After sending away two capable subordinates, Tokugawa Iemitsu was still not at ease. He was in the council hall, walking back and forth, thinking about the Tiger Army all the time. From time to time, "He was still a little unaccustomed to pressing the short sword on his waist." It is said that his waist "has not been combsp for a long time; This posture made the surrounding shogunate ministers feel a little frightened. If Tokugawa Iemitsu got angry and demanded that one of them apologize, they would be doomed. The pressure that the Tiger Benjun brought to Tokugawa Iemitsu this time is indeed a bit big! Since he was born, Tokugawa Iemitsu seems to have never experienced war.
Fortunately, "Tokugawa Iemitsu just unconsciously pressed the short sword on his waist" and did not have the idea of offending someone. At this time, the shogun's mind only had the term Tiger Army. Tokugawa Iemitsu had a strange instinct, feeling that this time the Tiger Army was menacing, but he was afraid that it was not very easy to deal with, and he had to do something more to ensure the safety of the shogunate.
But what more can be done? Tokugawa Iemitsu felt dazed. He had already sent his sharpest troops, delivered as much supplies and equipment as possible to the front line, and everything he could have done had already been done. If he did this, he still couldn't defeat the Tiger Army, and he didn't seem to have a better way. Is it to drive the expedition in person?
"Nope." Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head lightly and rejected his own suggestion.
He still has a deep understanding of his own abilities. He was definitely not a battlefield commander like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he "didn't have a deep understanding of combat command." He had never been on the battlefield, so naturally he didn't have any battlefield experience. To be precise, he even felt that "he was on the battlefield" might not be as good as a flag book.
However, if both Masatsushi Chiefizaki and Yuki Abe were defeated, the shogunate was afraid that they would be in danger. The shogunate, which grandfather and father had worked so hard to build, could not be buried in their own hands. This is the bottom line of Tokugawa Iemitsu. So "he had to do a little more." Even if it's something that doesn't make sense," he needs to do a little more to reduce the psychological pressure.
"It's all those damn untrustworthy Dutchmen!" Tokugawa Iemitsu thought silly in his mind.
It was precisely because of the Dutchman's promise that they would send the main fleet north to block the Tiger Army overseas, that Tokugawa Iemitsu made a mistake in judging the Tiger Army's Deng-6 operation. If it weren't for the Dutch, Tokugawa Iemitsu's military ability would have been terrible, "he would have known how to garrison troops along the northern coast of the country of Nagamén!"
As a result, the Dutch, who vowed to save Japan, "the main fleet has not arrived, but the Tiger Army's Operation Deng 6" has already begun. In a sense, "the shogunate was played hard by the Dutch."
Even if it wasn't malicious, it had serious consequences for the shogunate. The consequences of such a nong are very serious.
Fortunately, the Tiger Army had only just come ashore and had not done much damage to the shogunate, and it was still too late for the shogunate to take measures to save it. The army in the vicinity of Heiankyo and Hiroshima can also quickly mobilize "to block the movement of the Tiger Army." The armies around Edo "could also be quickly moved westward to further increase the force of the resistance."
At the same time, "in the rear of the shogunate, more ashigaru (infantry)" could be recruited to prepare for larger-scale battles. Tokugawa Iemitsu decided, out of the way, to increase the number of shogunate troops "to a terrifying number: half a million." Even if there are not enough muskets, use weapons such as bamboo spears and spears, and build an army.
To be precise, Tokugawa Iemitsu at this time did not realize the significance of the Deng 6 operation. In his opinion, the Tiger Army just went ashore. When I go ashore, I am still far from occupying Japan. These are two completely different concepts. The battle after going ashore is the real battle. The initiative on the battlefield is still in the hands of the shogunate.
At the beginning, the Japanese army had landed on the Korean Peninsula many times, but it didn't last long before it was defeated by the hateful army of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is precisely because of this habitual thinking that Tokugawa Iemitsu feels that he can also defeat the Tiger Army. Of course, "it would be better if it didn't take so much effort".
"Where's Matsui-kun?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked suddenly.
"I'm on my way back to Edo."
There is a cautious response from the elderly.
"Hurry up, please." Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly.
"Hello!"
