This trouble is very obvious, and that is the non-cooperation of the samurai class and the nobility! At the top of Japanese society today are the nobles and lords, the officials of the imperial court, then the retainers and large landowners, big merchants, and monks of temples who are attached to these people, followed by the commoners, and then the untouchables.

Although the samurai are attached to the nobility and nominally belong to the lords and nobles' retainers, they still have a very high status in front of the poor and untouchables.

The old man became a prisoner, and he had to do heavy manual labor in front of the untouchables in the past, and the first to be unwilling were those samurai and retainers, which was undoubtedly an insult to them, so after the Tiger Guard soldiers started to punish, this group of people took the lead in launching a riot!

Although this kind of thing happened, Xiao Ming can understand it, but these people resist and resist, they actually destroy the tools on the construction site, kidnap the guards, and even kill the untouchables who help on the construction site, this is a very excessive move, Xiao Ming ordered severe punishment and will not tolerate it!

In order not to spread the situation, Xiao Ming naturally would not be merciful to these people, and the heavily armed tiger guard soldiers immediately blocked the mine, and according to the report of his subordinates, the leader was a guy named Sado Uemon! There were two soldiers who were kidnapped, and when Xiao Ming rushed over, Sado Uemon was negotiating with the tiger guard with the hostages.

Xiao Ming was very impatient to see this scene, one of the battalion commanders who led the team lost face in front of Xiao Ming, and was even more angry, Xiao Ming gave Guo Shouxin a look, the latter immediately took the order, raised his gun to aim, with a gunshot, the hostage-taking warrior was suddenly shot in the head, and before the warriors could react, the second gunshot rang out again.

The tiger guards who had been prepared for a long time pounced on them with a shout, and quickly snatched the two captured hostage soldiers, and the warriors saw this situation and shouted and fought with the tiger guards, but because they did not have the weapons in their hands, they were immediately killed by several tiger guard soldiers!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sado Uemon led the remaining samurai to fight and retreat, and gradually hid in a warehouse, and there were exactly a dozen untouchables who helped the construction site in that warehouse, and this time they became hostages in the hands of the other party, and the tiger guards wanted to attack in one go, but Xiao Ming stopped them.

If you attack now, this is not a solution, these warriors are not the opponents of the Tiger Guard at all, it is not difficult to kill them all, you can do it by throwing grenades inside, but this will undoubtedly kill the untouchable hostages inside, and the kind of good reputation that Xiao Ming has just established will be lost, so he ordered to stop.

Xiao Ming inquired, the situation of this Sado Uemon is mainly whose retainer samurai he belongs to? In the end, I learned that this person was a retainer samurai of Miyamoto Heisheng, the daimyo of Dewa Country, Xiao Ming immediately asked people to tell him about this Miyamoto Heisheng, Miyamoto is currently working in the coal storage yard next to him, and he is old and can only do some work within his ability.

After Miyamoto was found, Xiao Ming wanted to inquire about the situation and then deal with it, but on the contrary, there was no need to be so troublesome, he ordered to take Miyamoto directly to the front of the warehouse and let him kneel on the ground, and the tiger guard next to him drew his saber and asked the descendants to shout inside, if Sado Uemon did not surrender, he would directly kill Miyamoto in front of him.

This is a test of Sado Uemon's loyalty, if Sado Uemon does not surrender, then it is not good, and Miyamoto has to be killed on the spot! However, when Sado Uemon saw his master kneeling on the ground, and Tiger Guard's steel sword was next to his head, he decided to surrender, and he led the crowd out of the warehouse, and after letting go of the hostages, he committed suicide directly at the door of the warehouse.

Since Sado Uemon committed suicide, he thought that the samurai led by him also knelt down and surrendered, and Xiao Ming saw that the incident was resolved, so he ordered to go back, and Miyamoto was released! The men asked what to do with the samurai who surrendered? Xiao Ming's face was gloomy and he gave the order, all of them were beheaded and corrected!

Subsequently, he strengthened the supervision of the captives, and because he found that most of the retainers and warriors were still loyal to their noble masters, Xiao Ming took measures, and those who did not obey the discipline and did not work honestly would be punished by their masters, and also took measures to starve them! In the face of hunger, many people finally began to be honest!

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of September, the construction of the port was basically completed, in order to cooperate with Wu Song's military operation in the Kansai region, Xiao Ming finally decided to continue the military operation, the key is that Xiao Ming wanted to end the entire expedition in Japan before the winter came, he said to his subordinates: "I hope to destroy Fusang within three months!" Now there is only one month left, you work hard! ”

Xiao Ming's army began to move south on a large scale, this time the supplies were all very well prepared, he learned that Wu Song was blocked in the area of Nagamen and Anyi in the Eight Divisions of Shanyang, and the two had decided to meet in Nara within ten days, but now it seems that the plan cannot be implemented, and Xiao Ming must speed up the pace.

Autumn in Japan is very beautiful, the weather is also very good, but the road is full of Xiao killing atmosphere, a team of red-clothed ironclad warriors riding war horses to the west, spears and sabers, as the striker Yang Qizhong was entrusted with a heavy responsibility this time, he is responsible for the six divisions of Oshu Rikuzen, Luchu, Hazen, Yugo, Iwashiro, Iwajo, Iwaki all take.

