Being able to grasp Xu Yang's movements so clearly this time, after the re-establishment of Jin Yiwei, the former Black Shark Gang affiliated gang members and the White Lotus Sect forces in the southeast, their contributions in several aspects cannot be underestimated.
There are already many connections between these White Lotus cultists, the Black Shark Gang, and the pirates under Xu Yang.
Especially this time, Xu Yang mobilized the army and mobilized almost all the forces under his control.
He couldn't keep it secret even if he wanted to.
Many people used their network to find out about his movements.
Therefore, before the battle started, Xu Yang's information was continuously collected and reported to the government.
In this battle, the government, army and Japanese pirates basically achieved two-way transparency.
Of course, this also depends on who is in charge and what strategy is used.
In the past, the White Lotus cultists lived in the southeast and had the same information, but they would never disclose it to the government.
Among this group of people, some were double spies themselves, and Xu Yang had often obtained information from them in the past.
Which side to take depends on the government's strategy and who you prefer.
After the reconstruction, the Jinyiwei took in many green forest gangsters.
These people had extremely bad conduct and had done a lot of harmful things in the past.
However, they had connections and connections in the world.
Shangfeng put the blame behind and promised a generous reward.
Yang Ji also gave rewards ranging from being reimbursed three times for going to the Qinglou to find the top card to eating several times for free.
This group of people really worked hard.
Furthermore, it is thanks to the subtle propaganda of Peking Opera, as well as Leng Feishuang and her Tianfei Cult.
Under the propaganda of Peking Opera, many pirates who surrendered were used by the government, or they took the initiative to pass on wrong information to Xu Yang.
A large number of White Lotus members in the Zhejiang Diocese have converted to the Tianfei Sect, and are therefore used by Leng.
People's support was against Xu Yang's.
This time, Xu Yang was actually weaker than the government at the intelligence level.
This was an important reason why he was at a disadvantage at the planning level at the beginning.
On the other hand, the new army is completely different from the previous imperial camps and guards.
It belongs to a relatively independent system and is not controlled by the southeastern gentry.
The supply logistics comes from Yang Ji, plus Huang Jin holds the Wang Ming flag and Yang Shen is personally in charge.
Even if the local forces in Zhejiang want to supply supplies, they must consider whether they can afford it. consequences.
The split plum blossom plan this time is almost the limit of what can be done.
In terms of personnel allocation this time, the emperor did not think of limiting Yang Chengzu's elbow.
From the general soldiers to the guarding eunuchs, everyone had to cooperate with his mission.
The dispatch of the new army was completely under his control, so no matter how the local forces tried to seduce him secretly, Son, what can actually be done is very limited.
The new army has sufficient money and food.
If the materials used to support them are used locally, they can support almost three to five times the conventional troops.
It would not be so easy to maintain if it were not for Yang Chengzu's strong promotion and the stealing of Black Shark Island's old foundation. of.
At this time, the officers and soldiers had money, food, and equipment, and they still had combat effectiveness, let alone the new army.
In the frontal battle formation, Xu Yang's Shinno actually only roughly tied with Tai Yong, and then immediately entered the defensive stage.
He was not aware of the crisis at this time, and decided that with his superior strength and enough muskets, there would be no problem at least in a defensive battle.
Zong Zhixin also believed that he had the advantage in terms of military strength.
Even if he failed to win the hedging, he could always stabilize the defense line.
Most of the daimyo's wars used bows and arrows.
Now that he had so many firearms, he could not support the Ming army until it lost its combat effectiveness.
However, when it came to actual combat, he found that things were not that simple.
Even though the pirates had gathered more than a thousand muskets, the battle line was still in danger.
The officers and soldiers only had many more firearms than the pirates.
In addition to the muskets, there were also wooden cannons made of wood and three bronze cannons.

This kind of copper artillery is currently the equipment of the rich.
The pirates' artillery is all on the ship.
Now it is impossible to unload it from the ship and transport it over.
It is a big disadvantage in terms of firepower.
After a few rounds of shooting, the pirates' matchlocks began to explode.
The matchlocks sold by Folangji were all inferior homemade weapons.
Their quality was not trustworthy, and they were fired too frequently. , blowing up more than thirty muskets in a row.