Someone immediately went out to pass the money, "Go all!" After the arrangement was made, Tokugawa Iemitsu's mood calmed down slightly. With a wave of his hand, he told everyone to step back and sit down alone, silently pondering some key questions. In the end, his mind fell on Daisuke Matsui. Daisuke Matsui was his last support. This person was one of the "auxiliary ministers" left to him by Tokugawa Hidetada. He was both a great military strategist and a brilliant assassin. If it weren't for his protection, perhaps, Miyamoto Musashi would have broken into the Ooku and "split his Tokugawa Iemitsu 1uan knife." It can be said that Daisuke Matsui is the most powerful guardian of the Tokugawa shogunate. If even Daisuke Matsui can't control the situation, then there's no way.
"What if Daisuke Matsui really can't do it"? Tokugawa Iemitsu had to think about it seriously.
Such a thought is a little frightened, a little nervous, and a little exciting.
It is a well-established fact that even the demon sword Muramasa could not withstand the shè blows of the musketeers. The muskets of the Tiger Army are said to be even more powerful than those of the Dutch. In this way, if the shogunate army wants to defeat the tiger army, I am afraid that it will be more difficult. Daisuke Matsui's katana "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hurt Jang Joon himself." If Masatsumi was defeated, if Yuki Abe was defeated, if Daisuke Matsui was defeated...... the shogunate would not have any strong military power. If such a situation really occurs, how should he Tokugawa Iemitsu think about it?
What does the Tiger Army want?
It is nothing more than the market of the "day" and the resources of the "day".
Sado Island has been snatched up by the Tiger Army. This can be left uncounted. For other resources, it is estimated that the Tiger Ben Army will not be able to look at it. If the guess is correct, the "biggest target of the Tiger Army" must be Iwami Ginzan. The damn royal family, it is estimated that they also used Iwami Silver Mountain to lure the Tiger Ben Army to help them.
If Iwami Ginzan could be exchanged for the cessation of the attack by the Tiger Army, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't mind doing so. He can take the initiative to cede Iwami Silver Mountain to the Tiger Army, as long as the Tiger Army is willing to stop the attack. Because, whether Iwami Ginzan is leased to the Dutch, or leased to the Tiger Army, it will not be under the control of the shogunate anyway. Rather than snatching it away from the royal family, "it's better to cheapen outsiders!"
"Perhaps, the situation is not so bad and can hold on for a while. At the beginning of the stage, the number of the Tiger Ben army could not be very large. On the contrary, we have a large number of troops. Even if we fight five, we should win. ”
Virtue "the light of the family is deep on the ground" and prays secretly.
In fact, the situation was much more serious than Tokugawa Iemitsu had imagined.
Under Zhang Zhun's arrangement, after the Tiger Ben army went ashore, the three main forces, like three arrows, rushed in three directions. At this time, "Chafis has already contacted the people of the royal family. They were apparently happy to serve as guides and interpreters for the Tiger Army. With these high-level leading parties, the "Tiger Ben Army" will naturally advance without hindrance.
The first to occupy "was the port of Shimonoseki." At this time, the port of Shimonoseki "should be called Maguan, and it is still a very small port, with only five berths. Each berth can only accommodate ships with a displacement of about 500 tons. However, the geographical location of this port is important. The Tiger Army controls this place, and the Tiger Army Navy can cut off the connection between Kyushu and Honshu Island. Once Kyushu is cut off from Honshu, "it will only wait for death."
There are many excellent ports on the island of Kyushu, especially Nagasaki, which has always been one of the ports open to the outside world in Japan, and has excellent port facilities. The logistical materials of the Tiger Ben Army can be smoothly landed here. The Tiger Navy, which could also directly station a fleet here, could block the possible northward reinforcements of the Dutch. Of course, it is completely okay for all three fleets of the Tiger Army Navy to dock here.
After the Huben army occupied Maguan, Zhang Zhun immediately ordered that the second batch of Deng 6 troops would go ashore at Maguan. The port conditions here are "obviously better than those of the Long Mén country, which is conducive to the transportation of goods." Through the efforts of logistical engineering personnel, the number of rudimentary berths "was increased to ten." The original five berths have also been widened and deepened. After a simple renovation, the port of Shimonoseki can now accommodate up to 10 large transport ships at the same time.
At the same time as occupying the port of Xiaguan, the other troops of the Tiger Ben Army had already advanced along the main road "towards Zhou Fangguo." Along the way, the resistance they encountered was minimal. There is a royal family leading the way, and the ordinary people of Japan will naturally not resist fiercely. Only those who are loyal to the shogunate will shoot. As soon as they fired, the Tiger Army immediately returned fire. With the Minnie gun against the C-shaped musket, the battle is naturally no suspense. Soon "they reached the sea."
