Chapter 847: Miyazaki's Raiders Begin

That night, the massacre and looting of a specific group of people in Okazaki Castle kept the entire city asleep.

Screams, wanton cruel laughter, cries for help and pleas hovered over Okazaki Castle all night.

If you are not a person with a particularly strong psychology, then it is impossible for a normal person to have a good rest on such a night.

To be able to sleep in such a situation, how perverted and powerful it must be.

At least, the next day, Tokugawa Kayo had two panda eyes.

The next morning, the streets of Okazaki Castle were deserted, and the shops that had been open long ago and the people who had come out to do business did not appear.

Therefore, it suddenly seems that the entire Okazaki City is so lonely and lonely.

Yuji Kawabe was not surprised at all by this, after all, Okazaki Castle had just experienced a war, and it was unlikely that he would be able to restore normal life order in a short period of time.

It is only when the people of Okazaki Castle get used to it that they can return to their normal life.

And now the people in Okazaki City also have a big worry.

That is, they were worried that after the fall of Okazaki Castle, the samurai belonging to the Miyazaki domain belonging to the Fujita family would entangle a large number of troops to start a counterattack against Okazaki Castle.

When the time comes, Okazaki Castle will definitely usher in another big battle.

It is precisely because of this worry that the people in Okazaki City do not have the energy to do things at all, but are mostly worried at home.

In fact, the people of Okazaki Castle knew that there were not many soldiers of the Fujita family in the entire Miyazaki territory, because of the earlier battle of Maitreya, the elite troops of the Fujita family had all been lost, and even some militiamen became prisoners of the empire in Okazaki City.

Even though there are still a small number of Fujita garrisons in other parts of the Miyazaki territory, the number of those garrisons is really small.

Even after they learned the news of the fall of Okazaki Castle, they still had the courage to gather and start a counterattack against Okazaki Castle. But how many soldiers and horses can they organize?

According to terrible intelligence, the number of troops that the Miyazaki area can organize now is definitely no more than four hundred.

Four hundred, this is the most powerful force of the Fujita family scattered outside.

With just these four hundred people, how could they fight back against Okazaki City.

It's not good, after these guys learned about the incident on Okazaki Castle and the news of the defeat of Maitreya, they all blocked the deserters.

In short, Okazaki Castle is very safe.

It's just that the people at the bottom don't understand. The source of their news is not as convenient as Yuji Kawabe, so it is normal for them to be worried about this.

Early the next morning, Yuji Kawabe met Yoshiyo Tokugawa.

After a night, Fujita's residence has been sorted out, and some of the blood stains in the house have been cleaned, waiting for Tokugawa Kayo to move in.

Yuji Kawabe came to see Tokugawa Kayo early in the morning, and in addition to telling her about it, there was another important thing.

"Yuji-sama, what did you come to see me in the morning?"

Just got up. The little girl with two black eyes asked.

Yuji Kawabe knelt opposite Tokugawa Kayo and said solemnly: "Miss, now that Okazaki Castle has been conquered, we have captured more than 6,000 militiamen. Arguably. Now in the entire Miyazaki territory, there are no more armies that can fight against us. With the demise of the Fujita family, no one will stand up and make trouble under the banner of the Fujita family, so I plan to start attacking immediately. I will begin to attack Cape Toi from the south, and then capture Heijo and Kushijin, with a view to taking all the southern part of Emiyazaki in our hands in a short time. ”

Facing Kayo Tokugawa. Yuji Kawabe stated his intentions and hoped that Tokugawa Kayo would agree.

After all, Tokugawa Kayo is now his own nominal leader, so if a strategic intention like this is to be implemented, then Tokugawa Kayo's approval is required.

This can be regarded as a counterbalance to Yuji Kawabe, who has the soldiers, and Yuji Kawabe knows this in his heart, but he is not disgusted by it at all.

Because if he was in Zhao Hongyu's position, he might have done even more than Zhao Hongyu.

So if you think about it this way, Yuji Kawabe doesn't think it's a big deal.

Fortunately, although Tokugawa Kayo doesn't know much, she can listen to some suggestions, so she basically won't make mistakes in the general direction.

"Well, it's still very good that Lord Yuji has such a plan. It's just that we just went through two big battles yesterday, and now the soldiers' physical strength has recovered? And if we do what you want, then we will have to divide our forces. Isn't that going to get us in trouble? ”

Tokugawa Kayo heard Yuji Kawabe say this, and she quickly put this plan in her head.

Strictly speaking, Yuji Kawabe's plan is completely correct.

Therefore, Tokugawa Kayo agrees with this plan very much in his heart.

