On the second day, Ah Hai rode a snow-white war horse in this not-so-wide canyon, from the forest where two cavalry brigades were hidden to the camp where a large amount of food and grass was stored, and inspected the entire battlefield in the south of the Beidazio Mountain to Matsuo Mountain. At the same time, he sent various reconnaissance cavalry to explore the movements of the shogunate army.

The overall situation is still very good. The cavalry brigade set up camp in the bamboo forest and guarded the place where grain was stored. The grain and horse materials were enough for more than a month. Ah Hai felt that it was too much. He planned to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate within ten days. The hills in the Chiaoyama area were decorated with three guns and mercenaries. After the Japanese war meeting, their strength expanded. In addition to the original elite military and mechanical division, there were also newly acquired ronin samurai and samurai. There were 15,000 nominally, but actually more than 23,000.

Kawaharada Hiyoshi has the most qualifications and the highest prestige, and has the most outstanding military achievements. He has been supported to become the commander of the North Wing. In fact, his strength is also the strongest. Kawaharada Brigade is a three-pin gun and the only mixed brigade among the mercenaries, including cavalry, artillery and flintlock line infantry. All its ordnance configurations are arranged according to the United States B army, but because of the long-term war, the combat power is excellent.

The southern wing of Matsuo Mountain is still in chaos. There are the most soldiers here, with more than 40,000 people, and a thick battle formation is arranged. The Japanese like to use various equipment to help in combat, such as blocking the fence of war horses and resisting the bamboo bundles of iron cannons (melting guns), so it takes longer to unfold. The poor firearms with low proportions and a large number of combat powers in this army are weak, and the light spears with unstable fighting spirits make Ah Hai feel unconfident.

Ah Hai supported the twelve heavy artillery of Daming, all of which were old artillery removed from warships. The two-ton eighteen-pound artillery was placed in a fixed artillery position, giving Daming confidence in victory. What disappointed Ah Hai was that for the issue of the ownership of these artillery after the war, Daming quarreled endlessly, and no one wanted Shimazu Kokusa to take possession, so Ah Hai had to guarantee the recovery after the war.

The big names are not strong enough. Ahai not only gives artillery, but also allows more fortifications to be built. It doesn’t matter whether there is or not when the attack channel is available. After all, Ahai does not expect them to decide the outcome.

It took a whole day to inspect. When he returned to the coach's tent, Ah Hai was already thirsty. He shouted, "Get some tea!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The young man who was wiping the legs of the table with his butt sticking out his butt and leaving quickly.

Ah Hai sat in front of the chair, and the scouts had already come in, standing or half-kneeling all over the ground. The combat staff and the intelligence staff each brought an interpreter to ask about their investigation and marked them on the map.

A little later, the combat staff said, "Your Excellency, you have already understood the question. The main force of the shogunate is still in the Ogaki area and is moving towards Sekihara."

"Then you guess, will the shogunate army arrive here on September 15?" Ah Hai took the warm tea handed over by the servant and drank it all in one go.

"It is OK in theory, but the shogunate army is slowing down, which may be delayed for three or five days." said the combat staff.

Ah Hai slapped in the thigh, "Let the staff think of a way, and the shogunate army must arrive as scheduled!"

The combat staff responded quickly. The current General Staff in the Overthrow Coalition Army did not have a Chief of Staff, mainly because it was a temporary General Staff. The Chief of Staff should have Li Laiheng, the commander of the Loyal Division, or the commander of the Guard Brigade, but neither of them were there. The combat staff came from the commander, which can be regarded as a reason to know some inside information. Ah Hai is now imitating the Battle of Sekihara sixty years ago, from the deployment of troops to tactical use, rather than letting the Shogunate arrive on September 15th, because the Battle of Sekihara started on the day sixty years ago.

The young staff members who were hairless privately discussed that this was satisfying the evil taste of the elder Ah Hai, but the combat staff knew very well that the elder in front of him would soon take over as the ruling position, and he needed a refreshing victory. Japan's opponent was really weak. If you want to make the victory bigger, you can only let the shogunate lose where it cannot lose, and at the time when it cannot lose. This node is Sekihara on September 15th. Sixty years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the Western Army here, became the general of the Conquering Yi, and dominated the entire Japan.

The combat staff dispersed with the scout cavalry. Ah Hai was thinking about how to help Tokugawa's family rush speed up, but when he saw the servant beside him kneeling in front of him, the servant said, "Your Highness, the villain has a plan to make the Tokugawa traitor come as promised!"

