Chapter 1012 The Tiger Army officially landed in Japan! (2)

(1012)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

"Where are the people in Heian Kyo?"

After watching the surrounding terrain for a while, Zhang Zhun suddenly asked.

The target he asked was not a staff officer around him, but a mysterious organization leader. He was the intelligence leaders of the Hu Ben Army, all of whom were versatile and had a lot of affairs. When Ma Yi was busy with domestic intelligence, the Japanese intelligence could only be handed over to Xia Fei to deal with.

"I haven't contacted it yet. However, it shouldn't be more than two days. The old guys from the Japanese royal family looked very anxious. I guess they were indeed scared by the shogunate in Edo. Even selling a purple dress would be banned."

Shafes' meaningful answer.

“Contact as soon as possible.”

Zhang Zhun said cautiously.

"clear!"

Shafes agreed to go.

The people from Heian Kyo were from the Japanese royal family. Shafes was right, they were indeed bullied too much by the shogunate. Because the royal family had no money, they had to sell some rare purple robes to monks in the temple in exchange for some wealth. As a result, this matter was also strongly intervened by the shogunate. In a rage, the emperor simply resigned and quit.

If it weren't for the suppression of the shogunate, it would be too powerful. It was beyond the scope of normal people's patience, and the Japanese royal family would not have had such close contact with the Hu Ben Army. After all, this is selling off the interests of the country, right? Such a high-level leader party was probably not found in the history of China, except Shi Jingtang.

It is estimated that the Tokugawa shogunate may have regretted it a little. If they had known that the Japanese royal family would have recruited the Hu Ben Army at all costs, they would have been open to the royal family and everyone would be at peace. Now it is not human inside and outside, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is indeed uncomfortable enough.

In the political situation of Japan at that time, the Emperor was in Heian Kyo, that is, Kyoto, today, in the central part of Japan. However, the Tokugawa Shogunate was in the Jianghu, that is, today, Tokyo, in the eastern part of Japan. The distance between Heian Kyo and Edo was about 370 kilometers, which is about 740 miles. Obviously, this was a considerable distance.

As long as the Tiger Ben Army attacks Heian Kyo before the shogunate army counterattacks in large numbers, it can control the Japanese royal family, and then the Japanese royal family comes forward to force the Tokugawa shogunate to disband, or hand over all the power and army. As long as the shogunate is disbanded and the royal power returns, various agreements can be signed with the Tiger Ben Army. This is the fastest way to solve the political situation in Japan.

Of course, it is a bit difficult to do this. The shogunate is very close to the Japanese royal family. Once they find something wrong, they will definitely forcefully take away all the backbone of the royal family. If they cannot take it away, the possibility of being removed on the spot is not ruled out. In other words, even if the Tiger Army enters Heian Kyo, they may not be able to find anyone from the Japanese royal family.

However, regardless of whether the royal family is present or not, the leading party must be established. The Japanese royal family has nothing else, just a group of daimyos who have lost their power and hated the shogunate. These people have a very deep hatred between them and the Tokugawa shogunate. It can be said that these people are also senior Japanese leading party. With their guidance, the Tiger Ben Army will soon be familiar with everything in Japan. It will be a matter of time before sea and land advance together and attack Edo.

Seeing more and more people appearing on land, more and more supplies are being unloaded, Zhang Zhun's inner tension slowly faded. The most tense twenty-four hours of landing are slowly passing. Judging from the reaction of the shogunate army, they had no reaction at all. It is estimated that the main force of the Japanese army will appear at least five days later.

In five days, all the troops and supplies of the Hu Ben Army can be landed. As long as the Hu Ben Army is in Japan, with more than 10,000 combat troops and enough ammunition and food, it can last for a considerable period of time. If the number of troops is a little larger, it can even launch a long-distance raid.

In fact, in Zhang Zhun's heart, he was already sure to win this landing. The Japanese army had lost the best counterattack time. What awaited them would be the attacks launched by the Hu Ben Army and the brave attacks again and again. Such an attack and such an assault will continue until the shogunate surrender completely.

...

"Bang!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu smashed the cup to pieces.

It was already three days later that the news of the landing of the Hu Ben Army was about to happen. The distance from Nagato to Edo was indeed a bit far. At the beginning, the Japanese spies had not yet realized exactly what had happened. When they understood, the large army of the Hu Ben Army had completely controlled half of the Nagato Country.

In the exquisite conference hall, Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little disobedient, and his chest kept undulating. He rarely matched the dagger to his waist. This was a very sharp dagger, with the scabbard of the dagger, carved with three exquisite sunflowers-like patterns. This is the family emblem of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The shogun paired the dagger with this dagger means that he had entered a state of war.

