Text Chapter 853 The clever Yamaguchi Shigenobu

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shigenobu Yamaguchi was having a hard time.

    The news of the disastrous defeat of the Kyushu Allied Forces of Mirokuhara, which caused the vitality of the thirteen daimyo families and the loss of more than 100,000 troops, has spread throughout the Satsuma Domain.

    Yamaguchi Shigenobu didn¡¯t know what the other daimyo¡¯s territories were like, but he knew clearly that his current life was really difficult.

    First of all, some areas in the Satsuma Domain's territory where there was a lack of military strength began to violate their own orders.  Some local wealthy families even began to turn a deaf ear to their orders.

    And the personnel dispatched by yourself will also be treated with some rudeness.

    This was completely unimaginable before.

    But now, this scene is happening.

    Yamaguchi Shigenobu understood, and he also knew that because he suffered heavy losses in Mirokuhara and lost almost all of his elite regiments.  That's why these guys dare to treat themselves like this. If they still have tens of thousands of troops on hand, then these guys will never dare to treat themselves like this.

    But the problem is, there is really nothing I can do about it now.  Although he hated this very much in his heart, he could not do anything to these people at all.

    Thinking about it, those wealthy families also know that their days in Satsuma Domain will definitely not be too long.  Because those enemies who land on Kyushu will soon enter Satsuma Domain.

    By then, the Satsuma Domain will have a new owner.

    Therefore, these wealthy families also understand that even if they offend themselves now.  But I can't do anything to them. This is the naked reality.

    The call for militia failed, which made Yamaguchi Shigenobu very helpless.

    But he had no choice but to accept such a result and the reality in the end.

    So, now he has two days to go before him, just like the dead Fujita high school sophomore, it depends on how he chooses.

    ¡°If he chooses to stick to Octagonal City, then his result will definitely be the same as Fujita¡¯s second grade. It goes without saying.

    If he chooses to leave Bajiao City, he is very likely to survive.

    After leaving Bajiao City, he still had two choices.

    The first is to go to the Edo shogunate and join the shogunate to become a leisurely person.

    Another way is to take the remaining defeated soldiers and choose those who are willing to go with him to join other daimyo.

    The lord of Miyazaki, Fujita Koji, chose to defend Okazaki Castle. As a result, he and his family died without a burial place after the city was destroyed, which can be regarded as paying the price for his choice.

    So, now it depends on what choice Yamaguchi Shigenobu will make.

    After all, Yamaguchi¡¯s personality is different from that of Fujita, so he may not necessarily be able to choose the same path as Fujita.

    As for surrender, Yamaguchi Shigenobu never thought about it.

    On this point, Yamaguchi Shigenobu saw it more clearly than Fujita, a sophomore.

    His existence is an obstacle to those enemies, so those enemies will definitely get rid of him as long as they attack Satsuma Domain.

    You must know that the other party reached an agreement with the shogunate, and the entire Kyushu was ceded to the other party by the shogunate and the court.  So how could they possibly allow themselves, a local snake in Kyushu, to continue to exist.

    This will be a big obstacle to their rule over Kyushu.

    Anyone who is not a fool will understand this problem.

    Therefore, the other party will definitely not keep them in Kyushu Continent.

    What's more, how do the local daimyo of Kyushu behave towards the foreigners who come to take over Kyushu?

    They formed a coalition force of more than 150,000 people and directly gave the opponent a decisive blow.

    For this reason, those foreigners will have no reason to let them continue to live freely on the Kyushu Continent.

    Therefore, even if you want to negotiate peace with the other party and request an armistice, it is impossible for the other party to accept it.

    After all, the other party now has the upper hand. Anyone who is not a fool knows what choice they will make in such a situation.

    ¡°If this matter were put on myself, if the character called for a human being, it would be absolutely impossible for me to negotiate a truce with the other party when I have an absolute advantage.

    I did it that brain disability.

    Therefore, Yamaguchi Shigenobu never thought about this issue at all, unlike Fujita, who not only thought about it but also sent someone to talk about it, but the result was not good.

    Regarding what happened over there at Miyazaki,Yamaguchi Shigenobu still doesn¡¯t know everything about this.

    ¡°If he knew about it, he would definitely feel lucky for his decision, and he would also look down upon the idiot Fujita High School¡¯s actions and despise him.

    In the end, Yamaguchi Shigenobu made his decision, which was to leave Bajiao Castle, Kyushu, and secretly go to Edo.

    After careful consideration, this was the best way he felt.

    Because he had considered what would happen if he went to other daimyo. Sooner or later he would still have to face those foreigners.

    Because the other party¡¯s goal is the entire Kyushu Continent, not a single region.

