Chapter 2326: Wu Qi used the strategy, the naval battle of Jiuzhou
With Oda Nobunaga and Kenno Uesugi set an example, Japan''s major names are naturally not easy to work and work, so they all expressed their intention to dispatch naval troops to help Kyushu Island.
Your family paid five thousand, my family paid four thousand, and the least one was sent out three thousand.
With the integration of multiple forces, a total of 70,000 navy troops were gathered.
Oda Nobunaga was also shocked after seeing this number. He never expected that these defeated generals had such a strong force hidden in their hands. There was no need to have fewer Japanese imperial naval forces when they joined forces.
If this hadn''t been the sudden invasion of the Qin army, there would be only one enemy of the navy of these forces, and that would be the Japanese Empire.
As soon as he thought of this, Oda Nobunaga did not speak out on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart: "This group of sinister bastards."
The local daimyos of Kyushu, such as Takamoto Mori, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Imakawa Yoshimoto, saw that the daimyos generously donated their money and dispatched naval troops to help Kyushu. They were both excited and felt. After looking at each other, they bowed together and said, "Thank you all."
Just bowing, there was no loss to them, but if they were asking them to give anything else, they would definitely not agree.
After some discussion, the ten countries who came to participate in the alliance reached an agreement and agreed to the alliance to fight against the invasion of the Qin Dynasty. The leader of the anti-Qin alliance was naturally the Japanese overlord Oda Nobunaga.
Since then, the 11-Nation Alliance of Japan was established, with the leader of Oda Nobunaga, and there are two deputy leaders under it, respectively, Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Gotakea.
"Everyone, although the Qin naval army has expanded, it is definitely not as large as ours, but the water battle is not driven by the number of people.
The warships of the Qin Dynasty are much more advanced than those of our Japan, so even if our naval army is twice as many as that of the Qin army, we still have to make the worst plans, so we must also prepare for land war in advance. ”
As he said that, Oda Nobunaga''s eyes glanced at the daimyo, and then ordered as the leader of the alliance, "I passed the order of the leader of the alliance. From now on, all the eleven countries in Japan will enter a wartime state until the Qin Dynasty is defeated."
"Abide by the name of the leader."
Datukun Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen and other daimyos responded in unison.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the Daming again, "If the water battle is defeated, how should the land battle be fought?"
The four islands of Japan have a population of more than 5 million, which is no less than the total population of a state in the Central Plains, and even more than the population of remote states such as Youliangjiao.
Therefore, if Japan conducts extreme recruitment, it can fully afford a 500,000 army when fighting on the local area.
But although there are many troops from the 500,000 troops, they cannot defend the entire territory of Japan.
After all, Japan is an island country. Once the navy is defeated, the Qin army can land at will throughout Japan. With Japan''s long coastline, 500,000 troops are still not enough, and it is impossible to scatter all over the country.
So, this also made Oda Nobunaga make up his mind that the Kyushu Navy must not lose, otherwise it would be too passive for the Japan Eleven League.
After the meeting, Daming also returned to China, and various major actions such as recruiting troops, collecting grain, mobilizing troops, and building armies were constantly being carried out. Moreover, most of the navy troops in Japan began to gather in the 10,000,000 states.
As for the commander of this huge navy army of tens of thousands, it was naturally the leader of the alliance, Nobunaga Oda.
The local Japanese people were confused after seeing this scene and had no idea what was going on. They had beaten you before and were my eleven countries. Why did they unite without any warning?
What kind of enemy can the Eleven Nations join forces to deal with it?
For a time, the whole country was panicked.
————
On March 11, Qingzhou, Beihai County.
In the Qin Central Army''s central tent, senior officials of the Qin and Wei armies such as Zhou Yu and Xiahou Yuan were gathering together to discuss the matter of sending troops to conquer the Japanese in three days.
"This governor has received a message from the Song and Wu countries. At present, the waterway troops of the two countries are in place. We only wait for four days. When the date of the appointment is reached, the three countries'' naval forces will send troops to Japan together." Zhou Yu said with a faint smile.
Why is it said to be the Three Kingdoms Navy? Of course, it was because Wei State had no naval army.
"Three days later, the Qin, Song and Wu naval forces will jointly attack Jiuzhou Island. After occupying the port, let the army land on the Japanese island..."
Zhou Yu stood above and talked, his arrangement was almost perfect, leaving Cao Wei generals speechless.
At this moment, Le Yi stood up and asked, "Governor Zhou, since war is about to start, can the topographic map of Japan be announced in advance?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The generals of Cao Wei didn''t look at Japan very much, and felt that the Japanese army was vulnerable. There were not many generals as cautious as Le Yi.
