Chapter 582: Don't Be Afraid
Zhao Hongyu was still wandering around the temporary camp at this time, and he didn't know that there were already some small groups outside the road, and they began to play their ideas.
However, with Zhao Hongyu's mentality, even if he knows the truth, he probably won't care about anything.
After all, for him, is it so easy to take advantage of his own advantages?
The Portuguese and French now seem to have taken advantage, but they are responsible for upsetting the continent.
In other words, their current role is just a-stirring stick pushed to the foreground by the Song Empire in the Americas.
Their role is only to make Europe chaotic and not let the European countries stop.
At least, from the point of view of now, they are doing well.
It's just that Zhao Hongyu won't know what he is doing, because he came to this time and space. And through the space-time trader, the original historical process was changed, and then the history of this space-time began to be distorted rapidly.
At this time, history has completely departed from the original trajectory.
It's like Zhao Hongyu heard that on the Japanese side, the original shogun Tokugawa family has disappeared and replaced it with the Ishida family.
Of course, historical distortion does not mean that the characters of the original history are erased, after all, the remnants of Tokugawa still exist. It can be seen that history still leaves a little possibility of recovering the trajectory, but whether it can be recovered or not, no one knows.
Now Zhao Hongyu didn't think so far, he thinks that even if history changes, it won't change much, but there are just some deviations, and the impact on himself is not very much.
He couldn't have imagined that the butterfly's wings were vibrating so violently that even the legendary ninja had already appeared.
And it looks amazing.
If Zhao Hongyu was told such a thing, it was estimated that the expression on his face would be very exciting.
"Your Highness, the camp is now reinforced. At the same time, eight watchtowers were built. The 800 Praetorian Guards have all been put in place, and the 300 Eight Banners have also been prepared to be in place, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar are the driving force, and I will also arrange things for them to do, now what we have to do is to wait for the arrival of the Japanese people. ”
At this time, everything was ready in the makeshift camp, and all kinds of defenses had been built.
When Wang Shan left, another genetic person who took over Wang Shan's position was making a detailed report to Zhao Hongyu at this time.
After listening to the report, Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Send some people around." With a grasp of the surrounding situation, I hope that it won't be long before the army of the Japanese will arrive, and then we will let them see how powerful we are. ”
The gene man nodded, and then took the order.
The former Ming pirates who followed Zhao Hongyu to the Wa Kingdom are now receiving equipment and weapons from the material officials under the leadership of Liu Dascar.
Wang Fuzi accompanied Zhao Hongyu and played the role of a staff officer.
"Your Highness, the average number of wars is only a thousand people, and I heard that there were often hundreds of people fighting when two daimyo fought during the Warring States Period. So I judge, little old man. The first to come to fight us this time is probably the army from Osaka Castle. ”
Wang Fuzi thought about it for a while and told Zhao Hongyu his judgment.
Yes, the commercial town of Osaka was shelled. Then it must be the lord of Osaka Castle, Ishida Aido, who wants to send troops. If he doesn't react, it means that his lord's work is not up to par.
When the time comes, the shogunate will pursue it, but it is not something he can afford.
And there is still a distance from the environment and geography. Only the troops of Osaka Castle were able to surprise in the shortest possible time, because they were the closest to Osaka Merchant Town.
As for the shogun's direct command of the troops in Edo and Gyeonggi and on the other side of the three rivers, it would take at least three days to assemble. It will take two days of marching to get over.
As for the Tajima in the west, Banma, Bizen, Awa, and Tosa, they didn't have the prince in their eyes at all, because these daimyo were notoriously weak.
I have to say that the reason why these daimyo are so weak is because of the Ishida family.
Originally, after the Tokugawa family established the shogunate system, it would also weaken the domains and military power of other daimyos.
However, it still maintains a certain amount of force.
However, the Ishida clan was more excessive than the Tokugawa family, and at the same time, the power of the daimyo was weakened to a greater extent.
Therefore, except for the strong military strength of the shoguns on the side of the Wa Kingdom, the other daimyo are not very powerful.
Wang Fuzi often comes to the side of the Wa Kingdom, so he is quite clear about this matter of the Wa Kingdom.
As a member of the Shogun's family and the Imperial Family, Osaka Castle's military strength was relatively strong.
After all, the shogunate's side also depends on relatives.
It was precisely with this problem in mind that Wang Fuzi proposed that the first thing they had to face was the army of Osaka Castle, not the army of the daimyo from the west.