Accompanying Yang Qizhong was Han Lingshou, the two of them walked in the middle of the team, followed by the artillery unit that was a little sluggish, Yang Qizhong originally wanted Yelusha's heavy artillery, but he considered that this time it was mainly a light cavalry assault, so he brought all the infantry guns at will.

When the team marched to the Kirikawa Gorge, both sides of the road were full of trees, and the wind swept through the leaves with a loud noise, Yang Qizhong suddenly felt that something was not right, he ordered the troops to be on alert and quickly pass through the woods, but at this time, in a vertical forest on the right, there was a sudden sudden shock! A row of bamboo guns shot out of it!

This row of bamboo guns was obviously fired at the team of Yang Qizhong's middle commander, the bamboo guns shot quickly with a strong wind, and the people who were caught off guard were suddenly nailed off the horse by the bamboo guns, and the strong inertia even penetrated the horse entirely, and Yang Qizhong's mount was not spared, the horse was shot to death, and the person fell off the horse!

After the bamboo gun was shot, a group of short black-clothed masked people flashed in the woods, each holding a snow-bright blade in their hands, and there were hundreds of people, and they rushed out without making a sound, and launched an attack on the tiger guards, these people were agile, very good kung fu, and could also use hidden weapons at a long distance, and the tiger guards were suddenly in chaos.

The Tiger Guards responded in a hurry, very passively, and suffered a big loss in a moment, dozens of people were killed, and there were more than a dozen assassins who rushed towards Yang Qi and others, they screamed and swayed on the ground and ran quickly, without making a sound from beginning to end, while Yang Qizhong was very embarrassed at this time, his horse was shot to death, but it just crushed him under him, and now he was struggling to stand up.

Han Lingshou raised his hand and shot an assassin, and ordered the armor soldier behind him: "Black crossbow ready!" ----Launch! "Boom......! Whoosh ......! Crossbow arrows rained down on the assassins, pinning them to the ground, and Yang Qizhong crawled out from under the dead horse, he drew his short spear and killed the assassin who rushed in front of him, and drew his saber to block the short sword of the other man.

Han Lingshou led the armor soldiers behind him to rush to the rescue, and the tiger guards after the panic gradually recovered and were gradually counterattacking, Yang Qizhong stood up and saw that there was still a steady stream of black-clothed assassins pouring out of the woods, he had never suffered such a loss since the army, and he couldn't help but feel the anger in his heart!

He ordered all to dismount, platoon guns to fire a volley, and then mobilized the mortars at the company and battalion level to be all ready to take place, after all, the sword could not match the rifle fire, after the first wave was repulsed, the second wave of those black-clad assassins was close at hand, but with the second round of dense gunfire, everyone lay in wait at the edge of the woods.

Immediately after "Boom......! The sound of mortar shells firing, dense shells flew into the woods, and the people inside were immediately howled by the bombed ghosts and wolves, and the remaining assassins were dealt with by the tiger guards with rifles and grenades, and began to shoot at the assassins at the edge of the woods, and at the same time the infantry guns also fired!

The violent explosion and the air wave set the branches and leaves of the trees flying wildly, and ignited a fire, and the entire forest was in a sea of fire, these assassins suffered heavy losses, and after losing a few hundred people, they wisely chose to retreat, and by the time Yang Qizhong ordered the pursuit, the woods were completely deserted except for the stumps and dead bodies all over the ground.

Yang Qizhong was furious, the enemy was very cunning, let go of the scouts and the cavalry in front, and specially attacked the weak link in the middle, this ambush caused thirty-five tiger guards to be killed and wounded! This is the biggest defeat encountered after entering the Japanese archipelago, Yang Qizhong was already ruthless, and now this ambush has made the whole person fall into the abyss of hell!

With Yang Qizhong's anger, the entire Rikuzen, Luzhong, Hazen, Yugo, Iwashiro, and Iwaki suddenly fell into a sea of fire, he burned all the way, and those who dared to resist in everything were killed, regardless of whether they were high or low, and the battle merit order he gave to the soldiers turned out to be the first rank! Look at whoever has more heads, who will have great achievements!

For a while, the entire Tiger Guard Army formed a trend of cutting off heads, and many people actually competed! The standard steel knife and steel mouth of Xuzhou Taiping are excellent, the blade is sharp, and it is very easy to cut people's heads, so along the way, Yang Qizhong's head is rolling, and the surrounding smell changes, and a large number of war refugees began to flee to Kansai in large numbers!

In just ten days, Yang Qizhong created a large number of no-man's lands in Echizen, Echichu, Kamao, Noto, Wakasa, Hida and other countries, and he burned down all the manors and temples of the nobles, and most of the samurai families and large landowners in the manor were killed, and almost no chickens and dogs were left.

The remaining troops led by Xiao Ming carried Yerusha's heavy artillery regiment, which was specially aimed at those fortified city-states and large estates, and it took only seven days to conquer the capitals and cities of Iwami, Izumo, Boqi, Inaba, Taji, and other divided countries.

Ten days later, Wu Song took Zhoufang, Nagato, Yasui, Bigo, Bichu, Bizen, Harima, Misasaka and other sub-countries, he did not stop and directly approached this Xiao Ming, and in some places Wu Song led his troops to just march in a hurry, passing through the small countries of, he had no intention of crusading, bypassing Omi, Yamashiro, Yamato, Iga, Hanoi, Izumi, Settsu, Kii, Tanba, and Tango, and on the eleventh day he joined Xiao Ming in Nara.
