"It's time to run for the Oscars!" was so calculated by a little girl, Lian Zining thought about it with hatred, and the little guilt about occupying Hizen Port disappeared immediately.

The expedition is about to begin, and the rear of the Hizen Port can not have an accident, and the management office has been given such great power, so it is natural to restrain it.

The first method is differentiation.

The officials of the administration office, among whom were the Francophiles, the Dutch, the Ming and the Fuso, were naturally divided into four factions according to their geography and ethnicity. Although Yu Jingguan was the secretary and the first person in charge, it was impossible for him to monopolize power, and if he offended the merchants of other countries in order to maintain the power of the merchants of the Ming Kingdom, it would cause unanimous opposition. In short, he can't be allowed to cover the sky with one hand.

The second is the right to garrison troops.

People who grew up in the Celestial Empire are no strangers to these three words. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and with an army, there is everything.

Lian Zining drew four pikemen from the 3,000th household of the infantry army and one halberd soldier of the hundred households to be stationed here, one as a force for public security defense, and the other as a force for monitoring and managing the office, so that they did not dare to act arbitrarily. After all, businessmen are the least sympathetic group in this era, and they can sell everything for profit.

This is a permanent garrison and not a temporary station, and Lian Zining plans to let them stay here after returning home, after all, Hizen Port is a big hen that lays golden eggs.

The person in charge of the strength of these five hundred households is a deputy thousand households of the 3,000th household of the infantry army, named Chen Yu, who is as his name suggests, a young man who looks very delicate and civil, and is also a veteran of the Ningchen Zizi Institute at the beginning. His surname and name are just the opposite, just burst violently, when he was fighting in the white robe, there were at least ten people in the white robe army who died under him! Later, when he encircled and suppressed bandits in Shandong, he hated him the most, and almost left no room for life.

Because his entire family died at the hands of the original White Lotus Sect mob, his three brothers and two sisters were all thrown onto the steamer by the White Lotus Sect mob and steamed to death!

For him, Lian Zining is absolutely relieved, if even such an old brother betrays, then there is really nothing to say.

The word loyalty and righteousness are heavier than Mount Tai, but they are not as worthless as later generations.

Before you set out, you have to pay respects!

"Wine!" Lian Zining said in a deep voice.

The soldiers in the back brought a tray with three glasses of wine on it.

One cup to the heavens, one cup to the ground, and one cup to the brothers who died in battle.

"Brothers, you died for my Lian Zining, and I, Lian Zining, will definitely not treat you badly! Your wives and children, I will feed you, and you will open your eyes under the nine springs, look at me, and stare at me! There are not too many flowery words, only the most real and deep feelings: "Brothers, go all the way!" ”

After that, he beckoned, and a wooden box was sent from behind, and three heads were taken out from it, which were Goto Cunxuan, Goto Katsushige, and Goto Qingchi.

These three heads have been nitrated, and their faces are like life, and they look very hideous, and the Fuso people at this time all believe in Shintoism, and they value the integrity of the human body the most, because they believe that if a person's head is cut off, the soul will never be able to return to its homeland.

Lian Zining placed the three heads in front of the spirit, slowly retreated, lifted the front swing of the official uniform, and knelt down in the mud on the ground. Behind him, three thousand soldiers knelt down together, their foreheads slammed down, splashing muddy water.

"Brethren! Let's go! Lian Zining shouted, and the soldiers behind him shouted together: "Brothers, let's go!" ”

Before the sonic boom, the businessmen around were all shocked.

Then many soldiers came out of the queue, covered the coffin with snow-white white silk, and in a group of eight people, lifted the coffin, and slowly walked towards the big ship.

The corpses of Chinese soldiers, Lian Zining will not let them be buried in this land.

After the memorial service was completed, the armies, under the leadership of their own commanders, marched to the east, more than 100 miles east from Hizen Port, to Chikugo, where was their new battlefield.

Yu Jingguan and the others said goodbye, and Lian Zining and a group of dragoons got on the horse, and at this time, a carriage came in a hurry.

The door curtain was lifted, and two ordinary-looking little girls walked down, walked over and said to Lian Zining: "Master, Miss, please come over and talk." ”

Lian Zining couldn't help but smile bitterly, the tragedy of the battle to seize the door, I wanted to hide it from Cheng Yu, but after all, I didn't hide it, because of this matter, Cheng Yu didn't talk to him these days, and the two were in a state of cold war at this time. His heart is warm, his own sister, after all, he cherishes his own family.

Lien's chaebol also set up a branch here, opened many stores, and sold some of its goods. In fact, the Lien chaebol is not only doing business, but also responsible for the connection between Hizen Port and Lien Zining in China, for example, the annual tax silver and some local products have to be transported back with the Lien chaebol's big ship. Lian Zining plans to build a few big ships through Zhang Yanchang's connections after he goes back, and run a lucrative marine business.

Since the war did not stop, there were not too many troops to escort them, so the business of the Lien chaebol was put aside for the time being, and after the battle, it was shipped to other vassal states.

