Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Tokugawa Jiaxuan decided to turn against Huaxia after more than a year of preparation. Of course, there is a certain basis.In fact, over the past year or so, the shogunate has not only trained two teams of about 6000 standing and standing preparations, but also concentrated about 5000 people from lower-level samurai and pro-vassal families in the shogunate to establish more than a dozen of them near Edo. A strong branch city was built in an attempt to defend Edo and prevent a repeat of the scene where the Xia army went straight to Huanglong and forced the general to flee.

Of course, compared with the garrison troops of the various cities that still use old-fashioned iron cannons, old-fashioned large cylinders, red spears, and Taisao, the equipment of the Edo garrison has taken on a new look-the bow and arrow team has been completely replaced by the flintlock iron cannon team. The big barrel was also replaced with the main naval gun of the Dutch-so far, each scull in Edo City is equipped with at least twelve eight-pound guns, nine nine-pound guns, eight twelve-pound guns and no less than four 24-pound guns. pounder cannon.

The equipment of Shuyuan Fan, Xiaoxing Group Fan and Xin Fan is still the same, and the standing strength of the elite compiled on the basis of the three is even stronger.Jiaxuan has carefully studied the establishment of the Xia army, so this standing team is divided into five preparations, each with 600 people, and one general serving; each has six teams, each with 33 people, and one general; each team has groups of 15 people. , There is one person at the head of the group; the group is divided into two ashigarutos, and each ashigaruto leads [-] people.

According to the design of Jiaxuan, each of the six teams prepared five teams of long guns and flintlock iron cannons. One team was equipped with three four-pounder field guns. There are 240 spears, 210 dragging horses, and [-] warriors riding war horses. As for the wartime baggage, the farmers will be levied on the spot to undertake the transportation.

The prepared equipment is actually completely consistent with the standing equipment, except that the army’s weapons and equipment are paid for by the daimyos of the feudal domains, and the soldiers are also provided by the daimyos. However, the commanders above the head of the group are sent by the shogunate, so even if the combat power is not as good as the standing equipment. It is not as good as it is, but the difference is extremely limited, and it can be regarded as the same level of combat power. [

Jiaxuan believes that the shogunate can use the branch city to consume the vigor of the Xia army who came from the expedition, and then invest in standing and preparation at critical moments, so as to achieve the purpose of inflicting heavy damage on the Xia army.Jiaxuan believed that as long as the invading Xia army was dealt a heavy blow, it would be impossible for Huaxia to continue to invest in Japan again and again, so that the two sides could resume negotiations under a situation that was beneficial to the shogunate, and finally ensure the shogunate Win without fighting.

Jiaxuan didn't know that his plan had actually gone bankrupt. Zheng Kezang, whose overall plan had been disrupted by the Japanese incident, had angrily made a decision to deal with the shogunate in the end. The [-]rd Division, the [-]nd Division of the Xuanwu Army, the [-]th Division of the Habayashi Army, the [-]st Brigade of the [-]rd Division of the Ryūjō Army, the [-]rd Brigade of the [-]nd Division of the Ryujō Army, and the [-]nd Brigade of the [-]th Division of the Ryujō Army The [-] Xia troops have already marched to Ryukyu, and a war of annihilating the country is about to start.

On September 11, the [-]th year of Wucheng, the Seventh Regiment of the Annan Imperial Battalion arrived in Ryukyu.Suffering from seasickness, the Annan people were surprised to find that Naha Port had become a military city. Seeing the sails of warships outside the port, the Annan people suddenly realized that Huaxia did not want the Annan people to sacrifice their lives, but to use this to express Annan is showing off his force.

The Vietnamese who arrived later also felt the same way. Only the Koreans felt better. They had already taken advantage of China once, and they naturally wanted to share a share of the war dividend in the war that must be won.

On September 11, 25th year of Wucheng, the first Xia army that arrived in Ryukyu began to board the ship and leave the port to fight for Japan after more than ten days of rest.Prior to this, the Xia Army Navy had continuously bombarded the ports of Yokohama, Junfu, Nagoya, Sakaicho, Osaka, Nagasaki and other places. The enemy, otherwise the thunder strike will come to them first.

Xia Jun’s advertisement made the big names from all over the country sit on wax. After all, after the previous summer war, the princes from all over the country were full of doubts about whether the shogunate could defeat Xia Jun. It is easy to dare not send troops to Edo Qinwang, let alone Mao Li, Maeda and others who hold state-level foreign appearances.

At this moment when the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is overwhelming, some people in Japan are beginning to move around.

"Master Wuzhexiaolu, where did you get this news from?" In a mansion somewhere in Heianjing, several young ministers were talking softly. "Could it be fake news released by the shogunate?"

"Major General Yingsi Quanzuo, you are overwhelmed. The shogunate has been passed down for a hundred years, and it doesn't care about the court at all. Who can make money by releasing such false news? It's not us poor people who want power but have no power, want money but have no money. "Xiaolu Yiqing, a martial artist from the Habayashi family's family, clarified. "Don't worry, I heard this from Xia Ren with my own ears."

"Xia people? Aren't those Xia people already driven away by the shogunate?" Another young official from the Tsinghua family asked in surprise. "How could it be possible that there are still people stranded in Japan? Master Mushakoji, it's not that I want to question it. In fact, this matter is of great importance. You have to make it clear."

