Chapter 320 Landing in Shimonoseki (Part 2)

Although Maori Hirotaka and his retainers did not understand why Shang Yi took a fancy to Linhai Pavilion and wanted to live here, even though the Chinese emperor spoke, of course he could only do so. Therefore, Maori Hirotaka immediately ordered the people in Linhai Pavilion to move out immediately and make a place for Shang Yi. At the same time, he ordered people to bring all the equipment prepared for Shang Yi and the service personnel to the Linhai Pavilion. Andrei also led a regiment of the guards to go ashore first, stationed around Linhai Pavilion, and arranged police whistles and other matters.

Just when the Japanese went to clean up the Linhai Pavilion, Shang Yi also held a military meeting on the ship to discuss the battle plan for Honshu Island. In addition to the generals of the Chinese army, there were also Maori Hirotsuka, Makita Motoki, Akito Akito, and Bijin who fought on the land of Japan, and Japanese ginseng was indispensable.

Everyone sat in front of the long conference table and laid a map of Japan on the table. Shang Yi then said: "Now the shogunate army is stationed there, how are the troops?"

Yida Motoki hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor, the shogunate army has basically withdrawn from China and is stationed in Osaka Castle. It has a force of about 30,000. The main general is Sakai Kiyosaki. Sakai Tadashi has returned to Edo to recruit various genealogy, relatives and vassals, and gather troops."

Shang Yi nodded. He knew that the Chinese region mentioned by Motohiro Yada was a geographical concept noun in Japan. In the era of the Naraja, Japan named the country as the center of the capital Kyoto and based on its distance, it was named as "near country", "China" and "far country". "China" actually means "central region", which is roughly similar to the concepts of Central China and North China in China.

Although the local administration in Japan is no longer divided in this way, this term has been used. Of course, China also refers to Tottori, Shimae, Okayama, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi and other areas in the southwest of Honshu Island. Sakai Kiyokatsu and Sakai Tadaotsuki sound like two brothers, but in fact they are not one at all, and at most they can only be considered the same clan.

At this time, Zenjin said: "Your Majesty, although we are now landing in Honshu, the terrain is evasive and there is not much room for maneuver. At this time, the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate was still gathering. The guards of Osaka Castle are empty. Osaka is an important Japanese town and is located in the center of Honshu outside the territory. If you capture Osaka and cooperate with the Southern Army to capture the Shiguo, then the entire place west of Japan will be in our control. Therefore, I suggest sending troops immediately to attack Osaka."

Shang Yi nodded, Cheng Jin's suggestion was exactly what he meant, because after Shang Yi's escort army arrived in this state, the Chinese army's troops in this state had reached three divisions and two brigades, with more than 45,000 people. This was not considered the Marine Corps, so they were still trapped in the southwest corner of the state, and their troops were indeed unable to be exerted.

Osaka is one of the most important cities in Japan and one of the strong cities of Japan in this era. It is located in the middle of Honshu, on the east coast of the Rado Inland Sea, Japan's traditional border between Kanto and Kansai. At that time, Toyotomi Kaoru's father Toyotomi Hidera used Osaka as the base to confront Tokugawa Ieyasu. Therefore, once the Chinese army captured Osaka, not only was the entire Kansai region under the control of the Chinese army. In this way, there was much room for maneuver and it also had great political symbolism.
