Chapter 796 Divine Soldiers Descended from Heaven, Target: Edo!
ta ta ta
The sound of neat footsteps sounded on the official road.

A long queue of soldiers from the new army marched towards the scheduled assembly point.

The officers and soldiers of the new army carried their muskets on their shoulders, and wore iron helmets on the guns. They did not wear armor, but only wore leggings and combat boots.

The cotton armor of each battalion was put on a carriage and pulled forward by war horses, and the artillery, gunpowder, guns and guns were all pulled by the carriage, so each battalion of new troops had a large number of horses and horses pulling equipment and supplies.

On the side of the official road, Wang Sanling, the governor of the third rank of the Ming Dynasty, was frowning: "The speed is still a bit slow, we have to speed up."

Li Chaoxian, the coordinator of the association, explained: "After receiving the order from the cabinet, the brothers left camp immediately, without any delay in the middle."

Wang Sanling said: "I know, but time waits for no one. Tell the brothers, rush to Weihaiwei as soon as possible, and when you arrive at Jeju Island by boat, you can rest for a while."

In this battle against Dongying, the imperial court only dispatched four towns, two of which were in the north and the south, respectively, and went out by boat in Weihai and Songjiang respectively.

In order to speed up the conquest of Wa, the cabinet mobilized four naval fleets for coordinated operations, and after discussing with the Korean court, Jeju Island was turned into a temporary transit point.

At present, the North Korean side has begun to carry out emergency repairs on Jeju Island, including re-strengthening and expanding the port, tamping roads and building more warehouses, etc. When the Daming Wangshi arrives, everything here will be transferred to Daming for dispatch.

Thinking of what Zhang Haogu said, Zhao Yuqi also had a prediction in her heart. Tomorrow's battle will be fought beautifully, and she will try to completely resolve the Edo war within three days, destroy the shogunate, capture the shogunate, and fight the terrorists. Those relatives have a genealogy!
In the early morning of the next day, accompanied by the dull sound of war drums and horns, the new troops from the four towns quickly pulled out their camps. It is impossible for all the 3 troops to set out to conquer Edo in this battle. People, leaving the two associations to stay in Jeju is also a reserve force.

Looking at her four generals, the three-ranked Zhendutong Wang Sanling, Wu Mingli, Zheng Bolun, and Lin Zhaoping, Zhao Yuqi's experience and combat achievements immediately emerged in Zhao Yuqi's mind.

Zhang Haogu had chosen the candidate, and the cabinet was unanimously approved, so Zhao Yuqi, the general, immediately had a new position: General of the Ming Dynasty Zhengdong and the president of the four towns, and the four towns were raised to conquer Dongying.

After verifying his integrity, General Zhao Yuqi entered the camp and went straight to the tent of the Chinese army.

It is impossible for the Ming army to move without news. Tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, and four navy fleets set sail. It is impossible for such a huge movement to remain silent. Moreover, although the Dutch failed, they can still do business. , They very "kindly" told the shogunate the news they could see.

The four commanders and the eight assistant commanders are all the senior generals of Zhao Yuqi's Japanese conquest army, especially generals, and those school lieutenants and captains can't get into the big account.

And this time the cabinet mobilized the new army of the four towns. The towns of the third rank will have four people, and the third rank will cooperate with eight people. There are so many generals of the third rank, so naturally a general is needed to rule.

"The main point of this battle is not on the battlefield, but in other places. As long as you fight well and show the majesty of the court, that's enough. Don't begrudge the artillery, you can use whatever the court gives you, and fight freely. One battle."

Arriving under the iron-clad ship in a small boat, Zhao Yuqi once again sighed in her heart for this huge monster. Only the ocean can accommodate such a monster. If it is on land, such a big guy can't move.

Zhao Yuqi said: "Tomorrow two of the most cutting-edge warships from the imperial court will arrive. These two warships will be merged into your department. All the main warships in your department will be replaced with heavy artillery. There is only one mission. Set sail tomorrow morning and head to Edo , Bomb Edo Bay, and blow up a passage for the Lu division to let the Lu division land."

Knowing such a considerate move, Zhu Youxiao praised Li Jing very much, and praised him for his general knowledge.

"Don't care about those pro-vassal genealogy generations. After taking Edo, just give them a head-on blow and hurt them. The imperial court will not send too many soldiers and horses in Dongying, let alone fight for a long time. Take Edo and After the capital, the imperial court will send envoys to negotiate with the big names in Japan."

