Chapter 217: What is a Good Dog

Asking the Tokugawa shogunate to forcibly absorb the reinforcements sent to Edo by the daimyo from all over the world, Mondola did not want to help the shogunate power centralize!

It was clearly written in the instructions of Zhao Dutian and the Imperial Staff that no matter what happened, supporting the feudal system implemented by the Tokugawa family was a national policy that Japan must implement!

The Tokugawa family relied on this system to control Japan, and they naturally had no intention of changing, and the reason why Mondora helped the Tokugawa shogunate to recruit foreign aid soldiers was just that he didn't want the unification of Japan to get out of control!

In Zhao Dutian's order, the Japanese state must be a controllable whole, and even if it has to face a civil war, it must not allow the side that surrendered to the Han Empire to be defeated!

Although Zhao Dutian did not have the ability or the need to occupy Japan, he would never allow his aggression to turn a feudal Japan into a modern country!

This generation of Tokugawa generals had a relatively hard backbone, and they didn't recognize the reality until they were about to finish their old foundations, which was somewhat unexpected by Wang Gang and the fleet admiral, in this case, the Han Empire could only give priority to helping the Tokugawa shogunate restore some military strength.

Mondora and Wang Gang, who had been fighting in Japan for many days, had already figured out the strange system of Japan, and the following customs, which were the same as rebellion in foreign countries, were actually implicit rules in Japan!

The Tokugawa Shogun of Japan must continue to appease the Hizen Domain and the Tosa Domain, the two powerful feudal clans of the Shogunate, to contain the power of the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain.

As for why the daimyo favored his subordinates, it is easy to understand, because almost all the samurai of the banner had their own zhixing (that is, fiefdoms), their own subordinates, and their own subjects......

Every Samurai is the equivalent of a semi-independent mini-regime!

And that's not all, there are also low-level Banner Samurai and even the Imperial Family Samurai who belong to them under the high-level Banner Samurai!

Slide down layer by layer, and you will be a local samurai clan one by one!

Each of these local samurai clans has their own subordinate guards, and in wartime, they can also call on the farmers of the territory to take up simple weapons and act as the most rubbish ashigaru troops!

A single samurai is armed with a scumbag, of course, a scum that can be easily crushed to death by a daimyo, and it is impossible for a single samurai or a few samurai not to dare to openly confront the head of the family, but if the head of the family is not good for all the loyal samurai and the samurai, it will be a big deal!

However, there are very few brainless heads of the family who are in power, and in general, when there is no irreversible major change, the samurai class to which they belong will not easily betray the head of the family!

The troops of the daimyo and even the shogun, in fact, were assembled in this way, and the forces that really belonged to the family were only a small group of elites, and the rest were basically banner-based samurai loyal to the head of the family, and according to the level of the samurai, they pulled out troops of varying numbers, and then cobbled together the armies of the daimyo or the shogunate!

When the war was over, they went back to their homes to find their mothers......

As for local security, there is no need to worry about the shogunate regime, and the samurai of the banner who is assigned there will naturally act as the lord of the official!

Of course, although the Samurai of Hagimoto have their own territory and armament, since the spirit of bushido and most of their territories were once canonized by loyal families, loyalty is still very secure!

If a samurai betrays his master, he will be infamous and will be targeted by everyone!

After all, no one likes this kind of guy who has been given the territory of Zhixing and then takes revenge!

Comparatively speaking, the betrayal of the daimyo and the vassals is not so serious, and it basically depends on the name and strength!

The more the name is recognized, the more large and small banners and samurai under the daimyo clan will follow, and if there is no name, no one will follow, where is the strength?

And now, with the signing of Article 21 of Japan, Wang Gang and they know very well that the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate family and the people's morale will definitely plummet, and Japan is not the centralized power of the Manchu Empire, which is very important!

Well, from the hearts of the samurai class, the hearts of the commoners do not count......

It is conceivable that the Tokugawa family, which is basically equated with the traitorous pursuit of glory, and the local daimyo clan want to replace it, and the reason and name cannot be harder!

Therefore, Wang Gang and they felt that it was very necessary to strengthen the forces of the Tokugawa shogunate, the 21 articles had been signed, the reputation of the Tokugawa family was already notorious, and there was no other way than to follow the Han Empire all the way to the black, which is why the Tokugawa general knew that the odds of victory were weak, and he had to fight to the death!

Sending people under the fence and acting as a tool or something, it's not a person who is unwilling!

What's more, this is to press the fate of the entire family on the Han Empire!

It is obvious that the struggle of the Tokugawa Shogun did not achieve a good result, but only made the 21 articles signed and implemented more thoroughly, and even his own nest Edo was inhabited by the army of the Han Empire......

This is not an existential guard, but a real army! Once the Tokugawa family had no convulsions, the Han Empire troops stationed in Edo Castle could teach little Japan how to be a 'dog' in minutes......

This is why Mondora and Wang Gang supported the Tokugawa family to raise an army of tens of thousands by embezzling the daimyo reinforcements!

In this army, they will be sent into the Han Empire military observers, which are actually similar to the duties of the supervising army, and then transferred out to be ready to suppress possible rebellions at any time!

This shogunate army is also a guarantee that the 21 traitorous treaties signed and agreed by the Tokugawa shogunate can be perfectly fulfilled in Japan!

Many of the port cities ceded in the treaty were important territories of the Satsuma Domain and the Nagagawa Domain!

When the Tokugawa family was in power, they were unable to completely control those port cities, and Wang Gang and Mondora could also imagine with their butts what would happen if the orders of the Tokugawa family, who are now traitors, passed on......

Therefore, the order of the Tokugawa family is only a name, and as long as the other party does not agree, it will immediately be determined as a rebellion, and the army will drive over!

Well, this is a Japanese civil war, and the Han Empire will not participate in it, at most it will provide some 'military advice'.

In the eyes of Wang Gang and Mondora, tens of thousands of troops with war experience are quite a formidable force in Japan!

The Japanese civil war was fought to the death, Wang Gang and Mondora would not care about it, and the Japanese civil war had already been calculated before the expedition, and Zhao Dutian also liked to see the Japanese civil war very much, which could greatly weaken the dangerous samurai class that was brainwashed in Japan!

A country that has no resistance is a good Japanese dog! (To be continued.) )
