Chapter 571

Daqin ushered in its third year with prosperity. Jiangnan provinces carried out vigorous land distribution, and schools sprung up.

Always on the move to the census of registered residence, the northern provinces are busy with the construction of post depot, and the fleet of fleet fleets is looking at the world.

However, the north, South and northeast of the Empire were not peaceful. Lu Xiangsheng, the general of the western expedition, summoned more than 100000 Mongolian young men and women and formally vowed to go out to conquer the four western desert tribes more than 2000 miles northwest of naturalization.

Seoul, the capital of North Korea in the northeast, was finally conquered by HAOGE with eight flag warriors in January. Renzu Li Luo, with a group of civil and military ministers, fled in a hurry to the south. Even the queen and concubines didn't have time to take them away and fell into the palace.

Since Haug entered North Korea with a real woman, he began to burn, kill and loot. He was as powerful as a bamboo all the way. In just two months, he killed Seoul.

Obviously, although the eight banners can't beat the Qin army, it's more than enough to clean up the mob in North Korea.

There is no way. Although there are only fifty or sixty thousand people left in the eight banners, only ten thousand of them can mount a horse to carry a knife. In contrast, there are tens of millions of people in North Korea. The soldiers and horses of all places add up to more than 200000, but there is such a huge gap, but they are beaten by the Eight Banners without the power of backhand.

Li Luo may also know that the female immortal came this time, I'm afraid she didn't just want money, food and beauty. Therefore, after several unsuccessful negotiations, plus the rejection of the envoy sent to the Central Plains, she had to ask the Tokugawa shogunate in the East for help.

Although the Japanese in the East are also jackals, the real woman is a tiger and a leopard, so Li Luo has no choice at all. As long as the Tokugawa Shogunate is willing to come to the rescue, he promised to submit to Japan and offer a confession every year.

Japan has experienced three generations of shogunate period. Tokugawa Shogunate belongs to the last generation. It has only been established for 30 or 40 years. It has won the right from the murmachi shogunate of the previous generation. The murmachi shogunate of the previous generation has controlled the military and political power of Japan for hundreds of years. The reason why it ended is that it was defeated by Daming after invading North Korea. It is only in the past few decades, Therefore, the current general of the Tokugawa Shogunate was overjoyed and puzzled in the face of Li Luo's request for help.

The joy is that Japan's thousand year opportunity to annex North Korea has finally come. I wonder why Li Luo would ask for help like Japan, not like the Central Plains Dynasty?

It was not until the messenger explained that he realized that he had no worries in his heart and agreed. Moreover, due to the critical situation in Seoul, he immediately sent more than 5000 warriors to support him.

The Tokugawa Shogunate did not want to send more troops, but on the one hand, it took time for the army to gather, and on the other hand, it was afraid that the Central Plains Dynasty, which had just ended the war, would intervene, so it only sent 5000 people to try the water and see the reaction of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the support of these 5000 Japanese samurai that Seoul insisted from last summer to this spring. If the food and grass in the city had not been destroyed, I'm afraid it could still stick to it again.

No way, although the 5000 Japanese warriors are cruel and hard enough, they are not the opponent of the eight flag cavalry in the field, so they can only defend in the city.

After Li Luo and the Minister of civil and military affairs fled to the south, the eight banners were temporarily unable to pursue. After all, they besieged for more than half a year. Although most of the dead were captured Korean soldiers, they also suffered some casualties more or less.

What's more, after being displaced for so long, I finally broke through a big city. Naturally, I should take a good rest and enjoy it.

For several days, Seoul was plunged into a carnival. The men hugged each other again, eating and drinking in the sea. The women also lived in the big house again, dressed in gold and silver, and selected servant girls. They were busy. They obviously didn't intend to leave.

As for the Koreans and Japanese in the south, Hogg and the eight flag warriors didn't pay attention at all. Although they couldn't win the Qin army, it was more than enough to clean up Korea and Japan.

Today's Tokugawa Shogunate general, Tokugawa Jiaguang, is the third general of the Tokugawa Shogunate. He has just succeeded his father, Tokugawa Zhongxiu, for a few years, but his ambition is much more than his father.

When he learned that the Eight Banners had broken Seoul, he was in a hurry and couldn't sit still. He immediately summoned celebrities from all over the country to discuss the matter. Finally, except for a few celebrities who were afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty, almost all other celebrities agreed to send troops to North Korea, and all of them rubbed their hands.

During the Japanese shogunate period, although the emperor was nominally the largest, the military and political power of the country was in the hands of the shogunate generals. Although the shogunate generals had the greatest strength, there were many local princes, commonly known as big names.

Some of these big names have strong strength and many soldiers. Even the shogunate should be afraid of three points. Some big names have a territory of only a hundred miles and a population of only tens of thousands. They have to rely on powerful big names to survive.

Generally speaking, Japan in the shogunate era can be summed up in a Chinese sentence, that is, the shogunate general takes the emperor to order the princes. The stronger the strength of the shogunate, the stronger the rule over its daimyo. On the contrary, the weaker the strength, the weaker the rule.

The last murmachi shogunate was ambitious to annex North Korea because of its strong strength. As a result, Wanli mobilized an army for three times and seriously damaged its vitality. Finally, it was occupied by the powerful Tokugawa daimyo Hatoyama, who took the opportunity to destroy the murmachi shogunate together with other daimyo and replace it.

Therefore, several other powerful celebrities naturally wish that Tokugawa Shogunate would follow in the footsteps of muruchi shogunate again. They would smash their heads in North Korea and bleed blood. Finally, they could pick up a bargain. Anyway, the Central Plains Dynasty would not come to Japan. If they succeed, they can take advantage of them. Once they fail, they will unite to take the opportunity to kill Tokugawa Shogunate, Divided up their territory and population.

After all, although all big names must send troops, the shogunate definitely wants to occupy the majority, and that is indeed the case.

Tokugawa Jiaguang is preparing to send 100000 troops to the East this time. The shogunate has sent 50000 troops and other major names have jointly sent 50000 troops, which shows the strength of the shogunate.

The reason why he sent so many troops and horses is that Tokugawa Jiaguang wants to defeat the immortal and eat the whole North Korea before the Central Plains Dynasty reacts.

As long as he can eat North Korea quickly, he will not be afraid even if the Central Plains Dynasty really sends a large army to come.

After all, no matter how many troops there were in the Central Plains Dynasty, without the food and grass supplies from North Korea, they had to drag them down by sending food and grass all the way from the Central Plains.

This is also a lesson learned from the three great expeditions of Wanli. At that time, the murmachi shogunate had some scruples and did not destroy and annex North Korea at the first time, giving Daming time and opportunity to dispatch troops.
