"If you don't grind in March, your sword will rust. If the army wants to maintain strong combat effectiveness, it must continue to fight and use war to hone the elite soldiers and generals, but we still need a minion army."

The fundamental purpose of establishing a minion army in Fusang is to let these Japanese minions do some miscellaneous and dirty work. Dahua's army is the sharpest sword, a field army. Some messy work still requires the minion army.

To form a Japanese minion army and use Japanese as generals, this is actually written by Emperor Zhang Chao in his letter to Zhang Jing, and even the name of the Imperial Army was decided by Zhang Chao.

When Zhang Jing was in Liuqiu, he also used the Shanyi natives as a military service. The natives also had their own advantages, that is, they were familiar with the place.

“Is Matsuura Qingxiu reliable?”

Some people suggested that the Imperial Army should use Japanese troops and then be commanded by Dahua General.

However, this proposal was rejected by Zhang Jing. The original intention of the Imperial Army was a team of Japanese traitors. Zhang Jing did not intend to make this Imperial Army stronger, but it was just doing some tricks.

It doesn’t even need to equip any good equipment, just use the original Japanese equipment to deal with those rebelling Japanese and maintain public order.

In this way, the Imperial Army could not threaten the Dahua army.

With their ragged equipment, they could not threaten the Dahua army at all.

Matsuura Qingxiu really needs to have any insignificance, and Zhang Jing can quickly destroy him.

However, although the officers of the Imperial Army were all Japanese, their mobilization command was on Dahua's side.

"Matsuura Kyosai directly commanded a brigade of 5,000 people. Isn't it a bit too many?"

"There are three regiments under the First Brigade. We can find three nickname masters to serve as the leader, so that we can also divide Matsuura Qingxiu's powers. It is best to find a nickname master with Matsuura Qingxiu!"

"If you want me, just find three guardian Daming to serve as the regiment commander. I believe that the guardian of the Nine Kingdoms will definitely surrender in the end. At that time, three Daming with a weaker force will be found as the regiment commander. In this way, the patriarch Matsuura Qingxiu was originally just a small-name leader in a county, while the three below were three guardian Daming. Several Daming commanders would definitely not accept the brigade commander of the nickname leader. Let's give the three commanders some hints to support them. I believe that it will not be easy for Matsuura Qingxiu to master this first brigade." Zhang Zhongjian smiled very cunningly.

No one is weak in doing the balance.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but lit up his eyes after hearing this.

We must use both the Japanese and the Japanese. We should choose Matsuura Qingxiu to be the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Imperial Army. This is because of this knowledge of the times and is smart. Such people are easy to use and worry-free, but they must be wary of such people who can grasp it at that time. Therefore, appropriate balance is also very necessary. If Matsuura Qingxiu was not just a nickname, Zhang Jing would not dare to use it.

If the nickname leader is used as the leader, it is estimated that Matsuura Kyosui will completely control the First Brigade by then. Now Zhang Zhongjian proposed to use three daimyos as the leader, which is really a wonderful move.

"Then let's see if the daimyos in Kyushu are aware of the current affairs."

The ultimatum has been issued, and Zhang Jing gave them a month to consider.

In short, if anyone dares not come and surrender in a month, he will lead his troops to attack. According to Zhang Jing's plan, he plans to capture Jiuzhou Island before the New Year this year.

There are nine countries on Kyushu Island, but in fact they are only as big as nine counties.

In fact, the size of Kyushu Island and Takashima Ryuko are almost the same.

"We will start to form the First Brigade with the personnel recruited by us, and we will also assign officers and non-commissioned officers. The regiment and battalion commanders will be temporarily represented by our people. The deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, and supervisors will also be served by our people. In one month, the formation will be completed and preliminary training will be carried out."

"Are there any requirements for the Imperial Army?" Xue Rengui asked.

"As long as we can reach the level of our Dahua militia, our weapons are mainly spears and shields, and some bows and crossbows."

Liu Rengui suggested on the side.

"I think it is not necessary to equip the Japanese with crossbows, but with muskets."

"Mulcan?"

"Your Highness, muskets do not require long-term training than bows and arrows, and do not require much high requirements for the physical fitness of soldiers. During battles, they have strong attack capabilities. Especially muskets, gunpowder, and lead bullets that require, the Japanese cannot make them themselves, and they must supply them. Once we cut off their ammunition supply, their muskets will become fire sticks. Even if they are equipped with bayonets, it is not as good as a spear."

The Japanese are generally shorter, and the Japanese soldiers have very few armor. If they are equipped with muskets, they can not only quickly form combat power, but also have strong lethality. Of course, the more important thing is that they will make the Imperial Army completely rely on Dahua.

Dahua usually should not give them too much ammunition. Once their ammunition is cut off, these Imperial Army troops will have no combat effectiveness.

