In September of the fourth year of Guangtoku, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was sitting in Edo and dreaming of moving the capital to Nanjing, never imagined that the Tatars had already attacked Wei Qiang. They had dispatched in advance to prepare for the attack before the armies of various Japanese vassals were assembled. The shogunate's devastating blow.
On September 8, 200,000 Qi troops launched an attack on Japan from three directions on Sakhalin Island, Zhejiang, North Korea.
The 80,000 troops of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 8th Corps formed the Central Army, serving as the main attack, with Deng Changxiong as the commander, Zhao Liaojiao, and Qi Jin as deputy generals. They stationed at Busan Port and planned to land on Tsushima Island and attack Kyushu Fukuoka Domain. The main force will be Kyushu goes all the way east.
The 60,000 troops of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Corps formed the Southern Route Army, with Qin Jianxun as the commander-in-chief, Wu Aheng, Pugang and Wang Zengbin as deputy generals. They assembled the army at Zhoushan Port and Chongming Island, sailed eastward in batches, and landed at Kagoshima Domain in Kyushu. .
The 350,000-strong North Route Army of the 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Corps, with Zheng Yishi as the commander and Wang Congzhi, Han Zhenyi Suksaha as deputy general, marched south from Sakhalin Island and occupied Ezo Territory. , attacking Japan from north to south.
Hokkaido, which is close to Sakhalin Island, is still the residence of the Ainu people. The Japanese call the Ainu people Ezo, and the Hokkaido area is called Ezo land.
The conditions of Ezo Land are harsh and the land is barren, which is comparable to that of Sakhalin Island. The empire's development of Sakhalin Island has just begun, and Ezo Land is even beyond its reach.
The indigenous people of the Ezo land are called Ainu people. The Ainu tradition is that bear hunting is their traditional skill.
Before the end of winter, Ainu hunters will look for caves where bears hibernate, kill the mother bear, snatch away the cubs, and then skin and eat the cubs when they grow up.
For more than a hundred years, Japanese pirates from the south have been encroaching on the Ezo land, and the Ainu people have risen up to fight against them.
The elite Ainu archers once annexed the Donan Twelve Halls, but in the end they were defeated by the army led by Takeda Nobuhiro because of their backward iron weapons. This is known in history as the Battle of the Manyi.
In the early days of the Edo shogunate, the Ainu's territory was only a corner of northern Hokkaido.
This time, the Ainu people no longer faced Japanese pirates, but the Qi army, which was a hundred times more ferocious than the Japanese pirates...

Integrating 200,000 troops to cross the sea and land in Japan sounds too sci-fi, especially in the seventeenth century, when the industrial revolution had not yet been realized.
Historically, after the Wanli War to Aid Korea, Emperor Shenzong planned to conquer Japan eastward and send 60,000 troops to solve the Japanese problem once and for all. However, after repeated discussions with his ministers, Zhu Yijun finally realized that with the national power of the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was impossible to They were unable to send 60,000 people to land in Japan, let alone defeat the famous generals of the Warring States Period.
However, all the problems encountered by the Ming Dynasty were easily solved in front of Da Qi.
Although polarism dehumanizes and exploits the people, it has advantages that neither feudalism nor even capitalism can match in terms of resource allocation and policy implementation.
Weakening the people and strengthening the country, and using all the power of the world for my own use, in the words of later generations, means concentrating strength to do great things.
This is the superiority of the polar circle system with Daqi characteristics.
Behind the glory is loneliness.
In order to raise the food and supplies needed for 200,000 soldiers and horses, the empire has done its best. The offensive on Guangdong and Sichuan that was originally planned to be completed this year has been stopped, and the limited war resources have been concentrated on the war against Japan.
While the order to kill the Japanese triggered strong reactions in the northern provinces, the southern provinces (except Fujian) could not bear this endless exploitation and once again launched rebellions.
Da Qi implemented the eastern tax in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces - levied on a per-acre basis - and the main targets were rich peasants and small landowners (the wealthy gentry had been exterminated).
The east tax was twice the original tax, and it was received in one lump sum seventy years later.
Of course, if you cannot afford to pay temporarily, you are still allowed to pay taxes on the mortgage and interest must be paid.
Everyone tacitly believed that this was the imperial court's revenge for the rebellion in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, because other places did not levy eastern taxes at all.
Seeing this situation, the small landowners and gentry in the two provinces were not the ones with the biggest grievances. They rose up again and launched a rebellion.
Sporadic rebellions were quickly suppressed by the Qi army, and the leading landlords and gentry were executed and their property confiscated.
All rebellious states and counties will directly enter polar circles in one step.
To a certain extent, Liu Zhaosun was already at peace. As for the mess left behind by his aggressive military campaign, he decided to leave it to Liu Kan to deal with.
I believe that future generations will have more wisdom.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, Emperor Liu Kan of Guangde came to Fengtian Hall early in the morning to pay his respects to his father as usual.
Liu Zhaosun was still cultivating in the secret room of Fengtian Hall. Outside the stone room, only Dongfang Zhu served.
The crusade against Japan was getting closer and closer, and the head of Tokugawa Iemitsu was about to be taken, so the emperor was inevitably worried.
Not that he was worried about what kind of trouble Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandson might stir up.
Master Zhang said that only by killing the evil dragon can one achieve complete merit, transform into an immortal, and gain immortality.
The evil dragon is Tokugawa Iemitsu.
The Supreme Emperor was dubious about this. If becoming an immortal was really that easy, Emperor Qin and Han Wu would have become immortals long ago.
But there was a faint expectation in his heart. Ever since he came to this time and space, he always felt that there was a supernatural force controlling everything. Every time he encountered difficulties and dangers, he could always survive. This was the case in Salhu, This was also the case during the bloody battle in Hunhe, and he could even continue to live after the explosion in Wang Gong Factory.
Apart from explanations in the supernatural direction, it can only be said that the halo of the protagonist is causing trouble. The Emperor was inspired by the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies, but what he was experiencing was neither a dream nor a story in the movie. Everything was real. occur.
Apart from his superpowers, he can no longer explain what happened to him.
Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor was in awe and did not completely scorn the ghosts and gods.
"Perhaps everything is destined by God, and the destiny cannot be violated. We can only maintain the right path, punish evil and promote good, and let the light of the right path illuminate all parts of Daqi..."
When the Supreme Emperor was talking to himself, he could already feel Dongfang Zhu standing respectfully outside through the thick stone wall.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Guangde has been waiting for you outside for a long time."
Before Dongfang Zhu could finish speaking, the thousand-jin stone door had been gently pushed open from the inside.
Liu Zhaosun walked out of the gloomy light and shadow, looked up at Dongfang Zhu, and said with a pleasant expression: "Let's go, I'm going to see my son."
Dongfang Zhu saw the secret room filled with fragrance and divine light, and then saw the colorful auspicious clouds rising at the feet of the Supreme Emperor. He was shocked and knelt down and said:
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty for your great achievements. You can see through walls and conquer mountains and rivers. You are truly a god."
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "I am still a human being, not a god."
The chief manager was so frightened that he did not dare to look up. He knelt down and said tremblingly: "The destruction of the Japanese country is just around the corner. When the Tokugawa shogunate is killed, your majesty will be among the immortals and live as long as the heavens! On behalf of the noble people, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said, "I feel it."
Dongfang Zhu was at a loss.
"I feel that there are still evil monks in the Japanese country who have not been eliminated. Only when this thief is killed will my achievements be considered complete."
