Fuso.
Edo Castle. The newly built Edo Castle is full of vitality. The city is bustling, prosperous and orderly.
It demonstrates the strength and power of the new regime.
Since the rise of the samurai, Fuso has entered an era of samurai rule. Just like in the Chu Kingdom, the general trend of the world will be divided after a long time.
The powerful samurai calmed down the troubled times, founded the shogunate, and became the shogun. Until the end of the shogunate, the hegemony fell apart and was replaced by newly rising samurai.
The current pillar of the Fuso Samurai, General Toyotomi. Order Fuso from Edo Castle in Kanto. There are three hundred daimyo, large and small, which is three hundred feudal states.
These vassal daimyo were divided into three types based on their degree of trust. The name of a close vassal, the name of a generation, and the name of an outsider.
Okinashihan is the name of the Toyotomi family.
A genedai daimyo is a daimyo promoted by retainers who have followed the Toyotomi family to conquer the world for generations.
The external daimyo are the allies of the Toyotomi family in the process of pacifying the world, or the enemy daimyo that they surrendered to.
These vassal states were divided into sizes based on the food that their territory could produce.
That is Shi Gao.
A person who can be called a daimyo has at least 10,000 koku of territory.
After the inspection of Quanfuso, the total stone height reached 32.27 million stone. Among them, the territory directly under the jurisdiction of General Toyotomi amounted to 4.5 million koku, which was known as the Heavenly Territory.
The Kanto Plain where Edo Castle is located is the most fertile plain in Fuso.
General Toyotomi has absolute strength.
General's Castle, in a room in Zhongao.
Toyotomi's first shogun, Toyotomi Daikichi, was sitting on his knees on the main seat, resting his left hand on the table in a very relaxed posture.
Toyotomi Daiyoshi is fifty-six years old this year. He has white hair shaved into a Tsukiyo head. He has an extraordinary appearance, a goat beard, and bright eyes, showing a shrewd and capable aura.
But his short stature was inconsistent with his status as a warrior pillar.
After a while, a samurai who was about the same age as Toyotomi Daikichi and exuded a capable aura walked in from outside. It was Kurageju, a prominent minister of the shogunate who also owned a territory of 100,000 koku.
"Kageju. What's the matter in such a hurry?" Toyotomi Daikichi straightened his posture and asked in a deep voice.
He was called back urgently. He was visiting a temple outside the city and drinking tea with distinguished guests.
"Report to the General's Palace. There are two things."
"The first thing is that the Emperor of Chu State conferred the title of King Fuso on the general palace and gave the prince auspicious clothes. The envoy is currently on his way to Edo."
Katakura Kageju first sat cross-legged in front of Toyotomi Daikichi, then put his hands on the tatami, bowed before speaking in a deep voice.
"King Fuso." There was a look of amusement on Toyotomi Daikichi's face.
He is known as the Fuso Lord and Toyotomi General in the country. In the certificates of credence of Korea and Chu, he is both called "King Fusang".
He has no reverence for the Celestial Kingdom. Whether he accepts this canonization depends on whether he needs it or not.
"Kingju. Do you think I should accept it?" Toyotomi Daikichi asked.
"Report to the General Palace. If there is no Wu Nian, we don't have to accept it. But with Wu Nian, it is different. We have a common enemy. If we accept the canonization of [King Fuso], then we will be a vassal state of Chu State."
"Although it has an unpleasant name, it will be much easier to contact Chu State."
Katakura Keju bent down and said.
"I don't care about the reputation, I just want benefits. If that's the case, then accept it." Toyotomi Daikichi said without any hesitation, his eyes flashed, "You mentioned Wu Nian, is the second thing related to him? "
"yes."
Katakura Keju raised his head and said: "Goguryeo urgently sent people to deliver credentials. Wu Nian sent troops to Goguryeo. They asked the general to send troops to attack Guangchuan Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture in Liaodong. Send troops to support Goguryeo's defense. The envoy is still on the way. .”
