Chapter 225. The Mao family also has retainers

At sunset, it was true that Mao Jue's order. Jiuzhou County, the northernmost part, was also accompanied by a group of men waving their sabers and running in the sunset, shouting that the passing youth fell in response. The 68 Japanese government commanded the country, and the territory of 210,000 stones fell into Mao Jue's hands.

However, it seems to be amazing, but in fact the territory captured is only one county, which is a little more difficult than Li Zicheng's capture of a county in the Ming Dynasty. There is no way, it's too unexpected!

First, Mao Jue came from the sea, even in the wars of the Warring States Period in Japan, there were only a few naval battles, and the Japanese almost had no idea. Second, Tokugawa Ieyasu pacified the troubled times and promulgated the "All Regulations of the Martial Family". If a family of samurai was not allowed to enter another family territory without the permission of the shogunate, on the contrary, if it came in, it would definitely be allowed.

The third point is that Mao Juejun is too tall and strong, and he still has money to buy armor. In this way, people in Japan must have only the samurai class, not the bandits, cats and dogs. Those people can’t even eat enough, let alone grow such a body of tendon flesh.

This world is really desperate, and it depends on the face when fighting. With their fierce faces, more than 200 defenders in four counties died under the knife inexplicably. It’s really a ghost and a confused person.

In the evening, Mao Jue also got his first bonus for coming to Japan, about 70,000 stones of grain and about 10,000 taels of gold and silver.

"General, please don't take it lightly. The pillar power of the family the day before yesterday was mostly scattered in the countryside, especially the general retainers. The day before yesterday had hundreds of retainers and more than ten thousand. Although this could reach the country, it also had hundreds of retainers from about a hundred of them, and it was a great force to gather together."

"Oh? I know!"

Listening to Kuroda Nobuhi's advice, Mao Jue nodded slightly.

The system of Japan is really very similar to that of China's Spring and Autumn Period. The Emperor is the cowardly Emperor Zhou, the cowardly Emperor of the Warring States Period, and the monarchs of various vassal states. The retainers under their command are similar to the ministers and landlords under the vassal states. The warriors downward are the sects, and they are completely feudal. However, since the Qin Dynasty, China has already transformed into a unified bureaucratic society, while the Japanese still maintained the primitive feudal class and were loyal to them.

Just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was the world's people back then, could only order his retainer Honda Tadao through Tokugawa Ieyasu, and could not let Honda Tadao directly serve him allegiance.

These small and small landlord families, called retainers, were scattered in the territory of Daming and Shogun. Their land was called Zhixing Land, and they were the smallest feudal lords. During wars, they needed to send troops to fight with the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are also a large number of lower-level warriors and flags who have no knowledge and practice. They live directly in the Daming Jucheng military camp and rely on receiving support rice and giving gold to live. They are completely professional soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not very good.

If you want to invade the Kanto Plain on Honshu Island, it is essential to have a strong battle foot on Honshu Island. The terrain of the peninsula is really suitable for Dongjiang, which is both water and land. After a few more glances at the rice and grain transported on the ship. After a while, Mao Jue's eyes suddenly became fierce. Without turning around, he waved his hand backwards to Liu Xingzuo.

"I will understand!"

He quickly ran to the front of the horse again, and turned over the horse. The murderer shouted loudly.

"Follow me! Kill!"

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, the cavalry outside the frontier rushed out again with a bloody sabre.

…………

When the Kuroda family was at the Kuroda family, the five brothers of the Liu family were already familiar with the road. Several manors in the countryside of Jiuzhou County were the first to be unlucky. The manor door was blocked unreasonably, and several torches were thrown into the thin wooden house of the Japanese. Several teams of cavalry held several doors, one came out and one was cut to death and the other was cruel and outrageous.

But Ci doesn't take charge of the army! Although the war is going well, it seems that Mao Jue is going to bully the Japanese. In fact, it is a lonely town in Dongjiang to fight against Japan with a population of more than 20 million. If he accidentally, his entire army will be wiped out. Mao Jue is a general of Dongjiang and does not have the strength and realm of an internationalist warrior, so he cannot lose every step. No matter how innocent the retainers of the family the day before yesterday, since they have entered this war, they must be killed and killed! The moon is dark and the wind is high, and when they are killed and set fire, one night, the twenty-three retainers of the Maeda family in Jiuzhou County were all destroyed, and none of them are left.

The bloody weather brought unprecedented high efficiency. The narrow exit that could reach the peninsula was blocked by Mao Jue. The retainers who were unwilling to be killed collected more than a thousand warriors the day before yesterday, and rushed to the Dongjiang Army's main formation and killed them.