The pitch black is like a giant whale, no, even a giant whale is not so huge!
This is simply a floating island in the sea!

Standing on the deck, looking at the two towering cannons behind her, Zhao Yuqi smiled, and then drew her sword: "Let's go!"

Zhao Yuqi looked at the other person again: "Admiral Han."

Shen Yi took over the military order: "The last general takes orders."

Inside the big tent, the generals stood up after speaking in unison. Zhao Yuqi took the imperial edict, held the imperial edict in one hand, and pressed the imperial sword in the other. She stood in front of the military case and looked at the generals. The division admirals clenched their right fists on their hearts and lowered their heads slightly: "See the general!"

If they used four towns of troops to deal with the soldiers of Dongpu's whole country, it would be impossible to win. Even if Dongpu took human lives, it could consume [-] new troops.

Zhao Yuqi immediately looked at the four commanders and said, "The main force of our army will board a ship for Edo tomorrow, and we will go down to Edo Castle first by surprise."

The passers-by communicated and then dispersed. What they saw and heard today will become their conversation material in the future, and they may be able to show off what happened today again at some point.

At this time, in Edo, Japan, there was silence in the shogunate.

"My emperor, long live, long live, long live."

After arriving in Weihaiwei, Zhao Yuqi didn't enter the city, but went directly to Jeju Island by boat. His soldiers and horses had already arrived, and now he was waiting for the general to arrive, and the battle against the Japanese began.

"General, you just ran all the way."

"On the map."

"Yuqi, remember, this battle must be fought quickly and fiercely. It depends on one battle, so that outsiders can see how powerful Daming is. The most important thing in this battle is to destroy the shogunate. The court does not need A shogunate that unifies Japan does not need a prestigious general and emperor."

"Today, Zhao Yuqi of the Special Jin Dynasty is the general of Zhengdong, and the president of the four towns. He has transferred the land division and naval division of the four towns, and returned Haibo Jingping. Great Mingqi 13 years."

Zhang Haogu's final candidate was Zhao Yuqi.

"I'm not afraid to tell everyone that Yuanfu specially summoned me before my departure. I can act according to circumstances. Linji is arbitrary. As long as we can destroy Edo and Kyoto in the shortest possible time, our mission will be completed."

The master of the shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Tokugawa family who conquered barbarians, sat kneeling on the castle tower, flanked by his retainers, pro-vassals and genealogy generations.

While the soldiers of the towns were resting, Zhao Yuqi and the four townsmen were still negotiating. They stared at the map and discussed, while Zhao Yuqi was thinking about what Zhang Haogu said to him before he left.

No wonder it is said that Shangguo is good, Shangguo is good, Shangguo is rich and powerful, and the farmers who assist are young and strong can eat so well.

A small boat was put down from an iron-clad ship, and the small boat quickly rowed to the shore. A naval captain stepped forward: "General, the two ships Zhenqi and Zhenliao have been ordered to come, and the general is invited to board the ship."

Zhao Yuqi said, expressing all her thoughts.

Zhao Yuqi took the lead in kneeling on one knee, and then all the generals knelt down on one knee in unison, only to hear the adjutant unfold the imperial decree and say loudly: "Bong, Emperor Tian Chengyun ordered, saying: Dongying is small and the people are few, and I always take pity on it. The wolves of Dongying are ambitious, and instead of repaying favors, they insist on going their own way and locking themselves up and imprisoning the people of other countries, causing condemnation from more than a dozen countries around them. I sent envoys to warn me, but I still don’t think about repenting.”

There are also some ninja spies hidden in North Korea by the shogunate, who also sent a lot of news to the shogunate, and the Ming court didn't want to hide it at all, so the shogunate soon knew the final attitude of the Ming Dynasty: If you don't want to talk, then fight .

When Zhao Yuqi arrived at Jeju Island, she was extremely satisfied with the camp.

Now Zhao Yuqi, who is a second-rank general, is rushing to Weihaiwei with her personal guards.

Admiral Shen Yi immediately stepped forward: "General."

A troop carrier was ready, and [-] new troops boarded the ship quickly. All kinds of luggage were transported onto the ship by the young and strong North Koreans early in the morning, and they could pull anchor and set sail just waiting for the soldiers of the new army to board the ship.

Looking at the North Korean officers and soldiers who were stunned or paralyzed on the ground, Zhao Yuqi shook her head in disdain. These North Koreans just didn't know anything about it, but it was just an iron-clad ship built by the imperial court. Why were they so shocked?

