ship's guns can be removed as support for the attack." This is what Changsun Tang has thought about early on. In order to reduce the effect of recoil on the ship, the guns on this ship all adopt a wheeled structure, and the outside of the wheel is wrapped with a layer of rubber.

"With artillery, it's much simpler, go up a few cannons, and with these wooden fences in our country, you can definitely blast out a few huge holes. That's easy to do. Tian Ying said.

"Since that's the case, that's fine. There is one more problem. Deng Liangzhi said.

"Just say."

"If this incident causes the Japanese people to become angry, it will be counterproductive." Deng Liangzhi said with some hesitation.

"What you're talking about isn't a big deal, the harder you fight, the better the situation for these brothers." The eldest grandson did not explain the reason for this, but the meaning of these words was already very obvious.

Although this era has begun to change beyond recognition due to the reason of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson has found that the farther away from him, the less this has changed. The character of these Japanese people has always been to bully the weak and fear the hard, and the more they hurt, the more honest they are.

"Okay, no problem." Deng Liangzhi said.

"Do anyone else have any questions?" The eldest grandson asked again.

"Nope." The crowd responded incoherently.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's dismiss." Changsun Yu said.

"Salute!" Deng Liangzhi shouted, and everyone stood up together and shouted loudly. Then they dispersed.

From beginning to end, Wu Yuanqing, who was standing beside the eldest grandson, did not say a word. Because Wu Yuanqing knew that this was the power of Changsun Tang, and it was not for him to interfere.

By the time the sun rose above the sea the next day, the Marines were already on their way. Due to the long-distance voyage, not many horses were carried, so the transportation of the cannons and shells was naturally carried out by people, so only six runs could be transported for combat.

These six doors ran past, leaving shallow rut marks on the road. Fortunately, this is the main road to Osaka, and although it is made of rammed loess, it can still be used to slow down the heavy cannons after years of crushing.

This is a coastal plain, and the volcanic terrain of Wa Province makes it a rare place of affluence, and the population is naturally the most concentrated. So just after noon, we arrived at a market town. Although it is not as large as the villages in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as prosperous in the Wa Kingdom.

Without any superfluous movements or words, just as a group of Japanese people and slaves looked curiously, clouds of white smoke flashed from the muzzle of the cannon, which was formed after the combustion of some of the impurities in the primer of the firing primer.

It didn't take long for a big gap to appear in the low wall with the sound of the explosion. Three shells went over the wall and landed in the town......

Soon, multiple fires broke out in the flammable wooden building. It was only then that the somewhat indifferent people began to think of running away and hiding.

Suddenly, the originally quiet town became noisy, with cries and shouts mixed together.

At this time, dozens of people dressed as samurai rushed out of the originally open walled gate, and such people existed in any country at any time.

It's just that their efforts can't get any effect.

Not long after rushing out of the gate, he was shot by the crossbowmen in front, and everyone was shot like a hedgehog. Occasionally, a samurai who is still moaning without being hit is destined not to see the sun rising tomorrow.

And all the Marines paid for was a few hundred crossbow arrows. Now the arrows of crossbow arrows have begun to be produced in an assembly-line industrial manner, and this consumption is simply a drop in the bucket.

The firing of the artillery continued, and the gunners did not have to aim at all, it was impossible to miss the target at such a huge target at this distance, all they needed to do was to ignite the fire, clean the chamber, fill the firing primer and the shells.

After five rounds of salvo fire, the artillery came to a temporary halt. It's just that the town is basically surrounded by a sea of fire, and there are no more targets to shoot at.

Originally, according to the arrangement of Su I Ezo, the one who went to negotiate today was led by Su Izushi, and when he left, Su I Ezo also specially told him to slow down.

It's just that when Soga Irilu walked slowly to this town, which is considered to be the gateway to Osaka between Osaka and the port, he saw the pillar of smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and he knew that something was wrong.

Although Su I Ezo repeatedly emphasized this incident when he set off, Su I Irishi was still angry.

"Yaga, what are they going to do? Let's go, let's go back. With that, he was ready to turn around.

It's just that this Su I Ezo obviously knows his son's temper, and one of the envoys formed for the third time is obviously responsible for dissuading Su I from entering the deer. According to Su I's instructions, I persuaded Su I to enter the deer. But after they sent back the messenger to report the news, the speed of the journey immediately increased.

When passing through the town, it was obvious that there was no way to pass through the town, so I had to go around in a circle. It's just that when I saw the fleeing refugees and the army led by Deng Liangzhi, Su I Ezo was obviously embarrassed.

Unlike our country's army, which was mainly wooden at this time, the Tang army, which was obviously an iron weapon, was armed to the teeth. The Marines' armor was wrapped in a thick scale armor except for a pair of eyes.

Under the close supervision of a small team of guards, Su I entered the deer and saw the eldest grandson.

"I've seen Master Hou." Su I didn't know what the intention of the eldest grandson was, and in view of the fate of this first envoy, he still bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Changsun Tang just snorted lightly, and there was no other expression.

The anger of Su I into the deer immediately came up again, but the deputy envoy who saw that this situation was not right hurriedly dragged Su I into the deer. While saying: "Master Hou, this is my son-in-law, and I came here to discuss this matter with you this time." ”

Su I was dragged to death when he entered the deer, and then thought of the soldiers under the command of the eldest grandson he met on the road, the original anger was almost gone, he was an authentic strength supremacist, in his mind, strong strength is everything. This is also the reason why he knew that his son had a hot temper, but Su I Ezo still sent him over.

"Hmm, can you call the shots?" The eldest grandson still looks like a hanger. The reason why he did this was to make it unclear what his true purpose was.

"Yes, yes." The deputy envoy nodded vigorously and said.

"It doesn't matter if you can't call the shots, I'll just wait for you to go all the way." The eldest grandson didn't seem to care.

"Yes, yes." At this time, the deputy envoy almost knelt and kowtowed in front of the eldest grandson.

"Did our people bring them here?" The eldest grandson still looks careless.

"I haven't found it for the time being, but my whereabouts are already known, and it is estimated that I will be able to find it when the Hou Ye returns to China." At this time, Su I, who had recovered, was already a character. It's just that these words set two traps for the eldest grandson.

It's said that it hasn't been found for the time being, and the subtext is that the disappearance of your people has nothing to do with us, and we are here to help; When the eldest grandson returns to China, this can be regarded as taking these people hostage.

"Then it's okay, I can wait, give you a day, from the day after tomorrow, in a day your village or town will be exactly the same as the one today. Forget it, let's not give it, let's count it from now on, I'm too lazy to count the days. "It's impossible for the eldest grandson to fall for this.

The so-called rat trap is said to be the truth, once the matter is delayed to a later stage, these crew members become hostages, although they have no worries about food and clothing, and are safe. But it's much more difficult to get home. This is also the only trump card in the hands of the Wa State. If you don't take this trump card, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

And this negotiation is the same as being a human being, once you start to concede the bottom line, then there is no bottom line. Such a scene is something that Changsun Tang absolutely does not want to see.

So where did the detained crew members go? Even the local snake Suga Ezo here doesn't know their whereabouts. Can the eldest grandson take them back to Jinshan smoothly? (To be continued.) )
