Beiyang new warlord

"General!"

Startled, Su Changmei and the others stood up nervously and were about to run over, but Mao Jue swung his bloody hand violently, forcing them to sit back.

"I didn't emphasize military discipline. It's my fault as the commander. I will punish myself here! But this old man also used blood to establish the military regulations. He disobeyed military orders, went to battle without authorization, disrupted the formation, and those who escaped, no matter who they are! Cut!"

"The last will obey!"

Being ruthless to oneself is really ruthless, this is for real, watching the blood dripping down, more than [-] generals all clasped their fists tremblingly, even the drunkard Kong Youde dared not make an exception.

After dealing with this matter, Mao Jue looked angrily at Liu Chong who was kneeling in the middle, and snorted coldly.

"This time, the general also made mistakes, so I will give you a chance to pay off your merits. Today, because of you, 62 brothers were killed or injured. In the next battle, you will kill 62 Japanese pirates for me, and use your head to lead the army to pay for it." 62, if you can't cut it down, you will die on the battlefield, don't come back to see me!"

"Sin shall obey!"

Liu Chong was relieved by this treatment. Although it was severe, it was not impossible for him.

After completing the most important disposal, Mao Jue waved his sleeves with a straight face.

"Let's all go down! All the troops set up camp and rest as soon as possible. Tomorrow, Ben will cross the sea and land to capture the city in front of him!"

"The last will obey!"

Japan is a typical feudal system, with layers of feudalism, from the shogun to the daimyo below, retainers, samurai, and farmers, with clear barriers, so most of the neighboring countries, like the West, built castles on high places to highlight the daimyo Its authority is to suppress the people, and it is also a military defense function. This Iki Mountain Pavilion is no exception. Although the tower is not big, it is also the tallest building on Iki Island. Standing here, with a large telescope, you can vaguely see the opposite bank The main island of Kyushu Island.

A bay embraces a huge port city. It is obvious that the city has become turbulent tonight. Lanterns and flames are dimly lit on the streets, shuttling non-stop. On the shore, four Western gunboats and those Guan ships that have fled back are wandering in the harbor. with.

Even if Mao Jue missed the calculation today, he forgot his goal, Nagasaki Port, the largest port in Japan, was also the trading place of the Dutch East India Company.

It is not without reason that Japan is closed to the outside world, but the Netherlands is the only country left to open a port to trade with it. On the one hand, the Netherlands has indeed brought wealth to the shogunate, as well as advanced weapons such as guns and artillery. The Indian company is also obedient, does not spread Catholicism, does not mix in the domestic politics of the Wa country, and brings information about Southeast Asia to the Wa country.

Even during the Shimabara Rebellion, which relied on the Catholic uprising, instead of extending a hand to their fellow believers, these believers in God sent gunboats to bombard Shimabara Castle, standing with the Shinto pagans.

Then it is not surprising that these Dutch red-haired devils took action when Nagasaki, the only window for their trade, encountered war.

Fortunately, things have not gotten out of hand. Even if there are four Western gunboats, they are just merchant ships, similar to the Black Pearl in Pirates of the Caribbean. It is only more than 40 meters long. One piece, each ship has no more than 32 guns, and only the lower deck has heavy guns, especially now that Mao Jue's gun mounts are more advanced than those of Western warships. In terms of firepower, they are no match.

However, in Mao Jue's plan, the plan of annihilating the Japanese navy and directly landing from the port to occupy Nagasaki was declared bankrupt. He had to find a way to throw the army ashore, and then find another way to attack the city.

Lying in front of the binoculars, staring at the Nagasaki Port in the night, Mao Jue's pupils seemed to be faintly red.

This fight against Japan was not Mao Jue's whim and hotheadedness. Indeed, there was an element of hatred from later generations, but the bigger source was the current environment, especially after experiencing the Battle of Daling River.

Mao Jue no longer wanted to entrust his life to those layman idiots. He escaped the Dalinghe battle by chance. What about the next Songjin battle?There is also the battle of the King of Qin when the Qing army entered the pass five times, and the battle of corruption to suppress the Peng army. Mao Jue is not a loyal minister by the standards of this era. Emperor Chongzhen risked his life.

If there is a reason to involve Dongjiang Town in Lee's North Korea?

It seems to be a good excuse to go to war with the Wa country.

