Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fujita High School sophomore and his family members were discussing in their Japanese garden in Miyazaki how to deal with the upcoming situation in the Kyushu region.

    But after many discussions, they still can¡¯t come up with any good solution.

    Although there are two roads to take in front of you, no matter which one you take, it will be very bumpy for the Kyushu people.

    ¡°However, it is very unrealistic for Fujita or other Kyushu daimyo to hand over their rights to Kyushu honestly like this.

    Because they cannot just hand over the rights and status they enjoy now.

    Matsushita Sho, the elder of the Fujita family, has served the family for three generations.

    His position in this family is very important, so he and the Fujita family have become both prosperous and disadvantaged.

    There are many people like Sho Matsushita in the homes of other daimyo in Kyushu.

    Therefore, with some involvement, this is a matter that concerns many people.

    It is very, very unreliable to bother these Kyushu feudal lords simply by virtue of the agreement reached between the shogunate and Zhao Hongyu.

    Didn¡¯t the shogunate think of this obstacle?

    No!

    Of course the shogunate has thought of it, and not all people in the shogunate are fools.

    But they still agreed. In addition to the need to consider the safety of the emperor and the general, they also wanted to take over Zhao Hongyu's hand and clean up the feudal lords here in Kyushu.

    Although the agreement has been reached, the shogunate will never give up like this.

    They will definitely find an opportunity to have another military conflict with Zhao Hongyu and the others, and then take back Kyushu.

    Zhao Hongyu also considered some of the things he would encounter in the future, as well as the troubles.

    However, even after considering these troubles, Zhao Hongyu still wants to set foot on the land of Kyushu and take the entire Kyushu into his own hands.

    Because Zhao Hongyu is confident that he can deal with all future troubles, the imperial army in his hands is not a vegetarian.

    What's more, the environment and location here in Jiuzhou is also very special, which is what Zhao Hongyu values ????the most.

    Kyushu is located at the southernmost tip of Japan.

    Its geographical location connects Korea to the north, Daming to the west, and Taiwan and Luzon to the south. It can be said that it controls Kyushu. If the empire uses troops in the east in the future, Kyushu will become the most important base.

    ¡°And now most of the trade activities in the East are carried out in Taiwan and Kyushu, so Kyushu is very important.

    It¡¯s just that some of the things Zhao Hongyu has to face are not so easy to solve.

    Because Kyushu is filled with all kinds of interests, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

    Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong often clashed in the waters of Kyushu. During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese and European merchants also frequently appeared in the waters of Kyushu.

    If Zhao Hongyu wants to gain a foothold here, he must straighten out all of this.

    Of course, Zhao Hongyu can also use his powerful force to frighten everyone.

    These days, it¡¯s not impossible to defeat ten guilds with one force.

    As long as you show your strength and let everyone see it, they will become honest.

    After all, everyone is afraid of death, right?

    Kyushu Island is very large, occupying almost one-tenth of the Japanese territory.

    It can be seen that Zhao Hongyu obtained one-tenth of the land of the Japanese through war this time, which can be said to be a very generous move.

    The Japanese are also very sad about this.

    However, no matter how much they hurt each other, Kyushu still had to be ceded.

    Who let Zhao Hongyu hold two trump cards in his hands?

    There is nothing the Japanese can do about this.

    There are eight large cities in Kyushu, namely Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Sasebo, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Kurume, Fukuoka, and Saga.

    Among them, the three most prosperous areas are Nagasaki, Sasebo and Fukuoka.

    Because these three places have large trading ports and receive ships to many Eastern countries every day, the prosperity of trade makes the three places very prosperous.

    It can be said that although Kyushu is not as good as some other areas outside, the economy here is pretty good.

    No wonder??The thirteen great names of Kyushu dared to disobey the orders issued by the shogunate, because these guys had the capital.

    However, their good days are coming to an end now, because the shogunate actually ceded Kyushu to a group of foreigners.

    And after these foreigners take over Kyushu, they will definitely not let them continue to be in power.

    This point can be understood even if you think about it with your buttocks.

    ¡°As long as the economic power and military power are handed over, the thirteen big names in Kyushu will transform from phoenixes to native chickens no, even worse than native chickens.

    Therefore, when these Ming Dynasties gathered at Miyazaki Fujita's house, the discussion ended and everyone returned to their respective residences and began to discuss with their ministers.

    In the end, all the big names in Kyushu felt that they could not just hand over their rights like this.

