Chapter 215. red envelope
Who is the most warlike nation in all of Asia?
Some people say that it is Mongolia, Genghis Khan's majesty is all over the Eurasian continent, hundreds of millions of souls under the iron hoof, some say it is Turkic, the Seljuk Turks once made Europe tremble, and some people say that it is the Huns, but in fact, the most warlike is ourselves, the Han nation!
To the south conquered the south of Jingchu Lingnan, to the north conquered the mountains and mountains, what Dongyi Xirong, Jingchu Miaoman, Chiyou Jiuli, all defeated under the hands of our ancestors, the Chinese ancestors occupied the most suitable land for cultivation in the whole East Asia, all the opposition to us was either exterminated and annexed, or was beaten away from home, but also to maintain our unique culture for thousands of years, Huaxia, is the most warlike, the most brave.
This Mao Jue proves this point again.
After working hard for more than half a month, he finally dug the trench under the trench of the Dongjiang River, avoided the deadly firearms, and relied on bayonets and fire oil. As the sun sets, flocks of crows linger on the battlefield with desolate screams, and on the battlefield for thousands of meters, the corpses of samurai armor maru are lying on the ground, and swords, arrows, and spears are also stuck in the ground like reeds.
Puffs of black smoke rose from the trench, and the samurai inside had become a scorched eternity, and seemed to maintain their last movements before death, and a pair of dry and desperate hands were still desperately stretched upward, screaming in despair with a silent roar.
After fleeing in a hurry, it was a samurai, and standing on this battlefield, only the Dongjiang Army was the final victor!
"Is the tally out?"
"Back to the general, there are more than 1,700 battles, more than 1,000 burned to death, 1,000 seriously injured, and countless minor injuries! Can't count!"
"There are more than a few hundred captives."
Meat is not eaten for nothing, milk is not drunk for nothing, on this day, the Japanese army has been defeated as many as three times to replace six or seven banner generals, even if you look at the corpse can see the advantages and disadvantages, look in front of you, and then listen to the words of the military advisor Kuroda Sanbei, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face full of horizontal meat is unique to the Japanese devil, and he couldn't help but twitch violently.
In one day, he lost one-twentieth of his army of 100,000.
In the cold weapons of the feudal era, a tenth of the casualties were enough to collapse the entire army.
Just when Matsudaira Nobutsuna was trembling all over, a wounded Japanese army mother-clothed cavalry suddenly rushed back from the Dongjiang team that slowly retreated to the earthen wall, and was supported down by more than a dozen samurai in front of the Japanese army, and returned to the main formation with it.
"General General, General Ming sent a military letter, after he retreated and returned to the village, he allowed our army to collect the corpse, General Ming asked our army to quickly clean up the battlefield, tomorrow, he will continue to fight with the General General."
"These Tang thieves still dare to fight! Then let's fight! It was going to be to see how long they could dance? ”
The temper was the most irritable, the shogunate general Itakura Shigemasa simply pulled out his knife and roared at the retreating Dongjiang army, who knew that this provocative remark was full of meaning, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who was trembling with anger just now, unexpectedly calmed down.
"Daming is really a state of etiquette, since this is the case, pass the order and order the white-clothed team to go and collect the corpse! The corpses of the samurai who died in battle were buried in these trenches. ”
"General! Really filled in? ”
It almost didn't spew out, in order to dig a few trenches, how many lives were paid, there were as many as a thousand taels of gold for the bounty, and it was filled in after only one day? How will you fight tomorrow? Under the overwhelming gunfire.
The faces of the Matsukura Mori family and several Japanese generals in Itakura Shigekura were all green, and they shouted in disbelief, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna really seemed to be on the road, and this matter was actually full of ease.
"Hit? I won't fight tomorrow, everyone, let's disperse, just rest for a good life. ”
This made a group of competitive samurai almost squirt out, and seeing that Matsudaira Nobutsuna was really gone, a large group of samurai not only did not disperse, but the discussion became even more buzzing.
Even the military advisor Kuroda Sanbei was stunned for a few seconds by Matsudaira Nobutsuna's decision, but in an instant, he came out in a trance, laughed and slapped his head.
Sun Tzu's art of war has clouds, the first army is to fight, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city! The means of war are ever-changing, but in fact, they are not important, and all kinds of means are the most important to win the result.
What was the purpose of the shogunate's military force? Expelling Tang Kou, keeping Nagasaki, the most important foreign port of the shogunate, is happy to kill Mao Jue's corpses all over the field, but now it can't be beaten, the all-out attack eats cannons, and some attacks can't play the numerical advantage, and they can't beat people alone, so they can only be sent to death, what can they do now?
Then there is only one last way left, no fight!
Don't look at it as non-war, it is also an extremely important means of war.
