    Night still shrouded the earth, and Edo Castle was like a huge torch, shining with dazzling light in the dark night. Cao Ling's military tent was also brightly lit, and the four generals Wang Hua, Gesleng, Qi Yuangong, and Ma Xianglin were all there.  Take orders in the tent!

    Cao Ling looked at Gesleng and asked: "Lao Ge, you are the only one who has fought against the Japanese. Can you tell me how powerful the Japanese are?"

    Gesleng took a step forward, first saluted a military salute, and then said in a loud voice: "Commander Qi, the last general was ordered to attack the Japanese army today. The Blood Banner Army attacked seven times, killing more than 2,200 Japanese in total.  There are no casualties in our army, but the general feels that the Japanese are too powerful and should not be underestimated!"

    Cao Ling said with a smile: "Since you killed more than 2,200 Japanese, but did not suffer any casualties yourself, how can you still say that the Japanese are powerful?"

    Geslen frowned slightly and said: "Commander, it's not that the last general has the prestige of others and destroyed his own morale. He lost more than two thousand people without hurting any enemy, but the formation never showed signs of collapse. Such tenacity of the Mongolians  It is impossible to have the Jurchens, even our Ming Dynasty I am afraid that except for our Guards, other troops and horses may not be able to do it!"

    Cao Ling nodded happily and said: "I am really pleased that Lao Ge has such knowledge and is worthy of such a big responsibility. Moreover, Lao Ge's words are also very reasonable. Literary people say that when three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. His Majesty also said it more than once  However, we soldiers must also learn to learn the advantages from our opponents. The resilience of the Japanese is what we need to learn. However, we don¡¯t have to think too highly of the Japanese. Now our entire army has realized the use of firearms, including Mini rifles and cannons.  Everyone knows its power, and I believe that no matter how tenacious the Japanese are, their failure is definitely doomed under the attack of our army¡¯s powerful firepower!¡±

    Qi Yuangong took a step forward and saluted: "Commander, the cavalry has made great achievements today, but our infantry has made no achievements at all. I will ask the commander-in-chief to allow our army to launch a general attack on the Japanese chieftain tomorrow. I will guarantee that all our achievements will be completed in one battle!"

    Seeing that Qi Yuangong was full of morale and eager to fight, Cao Ling said with satisfaction: "Commander Qi, don't be impatient. Today the infantry destroyed Edo Castle with artillery and forced Tokugawa Hidetada to abandon the city. This is already a great achievement. As for attacking Tokugawa  Xiuzhong¡¯s main formation, I plan to wait a little longer!¡±

    Wang Hua and Cao Ling were Han soldiers who were tortured by Zhu Youxiao, so they naturally knew Cao Ling very well. He smiled and said, "Is the commander planning to give up the plan to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements?"

    Cao Ling smiled and said: "Old Wang, you understand me. We now have the advantage of firepower. Instead of fighting the Japanese pirates one by one, it is better to let them get together and defeat Tokugawa Hidetada's diehard loyalists."  , the affairs of Japan can be settled!"

    Wang Hua thought for a moment and said: "Judging from the current information, Tokugawa Hidetada can gather about 80,000 banner warriors, while we only have over 30,000, including 8,000 cavalry who use cold weapons.

    If the Japanese are allowed to get together, this battle will not be easy to fight!  "

    Cao Ling nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult to fight, but Tokugawa Hidetada's banner warriors are all approaching him sporadically. If we encircle a point for reinforcements, concentrating our forces will not be effective. If we disperse our forces, we will lose our strength."  Advantages, it would be better to let them concentrate, it will be easier for us to take action!"

    Wang Hua asked again: "What about the other famous names in the Japanese country?"

    Cao Ling showed a hint of sneer and said: "As long as the Tokugawa family is destroyed, other daimyo will not be afraid. I have already planned to raid Kyoto immediately after destroying the Tokugawa family. By then, as long as I have the Housuiwei in my hands, Japan  The country is in my Ming Dynasty¡¯s pocket!¡±

    Everyone nodded after listening to Cao Ling's words. There are now more than 200 daimyo in the Japanese country. The most powerful among them is naturally the Tokugawa Shogunate, followed by the Tokugawa family's close vassal daimyo, that is, the Tokugawa family.  Relatives, these famous names occupy the best territory in this Japanese country!

    Again, there are the Daimyos of the Tokugawa family. These Daimyos are retainers of the Tokugawa family. They were named daimyo because of their great merits. The territory and strength of these Daimyos are slightly inferior to those of their close lords, but because they are inherently German.  He is a close confidant of the Chuan family, so his life must be very comfortable.

