Chapter 853: Clever Yamaguchi Shigenobu

Shigenobu Yamaguchi had a hard time.

The news of the crushing defeat of the original Kyushu coalition of Maitreya has caused the thirteen daimyos to be severely injured, and the loss of more than 100,000 troops has spread throughout the Satsuma Domain.

What about the territory of the other daimyo Yamaguchi Shigenobu didn't know about it, but he clearly knew that his current life was really difficult.

First of all, some areas in the Satsuma Domain's territory where there were gaps in the number of troops, began to disobey their orders. Some local tycoons even began to ignore their orders at all.

And the personnel who are sent out of the country by themselves will also be treated with some impoliteness.

This was unimaginable before.

But now, this scene is unfolding.

Shigenobu Yamaguchi understood, and he also knew that because he had suffered a heavy defeat in Maitreyahara, he had lost almost all of his elite legions. That's why these guys dare to treat themselves like this, if they still have tens of thousands of horses on hand, then these guys will never dare to treat themselves like this.

But the problem is that there is really nothing I can do about it now. Although he hated this very much in his heart, he couldn't do anything about these people in the slightest.

Come to think of it, those wealthy families also know that their days in the Satsuma Domain will definitely not be too long. Because those enemies who landed in Kyushu would soon enter the Satsuma domain.

When the time comes, the Satsuma clan will change owners.

Therefore, these wealthy families also understand that even if they have offended themselves, they are now. But it's impossible to do anything to them yourself, this is the naked reality.

The failure to call up the militia made Shigenobu Yamaguchi very helpless.

But he was helpless, and he finally had to accept such a result and reality.

Therefore, now he has two days to go in front of him, just like the dead Fujita high school sophomore, it depends on how he chooses.

If he chooses to defend Octagon City, then his result will definitely be the same as Fujita's sophomore in high school. Needless to say, this is not said at all.

If he chooses to leave Octagon City, then there is a good chance that he will survive.

And after leaving Octagon City, he still has two choices.

One is to go to the Edo shogunate and take refuge in the shogunate to be an idle person.

The other is to take the only remaining defeated soldiers, choose those who are willing to go with him, and go to other daimyos.

Miyazaki's lord Fujita Takaji chose to defend Okazaki Castle to the death, but after the city was broken, he and his family died without a place to be buried, which can be regarded as paying the price for his choice.

So, now it's up to Shigenobu Yamaguchi to have a choice.

After all, Yamaguchi re-has a different personality from Fujita Koso. So he may not be able to choose the same path as Fujita's sophomore year of high school.

As for surrender, Shigenobu Yamaguchi did not think about it.

At this point, Shigenobu Yamaguchi understands it better than Fujita Takaso.

His presence is an obstacle to those enemies, so those enemies will definitely get rid of him if they attack the Satsuma Domain.

You must know that the other party reached an agreement with the shogunate, and the entire Kyushu was ceded to the other party by the shogunate and the imperial court. So how could they let themselves, the head snake of Kyushu, continue to exist.

This will be a big obstacle to their rule over Kyushu.

As long as it's not a fool. will be clear about this problem.

Therefore, the other party will definitely not keep them to continue to stay in the Kyushu Continent.

What's more, how did the local daimyo of Kyushu behave to those foreigners who came to receive Kyushu.

They formed a coalition army of more than 150,000 men. directly gave the other party a dismount.

Just rush this, those foreigners will not have a reason to let them continue to live freely on the Kyushu continent.

Therefore, even if you want to negotiate peace with the other side now, you will ask for a truce. It is impossible for the other party to accept it.

After all, the other party has now completely gained the upper hand, as long as you are not a fool, you know that Lu Dao is in such a situation. What kind of choice will be made.

If this matter is put on oneself, and the character calls for such a thought, it is absolutely impossible for him to negotiate a truce with the other party in this situation where he has an absolute advantage.

That's what the brain-dead do.

Therefore, Shigenobu Yamaguchi didn't think about this problem at all, unlike Fujita's sophomore in high school, he actually didn't just want to think about it and sent someone to talk about it, but the result was not good.

As for what happened on Miyazaki's side, Shigenobu Yamaguchi still doesn't know what to do.

If he knew what he did, he would definitely be glad about his decision, and he would have despised the idiot of Fujita High School.

In the end, Shigenobu Yamaguchi made his decision, which was to leave Octagon Castle and leave Kyushu and secretly go to Edo.

This was the best way for him to do it, after some careful consideration.

Because he thought about what he would do if he went to other daimyos, sooner or later he would have to continue to deal with those foreigners.

Because the other party's purpose is the entire Kyushu continent, not a single region.

