Chapter 1168: The Ultimate Battle (3)
Wu Ming said: "However, if we don't obey the orders of the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen will think that we have a heart of disobedience, and when the time comes, he will inevitably dispatch Mao Wenlong, Shen Yourong and even Yuan Chonghuan and other troops to encircle and suppress us. ”
Qiao Youhua pondered for a moment and said: "That's it, Haidong, you lead 80,000 main forces into the customs to participate in the battle against bandits, and I will stay with Ma Biao and Wu Ming, continue to recruit soldiers and horses, and expand our strength, anyway, Emperor Chongzhen gave two million taels of silver, plus our Shenyang Town controls such a large territory, and it should not be a problem to raise another 100,000 troops." The Daming Navy Division is still in the leading position in the world in this era, as long as we have enough soldiers, we can wave our troops eastward to attack the Japanese archipelago and completely sweep away the Japan that threatens the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Good! That's it. Jiang Haidong and the others nodded in agreement.
Three days later, the army separated, and Qiao Youhua led the remaining more than 40,000 people to stay in Shenyang and other places to continue to expand their strength.
Jiang Haidong led a main force of 80,000, including 60,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and was ordered to enter the pass, and Yuan Chonghuan joined the various departments in the pass to encircle and suppress the peasant army that was in rebellion in the northwest and other places.
At this time, the peasant army was a chaotic people who were fooled into rebellion by some people, and it was still far from a truly militarized regular army, and it was naturally different from Li Zicheng's invincible Dashun elite.
As long as Daming does not have the biggest border trouble of Houjin, even if Yuan Chonghuan and Jiang Haidong do not enter the customs, with the national strength of Daming alone, it will not be long before the peasant army that is in rebellion can be wiped out one by one.
Now there are more than 160,000 elites, of which only 80,000 are cavalry, and when they join the battlefield in Guannai, it goes without saying that those rabble peasant army will end.
In less than half a year, the peasant armies everywhere were exterminated one after another.
And the casualties of the Ming army were minimal.
The repeated encirclement and suppression operations not only improved the combat effectiveness of the troops entering the customs, but also tempered the combat units in the customs and created a group of elite divisions for the imperial court.
Three months later, Jiang Haidong led his troops across the Shanhai Pass and officially returned north to Shenyang Town.
In the past nine months, Qiao Youhua and others have successively recruited another 60,000 horses in various parts of the Northeast, making the total number of troops under the command of Shenyang Town reach 180,000.
The internal and external troubles were all swept away, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and ordered Qiao Youhua to be the general of the expedition to the east, the rank of military attaché of the first grade, Jiang Haidong was the general of the expedition to the west, Ma Biao was the general of the expedition to the north, and Wu Ming was the general of the expedition to the south, and the three of them were all from the rank of military attaché.
At the same time, Qiao Youhua was crowned as the generalissimo of the Liaodong Soldiers and Horses, and was responsible for all the Ming army and naval divisions outside Shanhaiguan and even on the Korean Peninsula.
In other words, Shen Yourong's 100,000 army, Zhang Pan's 50,000 army, and Mao Wenlong's 60,000 army all had to accept Qiao Youhua's control.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qiao Youhua asked for an eastward expedition to attack the Japanese archipelago, completely sweep away Japan's troubles, let Emperor Chongzhen be the first emperor of the ages who surpassed the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and let the territory of the Ming Dynasty far surpass the previous dynasties and become the first great country.
Emperor Chongzhen was aroused by Qiao Youhua's ambition, and immediately ordered all the departments of the imperial court to fully assist, step up shipbuilding, raise food and prepare for the eastward expedition.
The entire Ming Dynasty's war machine was running at a rapid pace.
Half a year later, Emperor Chongzhen mobilized 200,000 troops from all over the Guannai and handed them over to Yuan Chonghuan to command, appointing him as the deputy commander of the Eastern Expedition to assist Qiao Youhua in the East Expedition to Japan.
