Chapter 581
"It's so strange that the Japanese are fighting. Why do the main generals have to sit on the stool? There are also police surrounding them with cloth curtains? Are they afraid of being exposed to the wind?" Liu Qi asked in confusion with his horse whip.
"I don't know, maybe it's not tiring to do this? Liu......Oh, no, General Maori, should we wait until the siege battle begins before attacking?" Yang Min didn't understand the tactics of war, but he also knew that it would be easier to attack after the battle began.
Liu Qi waved his hand indifferently and said, "No need, their formation is scattered enough. Moreover, I am carrying an ancient soldier. Brother Monkey said that there is no need to feel sorry for the casualties, just kill them directly. I will command the troops and horses, and you will help me with the common name later."
"That's fine." Yang Min nodded.
"Kill! After winning, there is no limit on military discipline. You can mess around for three days... Well, this is called random arrest, yes, it means random arrest for three days!"
Random capture is a unique phenomenon in the Warring States Period of Japan. As the name suggests, this behavior pattern is that the army can do whatever it takes to do. Not only can the victorious army be carried out, but the defeated side can also be used, and not only can plunder civilians from the hostile side, but also can plunder their own people.
Because it was very chaotic, it was named Rankhu. Liu Qi was born as a thief and admired this pattern very much, so I specially learned the pronunciation of Japanese.
With Liu Qi shouting in the old language of méng, the morale of the ancient cavalry quickly rose to its peak. It has been a joy in North Korea. I have been so nervous these days. I heard that the general order can be messed up, how could I not work hard?
"Roar!" The horse's hooves roared, and the ancient cavalry rushed up screaming.
The Korean horse raised on Jeju Island does not have the endurance of the Méng Ancient Horse, but after all, it is also a horse, and the short-distance sprint is still very powerful. The Méng Ancient soldiers all grew up on horseback, and they were not used to it. Although the two thousand cavalry were a little scattered, they barely formed a front-line arrow formation and rushed towards the siege coalition not far away.
After a hundred years, the figures of the ancient cavalry once again appeared on the land of Japan, but this time, no Kanyu came to save his life.
"What is that..." Xuéu was frightened.
Although he was a powerful man and had seen horses, he still saw few cavalrymen, let alone so many cavalrymen? Therefore, even if he had seen the figures of the cavalrymen in the forefront, he still asked a very stupid and naive question.
"His Highness xuéhu, that's a cavalry, many cavalry..." The man who was originally sitting on the stool next to him stood up, showing his superior knowledge, while the man's whole body was trembling.
That's right, many cavalrymen, even if they put An Yun... no, they might not have so many horses in Shanyin Shanyang area. Besides, the movements of the cavalry riding on the horse are obviously well-trained. Didn't they see it? Not only were they wearing leather armor, but they even opened their bows and shot arrows immediately!
"God Amaterasu is on top..." A large group of cavalry suddenly came out from behind, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky. The earth was trembling except for trembling in the smoke and dust. What can thrillers?
Let the soldiers turn around to meet the enemy? That is impossible. In order to attack the city, the warriors rushed in front, with only a group of stingers behind. How could they complete such a difficult tactical action?
What's more, when I saw the sudden outbreak of the cavalry, even the warriors showed signs of collapse, let alone these slightest points? It was still the early days of the Warring States Period, and the monkeys in Takeda Mountain had not yet rushed out of the Kafei. The Japanese had no experience in dealing with the cavalry.
The rain of arrows fell, although it was not very dense and the accuracy rate was not high, but this sudden blow still caused the Japanese national football team without armor to suffer heavy casualties. The front-line football team began to defeat the middle troops and fell into a dilemma. A few samurai had the energy to fight desperately, but unfortunately they were too far away to go back to defend.
"Who is the one who came?"
xuédo Yuanyuan wailed unwillingly. If he could, he would want to escape, but he couldn't. It was not because of responsibility, but his main formation was in the middle of the army and he had no way to run.
Moreover, as the main general, he specially put on the armor he passed down from his family. This thing was made of bamboo. Although the defense was not very good, the weight was really not light. Otherwise, why would he keep sitting on the stool? It would be too heavy!
The most depressing thing is that it takes time and effort to remove this thing. The opponent's cavalry rushed too fast. After two rounds of arrow rain, the forward had already cut into the back formation, and then rushed to his side like a knife cutting tofu. It was too late to run away.
Therefore, Yuanyuan left only one last wish, and that he would know who he died at the hands of, so that he could die with peace of mind.
