…

No one expected that the generals sent by Li Cun to recover Japan were neither Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Zhao Li, Li Yanxian, Wu Lu, Zhao Han'er, Kong Suanzi, Yang Yizhong, Wang Yan and other famous marshals, nor Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Wang De, Yang Zheng, Guo Hao, Wang Sheng, Wang Gui, Xie Yuan, Zhang Zigai, Zhao Pu and other second-class generals, but a young general named "Li Shifu".

Saying that Li Shifu is a young general is not necessarily true, after all, Li Shifu is now thirty-five years old, only six years younger than Yue Fei.

But in this case, why do you still call Li Shifu a young general?

Answer: It's just because Li Shifu debuted a little late.

Li Shifu was born into a family of generals in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and at the age of seventeen he joined the battle with his father Li Yongqi.

When the Great Qian Dynasty destroyed the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Qi conquered Yan'an, and Li Shifu and his father Li Yongqi were both captured by the Qianjun army.

Liu Qi had an old relationship with Li Yongqi and personally persuaded Li Yongqi to surrender.

Under Liu Qi's hard persuasion, Li Yongqi surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty with his family.

Li Shifu is also among them.

After entering the sequence of the cadre army, Li Shifu accompanied the cadre army to fight in the south and the north, and made many military exploits.

But—

Because when Li Shifu came to the Qianjun, Yue Fei and others had already become commanders, and he himself was not well-known in the Song army, which made him take so many years to barely climb to the position of ordinary commander.

Although the system is only one word away from the capital system, in fact, there is a gap between them.

Let's put it this way, the Daqian Dynasty has more than 500 controls, but there are less than 30 of them.

The key is that even if they are mixed, they are all in control, such as Zhang Xian, such as Niu Gao, such as Yang Zaixing, such as Yao Xing, such as Zhai Xing, they have not been able to become the commander of one party.

And Li Shifu was called by Li Cun to Beijing to teach face-to-face, Li Cun renamed Li Shifu "Li Xianzhong", and promoted Li Xianzhong to the deputy marshal of the Japanese army (Zhao Li, who was sitting in Jidi, was the marshal of the Japanese army), let Li Xianzhong be responsible for the military task of the Japanese army, and let the veteran Zhao Li give Li Xianzhong to watch the enemy's array.

In addition to appointing Li Xianzhong, a young general, as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese War, Li Cun also went on a killing spree on the Indochina Peninsula, and transferred Song Jiang and Wu Yong, who had almost killed all those people on the Indochina Peninsula who were unwilling to submit to the Daqian Dynasty, to Japan, and let the two of them serve as Xuanfu envoys and the other as envoys to the system.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong were the most famous evil stars of the Daqian Dynasty, and everywhere they went, there were rivers of blood, and even millions of corpses were ambushed.

It can be said that as long as Li Cun feels that people are not easy to conquer or difficult to govern, Li Cun will transfer Song Jiang and Wu Yong to deal with them.

For example, Li Cun asked Song Jiang and Wu Yong to deal with the original Dali State's 37 Wuban tribes that had repeatedly rebelled and surrendered, and after these two people went, they killed all those who refused to cooperate with the Daqian Dynasty's immigration policy, so that the 37 Wuban tribes were frightened, and all of them obediently moved to the cities built by the Daqian Dynasty for them to settle them, and the trouble that Dali had not been able to completely solve in the 200 years since the founding of the country was founded, so that these two people could completely solve it in less than half a year.

Such examples abound.

Goryeo, Jinguo, Western Xia, grassland, Tibet, and Indochina Peninsula have all had Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

It can be said that anyone who is unwilling to obey the resettlement policy of the Daqian Dynasty will eventually fall into the hands of Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and then it will become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the bloody rain will not dissipate for a long time.

Nowadays, Song Jiang and Wu Yong are famous, and adults use their names to scare children.

This time, Li Cun sent Song Jiang and Wu Yong to govern Japan, and the people of the Daqian Dynasty all felt that Japan was only afraid that it was going to fall into the big blood mold this time.

In addition, because this is a cross-sea operation, it must be indispensable for the naval army to cooperate in the operation.

