Hojo had already sent several groups of envoys to see Ren Yixiang, but unfortunately they were all killed. When he heard that Emperor Toba's envoy had been treated as a guest by the Hua Empire after being exiled to Oki Island, he finally became anxious and brought a military group of more than 20,000 samurai from Sakura Prefecture to Kyoto Prefecture.

He didn't dare to attack the Hua Empire, which had already occupied Xikaido, it was more than 100,000 well-equipped elite troops, and although his troops were not afraid of death, they could not fight with one enemy and five.

Hojo himself admired the Han culture, he knew that the Central Plains Dynasty had always looked down on the Wa Kingdom, thinking that they were barbarians, backward and barbaric, and disdainful of them, and that the Wa Kingdom itself had not been subjected to large-scale invasion by the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, even after Goryeo was completely occupied.

When the Chinese Empire was founded, Hojo Katsu sent envoys with a lot of gold, silver, and jewels to curry favor with the fearsome founding king and show his submission. The king accepted and returned a lot of rewards, which made Hojo Noshikatsu let go of his worries, and felt that the Hua Empire was no different from those powerful empires in the past.

Unexpectedly, there was no reason or excuse for the Han people to suddenly launch a full-scale attack on the always obedient Wa Kingdom, leaving Hojo Katsu unprepared, and the Han people occupied Saikaido without much effort.

When a huge storm that even Hojo had never seen before hit the Han Chinese fleet, he was ecstatic, believing that the gods were helping them and protecting the Wa Kingdom. But I didn't expect the determination of the Hua Empire to be so great, and it didn't take long for the second batch of warships to arrive again, but unfortunately there was no God to help them this time.

As the supreme ruler of the Sakura shogunate, he was not an ordinary person, and Hojo knew that he could not defeat the Han Chinese, but he was able to defeat the emperor and the aristocratic forces that began to resurgent.

The Han people didn't move when they conquered the Saikaido, so that Hojo Katsukatsu, who was ready to launch the whole people to use the terrain and space for a full-scale decisive battle, punched into the air, he knew what the Han people were fighting, they wanted the Japanese to fight the Japanese and consume their war potential. So who can do that? It's the emperor's family.

Hojo Katsu regretted it a little, he still shouldn't have left them. They also nominally obeyed the emperor, mainly because the political structure of the shogunate was not perfect enough to rule the entire Wa country, so they had to make compromises and leave them with opportunities. Originally, there were no Han people to stir up peace, and in the next few years, they would be able to completely eradicate the old aristocratic forces that were attached to the emperor, but now as soon as the Han people came, they waved at them, and immediately pounced on them like a dog, who was willing to give up the power in their hands?

This emperor and the old aristocracy are even more dangerous than the Han people, because the people under their rule will not resist them much, and they are the easiest to be used by the Han people, which Hojo Katsuri will never allow, so he will go to Kyoto to destroy them first, and then gather the whole country to fight against the Han people.

Outside Mimasaka Castle, tens of thousands of Japanese troops were fighting to the death, and of course it was the samurai regiment of the Shogunate of the Shogunate of Rakura who forgot to die, so the army attached to the emperor was losing and retreating, although there were more people, but it was they who were about to collapse.

Hu Yanting didn't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight anymore, he knew that the emperor's army was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

The 5,000 heavy infantry regiment rushed forward, this was not the Marine Corps of the Dinghai Navy, but the main force specially drawn from the Liaodong Army, well-equipped and experienced in land warfare.

Immediately the tip of the needle to Mai Mang, the heavy infantry and the samurai regiment collided together, what Hu Yanting did not expect was that after half a day of fighting, the samurai regiment of less than three thousand actually resisted their own attack, although the situation was bound to fail, but their bravery still made him a little frightened, and after the battle, there were no prisoners, all of them were killed.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too well equipped for leisure, Hu Yan felt that his 5,000 infantry regiment was not necessarily an opponent under equal conditions.

Hu Yanting felt sorry for his own casualties, and Hojo was even more distressed, the main force of the samurai regiment that could really fight like this was less than 30,000 in the whole Wa Kingdom, and there were no 3,000 at this time, how to fight in the future? But because of this, because of caution and fear, he lost the opportunity for the whole army to press and annihilate Huyanting and the Emperor's forces.

Now that the Han Chinese army appeared, Hojo Norikatsu retreated to Kyoto. This can't be fought, there are hundreds of thousands of such an army, he has no dead heart, he can't fight first to seek peace, slow down first, turn around and immediately go all out to expand the samurai regiment, as long as it can reach 100,000, he will have the confidence to fight a decisive battle with the Han people, he knows that his samurai corps combat power is no worse than the Han people, but he needs time.

It takes time for Hojo to win, and Ren Yixiang also needs time, he knew the battle situation for the first time, and felt that the navy alone might not be able to defeat the Wa Kingdom, he needed more elite heavy infantry, and he was reluctant to let his navy suffer heavy casualties on the land of the Wa Kingdom, so he temporarily agreed to the peace of the Wa State Sakura Shogunate, and also accepted the beautiful jewelry, and then immediately sent a message back to the capital.

In the northern capital, Lin Jianyue only hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, he decided to spend a greater price to occupy and conquer the Wa State at all costs, small-scale mines have begun to be mined, and the number of people who are willing to invest immediately increased, and there are also conditions to increase investment.

This time, he directly transferred the most elite heavy infantry regiment of the former Guards Army, and the current main force of the Beijing Battalion of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and it is 50,000 people.

Because that's the land he left behind for his eldest brother.

Zhang Qi's face was full of blood and tears, in order to protect his safety, his two younger brothers and four cousins all died, three of his four sons died, all the female family members were robbed, and Wanguan's family wealth was also robbed. Although the enemy pretends to be bandits, since His Majesty dominates the world, where are there so many bandits? Some of the forces have been wiped out.

Zhang Qi had evidence in his hand, not only knew who killed him, but also who they colluded with, so they had to kill their whole family.

But even if there is evidence in the Central Plains, they can't help them, the power is too great, there is only one way, go north to the capital to sue the emperor, he believes that the wise Imperial Holy Emperor will definitely make decisions for him.

Sun Jie was so anxious that he turned around, for the sake of 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, and for the shares of Sancheng of the Japanese Kingdom, he agreed to the conditions of the Xue family, and dispatched the army commanded by Yangzhou to destroy the Zhang family, but his mother actually let the most important Zhang Qi run away, what can I do now?

The Zhang family fully supported the fight against the Japanese when Lin Jianyue had not let go of his mouth and let the people mine the gold and silver mines of the Wa State, so he left a name in the household department of the imperial court, and the Xue family had no competition with the Zhang family, even if Sun Jie Tuo Feng Earl's eldest brother went to speak, he did not take the last risk to do this, and the temptation of interests was too great.

Sun Jie shuddered, even if his father Sun Zhengyi is the first prince of Wuxun, the deputy governor of the Central Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the governor of the Northern Army, if this matter is known by His Majesty, whether he can live or not, his Sun family will definitely be greatly affected, money or shares are not too important, the key is that he used the troops, this is the biggest taboo of the empire, maybe His Majesty is looking for an opportunity to make a meritorious hero! Sun Jie is not a playboy, he has read, his father and eldest brother are in the army, and he has always been in charge of the family.

Sun Jie went further and further down the wrong path, and in order to cover up the matter, he continued to use his connections to use the army, and it was the army of Hebei.

He didn't dare to tell his eldest brother about it, let alone tell his father, as for his younger sister, he didn't think about it, for fear that a bad one would affect the little prince, and he had to seize the last opportunity to kill Zhang Qi.
