Chapter 821 The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier: Ryukyu
Fuso.
Edo Castle. The newly built Edo Castle is full of vitality. The city is bustling, prosperous and orderly.
It demonstrates the strength and power of the new regime.
Since the rise of warriors, Fuso has entered the era of warrior rule. Just like in the Chu Kingdom, the general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and unite for a long time.
The powerful samurai calmed down the troubled times, founded the shogunate, and became the shogun. Until the end of the shogunate, his dominance fell apart and was replaced by newly rising samurai.
The current pillar of the Fuso Samurai, General Toyotomi, commanded Fuso from Edo Castle in the Fuso Kanto. There were three hundred daimyo, large and small, that is, three hundred feudal states.
These vassal daimyo were divided into three types based on the degree of trust they received: pro-vassal daimyo, genealogical daimyo, and external daimyo.
Shin-han is the name of the Toyotomi family.
A genedai daimyo is a daimyo promoted by retainers who have followed the Toyotomi family to conquer the world for generations.
The external daimyo are the allies of the Toyotomi family in the process of pacifying the world, or the enemy daimyo who surrendered.
These vassal states were divided into different sizes based on the food that their territories could produce.
That is Shi Gao.
A person who can be called a daimyo has at least ten thousand koku of territory.
After the inspection of the whole Fuso area, the total stone height reached 32.27 million stone. Among them, General Toyotomi's direct jurisdiction had 4.5 million stone, which was known as the heavenly territory.
The Kanto Plain where Edo Castle is located is the most fertile plain in Fuso.
General Toyotomi has absolute strength.
General's Castle, in a room in Zhongao.
Toyotomi's first shogun, Toyotomi Daikichi, was sitting on his knees on the main seat, resting his left hand on the table in a very relaxed posture.
Toyotomi Daiyoshi is fifty-six years old this year. He has white hair shaved into a Tsukiyo head. He has an extraordinary appearance, a goat beard, and bright eyes, giving him a shrewd and capable look.
But his short stature was inconsistent with his status as a pillar of the warriors.
After a while, a samurai who was about the same age as Toyotomi Daikichi and exuded a capable aura walked in. He was Kurakageju, an important minister of the shogunate who also owned a territory of 100,000 koku.
"Kageju. What's the matter in such a hurry?" Toyotomi Daikichi straightened his posture and asked in a deep voice.
He was called back urgently. He was visiting a temple outside the city and drinking tea with distinguished guests.
"Reporting to the General's Palace. There are two things."
"The first thing is that the Emperor of Chu State conferred the title of King Fuso on the general palace and gave the prince a royal robe. The envoy is currently on his way to Edo."
Katakura Kageju first sat cross-legged in front of Toyotomi Daikichi, then put his hands on the tatami, bowed and then said in a deep voice.
"King Fuso." Toyotomi Daikichi's face showed a look of amusement.
He is known as the King of Fuso and General Toyotomi in the country. However, in the credential of Korea and Chu, he is called "King Fuso".
He has no reverence for the Celestial Kingdom. Whether he accepts this canonization depends on whether he needs it or not.
"Kageju. Do you think I should accept it?" Toyotomi Daikichi asked.
"Report to the General Palace. If there is no Wu Nian, we don't have to accept it. But with Wu Nian, it will be different. We have a common enemy. If we accept the canonization of [King Fusang], then we will be a vassal state of Chu State."
"Although it has an unpleasant name, it will be much easier to contact Chu State."
Katakura Keju bent down and said.
"I don't care about the reputation, I just want benefits. If that's the case, then accept it." Toyotomi Daikichi said without any hesitation, and then his eyes flashed, "You mentioned Wu Nian, is the second thing related to him?
"
"yes."
Katakura Kageju raised his head and said: "Goguryeo urgently sent people to deliver the credentials. In the year of Wu, they sent troops to Goguryeo. They asked the general to send troops to attack Guangchuan Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture in Liaodong. They sent troops to support Goguryeo's defense. The envoy is still on the way.
