Chapter 1151: Fukuoka Castle Upgrade
The Uesugi family's Ragnar Dragon Banner was put away, and the seriously ill Uesugi Kenshin led the Echigo Army, which had lost more than 10,000, to retreat to Iwaya Castle.
The samurai and cavalry of the Takeda and Tokugawa clans were also unwilling to retreat.
Honda Tadakatsu holds the dragonfly cut in his hand and protects Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Sanada Masayuki and Sanada Yukimura father and son left with a few Sanada cavalry.
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun watched a few daimyo retreat, knowing that reinforcements were almost coming.
The Daimyo of the Eastern Kingdom, the Daimyo of the Western Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga, and the Daimyo of all walks of life all returned to Iwaya Castle within two days.
In the battle of Fukuoka Castle, the Japanese army was killed and wounded, and captured, totaling more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Oda Nobunaga failed to achieve his goal of destroying Fukuoka Castle and launched the Battle of Fukuoka Castle, which outweighed the losses.
Shiraki patiently watched Oda Nobunaga leave.
Fukuoka Castle is about to be upgraded to a large city, and soon the Xia army can replenish a group of elite soldiers and horses, so Bai Qi is not in a hurry.
His three thousand Iron Eagle Warriors, once all of them are replenished, will be a terrifying force.
Iron Eagle Ruishi is an advanced class of Qin Ruishi.
As long as Qin Ruishi spends two or three months on the transfer, he can directly inherit the rank and become an experienced Iron Eagle Ruishi, which can be directly used.
Bai Qi commands the troops with the background of the Qin State, and there are additional bonuses.
If it weren't for Wang Qian, Li Xin, and Meng Wu to recruit a large number of Qin Ruishi to participate in the Western Expedition, Bai Qi would not have had no elites available.
"Once the transfer of the Iron Eagle Warriors is completed and the various legions are replenished with elite troops, then it will be our turn to launch an offensive and sweep through Kyushu Island."
Bai Qi already has his own plans.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general will capture one of the other princes alive, please send it down."
Yang Zaixing carried the captured daimyo Nanfang Qingzheng and came to see Chu Wu.
Nanbu Harumasa's face turned pale.
In this battle, he was first attacked by Su Lie, suffered heavy losses, and was captured by Yang Zaixing.
"Kill him, or keep him?"
Chu Wu looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang replied: "Your Highness can make your own holy judgment." β
ββ¦β¦β
Chu Wu also seemed to know that his mother reminded Zhuge Liang not to help himself too much, and many things needed Chu Wu's own judgment to improve Chu Wu's ability to judge independently.
If you kill the head of the Nanbu family, there is a good chance that the land of the Nanbu family will be swallowed up by the surrounding daimyos, forming an even bigger daimyo.
"Please spare my life, Your Highness, the southern family is willing to pay tribute to Your Highness!"
Nanfang Qingzheng heard Yang Zaixing and Zhuge Liang's name for Chu Wu, and knew that Date Masamune's judgment was accurate, and the person in front of him was the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he immediately begged Chu Wu for submission.
"Ministers? You are not eligible. β
Chu Wu was relatively humble in front of the elders of the Great Xia Dynasty, but in front of the captives, he was very arrogant.
After all, he is the prince of the empire, and he is still the eldest son, and he will not be polite to the captives of a small country.
Nanbu Qingzheng said that it was a daimyo, but it was actually equivalent to a county order in the Central Plains, and it was not as good as a county guard.
The vassals of the Daimyo still want to keep their family's territory.
Dongying's family problem is more serious than that of ancient Huaxia.
For example, Nanfang Qingzheng, who was captured by Yang Zaixing, is already the 24th generation of the Nanfang family......
These daimyo were reluctant to give up their clan's territory.
However, before Chu Tian conquered the four islands of Dongying, he had already decided to confiscate all the territories of the daimyo and put them under the jurisdiction of the Dongying Protectorate.
Without territory, the daimyo would have no revenue, no revenue from military rations, and no threat.
Nanbu Harumasa tried to lobby Chu Wu: "If Your Highness accepts me as a vassal and retains the fiefs of each daimyo, or, redivides the fiefs, maybe all the daimyos will choose to attach themselves to His Highness instead of Oda Nobunaga." β
"Wishful thinking, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and no daimyo can keep the territory!"
Chu Wu's attitude was as resolute as Chu Tian's.
If you don't completely smash the shogunate system, then it will be pointless to attack the four islands of Toei.
"Give up all your territory, your gold and silver, and you will live. You have only two choices, surrender or die. β
Chu Wu had Nanfang Qingzheng imprisoned, and it would be extremely easy to capture the territory of Nanfang in the future, and it would be extremely easy to threaten Nanfang Qingzheng.
"Fukuoka City, it's finally time to upgrade!"
