Those who stayed behind gave us surprises, and we naturally gave them great surprises.
The most exciting thing is naturally the more than 250,000 immigrants, including nearly 200,000 young men and women, which is enough to support the labor needs of our Three Kingdoms Village for more than three years, and can also bear the recruitment needs of at least 50,000 people.
Even if they do not undertake combat missions, then our former Three Kingdoms City's strong men can be withdrawn from all labor, manufacturing and other matters, and at least 30,000 more strong men can be mobilized to join the navy, cavalry, and infantry of the Three Kingdoms There are three departments.
There are also more than 1,500 craftsmen and their families. These craftsmen are outstanding craftsmen that we spent a lot of money to find. They cover almost all walks of life. Once they exert their strength, the Three Kingdoms City will change in a year. It's definitely not just a dream.
In addition, there are 10 million jins of fine rice, 10 million jins of palm oil, 7 million jins of crude iron, 3 million jins of spices, a million jins of barbarian tea, and thousands of varieties of various Seeds, various fungi, fur, ivory, herbal silver jewelry, etc., dazzled everyone even more. Father Lauren began to mumble his Spanish again and sighed excitedly.
The only thing is that not only did we sell out almost all the goods when we went out this time, we also owed more than one million taels of gold for the final payment of the ship lease. It can be said that we owed a huge debt for these people and things.
When I paid the balance with the gold and silver notes I kept at home, Haruko¡¯s mother looked at me resentfully for a long time, and Helen¡¯s mother angrily scolded me for buying craftsmen at too high a pricebut in the end she reluctantly gave it. Huge golden ticket.
In this regard, Dad Lauren said a few words for me. "I have seen those craftsmen, and they are all very capable people. If Xiaobao hadn't given him so much money, how could those famous names and nobles be willing to sell them? For the future development of our Three Kingdoms City, this money Even if it¡¯s expensive, it¡¯s worth it.¡±
¡°Well, these are all trivial matters to me.
When my friends took the bounty and went home to enjoy a happy life, my life was not so easy.
"Xiao Xun and Dai'er wanted to bring back such an extremely beautiful big sister to me. Although I don't understand something in my heart, I also know that she will live with us in the future, and I feel a little weird.
This is nothing. The problem is that Xiaoxun and Dai'er overheard that Shen Mengqiu, Mi Yanyan and Xiao Yiner have become my wives, and the two half-year-old little girls started to get into trouble. .
They don¡¯t know how to become my wife at this moment, but they know that my wife is much closer than my sister. Unknowingly, they fell behind, such a huge psychological gap. Why don't the two little girls feel dissatisfied?
Let¡¯s not talk about Xiaoxun¡¯s ubiquitous pranks. Even if she bothers me and my wives when we are having fun, it¡¯s nothing.
The key thing that I can't stand is that my little princess, Her Highness Dai'er, has to practice fighting with me every day. She comes back with bruises and swollen face every day, which makes even a careless person like Helen's mother unable to stand the harsh discipline. Hold your daughter and let her lead her friends to do more things. That's how I escaped disaster.
¡¡
Before they could continue to enjoy the beauty, the Fujiwara family¡¯s fleet, which had been repairing for five days, conveyed to us their desire to go home.
Naturally, we would not stop it, but the three fathers were also shady people, so they pretended to ask casually, "Do you, your highnesses, want to make some extra money? Oh, we know that you are honest and public-minded" In fact, it¡¯s not about making extra money. It¡¯s about earning a hard-earned salary for the overworked brothers"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of courtesy and thoughtfulness, so we have a very good relationship, and we have money to clear the way. After a day of discussion, a group of family elders finally agreed to the proposal of the three fathers - to help eradicate the navy of the Tsugaru family and the Namada family.
That¡¯s right!
We are going to use this external military power to destroy the Tsugaru family and the Hata family, the biggest threats to the Three Kingdoms City, in one fell swoop.
The major families, especially the elders of the Fujiwara family, have no interest in the disputes in the remote areas of the north, because in their eyes, this place is already a barbarian land. Who cares about the barbarians grabbing these less profitable territories? ?
We think more realistically: use a lot of gold and silver to kill the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces.
Although it is possible to spend too much gold and silver, it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a big problem. We are short of military power and soldiers, but we are not short of money!
Money is like a bastard, let¡¯s earn it after we spend it.
But such a good opportunity, ?Once it¡¯s over, it¡¯s really gone!
