Chapter 611 Expansion
It is best to praise the two brothers together.

Zhu Youjian's casual boast is of great significance to Sanada Shouxin, who has just taken refuge here.

And what he thought about before was naturally done by him.

The country of Wa is small and surrounded by the sea.

Therefore, the possibility of going to the enemy's rear to pull up an army to harass the shogunate's rear to create fighter opportunities for the main force is really quite feasible.

Taking a boat quietly to the back of Honshu Island, the chances of being discovered are not high.

It's just that the risk of this matter is not small.

Sanada Shoshin also wanted to give it a go because he had been silent and depressed since he was a child in the Sendai Clan, and was eager to make meritorious service.

"The lord confers on you first-class Niulu Zhangjing, which is the banner of the lord. As long as you have a fief, you will be famous. If you lead 50 people away, the artillery in the army cannot be embezzled. Before you leave, see if you can requisition some more ships."

"Thanks to the elder brother!"

Before he climbed Longevity Mountain, Zhu Youjian knew why the country was gone, and now he naturally knows how to speed up the collapse of a country's regime.

From the perspective of the enemy, internal and external troubles are indispensable, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are used as a foil, and the situation is extremely favorable.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's expectations for Sanada's trustworthiness are indeed quite high.

He also thought that if he did a good job later, he wouldn't necessarily have to attack the shogunate from behind.

It is also possible to march directly to Edo Castle instead.

After Sanada Shouxin took a boat across the sea, Zhu Youjian set foot on Honshu Island in the Wa Kingdom.

Kazuki Aikawa and Tsunahiro Mori, the daimyo of the Changzhou Clan, hurried over to welcome them.

The army set foot on the Honshu Island in a mighty way. On the side of Zhu Youjian, there were also figures of Kyushu daimyo. The headquarters of the Black Banner Army and the local Japanese army in Kyushu landed in two places. All kinds of messy flags and family crests fluttered.

"Is Nabeshima, Hosokawa, Matsuura, and Takanao Kuroda here? I don't know if he personally leads the army. It's really embarrassing."

Among the members of the Mori family who came to greet them, a middle-aged daimyo saw the flag of the Kyushu Army following the black flag, and couldn't help covering his face and whispering.

Maori Tsunahiro is right next to him, although he is the governor of the Maori family, it is not easy to say anything to this grandpa, so he only sent someone to pass on a message: "Master Long, the governor said that if you are unwell, you can go to the back to rest. .”

"No need! Leaving at this time will cause trouble for the family."

Mori Julong didn't really feel much about betraying the Tokugawa shogunate, but this betrayal hurt his honor, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional.

"I just don't know what will happen to the Western Army this time"

Back then, Sekihara and Mori's family governor was named the general, and this general was Mori's father.

Now that the Maoris are in the Western Army again, and the war is close to the territory of the Maoris, if there is a problem with being the general again, this life will really be difficult.

Thinking about asking someone to pass a message to Gang Guang, Zhu Youjian had already rode up to him.

Maori's side was inevitably frightened by Zhu Youjian's body shape, and some teenagers even exclaimed.

There is no time for the beating of children. After the two sides barely got acquainted with each other during the welcome ceremony, the army rushed straight to the front line without stopping.

After joining forces, Zhu Youjian will finally have the opportunity to meet with the ministers as the chief general on the front line of the battlefield, come to a meeting of ministers of the king, and mobilize before the battle.

Due to the lack of language and customs between the Black Flag headquarters and the Japanese local army, Qi Xinlang didn't have enough translators, so they were naturally divided into two teams.

The black flag generals are on the left, and the Japanese are on the right. One side is full of armor and gaudy decorations, and the other side is mostly black, and some are deliberately old.

Obviously, from the black flag's side, it is very likely that the general will fight in person.

The two camps whispered to each other occasionally, and they all sat on the small benches and waited for Zhu Youjian to speak.

After marching these days, some of the Japanese samurai daimyo who had returned to the army were also familiar with the internal military framework of the black flag, and felt the warmth of the black flag.

As far as the military salary is concerned, it is already much better than the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Follow the black flag to fight and send money.

These days, the exchange between the new policy brought by the black flag and the old policy implemented by the shogunate in Kyushu Island, the daimyos have almost touched.

The most basic change is the issue of land control and taxation.

The black flag ensured that the lands of the surrendered daimyos would be hereditary. In fact, they had adopted Daming's fiefdom policy towards princes. The fiefdoms were still governed by state and county officials, and the daimyos could only get part of the tax.

That is to say, black flags and daimyo are divided into seven to three, and local black flag prefectures and counties get seven, and daimyos get three. After all, it is impossible for black flags to pay grain and taxes to be transported to Liaodong.

It seems that the big names have suffered huge losses, but in fact, under these policies, the local states and counties are basically people from the local wealthy families.

On the other hand, the shogunate does not collect taxes from daimyo.

It sounds so comfortable.

In fact, the shogunate can require all kinds of daimyo to serve in the military, and can let daimyo contribute manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build Tokugawa's castle, or engage in public works, such as road construction or road repair.

"Samurai Laws" strictly governs the daimyos, and all matters in the feudal domains are subject to the Edo laws.

Both parties have their own advantages and disadvantages, but at present, the black flag, which indulges daimyo's local political and military rights and has more standardized laws, is more attractive to all daimyos.

As for the image of the "black barbarian" of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty, it has long been completely eliminated in Kyushu Island with the existence of strong ships and guns and the existence of the Black Flag Warriors.

The black flag highlights an advance, without embellishment or cover-up.

Swallowing flesh and blood and swelling all the way regardless of the consequences, no consideration of hidden dangers at all, the swelling is over.

This is what Zhu Youjian wanted.

The first meeting was naturally Zhu Youjian's speech.

The decision-making is also very simple, just fight against Hiroshima.

After finishing the first day, wait for the follow-up ships to deliver supplies on the second day, and the mobilization of the armies is completed, and the war will start on the third day.

Sanada Xingchang made a name for himself and accumulated military exploits. After gaining power, he quickly promoted a group of people from the ronin who came for his name.

It is impossible to pull up Sanada Chibei in a short time.

However, when a bunch of black-bottomed six-cent coin flags moved forward as the vanguard, it still made the shogunate army restless, as if they were timid before fighting.

The Black Flag Headquarters and the Japanese Army are also fighting on two fronts, so as to avoid lack of coordination and cooperation due to communication problems.

Soon there were gunfire and gunshots in many places on the front line, and you came and went in the mountains and wilderness.

The shogunate still has a huge advantage in military strength, but the black flag attack has just begun, and the shogunate army will inevitably be suppressed by firepower. However, relying on the defense of the mountains, the black flag advance is mostly blown all the way, so the speed is slow and the cost is high.

"heard it?"

"I heard my lord."

In the past, Sanada Shouxin seldom left Sendai Fan in order to save his life. Now that he leaves Sendai Fan and wants to expand his ambitions, he is extremely courageous.

When Heiqi bombarded the shogunate army with flying thunder cannons, and when the bullets and arrows of the two armies intersected, he took a few timid ronin and ran to the bushes only a hundred meters away from the battlefield to watch the show.
