Chapter Ninety Two Attacks from Three Sides
The representatives of Daming didn't want to make any comments, but seeing Ah Hai's serious face without any expression, they didn't dare to speak. These people now know Ah Hai's identity, the head of state of the United States, the ruling nephew, and the president's specialist in all military and political affairs concerning Japan. In addition to his identity, what made everyone afraid of Ah Hai's temper.
Outside Nagasaki, Ah Hai met with the daimyos who escaped from Edo Castle and the daimyo descendants who gathered from all over the country. At that time, Ah Hai proposed that the vassals send their legitimate sons to Jeju to discuss matters and stay at the headquarters to assist in government affairs. In fact, they were hostages, but they were opposed by Uesugi Tsunaki, the brother of the Yonezawa vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vass
Uesugi Tsunaki was obviously a short-sighted man. He obviously didn't know the strength of the United States. This frog in the well died and only thought that the United States was a group of pirates overseas, similar to Zheng Fan, who once plagued the Seto Inland Sea.
Uesugi Tsuna Ken's head was sent to Yonezawa's vassal state. Ah Hai asked the vassal state to send a new hostage. As for the Uesugi family's unrestrainedness in the north, Ah Hai did not consider it at all.
"Your so-called lord of a country is just a county magistrate in the eyes of our Celestial Dynasty. The war between you is at most a village chief fight for us. People are more likely to know themselves!" The delegates remembered the "crazy words" that a staff officer said to them. Although Ahai dealt with the staff officer, the delegates deeply realized that this is how the people in the Central Kingdom view themselves.
The Japanese representatives did not dare to make requests, but Ah Hai had to take their feelings into consideration. As the staff imagined, it would be impossible to treat the Japanese foreign vassal as cannon fodder and the leading party. Too much disrespect would only backfire. They were forced to help each other and sincerely, and the final results were very different. Ah Hai was not a general, he was a politician.
"The war in Kyushu is left to Lord Shimazu Kokusa, Garcia, you will take your Garcia regiment and a heavy artillery battalion to assist in the war and obey the command of Lord Mitsuha." Ah Hai said the first arrangement, and the representatives breathed a sigh of relief, at least responsible for the battle in one war zone, and the face was saved.
Japan's current main territorial divisions are on three major islands, among which the Kyushu Islands, the Inverted Alliance has an absolute advantage. The Tokugawa Shogunate has only a few Kuyoda Daming in Kyushu, and its strength is about 100,000 stones, which is the one in the Kazushima family. Such vassal states are local battles, and can pull out four or five thousand troops, or 4 or 5,000 strong men. Together, less than 30,000, which is less than half of the Shimazu family. The Kuyoda Daming was the main force who besieged Nagasaki at the time, and suffered heavy losses and his strength was no longer as good as before.
The Garcia regiment was cooperating with the Kyushu War Theater. Garcia was a hero who helped the United States explore the Beida Nian. Because the United States privately was not allowed to form an army, Garcia had never been naturalized and continued his mercenary career. Although he obtained the number of the South China Security Assistance Corps, he was actually just affiliated. Garcia participated in the war in the South China region all year round. Whenever someone, country or force needed them, Garcia reported to the Chief Executive of South China and could go to war with permission. The colonial company was its main customer. The Garcia regiment's footprints were all over Africa, South Asia and South China, so there were all kinds of people in its army. Overall, the Portuguese and other Europeans served as officers and non-commissioned officers, and the South China and the African indigenous people were the main forces.
The mercenary group does not have to consider honors. They will give the money to the person who will work hard. It is natural to accept the other party's command, and it is most appropriate to let it go to Kyushu.
"Li Laiheng led the Tadaic Division, and the 51st Division landed on Shikoku Island, Shintani and Shimazu, and sent guides to cooperate, and the Marine Corps would also send a brigade to cooperate." Ah Hai announced the issue of the second war zone, namely the Shikoku War Zone's command authority.
The Shikoku is also an island outside Honshu Island. There are also several external daimyos in this island, but the pro-vassal daimyos and the Judae daimyos had the upper hand. The most important thing is that when He Bin went to Edo to contact him, although the two external daimyos, which had more than 200,000 stones, were contacted, at the last moment, after the Edo riot, the two daimyos did not cooperate with the plan, so they were enemies of the Anti-Scene Alliance.