Ei Lai walked over, wrapped his thick arms over, put them on Le Yi''s shoulder, and smiled and said, "Brother Le, you should be cautious, just a barbarian country. How can you do anything to deal with them? With the combat power of our Great Wei, you can just push them all the way."
Le Yi said seriously: "It''s no mistake to be cautious. As long as you can reduce casualties, even if you die one less person, it''s worth it."
After saying that, Le Yi looked straight at Zhou Yu again, with the meaning in his eyes self-evident.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, then waved to the guards and carried a huge Japanese terrain map in.
Japan divides regions by three levels: country, county and city, and the mountains, rivers and landforms are basically expressed in the picture.
The generals of the Qin army showed disgust when they saw that there was only a map but no sand table.
After getting used to looking at the sand table, I was looking at this simple map. Not to mention other generals, even Zhou Yu was a little uncomfortable.
The generals of the Wei army didn''t mind, and they surrounded them after seeing the map.
"Hyugao? Ohashi? Echizen?"
Cao Hong muttered, laughed: "There are so many countries in this big place in Japan? And this country is too small, right?"
"The size of a country in Japan is not even as big as that of our Great Wei. It is too overestimated to be a country in a county," Xiahou Dun sneered.
"No wonder the emperor of Japan dared to call himself the emperor." Yu Rongwang mocked.
Qi Jiguang stood up and explained: "Everyone, Japan is different from my Shenzhou. Their country is equivalent to a county, county is equivalent to a county, and county is equivalent to a town. Japan has a total of 54 countries."
"So, Japan is equivalent to having 54 counties?"
Le Jin showed surprise. After all, Wei State only had ten counties, and then smiled and said, "But this county is too small. In my opinion, it is almost the same as the county."
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "The counties in Japan are indeed much smaller than those in the Central Plains. However, the entire territory of Japan has more than 5 million people, and the number is not smaller than that of a state in the Central Plains."
“Five million?”
Xiahou Yuan showed surprise. After all, the total population of Wei State was only three million. The population of the only Japanese barbarians was even greater than that of Wei State?
After a brief surprise, a glimmer flashed in Xiahou Yuan and Le Yi''s eyes.
In addition to shortage of money, the Wei State also lacks population, so they all have the idea of ??capturing Japanese people as slaves to alleviate the problem of insufficient labor in Wei State and the idea of ??using Japanese slaves as army as cannon fodder.
Although Xiahou Yuan and Le Yi both thought of this, they did not mention it, but kept silent and pretended that it had never happened before, so as to prevent the Qin army from obstructing them.
At this moment, a secret spy suddenly came to report.
"Report... to the Grand Commander, the secret spies lurking in Japan sent back the news that the eleven countries of Japan had obtained the news that our army was about to conquer the Japanese, so they formed an alliance in Edo Castle. At present, domestic troops were mobilized frequently."
Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other Wei generals were all disgusted. After all, the casualties they suffered from fighting an unprepared enemy are completely different from those who have prepared.
"Are you still discovered?"
Zhou Yu sighed lightly, but there was no surprise on his face. After all, he guessed from the beginning that Japan had a spy in the Central Plains, and the dispatch of the army was so loud that it was impossible to hide it all the time. The news of the Japanese conquest was exposed was just a matter of time.
"But even if the news of the Japanese conquest was exposed, there is nothing that cannot be fought for our coalition."
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Huang Zhong asked in confusion: "What does the Grand Governor mean?"
"My coalition forces are about to go to war. Even if Japan is deploying troops at this time, it will be too late. When they are ready, we have already landed in Japan." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
The generals of Qin and Wei nodded after hearing this. After all, the dispatch of the army is not that simple, and it takes time to prepare, and this period is enough for the coalition forces to land.
At this moment, Wu Qi stood up and said, "Grandmaster, although the news of the conquest of the Japanese has been exposed, the news of the four alliances of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu jointly conquered the Japanese. The Japanese side should not know about it."
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this and nodded immediately.
The Japanese were worried about the revenge of the Qin Dynasty, so they planted a large number of spies in the Qin State, but they might not have also planted secret spies in the Song and Wu countries. After all, the Song and Wu countries did not have the ability to retaliate against Japan alone, so it is very likely that the Song and Wu naval army would send troops together with the Qin State.
Wu Qi''s eyes were full of wisdom and said confidently: "Since Japan does not know about this, and only thinks that it is my country''s Qin who sends troops, then I can send troops in advance to attract the attention of the Japanese naval army on the front. When the naval battle is reached, the Song and Wu naval army will be able to attack the Japanese naval army in one fell swoop."
“Hiss…”
Not only Qin generals such as Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang, but also Wei generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Le Yi were shocked by Wu Qi''s plan.
To be honest, Wu Qi''s plan is not complicated, but it is very simple, but very practical. If it goes well, it can completely destroy the Japanese naval army in one battle.