"How strong is Osaka Castle's military?"
Zhao Hongyu still believes in Wang Fuzi's words.
After all, people have been in the Wa Kingdom for a longer time than themselves, and they know more things than they do.
Although I know a little about the general trend of history, I am not very clear about the details.
In this regard, he is not as good as the king of others.
"The standing army of Osaka Castle is 3,000 men, including 2,000 ashigaru, 500 samurai, and 500 cavalry."
After thinking about it, Master Wang replied.
"Three thousand, we can handle this kind of military strength." After listening to Wang Fuzi's answer, Zhao Hongyu calculated in his heart, and felt that he had a great chance of winning against three thousand people, so he was relieved a lot.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu's relaxed face, Master Wang had to remind: "Your Highness, we are fighting in a foreign country, and there is no way to replenish soldiers and materials, which is our disadvantage. On the other hand, this is the advantage of the Japanese people, and they can also recruit troops to solve the problem in the surrounding area after losing a large number of soldiers, which we have absolutely no way to compare. ”
Mr. Wang's reminder is very pertinent and reasonable.
But the problem is that Master Wang doesn't know what Zhao Hongyu relies on. If he had known it. It is estimated that he will be the same as Zhao Hongyu, and he will not be so worried and worried.
But Zhao Hongyu's reliance can't be said to him.
However, Zhao Hongyu still showed an expression of humble acceptance, and nodded at Master Wang.
"Master is right, we do have a great disadvantage over the Japanese in this respect. So we have to be careful when dealing with them, but you also have to know that we don't give them for free. ”
For his own army, Zhao Hongyu has this very strong self-confidence.
This self-confidence comes not only from weapons, but also from the experience of war in the past two years.
Yes. These genetic soldiers under Zhao Hongyu's command are not the whites they were at the beginning.
During these two years of development, they fought against the Iroquois, and also against the British in the Americas.
These are all real knives and guns, and there is no slightest fluke.
Therefore, these genetic people can be regarded as veterans who have experienced the test of war.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is not worried that they will lose to the Japanese people.
What's more, Zhao Hongyu's combat methods are beyond the combat methods of this era.
No one has ever seen such a way of fighting. As long as you fight against the army of the Song Empire in the Americas, you are very unaccustomed to it.
Therefore, it is common to be prepared to fight.
Nowhere was this more evident than in the deep Roman Empire on the European continent.
Want. The Japanese people in the east will not be much better, and they will not be accustomed to their combat style when they fight with the army of the Song Empire in the Americas.
Moreover, the army of the Song Empire used flintlock pistols.
Although it will also be equipped with cold weapons. Prepare for close combat.
However, in most cases, hand-to-hand combat is very difficult.
Flintlock pistol plus artillery. There's also the Bottle Bomb, which is enough to beat a lot of opponents.
No matter how brave the Japanese people are, if they want to defeat the army of the Song Empire in the Americas, they will have to pay a price of not a little bit.
The question is, is the shogunate willing to bear such losses?
That's a lot of hard to say.
Zhao Hongyu was very confident, but after all, Wang Fuzi had never seen the power of the Song Empire's army.
Therefore, no matter what Zhao Hongyu said, Wang Fuzi was still a little worried about this.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful the army of the Song Empire is, how powerful can it be.
Anyway, he had never seen the scene of 'queuing up to shoot', so he was a little less confident about the upcoming battle, which was also a normal thing.
Zhao Hongyu didn't mean to blame at all.
In his opinion, as long as Wang Fuzi saw it once, they would never have such worries again.
And the army on the side of Osaka Castle is only 3,000 people at best, which is not a lot of people.
There are 800 Praetorian Guards on his side, and it is estimated that it will take ten minutes to shoot, and the army of Osaka Castle will collapse.
One shot is not enough for one person, but ten shots for one person is always okay.
What's more, the queue for shooting, that's quite dense.
And in ten minutes, as long as the Japanese people charge, then I don't know how many people they will lose.
Besides, haven't the Japanese always admired charge tactics very much?
In this way, it gives the best chance to be shot in line.
Hey!
Come on, whoever comes, they're going to be out of luck.
Zhao Hongyu thought to himself.
"Your Highness, there are guys outside who claim to be envoys asking to see you!"
Emissary?
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Fuzi glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
They don't know where the guy who claims to be the messenger at this time comes from. (To be continued......)
