Snow fell in the sky.
After landing at Nagoya, the shogunate defenders as far away as Osaka were not aware of the great changes on the rear.
They stood firm and expected the shogunate army to reverse the situation.
"As long as Nagoya sends supplies and soldiers, everything will be fine!"
In Osaka Castle, Shogun General Tokugawa Kumaichi stood on the city gate tower, standing in the biting cold wind and looking at the campfires in the distance.
The soldiers of the Kyushu Division occupied the central army's positions, and defensive positions including Saijomaru became an obstacle for the shogunate army to regain their positions.
When night fell, the samurai of the shogunate looked at the continuous campfires outside the city, filled with worries about the future.
When the next day came, supplies from Nagoya had not yet been delivered, and Tokugawa Kumaichi did not wait for reinforcements.
After the war, he commented on the Kyushu Division's offensive in his memoirs:
Everywhere in the Osaka shogunate's garrison came under attack the next day. Among the five positions of the shogunate, three were subjected to crazy artillery fire from the Kyushu Division.
Their shells seemed endless.
The artillery brigade bombarded the position during the day and also bombarded the position at night. For three days, they carried out massive bombardments every hour.
We did not wait for the reinforcements from Nagoya, but we waited for the Kyushu Division troops to surround us from the rear. We were completely surrounded.
In the next three days and nights, the Kyushu Division launched successive attacks on the shogunate's positions in the extreme weather of wind and snow.
They often dare to use a team of 50 people to attack a tightly defended trench with 200 people.
In fact, the shogunate samurai who shivered in the ice and snow without cotton-padded clothes were always annihilated by the Kyushu Division troops who were far smaller in number than them.
The Kyushu Division was like a tireless machine, attacking Osaka Castle in turn. The huge explosions in the dark seemed to destroy Osaka Castle.
Shelling, blasting, shooting, hand-to-hand combat...
In the vast land from Osaka Castle to Kyoto, there are Kyushu divisions everywhere.
The shogunate ushered in his end, and Fuso ushered in her new monarch.
And in the east, a huge empire is awakening. This is the dawn of the empire...
The Kyushu Division achieved a decisive victory in the Osaka Winter Battle.
The illegal armed organization of the Shogunate was banned.
King Fuso regained the king's "power" with the support of the Ming Dynasty, and has returned to Jinling with Nara Ichibei and others to report on their duties.
When all this was published in the Ming Dynasty newspaper, all the people of Ming Dynasty cheered, and the entire Ming Dynasty became a boiling ocean.
Scholars in the new era read newspapers in various teahouses and talk loudly.
Countless poems full of heroic sentiments were created, and poems with a slightly "little family spirit" in the Central Plains since the prosperous Tang Dynasty are no longer so popular.
The poems about cherishing the spring and lamenting the autumn disappeared from the readers' mouths.
Instead, there are heroic poems like those in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. The people of Ming Dynasty sang the praises of this era with unprecedented confidence.
Zhu Zaiming sat in a steam convertible and slowly walked through the neighborhood.
Zhu Zaiming was facing the cold wind, reading the new issue of "Da Ming Bao" and reading an article titled "The Last Piece of the Eastern Axis Puzzle".
"This author writes well. I didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites only published the last small meeting in the corner of the newspaper, but some sharp-eyed readers noticed the biggest strategic move of the Ming Dynasty this year.
You think so, King Fuso? "
Zhu Zaiming said calmly, causing King Fuso on his right, who was like a child and dared not move, to nod his head.
King Fuso looked at the busy streets, saw the dozens of tall buildings, and saw the reflection of the glass curtain walls.
The entire Jinling was shrouded in golden sunshine.
Heavenly Kingdom...
King Fusang thought silently, without any dissatisfaction with Daming in his heart.
On the contrary, all he had in his heart was gratitude to his loving father Zhu Zaiming.
Although future high-ranking officials of Fusang Kingdom must complete the assessment in Ming Dynasty before taking office, although Ming Dynasty has complete mining rights for Fusang Kingdom's gold and silver mines and other rare metal deposits, and although he has signed countless traitorous treaties...
However, as King Fuso, he really took back the power of King Fuso, and he was qualified to govern the country under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty Supervision Group.
It is no longer the complete mascot it was during the shogunate period.
King Fusang believed that he would never be able to repay this kind father's kindness in his lifetime.
The steam convertible crossed the street and entered the parking lot of the Jinling Hotel. The minister and the kings of the other two vassal states were already waiting on both sides of the red carpet, waiting for Zhu Zaiming's arrival.
The first strategic meeting of the Eastern Axis is underway.
The 3rd Ming Dynasty Standing Division far in the northwest has their mission.
While the Ming Dynasty was recovering the Junggar land, it also wanted to recover a special piece of land.
It was a small piece of land in Central Asia, the hometown of Li Bai.
Historians have different opinions on where Li Bai's hometown is.
Some say it is in Gansu, some say it is in Sichuan, some say it is Shandong, and some even think it is the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate in Central Asia.
But no matter where it was, the Ministry of Rites believed that in order to prevent omissions, it was simply necessary to use the farthest Central Asia as the limit and expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the west, directly to the Aral Sea.
That is today’s eastern Kazakhstan.
After all, it has been since ancient times~
The temperature this year is lower than before, and even the northwest desert has white snow.
Water molecules in the air condense into ice crystals in the cold north wind. These ice crystals fall from the sky and are carried by the strong winds on the surface, like white fog blowing across the desert.
Ice crystals fell on the desert surface, and the golden desert turned into a white desert.
The strong wind howled, and the soldiers of the 3rd Division ran wildly on their horses.
As the only cavalry division of the Ming Dynasty, the 3rd Division had 32,000 soldiers equipped with 80,000 horses.
Although the training has not been completed, the General's Office still sent a document to the division commander Wang Zaihan, asking him to recover his homeland while training.
There is a logistics team of 8,000 people in the rear to provide supplies for the cavalry division.
The soldiers of the cavalry division wore special military uniforms, a pair of hard-wearing breeches and a straight jacket.
They were wrapped in thick military coats and a gray cloak draped over their shoulders.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were on the pure white desert, sweeping across the desert like a black storm.
The horses galloped, and Wang Zaihan kept asking the soldiers to attack together, training the basic skills of loading carbines on horseback.
Bursts of gunshots rang out in the desert.
The Dzungarian civilians along the way were too frightened to move.
The tribesmen sent envoys to express their loyalty and willingness to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and wisely requested the court to send officials to govern the people.
The cavalry division swept all the way, without experiencing a single battle, but took over more than a hundred tribes, large and small.
When the cavalry division bypassed the Aral Sea and entered Central Asia, several small countries in the Western Regions that were sacked by the Junggar Khanate surrendered on the spot.
Wang Zaihan was shocked.
Just a few days later, the Qing army, which was heading south, learned that the Ming Cavalry Division had entered Central Asia.
Emperor Jiaqing was so frightened that he ordered his troops to stay where they were and not dare to move.
