Lord of Ming Dynasty

Feng Quan of Kochi County seems to have not made progress for a long time, passively defending, but he knows that there are elite soldiers everywhere. Feng Quan has trained all the militiamen in his hands into elite soldiers through this battle.

The third prince also attacked him this time, and obtained [-] to [-] militia servants, [-] militia troops, and the militiamen have been trained to become elite regular army troops. The elite regular army troops have reached [-] soldiers and horses, an increase of [-] soldiers horse.

This is not a matter. The thing is that the population of Shikoku Island has decreased by 210 million, lost half of the land in Kochi Prefecture, a decrease of 80, and lost Ehime Prefecture, a decrease of 100 million. The previous battles with Feng Quan 20 young and strong were killed and wounded, Kong Youxing sent troops to attack, and killed another [-] newly gathered soldiers and horses. At present, [-] to [-] remnants and defeated generals have been gathered. He put them here in Xiangchuan County to reorganize. After reorganization, this is the guard force here in Xiangchuan County.

Now the population of his territory is only 160 million, and the number of refugees who have escaped from the disaster is only 170 million. These young and strong people have been transferred away to form more than 20 soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to every ten people. One and a half of them are soldiers, and it can be said that including the old and the weak, the combat power of his troops is only [-] to [-], how can he fight Feng Quan?

Do you really want to accept the Japanese?

I accepted some Japanese soldiers and horses before, but they were useless, they were all cannon fodder, and they couldn't break through the enemy's defense line even if they were all dead. That kind of defense line is too evil.

Rows of guns, cannons, horses, bows and arrows came like splashing water, and the assault troops began to lose five miles away. The troops with strong combat effectiveness and high morale were able to grit their teeth and insist on rushing forward. The Japanese cannon fodder was bombarded Suddenly, after rushing for two miles, he collapsed and ran back. The enemy shells chased after him. Although the solid shells did not do much damage, they were also frightening. Time, there is no way to pull it up and fight again.

It’s not as good as the Japanese combat militia they trained. These people are a little poorer. They have food to rely on. The charge is guaranteed. I can rush to the front of the enemy's trenches, jump into the trenches and fight with the enemy. The first time, the second time, and the third time, I fought for a week. I broke through the enemy's first line of defense three or four times in total, and even hit the first line The second line of defense, it can be said that there is still a fight.

The Japanese cannon fodder was useless, and in the end they could only let their own people charge. Those Japanese cannon fodder could only help transport ammunition and supplies in the rear, and could not face the battle at all.

As an ally, they can't put the supervising team behind the Japanese cannon fodder. The Japanese will be unhappy. After all, they are helping them fight the soldiers of the Xinlu Mansion. The two families were enemies before. The Japanese are guarding against them deliberately consuming their own cannon fodder. .

What else can such a Japanese do besides eating, drinking and consuming food?

There is another consideration, if a large number of Japanese troops come here and win in the future, what will happen to his second prince on Shikoku Island?

Given the fact that the Japanese still have a population of 500 million and can mobilize millions of cannon fodder and hundreds of thousands of regular troops at any time, if they win the battle, will his second prince still endure humiliation and become a famous Japanese general?

It has to be said that the Han people are very flexible in terms of struggle, they think far and wide, and they are very comprehensive.

As the son of Hong Chengchou, who is good at strategy, he will naturally not go anywhere. He rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Let's talk about this first today, everyone. Let's discuss the current situation in another day. As for We are very grateful for the Japanese side sending troops to help us, but I haven't thought clearly about some problems, let's talk about it after I think clearly, see off the guests." He shouted to the servant.

The domestic servant immediately came in and bowed and stretched out his hand, "My lords, please." The Japanese daimyo general glanced at the second prince, stood up and bowed to the second prince, "Please think about it, Your Majesty the King, let us unite to deal with the Huaxia Army It is the best choice, if an agreement can be reached, Japan will help Hong Sang with 100 million tons of grain.”

The conditions cannot be unattractive, but the second prince knows that the 100 million dan of food is not easy to get. If the Japanese soldiers and horses are allowed in, then his Shikoku Island will be lost. When the Chinese army invades, he will also fail. The Japanese Occupation is also a failure, and he needs to weigh this issue.

Smiling, he said: "Okay, I will think about it. General, please be sure to hover around the four countries for a few more days. I will discuss with the general again when I think about it." Let's go, no more."

