The Daomen Qizhou Base Camp and the Xiujing Xing Camp had five clear operational objectives for the February Offensive.

First, the complete seizure of Ise territory and the completion of effective occupation.

Second, by conquering the Ise region, it will pose a strategic threat to the Heikyo region, and the overall situation will shift from defensive to offensive.

Third, by besieging and blockading the forces of the Zunzao faction in Ise and luring the Zunzao faction in other regions to come to the rescue, and then implementing a strategy of encirclement and reinforcement, effectively killing and injuring the living forces of the Zunzao faction.

Fourth, destroy the Ise Jingu Shrine and cooperate with various propaganda methods to severely damage the prestige of the Heavenly Gate and shake the foundation of the Heavenly Gate.

Fifth, in the process of marching into Ise, we will open up the various prefectures and counties along the way, connect the dots into a line, and connect the lines into a surface, ending the situation of dogs and teeth in the areas east of Ise and west of Musashi.

The February offensive, named "Dragon Raising Head", was also the first large-scale offensive after the Daomen counterinsurgency army landed on Fenglin Island.

It can be seen that the key to the "dragon raising its head" lies in the Ise battlefield, which is roughly divided into three steps: besieging Ise, striking reinforcements, and finally occupying it. This is also the Qingwei Zhenren asking Qi Xuansu to immediately take over the Tuyumen Flow Onmyoji to surrender???????????????? The key reason for Suzuka Gozen is that when necessary, the Domon needs to have a "nail" located in the hinterland of Ise.

The reason is very simple, the army is not an arrow from the string, but a flying kite, the kite line is the logistics supply line, how far the kite can fly, it all depends on how long the kite line is. When the army advances, it is necessary to constantly conquer the city, and cannot bypass it, because bypassing a city is to bury a nail in the rear, which can cut off the logistics line at light, or cut off the back road, or cut off the way of reinforcements, so generally speaking, it cannot be bypassed.

The Daomen army marched all the way west and conquered all the cities along the way, which was to pull out all the nails and ensure the smooth flow of the logistics line.

At the same time, Domon also intends to "build" a nail in the territory of Ise.

The successful surrender of the Domen to Suzuka Gozen is equivalent to an unconquered city belonging to the Domen in Ise out of thin air, which will make the Zun faction in Ise like a fish in the throat, and it is necessary to guard against the forces of Suzuka Mountain at all times, and even the Domen can parachute into Suzuka Mountain through air superiority and complete a central flowering. Its strategic importance is very important.

Ise Jingu was also aware of this, so after the Onmyoji of the Tsuchigomonryu revealed his intentions, he would directly attack Mt. Suzuka at any cost, severely damaging the forces of Suzuka Gozen and Mt. Suzuka.

On February 13, Qi Xuansu sent back the news of Suzuka's return to the Daomen through a small "signal array" that he carried with him.

Compared with the Zimu Symbol, the "Signal Array" that can only transmit words is not convenient, but its advantage is that the transmission distance is longer and it is not easy to be disturbed, even if the yin qi of Ise is full of heaven today, Qi Xuansu can still barely transmit the message. Under the same circumstances, the "child and mother symbols" will be blocked by the yin qi.

After receiving the news of Linglu Mountain's return to the Daomen, Qingwei Zhenren sent Qi Xuansu a basket from a second-grade fellow Taoist through the "Signal Charm Array" and asked him to transfer it to Suzuka Yuqian.

Strictly speaking, only the Great Sect can issue a first-grade Tongdaoist-born Gongqi, and only the Deputy Zhangjiao Dazhenren can issue a second-grade Tongdaoist-born Gongmu. Although Qingwei Zhenren is a real person who knows and is one of the three "princes", he is still a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and he has no right to issue a second-grade Taoist priest, which was issued by the national teacher himself.

Inside the Daomen, the number of first-grade fellow Taoists does not exceed the number of first-hand people, and the number of second-grade fellow Taoists who are second only to the first-grade fellow Taoists is also a handful, and the origin of this level of fellow Taoists also comes with a real name, just like the emperor of the Daxuan Imperial Court is also not a Taoist, but he also has a great real name, which can be said to be a great sincerity.

Qi Xuansu handed over this piece of the same Taoist priest to Suzuka Gozen and explained the meaning in detail, but Suzuka Gozen was still quite shocked.

As far as she knows, the real person in charge of Fenglinzhou Daofu is only a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, but she is regarded as the "emperor" of Fenglinzhou, she now has a second-grade fellow Taoist background, and when she sees the real person in Fenglinzhou's mansion, she may be inferior in power, but because she is half a guest, she does not have to stick to the difference in position, but her status is equal. Even if she made any mistakes, if the Fenglinzhou Daofu wanted to deal with her, she had to ask Jin Que first, in a sense, this was still a talisman.

Qi Xuansu joked: "In the future, I will also call Suzuka Zhenren." ”

Suzuka Imperial Front solemnly accepted it and asked Qi Xuansu to convey her gratitude.

???????????????? According to the instructions of Qingwei Zhenren, Qi Xuansu left another "Signal Talisman Array" that he carried with him to Suzuka Gozen and told him how to use it. In fact, with the pseudo-immortal ability of Suzuka Gozen, there is nothing that will not be used, but there are different arrangements between different "signal rune arrays". The so-called 殄文, also known as "ghost book", "anti-book", "water book", is a text specially written for the dead, the number is not much, the main content is the twenty-eight nights, the eight trigrams and the nine palaces, the heavenly stem and the earth branch, the sun and the moon five stars, the five elements of yin and yang, sixty jiazi, four times and five squares, the seven yuan calendar system, is also an important part of some special talismans, and is now used as a ciphertext by the Daomen.