"Every family of Maori is old, Maori Kogoro joins!"
A loud roar came from the cavalry, and the tone was a bit weird. Xué Tomoto was clearly aware of it. It seemed to be the accent from Kyushu. When did the Maori family have such a family old?
It must be fake if the name is so strange! You know, the custom of Japan is that after having a status, it will change its majestic name, and even its surname will be replaced. The name Kogoro is fine, but it is inappropriate to put it on an old man who can lead thousands of cavalrymen.
The most important thing is, how could the Maori family afford so many cavalry? Not to mention cavalry, even a thousand sheep may not be able to afford it with their little strength!
Although he had seen through the truth, the grievances of the xuéhu Yuanyuan could only drift away with the wind. After all, only those with big fists could make rules. Although his coalition forces were large, they were not very useful when fighting. Under the charge of the ancient cavalry, the coalition forces quickly collapsed and he died under the horse hooves of the cavalry.
This is also impossible. The defense of the bamboo armor is indeed not very good, and the sword in the enemy's hand is too sharp.
Outside Nojima Port, fleets gathered.
"Brother Ma, Xiaoqi sent someone to repay him. Maori's side has already resolved. After gathering the defeated troops and settled the situation, you can march towards Ishimi."
After reporting the situation, the monkey said disdainfully: "The Japanese soldiers are really unable to help but fight, and they are not smart enough. Those warriors are actually a bit combat-effective, but they want to get a lot of militia. Isn't this stupid? However, the military system of our Ming Dynasty is similar. Those scholars and officials who claim to be knowledgeable are as good as the Japanese devils. They are really stupid.
"Hmph, they will soon withdraw from the stage of history." Ma Ang snorted disdainfully and sent an order: "Set up and return to the five islands."
"So anxious?" The monkey was stunned. "What should I do if Xiao Qi and the others' supplies?"
"Let them catch randomly. Anyway, they are good at this, now there are many enemies, so they should be able to deal with it for a while. Let's talk about it if they can't wait. Goshima should guard against pirates, maintain the trade route, and then send people to Sado and Echigo. What if they don't hurry up?" Ma Ang replied casually.
"Sadou, Echigo? There is news over there too?"
"Well, there are only some natives on Sado Island. It is enough to send 500 troops over. The miners are a little troublesome. North Korea can collect some of them, but it is not good to be all Koreans. It is also troublesome to transport them. You still have to catch some Japanese people."
Ma Ang nodded and sighed, "It's no wonder that Brother Xie took a fancy to him at first sight. However, the miners, the five hundred people stationed at Sado Island, plus the remaining 1,000 ancient cavalrymen......... Alas, I have to run several times. According to the prior arrangement, the maritime merchants in Tianjin should also come here, and there are many things."
"Tsk, you still feel tired when you move the mountains of gold and silver. You really don't know how lucky you are, haha." Amid the monkey's giggle, the fleet set sail and left Noi Island, and Xie Hong's Japanese strategy was fully launched.
Just when Japan was messed up by Ma Ang, three letters were placed on Xie Hong's desk again. This time the people and content delivered the letter were a bit strange.
"Why are there so many letters? Brother Ma, too. If you have anything to do, you can't finish a letter?" The previous news about the pirate made Lushun nervous for a while, but this time there were more letters, which made his eyes rush.
"The last letter sent by North Korea to the Governor's Office is Brother Ma. In addition to telling me that the Japanese strategy has been successfully launched, the content is also related to the letter from North Korea." Xie Hong had already read the letter, threw it on the desk and said lazily.
"North Korea? What's the trouble with Bangzi?"
"One letter was for purchase, the one who wrote the letter was the King of North Korea; the other letter was for informing, the one who wrote the letter was the Lord of North Korea's governor. Haha, Brother Jiang, is this interesting?" Xie Hong looked comfortable and smiled happily.
"These officials in North Korea are the same as our Ming Dynasty! Although that king is not in the way of dealing with us, he still has some backbone, but he is so arrogant to take charge of politics, cede land and lead the way, tsk, the selling of the country is so complete, even more exaggerated than those civil officials in Beijing."
"Ribular opening?"
Xie Hong disagreed with Jiang Bin's statement. He sneered: "That's not the time. Now the Ming Dynasty is the world's number one power, so they can't find a buyer if they want to sell, so they can only do some poaching. But in the future, if the Ming Dynasty declines.........Hmph, do you think these bureaucrats will sell the country? They will not be worse than the Min Yizheng when they sell it."
