Chapter 825 Japan’s Ambition

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Sakala looked at the information in his hand at a loss.

He couldn't believe what he saw, his grandfather was defeated.

"Nothing is impossible. This is the Han Dynasty. Its strength will always be beyond your imagination! What's more, this time our general is personally leading his army. Even if your grandfather has the power to reach heaven, it will be of no use."

Gan Ning said calmly, he had already guessed such a solution.

He was second, but his political awareness was very high. The moment he received the order, Gan Ning understood the meaning behind the order, so he set off with the pirates without hesitation.

To be honest, Gan Ning felt that those wise men like Jia Xu were really boring, and this kind of temptation was completely unnecessary.

What's the point of being a pirate king? He was tired of being a water bandit back then. Even if the river is replaced by the sea, it's the same now. There's no difference.

It's just a pirate king, what's the point? How can the position of Governor of the Pacific be so valuable?

So Gan Ning really doesn't care about the so-called power of the Pirate King.

"King, what are we going to do next!" Compared to Sakala's despair, a pirate leader boldly asked.

"Does this need to be said? Of course we are going to do what pirates are best at!" Another pirate leader said with a smile. "The Han Dynasty has cleared away the biggest obstacle, and the port of Japan is now our back garden.

Got it!"

Gan Ning nodded. The mission he accepted was to attack Japan's ports. Regardless of Cecilian's presence or not, this task would have to be done. Anyway, it was all to weaken Japan.

"Everyone goes out. This time is different from the previous small fights. We want to snatch back all the valuable things!" Gan Ning gave the final order.

In the past, in order to prevent Cecilian and his fleet from being overrun, they all acted in small groups and were always ready to run away to save their lives.

Now that Cecilian is gone, of course they can free up their hands and loot.

After patting Sakala on the shoulder, Gan Ning walked out directly. He had nothing to say. Cecilian was very strong, but facing the large army of the Han Dynasty, he could not make any big waves.

…

Amaterasu felt that the situation was now a bit beyond his control, so he learned from the pain and finally decided to give up all his micro-management and return the full power of the war to the people in the world.

The first one to bear the brunt was Oda Nobunaga. Amaterasu directly stripped the demonic shadow from Oda Nobunaga's body and directly shaped it into a nightmare war horse for Oda Nobunaga to ride on.

Oda Nobunaga's restoration of power was a bit dreamy. It obviously took several years of battles of wits and courage, but in the end, because of the overwhelming force of the Han Dynasty, he was able to regain his former power.

Now he is the worthy Emperor of Japan, and all daimyo must succumb to his power.

But Oda Nobunaga also knew that before he could achieve glory, he had to find a way to resist the attack from the Han Dynasty.

And before that, he needs to solve a lot of little troubles.

The first one to bear the brunt was the pirate problem along the coast, followed closely by the new avengers near Nagasaki, who were the descendants of the original emperor.

"Gentlemen, do you have any opinions to offer?"

Oda Nobunaga quickly summoned all the daimyo, and then put the issue at the meeting.

With Amaterasu's support but without Amaterasu's restraint, Oda Nobunaga showed an extremely domineering side, at least in terms of momentum, he completely controlled the meeting.

Hideyoshi Toyoro, known as one of Japan's Three Heroes of Victory, was sent to deal with Nagasaki's revenge army. He did not ask for victory, but only asked to delay it as much as possible.

Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu respectively led a group of troops to set up ambushes along the coast, intending to quell the pirate intrusion first.

It has to be said that Oda Nobunaga’s purpose was very clear: to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs.

Deal with the troublesome but not fatal pirates first, and then concentrate all your energy on dealing with the Han Dynasty.

They knew very well that if they wanted to negotiate peace with an empire like the Han Dynasty that was determined to destroy Japan, they had to resist the Han Dynasty's attack. At least they needed to let the Han Dynasty know that Japan was not an easy bone to chew on.

Only in this way can Japan have vitality, otherwise Japan, which has completely lost its control of the sea, will not be qualified to make peace with the Han Dynasty.

Even if it surrenders, I am afraid that it will only be a vassal of the Han Dynasty without any autonomy.

…

The so-called revenge army in Nagasaki was naturally the work of the Han Dynasty.

The Han army, which had just experienced a great war, also needed some time to correct itself, and in the process, Himiko and Uesugi Kenshinko became sharp daggers used to harm the Japanese mainland.

Together with the surrendered prisoners, Kennobuko Uesugi recruited an army of 30,000 people and began to conquer everywhere to expand Himihu's territory.

Due to Himihu's natural legal rationality, the subsequent management of the city built by Kenshinko Uesugi was very easy.

Especially with the help of the Han Dynasty, these cities directly abolished the temples of the three gods and eliminated the part of the money dedicated to the gods, and Himihu's support became even greater.

Like all common people, the people at the bottom of Japan are also exploited.

Putting aside ordinary exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, offerings to gods account for the bulk of income.

When the Han Dynasty helped them abolish this tax, their income became visibly richer, which was enough for these Japanese people to begin to use the rule of Himihu and the Han Dynasty.

It is customary to make offerings to gods, but when this custom is abolished, no one will be willing to have this tax added to their heads.

When it comes to offerings to God, God actually doesn’t care that much.

Then the negative impact of not making offerings is unacceptable to God.

After the abolition of worship, the belief in gods in the Nagasaki area became increasingly sparse. This involved the very foundation of these gods. They simply could not accept such a thing.

This incident made the Amaterasu three gods almost furious, but they had no good solution. They knew very well that the power at hand was not enough to fight against the Han Dynasty, so they could only be incompetent and furious, and then give Oda Nobunaga and others

Apply pressure.

Oda Nobunaga was also very angry. If you want to win, you should help me quickly.

At least you send out all the Susanoo priests. We can quickly deal with the bandits on the coast before we can fight against the unruly people in Nagasaki.

After Amaterasu was scolded by Oda Nobunaga, he suppressed his anger and sent all the priests out of the temple.

He knew very well that the only way to win now was through Oda Nobunaga and others. If there really was a falling out, everyone would be waiting to die.

The Han Dynasty wanted to see such a situation the most.
