Five hundred and ninetieth chapters for the status
Shimazu Takao used his own speculation and fear in the hearts of everyone, plus his eloquence, and finally convinced all the retainers of the Shimazu family, as well as the samurai who surrendered by Ryuzoji. And everyone was willing to go with him. As a young man, Shimazu Takao could still leave as he said.
"Since everyone agrees, then thank you for your hard work. We should not take unnecessary things. We will leave here tonight to avoid the night of dreams. Please ask everyone here for the noble man."
Shimazu Takao's will was recognized and followed by everyone, and he was actually secretly happy. Although he was sad on the surface, he was actually grateful for the death of his father Shimazu Kutaki, because his father's death saved his position as a vassal. And most of these subordinates were scared out of fear in this terrifying demon attack.
But if you are scared, you are also subordinates. If someone has a way out and territory, you won’t have to worry about rising again. This is Shimazu Takao’s trust in him, and it is also a disguised sense of responsibility.
That night, the samurai and the samurai of the Shimazu family, as well as the original Ryuzaoji people, drove away all the people in the territory. Nearly 20,000 people were all squeezed on this small sampan. The only large ships were all distributed to the samurai Naga and Daime who surrendered from the Shimazu family and Ryuzaoji.
There are constant storms at night, and it is difficult to get through the strait from Ryuzo Temple to Amami Oshima by relying solely on a small sampan. And Amami Oshima is not the end of this trip. The end is Ryukyu Island, west of Amami Oshima.
That's because Takao Shimazu thought that the ninja he sent, that is, the pair of geisha, Akako and the others, was still on Ryukyu Island. It's hard to imagine how a dozen people would sit on a small sampan of less than 6 square meters. Even if the Japanese were short and riding so many people, and there were such big storms, it would be a miracle to not turn over.
In order to avoid being chased by the enemy soldiers of the "Fujiwara family", especially those that can fly in the sky. So he did not mean to stay on Amami Oshima.
The people could only hold anything on the sampan with fear and tightness, so that they would not fall into the sea.
After wandering on the sea for four days, nearly 20,000 people followed Shimazu Kiyo and others to Ryukyu Island. The people who came down, including those light-footed and low-level samurai, were all dry mouths, deep eyes, and exhausted. Many people were even malnourished and weak, and finally fell tragically on the beach. They could never stand up.
After they got ashore, the people were crying and wailing, whether they were excited or feeling the tragedy, and they were still surrounded by the shouts of low-level warriors who were also weak.
"Baga! Why are you crying? Should you stay there and be eaten by the monsters from the Fujiwara family? The soul is sucked away and floating in the sky? Baga! This is your home!"
The place where they landed was in the Beishan area of Ryukyu Island, which was the northern part of Ryukyu Island. At the same time, there were also a large number of Han people, that is, early Fuzhou immigrants.
While they landed, they were also discovered by the hard-working Han people, and these Han people also spread the news to Shuri City.
Boss Bai, who was sleeping soundly in Shuri City, was also shocked. What happened on Kitakyushu Island had not yet reached him. But he was sure that these people were definitely not arranged by Boss Han.
After sitting at the table for a while, he slowly drank a cup of warm tea. Boss Bai slapped the table and said loudly.
"Gather all the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force, organize the young and strong people in the local and the people, open the armory that provides weapons to the front line, and distribute weapons to the young and strong people. Let my personal soldiers gather everyone to investigate Beishan City, keep the news open at all times, and immediately repay me when they find the whereabouts of suspicious people."
After saying that, Boss Bai picked up the teacup, held it in both hands, and paced back and forth in the room.
After thinking for a while, he shouted again, calling another guard at the door and said
"You go and arrange for the Yi soldiers to immediately notify the guards of Beili City to let them arm themselves and stay alert at all times. If the enemy is on their direction, it is very likely to attack them."
Boss Bai was already a little panicked. The news was originally reported by people from Beili City, but this is not a mistake. Be careful not to be serious.
At the same time, Shunzi, Shi Xianggu, Niu Sanpao and others have surrounded Ryuzao Temple from all directions of sea and land.
At this time, all the territory of Feiqian had been completely occupied by more than 5,000 expeditionary soldiers led by Shunzi.
However, in these four days, Shunzi and the others found only a dozen people, and some of them told them that it was Shimazu family and Ryuzazuoji people who captured the others, and they didn't know where they went. It was not until Shunzi and the others occupied Ryuzazuoji, that is, at this time, that is, a fisherman was brought to Shunzi.
After passing a translation by Fujiwara Raiji's subordinates, Shunko realized that the Shimazu family had already driven to the west with tens of thousands of people.
