Chapter 664: Zhoushan Island's Preparations
The fiasco of this battle, it can be said that Sakai Jiro at least bears more than eighty percent of the responsibility, if it were not for his arbitrary assertion and rash abandonment of Zuohai County, it would not have been possible to be chased and fought by the Dongzhou soldiers.
In order to meet him, countless brothers went one after another to set up a defensive line on the coast so that they could finally sail away together.
But in order to save his own life, he ordered the ship to sail and abandoned the thousands of brothers on the shore, and finally nearly 30,000 brothers, including him, fled back to about 1,000.
The strength of 50,000 people, more than half of them were buried in one go, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a great injury, if it weren't for Sakai Jiro, they would not have been able to watch Su Qi'an on the other side of the sea, mobilize troops and horses with such fanfare, and plan to wipe out Zhoushan Island in one go.
The crime committed by Jiro Sakai is not exaggerated even if it is cut by a thousand cuts, and he still has the face to come back, it is he who has buried the foundation of the pirate Wako for many years in one fell swoop.
It is precisely because he ordered to shoot his brother that when he returned to the island, he had long since lost the prestige he had before, and he had completely fallen to the bottom.
Everyone present looked at him with a strong hatred in their eyes, if it wasn't for Yamashita Yong's words, I'm afraid he would have to be beaten to death as soon as he returned to the island.
The eyes of everyone were full of hatred, and Sakai Jiro didn't seem to see it, he got up and hugged his fist bravely at Yamashita.
"The responsibility for the fiasco of this battle lies with me, whether it is the big boss or the brothers, whether they want to cut me with a thousand knives or how to execute me, I admit it."
"But I can't die now, I want to see the three masters wake up with my own eyes, my life was saved by the three masters, I owe him, even if he dies, he has to be executed by the three masters, even if he is returned."
"Big boss, don't listen to Sakai Jiro's nonsense, he wants to delay time, you must not fall for him."
"That's right, my subordinates suggested that Sakai Jiro be executed in public immediately, he killed so many brothers, and he had to use Ling Chi to scrape off his flesh with a knife to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of his brothers."
"Hmph, just rely on you waste, and you can also do it with Ben? How many feats and how much blood have been shed for the group over the years, and you are only worthy of falling into the well behind your back, a bunch of dogs!"
"Jiro Sakai, you are so bold, you still think that you are in charge, in terms of identity, you are not qualified, I can kill you right now to set the record straight."
"Okay, come on, let Ben see if you have the guts."
In the cave house on the island, the two sides quarreled all of a sudden, and no one let anyone,-for-tat, and even even, directly pulled out the knife.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he sat at the foot of the mountain in the first place and shouted.
"Yaga, bastard! Stop y'all of Ben! Do you still have a master in your eyes?"
Yamashita bravely reprimanded, so that the emotions on the top stagnated for a moment, and then dissipated, and both sides snorted coldly and stepped aside.
Seeing that the emotions of both sides subsided, Yamashita Yong said coldly, "Let you come, not to listen to your quarrel."
"Since you are not convinced, then let Ben be the master, this war was defeated, Sakai Jiro took the main responsibility, deprived of the identity of the leader, demoted to a pawn in front of the battle, and beat a hundred military sticks."
"Now that the war is imminent, the island needs talents, your execution will be postponed for the time being, and everything will be decided when the war is over, if it is found that you have delayed the military situation and do not obey the order during the war, everyone, do not need to play, and kill on the spot."
Yamashita Isamu announced the verdict, Sakai Jiro had no opinion, clenched his fists, and stepped aside.
On the other side, represented by Inoshita's letter, although he was not convinced, when he heard the second half of the sentence, the words he wanted to refute were swallowed, and he stepped aside and said no more.
The verdict is basically an explanation for both sides, at least it will not cause coaxing and chaos.
Sakai Jiro really deserves to die, and Yamashita Yuya wants to put him to death, but now that the war is imminent, if they really want to kill Sakai Jiro, they really have one less talent on their side.
Anyway, in this war, Sakai Jiro's prestige on the island has completely dropped to the bottom, and he can no longer compete with him on the island.
Leave him alone and let him play a role in the war, which can show his tolerance
is generous, and can give an explanation to those who are not convinced.
Of course, this can be done, and the most grateful person has to be Liu San, fortunately, Liu San's life has been saved, and after a period of cultivation, he will naturally wake up.
The largest mountain on the island was solved by him, and then Yamashita was finally able to fully implement his plan.
Don't look at the loss of more than half of the people on Zhoushan Island this time, and the vitality is greatly damaged, but don't forget, the pirate group has not fallen for so many years, and who is behind it.
Although Fuso could not send troops on a large scale, the support of tens of thousands of people was more than enough.
Even if Su Qi'an mobilized an army, under Yamashita Yong's estimate, there would be only 60,000 or 70,000 people who could go to sea to fight, and on his side, in addition to the remaining 20,000 horses on the island, he would send a naval division army to support Fusang, and even if the strength of the two sides was different, it would be very different.
Fuso's support is only one aspect, and more importantly, he has a fairly high-status ally in Dongzhou.
