391 In one fell swoop, Kanto
As the heat passes, the will of heaven is getting colder.
Autumn is here, and it is a good time to harvest.
In the commander's tent, a group of generals were discussing excitedly how to carry out the final harvest.
There are more than twenty vassal states left in Japan at this moment, and these vassal states seem to be quite famous.
To the south of Yamato Kingdom is Kii Kingdom. During the Warring States Period of the Ultimate Warring States Period, Kii Kingdom was full of powerful and powerful people. The Jaga Party, Nerai, Kumano Navy and others were all powerful mercenaries. Oda Nobunaga started his business with these mercenaries.
At this moment, Kii-ku is the fief of Tokugawa Rai-kun, which is the location of the Kishu vassal, one of the three Tokugawa families.
To the east of Yamato are Iga and Ise. Both places are strong people. When Japan made trouble for Yixian Ikki, these two places were the most violent. Oda Nobunaga organized a large army to conquer many times but failed to take it down.
To the north of Ise country is the famous Omi country, which is also full of powerful people, such as the Kyoko family, Asai family, and Kogaru Ninja all come from here.
There is also a Shima Kingdom under Ise Country. Although Shima Kingdom is small, it is a famous place for pirates to gather. The naval general Kyuki Katsutsuga, under Toyota Hideyoshi, was born in Shima Kingdom.
To the east of Oe Country is Mino Country, which is the main road connecting the east and west sides of Kyushu Island. The Fubu County of Mino Country is the place where the Battle of Sekihara broke out, and the famous Saito Family in Japan is here.
To the north of Mino is Echizen, Kaga, Kaga, and the Kaga family, which is second only to the Tokugawa clan in Japan, is here.
To the south of Mino is Ohashi, Oda Nobunaga, one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period in the United States, comes from here.
To the south of Ohachi Kingdom is the Sankawa Kingdom. The famous Sankawa samurai in Japan comes from here, and the Matsuhira clan, Kirara clan, Honta clan and others also come from here.
To the south of Mikawa Kingdom is Toei Kingdom, which is the hometown of Horio Yoshiharu and was once the fief of Yamauchi Ichitoki, the general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The reputation of these vassal states is really scary. If you only look at the war history related to Japan, every vassal state seems to be extremely powerful.
In fact, these vassal states are nothing now!
Because the Tokugawa shogunate had almost transferred the troops of these vassal states, it would be good if each vassal state could barely gather thousands of people to resist a little.
Taichang listened to the generals discussing rumors about these vassal states, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, what you said is the past. Now they have no troops and cannot jump around. We can just march directly. We will work harder and strive to capture Edo Castle and occupy the entire Japan before the cold winter comes."
ah?
It’s already autumn now, and it’s winter in three months.
In other words, they will take over the remaining twenty-seven or eight vassal states in Japan in about three months!
Is it possible?
nothing is impossible!
Taichang then pointed to the map and said domineeringly: "Let's do it, let's be more secure, divide the troops into ten routes, and capture ten vassal states in one wave. In this way, less than thirty vassal states will be taken down in three waves."
Is it a safer way to play in a ten-way way?
Well, it is safe to divide the troops into ten directions.
Because at this moment, Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp have an army of 800,000. Even if they are divided into ten routes, there are 80,000 troops in each route.
Now that the entire Japan can only get a hundred thousand people to die, 80,000 to 100,000. With their equipment, they can win!
In other words, even if the Tokugawa shogunate gathers all the remaining troops, they can't beat them all the way!
Isn't this safe?
When the generals heard this, they nodded thoughtfully.
Next, Taichang began to assign tasks.
Ji Yiguo is the most powerful force near this Yamato Kingdom. Qi Jin just caught Qin Yiming and led 80,000 Shenji Camp infantrymen over.
The Mino country is the farthest vassal state in this wave of attacks, and its area is relatively large. Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dale led 50,000 Iron Cavalry of the Shenwu Camp and 30,000 infantrymen of the Shenwu Camp to rush over faster.
What are the remaining Iga countries, Ise countries, Shima countries, Oei countries, Ohashi countries, Mikawa countries, Echizen countries, Kaga countries, etc., and they can be taken down no matter how hard they fight.
Taichang gave a series of guidance to the map, and soon, the ten people were allocated.
Well, everyone has been sent out, who will protect you, the emperor?
Minister of War Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask: "Emperor, why don't you leave all the people to protect you? After all, the Tokugawa shogunate has not yet been wiped out, so this place is still a little dangerous."
He doesn't have to be afraid, because he is also a fierce man who comes and goes freely among the troops.
Problem, the emperor cannot be without protection!
When Taichang heard this, he smiled and said, "No need, just attack ten people. I will rush to the port later, board the ASCHE, and directly lead the Dongyang Navy to the bay near Wei Zhangguo waiting for you to come. Then we will go to Minong to join us and prepare for the next round of offensive."
Well, it's really safe to get on the ASCH ship, and with the protection of the Oriental Navy.
Because Japan has no warships at all now.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he bowed and said, "I understand, the emperor, please wait on the navy's flagship first. I will follow General Cao's army to the country of Mino first to wait for your great journey."
Taichang nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone will go back and prepare. We will send troops early tomorrow morning to strive to capture these ten countries within one month."
All the generals couldn't help but responded.
Next, the army of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp divided into ten directions and headed straight to Kii, Mino, Ohashi and other places.
These ten vassal states had no military strength, and they were too far from Edo Castle, so the Tokugawa shogunate could only stare at him.
As a result, in less than a month, these ten countries were taken down!
In the eastern part of Mino Country, the army of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp gathered again.
At this moment, all the generals and schools were extremely excited and extremely excited.
Because the ten countries fought too easily and there was no effort to deal with them.
This proves that the Tokugawa shogunate is really not good, and they are really likely to take over the entire Japan before the cold winter comes!
Next is the second wave of offensive.
In this wave, Taichang was preparing to take down other Japanese vassal states first, encircle the eight Kanto countries where the Tokugawa clan is located, and then take them down in one fell swoop, so as to prevent the Tokugawa clan from running around.
In addition to the eight Kanto countries in Japan, there are only ten large and small vassal states, including Shinno, Kafai, Nakamo, Tori, and Suruga.
Among them, the country of Yu and Mu Ao were relatively far away. If the infantry traveled through mountains and rivers, they would probably have to go for a month. Taichang simply ordered the Oriental Navy and the Beiyang Navy fleet to send 80,000 infantrymen to the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp from the waterway respectively.
As for other vassal states, it was farther away from the Later states. It would take not much time for Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dale to lead 50,000 Shenwu Camp Iron Cavalry and 30,000 Shenwu Camp infantry to rush over.
The second wave of offensives, Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, were already unstoppable and advanced rapidly. In less than a month, all the other ten countries except the eight Kanto countries were successfully captured.
The Tokugawa shogunate seemed to have given up resisting, and they didn't care about these vassal states!
Or maybe they were preparing to gather all the remaining troops and struggle in the eight Kanto countries for the last time.
Who knows?
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has formed a crushing momentum at this moment, and it is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate to turn the tables.
Soon, the 800,000 troops of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp surrounded the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto.
Chapter completed!
