Tokugawa Iseni decided to turn his face with Huaxia after preparing for more than a year, and naturally he had a certain amount of dependence. In fact, in the past year or so, the shogunate not only trained two standing and quasi-standing armies of about 6,000 people, but also concentrated about 25,000 troops from the lower ranks of the shogunate and the clans of the clan to build more than a dozen fortified fortresses near Edo, in an attempt to defend Edo and prevent a repeat of the scene in which the Xia army smashed the Yellow Dragon and forced the shogun to flee.

Of course, the armament of the Edo garrisons was completely new compared to the garrisons that still used old iron cannons, old barrels, red guns, and swords—the archers had been completely replaced by flint cannons, and the small-caliber cannons had been replaced by the main naval guns of the Dutch—and at this point, the castle was armed with at least twelve eight-pounder guns, nine nine-pounder guns, eight twelve-pounder guns, and no less than four twenty-four-pounder cannons.

The equipment of the academy, the small surname group and the new one is still like this.,On the basis of the three, the standing power of the elite is even more powerful.。 Jiaxuan carefully studied the establishment of the Xia army, so this standing army was divided into five reserves, each with 600 people, and one general; Each team has six teams, each team has 100 people, and there is one general; There are groups below the team, with 33 people in each group and one person at the head of the group; The group is divided into two ashigaru heads, and each ashigaru head commands fifteen people.

According to Jiaxuan's design, five of the six teams were a mixture of spears and flint cannons, and one team was equipped with three four-pounder field guns, so the entire standing equipment was equipped with 15 artillery guns, 240 flint cannons, 210 spears, 60 horses, and 50 horses for warriors.

In fact, the quasi-standing equipment is exactly the same as the standing equipment, but the cost of the weapons and equipment of the unit is paid for by the daimyo of each domain, and the soldiers are also provided by the major names, but the commanders above the head of the group are all sent by the shogunate, so even if the combat power is inferior to the standing equipment, the difference is extremely limited, and it can be regarded as a combat force of the same level.

Jia Xuan believed that the shogunate could use the branch city to consume the sharp energy of the Xia army from the expedition, and then put in standing and quasi-standing reserves at critical moments to achieve the purpose of inflicting heavy losses on the Xia army. Jia Xuan believed that as long as the invading Xia army was dealt a heavy blow, it would be impossible for Huaxia to continue to invest large armies in Japan again and again, so that the two sides could resume negotiations in favor of the shogunate, and finally ensure that the shogunate won without a fight.

Jia Xuan didn't know that his plot had actually gone bankrupt, and Zheng Kezang, who had been disrupted by the Japanese Revolution, had already made an angry decision to make the final disposition of the shogunate, so nearly 40,000 Xia troops, including the 3rd Division of the Guangwei Army, the 2nd Division of the Xuanwu Army, the 4th Division of the Yulin Army, the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Longxiang Army, the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Longxiang Army, and the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Division of the Longxiang Army, had already left for the Ryukyus, and a war of annihilation was about to begin.

On September 20, the 11th year of Takesei, the 7th Regiment of the Annam Imperial Battalion arrived in Ryukyu. The Annamite people who suffered from seasickness were amazed that the port of Naha had become a military city, and when they saw the sails of warships like a forest outside the port, the Annamite people suddenly realized that China did not want the Annamite people to sell their lives, but to show off their strength to Annam.

The Vietnamese, who arrived later, also felt the same way, only the Koreans felt slightly better, and they had already taken advantage of Huaxia once, so they naturally wanted to share the war dividends in the war that they were sure to win.

On September 25, the 11th year of Takesei, the first Xia army to arrive in the Ryukyus began to board a ship and leave the port to kill Japan after more than ten days of rest. Prior to this, the Xia army had continuously shelled the ports of Yokohama, Sunfu, Nagoya, Sakai Town, Osaka, Nagasaki and other places, and at the same time, the Xia army also widely distributed leaflets, warning the daimyo in various places not to stand on the side of the shogunate and make enemies of the Xia army, otherwise a thunderous blow would fall on them first.

After all, after the previous Summer War, the princes were full of doubts about whether the shogunate could defeat the Xia army, so even the Satsuma Shimazu Domain, which had a common enmity with China, did not dare to send troops to Edo Konowang, let alone Maori, Maeda and other state-level foreign officials.

At this moment when the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, some people in Japan are starting to move.

"Warrior Koji-sama, where did you get this news from?" In a certain mansion of the ministers in Heiankyo, several young ministers were talking softly. "It can't be fake news from the shogunate."

"Lord Eagle Siquan Zuo, you are too worried, the shogunate has been inherited for a hundred years, and you don't care about the imperial court at all, who can you earn by releasing such fake news? It's not like us poor people who want power but no power, and don't want money. "Xiaolu Yiqing, a martial artist of the Yulin family, clarified." Don't worry, this is what I heard with my own ears from the Xia people. ”

"Xia people? Haven't all those Xia people been driven out by the shogunate a long time ago? Another young minister of the Tsinghua family asked in surprise. How can anyone still be stranded in Japan? Lord Warrior Xiaolu, it's not that I want to question it, it's really a matter of importance, you can't help but say a clear understanding. ”

"Three attendants, please rest assured, I know the trick, as for why there are still Xia people in Japan." Warrior Xiao Lu Yiqing smiled. "Although the Xia people have done a lot of things that are not good for Japan, there are always people who have profited from it, and these people are obviously dissatisfied with the shogunate, and with the cover of these people, it is not surprising that there are one or two Xia people staying in Japan."

