Chapter 1242: This is a good method

Regarding the command of the Japanese army, Jay Chou held it single-handedly.

In this regard, President Kobayashi has no way, he is now just following Jay Chou's side as a nominal colonel.

As for what kind of official position the colonel is, President Kobayashi is not clear.

But he felt that at least now it was much better than before. After all, he is doing things by the side of this Song general, and as long as he has the opportunity, he can still achieve his ambitions.

Especially if this general seems to be a confidant of the crown prince, then there will definitely be more opportunities.

That Governor Kobayashi didn't have the luxury of being valued and promoted by Zhao Hongyu, but if he could be valued by the crown prince's henchmen, it would be the same.

Therefore, President Kobayashi stayed by Jay Chou's side with such peace of mind.

Because President Kobayashi is confident that as long as the opportunity arises, he will definitely be able to grasp it and make a name for himself.

And because of the arrival of these 10,000 Japanese soldiers, the problem of insufficient troops here in Jincheng was greatly alleviated. Now the strength of Jincheng has reached the number of 40,000 people.

When Sun Chuanting left Beijing, he took with him 500 soldiers and horses, and received Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui in Datong, and more than 800 of them.

At the same time, after arriving in the capital, they selected more than 3,000 people from among the displaced people, and gathered enough troops of 5,000 people.

Jay Chou originally had 25,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10,000 Kyushu soldiers. Then it is not surprising that Jincheng has 40,000 troops.

At present, Zhao Hongyu is most worried about Houjin, and the current army is only more than 700,000 people. Again, this is the result of counting all men.

Therefore, his 40,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough to defend against the threat from Houjin.

10,000 wearing explosion-proof suits. The Kyushu soldiers, armed with explosion-proof equipment, began their military training for half a month.

Although they also underwent a short period of accelerated training after being drafted in Kyushu, this was still far from enough.

At least, in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, it is impossible for these people to fight against the elite of the Houjin Eight Banners. Therefore, it is still necessary to train them again.

And the military training subjects for the Kyushu soldiers are very simple, specifically for the content of the Houjin cavalry operations.

The instructors were mercenaries from Portugal. What is taught is the war phalanx of Europe, the so-called Spanish phalanx.

This phalanx is very effective against cavalry attacks. Of course. There will be a lack of action.

However, Zhao Hongyu didn't care about this at all, anyway, he just needed these Kyushu soldiers to be cannon fodder, as long as they could hurt Houjin.

For the rest. Zhao Hongyu didn't value it at all.

Besides. The Japanese are not afraid of death on the battlefield, and they are even more fierce than the Eight Banners.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is confident that the cannon fodder of these Japanese people will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results, which will greatly surprise and make Houjin suffer.

The sophisticated muskets of the Song Empire, Zhao Hongyu did not equip the Kyushu soldiers, and Zhao Hongyu had to use and be wary of these people.

Because of the good food, these Kyushu soldiers trained very hard. Especially the obedience of the Japanese people. It was even more praised by the Portuguese instructor and Jay Chou.

Every day, the rice tube is full, and the potato and beef tube are enough to eat. This made the Kyushu turtle soldiers grateful and worshipped the Song people as bodhisattvas.

You must know that the Japanese people of this era can eat one rice ball a day is a good day. Basically, a commoner eats two meals a day, and each meal is just a wild vegetable rice ball with a bowl of soup with two slices of white radish floating.

Therefore, life is like heaven for them now.

Every day is just a little hard training, but what is this hard work?

If you don't farm at home as a soldier, it's even harder, and you have to be squeezed by the lords.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of these Kyushu soldiers shocked everyone.

And these newly recruited Kyushu soldiers can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of why so many people are willing to come and be recruited by the Song people.

Grandma's, this is simply a blessing.

Not to mention anything else, just for the meat they eat every day, as well as white rice, it is worth it for them to work hard for the Song people.

You can't say that these Japanese people don't have ideals.

In this era, the environment that has been passed here is indeed like this.

There are not a few ronins who work hard for a white rice ball, after all, the Japanese are more strange, aren't they?

In Kyushu, which is now under the rule of the Song Empire, the lives of the people have greatly improved compared to before, and they are no longer as difficult as before.

Every family can eat white rice balls every day, plus a meat dish.

Compared to before, it was really heaven and earth.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Japanese people in Kyushu have no aversion to being ruled by the Song people, and even feel that it is good to be ruled by the Song people.

As a result, there are very few people here in Kyushu who are willing to serve as soldiers, but they can't stop those who keep fleeing from the shogunate-controlled territory.

The area under the control of the shogunate was now full of wars, and the three powerful forces were fighting each other, which destroyed the homes of the Japanese people in Honshu and Shikoku.

