"Who wants to do this?" Niu Jinxing looked at the intelligence that had just been handed over and felt his scalp numb. No wonder the battle went so smoothly at the beginning of the landing. It turned out that the Japanese pirates had long been prepared for a scorched earth war?
Guys with varying strengths on the island got together to shake off their wealth, and actually managed to assemble a million-strong army piecemeal.
The one million enemy troops on the Zhutian battlefield not only had a numerical advantage, but also gathered some of the most famous forces on the Japanese island. Their combat effectiveness was simply worlds away from the Shimazu farmers that Zhu Youcong bullied on Kyushu Island.
Don't. Although these Japanese pirates can easily be dealt with by the Ming Dynasty's overseas legions when they fight on their own, once they get together into a group, their strength cannot be underestimated!
"What are you yelling at? Isn't it good for them to squeeze in a bunch, so that I don't have to go door to door to clean up!" What made Li Zicheng so calm was the tattered old matchlock guns in the hands of the Japanese pirates, with a total of less than 60,000, and more than 300
The Ming Dynasty had long since eliminated the red barbarian cannons that were being repackaged and sold to Western allies... How dare he claim to be the army of the world's enemies? Li Zicheng dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the main force of the Tokugawa family was really not enough to demolish.
The brigade was stunned! "What's the use of just recording the heads of Japanese pirates in your account book? Where are the enemy generals? They made such a big fuss, didn't they send a few decent ones to lead the troops?"
"That's the military intelligence that I finally led someone to find out. It's not a shabby book used by profiteers to keep accounts, okay?" Chagan Bala muttered quietly in his heart, but he did not deny that he was still writing it.
It was really just a calculation of how many places he could have children after this battle. After he finished speaking with disdain, he had to say with a shy smile: "This... the general captured a few prisoners on the way back. It seems that they
You should know a lot about the situation on the other side!"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry and hand it over to the back team, so that they have to pry open these guys' mouths tonight!" Li Zicheng was not very interested in torture and extorting confessions, but there were still many hopefuls in the back team.
The Japanese pirates who came down for breeding. Although these guys are more cowardly than the others when fighting, their methods of tormenting people are far superior to those of the factory guards around General Zhenguo.[
"No need to interrogate, those guys came here to seek refuge on their own initiative!" Chagan Bala's scouts worked very hard. With the cooperation of the reconnaissance battalion, they not only completed the task half a day ahead of schedule, but also rescued a few unlucky guys who were well-dressed and frantically running for their lives.
Just now he was called a prisoner, but he just wanted to behead him and put it on his account. "General Mo will bring you in right now!"
"Is this a monkey or a human?" Li Zicheng felt confused as he looked at the prisoners being carried in.
"This... the general is not very clear!" These guys were already this virtuous when they first appeared, and Chagan Bala didn't take the time to distinguish them carefully. After hearing this, he quickly stepped forward and kicked him hard.
The foot said: "Hurry up and tell me, are you humans or monkeys?"
The clay monkey who was kicked quickly spoke up and replied in Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "It's a human! It's a human! I'm not a monkey, I'm a living person who can speak!"
"Traitor?" Even without Zhu Youcong's influence, everyone in the Ming Dynasty hated traitors. Li Zicheng roared angrily: "Drag him out and hand him over to the rear team! I don't have the time to listen to his nonsense.
Nao!"
"No! No! Sir, I am not a traitor! I am a spy of the Tokugawa shogunate!" Although he didn't know what kind of treatment he would receive when he arrived at the rear team, the clay monkey could tell from Li Zicheng's expression. That was definitely not the case.
There will be good fruit to eat.
"Japanese pirate spy?" Li Zicheng had met several enemy spies, but Li Zicheng really didn't know that there was such an idiot in the world and was not afraid of death. "Throw it out! Tell the rear team that there is no need to interrogate anymore, and just give them better food for the night!"
Another clay monkey first glanced at the guy who just spoke with resentment, then hurriedly rolled and squirmed in the middle before the guards in the tent could take the person, shouting loudly: "You are wronged, sir! We are not spies! We are
He escaped from the Tokugawa family and came to seek refuge with you!"
"Not a spy?" Li Zicheng didn't have time to think about why there were so many guys speaking Ming Mandarin here. He only felt as if he was being teased. "Come here, drag down the monkey who just spoke.
