Chapter 609: Jeju Shinma (Page 1/1)

The Shogunate's actions did not hide the shadow of the Changxing Army, and as the merchants gathered on Kyushu Island, the Shadow received a lot of news from the Shogunate.

These messages were sent to Jang Doo's desk on Jeju Island as soon as possible, and Jang Doo did not have the slightest nervous expression on his face after reading the news sent.

As a result of the sneak attack on Iwami Ginshan, Zhang Dou had already thought that the shogunate would definitely not give up this time.

In order to deal with themselves, the shogunate had already spent every silver judgment in the treasury, and most of their finances depended on the output of Iwami Ginzan to survive.

Zhang Dou gave the shogunate a broken root, how not to let the shogunate dog jump off the wall in a hurry. The battleships in the shipyard had to be built, the guns in the cannon casting workshop had to be cast, the training of the navy had to be carried out, and the Dutch had to be hired with silver, and under a series of pressures, Tokugawa Iemitsu was not driven crazy.

Now that the shogunate has issued a loan, Zhang Dou is not surprised, no matter what country it is, the richest group of people are merchants. When the country encounters financial difficulties, they are always the first to think of them, and these people are the mobile treasury, and it is only natural to attack them.

Zhang Dou believed that as long as the fleet that the Wa Shogunate had worked so hard to build up, the Shogunate would be on the verge of collapse.

A shogunate without finances can't support it at all, and who can the shogunate target at that time?

Daimyo from all over the world? I am afraid that as long as the shogunate dares to make a move, the daimyo of the entire Wa kingdom will unite to crusade against the shogunate.

The daimyo of the merchants could still bear it, after all, the knife was not on their necks. They can still follow the light when they collect the merchants, but once the knife hits them, these people will definitely unite to overthrow the rule of the shogunate.

At that time, without Zhang Dou's hands, the shogunate will return to the Warring States period. As long as the most powerful Jiuzhou Satsuma does not make a move, the Japanese kingdom will be turned upside down.

At that time, it was the time of Zhang Dou's harvest, and the Changxing army needed weapons to fight, and the Changxing army needed food to fight......

When the last silver sentence of the Wa Kingdom is squeezed dry, Zhang Dou will swallow the Wa State in one gulp. Although there are frequent earthquakes on Wajima, I believe that the industrious Chinese people will not care, and it is much better than cold Siberia.

……

As soon as Tokugawa Iemitsu's borrowing order was implemented, the shogunate was able to raise the money for a while.

Although the daimyo from all over the world used his name to get a lot of benefits, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't care.

What he cares about is when the battleships in the Yokosuka shipyard will be launched, when the guns in the cannon casting workshop will be cast, and when the sailors will be trained.

For the sake of this sailor, he has gambled everything, on the future of the shogunate. He could no longer wait for the moment agreed with the Dutch and other Xiyi people, and if he was attacked by pirates a few more times, the shogunate would definitely go bankrupt.

At that time, all kinds of forces that he suppressed by force would come to an end, and that would be the end of the shogunate.

At the urging of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the Yokosuka shipyard was working day and night, and the battleships in the dockyard were being built one by one.

In particular, the Uraga waterway was built with dense forts on both sides of the waterway. Tokugawa Iemitsu believed that if pirates arrived, they would die in the waterways.

……

In the Dingliao Marquis Mansion on Jeju Island, Zhang Dou was accompanying his son to go crazy. Xiao Zhang Ziqiang can already run on his own, rolling in meetings with his father on the grass in the garden.

Zhu Huijuan, whose belly was already obviously bulging, was obviously much more stable, and the liveliness on her face was a little less, and she was more mature and stable.

Pregnant, she seems to have changed as a person, and no longer runs out of the house to make crazy noise. In the house, he followed Sun Yuxiu to ask pregnant women what to pay attention to, and the child in the womb was even more precious.

Sun Yuxiu smiled and looked at the father and son who were crazy in the garden, and a trace of sweetness rose in her heart. Although she and Zhang Dou are very affectionate, due to frequent wars, they still have to be separated for most of the year.

Looking at her husband who was chasing her son in the garden with a hearty smile, she knew that Zhang Dou was going to go on an expedition again. The Jeju Island military camp has been busy, and the navy and army have gathered on Jeju Island. Even the cavalry, which was rarely used, came in large numbers, and the atmosphere of the great battle hung over Jeju Island.

In the Jeju Island Horse Farm, Zhang Dou happily looked at the dozen tall war horses in front of him. These war horses are much taller than Mongolian horses, and their bodies are even more exposed, and they are very good at speed at first glance.

Bayan said happily in front of Zhang Dou: "Handsome! This is the war horse bred on Jeju Island, it is not as good as the Mongolian horse, it is not as fast as the Xiyi horse, but he has the advantages of these two horses.

First of all, this kind of horse is not as picky as the Xiyi war horse, and it only needs three to five days to feed a meal of wheat to maintain strong physical strength.

Secondly, their endurance is much stronger than that of Xiyi war horses, although they are not as good as Mongolian horses, and they are not much worse. In terms of speed, it is much stronger, whether it is used to break the formation, or to chase the enemy, it is a good horse! ”

Zhang Dou nodded, Bayan and the people of their Duoyan Department are not bad at herding. The successful cultivation of new horse breeds in Jeju has solved the problem of war horses for the Changheung army, and with excellent war horses, the Changxing army has the ability to eliminate the Jurchens.

The Jurchens will no longer be the same as before, fighting and running whenever they want. At that time, the cavalry of the Changxing Army will definitely chase the Jurchens, and there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Zhang Dou once thought of introducing Arabian war horses or Andalusian war horses on a large scale, but these two war horses needed to be fed with barley and other fine food. It's not picky like Mongolian horses at all, and raising such a group of war horses will overwhelm the Changxing army just by consuming food.

Although the horses bred in Jeju are not as fast as the Arabian horses and the Andalusian horses, the horses that can be fed with a small amount of fine food are the greatest success.

The biggest problem today is that the number of such new horses is too small, and there are only about 300 of them. If you want to equip cavalry on a large scale, it will take at least three or five years.

This second attack on the shogunate Jeju new horses was useless, so they could only continue to use Mongolian horses to make do.

Bayan finished introducing the war horse, and said with a flattering face: "Handsome! Are we going to make a big move again this time? Look ~ Is it for our cavalry to move, since the last time Fuzhou, the cavalry has been training all day long, and the boys are holding back, isn't it...... Hey!! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Your Excellency, Your Excellency! A knight's highest honor is to die in battle on the way to charge, and Andrew is ready to go out at any time. Andrew and his boys will use their spears to destroy all enemies! Andrew also spoke up.

The two cavalry commanders took the initiative to ask for battle in front of Zhang Dou, waiting for Zhang Dou's order with an expectant expression.
