The renovation of Kyoto City is still knocking and beating, and the famous Rashomon Gate is only about a meter long, but the Kyoto street in Mao Jue's mind is already in its beginnings.

Built in the best location near the nine blocks where the Kujo family of the three families of the dignified Seki Seki family lived, just like the tourist attractions in later generations, densely packed with three streets, restaurants, hot spring inns, restaurants, green buildings, row upon row, many noble girls of the descendants of the princess and the Bee Suga family and the Akizuki family that were killed in the war in the north, and even some of the female dependents of the Kishu Tokugawa family were sent to it as maids and female slaves respectively.

Although it is no longer the season for the cherry blossoms to bloom, the elegant and mournful waka songs that line the streets are lined up with beautiful and mournful waka songs, and the most prosperous scenes of Heiankyo seem to be revealed.

And the first batch to take care of Mao Jue's business were his Dongjiang subordinates.

The harvest of this war is too big, the gold and silver add together no less than five or six million taels, and the grain is as much as two or three million stones, I don't know how many big families fell under Mao Jue's bayonet, hundreds of years of collection, all cheap him, these silver transported back also have to occupy a considerable amount of transportation costs on the Dongjiang River, anyway, this year's war can't be fought, Yuan Chonghuan's Great Wall has been built more than half, trained by the ronin and the retainers, the three hundred and twenty-two thousand people of the four banners of the Toyotomi family can almost form a combat effectiveness, Mao Jue simply changed the tradition, directly sent the silver bounty military salary.

With the expansion of the Dongjiang Army, there are not so many soldiers in the role of Mao Jue's father, son, and husband, but there are more and more bachelors, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, there is no long-term plan with silver, it just happens that Kyoto has such a golden cave, so it is simply spent, in the streets and alleys, the Dongjiang Army on vacation in turn has let Kyoto residents see what it means to spend money, those hot spring hotels are full every day, and the Japanese specialties are also bought. Everywhere, you can see Dongjiang soldiers holding cigarettes and holding kimono girls, and they are about to catch up with the US troops stationed in later generations.

Especially those newcomers from the Hamgyong Jurchen Army, the Dongjiang Horse Riding Team that has made great contributions this time, the Han people are still careful and know how to save some money for their families, but these nomadic people have never earned so much silver, a head is thirty taels, five is one hundred and fifty taels, and after getting the reward, they have no plans for the future, so they simply pushed it directly to the wine table, in the warm arms of the Japanese girls.

In the past two months, from September to October, the Dongjiang army, which can be called a loser, has almost scattered more than 800,000 taels of silver here, and more than 600,000 taels were given to Mao Jue, Yu Dacheng, Cao Xi, and the remaining 100,000 taels of leftovers were scattered to several big families in Kyoto.

The only thing that was complained about was that the food here was too unpalatable, and the shops of those Japanese people were almost half of them, and the officers and soldiers who came out on vacation either had to go back to the barracks hungry to eat, or actually went to a nearby temple to eat, and the monks made fried tofu, and vegetarian food was better than the restaurants and restaurants under the samurai, but it also reminded Mao Jue that if you want to create a Japanese tourism, there is a long way to go! First of all, you have to satisfy the mouths of rich businessmen who don't get tired of eating, and if you want to capture a man's heart, you have to grab their stomach first!

Driven by profits, the country really began to change, and in the vicinity of Kyoto, the number of farmers raising chickens and geese began to increase, and even pigs, which had been extinct since Prince Shotoku's mercy decree a thousand years ago, reappeared in the farmers' yards, because the Dongjiang lords were willing to eat something called pork stewed vermicelli.

It's just that the fierce sparks produced by the collision of the two civilizations and economies began to fall heavily in Kyoto in October, and slowly calmed down.

The Dongjiang Army began to slowly withdraw its troops.

Don't look at this year, Mao Jue's Dongjiang army is invincible, in fact, this is a considerable military adventure for him, all the main forces of the Dongjiang army are transferred eastward, and all the guards are second-line corps, and some places are patrolling with boy soldiers. Although in recent years, even the peasants and soldiers of the second-line corps have only been stronger than those in the Mao Wenlong era, but the things they have to protect are also more complicated and difficult than those in the Mao Wenlong era, I don't know how many times.

Before Mao Jue was not in charge, there was only one Phi Island in the Dongjiang River, and if Jiannu wanted to go eastward, it was a big deal to hide on the island, and it was Li's North Korea that carried the main military pressure, but now, the border belt between Houjin and Li's North Korea was as long as an earthworm, which completely belonged to the Dongjiang River, and it was also Mao Jue's hard work, the pride of the Dongjiang people was enough to pay their lives to protect the place.

In October, the border market on the Yalu River began to flourish again, many Mongolians, Jurchens with bulging pockets, came to the border market again to start exchanging silver and wine, which marked the conquest of Mongolia, and entered Koushanxi, and the Ming Dynasty operated for more than 200 years like a three-sided paper like a broken Eight Banners Army, returned to Liaodong.

