This servant army sequence named the first division of Japan, the low-level soldiers are all composed of ignorant and loyal Japanese farmers and civilians, and they did not accept any of the slippery and bad young men in Japanese towns, and those young men and women became security policemen with military sticks after screening, assisting the soldiers of the Han Empire to maintain stability in the occupied areas!

The Japanese First Division was withdrawn alone, established a perfect military system with the system of the Han Empire, got out of the task of public security, and went all out to conduct combat discipline training!

The Japanese First Division has tens of thousands of people in total, and it is also the limit of the financial support of the expeditionary force!

Without the support of the Tokugawa shogunate's taxes, it was difficult to expand the size of the servant army......

The Japanese First Division is not a musketeer, after all, the armaments in the expeditionary fleet are limited, and in the Japanese First Division, there is only one infantry regiment that is really firearmed, and the remaining two regiments are completely cold weapon troops!

The arquebus was not accepted by the Japanese servant army, and it was difficult for recruits to operate the arquebus in a short period of time!

You know, it is very difficult for a person to take a fire rope to light a musket, and to take care of the aim along the way!

Among the factors that replaced arquebuses on a large scale with flintlock pistols, the ease of training played a large role!

As for cavalry and artillery, they do not exist in the Japanese servant army, Japan is a country that lacks horses, and the entire Tokugawa family, it is already very laborious to pull out thousands of horse-riding mothers!

Not to mention the Han Empire expeditionary force that has just arrived and does not occupy any horse-producing land!

The Japanese servant army was not assigned cavalry because there were no horses, and artillery was not assigned because of the difficulty of artillery training......

Of course, there is also the meaning of limiting the strength of the Japanese servant army!

In this way, the Tokugawa shogunate exerted all its strength to form a defensive line and train a new army, while the Han Empire expeditionary force surrounded this servant army with all its might, and neither the ideological bombing nor army training could be left behind!

Thanks to Japan's backward and ignorant feudal system, the Japanese soldiers who occupy the bottom of the servant army are not polluted by the chaotic bushido spirit, and their knowledge and cognition are very poor, so it is relatively easier to control!

The more the kind of country where the people's wisdom opens, the more unreliable the servant army or the puppet army is, to put it bluntly, it is because the puppet army soldiers who are opened by the people's wisdom, even if they have no sense of identity with the country, but when they attack their own compatriots, it is difficult to really fight to the death!

In layman's terms, even their own motherland can be betrayed, how can such a person really go to the end of his life and die?

This is why when Japan invaded China, the puppet army was rarely allowed to fight tough battles on the frontal battlefield.

Of course, there are many foreigners who are strong in combat, but most of them are a small number, after all, in every country, there are a handful of people who hate their own country, and this group of people has no sense of identity with their own country, and naturally, when fighting for the enemy country, they will also open up......

In the era when people's wisdom was opened, there were not many such people, but in the backward feudal society, almost all illiterate peasants were such people!

They don't understand what a country is, let alone what nationalism is, they only know things closely related to themselves, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whoever gives them food, clothing, shelter and is good to them, they are willing to die for whom!

Very simple, very innocent human instinct, the more ignorant people are, the more they value this kindness......

After all kinds of deceitful material edification, I am afraid it is difficult to have that kind of innocence and simplicity, and everything will be in line with interests and the general trend!

Wang Gang looked at the Japanese farmers who were shouting and training on the drill field, and couldn't help but sigh: "These Japanese farmers are really simple, whoever can keep them fed and clothed can work for whom!"

I now understand why the private armies of the daimyo in various parts of Japan are loyal to them and ignore the authority of the central government! ”

Time slowly passed the seventeenth year of the Han Dynasty, and the Southwest Coalition Army, which had been preparing for more than half a year, finally integrated the strong men who were forcibly pulled, and rushed overwhelmingly to the defense line that the Tokugawa shogunate had painstakingly formed!

Brutal siege warfare and field battles spread from Nagoya all the way to Minami Shinano in June of the 18th year of the Great Han Dynasty!

Because the Tokugawa shogunate was well aware of the disadvantages of the decisive battle against their own side, they decided to stick to the castle defense line and disperse the main force, and set up obstacles to the southwest coalition army at all levels!

The Southwest Coalition Army was afraid of the new army that the Tokugawa shogunate had never participated in, and did not dare to wave its troops to attack, so the offensive battle could not form a crushing advantage, and it became a scorching meat grinder!

Although on the battlefield, the shogunate army was on the defending side, and after every battle, as long as it was not captured, it could cause an advantageous casualty ratio!

However, after calculating the number of their own troops and the strength of the shogunate defenders, the Southwest Coalition Army gritted its teeth and insisted on continuing this offensive with heavy casualties!

Even if there are a few more deaths, this is the safest tactic to break through the defense line, if the shogunate's new army is not put into use, it is only a matter of time and how many people die when the Southwest Coalition invades important places such as Nagoya Minami Shinano!

The Southwest Coalition Army, which has already occupied most of Japan, is not unacceptable even if the consumption of samurai and young men is heartbroken!

This war lasted longer than the last war, and the Tokugawa shogunate was horrified to see the defect of losing the title of traitor on the back of righteousness!

In the situation of the Southwest Coalition Army, the samurai from all over the country who had not seen the military might of the Han Empire came to vote one after another, so that the strength of the Southwest Coalition Army was constantly replenished, on the contrary, the Tokugawa Shogunate has been eating the old book, and most of the daimyo who are loyal to the Shogunate, except for those who are too close to Yokohama Edo and have no way, have started to think crookedly!

The shogunate's defense line has not collapsed yet, and the popularity of the Tokugawa family is almost crumbling!

The Tokugawa family is not stupid, and it can be seen that as the war drags on, they will only go downhill more and more, and in the end, even if Edo Castle is kept, they will lose a large part of the family territory!

Those are the core territories of the Tokugawa family!

The Tokugawa family knows very well that if the Southwest Coalition Army really attacks Edo Castle, those lost family territories will be pears by the Southwest Coalition Army, even if they finally rely on the power of the Han Empire to recover, it is difficult to say whether they are still surnamed Tokugawa!

The Tokugawa family was not too distressed by the previous loss of Kyoto, which was never the root of the Tokugawa family, but east of Minami Shinano, the Tokugawa family's territory occupied the vast majority!

Seeing that the defeat of this civil war was decided, the Tokugawa family finally sent an envoy to completely surrender to Mondora and the Han Empire behind him! (To be continued.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
