Chapter 1212 The Qin Army Advances Rapidly
When Tokugawa Ieyasu ran away, the Toyotomi Group also ran away.

The sudden blow made them wonder, and when they judged that it was not the Tokugawa family but the Qin army who attacked them, a strong sense of fear instantly filled the hearts of every leader of the Toyotomi Group.

Qin Jun is really here?

Didn't you say you won't come?

It's not true, is it?
When an event that is considered absolutely impossible happens, those involved will definitely panic, but after the panic, someone must stand up to solve it. Sometimes someone can stand up to solve it, and sometimes no one will stand up.

Because people who can solve it are often killed by people who are lucky before things happen.

So there is such an extremely absurd thing as "if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem".

However, this kind of thing happened repeatedly in the long river of history, repeatedly.

Asano Yukunaga really wanted to kill Ishida Mitsunari who raised the question, but fortunately, Toyotomi Hideji had a bit of a head and kept Ishida Mitsunari for the purpose of protecting his power and status, allowing him to continue to use his talents to solve the problem.

But now, Ishida Mitsunari has no better way.

Escape is the first priority.

Everyone knows where to escape, so it is enough to escape with the elite guards, and the others don't care. Toyotomi Hideji needs to protect himself first.

Then there was Ishida Mitsunari, Ishida Mitsunari found Toyotomi Hideji the fastest, and ran with him.

"What about the others?"

"They all have their own guards, and they can escape."

"What about the army?"

"As long as His Highness is still there, soldiers can continue to recruit. If His Highness is gone, everything will be over!"

What Ishida Mitsunari said was very reasonable and gave Toyotomi Hideji enough psychological comfort, so Toyotomi Hideji decisively abandoned everyone and ran away first, accompanied by Ishida Mitsunari.

When everyone was flustered, Toyotomi Hideji retained the last sliver of reason, knowing that he needed someone who could keep calm to advise, so Ishida Mitsunari had to be taken away, otherwise he would not be able to cope with the next situation alone.

The Qin army invaded on a large scale, and I don't know how many people came.

I don't know what direction they came from, and how many routes the soldiers were divided into.

What is the strategic purpose, I don't know.

Who is the leading general, I don't know.

They don't know everything, they are blind, they are deaf, they are completely passive and can only be beaten.

Under such a panic situation, Ishida Mitsunari retained his composure, brought in his retainers, and ordered a few people to hide and stay in the local area to inquire about news and intelligence, at least to find out the number of Qin troops and the purpose of this battle .

Wars have never been resolved only by means of combat. If the interests are sufficient, diplomatic means can also be resolved, but it is just a little more money. If it can avoid military disasters, it is not impossible to pay more money.

But if the purpose of the Qin army is the worst outcome predicted by Maeda Toshiie, and it is a situation where Xiao Ruxun wants to open up territory and promote the country's prestige, then it will be really bad. Ishida Mitsunari has no confidence that he can defeat Xiao Ruxun's army.

But at least, you must have some information.

In this way, with more than 1000 remnants and defeated generals, Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari ran all the way to Kyoto, wanting nothing but returning to Kyoto quickly.

The significance of the capital is self-evident. As long as there is a capital, an emperor, an administrative team, and the basic foundation is still there, then there is still hope for everything.

If they can't go back to the basic market, can't go back to the capital and can't order the world, then they are rootless duckweeds, lonely ghosts, and they will die sooner or later.

The Toyotomi Group didn't even know what happened and what would lead to it, and the Qin Army's attack was very sharp, and they didn't give them face at all.

On April [-]th, Mahu solved the resistance of the Shimadzu clan, slaughtered the main city of Satsuma, basically controlled the country of Satsuma, and then marched towards Osumi.

Also on April [-]th, Chai Guozhu defeated the main defensive force of the Tokugawa Clan with more than [-] people in Hizen.

These more than [-] people are equipped with artillery and iron cannons, and their firepower is still acceptable. However, facing the superior firepower of the Qin army, they soon fell into a disadvantage. Their formation was destroyed.

Once the army formation is lost, the infantry is a living target. Chai Guozhu finally commanded the infantry to form a battalion step by step, and wiped out the Tokugawa resistance army with overwhelming force, and the Hizen Kingdom basically fell into Chai Guozhu's hands.

Also on April [-]th, Li Rusong's army defeated a resistance army of more than a thousand people at the foot of Mount Fuzhi in Danbaguo Tiantian County. The military supplies marched to Funai County on April [-].

Also on April 5th, Ma Wei led a crusade against the main force of [-] people to occupy Iwami Country. On the one hand, he immediately resumed the mining of Iwami Silver Mountain. Join Chai Guozhu's Kyushu crusade army.

Afterwards, Ma Wei joined the infantry left by Luo Shangzhi, and learned that Luo Shangzhi and Qi Jin had divided their forces to pursue the Toyotomi and Tokugawa clans. They did not object, and incorporated these infantry into the army, and then led the main force to the east. Headed to Bingo country, ready to push all the way to Kyoto.

The incident happened suddenly, the Japanese army was defeated, and the main army was scattered in Luo Shangzhi's sneak attack, and they fled one after another, causing panic and chaos everywhere, and various rumors were flying everywhere.

For example, Daqin sent millions of troops to crusade against Japan, everyone ran for their lives and so on.

If Xiao Ruxun found out, he would really want to laugh.

His reorganization plan is to prepare a standing army of 100 million in five years, which is almost his limit. Do you want him to use a million troops to attack Japan?

It is estimated that the food in the whole of Daqin is not enough for them to eat in Japan, so they will have to fish at sea for a living.

One million troops, one hundred thousand troops are enough to wipe out the resistance forces in Japan's two central centers, and the next task is to arrest them.

Xiao Ruxun had no intention of governing Japan as a colony at all, but planned to capture more than half of the elite population to the mainland of Great Qin to work as coolies to increase the population.

A small part is left to be used as a foundation. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is fine to wait for death.

As for the matter of giving the land to the generals and ministers, let those generals and ministers think about it themselves, and recruit people to develop and operate it, then it is none of his business.

Anyway, leave a little population for them to toss. It is their ability to survive the toss, and it is their inability to toss to death. The emperor gave them a fief.

Xiao Ruxun didn't take Japan seriously at all, so it doesn't matter whether it is built or not, and it doesn't matter whether to preserve the essence. Except for a city of Kyoto and Nara that must be preserved as a territory directly under the central government, how do the other generals judge? up.

The current destruction is also for the sake of less trouble in the future. If too much is kept, it is not a good thing.
