Chapter 219: The curtain is overturned
With the help of Mondora's men, the Tokugawa clan began to retrain and digest the annexed soldiers, and sent small units to march towards the daimyo in various parts of the island of Honshu to prevent these semi-independent daimyo lords from revolting!
Under the impetus of Mondora, the Tokugawa family's actions were very decisive, using the original forces in various places to quickly subdue those semi-independent daimyo who were still hesitating, and under the compulsory conscription order initiated by the Tokugawa shogunate, they gathered their samurai and ashigaru armies, and joined forces with the Tokugawa shogunate army to crusade against the daimyo vassal forces of Kyushu Shikoku and the two islands that had not followed the shogunate's orders so far!
The Tokugawa shogunate turned over the old accounts led by the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, and ordered them to explain and compensate for not listening to the shogunate's decrees!
The intensity of the words was frightening, and if it was the heyday of the Tokugawa family, such an order almost indicated that the shogunate wanted to completely rectify the disobedient Japanese daimyos, and even if the Tokugawa shogunate's demands were severe, the punished daimyo clan would at most arrange with other well-connected vassals to admit their mistakes and pray for a reduction in punishment.

But now that the elite of the Tokugawa shogunate has been greatly damaged and its prestige has almost been lost, it can almost be regarded as a declaration of war if it is so domineering to the daimyo vassals in the remote areas of Japan!
Of course, this is also the intention of the Tokugawa shogunate and the commander of the landing force of the Han Empire, no matter how domineering the Tokugawa shogunate's approach is, it is also the evidence that the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain did deliberately delay when Edo Castle was besieged!
The Tokugawa shogunate did this just to send a great righteousness to the world of Japan, and to call on the daimyo vassals in various places who did not dare to really rebel to gather troops and jointly crusade against the four kingdoms of Kyushu!
Even in the backward and undemocratic feudal era, the name of waging war is very important, even if it is made up, it must be made up to make up a name that everyone can see!
With a reputation, you can call on more people, so that the people who fight know what their goal is, as for how many people can be called, then it depends on their ability and heritage!
The four powerful feudal clans in the southwest, which had been faintly united by the Maori family of the Choshu Domain, issued an edict to the world on the second day after the Tokugawa family's crusade order was transmitted to the Kyushu Shikoku!
Among them, it is subordinate to the Tokugawa shogunate since the control of the Japanese state of power perverse Shi Lin dozens of crimes, among which the Tokugawa family is not aware of the emperor's law, unauthorized erection of the emperor's rights of the guilt, Japan is a very wonderful country, although everyone knows that the Japanese emperor is just a mascot, but most of the national civil wars that broke out in Japan, those big forces like to pull themselves to the side of the emperor, as if this seems to be the messenger of justice for the heavens......
Cao Cao's practice of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is even more frequent in Japan, but almost everyone regards the name of the emperor as a slogan and a routine, and they don't care too much......
In Japan, the emperor's residence in Kyoto also has a set of theoretical government teams, but the government team in Kyoto is similar to the pension department, and the actual power is basically controlled by the shogunate, and even the security measures of the Kyoto Imperial Palace are firmly controlled by the samurai from the shogunate family!
The ministers in Kyoto who were loyal to the emperor could only receive a low and poor salary every year that guaranteed them not to die of starvation, which was the difference between the local tyrants and the beggars compared to the shogunate ministers of Edo Castle!
The most miserable thing is that the clothes worn by the Japanese emperor all day are mended and mended, and few new clothes are sent, most of them are 'ancestral'......
They were eaten with bran pickles from the low-level farmers, and occasionally at festivals or when the shogunate family was in a good mood......
The entire Kyoto Imperial Palace is filled with a sour smell!
If it weren't for the fact that the Kyoto Imperial Palace was the face of Japan, I am afraid that the shogunate would not have bothered to even pay for the regular repair of the Imperial Palace......
This is a proper mascot puppet!
One can imagine how much the emperor hated and ...... the emperor who was abused all day long Fear the Tokugawa shogunate!
It is also for this reason that the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest secretly contacted the Kyoto court, which made the emperor greatly excited and distressed, excited that there were finally local forces in the country who were not used to seeing the Tokugawa family to set off a rebellion, and it was also in the name of loyalty to the country, as long as these people won, no matter how bad it is, the emperor's food and clothing can be much stronger......
The distress is very simple, the open forces in Kyoto are all controlled by the Tokugawa family, and he can't even respond to the slogan......
As long as the emperor dares to say a word in favor of rebellion, before the news of the palace is reached, shogunate warriors wearing armor and full armor will come in with swords, and then in a few days, the news of the emperor's death and the new emperor's accession to the throne will spread in the palace!
Yes, the puppet emperor of Japan is so casual and easy......
To put it mildly, the reason why the emperor of Japan is called the emperor is because this lucky person with a trace of the emperor's blood lives in the Kyoto Imperial Palace!
Once he leaves the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the emperor's value will be greatly reduced, if not to the point of being useless!
Without the emperor of Kyoto, there will be a huge loophole in the legal system, and the forces occupying Kyoto can completely support another emperor to come out!
Anyway, the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor family is there, as if it can't be killed cleanly, the male is gone, and the female can also be supported!
Therefore, the most important political call is still in the control of Kyoto, as long as Kyoto is mastered, it can be seen to the people of the world, that is, the daimyo and low-level samurai everywhere, a symbol of strength!
Naturally, you will get more daimyo and low-level samurai and even wild samurai to take refuge, and then continue to expand your strength!
Orthodoxy is a seemingly useless but important thing, after a foreign invasion usually takes down the capital, the enemy's will to resist will be greatly reduced, and similarly, the side that occupies the capital in the civil war will undoubtedly gain more support!
Of course, after the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest issued a-for-tat surrender, they immediately merged the troops that had already been mobilized due to the invasion of the Han Empire into one and pointed directly at Kyoto!
At the same time, the 'patriotic wild samurai' who were dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family's betrayal of the country and glory, as well as the careerists who were ready to move and the followers of the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest, broke out at the same time, trying to drive the shogunate army directly out of Kyoto City!