After careful consideration, Li Cun sent the North Sea Army and the East China Sea Army to Japan, trying to destroy Japan with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

……

Soon after the Japanese army set out, Li Cun received battle reports from the front one after another.

——Putting aside the battle reports that the pro-army Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department would send Li Cun back to the front line every day and even every moment, Li Xianzhong was also an extremely careful person, no matter how busy he was, he would send Li Cun back a battle report every day (if he had time, Li Xianzhong would personally write a war report for Li Cun, and if he didn't have time, Li Xianzhong would ask the staff officer to write a war report on his behalf, and then stamp his own handsome seal. ）

The general course of this battle is:

On the first day of the sixth month of the 23rd year of Hongwu, the vanguard army of the Southern Route Cadre Army set out from Hepu (near Mashanpu in the later Zhenwan Bay), and successfully landed on Tsushima Island three days later, completely annihilating the Japanese defenders on the island.

On the evening of June 12, the commander Li Shu (one of Li Cun's sons) led more than 1,000 people to land on Iki Island, the Japanese guards led more than 100 cavalry to intercept and was completely annihilated, and the defenders then led more than 200 cavalry to fight fiercely with Li Shubu.

Li Shu is another person with great command talent among Li Cun's sons, and he joined the army for less than two years, and was promoted to commander by Li Xianzhong, who did not know his identity, and let him, who can fight well, serve as the vanguard officer of the First World War against Japan.

The next day, Dong Xian, the commander of the South Road Pioneer Army, who came later, personally led the South Road Pioneer Army to attack the city.

In just one meal, Tsushima City was completely broken by the vanguard army of the Southern Road Cadre Army, and the defending general saw this and chose to commit suicide with dignity.

The vanguard of the Southern Route Army, led by Dong Xian, then prepared to land at Hakata Bay.

Unfortunately, when the vanguard army of the South Road Cadre Army approached the coastal islands of Hizen, it was bravely resisted by the Hizen defenders.

After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Japanese army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties, and after the vanguard of the Southern Route Cadre Army successfully landed in Hakata Bay, it advanced to Imatsu.

The terrain here was not conducive to the deployment of large forces, and it was only a day's journey from Dazaifu in Japan, so Dong Xian withdrew to the ship that night and prepared to land again the next morning to launch an attack.

The next day, Dong Xian landed in Hakata Bay with the vanguard part of the South Road Cadre Army as the East and West Second Road.

Emperor Toba, who had already received the news that the cadres were coming to attack Japan, announced through the Imperial Court that the total number of Japanese samurai from the Kyushu countries was about 50,000, and he was ready to prevent the southern army from landing on Kyushu Island.

Dong Xian divided a 3,000-horse army led by Li Shu to land at Baidaoyuan, and the Japanese army sent 5,000 cavalry to meet the battle.

Li Shu led a 3,000-horse army to successfully land at Hakata Hakozaki in the eastern part of Hakata Bay, defeated the 5,000-strong defenders who took the initiative to meet the enemy, occupied the pine forest on the shore, and then attacked the main Japanese army from behind to fight against the vanguard army of the Southern Route Cadre Army led by Dong Xian at Hyakudaoyuan.

The main force of the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties from the enemy, and the rest retreated in the direction of Mizujo in Dazaifu.

After the first confrontation, Emperor Toba already knew the strength of the cadre army, so he urgently ordered that men under the age of 65 be recruited to serve as reserve soldiers in various places, and the monks and soldiers of various monasteries were also mobilized to defend the country and strengthen military construction.

At the same time, Emperor Toba also made a detailed division of labor among the samurai of various countries: the samurai of Shikoku and Kyushu strengthened their defenses locally; The samurai defense of the Chinese region can be called the perimeter defense and Nagato of the West Gate lock key, and is ready to support the anti-Japanese war of Shikoku and Kyushu at any time; Samurai from Gyeonggi and Kanto galloped to Kyoto's aid; The samurai of the Ou region must also be ready for battle at all times.

It is not difficult to see from the deployment of Emperor Toba that Emperor Toba has realized that this will be a battle for the country.

However, Emperor Toba was still a frog at the bottom of a well, and he didn't understand at all, even if they fought against Japan, they wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.