They heard that life here in Kyushu is good, and as long as you have the strength and not be lazy, you can basically wrap up a good life.

And the Song people are not so brutal, they will not be like the lords and samurai lords under the rule of the shogunate, who draw their swords and kill people at every turn.

Kyushu has been portrayed by many people as a fairyland.

So, the homeless people are all venturing to Kyushu. Even if the lords of Shikoku and Honshu found out about the problem, and the shogunate issued a kill and escape order, it would not help.

This is indeed a good thing for Kyushu, where the population is constantly being enriched.

And because the life of the people of Kyushu is getting better and better, there are very few Kyushu people who are willing to serve as soldiers.

On such a premise. These people of the original state and Shikoku who fled to Kyushu became good targets for recruitment.

It was also under such circumstances that Zhao Hongyu hoped that Kyushu would mobilize a group of soldiers and horses. Sent to Kyushu here.

In response to this situation, Kyushu, under the impetus of Tokugawa Yoshiyo and a number of imperial officials, began to issue a conscription order, and in a short period of time, a full 10,000 soldiers and horses were recruited.

And ninety percent of these conscripted soldiers were homeless people who had fled from the original state and Shikoku.

For these people, entering the army is considered a way to live. After all, although they have fled to Kyushu, the people of Kyushu seem to be very exclusionary to them.

Time. They couldn't find much work to do.

But if you don't do things, you won't make money. And if you can't make money, you will go hungry, which is a very real problem.

So. The Omens Order issued at this time is tantamount to a choice for them that will allow them to live.

Being a soldier, it's nothing.

If people are going to starve to death, what is the point of being a soldier?

That's it. An army of 10,000 men was there.

When I was in Kyushu. These people don't eat very well. Because they were going to be sent to Jincheng soon, no one was willing to bother with them.

But even so, they ate well.

But compared to here in Jincheng, what I ate in Kyushu at the time was nothing.

Thank you to the Song people, thank you to the crown prince!

Well, this is what the Song political officials who were inserted in asked them to say before eating every day.

Unconsciously. These people were brainwashed, and even they themselves were really grateful to the Song people and the crown prince.

So much so that in the future, when fighting with the Houjin Eight Banners. Those Kyushu soldiers who were not afraid of death would hold their weapons high and shout with a fanatical face 'Serve the crown prince', and rush towards those Eight Banner soldiers, even if they were stabbed several times, their combat effectiveness was undiminished, which frightened the Eight Banner soldiers.

"Who brought you these delicious foods!"

"Crown Prince!"

"Whose food are you eating?"

"Crown Prince!"

"Think about your old lives, and look at the days you have now. I think as long as you're not stupid, you know what's good and what's bad, right! ”

"Thank you, Crown Prince!"

"So what are you going to do!"

"Whoever is against the crown prince, we will kill him!"

On this day, the morning training is over, and it is just the time for lunch.

These Kyushu soldiers lined up in a neat queue and began to wait for the Firehead Army to bring them a delicious lunch.

In this gap, the imperial politicians who were installed in began to brainwash these people and shout slogans again.

Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou came here to inspect at this time, and they happened to hear them shouting slogans.

After listening to the slogans shouted by these guys, Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that's good, it's a good ideological education. Whoever came up with this should be greatly rewarded! ”

Seriously, Zhao Hongyu is quite in favor and satisfied with the way these Kyushu soldiers shout slogans and brainwash before eating.

Because of this approach, these Kyushu soldiers will unconsciously eliminate some barriers in their hearts and serve the empire in the future.

And over time, these Japanese people will also have a sense of loyalty and belonging to themselves from the bones.

You must know that this kind of brainwashing is very powerful even in modern times.

Not to mention that it is used on the turtle of this era, and the effect is even stronger.

Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui also followed Zhao Hongyu and them to the training ground of the Kyushu soldiers on this day.

They had also heard the news of the Japanese soldiers coming to Jincheng.

It's just that they also have a lot of things to do during this time, so they haven't seen these widows.

They happened to be idle today, and they heard that Zhao Hongyu was going to come here to inspect, so a few of them followed.

Zhao Hongyu rode his horse in front of them, and they didn't hear Zhao Hongyu's words.

However, Sun Chuanting looked at the widows who kept shouting slogans loudly, and then he showed a thoughtful look.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting turned his head sideways and whispered to Yang Fengyi: "This method of the Song people training the Japanese is very novel, but I thought about it carefully, this method will be very effective when the time comes." ”

After all, it was someone who could leave a name in another time and space, so Sun Chuanting thought about it for a while and saw one of the benefits of doing so. (To be continued......)