At the same time, more than 500 warships and 30,000 sailors were transferred from Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang coastal areas to the Eastern Expeditionary Corps.
It can be said that at that time, the whole country was preparing for this expedition to Japan.
So far, Qiao Youhua's subordinates have gathered more than 600,000 water and land troops, including 590,000 infantry cavalry troops and 80,000 sailors.
After choosing an auspicious day for the zodiac, Qiao Youhua, Jiang Haidong, Shen Yourong, Yuan Chonghuan and others ordered a large army to go out to the sea from Busan, North Korea, and 690,000 land and water troops crossed the Tsushima Strait and went straight to Kyushu Island, Japan.
At this time, the main force of the devil demihuman race on the Japanese archipelago was still in Edo, which was later Tokyo, and the final fierce battle with the Tokugawa shogunate began.
They never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would move so quickly and mobilize six or seven hundred thousand troops to attack the Japanese mainland in such a short period of time.
Although the devils have also deployed some sailors to patrol and guard the waters near Kyushu Island such as the Tsushima Strait, they are completely vulnerable in the face of the overwhelming ships of the Daming Navy.
The four Qiao Youhua brothers personally led the first batch of 100,000 elite troops, with the assistance of the naval division, to easily break through the Japanese defense line and successfully land on Kyushu Island.
The 100,000 army was dominated by cavalry, and after the four brothers landed, they each led more than 20,000 people, pursued and killed separately, and swept the entire Kyushu Island quickly with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and in less than four days, they occupied and conquered the entire Kyushu Island.
At this time, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Shen Yourong, and Zhang Pan led the army in batches, with 100,000 people as a group, and landed on Kyushu Island one after another.
The next step was the attack on the Japanese mainland.
There are Qiao Youhua and their four super fierce generals, plus the existence of the invincible naval division of the Ming army, as well as the absolute superiority in troops and firearms.
The attack on the Japanese island of Honshu did not take much effort, and three days later, the 200,000-strong Ming army had captured a large area in the western part of the island and wiped out more than 50,000 Japanese troops.
Qiao Youhua personally led the army to continue to advance, and then ordered Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao to lead an army of 50,000 each, with the assistance of the naval division, to outflank Tokyo from the north and south waters of Japan's Honshu Island at the same time.
Advance with yourself by land and water, besiege the Tokyo metropolitan area, and completely eliminate the power of the Tokugawa shogunate and the demi-human race.
At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate had been beaten to the death of the Japanese rebel army led by the demi-humans, and less than 50,000 people were left in the city of Tokyo, and there were still more than 100,000 Japanese demi-humans.
Although it still has the strength to fight, it is far inferior to the Ming army.
Seven days later, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Shen Yourong and others led hundreds of thousands of follow-up troops to land on Japan's Honshu Island one after another, following Qiao Youhua's 200,000 elites, and moved forward.
The 100,000 roundabout troops led by Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao also successfully outflanked and landed one after another from Tokyo Bay and other places.
Ma Biao and Jiang Haidong easily broke through their defenses and successfully joined Qiao Youhua in the Tokyo area.
The next day, the four Qiao Youhua brothers joined forces to go into battle, and Qiao Youhua beheaded a ninth-level master in the demi-human race, completely defeating the demi-human race, and then hundreds of thousands of Ming troops launched an unprecedented large-scale onslaught on the Tokyo metropolitan area where the Japanese devils were trapped.
Nearly 700,000 Ming troops attacked in turn, and finally completely wiped out all the resistance on the Japanese archipelago at the cost of more than 100,000 casualties.
Due to the heavy casualties, after the city was broken, the red-eyed Ming army launched an exterminating three-light policy in the Tokyo metropolitan area, killing all, looting and burning all.
Killing all the millions of Japanese robbers in the Tokyo metropolitan area is considered to be a vent of anger.
Since then, the vitality of Little Japan has been greatly damaged, and it no longer dares to underestimate the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army has completely conquered the Japanese archipelago, which is also the first time in the history of the devil to be conquered by foreign people.