After Ike and Taim came out, they glanced at each other, and Ike said to Taim: "Your Excellency Taim, do you think it is necessary for the current Four Kingdoms to continue to cooperate?"

Taim walked in front very gentlemanly, looked down at his riding boots, and said slowly with a look of thinking: "According to the current fighting strength of the Xinlu Mansion and their new tactics, I think There is almost no possibility for the Shikoku to win. We didn't have to get involved with them. Now the Shikoku didn't even pay for the weapons and instructor training we supported them in the early stage. Therefore, I think there is no profit to be made here. It must be occupied by the Xinlu Mansion and become the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom, we may be affected if we stay here, I mean hurry up and go as far as we can on our ship."

Ike hurriedly said: "But our investment has not been recovered. If we just leave, then the money owed to us by the Four Kingdoms before will not have to be repaid?"

Tym laughed, "How about letting the Japanese pay the money?"

Ike was taken aback, what kind of logic is this?

How can the Japanese who are hostile to him pay for the money owed by the kings of the four countries?

Chapter 752 Betrayed Together

Let the Japanese pay the money owed by the second prince?

Ike didn't understand, so Taim smiled and said: "Yes, let them pay the money owed by our second prince, and then we sell the second prince and the others to the Japanese. Anyway, depending on the situation, the second prince and the others must not be able to hold on. There are too many, 20 is Xinlu Mansion, 15 is his third brother's army, and [-] is reinforcements from Xinlu Mansion, do you think there is any chance for them to come back?"

Ike looked a little sad. He knew that there was no possibility of a comeback. All fools know that the Huaxia Army is now the strongest force. They have beaten the Japanese to pieces before they use their own troops. If they landed, the Japanese Only perish.

I just don’t know why the Huaxia Army didn’t wipe out the Japanese cleanly and completely, but let Feng Quan of the Xinlu Mansion and the third prince of the Lu State do it. Are you calling?

It doesn't do them any favors, and as a businessman, he doesn't like to see a market disrupted.

Colonizing and enslaving them is the best option.

"Then what should we do? Cooperate with the Japanese? Those Japanese seem stubborn. They don't like to do business with us. If Lu State didn't attack them, they might push us to a small port. Then limit our trade, Taim, do you think Japan like this is good?"

As Taim walked, he watched the tense and busy four militiamen running around, carrying goods, and packing up some things. According to the signs, the second prince and the others were not optimistic that their forces could defeat the Xinlu Army, and they were doing a million-dollar battle. If he fails, he is ready to run away with his things, but he doesn't know where the second prince is going.

"The Japanese are still useful. At least we can recover our investment. The Japanese have gold mines and copper. They have no shortage of gold and silver. We must ask them for more gold and silver. They also have raw silk and tea. The Han merchants here bought them from Huaxia and the main island of Lu. We can ask them to bring all of these at once, and then we sell them all the cannons on our ship and promise them to bring more when they come next time. Guns and ammunition, and I don't think we need to get involved in their struggle this time, in my opinion, the Japanese can't win, and soon the Xinlu Army will occupy this place, and then spread everywhere like a plague. The whole of Japan will fall."

While the two were discussing, the second prince was also discussing matters with his ministers. The little prince walked up and down anxiously, "Father, I see that the Dutch and the British are unreliable. According to reports from the spies who watched them, They are gathering the instructors who are in charge of training among our troops and withdrawing to Denios Island, where there are still two of their five-masted 450-ton warships hidden in the bay. If we want to run, we must seize that Two warships, otherwise we have no way to leave here."

Yan Chenglian hurriedly asked, "Little Prince, are you sure about this?"

The little prince said: "Definitely, if we want to leave, we must capture those two warships. In the inner bay, we still have two 2000-ton Dafu ships, so four warships can accommodate about [-] people, enough We can take away our cronies and family members."

The second prince frowned and said, "Where are we going?"

The little prince's eyes were firm, "Go to Nanyang, I know that there are us Han people in many places in Nanyang. Although many people have already grown up, many people still retain the traditions of their ancestors, so it is easier to accept us."

Prime Minister Yan said worriedly: "But our population is too large. There are at least 1 people here, and there are at least 5 Han Chinese scattered in four counties. If we leave them, will they hate us?"

The little prince laughed and said: "If the Japanese came, they might be very miserable, but the new Lu army is our Han army, they won't do anything to these Han people, but the Japanese people will worry about their fate , I heard that the King of Huaxia was going to wipe them all out. According to a Han general in Xinlu Mansion who was captured, many of these Japanese people were thrown to the place where prisoners were exiled in Qiongzhou to open up wasteland and mine. Such a difficult environment, almost Millions of people go in, and 10 people will be alive in the end.

