Beiyang new warlord

"General, he said he was Yang Shiro, the guardian dog of the Kashima family from the day before yesterday. He asked again, why did the warriors of your Maori family come to the territory of my family from the day before yesterday?"

The world has only been peaceful for more than 20 years, and these guys have become so lazy. Mao Jue is really helpless. If it is in Dongjiang, even if a sampan does set foot on the coast outside the regulations, there will be nearby guards camping immediately Riding a horse to ask questions, like this kind of thing that you don't know when you arrive at the gate of the county seat, is simply a fantasy.

However, this is also convenient for the Dongjiang army to start. He turned his head to the side and muttered a few words with laughter. Looking at Mao Jue with winks, Kuroda rookie, who had been encouraged by his family and has become Dongjiang's loyal dog, immediately returned to the front of the army with a smile on his face. , Facing the Inuyang guardian is a samurai worshiped.

"Your Excellency does not know, the shogun's imperial order "Samurai Laws", if a samurai leaves a feudal country without authorization and enters another country's territory without a legitimate reason, it is considered a rebellion."

"I know that? What's the matter?"

"So, my Maori family is rebellious!"

The unlucky guardian Inuyang didn't understand what happened, and the rookie Kuroda, who had already shown his fierce face, still drew his sword violently. Not to mention, this guy looks like a debauched and rich swinger. Of course, it was just a comparison with a third-rate master like Quanyang, and the bald half of his head flew away with just a click of a knife.

Blood sprayed all over his body, and he never thought that the "Maori warrior" in front of him would kill as soon as he said it. He was stunned for a while, and the remaining village warriors finally uttered their words, taking this sentence as their last words.

The guns were not fired, and the vanguard directly put on their bayonets and charged. The 32 warriors were caught off guard for 1 minute and did not hold up. The bayonets coming from all directions directly tied them into blood gourds. There is really no difference between whether the door is closed or not. Seeing that the door is bleeding, the Japanese people inside and outside the door finally escaped screaming in all directions.

The pioneer left the gate, and immediately yelled, Liu Chong, the Jingqi of Dongjiang's headquarters, rushed to the county. In less than 10 minutes, it was equivalent to Kashima County, a small feudal domain, with the surname Mao up.

Don't look at the outside, it's quite shabby and shabby. 70.00% of the food and wealth of the entire Kashima County are gathered in the county government office. The land chief who was wearing a tall hat knelt on the ground tremblingly. Mao Li stepped forward and kicked open the door of the warehouse. Inside, the warehouse full of rice, flour and other food immediately came into Mao Jue's eyes.

This expedition was mainly for the upcoming food shortage in Dongjiang due to the population explosion. Mao Jue didn't even care much about the seized property. Looking at these things, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and put them away with ease. waved.

"Move away!"

It’s not like they’re here to fight, they’re here to pick up money. They came here in a threatening manner just now. Many people didn’t see any blood. They turned into porters directly, and some were lazy and pulled out a bunch of small coins Come on, those Japanese people who are afraid of dying in hiding in the house don't care whether your family is the day before yesterday or the Maori family, they immediately turned around and joined the Dongjiang Army's large transport column. Like a long dragon, the people in Kashima County Tens of thousands of stones of grain were transported to the Black Pearl, which was docked by the sea.

Looting really makes people feel ecstatic. No wonder the Vikings in ancient Western Europe were willing to be proud of being pirates. They originally planned to be careful about tentative attacks. Seeing the appearance of moving directly when they came here, Mao Jue's heart suddenly became wild. , He stretched out his hand and greeted Liu Xingzuo and his brothers.

"You guys, go north immediately, and attack as soon as possible before these villagers pass on the news. At sunset today, the whole of Noto will be destroyed!"

"The last will obey!"

It was still fun to fight with Mao Jue. The brothers of the Liu family were no longer as rebellious as they were before. They completely regarded Mao Jue as Mao Wenlong, kneeling respectfully and giving a military salute. Mao Jue slapped his head again on the body of Quanyang guard who had been dug at the gate of the city.

"and many more!"

"If these Japanese people are so cute and stupid, if they don't take advantage of them, they would be too blind. Where is the Kuroda rookie? You follow the five generals of the Liu family, and so on."

Hearing Mao Jue's ear-piercing instruction to Kuroda Xinxiu's forehead, big drops of cold sweat suddenly came out, and he gave Mao Jue a strange and fearful look, and immediately knelt down.

"The last will obey!"

The people of this country are also small, even if it is a Lingzhi country, it is actually about the size of a county, at most half the size of Yizhou, and it is divided into four administrative districts, less than half an hour, next to Yuza County , Eight hundred Dongjiang cavalry arrived carrying the three flags of the Maori family.

This time the commotion was much more lively than it was in Kashima County. Hundreds of townspeople and farmers from Yuza County gathered to watch the commotion, while Kishichiro, the governor of Yuza County, held his sword with confidence. , waiting for the challenge from the "Maori Samurai".

In a circle, Kuroda Nobuhide was also gesturing with his own knife, but with the sound of a gong at the beginning, and the sound of a whoosh, the impatient Yi Ding Tuqi who had been waiting for a long time suddenly turned over Get on the horse, and the tornado blows over like that.

There was a flash of swords and swords, and the guards of Yuza County, who were still waiting to watch the excitement, were directly trampled into meat by tall war horses from Liaodong. The majestic county mansion was easily snatched by the Dongjiang Army.

"You, you're cheating, you agreed to fight one-on-one!"

It was so sudden, the first one to be chopped down was the governor of Yuza County, Mu Shichiro, who was really fatal, he was stunned by three swords, but he didn't die, he yelled tremblingly while supporting the samurai sword.

