After listening to Li Ming's words, everyone instantly understood his general intentions. Hu Guosheng thought for a moment, and then took the lead in asking: "Commander, do you mean to pull the foreign daimyo of the Kyushu domains into this war?" ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "That's what I meant, but it's not so easy to pull these wall grasses in." Although the Satsuma clan has been in constant contact with them, according to the information we have, none of the daimyo of the Kyushu clan have expressed their position. They also had concerns, first of all, they were afraid of the strength of the shogunate, believing that the Shimazu family would not be able to shake the shogunate's attack at all, and once they participated, if the Shimazu family failed, they would definitely be liquidated by the Tokugawa shogunate, and it was likely to be changed by the shogunate at that time.

The other is that in the face of the ambitious Satsuma Domain, if they really want to defeat the shogunate, will the Shimazu family dominate Kyushu and then annex them? So these foreign daimyos are now also having their own ghosts, at least they and we are all in the same mind, that is, the ministry hopes that this battle will be decided, and the more difficult and tragic the battle, the better. At that time, their role will be great, and they can bet on both ends and choose according to the situation.

According to the information we have, when the shogunate army landed and marched to the Satsuma Domain, the feudal lords in various places along the way actively cooperated, provided food and supplies, sent troops to protect the logistics supply lines of the shogunate army, and mobilized a large number of peasants from the territory to be sent to the military camps of the shogunate army to serve as civilian husbands. It can be said that he has done enough work, hoping to get some dividends after the war.

If, at this time, we send a task force deep into the interior of Kyushu and burn and loot the territories of various foreign daimyos, it will inevitably make the feudal lords resentful of the shogunate. Although they must not dare to speak out now, once the situation changes drastically, such as the Tokugawa shogunate was defeated by the Satsuma clan. Then they will re-bet as well.

If the shogunate were defeated, their rule over the whole of Japan would be shaken, and the daimyo would be ready to move around Japan. The victory of the Satsuma clan over the powerful Tokugawa shogunate will surely be responded to by the daimyo of the feudal lords throughout Kyushu, and the atrocities committed by the Tokugawa shogunate in their territory will inevitably be exploited by them. They're sure to use the topic to make a big splash. At that time, if the Satsuma clan took the opportunity to unite the Kyushu domains, it would have enough strength to resist the shogunate's counterattack. ”

Zhou Billy, who had been thinking about it beside him, suddenly walked to the side of the sand table in a few steps, pointed to the sand table and said to everyone: "Commander, I think your plan is good, but the pattern is still a little smaller, sending hundreds of people to slaughter a few villages will not have any impact on the feudal lords in various parts of Kyushu." The life and death of hundreds of peasants in the territory. They are unlikely to take it to heart. Even if they use the topic to play, it will inevitably seem far-fetched. ”

Li Ming raised his head and glanced at Billy Zhou, he knew that Billy Zhou must have a new idea. The other people in the room were also interested, and everyone knew that this guy was full of bad water, and he might have some bad idea.

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Billy Zhou said lightly: "Although the shogunate attaches more importance to the Gyeonggi region, it doesn't pay much attention to remote areas like Kyushu. However, the Tokugawa family still had some arrangements in Kyushu. Please see, in the northeastern part of Kyushu, the Bunzen Province and the Bungo Province in the northeastern part of Kyushu, which are adjacent to Honshu, are arranged with several genealogy daimyos. They were the Ogasawara family and its side branches of the Ogura Domain and the Nitta Domain, the Okuhira family of the Nakatsu Domain, the Matsudaira (Mimi) family of the Kitsuki Domain, and the Matsudaira (Ogi) family of the Funachi Domain.

In addition, in the northwestern Hizen Province, there are also the Ogasawara family side branch of the Karatsu Domain, and the Naito family and its side branch of the Nobeoka Domain of the Hyuga Province in the southeast. The location of these pedigree daimyo is very crucial, and several landing points of the Tokugawa shogunate landing in Kyushu are also located in the territory of these pedigree daimyo daimyos, which shows that the shogunate is still not so at ease with Kyushu.

They were determined to start a war against the Shimazu family this time. The vast landing of nearly 100,000 troops in Kyushu must also have the purpose of deterring the various feudal domains in Kyushu, so the feudal lords in all parts of Kyushu are now panicking. If at this time, there is news that a certain feudal domain of Chikugo Province or Bungo Province has been destroyed by the shogunate. The impact on the feudal lords of Kyushu is certainly enormous, and even on the daimyo of feudal lords throughout Japan. ”

Li Ming glanced at the sand table, then shook his head and said, "It is not easy to send a large army deep into the interior of Kyushu to complete such a task. This is not the slaughter of a village, it is the destruction of a castle of a feudal lord. ”

Song Tao listened to Li Ming's words, and immediately became excited, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Commander, our special combat team also requests to participate in this operation, we are responsible for solving the feudal lord and his important retainers, and then send an independent brigade of the Death Army to cooperate with us to ensure that the task can be completed." If you are paralyzed, you finally have a chance to kill the devil. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone invariably looked at Fujita next to him, and in the face of everyone's gaze, Fujita was also stunned. He also muttered in his heart, Song Tao said to kill the devil, you see my dry hair.

But everyone is really worried, Fujita didn't think he was Japanese at all, and he didn't know what was going on with the Japanese devils, he and the Japanese samurai of the death army now regarded themselves as members of the Far East. He just wondered why everyone was looking at him, and he was confused.

Li Ming glanced at Fujita, glared at Song Tao fiercely, and then scolded: "What are you doing with it, this task is very important, if you don't get into it, don't make trouble, when you perform the mission, if you show your feet, then our mission will be a snake." ”

Song Tao said with a nonchalant face: "I think Lao Zhou's idea is very good, if you want to do it, make it big." Now there are nearly 100,000 shogunate troops in various parts of Kyushu, and as long as we put on the clothes of the shogunate army and fish in troubled waters under the banner of the Tokugawa family, we should be fine. This plan is really inseparable from our special combat team, and the Death Army didn't say anything about killing people, but if they want to infiltrate the rear of the shogunate army without knowing it, and then complete the task and then withdraw smoothly, do you think they are sure? ”

Fujita next to him also nodded and said, "Lord Commander, I also agree with Chief Zhou's opinion, with the help of Chief Song's special combat team, the Death Army guarantees that it can complete this combat mission smoothly." Our Death Army samurai will also kill the enemy bravely, and if the plan fails, all the soldiers of the Death Army participating in the operation will cut their stomachs and never reveal the identity of the company. ”

Hu Guosheng also nodded and said: "Commander, this plan still has a certain degree of feasibility, the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Satsuma Domain are fighting fiercely in the area of Higo Province and Hyuga Country, and all parts of Kyushu will also be very chaotic." If it is planned carefully, it is still very possible for the special combat team and an independent brigade of the daredevils to go deep into the hinterland of Kyushu to complete the mission.