Li Jie, the craftsman who was really responsible for the construction of Fukuoka Castle, stood in front of the stone monument of the castle lord's mansion.
Fukuoka Castle has reached the level of prosperity and population required for a large castle.
After the failure of the Fukuoka Castle Battle initiated by Oda Nobunaga, Fukuoka Castle was unsurprisingly upgraded to a large castle, and the area became larger, and the teleportation array was opened!
Yue Fei's Huainan army arrived from Hefei and Shouchun one after another.
Lu Su, Tian Ji, Wen Yang and other generals subordinate to the Huainan Army were all thrown into the battlefield of Kyushu Island.
After being upgraded to a large castle, the Xia army reorganized in Fukuoka Castle.
Once the teleportation array is opened, the troops of each prefecture and county in the empire can arrive at Fukuoka Castle at any time!
It is a miracle that a new city was forcibly built in the plains of Hakata Bay in a short period of time, and it was quickly upgraded from a first-class village to a large castle!
Only the Central Plains Dynasty has such courage and resources!
Fukuoka Castle is a new castle and the new seat of Kyushu Island in Chutian's plan.
According to Chutian's plan, the Great Xia Dynasty will set up the Dongying Protectorate, which will govern several counties, among which Kyushu Island will become Kyushu County, and Fukuoka City will be the county of Kyushu County. At the same time, the area of Fukuoka Castle was named Fukuoka Prefecture.
Abandoning the old castle and building a new castle as a seat of governance also helped to weaken the influence of the daimyo and samurai and other nobles.
2,500 elite cavalry were transported from Mobei to Fukuoka Castle, these cavalrymen carried Mongolian bows, held war spears, and iron bones, each cavalry, with 3 or 4 war horses, excellent armor, and skilled bow horses.
When Chu Wu saw this group of cavalry, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He finally has his own exclusive class, the ninth-order Cowardly Xue Army.
The most brave and warlike young men were selected from the herdsmen of Mobei, and the cowardly Xue army that was transferred, coupled with the armor of the Central Plains, would be a cavalry that would terrify the enemy.
Whether it is riding and shooting, charging into battle, or hand-to-hand combat, the cowardly Xue army of the ninth order can do it!
"General!"
The 2,500 newly recruited cowardly Xue Jun recognized Chu Wu as the main general in unison!
Chu Wu has been borrowing the elite of other generals.
And the 2,500 cowardly Xue soldiers recruited by the imperial court for him in Mobei finally came out!
Chu Wu took a look at the state of this cavalry.
[Legion]: Cowardly Xue Army
[Number of people]: 2500
[Grade]: Ninth Order
[Status]: High
[Average Grade]: 10
[Average Morale]: 90 (Combat Power β)
[Average Stamina]: 92 (Combat Powerβ)
[Number of War Horses]: 9291
[Number of arrows]: 61,250 ordinary arrows, 42,147 armor-piercing arrows
β¦β¦
As a ninth-order soldier, the Cowardly Xue Army has nothing to find fault with.
It's just that the cowardly Xue Jun is different from the Iron Eagle Ruishi.
The advantage of the cowardly Xue army is that it has a talisman and can recruit more troops.
The advantage of the Iron Eagle Ruishi is that he can directly inherit the rank of Qin Ruishi.
The average level of this team of cowardly Xue Jun is only level 10, and the Iron Eagle Ruishi who Bai Qi selects the highest-level Qin Ruishi to transfer to the job can reach level 80-100 on average.
Chu Wu also needs to take this cowardly Xue army recruit to fight and let them grow up.
There are 2,500 cowardly Xue troops, but there are 9,000 war horses and 100,000 arrows, which shows that the imperial court spares no room to strengthen the prince's guards.
"Lu Lingqi, the imperial court has recruited a team of wolf riders, and they will be under your command in the future."
Chu Wu not only recruited a team of cowardly Xue troops as his guards, but also supplemented Lu Lingqi's Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
Lu Bu left too few of Lu Lingqi's subordinates, so Chu Wu recruited thousands of wolf horses to Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi can command thousands of wolf riders and reproduce the glory of Lu Bu in the past, and she is quite excited.
It seems to be a good feeling to follow the prince.
Lu Lingqi doesn't have to worry about military salaries, food and grass, and recruitment, and the court will replenish her troops.
Tachibana Chiyo's special class "Tachibana Early Strike Girl" requires women as a source of soldiers, and it also needs to be equipped with iron cannons.
These two conditions are really nothing for the Great Xia Dynasty with a full range of troops.
The Savaran cavalry, the Black Cloud Sword Army, and the crossbowmen were also replenished.
The three thousand iron eagles who rose white were also made up!
"This time, it's our turn to sweep across the island of Kyushu."
Bai Qi finally waited until the time was ripe and had absolute certainty to take Kyushu Island.
