C693 Power wrest! A sunken ship! (2/2)
”Master Matsudaira Katamori has given the order … As the guardian of the capital, he commanded the entire army … The warriors of the Tokugawa have taken over the army. ”Stop taking orders from the French...”
”Chase after them, ignore Hai Yang, let's chase after the Southwest Allied Army rebels …”
Luo Shen and Xie Duowan had gone insane ”Matsudaira Katamori! You are destroying the alliance of the two families... You are committing a crime! ”
”I'm sorry, but if I'm guilty, I'll cut you in half after the war! But now, I must take over this army! ” Matsudaira Katamori said firmly.
At this time, the French instructor Group in the army had already started fighting with the soldiers under their command. They did not expect that one word from Matsudaira Katamori would cause the army, which was like a sheep, to become restless.
From each company, there would always be a few strong soldiers who would step forward and call out their names. These people were the warriors in the army, although they did not wear armor and carry Katana s, they still possessed the surnames of the martial families.
In Japan, commoners cannot have surnames. Only warriors, Public official and famous people can have noble surnames. In ancient Japan, people with surnames could have ordered the Dalits.
French instructor was going crazy. They never would have thought that after more than half a year of training, their supreme authority was easily taken away like this. The group of Japanese soldiers who were obedient just a moment ago were now hostile towards them.
”Bastard, ungrateful bastards, have you forgotten that we, the French, taught you to fight … The duty of a soldier is to obey! ” With two crisp slaps, the whip left two bloody marks on a warrior's face.
The warrior didn't fight back. Instead, he bowed deeply and said, ”Ha …” Thank you, Instructor, for teaching us. We will never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives … But, no matter what, we are warriors, loyal subjects of the Tokugawa, and we will never forget our lord! ”
With that, the warrior turned around and shouted to the soldiers who had just expressed their obedience, ”We can't retaliate, we can't retaliate! The instructor is our benefactor, even if you kill us, it would be perfectly justified!” But we still have to obey the general's orders... Now, listen to my command and head west! ”
The battlefield had gone crazy. Tokugawa's new army was charging in front, and from time to time, they would even pretend to shoot at Southwest Allied Army. Behind their butts, the flustered and exasperated French instructor's soldiers were whipping them with their whips, cursing at them with their mouths wide open.
This group of Japanese soldiers really didn't retaliate at all. They just became unlucky after being beaten, while the others still stubbornly chased after the allied army.
Xie Duowan had already collapsed, ”You are all lunatics, you Japanese are lunatics …. Look at what's happening on the sea! If you don't go save your comrades, why are you still chasing after those escapees? ”
”Osaka City, you don't want it? You don't even want your own general? Are you still considered to be loyal to the Mu Clan? ”
Matsudaira Katamori looked at the chaotic Osaka City in the distance, then looked at the massacre that happened on one side of the bay. Although he was in so much pain that his blood was dripping, he still stubbornly shook his head and said, ”General will understand, I believe in General's judgement!”
”Damn Japanese, all of you are as stubborn as a rock! ”Pui …” Xie Duowan spat on the ground, ”Assemble our army, I want to see how powerful this group of Japanese can become!”
The group of French officers protected Minister Luo Shen, the fifty odd people seized a high ground, and with everyone armed and alert around, Minister and Xie Duowan used their binoculars to watch the entire battlefield.
”My God! Wasn't Xiao Letian's navy formed just like that? Forget about the shooting accuracy of gunner, just look at the flexible posture of those Sailor s, are they all veterans? When did so many ocean-going sailors appear in Asia? ” Xie Duowan asked in confusion.
After all, Minister Luo Shen controls the French spy network in East Asia. He sneered and said, ”Isn't it the Americans who helped train it out? Do you know who has monopolized the silver trade in the Pacific Ocean? is Xiao Letian … ”
”We all know that scissor boat s can be easily controlled with their 30-40 sailors, but every time the Ryukyu trade in silver, scissor boat s would cross the Pacific Ocean, and they would put one to two hundred sailors on board. Other than training their troops, I don't know what other uses there are …”
Yes, Xiao Letian's navy had been in operation since the moment he started building a bank in Tanggu. Furthermore, Xiao Letian's train of thought was extremely clear.
Any weapon needed to be manipulated. No one was talking nonsense. This proved Xiao Letian's brilliance. After the three French battleship were captured, the Navy soldiers were able to control them with flexibility after two months of travel.
The massacre in Osaka Bay this time proved that the Ryukyu Navy was very powerful. The seventy Japanese Ship Closure s were all destroyed within twenty minutes of the artillery barrage, and only two broken warships were able to reach thirty meters from the Roman.
But that was their fate. The Roman s attacked from the left and right, over ten thousand guns fired from the deck and the cannons on the deck roared. After a burst of white smoke, the last two Ship Closure s sank to the bottom of the sea.
”Well done, brothers, you are allowed to enter the Osaka City, and let us experience the glory of the Beijing Belt!”
