Chapter 319. Prophetic vision?
It's not a familiar road, it's like a revisit, the familiar Iki Island, the familiar castle tower that was half destroyed by artillery fire, and there are short Japanese people carrying stones and wood on their backs to fill it.
Don't look at this is just an island, for the small territory of the Wa country, this is also a country of the order system, and it is also divided into two counties, Ishida and Iki, and twenty-four villages are also given to Inoue by Mao Jue, and he can be regarded as a unique "one country" on the daimyo.
This used to be the base of the Matsupu clan's sailors, it was originally a good port, when the Jiajing and Japanese were in turmoil, the Japanese of the Japanese country were from here, the last time they attacked, the port here was repaired by the Dongjiang Army with cement, and now it is maintained by the Inoue clan, so that the Dongjiang Fleet, which has traveled for six or seven days, is quite comfortable to dock, and the ship has been nesting for a long time, landing from the Black Pearl, Mao Jue himself can't help but stretch his waist greatly.
Although it belongs to the Inoue clan, the largest clan on the island is still the Hata clan, the ancestor of the later generations of the male and female gods of the house sister Hata, but the quality of the Hata family at this time and the Hata family in later generations is really poor scum, and the patriarch of the Hata clan who came out to greet him looks like a dry old radish, so that Mao Jue, who has eaten pickles on the boat for several days, has no appetite at a glance.
But even if Mao Jue doesn't have a good face, this guy still doesn't dare to be a little disrespectful, this is Ba! The tyrant left by the ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons knelt on the ground respectfully, and the old guy kept kowtowing to the overlord who had destroyed his island three times.
"Meet the Lord Dai, the villain has already prepared a meal in the island city, please move to eat!"
The food and noodles of the Wa Kingdom are all things that can be used to entertain VIPs, and after eating a few times, Mao Jue can't raise his appetite at all, not to mention that it took more than 20 days to hurry, and the time left for him to prepare for the war is less than ten days, Mao Jue waved his hand irritably.
"I won't go to eat! According to the law of the samurai, Iki Dao immediately supplied Wang Shi, and then sent an order to Inoue Fuji to prepare for him in Nagasaki!"
"Returning to the Great Commission, the lord is already waiting for your lord in Nagasaki Castle, not only the lord, but also Lord Yuan, Lord Mori, Lord Shimazu, Lord Ishida, and Lord Nabeshima have all arrived, and they are arranging troops in Nagasaki City."
"Yuan Chonghuan has arrived!"
This sentence really surprised Mao Jue, although the news brought to him by Luo Ning was a month and a half late, but in this era, it can be regarded as a frontier military situation, he rushed to this hurry, what he was afraid of was being caught off guard, Kyushu fell, so with the name of Kyushu as the main force, the Toyotomi regime, which had just been established for less than a year, would be in turmoil, how could I not expect that Yuan Chonghuan was really worthy of his reputation, since he had arrived in Nagasaki City, then the defense must also be carried out together, Mao Jue's heart, It can finally be put back in the stomach.
On the road next to the port, dozens of Japanese people carrying a large cylinder, are snorting and pushing to the other side of the island, and those carrying stones and wood to repair the fortress The team is even more long, according to the power of the Nagasaki Domain's 50,000 stones, Inoue Fuji really does not have this national strength, no wonder at this time to start repairing again, looking at this long procession, he couldn't help but nodded, and then he waved his hand, and the next order made the Hata clan ecstatic.
"The fleet stopped replenishing, lifted anchor, and headed straight for Nagasaki Castle!"
…………
It is really as Mao Jue expected, this end of Kyushu Island is also in a busy state of deployment, this end of the Dongjiang River is still working for spring ploughing, and this end has simply abandoned the fields, thousands of farmers abandoned the fields, and struggled to carry the stones to the sea, repairing the side walls.
Yuankou Fortification!
More than 300 years ago, he conquered most of East Asia, especially defeated the Southern Song Dynasty, and Kublai Khan, the master of the heavens and the earth, sent Shi Ji to Japan and ordered Japan to pay tribute.
As a result, the caliphs fell under the iron hooves of the Mongols, the Great Jin Song and Western Xia were wiped out one after another, the Roman emperors shrank in Constantinople and trembled, and the popes fought for the Sulu ingot banner to make the Japanese kingdom submit, Kublai Khan himself felt that he was too merciful, but the result was that the small Kamakura shogunate pushed out the envoys of the Great Yuan Emperor and cut them down.
As a result, the only foreign invasion in ancient Japanese history broke out, the furious Kublai Khan attacked Japan twice, the first time 25,000 to 35,000 people, in Hakata Bay had defeated more than 100,000 Japanese samurai, but because the supplies were exhausted, the retreat encountered a typhoon, and most of the troops were lost, and the frightened Kamakura shogunate Hojo Tokimune ordered the construction of this border wall around most of Kyushu.
Not to mention, the second Yuan army attack was even more menacing, Xindu led 900 warships on the north road, more than 40,000 Mongol, Jurchen, and Khitan troops, and 3,500 warships on the south road, with more than 100,000 troops.