Everyone was a little worried when using the remaining gun, fearing that he would blow up himself.
To be safe, they had to reduce the amount of powder charged, so that even if it exploded, it would not cause too much harm to themselves.
In fact, this method of charging less gunpowder was also used by the army in the past, especially when it came to divine fire guns.
In order to avoid damage, the gunpowder was loaded with less gunpowder.
The result was that people could not be killed.
The guns were fired closely, but the actual killing effect was extremely weak.
They were bombarded by the officers and soldiers with copper cannons and blunderbuss, coupled with the shooting of strong bows and crossbows, the firepower was at a disadvantage.
Even so, the front was not untenable.
Zong Zhixin showed excellent military skills and used the Zong family's troops to the limit.
His command was perfect, and even when he played for his family, he may not have had such an excellent command.
Troops were thrown in one after another to fill the holes opened by the officers and soldiers.
He quickly integrated the downed teams and threw them in again.
Due to the advantage in military strength, this kind of loophole can be filled quickly, and Zong Zhixin is still able to cope with this situation.
The ammunition customization technology used by the government and the army allows bullets to be fired quickly, but they cannot be fired too frequently, including copper cannons, which must also be cooled after firing.
Although the pirates were at a disadvantage during the firefight, they did not shake the defense line or destroy the front.
Moreover, the Ming army would not suffer casualties in this kind of shooting.
Zong Zhixin believed that with a bombardment of this scale, he could complete the battle plan and win with force.
But after shooting for a period of time, intensive drumbeats rang out from behind the Ming army's formation, and then they saw a young general coming to the front of the formation and shouting something, and then he took the lead and rushed towards the defense line.
The officers and soldiers behind them shouted, and pressed down in an orderly queue.
The pirates fired three rounds of muskets, and some of the officers and soldiers fell.
But others didn't seem to see it, and instead accelerated their pace, and then the forward ran into the pirates' team.
It was like an out-of-control car crashing into the crowd, bringing blood, death, and fear among the pirates' ranks.
The soldier named Luo Guoen, whose original name was Luo Tiewa, was just an ordinary miner in the mine.
Although he has great strength, he also has a large appetite.
He has not had many full meals since he was a child.
In the mine, he worked too much and ate too little to fill his stomach, but what else could he do if he didn't do this?
As he staggered back and forth between the mine and the work shed under the whip of the supervisor, he was already prepared to be hungry at any time.
Preparation for death.
Until Yang Ji came to the mine to recruit workers, the vicious supervisors and the capable mine owners could not stop the miners from working in Yang Ji.
In his opinion, the conditions given by Yang Ji were similar to those of an official.
As long as he could have enough food to eat, he didn't care how much work he had to do.
In fact, he didn't care too much about those conditions.
Later, when he was a soldier, not only did the commander give him a new name, he was also given a full meal, new clothes, and new shoes.
Because he was very powerful and killed many people during the war, he was promoted to a flag leader and helped him get a family and find a wife.
Only at this moment did all his strength become truly useful.
My wife is pregnant with a baby, and my family has a field, so I can almost comfort my deceased parents.
He was not afraid of death because of these things.
On the contrary, he rushed even more fiercely.

He must be conscientious.
He is a soldier of the emperor and must be loyal to the emperor.
The Yue Fei and Yang family generals sung in those operas are all loyal to the country and will be remembered forever.
How could he be afraid of death and how dare he be afraid of death?
If he takes a step back, not only will he lose all these, but also his wife and children.
Look down on him.
He had killed five people today, but he didn't feel tired at all.
Even when Li Zhongjun shouted to charge, he took the initiative to stand in the vanguard position.
If he dies, he can earn a living for his family, and if he is injured, someone will support him for the rest of his life, so what else is there to fear?
Whether it is a musket that makes a ping-pong sound, or a sword, he doesn't care, but relies on his quick legs, Holding the shield and charging forward.
With the awareness of death, he ran headlong into the pirate team, raised the knife in his hand and just slashed, killing as many people as possible before he died.
But it wasn't until he rushed and killed for more than a dozen steps that he found that he was still alive, and the crowd of people in front of him began to collapse