The entire island of Shikoku Island is only 1.1 million stones, and at most 60,000 soldiers can be pulled out. Considering that Li Laiheng landed on land, besieged from all sides, attacked everywhere, and attacked everywhere, there is a high possibility of defeating each one. Moreover, there are also internal forces like the Kato family of Shintani in the reverse alliance, which is enough.
Li Laiheng was very satisfied with this kind of war zone configuration. He didn't have to worry about the battle at sea. He was only responsible for land wars. Two divisions and one brigade had more than 30,000 people, which was enough to sweep Siguo Island. Li Laiheng knew his identity very well. Even though the Zhongzhen Division was the A-level division of the United States, he Li Laiheng was not the direct line of the Senate. The land brigade was versatile. It was appropriate to command himself as a major general. The 51st Division was an affiliate of the Fifth Division of the Zhongzhen Division. It formed an army in Tainan. At that time, the Zhongzhen Camp and the Kowloon Company sent some officers and veterans to join, which was closely related to the Zhongzhen Division, and it was only the only division that he could command.
The brigade commander of the Guards Cavalry Brigade is also a major general. The 52nd Division is the second affiliated Division of the Loyal Division, but in fact, officers and non-commissioned officers were drawn from the Guards Division. He was the strongest combat power among the B Division, and he could not command. Only Ah Hai could command this kind of army out of the Guards Division. Not to mention anything else, the main officers of the Guards Division and the Guards Brigade were all students of the head of state, Li Mingxun, or officers from the attendant room, and Ah Hai was the eldest brother of everyone, and everyone was convinced of his orders.
The remaining army belongs to the army commanded by Ahai himself and participated in the battles of the Western Kingdom. The Guards Cavalry Brigade and the 52nd Division are guards units. The other two cavalry Brigades are direct troops from Yongning, the Eastern Brigade and the Black Water Brigade, who followed Ahai from Yongning. Only when Ahai landed in the Western Kingdom can he obtain command from the Japanese foreign daimyo to avoid causing political disputes.
The military command is allocated, and even if the meeting is over, the legitimate sons of Daming will stay in Jeju, but they will not be hostages bored. The United Front School will include these young people in it and teach some military knowledge, which is free. The representatives and the generals came out one after another. Two people were left behind, one was Kawaharada Hoshie, and the other was Shimazu Tsunaku, the son of the Shimazu vassal lord.
Ah Hai asked: "His Excellency Shimazu, have you discussed the matter about Ryukyu?"
The Shimazu family is the most important member of all the Japanese daimyos that cooperate and is also an old friend of the United States. According to He Bin, the Shimazu family has made great contributions to convincing so many foreign daimyos, but there is still a problem between the Shimazu family and the United States, that is, Ryukyu. After all, the Shimazu family once ruled Ryukyu for many years.
"We can give up our claim for Ryukyu and recognize the United States' rule over this place, but my father hopes to be compensated." Tsunaku said carefully.
Ryukyu is not indispensable to the Shimazu family. In fact, the invasion of Ryukyu was mainly used to carry out foreign trade. I don’t have to care about this now, because after the war, all vassals could trade foreign trade, and there was no shortage of Ryukyu. In addition, the income brought by Ryukyu, because the annexation of the Shimazu family of Ryukyu increased by 120,000 stones, which was what the United States should make up for, and it was also the conditions that He Bin agreed to the Shimazu family.
"Shimazu family wants how much compensation Shigao wants, please tell me." Ah Hai leaned on the back of the chair.
In a word, compensation is limited to the territory. In fact, what Shimazu family wants is trade privileges, such as monopolizing one of the three types of raw silk, tea, and sugar. In that case, even if there is no territorial compensation, it doesn't matter. But at this time, Ah Hai only talks about the territory, and then there is only territory.
Shimazu Tsunaku stood up and bowed and said, "Please give me mercy!"
Shimazu Tsunaku didn't dare to give an answer at all. He was unwilling to give up if he wanted less. He was afraid of annoying Ah Hai. Ah Hai didn't think much about it and said, "I can make the decision. I can compensate you 150,000 stones on Kyushu Island. Let's choose from the soon-destroying Kuai Daiming Territory. You can choose the region."
This is a high compensation, which means that the core area of the Shimazu family has expanded by a quarter. The retainer behind Shimazu Tsunaku whispered: "It's very reasonable, Your Highness, you can agree."
Shimazu Tsunahiro asked, "I'd like to ask if the territory was in other places, would it be more?"
