Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 625
Now, there are nearly 10 black flags including the daimyos who took refuge in them and the servants they recruited.

The generals under his command held a meeting full of unfamiliar faces, divided into two shifts, and then circulated the map handed out by Zhu Youjian first.

Among other things, being able to see this map is considered a return to those who come to seek refuge.

Although it is only partial, its accuracy is nothing to say, it is not comparable to the map currently held by the Wa Kingdom, and it is not in the same dimension.

Not to mention that North Korea and the locations of towns and fortresses in various regions of the Indochina Peninsula are also marked on it.

That is to say, the country of Wa has implemented quite strict suppression and expulsion of Catholicism in recent years, and it is difficult for missionaries to move a single step in the country of Wa, otherwise Zhu Youjian would not be able to show them.

And they obviously knew that the map was not shown to them for no reason.

Although Zhu Youjian did not mention the attack on North Korea in the subsequent meeting, both the Black Banner Headquarters and the Black Banner Japanese Army have noticed it.

After all, it's all stated.

As for meetings.

It's still the same.

The headquarters of the black flag highlights a command, and the Japanese army of the black flag has long found that they cannot keep up with the fighting style of the black flag. Although they are armed with "black weapons", their tactics are still out of touch with the forefront of the black flag.

And if you really want to play any tactics, it only applies locally.

Zhu Youjian appointed the overall situation.

The [-] troops were divided into two groups, of which [-] were encircling and suppressing the shogunate army in Izumo, and [-] went directly to Osaka Castle.

This battle also transformed a large number of Black Banner warriors who had undergone a certain degree of Sinicization in Liaodong into grassroots officers of the Black Banner Japanese Army, so as to facilitate the command of a large number of newly recruited Japanese troops and completely erase the disadvantage of the Black Banner not fighting in the mainland.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Black Banner Army that assaulted Osaka could make full use of all the resources within the country, the army that assaulted Osaka would be dominated by Japanese.

Only ten of the 3000 Niulu were composed of ethnic groups other than the Japanese, and were commanded by Zhu Tianxing.

The black flag king is well-known, and Zhu Tianxing, the "ghost servant general" after the massacre of Hiroshima, is also quite feared by Japanese people.

At the end of June [-], the Black Banner Army began a large-scale battle on two fronts.

The shogunate army in Izumo learned of the strategy and tried to divide their troops to stop the Black Banner Army 'Shangluo' and their party.

However, the troops themselves were insufficient, and the combat power had been pulled up by more than one level. The plan to divide the troops was stopped by the order of Naomasa Matsudaira, the daimyo of the Matsue Domain of the Izumo Kingdom, who took over the command.

As the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Matsudaira Naomasa, as a pro-vassal daimyo, also attended Iemitsu's funeral in Edo, and it was not long before he came back.

As a result, as soon as he came back, the battle situation deteriorated rapidly, and he had to join the battle himself. Afterwards, with his identity here, the command of the army naturally fell into his hands.

So right now Zhu Youjian has a large stretch of trenches and tunnels in front of him, as well as iron artillery troops mixed in between.

Naomasa Matsudaira has never seen the trenches of the black flag with his own eyes, but after taking power, he quickly accepted the opinions of the other generals and applied them on a large scale.

"He is actually a capable person."

Zhu Youjian put down the binoculars, and Sanada Xingchang beside him added two sentences at the right time: "Matsudaira Naomasa once led the troops to fight against my father in the battle of Osaka. Zhong threw a military fan at him."

Then he knelt down and said: "Matsudaira Naomasa served under his brother Matsudaira Tadanao in the battle of Osaka! It was his brother who captured my father's head! My father's military fan was also hidden by Matsudaira Naomasa! I want to get it back Father's military fan! Please allow me to lead the army to attack!"

Sanada Xingchang has become a monk and a ronin, but it does not mean that he sees through the mundane world.

Taking one step at a time does not mean that the most distant goal has been let go.

Today, he leads more than [-] soldiers, and he is a well-known general in the Black Flag Japanese Army. Revenge must be on the agenda, and he has been aggrieved for decades. Once he gains power and erupts, this hatred becomes even more serious. profound.

Family feud is not good advice.

Zhu Youjian dispatched the artillery to him, intending to see the situation.

Sanada Yukimasa was not stupid either, he was blocked by the main force, he detoured and raided a castle in Izumo, broke through the castle town and then blew up the castle, and made a gesture to continue the siege.

How about poor treatment for foreign daimyos?

There can only be one castle town in a daimyo's territory, but Matsudaira Naomasa, a pro-vassal daimyo territory, has three castle towns.

Sanada Xingchang swept away the citizens of the city, and the villages and towns were also looted along the way, and the city was almost slaughtered.

Changing the name of another domain has long been distressed.

Naomasa Matsudaira didn't feel distressed at all.

He also sent a very high-profile message, saying that he visited his father's head back then, and thought that Xingchang had died in the city of Osaka, but he didn't expect to survive so far, and degenerated into a barbarian under Heiman's command, humiliating him The bravery of the father.

"Heh, do you want to cut off my head and put it in front of my father's military fan?"

Xingchang couldn't help laughing when he saw the letter.

They all wanted to provoke each other, but they didn't succeed.

Throwing the letter into the fire, he said, "Kill all Naozheng's retainers! Throw the heads to the north, they set up an ambush in Hirose Castle and wait for us to go there! We will definitely find these heads! Hahaha!"

Detour siege can not be too deep.

As for the front, the attack speed of the Black Banner Army was indeed slower under the blockage of a large trench.

And Naomasa Matsudaira on the opposite side also pulled out a lot of artillery with a slightly larger caliber. Although they couldn't keep up with the red cannons, they were barely enough for defense.

Castles defended by cannons are not comparable to those castles that only had large-caliber muskets such as Hazama Iron Cannons as defensive firepower.

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry, but instead sent out another [-] troops to keep up with the troops attacking Osaka City from the northeast.

The point is there.

Compared with the encircling and suppressing army here, the army rushing to Osaka went much smoother.

Many daimyo who did not need to serve because of the war have served, and now they are either surrounded in Izumo, or suppressed the rebels north of Osaka, or countered the rebellion in other places, or in the northern part of Honshu Island, paid the shogunate If you become a soldier, you don't have to come in person.

Therefore, Zhu Tianxing, Aikawa Kazuki, and many black-flag names didn't need to care about the place at all. They just marched on the main road, and their lords were gone, and the remaining troops in the place dared not move at all.

After advancing four hundred miles in a row, they encountered decent resistance.

Because they have rushed into the territory of many pro-vassals and genealogical daimyos entrusted by the Tokugawa shogunate in the Osaka area.

The entire central part of Honshu Island is basically dominated by the shogunate's heavenly leader and pro-vassal daimyo, and the world of generation daimyo.

It is also the world of the Tokugawa shogunate.

And the army that was quickly pulled up by the Black Banner Army was approaching Osaka, and it was a little different from the previous shogunate army in appearance.

A large number of shogunate banners and the troops of the pro-vassal daimyo were concentrated.

The armor is shiny and shiny, most of which are new gadgets in the world, and there are also many soldiers equipped with a large number of iron cannons and firearms, which makes this central elite army look quite glamorous.

The fundamentals of the shogunate had to be uncovered.

It was lifted out in a fairly good state of maintenance.
