Chapter 229: Soldiers Arrive in Kyoto

This battle was undoubtedly an exciting victory for the shogunate, and it was also for Mondora, the victory of the Tiger Wolf Marines, with almost no more than 10 casualties......

But for Paplov, who won all the tough battles, the losses were a bit miserable, and after the war, there were only more than 3,000 people left in the entire Russian Foreign Legion, which totaled the strength of two standard infantry regiments......

I think that when Zhao Dutian was first drawn, the Russian Foreign Legion was more than 8,000 people, and they fought in many places for Zhao Dutian, and they won many victories, and under the fierce and strong hand-to-hand combat effectiveness, they suffered a lot more casualties than other troops!

The grenadier formation was originally used in tough battles and charges, so the grenadier infantry regiments of the European powers, under the glamorous appearance of symbolizing the elite of honor, also had a large number of casualties and supplements that would inevitably appear after each battle!

It's just that the Han Empire could not replenish it......

Zhao Dutian didn't really want to completely wipe out this glorious Legion of Honor, in Zhao Dutian's prediction, after the country was completely pacified that day, Paplov's Foreign Legion would serve as the garrison of the Han Empire, and the rest of the army would take on the task of guarding Japan.

Even if the soldiers of the Han Empire forcibly rape Japanese women on the street, the Japanese government has no right to interfere, and can only hand it over to the military of the Han Empire to deal with it themselves......

Moreover, after the stabilization of Japan, it is foreseeable that there will rarely be large-scale wars, and the task of the garrison is at most to suppress some down-and-out samurai and Japanese nobles with bad brains, which can be regarded as a good home for the Paplov Grenadier Corps, which has lost too much in battle and has not replenished.

There are only more than 3,000 people left in the Russian Foreign Legion, once half of it is lost, it will be difficult to exist as a separate legion, and when the time comes, Zhao Dutian must not be allowed to cancel this legion with great achievements and integrate it into other troops......

Therefore, after Pavlov fought this decisive battle, the subsequent combat missions had nothing to do with the Russian Foreign Legion!

The 1st Division of the Japanese Servant Army, the main force of the Shogunate's New Army, and the Tiger and Wolf Marines of Mondora, were divided into three routes, carrying the victory of the Southwest Coalition Army, and swept towards the entire land of Honshu, Japan!

At the same time, the 2nd Division of the Japanese Servant Army, with the financial support of the Tokugawa family, began to be formed, and a new batch of firearms transports of the expeditionary fleet had arrived at the port of Yokohama!

Everything in Japan began to reverse in favor of the Han Empire, of course, because the previous civil war advantage achieved by the Southwest Coalition Army was too great, it would not be able to reverse the recognition of the Japanese lower-class samurai and civilians with the turning point of the civil war for a while!

There is still a fight!

If you just look at the number of people, after the destruction of the main force of the Southwest Alliance, the four strong feudal clans in the southwest still have a local army known as 100,000, and the Kyoto, where the emperor is located, has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and as for how much water is in it, even Mondora and the shogunate do not know......

Anyway, judging from the strength of the army alone, the commoners and samurai class in Japan felt that the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest that supported the emperor were relatively strong, so the Tokugawa family had to push all the way through if they wanted to end the civil war!

Of course, when the commoners and low-ranking samurai in Japan, who had little knowledge, were still immersed in the dream that His Majesty the Great Emperor was about to eradicate the Tokugawa shogunate and take over the power of the whole country, both the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest and the powerful daimyo who had defected to the 'Emperor's faction' on Honshu Island understood a truth.

Resisting foreign aggression is about to usher in the darkest and most difficult moment!

Therefore, when the army of the Han Empire and the main force of the shogunate were still cleaning up the results of the battle and replenishing the logistics materials, the army of the emperor's faction began to shrink its forces in an all-round way!

A large number of soldiers and samurai who were supposed to be on the front line to assist the main forces of the Southwest Coalition Army marched to the rear in full strides under the orders of the various family governors......

The military is in a weak position, so it is natural to shrink the strength and condense into a group, just like the shogunate's original practice, the main force of the crusading army collapsed, except for Kyoto and some abandoned sons left to obstruct it a little, manpower and material resources were used in the rear to form a defensive line!

It's a pity that the efficiency of the army of the Han Empire and the feudal army of Japan cannot be compared!

In addition, in this battle, in addition to the large losses of Pavlov and the shogunate, Mondora's troops had almost no consumption, and even the ammunition consumption was so small that it was negligible!

So, Mondora took the Tiger Wolf Marines, and cooperated with the Japanese First Division, which had not been sent to the battlefield before, to advance all the way, and to catch the emperor's faction, who were busy shrinking their forces, to regain the lost ground with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, without firing a single shot!

Without the support of the emperor's faction, Mondola and his party were basically equivalent to accepting surrender all the way under the righteousness of the Tokugawa shogunate......

By the time Mondora's Tiger Wolf Marines and the Japanese First Division approached Kyoto Castle, the entire Kyoto Castle from the Emperor to the bottom of the Southwest Coalition Army was stunned by the speed of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Han Empire's allied forces!

Well, although the Japanese First Division is controlled by the Han Chinese, it is still a standing army of the shogunate in the name of the outside world, so this besieging force appears in the form of a coalition army!

Of course, this kind of nominally subordinate to the Tokugawa shogunate to form a servant army will also continue after the war, this name can allow the Han Empire, an outsider, to better recruit Japanese soldiers, although people with a little status know that this is just a cover-up, but for those ignorant rural nofus, the shogunate righteousness is still believed by many people......

As for entering the army, a little bit of understanding the disadvantage of the object of allegiance, it is not a big problem, as long as the Japanese civilians are attracted in, and then used generous treatment to envelop them, not to mention, the shogunate and the Han Empire are both one family, and this disadvantage will be suppressed to the minimum!

This approach is inseparable from Zhao Dutian's previous life, when Japan supported the Manchurian Empire in the three eastern provinces, and then formed a puppet army in the name of the Manchurian Empire.

However, compared to the puppet Manchurian Empire, which had no power at all, the Tokugawa shogunate still had some reservations, after all, their value was far greater than that Pu Yi!

Pu Yi is the last emperor of a single without any foundation, and he is good for nothing except having a good father, but the Tokugawa family has a deep foundation in Japan!

Therefore, even if the Tokugawa shogunate handed over the right to form a standing army of Japan, it could still form a separate system to form a family private army!

In fact, the two sides have reached an agreement on the distribution of military power after the war, and after the civil war is settled, the Japanese standing army will be divided into the emperor in name and officially become the standing army of Japan, which will be supported by Japanese national taxes, and the soldiers of the Han Empire will do it......
