Toyokawa Mayuki not only has an official residence here, he also has his own castle tower in Osaka next to it.
¡°It¡¯s just to protect the emperor, he is here most of the time.
Even Osaka is only a few dozen miles away from here.
The winter here in Osaka is relatively mild, and it rarely snows.
But there was still a raging fire burning in the fire pit in the middle of the room.
Compared with a year ago, there are obviously fewer people sitting in this room.
The most important people under Toyokawa Mahyuki are the three divine generals and the five great guard generals. As a result, this time in the Dakang strategy, one of the three divine generals, Nobutsuna Ikeno, was directly lost. This was also the most heartbreaking for Toyokawa Mahyuki.
" Toyokawa Makoto can accept his fate as the commander of an army of 100,000 people, which shows the ability and trustworthiness of Ikeno Nobutsuna.
Ikeno Nobutsuna was also unlucky.
If it was in a wild battle, he would probably be able to escape.
But they happened to occupy a city and wanted to hold back more of Dakang's troops.
In the end, Liu Mingqi, who acted without common sense, directly smoked most of them to death with kerosene. The rest had no fighting power, and the entire army ended up being annihilated.
This information was obtained by Japanese spies in the autumn by buying off the sergeants who participated in the siege.
Toyokawa Makoto has nothing to say about this kind of fighting method.
This is also in Dakang.
In Dakang, millions of kilograms of kerosene can be thrown out for free, and then directly burned to death of tens of thousands of people.
If the quantity is not enough, the kerosene will not have such a great smoke effect at all.
And because in order to facilitate defense, Ikeno Nobutsuna occupied a small city with a small area, so he was more likely to be smoked to death.
If you were to occupy cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinling, and you wanted to smoke the people inside, you would have to increase the amount of kerosene tenfold.
Even Dakang is not so generous.
So this is God¡¯s destiny for Ikeno Nobutsuna to die in this battle, and Toyokawa Mayuki can¡¯t do anything about it.
As for Kobayashi Gongbao, one of the five remaining guard generals who died in the battle, he also encountered the enemy's flanking attacks and crazy sniping with wooden-handled grenades, and there was no way to die in battle.
But for Shimura Yasukatsu, who was said to have defected to Dakang and became a shameful traitor, Toyokawa Makoto didn't feel any regret in his heart. Instead, he killed Shimura Yasukatsu's whole family without much confirmation after he came back.
A total of more than 300,000 troops were dispatched during Dakang's attack on Japan, but only 150,000 or 60,000 were able to return in the end, of which 30,000 were the wounded soldiers who were transported back together with the looted wealth for the first time.
In addition to the casualties of generals, Japan lost a large number of middle and lower-level generals, which Toyokawa Mayuki felt very distressed about.
It will take at least three to five years to recover from the losses of such a key group of generals.
If it hadn't been for the last evacuation, Toyokawa Mahyuki forced more than 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death, and the Japanese daimyo led more than 100,000 private soldiers until only 20,000 or 30,000 were left. Toyokawa Mahyuki would still have to worry about his own life. "The country is unstable."
It¡¯s okay now. Anyway, the big names like them have suffered greater losses than themselves. Our eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, are all in bad luck.
What made Toyokawa Makoto feel a little gratified was that when he took advantage of the entire Dakang Northern Navy to escort the Yulin Guards to the north to attack Shi Wei's army, he not only transported more than 30,000 disabled sergeants back, but also robbed most of them. The property was brought back to Japan.
¡°Otherwise, how many treasures could they have brought back with them in the panic when they boarded the ship at Songjiang Prefecture Port?
There is not much else about Japan, except that it has a large population. With a population of more than 20 million, as long as there is enough time and wealth, it can replenish its army and make a comeback.
And the families of generals and soldiers who were injured and killed in battle also need a certain degree of pension, otherwise who would dare to fight with you in the future?
Fortunately, he has this wealth, otherwise Toyokawa Makoto would have to go bankrupt.
¡¡
After passing through his thoughts, Toyokawa Makoto turned to look at a young man sitting on the right side.
This young man has a gloomy face and is dressed in a completely different style from Japan.
Of course it¡¯s not just him, many Japanese nobles like to imitate Dakang¡¯s clothing styles in order to feel superior to others.
But this young man is not Japanese at all, but a serious and well-educated person from Dakang.
"Mr. Lin."
Toyokawa Makoto took it easy.p; Toyokawa Makoto had no choice and did not dare to get angry. He could only tell the craftsmen in a good voice and angrily, just let them do their best and don¡¯t be burdened. And if you make good black powder, there will be many problems. award.
That kind of pain that is clearly within reach, but has no way to finally get it, is really uncomfortable!
Of course he didn¡¯t know that the power of black gunpowder was actually not that great. Liu Mingqi added picric acid explosive, which doubled the power.
As for how to make the stable picric acid explosive also participate in the explosion reaction, Liu Mingqi made some improvements in the detonator.
"These little things, if no one points them out, are absolutely impossible to imitate given people's vague sense of various physical reactions today.
??Making explosives, shells and cannons are all very scientific things.
It is impossible to obtain stable and large-scale output by relying solely on feeling and various vague operations. This is why many scientific inventions in ancient my country did not last.
Because they have not formed a stable inheritance system and have not used data and science to interpret these scientific inventions, it is naturally impossible for anyone to follow their path.
No matter how hard it is to say that modern Chinese education is cramming education and exam-oriented education, this kind of education can be passed on and has rules and regulations to follow.
To put it simply, a bachelor, even a graduate from a third-rate university, can provide the same scientific enlightenment to different children as a graduate from a first-rate university.
The knowledge they teach is exactly the same, especially the basic knowledge.
But in ancient times, even if you asked two brothers from the same sect of the Mohist family to teach students, the students they taught would be different.
So you know why ancient science could not progress.
Because after every disciple is taught, he uses his own thinking to consider problems. In the process of thinking, it is easy to deviate from the knowledge taught by the master.
Once there is a deviation, it is equivalent to starting the same path again and repeatedly discussing the achievements and problems made by the predecessors.
But in modern times, there will be no such problem, because these basic knowledge, formulas, axioms, and theorems are already the truth. You don't have to doubt it, just continue to study on this basis and climb up.
This is the huge progress brought about by systematic and systematic scientific education.
Now the outstanding craftsmen in Japan are stuck on this.
They don¡¯t even know that the explosive contains picric acid explosives, so how can they come up with a wooden handle grenade that is truly equally powerful?
