"Let Li Nian send two regiments to Hokkaido to help Tian Chuan clean up those "rats." Zhu Youjian's first order at the Supreme Military Council made Zheng Chenggong blush.

The Zheng family was not good at clearing and suppressing. After three years of fighting, it was the emperor's turn to clean up "rats".This has to be said to be quite correct.Li Nian's army has been specializing in cleaning up in the past few years, and Hokkaido itself has a similar climate to the Northeast, which is called specialization in the art industry.Only by helping the Zheng family to free up their hands is equivalent to adding another army to the Japanese main island.

"I agree with Zheng Aiqing's opinion. Focus on landing operations and seize the main cities in Japan. Li Laiheng's Marine Corps is dispatched, and the other military regions each send out a division to participate in the battle. Our army occupies a city and defends a city; as for the subsequent For law and order and bandit suppression, you can cooperate with the army of the shogunate, which can play the role of training." With the participation of the [-] North Korean army and the Marine Corps, Zhu Youjian did not plan to use the main force at all.

It must be said that the purpose of mobilizing troops to participate in the war is also for training.Each military region dispatches a division, and the intention is very obvious. Letting you go over is just to practice your skills.It is estimated that Li Laiheng was the one who attacked the city, while the army from each military region was the one who defended the city.

"For this battle, Zheng Aiqing will still be in command of the navy, and the naval battle and landing battle will be unified. As for the land battle, I decided to let Li." Zhu Youjian said this, and he glanced at Li Dingguo, who seemed a little calm.

"I decided to let General Li Laiheng command the land battle. From the landing battle to the defense of the land battle, Li Aiqing is very suitable." Zhu Youjian finally assigned this matter to Li Laiheng. Overkill.Besides, Li Laiheng's military talent is not bad, and he is very tenacious.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Youjian has always raised Li Dingguo, and the general will use him to great advantage.Excessive consumption of his energy is a huge waste.

Seeing that the meeting was over, Li Dingguo was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Ning Yu, will you have dinner with me later?" Zhu Youjian warmly invited him, which is a great way to save face.

"I obey the order." Li Dingguo agreed without hesitation, but his tone always made Zhu Youjian feel a little strange.For some reason, Zhu Youjian always felt that there was always some estrangement between the talent he valued the most and him, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

Zhu Youjian's food is much more delicious than that of ordinary emperors. In ancient times, the emperor's food was unpalatable.Because there are many rules in the palace, the emperor's food is not like that of Cixi.And the court dishes themselves are good-looking or not, but Zhu Youjian doesn't care about these, his dishes are all Jianghu dishes, no matter how delicious they are.

The dishes on this day were very rich, and Zhu Youjian treated the guests with full sincerity, and he ate heartily by himself; but Li Dingguo, who was sitting next to him, was constantly running nose and tears, these dishes were too heavy .

Li Dingguo has never seen a fish fillet soaked in a pot full of red peppers and peppercorns. How can Li Dingguo, who doesn't eat spicy food, eat it?

"I'm sorry, this boiled fish should be home-cooked. The chefs made it extra spicy according to my taste. It's really hard for you." Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed. He found that Li Dingguo had become a sausage mouth.

"It's an honor for the emperor to give you food... Ahhh!" Li Dingguo finally couldn't hold back, and sneezed.This time, Li Dingguo was ready to stand up and admit his mistake.

"Sit down, sit down quickly. Wang Chengen, serve tea." Zhu Youjian ordered.

Then Wang Chengen brought not only tea, but also a wet towel, which moved Li Dingguo.A seemingly simple and subtle movement, in the eyes of caring people, has already seen the difference between near and far.

"What do you think of the new gun?" Zhu Youjian tested Li Dingguo on the deployment of the new weapon.

"It's accurate, it's fast, and it's easy to carry. It's just that the charge is too much, and my shoulder hurts after a few shots." Li Dingguo said truthfully.

"Have you tried it?" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"Practice every day, and it's hard to beat 150 steps away." Li Dingguo replied.

"Do you think this kind of gun can deal with cavalry?" Zhu Youjian asked again.

"It's hard. Unless you make a gun that can never stop firing." Li Dingguo said to the point.

"Have you studied Japanese tactics at your military academy?" Zhu Youjian asked again.

