Tokugawa Taiyasu began recruiting troops nationwide.
Rather than recruiting soldiers, it is better to say that it is to recruit young men.
Because he has no money to spend on military expenses.
Even if he is willing to pay, the people are not willing to fight for them.
Everyone knows that the Tokugawa shogunate and the Takeda family are now regarded as fire and water, and are about to start a decisive battle.
From the bottom of their hearts, they did not believe that the Tokugawa Shogunate could better represent the people.
The reason why the common people have undergone this change is that they have been influenced by businessmen from all walks of life.
Merchants could not do business in the Tokugawa Shogunate. They had to go to Kyushu Island and obtain permission from Yoshitomo Takeda.
This resulted in these businessmen not taking the Tokugawa Shogunate seriously at all. .
Merchants crisscrossed the country and spread the word from ear to ear, thus affecting the perception of the people.
The common people originally had a bad impression of the Tokugawa shogunate, but now the Tokugawa shogunate has begun to recruit young men again.
As a result, public outrage was aroused across the country.
Small families from all over the country refused to serve in the army, some resisted and some ran away.
Tokugawa Taiyasu also issued a death order and must capture strong men.
If you dare to resist, you will be jailed in the least case, and executed in the most serious case.
He struck very hard.
Soon 200,000 men were recruited across the country.
And these two hundred thousand strong men are simply not enough.
He wants to capture one million strong men and use their lives to fill Yoshitomo Takeda's wounds.
Although the capture of 200,000 strong men has caused chaos throughout the country, the people are in dire straits, and their wives and children are scattered, but Tokugawa Taiyasu is not moved at all.
At this point in the situation, strong measures must be used.
The people of the Japanese country were just backers for the Tokugawa shogunate.
In the eyes of Tokugawa Taikang, the people of Japan were nothing more than slaves of the Tokugawa shogunate.
If the Tokugawa shogunate asked them to die, they must die. What's the point?
At the same time, Tokugawa Taiyasu was also anxiously waiting for the good news from Master Qingyun.
…
Jiuzhou Island Pier is busier than ever.
The popularity is growing.
Because Tokugawa Taiyasu captured young men, many people fled.
They took a small boat to avoid being pursued by the Tokugawa shogunate's navy, and went through many difficulties and dangers to reach Kyushu Island.
They want to hide in Jiuzhou Island to save their lives.
As long as it enters fifty miles of the waters of Jiuzhou Island, the combined fleet led by Xu Tianhu will protect the people.
Although Tokugawa Shiming wanted to capture these strong men for his own use, he did not dare to conflict with Xu Tianhu head-on. He could only gnash his teeth and sigh in despair.
After all, before Tokugawa Taiyasu launches a general offensive, he must restrain himself and must not become an enemy of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea.
It would be bad if something went wrong and messed up Tokugawa Taiyasu's plan.
…
Yoshitomo Takeda very much welcomed the people's surrender.
Corporal Li Xian greeted him personally.
Yoshitomo Takeda's behavior made the people fleeing the famine praise her highly.
Of course, wherever Takeda Yoshitomo goes, he always brings his Takeda style with him so that he looks familiar.
He will also have good popularity when he governs in the future.
Jiuzhou Island became a haven for Japanese people.
Originally, the population of Kyushu Island was only one-quarter of that of Japan. In terms of population advantage, it was not as good as Tokugawa Taikang.
However, 90% of the people who fled from famine were strong men.
In less than half a month, Jiuzhou Island's strong labor force has almost doubled.
Yan Qi immediately asked Yoshitomo Takeda to distribute food and arrange accommodation for the people, and use the greatest sincerity to move the people fleeing the famine.
According to Yan Qi's idea, helping the people at this moment is called giving timely help.
A little kindness, but the effect is surprisingly good.
Yoshitomo Takeda deeply understands Yan Qi’s good intentions.
She had countless money pried from the hands of the chaebols to build dormitories and distribute food for them.
The people were moved.
When life was in danger, Yoshitomo Takeda found a place of cultivation.
Moreover, Yoshitomo Takeda also distributed food to them.
This is a great kindness and virtue.
The common people admired Takeda Yoshitomo more and more.
Yan Qi said to Takeda Yoshitomo: "Your soldiers were not enough. Now that the people fleeing the famine have come, your soldiers are no less than Tokugawa Taiyasu."
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "These people just didn't want to be soldiers, so they escaped. If I were to recruit soldiers, wouldn't they be willing too?"
Yan Qi shook his head and smiled narrowly: "Do you want to change your thinking?"
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "How to change my thinking?"
Yan Qixiao asked: "A child asked his mother if he could play while studying? Do you think his mother would agree?"
Yoshitomo Takeda shook his head: "Of course I won't agree."
Yan Qi asked again: "The child asked his mother again if he could study while playing?"
Takeda Yoshitomo nodded: "Of course."
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows: "The two sentences I just said obviously mean the same thing, but why are the results completely opposite?"
"Oh oh oh..."
Takeda Yoshitomo's beautiful eyes exuded the light of sudden realization: "Sir, you reminded me, you are so smart, you are worthy of being a wise man."
"This is the art of language."
Yan Qi blinked narrowly: "Don't tell the people: I want to recruit troops to fight the Tokugawa Shogunate, defeat him, and defeat him."
"But I want to say, the Tokugawa shogunate is coming to attack you, rob you of your land, rob your money, and take your lives. What should you do?"
Yoshitomo Takeda clapped his little hands: "This is a good idea, sir. They must respond positively. But..."
Yan Qi asked: "But what?"
Takeda Yoshitomo asked: "Are you deceiving them? Isn't it a bit vicious for me to do this?"
"No no no!"
Yan Qi shook his head: "As a ruler, don't say anything malicious or deceptive. These are not thoughts you should have."
"You have to change your thinking and deal with things from the perspective of God who coordinates the overall situation and loves all sentient beings."
"Many things are good for the country, the people, and society, but they must be very hard work. Is there anything that can be rewarded without hard work?"
"Then who will pay? There must be a pioneer. Is there anyone willing to pay willingly? This is a test of the ability of those in power."
"And the story I just told is exactly the kind of overall thinking that those in power should have."
"You still need to learn more about this."
Takeda Yoshitomo stuck out his tongue and said: "I don't want to learn. I will live on Ryukyu Island from now on. You should teach Takeda Yoshifu to do these things."
…
The next day!
Yoshitomo Takeda followed Yan Qi's strategy to promote it.
as expected.
Everyone rushed to join the army to defend Jiuzhou Island.
Where is the need for conscription?
Not needed at all.
Everyone joined the crusade against the Tokugawa Shogunate from the bottom of their hearts.
In one day, 300,000 new troops were added.
So spectacular.
Yoshitomo Takeda did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered Sendogai to mobilize veterans for high-intensity drills.
What happened next is just a replica.
Everyone took the initiative to join the army and fight against Tokugawa Taiyasu.
…
Yan Qi is taking a rest while coordinating the strategy.
Suddenly, my heart spasmed.
Yan Qi was sweating in pain, but she had a look of excitement on her face: "Sister Fairy misses me..."
