The wharf is huge, docked with large and small fortune boats, dense cargo and people flow on the ship like that, and then the flag waved, in the long horn sound, one by one fortune ships set sail and anchored, heading towards the open sea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info ships are endless, and the sea surface of this area is covered with sail shadows.

And behind Duoduo and Abatai, many Qing generals stood solemnly, watching all this with greedy and joyful eyes.

At this time, it was the second time that the Qing army landed in Japan.

After Dolgon plotted to attack Japan last year, after a long period of preparation, in April this year, the first batch of about 8,000 troops of the Banner Coalition landed in Japan, and retreated in May after successfully exploring the country's reality. Then, avoiding the typhoon-prone seasons of June and July, it made landfall in Japan again in August.

This time, their strength increased to 20,000, and among the banners of the Qing State, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Outer Domains of Mongolia all sent troops, as well as a lot of Eight Banners Korean soldiers, all of which were led by the Gushan Ezhen and Belle Bezi of each banner.

And their harvest is also huge, in less than a month, they have captured more than 100,000 people, and countless gold, silver, and wealth.

Looking at the tide of human and material resources gathered below, Duoduo's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "This country of Japan is really fat, it should have come here to attack and plunder a long time ago." ”

Behind him, the Karaqin Left Wing Banner Zasak Gelmaba stammered: "What the general said is extremely true, the wealth of Japan is very different from the ruin of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Dodor laughed.

When the Qing army invaded Japan for the second time, Duoduo was appointed as the general of Yangwei, and Abatai was the general of the expedition to the east, with Abatai as the chief and Duoduo as the deputy.

Dorgon was called the Emperor. Although he still pursues the same suppression policy as Huang Taiji, he also knows his talents, so he is mainly based on Abatai militarily, but Duoduo is also the general of this expedition, and his status is extremely noble.

Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japan has been generally peaceful. So the population is growing rapidly, and at this time it is estimated that the population of the country has exceeded 30 million, which is very staggering for a small island country.

Therefore, it was very easy for the Qing army to attack and plunder in all directions, and it was very easy to capture the population, because the population was too dense. It's not like when they attacked the Ming Dynasty, because of the troubled times, they were often uninhabited for thousands of miles, and they wanted to capture the population. It usually takes thousands of miles.

Moreover, because of social stability, the Japanese people have also accumulated a lot of wealth. What's even better is that they implement a fiefdom system here, and there are more than 200 feudal lords and daimyo in a small Japanese country, such as the daimyo of the clan, the daimyo of the genealogy, and the daimyo of the outside.

Therefore, they do their own thing, it is difficult to unify government decrees, and when facing foreign enemies, they also have different people's hearts.

And their force ......

The feudal lords here practiced the Ishitaka system. According to the reward of the sentry scouts, they can only raise thirty or forty samurai for 10,000 stones. Or two or three hundred ashigaru miscellaneous soldiers, or seventy or eighty iron gunners. And there are many feudal lords below 100,000 stone here, and they are simply powerless to resist the attack of the Qing army.

What makes people happy and surprised is that the castle here is completely different from the castle of the Ming Kingdom in the Central Plains, except for the castle where the feudal lord and his retainers lived, the common people actually lived in the outer place called the castle town. There is no protection of the walls at all. Or just a low wall, just climb into it.

Dodor admits that some of the feudal lords lived in the castles were still very strong, but why did he bother to attack them? His goal is to capture the population and materials, and directly capture the people of the castle town, and take away their wealth?

The feudal lords watched their people go captive. Or you can only go out of the city to fight. This is in the hands of Duoduo, in the field battle, who will the elite and heavily armored Qing soldiers be afraid of? Often, those daimyo and samurai who went out of the city to fight were wiped out!

After a few times, those feudal lords also learned to be obedient, and as soon as the Qing army came, they all closed the city and watched the Qing captives wreak havoc outside.

Some feudal lords also tried to evacuate the townspeople into the castle, but how many people were crammed into the castle? Most of them still fell into the clutches of the Qing army.

The Eight Banners Han Army inlaid with the Yellow Flag Gushan Zhenma Guangyuan said: "Are these Japanese people stupid? There are cities without walls, how to prevent foreign enemies? I heard that Hongyi Castle is also like the Wa Kingdom, the lord lives in the castle, and the people live outside...... Dward once said that the castles of the lords of their country were extremely strong, often built in the mountains, and were extremely difficult to attack, but could survive many years without falling. How else does Weichen want to attack, at the moment, it seems that as long as the people are taken away, those lords can only be bare-pole lords, starving to death, and there is no need to attack their castle at all! ”

There was confusion in his tone, and there was flattering in his eyes when he looked at Duoduo.

After the Battle of Songjin, the Eight Banners Han Army lost 20,000 people, and also lost all the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion. After Dolgon ascended the throne, and rebuilt the Eight Banners Han Army, after more than a year of training, it recovered some vitality, and now the Han Army Banner has a total of 10,000 birds, this time to conquer Japan, Ma Guangyuan personally led 3,000 soldiers to participate in the war.

He intended to show himself and curry favor with Dordor in everything.

Duoduo sneered, "Sturdy? If the Hongyi castles are like the cities of the Japanese state, what will they do to attack their cities, you must know that when Taizu was there, there was a saying that the fortified city could not be entered. And we took away all their people from the outside, and saw that they would not come out. If you don't come out, all the people under your rule have been robbed, is the lord still called the lord? If they go out of the city to fight, what good will it do if the castle is built, no matter how strong it is? ”

Behind him, all the banners were solid, and Beile Beizi praised the ability of General Weida, and his tactical strategy was really a sharp weapon against a pure military fortress like the Ruo Wei people.

