Edo had already won a decisive victory, and the purpose of the battle ordered by Zhao Hongyu had been accomplished.

It's just that the news from the Edo side has not been fed back to Zhao Hongyu for the time being.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu, who is in Osaka City, is still more or less worried about this.

After all, for him, only if Edo Castle is victorious, can his side make the next move.

And the victory of Edo Castle will also make him have a good name in name.

In this way, when he enters Kyushu in the future, he will encounter less resistance.

After all, he didn't want to get caught up in a people's war.

He didn't want to waste most of his time killing the rebels.

Besides, he came to the Wa Kingdom this time, just to find a little unhappiness for the Wa Kingdom and satisfy a little ambition in his heart.

Now, his current ambition has been achieved.

Therefore, there is no need to entangle with the Japanese people.

You must know that Lu Dao came to the East this time, and the Japanese people were not the purpose at all, he wanted to immigrate to the Americas from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is always not good to keep the Japanese state, but now is not the time to solve this problem.

Anyway, now that he has made the Japanese uncomfortable, then when the time is right, he will think about this problem.

As a Chinese person, I don't have a good impression of the Japanese people in my bones.

Zhao Hongyu is no exception to this.

This is also the reason why he came to the East for what happened, and when he had another chance, he had to make more moves and find a little unhappy for the Japanese people.

After all, it is time to come to this era, and still have such a force.

If he can still let go of the Wa Kingdom, wouldn't he be a Chinese man for nothing?

Although this idea is rather chauvinistic, alas, who would say anything in the seventeenth century.

Now for Zhao Hongyu, everything he wants to do in the country has been done. The rest will depend on what happens on the Edo side.

As long as the Edo side succeeds, then he will be able to have a base in Kyushu.

The immigrants of the Ming Dynasty would be sent to Kyushu, and then use Kyushu as a base to begin to radiate to the Americas.

Of course, there's also Hawaii halfway down the road, which can be used as a stopover along the way.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu didn't know that when he left the Americas, several warships sent had already discovered Australia.

Otherwise, he could now consider two avenues for the daimyo immigrants.

One is the Americas. The other one is Australia.

However, communication in this era is very troublesome after all, and Zhao Hongyu has not yet developed the skills of remote communication, so it is impossible for him to know these things at all.

Not to mention that in the six months since he left the Americas, a lot has happened in the Americas and Europe.

But even if he knew the truth, what could he do?

He himself is still here in the East, and there is no way to contribute.

So, for the Americas and for the European side. Zhao Hongyu didn't think about it.

Besides, there are Song Hu and Zhang Tie and Professor Liu on the American continent, and there will be no problems in the future.

There is also a king mountain on the west coast, and he will control it very well.

For these people. Zhao Hongyu never worries about anything.

Because he knows that anyone in this world will betray him, and it is impossible to believe it too much.

But these people are worthy of trust and trust.

Of course. There are also stereotypical genetic people cultivated in batches, and they are also reliable troops under Zhao Hongyu's command.

As long as these people exist, then Zhao Hongyu has nothing to worry about.

Now. A brief period of calm had been restored to Osaka Castle, and the crusading army outside the city was still besieging Osaka Castle, and they had no intention of retreating.

Zhao Hongyu was worried that the other party was playing some ulterior motives, and it was likely that he wanted to come to Yin.

So, it made him a little nervous.

"Your Highness, I suspect that the crusading army outside the city is likely to trap us, so they will stop attacking." , Tokugawa Kayo, who accompanied Zhao Hongyu to the head of the city, looked at the camp of the crusading army with a telescope, and said to Zhao Hongyu.

In the telescope, Tokugawa Kayo saw that the camp of the crusading army was in good order, and there was no trace of chaos at all.

At the same time, there are quite a few patrols outside the camp, as if to prevent them from leaving Osaka Castle. Therefore, based on these actions of the crusading army, Tokugawa Kayo came to such a conclusion.

That is, the crusading army wants to win without a fight.

And the method of the crusading army is to surround Osaka Castle to the death, and then achieve this goal.

If you think about it carefully, the purpose of the crusading army is actually not very difficult to understand.

That's what Tokugawa Kayo thought of.

In the attack a few days ago, the crusading army was very fierce and tenacious.

But behind these, it is the lives of countless soldiers who have paid for it.

The cost is not insignificant.

The proof is that the dense corpses on the edge of the moat outside Osaka City are the best interpretation.

With such a large loss of troops, it is impossible for the crusading army to support it for too long.

So, it's normal for them to change tactics.