But after the new army boarded the ship, no matter whether it was a troop carrier or a warship, they were still waiting for something. Amidst the puzzlement of the North Korean officers and soldiers, accompanied by the dull sound of sirens, two huge black monsters were slowly approaching. .

"Upgrade."

On the official road, the horseshoes of the cavalry came from far to near, and the ground trembled like thunder roaring. The large cavalry had arrived in an instant, and the passers-by and merchants on both sides gave way one after another. When the cavalry left, the passers-by got together again and looked at the The dust and smoke in the distance began to discuss with each other.

The new troops from the four towns of the Ming Dynasty will take boats to Jeju Island one by one for final rest and preparations for battle. At the same time, supplies from the imperial court will be continuously delivered to Jeju Island. Jeju Island has now become a military camp. It became the hub of Ming Dynasty's maritime war against Japanese.

"Where did this horse team come from, so majestic?"

This was the first sentence Zhao Yuqi said when she entered the Chinese military camp.

The night before the battle, the food was very rich. Not only the soldiers of the new army were satisfied with the food, but also the vassals and young men of North Korea were full of food. They thought they were sent as cannon fodder by their king, but they didn’t expect to go to the country. They are so kind to them, as long as they work and patrol every day, they can still eat three solid meals a day, and there is still a meal of meat every day!

The admirals in command are now busy. Tonight is the last quiet night for the army. The logistics team began to cook hearty meals. In addition to noodles, there are also broth made from big bones and fish, as well as stewed rotten meat. Potato stew, stewed fish, etc., in order to let the soldiers have a good rest and recharge their batteries for tomorrow's battle.

"It's okay, people in the army, running all the way is not fighting all the way to raise the account."

Thinking about the strategy, Tokugawa Iemitsu asked, "Where are the troops of Kii, Mito, and Owari?"

As a map was spread out in the big tent, the generals stepped forward, Zhao Yuqi held a sword in both hands and said in a deep voice: "This map shows Kyoto and Edo in Japan and the surrounding terrain, the most elite Kanto and Kansai in Japan. , right up here."

Admiral Han Yunzhi stepped forward immediately: "General."

The [-] new troops of the Ming Dynasty have already established a complete camp on the island, and the sun and moon flags, dragon and tiger flags and other flags of the Ming Dynasty are flying in the camp.

The appearance of such a monster immediately stunned the North Korean officers and soldiers. What kind of monster is this?

Zhao Yuqi shook her head: "No need, don't care how many soldiers and troops Dongying has. Our mission is to take down Edo and Kyoto, capture the generals of the shogunate and the emperor of Dongying."

The feudal lord of Ji Yi bowed his head: "We have already arrived around Edo. If the Ming army arrives, our army is enough to give them a head-on blow."

The reason for choosing Zhao Yuqi is very simple. Zhao Yuqi is the commander of the [-] Battalion, and the cavalry is an aggressive character. Zhang Haogu hopes that Zhao Yuqi can quickly end the battle with a swift attack and destroy the Tokugawa shogunate in the shortest time. Dazed, and then completely established the power of the court.

Zhao Yuqi waved her hand and took out a military order: "Your warships set sail at night and attack Nagasaki at dawn tomorrow. You don't need to go ashore, and you don't need to kill many enemies. You only need to destroy the port of Nagasaki and destroy their ships. It can be sunk or trapped in Nagasaki Port."

At this time, Zhao Yuqi was wearing iron armor and an iron helmet on her head. She was sitting on the seat of the general with a big horse and a golden knife, waiting for her subordinates to arrive. Soon the generals arrived. Zhao Yuqi looked at these generals and nodded secretly. Raise your hand: "Please decree."

"Admiral Shen."

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded: "Let the samurai get ready, don't be stingy with all kinds of iron cannons, this battle is very dangerous. Those guys from North Korea provided help to the Ming Dynasty. If we fail in this battle, then we all It will cease to exist, but as long as we win, then we will gain greater rights and glory!"

At this time, on Jeju Island, warships went back and forth, thousands of sails stood everywhere, and large camps and warehouses were built on the island. The [-] young men left by North Korea to Ming were all used as logistics vassals, and the [-] North Korean soldiers assisted in patrolling and guarding the warehouse.

The adjutant took out the imperial decree: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

"In the land of Kyoto, although there is the Emperor of Dongying, the current ruler of Dongying is the shogunate. The generals of the shogunate have military and political power. This time the seclusion of the country is also the shogunate's will. Therefore, the first goal of our army is to take down Edo."

