open sea

Chapter 1494 Immortals
The vast villages of the vast land with a radius of three hundred miles to the west of London are at war.

In order to allow Tang Xianzu's drama team to perform everywhere, within a short period of one month, Uesugi Jingsheng went around everywhere and gained an indescribable reputation.

Ying Ming made a brief analysis of his troops, and finally decided that Uesugi Jingsheng was not yet suitable to be sent to the north to fight against the Scottish Legion, and ordered him to suppress bandits between London House and Poole County based on intelligence.

His 4000 men were called the Uesugi Guards, a light infantry without battlefield support.

Because it is a reorganized unit, the composition of soldiers is very good. Even Ashigaru has experienced fighting in the Japanese archipelago, and later became a professional soldier in Jincheng for several years.

There are also a large number of skilled warriors.

But there are also many problems. First, there is no artillery, second, there is no cavalry, and third, there are very few muskets. Only by mixing with archers can they barely reach a ratio of [-]%.

This caused their status to be very embarrassing, and it was a bit inferior to using it to suppress bandits.

It was used to fight recklessly with the northern rebels and the Scottish Legion, and when the battle report was sent back to the army, Ying Ming was afraid that the heavy casualties would make Chen Mu feel that he had a low IQ.

No matter how proficient the record is, troops lacking muskets and artillery can only take advantage of small-scale battles. Large-scale tough battles are too disadvantageous, let alone their main weapons are spears and knives.

A dozen iron cans charged in riding on Shire horses, and they were able to crush and disperse several centurions one after another and retreat.

The same is worn all over the body. Ying Ming believes that in terms of impact and protection capabilities, the impact of iron cans is indeed unparalleled in the world, and the Beiyang cavalry is also inferior.

This thing should be admitted clearly. When he himself led the cavalry to fight, he would lead people to retreat when he saw enemy knights engaging in group assaults.

After all, the cost of equipment is different. Whoever is full can take a T-34 one-on-one to find a tiger one-on-one.

The Beiyang cavalry never emphasized personal bravery, and tried their best to avoid cavalry showing personal bravery in battle. It is precisely because of this that the knights who are armed to the teeth and threaten them are always deflated.

Because in Ying Ming's eyes, this group of nobles are two extremes.

Either they are too cowardly or even war-weary, just like the ones who took an arrow with them when they went out to fight in the siege of Puli, shot it out with a longbow under the city, and rode home on horseback.

Either you can't do it fiercely and don't fear life and death, relying on horse weight and thickening, the two armies will tear open the gap and rush forward at the beginning of the battle, not afraid of anything.

And after all, this kind of thing is a minority in the army, so it's really bad luck to be caught one-on-one.

But it’s not the case when it comes to Uesugi Jingsheng’s barefoot team. Their knives and spears can’t hurt the knights. The Iron King is gone.

But in the battle against bandits, the Jingsheng barefoot team is almost invincible.

At any rate, the northern rebels still have Scotland shining brightly and France secretly providing support.

Compared with them, the southern rebels were much worse. It was a group of stupid farmers who followed the bad nobles, and the nobles couldn't even provide them with weapons and armor.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bandit.

Although the Barefoot team is physically shorter and thinner, their weapons, tactics, courage, and quality are much stronger than those of the rebels.

After half a month of suppressing the bandits, a thick stack of battle reports was sent to London, making Ying Ming feel that his subordinates are a group of gods.

Two low-level samurai from the Tokugawa clan broke away from the centurion and said they were going to go hunting. They brought four ashigaru with them, but in fact they wanted to go to a nearby village and take the opportunity to rob and get some property.

Six people entered the village head-on, who knew that they were unlucky. Just half an hour ago, a group of rebels entered the village they were targeting to rob, and they were caught first.

The two of them immediately became furious and drew their swords and chased after them. The fucking colleagues are enemies!

Although Uesugi Jingsheng is the leader of Uesugi Wei, most of the samurai under his command are from the Tokugawa clan, mainly poor ghost samurai from Mikawa.

Whether it was the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expedition or the Western Expedition, the princes of Japan contributed a lot.

The underlying reason behind this is that the great king Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the general Tokugawa Ieyasu, who were canonized by Wanli, were worried about many princes.

Going out with the Ming army-this is basically tantamount to exile.

Except for Uesugi Kenshin who really wanted to drive the Ming army to the expedition, almost no one led the expedition with a name, and they were all sent out by name.

Others sent disobedient little chieftains from wealthy local clans who had returned after the war, but Tokugawa Ieyasu was not. He sincerely wanted to send the Mikawa warriors out.

Don't look at what Ieyasu always praises about Mihe warriors and Mihe souls to outsiders, in fact, he doesn't like those Mihe warriors at all.

Except for a few people, the vast majority of Mikawa warriors are outsiders in foreign wars and experts in fighting inside.

In the history of China, there are many spirits comparable to Sanhe Soul.

For example, Han Wenyue, the Xiliang rebel at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the loyal Anlu Mountain at the end of the Tang Dynasty, probably only Hong Chengchou, who had a clear goal at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was better than them.

The emperor asked him to suppress the peasant army. Well, the supervisor will go to suppress the peasant army.

After the suppression, even if the national policy of Ming Dynasty changed from fighting against the outside world first to making peace within the country, it changed its official robes and hairstyles, but the goal of the Master Supervisor never changed. Do it right.

From fighting the king at the age of 36 to suppressing the king until the age of 70, he also formed his own rebel alliance, and almost all the main generals under his command rebelled twice.

Very rock and roll.

Mikawa Samurai is also very rock and roll, they are the first group of people who don't want to go home when they arrive in Toyo.

The family is poor, like a low-level samurai with a hundred stones of knowledge, and an ashigaru little boss. It sounds bluffing, but in fact, he manages land that produces a hundred stones of grain, forty or fifty acres of land, similar to a fiefdom.

After finishing the work, five publics and five people have to pay half of it.

When food is grown, the farmers who plant the land have to eat, the servants at home have to pay, and a few militiamen who have served in the military also have to have their salaries, weapons and armor and other scattered expenses, not to mention if they can't maintain a decent life. Yes, the key point is that many people simply can't get enough to eat.

Not everyone knows everything, the worst is the low-level warriors under the senior warriors under the minor nobles, and the low-level warriors under the middle-level warriors.

Some people know and do only three stones.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, even an acre and a half of land could not be assigned to a permanent landlord.

On the contrary, it made it easier for them to go to North Asia. They didn't have to worry about military service, and they were in charge of food and housing with the army, not to mention that the guards also had military land, and a small banner officer would have two or three hundred stones of knowledge and action.

Although the tax collection of the guard is similar to their five publics and five people, after all, they can eat enough and feel comfortable like a fairy.

Because of this, when they arrived in England, it was like a wolf entering a sheepfold, wanting to bite everywhere.

In this way, two low-ranking samurai from the Tokugawa clan chased the rebels straight into the thief's den, and were blocked in the village and beat them for a whole afternoon. When their hundred families came to help them in the middle of the night, they not only survived, but also killed them. More than 40 enemies were hacked to death and wounded, with a remarkable record.

Ying Ming was curious about how the two fought.

Not to mention forty pigs, even four pigs can knock these two people half to pieces, right?
