Chapter 512 Breaking the army into a desperate situation
"Onboard~!"
"fuego~!"
Ta da da, da da da...
In a dense jungle, the Japanese, who were in dire straits, launched a board-mounted charge with strong inertia, and what responded to their roar was the cold mechanical sound of the Maxim heavy machine guns of the Spanish New Army.
"Gongfang Hall, the enemy is coming soon, you'd better leave quickly!"
Looking at his subordinates with stains on their faces and blood all over their bodies, Tokugawa Yoshinao really wanted to cry without tears.
What's going on in this world? After all, I know a lot about military matters among the time travelling. Even though I was suppressed by the old Tokugawa turtle at the beginning, the technology tree has not climbed very slowly. How come I have been basking in the sun in Hawaii for more than two years? This Spanish
Do you even have heavy machine guns and breech-loading guns?
How do Japanese soldiers with front-loaded flintlock rifles fight with their Indian allies?
In June 1619, after the defeat in the Battle of Kyoto, Tokugawa Yoshinao fled to Hawaii and successfully arrived in August of that year.
Since Siam was defeated in 1618, Tokugawa Yoshinao at that time had already had a premonition of Japan's defeat. Therefore, he prepared for the escape for a long time in advance. In addition to three thousand elite flags on hundreds of retreating ships,
He also took over 20,000 strong Japanese men and women hostage. In addition, he also disassembled and shipped the complete set of equipment of the newly built gun factory, and also brought a lot of raw materials such as saltpeter.
After arriving in Hawaii, except for the time when Zheng Wei and others encountered a Japanese cruise fleet and fought a battle when they returned from America, the rest of their lives were basically comfortable.
Naturally, the native Hawaiians had little resistance against the elite Japanese troops, and they were taken down with just a touch. Although this place is small and lacks resources, it has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. To be honest, they
The more than 20,000 people I brought with me were panicked when they first arrived in Hawaii, but it didn't take long before they completely fell in love with the place and settled down.
This kind of stability is also what Tokugawa Yoshinao needs: if the general abandons his country and flees overseas, his subordinates' loyalty and trust in him will definitely be greatly reduced. If he doesn't take the time to win over again, he cannot guarantee the stability of his status at all. So when he arrived in Hawaii
In the first two years, Tokugawa Yoshinao honestly sunned himself in Hawaii. Even though the Philippines was still in the hands of the Spanish at that time and the treasure fleet sailed through the waters near Hawaii every year, he had no intention of robbing.
Because Hawaii is too small and too far away, Zhu Youdong and Phillip didn't bother to trouble him for the moment: anyway, travelers have precise positioning capabilities for each other, can you still develop in Hawaii? When will it be free?
Just go there yourself.
Originally, these comfortable days could last for a while, but at the end of 1620, an earthquake occurred in the waters near Hawaii, which triggered a tsunami. This made the Japanese, whose bodies were almost completely soft, once again alert: We, the Yamato nation, have been struggling for thousands of years
Isn’t it because the mainland is barren and natural disasters like earthquakes continue to cause us to tirelessly covet the land on the western mainland? Is it possible that we really can’t live as savages on this island for the rest of our lives? It doesn’t matter if we remain savages for the rest of our lives, what about our descendants?
The idea of playing out has once again become mainstream.
Tokugawa Yoshinao then made good preparations: the army expanded, absorbing 1,000 people from the 20,000 men he brought with him, and another 1,000 people from the local indigenous people.
After the army expanded to 5,000 men, he left 500 men to look after his home. He took 4,500 men to the sea and headed east in April 1621, and successfully landed on the North American continent in early June of that year.
The landing site was carefully selected by Tokugawa Yoshinao: north of California, at the junction of the two states of Washington and Oregon in the 21st century.
In this era, this place was densely forested and the land was fertile. The tall Rocky Mountains blocked the arctic cold current from the direction of Canada in the north, ensuring that the annual minimum temperature in the area was only minus five degrees Celsius. The Okanogan Plateau had the first development
With all the resources possessed by the Industrial Revolution, the Columbia Basin is suitable for the development of agriculture... Of course, the most important thing is that it has not been colonized by Spain or other white European countries, so there are no less than ten Indians living here.
It is a huge treasure trove of human resources.
