At the same time that the captain led the leading detachment and with the cooperation of the Military Intelligence Division, completely occupied the two places of Chikuzen and Chikugo, a detachment sent by the Navy drove to the port of Nagasaki with two repaired infantry squadrons and an infantry artillery company.

Nagasaki was one of the only two ports in the entire Wakoku that could communicate with foreign countries, and the shogunate had a strong defense, and in addition to the fact that it was attacked once last year, the shogunate set up a standing army here to prevent another problem with this tax-heavy area.

20 fast crabs, with their sails raised, rushed into the harbor together, alarming the sentinels, who immediately sounded the alarm.

Hundreds of Japanese iron guns quickly entered the earthen platform built around the port, and used small-caliber guns and arquebuses to shoot at the fast crabs.

The fast crab fleet formed two rows of horizontal arrays, constantly drawing an arc and taking turns to sweep in front of the Japanese position, and the powerful iron bullets fired by the 10-pound long-barreled heavy guns on the ship smashed on the mound of earth one by one, but after two rounds of shooting, the enemy in the earth platform was forced to retreat.

Under the cover of the navy's 10-pound guns, the army directly forced a landing in the port area of Nagasaki, and after easily defeating the embarrassed shogunate army that had been bombarded by artillery, the army immediately rushed into the city with the rout.

Then came the street fighting, and the Xuan Army's change of organization last year reflected his flexible characteristics, with two squadrons scattered on the streets as a company, and then a squad unit below to cover each other's advances.

The various sophisticated firearms, which accounted for more than 60 percent of the entire establishment, gave a fierce blow to any enemy who dared to appear on the narrow streets.

The shogunate who were hiding in the house and wanted to fight in close combat were firmly blocked by the killer team who walked against the wall, and then were killed one by one by firearms and spears.

The shogunate army, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, was no match for the Xuan army at all, and it was beaten with its head scurry.

What's even more tragic is that because these low-level soldiers don't have enough to eat all year round, they are powerless even if they escape.

The soldiers of the Xuan Army had received high-intensity, high-consumption training for a long time, and had become accustomed to long-distance running and heavy combat, coupled with adequate nutritional food supplies and sophisticated combat equipment, after the end of the war, none of these escaped shogunate soldiers were able to escape, and all of them were captured in the prisoner camp.

When the dust settled, Chen Xin arrived here by boat with a few staff officers, preparing to restore order here and build his own ruling institutions.

Walking along the cleaned up streets of Nagasaki's commercial port, you can clearly feel that Nagasaki was still a little depressed due to the war.

However, the strict military discipline of the soldiers still made Xuanjun gain a certain degree of trust from the merchants here within a few days, and business activities gradually began to recover.

This is the second time to capture Nagasaki, last year, because of the lack of craftsmen, Chen Xin once personally led troops here to loot once, and also pulled out the Dutch merchant house here, the Dutch can only come to Nagasaki once a year to trade, after capturing this place again, it was found that the Dutch merchant house is still in ruins.

Last time, I came and went in a hurry, but unlike last time, this time Chen Xin did not plan to withdraw his troops, this place will become his own sphere of influence, and it will become the territory of China in the future.

After the Edo shogunate defeated all the opposition and completely took control of the Wa Kingdom, it explicitly promulgated the "One Country, One Castle"

This means that a vassal state can only have one castle with a walled city, which is to prevent the daimyo from accumulating strength and rebelling again.

This decree undoubtedly greatly facilitated Chen Xin's capture of Kyushu.

Immediately after taking control of Nagasaki, the two infantry squadrons dispersed as companies and, with the cooperation of the navy, swept the surrounding area to clear the samurai and scholar classes that posed a threat to their rule.

In this busy farming season, all parts of the country were busy in the fields, and even the soldiers all went home to help, and the so-called samurai who occasionally gathered together were also peaceful for a long time, and there was no vigilance at all, and the scattered troops made very smooth progress, and quickly captured the whole of Hizen.

For the former rulers of the Japanese state, those who dared to resist were all killed, and those who were willing to surrender were imprisoned and sent to the northern part of the country, while for ordinary civilians, under strict military discipline, the Xuan army did not violate it at all.

After the shogunate issued a ban on the sea, all the ships built by the Wa Kingdom were small boats that could only sail near the sea, and the large ships were all bought from the Ming Dynasty across the sea.

This also facilitated the navy's blockade of the sea routes, and the few large ships that were left were all monitored, and after that, as long as they patrolled carefully, it was impossible for any ship to escape from the coastal course.

All ships that tried to pass through the straits on both sides were stopped, and if they tried to force their way through, they were forcibly sunk.

It has been almost two months since the establishment of the Hamasaki advance base in the Wakoku Kingdom, and even since the official opening of the plan, it has been a month, and with the cooperation of the Eagle Hayabusa, the navy, and the reconnaissance and search force, the Edo shogunate still does not know that Kyushu has undergone great changes.

Unfortunately, this style of play will not last long, and in the next battle, I am afraid that there will continue to be fish that slip through the net, not only the number of falcons has begun to be insufficient, but the reconnaissance forces used to intercept and search ground targets have also begun to be overstretched.

After the remaining four squadrons, with the cooperation of the rangers, captured Toyozen and Toyogo, the defense of the occupied area also began to plague Chen Xin.

The various places have just been occupied, and if they do not divide their troops to garrison, it is very likely that there will be a rebellion, but if they divide their troops, then their already small forces will be wasted in vain for a long time.

"This is only a small part of one of the four major islands of the Japanese country, and sure enough, for me, who is still very weak, the Japanese country is still too big, and it seems that it is still necessary to build an organization in the Japanese country as soon as possible."

In the following period, in order to reduce the burden of the expeditionary force, under the order of Chen Xin, the troops scattered in various places collected autumn grain from the Japanese peasants who had just finished the autumn harvest, and the collected tax grain would be used as the supply of military rations for the local garrison.

For this expedition, most of the transport ships used for maritime trade were withdrawn, which had a certain impact on commercial activities, among which the most tonnage was grain transportation, after the autumn grain collection, most of the transport ships were liberated at once, and commercial activities began to return to normal.

At the time of the collection of autumn grain, a census and land measurement were also carried out by the way, laying a solid foundation for the next stage of work.

Immediately afterwards, in order to consolidate the dominant position of the Xuan army over the occupied areas, all the troops were dispatched to carry out "village consolidation" in the occupied areas.

The peasants in various localities were divided into households and reorganized, and then according to the organization method of other districts under their own jurisdiction, 10 households were grouped, 500 households were divided into one village, and 10 villages were divided into one township.

Each township set up a township office, first of all, to distribute land to the former landless peasants, and to pull these people into their own camp.

After that, they stirred up their enthusiasm for the land, and in the name of "defending land reform", they used these people as the main force to form a local backbone militia, and when they were reorganized, they made a good plan, and each village could form at least one company of the backbone militia.

There are still a lot of arquebuses in stock, and they are being transferred from North Korea and South Korea while training the militia.

By the time the first month of basic training was completed, the transported arquebuses were ready to equip all the basic militia companies.

After leaving a squad in each township to garrison and continue to train the basic militia, Chen Xin began to gather all the other soldiers and prepare for battle.

Because, after occupying Kyushu Island for several months, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Edo shogunate, who is now in power, finally got the news that the northern part of Kyushu Island was occupied by "a gang of pirates".
