Chapter 296: The Ceiling of the Combat Power of the Wa Kingdom
How powerful was the shogunate, which had actually ruled the Wa Kingdom for nearly 100 years? How many troops can be assembled?
These are these questions, even the daimyo who are attacking each other can't be clear.
More than once, the powerful daimyo sought their way to Kyoto and attempted to challenge the shoguns of the shogunate in order to replace him.
However, the shogunate won the final victory, and the shogun's position was passed down from generation to generation.
Against this backdrop, replacing the shoguns of the shogunate as the people of the world is the ultimate and most glorious ambition of all the daimyo in their hearts!
Correspondingly, the impression of the invincibility of the shogunate was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.
Even the emperor and the imperial family, eager to overthrow the shogunate and return to power, timidly fell silent when the Qiongju Danryo actually appeared around the land of Gyeonggi.
The emperor and the imperial family, who had been raised as mascots for more than 100 years, have long since become guts quails.
When the Qiongzhou regiment was stationed at Hirado Castle, after revealing to the outside world the intention of the Qing monarch to return power to the emperor, the emperor and the imperial family were also eager to send messengers to contact Zhao Hengyi.
However, when the soldiers of the Qiongzhou regiment appeared near the land of Gyeonggi, the emperor and the imperial family, who had been raised as quails, only dared to tremble in the company of the chamberlains and palace maids.
Zhao Hengyi didn't care if the so-called royal bloodline could survive, so the shogunate, which kept the imperial family and the emperor in captivity like fat pigs, didn't care even more.
To put it bluntly, the bloodline of the heavens, the heirs of the gods left in the world, are all just tricks to fool the ordinary people and the common people.
The shogun, who was in a high position, would never care about these legends, as long as he wanted to, he could completely make the lowliest beggar change his face and become the new emperor with the blood of the gods.
In this chaotic era, all the rules and bottom lines have been broken countless times, and all the methods that seem unbelievable to the future world have been staged in turn.
All the eyes of the forces were once again focused on Cho Hyung-yi and his Qiongzhou regimental training, waiting for a decisive showdown between him and the shogun's generals.
What happened in the Wa Kingdom has already been reported back to China by the maritime merchants of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the recital of attacking Zhao Hengyi has slowly appeared in the court, but none of this is important.
For the elders in the court, the Wa Kingdom was too far away, and even the civil official group experienced the helplessness beyond the reach of the whip.
Qiongzhou group training, even in the Great Yan Kingdom, is a wonder.
This is an armed group nominally under the control of the imperial court, and since its inception, it has not taken a grain from the hands of the imperial court or received a penny of military salary.
The civilian clique's usual methods of controlling military generals are not of the slightest use in Qiongzhou regimental training.
Even the bosses who had been focusing their attention on Concubine Chen's family of officials suddenly discovered that the Qiongzhou Tuanlian, which had become more and more powerful in the midst of the twists and turns, had unknowingly grown into a terrifying force that could influence the situation in the tributary countries!
On the contrary, by mistake, everyone has no means to check and balance this terrifying force, let alone firmly hold it in the hands of the imperial court!
Martial arts chaos government!
This word, which is on the lips of the civilian clique every day, finally appeared in a practical form in everyone's sight, but no one dared to mention this word that broke the backbone of the military generals at this time......
This has to be said to be a great irony.
For those maritime merchants who impeached Zhao Hengyi through various means, the court rarely showed an extremely cautious attitude.
In addition to a few officials who said a few words lightly, the Marquis of Qiongzhou privately interfered in the internal affairs of the Japanese, and there was inevitably a suspicion of self-inflicted royal means......
Even this kind of light and fluttering voice was quickly suppressed by the officials of Concubine Chen's family!
At this time, Concubine Chen and the officials surrounding her were in the most complicated mood.
The stronger the loyal Zhao Hengyi and his Qiongzhou regiment, the louder the voice of Concubine Chen in the court, but these guys actually couldn't figure out Zhao Hengyi's thoughts.
Everyone is born as a scholar, and everyone has an account in their hearts about such a thing as being loyal to the emperor and the court.
Everyone is familiar with the word "treacherous loyalty", but the number of the Qiongzhou Marquis, which has never appeared in the past three hundred years, is indistinguishable for a while.
But at the moment, as the most powerful and capable minister in Concubine Chen's family, no one can shake the status of the Marquis of Qiongzhou!
As long as this Hou Ye, who knows how to train soldiers, does not rebel with great fanfare, the officials of Concubine Chen's family will desperately defend him!
Without him, it is just a matter of profit.
And those civilian-official groups that were wary of Zhao Hengyi and Qiongzhou's regimental training had to become cautious after truly and in detail understanding the strength of Qiongzhou's regimental training.
This is an armed force that can defeat the iron cavalry of the tough barbarians head-on, this is an armed force that can easily defeat the ten divisions of the giant Kou Ghost Fang that has been a disaster in the East China Sea for nearly ten years, and this is an armed force that crushes the 100,000 Daimyo coalition army with 2,000 people in the Wa Kingdom!
Such an armed force can only be carefully appeased, and it must not be separated from the imperial court!
Balancing and appeasing are the means that the civil officials of the Great Yan Kingdom are best at, and all kinds of rewards are sent to Sanya Bay under the unbelievable gaze of the maritime merchants, and even Miao Xiaoyu has become the lady of Yipin!
In order to appease Zhao Hengyi and Qiongzhou, the civil officials of Hou Hou Jue didn't even want the face of the imperial court.
However, the court and officials of the Great Yan Kingdom, in the process of the barbarians fighting the grass valley again and again, have long had no face to speak of, and some means are just to commend the merits of the Marquis of Qiongzhou to exterminate the Japanese Kou, which is nothing.
Anyway, it is the court and the official family that are disgraced, and they are not civil officials who cherish their reputation, so it really doesn't matter.
And the young officials themselves didn't say anything, after all, under the pillow wind of Concubine Chen, Zhao Hengyi, the general of Qiongzhou and Jinghai, has long been a loyal representative, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a model for hundreds of officials and nobles.
The decline of a dynasty is often accompanied by countless fantasy dramas, and Dayan Kingdom is no exception.
Zhao Hengyi, who was far away in Gyeonggi, did not know the ups and downs of the court of the Great Yan Kingdom, and he was now facing an army of 50,000 organized by the shogunate.
Due to the rush of time, the shogunate's army was not fully recruited, but this number was only 50,000, which was by no means comparable to the 100,000 allied troops that the daimyo of Kyushu Island had improvised together!
Even among these 50,000 troops, there are 5,000 elites at the bottom of the box pressed by the shogun!
This army is already the ceiling of the entire Wa Kingdom, as long as it is penetrated, from now on, the Qiongzhou regiment will be invincible in the territory of the Wa Kingdom!
