Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 87 Asuka Jing

In the Tang Dynasty world.

Datang period.

The Four Seas Fleet is like the "Black Ship Incident" that happened in the history of the main world to Japan, just like Ami used ships and cannons to open the door of Japan.

When the cannon hits the fire stick.

The Japanese on the Japanese island had no way to stop the Sihai Fleet from landing, let alone the landing of crossbows and long knives.

only.

Under Li Huaian's plan.

In the world of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese on the Japanese islands no longer have the opportunity to become Zhongshan wolves like in the history of the main world. They can rely on temporary surrender and humility to win the possibility of backlash.

This is thanks to the cognitive gap brought to people in ancient times.

In this era when slave trading was still allowed.

Li Huaian's actions on the Japanese island did not receive much condemnation. The Tang Dynasty court just stood aside and quietly watched what the Sihai Fleet did on the Japanese island without any words to stop it.

The people of the Tang Dynasty did not even know about the war against the Japanese.

If it were placed in the main world, the Sihai Fleet would have been condemned by a group of holy ladies at home and abroad.

"Commander, the safe zone has been cleared, and the landing troops can prepare to disembark and land."

After the East China Sea Fleet shelled the selected landing site on the Japanese island, the Japanese on the shore were dispersed. The government soldiers in charge of the lookout immediately reported to the commander of the East China Sea Fleet.

The commander of the East China Sea Fleet took out his ears. Just a round of shelling had shaken the earwax out of his ears.

At the same time, looking at the Japanese island in the distance, under a round of shells from the fleet, only the corpses of the Japanese on the shore were left on the ground. All the living Japanese fled the shore and only dared to look here from a distance. Don't dare to get any closer.

"Okay, let's send a signal to inform the fleet behind us that they can dock and let Lian Hai prepare to land with people."

"My East China Sea Fleet will go to other places first."

"Yes."

The Fu soldiers retreated and went to notify the Fu soldiers in charge of communication semaphores on the ship.

"It's a pity. This round of naval gunfire has killed many people. I'm afraid there are dozens of people. If they were exchanged for money, they would be enough to have a drink in Chang'an City."

The commander of the East China Sea Fleet glanced at the corpses of the Japanese on the shore and shook his head in regret, but it was only a pity that he had only killed dozens of Japanese, so it didn't make him care too much.

After feeling a little sorry.

He immediately ordered the entire East China Sea Fleet to change direction, not to stay here longer, and to leave space for the brother fleets behind.

As a front ship.

In addition to the responsibility of clearing a safe area for the troops to land and exploring the way for the fleet behind them.

The East China Sea Fleet also has the task of patrolling the entire Japanese island.

So it is impossible to stay in one place for too long.

Only when the entire Japanese island is patrolled and all suitable locations for landing on the island are marked is the time for the East China Sea Fleet to rest and move around freely.

The East China Sea Fleet leaves.

Subsequent squadrons of the Sihai Fleet also arrived in the sea area one after another.

Until the main ship of the Four Seas Fleet and the frigates came to a complete stop, it also heralded that the Four Seas Fleet's hunting of Japanese islands was about to begin.

"Lian Hai, take your people and prepare to land."

on the main ship.

Pang Xiaotai ordered Lian Hai who was on the same ship.

Next.

It will be the home ground for fifteen thousand landing troops.

After the landing of [-] Japanese troops is completed, the Four Seas Fleet will encircle the entire Japanese island, blockade all the sea areas of the Japanese island, prevent a single sampan from the Japanese island from entering the sea, and prevent a single Japanese from leaving the Japanese island.

"Yes, Commander."

He didn't even delay at sea. He had already put on armor. Before that, he ordered the soldiers responsible for landing operations on each ship to assemble. They waited for the fleet to stop and began to use landing ships to land.

After the [-] government troops landed one after another, all kinds of materials, including artillery for land warfare, were also unloaded.

Lian Hai was dressed in armor, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and sat on his horse. He stared at the assembled army in front of him, and the blood in his heart began to surge.

Although the fifteen thousand soldiers in front of them are not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty.

but.
Everyone knows that these fifteen thousand soldiers are out-and-out soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

and.

They are still soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who have undergone a year of special training.

The method used is a training method that has never been seen before.

Lian Hai heard that this training method was provided by a mysterious nobleman behind the Great Tang Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Today's saints are also paying attention to this training method.

In other words.

This war against the Japanese was led by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce.

