Chapter 986 Miyamoto Musashi?

（09

Today's second update is delivered!

Even if there is heavy artillery, the defense of Sado Island will not be able to transport the front line of Sado Island. As long as the Japanese army does not have heavy artillery, Li Yang's artillery battalion can be an opponent to his heart's content. Weapons such as flying thunder cannons can also be used unscrupulously to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.

However, once the Japanese and the Dutch colluded together, and the Dutch fleet reached the port of Aikawa Castle, the artillery of the Dutch battleships could easily raze Aikawa Castle. Judging from the range and power of the cannon, Li Yang's artillery battalion is obviously inferior to the large warships of the Dutch. As for the flying thunder cannon or something, there is no chance to fire it.

To put it simply, with the help of the Dutch fleet, it was entirely possible for the Japanese to recapture Sado Island. Although, emotionally, up and down the Marine Corps, are reluctant to admit it. But intellectually, this painful reality must be accepted. Once the Dutch intervene, the current strength of the Tiger Ben Army on Sado Island will definitely not be able to hold it.

"Don't be nervous, it's not that bad."

Zhang Zhun let his tone be as calm as possible, and said slowly.

Actually, he knew that Fang He would definitely be nervous. This news made him, a traverser, feel a little nervous, let alone Fang He? The reason why Liu Dong was not called was because Liu Dong's psychological tolerance was worse than Fang He's. If Liu Dong learned the news, he was afraid that the cold sweat on his forehead would come down quietly.

"I've ordered the message. On Sado Island, only you and me, and two staff officers, know. No one else knows. ”

Zhang Zhun looked cold and said slowly.

After learning that the Dutch fleet had arrived in Hiroshima, Zhang Zhun decided that he should keep the news strictly and not let the people below know about it. Sado Island is indeed too far away from the Ming mainland. At such a distance, the helpless, human psychology is prone to bad changes. It cannot be inferred by common sense at all.

If the marines below learned that the Dutch fleet was coming to attack Sado Island, there would definitely be a big problem. The psychological pressure has accumulated to a certain extent, and it is about to explode. At that time, even if he comes forward, he may not be able to bounce down. Such a scene is what Zhang Zhun does not want to see.

"That's for the best."

Fang He said with a little relief.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree, the prestige of the Dutch on the sea, was not built overnight. This is a sea overlord who even Zheng Zhilong has encountered and has to take a detour. They came to intervene in the Japanese war, and the future of Sado Island is just a little bleak.

"Now that the Dutch are here, we have to hurry up a little bit about our affairs."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said awe-inspiringly.

"What do you mean by ......"

Fang He said with some confusion.

"You go back to Phi Island at once, and prepare for the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Marine Corps. The current Marine Corps was renamed the First Battalion, with Liu Dong as the commander. Zhu Chengtai and Lu Liangyu will go back to Phi Island with you. The two of them, Νniеpομ, each battalion was of the same composition as the first battalion. ”

Zhang Zhun waved his right hand and said decisively.

Originally, he had plans to expand the Marine Corps and strengthen the strength of the Marine Corps, but for some reason, this plan has not yet been implemented. The original plan was to start forming the second battalion of the Marine Corps in May. However, now that the military situation is urgent, he must make up his mind.

Since the Dutch intervened in the Japanese battlefield, it meant that from now on, the Tiger Ben Army and the Dutch would directly enter a state of war. Whether it was the previous Tartar, or the current Zheng Zhilong and the Japanese, they did not put too much pressure on Zhang Zhun. However, the confrontation with the Dutch did make Zhang Zhun feel a sense of breathlessness.

If Zhang Zhun was not a traverser and didn't know the strength of the Dutch, maybe he wouldn't have had so much pressure. However, he is a time-traveler and has a lot of knowledge that does not belong to this world. He knew very well that the Dutch at that time were the overlords of the sea. They defeated Portugal, defeated Spain, controlled more than 50% of the world's oceans. Half of the world's ships fly the Dutch flag.

In real history, the decline of the Dutch should have begun after 1650 AD. At present, it is still 1638 AD, and there are still more than ten years before the decline of the Dutch. In other words, the current Dutch are at the peak of their prime. Against the Dutch Navy at its peak, can Zhang Zhun be free of pressure?