It’s baked!”
"It can't be roasted! It can't be roasted!" Now the clay monkeys finally know where this group of unknown guys came from. They are always ready to eat people. In addition to what Western businessmen mentioned a few years ago.
Cannibals, who else could there be? "This is the lord of Sunfu Castle and the third son that General Tokugawa loved most during his lifetime, Tokugawa Tadaga!"
Niu Jinxing, who originally planned to just watch indifferently, his eyes lit up. He stared hard at the group of monkeys thrown on the ground and said: "A member of the Tokugawa family? Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Tokugawa Tadaga no longer dared to show off his language talent, and quickly replied: "Yes! Yes..."
"Haha..." After cleaning up the pile of rags that the guards took out from Tokugawa Tadanaga's arms, Li Zicheng couldn't help but laugh up at the sky. This is really a treasure. Otherwise, he can learn more about the strength of the Japanese pirates, and it will be better to stay.
Send it to the general so that he can find enough reasons to intervene in Japanese affairs! Even if this battle accidentally kills the grasshopper in Kyoto and the prodigal son of Edo, it will not have any major impact on future actions.
Maybe we can even use this guy to completely help Ming clear his name!
"You're so ridiculous!" He really couldn't stand Li Zicheng's attitude. Zuo Liangyu kicked him hard and said, "This guy hasn't done anything yet. What are you happy about?"
It was right when I thought about it. Those excuses were only needed by the generals of the country and the regular army. The bandits like him only needed to know the details of the enemy's troop deployment. Li Zicheng didn't care about Zuo Liangyu's evil deeds and put on a look of justice.
He said with a solemn expression: "I am the great uncle of the Bangzi Kingdom, and I came here to take revenge on the orders of my grandchildren! Tell me quickly, why did you come to seek refuge with me?"
Stick Country? Where is that place? Tokugawa Tadanagi really couldn't remember when his ancestors had provoked such a powerful opponent, but the situation in front of him no longer allowed him to recall it slowly. Although he still felt tied up and thrown to the ground
It was very uncomfortable, but he still confessed: "I am the third son of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogunate of the Tokugawa shogunate..."
It can be said that Tokugawa Tadanagi is quite unlucky. He finally met a confused father who alienated him because he left his brother in the care of a wet nurse. He is about to succeed to the position of shogun by relying on his parents' favor. But who knows that?
Damn Takechiyo actually incited the wet nurse Kasuga Bureau to go and cry to the retired Tokugawa Ieyasu. As a result, the old turtle insisted on respecting some tradition, forcing the embarrassing Hidetada couple to name Tokugawa Iemitsu as their heir.
What dissatisfied Tokugawa Tadanagi the most was that his brother who became the shogun was really bullying others. He just hunted apes at Sengen Shrine, where killing was prohibited, and chatted with beheading a few servants and servants.
Killing pregnant women to examine their fetuses for the sake of scientific exploration... Such a trivial matter is actually worth his going to war. Imprisoning himself in Kofu? And then being exiled to Kai? Who is that Doi Toshikatsu? He can still be provoked
Took Tokugawa Iemitsu to seize his fiefdom and order himself to commit seppuku?
Anyway, it is your destiny to be a retainer. Since Takechiyo, who is inferior in appearance and intelligence, will not let him live, then he should simply find another backer and deal with him first! Maybe the new master will be happy and reward him with a big place.
How about giving yourself authority and blessing? The worst you can do is play with that puppet in Kyoto, stay in the house and pretend to hug your lovely wife and concubine every day, and then put on patched clothes and drink porridge to play! [
"So, your grandpa is really nothing!" Li Zicheng didn't bother to calculate how much of Tokugawa Tadanaga's words were true. He was just eager to know how much military intelligence this guy had in his head.
Of course, it is also appropriate to fool people a little before extracting information to make people happy. "Don't worry, although we are here for revenge, we are not the kind of people who can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. We also understand the world.
No matter how big the situation is, only those who are capable will be in charge. As long as you help us destroy the group of scourges on the opposite side, we will support you in becoming the shogun!"