"Of course, I can compensate you for the territory of 200,000 stone high after the war." Ah Hai said casually, and Shimazu Tsunaha said: "Sir, we chose 200,000 stones, just hope to border with our reward place."
"The Shimazu family has great ambitions." Ah Hai agreed and said with a smile.
Shimazu Tsunaha said: "This is a battle of family rejuvenation. Every member of the Shimazu family must give everything to it. We must conquer the territory and defend the territory!"
In addition to the main interests of the formation of the Shogun Alliance, Daming has maintained its territory through alliance with the United Nations and gained an independent position higher than before. The most important thing is to allocate the newly occupied territory after the war. After the Shimazu family wiped out the shogunate forces of Kyushu, they will also participate in the war on Honshu Island. After the victory, they will naturally obtain the territory of Honshu Island. Obviously, since the territory needs to be separated, it is better to have more. Besides, the Shimazu family is still qualified to separate the territory of the Kyushu Island that is a territorial daimyo and the proprietor Daimyo on Kyushu Island.
"This battle is to judge heroes by success or failure, and divide territory by military merit. Let your father and brother work hard." Ah Hai encouraged Tsuna Shimazu for a few words and sent him out, leaving only Ah Hai and Kawaharada Hitoe in the room.
"Kawarada Hiewe, do you know why I left you alone?" Ah Hai asked.
Kawaharada Hiroe has been thinking about this question since he stayed. First of all, it is not because of his strength. Kawaharada's former Kawaharada team was originally a group of the Yi Cong Army in the Beiyang War Zone. It has made many military achievements in the wars between North Korea, Shandong and Liaodong, and was divided into Kawaharada's team and Takasawa's team. Takasawa Heisakiro was once a retainer of Kawaharada and has now been independent. Because of his military achievements, both of them have become brigade commanders, and Kawaharada Hiroe is even the brigade commander of the mixed brigade.
After the declaration of war on Japan was confirmed, all Japanese forces in the United States began to be separated from the army. The reason was that after the war, these people would obtain fiefs in Japan and become an important force in the United States to influence Japan in the future. After Kawaharada and Takasawa's army separated, the number of people was no longer enough, because many Chinese people were unwilling to follow them to Japan to fight, even if Kawaharada Hiroe promised to divide the land for everyone and become a samurai on the ground.
Fortunately, Jeju accepted many Koreans who could not survive and added them to these two armies. Many Mongolians, Jurchens, and even Manchus in the army were willing to follow Kawahata and Takaze to Japan to be masters.
There are still 7,000 people in Kawaharada's mixed brigade, but there are many new recruits. Of course, it has been changed to Kawaharada according to Japanese tradition.
"Your Highness, you are incompetent in your duties and can't guess it." Kawaharada Eiyuki.
Akaido: "As far as I know, among all the Japanese in the Unicom, you are the only one who was promoted by the Head of State. Before the Abolition Act and the Extension of Personal Response Act were promulgated, you should be the retainer of the Head of State."
Kawaharada Hitoe focuses on the key points, which is also something he is proud of throughout his life. He met Li Mingxun on Yuling Island, and went with him to Yongning, and then took charge of the Humaer Gold Mine and took charge of Yuling Island. Kawaharada Hitoe has reached this level because of Li Mingxun's kindness.
"Your Excellency, no matter what happens in the future, the Kaharada family will be the most loyal samurai of the Head of State." Kaharada Hoeme said solemnly.
Ah Hai waved his hand: "I won't talk about this now. I want to keep you behind. I want to know from you that when you worked for the head of state, did he promise you anything?"
Kawaharada Hitoe said honestly: "There hasn't been anything. The head of state just promised to give me the same opportunity as the Han people. In addition, I told me that as long as I work hard, I can revive the family and become the leader of a country again."
"The Lord of a Country? Haha, it's easy to become the Lord of a Country with your ability and the thousands of people under your command. Now I will give you a chance to lead your army to Sado Island, conquer it, and then hand it over to the troops sent by the Yongning Administrative Region. With the strategy of Sado, I will give you a hundred thousand stones to reach the country, how about it?" Ahai said.
Kawaharada Ue finally understood that the origin of his Kawaharada family was Sado Island, but Kawaharada had already been in the Nao Country during this generation. In this battle, he could obtain a lot of territory with his military achievements, but he could not obtain his hometown Sado, because it was a treasure and silver island, which produced gold and silver. Even in Kawaharada's former land, he could not eat it and did not dare to eat it.