A few days later, Li Xianzhong led the main force of the Southern Route Cadre Army to attack Dazaifu.

Dazaifu is the local administrative body of Kyushu, Japan, which is equivalent to the local capital and the capital of Japan, and is the western capital of Japan that connects with the world.

In short, Dazaifu is extremely important to Japan, and there is no room for error.

Therefore, the Japanese imperial court had to organize an army of 100,000 to fight a decisive battle against the cadres.

In this battle, Li Xianzhong personally commanded, opened the way with red-coated cannons, and defeated the Japanese army, and finally less than 30,000 Japanese troops fled to Shikoku, and the rest of the Japanese troops were killed or captured, and Kyushu Island was thus drawn into the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

Li Xianzhong took Dazaifu as the rear of the cadre army in Japan, leaving the capital supervisor Zhang Goudan to sit here, and at the same time leaving Dong Xian to lead the vanguard army of the southern road cadre army to clear the remnants of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, and then continued to personally lead the main force of the southern cadre army to the north to attack Zhou Defense and Nagato, wanting to completely open the door to Japan.

Li Xianzhong divided another partial division, led by the veteran Wang Yu, to attack Shikoku Island.

-- If the cadres can capture Shimoshikoku Island, they will be able to counterattack the dangerous Zhou Defense and Nagato from behind.

In short, as long as the main force of the southern cadre army or the partial division can achieve victory along the way, Japan's gateway to the south will be opened.

It was only more than 20 days after the start of the war that such a great result was achieved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the cadres of the southern route were like a bamboo.

It should be noted that at the beginning of the war, in order to prevent accidents, Li Xianzhong also set up another insurance, that is, Li Bao, the capital of the Beihai Sea Army, and Zhang Xian, the general of the Great Cadres, led the Northern Route Cadres to land in northern Japan, and then fought from the north to the south.

There are actually some deviations here.

According to the original plan, Li Bao and Zhang Xian should have landed on the beach in the Okuba area of Japan.

However, due to the sudden appearance of an unexpected typhoon, the Hokkaido Army deviated northward, and finally the Hokkaido Army had to land in Ezo (later Hokkaido).

At this time, Ezo was not part of Japan, but was inhabited by the Ainu people, who were extremely backward, drank blood, and were divided into small groups by the local natives.

Seeing the invasion of foreign enemies, the small forces in Ezo launched attacks on the cadres one after another.

There is no suspense in such a war.

The process can be completely referenced to the war between the Europeans and the Indians, so the process will not be described in detail.

However, as far as the cadres are concerned, the real trouble is not the war, but the unfamiliarity with the road and language.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xian and the others almost searched through Ezo before they found a Japanese samurai who knew a little Chinese.

Under the leadership of this Japanese samurai, the North Route Cadre Army advanced to the south by land and water.

A few days later, the Kitaji Dry Army crossed the Tsugaru Strait and landed in Dewa Province.

At this time, the Ou region was actually the old indigenous division and autonomy before the conquest of the Japanese court, similar to the colonies of later generations, and in terms of civilization, the Ou region was slightly stronger than Ezo.

The North Road Cadres Army in the Ou area here completely appreciated the primitive society of the "simple style", the land is sparsely populated, slash-and-burn, wild beasts infested, even a slightly decent city can not be found, the image of the people, the living state of the people here, is not as good as the Jurchens before the rise.

Actually, this is also a very normal thing.

The birth of Japanese civilization was already in the second century AD.

The prototype of the Japanese imperial court was not formed until the sixth century.

The Heian period began in the 9th century.

Therefore, even if the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty vigorously imported the Central Plains culture to Japan, it is really a bit difficult for the Japanese to go directly to the stage of a unified feudal country by rocket from the primitive tribes of slash-and-burn cultivation and blood-drinking.

Just imagine what China in the Xia Dynasty should have been like, and you would not feel that the development of Japanese society in this era was sluggish.

What's more, although the country has not yet been truly unified, the aristocratic ministers who rule Japan have already decayed early.

They let go of the heavy responsibility of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and devoted themselves to the mountains and rivers, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, reciting poetry, studying calligraphy, and cultivating sentiments.