Just when Shunzi told Shi Xiangu in front of the sea outside Ryuzao Temple, before Niu Sanpao could react, Shi Xiangu shouted.
"No! They are going to Ryukyu Island! There are only a thousand defenders there. Lord Bai himself can't resist it, and there are many supplies and once they are stolen by the Shimazu family, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After Shi Xianggu left behind several transport ships, she sent a messenger to bring her guesses to Shunzi, and led the first fleet to sail towards Ryukyu Island.
Shi Xianggu ordered all ships to move forward at full speed. The wheel set in the cabin was pushing the roulette with more than a dozen men with shirtless hands. If they were slower, they would be hit on their backs by the push rod behind them.
Because it was the middle of winter, the north wind blowing from mainland China and the direction of the Shixianggu First Fleet was exactly opposite. Therefore, there was no wind to borrow, so it could only be pushed by manpower and moved against the wind.
However, the large ship driven by artificial propellers designed by Han Zhenhan has excellent performance, making the ship speed no slower than when it was in a downwind. Even so, it still takes three days to reach more than 300 nautical miles.
This requires Boss Bai to last at least three days. Shunzi, who received the news from Shi Xianggu, also considered the seriousness of the situation immediately. Then he boarded the ship and led the crowd to follow Shi Xianggu, which was only more than an hour slowing down. Before leaving, Shunzi also stayed to send troops to pass on his whereabouts and intentions to Han Zhenhan, the commander of the Expeditionary Force.
At this time, Han Zhenhan also faced his new enemy, Otoshi Nao. At this time, Otoshi Naoshi had already prepared the arrival of the "Fujiwara Family" enemy soldiers.
Because the Shimazu family had told Otomo Nona and Kamakura Mufu that the Fujiwara family had risen again and began to invade Kyushu Island. Hojo Shiraki, the actual controller of Kamakura Mufu, also issued an order, requiring all the daimyos of Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island to support Otomo Nona. Stop the Fujiwara family's invasion, and the shogunate army would arrive later.
In the end, Ototo Naoshi, who originally thought that reinforcements would not come, actually welcomed reinforcements from two forces in the four countries, with a total of nearly a thousand people. In addition, there were more than 3,000 wild samurai and ronin volunteered to reach the territory of Chimaki Country in various places. The corresponding Chimaki Country, that is, in the south of Chimaki Country, had been occupied by Han Zhenhan at this moment.
Ototoshi gained unprecedented combat power and gave him full confidence in defeating the Fujiwara family. However, this is true. The war between the nobles in the Heian era in the early years was only a battle between three or two thousand people.
Even the Shimazu family, which defeated Otomo, had only more than 5,000 troops shortly before. That was because the distance between the two countries was extremely close, and the Shimazu family could keep up with the food supply. And Shimazu Kutaki did not expect the war to last for so long. He also took advantage of his own life and the territory he worked hard to manage.
At this time, Otomo could only gain a real combat power of six or seven thousand people. Except for some young samurai and light feet sent by several families, the others were wild samurai and ronin who brought their own dry food to come from all over the country. What are wild samurai? In fact, they can be said to be hooligans or rogues, while ronin is actually a complete rogue and rogues. The difference is that wild samurai still has some real skills to read and read. While ronin is a person who knows him, but he doesn't know how to read.
Why did these people come here? The reason is very simple. Because samurai was a rarer identity that was difficult to obtain during the Kamakura Shogunate period and became a class of rulers at the bottom of society. If you want to become a recognized samurai, own land and the rights of local samurai, you have long said in the previous article that either the martyr's recognition or the offerings of daimyos, becoming a social animal.
What is Hojo Tora or the shogun government? Prince Sozun is the largest martial family at present. The title of General Seiyi has never been in vain. On the night when the Hojo family received the Fujiwara family's strong appearance again, everyone discussed the most effective way to gather strength to evaluate this rebellion.
Then there are a large number of samurai recruits, and where do these samurai come from? Of course, they are the folk ronin, wild samurai, and people who want to become samurai. Prince Sozun, as the general of the Conquest, issued a solicitation order. Any samurai who supports Ototo Nao Nao, or ronin, even the untouchables, who have obtained a total of ten slaughter in the battle against the rebels and obtained Ototo Nao Nao's document certification, can return to Kamakura and become a samurai in the shogunate!
What a huge attraction this is. I wonder how many people will be crazy because of such an edict.
This is true. The warriors who didn't even have dry food ran to Chimaeki Country on hunger just to be able to get a legal samurai status. They still have to obtain a large number of military achievements on the battlefield. However, in order to become a noble class, people who have been suppressed for a long time are willing to take a risk...
