At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the night enveloped the earth and brought the entire world into darkness. Originally, at a time like this, the family should have finished cooking dinner and enjoyed their leisure time after a hard day's work.
But in Okazaki Castle, there were bright lights and shouts of killing everywhere. There is no leisurely atmosphere at all, but it is full of tense and frightening elements.
Since Tokugawa Kayo led his army into Okazaki Castle, Kawabe Yuuji began to lead his men to kill the defenders in Okazaki Castle.
If you want to completely control Okazaki Castle, then the defenders of Okazaki Castle must be eliminated. Because retaining these people will have great hidden dangers for future rule.
Therefore, some old nobles and wealthy families in the Miyazaki territory are the targets that must be purged.
Even if Zhao Hongyu did not ask for this, Tokugawa Kayo would still do it, not to mention that this was something that the Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu approved and made clear.
Encouraged by the reward of being able to plunder for a day after breaking the city, the soldiers of the first and second corps of the Imperial Alliance Army who entered Okazaki Castle showed their strong combat effectiveness.
Coupled with their high morale and the enemy's morale that had dropped to a low point, it was very easy for them to kill the defenders in Okazaki Castle.
Often, when the defenders in Okazaki Castle encountered Yuji Kawabe's troops, they either turned around and ran away or surrendered collectively.
The confrontation they encountered was very rare.
Although there are sporadic resistances, these resistances are of no importance at all and will be resolved in a short period of time.
Therefore, after nightfall, the four gates in Okazaki Castle and the key points of the city streets were basically controlled by the imperial army.
In other words, Fujita Koji has been completely trapped in his residence, and there is no way to escape from Okazaki Castle.
And those temporarily recruited militiamen surrendered to the Imperial Alliance Army in batches during the battles in the city, which made Yuji Kawabe very happy.
After all, most of these surrendered prisoners can be transformed into soldiers under their own command in the future. Then they will become his direct legion in the future, and will be relied upon to establish a foothold in Kyushu.
Therefore, he is willing to accept these guys who are willing to surrender.
As for those who are unwilling to surrender, Kawabe Yuuji will not be polite or soft-hearted at all.
The doors of the houses in Okazaki Castle were all closed. Even though the streets were filled with shouts of killing, the residents could only observe the situation outside through the cracks in the doors.
???????????? Moreover, the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army and the Imperial Genomen did not harass the ordinary people. After all, these ordinary people will be the subjects of the Empire in the future.
And the rewards promised by Yuji Kawabe at that time were not aimed at these civilians.
In the end, he made an explanation, that is, when looting, the target is not allowed to be on the common people, but can only target the wealthy and nobles. If anyone is found to be disturbing the common people, he will be beheaded immediately after being caught.
It was precisely under this strong threat from Yuji Kawabe that despite the chaos in Okazaki Castle, the harm to the people at the bottom was still not great.
This also made many people in Okazaki City breathe a sigh of relief.
The thousand imperial gene soldiers following Tokugawa Kayo have been divided into four squadrons and then occupied the four gates of Okazaki Castle.
With more than 1,100 Imperial Alliance soldiers, Yuji Kawabe has surrounded the residence of Takaji Fujita.
There are another thousand Imperial Army gene soldiers, and they are divided into several teams. Each team of fifteen or twenty people begins patrolling Okazaki City to prevent some gangsters and ronin in Okazaki City. Looking for trouble and taking the opportunity to harm the people at the bottom.
Therefore, after entering the night, the situation in Okazaki Castle has basically been completely controlled by Tokugawa Kayo and Kawabe Yuuji.
Outside the residence of Fujita, a sophomore, there is a large square paved with gravel. A dense crowd gathered in this square. These crowds were the former Okazaki defenders who surrendered and laid down their weapons. The number reached more than 6,000.
There is no life in these guys¡¯ eyes, they look very numb.
"Compared with the elites who died in Maitreya Plains, they are really not a little bit weaker.
But it¡¯s not surprising when you think about it. After all, they are all farmers who were temporarily recruited by Fujita, a sophomore in high school.Summoned to Okazaki Castle.
Originally they thought that the enemies they had to deal with were very weak guys, but they never thought that these enemies would be so powerful. Everything exceeded their original guesses and estimates.
Coupled with the three rounds of horrific shelling during the siege in the afternoon, as well as the ferocity displayed by the Imperial Alliance troops during the street fighting in the city, these militiamen completely gave up the idea of ??continuing to fight.
They have no way to fight such a powerful enemy because there is no hope of winning at all.
Of course, this has something to do with the militiamen¡¯s weak will to fight.
