The port was in chaos.

Fuso is not peaceful and has just emerged from the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, samurai often attacked ports.

But it was the first time that it was breached by foreigners.

Countless "Han" flags, countless warships and large ships, like dark clouds, pressed towards the port and fell on people's hearts, making everyone extremely nervous.

War.

War is coming again.

This time it's a national war.

The Taira warriors responsible for guarding the port raised their heads and looked at the Han warships in despair.

how so.

Now, General, aren't you confronting the Han army in Kyushu? Why did the Han army’s warships appear in Wakasa Country?

Isn't the purpose of King Wu Nian of Han to restore the Ryukyu Kingdom?

Why did he come to Fusoland?

The Taira warriors reacted quickly. Some of them fled, wishing their parents would give them two more legs.

Someone is drawing a moth to the flame.

"We are Taira samurai, and it is our honor to die in battle." Several young samurai drew their katana swords, led some infantry, and resolutely launched an attack on the Han warships.

"A mantis's arm is like a chariot, and he does not overestimate his own capabilities." On a warship, Songping held the steel knife at his waist tightly, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"Swish, swish, swish." Without him giving an order, the soldiers on the warship bent their bows and arrows, and mercilessly shot and killed these Taira warriors.

Most of his navy were Ryukyu people, and they were full of deep-seated hatred for the Fuso people.

"Don't fire arrows. I am Kitahara Sosuke." Kitahara Sosuke led two of his men to the shore and shouted loudly while looking at the warship.

"Mr. Kitahara." Matsudaira Isshin's eyes were filled with joy. He first ordered the warship to land, then got off the warship and met with Kitahara Sosuke.

The two chatted for a while, and then Kitahara Sosuke asked Matsudaira Isshin: "Where is the king?"

Isshin Matsudaira was about to answer. Wu Nian was supported by the imperial guards and got off the warship. The Ouchi guard immediately took out a small bench.

Wu Nian sat down and felt the stability of the land. He took a deep breath and his pale face gained a touch of blood.

"Come alive."

Kitahara Sosuke looked at Wu Nian and couldn't believe his eyes. The king, who had always been strong and mighty, had lost three laps of weight, turned pale, and looked like a playboy who had drunk too much.

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Kitahara Sosuke asked tremblingly.

If there were three shortcomings in the year of Wu, the Han army would immediately retreat. Let alone the destruction of Fuso, Ryukyu will never be able to recover.

"It's just seasickness. It's nothing serious. I'll recover when I take good care of myself." Wu Nian gasped and waved his hand.

"That's good." Kitahara Sosuke exhaled a big breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, he was really scared to death.

At this moment, Wang Gui also disembarked. But he didn't come down, he was put on a stretcher and carried down. His breath was like a gossamer and his face was as white as paper.

"Good brother. This time we are all in the same boat." Wu Nian laughed loudly and went up to pat Wang Gui on the head.

Wang Gui no longer had the energy to respond, so he just rolled his eyes.

Soon, one-third of the remaining soldiers and officers at all levels disembarked from the ship. Wu Nian took a look and saw that there were two generals, Lu Liuliang and Zhang Cai, available.

One-third of the soldiers, the organization is in tatters.

The five-ten thousand-household infantry army lost its organizational structure and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be any strong enemies in Wakasa's country.

"General Lu, General Zhang, you can simply organize the soldiers who can fight into ten thousand households. You will command them respectively."

Wu Nian raised his head and gave the order to the second general.

"Yes." The second general responded and immediately turned around and went down.

Immediately, Wu Nian asked Qianhu under Wang Gui's command to briefly organize the remaining Ouchi guards. After issuing these two orders, Wu Nian couldn't help but gasp, and then raised his head and asked Kitahara Sosuke: "Have you investigated the city and granary of Wakasa Country clearly?"

There are two great names in the entire Wakasa Kingdom.

The height of Shigao is only over 80,000.

But mosquito legs are also meat. The Han army went deep into the country alone, and no matter how much food they brought, they could only eat nothing. Capturing the city and seizing the granary is the top priority.

"Your Majesty. Fortunately, I have lived up to my command." Kitahara Sosuke nodded, then sat cross-legged in front of Wu Nian, took out a landscape map from his arms, spread it out, and said: "There are six cities in the entire Wakasa Kingdom. .”

"One is the home city of the Taira family, Sanfang Castle."

"One is the residence of the Sato family, surrounded by mountains."

"The other four are all small cities, and they are the residences of two retainers respectively."

As he spoke, Kitahara Sosuke pointed to six points on the map.

Wu Nian nodded, Fusang was very strange. General Toyotomi was the backbone of the Fuso Samurai, and the daimyo were nominally retainers of the Toyotomi family.

The daimyo had his own retainers.

And the daimyo's retainers also had retainers.

For example, if a daimyo is worth millions of koku, he will allocate salaries to his retainers. Some ministers may be allocated a salary of 10,000 dan or more.

This great minister may still have territory and live in the city. They are usually small towns, and most of the population in the town are samurai.

Most of these cities have military value.

That is to say. There may be thousands or even thousands of cities, large and small, in Fuso.

Wu Nian looked at the six cities on the map and reflected the information in his mind. Then he raised his head and said to Kitahara Sosuke: "Mr. Kitahara. What is the situation of the Heike and Sato families now?"

"The heads of the two families led their troops to Kyushu."

"The Taira family is currently guarded by Taira Harunobu."

"The Sato family is currently guarded by Sato Hidemoto."

"They are all members of this family."

Although Wu Nian had learned about Fusang's customs and customs during this period, he still felt a splitting headache after hearing this information.

It's really messy.

To put it simply, a family has the same surname.

Fusang values ​​​​the family name. The bloodline can be severed, but the family line cannot be severed.

In this sect, there may be the wife and brother of the family leader who changed their surname, or the adopted son of the family leader. In short, they are not related by blood at all, but they can all join the sect.

Within a sect, the status is higher.

"Can they persuade him to surrender?" Wu Nian asked simply.

"Probably not. But if the army is approaching, we can try to make an emergency landing." Kitahara Sosuke shook his head first, and then said.

"Go and ask Lu Liuliang and Zhang Cai if they are ready." Wu Nian nodded, then turned around and said to an Ouchi guard next to him.

The Ouchi guard responded and quickly went down. Soon after, the Ouchi guards returned and reported that they were ready.

Wu Nian nodded and said: "Give them this picture. Now the Taira and Sato families are empty. We can attack together and let them study how to attack."

"I don't care about the process. I want these six cities as a stronghold and the food in the cities."

"That's right. Let them enforce military discipline and not burn, kill or loot."

"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded again, bent down and picked up the map, and quickly went down.

After a while. Lu Liuliang and Zhang Cai each took the temporarily organized soldiers of five thousand households and went in two directions.