Some Wei generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Le Yi changed their eyes when they looked at Wu Qi instantly, full of fear.
They never expected that a general who was not famous at all appeared in the Qin army, and he had such superb strategies.
The top martial arts scholar Chen Tang and the second-level Chen Dao looked at Wu Qi and the eyes changed, but they still admired more. Why didn’t they expect such a simple and practical strategy?
Wang Jian stared at Wu Qi with his eyes, feeling a little annoyed, and he was one step slower than Wu Qi. He actually thought of this plan, but before he could say it, he was forcibly forced by Wu Qi.
Wu Qi did not care about everyone''s eyes and said to himself: "In addition, when it has been exposed, the earlier our army sends troops, the shorter the preparation time of Japan. It is better to send troops in advance."
Zhou Yu pondered for a while, then suddenly made a decision: "General Wu said so much. This governor decided to send troops four days in advance." His eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Wu Qi.
When the generals heard this, they were stunned.
The four-nation coalition forces originally made an appointment to launch troops on March 15th, but now it is March 11th.
Soldiers four days in advance? That''s today!
"Well, Grand Governor, if you send troops today, isn''t it a bit too hasty?" Zhao Yun said with a wry smile.
Zhou Yu said uneasy: "Soldiers are more important than speed, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting, how can it be delayed?
However, tens of thousands of troops have set out to fight, and it really takes time to prepare.
Since that''s the case, let''s send troops tomorrow, three days in advance. ”
Seeing this, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others all seemed to be willing to say anything, but in the end they didn''t say anything, just said in their hearts: Zhou Yu is worthy of being Bai Qi''s disciple, and his decisive look is exactly the same as Bai Qi.
"Come here, please send a message to the Song and Wu countries quickly and ask them to cooperate with our army''s actions."
"No."
In this way, Zhou Yu decided to adopt Wu Qi''s plan and set off on the way to conquer the Japanese three days in advance.
On the other hand, Guo Jia, Ye Qingmei, Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, Chonglou and others who were still on the way to Beihai were all stunned after receiving Zhou Yu''s message.
"What? Zhou Yu sent troops in advance? But Lord Guo, the military advisor and I, the military supervisor, have not yet arrived in Beihai." Ye Qingmei said in surprise.
Japan has a great master. In order to prevent its generals from being assassinated by the great masters of Japan, Ying Hao sent three great masters Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang and Chonglou to help.
In addition, Ying Hao also appointed Guo Jia as military advisor and Ye Qingmei as military supervisor, so that they could also help Zhou Yu with his help.
At the speed of Ye Qingmei and others, they could have arrived in Beihai before sending troops, but they never expected that Zhou Yu would send troops three days in advance.
Guo Jia looked at Zhou Yu''s message and frowned and said, "Zhou Yu will send troops in advance because Japan has learned the news that our army was conquering Japan. The earlier our army sent troops, the less time it took to prepare for Japan."
"But what should we do?" Ye Qingmei smiled bitterly.
After a little thought, Guo Jia bowed to Dugu Qiubai behind him and said seriously: "Mr. Dugu, please, please be sure to take us to Beihai Water Village before sending troops."
"clear."
Dugu Qiubai saluted him, then jumped off his horse, carried Guo Jia on his back, and ran towards Beihai, which was much faster than the war horse.
Ye Qingmei was stunned when she saw this. After she realized it, Huang Shang had already come to her horse and signaled her to jump onto her back.
Ye Qingmei was helpless and wanted to arrive in time. She couldn''t rely on horses, so she could only rely on the strength of the master''s feet. So she jumped up and said, "Mr. Huang Shang, be at ease, I''m afraid of being confused...ah..."
Seeing this, Chonglou jumped off his quilt, abandoned his horse and ran towards Beihai Harbor with a run.
As for those ordinary guards, it is naturally impossible to be more favorable.
Under the ''escort'' of the three great masters, Guo Jia and Ye Qingmei were delivered in time before Zhou Yu sent troops, but both of them were both tossed and looked like they were hopeless.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed, so he pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted and ordered: "Tell me, general, the fleet will be set off and the troops will be sent to conquer the Japanese."
"The Grand Governor has an order to set sail to conquer the Japanese."
"Survey the Japanese..."
With Zhou Yu''s order, 40,000 Qin naval troops and 200 various warships sailed out of the Beihai Water Village one after another.
The other two hundred warships from Bohai Water Village and Tianjin Water Village have been waiting at sea for a long time.
Four hundred warships from the three major water villages sailed out, joined forces and drove towards Japan, pointing at Kyushu Island.
The news of Zhou Yu''s conquest of Japan three days in advance was soon passed back to Japan by the spy left by the Uesugi family through the delivery of a letter from Fei Ge.
At this point, the naval battle in Jiuzhou is about to break out.
