Chapter 281. The breath of war
In fact, Song Xiance told a lie, in February, the Dongjiang army did not come to Kyushu at all, but even so, the Kyushu daimyo Shimazu family, the Nabeshima family, the Kuroda family and other more than a dozen coalition forces that had to send troops under the threat were ready to be sent, and under the leadership of Kuroda Toshinaga, a traitor, the Tokugawa family's son-in-law Funai clan and the Tokugawa family's Matsudaira family in the Tokugawa family's Tokugawa family in Kyushu Island were all wiped out.
Not only were people killed, but the spoils were also divided, and all the 50,000 stone territories of the Fuuchi Domain in Hyuga were given to Shimazu Mitsuhisa and became his feudal domain, while the Enjin Domain leaned in the middle of the Fukuoka Domain and the Saga Domain, and the territory of more than 70,000 stone was divided equally between the two families, Kuroda Toshinaga, a loyal lackey of the Dongjiang River, also had a territory of 32,000 stones.
Mao Jue had to wait for the Allied forces and Lee's Korean troops to assemble, and it was not until March 13 that the Dongjiang fleet landed on Kyushu Island for the second time.
It's still the unlucky Nagasaki City, but this time there is no need for Mao Jue to spend more shells, and the gate of Hidden Qidao is directly open, not to mention, on the shore, this time it is even more welcome.
It really has the style of the Toyotomi family back then, and the family crest banner of more than a dozen daimyo in Kyushu was erected on the shore where Mao Jue had fought twice, just at noon, when the towering sail shadow of the Black Pearl appeared on the seaside, tens of thousands of Japanese warriors held guns and knives in their right hands, and held their knees with their left hands, and knelt down with a hula.
However, the necessary precautions must also be done, as the fleet docked, in the fluttering footsteps, more than a dozen teams of Ming troops hurriedly and neatly ran down from the ship, and in less than a few minutes, two tofu cubes like a frame-shaped queue stood in the port, and with a sound of brushing, all the soldiers stood up with their guns, this series of actions, and the dozen or so Kyushu daimyo who saw it were simply stunned.
After a battle in momentum, more than a dozen wooden ladders were lowered from the Black Pearl, and under the rapid support of a group of gun-wielding guards, Mao Jue, who was wearing cotton armor and a phoenix-winged helmet, walked in front in a cloak.
However, the most fashionable in the team is still Kunimatsumaru, although the little guy looks like a scholar, honest and bullying, but he can't stand his helmet to pull the wind, Toyotomi Hideyoshi wore a horse after the Li Fu pocket, and the body is also the Toyotomi family armor, and there are more than a dozen golden lights on the back of the head, just like the Buddha.
After finally meeting the legendary Toyotomi, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Kuroda Toshinaga, Nabeshima Konmatsu and other leading generals, as well as those who personally led the troops over the small daimyo of the branch clan all looked up emphatically, but then they fell on Mao Jue at the front, and this disembarkation sequence has already revealed the power structure of the future Toyotomi family.
"Meet the General!"
Full of excitement, Song Xiance had just presided over the division of the two branches of Kyushu Island, and for the first time tasted the rights of the big man, now Mao Jue was in his heart, and the weight was a little heavier, leading the team of daimyo to walk in the front, kneeling down suddenly, and a yellow scroll was held in front of Mao Jue with both hands.
Guan Bai League Affidavit!
"Meet General Mao! Meet the Toyotomi Governor!"
Now Kunimatsumaru has no official position, and the daimyo can only be called the family governor, but the surname Toyotomi already represents a very high right, and more importantly, meeting Mao Jue is placed in front of the Toyotomi family governor, and the person in front of him can only be used to show loyalty in this way under coercion.
Although he was a little unwilling, Jiafei Hall could only put his arm around Kunimatsumaru's shoulders behind him, watching Mao Jue reach out majestically and salute.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"
Expressing his intimacy, he pulled Song Xiance up with his own hand and didn't say anything, he also patted him on the shoulder.
"Well done!"
"Xie Jiangye! Please check the head of the master and evaluate!"
hugged his fist, and then Song Xiance stretched out his right arm again and made a gesture of please.
Don't look at the previous spoils of war have been divided, now to Mao Jue, a little take off your pants and fart, a sense of waste twice, but politics will never have superfluous ceremonies, this is also an extremely important part of the battle array etiquette of the Japanese Daimyo has always been, this is the official recognition of Mao Jue is the lord, qualified to distribute the spoils, after the Sekigahara War, Tokugawa Ieyasu relied on the hill assessment, distributed the spoils of war fiefdom, and officially established his dominance, this procedure, must go.
"Dedication!"
In the strange screams of the Japanese samurai, Arima and Matsudaira were beheaded more than 30 hideous heads of the heads were all served one by one on a vermilion plate and handed over, to be honest, the head is nothing to look at, but with a little timid Kunimatsumaru, Mao Jue is still checking the past one by one, among them, the daimyo who secretly observed the Toyotomi family governor has established in his heart who he should be truly loyal to in the future.
After the samurai's strange voices boasted about their merits, holding the sub-seal that Song Xiance had written, Mao Jue read it out catchily, and Kuroda Toshicho, who got the sub-feudal territory, was the first to kowtow excitedly, kowtowing heavily to Mao Jue.
"Thank you, lord!"
After the division was completed one by one, the beheaded warriors obtained Zhixing, the three major names of the troops were divided into Shigao, and more than 10,000 Japanese warriors were also enthusiastic about listening, everything was moving according to the concept, and the foundation of Mao Jue's rule over the Japanese country had begun to be established.
