Chapter 762: Wa Guofan (5)
Looking at the fireworks that bloomed one after another in the Japanese Formation, Zhu Cizhi felt his scalp tingle for a while, and his face became more dignified than ever.
Zhu Cijiong's temperament is still a little different from Zhu Cixiong and Zhu Cijiong.
Zhu Cihong is calm, wise and calm, and has a calm atmosphere whenever there is a major event.
Zhu Cijiong has a fierce personality and wit, which can be described as both wise and brave.
In contrast, Zhu Cizhi was much inferior to his two imperial brothers, and at this time, he was a little panicked when he saw the shells fired by several artillery groups of the Ming army exploding in the Japanese array.
In the final analysis, Zhu Cizhi is not a courageous person.
But Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, Yao Qisheng, Li Yucheng, Zheng En, Yu Chenglong, and several of them felt their blood boiling, and their blood was burning.
"Roar, roar, roar." Zheng Sangongzi even laughed out loud with a broken gong sound.
"It's miserable, it's miserable, it's miserable, it's terrible."
"In the face of such intensity and density of artillery coverage, no army in the world can withstand it." After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Sun Kewang again.
Not only Li Dingguo, but also Sun Kewang, Yu Chenglong and several others were also secretly happy.
Thanks to their early surrender, if they surrendered late, they might be blown to ashes by the artillery group of the Ming army just like the Japanese on the other side, but now, they are part of the Ming army.
Li Yucheng's heart swelled with indescribable pride.
Daming, this is the Ming Dynasty, this is the Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty.
The ridiculous Wa Guo dared to challenge the dignity of the Ming Dynasty with all his might, and now he has suffered a lot, right?
However, for the Wa Kingdom, this catastrophe has just begun, and the real punishment has not yet come.
Just when Zhu Cizhi and other officers were thinking differently, Xu Yingwei, a lieutenant general and division commander of the 1st Division of the Army, had already walked over, first glared at Zhu Cizhi and the others, and then reprimanded him loudly.
"What are you guys doing? Shoot! ”
"The saint sent you to the 1st Division, not to let you come to the play."
"Raise your rifles and rain bullets on the heads of the pirates."
"Listen well, the Japanese are our mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and the mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and I will kill all the Japanese on the other side! Kill them all! ”
Li Dingguo and other officers woke up like a dream and raised their guns to shoot.
But after Zhu Cizhi raised the rifle, he didn't pull the trigger for a long time, he was afraid.
Thinking that as long as he gently pulled the trigger, there would be a person on the other side who would be shot by him, Zhu Cizhi was instinctively afraid, he really didn't dare to kill, at least not at this time.
Seeing that several other officers and students were already playing in table tennis, only Zhu Cizhi did not shoot for a long time, Xu Yingwei decisively walked behind Zhu Cizhi, first supported Zhu Cizhi's right hand with his right hand, then held Zhu Cizhi's left hand with his left hand, and then reached in and pressed Zhu Cizhi's index finger with one finger, and then pressed it hard.
Then there was a bang, and a bullet whistled out in an instant.
When Zhu Cijiong looked at it urgently, he saw that seventy or eighty steps ahead, a widow fell backwards in response, and before he fell, Zhu Cijiong clearly saw that a blood flower had bloomed in front of the door.
"Killed, I killed......" Zhu Cizhi's face turned pale in an instant.
"Your Highness, you killed a wolf, a beast, not a human." Xu Yingwei patted Zhu Cizhi on the shoulder, and said, "You don't need to feel guilty about killing a beast, you are doing good deeds and protecting the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhu Cizhi couldn't listen to it at all, and only felt bursts of smoke surging in his stomach.
Then, Zhu Cizhi rolled over and fell to the ground, uh-uh retching
……
By this time, the shogunate's central and rear positions had collapsed.
Because the Ming Navy artillery group, the two mountain artillery groups of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Army, and the two field artillery groups were all targeted by the middle and rear of the shogunate army.
On the contrary, because the 2nd side that was engaged in the attack was only fired upon by the infantry of the 1st Division, although it also suffered heavy casualties, but at least it did not collapse.
Because the second side also carried thousands of wooden fences as shields.
However, the 2nd side did not last long, and not long after the collapse of the shogunate army's main and rear formations, the 2nd side was also defeated by the 1st Division of the Ming Army.
Soon, the loud trumpet of the charge sounded, and the infantry of the 1st Division immediately loaded their rifles with bayonets, and then launched a tidal charge with their rifles with bayonets on them.
Long before the 1st Division launched the charge, the 4th and 6th Brigades of the 2nd Division had already made a detour from both flanks, preparing to cut off the retreat of the Shogunate Army and strive for total annihilation.
