- After nightfall, the dispatched Iga ninjas returned to Kawaguchi Town one after another. With the return of the Iga ninjas, they also brought a piece of news.
"What, Kyushu is planning to use scorched earth warfare to deal with us? Is it for this reason that all the people in Kawaguchi Town left here when they discovered us?"
After Zhao Hongyu listened to Hattori Onizou¡¯s report, he couldn¡¯t help but grin.
"This bullshit scorched-earth battle can't be a problem for him at all."
Hattori Kizo nodded seriously: "Yes, Your Highness, the 13 lords of Kyushu have united and assembled a heavy army of 150,000 people in Mirokuhara, a suburb outside Miyazaki City. It seems that these Kyushu people are planning to Defeat us in one fell swoop and then drive us into the sea."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Zhao Hongyu really felt ridiculous.
However, the other party actually gathered 150,000 people, which was beyond his expectation.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu thought that there were not many people in Kyushu and it was a remote area in Japan. It was not expected that there would be many men and horses, but it was completely unexpected that these guys actually gathered 150,000 people in one go.
Therefore, now he has to treat it carefully.
¡°Fifteen thousand people is not a small number.
Sometimes, quantity can also cause changes in quality.
If you are not careful, it is not impossible for your boat to capsize in the gutter.
Hehe, things have become a little more interesting, and the difficulty has also increased.
Zhao Hongyu sneered in his heart.
"It seems that the thirteen famous families in Kyushu will not hand over their power easily. In the end, we still have to use force to solve this problem."
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a moment, and then he thought about why the people of Kyushu did this.
Hattori Kizo, who was kneeling in front of Zhao Hongyu, leaned over and said: "Your Highness, the Kyushu army is too powerful. Should we retreat from its edge? My subordinates suggest that we leave Kawaguchi Town temporarily, and then take a battleship to sail northward from Hyuga and Hyuga in the north. Land at Nobeoka or Tsukumi at Tsurumi Cape, and then directly conquer the Bungo family's territory and approach Kumamoto."
When Hattori Onizou made this suggestion, Zhao Hongyu ordered a map of Kyushu to be brought.
This map was given to him by the shogunate as a sign of sincerity in ceding Kyushu.
Zhao Hongyu put his eyes on the map and looked at Pan Heng very carefully.
The landing places mentioned by Hattori Onizou are all very good, and it is not impossible to capture Bungo.
However, there is a problem here, that is, after the Bungo territory is conquered, we will have to face enemies from the north and the south.
And behind the Bungo Strait is the Shikoku Continent.
If the Japanese from the four countries also take action, they will be trapped in a three-sided attack.
Unless Zhao Hongyu can lead his army to conquer Kumamoto all the way, and then quickly wipe out Northern Kyushu, and then engage in a decisive battle against the coalition forces in Southern Kyushu.
Otherwise, the situation will become very unfavorable to Zhao Hongyu.
This method is very dangerous. Although it is feasible, it is also risky.
Zhao Hongyu, who has gone through the Battle of Osaka Castle, has now followed Emma and Sarah's advice and will try his best not to put himself in dangerous situations in the future.
Therefore, there is no way for him to agree to a proposal like Hattori Kizo's.
"Kizo, do you have any other suggestions?" Zhao Hongyu shook his head and said to Hattori Kizo. Seeing Zhao Hongyu's reaction, Hattori Kizo also knew that his suggestion would not be accepted.
However, Hattori Kizo was not disappointed at all. After all, he also understood that his proposal was full of variables and dangers.
Although the scope is very feasible, the specific operation is also very difficult.
Fortunately, he has another suggestion.
"Your Highness, another suggestion from my subordinates is to take a boat from the southern Satsuma Peninsula to land on the Aku River to conquer the Satsuma Domain, and then send an army to attack the northeast and unify Minami Kyushu."
One is facing north and the other is facing south.
Zhao Hongyu looked at the map for a long time and found that it was very reliable to attack the Satsuma domain.
But, I haven¡¯t fought the enemy yet. Will retreating like this affect my morale?
Zhao Hongyu had to think carefully about this issue.
Although the Kyushu people gathered a heavy army of 150,000 people at Mirokuhara in Miyazaki, these 150,000 people fought with cold weapons.
OwnAlthough the number was less than 10,000, they used flintlock muskets and artillery.
¡°If you really fight against the Kyushu people, it doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that you really don¡¯t have the strength to fight.
So, if that¡¯s the case, should I follow Hattori Kizo¡¯s advice?
Of course, if you can defeat the heavy troops assembled in Kyushu, then you can march westward to seize the territory of Miyazaki area, and then conquer Satsuma Domain and take control of Southern Kyushu in your own hands. Because after being defeated by him, the Kyushu Army would not be able to form a military force capable of fighting again in a short period of time.
