Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Amami Island, Li Xiang, his nephew and cronies were all moved by Zhao Hongyu's recruitment.

    Not only the upper class people like Li Xiang, but also some pirates at the bottom are also tempted by the solicitation from the Americas.  Not to mention anything else, they couldn't resist the temptation just because of the two hundred acres of fertile land.

    However, unlike the pirates at the bottom, Li Xiang has many things to consider, so he is very cautious when making a decision to defect.

    He needs to wait and see. Only after Zhao Hongyu truly shows his value can he make the final decision.

    Now, it¡¯s impossible.

    ¡°But it¡¯s understandable that Li Xiang thinks so.

    ¡°After all, he has experienced many things, and there are many storms and waves.

    Therefore, it is normal for him to be cautious when facing some problems.

    Time passed little by little, and the battle formation in Kyushu Continent was in full swing.

    Because of the disastrous defeat in Mirokuhara, the vitality of the thirteen famous families of the Kyushu Allied Forces was severely damaged.  This ultimately resulted in the loss of all the elite soldiers, leaving these daimyo with no strength to resist the attack of the wolf-like imperial army.

    And Zhao Hongyu and the others seized such an opportunity very well.  He quickly divided his forces, allowing Tokugawa Kayo to lead a group of troops to attack Miyazaki, and in a short period of time they captured Okazaki Castle, the key point of Miyazaki territory, and also killed the lord of Miyazaki.

    With the assistance of Yuji Kawabe, Tokugawa Kayo did not waste any time. After conquering Okazaki Castle, he immediately divided his troops again and began to occupy the entire Miyazaki.

    Because all the elite soldiers in the Miyazaki territory were lost, under such a situation, they simply could not withstand the attack of the Imperial Alliance Army Corps with high morale.

    In just three days, the entire Miyazaki territory came under the control of Tokugawa Kayo.

    Among them, the Tokugawa division led by Hattori Kizo, composed of Miyazaki surrender troops, with the help of five hundred imperial musketeers, reached the Hyuga Castle of Bungo Domain.

    The Saito Castle in the north, Xiaomarukawa Castle, Osuzu Castle, Ishido Castle and the villages and towns along the way were all captured by the Tokugawa division led by Hattori Kizo, which caused Bungo to panic.

    Fortunately, after Hattori Kizo conquered all the territories in the northern part of Miyazaki, he held back the army, which made the people on the Bungo side breathe a sigh of relief.

    In fact, it¡¯s not that Hattori Onizou didn¡¯t want to continue attacking northward to seize Bungo Domain¡¯s territory.

    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t have many troops to begin with, and in addition, he had just captured dozens of villages and towns in the four cities.  Therefore, he now needs time to buffer and digest the captured cities and villages before he can proceed with the next military plan.

    After all, the people in the territory north of Miyazaki must be stabilized.

    Hattori Onizou didn¡¯t expect what would happen in the end.

    Besides, the original order given to him by Tokugawa Kayo was to seize the northern part of Miyazaki territory, but it did not allow him to directly attack Bungo Domain. Therefore, if Hattori Kizo wants to carry out the next military operation, he must start from Germany.  Kawa Kayo needs to get approval from the command.

    It was precisely because of the above considerations that Hattori Onizou's troops stopped.

    But even so, the threat of a large army pressing down on the territory scared the lord of the Hoho Domain, Kobayashi Munomichi, into a cold sweat.

    He had experienced the war in Mirokuhara, so even if he returned to Bungo, he had not yet recovered from the shock on the battlefield.

    In his opinion, people like him have provoked terrible characters, and those enemies are definitely evil spirits coming out of hell.  It is impossible for mortals like them to defeat each other.

    In short, Xiaolin Zongdao was completely frightened and he no longer had the courage to continue fighting with the enemy.

    At the same time, after Xiaolin Zongdao came back, he hid in his apartment and began to live intoxicated and dreamy.  He just lived a life of waste. I don't know what he was thinking. He didn't even give orders to mobilize the forces within the territory to prepare for the enemy's attack.

    Hattori Kizo will definitely not know about Kobayashi Munemichi¡¯s inner activities.

    But one thing is very obvious, that is, Bungo Clan will definitely not be able to cope with future conquests.

    And the soldiers and samurai soldiers of the Bungo clan who followed Kobayashi Munichi's defeat, saw that their lord had become like this, and they all despaired of their future.

    At this point, the soldiers and samurai in the Bungo domain fled Bungo one after another.Fan.

    In fact, as long as you are not a fool, you can clearly see the shape of the future. Bungo Clan no longer has the power to deal with future enemies and wars.

    If they continue to stay, it will be no different than waiting to die.

