Chapter 280: The Ghost Lingers

The speed at which the situation in the Japanese state evolved far exceeded Zhao Hengyi's expectations.

Even Zhao Hengyi was extremely surprised by the speed of information dissemination in this era and the mobilization ability of those daimyos!

Zhao Hengyi, who was already gearing up in Hirado City, secretly wondered in his heart whether he could achieve such an efficient mobilization if he replaced Sanya Bay?

The answer is yes, but the logistical aspect will inevitably collapse, just like this time to come to the Japanese country to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and the follow-up needs to organize a special fleet to transport ammunition and supplies.

This is still the situation that Zhao Hengyi has laid down several big names and there is no shortage of grain and grass, if the grain and grass cannot be collected on the spot, then the pressure and dominance from the logistics will be more obvious!

The daimyo claimed to have a coalition army of 200,000, and according to Zhao Hengyi's estimate, the real number should be around 100,000.

After all, this is an era when the daimyo will recruit peasant soldiers without any psychological burden when they fight, and in terms of numbers alone, the riot soldiers are not difficult for these daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, but it is difficult to say how strong the combat effectiveness of such soldiers is.

But even so, Zhao Hengyi vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Those monks and daimyo were so efficient, as if they had been agreed upon before, and had been rehearsed countless times!

Could it be that since the Qiongzhou group training arrived at Hirado Port, these guys have been secretly preparing?

A certain familiar feeling made Zhao Hengyi's heart full of doubts, and he always felt that there was an invisible net behind all this, and the efficiency shown by the monks and daimyo was this invisible net, silently releasing energy!

It's really haunting.

Zhao Hengyi has a guess that the guys hiding behind the invisible net seem to have been testing themselves in some way.

And in the process of this temptation, the turmoil caused to the whole country, the suffering caused to the common people, those guys don't care at all!

Even if he has not really come into contact with the so-called gods, even if he has no intuitive understanding of this group, Zhao Hengyi still feels a cold and condescending attitude in this series of temptations!

Those lunatics really think of themselves as gods!

And the rest of the people are probably not much different from pigs, horses, cattle and sheep in their eyes, this is the arrogance of a higher-level creature, and the overlook of a higher-level life form...... But are these guys really as high as they appear?

Zhao Hengyi scoffed!

In his opinion, these so-called god-men are nothing more than madmen who indulge in the illusion they have created!

No matter how crazy a madman is in the face of fire guns and flying thunder cannons, he will not have one more life than normal people!

This is Zhao Hengyi's attitude, not to mention in the Wa Kingdom, even in the Great Yan Kingdom?

Zhao Hengyi doesn't bother to do such a thing as killing a hundred people, if he wants to do it, he will kill all the enemies who are pretending to be mysterious!

Such a means and such an idea, among those so-called gods, it is not an exaggeration to compete for the title of killing gods, right?

Under the attention of almost everyone in the entire Wa Kingdom, the coalition army organized by the daimyo was used in front of Hirado Castle with overwhelming momentum!

Almost all the daimyo of the entire Kyushu Island were present, and Zhao Hengyi felt strange, didn't these people think about a problem, once they failed, then the entire Kyushu Island would fall into a situation where the dragons were leaderless!

And until this moment, the three major sects still did not give Zhao Hengyi a crime.

According to the past practice, a name like the Demon King should have been added to Zhao Hengyi's body a long time ago.

Whatever the reason, it is clear from this that the monks are indeed much smarter than the daimyos!

Because the daimyo of Kyushu Island were gathered together, the excuse for conquest of Zhao Hengyi was that he destroyed the lord system and the land rent system, and corrupted the atmosphere of the Wa Kingdom!

Once they know that the reason for the outbreak of this war is simply because the farmers here in Hirado Castle do not have to pay rent or only pay 10% to 20% of the harvest, these peasants will probably turn back on the spot, and then kneel in front of Zhao Hengyi and beg him to allow him to own a piece of land near Hirado Castle!

Regardless of the number of external factors, the fundamental reason that really triggered the daimyo to participate so enthusiastically in the war against Zhao Hengyi was the theory of dividing fields that he asked Zhou Yonglin to promote around Hirado Castle!

Even though these daimyo could not clearly explain the ultimate power of the division of fields, the instinctive fear made them subconsciously choose the most correct means to maintain their rule!

In the Wa Kingdom, however, there was a case where a daimyo only collected 40% of the farmer's harvest as land rent, but was destroyed by his peers around him.

Forty percent of the local rent is enough to arouse the common hatred of the daimyos, and the theory of dividing the fields promoted by Zhao Hengyi is directly forfeited, and even the ownership of the fields is given away, how can these daimyos endure it?

On the other hand, in the face of the overwhelming enemy, the peasant association that Zhou Yonglin had worked so hard to set up before fell apart in an instant!

Those farmers who had not yet tasted the sweetness of dividing the fields into households chose to run away in advance with the cunning unique to the Japanese people, so that the area around Hirado Port was full of farmers with their families, which made Zhao Hengyi cry and laugh.

As for the so-called Belt and Road Party, it is not very common, it is not that these farmers of the Japanese country still have a conscience, just because the coalition of the daimyo thinks that all the guys who have been exposed to the theory of dividing fields have been polluted ideologically, no matter what kind of actions these polluted people take and what kind of stance they have, as long as they have seen it, as long as they know that there is such a thing as dividing fields, they should be killed as soon as possible!

In other words, if the Daimyo's coalition forces win this battle, there will never be a single living person to be found in the few territories around Hirado Castle!

As for the Hirado Port, which the Matsuura family has bothered to run for several generations, it is bound to be ruined!

Such a straightforward act made the merchants of the Wa Kingdom make their own choices with their feet.

These merchants of the Wa Kingdom were more enthusiastic than the caravans of the Great Yan Kingdom, and it was a trivial matter to help transport supplies and supplies, and some even offered to provide Zhao Hengyi with food and silver.

After all, most of the roots of these Japanese merchants are in Hirado Port, and once Hirado Port is destroyed, then everything they have accumulated will be turned to ashes!

However, even if the caravans of the Great Yan Kingdom did not have the port of Hirado, they could choose other ports of the Japanese Kingdom to continue to make money, so except for the fleet of the Tang family, the other caravans chose to evacuate temporarily, even if they drove their own ships out of the port and drifted on the sea, it was enough for everyone to feel at ease.

After all, those Japanese people, the so-called 200,000 army can't hit the sea!

In the roar of the flying thunder cannon, a war that can affect the future direction of Kyushu Island has begun!
