The Japanese army sent a total of 60,000 troops this time. Using the seaport of Kagoshima Castle as the base point, it accumulated a large amount of baggage and gathered all the remaining 300 warships (sampans) in the country here. With its own
With the absolute advantage of the number of troops, they successively captured the Oshima, Tokunoshima and Okinagabu Islands of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The Ryukyu Kingdom also devoted its entire country to cobbling together an infantry army of more than 34,000 people, and deployed most of the infantry in the Ishikawa area, taking advantage of the mountainous terrain and rear supply lines to fight with
The Japanese army fought a tug-of-war here for half a year!
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army was often forced to retreat due to lack of supplies, thus forming today's stalemate!
However, according to the information that Shangyun (Wang Wenshuo) brought when asking for help, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was currently building a new warship in the military port in Kobe, and wanted to use this as a starting point to directly transport 30,000 new troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The southernmost point of the city, and captured Naha Castle in one fell swoop, forming a simultaneous encirclement and pincer attack from the north and south! Completely annihilating the main force of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Therefore, the main targets identified by most school officials are Kagoshima, Kobe, and finally Ishikawa's remnant army...
It has to be said that this strategy of cutting off the grain road first and then attacking it is very sound and is the key to victory in this battle. However, there is still one of the biggest difficulties, which is the coastal defense of Kagoshima and Kobe Ports.
Picture! We don’t have it!
The result of an attack without a coastal defense map is very likely to be that the warships hit the rocks and most of them were damaged before the battle began! This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Yan Bing! Therefore, obtaining the coastal defense map is the top priority at the beginning of this battle.
!
Or... first rely on the Ryukyu coastal defense map brought by Shang Yun to resolve the crisis in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then obtain the Japanese coastal defense map from the Ryukyu royal family!
Or... just find a way to obtain the coastal defense map directly from the Japanese! But this also means that they have to risk running aground on the rocks and forcefully land on the island...
Because just being close to the coast of the main island of Japan is already full of dangers and difficulties!
And this... is also the main reason why the Japanese country has not been conquered by many Central Plains dynasties for thousands of years!
Because of countless undercurrents and reefs, this island has long been armed into a "hedgehog"! The island country... is both its sorrow! It is also its luck!!
After stating all this, Yan Bing slowly put down the finger stick in his hand, looked at the generals in the tent, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone... you can tell me any strategies or strategies, everyone.
Let’s discuss together!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the school officials immediately began to discuss among themselves...
"This Ryukyu Kingdom is so unkind! They only gave us a few coastal defense maps of Ryukyu, but not those of Japan! This is because they are afraid that we will attack Japan first and then come back to deal with them!"
"Hey~~ As a small country, you must be more careful. After all, the Japanese country will be destroyed by us, and there will be no need for Ryukyu to exist, right?"
"But isn't it the same if he gave us his coastal defense map? If we want to beat him, isn't it just a matter of raising our hands?"
"It's different, it's different... When the time comes, he can turn to Japan and join them in fighting us!"
"Hey! This sneaky trick has gone so far..."
"Tsk! We're talking about the war! Why are you talking about the founding of the country? That's not what we should care about! Let's think about how to attack first!" Bayi Chinese website
"What a nonsense! The only way left is to resolve the danger under Ryukyu City first! Only in this way is the safest way!"
"Yes... but why am I so unwilling to fall into their trap!! Too special girl is so awkward! I feel uncomfortable all over!!"
"Who says it's not the case...sigh..."
"I have something for you——!! I would like to present it to the commander-in-chief——!!"
Just when the generals were at a loss and ready to surrender and follow the wish of the old King of Ryukyu Kingdom, a loud voice suddenly came!
Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw that he was a "newcomer" in the army. In the past two years, he had been highly regarded by Zhao Kaixuan for his ability to manage the army and attack in a well-mannered manner. He was promoted from a member of the Qianhu family to a member of the army.
General!
Of course Yan Bing knows this person...
Or to be precise...the reason why Yan Bing talked so much nonsense before was because he was waiting for him to jump out...
"When I was young, I often traveled to Nagasaki Port in Japan with my uncle and adoptive father to do business. I stayed here for many years! I also have some coastal defense maps of Nagasaki Port hidden in my home! I would like to present them to the commander.
!!”
What kind of merchant? It’s just smuggling and part-time piracy!!
Yan Bing smiled happily, and naturally he would not take the initiative to expose the other party's unbearable "past". After all, how Zheng Zhilong started his business back then is basically known to everyone on earth who has a little knowledge of the history of the late Ming Dynasty, so why bother to point it out?
…
So Yan Bing immediately pretended to be overjoyed and asked loudly: "Seriously!!??"
Zheng Hailong slowly walked out of the queue, bowed his hands...
"In front of the coach... the general will not dare to lie..."
If you don’t dare to lie, why are you avoiding the important and taking the easy?? Yan Bing wanted to laugh when he heard this sentence...
"Get it quickly! If there is such a picture! General Zheng should be the first to take credit!!"
"Follow the order! The general will go get it right now!! It's just..." Zheng Hailong was in trouble again at this moment. He pondered for a while before replying in a low voice: "It's just that the general's house... is within the walls of the commander's palace.
Inside, it will take some time to get back and forth..."
"Hey~ How could I not know this! Go and get it! It happens that the infantry will arrive in two or three days! It's enough for you to make a round trip!!"
"Yes!! General Mo will set off now!!"
"return!!"
"ah……??"
Zheng Hailong looked back in confusion, but was pushed out of the tent by the coach. At this time, he became even more confused...
Li Bing called him and pulled him out of the tent, naturally because of his own personal matters...
"Um...after you return home...if you are asked by my wife, just say it was a military war, and don't mention the woman who accompanied me into the camp! You...understand what I mean...
?”
Zheng Hailong suddenly understood and quickly answered: "The general really doesn't understand what the coach means!! It's obvious that the coach came alone!!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bing was instantly overjoyed. He patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "You have a bright future!! You will be promoted soon!!"
"It all depends on the training of the coach..."
"Well... let's go!! Bring more guards on the way!"
"yes!!"
………………
After seeing off Zheng Hailong, Yan Bing was in a good mood. He turned around and returned to the tent with his hands behind his back, shouting loudly: "The meeting is closed——!!"
