Become a feudal king from today - #892 - Chapter 906: A Brief History of Japan

“Since you are looking for death, I will give you a ride. ReadМ” Zhao Xu punched Tianzhu’s position and snorted coldly.

He must face up to the current threat from Western Turkey.

Because the current Western countries are at the peak of their steam industry.

If they develop on a normal track, they will be able to break through the limitations of steam power and leap into the second electric revolution in as little as ten years or as long as twenty or thirty years.

At that time, the cost of fighting Dasong with the Westerners will become higher and higher.

The benefits of war will become smaller and smaller, or even negative.

Therefore, when he has an advantage, he must quickly defeat them just like the Westerners dealt with the natives.

While he was thinking, he was also thinking about how to crack the hunt for Da Song this time.

After looking around, his eyes finally landed on the Southern Territory.

Although there is a lot of excitement in the north, the north relies on the passes, and Beidi and Rus are unable to make any waves.

The south is different. Outside the southern borders of Dasong are all colonies of Western Turks.

The Western Turks are likely to use these colonies as a basis to create war.

At the same time, the South also had the resource he desperately needed—rubber.

Before the thermal power plant can generate electricity, he must obtain the rubber plantation in the southern region.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce insulation for wires, bicycle wheels, and, after the advent of the internal combustion engine, automobile tires.

Therefore, whether it is to defend the enemy from outside the country or to seize rubber.

The war in the Eastern and Southern Regions is unavoidable.

Of course, this does not mean that we should just leave the North alone.

He ordered the Bingzhang Division to produce cavalry guns in order to deal with Beidi.

The focus is on the Eastern and Southern Territories, and he will not be delayed in taking care of Beidi.

Furthermore, he planned to build five armies so that he could fight two fronts of war at the same time.

Now, Yang Feng is already recruiting soldiers. As long as the sources of soldiers are in place, they will undergo three months of training.

Dasong then had a considerable standing army.

Then, his eyes turned to Japan.

Before going south, it is necessary to completely solve Japan.

He didn’t want to have any more problems on the east side when dealing with the north and south fronts.

The most important thing is that if the chaos in Japan does not end, half of Japan’s commodity export market will be missing.

For the sake of his Dongtu business circle, he also had to settle the Watanabe case.

What’s more, the northern lord’s army was equipped with front-loading rifled guns, and the marines were equipped with Qin-style rifles.

This means that the time has come to capture Japan at the minimum cost.

…

at the same time.

Edo.

In a country house, Watanabe suddenly woke up from his nap.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he stood up and walked outside the house, exhaling a breath.

“Sam’s warships have arrived. They are telling me that Japan will be saved soon, and Japan will not surrender to Dasong.” Watanabe muttered.

Just now, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, his army was defeated by Dasong’s army, and he died on the battlefield.

He also dreamed of a vague image.

This image seems to be that of King Yan, who beheaded him with a Japanese sword.

“General.”

At this moment, Taro Aso came over and saw Watanabe’s face pale, and he looked worried.

Since then, King Yan’s soldiers and horses have blocked Japan and attacked the coast.

They had to abandon the coastal cities and hide in the countryside, even in the valleys.

Fortunately, there are many mountains in Japan and there are many fertile fields in the valleys, so they have been able to support themselves until now.

However, the fertile fields in the countryside and valleys are enough to support the army.

But the poor days have caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese nobles.

Especially after the four northern vassals surrendered to King Yan, many people had the idea of ​​surrendering to King Yan.

However, due to the authority of the Watanabe case, this idea was only circulated, but no one dared to implement it.

But just when this idea was growing more and more like weeds, they finally had hope.

The warships of Sam Kingdom appeared on the coast of Edo.

The news spread immediately throughout the South.

Those who questioned the Watanabe case kept their mouths shut.

“How is the reorganization of the army?” As Taro Asana arrived, Watanabe immediately shook his head, as if to get rid of the memory of the nightmare.

“Back to the general, the 200,000-strong army has been reorganized and is ready to fight at any time.” Taro Asana lowered his head and said, “At the same time, the feudal lords are also gathering their troops.”

“Well, that’s good.” Watanabe’s eyes narrowed, “I believe that the Westerners will soon be able to defeat King Yan at sea, but before they defeat King Yan, we must survive.”

Through all kinds of intelligence, he learned that the four northern vassals had obtained the muskets installed by Dasong’s army from Dasong.

It was this musket used by the Dasong army to defeat them.

After getting these muskets, the four northern vassals were preparing their soldiers to adapt.

At the same time, news also spread that Hojo Kawakei was uniting with other three vassals to prepare to go south.

However, the four northern vassals had their own conflicts.

They haven’t reached an agreement yet.

But this is a bad sign after all.

Therefore, in order to deal with the possible attack by the four northern lords, he summoned the army and the southern lords.

Inside, he wanted to defeat the four northern vassals, suppress rebellion, and reestablish authority.

Outside, he wants to prove his ability to the Westerners and that he is qualified to be a chess piece to contain Da Song.