Ahai looked at the attendant. He knelt on the ground, his face was against the ground, his body was thin and dark in skin. When he recalled carefully, he didn't remember his identity. Ahai ruled everything in Japan as an administrator, and war was only one part of it, so he could only temporarily form a general staff department, and there was no adjutant serving in the army around him. He was originally going to be replaced by his original secretary, but this position that could be close to the president of the country attracted the covetousness of many people.

Japanese daimyo, whether they first defected or later joined, wanted to arrange people to serve Ah Hai, and the same was true for the three-pin guns who returned overseas. Ah Hai allowed several people to join, but he had no impression of the person in front of him. Ah Hai asked, "Which family are you from?"

"The villain's adoptive father is Nobuma Goto, and the villain's name is Kogoro Goto." The servant replied carefully.

Ah Hai nodded. He accepted seven people in total, four of whom were the sons and nephews of Daming, and three of them were from Sanben. Kawaharada and Takasawa were not bad, but the family was placed in Jeju or Yulei Island. Only Nobumasa Goto was different. His nest was in Hwaseong in Nanyang.

Nobuma Goto originally thought that going north was a war, but he didn't know that it was against Japan, and he had to allocate territory after winning, so he did not bring his family to Ah Hai at all. Seeing others stuffing people to Ah Hai, Goto could only find a closest person from Goto's brigade to send him to Ah Hai, which was Goto Kogoro.

"You said you have a way to speed up the shogunate army?" Ah Hai asked.

Goto Kogoro said, "Yes, your lord, but the villain needs something."

As soon as Ah Hai waved his hand, Kogoro went to take it. The combat staff walked up to Ah Hai and said, "Your Excellency, this is a person who is willing to endure hardships."

The combat staff is also a member of the Knot Party, so he speaks casually. Ah Hai asked, "What do you say?"

"Your deputy chief asked everyone to wash your plate five times, and the desk should be spotless at all times, but he alone did it. Wiping the table is even the legs and bottom of the table." said the combat staff.

Ah Hai touched the table, and there was indeed no dust spider web. Seeing Goto Kogoro coming in with something, Ah Hai asked, "Did you wipe this table? Why do you need to wipe it even underneath? I obviously can't see it."

Goto Kogoro said, "As a samurai, you should serve the Lord faithfully and not make any mistakes. The deputy chief asked me to clean the table, and the bottom of the table is also part of the table."

Ah Hai smiled and asked, "Are you a warrior?"

He didn't think Goto Kogoro was a samurai. He seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Goto Brigade was a Nanhua military commander. According to the rules, such a small soldier could not be needed. The samurai of Goto Brigade was an officer, and he could not be an officer.

Kogoro blushed and then said generously, "The villain is not a samurai, but only those who strictly demand themselves as samurai can become a real samurai!"

Ah Hai nodded slightly. When he met Li Mingxun, he was not as big as Kogoro, but at that time, Ah Hai had the idea of ​​following Li Mingxun to do great things. When he asked Li Mingxun to accept him as his disciple, Li Mingxun asked Ah Hai to do everything he did, with strict schedules and high-intensity training every day. Ah Hai did it and persisted, so that today he could have come. He felt that Goto Kogoro was very similar to himself at that time, and knew better than himself to be cautious in his own self.

"Okay, Kogoro, you can tell me your solution first." Ah Hai said.

Kogoro lay on the table and wrote the six words "Big One" from top to bottom on the paper he brought with him with a brush. After writing, Kogoro said, "This is the flag seal of His Highness Mizuna Ishida sixty years ago, the Battle of Sekihara (the actual commander, namely Maori Hiromoto) and His Highness Mitsunari Ishida refers to the world. One is the people and the good fortune is happiness, that is, the ideal of allowing all people in the world to live a happy life.

If this is made into a flag, it will shock the Tokugawa shogunate and let it arrive quickly!"

Ah Hai agreed with this statement because this flag would be like Li Zicheng shouting the slogan of Takada Duofu in the Central Plains. Li Zicheng shouted this slogan is no longer a thief, but has a political force to replace Zhu Ming. The big-young Wandaji flag seal is to inform Tokugawa's family. If it is not won, it will be replaced. Although this is a lie, you should know that in this world, only the senators of the Senate know about Ah Hai's attitude towards Japan. Even those daimyos on Matsuo Mountain do not know that Shimazu Kokuha worked so hard, wasn't it that after defeating the Tokugawa shogunate, Ah Hai could support him for the new generation of generals of the conquering the siege?