Now the whole battle situation is actually very stalemate, don't look at the three battles the Japanese army was defeated, but the strength of Mao Jue's town is still not comparable to the strength of the Japanese half of the country, the expeditionary force does not have the strength to completely defeat the 100,000 Japanese army, and can not solve the current Japanese army reinforcements, there is no way to attack Nagasaki City with all their might, and Mao Jue's ultimate strategic goal can not be achieved.
There is also the problem of supply, although there are many Japanese soldiers, but the people are local supplies, endlessly, Mao Jue is across the sea after all, eating a bowl of rice is less than a bowl of rice, and the contrast of strength is one and the other.
As long as Songping Xingang is calm, the victory will belong to him sooner or later, this is just like the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping during the Warring States period in China, the early Zhao general Lian Po understood that the Qin army's labor division expedition could not eat himself, and he insisted on procrastinating, dragging the Qin State anxious but could only cry out in vain, but as soon as Zhao Kuo was replaced, the Zhao army dispatched by the light army fell into the encirclement of the Qin army in the first battle, and fought hard for more than 40 days, and the death of 400,000 Zhao troops was killed by the pit, and the strength of the entire Zhao State was empty.
Since he can't be Zhao Kuo, then Matsudaira Nobutsuna should be honest! He had many advantages over Lianpo, he was from the Imperial Family, and he was extremely close to the shogunate, so he was not suspicious, as long as the war dragged on until April or May, he Mao Jue would either starve to death or return empty-handed.
However, the literati knew in their hearts that they didn't say anything, more than a dozen old devils were chattering and chatting non-stop, and the contemporary think tank of the Kuroda family was also swaying, copycat Zhuge Liang shook a fan, and went out with a smile.
Around six o'clock in the evening.
Under the surveillance of the musketeers at the head of the city, these devils cleaned up the battlefield in a regular manner, directly throwing the lost in the trenches, and the scars of the earth that had been dug for more than half a month were healed little by little.
"What about today's casualties?"
"Four hundred and forty-three!"
This short number made Mao Jue couldn't help but be silent, after all, this is a warrior who has done three waves of 27,800 devil warriors without remembering the price, people are not machines after all, killing 3,000 people, and self-loss of 800 is unavoidable, on average, he is equivalent to being killed half of the regiment, and compared with the loss of one-twentieth of the Japanese people, the proportion of losses of the Dongjiang Army under the elite army policy is greater.
Especially looking at the Japanese army buried in the trench below, Mao Jue was even more silent.
"General Xiao Mao, these widows are no longer fighting, how are we going to fight?"
A deep voice sounded beside him, don't look at Li Shanhai is simply an idiot in military strategy, but he can be a soldier Cao Jujue, he can't be a real idiot, the old guy's eyesight is still very poisonous in the general direction, and he is also clear at a glance what Matsudaira Nobutsuna has to say, even now, he still has no confidence in Mao Jue's plan, and his voice is full of hollowness and doubts.
It's a pity that this matter is done by people, and Mao Jue didn't dare to make a package ticket, so he could only hum and tilt his head to Shen Rong beside him.
"Are you ready for what you've prepared?"
"Master Hui, everything is cleaned up!"
"Grab it, let's go! This dead man can't die in vain, at least he must give the war dividends to Lao Tzu and take them back first. ”
"The last general obeys!"
With his hands behind his back, Mao Jue looked like he was in good spirits and walked down from the city wall.
…………
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the decisive battle is obviously a personal effort for the Dongjiang army, one by one, in the fire, the sea fish near Iki Island are smeared with salt, and they are grilled directly, and the fishing industry is far less developed than that of later generations, and the fish fish caught are very fat, and the fish oil is dripping into the fire, making a popping sound.
It's just that the amount of rice and steamed buns that are staple foods seems to be a little less this time.
In the southwesternmost part of Tucheng, a tent was brightly lit, and dozens of guards guarded the vicinity, faintly listening to it, and some sounds that made people's blood boil in the middle of the night.
In the small movies of the island country that later generations have seen, there is no less element of witches, this one was realized by the Dongjiang Army, twice attacked by the Suzu Divine Army, and the eleven witches who visited the shrine were all captured by the Dongjiang Army, after all, these girls are "kind-hearted" witches, and there are many Dongjiang soldiers who have been "traumatized" today, and their needs should not be rejected as clergy, right? So more than 100 meritorious soldiers lined up outside the tent and accepted the "comfort" of the witches of the Japanese kingdom one by one.
Well, no one noticed that next to such a "noble" tent, in the black and inconspicuous small tent, the Tieyi general Mao Jue, the Li Chaobing sentenced Master Li Shanhai, and Ming, several generals of the two countries of the Li Dynasty gathered together, and opposite, there were several Japanese people who looked crooked and cracked, and there were even two foreign monks with silver crosses.
