My Daming New Empire

Their fall affected others, causing everyone's morale to disappear without a trace, and a rout began.

On the side of the Ming soldiers, only scattered soldiers were injured by the enemy's back arrows, and they were quickly moved to the rear of the camp by the military doctors accompanying the team.

The fallen Dongying people had no one to take care of them, and the wounded and screaming samurai, after suffering, were cut open with short knives by the auxiliary soldiers following the attacking camp.

Their heads were also cut off one by one as evidence of military merit registration.

In Tokushima City, [-] soldiers of the Fire Dragon Army can almost cover that small city, but in Osaka, which has many islands and many water systems, they are simply not enough to distribute.

Today's Osaka, although it cannot be compared with the scale of later generations, has gathered more than [-] people.Centering on Osaka Castle and Tennoji Temple, they developed a huge city with an area of ​​more than fifty square miles.

Outside the city walls are the shanty towns of tens of thousands of civilians. These shanty towns are distributed on dozens of small islands and rivers along the coast, forming a complex area like a maze.

Seeing that they were incapable of fighting, the Dongying people took the initiative to burn the wooden bridges between the islands and the river, and demolished the stone bridges, hoping to block the footsteps of Ming soldiers in this way.

More and more Ming soldiers landed, from the southernmost Suminoe District, to the Taisho District, to the Port District, Naniwa District, and Nishiinari District.

These tens of thousands of soldiers entering these areas are like waves splashing into a pond, and no ripples can be seen anymore.

But the storm not only comes from the number of people, but also from the storm of force that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can set off.

Standing on the sea about three miles away from the port area, Zhu Zhanji could clearly see the white smoke rising from all over the city. Those were the smoke caused by the muskets of Ming soldiers.

According to the movement of the smoke, the current attacking posture of the Ming soldiers can be judged.

After the bridge was destroyed, the attack of Ming soldiers who lacked boats was indeed hindered. However, these difficulties were only a process in the course of the battle and could not change the trend of the entire battlefield.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Zhanji, who was not good at commanding operations, did not intervene and let Zheng He have full authority to handle battlefield mobilization.

Zheng He did his part, and issued a series of orders in succession. First, the yellow flag was raised, and the soldiers of Ming Dynasty were asked to suspend their offensive, hold their positions, and then report their positions.

When the area occupied by Ming soldiers on the map of Osaka was painted yellow, the battle situation of the entire city was clearly presented in front of everyone.

The Firearms Camp is Liu Sheng's darling. He first suggested: "Your Highness, now that the road is blocked and the attack is hindered, scattered attacks will only increase the casualties of our Ming soldiers. It is far less powerful than a long knife. Your Highness, it is not as good as a fire attack."

"I understand..." Zhu Zhanji frowned as he looked at the flooded Osaka Castle and said, "The purpose of attacking Osaka is to deter the Japanese. , on the contrary, it will arouse their hatred of the same enemy, and they will be desperate. More importantly, even if we burn the Osaka Castle today, we will not be able to burn the central city. If we want to fight, we must scare them from both mental and physical aspects. Therefore Attacking with fire is not a good strategy now."

Zheng Hejian said: "Your Highness, Osaka is the material distribution center of Japan. Now in the area occupied by my Ming Dynasty, there are many warehouses, which are full of food and various materials. These materials are also useful to my Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Let the reserve army clean up the supplies and load them on board. In addition, the Japanese in the occupied area will be used as coolies. Women under the age of 30 will be transported back to Daming."

The complex terrain of Osaka is destined to be impossible to win in one fell swoop, and Da Ming is unwilling to spend too much energy and lose too many manpower in this city.

Taking Osaka is only a tactical purpose, not a strategic purpose. If possible, Zhu Zhanji would rather send a special force to directly attack Kyoto after stabilizing the local situation.

Daming's strategic goal is to deter the entire Japan and disrupt the management system of the entire Japan.

When Dongying's government orders were blocked and each went its own way, Dongying let Daming decide.

Of course, these have to be done step by step, and quick success and instant benefit are absolutely unacceptable.

Zhao Yongliang and the [-] soldiers of Habayashi Guard took six [-]-stone battleships and surrounded Zhu Zhanji's flagship. Seeing the fierce battle on the shore, they only felt envy in their hearts.

But as Zhu Zhanji's personal guards, it is impossible for them to play as the main force every time, so this time, although they are equipped with the most advanced double-barreled flintlock guns in the whole army, they can only watch the fun from behind.

Zhao Yongliang wanted to take the initiative to ask for a fight more than once, but finally controlled the impulse.

The last time he fought, Habayashi made a great contribution, and he himself was named Guang Chengbo, which has already made countless people jealous.

If they called for a fight before the situation reached the point where they had to be dispatched, they would be suspected of taking credit, which would not be good for his future development.