Qi Xuansu mainly told Suzuka Imperial Front that it corresponded to the Qing Wei Zhenren's inscription arrangement, and from then on, Suzuka Imperial Front only had a single contact with Qing Wei Zhenren, and was only under the specific command of Qing Wei Zhenren.

This is also reasonable, a pseudo-immortal like Suzuka Gozen has his own arrogance, even if he is a Shun Daomen, he is never willing to be called by someone casually. Qingwei Zhenren is different, in terms of realm cultivation, there is a strength comparable to that of an immortal, in terms of status and future, it is expected to become the seventh generation of the Great Palm Sect, and the worst can also replace the national teacher to become the Great True Person of Taiping Dao, which is completely acceptable to Suzuka Imperial Palace.

At noon on February 14, Qingwei Zhenren officially issued a blockade order.

At the same time, the power of the Ise's Zun faction began to shrink across the board.

On the fifteenth day of February, the Daomen army marched into Duoqi County, and within an hour, successively defeated more than ten shrines, camphouses, feudal castles, and strongholds, and completely occupied Duoqi County.

On the 15th of February, the Daomen stopped the attack and issued a notice to reassure the people.

All civilians stranded in the territory of Duoqi County, as long as they obey the dispatch and command of the Daomen, the Daomen can guarantee their personal safety and property safety. All the captured members of the Heavenly Gate, as long as they repent and turn against each other, can also be retained after being screened, and if they are meritorious people, they can also be given the official status of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the same day, the Grand Duke Maginot, the representative of the company of Si Po Chau, invited him to meet with the real man in charge of the army. Qingwei Zhenren politely rejected this request and appointed Li Tiangang, the deputy head of the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion, to come forward to contact him on his behalf.

Maginot expressed the Holy See's concern about the war in Fenglinzhou.

Li Tiangang stated the position of the Daomen: since ancient times, Fenglinzhou has been a vassal of the Central Plains, and the war in Fenglinzhou is the internal affairs of the Daomen, and the Holy Court has neither the need nor the qualifications to be concerned, and the Holy Court should clarify the boundaries of the two sides, and any act of crossing the line will be regarded as a provocation by the Daomen, and cause the Daomen to reciprocate and counterattack.

Maginot didn't insist too much, after all, this was the sphere of influence of the Daomen, and even if the Holy Court had any dissatisfaction, he was unable to express his dissatisfaction, but turned to ask about the business he was most concerned about.

With the discovery of the New World, Westerners built a large number of plantations and mines in the New World, and most of the people who worked in the plantations and mines at the beginning were indentured laborers, who were poor immigrants from Western countries across the ocean, and these people signed contracts with plantation owners or overseas labor companies in their original places of residence, and after arriving in the New World, they used several years of labor to pay for their travel expenses, and after the contract expired, they became freemen.

With the development of plantations, there was a serious shortage of labor, so the Western countries had to find new sources of labor, and the uncivilized natives became the main objects of their hunting for labor. The use of slave labour on plantations or mines was much cheaper and easier to manage than the use of indentured labour. So the slave trade ???????????????? It is easy to become a profitable business and prosper.

In the early days of the slave trade, Westerners organized so-called "hunting teams" to raid slaves themselves, raid indigenous villages, burn down houses, tie up natives and escort them to slave ships anchored on the shore, often trampling peaceful and peaceful indigenous villages into desolate ruins overnight.

However, they soon found that this method was too inefficient and too costly, so they changed their methods and resorted to using firearms and gunpowder to lure certain tribal chiefs in the coastal areas, instigating them to attack the interior and instigating wars between tribes, so that they could capture the people of the other tribe and sell them to slave traders. Due to the instigation of Western countries, this kind of "slave hunting war" between tribes flourished for a while.

The company is one of the best in this, and it can be described as notorious.

They knew that the Great Xuan Imperial Court and the Daomen were not engaged in the slave trade, so they found a business opportunity in this Fenglin Continent war.

In Maginot's view, the war inevitably brought a large number of prisoners, which was a headache, after all, the Orientals had always believed in the idea that "killing prisoners is ominous", but these prisoners could not be released at will, so as not to cause greater turmoil and impact the fragile post-war order.

And they, the Si Po Chau Company, will solve the problem of captives for the noble Oriental friends. The Domen received the money to make up for the war, and they were able to transport the captives to the New World, where they would spend the rest of their lives as slaves on plantations and mines.

Moreover, compared with those uncivilized indigenous slaves, these Fenglinzhou people are more suitable for some technical work, and there are even craftsmen among them, which are incomparable to those natives.

In the words of the Orientals, this is a good thing for both parties, and it can also be said that everyone takes what they need.

After Li Tiangang listened to Maginow's request, he sternly refused: "My Celestial Dynasty is rich in products, and it can trade tea, silk, porcelain, and other bulk goods, but it does not sell people. ”

Maginot came in high spirits and returned disappointed.

However, he was keenly aware of one point, this Fenglinzhou war was not a simple rebellion, the Daomen won the hearts of the people and attacked the nobles, in order to take this opportunity to completely incorporate Fenglinzhou into the tributary system of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty and make it a permanent vassal state.
