Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 604 Direct Acceleration

Therefore, after Kazuki Aikawa arrived, the confrontation between Sanada Xingchang's troops who had already been dubbed the "Second Soldier of Sanada" and the shogunate army who had been defeated several times was completely broken.

When he first landed on Honshu Island, Sanada Xingchang took advantage of the shogunate army's forward crossing the strait to make a surprise attack and defeated the shogunate army.

Since then, a large number of ronin warriors have come to vote.

Because of the outbreak of the Jingzhengyuki Rebellion in Edo, all the ronin hired by the shogunate army were liquidated and excluded. The ronin could not approach the camp of the shogunate army at all, so they could only choose the black flag.

Relying on Ronin and the nearly two thousand black flag warriors in the headquarters, Sanada Xingchang blocked the main force of the shogunate, advocating that the black flag navy was waiting on the side, so that the shogunate army did not dare to cross the river to Kyushu Island.

Now that Aikawa Kazuki came, the Black Banner Warriors immediately launched an active attack on the shogunate army.

And not just military.

And diplomacy.

Is the Tokugawa shogunate doing well?

For a group of genealogy daimyos, they have done a good job.

The foreign sample daimyo said it was very reluctant.

It can only be said that it is better than returning to the troubled times to re-divide the land, turmoil, and loss of life.

Because of the Tokugawa shogunate's policy of cutting and changing vassals, many vassal lords lost their fiefs, and some daimyos of various vassals had to hand over their fiefs.

At the same time, Iemitsu expanded Edo, built large-scale construction projects and built buildings, and the shogunate called on all parts of the country to contribute money and people. The financial expenditure of each domain increased greatly, and the economic situation fell into a difficult situation, resulting in more samurai being dismissed by the main family.

Unless it is a samurai family whose ancestors have produced famous warriors, or a ronin who has made military exploits, it is difficult for a ronin samurai to find a new job.

How big is the ronin warrior?

More than one mercenary can pull up 10 people at a time.

In the 19th year of Keicho and the 20th year of Keicho, the Osaka Rebellion occurred for two consecutive years. A total of [-] ronin gathered in Osaka Castle to express their protest to the shogunate.On the other hand, many farmers also began to gather crowds to make troubles, which further deteriorated the law and order.

Fortunately, it is now the last year of Iemitsu's administration, and the biggest wave of ronin samurai has passed, and the image of the shogunate has risen a little among the ronin group with the passing of the old ronin.

Otherwise, after Sanada Yukimasa and Aikawa Kazuki took the black flag as their command and broadcast the black flag "benevolent government", more than 5 people would rise up.

That's right.

The two led troops to defeat a division of the Shogunate Army in the northern part of the Changzhou Domain. The Changzhou Domain Lord led troops on the side of the Shogunate Army, and his subordinates were also defeated.

Then the two broadcast the policy of the black flag in Liaodong to the surrounding areas before attacking the two countries of Changzhou Fan.

The treatment policy for 'samurai', that is, bannermen, the promotion path for low-level civilians, a more secure government system for daimyo, and a more complete government operation model.

What's more, the Black Banner Warriors came forward to explain their treatment in the Black Banner, as well as the vast future and rich products of the Liaodong land.

Culture shock from the wider world crashes right in.

Compared with the Dutch, what the Portuguese say is more specific, more detailed, and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

more attractive.

"Can a pariah become a warrior? Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"Haven't you heard of it!? Those damn savages are just selling slaves in the Hirado domain! If the savages replace the shogunate! We will all become slaves of the savages! If those traitors who follow the savages succeed, they will naturally be high-ranking and rich! They Do you believe what I said!?"

"A nobleman will always be a nobleman! A daimyo will always be a daimyo! From today on, anyone who dares to spread the demagogic words of a savage! Beheaded!"

The shogunate army suffered a disadvantage from partial division, but according to the defeated soldiers, there are already tens of thousands of armored warriors of the black flag savages on the opposite side!Not only was he extremely brave, but hundreds of countries collapsed.

The first batch of them gathered a total of more than 3 people, but now 1 people have been defeated, and their strength is the same as that of the opposite side.

So I can only scold a few words.

But word has spread.

It was first introduced into the ears of Maori Tsunahiro, the lord of Changzhou.

He has just finished his job assignment, and the daimyo in Edo changes positions every April. When Iemitsu died in April, he had to stay in Edo for a while to attend the funeral, but the invasion of the black flag made him have The reason is to return to the fief and defend the land.

It didn't take long for him to come back and lose the battle.

It was almost the last blow to the already precarious Changzhou Fan.

Fifty years ago, the Changzhou Domain was originally a large domain with 50 million shi, but because of the wrong team in the Sekigahara War, the then domain lord Mori Terumoto joined the Western Army to fight against Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was appointed General of the Western Army.

After the war, the Changzhou Fan was directly cut off 90 stone fiefs.

Since then, the finances of the vassal state have been in deficit year after year.

Therefore, in the face of the black flag soldiers approaching the city, Maori Tsunahiro chose to personally open the door to welcome the black flag into the city of Changzhou, and led the troops of the Changzhou clan to join the ranks of the black flag. Unicom's black flag, or want to please the emperor, plus a mighty 5 people.

The news of Mao Ligang's return to obedience was sent to Zhu Youjian following the news of the Edo Castle fire.

"Give him the commander-in-chief of Changzhou, and give him the first-class Baron Shunjin."

"Whoo."

Just give it a title and it's over.

There have been a lot of surrenders recently.

Mainly Kyushu Island.

The overall situation of Kyushu Island has been decided, the Nabeshima clan surrendered first, followed by the Hosokawa clan, and the two most prominent clans among the foreign daimyos of Kyushu Island both voted, the coalition army immediately collapsed, and the armies of the various vassals returned to their respective homes.

Guarding the house is the most important thing.

The old middlemen in Nagasaki Port are still running around trying to pull up a coalition force on Kyushu Island again, but many clans have already sent ministers to Black Flag, and they want to wait and see.

Or after flattering the black flag king Wuerte, he said humbly that his feudal lord daimyo had gone to Shenqin and hadn't come back yet. He hoped that the black flag king would give them a chance and let them wait for a letter.

This made Zhu Youjian lose the mind of mobilizing troops.

In other words, it is not easy to use troops.

Japanese people advocate abstinence and diet control is not random.

There is not much arable land in this place, the farming production technology is also poor, the output is small, and the types of crops are also poor.

April and May are the time for spring plowing, and after winter, grain reserves are decreasing.

Although the black flag warriors brought their own money to eat, although it was a bit worse than when they were in Liaodong, it was already extravagant in Japan.

It’s okay for the general to eat, but the soldiers below eat like this, and the Japanese country really can’t afford it.

Not to mention that there will be more troops in the future.

Of course, the grain transportation capacity of the black flag transport ship is not bad.

But Zhu Youjian did exactly what Sanada Xingchang said.

I feel sorry for Edo Castle.

"Is all the food and fodder delivered to the ship?"

"Return to the master, it's all installed, just wait for the master to speak"

"Send it over!"

With a wave of Zhu Youjian's hand, a black-flagged treasure ship loaded with relief supplies such as food, fodder, clothing, cloth, and medicine rushed to Edo Bay.

He also felt sorry for the supplies.

However, the great fire in Edo and the chaos in the Honshu Island of the Japanese Kingdom are god-sent opportunities that must not be used.

And Edo is indeed a good place, it should be used by him.
