In other words, according to the Japanese idea, as long as the North Korean army lands, it will always march along a certain route.

Chapter 669: Landing in Japan II

The army landed first, but the food and grass were still behind.This is not a land battle, and of course it is impossible to transport food and grass to the enemy's territory first.

Sure enough, as expected by the officers of the Ming army, after landing, the North Korean army huddled on the shore like ducks in the wild, and some even lost their companions.

"Boss, just ignore them like this?" The young officer who asked Shanwazi before looked at the messy beach and asked.

"Order, drive all the ships away, don't stay here." Shanwazi just glanced at the North Korean troops who had all disembarked and landed, and returned to the cabin without looking back after giving the order.

At first, these North Korean soldiers thought that the fleet was going back to transport food, but when they waited on the shore for two hours in a daze, they realized something was wrong.How can there be such a thing that can put tens of thousands of troops here without asking?What if they surrendered to the enemy?

Then, something interesting happened.The Japanese are not stupid either. Although there is no defense at the seaside, it does not mean that they do not send small troops to scout out the enemy's situation.After such a long time, of course Japanese reconnaissance soldiers will come to the shore.

"Japanese pirates!" The North Korean soldiers did not know who was the first to discover it. Suddenly, many people saw dozens of Japanese Japanese soldiers sneaking around in the distance.This appearance was incredible, and the North Korean soldiers seemed to be on a stimulant, rushing forward to fight.

North Korean soldiers have always been timid, but since the last time they attacked the Japanese main island, they have grown a lot more courageous.Most people, after defeating an opponent once, will not be timid the next time they meet.As for the Japanese soldiers, although they were afraid to see so many enemies, their hatred for the Korean soldiers was deep in their hearts.All of this stems from the war a few years ago.

In the end, the North Korean soldiers easily cleaned up the Japanese soldiers. There was too much difference in strength between the two sides, and there was nothing to talk about.But the problem is, the battle was won, and there is no place to claim credit. The fleet that left before never came back, and it took two days to leave.

If soldiers don't eat for two days, will they still stay where they are?That is from later generations, not the Korean army of this era.The tens of thousands of troops had nothing to eat, so they could only be robbed.Fortunately, although Japanese people are not rich, they still have something to eat.Just when the Japanese were preparing to assemble troops to deal with the North Korean troops that had already landed, tens of thousands of bandits appeared in the southeastern part of the main island of Japan. .

On the fourth day, the fleet returned.However, there were not many ships coming back, only twenty ships. Obviously, these ships were not here to pick up the North Korean soldiers.Along with the ship came back, of course, the order.The order is very simple, these ships are to transport supplies, ammunition, food, and Ming coins.However, these things are not military pay or rewards, but commodities.

Want food and ammo?Easy to handle, get something in exchange.What is it?Japanese women and children. Japanese women under the age of 30 and children under the age of five have to live.The requirement is very simple, whoever is capable of fighting, the more heads they get, the more things they can exchange.Capable Korean soldiers can even earn a lot of Ming money, and then go to Ming Dynasty to have fun.

Are the Japanese stupid?Women and children have been snatched away. Does this nation have a future?If North Korean soldiers want to rob people, they must pay a lot.

But, do you think Korean soldiers can be incorporated by the Japanese?The two of them are now feuds.If this matter is done by an organized army, not to mention that North Korea is still a kingdom educated by Confucianism, even if it is done, it will be a tool for a few military officers to make money, and soldiers may not be able to do it. Not every country is like The Japanese army is such a beast.

Therefore, this matter can only be done by soldiers, not by the army!Soldiers are bandits, and it is normal for bandits to do bad things.But the military will have a very bad influence.

In the next few days, an unprecedented population trading market appeared on the coast.The trades were all young women and children, and it is unknown how many men died among them.

The most direct impact of this incident is that many North Koreans have found a way to make a fortune. As long as they are willing to take risks, they can save enough money in a short period of time to enjoy the blessings of the Ming Dynasty.The human market on the coast has existed for a short time, but the hidden human market has existed for more than ten years.Because of the demand in the buyer's market, North Korean human traffickers have always been a nightmare for the Japanese.

Some people say that I still like to watch the killing of the Japanese on the battlefield, but in Zhu Youjian's view, the kind of killing that is carried out by the army is not worth showing off no matter how passionate it is.What's more, we always say that most Japanese people are still good.As for the right-wingers in Japan, they are actually these royalists. It is precisely the best way to eliminate them by other means.