"This is also true, some wealthy businessmen are very bold." The three squires nodded. "So people are credible, but things?"

Warrior Xiaolu Yiqing took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the tatami mat: "A few adults, please take a look." ”

Several ministers leaned over and saw a piece of official paper on the ground, with a few lines densely written on the paper, the general content of which was that the shogunate tore up the treaty and was capricious, and the Chinese court was deeply dissatisfied with this, and decided to abolish the shogunate and restore the authority of the Japanese court. The lower end of the official paper is upright covered with the large seal of the Chinese Honglu envoy in Osaka and the painting of the Honglu envoy Qin Moumou, obviously, this is really no longer a real thing.

"Great." Major General Ying Siquan Zuo, who is proficient in Chinese, took this piece of paper as if he had obtained the treasure. "Lord Warrior Xiaolu, if the imperial court can realize the royal government because of this, you are the first hero." After making a promise to the rather complacent warrior path, Major General Eagle Siquan Zuo asked again. "Where is this man, I will ask him personally."

"Major General Quan Zuo, it's not the lower officials who pour cold water on you, it's a big matter, it's not that you can reach an agreement if you go out." Warrior Koji was unimpressed by Takaji's self-confidence. "To collude the two countries and promote Xia Ting to restore the authority of the imperial court, I am afraid that a few heads of the Qing family will need to come forward to promote it, so that the Xia people can feel that we value ??????"

"That makes sense," the three attendants saw that they didn't get any credit for it, and they didn't want to see Major General Ying Siquan get a reward, so they helped on the side. "Only a few prime ministers come out, maybe they can make the Xia people feel that we pay attention."

Major General Ying Siquan Zuo frowned: "But I'm afraid that a few family heads will be very loud when they come out, in case it arouses the vigilance of the shogunate?" ”

The fourth minister, who had been silent, said disdainfully at this time: "Shogunate? The shogunate is now too busy to take care of itself, and how can it have any energy to monitor the actions of every minister of the imperial court. In my opinion, this matter is easy to do, under the pretext of avoiding the war, several heads of the family went to the countryside to hide for a while, and took the opportunity to meet with the Xia people, and the conditions were implemented. ”

Yes, conditions, although Huaxia was dissatisfied with the shogunate, the Xia court could completely replace the Tokugawa shogunate with the Maori shogunate, the Maeda shogunate, and the Date shogunate, and it was not necessarily necessary to use the Japanese court to end the shogunate, so there must be a large number of behind-the-scenes secret agreements waiting for the imperial court to confirm. However, compared to regaining the long-lost rights from the samurai, agreeing to Huaxia's various demands is actually nothing to the Japanese ministers. It's just that this qiē has to be discussed, and it must be fought for on the basis of reason, otherwise if they blindly promise it, the Chinese side will also worry that the ministers will break their promises and become fat in the future.

"Tachibana Shao Nayan's words are very insightful, so I will come to meet the head of the family, and the three attendants will go to meet Minister Zuo." Speaking of this, Major General Eagle Siquan Zuo looked around. "There is an ancient proverb in China, if the king is not secret, he will lose the country, and if the minister is not secret, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the imperial court, you and I have personal lives, and I ask a few adults to keep it secret, as for the Xia people, there are ministers of Zuo and Quan Da Nayan to contact them, which is obviously enough."

The rest of the people promised to keep it secret, and at this point, it was time for this secret meeting to be dispersed.

However, before going out, Tachibana Shao Nayan suddenly said: "Blindly counting on the Xia people, I'm afraid it's just a rejection of the wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door, should the imperial court start its own force?" ”

One sentence pulled several people back to their seats.

"Force? It's a bit early to think about this. The three attendants thought carefully for a moment and said. It is better to wait for the imperial court to indeed take back the power, and then consider the integration of the armed forces, at that time, a large number of small princes will take refuge in it, and the imperial court can calmly choose a few to act as personal guards. ”

The warrior Xiaolu Yiqing considered this matter from another angle: "What the three attendants said is very true, if the imperial court is in a hurry to find force now, Huaxia will see the clues, will there be unnecessary scruples?" This is beneficial and harmless for the imperial court to gain the trust of Huaxia and then regain power in the world. ”

Tachibana Shaoyan saw that a few people didn't understand what he meant, so he explained: "What the two adults said makes sense, and I also know that I shouldn't be in a hurry, but if the court doesn't rely on force, it is bound to give up more benefits in the negotiation, but I'm afraid that if this benefit is too much, the court will not be able to clean it up in the future." ”

Several people were silent for a moment, and Major General Ying Siquan Zuo suddenly laughed: "Lord Tangerine, you are worried about the sky, and now everything has not been implemented, why worry about the future, and first find a way to get Huaxia's promise??????