The question now is whether you should give it a try.
After all, his army possesses powerful weapons that exceed those of the Japanese in this era.
Emma and Sarah both sat next to Zhao Hongyu with serious faces. At such a time, they did not interrupt.
Because both of them know that the issue that men are talking about now is a very serious topic. So as a woman, all they can do now is sit here quietly.
Around them, Tokugawa Kayo, Kawabe Yuuji and Iguchi Zozo also participated in this small meeting.
Tokugawa Kayo, who was not very clear about military issues, wisely did not choose to speak. Anyway, she had made up her mind to just follow the instructions of His Highness.
As for the fisherman Iguchi Zaozo, he has no say in this matter.
Only Yuuji Kawabe looked at the map attentively, seeming hesitant to speak.
"Xiongji, do you have any ideas? If you have any good suggestions, you might as well say it and let everyone listen." Zhao Hongyu, who had been observing everyone's reactions, saw Yuji's state by the river, so he spoke.
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, everyone turned their attention to Yuji Kawabe, which made Yuji Kawabe a little uneasy.
After all, this time they have to face the Kyushu Army with a strength of 150,000. Moreover, during the Warring States Period, the Kyushu Army was a well-known place for a strong military.
The people here are very tough, so the soldiers are very capable of fighting.
"Your Highness, I think we can try to fight with the Kyushu Army." As soon as Yuji Kawabe opened his mouth, Zhao Hongyu's eyes lit up.
Yes, actually Zhao Hongyu is also considering this issue.
Originally, he thought he was the only one who would think so, but he never expected that the fat man Yuji Kawabe had the same thought as him.
"Everyone, I'm definitely not crazy. I also know that the Kyushu people have assembled a force of 150,000, and we can't match the number." Kawabe Yuuji saw Hattori Kizo, Tokugawa Kayo, and Iguchi Zou While Sandu looked at him like a fool, he couldn't help but explain.
Yes, ideas like those of Yuji Kawabe are considered crazy by everyone.
Our own army only has more than 9,000 troops, but the enemy's strength has reached 150,000.
The difference in military strength between the two sides was too great, but under such circumstances, Kawabe Yuuji actually said that he would try to fight with the opponent.
Isn¡¯t this a suggestion that only a madman would make?
With just such a small number of people fighting against the Kyushu people, they would probably be overwhelmed in one charge.
That¡¯s 150,000 people. Even if 150,000 lambs rush over, it will be a headache, let alone an army of 150,000 people.
"Don't forget, the weapons used by our soldiers are very sharp, and we also have artillery. These are things that the Kyushu people do not have, and everyone must have a clear understanding of the power of these weapons."
After a brief explanation, Kawabe Yuuji continued.
When the fat man talked about the advantages of his own weapons, everyone's eyes changed.
Yes, they only considered the 150,000 Kyushu people's army, but they did not expect that their side also had advantages that the other side did not have, that is, sharp flintlock guns and powerful artillery that hit a large area.
Under the attack of this kind of weapon, no matter how brave you are, there will be no place for you to show off.
With one shot or a cannon, even if Miyamoto Musashi was still alive, he would be blown to pieces.
And the artillery weapon, under the bombardment one by one, has a huge impact on the morale and courage of the soldiers.
No matter how tough your nerves are, it is impossible to remain indifferent to that bloody scene.
During the battle in Osaka Castle, they all experienced it completely.
The one who has the deepest experience is probably serving as the commander of the expeditionary army.The official Ishida Kaido is that guy.
Because after the seven-day battle to siege Osaka Castle, many soldiers in the expeditionary army suffered from mental breakdown.
They were all frightened by the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, how many artillery pieces do we have in our army?"
After Yuji Hebian finished speaking to everyone, he leaned over and asked Zhao Hongyu.
The question he asked is absolutely confidential.
However, in order to stabilize everyone and support Yuji Kawabe, Zhao Hongyu still answered his question.
Before answering, Zhao Hongyu silently calculated in his heart.
During the Osaka Castle War, I used the thirty-six twenty-four-pound artillery pieces. These artillery pieces have now been brought to Kyushu.
However, if we were to fight against the Kyushu army of 150,000 people, it would be obvious that the number of these thirty-six artillery pieces was too few.
Therefore, he can only add some artillery to cause greater losses and shock to those Kyushu people in the battle.
"Now we have thirty-six twenty-four-pound guns. At the same time, I want to remove four more guns from each battleship to form a fleet of two hundred guns. I think this will be enough to surprise the people of Kyushu. Alright."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words made Yuji Kawabe look happy. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
