- It is not unreasonable for Emma and Sarah to be worried about everyone's current situation. Because no one could have imagined that this trip to the Ming Dynasty would encounter such an accident.
What I originally thought would be an easy trip actually encountered barbarians fighting a war against the Ming Dynasty. They actually surrounded the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially when this incident happened to Zhao Hongyu and his party, who were still staying in the capital city, it made the two women even more worried.
Now in the capital city, all the people of Ming Dynasty are worried about this.
And then, their worries and emotions also affected Emma and Sarah.
¡° If there was a huge army following Zhao Hongyu, then they would not be so worried. But it happened that at this time, Zhao Hongyu did not have such an army around him.
When leaving Kyushu, Zhao Hongyu only took three battleships, and these three battleships carried less than 2,000 army personnel.
Even though there were Roderney's mercenaries, they did not exceed 2,000.
Furthermore, when Zhao Hongyu entered the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he left most of the army, that is, the Imperial Guard, at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf, and only brought less than 500 people into this great eastern city.
Faced with the current situation, what can five hundred people do?
Even if the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are very strong, it is impossible to protect them from the barbarians with only 500 people, right?
This is a very unrealistic fantasy.
Especially Sarah and Emma have recently gotten to know some ladies from nearby official families. From the mouths of these rich ladies, the two of them learned the most real situation in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
There is nothing wrong with having defenders in the city, but there are definitely not as many defenders as written.
The ministers told Zhu Shangwu that there were 12 armies of the emperor in the capital, plus 7,788 troops. There are about 100,000 people. This is a complete lie, and in fact there is not much at all.
It¡¯s only 50,000 people at most.
For such a large city, the garrison of only 50,000 people is far from enough.
This is also one of the reasons why when the Manchus outside the city drove the surrender army to attack, Sun Chuanting asked for help from friendly forces but was unable to do so, because it was with other generals. There are not enough troops to support him.
If they support Sun Chuanting, then the place where they are stationed will be even more lacking in troops.
Once the Manchus use a false shot to attack the place where they are stationed, they will not be able to bear it.
Of course, the most important thing is these generals. I saved some thoughts of self-preservation and refused to save myself.
But in any case, it is a fact that everyone knows that the capital is currently short of troops, and only Zhu Shangwu does not know this at all.
Zhu Shangwu thought that there were really more than 100,000 troops stationed in the capital, because this was what the ministers he trusted told him, wasn't it?
After getting the real information, it¡¯s not surprising that Sarah and Emma were a little worried about it.
Can Daming be able to defend this city?
Sarah thought it was a little impossible.
??Speaking of savages. Sarah felt a little uneasy.
??History, Europeans have suffered enough from barbarians.
Therefore, when Europeans mention those barbarians, they will always have lingering fears.
Although we are in the East now, the barbarians here in the East are probably no different from those in Europe.
Besides, I heard that Alati, the whip of God, came from the east.
So. Aren¡¯t the native barbarians here in the east even more powerful?
Emma didn¡¯t think as much as Sara thought when she arrived. The reason why the little girl was a little worried about this was because she heard that there were many barbarian troops outside the city, and it seemed that there were more than the defenders.
In terms of numbers, the little girl thought that Ming Dynasty might not be able to win this war.
After all, Emma¡¯s little mind thinks things are very simple. In the wars of American Indian tribes, the number of warriors often determines the outcome of the war.
So, the little girl Sara will judge victory or defeat based on the number of troops.
She has absolutely no idea. In many cases, wars must consider the comparison of military strength, but what is more important is the will to fight, as well as the overall situation of logistics supplies and weapons.
You must know that when he was on the Japanese side, Zhao Hongyu relied on his inferior military strength. Won a series of victories, and finally defeated the shogunate and ceded Kyushu.
Even, when the great names of Kyushu unitedLater, when they attacked with a number that exceeded Zhao Hongyu's total strength by more than ten times, they were all defeated by Zhao Hongyu.
After all, Emma is still young, she has long forgotten this matter.
Otherwise, maybe she wouldn't be so worried.
Of course, the number of troops around Zhao Hongyu is indeed somewhat lacking now.
With less than 500 troops, it would really be a bit troublesome if the capital city was destroyed.
The Manchus have elite cavalry, and it will be very difficult for Zhao Hongyu and others to break through.
Although Zhao Hongyu has powerful grenades and sharp muskets.
But after all, the number of soldiers is too few.
If the Manchus sent 3,000 men to attack him, they would definitely cause him irreparable losses and even kill him.