"According to Qi Shaobao's summary of Japanese pirates' combat, Qi Shaobao believes that Japanese swordsmanship is simple, exquisite, and sharp; traditional swordsmanship is slow and difficult to match in close combat. Therefore, Qi Shaobao invented the wolf whisk, which pays attention to using length to defeat the enemy. The so-called "one inch long and one inch strong" in boxing. That’s exactly the reason.” Li Dingguo spoke with confidence, and it could be seen that the Military Academy had been studying combat strategies against Japanese samurai.

"That's right, the Japanese sword technique is different from my Ming's traditional sword technique, so I specially asked someone to design a super-long bayonet for the new gun, which is specially used to deal with Japanese swords in close combat. The Japanese are short and have short arms. Even if it is straightened, it can’t reach the bayonet point of the new gun. This weapon is tailor-made for the Japanese.” Zhu Youjian didn’t blush at all when he said this. The bayonet is as long as 72 cm, and the whole gun can be as long as 188. It is simply a restored spearman.

Therefore, the Japanese of later generations are very fond of the Chasaipo rifle, and even the Sanba Dagai have retained this style.

Li Dingguo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand why the emperor hated the Japanese people, it was simply deliberate to destroy the Japanese country.However, what Li Dingguo still can't figure out is why the emperor doesn't use him, which makes him feel that he has nowhere to use his strength.

The 664 chapter: the Japanese Raiders three

In order to deal with the enemy, in addition to the improvement of individual rifles, the Ming army also strengthened the firepower of individual long-range strikes. For example, the mortar has been miniaturized and improved. Although it is not as small as a grenadier, it has at least begun to resemble a mortar; The Ming army improved the original flame-throwing cabinet into a flame-throwing gun capable of injecting gasoline, but the volume was slightly larger.

Judging from these three weapons alone, Zhu Youjian is indeed determined to kill Little Japan. These are all melee weapons aimed at killing people; while long-range weapons are mainly used to destroy the enemy's economic value targets as the main means of attack of.

Just like the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty practicing hard stabbing, this is a killing technique.As for the high-tech arms of the later generations, it is a cost war.

According to Zhu Youjian, even if other powerful countries in this time and space imitate the weapons of Ming Dynasty, it will take at least 50 years for normal technological development.It took Zhu Youjian 15 years to make the technological level surpass that of the other party by 50 years.

It cannot be counted as 200 years here, after all, reverse engineering is not only Chinese.As long as the product is manufactured and shows its power, someone will study it.The so-called traversal is nothing more than speeding up the progress of technological development.

From another point of view, although Ming's weapons and equipment are relatively advanced, it is still not an industrial society, with limited production capacity, and expecting to fight is as wasteful as Midi, and Ming can't afford to fight such a war.In other words, this battle still has to test the combat capabilities of soldiers.

To attack Japan, of course, the navy will go first, which is determined by the geographical location.

As the commander-in-chief of the early operations, Zheng Chenggong needs to first destroy half of Japan's sea power, and the other half belongs to the shogunate.

There are only three models of ancient Japanese warships: Anzhai Ship, Seki Ship, and Small Dry Ship.As Japan after the country was locked down, social technology has not made any progress at all, and shipbuilding technology has remained incomplete for decades.

The Ataka-fune is a warship used by all Sengoku daimyos. It is strong but sluggish and looks like a large wooden box floating on water.The whole ship is wrapped by thick planks, and many small shooting ports are densely opened.Used to fire muskets and crossbows.There is also a layer of low-strength protection on the deck.In addition, there is usually a solid deck house on the deck. Of course, auxiliary sails are also essential. The sails are usually painted with the emblem of a famous family.When the Ataka ship enters the battle mode, the mast is folded.

The medium-sized ship is the Guan ship, which is equivalent to the smaller Anzhai ship. It has similar functions, but there is no deck house, and the helmsman steers the helm on the deck.The ship can carry 40 sailors, 30 soldiers, a cannon and 20 arquebus.Guan Ship is the backbone of all feudal daimyo's navy.

The small early boat is maneuverable but has little protection.It can carry 20 sailors, 10 soldiers and 8 matchlock guns.

