The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 584 Determination 1 Battle

Jiang Fan has 180,000 soldiers and civilians, which is many times more than the 20,000 Hebrew people. The Hebrew people can control half of the Japanese island with only 20,000 people, let alone the 180,000 people under his command.

Besides, when Qing Yucheng comes again, he will bring another 200,000 or 300,000 Dayan people with him, and the entire Wo Island will be completely occupied.

Just as Jiang Fan was extending towards the Wo Island with Changqu as the center, in Takayama Castle, the capital of the Japanese in Takayama Prefecture, Emperor Kōsei and the chief person in charge of the Hebrew people in Japan had received the news that Changqu had been lost and all the Hebrew people had been killed.

He even received news that six other ports had been occupied by the suddenly appeared Dayan people, and several of their cities had also been occupied. The Dayan people were moving towards their capital step by step.

In less than two months, since Changqu was occupied, they have lost nearly half of the land they occupied.

Although the Dayan people only left 2,000 people to garrison each city, they still recruited 2,000 Japanese troops.

Because they gave a lot of money, and even though the people of Dayan were kind to the Japanese people and did not do anything that was harmful to the world, they lived in peace with the Japanese people, helped them grow food, arranged jobs for them, and so on.

Therefore, no one in the Japanese population in the areas occupied by the Yan people resisted. Even those who smoked opium were only forced to quit.

As long as some hooligans wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, after they were killed, everyone else would behave themselves, and as for those hooligans who were killed, the Japanese people even applauded.

Now, seeing that they are about to attack Kyoto, Emperor Kōsei and the Supreme Governor of the Hebrew people are getting anxious!

The Hebrew governor did not expect that the people of Dayan would be so powerful. The musketeers and artillery that he was so proud of had no room for resistance in front of the people of Dayan.

"Governor Netani, what should we do now? The people from Dayan are about to attack us?" Emperor Guangcheng looked at the Hebrew governor in front of him and said anxiously.

He is a puppet supported by the other party. Although he has no real power and has to obey the man in front of him in everything, he still covets his current status and wealth.

He didn't want to be left with nothing in the end!

"Emperor, why are you so anxious? Although the people of Dayan are indeed powerful, we Hebrews are not bad either! Don't forget, although our weapons are not as good as theirs, if we have the weapons in our hands, coupled with the human wave tactics, are we still afraid that we can't beat them?"

Netani snorted coldly and said calmly: "Gather the troops immediately and set up a defense line outside Gaoshan City. I will issue weapons to your people. As long as you are not afraid of death, no matter how many people they come, they will die! We must kill them all!"

Now he has lost the chance to leave and can only think about destroying the Dayan people. Otherwise, it will be impossible for him to leave the Japanese island.

The seven ports under his control were now all occupied by the Dayan people. He was left without a single ship, so he had no choice but to decide to give it his all.

Hearing his words, the anxious Emperor Guangcheng calmed down and nodded. Now, this was the only way. He still had 300,000 troops.

He decided to recruit another 100,000 troops, a total of 400,000, and equip them with Hebrew weapons. He did not believe that he could not defeat the people of Dayan.

Then he issued an order to conscript soldiers.

Netani left the palace where the Emperor was, accompanied by his confidant, and the two talked as they walked.

"Sir, we only have 100,000 rope guns and not enough ammunition. I'm afraid we have no chance of winning this battle!" Netani's confidant said solemnly.

"Are the factories in various places unable to keep up with production? If not, let them work overtime. Also, capture more laborers. If anyone resists, we will kill him!"

When Netani heard this, a look of anger welled up in her eyes, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

The rope-pulling guns he produced were originally prepared for the invasion of China. He even opened many gunpowder workshops and gun-making workshops here.

It's a pity that their productivity couldn't keep up, or in other words, at the beginning he just wanted to develop slowly and didn't increase the intensity.

But who knew that the people from Dayan would suddenly appear and catch him off guard. Now it is too late to speed up production.

"But even if we increase production, the people of Dayan are much stronger than us, and their weapons are more advanced than ours! I'm afraid we have no chance of winning this battle." The confidant continued solemnly.

At this point, he said with a hint of regret: "Back then, we got gunpowder from the Chinese, but we didn't steal advanced weapons technology. The Chinese are too smart and their control is too strict, otherwise... I'm afraid we wouldn't be as afraid of them as we are now!"

They learned their gunpowder technology from the Chinese people's fireworks. They analyzed the ingredients and after several months of research, they finally developed black gunpowder.

They even used gunpowder and developed related weapons. This was after they heard about muskets from the Chinese and observed their appearance, which led to the emergence of more advanced rope-pulling guns.

They thought that the technological level of their weapons had surpassed that of Dayan, but they never expected that while he was developing, Dayan was also developing, and even developing faster.

The terrifying lethality of the gun simply made them despair. Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, they knew how powerful it was from the descriptions of those who had escaped.

He couldn't understand why the Chinese were so smart and could develop more powerful weapons in such a short period of time.

He didn't even know the difference between this weapon and theirs. It's not that they haven't thought about developing more powerful weapons, but it's just been a short time since they got gunpowder. It still takes time to develop more powerful weapons.

"Humph... So what if we don't have enough weapons? Don't we still have cannon fodder? Let these Japanese charge into battle for us. Maybe we can even repel and destroy the Great Yan people who occupy the Japanese island. If we can grab the weapons in their hands, we can research even more powerful weapons!"

Netani smiled coldly, with anticipation in his eyes. Although this battle seemed dangerous, it was also full of opportunities. If only it could turn out as he expected.

Even if they cannot completely wipe out the Dayan people, they can still inflict heavy damage on them and stop them from expanding further. If they can grab some of their weapons, they can then research weapons to deal with the Dayan people!

Upon hearing this, the confidant nodded, and under Netani's instructions, he quickly arranged the production of gunpowder.

Netani looked into the distance, her eyes flickering, a surge of excitement in her eyes, and of course, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.
