Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters mercenaries

A trace of cold wind blew, and Ye Qingyun couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

A few days ago, the whistling from the north seemed to have entered winter overnight.

"Captain Ye, Li Chengzai's progress is going smoothly. Now they have controlled the twenty-seven cities in Nan Goryeo, and now there is only one Busan city left.

"Busan City?" Ye Qingyun looked at the sand table on the table. This was just created by the staff sent by the General Staff.

From this sand table, he can take a look at the entire island of Goryeo.

Qu Dong nodded, "There is a cauldron-shaped mountain behind Busan City. This city is named for this reason. In addition, according to the order of the General Staff, we will establish a military-civilian dock in Busan. In this way, the navy can go directly from Busan City to Japan, thereby controlling the borders of Japan."

Ye Qingyun nodded, "The Emperor once said that this place is very suitable for building a deep-water port, so is there any difficulty in Li Cheng taking down Busan now?"

"Like Suwon Castle, Japan attaches great importance to Busan Castle, and compared with Suwon Castle, this Busan City has been operating for a longer time. There are a large number of Japanese soldiers in the city, which can be said to be a strong city and a powerful cannon." Qu Dong said.

The cold winter is about to enter. For Ye Qingyun, he doesn't want to continue fighting in the winter. He said: "Busan City is now the only stronghold in Japan in Goryeo. As long as we remove this place, Japan will be completely driven out of Goryeo by us. In order to keep it, Japan will definitely do its best."

After pausing, he continued, "It is probably difficult to rely on Li Cheng to take down this city. Since the emperor wants this city, we will send troops to Busan City directly, so that the war can be ended before the cold winter comes, and it will naturally occupy this city."

"Yes, Commander Ye." Qu Dong agreed with Ye Qingyun's approach. The cold winter is a test for both soldiers and equipment.

And because it is too cold, the docks in winter sometimes freeze, which is definitely a disaster for soldiers far away in Goryeo, because it will mean difficulties in recharge.

After giving the order, Ye Qingyun continued to look at the sand table, and then he inserted a dragon flag on top of Busan City.

On November 27, after eight days of march, Ye Qingyun led 8,000 soldiers to the city of Busan to join Li Chengzai's army.

"Captain Ye, the number of Japanese soldiers in Busan is no less than that of them, and there is also a mercenary composed of Westerners. They fight fiercely and their firearms are advanced than those of Japan."

When Li Cheng saw Ye Qingyun, he ran to him all the way and complained.

"Mercenary!" Ye Qingyun frowned. He understood that Li Cheng was very worried now, and the failure of the war left him blank.

But this excuse still annoyed him a little, "There has never been any Western mercenaries in Japan."

"I didn't before, but now I have it." Suddenly a voice came.

Ye Qingyun looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw Wang Xuan walking towards him.

"You, the head of the secret guard, have appeared here. It seems that Li Cheng is not lying." Ye Qingyun frowned even deeper, "Didn't the navy block the coast of Goryeo? Why would there be ships coming?"

Wang Xuan looked at the Busan City not far away. This city was built against the mountain, facing the sea, and only two sides were suitable for siege.

He said: "A warship is just a seed to the sea. It is impossible for such a large sea area to be without any mistakes. Moreover, Japan is mobilizing the navy to counterattack, so Yue Yun can only concentrate his strength to destroy them first."

Ye Qingyun spread his hands, "Then let's talk about the mercenaries. What's going on with them?"

"Edo Ichimin's body has returned to Japan. This incident shocked the Japanese Daming, especially Yamada. He is probably driven crazy now because there are many conflicts between the Daming people." Wang Xuan said: "In fact, Yamada is not a Daming that has been passed down from Japan. He was born in a humble background. He used to be a farmer. Later, he followed the Fujiwara family in Japan to conquer the North Mountain, and gradually gained the attention of the Fujiwara family. In the end, he relied on the power of the Fujiwara family to have today's status. However, the Daming of Japan still looked down on him from the heart. It is precisely because of this reason that Yamada's behavior is so extreme."

Ye Qingyun said lazily: "I don't care about his past. Now he is our enemy. Whether he is a Daming or a farmer, he has to pay the price now."

Wang Xuan shook his head, "As the saying goes, only by knowing your enemy and knowing oneself can win every battle. You are still a reckless man. It is one thing to defeat Japan in Goryeo, but attacking the Japanese mainland is another thing. Using the contradiction between Daming is the foundation for dismantling Japan. Once Yamada Nobunaga loses his prestige, Daming of Japan may continue to fight on its own. It will be much easier to open the Japanese market at this time."

Ye Qingyun rubbed his head in pain. He and Wang Xuan were already very familiar with each other. Now the commander of the Secret Guard became more and more narcissistic, and he always looked like he was teaching a lesson.

He immediately changed the subject, "Let's talk about the situation in Busan City, what's going on with this mercenary?"

"It was recommended to him by the British around Yamada. Edo Ichimin's death caused a great loss of his reputation. If he lost Busan again, it would mean that his plan to send troops to Goryeo was completely failed. So now he wanted to save Busan City at all costs. This mercenary with only two thousand people entered Japan at this time. According to our understanding, Western countries used a large number of mercenaries in the process of colonization, which was much more cost-effective than sacrificing their own soldiers."

"Two thousand people?" Ye Qingyun's expression relaxed, "I might be worried about 20,000 people, but two thousand people are really insignificant."

While Ye Qingyun and his group were talking, a tall Swedish with red hair on the wall of Busan was using a telescope to observe the army outside the city.

After learning about the equipment of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, he scolded: "This is not a simple army."

Beside him was a blond hair, a slightly short-sized British man, with a short musket around his waist and a long sword hanging on his right.

Taking the tall telescope, he carefully observed and said, "This time our goal is not to help Japan defend the city, but to test the strength of the Great Yu army. Now, in order to deal with the threat of this country, the whole of Europe is very nervous."