It is not just an ordinary civil war. At the top of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the mysterious nobleman, there are also saints who are paying attention. Presumably, the Ministry of War is also paying attention, and the martial arts officers are also paying attention to the Japanese island. side.

The entire Tang Dynasty court was paying attention.

"Brothers, have you all eaten?"

Lian Hai thought about it, tightened the reins with one hand, held a long knife with the other, and shouted angrily at the fifteen thousand soldiers, even if not everyone could hear him.

As long as the soldiers in front can hear it, a chain reaction can occur.

"I am full."

In the queue, there was a loud roar and tsunami.

"Brothers, you are lucky to be able to receive this errand from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Have you seen the island in front of you?"

Lian Hai pointed his long knife directly at the Japanese island and the Japanese who were hiding and peeking in the distance.

"I saw it."

"Where is the money for you to marry and have children? The steward of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce said that a male Japanese is worth [-] copper coins and a female Japanese is worth [-] copper coins."

"Although it's not much, after all, the Japanese are too short and not worth much. It's good to have this price."

"However, there are enough Japanese to win on this Japanese island. The population of several million is enough for all our brothers in the Four Seas Fleet."

Done.

Lian Hai smiled.

"When we came here, the steward of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce said that if our brothers have a Japanese girl they like on the Japanese island and want to keep them as concubines, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will only charge one thousand for the first Japanese girl they want. A copper coin is considered as the cost."

"As for the position of head wife, I think it is better to leave it to our own aunt."

"Hahaha"

Hear what Lian Hai said.

The [-] soldiers also showed clear smiles. They were all men. They came to Japan on sea ships to fight, so it was inevitable that there would be lonely moments.certainly.

These soldiers from the Tang Dynasty also agreed with Lian Hai's words. The female Japanese were okay as concubines, but they were not qualified to be their wives. If they returned to the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely be looked down upon by their neighbors, and they would be stabbed in the spine. .

Besides, after the battle on the Japanese island is over, who among them will not earn enough money to buy land and marry an aunt when they go back?

The reason why I came to Japan was not just to earn money, buy property, and marry my mother-in-law.

"but."

After joking.

Lian Hai became serious and reminded his fifteen thousand soldiers.

"Japanese Island is now the private property of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Every mountain, water, plant, tree, person, and animal on it, even bricks and tiles, is the private property of the Chamber of Commerce."

"You must remember the regulations taught to you by the Chamber of Commerce. Don't have any pity, don't have any twisted thoughts, and don't dispose of the private property of the Chamber of Commerce at will."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you will never be able to return to your hometown or drink the wine from your hometown."

"You have to understand that during this year, what you eat is the food of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and what you receive is the salary of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. On the Japanese island, there can be no hidden secrets. Everything is based on the interests of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Did you hear that?"

"As commanded, Commander."

Fifteen thousand soldiers responded loudly.

During this year, in addition to training, they kept memorizing the regulations taught to them by the Chamber of Commerce. They had to memorize them during the day and at night. If they could not memorize them, they would be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce.

Now, even if they sleep and talk in their sleep, the words they talk in their sleep are the contents of the Chamber of Commerce Regulations. It has reached the point where even if they forget their own names, they cannot forget the Chamber of Commerce Regulations.

"All ministries, start taking action as planned."

The training is over.

Lian Hai waved his long sword and told his men to start acting according to the plan. He then returned to the Chinese army camp to take charge of the overall situation. His Chinese army camp would slowly move forward as the army advanced, but it would not be too much. Deep into the hinterland.

Thanks to Li Huaian's help.

The combat command method of these fifteen thousand soldiers on the Japanese island is different from other armies of the Tang Dynasty, and also different from other soldiers. They do not need generals to take the lead and charge into battle.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin, the Ministry of War, the entire Tang court, and Wu Xun, who are far away in the Tang Dynasty, are paying attention to the Japanese island.

Not only because of the new weapons used by the Sihai Fleet, but also because of the interests on the Japanese island.

because.

If the new way of commanding operations is successful.

Then the Tang army will usher in a large-scale change.

It can be said.

Under Li Huaian's various operations.

The war against Japan is no longer simply for the benefit of labor force, gold and silver mountains on Japanese islands, but for his selfish desires.

Instead, it became a testing ground for Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, how could the entire senior management of the Tang Dynasty let Li Huaian find any excuse to start a war of annihilation against the Japanese, and also ignore Li Shimin's loan of [-] soldiers to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty, as if they had not seen it.

at this time.

