Chapter 1072 - Not Easy to Yield

"Report to Your Highness, the situation in Fusang is different from ours, even if their monarch wants to mobilize troops, then they have to discuss with the daimyo in various places, the monarch does not have a lot of troops in his hands, so it is not easy to judge at present, after all, there are less than 20,000 people near their capital."

For Ding Tu's statement, Li Xiang still nodded and admitted, after all, he also knew something about Fusang in this era, the emperor's power was only nominal, and he could not mobilize the troops in various places, it could only be said that it was a coordinated place, and there were some more powerful daimyo in various places, and their rights even exceeded that of the emperor.

Take the locals of Fukuoka as an example, when they heard that they had been occupied by the Tang army for a long time, these people did not have any worries in their hearts, they just felt a little sorry, and they did not think about driving the Tang army out, as if it was a matter of the country next to them, only when the Tang army killed them, they knew that this matter was also related to them.

"I've been researching Fuso recently, and this country is not the same as Goguryeo, because it's scattered everywhere, and all of them are islands, plus it's populous, if we are in a hurry to occupy it, in the end this mess will be difficult to clean up, so we have to move steadily and steadily, little by little."

General Qin Qiong was not idle during this time, he read a lot of information about Fusang, and found some old people in Fusang outside and chatted with them about Fusang, so he came to this conclusion.

Hearing General Qin Qiong's conclusion, Cheng Yanjin frowned, according to Cheng Yanjin's thoughts, what do we need to worry about about our current strength, just kill the past in one go, it is nothing more than a small country, but Li Xiang very much agrees with General Qin Qiong's opinion.

For Li Xiang, we must fight steadily at this stage, especially on the isolated islands, and in the future, Li Xiang's war will be extended to the whole world, and if we have accumulated a lot of experience this time, it will also be very useful for our future expansion.

"I also agree with General Qin's statement, after occupying Nagasaki and Fukuoka, I found that many of the people here are not easy to manage, and most of the people can obey us, but there are still some people who are fighting guerrillas nearby, which has brought us a lot of casualties, especially after leaving the sea for dozens of kilometers, which has entered their mountainous areas, and we have no way to clear them at all."

This is Ding Tu's biggest headache during this period of time, take clothing as an example, the current opposition is at most four or five hundred, but it is these four or five hundred people who attack us day and night, and they are familiar with some local conditions, we can't prevent it, and the casualties each time are not large, but if you add them all up, then this is not a small number, from the occupation of Fukuoka to the present, more than 70 people have died in such attacks.

Take last night as an example, we have already started to rest, but these people slowly came in from outside the city, and they started to burn the house without asking, and it didn't matter if the house belonged to the Tang army or the local people, anyway, a dozen or so people carried the fire source all the way and set it on fire.

According to the ideas of these people, since Datang wants to occupy Fukuoka, then we will burn the entire Fukuoka and leave Datang with a broken city, and then see if Datang is still useful.

While we were busy fighting the fire, another group of people came to the seashore and prepared to burn our boat, but fortunately there were more soldiers on duty on the beach, so they isolated these people from the outside and killed more than a dozen of them, but even so, our losses were relatively large, two soldiers were killed and three were injured in the fire, and more than a dozen people from the Fuso army died and they took advantage of it.

The most important thing is to give the local people a false impression that Fusang's resistance is still continuing, so many people kneel for us during the day, and maybe contact these people at night, so we can't advance too fast, if the places we occupy are like this, then we don't know how many casualties there are every day.

After hearing the news, Li Xiang also felt a little embarrassed, of course he knew that the Fusang nation, if he believed them, it would be easy for them to succumb, which was simply impossible.

The people of Fuso have never been able to give in easily, especially in the face of us.

"I still say the same thing, troubled times need to be re-enacted, now find out for me those who died yesterday, there will definitely be their families in the city and nearby villages, and they will all be killed to avenge our soldiers."

In other places, Li Xiang may still be worried about doing things, but if it is in Fusang, Li Xiang will do things as seriously as he wants, and it is impossible to leave a little affection for these people, not to mention that there is no affection between us.

"My subordinates will do it immediately."

When Wu King Li Ke was here before, he didn't approve some things, after all, he was the nominal commander, and you could come as you wanted on the battlefield, which was already defeating Fukuoka, if you still had to fight him, it would be a bit too much, and it was also a bit disrespectful to the imperial court, so many iron-blooded policies could not be implemented.

Now that Li Xiang has become the commander, he naturally doesn't worry about this matter, so when Li Xiang's words are finished, Ding Tu also knows what to do next, if you dare to attack us, then we dare to find out your family, although the people who are found are some dead family members, but drag them to the mountains and forests to cut them down, the news will naturally spread, and the people who do evil inside will also worry about their families.

Of course, this can only threaten some people with families and jobs, if it is a single, then this method will not work for him at all, but it can also have a certain impact on their group, some people are worried about their families, then they will definitely not dare to continue to stay in the mountain, then those singles will never let these people down the mountain, and the infighting between the two sides may begin here.

Li Xiang is a psychological master, not only do you need to be strong on the battlefield, the most important thing is to be able to use your brains, if you don't know how to use your brains, you will be led by others to fight a lifetime of war, and now we have to change from passive to active, so that they have internal contradictions.