Therefore, Japan at this time was a deformed society that was completely disconnected from top to bottom, and the only civilized city was Kyoto, and the rest of the country was all poor and marginal areas.

In the future of the Kanto Plain, where the prosperous Tokyo is located, in the current Japanese concept, it is similar to the great northwest in the impression of our later Chinese, and the several famous samurai families that rose there were actually the production and construction corps sent by the Kyoto ministers to consolidate the frontier in the past.

These poor Japanese samurai had to fight against the attacks of separatist terrorists (primitive tribes such as soil spiders, Ezo people, etc.), and at the same time cultivate land to grow rice for self-sufficiency, and the conditions were extremely difficult.

As for the ministers who were sent here to serve as state ministers and other positions, they were basically equivalent to cadres who assisted the Great Northwest in later generations.

Of course, because the Ou region is already the frontier of Japan, there were actually more than 100,000 Japanese samurai stationed here.

However, some time ago, the Nanji Dry Army captured Kyushu Island, and is launching a fierce attack on Shubo, Nagato, and Shikoku Islands, causing the samurai in the Ou region to move south to Mutsu and be ready to support the battle in the south.

It is precisely because of this that the Northern Route Cadre Army can easily enter the Dewa Country.

The North Route Army soon occupied several key points and dangerous checkpoints in Dewa Province, and then continued south to Mutsu Province.

In Mutsu Province, the North Route Cadre Army encountered the first resistance in the true sense of the word.

On the Kanto Plain, 100,000 Japanese samurai wanted to fight a decisive battle with the North Route Army, which had only more than 30,000 troops.

-- The cadres of the North Route originally had 50,000 troops, but along the road, Zhang Xian left behind a lot of troops to guard important places and important passes, as well as to suppress the captured troops, so that the cadres of the North Route Army were sharply reduced by more than 10,000 horses.

The Japanese army wanted to fight a decisive battle, which was very much in line with the strategic purpose of a quick battle and a quick victory formulated by Li Xianzhong.

As a result, the two armies staged a one-sided Tokyo Massacre on the Kanto Plain.

In short, more than 30,000 cadres of the North Route relied on the oversized caliber of red-coated cannons on the warships of the Beihai Sea to kill 100,000 Japanese samurai without leaving a single piece of armor, and there were not even 10,000 people left alive.

In the end, except for two or three thousand Japanese samurai who fled to Gyeonggi and the southeastern part of the Kanto region by relying on their quick legs and unfamiliar with the terrain, the rest of the Japanese samurai who were lucky enough to survive were all broken and surrendered on their knees, and even many of them took the initiative to ask to be the leading party.

Under the leadership of a large group of Japanese traitors, the Northern Route Cadre Army successfully occupied several important areas and passes in Mutsu and continued to attack the Japanese Gyeonggi region in the south.

When Emperor Toba learned of this, he quickly sent people to organize samurai from Gyeonggi and the Kanto region to go to Nakono (later known as Nagoya) to resolutely resist the Northern Route Army.

At the same time, because of the perimeter defense and the natural danger of the long gate, which can be called the key to the west gate, the left army of the southern route army was blocked from the island and could not move forward.

The right army of the Southern Route Army was resolutely resisted by the samurai and monks on the island of Shikoku, and was unable to land on the island for a while.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that all of this is only temporary.

-- At present, only the Gyeonggi region, its core area, and the surrounding Shikoku Island, Nakono, and other places have not yet been captured by the cadre army, but the two armies of the cadre army in the north and south have already encircled the Gyeonggi region of Japan, and the two naval armies of the Daqian Dynasty are also attacking the major ports in the Gyeonggi region of Japan, and as long as one of these areas is successfully broken through by the cadre army, the Gyeonggi region of Japan may be in danger.

Forced by the military threat of the Qianjun army and the political pressure in Japan, Emperor Toba sent three waves of envoys to the Daqian Dynasty in succession, claiming that Japan was willing to cede all the areas south of Zhoufang, Nagato, and Shikoku Islands and north of Nakono to the Daqian Dynasty, and that the two sides would take the areas they now occupied as the national boundary between the two countries. Let them Japan and the Great Qian Dynasty forever be together......