Fortunately, the focus of the Dutch is not in East Asia, otherwise, Zhang Zhun would have almost no chance to compete with the other party. As long as the thousands of Dutch warships pressed over together, Zhang Zhun would not even be able to defend Shandong, let alone islands such as Jeju Island and Sado Island. However, even so, it was difficult for Zhang Zhun to defeat the Dutch.

It must be admitted that the navy of the Dutch is indeed quite strong. In the short term, the Tiger Navy's navy had no chance of catching up with the Dutch. However, the army of the Dutch, it is more sparse - have you heard of the army of the Netherlands? Since the navy could not defeat the Dutch in the short term, Zhang Zhun was ready to start with the marines.

The battle with the Dutch required an extremely powerful navy and an extremely powerful marines. Because, in addition to the decisive battle at sea, there are also a large number of island landing battles in the duel with the Dutch. It just so happens that this piece is relatively weak for the Dutch. If you can't defeat your opponent on the ocean, then make up for it by fighting.

The basic principle of war is to pinpoint the weak points of the other side and strike decisively. In short, it is to surprise and attack unprepared. For this point, Zhang Zhun will never forget. Fortunately, the Tiger Army still has time.

Zhang Zhun estimated that the current arrival in Hiroshima, Japan, should be the forward fleet of the Dutch, and the strength will not be particularly strong. Those giants with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons should not appear in Japanese waters. The main fleet of the Dutch should still be in the South Seas. Nanyang and Japan are so far away, even if the main fleet of the Dutch really arrives in Japan, it is impossible to stay for too long.

Compared with Japan, the interests of the South Seas are obviously more important. Spain and Portugal also had a stronger maritime strength than the current Tiger Army. The main fleet of the Dutch, if it left the South Seas, the Spanish and Portuguese would definitely take advantage of it. For the sake of Japan, to lose the South Seas, the Dutch, of course, could not.

Having said all this, it is nothing more than one thing that is clear. Even if the Dutch come, their strength will not be particularly strong. Unless the matter is really urgent, the main fleet of the Dutch should not appear in Japan. Therefore, as long as the Tiger Ben Army and Navy are cautious and deal with the other side, there is still hope of victory.

However, it is such a detachment, and the Tiger Ben Navy is afraid that it will be very difficult to deal with. No matter how bad the fleet of the Dutch is, there will be large warships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons. At present, the largest warship in the Tiger Navy, with a displacement of only about 600 tons. If you really fight, it will be too hard.

The military situation was urgent, and Fang He, Zhu Chengtai, Lu Liangyu and others left Sado Island the next day. They were accompanied by thirty officers and a hundred veterans selected by them. Because Zhang was accurate with the news, the other Marine officers and soldiers did not know why they were in such a hurry to leave.

The second attack of the Japanese still did not come. With Zhang Zhun sitting on Sado Island, the officers and men of the Marine Corps, as well as the officers and men of the artillery battalion, all felt very calm. In order to relax their mood, Zhang Zhun also played football, volleyball, and basketball with him every day, and on the surface, he was indeed happy.

Three days later, Wang Shide quietly came to report: "My lord, there is a Japanese envoy asking to see you. ”

Zhang Zhun was a little surprised and said, "Japanese? ”

What is the purpose of the arrival of the Japanese at this time?

Wang Shide explained in detail that the Japanese envoy who came to Sado Island was from Dewa Province and was called Miyamoto Shoichi. Oddly enough, he arrived alone. He had nothing else on him of note other than a katana. Although he refused to reveal his true identity and insisted on negotiating with Zhang Zhun in person, the fact that he started from Dewa Country already explained everything.

The two countries of Dewa and Mutsu have never been very interested in the Tokugawa shogunate. It can be said that these two daimyo are the most prominent royalists, and their relationship with the royal family has always been quite close. It is estimated that the news of Ryota Maeda's defeat on Sado Island, they also knew. At this time, someone from Dewa Country has arrived, which is really interesting!