Next to him, more than a dozen old men, Ruonian, Damufu, etc., did not dare to say anything. The sudden landing of the Hu Ben Army also caused a great blow to them. In Japan's history, it seems that there are no foreign established troops and have set foot on the Japanese mainland! Every time, the Japanese landed in other countries. This time, they actually turned upside down.

The old man Maeda Ryota was already undermined because of the unfavorable war on Sado Island, and he did not inform him of the news of the landing of the Tiger Army. Therefore, in his position, it was empty. Tokugawa Iegu usually likes to direct the command to the level of the Hashimoto, so that some old Zhong and Ruonian Shi felt that they were undermined. This was no exception.

"Order Sato Ryota!"

"Thank your army back to China immediately!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly stopped and shouted in anger.

"Hayi!"

Immediately someone agreed to leave.

【Author’s note: The “China” mentioned here by Tokugawa Ieki refers to the western central and western regions of Japan, not my country.】

"Where is the Dutch fleet?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu asked again.

“It’s still in Hiroshima.”

An old man answered cautiously.

"When will their main fleet arrive?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's chest was undulating and his tone was a little anxious.

"Dutch Brandts said, it's almost done."

The old Chinese mechanical answer.

"It's soon, it's soon, when?"

"I don't want such a vague answer."

Tokugawa Iemitsu said angrily.

"this……"

The old man felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

The Dutch fleet that visited Japan was not very powerful, with only a small number of large warships. They arrived mainly to contact the shogunate, inform the Dutch of the decisions, inform the senior executives of the Dutch East India Company, and the Samoan Governor Putman. In other words, they were not here to fight.

At that time, the Dutchman patted his chest and said that the main fleet of the Dutch Navy would arrive soon. The person who led the visiting fleet was a Dutch Navy lieutenant colonel named Brandt. This man was very eloquent. The shogunate believed that the main fleet of the Dutch would arrive soon. As long as the main fleet of the Dutch came, the landing operation of the Hu Ben Army would be impossible to succeed. If the crossing of the sea was not successful, how could he land?

In fact, Blanz was indeed right. The Dutch Navy fleet led by Bluffhead did go north soon. However, on the coast of Fujian, he fought with the Hu Ben Navy and eventually had to retreat temporarily. This retreat led to the Dutch fleet coming again.

Of course, Blanz would not tell Tokugawa Iehiro about such a thing. This defeat was a scandal within the Dutch. The governor of Samoa and the senior executives of the East India Company asked for news as soon as possible. The unlucky Bluffhead was also quickly sent back to the Netherlands. The fleet commander who was expected to become the youngest lieutenant general in the Netherlands, his bright future was ruined like this.

Whenever the shogunate asked, Brandt would explain with a smile that the Dutch naval fleet was on the road and could arrive in Japan in just a few days. As for him, he was quietly prepared to escape. Once the Dutch main fleet decided not to come, he had to run away immediately. Otherwise, he would be stabbed.

"Keizaki, please give me!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu came to a family general and bowed and said.

"Please rest assured, General."

The general of the family bowed and returned the gift.

This family general, named Masato Hiezaki, was one of the "Ruonian Shi" of the Shogunate. His subordinates had thirteen flags and a total force of about 40,000. This was one of the most elite forces in the shogunate army, and was highly expected by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

[Author’s note: Ruo Nian Shi is a special position among the shogunate generals, equivalent to the governor of the Governor’s office, and is specifically responsible for managing the army. The flag book and the Imperial family (i.e., retainers) are both under the jurisdiction of Ruo Nian Shi. Please use the specific content on Baidu.]

"Keizaki, I hope you will immediately go to fight Ishimiko and join Abe Jun to block the way the Hu Ben Army march towards Heianjing. In any case, you cannot allow the Hu Ben Army to arrive at Heianjing smoothly and contact those old antiques. If you don't want it, you can kill them all."

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked solemn and said decisively.

After saying that, he bowed deeply again.

Similarly, Masato Kaichi also bowed deeply to respond.

The so-called Abe Jun is Abe Yuki, another one of the shogunshangs, who is under the shogun. There are also ten flag books under his banner. He has led his army to the west of Heian Kyo for many years. The purpose is to specifically shock Heian Kyo's royal family members. His army is also the elite of the shogunshang army.

Masato Kaichi and Yuki Abe are both the most capable people under Tokugawa Iemitsu. The army they commanded is the most well-equipped, the strictest training, and the largest number. Whether they can block the attack of the Hu Ben Army depends on them.
