Chapter 783: Japan (27)

Since listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Shimazu Tadashi has almost lost his mind. A few days after returning from the Far Eastern Japanese Theater Command, he couldn't even sleep well, and he could wake up laughing every day from a dream.

All he thinks about all of Japan is the scene of ruling the whole of Japan, and if that day comes, then he will create the eternal foundation of the Shimazu family, and he will be able to become a god after death. Whenever he thought of this, his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

For the Far East, Shimazu Tadashi is not too worried, he always believes that the Far East has no intention of getting involved in Japan, and supporting their Shimazu family is nothing more than wanting to raise a loyal dog and control Japan instead.

The Far East occupies a large area of land in Liaodong, and their strength is so strong, it must be a matter of time before they replace the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, how can they still look down on this remote island of Japan. As long as he is loyal to the Far East, the Shimazu family will be able to gain a firm foothold in Japan.

As for the future, who can say clearly, the dynasties of the Central Plains have only been prosperous for a hundred years, and then they will slowly enter recession, if the Shimazu family runs Japan well, there will definitely be a chance to get rid of the control of the Far East in the future.

Thinking of this, Shimazu Tadashi's heart began to heat up again. If the Far East can help him destroy all the Japanese warlords, then their Shimazu family can truly control Japan.

"Lord...... Lord...... The Far East has raised troops......"

At this moment, a samurai came galloping from a distance, shouting loudly as he ran.

Shimazu Tadashi and a group of retainers around him were extremely excited when they heard it. The Far East was finally about to raise troops, and they were suffocated for more than two months, so they thought about defeating the Tokugawa shogunate and going to Kyoto in one go.

Although Shimazu Tadashi was also very excited, he looked at the layers of earthen forts in the distance again. But his face became solemn. It's not so easy to break through the Tokugawa family's defense, and I don't know how many people will die.

Numerous warships of the Far Eastern Admiralty converged on the coast of Harima, and the officers and men of the two cavalry divisions of the Southern Army Corps landed in advance, and they would join up with the Kyushu Division as the main assault force for the ground offensive. They were accompanied by a large number of Soviet-style mechanized engineering vehicles that had arrived from the combat engineer battalion from Vladivostok.

At the same time. The waters near Tokyo Bay, Hitachi Province, and Ise Bay are also full of sails, and the main forces of several corps in the Japanese theater in the Far East have all been assembled and rapidly deployed, ready to launch a general attack at any time.

Gao Jianguo also landed on Harima Beach and established the Japanese Theater Command in the camp area of the Kyushu Division. Shimazu Tadashi and his retainers, as well as daimyo from all over Kyushu, rushed over. I want to meet the great generals of the Far East.

But they were all blocked by a gang of fierce Far Eastern troops, with bayonets. Gao Jianguo had already given an order that no one should step into the camp before the general offensive began. So that Shimazu Tadashi and them can only wait outside. Although Shimazu Tadashi is the division commander of the Kyushu Division, he wants to enter the military camp of the division, and he has to report at various levels, and the procedures are very cumbersome.

A group of Kyushu daimyo also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Even the low-level samurai and ashigaru under their command were scattered and reorganized. I've been training in this camp. They hadn't seen their men for more than two months, and if they didn't have any soldiers at this time, they were nothing.

And what annoyed them the most was that the Far East actually imposed house arrest on them, and they were provided with good food and drink every day, but they were not allowed to leave here. They can't go back to Kyushu if they want to.

But they dare not speak out, they have seen the strength of the Far East, who would dare to provoke the Far East at this time. They didn't dare to provoke the Far East, but here at Shimazu Tadashi, they still had to complain.

"Shimazu-sama. We joined the Kyushu coalition and fought all the way from Kyushu to here, with heavy casualties. Now even the remnants of our defeated army have been swallowed up. ”

"Yes, my lord, now we can't go back to Kyushu if we want to, where is the Far East going to put us!"

"The Far East is about to raise troops, what should we do, my lord, can you help us ask the general for a while, and let us follow you into the war."

Shimazu Tadashi listened to their complaints, and his heart was also tired, but he couldn't cool everyone's hearts, so he could only comfort them. In fact, now even he doesn't know what the charter of the Far East is, how he is also the division commander of the Kyushu Division, and his nearly 10,000 Satsuma samurai and ashigaru are now in this camp, but he can't even see each other. The Far East raised troops to attack the Tokugawa shogunate, and he was unable to participate in it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became worried about the fate of the Satsuma Domain. Will the Far East defeat Japan and kick the Shimazu clan away? The more Shimazu Tadashi thought about it, the more bottomless he became.

Just when Shimazu Tadashi and the others were anxious outside the camp, Gao Jianguo was at the Japanese Theater Command, constantly liaising with the troops in various attack directions to make the final preparations before the general attack.

Gao Jianguo put down the microphone and said to Lin Hua, the chief of staff next to him: "Before the general offensive begins, inform Shimazu Tadashi that they will come to the headquarters and let them go to the forward position with the headquarters." ”

Lin Hua said with a smile: "They have already come over and have been waiting outside for a day. ”

Gao Jianguo sneered when he heard this: "Then let them wait, what do they have to do with the war." ”

"Commander, those daimyo of Kyushu, shouldn't we find a way to settle them? After all, we have dug up all the people's nests, and if we let them get the news, we must not mess around. ”

Listening to Lin Hua's words, Gao Jianguo frowned and thought for a while, and then ordered: "Lin Hua, you go and arrange it tonight, inform Shimazu Tadashi and other daimyo in Kyushu, let them go to the camp next to them, and say that I will invite them." Before the general attack of the troops, dispose of them all, and do it in front of Shimazu Tadashi. ”

That night, Shimazu Tadashi and a group of daimyo from all over Kyushu received a notice from Lin Hua to let them participate in the banquet organized by Gao Jianguo. This made Shimazu Tadashi happy, and before it was dark, he and a group of daimyo in Kyushu rushed to the barracks.

As a result, when they arrived, they found that there was only a small square table in this camp, with a few small dishes on the table, and only Gao Jianguo was sitting there alone and drinking himself. Behind him stood heavily armed Far Eastern officers and soldiers.

When Gao Jianguo saw them coming, he beckoned to Shimazu Zhongheng and said with a smile: "Shimazu-kun, come and have a drink with me." ”

Shimazu Tadashi couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only walk over with a smile, sit down opposite the small square table, and respectfully asked, "General, this is ......" (to be continued......
