Ambassador Hou Dongfang summoned the captured civil officials individually, and he hoped to select some suitable officials for Prince Weikang.

As a result, some people were singled out, and they expressed their willingness to join the government of the great general.

Ambassador Hou Dongfang knew in his heart that no matter what the nationality was, there would be no shortage of speculative people, and this should not be excessively demanding------ as long as they could do their best to do their own work.

Ambassador Hou Dongfang now needs a battle to strengthen their confidence and strike a blow to those who remain loyal to the Hojo family.

However, Captain Guo Beyu began to calm down.

Captain Guo Beyu said helplessly: "I really don't understand, they have walked ten kilometers, and they have actually started to camp!" ”

Of course, Ambassador Hou Dongfang knew that there was no need to take the initiative, as long as they occupied this place, those daimyo who were loyal to the Hojo family would definitely take it back.

As long as they don't withdraw their troops on their own initiative.

What Captain Guo Beyu and Ambassador Hou Dongfang didn't know was that it was precisely because they connived at the behavior of those who fled in all directions that those who came to attack were extremely cautious.

The general who came from the west to quell the Kamakura pirate rebellion was Fujiwara Keishi, his third son, a member of the Kamakura shogunate, a famous military general, and the Kamakura shogunate's Zhenxi commissioner, who also served as the guardian of the "three first two islands".

At first, he heard that Iwami was a pirate rebellion in the country, which was said to have several thousand men.

While he was wondering, his eighty-year-old father, Shao Er, concluded that it must have been a Tatar disguise, and that he should not be underestimated.

When he heard this, he agreed, and immediately recruited samurai and ashigaru, prepared light and heavy cavalry, and sent messengers from all walks of life to contact the other daimyos.

When he had prepared 5,000 men and was about to set out, news came that Kamakura Castle had been attacked by the Rogushi Navy and that it might have fallen-------

General Fujiwara Keizi panicked at that time, and heard that the other party had tens of thousands of horses.

His old father, Shao Erzi, quietly suggested that he go directly to Kamakura Castle, and then do not rush to take the city, wait for the daimyo from all walks of life to come, and do not form a tactic of adding fuel to the battle, and strive for a successful blow.

At the same time, Shao Erzi Neng actually began to drape his whole body, he refused persuasion, and insisted on going to the battlefield at the same time as his son.

They mobilized all the forces they could, and finally reached a total of 15,000 troops!

As they marched, they received replies from other daimyos, all of whom said that they would send troops soon.

And I also know that Kyoto's guardian Hojo Somasa has also sent tens of thousands of horses, in addition, there are more than 20,000 people in total in the Higo guardian Andamune, Bungo's Otomo and the front-line troops.

Even more pleasing was the fact that Utsunomiya Sadatsuna, with about 60,000 samurai troops from the Chugoku region, would soon go to Kamakura Castle as reinforcements, but the preparation time would be longer.

After his son read the reply, he frowned and said:

"Why did the long-standing troops of Shimazu of Osumi and Hyuga propose to go to Iwami Province to suppress pirates? Didn't he know that it was the enemy's division of forces?! Kamakura Castle is the top priority, how can they be so confused!! ”

Fujiwara Keizo's lieutenant general, Otomo Yoritai, immediately said, "Let's send someone to join us!" ”

General Fujiwara Keizi said: "No need, their family is already too rich, and their courage is broken, they deliberately choose a weak enemy to fight------ presumably their future achievements will not be too great!" ”

Shao Erzi glanced at his son and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Later, on the way to the march, they intercepted a messenger claiming to deliver a letter, and when they found the letter, the three men were a little dizzy.

The seventh generation of the Great General of Zhengyi is back in power?

The Hojo family declared guilty?

It was indeed the general's official document and seal------ but he had already been set aside.

The point is that almost all of the Hojo family was arrested, which is simply an unacceptable fact!

The three men questioned the messenger earnestly, even asking him what he was eating for breakfast.

General Fujiwara Keiko sighed and said, "I will always be loyal to the Hojo Tokimune administration!" ”

Adjutant General Otomo Yoritai immediately said: "I am willing to follow the general-------"

Shao Erzi Neng fell into deep contemplation------ if he wanted to support the general of Seiyi to ascend to the throne, he would immediately kill the entire clan of Hojo Tokimune and his capable generals, so that the original loyal personnel were at a loss and had to accept the reality, but the messenger said that no prisoners were killed at all!

What does that mean?!

Oh, the young two can suddenly figure it out, they may want to use the Hojo family as a human shield, when we attack the city, they will push the human shield to the front, and use our hands to kill the Hojo family!!

"The messenger said that they had sent a lot of people to deliver official documents at the same time, and that the daimyos, guards, and generals must have known about it------ so I suggest that we camp twenty miles from Kamakura Castle and try to wait until the others have gathered before discussing the siege." ”

Admiral Fujiwara accepted his father's suggestion, and he and Vice Admiral Otomo Yoritai began to discuss the matter of the navy.

Shao Erzi Neng closed his eyes and fell into a meditative realm, he didn't care about the cause of this battle, nor did he care about how amazing the weapon of the Liuqiu Navy was.

At this age, life and death have already been seen through------- countless facts show that it is nothing more than the two armies meet, and the brave wins!

What they didn't know was that at this time, on the sea, the Japanese naval army general Takesaki Kicho was leading more than 300 customs ships, and more than 10 large lotus ships were heading towards Kamakura Wharf.

In the early days, pirates were always in the seas of Japan, and they often set up customs posts at key points on the seas and collected taxes from passing ships.

The ship is engaged in this kind of pirate mission to intercept ships, hence the name.

In order to demand the payment of the toll tax from passing ships, it was necessary to pursue ships, so Sekibune was designed to emphasize speed, and now, Sekibune is used as the main combat vessel.

This type of shut-off boat usually has 40 to 50 oars, and it has a sharp bow and an elongated hull.

The shield around the ship is not as thick as other ships, and it is often shielded with bamboo, and it has excellent mobility.

Of course, the Japanese naval general Takesaki Kicho heard that the Liuqiu Navy had a five-masted sea ship with holes in the ship, and a terrible weapon.

However, he is not afraid!

The enemy's ships are large and slow, so if you can approach them quickly, throw a rope hook or something on fire, you will catch the big ship or burn it!

There are more than 300 ships on the gates, and all of them have brave samurai, so as long as you fight in close combat, the enemy will be defeated!

The Dutch boat is a large ship that specializes in transporting troops or grain, and there are 200 oars on board.

At this time, the Japanese navy had not yet learned to use sails, so whenever the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty or the Liuqiu Navy came, they would attract countless pedestrians to watch on the docks.

However, this time there was an unexpected war------ Japanese naval army general Takesaki Kicho stood firmly on the bow of the ship, letting the sea breeze blow, and the sound of the navy's oars hitting the water was particularly rhythmic.

It's a pity that he wanted to learn the shipbuilding methods of the Great Song Dynasty or Liuqiu Island earlier------ but the Kamakura shogunate couldn't come up with this money at all.