"The battle is over." Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "The only suspense now is how many Japanese troops can be annihilated, but even if it ends up in a crushing battle, it is not a big deal." ”
Chongzhen said with a smile: "Zheng Qing, don't you think the Japanese army is fierce now?" ”
"Holy Lord, don't make fun of the minister." Zheng Zhilong said with some embarrassment, "In the past, the ministers were shallow, and they lacked enough understanding of the sharpness of my Daming firearms. ”
"Not really." Chongzhen said with a smile, "It's our Ming firearms that evolve too fast. ”
Since entering the era of steam engines, the accuracy of the Ming army's firearms is rapidly improving, after solving the primer technology to create metal cartridge shells, it is to make up for the two shortcomings of the rate of fire and reliability, and now, the firearms equipped by the Ming army are essentially no different from the firearms of the First World War.
There is a huge difference in weapons, and there is also a huge difference in the guiding ideology of key tactics.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zheng Zhilong lacked knowledge of the performance and tactics of the Ming army's firearms.
As the chief treasurer of the Osaka firm, Xu Sanguan was most concerned about the treatment plan for the Japanese people, and immediately asked: "Holy Lord, what do you say after annihilating the main force of the shogunate army?" ”
"Needless to say, of course, it is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, occupy Kyoto and Edo, and completely destroy the Wa Kingdom."
After a slight pause, he said: "Then send all the strong men of the Japanese country to the mainland to open mines or build railways, and leave no one, and send all of them to the mainland." ”
For the strong men of the Japanese country, not having to castrate is already the greatest mercy.
Xu Sanguan nodded, and asked again: "Then how to deal with the women and children of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”
Chongzhen thought for a moment and then said: "The women and children of the Japanese Kingdom were sold to Jiangnan and Beijing in batches, and sold to those large families as slaves, or to work in factories. ”
The treatment of women and children in the Japanese country was even more merciful.
Although the strong men of the Japanese country do not need to be castrated, they can only spend their lives in mines or railway construction sites, and the right to mate must be deprived.
However, boys under the age of ten grew up in the Ming Dynasty because they were young, and they accepted the Han culture, spoke the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and their identity was also the people of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming court would not forcibly deprive them of the right to mate, as long as their masters were willing to marry the slaves, they could marry wives and have children.
As for the girls and women of childbearing age in the Japanese Kingdom, they enjoy the same rights as the common people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are sold as domestic slaves, they also enjoy basic human rights, such as the master family cannot harm their lives for no reason, nor can they deprive them of their private property for no reason, but if the master wants to marry them as concubines, they cannot refuse.
"Women and children are not left?" Xu Sanguan said with some disappointment, "Then only the old man will be left." ”
"Yes, I don't want any old people from the Japanese country." Chongzhen nodded, "Let them stay on the island to fend for themselves, and wait until the future of the Ming Dynasty's native population is bombed and the arable land is not enough, and it is not too late to immigrate to the Wadi Islands." ”
With such an operation, the population of Daming can usher in a wave of surge in a short period of time.
Then, a few decades later, the inhabitants of the Wadi Islands also changed from Wa to Huaxia.
In the future, the inhabitants of Wadi will write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and the culture will also be the improved Confucian culture, or more precisely, the Confucian Yangming Xinxue.
But for Osaka, this solution is not optimal.
At that moment, Xu Sanguan whispered: "Shengshang, in fact, you can leave a part of the strong men to open mines in the Japanese land, after all, there are quite a lot of iron mines, silver mines and even gold mines in the Japanese land. ”
"No, none of the strong men of the Japanese country are allowed to stay." Chongzhen flatly refused.
"The Osaka Company wants to open a mine, and when the navy conquers the Nanyang Islands in the future, it can sell the native lands of the Nanyang to open mines, or it can also farm."
After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Xu Sanguan, you don't have to worry that the hawker will have no business, in the past twenty years, just selling strong men and women and children is enough for you to be busy, as for twenty years later, the local population of Daming will definitely have exploded, and then there will be a new business of immigrants and widows, with immigrants, and then a large number of slaves will be needed, and then in the future, the Osaka company can specialize in the trade of local and Japanese land, so that the business is not endless?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Sanguan and Zheng Wangcai completely put their hearts at ease: "The saint is wise." ”
This is good, according to this plan of the saint, the Osaka firm will never be short of business.
This time, as long as they do not commit the crime of rebellion, they will be able to guard the land for generations and enjoy the dividends, and they will come to Jiuquan and have an explanation for their ancestors.
As he spoke, the Ming army's pursuit of the shogunate army was in full swing.
Standing on the bridge of the Zhou Yu and looking condescendingly through binoculars, you can see very clearly that the rout of the shogunate army is fleeing all over the mountains, just like wild boars scurrying around.
The Ming army also chased into a chaotic formation, scattered into small teams one by one, more than 100 people, and as few as even only a dozen people.
However, it was not a big problem, because the shogunate army had completely disorganized the structure, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all, and sporadic resistance was there, but it was not enough to pose a real threat to the Ming army.
Chongzhen saw no less than ten small-scale ambushes through the telescope.
Basically, the Ming army could crush the remnants of the shogunate army with just one volley.