Toyotomi Daikichi was shocked, stood up, and fixed his gaze on Katakura Kageju. After a while, he said: "I told Wu Nian with practical actions that Goguryeo is under my protection. Wu Nian actually still Dare to attack Goguryeo?"
Katakura Keju felt the anger of Toyotomi Daikichi.
This is a given.
The Kyogoku family originally had a good relationship with the Toyotomi family. The Kyogoku family was wealthy and maintained a large group of retainers.
Based on the relationship between the two families. Toyotomi Daikichi originally planned to grant the Kyogoku family territory, returning the Kyogoku family to the rank of daimyo.
However, the Kyogoku family has an unclear relationship with the Ryukyu Kingdom, and even supports the Ryukyus in establishing a navy in Liaodong.
This was something Toyotomi Daikichi could not tolerate.
The entire territory of Ryukyu is worth hundreds of thousands of koku. Territory is second, the geographical location of Ryukyu is very important, it is very close to the southeast coast of Chu State.
At present, Toyotomi Daikichi has just pacified the country and has no ambition to annex Chu State.
The size of Chu State is too large and cannot be eaten at one time.
But it doesn't happen now, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. After he sorted out the domestic strength, or his descendants, the second generation generals, and the third generation generals gained strength.
You can use Ryukyu as a springboard to attack Chu.
If possible, Toyotomi Daikichi hoped to become an emperor in Chang'an and Luoyang of Chu State.
The prosperity of Chang'an and Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty recorded in Fuso history books, celebrity notes, etc. is really tempting.
all in all. Ryukyu is a piece of fat meat, and it is absolutely impossible to spit it out after eating it.
The Kyogoku family who supports Ryukyu and Wu Nian who supports the Kyogoku family must be eliminated.
"Inform all the daimyo immediately and jointly send troops according to the size of their territory."
"Tentatively, the navy is 40,000 and the infantry is 20,000."
"Jing Shi. You will serve as the general and command the navy and infantry to raid Liaodong and support Goguryeo. In addition, you will liaise with the Chu State and cooperate with Xiong Wuwo in the battle."
"Let's destroy Liaodong together and drive out Wu Nian and the Jingji family."
"Of course. We can't work in vain. We have to let the Goguryeo people pay for food, grass, and wages."
Toyotomi Daikichi pulled out the folding fan from his waist, but did not open it. He just held it in his hand and walked back and forth three times before making a decision. He sat down cross-legged and leaned on the table, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Katakura Kageju bowed down and said loudly. Then he stood up, bowed, turned and left.
"Ryukyu is mine. It belongs to me, General Toyotomi and Lord Fuso. It is not wise to go against me. Wu Nian. I will let you perish. Go to hell and regret it."
Toyotomi Daikichi's eyes were very fierce, like a jackal.
With the Toyotomi family joining the war.
Chu State, Meng Yuan, Fusang, Goguryeo. Wu Nian officially became enemies with all his neighbors and went to war with them.
Even with its army crippled, Goguryeo was still a regional power. Moreover, the Queen Mother is quite wise and has many loyal ministers and good generals.
Needless to say, Meng Yuan.
Although the state of Chu is decayed, Xiong Wuwo is the pillar of the sky, with 80,000 elite horse and infantry troops in his hands.
Fuso's navy was powerful, and General Toyotomi had just put an end to the troubled times. The entire Fuso society has a large number of samurai and ronin with rich combat experience.
They are all powerful enemies.
This was Wu Nian's own choice.
This is also what Chunyuan thinks there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
win. Wu Nian annihilated Goguryeo and eliminated a powerful enemy. Let’s not worry about taking back the territory laid down by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago, or whether the rule of Goguryeo went smoothly or not.
At least he didn't have to worry about Goguryeo's sudden attack and broke the joint blockade of Goguryeo and Fuso at sea.
At the very least, Wu Nian would not suffer.
lose.
Naturally, there is nothing more to say.
Wu Nian was as bold and fearless as ever.