I haven't realized it until now, and it really deserves Mao Jue's cute and stupid words. This Kuroda Nobuhide also shook his head speechlessly, pulled out the knife and clicked it, and then put the knife back into its sheath.

"Now we are heads-up, and I win!"

With a thud, Kinoshita Mamoru also fell to the ground with a dead face.

It was too easy to go down to the city, and it took another ten minutes to kill a few rogues in the city, leaving a hundred cavalry guards, with red eyes, raising his whip to the north, Liu Xingzuo roared excitedly Tongue out.

"Next city!"

Chapter 225. The Mao family also has retainers

At sunset, in response to Mao Jue's order, the northernmost Jiuzhou County was also accompanied by a group of men brandishing sabers and running in the sunset, screaming about their lost youth. The Wa Kingdom has 68 orders and 21 shi. His territory fell into Mao Jue's hands.

However, it seems to be quite remarkable, but in fact the territory captured is only the size of a county, and the difficulty is even a little lower than Li Zicheng's capture of a county in Daming. There is no way, it is too unexpected!

First of all, Mao Jue came from the sea. Even in the Warring States Period of Japan, there were only a few naval battles, and the Japanese hardly had this concept.Second, Tokugawa Ieyasu pacified the troubled times and promulgated the "Samurai Laws", which stated that if a samurai of one family did not have the permission of the shogunate, he could not enter another family's territory. On the contrary, if he entered, he would definitely be allowed.

And the third point is that Mao Juejun's subordinates are too tall and strong, and they still have money to buy armor, so people in Japan must only be warriors, not bandits, cats and dogs. Those people can't eat enough. Not to mention growing such a body of tendons.

This world is really hopeless. You have to look at your face in battle. With their tough faces, more than 200 defenders and warriors in four counties died under the sword for no reason.

In the evening, Mao Jue also got his first bonus from Japan, which was about 1 shi of grain and about [-] taels of gold and silver.

"General, please don't take it lightly. Most of the warriors who are the backbone of the previous day's family are scattered in the countryside, especially the general retainers. There are hundreds of family members and more than [-] people from the previous day's family. Although Nengdeng country is poor, there are about a hundred retainers. Gathering is no small force.”

"Oh? Ben will know!"

Hearing Kuroda Nobuhide's advice, Mao Jue raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

The system of the Wa Kingdom is really very similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period in China. The Emperor is the nameless and wimpy Zhou Tianzi. The samurai is the class of scholars, completely feudal at all levels, but since the Qin Dynasty in China, this kind of feudalism has transformed into a unified bureaucratic society, while the Japanese still maintain the original feudal class, and they are loyal to each other at all levels.

Just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was in the world back then, he could only order his retainer Honda Tadakatsu through Tokugawa Ieyasu, instead of allowing Honda Tadakatsu to be loyal to him directly.

These large and small landlord families called retainers lived scattered in the territories of the daimyo and the shogun. Their land was called the Zhixing land, and they were considered the smallest feudal lords. In times of war, they needed to send troops to fight with Daming.

Of course, there are still quite a few low-level warriors and bannermen who have no knowledge and practice, and live directly in the military camp of Daming Jucheng, relying on receiving support rice and gold to live. Those are thorough professional soldiers, although their combat effectiveness is not very good.

If you want to invade the Kanto Plain on a large scale, it is essential to have a solid battle site on Honshu Island. The terrain of the Noto Peninsula is really suitable for the Dongjiang River, which is being transported to the ship. Mi Liang, after a while, Mao Jue's eyes suddenly became fierce, without turning his head, he waved his hand back to Liu Xingzuo.

"I will understand at the end!"

He quickly ran to the horse again, got on the horse, and the murderer roared wildly.

"Follow me! Kill!"

Amid the sound of hurried hooves, the cavalry outside the Great Wall charged out again with a bloody saber in their hands.

When the matter of exterminating the family was at the Heitian family, the five brothers of the Liu family were already familiar with it. The few manors in the nearby countryside of Jiuzhou County were the first to be unlucky. Entering the thin wooden house of the Japanese people, several teams of cavalry guarded several doors, and came out one by one to hack and kill one cruel and heinous.

But kindness does not control soldiers! Don’t look at how the war has gone smoothly so far. It seems that Mao Jue is bullying the Japanese, but in fact, it is a small town in Dongjiang fighting against the Japanese country with a population of more than 2000 million. If one is not careful, all of them The annihilation of the army is so easy. Mao Jue is the general of Dongjiang, and he does not have the strength and realm of the internationalist fighters, so every step he takes must not be missed. In this war, anyone who can bring a threat to his rear must be exterminated! When the moon was dark and the wind was high, when killing people and setting fire, one night, all the retainers of the Maeda family from 23 families in Jiuzhou County were wiped out. did not stay.

The bloody blood brought unprecedented high efficiency. The narrow exit of the Noto Peninsula was blocked by Mao Jue. The retainers who were unwilling to be killed the day before yesterday gathered more than 1000 samurai. kill the past.

In the afternoon, Mount Fuyue.

Every peninsula has mountains as its bones. Although the mountains here are not high, only 400 meters, they are enough to gain an advantage in military affairs.

Mao Jue has never been defeated until now. The big reason is that most of the battles are in which he presets the battlefield and then defends and counterattacks. He rarely initiates an attack. To be honest, this is a low score in the ranking of generals. Mao Jue's command of operations is too demanding on the timing, the battlefield, and the terrain. He lacks initiative, and it is easy for the enemy to slip away before his eyes or fall into a passive position.

Fortunately, Mao Jue has always been lucky, and the opportunities that fate throws at him are considered to be superior. After going down to three barracks, as the warriors advanced, the three phalanxes marched out with their guns in neat steps amidst the sound of battle horns, setting up formations crossing up and down the mountain.