In the afternoon, Fuyue Mountain.

On any peninsula, there are mountains as bones. Although the peaks here are not high, only three or four hundred meters, they are enough to have a military advantage.

Mao Jue has not been defeated so far. The big reason is that most of the battles are preset battlefields and then defending and counterattacking, and rarely launching offensives. To be honest, this is a good example in the general's ability ranking. Mao Jue commands operations to be too demanding of timing, battlefield, and terrain, and lacks initiative. It is easy for the enemy to slip away in front of him or fall into a passive position.

Fortunately, Mao Jue has always been lucky, and the chances given to him by fate are considered to be of top quality. This time it was almost the same. Early on, the Sixth Eighth Tenth Regiment, which landed from the fleet, had already set up three military camps on Mount Fugao and the valley roads. As these warriors advanced, the three phalanxes came out in neat steps with guns amid the sound of the battle roars, and set up formations across the mountain.

To be honest, in the past, they used to fight less, but this time, the Dongjiang Army was a little uncomfortable with the difficulty of fighting more with less. Even the commander had a little acquiescent intention. The iron guards held up bayonets and shouted provocatively, as if this was not a battle between life and death, and it was a bit of a game.

Mao Jue didn't have the heart to see this victory. He brought Adrena and Yu Le'er and two girls to cook tea under a big banyan tree behind the military formation in an arty manner.

But today, God seems to have not given him time to be lazy. The development of the battle has developed in a direction of dramatic drama. Before Mao Jue's tea has been boiled, the other end is watching the tenth regiment line up on the hillside, and the fierce fighting sounds suddenly sounded.

I'll go, the journey of the gods of thousands of miles? I'll make a soldier, and then the fight begins?

He threw the tea in shock. Mao Jue ran to the hillside in two steps, and then he realized that the tenth regiment was as confused as he was. Looking down, it was indeed a lively battle. The battlefield was ups and downs, full of blood, and climaxes were repeated. One by one, the Japanese warriors were full of passion and their personal courage was exerted to the extreme, and the sword flew over it with a flash of cold light, and they could always bring out a spike of blood.

The only thing that was wrong was that more than 70 retainers and more than 1,100 Japanese people fought on their own.

My heads are flying, and this situation is almost impossible to be a fake fight, but what is this routine? I know that I am dead, and I have to take revenge and revenge? Or start a previous fight to let myself see how unafraid of death the Japanese are?

The battlefield was more than 300 meters away, and it was on a plain where the mountain nest was circling. More than a thousand Japanese were fighting, and after watching for a long time, the Ming army of three regiments simply sat down and looked at it, and enthusiastically raised their hands to cheer. Although the Japanese couldn't understand what they shouted, and they didn't know who the Japanese fought, and they didn't know them.

"Go! That sun-helmet person, kick him in the butt, kick him!"

"Punch him, stab him! The one who wears bull horns on his head is really a damn ox? You stabbed him with a knife, but you didn't let him stab him with a horn."

The officers and soldiers were not allowed to leave the formation, but the officers could run around in the name of communicating military information, holding Yu Le'er's green tea that they learned and sold, and Mao Jue looked at Chen Rong and Zhao Tiehan speechlessly, and actually bet on a few taels of silver, betting that the one who had the papaya pattern flag could win or the one who had the fan pattern flag could win.

The Japanese became cruel and were ruthless in killing their own people. It was a life-and-death battle. By night, more than 1,100 warriors died in more than 400. Among them, twenty-one warrior family members with patterns were killed. The remaining fifty retainers were also covered with scars. They could decide to decide the outcome, right? The three regiments of soldiers who had been a day sat up again, and at the officer's order, they set up bayonets and moved forward neatly under the snare drum.

However, it was like a non-violent non-cooperative movement. The warriors who had been fighting for a long time seemed to turn a blind eye to the approaching Ming army, just sitting cross-legged and gasping for the whole afternoon was also a huge burden for these warriors who were not physically fit.

Immediately afterwards, facing the advancing Dongjiang Army, more than forty old Japanese soldiers walked out swayingly, swayed and knelt in front of the formation, held up the bloody samurai sword with both hands and pressed it on top of their heads.

Mao Jue then realized that he was worthy of being a retainer of the family the day before yesterday. His master would judge the situation and his retainers would do it. They fought each other for an afternoon, killing them so fiercely and fearlessly, in order to surrender.

But this is not unreasonable. For a family, what is more important than loyalty is inheritance! All people die, what's the use of loyalty?