Let's say that Zheng Chenggong brought the most elite fleet of Ming Dynasty to the harbor of Aichi County after three days of sailing.Aichi Prefecture is very famous in Japan. The three heroes of the Warring States Period in Japan all came from Aichi Prefecture.In other words, from here to the north, it belongs to the base area under the control of the shogunate.In fact, the loyalty of the Japanese shogunate to the royal family is far less strong, otherwise it would not be called the shogunate era.

As the county capital of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya has always been in the hands of the shogunate, so the landing of the Ming army did not require any war at all.The battle between the royalists and the shogunate was in Yonehara in the north.

Yonehara is the traffic artery where the east and west of Japan's main island meet. Capture Yonehara, and then go down along Lake Biwa, all the way to Kyoto.On the contrary, if Yonehara is lost, the royalists can overwhelm Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture with heavy troops.

Abe Tadaaki, a senior official of the official shogunate, rushed over to greet Zheng Chenggong.

The shogunate originally thought that the Ming army had just sent a fleet, but after the entire fleet arrived, they realized that it was far from being as simple as a navy.

"Let me introduce. This is General Li Laiheng from Ming Dynasty, and this is senior Abe Tadaaki, a Japanese veteran." Zheng Chenggong pointed to the face of a young general and introduced Abe Tadaaki.

"General Li?" Abe Tadaaki was stunned.He never thought about which general of the Ming army would be worthy of Zheng Chenggong's introduction.No matter how stupid a person is, he also understands that he is definitely not an ordinary character.

"From the moment General Li landed, half of my mission has been completed. As for the matter of setting foot on land, General Li will preside over it." Zheng Chenggong smiled bitterly.

"Guo Xing is right. I was ordered by the emperor to command the army to fight against the land." Li Laiheng was not humble at all, and directly announced the fact that he had replaced Zheng Chenggong.

Abe Tadaaki was stunned for a long time before he realized that the Ming army was planning to directly intervene in the battle in Yonehara.Seeing groups of elite Ming soldiers passing by in front of him, Tadaki Abe felt joy or sadness in his heart.

Chapter 6 Seventy: Landing in Japan III

The main force that landed from Aichi County was the only marine corps of the Ming army, which was an entire army.

If you want to say the difference between Ming's marine warfare equipment and other field armies, it is that there is no organized cavalry. .War horses are delicate war materials, and a large number of war horses are transported across the strait by boat. Even if the horses do not get seasick, it will take time to recover their combat power.The main island of Japan is mountainous, and the area around Tokyo is the largest plain, and the terrain is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.

Of course, the Japanese army also had cavalry. It is said that Japanese war horses are very ordinary. The cavalry charges of the Japanese army during the Warring States Period were all small groups of troops.However, considering that the Japanese cavalry were all samurai and wore the famous Japanese armor, their personal combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Let’s focus on the Japanese samurai and armor. The samurai are well-equipped from armor to swords and guns;In addition, the Japanese armor itself is a cavalry armor specially made for the samurai class. A good armor is much stronger than full protection.

However, no matter how strong an individual's combat power is, it depends on whether it is tough enough when facing the new weapons of the Ming army.No matter how high your martial arts are, you will be afraid of bayonets; no matter how big your armor is, you will be knocked down with one shot!

Although there is no perverted thing like a machine gun, if it is just a small-scale cavalry, it will not be threatening to the Ming army that has already used breech-loading guns.Of course, another reason why Zhu Youjian sent the marines to fight was to train the combat effectiveness of this army.

"General Li has worked hard! This is a small gift from my general, please accept it with a smile." Although Abe Tadaaki's heart twitched, he still expressed what should be expressed.A list of combat materials prepared by the shogunate was handed to Li Laiheng by Tadaaki Abe with both hands.

"Thank you, Abe-sama. Things will be temporarily stored in Nagoya, and all supplies for our army during the battle will be fully complicated by the logistics fleet." Li Laiheng politely declined Abe Tadaki.

If you don't accept it, you actually don't like it at all.The things prepared by the shogunate are far from the daily supply of the Ming army itself.Perhaps the shogunate still treats the Ming army as the Korean army!

"Since this is the case, please rest your army in Nagoya." Tadaaki Abe is also capable. He doesn't want the Ming army to get involved in the war between the shogunate and the royalists now. After all, it is a foreign army. The shogunate wants to Let the Ming army stay in one place and take a look as a bystander first.