"Compared to the elite soldiers who died in Maitreya Plains, these militiamen can still fight a smooth battle, but it is completely impossible to fight a head-on battle.
Many militiamen who laid down their arms and surrendered thought they could go home immediately and take care of their wives, children and the few acres of land at home.
Precisely because they are not formal soldiers, they are more concerned about their own affairs, unlike the formal soldiers who fight for the lord with the salary given by the lord.
You must know that these militiamen came to Okazaki Castle only because of the recruitment of Fujita High School sophomore.
After all, in the Japanese country, the lords had the right to recruit young and strong men in the territory and bring their own food to fight for themselves.
However, the combat effectiveness of these conscripts is very low.
Thinking about it, they even have to bring their own food, so one can imagine how they could risk their lives for the lord.
Therefore, it is okay for a team formed by such people to fight downwind after victory, because they can get some loot. But in times of adversity, these people are the fastest group to collapse.
Therefore, it is nothing new that these guys will surrender in batches when facing Yuji Kawabe and the others.
Coincidentally, Kawabe Yuuji is relatively short of manpower. After all, he only has the first legion of more than 600 people in his hands, and the second legion of more than 500 people who are not very loyal.
Therefore, he desperately needs to supplement and expand the power he has at hand.
Because he knows that with the reputation of the Tokugawa family, it is completely impossible for him to compare.
As long as Kyushu is stabilized, some of the old ministers of the Tokugawa family will come to Kyushu and seek refuge with Tokugawa Kayo.
By then, Tokugawa Kayo will be a big threat to himself with the help of these retainers.
At the same time, if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to choose him to act as a check on the Tokugawa family, then he must expand the troops he has at hand.
"Kawabe Yuuji has already thought of these things.
There is only the stupid Jingguchi Zousan, who has never considered this aspect at all.
There are more than 6,000 prisoners. After picking and choosing, at least half of them can be kept, and then I can add more than 3,000 troops.
¡°Then those who have been eliminated can also do a favor and give it to Tokugawa Kayo as her capital.
Hehe, if you do this so that you can gain a reputation as a good person, this is a good deal.
"Sir, our army has surrounded Fujita High School's residence. At the same time, we have received reports that the entire Okazaki Castle is now completely controlled by our army. Please tell me our next arrangements."
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Kawabe Yuuji laughed.
"Hahaha, even Fujita High School sophomore actually dares to fight against us. Originally, I thought he had some ability, but now it seems like nothing more than that."
Regarding the entire plan to fight the Kyushu Allied Forces with less than 10,000 troops, Kawabe Yuuji was more supportive of Zhao Hongyu.
It can be said that at this step, he and Zhao Hongyu came together again.
Because Yuji Kawabe believed that the Crown Prince from the so-called American Song Empire made such an arrangement with absolute confidence, and was not an idiot who didn't understand anything.
At the same time, after the Battle of Osaka, Yuji Kawabe had a deeper understanding of Zhao Hongyu.
As expected, the strength of the Imperial Army in Mirokuhara's battle was perfectly demonstrated. It confirmed what Yuji Kawabe had always suspected and strengthened his loyalty to Zhao Hongyu.
In contrast, Yuji Kawabe, who already considered himself a subject of the Song Empire, began to despise his former compatriots.
For example, Fujita Koji, the initiator of the Kyushu Allied Forces.
As for Fujita¡¯s reputation as a high school sophomore, in fact Kawabe Yuji is stillHeard of it.
After all, as a daimyo, Fujita High School sophomore, there will always be some people in the territories of various daimyo in Japan to brag and spread the news for him.
Therefore, the name of the so-called Kyushu Tiger Wolf Fujita High School sophomore is still very loud outside.
In addition, the people of Kyushu have always been brave and fierce, and did not obey the orders of the shogunate. Even the shogunate had nothing to do about it, so people looked at the daimyo of Kyushu even more highly.
But in the eyes of Yuji Kawabe, the current Fujita high school sophomore is nothing more than ordinary.
Yes, no matter how evil the rumors outside are, just relying on the various reactions of Fujita High School sophomore is enough to make Kawabe Yuji express his utmost contempt for him.
¡°If Fujita was a qualified daimyo and commander, then he would not be surrounded by himself in his residence at all.
Because there were no troops attacking the three gates of Okazaki Castle during the afternoon siege, he could have left Okazaki Castle. But this guy didn't leave his home, and he was stuck in his house alive.
This is nothing but an idiot!
Anyway, Yuji Kawabe despises Fujita High School sophomore from the bottom of his heart. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