As mentioned earlier, there has never been a shortage of traitors in the Ming Kingdom, and there has never been a shortage of leading parties in the Japanese. Since the Tang Dynasty sent envoys, there have been a large number of Japanese, who have been changing tricks to please the Central Plains Dynasty. Quite a few Japanese, even settled in the Central Plains, never to go back. These people, standing in the corner of Japan, are typical of the leading party. This mysterious Miyamoto Shoichi is probably also a leading party.

"Let him in."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly.

Soon, Miyamoto Shoichi was brought to Zhang Zhun. It was a tall Japanese man with a burly build and thick limbs. For the Han people, there is nothing special about such a body shape. But for the Japanese, it is very rare.

Seeing this Miyamoto Shoichi, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but think of Miyamoto Musashi, the most famous swordsman in Japan. Vaguely, it seems that Miyamoto Musashi is also a person of this era. In the names of the two people, there are two words Miyamoto, is it a little related?

"The governor of the Ming Kingdom is above, and the contemptible people are polite."

Miyamoto said respectfully.

After meeting Zhang Zhun, all the etiquette he used was Han Chinese, and he also spoke Chinese fluently. Zhang Zhungao suspects that this Miyamoto Shoichi is very likely to have stayed in the Central Plains for a while. For a swordsman who likes to wander around, it is not a difficult task.

"You, do you have anything to do with Miyamoto Musashi?"

Zhang Zhun asked curiously.

"Miyamoto Musashi is an uncle."

Miyamoto Shoichi lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Zhun stared at the other party suspiciously.

Miyamoto Musashi is actually Miyamoto Shoichi's uncle?

In this way, this Miyamoto Shoichi is also a very talented guy? However, in the information collected by the Tiger Army, it seems that the name of Miyamoto Shoichi is not mentioned! It is estimated that this guy should also be a swordsman with wandering whereabouts, and he was not caught by the intelligence department of the Tiger Army. Come to think of it, the current situation is so complicated, who dares to come to Sado Island alone, except for the daring swordsman of the artist?

"You wait, you say, where is your uncle, at the moment?"

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked slowly.

Miyamoto Musashi, this guy, is still very promising. In Japan, his prestige is quite high. There are quite a few people who respect Miyamoto Musashi. In some things, Miyamoto Musashi was able to play a big role. In some areas, he was even seen as an angel of God. Of course, there are many people who hate Miyamoto Musashi. For example, Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The grievances between Tokugawa Iemitsu and Miyamoto Musashi are only afraid that I have to write a book to explain them in detail. It is obviously biased to describe it in a few words. However, the general course of events can still be briefly described - Miyamoto Musashi killed a person, and this person happened to be Tokugawa Iemitsu's henchman. It is rumored that he was a man that Tokugawa Iemitsu liked.

Later studies have shown that before he met Awan, Tokugawa Ieko didn't like women and had no feelings for women at all. The man he liked was killed by the theft of Miyamoto Musashi, and of course Tokugawa Iemitsu refused to give up.

"Lord Qiyu, Uncle is currently cultivating in Mutsu Country."

Miyamoto said respectfully.

"Oh!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, as if he understood a little.

Like many swordsmen, Miyamoto Musashi also has a strong sense of loyalty. Miyamoto Musashi has always believed that the Japanese imperial family is orthodox, and it is very inappropriate for the Tokugawa shogunate to elevate the imperial family like this, and the Tokugawa shogunate should return power to the emperor.

Miyamoto Musashi shot and killed Tokugawa Iemitsu's henchmen, not necessarily because of the failure of the duel. How could such a clever swordsman as he miss easily? The real reason is probably because of the Tokugawa shogunate. If the opponent and Tokugawa Iemitsu are not so close, it is estimated that Miyamoto Musashi will not "miss".

Now, Miyamoto Musashi is refining in Mutsu Country, which is equivalent to indirectly adding some weight to Yu Country and Mutsu Country. If the Tokugawa shogunate wanted to make a move against these two daimyos, it had to take into account the influence of Miyamoto Musashi. Obviously, this is something that makes Tokugawa Iemitsu feel very uncomfortable. It is estimated that behind the scenes, Tokugawa Iemitsu hated Miyamoto Musashi so much.
