099 Night of preparations
The night was dark, and a faint cloud covered the moon. I don’t know why the moon turned bright red like blood. Everyone felt an indescribable uneasiness in their hearts.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi held his famous 100-3 iron spear and sat on a rock looking up at the moon. The soldiers beside him were carefully helping him tie the armor on his body. This was a southern barbarian body, with a few small pits on the thin steel chest guard, which were traces left by the lead bullet of the foreign gun. It can be seen that the protective power of this armor is so high.
"Is it great to have muskets? I have the Nanman Do, who has the highest protection power in Japan. I will personally kill you annoying people..." Just as Yamamoto Kiyoshi whispered fiercely, his favorite little surname beside him said gently, "Sir, is it really okay for us to skip the old man of the Huashan family? Are you not afraid of being punished?"
"Haga!" Yamamoto Kiyoshi raised his hand and wanted to beat him, but he still couldn't bear to see Xiao's beautiful face. "You must remember that we are samurai and brave men who protect the way of samurai. We must not be timid in the face of the enemy... Lord Huashan has his considerations and difficulties. As subordinates, we must share his worries..."
If Xiao Letian heard what he said, his nose would be pissed. There were too many such brainless generals in modern Japanese history. Many military adventures were initiated by these low-level officers. Their fanatical minds were filled with tofu, without any view of the overall situation and strategy, and they only had fanatical enthusiasm for war.
To put it nicely, these low-level samurai are called devoting themselves to the Bushido. To put it bluntly, they want to get promoted and make money. In repeated military adventures, if they win, their senior management will certainly be rewarded. Once they fail, it doesn’t matter. These separatists are just good. Anyway, their Bushido pursues glory and death.
In the history of Xiao Letian traveling through time, the September 18th Incident that shocked China and abroad was actually a military adventure of young Japanese officers, a gambling. Several assistants and lieutenants connected in private and actually led 10,000 soldiers to Beidaying in Shenyang, and there was not even a general in the entire operation.
In the hearts of these middle and low-level officers, what they think is very similar to Yamamoto Kiyoshi. Victory is naturally a great hero, and failure is nothing more than death.
Ridiculous history, lamentable history. When the September 18th Incident broke out, the first person who was shocked was the Japanese government in Tokyo. All the senior politicians were stunned. The government of a country could not control the army, and did not even have the basic right to know. This shows that these samurai are so weird. Updated as soon as possible
Just as Yamamoto Kiyoshi was preparing for the action tonight, the lights in Sakuranosuke were already busy. Xiao Letian had already forced a large sum of money to requisition a whole street of houses. The boss and his servants were all expelled. Apart from the Chika and the brothers and sisters, No Hirata, there was no Japanese.
All the sliding doors in the room were opened, and each room was connected to each other to form a large living room. Xiao Letian sat in the middle and was giving battle orders to everyone present. At this time, Liang Kun was kneeling in front of Xiao Letian.
"Military advisor, all 245 veterans from the Nabagang Heavenly Kingdom have gathered together, just waiting for your order..." Liang Kun glanced at Shi Dakai, the wing king sitting in Xiao Letian's hand, his eyes full of confusion.
Liang Kun kept beating in his heart. He was a little confused. Xiao Letian was just a military advisor under the wing king Shi Dakai. But why did he sit in the main seat and give orders while the prince was sitting under his command? This is too unreasonable.
How could Shi Dakai not understand Liang Kun’s doubts? His eyes flashed and glared at him fiercely, and Liang Kun was so scared that he was sweating all over.
Liang Kun quickly said, "Military advisor, I am convinced of you today. When Chinese businessmen consulted me before, I said that you would not interfere too much, but I was wrong. I am convinced by what the military advisor did... Lao Liang, I kowtowed to you and apologized..."
Xiao Letian has always believed in these veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom only half. More and faster chapters are invited. Those veterans from Taibaiding have heard of their "The Journey to the West" and burned the imperial tombs with them, including quelling the rebellion at Tanggu Port. These veterans have gradually accepted Xiao Letian's leadership. In addition to Shi Dakai's conscious support, Xiao Letian's authority has been established.
Since Xiao Letian burned Yongzheng Mausoleum, Shi Dakai held a secret meeting with his brothers to reach unification. From now on, the command power was completely handed over to Xiao Letian, and the wing king Shi Dakai was only the nominal commander of a veteran of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Xiao Letian was relieved to Taibai's brothers, but he was cautious about other veterans scattered among the people. Xiao Letian could feel the hesitation revealed in Liang Kun's eyes, but Xiao Letian didn't care. He has now slowly supported his direct line and has become much less dependent on veterans of the kingdom. Please come to more and faster chapters.
The musket team represented by Luo Huo was trained by Xiao Letian himself, and this has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven. The Green Forest Special Forces represented by Xiang Shaolong is also Xiao Letian's direct lineage, and the Heavenly Kingdom system cannot control them at all. In addition, the group of merchants led by Fan Jian's shopkeeper is Xiao Letian's loyal wallet.
