In fact, Liu Pei's sudden attack this time is, in a sense, good news for Tokugawa Iemitsu. Tokugawa Iemitsu could use the purpose of defeating Liu Pei to reorganize the power of the army. As long as he defeats Liu Pei, he will not put back the rights in his hands.

At that time, Tokugawa Iemitsu can use the power of this great victory to force Tokugawa Hidetada to truly retreat. So this is one of the reasons why Tokugawa Iemitsu is actively preparing for the war.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is actively preparing, and Liu Pei is not idle here. He continued to follow his plan, destroying a city every five days on average. He didn't get much benefit from these cities. It's because he left the other party plenty of time to warn.

Liu Pei's purpose in doing this was to get Tokugawa Iemitsu to gather more forces to defeat him in a battle. Rather than dragging the war into a protracted war of attrition. Once it enters the war of attrition, Liu Pei really can't afford to play! The only remaining funds will flow out like flowing water, which will not only not benefit him, but will slow down the pace of his development. That's why the pork was not late, but it caused a lot of trouble!

Later, however, when Liu Pei came to each city, he grabbed a few Japanese people who had not had time to flee and told them that the people of the Tokugawa shogunate were too greedy, and they had embezzled my belongings, so I came to recover my property.

Although this did not help, the news spread and was also a blow to the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate. You must know that the Tokugawa shogunate did not exist without people who opposed it!

On the 20th day, Liu Pei came to the open sea not far from Yokohama. This time he did not attack Yokohama directly. Because Yokohama is located on a small peninsula, the geographical location is extremely dangerous. If a naval division is stationed here, it will be able to directly protect the maritime safety of Edo. Therefore, Liu Bei felt that the Tokugawa shogunate would definitely gather an army of sailors in Yokohama to fight him to the death.

And the purpose of his stay in the open sea was to wait for reinforcements. After more than a month, more than a dozen ships in the shipyard have been repaired and will soon be added to his team. In this way, Liu Pei's fleet reached an unprecedented 58 ships! This huge fleet with the soldiers on board is enough to destroy a small country in Southeast Asia!

The support fleet was accompanied by a large number of Chinese sea-going vessels. Some of the sea boats were Liu Pei's own, and some were rented by Liu Pei for the sake of face. They also stay in the open sea. These ships were full of soldiers.

Liu Pei has already brought all the land soldiers through this sea. He was to lead this army to land in Edo after defeating the Wakoku Naval Division in Yokohama. If necessary, Edo Castle will also be defeated. However, Liu Bei estimated that this possibility was not high, and a large number of Japanese soldiers must have been gathered there.

On Liu Pei's flagship, Wu Yizhou and Qi Qitao appeared here at the same time, each bringing a large number of officers to the meeting. Wu Yizhou said that he had been fighting during this time. And Qi Qitao hasn't fought for a long time, and he can't stand it anymore.

So as soon as he saw Liu Pei, he complained loudly: "Marshal, you can think of us Army!" Our army is not raised by a stepmother, you can't throw us aside! ”

Liu Pei smiled and didn't speak, he knew that Qi Qitao was just complaining under the pretext. As the so-called crying child has milk to eat. He is crying and screaming now, just so that he can get more benefits in the future and tilt more military spending. As for saying that the army is the child of the stepmother, then it is called impossible! Everyone knows that the Army, especially in the ancient country of Asia, is the real eldest son!

As soon as Qi Qitao finished speaking, Wu Yizhou said: "You don't cry here to be poor!" Let me tell you, the military spending caught this time can only be tilted towards the navy! The marshal said, now is not the time for your army to show its strength. By the time your army moves, it's time for us to be deflated! ”

The two of them quarreled for a while and then stopped talking, sitting in their places and waiting for Liu Pei's orders. Liu Pei pointed to the huge map and said: "This time we have gathered all our forces to fight this battle, so I am here to officially remind everyone that this battle is a very heavy task!" It must be solved in a short time! In other words, at this time, the dead and wounded can no longer be taken into account! We not only want to win, but also to win beautifully, to win fast! ”

Hearing Liu Pei say this, everyone's hearts were full of joy! Liu Peike has never said anything that does not care about the dead and injured. In the past, Liu Pei always said that these soldiers were all seeds, and they were all seeds. Be sure to use it wisely. I didn't expect to say the order to ignore the dead and wounded today. It can be seen that this battle is really important.

Liu Pei glanced at everyone's tense connection, slowed down his tone and said, "I did say it very seriously, but don't worry!" Hum! Although we are at a disadvantage in terms of troops, we are in an absolute advantage in terms of quality! Navy, we have new warships and new artillery! The army also has artillery support! I believe that under the blow of artillery, no amount of troops will be able to hold up for long! The army in Nagasaki is proof of that! ”

At the mention of the Nagasaki battle, the people present began to rejoice. Liu Pei continued: "This campaign is divided into two parts. Part of it was the naval battle in Yokohama. In this naval battle, I planned to divide the fleet into two parts and take turns to attack and cover each other. I think that the number of enemy ships will far exceed ours, and only in this way can our fleet not be entangled by the other side and effectively strike at the other side. ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Dashuai, how many ships can be touched by the Japanese side? ”

Liu Jiang said on the side: "According to the information obtained by the Shimazu family and the information we collected ourselves, it is estimated that there will be no less than 200 ships!" ”

Everyone in the room took a breath of cold air! Liu Jiang added: "However, according to the battle of Nagasaki, the ships of the Wakoku Naval Division were lower in speed than ours, and the caliber and number of firearms were also lower than ours. As for how strong the hull is, it's a joke! The captains of the navy all said that our ships can deal with five ships of the Japanese kingdom! ”

Everyone laughed. Liu Pei then continued: "As for the second part of the battle, it is under Edo Castle!" After defeating the Japanese naval division, we will occupy the docks in Edo and transport the land under the cover of naval guns. Under Edo Castle, completely defeat the troops of the Japanese kingdom in front of the entire Japanese country! ”

Liu Jiang excused himself and said: "According to intelligence estimates, under Edo Castle, the Japanese may gather a team of about 4 to 60,000 people. This is a huge test for our army of only 6 thousand people! So the role of artillery is particularly important! We must pay attention to fully developing the firepower of artillery, which is the key to victory. ”
