"Haha...... Yamamoto Fifty-six, from today onwards Yuan Rui is your new master, and your mission is to protect Yuan Rui, understand?" Zhen Qian sat on the top and overlooked the Yamamoto Fifty-six Roads crawling on the ground.

"Yes! Owner. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six on the ground bowed his body slightly in the direction of Rui'er, who was held in Aoi Ji's arms, and said excitedly: "The retainer Yamamoto Fifty-six visits the young master and the master's mother!" ”

"Hmm!"

Aoi Ji's face was as usual, but it was difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart, although her father Shao Er Dongshang was a daimyo of Saikaido, and his mother Genji was one of the four major families of the Wa Kingdom, but his son wanted to become a famous lord, even if it was a small lord, it was extremely difficult, and now he suddenly became a daimyo of Saikaido, and Zhen Qian also won over some retainers for Rui'er, from this moment on, Rui'er's position was stable.

The retainers of the Wa State are very much like the subordinates of the princes during the Three Kingdoms period, and their loyalty is very high, and they are different from the tribes of the Tang Dynasty.

An ordinary famous lord has several retainers under him, and some super-powerful masters have dozens of retainers under him, and even several small famous masters, which is very similar to the sub-feudal system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

With the tacit approval of Shao Erdong Shang and Genji, Zhen Qian was also very happy in his heart, if his name is not right, he needs a name to control the Hizen country, which is very important when the strength is weak, especially in this era of the Japanese country, the name is extremely important, and the following offenses will be strongly rejected, Zhen Qian does not want to be an enemy of the entire Xikaido now.

"From today onwards, all the 8,000 conscripts in the territory of Hizen Country will become the army under Rui'er's name, and they will start to fight in the Quartet in the name of Rui'er, you ...... Fifty-six Yamamoto is the general of this army from now on! ”

"Thank you, Island Master!"

Zhen Qian converted all the co-subordinate troops in the entire Hizen country into the Hizen Army, with more than 8,000 people, and appointed Yamamoto Isoroku as the general of the Hizen Army, not worried that Yamamoto Isoroku would turn this army into a private army and threaten Rui'er's position.

Yamamoto Fifty-six also knows very well in his heart that this army nominally belongs to Rui'er, and he has complete control, but there are many Tang people in this army, and these Tang people will only obey Zhen Qian's orders, once he dares to have the slightest rebellion, he will be killed in the next second.

"Island master, now that the title of the young master has been decided, the plan to occupy Songpu City can also be executed!" Kong Ni couldn't help but speak.

Zhen Qian is not in a hurry, the current situation is that the Silla army has not completely withdrawn from Songpu City, leaving nearly 1,000 people to garrison, and these Silla troops are not afraid. However, more than 10,000 members of the Silla army had not yet returned to Silla, and the Japanese army in the port of Tangjin was still on alert, fearing that the Silla army would recur.

But the most important thing, and what Zhen Qian is most worried about, is that ...... after the war!

The pattern of the post-war Saikaido.

Once the Silla army withdrew from Sekaido, it would not only leave a vacuum of power and territory, but also the main battlefield for the struggle between various forces.

Fujiwara Nakamaro will not be willing to fail, and will definitely do everything possible to fight back, and the target is naturally the Japanese opposition. The opposition of the Japanese Kingdom is hiding behind the scenes, and it is difficult for Fujiwara Nakamaro to jump out directly, so the forces that support Fujiwara Nakamaro's faction will inevitably appear on the stage of Seikaido.

Judging from the current situation, Fujiwara Nakamaro has already laid out in advance, although he doesn't know what means Fujiwara Nakamaro will have, but Zhen Qian doesn't dare to take it lightly.

And at this time, Zhen Qian jumped out, and he was likely to be regarded as an opposition gang by Fujiwara Nakamaro, and at that time, it was a mystery whether Shao Erdong Shang would help him, and he was afraid that he would be pushed to the forefront.

Zhen Qian is not stupid, the gun shoots the first bird, and the tenon at the beginning is rotten first, he will not do this kind of stupid thing.

"From today on, no matter what kind of force the army dares to enter the Hizen country, it will be killed", Zhen Qian said to Yamamoto Fifty-six: "Before the situation is clear, don't expose Rui'er's identity first, and say to the outside world that Rui'er is the widow of a certain daimyo, and if it doesn't work, let Aoi Ji come forward to deal with ......." ”

Kwai Ji smiled like a flower, looked at Zhen Qian with affection, and hugged the baby in her arms tightly with both hands, her eyes were full of softness and joy.

"But ......", Kong Ni opened his mouth a few times, and swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, but his face was unwilling, his expression struggled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Island master, this will add a lot of twists and turns, why bother?" ”

Zhen Qian glanced at Kong Ni as if he didn't understand, and said: "The Feiqian Kingdom is the base for the southward expansion of the Wufeng Islands, and the stability of the Feiqian Kingdom is very important to the development of the Wufeng Islands, so put other things aside for the time being!" ”

Kong Ni nodded with a little understanding, "Island Master, are we going to use troops against the Ryukyu Islands?" ”

"That's right! It can't be put off any longer! ”

After Zhen Thirty-three occupied a small area of Qiumei Island, he was harassed by the local natives almost every month, although these natives could not help Zhen Thirty-three.

In addition, Zhen Shi has already gained a firm foothold in Keelung Port, and has the Si Islands as a springboard, every one or two months, many Datang refugees will be sent to Keelung Port, and now the population of Keelung Port has reached nearly 10,000 people, and the development speed will be faster and faster.

But Zhen Shi wanted to go south to occupy the entire island of Taiwan, and he couldn't help Zhen Thirty-three at all, so he could only turn to the Wufeng Islands for help.

The war between Silla and Wa also gave Zhen Qian a full understanding of what strategic space is.

If it weren't for the fact that Silla was targeting the entire Sekaido and sending 10,000 or 20,000 troops, the Goho Islands would have been beaten back to their prototypes, and there would not even be a place to escape.

Tanegashima and Yakushima are so close to the Saikaido that the only way to look around is to go south and occupy the entire Ryukyu Islands.

Zhen Qian thought about this problem for a long time, and found that one of his mistakes was not wrong, that is, he provoked the civil strife in Xikaidao prematurely. If the time of the civil strife in the Saikaido is two or three years later, it will be after he occupies the Ryukyu Islands, and he will have to run the Saikaido with all his might, and then he will not be as passive as he is now, and he will only dare to occupy one part of Hizen Province.

After Zhen Qian reflected, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to stir up civil strife in the Japanese, and turned his head to prepare to go south to occupy the entire Ryukyu Islands, and completely control the first island chain in his own hands.

"Within a month, we will organize 3,000 conscripts and 1,000 regular troops to attack Amami Island, and send 2,000 conscripts to Zhen 33 and Zhen 10 respectively, so that they can cooperate with this southward occupation of the Ryukyu Islands and occupy the entire main island ...... of the Ryukyu Islands within half a year."