There was an uproar, seven flags, four horse seals, and a large number of honor guards were proudly thrown to the ground by the huge sea, these things can be called the soul of the whole army, if it is not for the battle to the last moment, these things will definitely not be captured, it can be seen how tragic the defeat of the Japanese army is today, looking at this bloodstained guy, the eyes of several Nagasaki Castle, the eyelids of the rich merchant representatives couldn't help but jump a few times.
After a dead silence for a while, a fat monster would get tired of eating the fat man, who was unwilling to eat, finally broke the silence, stood up and bowed violently.
"The general's bravery, the villain admires it, even if it is His Excellency Kenshin Tenkaisugi, the dragon of the Eastern Kingdom Echigo, it is not as good as the general's martial arts! But General, why do you repeatedly inflict the wrath of thunder on the heads of our innocent cities? ”
"Huh, innocent? Where's this, Nagasaki! Isn't it funny that you are secretly supporting the Japanese Koukou, and when the Heavenly Army comes to beg for it, you are pretending to be innocent with the generals? ”
The faces of several Nagasaki representatives who listened to this suddenly looked ugly, and lowered their heads for a while, the words are right, Nagasaki businessmen buying stolen goods from Japanese robbers is not even an open secret, it is a fact, but there is no international law in these years, your Ming generals do not fight the Japanese invaders, and the persimmons pick soft pinching to bully us businessmen, typical unreasonable!
Fortunately, even if these Japanese businessmen haven't understood it yet, they are muttering and explaining there, leaving aside the relationship with the Japanese Kou, but there are still two sensible ones on the scene, why should they be guilty of adding to it? Dealing with pirates, the two Dutch priests saluted straightforwardly.
"We can understand the anger of the Shogun, Shogun, what conditions do you need to save Nagasaki Castle from your wrath?"
These words made several other Nagasaki deputies also understand that now is not the time to reason, the cannon is the reason! Even if Mao Jue now says that the moon rises during the day and the sun rises at night, if they want to live, they have to agree, and finally shut up, and a few guys are also looking forward to candy babies, looking at Mao Jue with blank eyes.
is also a happy person, my brother Mao in society, Mao Jue also stretched out two fingers without any delay.
"One million taels of silver, 100,000 stone of rice grain!"
These words made the faces of several wealthy merchants in Nagasaki look ugly, one million taels of silver is easy to say, each family can divide it, and they can also take it out, but 100,000 stone rice grain, this is fate! Now Nagasaki City can be surrounded by Mao Jue, if the food is handed over, Mao Jue refuses to retreat, and the whole city will starve to death in a few days.
"General of the Celestial Empire, Nagasaki City is willing to give 1.5 million taels of silver, this rice grain, Nagasaki City really can't take out so much!"
"How about we make a bet? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Matsudaira Nobutsuna will not dare to move a single soldier in three days, and in three days, the world will break through Nagasaki Castle and burn it to the ground, just like last year!"
The naked threat made several fat people shudder and look at each other a few times, and these people nodded hurriedly in fear.
"Just as the general said!"
…………
In the early morning of the next day, the corner gate of Nagasaki City, which was next to the southeast of the earthen wall, finally opened with a bang, and the carts pushing grain and silver were continuously transported out, and began to slowly enrich into Mao Jue's granary that was about to be exhausted.
It's really a big joke, outside the city, 100,000 shogunate samurai did not hesitate to fight to the death, to defend this Nagasaki City, but on the other hand, Nagasaki City did not hesitate to send food and silver to the enemy's pockets, if you know, it is estimated that Matsudaira Nobutsuna will not be angry to death first, and then deceive the corpse to cut down these dead fat pigs with his own hands.
However, this is the reality of this era, not only this is the case of the Japanese country, how is it not the case of the Ming Dynasty, he Mao Jue himself is better, knowing that he can't sell contraband such as metal and ironware, but the Jin Shang Group, the biggest benefit recipient of the Ming and Qing dynasties, does not have so many scruples, these families have produced prime ministers like Zhang Siwei and do not know how many high-ranking officials of the wealthy family did not hesitate to go to the grassland with all the commodities needed by Houjin, and when needed, the military dispatch and defense intelligence of the Ming Dynasty can become excellent commodities.
In this regard, Mao Jue can't laugh at these Nagasaki businessmen with confidence, fortunately, he is not a spiritual cleaner, and he can endure a little gray area.
Curry had a bulging amount of food again, even if Li Shanhai's wavering heart was much calmer, and he continued to accompany Mao Jue to continue to play this game of staring at the big eyes, and the battle dragged on until the end of January, but at the beginning of February, a sudden incident broke the stalemate.
"What?"
Suddenly standing up from the military bench, full of incredulity, Matsudaira Nobutsuna roared and saved the messenger's neck.
