Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"The path of war has never been a simple math game. There are many people who are new, of course they have the advantage, and even have the decisive advantage most of the time. However, there are always many miracles on the battlefield, because only people can decide war, and only people are the masters of war …"

At the bow of the Roman, Xiao Letian gazed at the dark blue sea water and the flying seabirds. Countless Japanese fishing boats and merchant ships were sent to the safe zone together at the front of the fleet.

Three battleships captured from the French, two frigate s and a frigate, this was not a powerful weapon that could be made in Asia. The tall buildings and the dense cluster of side cannons all proved the terrifying firepower of this battleship.

Xiao Letian's fleet did not hang any flags, all the Japanese s did not know who the owner of this fleet was. Although some clever merchants had guessed some clues, they would not inform anyone, because they knew that offending this fleet was equivalent to cutting off their own future path of wealth.

Xiao Letian took the latest information on his subordinates, and gathered Zai Chun, Pierre, Dragon Lord, Xiao Hexin, Cai Mao, Sima Yun, Sima Yun … Wait, high ranking officers. This is the last meeting before the war, the Bechuchi is just ahead and will be here in half an hour.

"Take a good look. The plans of De Chuan and the French have been completely exposed. The Bechuchi has been captured by Matsudaira Katamori and the French.

"Then, what does it mean to see the emergency intelligence that the Osaka City sent before he went into detail regarding the supply of rice and porcupine meat this morning? This means that Osaka City has already begun to mobilize urgently … "

"Pig meat? "Pork?" Pierre recalled the intelligence he had previously seen and asked puzzledly, "Doesn't Japanese not like to eat pork? I hear they think pork is unclean! "

"Piss off!" They were so poor that they couldn't afford it. How much food can Japan produce a year? "Of course, since Japan absorbed a lot of Tang and Song dynasties' culture, and the society of the Tang and Song dynasties really valued mutton and beef, this could also be considered as an excuse that the Japanese could come up with …"

"It is precisely because food is so scarce that the breeding industry in Japan has not been developed since ancient times. Limited rations have to be provided to people to eat. How can there be rich food to feed their livestock? It's not easy to have a few thin sheep and weak cows, so Japan's oceanic fishing industry is very developed, they have to steal food from the sea … "

"However, it cannot be denied that the meat provided by livestock, especially pork, which is rich in fats, provides much more energy than other foods. The fact that the Tokugawa is abnormally feeding the soldiers porcupine today means that today is the day of the final battle …"

"If my guess is not wrong, the Osaka City has already begun fighting and the scale must be huge!"

This was the first time Zai Chun had come into contact with actual combat. The small person's heart was currently filled with the fervor before battle, and the wild blood of his ancestors was starting to awaken. The dream of slashing the blades across the battlefield had always been sleeping deep in the Xiluo's family bloodline, waiting for the right time to boil.

"Master, can we still make it in time? Do we have a chance to fight? disciple, I am willing to fight, please give me a chance! "

Xiao Letian glared at him and said, "Go to the side and be a fool. How old are you? Zai Chun hid to the side to vent his anger after being scolded.

Xiao Letian then continued to analyze the situation with the other generals on the map. "If I were Tokugawa Yoshinobu, I would launch a counterattack on the allied army today, and it would be best if I did a field raid. It would be best if I ruthlessly humiliate the allied army leaders, and then force them to immediately pounce on the city …"

"That's right, we need to rush into the city. We need to let the alliance troops below Osaka City's tall city walls have the least amount of blood, and the last drop of sweat would drain the alliance's stamina and morale … When reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, a group of exhausted soldiers came face to face with the new army equipped with all the western style equipment. The consequences would be unthinkable! "

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and charge, bit the Dechuan New Army's tail, defeat the new army trained by this group of Frenchmen, then we will attack the Osaka City … " Luo Huo roared.

Xiao Hexin rolled his eyes as he said, "Nonsense, what good is there in doing this? Do you really think the Japanese is our friend? "This war must wait for both sides to draw the last drop of blood before we can act …"

Pierre added, "Yes, the essence of war is profit. Why are we giving so much money and weapons to the Southwest Tattoo? The goal is not to let them succeed, the Prime Minister's goal is to let our power penetrate deep into the Japan … "

Xiao Letian laughed and looked at the endless mountains outside the cave. "That's right, this country is full of warriors, and they all possess a strong sense of loyalty to the king. The Japanese samurai has not been enlightened yet. They have the thought of being loyal to the Lord, but they don't have the thought of being loyal to the nation.

"As long as we can prevent the formation of Japan's national concept, we can keep this almost perfect professional soldier system. This is our endless army camp!"

