The occupation of Hokkaido was the complete occupation of the entire Kanto region of Japan, and due to the plundering policy adopted by Xiao Ming, a large number of Kanto nobles and samurai fled to the Kansai region, and the Tsugaru Strait was the closest contact between Hokkaido and Honshu Island, and a large number of fishing boats gathered to carry the fleeing people into Honshu Island.

After Xiao Ming learned about it, he immediately sent warships to blockade the Tsugaru Strait, intercepting a large number of personnel, materials and wealth, Japan's silver deposits are very rich in this Kanto region, so Xiao Ming temporarily needs to stabilize the entire eight countries of the Kanto region, there are very few local officials of the Japanese court here, so that the exchange of faith and government between local governments is very outdated, and its willingness is related to the two rebellions that occurred in the Kanto region.

In the thirties of the 10th century, two major rebellions took place at about the same time: the Heishomon Rebellion and the Fujiwara Juntomo Rebellion. The former occurred in the 5th year of Chengping, and the latter occurred in the 2nd year of Tianqing, and the Ping Jiangmen belonged to the Huanwuping clan and settled in the general place, only because of the internal strife of the same clan, the imperial court intervened. To this end, he gathered the Kwantung samurai who rebelled against the national government to drive out the governor of the northeastern part of the Kanto region, and in the fourth year, in 939 AD, he declared the independence of the eight kingdoms of Kanto, built a palace on Shimoso Sarushima, and proclaimed himself the new emperor.

The panicked Imperial Court immediately sent an army to conquer it, but when the campaign arrived, the rebellion had been quelled by Fujiwara Hidego, the envoy of the Taira clan's clan, Taira Sadamori, and Shimono Oshi, both local samurai. Fujiwara Juntomo was the "rafter" (third-class official) of the Iyu Kingdom, and in the 5th year of Seihei, he led more than 1,000 ships to launch a rebellion, attacked the capitals of Awaji and Sanki, and entered the Kyushu Dazaifu, where he was quelled by Genkeiji.

After these two incidents, Emperor Uta realized that not only was the imperial court incompetent, but the combat effectiveness of the army could not beat the samurai in the Kanto region, and from then on he had to rely too much on the local samurai class, which was also the reason for the rise of the Taira clan and the Genji family.

After occupying all of Hokkaido, Xiao Ming anchored his fleet at the fishing port of Hakodate and continued to blockade the Tsugaru Strait, while he rested throughout Hokkaido while waiting for news of the war on Takematsu's side, since he had large warships to travel between Kyushu and Hokkaido, it usually took two or three days to get the news.

At the same time, Xiao Ming continued to implement the emancipation policy in the local area, and the local wealthy families and large landowners, as well as the Ming lords of the Eight Kingdoms, after seeing Xiao Ming's powerful land and sea military strength, were finally unable to flee the local area, so they were just like before, and more and more local village lords and famous lords in the Kanto region sent land to Xiao Ming as they had done with the Fujiwara clan in the past, asking for protection.

Xiao Ming accepted all the orders for this, and he had to further seek Ding Jianpeng's opinion on the matters planned in Japan, so he sent a sea ship to Shuri of the Ryukyus to tell Ding Jianpeng about his plan to occupy the Japanese archipelago and his next thoughts, hoping to get his opinion.

Eight days later, Xiao Ming's envoy returned to Sapporo and brought Ding Jianpeng's letter to Xiao Ming, in which Ding Jianpeng gave three suggestions to Xiao Ming's plan, the first of which was to ask him to quickly calibrate the flight of the flying kite in Japan, so as to facilitate the transmission of news at any time.

The second point is to warn Xiao Ming that the characteristic of the Japanese nation is that it likes to go to extremes, either bowing down to you, or being tyrannical to the end, so it is recommended that Xiao Ming not adopt a colonial policy against it, but cooperate with his entire great immigration policy to disperse all the inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago.

The third and most important point is to warn Xiao Ming not to have the kindness of a woman! If you want to accomplish the great deeds in his heart, you can't be emotional when doing things, and anything that can change your emotions can't be blindly moved and angry, and you must treat it calmly, which is the most important.

The Japanese archipelago is very important for Xiao Ming to complete the plan of the entire circle of influence around the sea, and any instability in this area will cause him to fail in this important link, Xiao Ming knows this, and originally wanted to implement this plan slowly, but after reading Ding Jianpeng's letter, Xiao Ming finally made up his mind.

Xiao Ming was dispatched in the center of Hokkaido, a small transport ship departed from Port Arthur and rushed to Hokkaido to establish a flight docking landmark for the flying kite, and there were many craftsmen on board, which was used to establish a port base in Hakodate, once the flying kite could be used, Xiao Ming immediately ordered to emigrate!

This time the migration is still based in Liaodong, but the main target is not the Han people, but all the Jurchen people who still remain in Liaodong! The people who are accustomed to herding and hunting suddenly live on the island, the discomfort caused by that is obvious is obvious, but Xiao Ming doesn't care about these at all, people always have to adapt to the environment, let the environment adapt to you?

Besides, aren't the Jurchens who are now hiding in the reserve of Taebaeksan Mountain in Goryeo gradually adapting? Rather than being killed by the Mongols when the Dajin Kingdom was destroyed in a few decades, it would be better to be relocated to live on the island of Oshima in Japan, so the first stage was to basically move all the Jurchens in the Taebaeksan Reserve in Goryeo.

