But despite this, Lin Yiqing still has full confidence in capturing Kumamoto Castle!

Lin Yiqing unconsciously turned his head and looked at the several Satsuma Naval Academy cadets who were accompanying him, and just happened to meet the gaze of Yusaku Uehara.

Seeing the expectation in the teacher's eyes when he looked at him, Yusaku Uehara straightened up, and his face showed an incomparable look of confidence.

"Today's Kumamoto is different from the past." Tsunara Oyama was obviously much more sober than the samurai, and he looked around at everyone and said in a loud voice, "Once Kumamoto can't be attacked for a long time, what will happen?" ”

"Dashan-kun, don't say anything about frustration and sharpness!" Murata Shinpachi saw Oyama Tsunayo's worried look and wanted to strengthen his confidence, so he said with a smile, "We have Lin Jun, and there is no city that cannot be attacked. ”

Murata Shinpachi was the Great Castle of the Imperial Palace, a loyal and upright man, and Saigo Takamori was like a brother, and he once angered the lord of Satsuma with Saigo Takamori, and was exiled with Saigo Takamori. He participated in the Boshin War, and after the Restoration, he also went to Europe and the United States to investigate, and was a relatively advanced person among the samurai under Saigo Takamori, and was a rare artillery expert in the Satsuma army.

Hearing Murata Shinhachi say that Lin Yiqing had a way to break Kumamoto, Oyama Tsunashi immediately asked Lin Yiqing: "Lin Jun has a way to break Kumamoto Castle?" Can you sue one or two? ”

"The heavenly machine must not be leaked, and the mountain will understand when the time comes." Kirino Toshiaki replied with a smile and preemptively replied for Lin Yiqing.

"Listen to what Murata Jun said, Lin Jun, you seem to have a strategy to win, can you tell me about it, so as to calm everyone's hearts." Oyama Tsunaya saw the somewhat mysterious smiles of Kirino Toshiaki and Lin Yiqing, who were a pair of Weng sons-in-law, and seemed to understand something, so he couldn't help but take a long breath and asked.

It is not so much that he believes that Toshiaki Kirino has a strategy for victory, but that he believes in Lin Yiqing.

Through the contact with Lin Yiqing in the past two years, he has firmly believed in Lin Yiqing's ability.

"After discussing with Kirino Jun and Shinohara-kun, the strategy I decided on is very similar to the strategy that Nomura-kun just said, but it is slightly different." Lin Yiqing praised Nomura Shinosuke in this way, then stepped forward, pointed to the map and said, "One part of our army will first take Nagasaki, Oita and other ports, cut off the enemy's approach, and one will directly attack Kumamoto and Kokura, so that the whole island of Kyushu can be obtained; And when our army raises troops, the Tosa army will respond, and Shikoku can get it; Then, the combined forces will advance by sea and land, and go straight to Osaka and Kyoto, and then half of the land west of Osaka in Honshu will be obtained, and then go straight to Tokyo, and the major event can be decided. ”

"Even if our army fails to attack Tokyo, in such a situation, Tokyo will inevitably be shaken and uneasy, and our army will fight against the rebellion with Shun, and it is not known that there may be loyal people to take the head of the rebels such as Okubogawa Road to meet them." Shinohara Kunikan smiled and said, "Then maybe our army won't have to attack Tokyo." ”

"Lin Jun's strategy is indeed superior to Nomura Jun, but he still ignores one point, that is, the navy." In addition to appreciating it, Oyama Tsunashi still expressed his worries, "If our army wants to advance by sea and land, the government's navy will inevitably come to intercept it, and our army lacks ships, and it may be difficult to resist the enemy with only a few ships of the 'Sea Surprise Force'." In fact, what I'm more worried about is that once our army's attack on Kumamoto is frustrated, and the government uses the navy to cover the army's invasion of our port, how will it respond? ”

"As the chief instructor of the naval academy, Lin Jun has always attached importance to the role of the navy, and he has previously suggested that I raise funds to purchase warships from Western countries, and I have complied with them, but unfortunately because of the purchase of guns, ammunition, food, and medicines, the financial resources are insufficient, and in addition, the government has secretly obstructed the sale of ships by other countries to our Satsuma, and now only three small shallow-water gunboats have been purchased from the Qianguo. Oyama Tsunashi continued, "The strength of our navy is too thin, once the ironclad ships purchased by the government return to China to participate in the war, I am afraid that our army will be difficult to resist!" ”

"What Oyama-kun said is extremely true." Lin Yiqing nodded and replied, "I have all known about the situation of the government navy, and while secretly interfering with and obstructing our purchase of ships, in addition to ordering two ironclad ships in the United Kingdom, it has also purchased military ships from the United States on a large scale. In this regard, I have developed a special response plan to ensure that after the start of the war, our army can travel smoothly by sea. I didn't talk about it in the strategy I just mentioned. ”

"Oh?" Dashan Tsunaliang listened to Lin Yiqing's words, and was surprised, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief, "What kind of plan is it?" Can Lin Jun talk about it? ”

"If this plan wants to succeed, it will be kept secret first, so I can't tell you for the time being." Lin Yiqing said to Oyama Tsunashi with a slight apology, "But please rest assured that the government navy will never become a threat to our army." ”

"If someone said such a thing to me, I would definitely think that he was crazy, but if you Lin Jun said such a thing, it would be different." Oyama Tsunashi looked at Lin Yiqing and said meaningfully.

"This time the army is raised, and all the logistics matters are all up to Dashanjun." Lin Yiqing is colorful. Although Oyama Tsunara was appointed by the government as the Kagoshima prefectural commander, so he was not treated well by the samurai, but Lin Yiqing knew that Oyama Tsunara was good at internal affairs intelligence and organization and mobilization, and was an indispensable talent for the Satsuma Army's move this time, so he said so.

"Lin Jun rest assured, he will live up to Mr. Nanzhou's trust." Oyama Tsunashi said, bowing to Saigo Takamori and Lin Yiqing respectively.

"Lin Jun's strategy is feasible, so let's decide!" Kunigan Shinohara, looking at everyone, asked.

The samurai agreed. So the strategic plan of the Satsuma Army was thus decided.

"This uprising is to oppose the oppression of the Okubo traitors and their minions, to relieve the people of the world from hanging upside down, and to clear the monarch's side, not for their own selfishness, and the matter is not right and wrong," Lin Yiqing said again, "We want to solemnly announce the crime of the Okubo traitor, and beat the drum to ask for it!" It's not against His Majesty the Emperor and the people! Please keep it in mind! ”

Hearing Lin Yiqing's words, many warriors unconsciously bowed and replied loudly: "Haha! And Saigo Takamori breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of his long-standing thoughts.

"Liqiu, you really recruited a very good son-in-law!" Saigo Takamori said to Toshiaki Kirino with a smile, breaking the somewhat tense and dull atmosphere of the scene.

When Kirino Toshiaki heard Saigo Takamori's praise, his face also showed a rare look of self-satisfaction.

At this time, Lin Yiqing looked at the excited warriors, and knew that this war, which his little butterfly was pushing behind his back, was finally going to break out in a completely different form from history.
