After hearing this, Queen Taisong's face turned red... What did this idiot Gurtai mean by saying this? Do you also have a crush on me? But I am not such a casual woman!
Funing, on the other hand, has the urge to kill people. This Mang Gurtai is a bastard. Like Daishan, he is not my good Amma!
Daishan, on the other hand, was speechless. He couldn't give Taisong, the Queen Mother, to the other seven ama! That's the Queen Mother, not a prostitute, she can't be like this...
The other six Armas, on the other hand, just wanted to have fun and said nothing - although the Qing Dynasty was at its most dangerous, its strength still had to be preserved. Their ability to become Emperor Ama depends on their strength! Without strength, let alone Huang Ama, no one would want him as his son.
And they all know what Funing is thinking... Anyone who wants to have eight more fathers for no reason will inevitably want to kill a few of them.
But as long as they, Dang Ama, have soldiers and generals, Funing will not dare to use the knife. Because of the military strength in the hands of Funing, Taisong, and his son, their vitality will be greatly reduced after defeating one Ama. When the other Ama join forces, they, mother and son, will be finished!
As for the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty present, they were dumbfounded... There are really too many masters in the Qing Dynasty now. An emperor, a queen mother, and eight emperors are all masters. No one can do anything to anyone, and with powerful enemies around them, they dare not let go and fight among themselves, so they can only maintain this strange system.
But the problem is, can’t you masters be a little more harmonious? You have to pretend to be a loving father and a filial son, a good situation where all the fathers are harmonious!
Like now, no one knows whether there will be a fire between Amma tomorrow morning, and it is too uneasy to live this life.
But everyone knew that this was not good, and no one dared to say a word. This is a matter between the Armas, who are they? Where can I talk?
Those who were slaves did not dare to speak, those who were Ama also shut up, and Taisong and Funing did not know what to say.
The group of masters and slaves from the Qing Dynasty outside the east gate of Gaizhou City shut up for a moment, and the scene became strangely quiet.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the east. Several Amma's who had their own thoughts looked up at the same time, and saw a group of cavalry carrying large burdens coming on horseback from a distance. I don’t know what’s in this baggage? It doesn't seem to be too heavy, so it can rise and fall lightly as the horse runs.
"Are those Japanese cavalry? Why are they carrying such a big bundle? Is there luggage inside?" Daishan muttered, breaking the silence.
"That's called Mother's Clothes." Duduo has led troops in Korea for many years and has fought with the Japanese more than once. He knows their situation better, and of course he knows about the "Mother's Clothes". "Those are the personal soldiers of the Japanese feudal lord, and they are called Mother's Clothes." Everyone, the big baggage on my back is the mother's clothes. It's actually hollow. Just weave a basket out of bamboo and cover it with cloth...Nothing should be put inside."
"What's the use of that thing?" Daishan asked again.
"It is used to block stray arrows," Duduo explained. "When the cavalry retreats after completing a round of charging, it can prevent the enemy's random arrows."
"I see," Daishan nodded and asked, "But with such a thing on your back, it's not convenient to shoot an arrow backward, right?"
"It is indeed inconvenient," Duduo said, "but most of the Japanese cavalry are not good at shooting arrows on horseback...and they are not very good at charging into battle. They mainly rely on dismounting to fight hand-to-hand and slashing with swords on horseback. Humans kill enemies, but they are generally short in stature and not very strong, so they are not very capable of fighting in armor and have poor endurance, so they are not of much use on the battlefield.
The level of Japan's cavalry is not even the slightest bit worse than their infantry and artillery..."
In fact, in recent years, the level of Japanese cavalry in Korea has improved a lot because of the war horses supplied by the Qing Dynasty.
However, compared with the cavalry of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry is still not worth mentioning. Moreover, the purpose of Japanese cavalry is relatively narrow, and it is unlikely that they can be used as reconnaissance horses. During the Warring States Period in Japan, most of the scouts were ninjas. And the mounted samurai is a noble being, how can he do the work that only ninjas can do?