On the Sihai Fleet and in the Chinese military camp in Lianhai, there were observers sent by Li Shimin and the Ministry of War. They all paid close attention to everything about the Japanese war and recorded and summarized it.

Datang.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin looked at the memorial about the Four Seas Fleet.

"I didn't expect the Japanese on the Japanese island to be so unwilling to fight. In just half a month, the Sihai Fleet, with 600 soldiers on land and more than 100 ships at sea, left the entire Japanese country without any resistance. Nearly one-third of the country was lost, and [-] million people were captured."

"Sage, the Japanese island is isolated on the sea, surrounded by the sea, and the land is too narrow, so it is easy to be attacked by ships. More than 600 ships of the Four Seas Fleet attack the coast of the Japanese island, and the millions of people in the Japanese country cannot be attacked. It may be possible to collect all the coasts. It is thought that most of the Japanese people were gathered inland by the Japanese country, which is why the [-] soldiers who landed the Four Seas Fleet had such a big harvest."

Fang Xuanling, who came to Tai Chi Palace for routine business, gave her insights.

"Ah."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and picked up another report about the Four Seas Fleet, which was also in the Memorial of the Four Seas Fleet Observers. It summarized all the experiences of the Four Seas Fleet during the war on the Japanese island during this period, as well as some information under the new command system. Discover.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to wait aside and stay in Tai Chi Palace in case Li Shimin wanted to ask him anything.

After Li Shimin read the memorial from the observers of the Four Seas Fleet in Japan, he handed it to Fang Xuanling.

At the same time, he expressed his thoughts on the content of the memorial.

"The Shouchang Hou's artillery and grenades are good battlefield weapons. For sieges, artillery can reduce the casualties of many Tang Dynasty soldiers. The city walls of the Japanese country are just some stone cities. Once the artillery fires down, the wall can be destroyed. Destroy rocks and crack them.”

"Artillery is good for defending the city. It can also replace part of the role of crossbows, but it is too bulky. The lightest artillery weighs several hundred kilograms. If it can be lighter, it can be used on horses. It will be a good choice for future wars. The landscape may be about to change.”

"There is also this grenade. If you throw it in a crowded place, it will kill and injure a lot of people. Before every melee, cooperate with artillery and use this round of grenades first. I'm afraid there won't be many enemies left."

"."

"It seems that the gunpowder workshop under the name of the Great Tang Sihai Chamber of Commerce can no longer be left alone. It must be taken back to the imperial court. It is best to let the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War jointly manage it."

"I can only rest assured that such a powerful weapon of the country is in the hands of the imperial court."

After Fang Xuanling read the memorial and heard that Li Shimin planned to take the gunpowder workshop under the control of the imperial court, he quickly agreed.

"The sage has made a clear judgment that this gunpowder is so powerful that if it is used by someone with intentions, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty."

"That's what Yuan Ling said."

Li Shimin was also worried that the gunpowder would get out of control, so he had decided in his mind that he would take the gunpowder workshop from Li Huaian, even if he had to pay more rewards.

It just so happened that together with the horseshoes, a reward was given to Shouchang Hou Mansion.

thought here.

Li Shimin felt that the title of Marquis of Shouchang County was no longer worthy of Li Huaian, and it would take at least a county prince to be worthy of these achievements.

Shouchanghou Mansion.

martial arts arena.

Li Huaian practiced a set of military killing swordsmanship with the Daxia Dragon Bird.

"Mr. Lang, the Four Seas Fleet of Japan has sent news that they are almost arriving at Asukakyo, the new capital of Japan."

Li Ruoqiu wiped Li Huaian's sweat with a wet towel and told him the news just sent by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce.

"Asuka Kyo?"

While Li Huaian was confused, he did not avoid Li Ruoqiu and directly put the Daxia Dragon Bird in his hand into the [Zhutian Private Warehouse]. If the knife was placed outside, it would be easy for Li Shimin to take it back again. Or put it in [Zhutian Private Warehouse]. You can feel more at ease in the private warehouse.

Even though Li Shimin has made it clear that he will no longer look for the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword.

But he didn't believe it.

Li Huaian took the white jade he got from Li Shimin and thought that the Sihai Fleet was almost arriving at Asukakyo, the capital of Japan, which meant it was time to take the next step.

Completely renovate the island.
