Wild North America 1846

"Onboard...victorious!"

The ecstatic shogunate army won the victory after a bloody battle, and cheers resounded throughout the sky. This was a complete victory.

After defeating the coalition forces of the southwestern feudal lords, more than 600 cavalry troops from the shogunate banner took advantage of the situation to kill and harvest people, achieving fruitful results.

Postwar Statistics;

The shogunate army defeated the rebels at the cost of 2,741 casualties (note, there were also casualties during the pursuit), killing and wounding more than 6,850 enemy soldiers, and captured 1,346 people. The rest fled, and seized more than 8,300 guns, 15 artillery pieces, and more than 210 horses.

Horses, countless baggage of all kinds, achieved an outright victory.

The reason why the shogunate army suffered so many casualties was also related to the lead bullets fired by Minie rifles.

The lead bullet itself is poisonous and will contaminate the blood and injured organs after breaking open the body. If it is not removed as soon as possible, death will be inevitable.

Moreover, lead bullets are soft and easy to break, especially when breaking through armor. They often break into several pieces. After entering the chest cavity, they damage body organs and tend to move and fall, which greatly increases the difficulty of treatment.

In this era of backward medical methods, there is basically no possibility of treatment.

Only a few lucky people were hit in the arms and legs by lead bullets, and the bullets came out of their bodies, and they were lucky enough to survive.

With the ecstatic cheers of the officers and soldiers in his ears, General Tokugawa Yingxi said with a slightly flattering smile; "Thank you very much, General Fan and General Pierre. Thank you very much for your precious support and for causing you trouble."

Already."

The shogunate was not as weak as it seemed, and the southwestern Tibetan coalition was not as strong as imagined.

Otherwise, your lips will basically become black and poisonous and you will die.

It is left to the shogunate's army to beat up the drowned dogs. It is not advisable to interfere too much in military command, as it is a laborious and thankless task.

The policy of colonization, industrial development and innovation is in line with God's will. I respectfully ask the emperor to pursue the great policy and win the support of the whole country. The final victory must be mine.

These words were well-founded and resounding, causing everyone in the venue to fall into silence for a while.

The main reason now is that everyone was stunned by the fierce firepower of the shogunate army and felt timid for a while.

"Yo Xi... What Watanabe-kun said makes sense."

"Hey Yi, sir general, please rest assured that all the beauties and delicacies have been prepared. I invite the two generals and the distinguished guests of the instructors to come." Guan Bai Ertiao replied respectfully.

The feudal lords and ministers gathered here debated extremely fiercely. Their moods were like a roller coaster, rising and falling. They could not accept the tragic ending and inevitably felt fearful.

"Hmph...one's blood cannot withstand bullets."

Tosa and Hizen also have a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are many feudal lords and daimyo who support them openly and covertly. They are by no means easy to be completely defeated by local separatist forces. This war is still going to be fought.

After this battle

The powerful vassals in the southwestern region were severely damaged, but not to the point of being damaged. As long as Britain and the Netherlands and other countries continued to provide military material support, it would not be difficult to restore their vitality.

After the victory, General Tokugawa Yingxi was in high spirits. He was born in 1837 and was not yet 30 years old. He was six years younger than Major General Fan Pengju.

Next step

Saigo Takamori took this opportunity and immediately shouted "Okay" and received enthusiastic followers from the main militant faction. The atmosphere in the venue was heightened for a while, and the majority expressed support for fighting to the end.

when necessary

The Satsuma Domain has a population of hundreds of thousands. Because it is close to the seaside, it has always had a tradition of maritime trade and has a large number of merchants. It is a powerful feudal daimyo that is relatively enlightened and close to the West.

Brigadier General Pierre performed a French riding salute gracefully, and said with joy in his voice: "This is really a day of ups and downs. Fortunately, the results are not bad. I hope I can have a wonderful and long vacation in the end."

The key now is that we ourselves must not be discouraged first. Only by overthrowing the decadent rule of the shogunate can we reform society, dismantle all kinds of tangible and intangible stereotypes and bad habits, fully turn to the advanced Western civilization and learn from it, and rejuvenate the Yamato nation.

The powerful vassals in the southwest have vast territories and large populations. The Changshu vassal alone has 1.2 million shi. It is not generally strong. In this battle, it only lost more than 3,600 soldiers, which was far from breaking the bones.

when.

Major General Fan Pengju and Brigadier General Pierre's eyes accidentally met, and they both saw the other's deep meaning.

Kido Takayoshi, Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi, the three powerful feudal lords, sat on one side with livid faces, listening to the quarrels of the people, and were speechless for a long time.

"Maybe... bowing to the Tokugawa generals and admitting defeat is a way out."

"You are all cowardly cowards and a bunch of idiots. Don't expect the Tokugawa family in Kyoto to let you go. There is no other way out but to continue fighting. Don't forget that the ideal of colonial industry is for the revitalization of the Yamato nation. Please

, we can’t continue to sink.”

For the Tang Empire and France, maintaining a weak but unified Fusang government was in their basic interests.

