Chapter 939 Comprehensive layout!
Edo, Yingzhou.
Shogunate.
Oda Shinichi clenched his fists tightly and looked at the two people in front of him with an angry face: "Baga!"
"Ono, Watanabe, didn't you tell this general that Dayu has no ability to sail at sea?"
"Why did this general receive news that those Yu people have landed from Akamaru Island?"
"How...how is it possible?"
Kentaro Ono looked unbelievable. Although the Yingzhou navy suffered losses in the East China Sea, the strength shown by Dayu's navy at that time was just a small-scale friction.
When did Dayu have the strength to defeat Yingzhou's mainland?
It's simply unbelievable!
You know, if you want a naval battle, you need more than just ships and navy. From food and grass supply to sea navigation to sea combat, a complete system is needed.
Dayu has never been to the sea, and even the country can't even build a decent warship. Now he is actually starting a long voyage?
"General, how many soldiers did Dayu bring?"
"According to the front line, there are 800 warships and two huge sea fortresses."
"At least 100,000 people!"
"Huh!"
Both of them exhaled, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly.
"General, don't worry."
"Dayu only brought 100,000 soldiers. They have never adapted to sailing on the sea. I believe they are vomiting and must have lost their combat effectiveness."
"I suggest that we send troops to meet the enemy directly."
"We have 300,000 soldiers in Yingzhou. Dayu's mere 100,000 soldiers will definitely make them come and go."
As soon as Watanabe Sawakawa finished speaking, some generals in the shogunate hall immediately came forward to ask for a fight.
"General, I am willing to lead the army!"
"Those Yu people don't understand the terrain of my Yingzhou at all. I only need 50,000 soldiers to defeat them all."
Ozawa Kentaro also hurriedly added: "General, I have seen Dayu's armored soldiers. They are simply vulnerable and cannot be compared with my Yingzhou warriors."
"Okay!"
Oda Shinichi also exhaled a deep breath. Some time ago, he declared war on Dayu with an arrogant face.
But he never thought that only half a month later, Dayu's ships had landed on Akamaru Island.
But he was determined not to admit defeat, let alone admit defeat, otherwise the majesty of the shogunate would be destroyed, and he, the shogunate's general, would lose all his prestige.
"Imagawa, I will give you 100,000 samurai, 3,000 ninjas, 500 chunins and 30 jonins. You must intercept Dayu's 100,000 soldiers on Akamaru Island."
"Hai!"
A middle-aged man in samurai clothes bowed deeply and strode out of the hall.
Oda Shinichi looked at the others and said softly: "Three days later, it will be the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Emperor of Ying. Now that the war is ahead, we must not slack off."
"This general does not want His Majesty the Emperor of Ying to receive the news of our defeat!"
"Hai!"
...
Akamaru Island.
The Yu army in armor filled every corner of the island, and all the residents on the island were escorted to the coast.
"From today on, Akamaru Island is the territory of Dayu."
"You have committed heinous crimes, and you must forgive me Dayu. Each person must pay one tael of silver, or mortgage food, meat and poultry!"
"If you can't gather them within three days, you will be killed without mercy!"
Qi Jiguang spoke loudly, and the thousands of Yingzhou people in front of him were all confused, obviously not understanding what he was saying.
"General, they don't understand!"
"Yeah!"
Qi Jiguang also nodded, and waved his hand directly: "They can't even understand my Central Plains language, they are indeed barbarians."
"Just kill them!"
"Kill them all!"
As soon as Qi Jiguang finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several Yingzhou people started to make noises. For a moment, the whole crowd began to get agitated.
"They want to kill us."
"Fight them!"
"Run!"
For a moment, thousands of Yingzhou people rushed to flee in all directions. Qi Jiguang showed a cruel smile: "Dare to resist?"
"All generals, listen to my order, kill them all!"
"Yes!"
A group of wolf-like and tiger-like figures rushed up, and in just a short stick of incense, the entire coast was dyed blood red.
Qi Jiguang showed a soothing smile on his face, attacking and defending aliens!
The hunting time has begun!
...
Time flies, and another three days have passed.
Today is the birthday of the Emperor Ying. The shogunate elders (official positions, similar to regents, second only to the generals) personally took care of it, and even pardoned prisoners and introduced tax exemption policies.
For a while, the whole of Edo was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
It is said that the Emperor Ying will worship the statues of the five major gods of Takama-ga-hara at the birthday banquet.
In a shop outside the palace, wine jars were taken off the carriage one by one. The servants in this shop were all strong and stern.
The shopkeeper half-closed his eyes and lay in front of the counter, looking towards the palace from time to time.
"Boss, the goods have been unloaded."
"Well, go down and rest, there will be a large batch of goods in the evening!"
"Okay!"
After the crowd dispersed, the shopkeeper walked to the backyard and bowed respectfully to the young people in the yard.
"Sir, the kerosene has been unloaded."
"Yes!"
Ning Fan nodded, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The Emperor Ying will hold a dinner in the palace tonight, and the main members of the royal family and the important officials of the shogunate will come to the banquet."
"After dark, I will send a team of elite soldiers to cover you in bringing the kerosene over."
"At the same time, someone will assassinate important officials of the shogunate."
"Your mission is to spread as much kerosene as possible in the palace."
"Don't worry, sir!"
The shopkeeper nodded heavily, then cupped his hands: "Do you want to assassinate Emperor Ying?"
"It's not that simple!"
Ning Fan shook his head. If he just set fire to the palace, then both the masters of the shogunate and the masters in the palace would protect their masters. But if he changed the setting of fire to assassination, it would be difficult to get away.
Moreover, it is not known whether the follow-up plan can be carried out smoothly. After all, there are 70,000 garrison troops stationed outside Edo City!
A moment later, Li Zhan of the Black Ice Terrace also came to the courtyard.
"Your Highness, our people are ready. At midnight tonight, the three major gangs in Edo will attack the residences of various officials."
"Just waiting for your order."
Ning Fan shook his head and said calmly: "Your mission is also to set fire!"
"In Edo's shops, alleys, government offices, and the homes of princes and ministers, all spread kerosene for me."
"As long as there is a fire in the palace tonight, you will set it on fire at the same time."
"This time, I will burn down half of Edo City!"
"This..."
Li Zhan was shocked by Ning Fan's words. He couldn't keep up with the rhythm of His Highness!
After burning down the palace, he also wanted to seize the city gate, but now, he still wants to burn down the whole Edo?