After two lifetimes of experience, Xie Hong knew the nature of bureaucracy very well. It was not as simple as whether these people would be treasonable. They just did this.
There were many typical examples in the late Ming Dynasty. Some people did what Min Zhenghao had done, but what he hadn't done, or what he was doing now, some people had done it, leading the way, informing, killing his own generals, and even turning the switch to entrusting the enemy. The scholars and officials in the late Ming Dynasty did everything evil and there was no need to raise such trivial matters as surrender.
Therefore, Xie Hong did not intend to give the bureaucrats any chance, and always squeezed the other party's living space without leaving any room.
That's right, you should compromise if you play politics, but Xie Hong does not think he is a politician. He is based on his own fundamentals. His purpose is to completely sweep traditional bureaucrats into the garbage dump of history, so he cannot compromise.
If you compromise, you have to give up some of your interests, let the old bureaucrats avoid his team, and then subtly transform them.
But those bureaucrats are old foxes. After putting them in, whoever transforms them may be.
The old saying goes from frugality to extravagance, but from extravagance to frugality is good. He is used to privilege and loopholes. Xie Hong has no confidence in those old officials. If he was not afraid of forcing the other party too quickly and making a desperate bet, he would even want to come here to change his blood immediately in the capital.
As for the chaos that will cause, or the government orders are inconsistent, Xie Hong doesn't care. Humph, is it difficult to be an official? The human nature in the officialdom is indeed very knowledgeable, and he himself has not learned it. However, in terms of political affairs alone, the technical content is not as high as expected.
After seeing the shamelessness of North Korean officials, Xie Hong's belief became even stronger. These old bureaucrats under the banner of Confucian disciples must leave the market. Apart from all kinds of intrigues and the specialty of turning good things into bad things and bad things into tragic things, they would not have any benefit to society.
Of course, this matter should not be too urgent. The rope has been put on those people's necks, and it only needs to be tightened slowly. If it is too fast, it is inevitable that they will not take risks and lead to chaos in the world. Xie Hong did not want to see that scene.
In addition, we need to identify it by the way to avoid accidentally hurting good people. Not all the old bureaucrats were of the same type of goods. Occasionally, there were exceptions like Wang Shouren or later Hai Rui. These two people are well-known, and perhaps many are unknown. Therefore, Xie Hong has no one-size-fits-all plan.
"That's true." Jiang Bin had no good impression of the scholar-officials. Although he could not fully understand Xie Hong's resentment, he had no objection. He was concerned about other issues, "Brother Xie, you said you were looking for a purchase. Could that king want to buy a flywheel warship?"
"Well, it was the king's idea on the surface, but in fact it was the plan of the Beibangs. And behind the Beibang, there were probably still scholars from the Ming Dynasty......" Xie Hong pulled his finger and counted one by one.
"Wow, what a complicated relationship." Jiang Bin said astonished.
"It's indeed a bit messy..." Xie Hongxin nodded with a grievance.
Jin Zongshu, who was on the Ming Dynasty, moved quickly. He had returned to Hanyang more than half a month ago. Through Wang Yizheng, he made a request to buy a flywheel warship at the court meeting, and received Li's approval.
The reason why Li agreed was because of the advice of Left Political Consultative, he was ready to win over foreign aid and boost the national momentum.
Although Min Zhenghao felt doubts, he didn't say anything at the court meeting. Instead, he discovered the movements of Lee and Zuo Zheng through the eyes in the palace, and speculated about their plans, and even guessed them in the backstage.
Therefore, in order for the power of the South Band to not be overwhelmed, for his own power, and even for his own behavior, he did not directly object to the Governor's Office, but instead used a trick, that is, to write a letter to inform the government.
Conspiracy, spies, rumors, and various yin plots meet. Each participant has his own plans. How can this not be messed up?
"Then, don't sell the flywheel warship. If you get it for the Jiangnan people, wouldn't you use our knife to cut ourselves down?" Jiang Bin sighed and then suggested.
"Why don't you sell it? I was worried that North Koreans would not have money to buy it, but now isn't it? I will reply to Brother Ma later and ask him to raise the price and snap his fingers, smiling proudly.
"But……"
"In order not to make us suspicious, they will definitely not be able to send away all the buyers, so they have to buy more. This is a lot of money. It doesn't matter if the Jiangnan people get it and take it for research. Anyway, they will be eliminated, and they can also delay them for a while. There is more preparation time in Lushun."