When he opened the sedan curtain, he saw Cheng Yu's cold little face, and his speech was also cold: "Brother, this is the last time I will talk about you, I won't say anything about you in the future!" Your current life is not your own, have you thought about it, if you have three longs and two shorts, how many people will not survive? ”

After that, he lowered the curtain and beckoned the two little girls to leave.

Lian Zining only smiled bitterly. How could he not know the truth that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall? In his previous life, he had a fear of heights, so he wouldn't even go to the window of a high-rise building, so he was very cautious. He also knows that he is the commander of an army, and his life is more valuable, but sometimes, the situation is not something he can decide!

sighed, then explained a few words to Chen Yu on the side and the officers who stayed behind, and turned to Kang Lu and said, "Brother Kang, please here!" ”

Kang Lu Shicai has been standing aside, watching all this, Wu Yijun's unity, and Lian Zining's attitude also made him quite embarrassed. Hearing this, he hurriedly arched his hand: "Even the adults are light, this fat front port, this official must be impregnable!" ”

Lian Zining bowed: "Thank you for that!" ”

Kang Lu's thousand people won't do it anyway, and it's useless to bring it, it's better to stay here, five hundred Wu Yi troops, one thousand Shou Ning Hou Mansion soldiers, plus the strong bows and giant crossbows and other facilities on those big ships, it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable.

Lian Zining glanced around, and with a dozen horses, dozens of knights headed east.

—————— dividing line—————— the topography of the entire four islands of Fuso can be described in one word - mountainous. Mountains are everywhere, occupying two-thirds of the already small islands, leaving only a paltry amount of arable land and plains. In such a small place, volcanic earthquakes are still frequent, so it can be said that this may be due to the trembling amplitude of ejaculation and was ejaculated into a string of sperm in the Pacific Ocean, and the living environment is extremely harsh, and the living conditions are very poor.

But just such a little bit of the ground has given birth to a deformed civilization based on the variants of Chinese civilization, feeding a population of more than 20 million people - it is simply incredible, in this era, under this level of productivity, you must know that the territory of the Ming Dynasty in this era exceeded that of Fusang by 40 times, and it only fed more than 90 million people. Although the official data is not trustworthy, the total population of the Ming Dynasty cannot exceed 200 million.

Except for Ezo Island, which has not yet been developed, the other three large islands are almost all full of people, but wherever there are plains, there is smoke rising from the cooking. The largest plain in Fuso, on the main island, that is, the self-proclaimed China of Fuso, the three regions of Kanto, Kansai, and Northeast China are all large coastal plains. The largest plain on the island of Kyushu is on the border between Hizen and Chikugo. It is said that it is a great plain, but it is just an irregular square area that is fifty miles long from east to west and forty miles wide from north to south. Why are place names banned? ) is large.

The 50,000 troops of the Goto clan and the Tachibana clan combined confronted each other here.

Before Godao Cunxuan and Lian Zining said that the scenery of our country is also very considerable, which is true, Fusang is mountainous, but the mountains are not high, and they are very delicate. At this time, it is spring, put in the solar calendar of the later generations, it is already more than May, although there is still some cold, but it is already a strong spring, a hundred flowers bloom, the mountain spring dingdong, the woods are lush, although there is no formal mountain road, but it is not difficult to walk. During the walk, there are scenery on all sides, and the mood is also pleasant and relaxed.

Sometimes passing by the village, those Fusang villagers would help the old and the young out, and a group of people knelt on the side of the road, their heads buried in the ground, and they didn't even dare to lift up.

The news of Hizen's change of master has spread with the footsteps of the merchants, and these farmers all know that their new master is a big official from the Ming Kingdom.

What made Lian Zining laugh the most was that when he was about to reach Chikugo, he passed by a village, and the old man of the village was similar to the existence of the village chief, and even offered two beauties. However, seeing the two ghost-like beauties with white faces, Lian Zining was insensitive in gratitude.

Along the way, I also kept seeing the outposts of the Godao clan, and when I saw the army, they all retreated, and even Zining didn't care about them, but just commanded the army to press over.

Although facing ten times the number of enemy soldiers, Lian Zining was not afraid at all.

The Ashigaru made up of Fuso peasants is the group of people with the worst combat effectiveness among all the soldiers around the entire Ming Dynasty, and in the language of the game, this is the novice area. If you can't even deal with these guys, how can you deal with those tigers and wolves on all sides?

Not to mention, the Tachibana family and the Goto clan are only between the best, plus Wu Yijun, that is an absolute advantage.

Finally, after walking out of a mountain pass, Lian Zining came to this plain named the Scarlet Dream Forest - because the mountains around the plain are full of fiery red maple trees, and when autumn comes, there is a charming red everywhere, as if immersed in a crimson dream.

Hence the nickname.

It is indeed quite rich, roadside villages abound, and there are arable land everywhere, and in Fusang, war has long been commonplace for ordinary peasants, and it has reached the point where war is coming, but it will not affect life. The men were all conscripted into the army, and the women, the elderly and children were working in the fields, which was also a prosperous scene.

In Daming, it is absolutely impossible to see such a scene.

