Early October.
Japan, Kagoshima.
In the residential area designated by the Oe family and the Ueda family for Yunzhou County, the number of soldiers of the Taira-Japanese army who came here from the Song Dynasty one after another during this period has quietly exceeded 50,000.
The arrival of 50,000 people was not a small number for Kagoshima, so it was naturally impossible to completely hide it from both families.
However, because they were wary of Yunzhou County's strength, they did not dare to get too close to Yunzhou County's sphere of influence to check. They only dared to observe from a distance, and could not know the specific number of Yunzhou Army's troops.
Little did they know that the Yunzhou Army was already well prepared.
Not only people, but also various military equipment and food supplies have been put in place via ships.
Kagoshima is only waiting for an opportunity.
And in Pingbo Port.
After months of buying and modifying here and there.
Feiyun Trading Company finally gathered enough ships.
In addition to meeting the daily transportation needs of commercial companies.
The trading house bought back nearly a hundred ships and converted them into warships.
Among them, there are ten large ships with a charge of 3,000 yuan, thirty medium-sized ships with a charge of 2,000 to 2,500 yuan, and fifty-three small ships with a charge of about 1,000 to 1,500 yuan.
A total of ninety-three ships were converted into warships.
For these more than ninety ships, Feiyun Trading Company bought out almost all the maritime merchants in the four southeastern counties who wanted to sell ships. In order to obtain these ships, they paid an unknown amount of premium.
But it was all worth it in the end. As long as he could capture Iwami Yinshan from Japan, Zhao Jun felt that all the money spent could only be regarded as a necessary investment.
In addition to ships, Feiyun Trading Company also hired a large number of skilled shipwrights by purchasing ships. In addition, many small shipyards were acquired by Feiyun Trading Company and then merged with personnel to form large shipyards.
With the help of skilled masters and skilled shipbuilders from these old shipyards, Pingbo Shipyard belonging to Feiyun Trading Company was officially established.
The first project after the establishment of the shipyard was to build a large ship with a material level of 5,000!
At first, when the big ship project was established, everyone thought it was impossible. No matter the newcomers or the old masters, they thought it was impossible to build a ship that big.
But when Feiyun Trading Company placed a mountain of silver in front of everyone, everyone shut up.
Anyone who can solve a problem in building a big ship can receive corresponding bonuses from Feiyun Trading Company.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a 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 in building a big ship was solved.
When the old shipwright received one hundred taels of silver in front of everyone, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused!
The technology of the entire shipyard has also begun to be continuously updated and improved day and night!
As each problem was solved and money was taken away, everyone finally no longer had the impossible idea of building a large ship with a level of 5,000 materials.
Now it seems that feasible implementation plans have come out, plus Feiyun Commercial Bank has no restrictions on the experimental raw materials and funds provided.
The construction of a big ship with 5,000 materials will not be a dream!
That’s just around the corner!
Compared with shipyards, there are more than a dozen ship repair yards that are put into actual use faster. Here are a group of shipwrights with rich experience in ship repair and modification.
After nearly a hundred ships of various kinds were purchased by Feiyun Trading Company, they were all sent to these ship repair yards for repairs and modifications. All of them were changed from merchant ships to warships.
But compared with the previous warships that could only be used for close combat, a new type of warship with specially added artillery was released.
These warships can already attack enemy ships from a long distance away. Although their accuracy is worrying now, few ships can evade them due to the numerical advantage. They are directly separated from the warships of various countries now. A generation gap.
After all the modifications of these ninety-three ships were completed, a total of 50,000 Yunzhou counties, one million shi of grain and various other supplies were loaded on the ships and sailed towards Nagasaki Port.
Now that everything is ready, it’s time to give the Japanese pirates a little surprise!
And not long after the 50,000 people set off from Pingha Port, the Yunhui Army of Kagoshima Li Erniu's tribe, who received the news, no longer concealed it, and began to reveal their ferocious fangs and launch attacks in all directions!
It only took less than three days for the Oe family and the Ueda family, who had just won the battle to defend Kagoshima, to fall. The entire Kagoshima was reduced to the occupied area of Li Erniu's tribe.
Most of these events were spent on the road.
Facing 50,000 Yunzhou troops, these Japanese feudal vassals had no ability to resist at all.
Immediately after completely occupying Kagoshima, Li Erniu's tribe arranged the defense force of Kagoshima and left a thousand defenders behind. The rest rushed out of Kagoshima with him and launched an attack on Satsuma Domain!
Fifty thousand people destroyed countless small vassals all the way to Satsuma Domain.
During the last Six Kingdoms War, the daimyo of the Satsuma clan had already been seriously injured by Yunzhou County due to the issue of their sides. Now, seeing the menace of Yunzhou County, they surrendered without resisting.
As the saying goes, use barbarians to control barbarians. Li Erniu saw that he surrendered so simply. It happened that he also needed local leading parties and manpower, so he directly asked him to help the Yunzhou Army manage the occupied Japanese land. As the Yunzhou Army Assistance here.
This was an unexpected surprise to the Satsuma clan's daimyo, Matsudaira Kenji. He didn't expect that simply surrendering would have such benefits!
By virtue of their assisting status, the Matsudaira family has gained a lot of benefits.
After taking the Satsuma Domain, Li Erniu continued to lead the army to attack the Ashibei Domain after only stopping for a short time.
After a day's journey, they arrived at Ashibei Fan the next day. The name of Ashibei Fan, Hijikata Yugao, was a tough guy, so Li Erniu satisfied him and let him hang stubbornly at the door of his house with his family.
No one in the family, old or young, is left behind, all they want is to be neat and tidy!
This ruthless method immediately served as a warning to the monkeys. The other small vassals on the way to Yunhui's army surrendered without even daring to resist.
Li Erniu followed the previous pattern and selected some obedient subordinates to help manage the newly acquired territory.
In this way, they captured one place after another without any instability. These local people who joined Yunhui's army were more dedicated than Yunhui's army.
Their compatriots are tightly controlled by them, but anyone who has the slightest idea will be dealt with by them using the most cruel methods.
Sometimes Li Erniu was speechless when he saw it, wondering why they could be so cruel to their compatriots.
But this is also a good thing for the Yunhui troops.
In this way, all the way down, in less than seven or eight days, Yunhui's army fought all the way from Kagoshima to Kumamoto Domain.
Compared with those small feudal clans, Kumamoto clan is also the largest clan in the Six Kingdoms clan.
The last time the four-nation coalition forces caused the Tamura family of the Kumamoto clan to lose more than a thousand people, it was a huge loss for them.
However, in the face of the invasion of Yunhui's army, the contemporary daimyo Tamura Masakazu formed an army of 5,000 men in the domain in an emergency!
Even though he knew that Yunhui's army numbered tens of thousands, he launched an attack on Yunhui's army without hesitation!
Because he knew that those small vassals could surrender, but the Yun command of a large vassal like him would definitely not keep them.
They have no choice but to fight Yunhui's army desperately!