In addition, the Japanese cavalry could not undertake the task of covering the army or harassing the enemy's brigade.
When fighting in formation, the Japanese cavalry had a poor grasp of fighter planes. They often engage in a desperate charge prematurely, so they are easily killed and injured by their opponents. The usefulness of cavalry on the battlefield is by no means a one-time charge, but requires repeated feints to consume the enemy's physical strength and find the weaknesses of the enemy's formation. Only then can a decisive blow be carried out.
However, the Japanese cavalry were completely incompetent in this regard. They did not have the physical strength to repeatedly charge dozens of formations, so they could only blindly engage in a desperate charge. In fact, it was useless to have physical strength. This style of fighting must have enough war horses to replace them. The Japanese cavalry did not have this condition at all.
Therefore, in Dodo's view, the Japanese cavalry is of little use and can only be used for show. But their spear formation is indeed very strong, even stronger than that of the Ming army. Their fighting will is particularly tenacious and difficult to defeat. In the phalanx tactics of "cavalry, artillery, guns, and muskets", they are composed of pikemen. The battle formation functions as a city wall. The pikemen are powerful because the "city wall" is strong!
This is also the reason why Dorgon, Duduo, Azig and other three Amamas advocated inviting the Japanese army to help.
Just as Duduo was introducing the advantages, disadvantages and characteristics of each branch of the Japanese army to Daishan, Masayuki Hoshina, who was still wondering whether to kowtow or not, had already arrived in Gaizhou City with 800 Japanese cavalry, Sony and the Spanish Ambassador de Salamanca. outside!
...
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesties the Emperor, Your Highness the Queen Mother... Our Highness the General, has come up with a clever plan to defeat the enemy. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to kill the Ming Emperor in one fell swoop!"
In Gaizhou City, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was walking around. At this time, Masayuki Hoshina finally mentioned Tokugawa Iemitsu's conspiracy. Because he was exempted from nine kowtows outside Gaizhou City this morning and only performed a "ten-in-one" kowtow, he now has no pain in his head and is in a good mood.
"What? Can Zhu You be executed?"
"Really? Your country's general is so powerful!"
"Lord Hoko, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is difficult to deal with. You must not underestimate the enemy!"
"Yes, most of the people who wanted to kill him in one fell swoop have passed away..."
After listening to Sony's translation of Masayuki Hoshina's words, the amamas couldn't believe it and even poured cold water on it.
However, Masayuki Hoshina was confident and said with a smile: "Gongfangdian's conspiracy can have some effect. Even if Zhu Youjian cannot be killed, he can still be defeated miserably!"
Ammas are still a little worried - most people who have this idea are already dead! Including Huang Taiji... But this time everyone did not pour cold water on Hoshina Masayuki, but listened carefully.
"To achieve the conspiracy, two conditions are needed," Bao Kezheng said, "The first is that we must attract the Ming Emperor himself and his main force to the frontier of Gaizhou; the second is that we need to control the surrounding areas around Lushunkou Terrain and defense situation.”
It turned out that Tokugawa Iemitsu's plan was to dispatch the Sixty-Sixth Fleet to carry the death squads when Zhu Youjian went north to fight the Qing army, raid Lushun from the sea, and cut off Zhu Youjian's retreat.
"Are you going to attack Lushunkou by sea?" Hauge, who was responsible for fighting against the Ming army in southern Liaoning, shook his head and said, "It won't succeed... Lushunkou Fortress is a very strong bastion, and there are many people around it. There are many forts and walled cities, and tens of thousands of military households are stationed in those forts. It is impossible to defeat them with tens of thousands of infantry."
Before his words were translated into Japanese by Sony, Duduo retorted, "The Japanese general's method is feasible, but you can't land at Lushun Port, you can only land in the north of Qingniwa Bay...and We must also be prepared for all our troops to be gone without return and for the entire army to be annihilated!”