The Karaqin right-wing banner Zasakgulus Siqibu said puzzledly: "The Japanese are so vulnerable, I don't know why the Great Yuan lost the second expedition?" ”

Duoduo snorted disdainfully: "How does Da Yuan compare to my Da Qing?" ”

Because of the defeat of the Mengyuan expedition against the Japanese State back then, every time the parties who were interested in the Japanese conquest were suspicious, Dolgon was also worried at that time, especially asked Abatai, Ning Wan and others to carefully understand the reasons for the failure of the Mengyuan, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Qing Dynasty.

At first, it was generally believed that it was due to a hurricane, and the legend of kamikaze was widely spread among Japanese folklore, but after Abatai's investigation believed that it was because of the warship, the quality of the warship was very poor due to the negative work of the Koreans at that time, and this statement was agreed by the Qing Dynasty, so the warship to attack Japan was very strict.

However, after the invasion of Japan, Duoduo had a new view, which he believed was due to the poor fighting power of the Mongols.

According to the history books, the Mongol Yuan conquered Japan a total of twice, the first time the Japanese called the "Battle of Wenyong", the Yuan army of 25,000 people, the Mongols and the Goryeo accounted for half of each, they landed and attacked in three ways, one main force, two ways to respond.

However, in just one month, under the fierce resistance of the Japanese people, the Yuan army had to retreat back to China due to heavy casualties. And this time, the Yuan army did not encounter a hurricane from beginning to end, and there were no problems in the war.

The second time was even worse, Meng Yuan mobilized an army of 200,000, and the ratio of Inner Mongolians to Goryeo reached half, but the fierce battle lasted for two months, and the army suffered huge losses, but it could not even break through a stone wall temporarily built by the Japanese people on the seaside.

Until the food, grass and arrows ran out, the army's losses exceeded 30%, and it still could not break through the stone wall, and the Yuan army had to plan to retreat.

However, this time they were about to flee temporarily, when a violent hurricane suddenly blew on the sea, and the storm lasted for four days, destroying their fleet, and some of the troops left on the shore had no way to escape, and finally the whole army was destroyed.

In other words, the failure of the Mengyuan expedition to Japan actually had nothing to do with the hurricane or the quality of the warships, if their combat power was strong enough, the first conquest of Japan would have been successful, and there was no need to work hard to mobilize the people for the second time.

If they were strong enough, they would not have conquered Japan for the second time, and they would not have been able to break through even a stone wall temporarily built by the Japanese people on the coast for two months.

It took more than two months for the 200,000 troops to encounter a hurricane after landing, and if they were able to break through the stone wall during this time, gain a foothold, and even successfully occupy the whole of Japan, what did it matter if the hurricane came?

Therefore, the failure of the Mongol Yuan expedition to Japan has little to do with the "kamikaze" spread in Japan, and it has little to do with the quality of the ship, it is purely a problem with the combat strength of the Mongols, just as they have now become vassals of the Great Qing State, and it is also a problem of combat effectiveness.

The Japanese people hyped up the kamikaze, presumably a strategy, so that the Yuan people were afraid from then on, and cut off the possibility of their third and fourth conquests, and sure enough, Kublai Khan had no follow-up, obviously afraid of the sea, and the psychological warfare of the Japanese people was successful.

Of course, Duoduo thought so, but he wouldn't say it in front of those Mongols, he turned to Abatai, who had been silent beside him, and said in a loud voice: "Seventh brother, Nagasaki is nearby, and the wealth and population are piled up, and it is the richest place in Kyushu, the Japanese kingdom, why have you kept preventing the army from plundering?" ”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, and some of the belles behind him were also faintly looking, obviously they were also dissatisfied in their hearts.

Abatai's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "General Yangwei, the emperor entrusted me with the matter of the expedition to the sun, and I have all kinds of actions, so I naturally have my reasons." ”

Abatai replied to Duoduo without being salty, but he still explained: "The matter of the Wa Kingdom is ...... After the Battle of Sekigahara, the southwestern feudal domains were superficially submissive, but they remained hostile to the shogunate. At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun of the Wa Kingdom, was strict in his laws, and he often reduced the feudal titles of daimyo and minor daimyos, and many feudal lords in the southwestern feudal domains were eliminated. And because of the matter of the Chezhidan disciples, the two sides became fire and water. Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty attacked and plundered the Japanese kingdom, the Tokugawa shogunate faced all kinds of things in the open, but privately watched by the soldiers. At this time, Japan pursued a policy of seclusion, Nagasaki was the only port, and it was also a direct territory of the shogunate, and we would like to see it come to fruition when we attacked the southwestern feudal domains, but if we attacked Nagasaki, ......"

He said: "This is not a trivial place, not only the Tokugawa shogunate's great financial and tax land, but also involves many fleets of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Seeing that Duoduo didn't think so, Abatai said: "The sentinel has come to report that the powerful feudal clans of the Japanese kingdom, such as the Chosu Domain, the Satsuma Domain, the Saga Domain, the Tosa Domain, and the Mito Domain, have formed a coalition army, and they will be pressing on our army in a few days. If I can defeat them and organize them into the Eight Banners of Japan, we can attack Nagasaki! (To be continued.) )