"This is a good way, Kogoro, are you really the adopted son of Nobuma Goto?" Ah Hai asked.

Goto Kogoro had to tell the truth that he was Goto's adopted son, but Goto was taken over after landing in Japan. Kogoro was just a poor son. From his name, he was the fifth child in his family. He had a very low status. His father died when he was young and had no choice but to be a cow or a horse for his elder brother. Later, he could not bear the abuse of his elder brother and fled from his hometown to work as a hired worker.

"Why do you speak Chinese?" Ah Hai asked. He couldn't believe that a person would be so proficient in linguistics so quickly.

"The villain once worked as a small vendor in Nagasaki. He knew some Chinese. After being adopted by his father, he learned some more." Kogoro said seriously.

Ah Hai smiled, "That's amazing, you know, learning language fast is also an amazing talent. Kawaharada Hitoe was appreciated by the head of state because of this."

"Yes, it is also because of this that I was adopted by His Highness Goto, just because I couldn't pull the strong bow and had no martial arts skills, so I could only manage some small things for His Highness. But I believe that with my talents, hardships and persistence, I can definitely become a samurai." Kogoro was very honest.

Physical weakness cannot be ignored. Even in the United States, the height requirements of the United States infantry line have gradually increased from 1.6 meters to 1.65 meters, and grenadiers need more than 1.7 meters, and cavalry also have similar regulations, not to mention the navy, the sailors' work is physical work.

Akaido "I'll give you a chance. If you can make this big big Wandaji into a flag and deliver it to the shogunate army and bring it back to Tokugawa Izunobu's handwritten letter, I'll give you a fiefdom of 1,000 stones on Shikoku Island, what if?"

Goto Kogoro was overjoyed, "No, I only need a hundred stones, Kogoro's life is not worth that much money at all."

"You are sincere and sincere. How can you take back your words if you say them?" The combat staff laughed.

Goto Kogoro kowtowed quickly and left. He just begged for a horse. Seeing his embarrassed look as he hugged the horse's neck and left quickly, Ah Hai couldn't help but smile, "Do you think he can succeed?"

"Success or not is just a worthless little person." The combat staff said casually.

One day later, Kogoro Goto appeared in front of Ah Hai. He really brought back Tokugawa Izuna's handwritten letter and a gift. In the letter, Tokugawa Izuna declared that he would defeat the anti-shog army on September 15th. If he said so, the shogunate army would definitely arrive as promised, and the gift was just a simple straw raincoat.

Kogoro Goto talked about his method. He gave him a telescope that Goto Nobuma gave him to Tokugawa Izuku and told him that this was a gift from the president and hoped that he would use this telescope to watch his army be destroyed in the land of the rise of his ancestors. This was obviously a provocation, but it worked very well. Tokugawa Izuku wrote a letter and sent a straw raincoat, vowing to let Ah Hai wear this straw raincoat on the day of victory, poured it on the bright oil to ignite it. This is the traditional punishment of the Japanese lord - the straw raincoat dance.

On September 15th, it was dim and the sound of trumpets came one after another. Torrents of soldiers gathered from various mountain passes. Each of them held different patterns of homes. When counting carefully, there were more than 100 families. The Tokugawa family's flags were divided into battle fields in various places. Various troops led sharp soldiers in, while thousands of cavalry stood in front to cover the shogunate army. However, Ahai did not order the cavalry to attack and harass. Even though the cavalry generals and daimyos thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ahai believed that there was no such part sixty years ago.

On the top of Taopai Mountain, Tokugawa Ietsunobu, the general of the Conquering Army, was holding a telescope to observe the array of the anti-straits. Because it was still early in the morning, the lenses of the telescope inherited from Tokugawa Ieyasu were really turbid and could not see clearly. They just saw flags everywhere, bayonets were washed, and in a hazy way, a flag was raised high from the foot of the Treasure Mountain, with the words "Big One Great Great Good".

Sixty years ago, it was also this time and this place. Mitsunari Ishida was also planning a war against the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa family was wearing military uniforms and armor. When he saw the flag, he said, "Hmph, Mitsunari Ishida was on that flag for only three hours. I will catch another Mitsunari Ishida at the foot of Mount Ibuki!"
