Edo Castle, Makubashi Ichi and the Minister of the Cabinet of the Cabinet entered the Honmaru Tensou Pavilion. They came from various local vassals in the East, and there were also the Tokugawa family elders near Edo. The Satsuma vassal representative lord here is Okubo Rito, a retainer who was nearly thirty years old.

His eyes were stuck on the two officials sent to the head of the Ming Dynasty, trying to see the thoughts of the sect leader.

"The English have sent people to intervene in the war that they proudly accused of. The United States of America is our loyal ally, and our Ming Dynasty intends to provide assistance to the people of the dire Union nations to gain freedom from the United States. According to the secret Edo Agreement, the Ming Dynasty, the Shogunate, and the Union nations are firm military alliances, so we need to give more assistance to the Union nations." Two ministers of the permanent cabinet of the Ming Empire proposed a plan to aid the Union nations.

Okupo Rita thought to himself that the Alliance had only been dealing with them for a few years, so why had they become loyal ally...

"Zhou Haisheng, you are following it as the army. You lead the shogunate samurai as the first reinforcements to San Francisco, waiting for orders."

"Takeyo Komoto, the shogunate navy has merged with the various vassal navy. You need to safely deliver the legion led by Shokuhae-sei to San Francisco."

The two ministers from the Ming Dynasty announced the dispatch of the Oriental Shogunate's legion almost in an orderly manner. As the army and the navy, Zhou Haisheng was pursued by the navy, and Takeo Komoto looked at each other and agreed.

The Toyo Shogunate planned to build 240,000 new troops, which was originally intended to prepare for this day, but no one expected that this day would arrive so quickly.

Okupo Rito, representing the interests of the Satsuma clan, raised his hand and said, "The Satsuma Army has only been training for a year and hastily gone to aid the Union countries. I am afraid there will be heavy casualties."

The representative of the Ming Dynasty said: "The Chief of the Saint-Chief's Army once followed our Ming army to fight hard with the English in Southeast Asia and had many veterans. We will only reuse you in this Civil War. There are many militias in the Americans, but they are still far from the Chief of the Saint-Chief's Army."

Okupo Rik knew that the Ming army would use the Satsuma Army as a vanguard to consume Lincoln's troops. But this was the tragic thing about the vassal state. In order to obtain the protection of the sect leader, technology and alliance relations, the Satsuma clan, the Choshu clan and other vassal states could only provide manpower. The samurai they were proud of were insignificant like cannon fodder.

"The other feudals should prepare food, bedding and other supplies, and gather materials with Yokohama Port as the center, with the goal of San Francisco and then Richmond."

"We obey our order."

The vassal lords of various vassals responded one after another, and the finances in their vassals were in the hands of the Ming merchants, so they had to follow.

In Kagoshima, a large number of Sammo's samurai warriors gathered on the beach, and many of them were still equipped with samurai swords that symbolize the identity of a samurai army. These samurai soldiers were the officers of the Sacho Legion, and the lowest-level soldiers were trained by civilians from Kagoshima, and their identities were low.

The Satsuma tribe led the Satsuma tribe was Takamori Saigo, the Satsuma samurai.

The head of the Satsuma family, Shimazu Kuramitsu, came out to see off for Satsuma Takamori: "The lives of the five thousand soldiers of the Satsuma family have been entrusted to you, so try to bring them back as much as possible. The Satsuma family does not have a large population."

Takamori Saigo leaned on a samurai sword and looked at the other side of the sea: "The Ming Empire is going to compete with the barbarian powers for hegemony again. It would be good if half of these 5,000 people survived."

Shimazu Kuraku said: "The Ming Dynasty allowed our Satsuma family to have a place in the shogunate cabinet and had already made concessions. Kagoshima is so close to Liaodong and Ryukyu that we can never escape the control of the Ming Empire. The Ming Dynasty is willing to use our samurai as a pioneer, which shows that we still have value in use. When the Ming Dynasty dogs are always ten times better than India and North Africa as barbarian dogs. Their civilians can't even afford to eat, and the nobles are also deprived of them at will. At least the Ming Dynasty retained some of our samurai privileges."

Takamoto Saigo was silent for a while: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The Ming Dynasty defeated the shogunate for only thirty or forty years, and there are other places in Kagoshima to set up private schools and newspapers. I am afraid that in another twenty or thirty years, we will be assimilated into people from the Central Plains..."

Shimazu Kukami was so scared that his face turned pale when he heard what Saigo Takamoto said. He looked at his left and right with caution: "Be careful that the Jinyiwei heard you say this, which will bring countless troubles to our Satsuma vassal. There are only a few hundred thousand people in our Satsuma vassal, how can we fight against Yangyang Shangguo?"

Takaho Saigo no longer said anything, but hung the samurai sword around his waist: "Head of the family, this time I went to North America to attack the barbarians in the West, Takaho Saigo will definitely return in triumphant!"

Shimazu Kurakuno then felt at ease: "We are the vanguard, and the Ming army will definitely respond. If we make more military achievements in front of the Ming army, our Satsuma vassal status will also be higher."

Takamori Saigo bowed, and he led more than a dozen generals of the Satsuma clan boarded the "Kagososhima" steamship built by the Ming Empire. The Satsuma clan had 5,000 soldiers in the Satsuma clan. They were going to Osaka to gather, and then to Yokohama, crossing the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco.

The Sasaka Army was a powerful vassal in the southwest, a powerful vassal in Satsuma, a vassal in the Satsuma, a vassal in the Hiromae and other nearby vassals. It formed the army system of the Oriental Shogunate with the Osaka Army, the Edo Army, and the Osamu Army, and worked hard for the Ming Empire.

Takamori Saigo stood on the deck of the Kagoshima. This was not the first time he participated in the war between the Ming Empire and the Western barbarians in his eyes as a servant of the Ming army.

The Ming Dynasty regarded other countries as barbarians, and the East regarded other countries except the Ming Dynasty as barbarians.

In the battle with the "barbarians", he almost lost his life.

As a warrior, he thought it was an honor to be able to fight with the Ming army, but as he gradually climbed to a high position, he had some mentality changes in his mindset to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Takamoto Saigo said to himself: "I don't know who will send to command the war in North America this time..."

The Liaodong Chengxuan General Secretary of the Ming Empire, Li Rushan, the Liaodong general who had met with Chu Qi, received an order from the imperial city. The Liaodong army under his command gathered outside the Liaodong city and arrived at Lushunwei along the Liaodong Railway.

There are many troop transport ships parked in Lushun Wei.

Li Rushan was about to set off when he received an order to rest in Lushun Wei for the time being.

The generals of the Liaodong Legion were puzzled by this order, but Li Rushan climbed from the lower-level officer to the position of the Liaodong general, knew the intention of the cabinet, and said to a few confidants: "This is to let the Eastern samurai go to test the attitude of the Western powers. The English sent the Royal Navy to help Lincoln, and we must respond. The empires are still testing each other's bottom line and playing in a dangerous balance."
