- Lake Biwa

Lake Biwa is the largest lake in the Wa Kingdom, with a total area of nearly 700 square kilometers, much larger than the Qiandao Lake in the Central Plains in later generations, as the most important water source of the Wa land, the economy here is also extremely developed, among the millions of people in the Wa Kingdom, nearly one million live in the cities around the lake, and this number will reach 14 million in the millennium.

A large army marched westward along Lake Biwa, the peasants on the road were afraid to hide on the side of the road, this army due to the number of people, the whole team before and after nearly a hundred miles, when the vanguard came to Jingshan to set up camp, the rear army just set off from the pass.

Regardless of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the most important thing in marching and fighting is logistics, thousands of people together, eating, drinking and Lazar are major events, and there are no trucks and trains in ancient logistics, and can only rely on ox carts or people's backs, the most commonly used method is to establish a military station every other distance, and then transport it to the front of the army in a ladder, and the logistics people who transport it back and forth are often several times that of the soldiers in front.

For example, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, and there was a record of 1,133,800 people, numbering 2 million, and its feeders were doubled.

Among the 100,000 troops in Baihe, there are actually only 30,000 or 40,000 real soldiers, and the rest are peasant soldiers, that is, peasants who have just taken up arms.

The young general of the Hei family, Taira Tadamori, who was chosen by Shirakawa as the vanguard, led five thousand light feet and five hundred samurai sent by various countries to repel three armies of Heiankyo along the way, and he was stationed at Kagamiyama at this time, waiting for Shirakawa to lead the main force to come.

"Zhongsheng, we have walked dozens of miles, and there are small groups of soldiers and horses in Heianjing along the way, and there are not even a few people from the Yuan family, let alone the Song people, is there any conspiracy here?" A samurai came running and asked.

Taira Tadashi wore a large armor, rode a war horse, held a katana in his hand, and said, "I heard that something happened in Heianjing, the Song people have already left, and the current Heiankyo is almost an empty city, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would not have sent troops, and the order will go down, everyone has a good rest tonight, and we must arrive at the dining house tomorrow, as long as we occupy the dining house and the nearby mountains and forests, we will win half of this battle." ”

"Dining place? It's more than 50 miles away, how can you get there on this day? The samurai stammered.

"Tonight, the third watch cooks, the fourth watch pulls out the camp, the road does not stop, it will definitely be reached, you dare not think about it, those people in Heianjing and the Yuan family dare not think even more, pass the order!"

"Hey!"

- Heiankyo

"Why don't you let the Song people come back." Toba looked at the ministers in a mess and said faithfully to Fujiwara, who had a black face.

Fujiwara Faithful immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, those Song people were finally driven away by us, and if you invite them back, it will be difficult for them to leave."

What's more, those Song people just left Heiankyo, and there were still stationed in the coastal countries of the Seto Inland Sea, and their so-called rural cooperatives were established more than 1,000 in a month, and many of the vassals of various countries could not leave their residences, and the government decree was even more incomprehensible.

In addition, although we only have a few thousand samurai and standing guards, the population around Heiankyo is prosperous, and both agricultural and wild samurai can quickly assemble, not to mention the 20,000 troops from various countries. ”

In the past month or so, Toba and Fujiwara faithfully used government decrees to send troops to the king, and Jiang De allowed all the troops and vassals of various countries who had been ordered.

After all, when these people are gone, the place will be more empty, and Lu Junyi and others will act better.

With the arrival of these people, the good things that the Pingyin army did in the local area were also known to the ministers of Heianjing, but because Heiankyo did not really establish political power, and the so-called local agricultural societies were all elective and autonomous, the Pingyin army did not appoint officials and collected taxes and fees, which made the ministers of Heiankyo say nothing to the Pingyin army.

But what these ministers didn't know was that the so-called rural cooperatives would change the entire ruling structure of the Wa state.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have already built a mountain fortress on Mt. Otowa and Mt. Omonji, and we have established a Honmaru on Mt. Ohonmaru, and we will definitely be able to keep the enemy out of the castle." Yuan Weiyi, as the main general, spoke.

"The words of the Yuan family are really reassuring." Fujiwara said with a smile.

The fact that Minamoto has betrayed Shirakawa has won the absolute trust of Fujiwara and Toba, and it is most reassuring to use him to fight.