At this time, the army reporter, Lei Ao, had just finished taking a picture. He suddenly laughed and said, "Previously, I was chatting with Manager Fan Lian and Mr. Nuo Beier, and even talked about the situation of the gold and silver mines in Japan … "We know that in areas with complex geological structures and multiple volcanic earthquakes, the mineral resources will be very abundant …"

"The Japanese does not have good technology. If we were to introduce Prussian engineers, the amount of gold and silver in Japan would definitely increase by three times. The Prime Minister must not forget about this source of wealth!"

Xiao Letian laughed loudly, "That's right, war is about benefits, if there are no benefits, who would do it? Such a beautiful Japanese Islands, there is no need to industrialize it, it is better to protect it well, maybe it can develop its tourism industry in the future! "

"Alright, let's move faster. Attack the Bechuchi and seal off Osaka's Gulf with the army from the north!"

"Yes sir!" The generals acknowledged the order in unison and returned to their respective warships. The surprise attack was about to begin.

Xiao Letian gazed in the direction of the Osaka City and said thoughtfully, "Oh Tokugawa Yoshinobu, just what method would you use to enrage the Southwest Allied Army? Xi Xianglongsheng can now be considered a temporary famous general … "

The Japanese samurai had an abnormal obsession with honor. Tokugawa Yoshinobu's plan to ambush the Imperial Banner was the most effective tactic to enrage the allied army.

"Team Black Turtle …" Vermillion Bird Team... General's personal guard … "Big brother Duck …" The four hundred elite Warriors felt as if they were being stabbed by hot knives into butter. A ten meter long hole was torn open in Huashan Liyuan's feet.

All of the warriors wore sinister ghost masks, releasing ghostly cries that only hell could produce. Musketeers behind the fences was so scared that they forgot to put on ammunition.

The musketeers guarding the base camp still used an old pre-loaded spear. The gunpowder and bullets were separate bodies and could only be shot after they were tightly pressed down.

At this time, everyone finally understood what Matsudaira Katamori meant by "heart". Warriors with the Heart of Warriors could face the rain of bullets and charge fiercely. Those Musketeers without the Heart of Warriors could not even shoot effectively with the protection of the fence.

There were even some who peed on it, and the rhythmic firing of guns was also in chaos. One of the idiots actually wanted to take out a gun and shoot, but of course, the only consequence was that it exploded.

"I've broken through …" We're about to break through... Pull down the fence … " Dozens of ropes were thrown out and tied to the wooden fence, and the warriors pulled back with all their might.

"Roar …" Ha! Roar … Roar … "Ha!" Three simultaneous shouts and the fence crashed to the ground.

"Board load!" He broke through … The warriors rushed into the camp and like cutting vegetables, they knocked over the guards of the musketeers, causing the people who were charging to rush towards the Imperial Banner.

At this time, the Musketeers s behind the four hundred Warriors also went crazy, they did not care about Zhong Gangshentailang and Gao Shanjinzuo's attacks at all.

"Cover..." Cover the warriors with firepower... Kill your way in … Destroy the Imperial Banner! " There were only a little more than 1200 people left of the 3000 Musketeers s so far. The rate of casualties was already more than half, but their morale had not slackened at all.

"Death warrior!" All the Dragoons sent were death soldiers! How much gold would it take to boost morale … Oh, evil spirits! "

"Imperial Banner! Their target was actually the Imperial Banner … " Quick, retreat.

After the deep primary matrix, Prince Renhe's terrified fan fell to the ground. The 400 evil spirits charged towards the Imperial Banner, but there were only 50 monks under the banner praying to protect them. There were also a few grand officials.

The Imperial Banner was bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor, it represented the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor, how could the Tokugawa dare to be so rebellious! The prince was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Xi Xianglongsheng was also going crazy, "Help, help everyone! Protect the flag bestowed by the Sky Emperor! "

The entire battalion was thrown into chaos because of one flag. All the soldiers had lost their formations, and were now charging towards the flag in complete disorder. However, the time difference was too short for them to make up for it.

Fifty monks holding special Japanese razors began to scream and attack the warriors. A few priests wearing white robes pointed their fingers at the warriors and chanted some kind of incantation. They should be cursing these evil spirits for going to hell.

How could a few monks be the opponents of this group of God Slayer? After a charge, all the priests and monks were sent to hell, and a warrior from the Xuan Wu Squad was the first to rush under the Imperial Banner.

"I... Ginjin Black Turtle Team... The small island shooed... The flag is here! " That roar was like thunder, and it instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield.

"No …" The thirty thousand strong army suddenly roared together, Xi Xianglongsheng, Sakamoto Ryoma and the rest all fell to the ground together, "Sky Emperor! "The Celestial Emperor …"

In the distant Osaka City, there was dead silence, all the cheers and cheers were gone, everyone only had eyes on the flag, the Sky Emperor's Imperial Banner.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu held onto the telescope tightly. "Cut!" Slash! "Kill!"

On the small island, Katana flashed a cold light. The flag pole that was as thick as an arm broke, and the Imperial Banner fell down along with the flag pole.
