Katakura Kageju was not as optimistic as Toyotomi Daikichi. In the previous war in Korea, the Fuso samurai lost disgracefully in front of the powerful Han army.
Although over the years, the warriors have carried out certain reforms against the Han army.
But I don’t know what the effect will be.
Although the Fuso Navy had the upper hand, the coastline was so long.
Why.
Katakura Kageju's heart was full of worries, but seeing that Toyotomi Daikichi was in high spirits, he didn't dare to pour cold water on him. He bent down and said respectfully: "Shogun-sama is right."
"Yes." Toyotomi Daikichi hummed, and then shouted toward the door: "Come here, get the map of Kyushu."
"Yes." A man named Toyotomi Daikichi was kneeling at the door. Hearing the words, he responded, turned around and went out. Soon after, he walked in holding a large map.
"Sit over here." Toyotomi Daikichi spread the map in front of him and asked Katakura Kageju to come over and sit down. Toyotomi Daikichi took out the landscape painting folding fan from his waist, pointed at Kyushu and said: "Wu Nian wants to help the Higashino family restore the country. Of course we must station heavy troops in Ryukyu."
"But Ryukyu is too small to accommodate that many troops."
"So we stationed part of the army in Nagasaki. Then we used Kumamoto as our base camp."
"That's right, that's right. Just in case. Move the Ryukyu people from Ryukyu to Kyushu Island to prevent them from cooperating with the Han army."
"In addition, although it is unlikely, we still ask the daimyo to be on strict guard in their own vassal states to prevent Wu Nian from landing in Fuso."
"Instruct all the great names to jointly send out troops. This time, I will take charge personally. I will sit in Kumamoto and fight to the death with the Han army."
After saying that, Toyotomi Daikichi inserted the folding fan back, raised his head and looked forward, his eyes were very sharp and powerful.
As the overlord of Fuso, the de facto ruler, and the first shogun of the Toyotomi Shogunate.
The prestige of the man who pacified the troubled times of the Fuso Warring States Period was unparalleled.
Looking at the sharpness in Toyotomi Daikichi's eyes, I felt the domineering energy exuding from him. Katakura Keju bowed his head respectfully and said loudly: "Yes."
The surnames and retainers outside the door also lowered their heads with respect in their eyes.
Soon, Katakura Keju left the room and went down to deliver the order.
Toyotomi Daikichi walked out of the room, came to the corridor, turned and looked to the north, his eyes full of greed.
Although he was hurt by Wu Nian last time, he did not give up his ambition. First, capture Goguryeo as a springboard to defeat the Han Kingdom, then seize control of the Central Plains and move the capital to Chang'an and Luoyang.
Chang'an, Luoyang.
In the hearts of Fuso people, it has extraordinary meaning.
On their handed down maps, the distance between Chang'an and Luoyang will be marked.
then. They sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to study in the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Luoyang was the sacred capital of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time.
No.
Before and now, Chang'an and Luoyang were sacred in their hearts.
Even Fuso's Kyoto was built in imitation of Chang'an and Luoyang at that time.
The fuso is too small, not big enough for the dragon to move around. China is just right.
The fire of ambition burned brightly in Toyotomi Daikichi's heart.
Following Toyotomi Daikichi's order, more than two hundred daimyo in Fuso received the order, and the armies of each daimyo began to assemble. Among them, the Toyotomi family's main army was the most majestic and the strongest.
The various teams and banners of the family are strong and strong.
After the army was assembled, Toyotomi Daiyoshi commanded the army and headed for Kyushu and Kumamoto.
at the same time. Wu Nian's navy and army, with an army of 110,000 households, also arrived at Jeju Island.
Jeju Island is the largest island in Youyan. It was originally the Jeju capital of Goguryeo and faces Kyushu Island in Fuso across the sea.
There are tens of thousands of local people, most of whom are engaged in fishing.
The terrain and land conditions here are not suitable for farming.
However, because of its good geographical location, business is very prosperous. It is also influenced by fusang from neighboring countries, and there are elements of fusang everywhere.
Prior to this, Li Tianbao and Songping were ordered to station themselves at the island's port to deal with the harassment of the Fuso Navy and protect the merchant ships of Han and Chu.
Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on Jeju Island, causing a lot of trouble to the people on the island.
But it has a strong boost to the economy.
The country was rich, and Wu Nian was very good to the army. The Han army continuously sent military supplies from the Youyan Peninsula. At the same time, it purchased seafood from the fishermen on the island and improved the food for the soldiers.
The Han army received food and pay, and most of it was sent back home. But I kept some money on hand and spent it on the island.
The people of Jeju Island are very happy to have made war fortune.
The main thing is.
The Han army had strict military discipline and did no harm to the common people.
All in all, the military and civilians are very harmonious.
After the Han army arrived at Jeju Island, they did not move. They just hoarded supplies and then hoarded supplies. As if waiting for something.
On a mountain next to the port, there is a pavilion full of Han style.
Surrounded by a large number of Ouchi guards, guarding with swords in hand.
Wu Nian stood in the pavilion, looking at the sea with his hands behind his hands, feeling the immeasurable power in the waves, and couldn't help but feel insignificant.
In front of this sea, human strength is really humble.
Kyogoku Yuki sat on the bench, wearing a fuso yukata and a paper peony in her bun, full of fuso style.
"Princess. What's the situation in Fusang?" Wu Nian turned around and asked.
"General Toyotomi's shogunate is very stable, and the daimyo dare not have any objections. But some ronin are already starting to make moves."
Kyogoku Yuki raised her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck, which was as beautiful as gelatin.
"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded. The disadvantage of the feudal system is that it cannot concentrate its power.
General Toyotomi is equivalent to the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the various daimyo are the leaders of each faction. The situation is still stable now, so we are united.
If General Toyotomi shows weakness, it is not far away that the whole army will fall apart.
In the country of Fuso, there are countless ronin who have lost their master. It is reasonable for the rondos to live in poverty, long for war, and be ready to take action.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps. Wu Nian turned around and saw Wang Gui running towards the pavilion.
Wu Nian asked loudly: "Is there any movement in the Toyotomi family?"
"Your Majesty King Seimei. Toyotomi Daiyoshi has appointed himself as the general and commanded the armies of all the daimyo. They are marching to Kyushu. They will defend Nagasaki and Ryukyu respectively. Use Kumamoto as the base camp."
Wang Gui stood up after entering the pavilion, bent down and saluted.
"In addition, the shogunate ordered the daimyo to strengthen security in their own countries. They also moved away the Ryukyu residents."
"Yes. Toyotomi Daikichi is still very stable, and he also knows that I may land from other places. Although this possibility is slim."
"It's just that while he asked the daimyo to assemble the army, he also asked the daimyo to strengthen the defense of the country. The daimyo are not gods, so they can't spread the beans to form an army. Now the country of Fuso must be empty."
The corners of Wu Nian's mouth turned up slightly, and then he ordered Wang Gui: "Ask Chen Kun, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, to go to Kumamoto as envoy. Go see Toyotomi Daikichi. Tell him."
"If he is willing to give up Ryukyu, I will retreat. Otherwise, we will fight against each other."
Wang Gui understood that this was a fog bomb. And Toyotomi Daikichi will definitely refuse. Ryukyu is so important to Fuso.
"Yes." Wang Gui responded, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian hummed and turned around, only to see a look of worry on Kyogoku's snow-white face.