After understanding the reason, Kido Takayun secretly winked at Okubo Toshimichi and asked him to come forward to calm down for a moment and encourage everyone before he could reason.

They accepted their orders and came here just to help the shogunate stabilize the increasingly chaotic situation. As for how many casualties the army had suffered and what a heavy price they paid to win? That was not something they had to consider.

The shogunate's army relied on the support from the Tang Empire and was rampant for a while, but it would not last long if it went against the will of heaven and the will of the people.

The Choshu Domain has a population of over one million, and there are many warriors in the area. They are famous for their bravery and ruthlessness, and they are one of the few powerful feudal clans in Fuso.

Sirs, please!"

Now this is just a temporary difficulty. Changzhou has urgently contacted British businessmen and requested to quickly mobilize a batch of arms, equipment and material support, and has received approval.

Moreover, Ogi Castle, where the Mori family lived for generations, has a high wall and a wide area, and the surrounding terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would be difficult for the shogunate army to remove the Choshu clan's home base without knocking out a lot of teeth.

We must have an urgent spirit that time has not waited for us, be brave in sacrifice, and be willing to contribute. Only then can we save the Yamato nation from the fire and water and usher in a prosperous tomorrow, instead of falling deeper and deeper into the boundless abyss.

"Please, please stop daydreaming! The one standing behind the shogunate is the Tang Empire, what should we fight for?"

…

Although our army suffered a new defeat, its muscles and bones were not injured. Moreover, with the support of Satsuma Domain and a group of friendly domain daimyo, our military and political strength is still strong. This is an indisputable fact.

"Nani? You damn guy wants to continue fighting. Open your eyes and see, we have already lost the war."

The generals of the various vassals who had fled after the defeat gathered together. The atmosphere was so solemn that it was almost breathless. Everyone had dark faces and heavy hearts, feeling the heavy pressure of the shogunate's army pressing down on the border.

In response to the two generals' somewhat teasing answers, General Tokugawa Yoshihiro put away his joyful expression and replied solemnly: "Hey, this is such a precious help. On behalf of the people of Fuso, I will remember it firmly.

.This great victory has changed the current situation. In a short period of time, the Sachan Alliance will not be able to play any tricks. The Wushu family will definitely entertain their guests properly, Nijo Sekishiro-sama, what do you think?"

"This is really a shameful thing. The ambition of the Tang Empire is clearly revealed. In order to maintain its corrupt rule, the shogunate recognized thieves as their fathers. Every passionate Yamato warrior should step forward to kill the traitors and save the Yamato nation from the war of water and fire.

middle."

Look at the surging colonial wave in the European and American world. The great powers are frantically carving up large tracts of undeveloped fertile land in the world, and they are far ahead of the curve.

Okubo Toshimichi was clear at first glance, he coughed twice and said;

"Everyone, please wait a moment; should we discuss why Fushimi Toba was defeated? You know, our army is equipped with advanced British Mini rifles. The British conquered the world with their sharp firearms, but we lost.

To the shogunate army, this is unbelievable!"

given time

As long as there are weapons and supplies from the British to support them, after withstanding the initial fierce offensive of the shogunate army, it is still unclear who will win.

"You're welcome, General. This was originally our purpose here, to help the shogunate army achieve final victory and stabilize the current situation. Fortunately, we did it." Major General Fan Pengju answered politely, with a proud smile on his face.

.

"Is there anything strange? The shogunate's army is commanded by experienced generals from the Tang Empire. They have captured the opportunity very well. If we are a little later, we will have a high chance of defeating the lackeys of the shogunate."

As the 15th shogunate to conquer barbarians, General Tokugawa Yoshiki was on the battlefield for the first time. Looking at the tragic battlefield with corpses everywhere, it was good that he didn't vomit.

He is not a frontline commander, but more of a symbolic symbol holding the line.

"Yes, what Omura-kun said is so good. One setback is not the end of the world. As long as we can get the support of England, we will be able to recover soon."

At this time, they no longer had the same high spirits as when they led the army to the expedition. Everyone was like eggplants beaten by frost. Some people's confidence had been shaken, and they couldn't help but have other thoughts.

essentially

We can jointly request the British minister to mediate. Even though the Tang Empire was arrogant, it had to give the British some slack;

"My lords, please listen to the next bit of my humble opinion.

Kido Takayun did not expect that Okubo Toshimichi's impassioned speech would be so effective, and there was no need for him to continue to beat the drum, so he took the opportunity to propose reorganizing the coalition forces to fight against the shogunate army that was in full swing.

For a time, this one had four thousand, that one had three thousand two hundred, and that one had five hundred, and that one had eight hundred, and soon more than 17,000 people were collected. It seemed that a feudal lord name had really taken advantage of his capital.

They have no retreat now, and once they lose, it will be all over.

Tokugawa Keiki is not a good person. If the shogunate army comes to kill him, he will be uprooted, and the foundation of his ancestors for thousands of years will be ruined. Everyone can't help but work hard.

It has to be said that the Fusang people are very ruthless in their bones. When they are forced to jump over the wall, they will not admit defeat even if they pull the enemy to death together. This is the most difficult part.
