Chapter 640: The Fuso War is over

According to the design of the Qin king, the Qin state did not have all kinds of industries, and all the citizens only had "ploughing and warfare", and the class division of China was transplanted to the Qin state, but there were only three classes there:

The upper echelons were the princes and commoners from the empire, who were the officers, officials, slave owners, and manor owners of the Qin State, in short, the core ruling class.

In a word, the nobility, only according to the system of ploughing and warfare, they were called soldiers.

The middle stratum were the conscripted outsiders, who were freedmen, burghers, and yeoman farmers, and these people were referred to as the people.

The lower class is the captured slaves, referred to as slaves.

Like the mother country of Huaxia, the Qin State also allowed class circulation, but the King of Qin only valued military merits, and those with military merits could be upgraded, and those who did not have it could not.

Should it be said that he is worthy of the King of Qin?

Learned Chinese people soon discovered that Xu Daixuan's policy, in addition to absorbing part of China's policy, was essentially born out of the ancient tyrannical Qin.

It may be invincible to use it to conquer the world, but if it is used to rule the world, I am afraid that there will be big problems.

But this is nothing, the Qin State is only a feudal state of China, even if his economy and management have problems, the empire has the strength to make up for him.

On May 20, Xu Daixuan led 500 guards and more than 1,000 volunteers recruited in the first generation of Hebei Province to leave Yanjing and march to Xijing.

At the end of the month, Wang Qinian led 600 horse thieves to join Xu Daixuan.

In addition to the troops, Wang Qinian also brought 3,000 horses, 600 camels, and 200 cattle.

Xu Daixuan immediately gave the thief a quota of 300 soldiers - the other 300 were Mugul, so they could only be regarded as people.

After the team arrived in Xijing, they stayed there for a while to replenish the volunteers in Shanxi, and then the imperial court gave each soldier a free slave - as Xu Daixuan wished, most of them were Fusang men, who could be used as auxiliaries.

If it stabilizes, it can also be used as a serf leader such as the head of the village.

It is said that there are only three classes, but in fact it can be subdivided into slave chiefs and slaves of slaves, and even slaves of slaves.

It's all possible.

After leaving Xijing, the team increased slightly, and arrived in Lanzhou at the end of June, where they joined the division with Zhe Keshi.

Zhe Keshi was already waiting for his own hundred soldiers to wait here, along with a thousand Tubo people who were from Waibo.

In July, the army led by the King of Qin arrived in Liangzhou and joined Zuo Helin, and then several major generals led a small number of personal troops to continue their advance, arriving in Guazhou before the end of July, and joined Xu Shizhen, the king of Ganding County, who was stationed here.

At this time, the large army was still slowly advancing in the rear, because the road was sparsely populated, and the supply was not smooth, and it was impossible for the army of tens of thousands of people to go as fast and unscrupulous as it did when it was in the core of the homeland.

However, it also gave Xu Daixuan more time to integrate the Outer Tibetan forces in the Western Regions and make some final preparations for the next expedition.

……

Just when Xu Daixuan, the king of Qin, was secretly poking at the idea of the Pars people west of the Green Mountains, Fusang, who was thousands of miles away in the East China Sea, and the war that had been silent for more than half a year finally broke out again.

It was the Fuso people themselves who rekindled the war.

Two forces led by the two generals of the former Oda family, Shiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie, first broke out into an internal war over who was Oda Nobunaga's successor.

At first, the two sides were inseparable, but then, non-Oda daimyo such as Hojo and Uesugi began to attack, flanking Shibata Katsuie.

This, in turn, forced the Tokugawa family, allies of the former Oda family, to consider Shiba Hideyoshi a traitor and form an alliance with Shibata Katsuie.

At the same time, Tokugawa also sent an envoy to contact the Huaxia people, hoping that the Huaxia people would join the war against Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Tokugawa made a condition that once Yushiba was destroyed, Fuso could be bounded by Azuchi Castle with Huaxia, and all the territories west of Wakasa, Omi, and Ise could be ceded to Huaxia, and Fuso would be returned to Fuso in the east.

Lin Chong politely sent Tokugawa's envoy out of the country, and he did not give Tokugawa any reply, but then, at the end of May 1793, the Fuso Expeditionary Force of the Chinese Empire launched an attack on the area controlled by the Yuchai Army.

It seemed that Lin Chong wanted to carry out Tokugawa's plan to jointly flank Yuchai, but after learning of the silent actions of the Chinese army, Tokugawa Ieyasu was frightened.

The Chinese army did not want to flank Hashiba Hideyoshi with the Shibata Katsu-Tokugawa coalition army, but to sweep away the local forces of Fuso!

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had this understanding, hurriedly shouted that he wanted to make a truce with Hideyoshi Hashiba, as well as Fuso daimyo such as Uesugi and Hojo, so that everyone could concentrate on resisting Huaxia together.

The idea was good, but the already red-eyed Fuso Daimyo didn't listen to him at all, and Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't have that much prestige at all.

However, because Tokugawa did not send troops to help Shibata Katsuie as agreed, Shibata Katsuie was completely defeated by Hashiba Hideyoshi in a key battle, and then committed suicide in his castle.

Another ally of Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Kazuyoshi, then surrendered to Hideyoshi Hashiba.

At this point, among the local daimyo of Fuso, the daimyo who had not yet allied with or been subjugated by Yushiba was left with only Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Fortunately, Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't have time to clean him up, and after solving Shibata Katsuya, Hashiba Hideyoshi immediately led the main force of the coalition army westward.

On the 6th day of July 1793, the Yushiba army fought a decisive battle near Azuchi Castle with the Chinese army attacking eastward.

In this battle, the Yuchai coalition army pieced together 150,000 people, while the Chinese army sent 100,000 troops (including foreign soldiers), and the Fusang people only had one and a half times the strength advantage, but they had to face more than 100 times the firepower advantage of the Chinese army.

From the very beginning, the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter, the Chinese army first bombarded the Fusang army formation with heavy artillery, and then the heavy cavalry guided the light cavalry, pouring in from the gap in the Fuso army's formation and outflanking the Fuso army.

At the critical moment, Yushiba Hideyoshi personally led his team to counterattack the Chinese cavalry, trying to block the breach.

He was not slow to react and could be regarded as an excellent general, but his soldiers were so poor that they were rushed and routed by the cuirassiers, and Hashiba Hideyoshi himself was killed on the battlefield and was picked up by a Waibo Sauron cavalry.

In the final stage of the battle, the Chinese infantry poured in to complete the overall encirclement of the Fusang army, and the Fusang army collapsed, but it was completely unable to escape from the encirclement of the Chinese army.

The Chinese army besieged the Fusang army overnight, and launched a final general attack at 9 a.m. on the seventh day of July, and the battle ended at about 11 a.m.

Of the 150,000 Hashiba troops, 41,000 died from Hashiba Hideyoshi himself, and the rest were all captured.

The Chinese army, which suffered minor losses, continued to attack, and the navy landed near Edo Bay on July 20, and then 8,000 marines and sailors ashore defeated the main force of the Hojo Army and occupied Sagami, Musashi, Kamiso, Shimoso, and Anbo.

At the beginning of August, Daimei Tokugawa Ieyasu surrendered to the Chinese army, and at the end of August, the head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, committed suicide.

In early September, the Chinese army occupied Ueno and immediately launched an offensive against Echigo.

Uesugi Keikatsu resisted desperately for 27 days, and at the end of September, Kaejo surrendered.

By November 1793, Lin Chong had taken full control of the island of Honshu with the help of the Fuso's own melee.
