Chapter 1059: Positive Ichiro Watanabe
It is normal for them to be afraid, after all, this is the work of the attack, and the two old generals should stay in the rear, in case something happens, it will not be their own people who will be lost, and the entire Datang may be embarrassed.
Therefore, when attacking, a young general is generally chosen, even if there is any mistake on the battlefield, it can be justified, after all, Li Jingren does not have much experience on the battlefield, as long as he is young, he can say that it is reasonable.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
King Wu looked at the two old generals and then looked at Ding Tu next to him, even if people want to ask for war, you have to give people a chance to speak, if you don't even give a chance to speak, you can't explain to Li Daozong after returning to the capital, that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"There are only two or three thousand people left in the local defense, and the rest can be taken away, and the other is Watanabe Ichiro's people, he still has more than 4,000 people under him who can fight, so it is better to take them away as well, these people are familiar with the local situation, and they still have internal fighting with the people of Fukuoka."
Originally, I thought that this guy was going to go to the battlefield by himself, but I didn't expect him to provide a new force.
There is indeed no enemy around Nagasaki, even if there is, two or three thousand Tang elites can deal with it, and now many people have changed to new flintlock pistols, if the people of Fuso dare to rush forward, then don't blame us for being polite, twenty or thirty thousand people can also deal with it.
As for the enemy from the sea, it is enough to leave ten large ships, no matter how many enemies come from the sea, our artillery can crush them, and we can also pursue them from where they came, don't try to take advantage of us, we can also know where their nest is, and piggyback on their nest to clean it.
"You mean to make them all into servant armies, just like the armies of other places?"
General Qin Qiong had heard that Li Xiang had brought in some local troops from all over the country, but their status was lower than that of the Tang army, and the dirtiest and most tiring work on the battlefield was given to them.
"What the Shogun said is that the people of Fukuoka and Nagasaki have always been infighting, because the fishing places used to cross each other, so the two sides often kill each other at sea, and the emperor of Fuso has a relatively weak management ability, so there is often friction between the magistrates of the two places, and it is said that the people in the border areas of the two places have enemies with each other, and if we can take advantage of it, there are some things that we don't need to come forward."
Li Jingren has been specifically learning about this matter in the past two days, and when Watanabe Ichiro first started to say it, Li Jingren also suspected that this matter was a trap, and if they cooperated with the outside on the battlefield, it would be a huge blow to our army, but after Li Jingren's investigation, it was found that their internal hatred was quite serious, and even exceeded the hatred against us.
"Then this is a better thing, you go and find out again right away, be sure to be foolproof, if it is really the same as you said, then let Watanabe Ichiro's army go with the army, this king promised them that if they really take Fukuoka, no matter how much they loot, they can leave Ichisei behind."
There is no problem with what King Wu said, but these people present still have different faces, and the prince of a country always feels a little lower in status when he says this, but he has been in contact with Li Xiang for more time, and everyone is paying more and more attention to practical interests, so it doesn't matter if some words on his lips are there.
After Li Jingren came out of the tent, he immediately found Watanabe Ichiro, Watanabe Ichiro had actually been preparing for this matter for a long time, and he also knew that the Tang army would not stay in this small place all the time, and it would soon be a war around it, and his people would come in handy.
Although this guy is a Fusang person, he also understands a truth, that is, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and even their own younger brothers have been sent to Chang'an, you can only follow Datang to the end now, not to mention that compared with Fusang and Datang, it is like the comparison between a tiger and a mouse, who doesn't choose to stand on the side of the mouse?
What's more, he has also seen the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, if nothing goes wrong, Fukuoka will not be able to keep it at all, in this case, you still have to think about Fusang, no one with a sick brain can do this kind of thing.
"Please rest assured, the five thousand men under my command have been prepared, and they can be used as the vanguard at any time."
Originally, it was said that there were 4,000 people, but this guy temporarily recruited another 1,000 people, and Fusang is not a good place to see the land, but the number of people is quite large.
Now all the people have been deprived of their property, and if they are of no use to the Tang Dynasty, then they will have to be loaded and transported away, it is said that they were transported to the north of Goguryeo, and the temperature in winter is frighteningly low, and they work day and night in such a place, and it is estimated that they will not live to be forty before they are pulled down.
So when they heard that they could go out to fight with the Tang army, these people enthusiastically signed up, at least they stayed in the land of Fusang, and they could still stay part of the looted things, so that their family could survive, and it was far better to fight here than to go to the north to farm.
"Then you go back to rectify your army, you will start to set off in the next few days, if you need any supplements in your army, I can temporarily issue you a batch, but most of them have to rely on the capture on the battlefield, you have to make this clear to your soldiers, in addition, these soldiers must have a guarantor, without a guarantor, they will not be able to go to the battlefield, it is best to have a family."
Although these people are very useful on the battlefield, the preparations must also be done well, if these people are temporarily against the water on the battlefield, the safety of the two generals and a prince will be in trouble, so these preparations must be done when leaving, if there is someone who turns against the water, then you have to consider the family.
"Please rest assured that the general has been properly prepared, and all the materials have been sent to the general, and the general can investigate them one by one."
Watanabe, this guy may not be a good magistrate, but if you want to be a dog for a Datang official, he can definitely be at the top, just look at his flattering face.
