According to Meinong's information, the forwards of the Ming army had 5 troops. They were lightly armed and did not have cannons. If so, only [-] people should be able to stop them.

However, Kai has [-], where can I find the other [-]?

Tokugawa Iemitsu stared at these people with stern eyes.These are the retainers of the Tokugawa family, the most trusted people. As for Shigemasa Itakura, Nobutsuna Matsudaira, and Tadatoshi Aoyama, they have all died in battle in his heart.If these people can't think of a way, he will kill them directly!

Suddenly, Fujita shouted loudly: "Gongfang, there are still [-] in Edo!"

Everyone was startled, where did the 2 people come from in Edo?Except for the three thousand soldiers of the shogunate in Edo, all others were transferred away by Aoyama Tadatoshi and Matsudaira Nobuzuna.

But soon, everyone realized that there was indeed one!

The [-] troops were still vassals of the shogunate, and they were stationed in Edo Neihu. It was originally to prevent the Ming Dynasty navy from landing here, and it did scare off the Ming Dynasty navy!

If Fujita hadn't thought of it, everyone seemed to have forgotten the elites of the two nights.

But immediately everyone frowned and their faces sank like water.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty has always been a sharp sword hanging over their heads. If these 2 people are transferred away now, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty returns, how can we prevent them from going ashore?

Naito Masakatsu looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu with a serious face, and said: "Gongfang, the Ming army broke through the closed fortress too suddenly. Their navy could not reach the vicinity of Edo in ten and a half months, and 2 people can be called."

He was very nervous when he said this. Transferring these 2 people would be equivalent to disarming Edo completely. Not to mention the North Korean navy, if some big vassals participated in the downfall, they might break through Edo and wipe out the Tokugawa family!

Chapter 1393 Wa country is really going to perish

Masakatsu Naito's voice fell, and a group of people looked at Iemitsu Tokugawa.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was indifferent, his eyes were bright and dark, and he stared at Masakatsu Naito.

Naito Masakatsu frowned, and continued: "Neifu, we can't afford to hesitate now. The Ming army is obviously rushing to the capital. If they don't gather, there may be no time."

The others didn't speak any more, just bowed their heads silently.

The disadvantage of the Wa Kingdom is that it is not a unified country, there is no regular army, and every move needs to rely on the prestige of the shogunate to recruit troops from various vassal states to join.

Tokugawa Iemitsu glanced at several people, his expression indifferent for a long time, and said, "Okay, how do you arrange it?"

Fujita looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu at this time, and said: "Meinong Fan can no longer defend, we plan to deploy [-] and [-] troops in Xinnong and Kai, each serving as horns to block the Ming army's offensive. Buy time for the shogunate."

The hinterland of the Wa country is still there. According to the potential of the Wa country, it is possible to gather another 10 people to fight the Ming army—just enough time is needed.

Naito Masakatsu further explained, saying: "The Ming army only has 5 people, and they are easy to follow. The dry food they brought must not be much. As long as they persist for three days, the Ming army will have to retreat to Tamba Fan. In this way, we will have enough food." Time to prepare the army and deploy a new line of defense. The battle line of the Ming army is too long, and there is no time to digest it. As long as we hold it, we can gradually counterattack and regain our own island..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu was quite satisfied with this explanation, and said: "Okay, this matter must be done well, and we must not fail again!"

"Hayi!" A group of people responded in unison, each with a dignified expression, which was unusual.

The Ming army had already reached the door of the house, and the shogunate fell in an instant.

As soon as the group finished speaking, a samurai rushed in and said anxiously: "Gongfang, another ten daimyos have declared their fall. They have gathered from the north, with an army of [-], and they are approaching the capital!"

I don’t know how many there are. What Japan lacks most is the so-called daimyo, large and small. Normally, Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn’t care at all, even at this time, he doesn’t care, and said: “Got it.”

Masakatsu Naito didn't care either. Three to 5000 people couldn't kill Edo at all, and most of them supported the shogunate. These people couldn't get through at all.

As soon as Tokugawa Iemitsu's decision came out, the 3 troops in Neihu quickly went northward, entered the Xinnong Fan, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the [-] Kai Fan, ready to resist Dorgon who rushed quickly.

At this moment, Dorgon's soldiers were approaching the Meinong Fan, but they did not launch an attack immediately.