Zuo Liangyu and others did not raise any objections to this promise made by Li Zicheng without authorization. Both Zhu Youcong and Chongzhen mentioned it in their instructions to the overseas legions that as long as the opponent's territory and population could be seized,
Once you have it in your hands, don’t worry about those false names! The generals of the Zhenguo can appoint the Archbishop of the East at will. When the three giants of their overseas legions were chatting, they found an open space to pull out two rags and stick a few branches to create a shogunate. Why not
Okay? Of course, the title of General is just talk and cannot be given. Otherwise, the little monster above his head would not be able to cause trouble for them?
/
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!" It seems that these cannibal bosses who speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin are quite kind-hearted. As long as you don't provoke them, there will be great benefits. This is not a big revelation. They have rewarded a shogun.
Position. If you really help them occupy the Japanese island, maybe you can... Tokugawa Tadanagi thought of this and looked secretly in the direction of Kyoto.
Isn't it just to give him a broken tent to live in? Isn't it worth being so happy? The pig pens in our Luoyang people's homes are all made of stone! Zuo Liangyu obviously can't understand Tokugawa Tadaga's mood at this time, and he is very impatient.
: "Don't be too busy thanking me for now. Let's quickly talk about the guys under that prodigal son who are worthy of being on the stage."
"Yes, yes!" Tokugawa Tadanagi, who had just been untied and was cleaning his face covered with dirt, put down the rag handed to him by the guards. He said with a proud face: "When your lords came to our country, Takechiyo obeyed them.
The military advisor's suggestion is to adopt the arrogant strategy. The purpose is to lengthen your army's front line as much as possible, and then find an opportunity to cut off your army's food route with one blow! Therefore, all your lords have encountered before are some of the ninth-rate foot soldiers.
The purpose of lightness is to make you think of underestimating the enemy..."
After a pause, he found that the enemy generals in the big tent were not panicked by the news. Tokugawa Tadanagi sighed that they were calm-minded but also a little disappointed. He quickly clasped his fingers and said: "So this time on the battlefield of Zhutian
Responsible for the frontal defense of your army is the Tokugawa family's nearly 300,000 elite troops jointly commanded by Asai Yori and Mori Tadamasa. The Sendai Domain's Date Tadamune and Date Hidemune also led 80,000 troops including nearly 10,000 fire cavalry.
The Ise Iron Cavalry. On the two wings are the 180,000 army under the command of the Choshu Domain Mouri Hide, who has never shown up, and more than 100,000 samurai who came from the Echigo area under the personal command of Kamigami Sadakatsu..."
"Where's the coach? With so many people working together, there won't be a common commander, right?" Li Zicheng had never heard of any of those names, but it could be seen from Tokugawa Tadanagi's face full of sorrow that these guys must all have the same command.
He is the tyrant of Japan who usually divides himself into one side. If there is not a strong coach to coordinate, it will still be scattered, and it will be easy to defeat them individually.
"Yes! Yes! The person in charge of taking charge of Takechiyo this time is a Ming general!" For fear that others would not believe it, Tokugawa Tadanagi quickly added: "Not only did he retrain Takechiyo according to the Ming country's method of training Guan Ning's cavalry,
He was good at Ise cavalry and used weapons extensively in the army, which played a big role in Takechiyo's ability to quickly grasp the situation of our country. After your army landed this time, he even formulated a plan to avoid the edge and lure your army deep into our country.
In order to win over him, Takechiyo specially accepted several adopted daughters to marry. If the noble army had not suddenly arrived, he would have supported him in leading troops to attack the Ming Dynasty two years later. He also promised that the Yalu River would be used as the boundary to carve up the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Liaodong and North Korea..."
"What?" Li Zicheng's heart tightened. This traitor was really courageous. He actually dared to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty. If General Zhen Guo, who had nothing to do on Kyushu Island, found out about this news, he wouldn't be able to act in a hurry.
Come to cause trouble? Fortunately, the little monster has the foresight, otherwise it would be two years later that he, the great uncle of the Bangzi Kingdom, would really have to help Li Zhen resist foreign enemies. You must know that Guan Ning Cavalry was an old subordinate of Sun Chengzong, and during its heyday
The Tatars were beaten so hard that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. If someone trained the Japanese pirate cavalry in the same way, they would definitely not be able to withstand it with a stick. "Who is that guy?"
"Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, the former Jinzhou guard in the Ming Dynasty!" ()