In more vivid terms, Japanese warships are like putting various houses on the low hull. On the house ship is a tower; on the ship is a house; on the dry ship is a single house.When fighting, Japan will list the ship array, put it on the mast, and then wish to connect with each other and attack together.Do you think about Cao Jun's navy in the Battle of Chibi in your mind?

The Ming Fleet assembled in Taipei, and then marched towards the Kingdom of Ryukyu, with sufficient supplies along the way, and the momentum was terrifying.

The general of the Japanese navy is Yasuhiro Matsumae. The main Japanese fleet he led did not dispatch at all, and has been quietly waiting for news from the Ming army.

Fighting naval battles is actually not good for Japan, because there are too many places that can be attacked.Most of Japan's major cities are near the sea. If you can't find the main fleet of the opponent's navy, it will be a mistake to defend either side.

The Yuan army attacked Japan, using North Korea as a springboard, and then landed in the north of Japan.In fact, before the so-called typhoon hit the Yuan army fleet, the Yuan army had successfully landed and occupied a small area.Just like the previous war between Korea and Japan, as long as a landing force is sent to land, it is not difficult to capture the Japanese mainland.

But the difficulty of the problem is not the successful landing. As I said just now, it is not difficult to successfully land in Japan.The most difficult thing is to destroy the Japanese navy.If his navy is not destroyed, even if the landing is successful, they will also head towards the sea transportation line of the landing force.

The Japanese are also very smart. They knew that they could not resist the Ming army's navy, so they simply gave up confronting Zheng Chenggong, and hid their main force around Kyushu Island, especially off the coast of Nagasaki, where Japanese warships were scattered all over.

Zheng Chenggong didn't move, that's because he had a worry in his heart, the legendary kamikaze.Why must the warships be concentrated in Ryukyu and stay still?This is because only here is the closest to Japan. In other words, the Ming army needs first-hand weather conditions and will never attack rashly.

In modern times, there are various detection technologies, weather satellites, etc., which were not so advanced in ancient times, but there is also a set of experience in judging typhoons by yourself.For example: swells, sea roars, platform mothers, wind cables, broken rainbows, jellyfish ears, sea fires, fish floating up, seabirds landing and other phenomena.

At the same time, information including multiple observation points along the coast of Japan was gathering in Naha, which became the news on Zheng Chenggong's shore.Ten days passed, and the Ming army did not move at all. On the contrary, on the tenth day, the weather on the sea surface of Ryukyu was strange, with sudden wind and rain, and rough seas.

"Nani? You mean there will be Kamikaze help?" Yasuhiro Matsumae's information was also very timely. After all, the Ryukyu Islands are close to Japan, and the two places are deeply involved. It is not difficult for Japan to obtain some information about Ryukyu. .

"Yes, general. The spies have found that the sea situation has changed. It's ridiculous that the wise man waited for ten days in vain, wasting the opportunity. At this time, if they attack, they will definitely be punished by heaven." As the deputy general, Sato Gonzawa is very excited now. .

"Long live the Emperor! You should hurry up to find out about the Ming people. It is best to let the kamikaze blow them all into the sea." Yasuhiro Matsumae felt very comfortable. When the Japanese are desperate, they like to pray the most. Just like Matsumae Yasuhiro now, he thinks that his piety must have touched the heavens.

However, things that made Yasuhiro Matsumae feel more heavenly and human continued to happen. In less than half a day, Gonza Sato reported back in a hurry, indicating that the main fleet of the army actually came straight to Japan under the kamikaze.

"Yoxi! The Ming people are here to die." Matsumae Yasuhiro said firmly.

Since the Ming army braved the kamikaze to attack, it was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese. Judging from the attack route of the Ming army, they followed the sea off Naha, and you must be heading for Kagoshima or Kumamoto.Regardless of whether the Ming army detected the main force of the Japanese navy, Kumamoto is the political center of Kyushu Island.

"General, should we quickly evacuate Nagasaki?" Sato Gonzuo suggested as soon as he heard that the main force of the Ming army was coming.This is a strategy that the Japanese have decided before, that is, not to confront the main force of the Ming army's navy, and to avoid it if they can.

"Are you crazy? With the help of kamikaze, this is a god-given opportunity to defeat the Ming army. You coward, you are not worthy of being my Yamato warrior." Yasuhiro Matsumae gave Sato Gonza a contemptuous glance.
