Become a feudal king from today - #898 - Chapter 912 Beacon

Anton City. ReadМ

Just as Zhao Xu expected, Dong An was currently with the four northern feudal lords, Hojo, Ono, Oda, and Maori, discussing the war.

After arriving at Andong City, he ordered Hojo Kawakei to send people to invite the three feudal lords Ono, Oda and Mori.

After Hojo Kawakei received a muzzle-loading rifle and experienced the power of the new musket, he became confident and always advocated going south to attack the Watanabe case.

But during this period, due to conflicts of interest when they annexed other small vassals, the relationship between the four families deteriorated again.

None of the four wanted to take orders from anyone else.

When Hojo Chuanqing was helpless, Dong An arrived.

This was a timely opportunity for him.

At the same time, they all met Dong An when they were in Yancheng.

Naturally, there is no doubt about Dong An’s identity.

“Mr. Dong An, today the four northern vassals gathered in Andong, we will obey your order.” Hojo Kawakei looked at Ono Town, Oda Yamasawa, and Maori Yusheng.

The three of them looked at each other, leaned down at the same time, and said in unison, “Please give the order, Mr. Dong An.”

At the moment, although the four families do not look at each other, they are in awe of King Yan.

King Yan’s order is an order that they must carry out even if they die.

Their wealth, life, honor and disgrace will all be tied to King Yan.

After all, the Yan King’s army stationed in their vassal will protect their family.

But the prerequisite is that they are loyal ministers.

Dong An was sitting upright.

Looking at Hojo, Ono and the other four, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Thinking about how embarrassed Prince Yan’s Mansion was back then.

But even so, King Yan managed to survive from desperate situations and continuously defeated the Zhang family, and later defeated the Yuan family.

Now he has defeated the powerful clans and unified Dasong. Even the northern lords of Goryeo and Japan have surrendered to King Yan.

Therefore, he knew clearly that the humility of the four people in Hojo towards him was essentially humility towards King Yan.

“The small vassals in the north have given you enough to eat. Now, the border you control basically coincides with the border of the southern vassal, right?” Dong An asked.

“Yes, it was the generosity of His Highness King Yan who gave us the front-loading rifles that made the war go so smoothly.” Oda Yamazawa said.

Dong An nodded, “In this case, you should work together to take over the land in the south? Instead of shrinking in the north and fighting against each other.”

He was not aiming for nothing, but to defeat the four northern vassals before the war.

To prevent them from still breaking each other down when fighting.

After a pause, he continued, “Besides, it’s useless for you to grab it. After defeating the Watanabe case, it is ultimately His Highness King Yan who has the final say on the land you obtain. So, you know, if anyone doesn’t contribute, huh snort……”

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

They said in unison, “We dare not. Under Dong Anjun’s leadership, we will put aside our grudges and kill the enemy together.”

Dong An nodded with satisfaction, “In that case, you all go back and prepare. This time, the Marines stationed in your territory will also accompany you, and the fleet on Wufeng Island will also carry Dasong soldiers to cooperate with you.”

When the four people in Hojo heard this, they were shocked and instantly became confident.

At this moment, they temporarily forgot their grudges.

With the help of King Yan’s soldiers and horses, they will definitely win this war.

In the afternoon of that day, Ono Town, Oda Yamazawa and Mouri Yusheng returned to their respective domains.

After three days of preparation, the four families gathered their 200,000 troops.

Among them, the Hojo and Ono family are in the east, and the Oda family and the Mori family are in the west.

The two roads went south at the same time, advancing southward along the coastline.

Each of their families has more than 50,000 troops.

But the 50,000 soldiers sent out were all equipped with front-loading rifles.

The remaining soldiers were also equipped with old matchlocks and flintlock muskets.

For them, these soldiers played no role on the battlefield, so they stayed in the domain and were responsible for the defense.

At the same time, twenty-four steamships also arrived at Wufeng Island.

After receiving the order, Gong Ying immediately dispatched to contact Dong An.

At the same time, he asked the Marines to prepare for a fatal blow against Japan, and cooperated internally and externally to eliminate the Watanabe case.

Naturally, such a big movement among the four northern lords could not be hidden from the Watanabe case and the southern lords.

Due to the arrival of Sam’s warships, the frantic southern lords gathered a large number of troops at the same time to prepare for a decisive battle with the 200,000 troops led by Watanabe Case and the four northern vassals.

“In two days, they will enter Kono Domain, and we will fight them at Shirakawa.” In the valley east of Edo, Watanabe said to the domain lord and his generals.

Kono Domain is on the north side of Edo and can be said to be the north gate of Edo.

Moreover, from Edo to Kono Domain and then to Oda Domain, there are mountains on both sides of the road.

In the vast valleys among the mountains are a large number of plains.

This kind of landform can be found everywhere in Japan.

Therefore, if the Oda clan and the Mori clan wanted to attack Edo, they had to break through the Kono clan.

The narrowest place in Kono Domain is called Shirakawa Castle, which is the only way to go south.