It's just that, as she said, if this plan is carried out, then they will have to divide their forces. Leaving their already small number of troops even smaller, Okazaki Castle has just been conquered, so will it pose a threat to their domination of Okazaki Castle?

This is a matter that has to be carefully considered.

Yuji Kawabe nodded, he admired the little girl Tokugawa Kayo.

Although she is very young, she doesn't know much about military things, and she is a little soft-hearted, but she will have a bloody opinion on many things, and she is not so brainless and useless.

If it weren't for the fact that he was destined to become an opponent of mutual checks and balances in the future, Yuji Kawabe was still willing to have a good relationship with her.

It's just that the smart Yuji Kawabe knows that if he gets too close to Tokugawa Yoshiyo, then it will inevitably make the crown prince Zhao Hongyu wary of himself.

At that point, it was quite dangerous to be yourself.

Therefore, Yuji Riverbe, who has always known how to save himself, will not make such a mistake.

As a result, he began to distance himself from Tokugawa Kayo, and even began to plan for the future. It can be regarded as a show for Zhao Hongyu, he is not a person who is on the same path as Tokugawa Kayo.

People are fat and generally not smart, in fact, this is a very wrong statement.

Although the fat man looks a little unintelligent. But in fact, there are still many smart people among the fat people.

At least, the fat man of Yuji Riverside is much smarter than the thin man of Iguchi Shuzo.

"Miss, I've actually thought about what you're worried about." Yuji Kawabe smiled, knelt opposite Tokugawa Kayo, and said to her with a smile. When Tokugawa Kayo heard this, his eyes widened: "Well, so Yuji-sama, do you have a solution?" ”

Tokugawa Kayo is still very interested in this.

After all. If this problem can really be solved, then it will be very beneficial for them.

There is now a vacuum in the Miyazaki area, and if it drags on for too long, some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out.

Even, some bandits and gangsters will take the opportunity to start making waves.

Therefore, in order to avoid these things, the most important thing now is to occupy the entire Miyazaki area and declare sovereignty in a short period of time. At the same time, in the process of occupation, with strong force, to deter some restless guys.

"Tokugawa-san, I told you. Yesterday we captured more than 6,000 defenders of Okazaki Castle, so we shouldn't have much of a gap in strength. ”

Then. Yuji Kawabe told Tokugawa Kayo everything he did yesterday.

After listening to Yuji Kawabe's narration, Kayo Tokugawa realized that Yuji Kawabe had already made arrangements.

"Say so. Can we use the captives of Okazaki who surrendered? Tokugawa Kayo frowned, she was still not very reassured about the loyalty of these captives.

Yuji Kawabe frowned when he saw Kayo Tokugawa. knew what she was worried about, so she opened her mouth to persuade: "Miss, this is also a matter of no choice. Now we have very few troops, so we have to rely on their strength to make up for the disadvantage of our lack of troops. At the same time, I don't think too much about their loyalty, as long as we give them enough benefits, then there is nothing wrong with them coming to work for us. ”

"You mean give them money?" , Tokugawa Kayo asked tentatively. Yuji Kawabe on the other side nodded: "The Fujita family has very few soldiers, we can give them three times, I think these prisoners who were originally militia will not refuse this benefit." Because even if they went home to farm, they would not be able to earn such a salary, so they had no reason to refuse. ”

Yuji Kawabe knows the minds of the people at the bottom and the soldiers very well.

In fact, there is no such thing as faith at all in this era, especially in the hearts of the low-level soldiers and ordinary people.

Even though the so-called bushido is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this kind of thinking is only influential within the samurai class.

The soldiers at the bottom would not have such thoughts.

Their idea is very ordinary, give me money, and I will be a soldier for you.

Lo and behold, it's that simple.

After all, if there is a difference in class, then the view of things and ideas is completely different.

If he hadn't been at the bottom, Yuji Riverside wouldn't have known the way.

It is precisely because of this that Yuji Riverbe will say so surely. Because he knew the minds of the people at the bottom and the soldiers, he would say such things.

"It's not impossible to give money, the Fujita family has a lot of wealth, enough for us to pay the salaries of those soldiers. In fact, the tax revenue in the entire Miyazaki area is still very good, but Fujita is relatively stingy, so the salaries given to the soldiers will not be much. ”

Kayo Tokugawa nodded and said to Yuji Kawabe.

Yuji Kawabe said with a smile: "At the same time, when I leave, I will communicate with the Imperial Army and let them leave 2,000 people in Okazaki City, so that there will be no danger in Okazaki City, right." And I will also leave 3,000 captives, and you can completely absorb them into the Tokugawa family's system......"

Yuji Kawabe's words made Tokugawa Kayo's eyes light up. (To be continued......)
