Chapter 919 Finalization
"Kill, charge, kill them!" After the initial shock, Ogawa Tiger looked at the soldiers around him and shouted. Read М
But there was only silence in response.
The soldiers did not move forward or retreat.
As the Yan Wang army approached, they raised their flintlock rifles to their heads.
They surrendered.
For them, there was no hope.
The armies of Oda and Mori entered the city, and the Yan Wang army also arrived, and they were attacked from both sides.
Among so many soldiers, not everyone has the courage to face death.
And if you want to live, surrender is the only way.
"Cowards, a group of cowards..." The soldiers surrendered one after another, and Ogawa Tiger cursed anxiously.
But he soon shut up.
The coalition soldiers who came from behind fired muskets and knocked him off his horse.
Watanabe An also fell off his horse.
Ogawa Tiger, who fell to the ground, wanted to struggle, but immediately dozens of bayonets were pointed at him.
Watanabe was like a demon, still mumbling to himself.
At this moment, the entire Shirakawa Castle was completely under control.
Not long after, Dong An, Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu arrived at the south gate.
Pan Chang also arrived at this time.
"General Pan!" Seeing Pan Chang, Dong An's face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward to hug Pan Chang.
"Master Dong." Pan Chang also laughed.
Serving as officials and generals under the command of the King of Yan, meeting in Japan is naturally very cordial.
Then he said with some regret, "It's a pity that we are still a step late and didn't catch Watanabe alive."
"Hahaha... I and the two of them didn't expect it. I can only say that after the general's training, their two clans are no longer the same as before." Dong An looked at the two people on the ground, trying to distinguish who is Watanabe, he really has never seen him in person.
Pan Chang nodded slowly, feeling a little better.
Dong An was right. Aren't the armies of the four northern fiefdoms trained by their marines?
Looking at Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu, he said, "I will remember this achievement and report it to your Highness."
During his stay in Gominejima, he often went to the four northern fiefdoms.
He was no stranger to the lords of the four fiefdoms.
"Thank you, General Pan." Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu bowed deeply.
Pan Chang shook his hand and asked again, "Who is Watanabe An?"
Oda Yamazawa rushed to point at Watanabe An, "It's him! And he is Ogawa Tora, the accomplice of Watanabe An."
"You two bastards!" Ogawa Tora was furious when he heard this, staring at Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu, and then he sneered at Pan Chang, "Don't be too proud too early, although we lost, your doomsday is coming, and the Westerners will avenge us."
"That's right, the Westerners will avenge us." At this time, Watanabe An, who was originally like a demon, seemed to be stimulated by the two words "Westerners", and suddenly woke up, his eyes were shining, and there was a hint of sneer at the corners of his mouth.
"Western Land? You really worship them as gods." Pan Changwu said sarcastically, "Unfortunately, you will always be a dog in their eyes, and they will not fight for a dog."
"Hahaha... You guys are stubborn. When the Western Land people slaughter all of you Dasong people, I hope you can still laugh like today." Watanabe An's face was distorted and crazy.
"It's really sad." Dong An shook his head and said to Pan Chang, "You can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep. Don't waste your words with him. Imprison them and wait for your highness's order."
Pan Chang nodded, "Just listen to Master Dong."
Thinking of something, he turned to Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu, "The battle in Shirakawa Castle is over, but there are still large tracts of southern land that have not been controlled. You continue to lead the troops south and recover the entire south."
"Yes, General Pan." Oda Yamazawa and Mori Arikatsu were excited.
They have long coveted the rich land in the south.
Now, they have finally defeated Watanabe An and can take it into their pockets.
After giving orders to the Oda and Mori clans, Pan Chang sent people to contact the Western Route Army led by the Hojo and Ono families.
Five days later, he received a reply, "The 200,000 troops led by Yamada Haruno were completely annihilated by the Western Route Army. The Western Route Army is now continuing to move south and completely occupy the territory of the southern clan."
After receiving this news, Dong An sent people back to Yancheng to report the situation of the war in Japan to the King of Yan.
In just four days, Zhao Xu received the war report from Japan.
"Great, Japan has finally been completely pacified." After reading the war report, Zhao Xu said to Yang He.
He was just discussing matters with Yang He, and one of them was about Japan.
Of course, it was not just Japan, but also Goryeo.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, in this way, Goryeo and Japan can all be included in our Dasong trade circle."
The term trade circle was mentioned by the King of Yan when he discussed matters with him.
He was completely shocked by the establishment of the East Land Trade Circle by King Yan, which included all the countries in the East Land and used Song Yuan as the unified currency for trade settlement.
Although he learned a lot from King Yan.
But he never dared to imagine such a grand plan.
Once this East Land Trade Circle is established, the goods of Dasong can be circulated in the East Land countries with zero tariffs.
At the same time, the countries in the East Land will be their markets and sources of raw materials, and the labor of their countries can also be used by Dasong.
If combined with the second industrial revolution, the wealth of Dasong will grow at an astonishing rate.
It will not be a problem to make Dasong as rich as the current Western countries, or even surpass them.
"Yes." Zhao Xu nodded, "You prepare to go to Japan with me and bring the officials and businessmen with you."
Dasong has achieved control over Goryeo in terms of military, culture and trade.
According to the contract signed by the King of Goryeo and Dasong.
In terms of culture, Goryeo has abolished the Goryeo script and is promoting the writing and language of Dasong.
Moreover, newspapers controlled by the Propaganda Department have also taken root in Goryeo, and the Goryeo court cannot interfere with the opinions of newspapers.
This is equivalent to controlling Goryeo from the perspective of public opinion.
In terms of military, it is naturally the Goryeo garrison.
This garrison is not only responsible for monitoring the domestic situation in Goryeo, but also for protecting the Dasong merchants doing business in Goryeo and the economic interests of Dasong.
In terms of trade, Songyuan has been circulated in Goryeo and will gradually replace the Goryeo currency.
According to the contract, Goryeo imposed zero tariffs on Daesong goods and allowed Daesong merchants to sell salt and purchase mines in Goryeo.
In short, what Daesong merchants can do in China, they can also do in Goryeo.
However, he naturally did not open important businesses to all merchants. The important lifeline industries were all managed by the officials and merchants under the Ministry of Commerce.
Private merchants could only participate in other non-core trade.
Although he valued business, he also knew that he could not let business grow wildly, otherwise he would dig his own grave.
It was necessary to let the state-owned business group firmly suppress the private business group.