    There are also some gaibei daimyo. The so-called gaibei daimyo are the daimyo who were defeated by the Tokugawa family and had to surrender to the Tokugawa family. These gaibei daimyo are also the daimyo who are most guarded by the Tokugawa family. Not only do they need to change their territory, but they also have to surrender.  Surveillance will also be arranged around the outside daimyo by the daimyo of the feudal clan or the daimyo of the clan!

    In fact, the Tokugawa family is the name of the Toyotomi family. After Tokugawa Ieyasu surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was moved from his hometown of Mikawa country to Edo in Kanzhong. That is to say, Tokugawa Ieyasu was so powerful that he was forced to live in Edo.  The household has grown its strength to the point of confronting the Toyotomi family.The point!

    It was precisely because the Tokugawa family had such an experience that they took even stricter precautions against the daimyo. In order to weaken those daimyo to the maximum extent, the Tokugawa shogunate not only increased the number of daimyo, weakening the individual strength of daimyo in various places, but also weakened the daimyo.  The fiefdoms of the three daimyo were mixed together to monitor and restrict each other!

    It was a very wise move for the Tokugawa family to do this. It was precisely the measures taken by the Tokugawa family that ended the Warring States Period of Japan and established the 267-year Tokugawa Shogunate Era!

    However, this wise move turned into a huge loophole when the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops to Japan, because as long as the Tokugawa family was eliminated, there would be no daimyo in Japan who could handle the Ming attack alone.  But the Ming Dynasty could concentrate its forces and eliminate those famous names one by one!

    Of course, those big names can also unite to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but without the leadership of the Tokugawa family, those big names are equivalent to a leaderless group. It is simply impossible for such a group of people to get together to explode with powerful power!

    The reason why Cao Ling changed the planned battle plan was because of this situation. In Cao Ling's view, Tokugawa Hidetada's army was already a turtle in the urn. As long as Tokugawa Hidetada was eliminated, and then he took control of Gosuiwei, and asked Gosuiwei to ask the emperor for garrison protection,  Then it would be justifiable for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Japanese country. Even if those famous people wanted to resist, the Ming Dynasty's army could attack them with Hou Shuiwei's order!

    Without strength and no righteousness and reputation, it is simply wishful thinking for the name of the Japanese country to make waves!

    "Order!" After getting everyone's unanimous consent, Cao Ling stood up and shouted: "First, there is no need to intercept the Japanese reinforcements and make them reunite with the Japanese chiefs. Second, the Guards infantry began to harass the Japanese chiefs' camp from now on.  It must be made like a frightened bird, terrified all day long. Third, the Guards cavalry patrols outside the Japanese chief's camp in batches. If the Japanese chief abandons the camp and leaves, resolute attacks will be carried out. In any case, the Japanese chief must be trapped in place. Chapter 2  Fourth, support the fleet. I will give them five days to hunt slaves. After five days, they must travel back and forth between Jeju Island and Edo as soon as possible to transport the next batch of supplies. Fifth, notify Geng Zhongming and Matsudaira Kubo to send Tsushima Island  Throw it to the support fleet and ask them to lead people to Edo immediately. This battle is named 'Trapped Beast', and I want to trap Tokugawa Hidetada to death here!"

    After Cao Ling¡¯s order was issued, everyone immediately saluted and said, ¡°Yes!¡±

    Immediately afterwards, the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force started to operate like a sophisticated machine. The Guards infantry originally prepared to intercept the Japanese reinforcements all withdrew to the camp, and only a small number of steel tiger squatting cannons and precision shooters were sent to harass Tokugawa Hidetada's army!

    At the same time, the Guards cavalry, organized into a team of a hundred cavalry, appeared in the sight of the Japanese army from time to time, so that the Japanese who were distracted by the Guards infantry did not dare to run away even if they wanted to!

    At the same time, the sailors supporting the fleet also accelerated their hunt for slaves. They were no longer organized into units of two thousand people, but were dispersed into teams of five hundred people, searching for property and capturing slaves everywhere!

    For a time, with Edo Castle as the center, almost all the Japanese within a radius of thirty miles were captured by the sailors of the support fleet. Even the samurai of the Tokugawa Shogunate were captured by them. It can be said that support  The sailors of the fleet made great contributions to Cao Ling's army in defeating Tokugawa Hidetada!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