However, Zhao Hongyu is not worried about the capital being destroyed.
Because as long as the grenades and muskets are sold to the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Manchus outside the city.
Thinking about it, the defenders fighting against the city could definitely inflict huge damage to the Manchus.
By then, after the losses were too great, the Manchus would have to retreat.
??Besides, according to the normal historical trend, the Manchus have never conquered the capital.
Although history has gone awry now, Zhao Hongyu took this into consideration, so he decided to sell arms to the Ming Dynasty.
He should try his best not to let this happen.
Because Zhao Hongyu also understood that once the Manchu army outside the city broke into the city, he would be unable to control the subsequent situations.
"Zhao Hongyu is not a god. Although he has a cheat that defies heaven, he is still a human being in the end.
Therefore, he must consider a way out for this matter.
"In fact, Zhao Hongyu is also thinking about it these days. If he was like the protagonists described in his novels, possessing the power to destroy the world, maybe he wouldn't have to worry so much when encountering such a situation.
When the time comes, all he needs to do is appear outside the city, blow his breath and wave his hands to wipe out the Manchu army.
pity. He knew that he did not have such power, so he could only accept the reality obediently and think about it for himself, Emma, ??Sarah, and the people who followed him.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knew that the Manchu army outside the city wanted to break through the capital's defenses. A huge price must be paid.
Thinking about it, Huang Taiji, who commanded the army, and the banner leaders also knew this.
Nowadays, Houjin has a small population, especially the Manchu population.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu felt that Huang Taiji could not risk losing a large number of elites. Come to attack the capital with all your might.
As long as he is a qualified commander, he would never make such a decision.
The current Hou Jin Kingdom does not have the strength to dominate the world.
Now that they are approaching the city is a kind of temptation, and it is also the result of bad luck.
Even if they captured the capital, at most they would just loot and then leave and return to Houjin.
It is impossible for them to stay here after conquering the capital.
Because if you do this, you are definitely seeking death.
Think about it this way as a human being. If Zhao Hongyu were Huang Taiji, he would not do this.
So as the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the army, Huang Taiji, who has left his name in the history of another time and space, can he be so stupid?
It is absolutely impossible.
¡° If Huang Taiji was mentally retarded, then Hou Jin would not have flourished in national power after he ascended the throne.
Thinking about it, Huang Taiji also clearly saw the risks involved.
As long as he sees this risk, he will definitely not attack with all his strength.
If we don¡¯t try our best, how can we conquer the capital?
Do the Manchus dare to fight?
When Zhao Hongyu was having a fierce battle at midnight. I've been thinking about this issue.
Finally, he came up with an answer.
That¡¯s what the Manchu people don¡¯t dare to fight for.
hey-hey!
If Huang Taiji really wants to break through the capital, then the midnight attack will not just send surrender troops.
Zhao Hongyu made some speculations in his mind.
However, the appearance of the surrender army made Zhao Hongyu feel sick for a long time.
In another time and space. Looks like?Shun Jun also appeared.
But in his original time and space, Mao Wenlong was killed when the surrender army appeared, and his men defected to the Later Jin Kingdom.
Now that there is no Mao Wenlong in this time and space, the surrender army actually appeared.
It seems that although there have been deviations in history, some subtle points are still going according to historical inertia.
Zhao Hongyu was a little worried about the fact that the Han people were working for the Manchus.
If there are no deviations, when the Manchus take over the Central Plains and change the name of the country, they will become the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Highnesses, the Crown Princess, I think the situation is not that bad. I think the Manchus outside the city are just showing off. They don't have the strength to break through the capital at all, so we don't need to worry too much."
At this time, Master Wang, who had been silent, spoke.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
Hearing this, Sarah looked at Mrs. Wang doubtfully.
Mrs. Wang smiled and glanced at Zhao Hongyu.
"I also want to hear what your opinion is on the current situation." After feeling Mrs. Wang's gaze, Zhao Hongyu nodded at him.
After getting Zhao Hongyu's signal, Mrs. Wang straightened up, raised his hand to stroke his beard and explained: "Prince, Crown Princess, the city defense here in the capital is extremely thick. It will take a long time for the Manchus to break through it." It takes a lot of effort. And they can't do it in a short time. For the Manchus outside the city, what they lack most is time."
"Because if it takes too long, when King Qin's army arrives, they will become turtles in the urn and completely lose the advantage they have now"
Listening to Master Wang¡¯s analysis, Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly in agreement.
In fact, his views on this situation are basically the same as Master Wang's, and he even thinks more than him. - Didn't finish reading?
