Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Within the First Legion, Lin Yi's words are the highest will.

Lin Yi wanted Kyushu Island, and Wang Hongchang and others also calculated that as long as their fleet can blockade Kyushu Island and prevent the Sakura Nation soldiers from Honshu Island from landing on Kyushu, then with only [-] people on Kyushu Island, There is no way to stop Da Xia.

As long as the Sakura garrison stationed in Kyushu is eliminated, then Kyushu Island will be the meat in Daxia's bowl, and you can eat it as you want.

Moreover, with the addition of the industrial city of Nagasaki, both Wang Hongchang and Liu Yuxi thought they could give it a try.

It can be said that it is easy for their fleet to block Kyushu Island. After all, there are only four battleships left in the Sakura Empire, and they have no ability to break through Daxia's defense line.

On land, Daxia's army has used its actual actions to prove that they are equally powerful.

Even the main divisions in the area outside the pass are no match for the First Army, let alone the Kyushu Island garrison, 70% of which are new soldiers.

This is the only way to stop the first legion.

However, Wang Hongchang immediately thought of another problem. Kyushu Island is easy to fight, but how to defend it is the problem.

The defense mentioned here is aimed at the civilians inside Kyushu Island.

Kyushu Island is one of the base camps of the important faction of the Meiji Restoration.

Although this so-called overthrow faction has now collapsed, split into four factions including the Changsu Domain and the Satsuma Domain.

But Kyushu Island has always been an important area controlled by Tianhuang of the Sakura Kingdom.

To put it simply, the civilians there are very loyal to Meiji. If Daxia wants to control Kyushu Island, it must face the resistance of these civilians.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongchang directly told Lin Yi the possibility he had just thought of.

Lin Yi smiled faintly when he heard Wang Hongchang's words.

Wang Hongchang said this because he did not understand the nature of the Sakura people.

Indeed, as Wang Hongchang said, after the empire takes over Kyushu Island, it is likely to face resistance from diehard loyalists.

However, for ordinary people, their inner desire to be strong will make them become honest.

If you are a little stronger than him, they will choose to resist, but if you are much stronger than them, these people will become like sheep.

Thinking about future generations, America threw two big mushrooms on Sakura Country's head, and Sakura Country was willing to be America's dog for decades.

As long as the empire shows itself to be powerful enough in the process of occupying Kyushu Island and has the means to intimidate everyone, those people will definitely side with the empire.

As for what are the means of deterrence? Besides bullets and bayonets, Lin Yi couldn't think of anything better than this.

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!

If one person resists, a whole village will be killed! If a village dares to resist, a township will be killed.

Kill until the other party is frightened, until the other party dares not resist!

However, in order to maintain the empire's reputation in the world, the empire must not do these dirty and tiring tasks.

Still have to find an agent.

And what kind of person is most suitable for such a role?

Lin Yi felt that this matter should still be handled by the people of Sakura Country, just like what Sakura Country did in later generations, supporting a puppet.

"Hongchang, I remember that you captured a captain from the Sakura Kingdom before? What was his name? Where is he now?" Lin Yi looked at Wang Hongchang and asked.

When Wang Hongchang heard Lin Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand. Wasn't he discussing with Lin Yi how to deal with the very likely civilian rebellion on Kyushu Island? Why does it involve Jiro Koizumi?

However, although Wang Hongchang did not understand, he still said: "Back to the prince, there is indeed such a person. His name is Koizumi Jiro, and he is still on Yizhou Island."

"In Yizhou? Under Fan Shaozeng?" Lin Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Then call Fan Shaozeng and ask that Koizumi Jiro to come over."

"Yes." Wang Hongchang nodded.

He knew very well that as long as it was Lin Yi's decision, there was no way to change it.

Since there is no way to change it, it is better to just respond first.

Soon, Lin Yi took action quickly.

Orders were quickly transmitted to various places.

At this time, the First Division and the Second Division of the First Army were still resting on the Liaozhou Peninsula.

After Lin Yi's order was delivered to them, Xue Dingshan and Qian Hongtao also began to assemble their troops.

At dawn the next day, the merchant ship transporting them arrived at Liaozhou Port.

Xue Dingshan and Qian Hongtao were also unambiguous and immediately ordered the troops to board the ship.

Although they didn't know what their mission was this time, they became excited when they saw that their destination was Kyushu Island in the Sakura Country.

No matter what, this time we are going to fight Sakura, how can they not be excited?

At the same time, they were afraid that their own strength was not enough, so they directly brought Cui Dongxu's Korean National Salvation Army with them.

After Zhou Chuanjun received Lin Yi's order, he also began to take action.

Zhou Chuanjun's army was concentrated in the Incheon and Seoul areas, and there were also some merchant ships in Incheon Port.

So Zhou Chuanjun immediately ordered the troops from Incheon to board the ship immediately and start heading towards Kyushu Island.

As for Koizumi Jiro, he was the furthest away, but he received the order not much later than Zhou Chuanjun and the others.

Now that the war on Yizhou Island is over, Koizumi Jiro is beginning to feel worried. He is afraid that Daxia will get rid of him if they think he is useless.

But now, he suddenly heard the powerful prince of Daxia asking him to join him by name.

When he heard what Fan Shaozeng said, Koizumi Jiro couldn't believe his ears.

But then, he felt ecstatic and quickly gathered his team.

Lin Yi, on his side, also began to move towards Nagasaki under the cover of night.

When they were about to arrive in Nagasaki, Fang Xiao arranged for spies from Sakura Country to meet them on time and handed the distribution map directly to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi just glanced at it and handed the distribution map directly to Wang Hongchang for arrangement.

Then, Lin Yi began to look at the spy in front of him.

He suddenly discovered that this so-called spy did not seem to be from Daxia.

"Tell me, who are you?" Lin Yi looked at the spy with interest.

"Don't say that you are from Daxia. We Daxia people are not as short as you."

When the spy heard Lin Yi's words, he smiled awkwardly, and then bowed respectfully to Lin Yi.

"Your Majesty has good eyesight, and I am indeed not from the Celestial Empire." The spy said flatteringly.

"Then you should be from Sakura Country. What's your name?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"The younger one's name is Tokugawa Keishi, and my father's name is Tokugawa Keiki."