Xiao Gan and Wu Yong, who stayed in Liaodong, heard that all the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong were going to be removed, but they didn't have any opinions, anyway, when it came to the second stage, as many as 500,000 people would be emigrated from Shandong and other places to Liaodong, and there should still be enough manpower to open up the entire hinterland of Liaodong, so it would be better to remove those Jurchens who would cause instability first!

At the same time, on the land in the northeastern part of Liaodong that has been taken by Xiao Ming, the tribes of the Jurchens will all be removed, but although the population on the large island of Japan is not large, the number left will be limited, so the immigration has become a two-way street, Xiao Ming got in touch with Kang Jing through the flying kite, and asked how the population migration plan in the northwest region is being implemented?

After learning that the areas bordering Tibet in Kang and Tibet and Hexi and other places had the least number of immigrants, after all, the natural environment there was very harsh, so although there was a policy of land donation, there were not many people who were willing to go, Xiao Ming decided to emigrate the Japanese to that place, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to prepare and receive work.

As a result, merchant ships and fishing boats from Hangzhou, Weihai, and Liaodong were requisitioned again, and Xiao Ming began to forcibly move the Japanese islanders inland, and those untouchables who had just divided their land and property were certainly not the targets of this forced emigration, but a large number of nobles and commoners were the targets of this immigration.

This will undoubtedly be strongly resisted by these people, Xiao Ming will naturally not be moved by it, and dare to resist and resolutely suppress it, but for those samurai class, it is different, once these people resist, they will be directly characterized as prisoners of war, in addition to forced suppression, they will become a large number of prisoners of war transported to Liaodong and other places for engineering construction.

Xiao Ming had more than enough to control Hokkaido with an army of tens of thousands of men, but this was not his final approach to Japan, after all, he needed to land on the entire island of Honshu and deal a devastating blow to the Japanese regime, his warships and merchant ships and fishing boats sailed from both sides of the island nation into the port to transport a large number of ores, gold, silver and people, while Japan's own surface forces were completely annihilated at the first appearance.

As the time gradually entered the autumn, Takematsu in Kyushu finally began to make a large-scale move, before he actually began to recruit troops on Kyushu Island, killing and conscripting local samurai and civilians in Kyushu for nominally rebelling against the tyranny of Emperor Taira's regency, and began to expand the port.

Why did Wu Song do this, in fact, Xiao Ming learned from the letter written by Wu Song that he was really weak in troops and had no logistical support, and the reason why he wanted to do this was to ensure that the logistics support and transportation after he landed on the island were handed over to the local Japanese troops in Kyushu.

This is understandable, and Xiao Ming agrees with this, and the reason why he has been slow to move in Hokkaido is also to wait for Wu Song's action, and it is now September, and Wu Song has successfully landed on Honshu Island at the end of August, and is approaching the basic port in the interior of Honshu Island near the Seto Inland Sea.

So Xiao Ming ordered to cross the Tsugaru Strait and land in Honshu, and the 30,000 troops needed to carry all horses and artillery supplies, and it took three days to avoid the strait.

In addition to occupying the largest mountains and territories in his state, the Mutsu Daimyo also had the most retainers and samurai, so Xiao Ming estimated that the resistance he might encounter this time would be fierce, so he ordered the troops to start a wide range of intersperses, not to worry about some small towns along the way, not to care about those densely populated villages, and to block the roads of the mountains as soon as possible.

On the one hand, they sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to seek cooperation, and on the other hand, they moved the personnel and property of the five feudal states near Hokkaido to the direction of Kyoto, especially the samurai and poor people, thinking that the news from Kanto was too terrible, and the Song people actually loaded all the people into ships and transported them to the sea to drown!

Panic is spreading everywhere in the whole state, although Ping Qingsheng has already communicated with Xiao Ming through the messenger, but what he got is Xiao Ming's angry questioning, why do you want to murder him, the first time you use a fake fog to hide the thunder period, and now you want to harm him, it is unbearable or unbearable, Xiao Ming refuses all the possibility of peace talks.

Ping Qingsheng had no choice but to wait for the reply of the Great Song Dynasty, on the one hand, he was strong and clear, and on the other hand, he organized the army to prepare for a counterattack! , but after Xiao Ming found out that the other party had withdrawn, he retreated instead, and he relied on the Aomori fishing port across the Tsugaru Strait as a base to start the movement to liberate the untouchables again!

And Xiao Ming's other army, in the country of Dewa captured a large number of daimyo retainers and samurai, this is the result of the other party hiding in a water city and persisting in not leaving, with the help of the government from the sea to the Kansai region, but when the range retreated, it was also blocked by Xiao Ming's warships in the sea.

Because of this group of captives, Xiao Ming immediately began to build the fishing port dock of Aomori, because there is a large inland sea in Aomori across the Tsugaru Strait, Aomori Port has become a very good natural harbor, but Xiao Ming is worried about what will happen in winter, but at this stage it is important to consolidate the warship base in Honshu Port.

But the captives composed of these retainers and warriors brought a lot of trouble to Xiao Ming......!
