After hearing this, Fukuda Yasukawa looked up and saw that all his subordinates had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces.
Because of Fukuda Yasukawa's dominance, they have bad relations with their neighbors, and some of the fights have been going on for hundreds of years. There is also a blood feud between the two sides. Now Fukuda Yasukawa wants to pull these people into his camp, so naturally there are many unresolved conflicts.
"I've told you several times that you must be patient. Now we need to use them. When that bastard Suzuki arrives with his men, we'll let them die on the battlefield. But remember this: before that day comes, you must treat them well. They're dying for you. Do you understand?"
Fukuda Yasukawa said viciously. Of course he knew that he had to keep his people. If he didn't do this, he might not even have a single follower around him in the future. This time when he led his troops to the capital, he almost lost all the elite troops around him.
After hearing what Yasukawa Fukuda said, the people below felt a little better. Otherwise, with these people causing trouble every day, they would have been unable to suppress their anger.
Just when Fukuda Yasukawa wanted to say something else, the sound of artillery fire was heard nearby. Although they had moved their headquarters to the mountain, the Tang Dynasty Navy still bombarded the coastal areas regularly in the past few days.
The people of Fuso were not able to eat enough, so they all liked to go to the sea to catch fish. Fuso itself was an island country, and the fish in the sea accounted for almost 1/3 of their food source. However, the sailors of the Tang Dynasty also understood this.
When more and more people came to Futian Kangchuan's side, the Tang Dynasty's navy warships often bombarded the coastal areas in order to prevent these people from going into the sea to catch fish. There were also several navy warships patrolling back and forth in the coastal areas. If they encountered someone going into the water, they would not mind killing them in order to scare the remaining people.
Although Fukuda Yasukawa constantly encouraged the people to go to the sea to catch fish, there were more and more corpses in the sea. These people were not fools. They risked their lives to catch fish, and after bringing them back, they had to hand over part of the fish meat. No matter how you looked at it, it was a loss.
"Damn the Tang Dynasty Navy now."
Listening to the sound of cannons in the distance and the sounds of some civilians fleeing, Fukuda Yasukawa clenched his stone. He wanted to sink all the warships of the Tang Dynasty Navy, but the problem was how to get close to them?
Since the day he came back, he has sent out several batches of suicide ships, but none of them have achieved the desired effect. The Tang Dynasty Navy warships have also learned their lesson. Although their large ships are not very flexible, they will not give you a chance to get close, especially at night, they will directly drop anchor in the open sea.
According to Fukuda Yasukawa's plan, if they couldn't move during the day, they could get closer at night, and when they were at a certain distance, they would set fire to the Tang Dynasty's navy warships.
But when they went there that night, they found that the Tang Dynasty Navy warships had already reached the open sea. If their small boat wanted to go there, at least half of them would be overturned by the huge waves. Although there were some worthless things on the boat, the lamp oil still cost money.
Moreover, doing so would obviously be a senseless loss. In addition, there are people on duty on the Tang Dynasty's navy warships. If you make the slightest noise on your side, the Tang Dynasty's navy warships will immediately hoist all the sails, and you will lose a lot of people without being able to get close to them.
In this situation, Yasukawa Fukuda could only order his men to abandon the plan.
When he gave up this plan, he didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty Navy warships would make a comeback and bomb all the suicide ships along the coast. When the Tang Dynasty Navy's shells fell, there were many natural objects on the ship. As long as there was a small spark, these suicide ships would burn themselves to ashes.
Although Fukuda Yasukawa had ordered his soldiers and carpenters to go to the mountains to cut wood and try to create more suicide ships, the Tang Dynasty navy was almost close to the seashore. No matter where you launched the ship, you would be followed by a large number of artillery shells.
Many carpenters were almost overwhelmed and began to doubt their lives. We didn't sleep every day, and our working and even eating time were compressed. We finally made these small boats, but were they just for the Tang Dynasty navy to use them as targets for training?
Although they were not satisfied, since Fukuda Yasukawa had given the order, they had no choice but to obey it obediently and continue to work in this high-intensity state, cutting down trees in the mountains to build suicide boats, not knowing when they would come in handy.
Yasukawa Fukuda also knew that this was not a solution, but suicide ships had at least been successful before. As long as a large number of such suicide ships could be stockpiled, the ship might still succeed when an opportunity arose. But if there was an opportunity but no ship, that would be truly tragic.
"Tell those damn fishermen to stay away from the sea."
When the subordinates heard Fukuda Yasukawa's curse, they didn't know what to say. You just asked them to go fishing yesterday, and it was an encouragement. Now you let them not go. No matter what you say, you are right.
But the soldiers below did not dare to ask for it and could only go down to convey the order. Although the Tang Dynasty's artillery bombardment was very powerful, they could still bring back at least a few hundred kilograms of fish every day. Now, if these few hundred kilograms of fish were lost, the people's lives would be even more difficult. Not to mention eating tree bark and grass roots, the mountain would almost become a bare mountain.
When Fukuda Yasukawa left, he took most of the food with him. In addition, the bombardment of Datang Shui City burned down the two granaries. So now he can't sleep when he thinks about the food.
When the rebels from all over came to him, he expected them to bring some food, but he discovered that most of them came empty-handed. There wasn't much food left in Fusang. Could you expect them to bring it to you? Didn't their families have enough to eat or drink?
"Master Fukuda, there's been an internal conflict at Master Ito's place. It seems his men are fighting with the rebels from Satsuma."
Just when Fukuda Yasukawa was worried, another bad news came from outside. He could control his subordinates, but Ito Taro had a bad temper. How could he control his subordinates?
He was the one who led the people to massacre the rebels...
