Shimonoseki, the customs road between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island.

In later generations, this is a place of complete humiliation in China, Li Hongzhang worked hard, and even took a shot, and the Qing Dynasty, which wiped out the Beiyang Naval Division, still paid a huge indemnity of 200 million taels of silver, but now, it is inconspicuous.

The Wa Kingdom is too closed, and there is only the time when the Daimyo make the Hajj every year, and it can be lively here, and there are no peasants who pass the customs in the rest of the time, and the Wa Kingdom is a relatively narrow and closed vassal country, and the peasants are firmly bound to the land by the feudal system, and the population flow here is less to make me feel pitiful, so that the Wa army guarding the pass on the other side of the sea yawns all day long.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Tokugawa family's three-leaf sunflower pattern was hung here, and the trees were scattered, and several retainers here betrayed the Mori family at this time.

Looking at the vast strait opposite, like a brick-like low horse Seki City, holding a fishing rod, the samurai in charge of guarding the pass couldn't help but yawn, and there was no fish to take the bait for a while, so he simply dragged the fishing rod and planned to turn around and leave.

But only two steps have been taken, the samurai carrying the fishing rod turned back in amazement, this Maguan seems to be a little wrong, in the past it was hung Kuroda family cake like a Tengba pattern, this is a pattern that has never been seen, below are paulownia leaves, above are three branch-like things.

Fortunately, this samurai has a little fine tradition, that is, if he doesn't understand, he asks, he doesn't want the fishing rod, and shouts as he runs, and he sneaks back to the fortress in one breath.

In about a moment, more than a hundred samurai, as well as two retainers of Zhixing walked out with big swords, as a small soldier, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the family crest, as a retainer, he can't write words, but he can't help but know the family crest, and after looking at it, he shouted incredibly.

"Sango Kiulowni, Toyotomi family!"

Almost as his voice fell, the entire Maguan City was boiling, to what extent there were so many people, in order to march the soldiers, the city wall was knocked down with a bang, and the mighty team carried the banner and rampaged.

And the cape, the huge fleet is like a prehistoric troll that shades the sun.

In the amazement of these retainers and warriors, in just ten minutes, the dense longships were tied together by chains, and hundreds of Dongjiang troops landed ashore as if no one was around, and on the edge of their Tuweizi manor, hundreds of pegs were laid in succession, and the chains that connected the longships were rigidly on the ground, and countless longships were connected from the other side of the strait to Kakushima, and then to this Honshu Island, and a cross-sea pontoon bridge was created alive.

When the Persians attacked Greece under the leadership of Xerxes and crossed the Strait of Perse, there were local Greeks who exclaimed in amazement: Zeus, why did you dress yourself up as a Persian, change your name to Xerxes, and then take the whole world to attack Greece?

It is estimated that several rebellious retainers of the Maori family are in this mood now, and they looked at it in a daze for a long time, until they watched the army like the torrent of steel rushing towards this end, and one of them suddenly realized that he was about to run backwards in a hurry.

"You must report to the shogunate quickly! The Toyotomi family is back! ”

But before he could run out, he was dragged back by another retainer.

"Yaga! You're crazy!"

"Why am I crazy, the Toyotomi family is invading, I have to report it quickly!"

"Ahu! Idiot! Hurry up and cut down the three-leaf sunflower on the top of the stockade and exchange it for a three-star flag with a text on the Maori family!"

It was like waking up from a dream, those samurai all ran, hurriedly turned back and put down the lonely shogunate flag, and then hung back the Maori flag that had just been put away, and the Shimazu family troops who were in the vanguard had just landed on the shore, and the most important pass guarding the strait was already lined up to welcome, with the Maori family's neck flag hanging on their backs, and the retainers who had just waved their hands nodded and bowed there.

"Taijun! Vali Walee, ally Smecta! Māori retainer Smecta!"

Glancing at the castle head that seemed to be wrong, the Shimazu family's flag samurai simply slapped him.

"His Royal Highness Taiko led the Kyushu army to aid the Maori family, and you will immediately lead the family warriors and go out with the army!"

"Hello!"

…………

Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru is really a bit of a cheat, Tokugawa Ieyasu first followed Oda Nobunaga, and then followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, fought for a lifetime, only to save a little money in his old age, and completed the Jedi overturn, not only him, which of the great names of the battle is not the same, the Maori family has struggled for more than sixty or seventy years, Oda Nobunaga has been fighting all his life, and Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, he is good, as soon as he debuted, he immediately had an army of more than 100,000.

On April 5th, Mao Jue led the Japanese and the Li family and the Dongjiang and other coalition forces to land smoothly in the Nagato country, and this number was like a snowball, more and more, learned that the Toyotomi family returned, in the Sekigahara War, such as the Changzong Ibe clan, the Uki family, the real Tian clan, the Kimura clan and other families of the ronin also flocked, in a short period of time, the army that really belonged to the Toyotomi family actually rose to about 20,000, although the chaotic ronin in Mao Jue's view, is completely a group of rabble, so it also has the taste of a strong individual.

It's just that every time Mao Jue is outnumbered, it's rare to make a big splash this time, but when the army arrived in Hagi City, Matsudaira Nobutsuna actually ran away, and he didn't even want the crippled Hagi City, this Matsudaira Nobuyuna is in the later generations, it is estimated that he must be a League of Legends master, because he knows that people are not even, and he can't play a group!

However, after this war, the Maori clan of the Southwest Domain was completely disabled, and completely lost the qualification to dominate the world, on April 10, Maori Xiu led the broken retainers, and personally knelt down to Hagi City ten miles to the south to welcome Mao Jue into the city.

Following Ishida Mitsunari, the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara was once again organized by Mao Jue.

However, the current war situation is still different from the time of the Great War of Sekigahara, at that time, it can be regarded as the retainers of the Toyotomi family themselves infighting, whether it is the Eastern Army or the Western Army, they are all equal, but now, even if it threatens the addition of the Kyushu Daimyo, Mao Jue is under the control, the nominal territory of the Toyotomi family is only about one-tenth of the entire Fuso Islands, and the remaining nine-tenths is still in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

Although he gave up on destroying the Mori family in one fell swoop, Matsudaira Nobutsuna did not retreat too far, and the Anyu country, which was located in the western country and was close to the Mori family, set up camp again, and at the same time issued a call for war to the entire Wa country.

The northernmost Michinoida family, the Kanto Plain densely packed with pro-feudal Daimyo Daimyos, Ikeda, Kato, Yamauchi, Fujido and other hundreds of thousands of stone daimyo also poured out their nests and raised troops, this time, the scale of the Eastern Army far exceeded the historical Battle of Sekigahara, estimated to be two or three hundred thousand.

"That's a lot!"

Mao Jue also made a death, learned from Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, personally went out to struggle, and lurked into the east mountain of Anyi Country with the cavalry, set up his cannon barrel binoculars, and at a glance, the lovely river that once belonged to the Maori family was actually full of soldiers and horses, and it was only a few days before the Dongjiang army arrived in Hagi City.

Looking at it, he couldn't help but shake his head dizzily.