    ???????????????????????????????????? If Lord Kobayashi Munachi can cheer up, maybe everyone will stay and fight with him to the end.

    But the problem is that everything the lord Kobayashi Munado has done is too disappointing.

    Unlike the Satsuma Clan and the Miyazaki Clan, although the Bungo Clan has not been attacked for the time being, a large number of middle and high-level officials in its territory have fled.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    I wish I could have enough of all the things I need to eat, drink and have fun in this life in a short period of time.

    By then, even if you die, it will be worth it.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    At the same time, it also proved that Kobayashi Munado was completely disappointed with the future.

    However, his approach was different from Yamaguchi Shigenobu of Satsuma Domain.

    Yamaguchi Shigenobu of the Satsuma Domain was very decisive. In order to save his own life, he would rather abandon the entire Satsuma Domain and escape with his cronies and family members.

    But Kobayashi Zongdao did not think of this. Instead, he prepared to eat, drink and have fun, and then waited for the enemy to arrive to announce his final outcome.

    ¡°Perhaps the reason why Kobayashi Somichi became like this is because the bloody cruelty of Mirokuhara battlefield was too shocking.

    But no matter what, the Bungo Clan is now a paper tiger, and it can be smashed to pieces with just a slight poke.

    For all this, Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Onizou did not know. If they knew that Bungo Domain was now in such a mess, then Tokugawa Kayo would have ordered anything and took the opportunity to take down Bungo Domain.

    At the same time, the two legions of the Imperial Alliance Army led by Yuji Kawabe began military operations against the southern part of the Miyazaki Domain.

    Like Hattori Onizou, Kawabe Yuuji did not encounter any major obstacles in his military operations against the southern part of the Miyazaki Domain.  Although they occasionally encountered resistance from some small villages and towns, these powerless obstacles eventually failed under the crushing force of the army.

    Kawabe Yuuji led two Imperial Alliance Army regiments along the way. Whenever they encountered villages, towns or cities that dared to resist, they would basically rob them for the day after breaking through.

    At the same time, they would also cut off the heads of the leaders of the resistance and their subordinates, and put their heads on wooden sticks and stand them on both sides of the road as a warning.

    ????????????????????????????????????¡­

    At this point, it will become much simpler from now on.

    Many times, as soon as the army arrives, whether it is a village or a city, they will immediately count the white flags and surrender without any need for Yuji Kawabe and the others to do anything.

    For this situation, Kawabe Yuuji is still satisfied.

    The only ones who were dissatisfied were the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army.

    They hope that some short-sighted guys will dare to resist, because only when someone resists will they be able to live happily for a day after breaking the city.

    Therefore, facing these people who surrendered honestly, the soldiers of the First and Second Corps were truly disappointed.

    The composition of the Imperial Alliance soldiers is actually quite complicated.

    First of all, both the soldiers in the First and Second Corps were Japanese soldiers captured by Zhao Hongyu earlier.

    These captured Japanese soldiers include those from the Osaka area and those from the Miyazaki Domain in Kyushu.

    However, after they joined the Imperial Alliance Army and fought with Yuji Kawabe, they immediately fell in love with what they were doing and the generals they followed.

    ??Even, they feel that there is nothing wrong with following the empire.

    Because the empire can make them rich and give them a taste of women.

    As for the fact that the women they robbed and bullied were originally their compatriots, no one cared at all.

    Today¡¯s Imperial Alliance soldiers can be said to have completely surrendered to the empire, and are no longer psychologically hostile to the empire.  Nowadays, they have regarded themselves as imperial soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

    Kawabe Yuuji knew exactly what these people were thinking.

    It is precisely because of this reason that Kawabe Yuuji encountered resistance on the way to attack.Give that order.

    He knew that if he wanted to conquer the hearts of these soldiers, make them obey him and at the same time restore their morale and courage in a short time, and dare to attack and fight.

    ¡° Then, I must let them see the benefits, that is to say, I must see the benefits that can be obtained by following the empire.

    Judging from the current situation, Kawabe Yuuji¡¯s plan is going well and very smoothly.

    The soldiers of the Six Thousand Imperial Alliance Army have now become like wolves and tigers. When they hear that there is a war, their eyes will light up and they are howling for a fight.

    This is what Yuji Kawabe wants.

    Although the means are somewhat disgraceful, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to be able to achieve the goal in the end?

    As for the unlucky people of Kyushu Tsk who cares what they think? After all, they have betrayed the country anyway, so they can just work under the American crown prince.

    This idea of ??Yuji Kawabe can basically represent the ideas of the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army.

    I really don¡¯t know if Zhao Hongyu knew their idea, should he cry or laugh?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