Moreover, the current Dongjiang is far from being an opponent of Jiannu. If he wants to survive Huang Taiji's extinction-like attack, he must develop and strengthen himself. Yuan Chonghuan wanted to seize Dongjiang at the beginning because he wanted to trade with North Korea to earn military pay. But the convenience that Dongjiang has now is far from enough for Mao Jue.Land, population, weapons, he lacks everything!

Naihe looked around, to the west is Hou Jin, who can't be provoked for the time being, and can't be beaten at the moment, to the east is Li Dynasty, which belongs to the ally relationship and can't be moved, to the south is Daming, if you try to fight, then it seems that only Wa country can become As a stepping stone, Mao Jue didn't feel burdened by drawing flesh and blood from Japan to strengthen himself.

As for whether it will provoke another war between the Li Dynasty and the Japanese country, and whether the Japanese people in the cup can attack the peninsula to burn, kill and plunder again, Mao Jue can't take care of it. He is a person who is dying of thirst in the desert. Where else? Do you want to pass the last bottle of water in your hand to others?

So he is determined to win Nagasaki City in front of him! Whether it is to start a war, or for the population and children, money and materials.

"Don't think about it, the army will be waiting for you to command tomorrow, I made some porridge for you, drink it while it's hot, and go to bed early!"

Just when Mao Jue was fascinated by watching, a soft exchange suddenly sounded from behind. Looking back, it was actually Adelaina. The porridge also exuded a smell of paste. It seems that the window of cooking, God really shuts this talented girl tightly.

But before the girl became angry, she stopped sniffling, stretched her hand around her waist, and finally turned her head back, grabbed the Nagasaki city that was still noisy in the night with her fists, and immediately embraced Adelaine. , Mao Jue entered the castle tower without looking back

Chapter 145. Courtesy before soldiers?Bully the soft and fear the hard!

It is indeed cruel to base one's own survival on the destruction of others. Unfortunately, this is the case in the world of this era. The rise of the West and the Netherlands stepped on Spain, and the rise of Western powers trampled on the Germans in the 30 Years War. On the bones of the citizens of the state.Those who were closer, Man Qing had to step on his own corpse if he wanted to rise up, so Mao Jue didn't mind dragging two backs before he was trampled down.

Early the next morning, once again, following the leapfrog tactics of the US military in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, the Ming army then launched an march to the opposite shore of Kyushu Island.

There are Hongyi cannons of Dutch merchant ships guarding the port. It is impossible to attack Nagasaki directly from the sea, so you can only play conventional warfare. Iki Island is not an island. There are several smaller islands near the port of Nagasaki. reef, and even Nagasaki Port itself is located on a peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only one side is connected to Kyushu Island. When passing through these islands, the Ming Army fleet walked cautiously, for fear that two cannons would come out and attack them. After all, the three battleships were all taken by Mao Jue to look directly at the port of Nagasaki Port. Each of these Dongjiang ships had at most [-], [-] old bronze cannons, and the firepower was not too strong.

They were trembling along the way, but surprisingly, not to mention guns, they didn't even see a devil soldier, but there were a few small fishing villages, and the Japanese people in the villages were full of fear and huddled in a simple shack, peeping at the passing people. The warships of the Ming army and the warriors of the Ming Dynasty carrying bayonets on the warships, in this kind of watching, several regiments and the North Korean wooden house boats behind them smoothly circled to the back of the Nagasaki Peninsula.

Once you get ashore, you will be grandpa. Since you didn’t seize the opportunity, you can’t blame me! Those Li Chao’s local soldiers who came over were immediately treated as coolies. Even the Tieyi Corps was not idle. Time picked up the shovel, just one word, dig!

Compared with the entire Wa country, the Ming army is still a weak side after all. Even Mao Jue doesn't know how many defenders there are in Nagasaki. First dig out the fortifications, and even if there is any emergency, they won't be beaten caught off guard.

The combat effectiveness of the newly trained regiments is still unknown, but their ability to plan the ground is really first-class. I don’t know if they were refined by digging potatoes and planing sweet potatoes at home. It took more than an hour to arrive in Nagasaki. At the back of the peninsula, apart from the first regiment of the ancient military camp, the third regiment of Baima Mountain City is responsible for guarding. The rest of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers roll up their sleeves together. At noon, two trenches 200 meters long and [-] meter deep ring around the peninsula. A piece was cut at the end, like cutting a cake.

