When Song Tong learned the news of the defeat, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
If the Second Army is defeated, it will be defeated. The 500 shi of food I poured out for you were all given to the Japanese pirates without even taking a few bites!
"Bastard! Mo Pu, that bastard! I told him to wait in Qingzhou, he must be greedy for credit and rush forward!"
"He can't escape the crime of losing troops and generals! This bastard!"
Song Tong yelled angrily.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Qingzhou was finally saved. Moreover, the Japanese pirates are not very strong. They just hit Mo Pu carelessly." Cui Qiang was afraid that Song Tong would do something bad, so he could only offer words of comfort.
"Hmph! That means Qingzhou can still be saved, otherwise I will have to capture and kill that shameless Mopu!" Song Tong snorted coldly.
Cui Qiang curled his lips, a few days ago you said he was reliable, but now you are not reliable again.
"Tomorrow the whole army will go north, Qingzhou cannot be lost again!" Song Tong said, patting the table.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent." Cui Qiang advised.
"Qingzhou is a fortified city, and it is also a city that is the focus of the Second Army's defense. With those three to four thousand soldiers and horses, defending against Japanese pirates is not a problem. Just give them some food and grass and let them defend Qingzhou."
"We will also go north as planned and clear out the Japanese pirates in Michigan along the way. This way, the army will not be too tired, and Michigan will be able to recover."
Cui Qiang's suggestion was to act slowly and steadily, and Song Tong became silent after hearing this.
"Um……"
"Okay. I'll listen to you then. But the Tokyo camp needs to take action and send some people to harass the Japanese pirates in Dengzhou to distract them from staring at Qingzhou."
Song Tong finally agreed with Cui Qiang's suggestion and also gave his own additional opinions.
"Okay. I will inform you soon. Your Majesty, please take a rest. It's been a long day and a night." Cui Qiang said, clasping his fists.
Cui Qiang went out, and Song Tong's anger subsided.
I just fell asleep and didn't even eat dinner.
Song Tong didn't wake up until noon the next day.
I called Cui Qiang over and learned that the Tokyo camp had been sorted out and that we could head north along the coast today.
The Tokyo Battalion has been reorganizing in Yuzhou yesterday.
Mainly the more than 3,000 people who recruited Matsushima Toda.
After a day of reorganization, the Tokyo Battalion expanded to 10,000 troops.
And Yuzhou was used as the main base of the Tokyo Camp in Henan Province.
Yuzhou can be controlled at the top and Laideng can be controlled at the bottom, and Huaiyang can be guarded at the bottom. It can be said that if Yuzhou is captured, the Japanese pirate defense barrier of Henan Road will be established.
An order was issued yesterday that the East Route Army will rest in Huairen for a day today.
The Second Army sent another 500 shi of food and grass over in the morning.
This time Song Tong issued a death order, asking Mo Pu to guard Qingzhou and not to advance eastward.
As long as Qingzhou is not lost, he will be considered guilty.
In fact, unlike what Song Tongduo said, Mo Pu really did not dare to take the risk to fight the Japanese pirates this time.
This defeat made him cast a shadow on the Japanese pirates again.
So before Song Tong's army arrived, he would just hide in Qingzhou City.
Everything is arranged properly.
Song Tong spread his pen and ink.
He wanted to write a battle report to Song Yang.
Yuzhou was captured, Huairen was restored, and the Japanese pirates in Haizhou were eliminated.
This is already considered a great victory, and Song Yang must be given good news.
Song Tong's letter was sent on February 16th.
Song Yang has been in Kaifeng recently.
Several heavy snowfalls in January made it difficult to travel on Hebei roads.
Song Yang didn't want the soldiers to go out in the wind and snow, so he simply kept the army in silence and waited for the spring to start fighting again.
The fourth general of the border army has received Song Yang's call and will arrive in Kaifeng in the next three to five days.
There were not many incidents in Song Yang, and the wars in various places were stable.
He then thought about bringing Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan, and of course the big baby steamed buns.
Song Yang still had to wait for the four generals of the border army in Kaifeng, so he asked Gongsun Qi to run an errand.