"Master Sanjo, please don't worry, I know the key points. As for why there are Xia people in Japan." Warrior Xiaolu Yiqing smiled. "Although the Xia people have done many things that are not good for Japan, there are always people who have benefited from them. These people are obviously dissatisfied with the shogunate. With these people's cover, it is not surprising that one or two Xia people stay in Japan."

"That's true, some rich merchants are very courageous." San Tiao's attendants nodded. "So people are believable, but things?"

Warrior Xiaolu Yiqing took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it on the tatami: "My lords, please take a look."

Several ministers leaned over and saw a piece of official paper on the ground, with a few lines written densely on the paper. The general content was that the shogunate tore up the treaty and repeated it. The Chinese court was deeply dissatisfied with this and decided to abolish it. Shogunate politics, restoring the authority of the Japanese imperial court.The lower part of the official document is stamped with the seal of the Chinese envoy Honglu Honglu in Osaka and the stamp of Qin Moumou, the envoy of Honglu. Obviously, this is something that should never be real again.

"Great." Major General Ying Si Quan Zuo, who is proficient in Chinese, took the paper like a treasure. "Master Wu Zhe Xiaolu, if the court can realize the restoration of the king's government, you will be the number one hero." After making a promise to Wu Zhe Xiaolu, who was quite proud, Major General Ying Siquan Zuo asked again. "Where is this person now, I want to ask him personally."

"Major General Quan Zuo, it's not that I'm pouring cold water on you, it's a big deal, and it's not something you can reach an agreement with, my lord." Wu Zhexiaolu didn't take Ying Si's confidence seriously. "To connect the two countries and urge Xia Ting to restore the authority of the imperial court, I am afraid that several patriarchs of the Tsinghua family will come forward to facilitate it. Only in this way can the Xia people feel that we value it."

"It makes sense," San Tiao's attendants saw that they would not get any credit for it, and naturally they did not want to see Major General Ying Si Quan Zuo get some rewards, so they chimed in from the sidelines. "Only by a few prime ministers, maybe the Xia people can feel that we value it."

Major General Ying Siquan Zuo frowned: "But if a few Patriarchs come out, I am afraid that the momentum will be great. What if the shogunate is alerted?"

The fourth minister, who had been silent all this time, said disdainfully at this time: "The shogunate? The shogunate is too busy to take care of itself now, how can it have the energy to monitor the actions of every minister in the court. In my opinion, this matter is easy to handle. Using the flames of war as an excuse, several Patriarchs went to the countryside to hide for a period of time, and took the opportunity to meet with the Xia people, so that the conditions could be fulfilled." [

Yes, the conditions. Although Huaxia is dissatisfied with the shogunate, Xia Ting can completely replace the Tokugawa shogunate with the Maori shogunate, Maeda shogunate, and Date shogunate. It may not necessarily use the Japanese court to end the shogunate, so there must be a large number of The behind-the-scenes secret agreement is waiting for the court to confirm.However, compared to regaining the long-lost rights from the warriors, agreeing to China's various demands is actually nothing to the Japanese ministers.It's just that all of this needs to be discussed, and it must be argued with reason. Otherwise, if you blindly promise, Huaxia will worry that the ministers will break their promises and become fat in the future.

"Ju Shaona's words are very insightful. So, let me visit the Patriarch of the family, and San Tiao's servants will visit Minister Zuo." Major General Ying Siquan Zuo said this, looking around. "There is an old proverb in China that if the ruler does not keep secrets, the country will be lost, and if the ministers do not keep secrets, the country will be destroyed. This matter is related to the rise and fall of the court, and your personal life. Please ask a few adults to keep the secrets. As for the Xia people, It is obviously enough to have Minister Zuo and Quan Da Nayan to approach him."

The rest of the people promised to keep it secret. At this point, the secret meeting will come to an end.

However, before going out, Ju Shao Nayan said suddenly: "Blindly relying on the Xia people, I am afraid it is just refusing the wolf at the front door and welcoming the tiger at the back door. Shouldn't the court use its own force?"

One sentence pulled several people back to their seats.

"Force? It's too early to think about this now." Santiao's attendant thought about it for a while, and then said. "It's better to wait for the imperial court to take back the power, and then consider incorporating military forces. At that time, there must be a large number of small princes who will join us, and the imperial court can calmly choose a few to serve as personal guards."

Warrior Xiaolu Yiqing considered this matter from another angle: "What the three servants said is very true. If the imperial court is eager to find military power now, and Huaxia sees the clue, will there be unnecessary scruples? Gaining the trust of Huaxia, and then regaining power in the world, may be beneficial."

Ju Shaonayan saw that several people did not understand what he meant, so he explained: "What the two adults said is reasonable, and I also know that we should not act too hastily, but if the court does not rely on force, it is bound to be in the middle of negotiations." Give up more benefits, I am afraid that if the benefits are too much, the court will not be able to deal with it in the future."

Several people were silent for a moment, then Major General Ying Siquan Zuo suddenly laughed: "Master Ju, you are worrying unnecessarily. Now that everything has not been implemented, why worry about the future, let's find a way to get Huaxia's promise before we talk about it."