Ever since the Ming army set foot on the main island of Japan, they did not expect the army of the shogunate to help them at all.In the turmoil in Japan, a large number of traditional samurai classes have become more like royalists, and the army organized by the shogunate has been in decline after 50 years.Therefore, if Zhu Youjian does not act, there will definitely be another right-wing Japan in this civil war.

"No, our army is about to set off. Lord Abe, please send a guide to lead our army to the front line." Li Laiheng said proudly with his head raised.

"Alright then." Abe Tadaaki didn't say much, the army had already landed, and the shogunate was unable to keep the Ming army in Nagoya.

One hundred miles from Nagoya to Yonehara, and it is still a big road. This line is actually an important logistics supply line for the shogunate army, so marching is not difficult.The only difficulty is crossing the Kisogawa River north of Nagoya.Kisogawa is the name of the river.At this time, the Nagoya Canal had not yet been excavated, so after crossing the Kiso River, we arrived at Ogaki, where the combat headquarters of the shogunate army was located.

The frontline general of the shogunate is Sakai Chukiyoshi, while the opponent of the royalist party is Arisugawa Palace, the standard royal prince.These two people are not ordinary people in history.

"Hey! Look, what kind of army is that?" Far away, when the tall Ming army appeared in Ogaki, it immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers.

The fancy-dressed Japanese soldiers had never seen an army in green with a big green cloth bag on their backs.Except for the white face of the soldiers in front of them, there was not an inch of nakedness on their bodies. Could it be that their armors were also green?

The Japanese soldier's foot shape is exaggerated, and it fits on these people who are only 1.3 meters long, like a yellow, red and black hedgehog spitting, especially the strange bun among these people.The Ming army is very unified, and everyone has a round helmet on their head.

"Master Sakai, this is General Li of the Ming Dynasty." As the main coordinating official in the middle, Abe Tadaaki did not let go of his responsibilities, but followed Li Laiheng directly to Ogaki, which can be regarded as a very responsible official.

However, the generals of both sides looked down on each other. Sakai Zhongqing, who was 1.4 meters tall, looked up at Li Laiheng, who was 1.8 meters tall, and did not make a sound.But Li Laiheng was even more amazing, he glanced at the dwarf standing in front of him with his lowered eyelids, and then glanced at the other's face, directly admiring the decoration of the helmet on Sakai Tadaki's head.Two rows of red "curlers" look like women's buns.Li Laiheng couldn't help stretching out his hand, and pinched it with two fingers, but it was still made of iron.

"Baga!" Sakai Tadaki was furious, why didn't he see that the big man in front of him was insulting his proud armor with a molesting expression.

"Hey! You're quite angry." Zhang Guangqi and Lin Yinguan, Li Laiheng's lieutenants, pushed Sakai Zhongqing away, and pushed each other several steps away.

Sakai Tadaki was naturally not reconciled to being humiliated, he immediately turned around, and pulled out his waist knife in a jerk, his movements were very skillful.

"Kungfu is not bad! Come and taste the fragrance of grandpa's peanuts." Lin Yinguan didn't like this, and pulled out the revolver at his waist.

By the way, because the production technology of metal bullets could not be realized, the Ming army was equipped with a revolver, but the loading capacity was only three rounds, and the bullets were still made of paper.However, because of the simple structure of the revolver, the range of this gun is only 40 meters, which is equivalent to the three-eyed gun previously equipped by the Ming army, but it is faster than the three-eyed gun.The three-eyed blunderbuss is a shotgun, the range is not far, and it needs to be ignited on the spot. This revolver fires a bullet, which can be shot three times in a row and can be reloaded. It can be said that it is very popular among officers.

Sakai Tadaki has never seen this kind of firearm, but he is not stupid. After all, the one on his forehead is a cold iron guy with a black hole. No matter how you look at it, it looks like something that can kill you.Anyway, iron cannons were popular during the Warring States period in Japan, and this thing is somewhat similar to iron cannons in structure.

Well, put a gun to your forehead, admit it!

"Wow, wow da siwa!" Lin Yinguan saw that the kid in front of him was pretending to be a grandson very quickly, and it changed into a smiling face in a blink of an eye.In fact, the Japanese are like this. They are fierce when they come up, but when they meet a strong opponent, they know that they can't do it, so they immediately pretend to be grandsons.

"Don't talk nonsense with them, order the whole army to set up camp immediately. Prepare meals at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, and set off as soon as possible to survey the position." Li Laiheng is not interested in listening to Sakai Zhongqing talking about birds here. He has already seen this short Japanese general to death. Just a scheming bitch, not a serious one.
