Chapter 415: The War Begins! Attack first on the road!
Early October.
Wakoku, Kagoshima.
In the residential area designated by the Dae family and the Ueda family for Yunzhou County, the number of soldiers of the Pingwei army who came here from the Great Song Dynasty one after another during this period has quietly exceeded 50,000.
The arrival of 50,000 people is not a small number for Kagoshima, and it is naturally impossible to completely hide it from the two families.
However, because they were afraid of the strength of Yunzhou County, they did not dare to get too close to Yunzhou County's sphere of influence to check, and only dared to observe from a distance, and could not know the specific number of people on the Yunzhou army's side.
They didn't know that the Yunzhou army was already ready.
Not only people, but also all kinds of military equipment and food supplies have been put in place by ships.
There is only one opportunity here in Kagoshima.
And in the port of Pingbo.
After months of buying and modifying everywhere.
Feiyun Comptoir finally managed to get enough ships.
In addition to meeting the daily transportation needs of commercial banks.
The comptoir bought back nearly 100 ships and converted them into warships.
Among them, there are 10 large ships with 3,000 materials, 30 medium-sized ships with 2,000 to 2,500 materials, and 53 small ships with about 1,000 to 1,500 materials.
In total, ninety-three ships were converted into warships.
For the sake of these more than 90 ships, Feiyun Commercial Bank bought out almost all the maritime merchants who wanted to sell ships in the four southeastern counties, and in order to obtain these ships, they didn't know how much the premium was.
But after all, it's all worth it, as long as he can take the Iwami Silver Mountain of the Wa Kingdom, Zhao Jun feels that all these expenses can only be regarded as necessary investments.
In addition to ships, Feiyun Commercial Bank has acquired a large number of skilled shipwrights through the purchase of ships, and many small shipyards have also been acquired by Feiyun Commercial Bank and then merged personnel to form a large shipyard.
With the help of the skilled masters and skilled shipbuilders of these old shipyards, the Pingbo Shipyard, which belongs to Feiyun Commercial Company, was officially established.
The first project after the establishment of the shipyard was to build a large ship of 5,000 materials!
At first, everyone thought that it was impossible when the big ship project was established, whether it was a newcomer or an old master, they thought that it was impossible to build a ship so big.
But when Feiyun Trading House put the mountain of silver in front of everyone, everyone kept silent.
Anyone who can solve a problem of building a big ship can receive a corresponding bonus from Feiyun Comptoir.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward!
In particular, Feiyun Commercial Bank does not count the investment in gold and silver materials for research and development.
Soon, the first problem of building a large ship was solved.
When the old shipwright received a hundred taels of silver in front of everyone, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused!
The technology of the entire shipyard has also been continuously updated and improved day and night!
As one problem after another was solved, and a sum of money was taken away, everyone finally stopped having the impossible idea of building a 5,000-material ship.
This seems to be a feasible implementation plan, plus Feiyun Commercial Bank does not limit the experimental raw materials and funds provided.
The completion of a large ship of 5,000 materials will not be a dream!
That's just around the corner!
More than a dozen shipyards are put into practical use more quickly than shipyards, and they are staffed by a group of shipwrights with extensive experience in ship repair and remodeling.
After nearly 100 ships of all kinds were purchased by Feiyun Trading Company, all of them were sent to these ship repair yards for repair and transformation, and all of them were changed from merchant ships to warships.
It's just that compared with the previous warships that could only fight in close quarters, a new type of warship with specially added artillery has been freshly baked.
These warships have been able to attack the enemy ships from afar, although the current accuracy is worrying, but under the numerical superiority, there are few ships that can dodge, and it directly opens a large gap with the current warships of various countries.
After the completion of all the renovation of these 93 ships, a full 50,000 Yunju County, 1 million stone of grain and various other supplies were loaded onto the ships and sailed towards the port of Nagasaki.
Now that everything is ready, it's time to surprise the pirates!
And not long after these 50,000 people set off from Pingbo Port, the Yun Lu army of Kagoshima's Li Erniu Division, who received the news, did not hide it anymore, and began to show their hideous fangs and start to attack in all directions!
It took less than three days for the Oe family and the Ueda family, who had just won the battle to defend Kagoshima, all of Kagoshima fell to the occupied area of the Li Erniu tribe.
Most of these events were spent on the road.
In the face of the 50,000 Yunzhou army, these vassals had no ability to resist at all.
After arranging the defense forces of Kagoshima, Li Erniubu, who immediately occupied Kagoshima, left a thousand defenders, and the rest followed him out of Kagoshima and attacked the Satsuma Domain!
50,000 people swept away many small feudal domains all the way to the Satsuma domain.
During the last Six Nations War, the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain had already been greatly injured by the Yunzhou County due to the problem of standing in line, and now when he saw that the Yunzhou County was menacing, he had no intention of resisting and surrendered directly.
is the so-called razing to control razing, Li Erniu's side saw that he voted so simply, and it happened that his side also needed the local leading party and manpower, so he directly asked him to help the Yunzhou army manage the occupied land of the Japanese State together, as an auxiliary force on the Yunzhou army's side.
This gave Kenji Matsudaira, the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain, a surprise, but I didn't expect that there would be this benefit after surrendering!
With the help he obtained, the Matsudaira family can gain a lot of benefits.
After taking the Satsuma Domain, after only stopping for a while, Li Erniu continued to lead the army to attack the Lubei Domain.
After a day's journey, the next day he arrived at the Lubei Domain, and the Daimyo of the Lubei Domain, the Daimoto of the Lubei Domain, was a tough one, so Li Erniu satisfied him and let him be hung at the door of the house with his family.
The whole family is not left behind, what you want is to be neat and tidy!
This ruthless method suddenly played the role of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, and those small feudal clans on the next road of the Yun Lu army did not even dare to resist directly.
Li Erniu followed the previous model and chose some obedient subordinates to help manage the territory that his subordinates had just laid.
In this way, they took it one place at a time, but there was no instability, and these locals who took refuge in the Yun Lu Army were more dedicated than the Yun Lu Army.
Their compatriots are under their control, but anyone who has the slightest idea will be disposed of by them with the most cruel means.
Sometimes Li Erniu smacked his tongue when he saw it, and he didn't understand why they could be so cruel to their compatriots.
But this is also a good thing for the Yun Army.
In this way, all the way down, it didn't take seven or eight days for the Yunlu army to fight all the way from Kagoshima to Kumamoto Domain.
Compared to those small domains, the Kumamoto domain was also the largest of the six kingdoms.
Last time, the Four-Nation Coalition lost more than a thousand people to the Tamura family of the Kumamoto Domain, although it was a huge loss for them.
However, in the face of the invasion of the Yunlu army, the contemporary daimyo Tamura Masakazu still raised an army of 5,000 people in the domain in an emergency!
Even if he knew that there were tens of thousands of people in the Yun Lu army, he did not hesitate to attack the Yun Lu army!
Because he knew that those small domains could surrender, but the army of the big domains like him would definitely not leave them.
They can only fight with the Yun Army, and they have no choice!