The major families have a total of more than 10,000 elite naval officers, plus our 40,000 officers and 70,000 strong men, a total of 120,000 people, driving our own 65 large ships, Fifty medium-sized ships should be more than enough to deal with the Namada Army and Tsugaru Army.
As for the ships of each major family, our young men are responsible for rowing and sailing them first. From the north to the south, it takes no effort to go smoothly with the wind and the current. During the battle, we can watch from a distance behind, which ensures that Their ships will not be harmed.
Although the absolute number of ships of our coalition is about the same as that of the Namada and Tsugaru coalition, after those wealthy family members moved the trebuchets and catapults from their ships to ours, the strength of those two parties The comparison is completely different. In fact, it is equivalent to our strength of at least a hundred large ships and a hundred medium warships.
On land, Yamazaki Xianyun took his last force, eight thousand cavalry, and formally launched defensive deployments in places such as Longchuan in the central part. If any enemy wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Three Kingdoms City, I believe that in that pioneering area, Yamazaki Xianyun's cavalry will let them know what rolling iron cavalry is.
For this decisive battle, we have used almost all available military power and strong men. If this fails, it will really be unreasonable.
Preparing all kinds of weapons and equipment, we headed south along the river, but it didn't go well at the beginning.
First of all, the 5,000 people of the Tsugaru and Namada coalition naval forces in Otaru City have long been emptied of the city, leaving only 20,000 to 30,000 remaining people here.
?The fleet then sailed all the way and arrived at Santan at the northwest end of the Tsugaru Strait, which is where we clashed with the Tsugaru and Namada troops last time. We actually found that there was not a single ship here.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? originally did not want to bother and want to go home, but we still persuaded them to go to the Oma Harbor on the Mutsu Peninsula northeast of the Tsugaru Strait.
If there are no ships from the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces in Oma, it can only mean that the two fleets have gone to sea to hide in trouble. The sea is vast and it is helpless to give up if they cannot be found.
Finally, the God of fate still favors us.
After spending a day crossing the Tsugaru Strait, we discovered all the remaining ships of the Tsugaru and Namada coalition at Oma Harbor in Mutsu.
Tsugaru Hikaru and Namada Noshimai are indeed veteran generals. They know how to focus their fists together and not give us a chance to defeat each other.
They also deployed scout ships of different sizes on the sea. They saw traces of our large fleet as early as thirty nautical miles away, and then their 180 or so warships rushed up.
Regardless of the number of their ships, there are actually only about forty large warships, sixty medium-sized ships, and eighty small ships.
"Compared to our coalition forces, which are all large and medium-sized warships, the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces are more tragic in their desolation.
Since the enemy has discovered our whereabouts, there is no such thing as a sneak attack. Under the orders of the commanders of the two armies, the battle finally began to get closer and started vigorously.
It was my first time to encounter a war, so I couldn't help much. Father Ba and Lauren didn't let me become an ordinary naval officer. Instead, they asked me to stay by their side and learn how they commanded this war. A very large battle.
The formation chosen by Lauren's father is very strange. It is different from the swarming attack of the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces. He fights with a Roman "t" symbol shape. There is a strict pace between advance and retreat, no matter how the enemy attacks us. The warships, no matter how many boulders or iron crossbows came at them, maintained a neat formation. If they didn't move, they would all stay still. If they moved, they would rush out in full force.
If you look carefully, during the all-out attack, the large formation of our coalition forces was divided into more than a dozen small formations, each led by several large ships and several small ships. This formed a strength advantage within the area and concentrated solutions. After seizing the enemy's most difficult battleship, he then smashed their formation in one go.
It has to be said that our naval formation, which has been practicing for a long time, actually only spent three hours to completely penetrate the formation of the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces, inflicting heavy losses on their large ships and destroying all the enemies. The ships all moved forward, scattered in pieces, and there was no unified command.
The stunned coalition forces of Namada and Tsugaru, even though they were defeated steadily by us, even in the face of repeated crushing by us, they still showed the bravery of their warriors and knocked out the last iron crossbow and the last boulder. In the end, he still didn¡¯t retreat and still wanted to fight hardGet close to us and kill us at close range.
But after piercing their ship formation for the second time and knocking out their flagship, we, who had a complete advantage, would not let them rush onto the ship at all. When persuading them to surrender failed, Ba Ye finally Still sighing and giving the order to attack, all the ships that desperately rushed towards us were sunk with huge rocks.
