Chapter 770: Take Hokkaido
Huang Sheng looked at the Zheng family brothers and said: "The long-cherished wish of your fathers back then, today it is up to you to complete it, and taking the Wa Kingdom is the ultimate goal, but it cannot be achieved overnight, don't be in a hurry, starting from the seizure of Ezo Land, every time you take an island of the Wa Kingdom, it will be operated to become a supply ground, and the Wa State will be defeated." ”
Zheng Yiguan's wife is Tagawa Matsu, the daughter of Emperor Tagawa Yu, a minister of the Hirado Domain, and Zheng Sen and Tagawa Nanazaemon both have Wa ancestry, and of course they can speak Wa language and understand the customs and customs of Wa State.
Zheng Sen was excited when he heard the words of King Nan revealing that he wanted to completely seize the Wa Kingdom, which was the place where his father coveted! But he is also very sober, although the Wa State is not big, it is not easy to provoke, and Meng Yuan, who was a poor soldier in history, has been deflated in the Wa State.
His father followed Yan Siqi to plot a rebellion, just to fantasize about winning the Japanese kingdom and achieving hegemony, but unfortunately he didn't succeed and almost lost his life.
He saluted and said: "Your Highness, the little one who is familiar with the geography of the Japanese kingdom is proficient in the Japanese language, and is willing to seize the Japanese kingdom for the sake of the advance, and he will definitely live up to his mission." ”
Zheng Sen is the heir of Zheng Yiguan's internal designation and the chief general of the northbound fleet, and it is simple for him to clarify his attitude and willingness to attack the Wa Kingdom.
Huang Sheng signaled to Li Guozhu, and Li Guozhu explained the plan and plan he had just discussed.
The first time he had face-to-face contact with Huang Sheng to talk about the arrangement of troops, Zheng Sen felt convinced, "Nanming" was strong, but Huang Sheng, the lord of the country, was not arrogant or impatient, and arranged to take a step-by-step encroachment strategy to make his own side invincible.
Of course, Zheng Sen knew that the strength of the shogunate army in Ezo was limited, and Ezo was even poorer and backwarder due to the long-term exploitation, oppression, and blockade of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Ezo's equipment is poor, and there are not many iron weapons, and its combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, and the Zheng family cooperated with Li Guozhu to take down the base camp there.
Moreover, Ezo has not been completely assimilated by the Japanese people, and there is no concept of a state at all, and after landing and gaining a firm foothold, they will see immediate results by adopting the "Nanming" ethnic policy to de-sinicize, and presumably Ezo, who has obtained tangible benefits, will have less resistance.
With common interests, the three parties hit it off, and Li Guozhu happily became the main general, in addition to his own more than 200 warships, armed merchant ships, and Zheng Sen's small 200 ships, there were no less than 10,000 smoothbore gunners who could land and fight.
Li Guozhu and Zheng Sen are going to join forces to take Hokkaido and occupy it forever for a long time, but of course it is not the name at all now, it belongs to Ezo Land.
"Nanming" did not need to send troops to participate in the attack on Hokkaido, but only needed to provide some weapons and supplies to the Li and Zheng coalition forces, of course, Li Guozhu and Zheng Sen did not fancy weapons and materials the most, but the canonization that they would receive.
Huang Sheng promised that after the Li and Zheng combined forces successfully captured Hokkaido, Li Guozhu would be canonized as a first-class Beihai Bo, and he would take the official position of the fourth rank of Beihai Prefecture to participate in the governance of the island with an area of about 80,000 square kilometers renamed Beihai Province.
Zheng Yiguan will get rid of the pirate and thief name and give the honor of "Beihai General", and Zheng Sen, the chief general who participated in the battle, will be canonized, and he will be awarded the title of "Beihai Battalion" guerrilla general.
Ezo is a vast and sparsely populated area, and the shogunate army has been repeatedly attacked by the rioting Ezo, and now it is impossible to control it at all, and it is not challenging for the two armies of Li Guozhu and Zheng Sen to join forces to seize it.
