In the early winter of November of the eighth year of Chongzhen, when Zhao Lie returned to the camp in Jeju, tens of thousands of water infantry troops had gathered near Jeju, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Lie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Zhao Lie got off the boat, he was welcomed into the camp by Ma Tao, Li Hu, Li Lu, Wang Haizhou, Guan Ming and others.

After the greetings, Zhao Lie first received Fang Yu's summary of the Military Intelligence Department, and after several months of hard work, he also accumulated a lot of content, Zhao Lie now has to watch these spy reports of the Military Intelligence Department immediately whenever he goes to a place, what he is afraid of is that he has missed some major events, so that he will not regret it in the future.

Through these spy reports, Zhao Lie learned that the Ming side of the Ming Dynasty, such as Hong Chengchou, this person has also begun to shine, and now he is the prince Shaobao, the military department Shangshu, the official to the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, is leading the northwest Ming army to exterminate the civil unrest in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, it can be said that the war is in full swing.

Hong Chengchou's Zhao Lie has long admired the name, Hong Chengchou was able to serve as the governor of Shaanxi in his thirties a few years ago, it can be seen that this person is really talented, not the ability to drop the book bag, but the real material to deal with the affairs and control of the Ming Army, otherwise Huang Taiji will not try his best to win him over in the future, and it is even rumored that in order to subdue him, even the concubines are seduced.

Zhao Lie is also very concerned about this person, now he has changed a lot of the process of the Ming Dynasty, and the fate of many people has changed, what will happen to this Hong Chengchou, and what impact will it have on the Broken Army, of course Zhao Lie is extremely concerned, lest cattle like Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng have an adverse impact on the Broken Army.

On the Wa side, more than a dozen forts in Edo Bay had been completed, and at the same time, the people who had gone to Edo to demand reparations were beaten with sticks. The Japanese made it clear that this was a breach of the contract, but they didn't expect that Zhao Lie had been waiting for a long time.

Zhao Lie was not satisfied with the simple indemnity of the Wa State last time, because the strength of the Wa State was not damaged. The root of this nation's inferiority is that if you don't subdue him, he will never give up.

But last year, the broken army also received compensation silver, and the cavalry is still complete, so it is really not the time to start immediately, but this year's cavalry can be said to be in its infancy, and there is an attempt to build a slave force, but it is enough for the ashiki of the Shangwei country. It's a good place to see the blood.

Therefore, what Zhao Lie lacks now is precisely the breaking of the contract by the Japanese general Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he will not pay the compensation, otherwise it will be really unknown for some divisions to fight directly.

This time, a hundred generals and more than a dozen guards were dispatched, and only two of them escaped back to the ship. The others were beheaded by the samurai of the Tokugawa clan on the way.

Since the great general Iemitsu dared to use the Ming people to make the big stick, of course the other flag warriors would not be polite, and they couldn't repay so many people when they went back, so the others became the targets of these samurai sword practice. These two were deliberately put back by the Tokugawa samurai. is to repay the army and humiliate the army.

Zhao Lie sneered and slapped the letter and looked at the people in front of him, "Hmph, the Japanese are treacherous, and this year's arrears have not been paid, because they feel that there is a big fortress to protect Edo Bay, and our sailors are blocked outside Edo Bay, so there is no threat to them." As for the Ming people's infantry army, hehe. ”

Zhao Lie suddenly raised his voice,

"They think that the combat power of the Ming infantry army is nothing more than that, in the battle of Qingchang Wenlu, they killed a lot of Ming troops in Korea in the past few years, and many Ming troops even saw that the Ming army would only run away, look, some Ming troops at that time had thrown their faces outside the territory, shame."

Everyone was very unconvinced when they heard this, but they also had to endure it, there was no way to fight fiercely in Korea at that time, there were also their ancestors, and the Denglai sailors also fought fiercely with the Japanese people at sea, and there were defeats and victories, which could not be regarded as a big defeat or loss.

But such a large empire has been competing with a small Japanese country for several years, and the opponent who has not been defeated neatly is actually a small defeat, which does not match the great name of the Ming Empire.

"It's just that they forgot one thing, my broken army is not those bad Ming army soldiers, my broken army defeated Jiannu several times, killed more than 10,000 Jin troops, and wiped out 100,000 rebels in three wars, hahaha, Tokugawa Iemitsu dared to despise my broken army, and dared to harm our army's messenger, what should our army do." Zhao Lie glared at everyone angrily.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." Yu Dabao, who had been silent, suddenly roared.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." The other generals immediately responded with a bang, and the sound shook the tent.

"Well, very good, I heard that Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in the Wa Kingdom, and the Imperial Family and the people of the Wa Kingdom call it the Holy Mountain Sacred Peak, and the general is going to plant the military flag of the Broken Army on Mt. Fuji, can you do it for the general."

Zhao Lieji pointed in the direction of the Eastern Wa Kingdom.

"The subordinates will step on Mount Fuji and make the Japanese kingdom submit." Everyone said in unison.

"Very well, let's sit down." Zhao Lie said with a smile. "Li Hu, Li Lu, you can tell me about the situation of the Shuibu Army gathered here."