This time, Su Qi'an went to sea to fight, wanting to exterminate them, hum, I don't know who wins and who loses.
Yamashita Yong came back to his senses, looked at both sides indifferently, and then gave an order unhurriedly.
"Sakai Jiro obeys the order, Ben Boss orders you to be the head of the Sailor Unit, and at the same time serve as the Sailor Commando."
"Subordinates obey!" Jiro Sakai holds his fists.
"The big boss, this!" Inoshita's face changed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was reprimanded by Yamashita Yong.
"What you, you! Shut up!"
Inushita Shin was helpless, he didn't understand why Jiro Sakai, who was obviously demoted, was arranged to such an important position by Yamashita Yong.
The sailors on the island, in addition to their strong combat power, are also the lifeblood of foreign contacts, if Sakai Jiro takes advantage of the chaos to escape when the war is not good, who can stop him? It's all a beauty difference.
Yamashita ignored Inoshita's puzzlement and continued, "Inoshita obeys the order and is responsible for all the defenses on the island, and at the same time, collects 3,000 elites and uses them for their own use."
"Subordinates obey orders." Inoshita's face was gloomy and he replied helplessly.
After giving the order, Sakai Jiro didn't stay long, turned around and left, Inoui Nobumu sent Sakai Jiro away, turned around sharply, and just wanted to ask Yamashita Yong, but Yamashita Yuri was one step faster than him, and said coldly.
"I know what you want to ask, but you're also one of the high-ranking people on the island, why can't you use your pig brain."
"The person in charge of the Sailor Force does have a high position and great power, but don't forget, this time we are the defender, and Su Qi'an on the opposite side came to attack Zhoushan Island, could it be that he couldn't swim over?"
"This battle is a naval battle, and now you still think it's a beautiful difference?"
Inoshita was stunned, and instantly seemed to think of something, and hugged his fists again and again, "It's the subordinates who are stupid, and the subordinates are pig brains, and they are carried away by anger, and I hope the big boss will understand."
"Big boss, since this matter is so dangerous, with Sakai Jiro's brain, it is impossible not to notice it, why doesn't he have any opinions?" With a puzzled look on his face, Nobu Insuba asked again.
Yamashita put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Nobu Inoshita, and pouted.
"You think Jiro Sakai is like you, so afraid of death? In the fiasco of the battle between the two prefectures, we suffered heavy losses, and as a party, Sakai Jiro not only does not want to die, but also wants to be ashamed."
"He climbed up from the bottom step by step, and he was able to have a place on the island, relying on the support of his brothers, so this battle, his reputation was completely ruined, what do you think he wants to do the most?"
"Revenge, of course." Nobu Insuba said.
"That's right, what he wants to do most is revenge, it is a shame, now that the war is imminent, Su Qi'an must be the main sailor, and Ben Dang handed over the water division troops to him to command, and at the same time served as a commando, even if Ben Dangjia wanted him to die, he had to be grateful to Ben Dang."
"Besides, if he wants to run, not to mention whether the brothers around him agree or not, even if he agrees, if I am really unprepared, the sailor troops supported by Fusang will fight together, and when the time comes, as long as Ben is in charge and they will only speak."
"Jiro Sakai will either return with the Toshu Marine
In the end, he will either be wiped out by the Fuso Sailor with one shot, in short, in this battle, Sakai Jiro will have to die no matter what."
"It's worthy of being a big boss, it's a subordinate who is stupid, and his subordinates understand."
"Hmph, it's good to know, by the way, this time I will transfer three thousand elites and give you a beautiful difference, as long as you do this well, Sakai Jiro's position is yours."
Inoshita was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, bent over, leaned over with his ears, and listened to Yamashita Yong's instructions.
His eyes flashed, obviously with an excited look, and after listening, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said sincerely, "Thank you for the cultivation of the big boss, and my subordinates will be the big boss in the future."
"Go, go." Yamashita waved his hand, and after a while, Nobu Inoshita turned and left.
Seeing the departure of the well letter, Yamashita Yong showed a sighing look, sometimes, this cool person is better to use than the Fuso people, and it is also easy to use.
This well letter is not a Fusang person, but a mixed blood of Fusang and Liangren, half of Fusang, especially good at observing words and feelings, and is very proficient in Da Liangyu, and very loyal to him, if you really want to put him in the Liangren pile, I really can't see that he is a Fuso person.
"It's time to play to his strengths this time." Yamashita Yong said secretly.
First there was Liu San, and then there was Inoshita, who took advantage of the war to get Sakai Jiro, and after this battle, the pirate group was completely controlled by him.
At that time, the group will really be covered by him, and he has been waiting for this day for too long.
It just so happened that the overseer of Da Liang arrived, not only could he help him eradicate Jiro Sakai, but also use this person to return the favor of his ally, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
This naval battle is also a battle that determines the life and death of their group, or that sentence, it is not known who will kill the deer.
"Su Qi'an, Ben is waiting for you on Zhoushan Island to see if you are as mysterious and terrifying as His Royal Highness the Prince said."
