Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1081 Crusade against Samurai
"The original Yamagata Domain, Aizu Domain, Yonezawa Domain and other feudal lords are gathering troops in Dewa Country, and it is very likely that they will attack our Edo Castle along the eastern route."

"Many samurai in Fukuoka, Kumamoto and other Kyushu islands also broke out in rebellion, and there was constant turmoil in places other than Edo Castle."

After the abolition of the sword was issued, the Japanese civil war that had ended had once again started a war. The samurai group whose interests had been damaged took the lead in launching the attack, and assembled the most unwilling samurai in the Dewa country. Small-scale samurai rebellions occurred one after another in other places, even supporting Kyushu. There were also samurai rebellions in the area under the command of Saikuni Daimyo.

The daimyo and upper-class samurai served in the new government, while the middle and lower-class samurai not only did not benefit, but lost a series of privileges.The disaffected warriors gathered to complain about their grievances, and then opposed the new government's rule over them.

"A lower-level samurai from the original Satsuma clan occupied an arsenal and hijacked the next retainer to rebel." Mitsuhisa Shimadzu served as the deputy commander of the provincial government office. There are junior samurai who rebel.

"The situation in various places is not optimistic. These warriors are not dudes who lived in the peaceful and prosperous times. They are all descendants of warriors in the Warring States Period. They have also participated in several years of civil wars. It is difficult." In the temporary government offices of Edo Castle, the newly appointed officials gathered together to mark which areas had rebelled, the route of the rebel army and the scope of influence.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, Tadyoshi Yamauchi, Hideyoshi Mori and other Eastern daimyos also participated in the discussion, and they are more familiar with the local terrain.

"First put down the rebellion in Dewa country and Mutsu country. Hoshina Masaoyu is the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has some prestige in the samurai group. After Tokugawa Iemitsu was arrested, many samurai were headed by him. Samurai from all over the world They also went to the Dewa country to gather one after another. If the rebellion in the Dewa country can be quelled, other samurai groups who are waiting and watching will definitely not dare to rebel." As an old man in the Warring States period, Tachibana Muneshige proposed the strategy of establishing the Northeast first, and then other regions.

Zhang Yuan, Nelson, Sun Xu and other Kyushu army officers gathered in front of the map, and they couldn't help nodding when they heard the opinions expressed by the local Tachibana Soshige.

Now Dongying Kingdom is full of warriors resisting the new government. The Dewa Country and Mutsu Country in the northeast are the most powerful rebellions. Other places are just small troubles because there are no big names to take the lead.If the rebellions in various places were suppressed at the same time, the manpower and material resources consumed would be incalculable.

"Shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves first, and capture kings first. We need to form a government army to fight against the samurai who rebelled in Dewa country." Zhang Yuan and others agreed with Tachibana Zongshige's suggestion.

"Who should lead the government army?" Shen Youlong also knows something about the military. He is the highest officer in the province of Dongying, so he naturally wants to ask about the use of force in Dongying.

"I am the temporary commander-in-chief of the Dongying Province, so I will serve as the temporary commander of the government army, and the deputy commander Mitsuhisa Shimadzu will serve as the deputy commander. The Fourth Fleet is heading towards Dewa Country as a supporting force," Zhang Yuan said.

Although he has just taken office, he has already launched a check and balance strategy of using samurai to attack samurai.

"The peasant uprising army on Shikoku Island was put down by Yamauchi Tadyoshi and other officials from Shikoku Island. During the pacification of the rebellion, the troops of the feudal clans were not disbanded for the time being. After the peasant army was completely pacified, the troops of the feudal clans were disbanded and the security forces were formed. Zhili Fleet I will assist you," Nelson said to Tadyoshi Yamauchi.

"With such warships and artillery, we can easily force-land the peasant army on Shikoku Island." Tadyoshi Yamauchi was not worried about the issue of crusade against the peasant army because of the intervention of the Zhili fleet.

"The samurai rebellion on Kyushu Island, I have to ask the newly appointed county magistrates to win over or suppress it." Shen Youlong said to Tachibana Zongshige, who will soon be the magistrate of Kumamoto County, and others.

Although there are samurai rebellions everywhere, the samurai are still full of awe of the daimyo. With these daimyos serving as county magistrates in established counties, they can suppress the middle and lower-level samurai to the greatest extent.

"Leave the affairs of Kyushu Island to our Tachibana family." Tachibana Munemo was full of vigor, as if he had returned to the Warring States Period when he was fighting for hegemony.

After the anti-insurgency deployment was made for various parts of Dongying, Zhang Yuan immediately summoned Ono Taro and other red scarf warriors to form a government army in Edo Castle.Although the samurai group is hated by the Huaxia Society, there is no doubt that the samurai group is the most capable in the entire Dongpu, and dares to invade Korea.Some warriors who were suppressed by the Huaxia Society as coolies were temporarily released because of the war, and they joined the government army to act together to make meritorious deeds.

The number of security forces directly under the province was originally 3000. In order to crusade against the rebellious samurai from Dewa and Mutsu countries, Zhang Yuan temporarily formed a musketeer team of more than 5000 people, and formed a crusade with an infantry brigade from the Second Corps. , a total of 8000 combatants marched towards Mutsu along the eastern coastline.The Fourth Fleet resupplied the crusade army along the coastline and blocked the coastline.

Yamauchi Tadyoshi and other daimyos from Shikoku Island returned to Shikoku Island on the galleons and troop carriers of the Zhili Fleet, where there were still peasant uprisings all over the mountains and plains waiting for them to clean up.These peasant rebels are all farmers who have no food to eat because of the successive years of the Osaka War. With the end of the large-scale war, their disintegration will be a matter of time.

Tachibana Muneshige and other Kyushu daimyo returned to Kyushu to suppress the local samurai rebellion.

There are big figures sitting in several important places, and Shen Youlong is busy restoring the order in Edo City, where the New Deal was first implemented.

Edo Prefecture is the core prefecture among the established six prefectures of Japan, and Edo Castle is positioned as the seat of the provincial government. After Edo Castle is well managed, other places can follow suit.

It was the height of the samurai rebellion, and the streets of Edo Castle were still patrolled by naval soldiers and patrolmen.

After the Edo referendum, the people of Edo Castle could only acquiesce in the establishment and management of the new government.Since the officials at the middle and lower levels of the new government have employed a large number of shogunate clerks, it will not inconvenience ordinary townspeople.If it weren't for the soldiers in Kyushu Army navy uniforms standing guard on the streets, they would still feel that they were living in the Edo period.

After the Great Fire of Edo, the ruins of the original castle tower were cleared away by samurai acting as coolies, and a large area of ​​open space appeared in Edo Castle, and the construction of the core area of ​​Edo Castle began.The Kyushu Army has sent craftsmen and city planners in advance to re-plan Edo City according to the urban pattern of China.