The occupation of the Chang Mén and Zhou Fang countries meant that the Tiger Army had enough points to climb 6 points. After the expansion of Shimonoseki Port, it can basically meet the transportation needs of Deng6 materials. The 6 places of Zhou Fangguo are also enough for the Tiger Ben Army to set up defensive depth. Even if the Japanese army desperately counterattacked, it could not threaten the safety of the port.
The Tiger Ben Army, which was marching towards Zhou Fangguo, "The target of the attack was Hiroshima. Hiroshima is a large port alongside Nagasaki and is well equipped with facilities, making it an ideal port for boarding 6. After the Tiger Army took control of Hiroshima, more troops and supplies could be landed here. Hiroshima is still relatively close to Heiankyo, which is conducive to direct contact with the enemy.
In fact, in terms of distance, the 6th unit of the Tiger Ben Army "is really close to Hiroshima, as if it is within reach." It's just that in the middle of the Tiger Army and Hiroshima, there is already a Jīng Rui of the Shogunate Army stationed here. Of course, the Japanese army refused to let Hiroshima easily fall into the hands of the Tiger Army. Therefore, when the Tiger Army attacked Hiroshima, it was immediately met with a fierce counterattack by the Japanese army. The number of the Tiger Army was too small to maintain the momentum of the offensive, and the battle was temporarily stalemate.
"The name of the commander of the Japanese forces around Hiroshima was Yuki Abe, and he was the backbone of the shogunate. The army he commanded, numbering 23,000 men, was all armed with iron cannons and large mirrors. He fought back several times together, "but we were all repulsed." However, until the second echelon arrives, we will not have the strength to attack Hiroshima for the time being. ”
Wang Junyu reported these pieces of information to Zhang Zhun in detail, of course, from those who led the way from the royal family. They really know the situation of the shogunate, "like a few treasures." As the shogunate force that monitored the Imperial Family, Yuki Abe led was, of course, the jīng Rui of Jīng. With the advantage of numbers, he was able to block the first wave of attacks of the Tiger Army, and it was indeed not difficult to Wei At present, Abe Yuki is deploying a defensive line to block the advance of the Tiger Army as much as possible. At the same time, "to the east of Hiroshima, he was gathering reserves and seemed to be about to launch a large-scale counterattack." The forward units of the Tiger Ben Army "have moved to the defensive, preparing for a Japanese counterattack."
In order to ensure victory in the battle, Yuki Abe spent several days preparing. Since the Japanese commander was not in a hurry, Zhang Zhun was certainly not in a hurry. He was waiting quietly, waiting for the arrival of the second echelon of the Tiger Army. After unloading all the personnel and supplies, the transport ship returned to the port of Busan "to prepare for loading the second echelon of the 6th unit."
The first echelon of the 6th unit of the Tiger Ben Army was only 5,000 people, and it was also divided into three ways to attack, and the troops were relatively weak. However, the strength of the second echelon is relatively considerable. The second echelon had the yùzi battalion, the Zhenzi battalion, the letter character battalion, and an artillery battalion, with a total strength of "7,000 men."
In addition, "one of the sharpest Mongol cavalry thousands" would also go ashore at the port of Shimonoseki under the leadership of Hasqige. At the same time, the 1,000 most sharp Korean Janissaries commanded by Li Jue would also go ashore at the port of Shimonoseki. The arrival of these two units will also enhance the combat capability of the Deng-6 troops. In particular, the Mongol cavalry can effectively increase the impact of the Tiger Army.
The vast majority of the Japanese cavalry was in the Kanto Plain. If the information is correct, there is no Japanese cavalry in the vicinity of Hiroshima. After the Mongol cavalry landed on the 6th, they could have used their superiority in maneuvering to smash the Japanese army into pieces. All the Mongol cavalry on the 6th day were equipped with tiger commanders, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of bows and arrows.
The most critical thing is that the artillery battalion commanded by Li Yang is among them. This is the main force of the field war. A field gun of 125mén! Once Abe Yuki counterattacked, those 12o mm caliber field guns could blow them up and tear them apart. The Iron Curtain composed of field artillery, tiger mirrors, flying thunder cannons, mines and other weapons was enough to make the Japanese army crush to pieces and unable to move forward.!!
