"The Japanese rebellion in Ryukyu?"
Qingzhou camp, Niu Zhen and other generals were excited when they learned that Ryukyu Island was occupied by Japanese pirates.
Lu Fei yelled: "Your Highness, what are you waiting for? We're going to attack Ryukyu now. Hehe, we've been doing nothing but training for half a year
"Without day-to-day training, how can this soldier win a battle? You are impetuous." Niu Zhen stares at Lu Fei.
After touching his head, Lu Fei suddenly laughed.
Then he continued: "Your Highness, the Dutch may not be credible, and Ryukyu is a strange place for us, so we need to be cautious when we rush to the expedition."
"Well, I think so too, so I'm asking secret guards to spy on intelligence. If Ryukyu is really occupied by Japanese pirates, we must send troops to help the Dutch. After all, we will be the only Dutch ally in East Asia."
Luo Xin said: "Your Highness, no matter the Dutch or the Japanese, as long as they get in our way, we will kill them. The military workshop has just sent 24 field guns to the artillery camp. Now we have nothing to lack."
"Twenty four field guns?"
In the production of field artillery, Xiao Ming ordered Chen Qi to hand over these artillery directly to the army. It seems that the handover of artillery is over now.
"Twelve six pound light field guns. The rest are twelve pound siege guns." He added.
Xiao Ming nodded. Today's Qingzhou army has basically completed the firearm equipment. Now the 20000 Qingzhou army's firearm equipment has been improved.
In addition to the field guns just delivered, the army was also equipped with tiger gun. The next task of the army is to continue to implement the firearms equipment and training in other states and counties.
"In this case, you need to be prepared now. Different from dealing with barbarians, the Japanese pirates on Ryukyu Island are all equipped with rifles. You are likely to experience a firefight." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, your highness, we are ready to fight." Niu Zhen and other generals stood up and said.
After greeting the army, Xiao Ming went to see the field guns sent by Chen Qi. These field guns are basically the same as the Dutch field guns. It's very fast to use horses to tow these guns installed on the wheeled gun rack.
"Your Highness, now the number of Qingzhou army chariots has reached 600, which is enough to support the march of 30000 people." Niu Zhen excitedly said that in his view, the car array is a sharp weapon against the barbarians.
With so many chariots, they were able to build a fortress on the grassland, which was Xiao Ming's defense strategy against the barbarians.
"When Ryukyu is collected, we will go deep into the grassland and build the first fortress, which is called ningzhou fortress." Xiao Ming said that he decided not to defend passively, but to build a series of connected fortresses to compress the living space of the barbarians.
Because sometimes attack is the best defense, and defending the enemy outside the country is the right way. Now the barbarians are ready to move again, but he will not give the barbarians the same chance in Jizhou last time.
In the minds of the generals of Dayu, barbarians are the biggest threat to Dayu, which has never changed.
With Xiao Ming's promise, Niu Zhen smiles. Qingzhou army insists on hard training in order to eliminate the threat from the north one day.
After talking to Niu Zhen about giving priority to the reform of the army in Youzhou and Dengzhou, Xiao Ming went back to the palace.
On the third day, the Secret Intelligence arrived in Qingzhou, and Wang Xuan appeared in the palace for the first time.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid what the Dutch said is true. The Japanese attacked the Dutch, and more than 300 Dutch soldiers died in the city of reranzhe. Now the Japanese occupied the opposite fort, and there are more and more Japanese reinforcements. It seems that they are going to take the city of reranzhe together." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.
When he got the news, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, "these Dutch people are really tied up in a cocoon. Japan is an unfamiliar dog. Now they have been bitten, and they will remember."
"Your Highness seems very happy about it?" Wang Xuan was puzzled.
Xiao Ming explained: "in fact, it's very simple. The Dutch have been trading with the Japanese. Now the Japanese have attacked the Dutch, which inevitably leads to the Dutch not trusting the Japanese. In this way, we will become the only trading partner of the Dutch. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"That's true at this point." Wang Xuanxing is enlightened.
After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Xuan, "continue to pay attention to the movements of Ryukyu and Japanese pirates, and report to Wang at any time."
"Yes, your highness."
Seeing Wang Xuan off, Xiao Ming officially ordered Niu Yao's troops to go to Dengzhou and prepare to attack Ryukyu. The Japanese invasion along the coast has always been a headache for the state of Dayu. Since these people are Japanese pirates, his action can also be regarded as suppressing bandits.
After getting Xiao Ming's order, Niu Zhen assigned Lu Fei and Luo Xin to Xiao Ming, and asked them to lead 10000 soldiers in charge of the Ryukyu war.
Xiao Ming is very satisfied with this arrangement. They are the best among the generals. For war, good generals can reduce the casualties of soldiers.
Rod is still waiting for Xiao Ming in Dengzhou. After he has assembled his army, Xiao Ming leads half of Qingzhou army to Dengzhou city.On March 16, when Xiao Ming arrived in Dengzhou City, he also met rod, who was like an ant on a hot pot.
"Your Highness, please save our city of reranzhe. Now we are allies, please help us at this dangerous time." Rod said bitterly.
At this time, Rhode's clothes were not neat, his face was haggard, and his expression was a little pleading. Instead of being domineering, they finally realized that they were very vulnerable in East Asia.
"Don't worry, Ambassador rod. I know what happened, but I need you to tell us more details." In modern times, the Dutch are driven out of Ryukyu by Zheng Chenggong's 20000 soldiers. It can be seen that the hot weapons are still powerless in the face of the enemy who is several times as powerful as themselves.
Now the Dutch naturally suffered the same thing. The number of Japanese pirates was more than several times that of the Dutch garrison.
Dressed in uniform and carrying a flint gun, the Qingzhou army continued to enter the city, followed by the field guns pulled by horses. The powerful Qingzhou army gradually calmed rod down.
At the same time, a wave of hope rose in his heart, because in his opinion, although the current Qingzhou equipment is not necessarily comparable to their troops, it is superior to the Japanese equipment.
And enough to fight the Japanese pirates in number.
"First, 3000 mercenaries attacked the city of jalanzha, then 5000 Japanese pirates landed on Ryukyu Island from the sea and took control of the fort. Now there are more and more Japanese pirates coming from the sea to support. It seems that all the Japanese pirates are coming." Rod said nervously.
Smell speech, Xiao Ming frowned, "no, there are a lot of Japanese pirates, this is only a small part."
