Chapter 810: Battle clouds are gathering in Kyushu
Fujita and his family elders discussed in their own Japanese garden in Miyazaki how to deal with the situation in the Kyushu region in the future.
But after deliberation, they can't come up with any good way now.
Although there are two roads to go in front of them, no matter which one they take, it is also very rugged and bumpy for them Kyushu people.
However, it is very unrealistic for them to honestly hand over the rights of Kyushu like this, whether it is Fujita or other Kyushu daimyos.
Because they can't just surrender the rights they enjoy, and their status.
Sho Matsushita, the elder of the Fujita family, has served the family for three generations.
The position in this family is very powerful, so he and the Fujita family have become both prosperous and lossy.
People like Sho Matsushita also have many people in the homes of other daimyo in Kyushu.
Therefore, under some implication, this is a matter that concerns many people.
Just by virtue of the agreement reached between the shogunate and Zhao Hongyu, it is very, very unreliable to want these daimyo of the Kyushu feudal lords to be annoying.
Didn't the shogunate think of this obstacle?
No!
Of course, the shogunate thought of it, and the people on the shogunate side were not all fools.
But they still agreed, in addition to focusing on the safety of the emperor and the general, it was not said that they wanted to follow Zhao Hongyu's hands and clean up the feudal lords and daimyo here in Kyushu.
Don't look at the agreement, but the shogunate will never give up like this.
They will definitely find an opportunity, and then re-engage with Zhao Hongyu and their military clash this time, and then take Kyushu back.
Zhao Hongyu also took into account some of the things he would encounter in the future, as well as those troubles.
However, even after taking these troubles into account, Zhao Hongyu still had to set foot on the land of Kyushu and take the entire Kyushu into his own hands.
Because Zhao Hongyu has the confidence to deal with all the troubles in the future. The Imperial army in his hands was not vegetarian.
What's more, the environmental location here in Kyushu is also very special, which is what Zhao Hongyu values the most.
Kyushu is located at the southernmost tip of the Wa Kingdom.
Its geographical location is connected to Goryeo in the north, Daming in the west, and Taiwan and the South Sea islands in Luzon in the south.
Moreover, most of the trade activities in the East are now carried out in Taiwan and the Kyushu region. So the Kyushu side is very important.
It's just that some of the things that Zhao Hongyu has to face are not so easy to solve.
Because Kyushu is full of various interests, there will be no shortage of troubles.
Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong often clashed in the waters of Kyushu, and the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Japanese and European merchants, also frequently appeared in the waters of Kyushu.
If Zhao Hongyu wants to stand here, then he must straighten it all out.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu can also use powerful force to deter everyone.
This year. It's not impossible to drop ten with one force.
As long as you show your strength and let everyone see it, they will become honest.
After all, everyone is afraid of death, isn't it?
The island of Kyushu is huge. It occupies almost one-tenth of the territory of the Japanese people.
It can be seen that Zhao Hongyu got one-tenth of the land of the Japanese people at one time through the war this time, which can be described as a very generous amount.
The Japanese people are also very bitter about this.
But. No matter how painful they are, Kyushu still has to cede it.
Who let Zhao Hongyu hold two trump cards in his hands.
There is no way to do this.
There are eight large cities here in Kyushu. Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Sasebo, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Kurume, Fukuoka, and Saga.
Among them, the most prosperous are Nagasaki, Sasebo, and Fukuoka.
Because these three places have large trading ports, and ships are sent to many oriental countries every day, so the prosperity of trade makes the three places very prosperous.
It can be said that although Kyushu is not as good as some other areas outside, the economy here is also okay.
It's no wonder that the thirteen daimyos of Kyushu dared to disobey the orders issued by the shogunate, because these guys have the capital.
However, now their good days were coming to an end, as the shogunate actually ceded Kyushu to a group of foreigners.
And after these foreigners take over Kyushu, they will definitely not continue to let them take power.
You can figure this out even if you think about it with your ass.
As long as the economic power and military power are handed over, then the thirteen daimyos of their Kyushu will turn from phoenixes to local chickens...... No, it's not even as good as a native chicken.
Therefore, when these masters gathered at Miyazaki Fujita's house, the discussion was dispersed and returned to their respective stations, and everyone began to discuss with their subordinates.
In the end, all the daimyo in Kyushu felt that they could not just hand over their rights.