He is rich and has a gun, and now all he needs is time to gradually grow. Moreover, Xiao Letian is very confident. If he can't convince Liang Kun with his own abilities, he might as well travel back and continue from 9 to 5.
Xiao Letian nodded, "General Liang, get up first. No matter what doubts you have in your heart, you can tell me openly after the war, but what is about to begin is the national war. I hope you remember the identity of a Chinese and fight bravely to fight the enemy..."
Without saying a word, Liang Kun smashed his right fist into his chest and stood up and retreated. At this time, several soldiers had already carried several batches of white cloth and spread it on the ground.
The war is about to begin, and command is the top priority in the chaotic field battle. In this era without telegraphs and radios, the flag is the best command tool.
"Prince, I won't take out the bad words to show my ugly words. I'll ask the prince to accept these flags..."
Recognizing flags is a must-have item for marching and fighting in ancient times. Different teams must have their own flags, either with Chinese characters or patterns on them, and there are even various birds, beasts or divine beasts. The purpose of recognizing flags is to allow soldiers to find their place of ownership among the troops, and under the flag is the original formation.
The ink has been ground for a long time, with an extra-large wolf-haired pen walking dragon, and the rectangular flag-recognizing three large characters "Xiao Letian" from top to bottom, which are obviously very eye-catching in black and white. The first update is updated
This is a Japanese-style flag recognition. The rectangular flag is tied to a tough bamboo pole and is carried on the back of the strongest warrior. On the chaotic battlefield, these flags are the strongholds in the battle. The broken soldiers can find their own belongings when they find the flag.
"Prince, this... Is it okay to just use my name directly?" Xiao Letian thought that he would write the character Xiao or Chinese characters on the flag, as long as he could be recognized by the Chinese in all Naha. He really didn't expect that Shi Dakai would write his name casually.
"In this battle, the name of the military advisor will surely be famous overseas. The trend of the times is inspired by heroes. Our era has passed. Now it depends on yours... If you want to rule the Ryukyu Kingdom for a long time, you must show your might!"
Xiao Letian's eyes were a little wet. The Wing King is worthy of being the King of Righteousness in the words of the people of heaven. Just because of this mind and the dissipation of power, he is far beyond ordinary people. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Luo Huo! Take the flag... Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Liang Kun..." One middle-level officer after another was called, and one black and white flag after another was sent down, with a full range of ten.
Two hundred and forty Liang Kun's subordinates, plus the sixty elites brought by Xiao Letian, a team of more than 300 people was divided into ten teams, and the thirty Spencer rifles were also divided into various teams evenly.
Xiao Letian really hopes to use these weapons together, but it doesn't work. The phenomenon of Chinese living in a mixed manner is very serious. Once a conflict arises, the whole port will fight together. More and faster chapters are invited. The troops are not enough, and even if they are concentrated, there are only three hundred people. If you want to win this battle, you must rely on chaos. You have me and I have you, and you may have some chance of winning.
In the era of cold weapons, people were always sensitive to flags. Why is rebellious called raising flags? It means that flags are the first element of forming an army. The veterans of the heavenly kingdom and the guards of foreign companies present, watching the flags flying back and forth flying in front of them, suddenly felt something stuffed in their hearts, no one could say, but anyone could feel the heavyness.
"Brother, do you think the Japanese will really do it tonight?" Some of the soldiers waiting for the order quietly bit their ears.
"Nonsense, have you seen those ronin people not drinking or looking for women tonight? Look at this blood moon again, it looks like it's instinct. I can't make a mistake. There must be something wrong tonight..."
Xiao Letian has taken out his pocket watch many times. Now the pointer is past eleven o'clock. It is said that the Japanese should do it now? Just when Xiao Letian was anxious, suddenly there were bursts of noise from the distant pier in the quiet night, followed by a ray of light from the darkness.
"Military advisor! These pigs and dogs really took action. The fire broke out on the dock..." The condescending lookout hand shouted in grief and anger.
"Fuck! These Thousand Killers..." Even though Xiao Letian had made all kinds of preparations in his heart, once the real killing was provoked, he could not control his anger.
"The whole army obeys the order! The war fire has been lit. Whether we can save the Chinese in the city depends on us. The fire is our battlefield. I will take you out together..." Xiao Letian clenched the Colt pistol given by Lincoln and led the lead and rushed out first.
Liang Kun and his veterans were stunned. No one expected that the military advisor, a civil servant who had no martial arts skills, would rush out first, and the veterans were covered in murderous aura, almost fell off.
Xiao Hexin rushed over Liang Kun with a flag on his back, raised his eyes and said, "There are many things that will be surprised in the future. It will be a waste of life to follow the military advisor..." After saying that, he left.
Liang Kun felt like a thorn pierced in his heart, and he suddenly jumped three feet high. "Fuck the little Japanese slut, brothers rushed up with me... The military advisors have fought. What's the point of not fighting for our bad life..."