——

In May of the first year of Xuanhe, the battle broke out in the main mountain of the Wa Kingdom, the total number of Toba troops in this war was 50,000, of which many ministers and ministers gathered more than 2,000 samurai, nearly 10,000 standing ashigaru, nearly 40,000 peasant soldiers, but because of the accumulation of many years in Heiankyo, the peasants and soldiers of the Toba Army also had bamboo armor to wear, and the arrow equipment was countless.

On the other hand, the White River Army has nearly 100,000 people, including nearly 5,000 monks, nearly 4,000 samurai, and more than 20,000 standing ashigaru, and the rest are peasant soldiers.

Mt. Daihonzan is the only mountain in the western part of the Yodogawa River in the lower reaches of Lake Biwa, and behind him are Mt. Otowa and Mt. Omonji. And after these two mountains is Heiankyo.

The Toba Army's formation revolves around these three mountains, and as long as the Shirakawa Army wants to cross the river, it must first take the main mountain.

There is a temple on the main mountain, called Ishiyama Temple, based on this, the source of righteousness expanded a military village that can accommodate 3,000 soldiers, and built a mountain that can accommodate five or six thousand people in Mt. Otowa and Mt. Omonji, and then arranged 10,000 people behind the mountain, ready to support at any time, and then ordered more than 3,000 people to hold the mountain passes in the south of Mt. Otowaba, these passes are all places that can not be opened, and 3,000 people are enough to resist the attack of tens of thousands of people.

When Taira Tadamori, who was ordered to be the vanguard, discovered that there were enemy troops on Dahonshan, he immediately set up camp and went down to the village, then collected boats, cut down trees, and waited for the army to arrive and began to cross the river.

On May 12, Shirakawa led the main force to the Yodo River, and Taira Tadashi began to lead the army to force the crossing, and a fierce battle broke out between the two armies.

In the next three days, the White River Army forced the crossing every day, almost every day killed and wounded hundreds of people, fifteen people, the White River Army forced the crossing again, the Toba Army rushed down from the Daben Mountain in accordance with the previous tactics to fight, and suddenly a large army appeared, killing the Daben Mountain from the south, the main force out of the Daben Mountain soon could not resist, it turned out that the Baihe Army was attracting attention a few days ago, a monk of thousands of people crossed the river in the shallow water downstream with the help of local monks, and then killed up, the Dabenshan cottage changed hands.

On 17 May, the Baihe Army began to storm Mt. Otowa and Mt. Omonji, and the two armies fought for days, one with strong military strength, one defended against danger, one with elite sergeants, and the other with sharp armaments.

- Concession

The war in Heiankyo not only did not make Settsu decay, but more prosperous, all the Japanese knew that there was a Pingyin army in Settsu, and no Japanese force dared to provoke it, this was the safest place in the entire Japanese country, even Fujiwara Faithful secretly sent people to buy a house in the concession, preparing to flee to the concession in case of an accident.

In the concession guard, Xu Guanzhong happily walked into a room with a stack of letters and said

"My lord, Heiankyo came to report, Toba and Shirakawa first fought in Dahonshan, and then fought in Otowa Mountain and Omonji Mountain, and the casualties on both sides have exceeded 10,000 people, and now the two armies are fighting back and forth between the two mountains, I am afraid that the winner will not be determined in ten days and half a month!"

Jiang De heard this and said, "Oh? With more than 10,000 dead and wounded, the victory over there is bigger? ”

"Naturally, it is the White River Army, the White River Army has 100,000 soldiers, and there are monks and soldiers and the Kwantung Samurai Regiment to help, many places in Kansai are secretly controlled by our army, although there are many weapons, but the strength is less than half, and there is a lack of good generals, the Genjia generals are lower than the Kwantung Samurai Corps in terms of quality and quantity." Xu Guanzhong sat down and said, "We in the Central Plains about the east out of the prime minister, Kansai out of the general, but in the country of the Japanese is the opposite, because of the economic prosperity, cultural prosperity, Kansai has always been a place where the ministers gather, but Kanto is a poor place, but how heroic and good at fighting, not to mention the white river is old and spicy, the bird feather is frivolous, it is difficult to beat its edge." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Mr. Xu has known a lot about the Japanese country over the years, our army has now mastered the towns and villages of more than ten countries around the Seto Inland Sea, and the logistics line has also been stabilized, it is time to wipe out these Japanese magnates!" ”

Xu Guanzhong sighed, "After several years of hard work, when it is finally time to harvest, as long as our army goes all the way to the sea, from Owari to Mino, all the way by land, and goes straight to Heianjing, then more than seventy percent of the samurai, ministers, and sergeants of the Wa Kingdom can be surrounded near Lake Biwa, as long as these people are eliminated, the upper echelons of the Wa Kingdom will be swept away, and then the troops will be divided to take all over the country, and in less than three months, the Wa Kingdom can be peaceful!" ”

Jiang De stood up and said, "Let's start acting, drumming and gathering generals!" ”

With the rumbling drums, one by one the generals and civil officials walked into the lobby.