Therefore, they could only choose to fight against Zhao Hongyu.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu has not yet come to Kyushu, so this gives them some time to prepare.
That night, all the envoys of the daimyo came to Fujita's house and told them about their decisions.
Fujita was of course very happy about the decision of these daimyos.
Because after integrating the strength of the thirteen families, they are also a very powerful force.
With the thousands of soldiers and horses of those foreigners, I don't dare to do anything to Kyushu.
Moreover, the shogunate has ceded Kyushu out of the country, so after they defeat the foreigners, won't Kyushu have a kingdom in its own way?
Thinking of this, Fujita couldn't help but be happy.
Of course, I heard that those foreigners left very much, otherwise they would not have ceded the shogunate to Kyushu.
However, after integrating the thirteen daimyos, they also had 150,000 troops in their hands. Not to mention dealing with a few thousand foreigners, these troops could have landed on the shogunate from Shimonoseki on their backs, or even invaded the Shikoku region.
For a time, Fujita's sophomore year of high school was full of confidence.
Suddenly, he felt. After controlling an army of 150,000, nothing in the world could stump him.
Therefore, a small ambition began to pop up in his heart.
It is no wonder that the error of 150,000 people is a lot in the history of the Japanese Kingdom.
It is important to know that when Sekigahara fought together, Tokugawa and Ishida fought each of them, and they each led only 100,000 horses.
Now in Kyushu, 150,000 horses have been produced at one time, which is more than at that time.
The daimyo on the Kyushu side began to gather troops and came to Okazaki. Prepare to give Zhao Hongyu a dismount when they come here.
For the sake of their rights and status, these daimyos of Kyushu have also given up.
These people basically sent all the troops and men they could muster.
They can also see clearly, and whether they are dead or alive depends on this time.
As long as they can repel Zhao Hongyu and these foreigners, then they can keep everything they have now.
If it fails, then there is nothing.
The people of Kyushu don't always look ahead and backward like the people on the shogunate's side. The daimyo here have the courage to break through the cauldron.
This is something that Zhao Hongyu definitely didn't expect.
The tense atmosphere here in Kyushu has also made the merchants from all over the world who do business in Kyushu feel depressed.
The tension before the war has affected countless people.
The common people of the Kyushu region also received a notice from their respective lords.
The samurai who traveled through the countryside with the orders of the lord. Tell these low-level people that the shogunate has ceded Kyushu to foreigners, and they will all become slaves of foreigners in the future.
And by doing so, the shogunate was tantamount to betraying the entire Wa Kingdom.
Therefore. The daimyo of Kyushu do not want to be slaves of foreigners. So they have to stand up and resist, they have to fight foreigners. Therefore, the people can also actively join or contribute food and materials.
As for the fact that the foreigners still had the emperor and the shogun in their hands, and even the foreigners attacked Edo and Osaka and defeated the shogunate army many times, they did not tell the people.
It seems that some propaganda in any era has basically the same idea.
With the full mobilization of the daimyo in the Kyushu region, they expanded the militia force to almost 100,000 people in addition to the 150,000 troops.
Basically, these militiamen came to join the army with a bamboo gun and a few rice balls.
The daimyo didn't expect them to be of any use, just be cannon fodder.
Therefore, the treatment of these militiamen is very poor.
But under the indoctrination of loyalty to the monarch and the salvation of the country, and the idea of not being slaves, the morale of these militiamen was very high.
It can be seen that the people at the bottom are actually very easy to fool.
And Zhao Hongyu didn't know what to say at this time, when he hadn't come to Kyushu with the fleet, the Kyushu side had already organized a large army to be ready for battle.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to control Kyushu without moving swords and guns.
At this time, Kyushu was all mobilizing and planning for the war, and all the materials and materials were transported to the Miyazaki area.
Fortunately, the celebrities on the Kyushu side relied on the geographical advantages and trade to accumulate some money, so they were able to support such an action.
However, this also made it cheaper for many merchants in the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Kyushu side is about to start a military operation, the merchants who sold those military supplies have really made a windfall.
And the daimyo here in Kyushu let out the words, as long as it is a weapon or something, there are as many as there are.
All of a sudden, many Ming merchants left Nagasaki and began to return to the Ming Dynasty, using their own means to get weapons.
After all, who doesn't want to get rich, and the Japanese still have money, don't they? (To be continued......)