The one-and-a-half-ton cannon was also lifted off the ship by the gun mount, hung on the sampan with a temporarily installed boom, and slowly transported to the ditch by rowing. Five regiments and ten Hongyi cannons arrived soon. At twelve o'clock at noon, the three doors were pulled up and placed in a planing hole in the middle of the trench position. Three idiot-like gunners held the handle, and a group of soldiers moved the shells. It gave Mao Jue a lot of confidence.

Toss shrapnel like peas on the enemy's head first, and half the battle is won first.

The terrain of Nagasaki is very similar to a round theater, with a perfect moon shape of an excellent harbor. The arc-shaped coastline and several sheltered islands embrace the sheltered harbor, and behind the island, thousands of years of waves beat and pile up A ring-shaped hill was built, and the Japanese built a gable wall on the hill. This is the city defense of Nagasaki City. I watched the Ming army digging trenches a few hundred meters below the hill until almost twelve o'clock at noon. This city of Nagasaki had a little reaction, unlike a dull woman, Mao Jue was already sweating profusely in the morning, she didn't even hum, it was too boring.

A typical Japanese-style city gate, the earth slope-style gable is flat inside, and a wall of more than five meters is dug out from the outside. The gate of more than three meters is pushed open with a creak, and a samurai sword is worn on the waist. Half bald, bright moon takes the lead, a bunch of hair at the back of the head is combed in a funny way, and it is pouted forward. The face is also like the face of an old orange, with wrinkles and ravines. Feels like a toad.

The twenty young boys in black and black samurai kimonos in the back are not bad looking, although they are also in the lead, but their faces are oily and slippery.

Such a group of people were like mice, probing around Mao Jue's camp and sneaking around for a long time, but they didn't dare to come over until Liu Chong got impatient and rushed out with more than a dozen cavalry, and then these "long men" rushed out. Saki Messenger" invited back.

Not to mention, as we get closer, this old guy actually makes Mao Jue feel very kind. Although he looks awkward, he is quite similar to a wretched old man in the island country *** that Mao Jue used to treasure. I still remember that At that time, this old guy who looked alike led their six brothers in a dormitory through countless restless nights, so Mao Jue, who originally planned to come up to show off, couldn't help showing a smile.

Fortunately, it wasn't him who was standing at home. Li Shanhai was wearing a black Li Chao official uniform with a gauze hat on his head, making his already dark old face even more black like a Baogong.

"WaliWaliWa, Hanon-Kushmida"

It can be regarded as a bit of a row. After setting up the cannon, Mao Jue's Chinese army tent was set up together. As soon as he stepped into the tent, the old orange was already chattering a lot of Japanese, listening to Mao Jue's forehead. The blue veins followed suit.

But here Adelaine showed Mao Jue another miraculous scene.

"General, he said that he is the guardian of Nagasaki under the command of the Tokugawa shogunate, Matsudaira Rangiku. He asked the general, the country of Wa and Li Chao have always lived in peace, why did they invade him for no reason?"

The old man's words made Mao Jue feel a little awakened. No wonder the landing went so smoothly today. The Japanese's bullying and fearful character was revealed here. The battle of Tsushima and the battle of Iki yesterday, the originally weak "Li Chaoshui" "Master" was as tough as a useless big stick, and killed the Japanese warrior who had been rampant. He was afraid of being beaten, and he didn't dare to fight the sea battle with Mao Jue, so he jumped out and acted like a gentleman.

If you can fight well, expect these wolf-faced animals to reason?Save it!

It's a pity that Mao Jue wasn't trying to reason this time. Li Shanhai acted like a mud bodhisattva and didn't say a word, while Mao Jue acted as his mother who spoke righteously.

"Your Excellency, I do not want to confront your country with swords and soldiers, but your country ignores our friendship with your country and even secretly dispatched Japanese pirates to rob Jeolla-do. Our army has come all the way here to hunt down Japanese pirates! Our army retreats, and these Japanese pirates must be brought to justice!"

I really don't know how Adelaine's language talent came about. She also spoke Japanese in a babbling manner. Don't say it, in her mouth, it sounds pretty good, but it made Mao Jue think about it in a distracted way. point.

After being stunned for a moment, the old man from the Japanese country was chattering Japanese again. This time, he was clearly agitated, and there was a little anger in his words.

"General, he said that he is the guardian of the Tokugawa family, and there can be no Japanese pirates in Nagasaki!"