Moreover, I heard an uncertain news that Zheng Chenggong was going to buy these Japanese people as slaves to build his Australia.A vast, uninhabited island. "

"Oh, a big island, do you think we can go there too?" the second prince asked.

The little prince said very sadly: "No, father, don't say Zheng Chenggong accepts us or not, just say accept us, do we know how to get there? We don't know the route, I heard that even the Thai and Western people don't know, It is very far away to go, and it takes at least half a year to get there. In the boundless sea, we have no big ships and no guides. We will starve to death, die of thirst, and be swallowed by the waves.

We know how to go to Nanyang, I have been there, and our navy officers and soldiers have also been there, don’t even think about going to Australia,”

Prime Minister Yan said worriedly: "Where is the place where the Dutch are? Will they accommodate us when we go? Besides, we still have to rob their warships. It's not easy to operate. If you miss one, go back and report to us. Even if we went, we would still be hostile to them, and if 20 of us couldn’t take them away, could 2000 of us beat them?”

The little prince sneered, "We can't beat them, but Nanyang is big. Let's go to the Spaniard's place. Luzon knows it, Manila knows it. Let's go there. Let's occupy a territory on the nearby islands first, and slowly gather some Han Chinese, I heard that there are many Han Chinese villages. Although the Spaniards are fierce, they are not as aggressive as the Dutch or the British. Let's go to Luzon Island.

When the development is complete, we will grab the Dutch's territory nearby instead of developing in Manila, let the Spaniards support us, and we will fight the Dutch. In Europe, the British are bigger and more aggressive than the Dutch. But in our east, the British are not as powerful as the Dutch or the Spaniards. If the Chinese Army didn't beat them away, they might not be as good as Portugal People, however, where they go further west, which is called India, their strength exceeds that of the Dutch, and where is their territory. "

The second prince looked at the little prince talking endlessly, and was very satisfied. This son is promising, and it seems that he will be relied on to lead his branch of the family in the future.

As for his eldest brother, he didn't think about it anymore, let him and the third brother fight to the death to fight for the tiny Ryukyu Kingdom.

Looking to the south again, Japan, it would be great if I could occupy it, but my choice was wrong, the Japanese are powerful, I can't do anything to them for a while, if there are millions of Han people here, if there are Feng Quan and the others If there are more military generals in the arsenal, he may still fight the Japanese. If he does not join forces with the Japanese to fight the Xinlu Mansion, maybe the Xinlu Mansion is now trying to find a way to fight the Japanese and will not provoke him for the time being.

It's too late to say anything, damn foreign devils, they are not instigating, can I be confused?

Chapter 753 Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Brightness

The 20 militiamen of the four countries who came to attack the third prince's landing troops were defeated, and the Xinlu Army took Ehime County. At the same time, they joined forces with the third prince's troops at the border of Kagawa County. Feng Quan's Xinlu Army joined forces, attacked all the way, and soon advanced to Kochi County. The 26 troops in Kochi County fled one after another, and fled to Denios Island County to stabilize their position.

So far, the Four Kingdoms have lost half of their territory, leaving 20 soldiers and horses left.

The 20 troops, like a frightened bird, were completely demoralized and distributed tremblingly around Xiangchuan County and Denis County. Soldiers and horses fully control most of Shikoku Island.

The soldiers and horses in Xiangchuan County are only [-] to [-], and they are also soldiers and horses gathered from defeated troops.

On the same day, the second prince and the little prince left Xiangchuan County and brought his personal guards back to the county town of Denios Island to gather troops and calm people down. At the same time, they planned how to attack the people who had gathered at the pier in the inner bay of Denios Island. The Dutch and British ships seized the ships and retreated with their cronies and families.

Prime Minister Yan was distressed in Xiangchuan County, because this time the second prince did not mention that he should follow him, nor did he ask him to give up Xiangchuan County, and the little prince did not propose to take him to Nanyang. What should I do?

Prime Minister Yan walked around with his hands behind his back, and he was surrounded by only his servants and guards. Two thousand soldiers and horses could not even defend the city. If it was the era of cold weapons, then he could still guard a small county like the Japanese, but now It's cannons. In the musket era, this small county town made by Japan is not even a bunker in the Daming frontier, at most it can be regarded as the house of a big landlord.