Of course, I also told him that he could bring Bai Xiaohua if he wanted to.
Gongsun Qi said that a child cannot live without his mother, and a father cannot live without his grandson.
So this matter can only be dropped.
Yu Ming wanted Gongsun Qi to take Xu Ling over.
However, Xu Ling was extremely busy and had no time to talk to Yu Ming.
The single-cylinder internal combustion engine has entered the final debugging stage and will be ready for actual testing soon.
As a main scientific researcher, Xu Ling cannot be separated for a moment.
Yu Ming had no choice but to remain a bachelor for a while longer.
At the end of February, Gongsun Qi had been away for several days, and the four generals of the frontier army were still on the road.
There was another heavy snowfall on Hedong Road, which separated the four people in Linfen. They could only wait for this wave of snow to pass before continuing their journey.
Song Yang didn't set a time for them, so they didn't have to rush to come.
The letter from Seventh Uncle Song Tong arrived first.
The red seal is a good thing at first sight.
When Song Yang opened the letter and read it, he immediately felt happy.
The Japanese pirates in Haizhou were pacified.
The anti-Japanese war achieved a decisive victory.
Once the Japanese pirates in Haizhou were wiped out, the Japanese pirates in Leiden Land could only be captured without restraint.
The remaining Japanese pirates in Hebei Province can be wiped out directly after the beginning of spring, when the wind and residual clouds are rolling.
"The war in Haizhou is over, and the East Route Army will march north to wipe out the Japanese pirates in Mizhou. Uncle Qi said that after Mizhou is defeated, he wants to rest in Qingzhou for half a month."
"That's right. The Eastern Route Army has been busy for most of the winter and needs to rest for a while."
When Song Yang saw that Song Tong said he wanted to rest for half a month, he immediately agreed.
"What about the Japanese pirates from Leiden..." the bearded man asked worriedly.
Song Yang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. The number of Japanese pirates in Leiden is very small. They were able to defeat the adapted second army because Mopu underestimated the enemy and was arrogant."
"The East Route Army is stationed in Qingzhou and the Gaomi front line, and the Japanese pirates can only be trapped along the coast of Leiden."
"The Tokyo Battalion is blocking the sea, and they don't even have a chance to go south. Either they have to retreat north, or they can sit back and wait for death in Leiden."
Continuing to read the letter, Matsushima Toda was mentioned.
This kid has a certain appeal among the Japanese pirate community.
Being able to gather three to four thousand Japanese pirates in a year is considered a good ability.
Moreover, after the investigation, it can basically be confirmed that Matsushima Toda did not do anything harmful to nature.
Therefore, the seventh uncle's opinion was to pardon Matsushima Toda and let him serve in the Tokyo Camp.
"Old Master, do you think this Matsushima Toda is available?" Song Yang looked at the old master and asked.
I read this letter while reading it, and the old master also knew the content of the letter.
The old master pondered for a while, stroking his beard and said: "Prince Tanzhou's suggestion is indeed advisable. The three current leaders of the Tokyo Battalion all came from the same master. As time goes by, it is inevitable that there will be two minds. If Matsushima Hu is allowed to
Tian's entry into Tokyo Camp should be able to play a containment role."
Song Yang nodded, silently leaning on the chair and thinking.
Everyone said nothing, they knew Song Yang was weighing the pros and cons.
It is indeed advisable to place Matsushima Toda in the Tokyo camp, but it is not certain whether he can play the greatest role.
If Matsushima Toda can be used alone, or even the Matsushima daimyo can be controlled, it will be much easier to invade Japan.
Song Yang opened his eyes, looked at the crowd and said: "If you want to do it, do something big! The Tokyo camp will remain unchanged and continue to expand operations. As long as Han Jin and the original team we gave are here, there will be no trouble."
"Build another battalion, named Nagasaki Camp, with Matsushima Toda as general!"
"The Japanese country has four major islands. If we want to attack the Japanese country, we might as well form four armies. Then there will be an army stationed on each big island. We are not afraid that the Japanese country will still stir up trouble!"