Although there is no money to take, what money do you need for such food?

"Everyone, sit down!" Zhao Yuqi said loudly.

"I glanced at it just now. These people are playing under the banner of Zhao. Which general is this going out?"

Moreover, the Korean monarch was very considerate and left five thousand young men on the island for the Daming king to carry the luggage, and also left two thousand soldiers and horses for the general of Shangguo to call.

In military operations, the soldiers below naturally do not know the purpose, but if the general above does not know the mission requirements and purpose, then there is no need to fight this battle, just admit defeat and forget it.

"This map was drawn by hundreds of spies from Jinyiwei after many years. If it wasn't for this battle, it would not have been in the hands of this general."

Following Zhao Yuqi's order, the personal guards immediately rang the military drums outside the big tent, and as the rumbling drums sounded, all the towns and cities rushed to the Chinese army's big tent in unison.

The generals understood in their hearts, and each of them felt that the pressure on their bodies was much less.

"The shogunate rejected the Ming Dynasty's request for the founding of the country before. According to the arrogance of the Ming Dynasty, they will inevitably choose to go to war with the shogunate. In order to protect our interests, we cannot avoid this war." Tokugawa Iemitsu said dully.

Zhu Youxiao specially bestowed a royal sword as a symbol of imperial power, which represented that Zhao Yuqi could act arbitrarily in Dongying.

"However, we are not going to blockade Nagasaki."

"Who says it's not? These horses look like military horses of the imperial court. Look at those iron armors. The armor on the front one is really beautiful."

Wang Sanling was a little puzzled: "We don't need to fight other places?"

"Your Majesty and Yuansuke have entrusted this general with a heavy responsibility to entrust the entire war in Japan to this general. I will not hide it from you. We will not go to Nagasaki for this battle. What happened there has nothing to do with us."

But just dealing with Kyoto and Edo, even if this is the most prosperous place in Japan, it can't stop the [-] new troops.

These North Korean youths all want to stay in Daming and continue to work for Daming.

In the conquest of Japan, the imperial court naturally dispatched elites to determine the outcome of the first battle. Now with the assistance of four experienced generals, Zhao Yuqi felt that the first assistant's strategy was almost 100% successful.

Han Yunzhi was overjoyed: "The last general takes orders."

Immediately, the two ironclad warships whistled, black smoke billowed, and the surrounding warships immediately pulled anchor and set sail. With the two ironclad giant ships as the core, each sailing ship cruised around, and the lucky boats and cruisers scattered. Hundreds of ships overwhelm the sea, sails are like forests, and flags cover the sky.

The elder of the shogunate said: "According to the investigation of the ninjas, the Ming army has already been dispatched, and their target must be Edo. They are likely to launch a beheading attack on Edo, so we must take all measures to defend."

They were two monsters with a length of [-] meters, the whole body was black and covered with iron armor, and on the high side of the ship, three large chimneys were emitting thick black smoke, and at the bow and stern, there were two huge cannons flying high. Looking at the muzzle, there is a cannon protruding from the hull on both sides, and the whole is like a hideous steel fortress.

"Our goals are only two, Edo, and Kyoto!"

Zhao Yuqi drew on the map with Yujian in her hand: "East Europe is closed and closed, and its perception of outside news is very weak. As long as Nagasaki is blocked, Japan will hardly receive any outside news."

Facing the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not want to compromise, or in other words, he would not admit defeat until he saw the true strength of the Ming army.

Yes, closing the door to the country also depends on how to close the door. If the Ming Dynasty can be defeated, then no one will dare to easily challenge the majesty of the shogunate in the future.

"Get ready, the time to decide the future of the shogunate is coming soon." Tokugawa Iemitsu said, his face was calm, but there was a faint excitement in his heart. He had never fought against the Ming army, so he really wanted to know. What kind of combat power did the Ming army have in order to occupy such a huge country, command so many people, and have so many countries surrender at the feet of the Ming emperor.

He was also eager to try that taste.

Following the order of the shogunate, the troops of the Tokugawa family began to mobilize. Samurai and ashigaru from all over the country rushed to Edo to prepare for the war. With the addition of soldiers and horses from the pro-vassal and genealogical generations, Edo soon gathered an army of more than [-]. Such a huge army gave Tokugawa Iemitsu great confidence:
Such a mighty army, even the Ming Dynasty, is not invincible, right?
