- This battle took a total of six hours, from the time when the sun was about to set until the sun was about to set. After the final battle, countless pieces of wood were left on the sea.
Occasionally, I saw people struggling in the whirlpools, but except for the sergeants from Three Kingdoms City who we rescued, the remaining sergeants from the two major families, due to the lack of rescue personnel and the idea of ??weakening the enemy's strength, were in Baye. No rescue will be given under the order.
Of the 180 warships sent by the Namada and Tsugaru coalition forces, only 23 ships and 6,000 sergeants were left.
This was the last remaining general of the Namada family. He wanted to leave some seeds for the two families, so he had no choice but to surrender. The rest were all sunk in the Tsugaru Strait.
All the generals of the Namada family and the Tsugaru family, including the heads of Tsugaru Hikaru and Namada Josei, almost all the important figures of the two families died in this super sea battle. In the end, the 6,000 surrendered sailors were counted. When the officers and soldiers of the army discovered that they only had one sixty-year-old general and five generals left, the remaining senior officials at the level of generals and above also followed the warships they commanded and sank into the deep sea of ??the Tsugaru Strait. .
?According to the veteran general¡¯s confession, the Tsugaru and Namada coalition forces fought a total of 68,000 men. Apart from the more than 6,000 men in front of them, the remaining 62,000 were all involved in this naval battle.
It can be said that in this naval battle that decided the fate of both sides, the Tsugaru family and the Namada family suffered a devastating blow, not to mention maintaining their rule in the southwest of Ezo Island, which was their main family in Mutsu and Dewa on Honshu Island. ¡¯s rule is absolutely impossible.
?To put it more cruelly. Since then, the Tsugaru family and the Namada family have withdrawn from the stage of history and can no longer exist as two daimyo families.
Instead, our Three Kingdoms City will become one of the undisputed overlords in the northern region.
As the victor, the Three Kingdoms City Navy gained too much, and our losses were equally huge: fifteen large ships were directly sunk, twenty medium-sized warships were sunk, thirty large ships were seriously damaged, and the remaining All of them suffered minor injuries. Without three to five months of maintenance, there is no way to restore combat effectiveness.
The loss of personnel was also very serious. More than 2,000 naval officers and 3,000 strong men did not have time to escape before the ship sank, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea together with the ships they fought.
In addition, on other ships, although these warships were not sunk, the boulders and iron crossbows were also very lethal, and more than 3,000 soldiers and strong men were killed. No less than 10,000 people were injured.
In total, our casualties reached 20,000. This is still the case when the Fujiwara family, the most powerful family in Japan, participates in the war. If it were us, I am afraid that this number would be doubled, and it would not be surprising.
?????????????? How can we comfort ourselves? Such a large number of casualties simply makes us, the people of Three Kingdoms City, who have won the war, unable to be very happy.
For these daimyo from Kansai, Shikoku and Kyushu, the north is a barbarian land. However, a naval battle of this caliber and scale was still very enjoyable and exciting for these elders. They felt that being able to experience this Tsugaru naval battle in their lifetime would definitely be a life-long experience for a sergeant on the sea.
Their damage was smaller, with more than a thousand casualties. Not only did we give large rewards to the surviving naval officers, but we also gave very high pensions to those who were killed and wounded, reaching as high as all the sergeants who helped in the battle. They were all a little jealous, but at the same time they sincerely admired our courage.
Looking at the setting sun, listening to the sound of the sea breeze whistling in my ears, and hearing the screams and groans of pain everywhere Feeling the atmosphere of the battlefield, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Father Lauren, who was already very tired, smiled slightly when he saw this and patted me on the shoulder, "Xiaobao, don't be too sentimental! This is how the world is. If you want to live a good life, you have to Continuously defeat the enemy and make ourselves stronger, so that we can protect our loved ones."
"Yes." The tyrant lying on the deck said lazily, "Son, if the Namada Army and the Tsugaru Army win, you won't even have a chance to express your feelings! Not to mention that our family will be devastated. Why are they killing! If you think about it this way, at least if we win, we will not kill them all. This is also a good thing for the Namada family and the Tsugaru family, right? "
After thinking about the words of the two fathers for a long time, I burst into laughter.
¡°Then, let¡¯s face a new day!¡±
Facing the setting sun, I shouted loudly!
¡¡
??Stayed where we were and rested for a day, saying goodbye to fighting with us.??For the sergeants who came from the south, we didn't even clean up the battlefield, so we drove back to Liuyin Harbor with the captives and ships.
It's not that we don't want to conquer the Namada family and Tsugaru family in pursuit of victory, but that of our 110,000 people, only 40,000 can really fight. The remaining 70,000 strong men are loading boulders and iron crossbows on the ship, controlling trebuchets and The powerful crossbows were okay, but when they arrived on land, it would be a bit difficult to ask them to take up arms and fight the Namada Army and Tsugaru Army.
