Chapter 96 Internationally renowned double standard(2/2)
As discussed in the palace, Zhang Hongfan was still the deputy commander, but he had already commanded 400,000 central army! Among them, the elite Mongolian army and the Chima army did not attack the Yuan Dynasty...
As mentioned before, the Mongolian army and the Chima were the first and second types of elite soldiers in the Yuan Dynasty's military system and had never fought under the supreme commander of the Han people.
Zhang Hongfan set a precedent. Zhang Hongfan attached great importance to this and tried his best. Within half a month, he had already sent troops from Goryeo... and he won the first battle and occupied the bridgehead to attack Japan, Tsushima Island.
Tsushima Island is located in the center of the waters of Koryo and Japan, and is an important supply and relay place for attacking Japan. Going forward is Tsushima Sea, which is the Tsushima Strait in later generations. It is across the sea from Yiqi Island, which is close to Kyushu Island.
Originally, after Zhang Hongfan took over Tsubasa, he was still afraid of Iki Island. It was the first line of defense of Japan. If he could take it, he would have a land foundation to march into Jiuzhou Island.
But... based on the rewards of the Japanese traitor and the detectives... on Iki Island... there is no defense!
Japan obviously gave up Iki Island and built high walls along the coast of Jiuzhou...
This made Zhang Hongfan not want to stay for a moment, and the army set up anchor and entered Iki!!
In this way, a military supply line connecting Goryeo, Tsushima Island and Iki Island was also announced to be completed, stabilizing the rear of the Yuan army.
Just as Zhang Hongfan stood on Iki Island, Boyan's 200,000 soldiers set out from Goryeo! They crossed the sea and entered Tsushima Sea. Instead of continuing to move forward to Iki Island, they circled a large circle in the sea outside Japan and quietly sneaked into the east coast of Japan!!
November has entered this time.
Zhao Wei stood at the bow of the boat, holding the Japanese chart obtained from the Japanese rape... Looking at the word Kamakura, which only takes two days to reach...
Even as a Han Chinese, he had to develop ambitions from others and sighed in his heart... Yuanchu's military capabilities were simply invincible!!
It took only two months to attack the Japanese from Kublai Khan to the arrival of the city of Kamakura!!
Such military mobilization and strategic execution put Zhao Wei very much pressure!!
To be honest, the Song Dynasty now has artillery and new ships, but... can it be so stupid that it has ever fought such a Mongolian army?
You should know that the more Zhao Wei learns, the more he understands that war will never be better than anyone's equipment...especially in ancient wars! The spirit, military source and quality, and even the factors of the main general can control success or failure.
In these aspects, the Song Dynasty was far inferior to the Yuan Dynasty.
Or, this opponent deserves respect!
"Your Highness...what are you thinking?" Mr. Dieshan's voice suddenly rang behind him.
Zhao Wei turned around and saw that there was no one around, and said bluntly: "I'm thinking... No matter how sharp the sword is, it is not as good as the will of this great army..."
"We are defeated in the Song Dynasty and are not unfair."
"Yes..." Xie Dieshan sighed, "But sometimes even though he knows that this is the case, he has to do the opposite. This is the spirit of the Han family. After all, the good of the Yuan people is the Yuan people... not the soul of the Han people. No matter how good it is, it cannot last forever, otherwise the spirit of the Central Plains for thousands of years will be dissipated!"
"That's true!" Zhao Wei also agreed, "But we should also reflect on it. It is not enough to have weapons alone. The top priority is still in the hearts of the people!"
"Haha." This made Xie Dieshan happy and glared at Zhao Wei with disgust. "Since the benefits of swords and weapons are not important, then your highness will send a letter to King Lu and ask him to wait for him in the sea outside Japan, what are you waiting for?"
"Don't you still value the sword craftsmen in Japan?"
"Uh." Zhao Wei was embarrassed and the international double standards were immediately launched.
"Well, if you can grab a little, you still have to grab a little. You can't be cheaper than Boyan, right?"