    Therefore, they can only choose to go against Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu has not come to Jiuzhou yet, so this gives them some time to prepare.

    That night, all the envoys from the various daimyo families came to the Fujita family and informed their respective heads of family of their decision.

    Fujita is of course very happy about the decisions of these big names.

    Because after integrating the power of the thirteen families, they are also a very powerful force.

    With the thousands of soldiers and horses of those foreigners, they would not dare to do anything to Kyushu even if they thought about it.

    ¡°And the shogunate has already ceded Kyushu, so after they defeat the foreigners, won¡¯t Kyushu form a separate kingdom?

    Thinking of this, Fujita couldn't help but feel happy.

    Of course, I heard that those foreigners wanted to leave, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t have ceded Kyushu to the shogunate.

    "However, after integrating the thirteen daimyo, they also have 150,000 troops in their hands.  Not to mention dealing with thousands of foreigners, these troops can even land in Shimonoseki from behind to confront the shogunate, or even invade the Shikoku region.

    For a time, Fujita¡¯s confidence was overwhelming as a sophomore.

    He suddenly felt that after controlling an army of 150,000 people, nothing in the world could be difficult for him.

    Therefore, a small ambition began to emerge in his heart.

    No wonder, the mistakes of 150,000 people were considered to be a lot in the history of Japan.

    You must know that when Sekigahara joined forces, Tokugawa and Ishida each only led a hundred thousand troops.

    Now, Kyushu has produced 150,000 troops at once, which is more than that time.

    The daimyo from Kyushu began to gather their troops and came to Okazaki, preparing to give Zhao Hongyu and others a blow when they came here.

    For the sake of their own rights and status, these great names in Kyushu also risked their lives.

    These people basically sent out all the troops and manpower they could mobilize.

    They can also see clearly that whether they live or die depends on this time.

    ¡°As long as they can repel foreigners like Zhao Hongyu, then they can keep everything they have now.

    If it fails, there is nothing.

    People in Kyushu are not like the people in the shogunate who always look forward and backward when doing things. The daimyo here are very courageous to burn everything.

    This is something Zhao Hongyu never expected.

    The tense atmosphere here in Kyushu also makes businessmen from various countries doing business in Kyushu feel depressed.

    The tension before the war has affected countless people.

    The common people in the Kyushu region also received notifications from their respective lords.

    Those samurai who shuttled through the countryside with orders from their lords told these lower-class people that the shogunate had ceded Kyushu to foreigners, and they would all become slaves of foreigners in the future.

    ??And by doing this, the shogunate was tantamount to betraying the entire Japanese country.

    Therefore, the great names of Kyushu are not willing to be slaves to foreigners.  Therefore, they have to stand up to resist and fight against foreigners, so people can also actively join or contribute food and materials.

    As for the fact that the emperor and generals were still in the hands of foreigners, and that foreigners even attacked Edo and Osaka and defeated the shogunate army many times, they did not tell these people.

    It seems that the ideas of some propaganda in any era are basically the same.

    With the full mobilization of the daimyo in the Kyushu region, they expanded on the basis of an army of 150,000A militia force of almost 100,000 people.

    Basically, these militiamen came to join the army with a bamboo gun and a few rice balls.

    The daimyo don¡¯t expect them to be of any use, they just serve as cannon fodder.

    Therefore, the treatment of these militiamen is very poor.

    However, the morale of these militiamen was very high due to the indoctrination of loyalty to the emperor, saving the country and not being slaves.

    It can be seen from this that the people at the bottom are actually very easy to fool.

    "But Zhao Hongyu didn't know at this time that before he brought the fleet to Kyushu, Kyushu had already organized a large army and was ready.

    Therefore, it is simply impossible to control Kyushu smoothly without using swords or guns.

    At this time, Kyushu was all mobilizing and planning for the war, and all supplies were transported to the Miyazaki area.

    Fortunately, the celebrities here in Kyushu relied on geographical advantages and trade to save some money, so they were able to support such an action.

    ¡°However, this also made it cheaper for many merchants in the Ming Dynasty.

    Because military operations are about to begin in Kyushu, the merchants selling those military supplies have really made a fortune.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the big names here in Kyushu made it known that as long as they have weapons or something, they can have as many as they want.

    Suddenly, many Ming businessmen left Nagasaki and began to return to the Ming Dynasty to obtain weapons through their own means.

    After all, who doesn¡¯t want to get rich? Besides, the Japanese still have money, don¡¯t they?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