Therefore, he fled to the other daimyos, and he was only able to stop for a while, but in the end, he still couldn't avoid meeting foreigners.

Therefore, if you want to really solve this problem, then leaving Kyushu is the best choice.

Besides, the enemy is so strong, they are not opponents at all.

The battle of Maitreya has clearly confirmed this, and it will never be proved again.

Even the 150,000 elite army is not the opponent of the other party, so now that they have lost their elite troops, can they still confront the other party?

No!

Apparently this is not possible.

After losing the elite corps in all of Kyushu, they already have no way to directly confront each other.

Then in this way, they can only be slowly broken by the other party, and then Kyushu will be slowly lost.

Shigenobu Yamaguchi saw this, so he made the decision to leave Kyushu.

As far as making this decision at him, this guy is still a person who understands the situation compared to Fujita's sophomore year of high school.

Since he already had such a plan, Shigenobu Yamaguchi did not dare to delay.

God knows when those foreigners will come to attack the Satsuma Domain.

Therefore, it is best to leave at all.

In fact, it didn't take more than three days for Shigegumi to retreat from Maitreya's defeat to returning to the Satsuma domain and then making a decision.

He has these three days to think, and he also needs to thank Zhao Hongyu for it.

Because Zhao Hongyu carried more than a hundred artillery pieces with the army, his marching speed was not very fast.

In addition, when they were heading towards the Satsuma Domain, they encountered some small villages or something, so the speed of their march would be slowed down.

In this way, Shigenobu Yamaguchi was given three precious days to think about it, so that they could make the right decision in the end.

In contrast, Miyazaki's Fujita sophomore is more tragic.

He withdrew to Okazaki Castle on the front foot, and Tokugawa Kayo on the back foot arrived. didn't give Fujita High School Sophomore a little time to think about it at all, and then destroyed the Fujita family in a short period of time.

So, from this point of view, Shigenobu Yamaguchi's luck is much stronger than Fujita's high sophore.

With the decision made, Yamaguchi went back into action.

His decision must not be carried out with too many people, so it must be done in secret.

Otherwise, it will become very troublesome.

After all, he was the one who had to fight the enemy in the first place, and now that he has offended those foreigners, how can he want to run to Edo and live a leisurely life.

If nothing else, just his subordinates, a large part of them will definitely quit.

Therefore, this matter must be carried out quietly, and some inconsequential family members cannot carry it.

For everything in the Octagon City of the Satsuma Domain, Zhao Hongyu didn't know anything about it.

He was now leading a large army to conquer Kirishima, an important castle on the eastern side of the Satsuma Domain, and after leaving behind 500 army soldiers, he began to think about advancing to Shira Castle.

It didn't take much effort to capture Kirishima Castle, because the important castle on the east side of the Satsuma Domain was only garrisoned by 150 defenders, so after a round of artillery bombardment by Zhao Hongyu, he only launched a charge and captured it.

Kirishima Castle was so easy to conquer, which also confirmed Zhao Hongyu's own judgment.

That is, the elite of the Satsuma Domain was completely lost in Maitreyahara, and there were not many troops left to defend their territory.

In fact, this is also to blame Shigenobu Yamaguchi, who let him transfer all the elite troops in the territory and take them away.

When Zhao Hongyu left Kirishima Castle, he ordered the heads of the defenders to be nailed to Kirishima Castle to deter the people of Kirishima Castle.

Although this one is cruel and inhumane, it is still very useful for the Japanese people.

That's what they just eat.

In the eyes of the Japanese people, this kind of cruel and bloody method is completely the style of the strong.

Therefore, as an understanding of the nature of the Japanese people, how could he refuse.

"Your Highness, we are still eighty miles away from Shiliang, and it only takes two hours to get there." On the way to the march, Hattori Chizuru, dressed as a samurai, said to Zhao Hongyu.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu summoned a herald and ordered: "Send scouts out of Lu to search the surrounding area." As well as exploring the environment and topography around Shiliang Castle and then returning to it, I need to grasp some details. Although the Satsuma clan no longer had enough troops, we had to be cautious, and many times, the defeat began with carelessness. ”

Along the way, Zhao Hongyu led a large army, and he had destroyed many small villages that resisted him, and it could be said that no one could fight them in front of the imperial army.

Therefore, the process of the march of the army was quite smooth.

But the more smooth it is, the more Zhao Hongyu dares not be careless.

After all, as a person from another plane, he knew very well what carelessness would bring.

Emma and Sara, on the other hand, rode quietly on their horses, listening to Zhao Hongyu and Hattori Chizuru chatting. (To be continued......)