"Lord Bing, now the Navy Division has brought together thirty Song-class warships, forty Tang-class warships, ten Sui-class Han-class ships, sixty Jeju-class cruisers, fifty flying clippers, more than thirty Songshan-class merchant ships, and twenty-six other sea ships." Li Hu bowed and saluted back.

Zhao Lie nodded, this time this is the main force of the Jeju Naval Division, fortunately, the task of transporting Denglai refugees to Beihua has just been completed, and all the transport fleets have just returned, which is also neatly prepared.

"Lord Bing, now that 4,000 Beihua soldiers and 8,000 reserve troops have arrived three days ago, 4,000 soldiers from Shidao, 5,000 soldiers from Jeju Town, and more than 2,000 North Korean troops have been waiting for a long time. In addition, a total of 38,000 war horses have been sent out, and now the soldiers are familiar with the war horses, mainly the war horses of the Beihua Reserve Army, many of which are newly issued Shidao horses, so they still have to run in. ”

Li Lu said respectfully.

"Very good, this expedition to the Wa State, is to use the horse army, after all, the Wa State General Qiben samurai thousands, standing 80,000, including more than 5,000 cavalry, this is still the Tokugawa family's own team, if the Tokugawa shogunate issued a general order, I'm afraid that the Daimyo of Honshu will form a coalition to compete with our army, hum, I'm afraid there are more than 200,000, so plus the shogunate standing I'm afraid there are 300,000,"

Zhao Lie made an inspection and observed the expressions of his subordinates,

"In this way, our army is outnumbered, just like Jiannu attacking the Ming Dynasty, therefore, our army cannot attack the city, that is, to use field invincibility to destroy the opponent, well, you tell me what kind of tactics this war is for the Japanese country."

"According to what the adults said, my subordinates have thought of a way, as long as the enemy is attacked, they will be saved, and they can surround the point and send reinforcements, just like the Daling River." Han Jian said first, he was fearless, what to say.

"Then Lord Han will tell me what is the place where the Japanese people will be saved." Since the grievances in Jeju back then, as long as there is an opportunity, Guan Ming will definitely make trouble for Han Jian.

"Uh," Han Jian grinned, "the best thing is of course the town of Edo, the town of the Japanese generals, but unfortunately now surrounded by forts, the cannons of the Netherlands are still very sharp, so... ”

Han Jian also scratched his head, he had estimated the idea he had put forward for a long time, and it was very feasible, that is, there was one thing, how the naval fleet could enter Edo Bay under enemy fire was a big problem.

"Haha, why can't it be Edo, I think Edo is fine." Zhao Lie pointed to the location of Edo on the map.

"It's just my lord, Edo now has nearly twenty large forts and hundreds of huge cannons, and even if our army takes it, it will be extremely bad." Guan Ming stumbled, and he was also strong, which was always the right adult's approval.

"Who said that our army wants to attack Edo Bay, it is completely possible to land outside Edo Bay, and it can reach Edo directly within two days, the reason why this general is all cavalry is for this reason, Jiannu can detour thousands of miles into Kou Daming Gyeonggi, and I am just waiting for hundreds of miles." Zhao Lie waved his hand magnificently.

"What your lord said is that if you land in the west or northeast of Edo, and then make a detour to attack Edo, but in two days the cavalry can drive directly to Edo, and then see how the so-called Japanese general will deal with himself, but at this time he has no father to supervise him, but I don't know if he can be scared to pee."

Han Jian laughed haughtily.

"But it's so far away, I'm afraid there won't be much grain to bring with the horses, and I'm afraid I'll run out of food in a few days when I get to Edo." Li Lu raised a question.

This is also true, after all, it is winter, and there is not much forage outside, so many of them rely on the miscellaneous grains brought by the horses to supply two war horses, one horse camel man, and one horse with grain, which really can't bring much rice.

However, the amount of grain consumed by tens of thousands of horses dispatched by the army is astronomical, and if it is not prepared, the time will be out of food, and if the troops are divided to escort the grain, one is to divert the military strength of the broken army, which is not too sufficient, and then there is a grain road is the largest landing point of the broken army, and the advantage of cavalry mobility is lost.

"You still have to ask this question, how did Jiannu do it." Zhao Lie said coldly.

Everyone immediately realized, yes, they will feed the enemy.

"The Japanese people are densely populated, and there is more or less surplus food at home, so I went to get it myself along the way, and told my subordinates to strictly enforce military discipline, and never become a beast soldier like Kong Youde, but we must never be soft on those who resist, and kill all of them to warn others,"

Zhao Lie's expression was a little hideous, but it was just to collect some food on the territory of the Japanese people, compared to the various bestialities of the Japanese people in later generations, it was not worth mentioning, if it wasn't for the damage to the morale of the army, he didn't mind killing, anyway, the Japanese people were narrow and densely populated, maybe there were also Japanese scholars in later generations who said that the reduction of the army was very good, who can say clearly,

"How have the Japanese treated me in the past hundred years, and there are coastal people in the Ming Dynasty, and this time it is a blood debt to be repaid."

Everyone agreed loudly, and they were used to the gaffes of the always calm adults when they mentioned the Wa Kingdom.

"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, let's choose a suitable place for the army." Zhao Lie pointed to the map, and everyone looked there. (To be continued.) )