However, it is a little difficult to keep this place stable for a long time, without him, the population is insufficient, and it is not overnight that Ezo barbarism does not obey Wanghua and wants to tame it.
Li Guozhu and Zheng Yiguan both ran to the Japanese country to make a fortune, and they had constant contacts with the daimyo from all over the country, and they knew too much about the geography and folk customs of the Japanese country.
In recent years, Li Guozhu and the "Huaxia Navy" have joined forces to continuously weaken the strength of the Admiral Zhengyi, and also supported Amakusa Toshisada in the Shimabara area for armed secession.
The Japanese country is now a country of swords, taking this opportunity to take the Ezo land, the general of the Japanese country must have no time to take care of him, but how can we digest this place, how can we be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time?
Li Guozhu honestly had a word in front of Huang Sheng, he made his concerns clear, and asked the king of the south how to arrange it after occupying Ezo.
The reason why Huang Sheng chose to take the island of Hokkaido was because he had to consider the population balance between Liaodong and Korea after the war, and people of Jiannu descent might not be able to kill them cleanly.
Those who surrendered voluntarily still had to leave them a way out, and it was more than enough for some of the Kennu, Tatar, and Goryeo Aha armies to come to Hokkaido to deal with Ezo, and the immigrants would settle here with their small families, and the initial population problem would be solved.
Li Guozhu and Zheng Yiguan also had many Han Ming immigrants here, and the Hokkaido region was colonized by the Han people-led armor protection model.
Strictly adopt the "Nanming" ethnic policy to manage the society, and in just 20 years, the entire Ezo will be completely transformed into the "Beihai Prefecture" with the Han nationality as the main body.
Huang Sheng explained the next plan and plan, Li Guozhu and Zheng Sen and others suddenly realized that the king of Nan did not take the Qing army that was about to face off seriously at all, and was already thinking about finding a way for the prisoners and the surrender army.
These former pirates knew that after this battle, everyone would be whitewashed, and in the future, they would become "Nanming" civil officials and military generals who went home to worship their ancestors, and everyone knelt down to express their attitude, and they did not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood for the great cause of "Nanming" unification.
Huang Shengle asked everyone to get up, and said meaningfully to the leaders of the Zheng family: "After you go to Beihai to take that island, will you be content with the status quo?" How many islands are there in the Wa Kingdom? The Japanese people have been subdued into kings, they admire the Han civilization, and it should not be difficult to transform the Japanese people into obedient people, right? ”
Zheng Yiguan's group has used a lot of ronins, these people's force value and loyalty are impeccable, their discipline is no problem, and they have no complaints about following the Zheng family to fight in the Indian Ocean.
King Nan nodded slightly, and Zheng Sen, who had great ambitions, immediately understood, and he was excited for a while, knowing that it was possible that in the near future, he would have the opportunity to conquer the entire Wa Kingdom and get millions of people.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Tagawa Shichizaemon is a Japanese national pass, he is the adopted son of Zheng Yiguan to the Tagawa family, and he has always had a mustard in his heart, thinking that a good Han person can't do it, and it is really a shame to be a Japanese cole.
The promise of the king of the south to give the Zheng family the status of a pirate and hinting that he could seek the entire Wa kingdom on the premise of obtaining the Ezo land as a foothold made this kid inexplicably excited.
Tagawa Nanzaemon knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the South, the kid is familiar with the customs and customs of the Japanese Kingdom, knows that the Japanese people yearn for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, and also knows that the Tokugawa Shogunate is called the Minister of the Japanese State is actually a thief of the Japanese Kingdom, and that is equivalent to Cao Cao who coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven at the end of the Han Dynasty. I'm 'Nanming' to attack the Tokugawa shogunate, and I must be a great helper of the enlightened! ”
A young man dressed as a widow talked eloquently in the standard Huang family's official dialect, and also quoted scriptures in crepe, which was very eye-catching.