After all, although the siege of Osaka Castle was slow to bear fruit compared to a hard attack, it was able to minimize losses.

Even, it is possible to achieve the goal of winning without a fight.

Today, the main roads leading to the outside of Osaka are blocked, and the gates are lined up with raider camps on all sides.

Under such circumstances, as long as Osaka Castle is besieged, it will not be possible to receive the slightest material replenishment.

This is very dangerous and deadly for the people in the city.

In the eyes of the crusaders, as long as they besieged Osaka Castle, they would lose their combat effectiveness when the people in the castle had consumed all the food.

And he didn't have to work hard to use his own life to capture Osaka Castle.

Besides, it's not like the crusaders haven't tried such a method.

Seven days of continuous siege warfare of sufficient intensity, except for the loss of a large number of soldiers, they did not take advantage of it at all.

Even without crossing the moat of Osaka Castle, more than 10,000 warriors were lost.

God knows if the road crosses the moat. When I came to Osaka Castle, I lost a lot.

Therefore, it is definitely not the best choice.

Tokugawa Kayo changed his position and put himself in the role of the commander of the crusading army, and it was easy to judge the other party's intentions.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu narrowed his eyes and stared at the crusading army camp outside the city for a while.

After a long time, Zhao Hongyu sneered.

"Hmph, it's so whimsical to want to use this trick against us."

Zhao Hongyu is not wrong when he says this. After all, he has a plug-in against the sky.

Therefore, this trick is unlikely to have any effect on him at all.

However, if this method is applied to other people, it will definitely work.

But who let the crusading army meet Zhao Hongyu, such a guy with a special plug-in, it can be regarded as their bad luck.

But Tokugawa Kayo didn't know what to do, so she said to Zhao Hongyu with a worried face: "Your Highness, this method of the enemy is still very useful, they can afford it, we can't afford it." After all, their supplies can be replenished. But we eat a little less food in the city, especially now that we feed our soldiers five meals a day, and we also have meat for each meal. ”

Honestly. The food for the soldiers in Osaka Castle was very good.

Here in the Japanese country, basically the food of a small daimyo is not necessarily so good.

Pork beef and mutton stewed with potatoes. There are also various soups made of bones and sticks, rice and white flour steamed buns, which make Tokugawa Kayo drool.

But it also makes Tokugawa Kayo think. It's such a luxury.

Usually some of the wealthy daimyo don't eat like this every day, but the soldiers in Osaka Castle eat like this every day and eat five meals a day.

That's a lot of material.

Even though there is some food in Osaka Castle, I guess I can't stand it.

If all this food is eaten up one day, the morale of Osaka Castle will definitely plummet.

When the time comes, they will not be able to break through the siege, and they will starve to death if they stay in the city.

That's a big deal.

Kayo Tokugawa is a girl, so she thinks about the problem more delicately.

And Zhao Hongyu also told her that even if they can break through in this situation, they can't break through.

Because after breaking through to the descent, they have nowhere to go at all.

The fleet is on its way to Edo, and there is no news yet.

Therefore, even if they left Osaka, it would not be possible to board the warship and leave the Wakoku.

At the same time, after leaving Osaka, they became rootless duckweeds, and they had to face the tailing and pursuit of the crusading army, which was a very passive and unwise choice.

After all, the crusading army has an advantage in strength, and it is still very disadvantageous for oneself in a field battle.

However, if you are stationed in Osaka Castle to deal with the raiders, the strength advantage of the raiders will be nullified.

With the advantage of your own weapons, you can completely reverse this situation and turn it into your favor.

Alas!

Kayo Tokugawa could only sigh in his heart.

Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the worried Tokugawa Kayo and her sad look.

However, there were some things he couldn't tell Tokugawa Yoshiaki, after all, it was his secret.

"Kayo, you don't have to worry too much, the food in our Osaka Castle is enough for us to eat like this for half a year. And I think there will be news about the Edo side in a while, so we don't have to wait half a year at all. ”

Thinking about it, Zhao Hongyu can only comfort Tokugawa Kayo like this.

What, you can still eat it for half a year!

Tokugawa Kayo widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Zhao Hongyu, who was grinning.

She couldn't figure it out, but unfortunately Zhao Hongyu couldn't tell her the truth.

At this time, a shinobi belonging to Iga appeared not far away.

He knelt on one knee and respectfully reported to Hattori Chizuru before disappearing into a cloud of white smoke.

Hattori Chizuru looked at Zhao Hongyu and Tokugawa Yoshiyo with a happy face and said, "There is news from Edo Castle!" (To be continued......)
