After everyone arrived, Kirino Toshiaki explained the danger that Kagoshima was facing and the news of Saigo Takamori's decision to raise troops, and everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time, and they were all excited to hear that Saigo Takamori had decided to join them in asking the government for their crimes.

"Since Mr. has decided to raise troops, I don't know how to decide?" After listening to Toshiaki Kirino's introduction, Tsunara Oyama, the commander of Kagoshima Prefecture, was not as excited as everyone else, but was very worried.

"As a general, why worry about commanding the soldiers of the whole country to please the subordinates? It is a town soldier, and it can also be commanded by a camera. Saigo Takamori replied.

Hearing Saigo Takamori's answer, Oyama Tsunashi couldn't help but be stunned. Obviously, Saigo Takamori had no doubts about the justice and legitimacy of his own army, but he did not seem to have really carefully considered the difficulties that would arise when he was attacked by government forces.

"If you want everyone to come today, you will discuss the specific strategy for entering the army." Saigo Takamori saw Oyama Tsunara's inner concerns, and then said, "If Oyama-kun has a good strategy, you might as well tell everyone about it." ”

Oyama Tsunara was a brave general who led a group of Satsuma troops in the Boshin War and marched straight out of central Honshu, and he was very resourceful and knew the difficulty of the battle, and when he heard Saigo Takamori say this, he asked someone to get a map, and after spreading it out on the table, he said: "Take Kumamoto, Oita, and Nagasaki first, if these three places can be captured, then Kyushu can be determined, but it needs to be quickly decided, because my navy is too weak, and if it is delayed, the government will attack everywhere with the navy and cover the landing of the army separately, and our army will be in a situation of passive attack, and the general situation will be in danger." ”

Hearing that Oyama Tsunayoshi was defeated before the battle, Kirino Toshiaki, Shinohara Kunigan and others were a little unhappy, but they also knew that Oyama Tsunayo had good intentions, so they did not reprimand.

"The government navy is now mostly old ships, which are unbearable to use, and the new ships are only three ironclad ships, 'Hiei', 'King Kong', and 'Fuso', of which 'Hiei' and 'King Kong' are now in training in the United Kingdom, and it is difficult to return to China urgently, and 'Fuso' is stationed in Tokyo Bay, and it is said that due to poor maintenance, the hull is rusted, and the machine is also faulty, and it is being repaired and cannot be dispatched. If our army can attack Nagasaki first, seize the steamships and warships in the harbor, and add the ships in the port of Kagoshima, carry our whole army straight to Tokyo, appeal to His Majesty the Emperor, and ask the emperor to side of the emperor, then the great matter can be decided. Saigo Takamori's younger brother, Saigo Kobei, suggested.

Hearing Saigo Kobei's suggestion, Oyama Tsunashi was even more surprised, he looked at Saigo Takamori, and found that Saigo Takamori was just listening silently, and he couldn't deny it.

"Kobei's strategy is good, it's a miracle, but it's a bit too risky." Nomura Shinosuke said, "Although the government navy has three main ironclad ships that cannot move, there are still many gunboats, and more than 10,000 of our troops have crossed the sea to attack Tokyo, and the government will definitely send the navy to intercept them halfway." ”

"What does Nomura-kun think should be used for?" Kunigan Shinohara, asked.

"The soldiers are divided into three ways. The first army Xi Xiaobei's strategy, for the surprise soldiers, sneak attack Nagasaki, with the obtained ships divided into two routes, all the way out of Tokyo, all the way to Shikoku, through Tosa, and the local nobles joined forces to take Osaka by sea, cutting off Japan's waist. In addition, a team of troops went out by land as the main army, marched north to Kumamoto, or besieged or attacked, occupied the entire island of Kyushu, and then went east out of Honshu Island to meet with the second road. "Nomura Shinosuke came up with his own strategic vision.

Hearing Nomura Shinosuke's strategy, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

Nomura Shinosuke was a junior samurai in Satsuma with the rank of army captain, and is currently a Kagoshima prefectural police officer. He was an excellent scout during the Boshin War. He studied in Europe after the war and was familiar with the military affairs of Western countries, so he was able to make quite clever suggestions at this time. This strategy was much more certain than that of Kobei, and it was also conducive to uniting the Shizu forces in Tosa and other areas, as it could be attacked and defended, and it was not necessary to put all the eggs in one basket.

In fact, Nomura Shinosuke's strategy is the closest to the strategy he submitted to Kirino Toshiaki on how to advance the Satsuma army.

"The Tosa people are capricious, but I am afraid that they may not be credible." Saigo Takamori did not evaluate whether Nomura's strategy was feasible, but said this. Lin Yiqing knew that Saigo Takamori was still stuck in the old suspicion of the Tosa people in the Shogun War, and was unwilling to cooperate more with the Tosa people, so he couldn't help but be secretly funny.

In the second year after Saigo Takamori resigned and returned to his hometown, the Tosa clan of the Tosa Domain, who had played a role in the War of the Shogunate, came to him and told him: "When the general starts an incident, I will go to the east and take Osaka directly, and help the king succeed." Saigo Takamori, however, was a little narrow-minded on this issue, and he replied because he was dissatisfied with the vacillation of the Tosa people during the fall of the curtain: "It is better to wait for the officers and soldiers, and follow Okubo and the Yama Prefecture." ”

It is clear from this incident that those who were dissatisfied with the Meiji government had hopes for Saigo Takamori, and although Saigo Takamori rejected the Tosa people that time, even Saigo Takamori was still unwilling to unite with the Tosa people, and he was no longer able to bear it.

Because Saigo Takamori didn't know that Lin Yiqing had secretly included the Tosa people in the ranks of the Allied Army in his name with Kirino Toaki Shinohara Kunigan and others!

And this time, because of his efforts as a traverser, Satsuma's allies are far more than Tosa Road!

"Nomura-kun's plan is too complicated! We are the banner of the dignified, the upright division, and the strongest army in the world, once the army is raised, the corporal clan of the world will definitely respond, the whole army will directly attack Kumamoto, and then occupy the whole island of Kyushu, and then go east out of Honshu can also! Beppu Shinsuke said loudly, "Such a big event can be decided!" ”

Beppu Shinsuke's words "the banner of the dignified and the righteous teacher" obviously touched many Satsuma samurai, and when someone heard his plan, they immediately shouted loudly.

"Yes! The soldiers of the people of Kumamoto will be driven away overnight! Shiro Ikegami said.

All the samurai did not have any doubts about taking Kumamoto, and Lin Yiqing knew that this was because hundreds of rebels easily captured Kumamoto Castle during the "Kamikaze Rebellion" not long ago, and all the samurai believed very much in the description of the vulnerability of the Taiwanese soldiers in Kumamoto Town. The Satsuma army has always been known as the strongest army in Japan, and it did sweep through Japan in the Boshin War, so most people think that it will be easy to capture Kumamoto Castle with only a few hundred people with the strongest army in the world.

But Lin Yiqing knew that the current Kumamoto Castle was not as easy to capture as the Satsuma samurai imagined!

These days, he has been getting a steady stream of information about Kumamoto Castle through reconnaissance personnel, and the government army has greatly strengthened the strength and armament of Kumamoto Castle, and now Kumamoto is no longer Kumamoto during the "Kamikaze Rebellion"!
