The flames of war were completely ignited on Yingdao.
In addition to the four armies, various common anti-kings in the world also appeared in Yingdao.
The Japanese empire in Kyoto was not completely centralized. It was fine during peacetime, but big problems would arise during wartime.
The domestic situation in Yingdao has always been very peaceful. It's not that the people are happy to live in peace, but there are no wars, and there are basically no troops in the enfeoffed territories in various places.
Centralization of power was not about concentrating power in the hands of the emperor, but in the hands of the generals.
The overall political situation of Yingdao has been following the example of Nakashu, and it was moving closer to a centralized system at the beginning. However, it was very difficult to implement it in practice. The land system was completely different, which also resulted in the emperor never being able to completely concentrate military power in his hands.
The land system is all private ownership. Due to the population problem, insufficient production tools and low taxation in Yingdao, the people do not have the extra energy to cultivate more land, which has led to the owners of the land becoming
The "big landowners", that is, families, hold power and force, have different laws, and have different judicial, administrative, military, and taxation models in their respective lands, similar to the shogunate system.
According to the pyramid model, the people of Yingdao in various fiefdoms are loyal to the city lord, the city lord is loyal to the general, and the general is nominally loyal to the emperor. Each general is satisfied with his own interests. If one general is disobedient, the other generals will
We will send troops to kill him, which also guarantees the nominal rights of the emperor.
To be fair, this kind of enfeoffment system is actually very suitable for Yingdao.
The fragmentation of local forces and the desire of rulers to centralize power are basically due to external stimulation, such as expanding territory or being invaded by other countries. This has almost never happened on Yingdao.
In peacetime, this kind of political system and environment had no problems. Now that the stimulation has come, the stimulation from the outside world is quite exciting. When Chang's army invades the house, problems appear one by one.
If it were Chang Dynasty and there were no foreign enemies, the feudal officials like Bing Tao and Di Qinhu, who held military power and were dissatisfied with the imperial court, could only hold back, be submissive and submissive to the imperial court, and behave with their tail between their legs.
Once foreign enemies come in, such as Fanman or Liang Rong, and directly invade the home, will Bing Tao, Di Qinhu and others defend the country and fight for the country? Of course not.
There are many people like Di Qinhu and Bing Tao on Yingdao.
The political system of Yingdao is like this. It is true that I banned you, but you have to roll up your sleeves and work hard to reclaim land, build homes, and even build cities.
The problem arises here. We reclaimed the land ourselves, we built our homes, and we built the cities brick by brick. It doesn’t matter if there are few enemies. We will fight to the death to protect our home, but
Once you know that you can't defeat him, who will be loyal to the emperor? I am loyal to him, but my family is gone, I am gone, my wife and children are gone, so why not beat him?
This is the difference between Changchao and Yingdao.
When the frontier was invaded, the Chang Dynasty court would immediately send troops. The emphasis was that individuals could be killed and every inch of land must be fought for. No inch of mountains and rivers could be lost even with human lives.
It's different here on Yingdao. You defend yours first. How long you can defend is as long as you can. Give us time. We will build a defense line in the rear and gather troops. We believe that if the ground is lost and the people are there, the ground will be restored.
Take it back.
Chu Qing just lit the first fire, the second fire, and the third fire were all lit by the Ying thief himself.
Until now, the four-pronged armies often encountered this situation. As soon as people passed by, the city gate opened wide and the city lord walked over to greet him. When he went up, he kissed the statue of Amaterasu and insisted on doing everything for Amaterasu.
oxen and horses.
The supply line was stretched too long and reached the hinterland of Yingdao. Chu Qing handed over the command to Xiao Yi and returned to the ship. There were too many Japanese soldiers, far more than Yu Chang's army several times. It was only a matter of time before they reached Kyoto.
For the problem, take one step and think three steps. Now it is time to think about how to kill the Empress of Heaven and kill at least 320,000 Japanese.
"On the supply issue, we must ensure that the supply line is continuous. Remember, it is only the supply of our Chang army. Let the Japanese thieves steal the supplies themselves. If they are not suspected, send someone to burn their baggage and blame it on the hostile forces.
.”
"Inform the other three armies to try not to accept surrender. We will fight as many battle losses as possible. If there are no difficulties, create difficulties. The Japanese have recruited too many people."
"The most important thing is to only give gunpowder crossbows and fire oil to our own people. We will not use them unless absolutely necessary. Let the Japanese thieves fight dogs with dogs. The more brutal the beatings, the better. Only give them swords and let them fight fairly."
"Also, go and inform Zhao Baodan that you are optimistic about Uchi Lily and will not leave her for twelve hours. With two hundred golden armored warriors, no Japanese thieves will be allowed to approach her. If necessary, kill her and find another Japanese thieves.
Women serve as substitutes.”
"Withdraw all the troops from Ryukyu Island, return to Ryukyu Island, and replace them with sailors from the Three East China Sea Routes. These idiots are not acting material at all."
"Call Gao Fenghuang's group. We don't have enough generals. Everyone must learn Ying dialect. Everyone must know all the information about Amaterasu, and they can all act as magic sticks for me!"
Chu Qing rubbed his temples, feeling a little angry.
In the past, I thought about how to reduce battle losses.
Now, what I'm thinking about is how to increase battle damage.
There are so many Japanese thieves, it seems that in just two months, all the Japanese thieves have become the most devout believers of Amaterasu.
Now the battle situation has begun to show a one-sided state. The four armies are attacking the city and plundering the village with overwhelming force, and very few are resisting. This situation is not what the people of Chang want to see. They fight all the way and collect all the way.
Ninety-nine percent of the three hundred thousand people were Japanese thieves.
"Why."
With a long sigh, Chu Qing looked at Tao Weiran and a group of non-combatants, and smiled bitterly: "Even if we defeat the emperor, we still can't completely kill the Japanese thieves. Now we can only allow our Chang army to step on the land of Yingdao openly.
,How can Queen Qianfantian quickly destroy these two devils?"
Tao Weiran and Cuiyu looked at each other speechlessly, neither of them could come up with a good idea.
Now, those who lead troops to fight have obtained front-line magic sticks and lead the Japanese thieves to kill each other. Others have withdrawn to ensure supplies and transport materials. As the supply lines lengthen and the four-pronged army advances, logistics support
The staff can't keep up.
These are secondary, but the main issue that Chu Qing is most worried about is that if he defeats the Empress of Heaven in Kyoto, how can he kill the followers of Amaterasu?
If the four armies were added together, there would be at least a million people.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time and kill the emperor first."
Chu Qing has been thinking about it for several days, but still can't find a solution.
Liao Wenzhi frowned and said: "You are the commander-in-chief of the army, and the army is under the control of you, the commander-in-chief. Countless lives and deaths depend on your thoughts. How can you take one step at a time? This is not appropriate."
Chu Qing said angrily: "Then you can come up with a way for me to kill Amaterasu's followers. It won't hurt my back to talk while standing."
"This..." Liao Wenzhi blushed and looked a little shy: "Actually, I have another plan."
Chu Qing: "..."
Without saying a word, Chu Qing put the stool directly behind Liao Wenzhi's buttocks. Chu Qing had a flattering smile on his face: "Teacher Liao, please tell me."
"There is a plan, but it's just...some..."
"nausea?"
"No."
"The next step?"
"No."
"What on earth is it?"
Liao Wenzhi sighed, with a look of sorrow on his face: "Shameless, shameless, shameless, shameless!"
Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "Let's use this shameless strategy. I like shameless ones."
