Chapter 1263: Mang Gurtai's heartache
Compared with the embarrassment of the reckless Gurtai retreat, Obama and Governor Kobayashi's pursuit was very easy.
Because of the speed of the heavy cavalry and the infantry, both of them knew very well that they would not be able to catch up with the retreating Houjin army in a short time, and this was still a plain area, so the two of them and the army seemed very leisurely when they advanced.
Of course, although the pursuit process is very leisurely, vigilance is also indispensable.
They didn't want to be killed by the Houjin army and bury the originally good situation.
Therefore, several cavalry members in Governor Kobayashi's army were sent out as scouts. Specifically for the situation of the retreating Houjin army, effective spying was carried out.
On the way, Obama and Nobunaga Kobayashi had a deep conversation.
As a result, President Kobayashi received a great deal of information about the American continent from Obama.
The more he learned, the more fearful he became of the Empire.
In Obama's mouth, the strength of the Song Empire is unquestionable.
And those things that seemed to him to be unimaginable at all existed in the distant Song Empire.
For example, a monster called a 'train' that can make a huge sound and carry a huge weight. There are also 'wireless telephones' that can talk to people from afar through the air, and even iron ships......
This kind of magical thing only appears in mythological stories.
But, according to Obama, these were all real in the distant Song Empire.
Of course, when Obama brings it up. The tone was very embarrassing and emotional.
Because Obama said he didn't believe it himself.
But since seeing these things and appearing in his life, he finally has to believe it.
The Manhattan-Ontario railroad has been opened, and there is a huge amount of freight moving between the two places every day.
Ethnic Europeans living in Manhattan and Ontario see 'whooshing' trains on the railroad every day, and even never get tired of watching such scenes.
The reaction of these people is not surprising at all.
In terms of people's perception in this era, things like trains. It will indeed cause such a sensation and interest in people.
Know the way. Trains and their contents are far beyond the scope of people's cognition in this era.
However, trains were not the only thing that shocked and shocked people within the cities that appeared on the American continent and were controlled by the Song Empire.
It's something like this that shocks people. And many, many more.
With the efforts of Zhang Tie. Like some modern foundations. The Song Empire, which had already begun to be established on the American continent, had a prototype in the country.
After all, they have already obtained Zhao Hongyu's authorization, and they can purchase no more than a certain amount of goods through the Metaverse, right?
It's just that. The things that appeared in the Song Empire were beyond the cognition of people in this era.
In the case that people can't understand it thoroughly, Zhang Tie and the others have no choice but to excuse that this is something given by the gods.
However, it has to be mentioned that it is precisely because of such an excuse that people really accept these shocking things in a very short period of time.
It can be seen that people in this era still have a big market for superstition.
Zhao Hongyu has been away from the Americas for about a year, so he has some understanding of the development of the Americas through letters.
In this era, communication is, after all, a modern time and space that is not as advanced as the technology.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu only knew about the changes in the Song Empire he created on the American continent.
But what exactly has changed, he still hasn't seen with his own eyes.
You must know that the development of the empire has been the fastest in the year he has left.
If Zhao Hongyu really wants to return to the American continent, it is estimated that he himself will be shocked by the changes in the cities of the Song Empire on the American continent.
If there is one adjective to describe the Song Empire on the American continent, it is 'steampunk'.
This is because the development of the Americas was not obtained step by step through the establishment of basic industries and the accumulation of various technologies.
The process of its development is completely opportunistic cheating.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Song Empire has become a four-like one.
Although the Song Empire also selected some good seedlings to teach them to learn some knowledge. But the primary knowledge of Lanxiang Technical School can at most train a large number of basic workers for the empire, and it cannot train senior engineers at all.
Therefore, for a long time, people's minds still cannot be greatly emancipated.
With the advent of the Interception Sect, no matter what kind of achievements people have in the future, they will definitely be summarized to the gods.
Of course, this is not the case with the education of Chinese people within the empire.
But in any case, the Americas that Obama spoke of, it was an amazing and magical land.
Although President Kobayashi has never been to the Americas, he has not seen the cities of the Song Empire in the Americas with his own eyes, and he has experienced the living environment and customs there.
But just listening to Obama say this also made him yearn for it very much.