Then the corresponding alignment, Mao Jue also has to return to defend, and although Jin will go to the Mongolian Alliance after next year, there will be no more such a big move this year, which means that next year Mao Jue will also have to return to the situation of small fights, and it is impossible to put all his strength into the battlefield of the Japanese State like this year.

The snow was very thick, and after several heavy snowfalls, the entire Kyoto field was covered with snow as if it were one layer higher, and when Dongjiang's leather boots stepped into it, they immediately sank into the ankle bone, and the snow creaked under the boots.

No wonder the power of the Wa Kingdom is so completely feudal, it is already mountainous and rugged, and then it is so heavy that the snow covers the mountains, the Toyotomi family has directly lost contact with many lower territories, and the communication with the Maori family has become extremely difficult, if you want to recover, you have to wait until March of the next year, most of the year is not under control, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, the territory under direct control is only 266 stones, this reason is easy to understand, it is really not controllable.

This geographical gap has been pushed to a new political peak this year, and Kyoto was originally chosen here because it is one of the main islands of Honshu, and Wakasa and Omi can connect the two countries, but now, a long and dark wall separates the island of Honshu out of thin air, completely dividing the east and west.

Although some of the people were transferred to Kyoto by Mao Jue to build a new Chiyoda Economic Zone for him, before the snow fell, the Great Wall of the Wa Kingdom designed by Yuan Chonghuan was completed, and it was smashed out by the reinforced concrete of the Dongjiang River that crossed the sea at any cost.

In appearance, this Great Wall is very similar to the Hadrian's Wall in ancient Rome, four meters wide, five meters high, there is an arrow tower every tens of meters, on which the iron cannon and the big barrel of the Japanese country are placed, this half a year, some of the old cannons eliminated by the Dongjiang River have also been transported over one after another, facing the east side can see the old naval guns directly on the naval gun base, pointing to the direction of the Kanto, a thick layer of snow cover fell on the gun jacket, frozen and shivering, wearing the robes of the upper feudal warriors trembling with a sweep to sweep the snow fiercely, As soon as he saw that he was clean, he rushed back to the watchtower of the garrison at great speed, and shrank in front of the hearth of the fire.

I have to admit that the people of this era are really frost-resistant, Mao Jue is wrapped in a mink coat, which is a thick cotton armor, and he still feels cold, which is almost more than 30 degrees below zero, these Japanese warriors are still wearing the same as summer, but the armor is stuffed with an extra layer of straw and it is so hard to resist, which even Mao Jue can't help but admire.

Mao Jue tried his best to win over Yuan Chonghuan who came out of the mountain five times, and it also came in handy here, under Mao Jue's command, there are really few talents, especially the handsome talents who stand alone, it can be said that there is no, Shen Shikui, Kong Youde and other Dongjiang generals are more than fierce, and the strategy is insufficient, Song Xiance is a character, but he is also similar to Mao Sui in Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and he is a talent who plays a three-inch tongue, and he will be finished on the battlefield, governing the place and balancing the forces is also very general, if Mao Jue is gone, It is difficult for these two melons and jujubes to maintain the situation in the western country, in Kuroda Tadayuki, who is full of heart, is not a good Maori showman, and is obsessed with repairing the clock, but he doesn't know how to think about it, and the entire Dongjiang River, except for Mao Jue himself, seems to be the only Yuan Chonghuan who can control the overall situation with reassurance.

He is really worthy of Mao Jue's trust, and while walking on the fortress, he is still quite self-satisfied.

"The Toyotomi family's four banner legions, except for the first army stationed in Osaka Castle, one defended Wakasa, and the remaining two are all here, plus the forces of the Maori family and the Shimazu family, the entire Omi defense line is impregnable! With this line of defense, coupled with the firearms transported by the Dongjiang River, even if the Tokugawa family's 100,000 troops attack, they will not be able to move Kyoto at all!"

The core of Yuan Chonghuan's five-year plan to level Liao is the artillery castle tactic, the field battle is not the opponent of the Qing army, but the Ming army can rely on the vast land and resources, step by step along the Liao River to build a castle and push it over, and finally rely on the stacks of fortresses to squeeze the Houjin who is not good at attacking the city back to the Heilongjiang River basin, forcing it to surrender, but unfortunately, this plan ended in failure at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no chance to carry it out.

Now it is used on the Japanese people, so that Yuan Chonghuan always has a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

It's no wonder that the Wa Kingdom is rampant, and the love of the people is popular, passing by the arrow tower of the garrison, covered with sheets, a large group of big men and warriors hugging each other around the fire to keep warm, the flesh is close to the flesh, a large group of brothers and nobles are hot and ambiguous, and the future generations can make small movies, Adriana, who is a bit of a rotten girl, has beautiful eyes that shine, walking in front, and Mao Jue is straight goosebumps.

subconsciously quickened his pace, and while walking, he also hurriedly admonished Yuan Chonghuan.