In Tokugawa Yoshinao's view, the core interests of Spain's colonies in the Americas are still in Central and South America. North America is just a piece of California, which is considered a corner. Now that I am outside your corner, I have no interest in Spain.
The excitement of Gemini should be very small - further north is Canada, which is too cold to really develop.
Arriving in June 1621, life was relatively comfortable until the beginning of 1622: there were 100,000 Indians in this place, but they belonged to more than 200 tribes, and some of the tribes did not speak the same language.
Over the years, various tribal vendettas have led to eternal hatred - there is no way to unite to deal with them.
Therefore, within a few months, the Japanese rapidly expanded their power and discovered several large coal and iron mines. New artillery factories and other things were also under construction in full swing. At the beginning of this year,
Even a large area of paddy fields has been sorted out, and the rice seedlings will be planted when the weather gets warmer!
Unfortunately, this good momentum came to an abrupt end in February 1622.
As a time traveler, Tokugawa Yoshinao certainly sensed that Tianxuan had come to America - this was really beyond his expectation. Hey, Your Majesty Philip, aren't you afraid that I will tell Tianxuan the truth and turn your brothers against each other?
Regarding the relationship between Tianshu and Tianxuan, he had also discussed it incidentally when he had an alliance with Luocha Buddha. At that time, Luocha Buddha pointed out that according to Philip's own letters and the descriptions of Western missionaries, the cooperation between Tianshu and Tianxuan
They are very close and well coordinated. When this situation occurs, there must be someone who does not know all the rules of the game. And it is most likely Prince Rudolf whose natal star is Tianxuan.
However, Tokugawa Yoshinao could not control what Philip thought, but he had to face Rudolf's brutal attack.
After the prince came to America, he went to Mexico City to take charge, summoning the governors of various governorates in turn to consolidate logistical support. However, the army he had trained with his own hands was not idle.
From February of this year, Spain's new army began to enter the dense forests on a small scale to conduct reconnaissance of its own forces.
What annoyed Tokugawa Yoshinao the most was that last year he landed here, thanks to the disunity of the Indians, so he quickly gained a foothold. But now, it is also because of the disunity of the Indians that it is easy for the Spaniards to
I found the guide: Tribe A has followed the Japanese, so Tribe B and Tribe A have been vendetta against each other for a thousand years. There is absolutely no reason to rely on the Japanese. Now it seems that the more powerful white people are here, so we should rely on the white people.
.
Therefore, the number of Indians on the Tokugawa side often means how many Indians the Spaniards have as guides - the dense jungle is no longer a refuge for the Japanese.
Due to the generation difference in weapons and the huge manpower gap (the new army Spain sent to the Americas was three divisions with 45,000 men), after the Spaniards figured out the situation and launched a truly large-scale attack, the Japanese simply could not stop them.
Especially after Rudolf went north in person at the end of March this year, due to the precise positioning of the time travellers, wherever Tokugawa Yoshinao appeared, he would be attacked by the opponent. And Tokugawa Yoshitsune was Japan after all.
The Japanese had to desperately rescue the leader of the people.
If this is done, guerrilla warfare cannot be fought, and protracted war is even more nonsense. The Japanese have been fighting the Spaniards for two months with one-tenth of their troops and weapons that are a whole generation behind them. It can be said that they are already quite tenacious.
.
But no matter how tenacious the warriors were, they could not hold on by May of this year: all the strongholds had been lost, and the remaining more than a thousand Japanese retreated to the deep mountains and old forests. However, due to the shining lighthouse of Tokugawa Yoshinao,
Now, the Spaniards never worry about not finding the target - the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.
As for retreating, don't think about returning to Hawaii. Rudolf was a soldier, and he would not make such a common-sense mistake: the fleet he brought from Spain was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean at this time, but it retreated from the Far East.
The fleet that arrived in America was docked on the Pacific coast! Not to mention that the Ming army was so happy to surrender to the Spaniards that it didn't embarrass the Spanish in the Philippines. Let's just talk about the 'Aragon' docked on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean now.
Aren't they pushing all the Japanese warships all the way? Therefore, the Japanese fleet has long been completely destroyed by the Spaniards.
"You can't fight, you can't walk. You really have to survive in death." After being hungry for two days, Heisei Abandoned House, who was afraid of death and pain, finally figured it out: "Here, come, raise a white flag and go out to negotiate. I