"Easy each person is only equipped with a musket and a bayonet, and there is no need for armor. At most, they will be given a helmet. In this way, the equipment money will be greatly saved, and they will be more dependent on us. Once their ammunition is cut off, they will be unable to do anything."

Such an Imperial Army is no threat to the Chinese army.

Zhang Jing thought about it, if he really wanted to form a group, his combat effectiveness was still very strong. But the threat to Dahua was very weak.

"The cost of a musket is not cheap either. Now a musket costs two stalemates. And the ammunition is consumed a lot, which is much higher than just firing a long spear."

Gao Kan thinks it is still too troublesome to fire a firearm, and it is better to just fire a long gun or a waist knife alone to save trouble, and the cost is even lower.

Even though Dahua's military system is now developed, the steel cost is low, and assembly line processing and production reduces the cost, a combing gun still costs at least two cents of money.

"I think the clamping gun is better. As a result, the clamping gun can give the Imperial Army some advantages over the Japanese army, so that they can help us and play their due role. If they are only equipped with long spears, what's the use of these people? It's better not to build them. Since they have been built, they must be used. Equipped with clamping guns, even if they sometimes block one side, they can still fight against the Japanese army."

Although there are various problems with the mesh gun, it is still very sharp in this era as long as it forms a large number.

Three-stage shooting, or a positional battle, can definitely fight those Japanese with simple equipment crying for their parents.

The Eastern Expedition Army had a total of hundreds of thousands.

But after conquering Baekje and Silla, Niu Jinda stayed behind and left 20,000 troops in South Korea. The remaining 80,000, now 50,000 in Tangjin, and there is still another troops in the match. In addition, some of the navy have begun to evacuate from the East China Sea and return to their home port. They have completed the mission ahead of schedule.

We are preparing to prepare for the attack on Zhenla, Lion Kingdom and Alakan next year.

Even some troops in the Nanya will evacuate one after another.

Therefore, the entire Japanese battlefield next year, Zhang Jing can use the maximum number of sea and land soldiers and horses.

It is not impossible to conquer the Japanese for 50,000 people, but it is not easy to rule this archipelago country. Therefore, Zhang Jing needed to establish an imperial army, and even in order to preserve Dahua's troops, he might also need this minion army to undertake many combat tasks.

He has to be able to fight, but he cannot threaten Dahua.

Equipping the Imperial Army with a clamp gun is a way to enhance control and quickly improve combat effectiveness.

"Okay, I asked His Majesty to purchase firearms. Then the muskets will be brought to the Royal Army and the equipment must be controlled in our hands, and the amount of ammunition they have must be strictly controlled."

Nagasaki.

Ryuzoji Nobutaka looked at Matsuura Qingxiu's letter and looked very ugly. Matsuura Qingxiu couldn't wait to surrender to Dahua, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that Dahua actually accepted the Fox of Kyushu so quickly.

He even appointed Matsuura Kyosuke as the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Fusang Dahua Imperial Association Army, commanding 5,000 troops.

Five thousand men and horses, the total number of troops of the country of Taimaeki was not that large. As soon as Matsuura Sei subjugated China, she could actually command five thousand men and horses.

He felt both hatred and envious.

In the letter, Matsuura Kyosai advised him to surrender to Dahua, and Nobuki looked more like he was showing off.

Seeing that Matsuura Qingxiu's small-scale nickname master could be so valued by the Prince of Dahua, it is fake to say that he is not envious.

Especially when 50,000 elite troops of Dahua had already set foot on the land of his country's fat and occupied the important city of Tangjin, Shintoki actually knew that he had no chance of winning at all.

Before retreating to Nagasaki, he was more distrustful of the Great Chinese people, and was afraid of surrendering, so he would let Dahua live and kill and take over, and there was no guarantee.

Now he was so moved to see that the old thief Matsuura Kyosu was the first to surrender and even received such good treatment.

The Matsuura family is only one Tangjin, but Tangjin has been occupied by Dahua. Dahua still treats him so well for his surrender, which shows that Dahua is really sincere this time.

"I want to go to Tangjin, but I'm still a little hesitant."

Ryuzaoji Shintaka Road.

Below him are the three retainers of Shao Er Shangdong, Ouchi Yoshitaka and Yoshiha Haruno. These three are all nicknames of a county, and they were once guardians of the Himemaki in the past. However, they were defeated in the past power struggle. In the end, the Himemaki was controlled by the Ryuzakuji family, while the three families of Shao Er, Ouchi and Yoshiha became nicknames of the Dyuzakuji family and became retainers of the Ryuzakuji family.

Shintoki wanted to surrender, but he was worried that he would not get any guarantee.

"I hope you three will go to Tangjin to pay homage to Prince Dahua on my behalf, convey my loyalty to Dahua, and at the same time, I hope to get the guarantee of Prince Dahua."

All three were surprised. Nobuki didn't dare to go, but asked them to go.

Kexinlong made a speech, but the three of them had to go again, so they had to look at each other and nodded in response.
