Four hundred and seventieth chapters soldiers sent Dengzhou
"Ryukyu Japanese riots?"
After learning that the Ryukyu island was occupied by Japanese pirates, a group of generals were excited.
Lu Fei shouted, "Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Let's attack Ryukyu now. Hehe, the last six months have been ruined. Every day, it's just training."
"Without day-to-day training, how can this soldier win a battle? You kid are just frizzy." Niu Ben glared at Lu Fei.
After touching his head, Lu Fei suddenly laughed.
Then he continued: "Your Highness, this Dutch may not be credible, and Ryukyu is a strange place to us. It is necessary to be cautious when sending troops rashly for expeditions."
"Well, I think so too, so I am asking the Secret Guard to spy on the intelligence. If Ryukyu is really occupied by Japanese pirates, we must send troops to help the Dutch. After all, in this way, we will be the only ally of the Dutch in East Asia."
Luo Xin said: "Your Highness, whether it is the Dutch or the Japanese pirates, as long as they block our way, we will kill them. The military workshop has just sent twenty-four field artillery to the artillery battalion, and now we have nothing to do."
"Twenty-four field guns?"
When producing field artillery, Xiao Ming instructed Chen Qi to hand over these artillery directly to the army. It seems that the handover of artillery is over now.
"Twelve six-pound light field guns, and the rest are twelve-pound siege guns," Luo Xin added.
Xiao Ming nodded. The Qingzhou army can be said to have basically completed the firearm equipment. Now the firearm equipment of the Qingzhou army has been improved.
In addition to the field artillery just sent, it is also equipped with the Tiger Cannon. The next task of the army is to continue to realize firearm equipment and training in other prefectures and counties.
"Since that's the case, you must be prepared now. Unlike dealing with barbarians, the Japanese pirates on Ryukyu Island are all equipped with mesh rope guns. You may have to go through a musket duel." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, Your Highness, we can participate in the war at any time." Niu Ben and other generals stood up and said in unison.
After greeting the army, Xiao Ming went to see the field artillery sent by Chen Qi. These field artillery were basically no different from the Dutch field artillery. Using horses, you can drag these cannons installed on wheel artillery stands away, which is very fast.
"Your Highness, the number of Qingzhou Army's tanks has reached 600 now, which is enough to support the marching of 30,000 people." Niu Ben said excitedly. When he saw that the car formation was a powerful tool to deal with the barbarians.
With so many chariots, they were able to build a fortress defense line on the grassland, which was also Xiao Ming's defensive strategy against the barbarians.
"After collecting Ryukyu, we went deep into the grassland to build the first bastion, which was called Ningzhou Fortress." Xiao Ming said. He decided not to defend so passively, but to build a series of connected fortresses to compress the barbarians' survival space.
Because sometimes attack is the best defense, and defending the enemy outside the national gate is the right way. Now the barbarians are ready to move again, but he will not give the barbarians the same chance they had last time in Jizhou.
In the hearts of the generals of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, barbarians are the biggest threat to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and this has never changed.
After receiving Xiao Ming's promise, Niu Ben smiled. The Qingzhou Army insisted on hard training in order to one day eliminate the threat from the north.
He also told Niu Ben about giving priority to reforming the troops of Youzhou and Dengzhou, and Xiao Ming returned to the royal palace.
On the third day, the secret guard's information arrived in Qingzhou, and Wang Xuan appeared in the royal palace as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, what the Dutch are saying is true. The Japanese pirates attacked the Dutch, and more than 300 Dutch soldiers in the city of Gerlandzha have died. Now the Japanese pirates have occupied the opposite bastion, and there are constantly Japanese pirates to reinforce the bastion, as if they are planning to take down the city of Gerlandzha together." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, "This group of Dutch people are really trapped in their own cocoons. Japan is an unfamiliar dog. Now that it has been bitten, it will have a memory in the future."
"Your Highness seems to be very happy about this?" Wang Xuan was a little puzzled.
Xiao Ming explained: "It's actually very simple. The Dutch have been trading with Japan. Now that the Japanese pirates have attacked the Dutch, this will inevitably lead to the Dutch not trusting Japan. In this way, we will become the only trading object for the Dutch. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"It's true from this point of view." Wang Xuan woke up and realized.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Xuan: "Continue to pay attention to the movements of Ryukyu and the Japanese pirates, and report to me at any time."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After seeing off Wang Xuan, Xiao Ming officially ordered the Niu to be sent to Dengzhou to prepare for attacking Ryukyu. The Japanese attack along the coast has always been a headache for the Great Yu Kingdom. Since these people were Japanese pirates, his operation can also be said to be a bandit suppression.
After receiving Xiao Ming's order, Niu Ben assigned Lu Fei and Luo Xin to Xiao Ming, and asked the two to lead 10,000 troops to be responsible for the Ryukyu war.
Xiao Ming was still very satisfied with this arrangement. Both of them were the best among all the generals. For war, excellent generals can reduce casualties of soldiers.
Rhode is still waiting for Xiao Ming in Dengzhou. After gathering the army, Xiao Ming led half of the Qingzhou army to head towards Dengzhou City.
On March 16, Xiao Ming arrived in Dengzhou City and also saw Rhodes who were like ants on the hot pot.
"Your Highness, please save our city of Relanzha. Now we are allies. Please use your help in such a dangerous moment." Rhode said sadly and angrily.
At this time, Rhodes were dressed in disheveled clothes, haggard and a hint of begging in his expression. He was completely gone from the arrogant and arrogant he had at the time. They finally realized that they were very fragile in East Asia.
"Ambassador Rhodes, don't worry, I have learned what happened, but you need to tell us in more detail." In contemporary Dutch people were driven out of Ryukyu by Zheng Chenggong's 20,000 soldiers, which shows that thermal weapons are still powerless in the face of enemies that are several times more powerful.
Now the Dutch naturally encountered the same thing again, and the number of Japanese pirates was several times that of the Dutch troops.
The Qingzhou army, wearing neat military uniforms and carrying flintlock rifles, continued to enter the city, followed by field artillery led by horses. Such a mighty Qingzhou army gradually calmed down.
At the same time, a sense of hope arose in his heart, because in his opinion, although the current Qingzhou equipment may not be comparable to their army, it has an advantage over the Japanese equipment.
And it is enough to fight against the Japanese pirates in number.
"First of all, three thousand mercenaries attacked the city of Rhelanzha, and then five thousand Japanese pirates landed on the island of Ryukyu from the sea to control the Michira Castle. Now there are constantly coming from the sea to support it, and it seems that all Japanese pirates have come." Rhode said nervously.