It's just that the tactics of 1281 can be suitable for 1645, looking at the stone side wall that was about the same height when he fought the Osaka Sanzhi Formation, Mao Jue expressed his doubts.
After all, there is still half a day by sea, and when he arrives in Nagasaki, it is already evening, Mao Jue's row is still quite large, and he has just disembarked in the inner harbor, Yuan Chonghuan led more than 30 important ministers of the Toyotomi family and important daimyo to greet him together, and he bowed very solemnly.
"Meet the Great Commissioner!"
It's really similar to last year's time when the soldiers came to the Japanese country, the neat samurai armor soldiers also knelt with the military salute, and the greeting team of tens of thousands of people was particularly spectacular, but last time, those greeting guards were all samurai from other people's families, and now, everyone's neck flag is painted with three or five tong patterns, all of them are samurai of the Toyotomi family, in other words, they are all Mao Jue's subordinates, just like the British trained Indian soldiers, each column of samurai communities has a particularly tall officer benchmark standing there, all officers, all from the Dongjiang River!
Yuan Chonghuan really lives up to his reputation, indeed, even if Mao Jue is gone, Dongjiang still gives him great support, but even so, in less than a year, an empty shelf Toyotomi family, the thirty or forty thousand scattered ronin warriors who are similar to the ruffians in the bazaar, can be trained to this day, so that they can burst out with such spirit, especially Yuan Chonghuan is still organized as a foreigner.
After a long circle of sight in the queue, Mao Jue suddenly made a move: "Everyone, please get up!"
"Xie Da Dedication!"
The attitude of the daimyo and the retainers is very peculiar, last year's salute forced them to surrender to fear, this year it can be said that it has changed an attitude called awe, fear is mixed with admiration, indicating that whether it is Mao Jue or the lost Toyotomi family, they began to really get the hearts of the people of the Wa Kingdom, and the big guys began to adapt to the Toyotomi family, or Mao Jue's rule.
And the more than 10,000 guards didn't have so many curves, they just shouted neatly and sharply: "Thank you!" Again stood up in a neat formation.
Officers, or in the Wa State called Jun Cao, in their lame Wa language, stepping forward, these soldiers and horses were taken backwards, Yuan Chonghuan is really brought into the role now, he is also leading the way forward, while slightly respectfully invited.
"General, the lower official has set up a banquet, the general please!"
…………
To tell the truth, after eating canned radish and dried fish for half a month, Mao Jue was quite looking forward to Yuan Chonghuan's banquet, who knows, this product is actually following the customs, two fingers wide grilled fish, a bowl of tea and rice, a bowl of kelp miso soup, a few pieces of pickled radish, Mao Jue is eyes are dizzy, but Yuan Chonghuan is eating with relish, and he also learns those Dongying names, his body is straight, and he eats with a board and a glance, and Mao Jue is even more dizzy when he sees it.
Anyway, he didn't have much appetite, so he simply put down his chopsticks and asked about business.
"How did Lord Yuan gather troops here?"
Lao Tzu is all inside information arrived in a hurry, how do you know? And looking at this posture, it was earlier than Mao Jue knew! Not to mention Mao Jue, Adlerina, Wen Meng, Kong Youde and a large number of Dongjiang generals were all curious and looked over.
However, Lao Yuan swallowed a piece of pickled radish slowly, and then said with a glance.
"General Hui, you ordered His Excellency Inoue Fuji to form a water division, the Japanese water division is lacking, just some escaped to Zhoushan, the Matsuura Party ronin of the Ryukyus is willing to obtain the status of a samurai retainer, and the lower officials recruited them, originally planned to gather troops to attack the rebellious Tokugawa family after spring ploughing this year, but the ronin of the Ryukyus returned, the pirates of the South China Sea seem to have gathered to the north, and the Toyotomi Regent can only give the order of Kyushu Shou first!"
"Now the samurai of various families have gathered in Kyushu, and the number has reached 50,000, including 10,000 from the Toyotomi family, and the rest of the troops are gathering on the border Great Wall to guard against the Tokugawa family!"
"The general's Dongjiang cavalry team is also arranged on the border, and before the spring ploughing is completed, the Tokugawa family will not dare to use force with the Toyotomi family!"
There are already 50,000 people gathered here, although the combat power of the Japanese people is similar to that of the orcs in the Lord of the Rings, but there are also many people, plus the Kyushu defense outside has been opened, but I am not worried about being attacked by Zheng Zhilong, but Mao Jue, who had just vomited blood in Tieshan, was immediately vomited blood by Yuan Chonghuan's next words.
"General, in order to guard against pirates, Kyushu has requisitioned 100,000 peasants to build various customs and fortifications, assist in garrisoning, and waste spring ploughing.
Originally, if he started a war with Mao Wenlong, he couldn't plunder anything, Mao Jue had to make this first-level merit by himself, this Yuan Chonghuan's strategic vision was really good, however, as the saying goes, as soon as the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, according to his mobilization, the income of the West Kingdom this year will be reduced by more than half, and Mao Jue's expected income will naturally be reduced by more than half.
Sakhalin Island also belongs to the stage of spending money, and it costs money to form a new corps, and now the Wa Kingdom still has to spend money, and this eight years of Chongzhen is really a loser year!
