Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

Zhao Wuxian nodded and asked them to go back and discuss it.

In fact, does it matter whether the King of Japan agrees or not?

It's ok.

He was forcibly occupied and had no power to resist.

Zhao Wuxian had many choices.

Even the king's envoy has arrived, so the shogunate's envoy will probably be here soon.

The next day.

The shogunate's envoy arrived, and his attitude was tougher than that of the king's envoy.

The king is just a mascot now, so he naturally has no confidence and can negotiate any conditions.

The Shogun was different.

He holds great power and has a large army at his disposal, so how could he surrender easily?

The Shogun conveyed his strong condemnation and dissatisfaction with the naval artillery attack on Edo Bay through the messenger.

They demanded that Zhao Wuxian and others pay compensation and leave Japanese territory immediately, otherwise it would be a declaration of war on Japan.

Such a statement is normal. The Shogun is equivalent to the boss of Japan. How can he be friendly after being slapped in the face?

If he had not experienced several beatings and had just spoken in a friendly manner, he would have been killed by the other daimyo.

The Shogun was not polite, and Zhao Wuxian was even less polite, and directly brought up the King of Japan.

He said that this trip to Japan was at the request of the King of Japan. The shogunate's control of the government was an act of rebellion, and he demanded that the shogunate immediately return power, otherwise the Song Dynasty's naval guns would not attack the port but the city.

When the shogunate envoy heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Are the Song people and the king involved?

This is very troublesome!

The shogunate envoy left in a hurry. Zhao Wuxian's words made him uneasy, and he had to send this message back as soon as possible.

Zhao Wuxian did not stop him. The King of Japan still dared to jump around. He must have some cards up his sleeve. Let the shogunate force him to reveal these cards before controlling him.

Zhao Wuxian stood in front of the table.

He unfolded the map of Japan that Yagyu Fushun had gotten from somewhere.

The map is sloppy.

There are also traces of charcoal drawings and changes on it.

But the general outline is still correct.

He drew a line on the map.

A gentle breeze is blowing.

A holy and noble figure fell from the sky.

The woman in the fluttering white dress looks very fairy-like. It is Zhao Shirong.

She retracted the white [Wings of Heaven] behind her, lifted her hair, and walked in with lotus steps, exuding a light and elegant fragrance.

Ever since she got the [Wings of Sky], she has fallen in love with the feeling of flying high in the sky at an extremely fast speed, which is quite exciting.

"Your Majesty, the western and northern borders of the Yagyu Domain each have their own vassal states, and there have been troop movements."

Zhao Wuxian was not surprised and said, "I have asked Feng Bo'e and Lu Guanying to set up an ambush and kill him first!"

Feng Bo'e and Lu Guanying have been training soldiers in Taihu Lake for almost a year. What effect this has had can only be tested in a major war.

Zhao Wuxian was not worried.

[Divine Sword Guards] are all wearing heavy armor, holding Xuan-grade ring-handled swords, practicing horizontal martial arts, and following the path of heavy-armored warriors.

Every soldier must have internal strength above the second level of acquired marrow cleansing.

So far, the number of people is only about one thousand.

But for these one thousand [Divine Sword Guards], defeating ten thousand is definitely not a problem.

Besides, their enemies could not possibly number more than ten thousand.

A daimyo who has tens of thousands of regular troops in Japan is capable of participating in the competition for the throne of Japan.

Japan is a small country with a sparse population. How many daimyo can afford to support 10,000 regular troops?

The political structure of Japan is very similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty before the Spring and Autumn Period.

They all adopted a feudal system rather than a centralized system.

The shogunate only ruled a quarter of the country.

The other three quarters of the land was divided out in the form of vassal states.

These people who were granted fiefdoms were called "daimyo".

The rank of daimyo during the shogunate era.

There are three levels from high to low.

Daimyo who are related to the feudal domain, daimyo who are hereditary descendants, and daimyo who are related to the feudal domain.

A daimyo who is related to the Tokugawa family.

They were granted fiefdoms in various economically prosperous areas or military strongholds.

The hereditary daimyo are descendants of the heroes who conquered the world with the first shogun of the Edo shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

For example, the Yagyu family. When Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was young, he fought with them to conquer the world, and only then was he able to restore his fiefdom and become a daimyo.

The outer daimyo are descendants of those who defected to and pledged allegiance to Tokugawa Ieyasu after the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, became powerful.

Except for some special cases, most of them were sealed off in some old, remote, poor and ethnic minority areas.

These three kinds of names add up to more than three hundred.

Therefore, the various feudal lords of the Edo period were collectively referred to as the "Three Hundred Lords"!

A small piece of land and three hundred princes?

This means that if there were a war between the princes, its scale would probably be similar to the village fights in the Song Dynasty.

The road wound along the jungle and mountains, and a team consisting of warriors, infantrymen and farmers moved forward.

This team consisted of approximately 3,000 people, 500 of whom were capable of fighting, and the rest were farmers from the vassal state.

A few light cavalry were leading the way.

The general leading this team was absent-minded.

His pale face had sunken eye sockets.

Compared to suffering on horseback, he preferred the geishas in the feudal domain.

If it weren't for the Shogun's order, why would he come here?

Isn't this forest too quiet?

There was not even the sound of birds singing.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

A sense of danger arose in my heart.

It was as if something suddenly gripped his heart, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

He reined in his horse and looked towards the forest.

He used to be a brave warrior who had experienced many battles, but since he was granted the fiefdom, he had power and fame.

His fighting spirit gradually faded, he became addicted to alcohol and sex, and was no longer as brave as he once was.

But his experience is still there.

So quiet!

He had walked through this forest before, where all kinds of small animals played around and flocks of birds flew by.

But now, there is not even any bird singing?

What scared them away?

There is an ambush!

"Back off, back off, back off!"

An urgent alarm bell rang in his heart and he ordered a retreat.

But, it's still too late.

Feng Boye and Lu Guanying, who were lying in ambush in the forest, discovered that they wanted to retreat and immediately ordered an attack.

Arrows shot out like rain, drawing high arcs and landing on the turning team.

shhhhhh!

The "Dragon Elephant Power" practiced by the [Divine Sword Guard], combined with strength-enhancing elixirs and the [Monkey Wine] for strengthening tendons and bones.

Let everyone have extraordinary strength.

Their bows and arrows are also special strong bows and powerful crossbows, which require three to five normal people to pull them apart.

Wherever the arrow goes.

Screams of pain immediately rang out one after another, some people fell to the ground, and some people wailed.

Blood flowers burst forth.

In an instant, a group of people fell down, and their blood dyed the ground red.

Feng Bo'e, wearing armor, rushed out first.

A large number of [Divine Sword Guards] followed him and killed them.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, the sharp energy of the sword split the charging light cavalry into two halves.

hiss!

The sound of inhaling rises and falls.