Another key point is that although the naval forces of the Namada family and the Tsugaru family have been completely defeated by us, their land strength has not been damaged at all, let alone the three cities of Otaru, Sapporo and Chitose on Ezo Island. One hundred thousand people, even among the 1.2 million people in their local area, there should be more than 50,000 infantry.
In addition, we are invaders, and the people of the two territories will definitely rise up to resist. Think about more than 30,000 people versus 1.2 million Let¡¯s forget it. Let¡¯s go back for the time being. First, let¡¯s kill the 30 people in the three cities in the southern part of Ezo Island. If all the people swallow it into their own stomachs, that is the right way.
Even though we speeded up our voyage, even though we brought hundreds of disciples and doctors with Sister Zhenniang, there were also hundreds of seriously injured sergeants who failed to make it back to Liuyin Harbor, which added to our great victory. sad.
The saddest thing is naturally not like this. While most people are celebrating the complete defeat of Namada and the Tsugaru navy, and one-fifth of the people are sad, the leader of our group is sitting in the meeting hall, accepting The ladies at home criticized him harshly.
"This is a bit difficult for us We don't have much money at home, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the pension for this battle" This is Haruko's mother who speaks softly.
"Can you be more careless when you are fighting? When we went out, more than 8,000 people were killed and more than 10,000 were seriously injured. How many men do we have in total?" This is Xiaoxuan's mother who used ironic sentences.
"Laugh! Xiaobao, why are you laughing? Do you feel comfortable being scolded by your fathers? Don't look at how extravagant and wasteful you were when you were in Japan. You are a waste! Don't you know how to save a little? ? It makes us so embarrassed now" This was naturally the attack launched by Helen's mother, the most powerful and free-spirited person.
"Well, blaming is meaningless. They have won the battle. They should be happy and then think about how to solve the problem." Of course, the only person who can speak for us, a group of big men, is a gentle sister.
No wonder the mothers are upset. The casualty pension of 20,000 people is enough to make anyone feel distressed. In addition, almost one-third of the ships need major repairs, and one-third of the ships need compensatory rest. This is another huge amount of money. expenditure.
Originally we still had a lot of gold tickets, but because the sergeants of the southern famous people who assisted in the battle suffered a lot of casualties, plus the hard work fee, we spent 500,000 taels of gold, and now the entire Three Kingdoms City is empty. With less than 300,000 taels of gold, the accounting room can be described as empty.
Therefore, even if we persuaded them to send the captives of the Namada family and Tsugaru family to do the most arduous work of cultivating fields and building houses, saving manpower for the Three Kingdoms City, they did not give us a good look.
In the end, it was the timid suggestion from Mr. Quan that we could go to the Zongduan Mountains to do business in the near future, buy some bear paws and mountain products to supplement the consumption of the "Mengqiu Tower" in the two places, and then buy some cattle, sheep and horses, and take them to Sakai Town. Or the Song Dynasty could sell it, and even use the profits from the "Mengqiu Tower" in Liaoyang Mansion and Bianliang.
The words of the pretty young woman won unanimous praise from everyone.
After all, complaining and blaming cannot solve the problem. Only by actively thinking of ways can things be handled well.
Although we are very poor now, the most important thing of paying pensions has not been left behind. The 300,000 taels of gold that were moved back from Sakai Town in Japan last time were distributed in the form of small gold coins: to the families of the war dead Receive fifteen taels of gold, those with serious injuries will receive 10 taels of gold, and those with minor injuries will receive 5 taels of gold Of course, this is only the first batch, and subsequent gold will be replenished when the gold comes back.
We also knew that the pension provided was very small. Seeing that there was really nothing left, we could only grit our teeth and distribute all the 13,000 pieces of silverware purchased from the Southwest Yi area. Although the price was not expensive, it was still good. It can also be used at home and looks good on the body.
It doesn¡¯t matter if you have less money, but you must first make a gesture so that the sergeants of the Third Army will see it.
Because we immediately paid pensions to the sergeants who were killed and injured in battle and their families, almost all the gold we saved was used up, and the remaining military merit rewards can only be postponed. This point, everyone said it didn't matter, anyway. Just make sure that your lord will not default on your debts, and just keep his word as before.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Of course, it is not just a matter of money. In the homes of the war dead, we in Three Kingdoms City are responsible for providing care and support for the elderly. If the wife wants to remarry, she will give her a gift. If she does not remarry, she will give her a monthly subsidy to ensure that she is well fed and well fed. The children will also be provided by Three Kingdoms City raised him until he was eighteen years old.
The families of injured sergeants are also dealt with in this way. Anyway, they are very generous, ensuring that those families who have lost their combat effectiveness and labor force can live comfortably in the future, and completely solve their worries.
For a time, many items in the Three Kingdoms City's inventory, such as food, were distributed as rewards on a large scale. All the soldiers who went on the expedition were not disappointed. The things at home were piled up, which not only made them feel better, but also It made those people who did not go on the expedition feel envious. - Didn't finish reading?