Dorgon, Daishan, Duoduo and others rode tall horses, their eyes were like lightning, and their eyes were shining.

Duoduo said: "Brother, take down the Meinong clan. In front of it is the Xinnong clan, and then there is Edo. Let's rush in and kill Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the Japanese kingdom will be destroyed!"

On behalf of Shan, Man Dahai did not speak, although his demeanor was still calm.

Dorgon glanced at the two of them and said, "What do you think?"

Dai Shan then turned his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Meinong Fan is the richest and most populous place in the hinterland of the Wa Kingdom. Even if we can defeat it, it will be difficult for Zuo Liangyu and others to gain a firm foothold if they don't follow up. Pull it too far, and we may be caught in it, besieged, and unable to get out.”

When they reached the hinterland of the Japanese kingdom, they didn't have enough troops to stop them or assist them. The shogunate's Qin Wang soldiers came continuously, and they didn't have much dry food. If there was less delay, they might be surrounded and unable to break free, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

When these words fell, even the murderous Duduo was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Brother, Meinong Fan must be taken down, but Xinnong Fan cannot go."

Once you go, you will really fall into the vast ocean of the Japanese shogunate.

Dorgon looked in the direction of Meinong Fan, and said to Man Dahai, "What's the news from the Military Intelligence Department?"

Man Dakai said: "A lot of information has been collected over there. It is said that the Kai domain has an army of [-]. I don't know the others. In addition, soldiers and horses from other places are rapidly gathering towards Edo. The number is unknown."

The whip in Dorgon's hand flicked, glanced at several people, and said decisively: "We won't go to Edo after defeating Meinong Fan. Let's add that we will go north and detour to Yuhou Fan and Yuqian Fan!"

Yuhou Fan and Yuqian Fan are located in the north of Wa Kingdom, bordered by Mutsu Fan, Lu Zhong Fan, Lu Qian Fan and so on.

In other words, Dorgon intends to bypass the area of ​​Kyoto, Japan, and continue to go north, in an attempt to flank the [-] troops deployed by the shogunate in Mutsu and other places with Badari!

Daishan, Man Dahai and the others were all leaders of the army for many years, they couldn't hear Dorgon's surprise, and their expressions immediately brightened.

If the 15 troops can be eliminated, the [-] Mongol troops of Badalley will be able to join them and go south. During this period of time, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo will almost digest the land they occupied and enter the hinterland of the Wa Kingdom. , They are nearly [-] troops converging in Kyoto, besieging Musashi country!

Perhaps, the navy will also be able to arrive at that time, blocking the last way of Wa Kingdom from the sea, that is nearly 20 troops!

Thinking of this picture, everyone couldn't help being excited.

"Okay, let's attack." Dodo said, raising the whip in his hand.

The Meinong Fan on the opposite side only had a maximum of 4000 people, and they were gathered in a hurry, and they couldn't resist their attack at all.

This is also because the shogunate was too ruthless before, and almost emptied the troops of the major names.

Dorgon said: "Brother, Man Dahai, Duoduo, each of you will bring 1 people to plunder Meinong Fan, and then join me on your back. We will go northward quickly without stopping day and night! Man Dahai , notify the Military Intelligence Department, let them contact Badalley, and prepare to pinch the [-] troops in the north of the Wa country!"

"Yes!" A group of people responded in unison.

Immediately, Dorgon's [-] cavalry divided into four groups, swept out, and quickly rushed into Meinong Fan.

The Meinong clan really has nothing to resist. Almost all the big names and the city lords are huddled in the big city.

Dorgon's cavalry pursued speed, and if they could break through, they would break through quickly.

In less than a few hours, Dorgon's army quickly moved northward, bypassing the Xinnong Fan and entering the Echigo Fan.

The Echigo Domain is a large feudal state close to the Sea of ​​Japan, with a large area and a small population. It was never expected that the Ming army would suddenly go north, and they were caught off guard by breaking through several cities such as Takada, Zhigu, and Changguan. Yanzhou County, which borders the Houfan!

This move shocked the Japanese kingdom unimaginably. The [-] troops deployed in Mutsu and Lu Zhongfan were soon exposed to the Ming army!

This [-] army can be said to be the last family property of the shogunate. If it is wiped out by the Ming army, then the Wa country will really perish.