    Therefore, he fled to other daimyo and was only able to calm down for a while, but in the end he could not avoid meeting foreigners.

    Therefore, if you want to really solve this problem, leaving Kyushu is the best choice.

    ¡°Besides, the enemy is so powerful, they are no match at all.

    The Battle of Maitreya has clearly proven this, and there is no need to prove it again.

    Even the elite army of 150,000 is no match for the opponent. So now that they have lost their elite troops, can they still fight against the opponent?

    No!

    ?Obviously this is impossible.

    After losing all the elite troops in Kyushu, they have no way to directly confront each other.

    So in this way, they can only be slowly defeated by the opponent, and then Kyushu will be slowly lost.

    Yamaguchi Shigenobu saw this, so he made the decision to leave Kyushu.

    As far as making this decision for him, this guy can be considered a person who understands the situation compared to Fujita, a sophomore.

    Since he had already made such a plan, Yamaguchi Shigenobu did not dare to delay.

    God knows when those foreigners will come to attack Satsuma Domain.

    So, it¡¯s best to just leave.

    In fact, it didn¡¯t take more than three days from Yamaguchi Shige¡¯s retreat from Mirokuhara to the time he returned to Satsuma Domain and made a decision.

    He had these three days to think, and he had to thank Zhao Hongyu for it.

    Because Zhao Hongyu brought more than a hundred artillery pieces with him, his marching speed was not very fast.

    In addition, when they were marching to Satsuma Domain, they encountered some small villages and so on, so the speed of their march would be slowed down.

    In this way, Yamaguchi Shigenobu was given three days of precious thinking time, so that they could finally make the right decision.

    By comparison, Miyazaki¡¯s Fujita, a sophomore in high school, is rather miserable.

    He withdrew to Okazaki Castle on the front foot, and Tokugawa Kayo and the others arrived on the back foot.  There was no time for Fujita High School sophomore to think about it, and then he destroyed the Fujita family in a short period of time.

    So, from this point of view, Yamaguchi Shigenobu's luck is much better than that of Fujita.

    Because the decision was made, Yamaguchi took action again.

    His decision must not be taken with too many people, so it must be done secretly.

    ?Otherwise, it will become very troublesome.

    After all, he was the one who wanted to fight the enemy in the first place. Now that he has offended those foreigners, how is it possible that he wants to go to Edo and live a leisurely life?

    Not to mention anything else, a large part of his subordinates will definitely quit.

    Therefore, this matter must be carried out quietly, and some unimportant family members cannot be brought along.

    Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know anything about everything in Satsuma Domain¡¯s Bajiao Castle.

    He is currently leading an army to conquer Kirishima, an important city on the east side of the Satsuma Domain. After leaving five hundred army soldiers behind, he begins to advance towards Shira Castle.

    Capturing Kirishima Castle did not take much effort, because this important city on the east side of the Satsuma Domain was only garrisoned by 150 defenders, so after Zhao Hongyu's round of shelling, he only launched a single charge and captured it.

    The fact that Kirishima Castle was so easily captured also confirmed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s own judgment.

    That means that all the elite members of the Satsuma Domain were lost in Mirokuhara, and there were not many troops left to defend their territory.

    In fact, this is also to blame Yamaguchi Shigenobu, who asked him to mobilize all the elite troops in the territory and take them away.

    When Zhao Hongyu left Kirishima City, he ordered the heads of the defenders to be nailed to the bottom of Kirishima City to frighten the people of Kirishima City.

    This songAlthough it is cruel and inhumane, it is still very effective for the Japanese.

    They just do this.

    In the eyes of the Japanese, such cruel and bloody methods are completely the behavior of the strong.

    Therefore, as someone who understands the nature of Japanese people, how could he refuse.

    "Your Highness, we are still eighty miles away from Shiliang, and we can reach there in just two hours." On the way to the march, Chizuru Hattori, dressed as a samurai, said to Zhao Hongyu.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu summoned a messenger and said: "Send scouts out to search the surrounding area. As well as explore the environment and terrain around Shiliang Castle and report back, I need to get some detailed information. Although Satsuma Domain no longer has enough  We have more troops, but we also have to be more cautious. Often, failure begins with carelessness."

    Along the way, Zhao Hongyu led the army and destroyed many small villages that resisted him. It can be said that no one can stand up to them in front of the imperial army.

    Therefore, the process of the army's march can be considered very smooth.

    But the more smoothly it went, the less Zhao Hongyu dared to be careless.

    After all, as a person from another time and space, he knows very well what carelessness will bring.

    Emma and Sarah, on the other hand, were riding quietly on their horses, listening to Zhao Hongyu and Hattori Chizuru chatting.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