"The Dongjiang Cavalry Team and Liu Xingqi's Assault Cavalry Regiment, I will leave them for you, and place them in Liuboluo, if there is any emergency, you can use this force to quickly suppress it!"

"Rest assured!"

Saying this, Yuan Chonghuan was a little impatient, and as soon as he walked out of the arrow tower, he was lying on top of the fortress again, stretching out his hand and pointing forward.

"There will be no emergencies this year!"

The defeat of the Osaka Sanjin was undoubtedly devastating for the Tokugawa shogunate, but what really made the shogunate feel painful was the knife that Inaba Masakatsu sent to the door to let Mao Jue slaughter, and the indemnity of more than 6 million stone rice grains hollowed out the Kanto Plain, which had already suffered heavy losses.

In the direction of Yuan Chonghuan's finger, a line of small black dots is trekking hard to the Great Wall of Fusang, and during the march, there are still people who fall to the ground, and they can't get up anymore, but they finally climb to a mile near the Great Wall, and what awaits them is not rescue, but the vicious horseback warriors and cold rope nooses, just like that, more than a dozen people were brought back like cattle, and were imprisoned in the prison under the fortress arrow tower.

Even if they survive this winter here, these refugees from Kanto will not end well, and the biggest possibility is to sell them to the west as slaves, but even so, there is still an endless stream of refugees from the east who have fled in this way, and the civil famine has entered here, what else will Tokugawa Iemitsu take to fight against the Toyotomi family in the west?

"The unexpected situation I am talking about does not necessarily come from that side!"

Retracting his gaze, Mao Jue's gaze fell behind him, standing on Chengtou Mountain, and he could vaguely catch a glimpse of the sparks in Kyoto City on the opposite side of Lake Biwa.

The biggest enemy is never wearing different armor from you, facing you desperately, the knife from behind is often the most deadly, under the Jingshi City, Yuan Chonghuan, who was taken down in a bloody battle, has a particularly profound experience of this.

After a few seconds of silence, Lao Yuan coughed lightly.

"The former governor of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Tsunata, who recently retired, was very deferential to the Toyotomi family, and the Shimazu family also lacked a branch head in front of the Bizen! There is also the Kuroda family, the distribution of Sanki's knowledge and action, it seems that it is not so satisfying, and many people have complained to Richo, and as for the Mori family, the jewelry box that Mori Shu gave to Chiyohime-sama was thrown directly into the toilet by her, and it has become a joke in Kyoto......"

When Yuan Chonghuan just blew down the cattle that could be leveled for five years, he immediately encountered the Guangning Mutiny, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of soldiers and food for soldiers, also dropped the chain at the critical moment, let Yuan Chonghuan solve it by himself, but the old Yuan was stunned and didn't bring a tael of silver, and talked about feelings and righteousness with those mutinous troops, and suppressed this huge mutiny bomb, and finally cut off the heads of several leaders who made mutinies.

Every sentence seems to be gossip and miscellaneous news, but Mao Jue, who listened to it, couldn't help but nod again and again, it was really the right choice to support Lao Yuan to come out of the mountain again, for the Fengchen family in the West Country when he was not there, Mao Jue was also completely relieved, this Yuan Chonghuan had not finished speaking, he suddenly patted Lao Yuan on the shoulder, just like when Dongjiang, Yuan Chonghuan was still the governor of Liaodong, and he patted himself a little Tie Yiqian.

"Mr. Yuan, you are also a big man now, everyone around you can't accompany you, next time you come back, Mao will bring your sister-in-law with you, and in Arashiyama, Kyoto, Mao also built a separate hot spring annex, the scenery there is not comparable to the hostel that receives those laymen in Kyoto City, Chiyohime should like it! Mao also reserved a room for Mr. Yuan!"

Withdrawing the hand on his shoulder, laughing, and following the escalator of the arrow tower on this side, Mao Jue actually walked straight down wrapped in a coat, and this inspection of the defense line came to an abrupt end like a tiger's tail. But when he heard these words in Yuan Chonghuan's ears, it was like the howling cold wind on the watchtower, which made his face wrinkled a little by the cold wind, revealing an extremely complicated expression.

There is gratitude, appreciation, and endless sorrow and distress......

On March 3 in early spring, the Dongjiang army gathered in Nagasaki like a swallow coming in spring, and on October 7 in winter, the mighty Dongjiang fleet gathered here again like a turning migratory bird.

Full of thick luggage and honor, the busy Dongjiang soldiers landed on the ship in an orderly manner with heating, and looked at the other side of the sea yearning with a return like an arrow.

In the captain's room of the Black Pearl, Mao Jue's eyes were followed by the frosty glass window, and he kept looking at Nagasaki Castle with a low stern.

"That's the last thing!"