I really want to see this amazing country.
Governor Kobayashi made such an exclamation about Obama.
Obama smiled and patted Governor Kobayashi on the shoulder and encouraged him, "As long as you are loyal to the empire and do your best for the empire." Then you will definitely have the opportunity to visit the Americas. ”
To this, President Kobayashi just smiled and did not respond.
As an Oriental, President Kobayashi, who has an Oriental mindset, doesn't think it's so simple.
Loyalty is key, of course, but is loyalty enough?
Apparently. If you want to go to the Americas, you need more than just loyalty. You also have to be able to do things, have eyes, and be able to get the favor of the crown prince or General Zhou.
Going to the American continent dominated by the Song Empire is definitely a pilgrimage.
In addition, only those who are recognized will be able to travel to the Americas.
Obama didn't know that the man on his side had such mixed ideas.
This is where Europeans and Orientals think differently.
Europeans like Barack Obama don't think it's so complicated.
Opposite. The Oriental is different.
President Kobayashi is secretly determined. I must work hard to get a chance to go to the Americas, and even be able to become a person of the Song Empire in the Americas.
It's not like it is now, it's just the Kyushu people under the control of the Song Empire.
Yes. President Kobayashi wants to be a Song person. And not the Wa.
Zhao Hongyu is not here. No one knows about this decision of President Kobayashi.
However, even if he knows it, Zhao Hongyu will not object, and will even add fuel to the fire.
Because if such a trend of thought spreads, for the Song Empire and himself. There are only good and no harm.
At this moment, everyone does not know what to do, and this decision that President Kobayashi came up with at this time will affect all the Japanese people of Kyushu in the future, so that it will expand to the entire Japanese country.
In the future, the Japanese people are desperately trying their best to mix the identity of the Song Empire and become Song people.
It's just that when such a trend is formed, it is very difficult to become a real 'Song person' to obtain an identity, but it is not without a little hope.
Therefore, this led to countless Japanese people who did their best for the Song Empire.
Such a trend can be said to have lasted until the future of modern times, when the Song Empire was already very long and powerful.
It became more difficult for the Japanese to obtain status, but it still could not stop the enthusiasm of these Japanese people.
Therefore, in the future, there is a very peculiar phenomenon, that is, there are Japanese people in various industries in the empire, and they are willing to do anything for people with status in order to be able to obtain status...... Any lowly profession, and also very hard-working......
Because a certain descendant of Zhao Hongyu had a very strange brain, he erected a typical example of a Japanese dung digger to publicize, and also gave honor and the identity of the empire.
Such a typical is a great stimulus for those Japanese people.
This means that in the eyes of the empire, there is no distinction between high and low professions, as long as you work hard, then you will have opportunities.
Therefore, in that generation, countless Japanese people contributed to the cleanliness of the city...... It's just that those Japanese people don't know what they do, this is completely Zhao Hongyu's descendant who cheated them.
Turning his gaze to Mang Gurtai's side, at this time, the retreating Houjin army had already retreated five miles away, and it was finally out of the attack range of the Kyushu Army and the heavy cavalry, and it became relatively safe.
Different from the previous high-spirited, now the army of the blue flag led by Mang Gurtai is already a banner with crooked banners, and the soldiers are gray and defeated, and it is not good to look good.
Although they did not lose much of their forces in previous engagements.
However, in that engagement, the mental blow inflicted on them by the enemy was too great.
"Lord Belle, we've lost about three thousand people by counting."
By this time, the army had stopped retreating, and Manggultai began to prepare to reorganize his army and fight the enemy again.
But before that, he needs to do some statistics to see how much he lost in the battle just now.
Isn't it, after some statistics, his subordinates reported a data to him.
Hearing this, the corners of Mang Gurtai's eyes twitched rapidly.
I feel sorry!
Strictly speaking, the losses of three thousand soldiers and horses were not very large.
But the problem is that such a number is not small for Houjin.
Especially as the owner of the Blue Banner, Mang Gurtai, the loss of 3,000 people really made him feel black.
The loss is too great!
Mang Gurtai, who was sitting on his warhorse, shook his body, and if he hadn't been helped by his subordinates, he would have been able to fall off his horse. (To be continued......)