."
Toyotomi Daikichi was shocked, stood up, and fixed his eyes on Katakura Kageju. After a while, he said: "I told Wu Nian with practical actions that Goguryeo is under my protection. Wu Nian actually still
Dare to attack Goguryeo?"
Katakura Keju felt the anger of Toyotomi Daikichi.
This is a matter of course.
The Kyogoku family originally had a good relationship with the Toyotomi family. The Kyogoku family was rich and maintained a large group of retainers.
Due to the relationship between the two families, Toyotomi Daikichi originally planned to grant the Kyogoku family territory so that the Kyogoku family could return to the rank of daimyo.
However, the Kyogoku family had an unclear relationship with the Ryukyu Kingdom, and even supported the Ryukyus in establishing a navy in Liaodong.
This is something Toyotomi Daikichi cannot tolerate.
The entire territory of Ryukyu is as much as hundreds of thousands of stones. The territory is second, the geographical location of Ryukyu is very important, it is very close to the southeast coast of Chu State.
At present, Toyotomi Daikichi has just pacified the country and has no ambition to annex Chu State.
The size of Chu State is too large and cannot be eaten at one time.
But it doesn't exist now, which doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. When he consolidates the domestic strength, or his descendants, second generation generals, and third generation generals will have strength.
You can use Ryukyu as a springboard to attack Chu.
If possible, Toyotomi Daikichi hoped to go to Chang'an and Luoyang of Chu State to become an emperor.
Fusang history books, celebrity notes and other records about the prosperity of Chang'an and Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty are really tempting.
All in all, Ryukyu is a piece of fat meat, and it is absolutely impossible to spit it out after eating it.
The Kyogoku family who supports Ryukyu and Wu Nian who supports the Kyogoku family must be eliminated.
"Notify all the daimyo immediately and jointly send troops according to the size of the territory."
"Tentatively, the navy is 40,000 and the infantry is 20,000."
"Jing Shi. You will serve as the general and command the navy and infantry to raid Liaodong and support Goguryeo. In addition, you will liaise with Chu and cooperate with Xiong Wuwo in the battle."
"Let's destroy Liaodong together and drive out Wu Nian and the Jingji family."
"Of course. We can't work in vain. We have to let the Goguryeo people pay for food, grass, and wages."
Toyotomi Daikichi pulled out the folding fan from his waist, but did not open it. He just held it in his hand and walked back and forth three times before making a decision. He sat down cross-legged and leaned on the table and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Katakura Kageju bowed down and responded loudly. Then he stood up, bowed, turned and left.
"Ryukyu is mine. It belongs to me, General Toyotomi and Lord Fuso. It is not wise to go against me. Wu Nian. I will let you perish. Go to hell and regret it."
Toyotomi Daikichi's eyes were very ferocious, like a jackal.
With the Toyotomi family joining the war.
Chu, Meng Yuan, Fusang, Goguryeo. Wu Nian officially turned against all their neighbors and went to war with them.
Even though Goguryeo's army was crippled, it was still a powerful country in the region. Moreover, the Queen Mother was quite wise and had many loyal ministers and good generals.
Needless to say, Meng Yuan.
Although the state of Chu is decayed, Xiong Wuwo is the pillar of the sky, with 80,000 elite horse and infantry troops in his hands.
Fuso's navy is powerful, and General Toyotomi has just put an end to the troubled times. The entire Fuso society has a large number of samurai and ronin with rich combat experience.
They are all powerful enemies.
This was Wu Nian's own choice.
This is also what Chun Yuan thinks is an opportunity.
Win. Wu Nian annihilated Goguryeo and eliminated a powerful enemy. No matter how he regained the territory that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had laid down thousands of years ago, he did not care whether the rule of Goguryeo went smoothly or not.
At least he didn't have to worry about Goguryeo's sudden attack and broke the joint blockade of Goguryeo and Fuso at sea.
At the very least, Wu Nian will not suffer.
lose.
Of course, there is nothing more to say.
