In the Japanese Hyogosu, along with the continuous sound of shelling, the entire port was turned into ruins. The heavy troops deployed by the shogunate here suffered heavy losses.
Even the guardian Motohide Uehara died under the bombardment. With the group leaderless, the remaining samurai, ashigaru, etc. were like headless flies.
While looking at the Ming army landing near the port with fear, he hesitated as to whether to muster up the courage to fight the Ming army or to escape with his life.
The Ming army only encountered a little symbolic resistance at the dock where they landed. Some unsighted people tried to prevent the army from landing, but were easily taken away by the new muskets.
After occupying the pier and bombarding the port, the army quickly landed, and then groups of Ming troops began to clean up the entire Hyogo Prefecture in an orderly manner.
"Give me some sand~"
A group of Japanese warriors with more than a hundred ashigaru guarded an intersection. When they saw a large group of Ming troops approaching, these Japanese warriors drew their katana swords and rushed forward.
"First team~aim and fire~"
Seeing someone rushing up, the Ming army organized into three ladder-shaped teams. As the captain's voice fell, intensive gunshots rang out, a burst of white smoke rose, and the samurai and ashigaru who rushed at the front fell instantly.
.
"Second team, aim and fire~"
Without emotion, the second team of musketeers opened fire quickly, like waves of wheat blown by the wind. The Japanese warriors and soldiers fell in the wind, with small holes in their bodies and blood flowing freely.
With just two waves of musket attacks, more than a hundred samurai and ashigaru fell into a pool of blood. Some of the survivors were wailing in pain, but soon there were ordinary Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding profits.
ended their suffering.
"Take a break~ Stand at attention and start walking~"
As for the students of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy who had just wiped out more than a hundred Japanese pirates, they gathered their team again and marched towards the next place in an orderly procession. There was a feeling of letting go and hiding their merits and fame.
.
In an alley, several Japanese warriors' swordsmanship was extremely terrifying. With just four of them, more than twenty Ming soldiers had fallen to them.
The samurai swords in the hands of the four of them were like the soul-enchanting pen of the judge of hell. The cold light flashed, indicating that one of the Ming soldiers must fall.
Because the swordsmanship of the four men was so powerful that none of the Ming soldiers at the entrance of the alley dared to charge forward for a while.
"The third class of the first phase of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy requests instructions~"
Soon, a group of musketeers with muskets arrived.
"These four Japanese pirates killed more than 20 of our brothers and killed them with muskets."
Seeing the arrival of people from the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, the man in charge here breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen the horror of muskets.
"Yes~"
The squad leader of Class Three immediately saluted.
"Everyone listen to the order and prepare for three-stage shooting~"
"First team, aim and fire~"
Without any hesitation, the people in the third class aimed their muskets at the four Japanese warriors in the alley, and then bursts of intense gunfire rang out.
"Bang~bang~"
Being targeted by muskets, the four of them instinctively felt fear, but being surrounded in this small alley, they had no way of escaping.
Before they could react, intensive gunshots rang out, and after a burst of thick smoke, the four people soon fell into a pool of blood.
No matter how good they are in swordsmanship, they are still mortal bodies. Among cold weapons, they are masters, top masters. They can kill more than twenty Ming soldiers, which shows that their swordsmanship has reached an extremely terrifying level.
But in the face of such hot firearms, the samurai sword in his hand was ultimately no match for the musket attack.
"Pa~"
Seeing the four men lying in a pool of blood, the three squadrons of musketeers retreated in unison, with a unified voice as if they were one person. This made the other Ming soldiers on the side couldn't help but look at them differently.
"Report, complete the task, please give instructions~"
The squad leader of the third class saluted to the hundred households.
The eyes of hundreds of households were wide open. Although they had already known how powerful these musketeers were, seeing them with their own eyes now opened their eyes.
Even a hundred-household team could do nothing against the four warriors, but the musketeers in front of them killed four masters with just one round of shooting.
"Thank you~"
Baihu looked at the neat team of the other party, with determined eyes, coupled with the handsome uniforms and the strange military salute. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He could only say thank you and express his gratitude.
"Salute~"
The squad leader of the third squad gave the order, and immediately the entire third squad saluted the other Ming troops present.
"Let's go together~"
Then, without waiting for anyone to say anything, he took his class and continued to rush to other places.
Scenes like this happened throughout Hyogo-no-tsu Port. Some of the remaining Japanese pirates were unwilling to fail and rose up to resist. However, they were all like mantises using their arms as chariots, leading to their own destruction.