Jiang De looked at the people below, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, what his father didn't do in another time and space because of the overall international situation, this time he was going to do it!

Among the generals and civil officials below are the Song people, the alien races of the Dry Leaf Island, the Koreans, and the Japanese people, but there are some East Asian ethnic unity.

"My lord! Everyone has arrived, and no one is absent! Xu Guanzhong looked at everyone, and then said.

Jiang De nodded and began to say, "Gentlemen, at this moment, outside Heian Jing, there are more than 100,000 troops fighting together, among these armies, there are more than seventy percent of the warriors and ministers of the Wa Kingdom, two Wa kings, one Guan Bai, and hundreds of generals, what do you think of this matter?" ”

A Japanese man came out and said, "My lord, this is a godsend, the Japanese government and the opposition have no sympathy for the peasants, only the trip to increase taxes, the people of the Japanese country are deeply affected by it, all hope that the heavens will descend to the sages to save the people, and now the adults are far away, divide the fields and reduce the endowment, and all the people hope that the adults can govern the Japanese country, and now the two kings are fighting with each other, trapping the people in fire and water, if the adults can send troops to suppress, the world is very fortunate!" ”

Jiang De looked at the man and saw that the man was nearly thirty years old, dressed in black, and looked like a civil official.

Xu Guanzhong knew that Jiang De was not very familiar with the Japanese people, and said softly, "This is the Japanese Kuroda Jingshan, who is an excellent person in the school, and now he is in charge of the tax affairs of the concession. ”

Jiang De nodded, and deliberately said, "Kuroda you are a Japanese people, your words must be the voice of the people of the Japanese country, the Japanese country up to the king of the Japanese king, Guan Bai, down to the minister, none of them have a heart of compassion for the people, the people of the Japanese country are hungry and cold in the wilderness, but the public secretary is intoxicated with poetry and Buddha, although we are foreign people, I also hear it is a tear, as the so-called king is based on benevolence and righteousness, what is benevolence and righteousness? Saving the people from fire and water is benevolence and righteousness, and I intend to send troops to fight against the two kings who are good at raising swords and soldiers and making the people in fire and water! It's just that we are all Gentiles, and we are jealous in our hearts..."

At that moment, another person came out and said, "The villain is a Japanese person, but I have also heard that the minister of the upper kingdom is better than the king of the lower country, and the adult is the marquis of the upper kingdom, and Goryeo is in charge, since the adult can govern for Goryeo, why can't he govern for the Japanese country, if the adult does not agree, the villain... The villain is dying on his knees! ”

As he spoke, several more Japanese people cried and shouted and fell to their knees, as if Jiang De did not send troops to govern the Japanese country, and the people of the Japanese country would not be able to see the sun next year.

Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong with admiration, in the past two years, he didn't know how Xu Guanzhong was brainwashed to let these widows do this.

In fact, Jiang De still didn't figure it out, the more powerful the alien race, the more afraid of others thinking that he had two hearts, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui in the late Ming Dynasty were models, even abroad, the same, when Locke was sent as the US ambassador to China, many people thought that Locke was of Chinese descent and would inevitably bring a lot of benefits to China, but what was the result? Whether he went to Xinjiang or Tibet, what this Chinese did told everyone that his country was the United States and his home was in Seattle.

There's never anything new under the sun.

Jiang De looked at everyone like this, and knew that it was almost over, so he said, "Okay, since this is the case, the destiny of heaven cannot be violated!" Mr. Xu, how do you think the troops will be dispatched in this battle? ”

This is Jiang De's glory to Xu Guanzhong, and in two years, it is time to give Xu Guanzhong a credit for destroying the country.

Many Japanese people also collected their tears and listened carefully to Xu Guanzhong's arrangement.