This war is completely different from the traditional Japanese war. When others attacked, they tried their best to win over local families like them, transforming them from external retainers to universal retainers. This was considered to be a complete increase in power. For example, during the Warring States Period, the Kanto governor Uesugi Ken signaled that he was a war god, able to conquer and fight, and defeated the Kanto heroes many times, but his territory grew the slowest. On the contrary, he was called the Ritagong, who was once beaten by Takeda Shingen, but was able to quickly seize the world because the Tokugawa family's universal retainers group was much stronger than the Uesugi family.

But when he encountered Mao Jue, an unreasonable person, he would destroy the family as soon as he started. He was able to kill more than 100 vassals and retainers in the country. In the face of the family's life and death, the local tyrants who were unwilling to die quickly made clear their positions.

So the next day, after a "friendship exchange" between the Neng Ding family, after presenting facts and reasoning, the twenty-three retainers who did not agree to surrender the day before yesterday were persuaded and even put their heads on their hands. The remaining retainers united and fought for Mao Jue sincerely under the banner of Dongjiang.

If there were Guinness records in this era, Mao Jue would have cracked it, which would have been the Guinness record that would pacify a country the fastest.

There is no need to continue to destroy the family. Today, the more than 400 heads are enough to be the only ones left, so that the remaining families are no longer tolerated by the family the day before yesterday. In addition, according to the Japanese rules, each family has four or five boys and girls under the age of ten to be hostages under Mao Jue. They are those kind of attendants in the small surname. If they follow the level of the Japanese, as long as they can defend this and become a 210,000-stone name with retainers.

But now Mao Jue is not as domineering as Oda Nobunaga back then, and the battle still has to continue. In the depression of the five Liu brothers and three regiments participating in the war, Mao Jue announced that he had pardoned these fifty of those who could climb the earthen trenches and the Maeda family retainers.

On the third day, the dividends brought by the pardon began to appear before the Dongjiang Army. These people were all local figures. If they controlled them, they could control more than 70,000 Japanese people.

Nengguo is a peninsula hanging alone in the Sea of ​​Japan. The narrowest place is only more than ten miles wide, and there are mountains in the middle. Early on the third day, this narrow place became lively. A steady stream of Japanese farmers and fishermen were driven out of the land, holding hoes, and starting to work for Mao Jue.

Cement is really a good thing. As a cabin stone, Mao Jue brought a lot more than a piece of gunpowder and grain. In Yiqi, this one is transported to the island and outside Nagasaki Castle. The other end was replaced by land rocks. In two months, Mao Jue used only two-thirds of the remaining ones. The rest happened to be used here. Driven by the whip, these Japanese people first dug a trench more than one meter wide and more than one meter deep, mixed with the stones of the paved stones, fixed them with spare boat plates on both sides, and fixed the steel bars brought by Dongjiang in the middle, and repaired the side walls.

It is truly worthy of being the ruling class of the Wu family who ruled Japan for more than 500 years. It does not even need the Ming army to intervene. As long as Mao Jue talks about the requirements, the earthen moats in these places will immediately understand them and do it in a straightforward way.

However, at this time, all the main forces of the Dongjiang Army, five Iron Boxer Regiments, three Xiongjin Mercenaries trained in the Dongjiang mode, and the three thousand main forces of Jeju Island were all stationed south of the stone wall of the building.

At this time, the defense has not been built yet, and it is the most vulnerable time for the Dongjiang Army. If the Kaga army attacks, Mao Jue will have to use his precious troops to fight the Japanese army one-on-one on the plains. Although he can fight without doubt, he will still be unwilling to accept the unnecessary losses.

But just as Mao Jue's worried eyes, on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and until February 20th, the vigilant Kaga family troops did not come. Instead, they packed up the weapons that Matsuhira Nobuzuo abandoned outside Nagasaki Castle and food. After Li Shanhai led more than 26,000 Li Chao troops and followed the support to Noden.

These days, the trench has been dug to three meters wide and more than two meters deep. The low walls made of cement gravel behind it have also become two meters high and more than two meters wide. Although these have not reached their peak, they have the capital to fight. They have retreated the legion back to the back of the stone wall again. Mao Jue began to look forward to the arrival of Maeda, Maeda, Kaga.

However, 25, 26, 27, until the end of February and early March, after occupying the eighteen days of Naoden, Mao Jue still did not see any soldiers from the Maeda family, and even the Kaga country, which was close to the border of Naoden, and the retainers retreated back.

Standing on the stone wall and looking south, Mao Jue was looking far away and could not see anyone coming to hit him, which made him knock on the newly solidified cement and shouted in great tragic manner.
