Chapter 236: Xiyi Great Civil Strife
On May 17, it had been more than three days since the second counterattack fleet of the previous Sonsho faction was completely annihilated, and in these three days and nearly four days, the first expeditionary fleet of the sun did not set to complete the strategic deployment of the first stage of the regrouping in the Shiro Inland Sea and counterattacking the Bia Inland Sea: the capture of Tanegashima.
This overall area is less than 1/2 of the Sardinian Islands, is the most remote island in the northeast of the Bia Inland Sea, but it is also the midpoint of the golden route from the Bia Inland Sea to the four inland seas, and its oil and water are not much, the land on the island is barren, and the population is only more than 4,000 people, but the strategic location is not bad, plus Sun Lin has to establish several military supply lines and transit stations along the way, and Tanegashima is a good choice. Therefore, when delineating the offensive route, Sun Lin decisively abandoned the shortest but dangerous open sea route proposed by Soley, and instead set an S-shaped channel as the marching route, and Tanegashima became the first stop of the advance route.
Although the shogunate's two counterattacks did not exhaust the food, grass, armaments, and money of the United Nations in the Saiyi Islands, they did emptied the veterans and warships of the country. This kind of result leads to the fact that now, the battleships that never set the sun wander outside the port every day, but the Xiyi side doesn't even dare to fart, and in the battle, there are only 100 people on the side that will not set tomorrow, but they can only run away from the more than 400 people in their three teams. And this kind of thinking eventually led to the Xiyi side is getting worse and worse, and morale has been at a low point, of course, there are other aspects of the impact, such as those defeated Xiyi commanders actually have a very strange idea, like: "The sun does not set on the side is blessed by the gods, as long as you believe in Christianity, there will be no war dead" and so on, as a result, when Sun Lin decided to jointly get rid of the potentially dangerous Mahayana Buddhism, Sun Lin couldn't help but find that most of the Mahayana Buddhism believers have secretly become Christians.
With no veterans to train new recruits and no warships to defend the island's coastline, the sun never sets to capture any island as easily as taking something in your pocket, as long as you let dozens of Hawk assault ships rush forward and fire a few rounds with naval scorpion crossbows and canister bows at a time, and then let the giant crossbowmen disembark for mobile and adjustable long-range support, let the heavily armed swordsmen attract enemy arrows to cover the advance of the Shoyoshi team, and then let the Shoyi team rush into the castle tower, needless to say rush to the front of the castle tower, These Shoyoshi teams, which have the effect of frightening the enemy infantry, only need to slaughter dozens of Saiyi Ashigaru on the first floor of the castle tower, and all these recruits who were frightened by the baptism of war will surrender, and even mutiny will help the sun not set to slaughter the members of the retainers who remained in the castle tower to be loyal to the shogunate, which is how the castle tower on Tanegashima came.
However, although the battle was so easy, Sun Lin was more vigilant against Xiyi, although his side annihilated the enemy veteran troops twice in a row, and also killed nearly 30 patriarchs and elite troops of Xiyi families, but Sun Lin did not believe that these family patriarchs would not leave a hole card for their descendants or leaders and managers before leaving. These intrigues and intrigues, and the patriarchs of the families who calculate and calculate every day will not be ignorant of the truth that their own territory and castle guard are the foundation of their own foothold.
However, in the three days so far, including the Tanegashima Castle Defense, there have been several siege battles of Honmaru (which is slightly worse than the castle tower), and Sun Lin's soldiers have encountered all new recruits, and even the combat effectiveness of the retainers has been more than twice as bad as what they encountered in the two counterattacks, which is very unreasonable.
For the sake of insurance, Sun Lin divided his troops along the planned march route to occupy the castle tower and Honmaru around the route, and did not advance quickly, every time he occupied an island, the sun never set side had to search the island, and the population count was accurate to 10 digits, before agreeing to those who were recruited from the territory of the Maori family, absolutely loyal and the sun never set empire Ashigaru stationed, and at the same time as the search, there was also a fleet near the island that could land on the island at any time to counterattack the old back army.
On the other hand, Sun Lin once again used the intelligence network established by the empire in the Western Continent and began to collect information to find out why this unreasonable happened, and ................as a result, Sun Lin had not signed the consent to activate the Western Continent Intelligence Network, and a bombshell-level news that Sun Lin expected and was unexpectedly reached Sun Lin - the former Xiyi shogunate general was killed on the spot by myocardial infarction after learning that the new counterattack army was wiped out here on the evening of May 16, and the next day was in the early hours of this morning, The shogunate was overthrown, the entire shogunate was ignited by the fire, and the one who overthrew the shogunate was actually the one who once pretended to be stupid and stunned, and the emperor who was loyal to the emperor as a shield, what is even more surprising is that the emperor of Xiyi has not regained power for 1 hour, and the entire imperial family, including his nephew, has been killed, and the killing party is the abdominal family that has mastered more than half of the ninjas in Xiyi, and at the same time, the abdominal family publicly admitted that their family was responsible for this incident, and admitted that they did it to take revenge, and the patriarch of the abdomen family also said, While he succeeded in avenging the former shogun, he deserved to be the new shogun, and the result was ......... Xiyi began full-scale civil strife. (PS: Sun Lin's spy really can't deliver the latest news to Sun Lin within half a day, but Sun Lin can use the system to enter the eyes and brains of the spy who collects intelligence, and know the latest situation instantly)
First of all, the former sworn enemies of the Belly Family, the Tokugawa family, which also belonged to the Shogunate faction, jumped out to declare war on the Belly Family, and then the remnants of the Loyal Emperor faction jumped out under the banner of maintaining for the emperor and announced that they would kill every Zunsho faction family, and at the same time, the families within the Loyal Emperor faction, which also did not have the emperor as the leader, also drew their swords against the families that had stumbled on them in the previous faction. And the Zunmu faction, which was provoked by the Loyal Emperor faction, also attacked the Loyal Emperor faction in an all-out way, and of course the internal fighting within it was also going on.
Although Sun Lin expected this kind of thing to happen, what Sun Lin didn't expect was that Xiyi's side would be so divided, if there were more than 100 tenshu and honmaru in the previous Xiyi Islands United Nations, then there will be more than 100 factions in Xiyi now, or even more, and these more than 100 factions have a common characteristic: there is no ally, but the enemy is in groups.
In this regard, Sun Lin could only helplessly hold his forehead and say, "It's all messed up.........."
PS:I've been busy lately.,The update time of the two updates has been adjusted to the evening shamelessly to ask for a collection and a recommendation.