At the end of the ceremony, Mao Jue ordered those heads to be buried in accordance with the tradition of the Japanese Kingdom, which was regarded as respecting the opponent.
The headquarters was not placed in Nagasaki City, but in the last war, the burned Shimahara Castle, the next few days, it was the time for Mao Jue to show off his strength, an unprecedented army, plus five regiments on Jeju Island, and the three mercenary regiments of Xiongjin that could never fall This time Mao Jue's total strength reached 40,000, in addition, this time there are a lot more Li Koreans who are willing to follow Li Shanhai to the Japanese country to make a fortune, plus the Li Korean Standing Division that has been formed last time, a full army of more than 75,000.
The vast procession of the great army, which disembarked from Nagasaki Castle and marched in a phalanx to Shimabara Castle, was camped in a long procession, and the cavalry pulling cannons and leading the tall Liaodong war horses were all watched by the great daimyo who had gathered in horror.
This is no longer the army that invaded the country last year, with such strength, no daimyo on Kyushu Island has the strength to resist, many people have begun to rejoice, fortunately accepted Song Xiance's threat, otherwise, the head that was placed on the plate a few days ago should be their own family's.
With the manifestation of the prestige, the political pattern of Kyushu Island has undergone drastic changes, Satsuma Domain, the governor of the Shimazu Tsunaki announced his retirement, Shimazu Mitsuhisa is one step closer, becoming the governor of the Shimazu family, although Kuroda Toshinaga did not have this treatment, but he was also made the heir, the Nabeshima family is the one who reacted the least, but the leader of the Nabeshima Konmatsu family was also included in the clan and became the chief retainer.
A large number of troops gathered at Shimabara Castle, carrying the baggage and grain, and by the end of March, Shimabara had gathered as many as 50,000 Japanese samurai.
The Dongjiang River can always create miracles, the power of the entire Kyushu Island converges here, and at that end, Mao Jue ordered a large civil engineering, in less than a month, the original dilapidated Shimabara Castle was actually renovated, and a three-story wooden castle was rebuilt on the burned castle tower, and it was painted once with lacquer, and the two no maru three no maru below, the houses built of civil engineering and cement are also composed of spiritual streets.
If you want to re-establish power, a capital city is indispensable! In a short period of time, Shimabara Castle already has the intelligence of the capital.
The first day of April.
If this day is in the West, it is a day of jokes, but now in the Japanese country, it has become an unprecedented solemn moment, the old fox Kuroda Tadako came in person, and also carried the Kuroda family's think tank Kuroda Kanbei, the Shimazu family governor Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the Nabeshima family general Nabeshima Kinmatsu, and the entire Kyushu Island is considered a figure with a head and a face What more than 50 people, all kneeling on both sides of the newly repaired Shimabara Castle Hall, everyone is dressed in Yuan clothes, showing 120,000 points of spirit.
"Meet the Lord!"
It's a pity that this lord is not Mao Jue, with the creaking sound of his footsteps on the floor, Toyotomi Matsumaru is wearing a pine crane yuan suit, and he pretended to be majestic in the wood, and with the support of the Kai Palace, he walked to the top and knelt down, and Mao Jue was standing beside him, and suddenly opened the edict of the clothes and belts offered by Song Xiance a few days ago.
"His Majesty the Emperor has an order, the Toyotomi clan pacifies the troubled times in the world, supports the dynasty, and is entrusted with the responsibility of ruling the mortal world! Your palace country Matsumaru, after Toyotomi, now inherit the position of Guan Bai to shepherd the people of the world! Order this!"
The translation voice of the translator was subdued and passed on to the entire hall, and then Mao Jue brought this edict with Toyotomi Hideyori to prepare, and Toyotomi Matsumaru's life experience was passed on.
It's really prescient, many Kyushu daimyo may still be a little unconvinced, but seeing that the emperor actually recognized the Toyotomi family, for the new stock of Kunimatsumaru, the confidence is a little enough, especially the old fox Kuroda Tadayuki, who is actually an old face, sighing with emotion that Lord Hideyoshi has manifested his spirit.
Emphasizing his orthodoxy again, politically, of course, he will not do useless work, waiting for these guys to scream almost, Mao Jue's expression in the hall suddenly became cold, and he shook his hand forward, roaring loudly with indignation.
"The Toyotomi family of the Tokugawa family, playing with power tricks, killing Tadaya, and even attacking the Toyotomi family in Osaka on the grounds that the Toyotomi family plotted against the Tokugawa, is simply an unforgivable crime! Now that the head of the small family is established, the army is gathered, and this blood revenge should be avenged! The fifteenth of this month! The Toyotomi army will go north to Honshu to defeat the rebellion and aid the Mori family! Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to follow? ”
This is simply nonsense, but it is to give everyone a chance to express their loyalty, and it is the old fox Tadayuki Kuroda who simply raises his military fan in indignation.
"The Kuroda family is willing to be a pioneer!"
"The Shimazu family is willing to be a pioneer!"
"The Nabeshima family is willing to serve the queen of the army!"
"Let's go to war!"
Where did the power and wealth of the samurai come from, they all came from the war, to be honest, after the Great War of Sekigahara, the daimyo of the western country generally had a very miserable life, the reduction of the seal, the fine of the fine, a while ago it was looted by Mao Jue and Amakusa Shizhen, and now the territory of Honshu Island is Shigao, for them, it is also a temptation, with Mao Jue's shouting, the entire hall also followed the ghost crying wolf howl.
He closed the edict in his hand again, lowered his head slightly, and Mao Jue's face also showed a gloomy smile.
The world's biggest drama! Kick off the curtain!