The samurai of the Japanese country were superb in swordsmanship, but when faced with the Ming army dispatched in groups and armed to the teeth, all resistance was eliminated in a very short period of time.
The 5,000 heavy troops stationed by the shogunate could not hold on for even a day before they collapsed.
More than a thousand people died under intensive artillery attacks, and then more than a thousand were killed by the Ming army. The remaining nearly two thousand people chose to surrender.
The huge gap in numbers, coupled with the huge gap in equipment, determined from the beginning that this would be a one-sided massacre without any suspense.
Liu Jin walked with Zhang Mao on Hyogojin, constantly inspecting every place here. This time when they attacked Hyogojin, the Ming army suffered casualties, but fortunately they were not many, with less than a hundred casualties.
Most people can be treated.
The armor produced by Miyun Iron Factory is of very good quality, very light, but has excellent defensive effect. As long as the injury is not fatal, the armor will basically not die and can be rescued and treated in time.
"These Japanese warriors are good swords. Perhaps when we fight in other parts of the world in the future, we can recruit some Japanese warriors to act as vanguards."
Liu Jin listened carefully to the report. The casualties this time were mainly samurai from Japan.
These Japanese warriors are very brave, and their sword skills are very powerful. In many cases, if these Japanese warriors get close, they will cause huge casualties in an instant.
Liu Jin was thinking about whether he could recruit some Japanese warriors to fight in all directions. For example, he could recruit some Japanese warriors to fight in the Nanyang region and deal with the indigenous people in the Nanyang region.
During the great maritime colonial era in history, whether it was Britain, France, or even Russia, they recruited a large number of people from the colonies to help them conquer more colonies.
For example, when the British ruled India, they recruited a large number of Asans from India to serve as thugs. The name Indian Asans came from Shanghai at the beginning, because there were a large number of Indians in the British army at that time.
people.
Not to mention France. Until the 21st century before Liu Jin traveled through France, there were foreign legions in France. During the Age of Discovery in history, colonial soldiers were often used to conquer other colonies. Anyway, it was not the French who died.
Just give me some rice and food and someone will work for you, it's simple and easy.
There are also Cossack cavalry here in Russia. The famous Cossack cavalry in history belongs to this type. They specially recruited a large number of cavalry to help them attack wider lands.
These Japanese people are definitely a very good source of soldiers.
Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew that the Japanese people had a warrior spirit, a strong will to fight, good organization, strong critical learning ability, and extremely good at war.
This is much better than those African black uncles, Indian third brothers and the like.
In this era, both the Japanese warriors and the people of the Japanese country basically lived in very poverty. As long as they had money, food, and the status of the Ming suzerainty, it was definitely not difficult to recruit a group of Japanese warriors to serve as thugs.
Liu Jin estimated that as long as the Japanese country was defeated this time, the Japanese country would definitely be very obedient, and in the future, Japanese warriors could be recruited from the Japanese country in batches to serve as the vanguard of the colonial world.
Anyway, the new hot weapons cannot be controlled by them, and the old cold weapons will be eliminated sooner or later. This way, they can ensure that they can control this knife at any time.
Finally, I brainwashed them carefully. Why has the Ming Dynasty been very good to the Japanese people? The two countries have been friendly for generations. More importantly, they are of the same origin and have a common culture. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the object of allegiance to all the Japanese people.
.
I believe that in the end, these Japanese warriors will definitely become a sharp blade in the hands of Ming Dynasty.
"This is a good idea. You can let them do any dirty work, tiring work, or taking the blame. We are a Ming Dynasty, and our image is still very important."
When Zhang Mao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he thought for a moment and nodded.
"Damn~ Zhang Mao is quite insidious. I just want them to serve as colonial pioneers, but Zhang Mao wants them to take the blame. What a charlatan~"
When Liu Jin heard this, his understanding of Zhang Mao was refreshed in his heart.
However, Liu Jin deeply agreed in his heart. There must be a lot of shameful things to do in the colonial world, and if it was inconvenient for his Ming army to take action, he could let these Japanese take action.
"Not only the warriors of the Japanese country, I think we can also recruit some Korean warriors from North Korea in the future. After conquering the northern grasslands, we can also recruit some grassland cavalry. Anyway, as long as we are obedient, properly control the scale and quantity, and then adjust
If you use it in other places, it won’t be a big problem.”
Liu Jin thought for a while and said with a smile. He had already begun to think about how to defeat the Koreans and the northern grassland people. When he looked at the captured Japanese, his eyes shone slightly.