A herald ship arrived under Habayashi Wei's flagship, and the head of the eunuch shouted loudly: "Where is Commander Zhao, Your Highness has orders!"

The guards quickly called Zhao Yongliang who was on the other side of the deck. Zhao Yongliang was overjoyed and thought he was going to be dispatched.

The two sides verified their identities, and a hanging basket was put down, and the token for leaving the army was put in it.But to Zhao Yongliang's disappointment, they were not dispatched to fight a war, but to move the goods in the three warehouses in Anzhichuan.

But even though it was work, it also made the soldiers extremely excited. Every day they nested in the small cabin, and the soldiers felt that their bones were going to rust.

Seeing Zhao Yongliang receiving the order, the servant said again: "Commander Zhao had better go to South Hong Kong Island first. All the reserve forces, regardless of their positions, will be dispatched by the Navy Headquarters Huang's garrison, and the ships will be arranged uniformly."

A cargo ship that transships cargo is slightly different from a battleship, and has a stronger carrying capacity.So many ships, so many manpower, cargo, how to load, and the arrangement of each ship entering the port must be arranged in a unified way so as not to cause confusion.

After Zhao Yongliang agreed, the messenger drove the boat to other warships.Zhao Yongliang ordered to the left and right: "Raise the flag and pass the order. The Habayashi guards will send [-] musketeers and [-] gunners to carry out a heavy camp and go ashore to carry goods."

The complex geographical environment of Osaka made it impossible for the Ming army to make great achievements in one fell swoop, but the several coaches were not lacking in patience. They put the lives of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as the most important thing, and advanced steadily step by step.

Osaka is right in front of you, and it doesn't matter when you take it down.

At present, the stalemate in the battle situation did not exceed the expectations of several coaches. After analyzing the battle situation with Zheng He and Liu Sheng, Zhu Zhanji simply returned to his cabin and prepared to take a nap.

In the cabin, Lan Yan, Liu Chenghui, their respective maids, and two daughters of Lvzhuqingmei.Originally there were three distinct gangs when they boarded the boat, but after half a month of getting along, the boundaries have completely disappeared.

Green bamboos and green plums represent the grandson concubine, but her status is lower.Lan Yan has the highest status and is a little more simple.Liu Chenghui's status is low, but he knows how to advance and retreat, and he is good at medicine. No one dares to say that he will not get sick.

Therefore, their status relationship and interest entanglements gradually became more harmonious as they got along day and night.

Although Zhu Zhanji occupied the entire cabin on the first floor, the area was not very large.There are a lot of them, apart from a few girls, there are also many servants and maids serving them, and they live in a relatively cramped place.

Taking advantage of this reason, Zhu Zhanji let Lan Yan and Liu Chenghui have fun together without shame. The two women were shy at first, but after going through this process, the two became closer.

With only two daughters, Zhu Zhanji couldn't be satisfied naturally, so he took the two daughters together, and lived a shameless and dissolute life.

Today was the day when the army officially attacked, but it also happened to be Lan Yan's birthday.

Although the conditions are limited, the girls have made careful preparations to celebrate Lan Yan's unforgettable birthday.

Zhu Zhanji also remembered this incident, and specifically asked Huang Yuan to leave some commemorative gifts for himself when he carried the spoils.

Now that the Ming Dynasty occupies the outskirts of Osaka, there are not only Japanese warehouses, but also many rich mansions. With the ability of the current army to scrape the ground, it is not difficult to find some special gifts.

As the chief dispatcher, Huang Yuan has a team of more than 50 statisticians under his name.

It has nothing to do with them when the army fights, but they are not only responsible for the food and grass of the army, but they are also very busy when capturing the spoils of war.

It's not that Huang Yuan didn't think about leading the army to fight, it's much more comfortable than being a big butler like this.Being a big housekeeper looks good, not weaker than a commander in chief of an army, but he is busy with trivial matters every day, which wears out his patience.

But he also knows that what Zhu Zhanji values ​​him today is his ability to be good at overall planning.

In today's Ming army, there are many generals who can lead the army, Huang Yuan is far from being ranked.If you want to stand out, you can only maximize your own advantages and make yourself an indispensable part of the army.

He sometimes feels that he is following his father's old path, but he just doesn't know if he can reach his father's height.

At the beginning, Huang Fu was assigned to the army by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was in charge of the logistics of the southern expedition to Annan. Relying on his ability to make overall arrangements, he was finally reused and became a civil affairs officer in Jiaozhi.

It is also because of the merits during the Cochin period that his father's actions were seen by the grandson, and now he can return to Beijing and serve as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Now that he is a martial artist, it is impossible for him to become a minister, but there is still a great chance of becoming the commander-in-chief of an army.