Lian Zining kept letting out the dragoons' outposts, and sent back one message after another, and soon, he knew that at this time, the Goto clan was stationed in Saiun Castle, the capital of Chikugo Province, and the army of the Tachibana family was stationed.

As soon as he heard this name, Lian Zining thought it was something, and the army pressed all the way over, and when he arrived five miles away from Caiyun City, he couldn't help but be disappointed when he got closer.

The so-called Caiyun City is just a wooden city, the city walls on all sides are two zhang high, not even a stone is seen, the whole city is two or three miles in radius, not as big as a county town in Daming. The city is quite lively, and it looks like it is full of flags.

Lian Zining ordered people to stop five miles west of Caiyun City and set up camp on a high ground surrounded by a stream.

The soldiers of Wu Yijun set up camp in strict accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers cut large logs from a distance and erected a fence on the ground, and then dug a five-foot-deep and five-foot-wide trench outside, preferably to dig out water, and then piled up the excavated soil under the fence, which formed a wall of civil engineering structure.

Don't underestimate a small camp, this is an important measure of an army's military discipline, morale and military spirit, a can be built after a large-scale extremely physically demanding march can still build such a camp, strict implementation of the target of the army, absolutely also has a strong executive force and military discipline, and in this era, these two points are often linked to the army's combat effectiveness.

Wu Yijun has always been very strict in this regard, that is, when he surrounded and suppressed those bandits, every time he camped in the wild, he was also meticulous. From a distance, the entire camp has wooden walls, moats, and fierce fighting, but it is more like a city than that Caiyun City.

Goto Baiju was surrounded by a group of samurai, standing on the wall of Caiyun City, she held a copper thousand miles in her hand, such things were imported from the West, and it was said that the major names of this book fought all year round, and naturally noticed its military value, but it was used earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

In the thousands of miles, the situation of the Wu Yi army's camp was faintly visible, seeing the busy but orderly soldiers, the spears and halberds that were like a forest, the large amount of supplies that came with the army, and the fierce soldiers, the face of the white chrysanthemum of the five islands became more and more iron-blue.

Her hands clenched tightly, sharp nails digging into the flesh, blood oozing from the palms.

Damn, these Ming people, it's really damned! Isn't it enough to occupy the Hizen country? If you want to chase after you, do you have to kill them all?

She put down the Qianli Wheel and looked back at her own soldiers scattered all over the city, the samurai who were lazily basking in the sun with swords and clogs, although they were very capable of fighting individually, but did they expect them to charge into battle? Can they be expected to form a formation and kill the enemy? In the battle of Shancheng, the bloody lesson made Goto Baiju deeply understand the role of the formation, so dozens of Ming soldiers relied on the continuous formation to block the impact of several times the samurai.

As for those ashigaru? Goto Baiju's eyes swept over the peasants who were dressed in tattered clothes, holding only a bamboo gun in their hands, and their eyes were glazed, and a trace of disgust and disdain flashed in their eyes. These pig-like pariahs really can't do anything!

"The only thing I can count on is probably them!"

In the clearing of the city, there was a neighing of war horses.

When Wudao Baiju was paying attention to these newcomers, ten miles outside Caiyun City, only three miles away from Lian Zining's camp, there were also a few people who were peeking there.

A group of dozens of samurai surrounded four people, the most striking of which was an old man, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looking about fifty or sixty years old, with a jade crown on his head, a white one, but not a kimono, but a bright red Ming military attache uniform. The military attache of the Ming Dynasty is just embroidered with a lion, and his big red official robe is embroidered with a four-clawed python, the big golden four-clawed python is extremely powerful, surrounded by colorful cloud patterns, seawater river cliffs, persimmon on the chest and back, there are sleeves and knees, it looks extremely gorgeous and gorgeous, majestic and noble.

This, the python robe of the Ming Dynasty during the New Year's greetings, second only to the emperor's dragon robe, and even more above the first grade of civil and military officials, generally only the prince of the county or the extremely favored minister and internal official can be given the python robe.

The entire Fuso has this qualification, except for the thunder god Tachibana Michiyuki, who was named the king of Shunyi County of the Ming Dynasty, there is no second one!

Tachibana Michiyuki is not young anymore, but he is undiminished, the deep wrinkles on his face are like a knife and an axe, and his eyes are bright.

He was also holding a thousand miles in his hand, and looked intently in the direction of Wu Yijun's camp.

Behind him, Tachibana Chiyo, dressed in silver armor, pushed a wheelchair and looked in that direction with a complicated expression.

On her side, there were two men, one was about ten years old, with a burly figure rarely seen by Fuso people, nearly one meter nine tall, but he looked extremely thick and powerful, similar to a brown bear. It looks sturdy, and it can't be considered ugly, but it is full of flesh and a thick beard, and it is a little ugly out of thin air.

From time to time, he bowed his head and said a few words to Tachibana Chiyo, and the two looked quite intimate.

On the other side, there was an old man in his fifties, somewhat similar to the young man, but his figure was the typical five-short body of a Fuso person.

From time to time, he looked at Tachibana Chiyo and the young man, his expression was quite pleased, and he stroked his gray beard, very proud.
