"Establish four troops stationed in Japan. Then there will be an army stationed on each big island. We are not afraid that Japan will still stir up trouble!"
Song Yang was very excited when he talked about the idea of the four major Japanese troops stationed in Japan.
Gao Liangping, Yu Ming, Liu Huairen and others all understood that Song Yang was serious and really wanted to take the Japanese country as his own.
In Gao Liangping's perception, Japan was just a remote country.
It can even be said that it is no better than Liuqiu.
In previous years, the Japanese tribute envoys were eager to come two or three times a year.
Those things I brought...
It's simply too miserable to look at.
Tortoiseshell, coral and the like are still somewhat interesting, but the production of such high-quality items is very small, and even ordinary-looking ones are not popular.
Let’s talk about gains and losses.
Everyone has paid tribute, so it’s time to pay tribute to the higher country.
It’s hard for a big country to give too little.
So every time the Japanese came to pay tribute, Daqian would lose money.
The late emperor accidentally looked at the bill and cursed him angrily all afternoon.
The Ministry of Rites was also ordered to reduce the number of Japanese tributes from two or three times a year to two times every three years...
Although there are fewer official contacts, there are more and more private contacts.
A large number of Japanese people came to Daqian to do business and do odd jobs.
The official had to introduce strict restrictive measures again to reduce the number of Japanese people.
That's why the old master didn't quite understand what a poor place like that was for.
Song Yang smiled mysteriously and said: "Old Master. You see they are poor because they haven't found the treasure yet. When we take the Japanese country, you will know that the country is still very rich!"
The old master’s crooked mouth didn’t say anything, rich?
The Japanese pirates he saw were all poor, short and poor, who wished they could work for you for the rest of their lives just for a steamed bun...
Song Yang did not explain the matter of the silver mine, but just finalized the preparations for the establishment of four major Japanese expedition camps.
The first battalion, Tokyo Battalion, was commanded by the Third Battalion. It has now been built and has a strength of 10,000 people.
Matsushima Toda is in charge of the 2nd Battalion Nagasaki Battalion. The planning is complete and the formation will begin in the spring.
In Song Yang's idea, if he could directly bring the Songdao family in, he could also consider supporting the Songdao family to become Kyushu's agent.
With a famous agent as your agent, many things can be carried out more conveniently.
Such as assimilation education and so on.
The remaining Kochi Camp and Sapporo Camp are only plans for now and will be gradually established after suitable candidates are found.
Song Yang is determined to have his own way in this matter, and everyone can only firmly support it.
What's more, there's no harm in having more territory, right?
Song Yang wrote his thoughts in a letter and sent it to his seventh uncle, and asked Liu Huairen to issue a letter of appointment to Matsushima Toda, and at the same time invited him to come to Kaifeng to meet Song Yang.
Matsushima Toda never dreamed that happiness would come so suddenly.
As soon as I received the notice, I rushed to Kaifeng overnight.
I wish I could have more legs on my body, so I can quickly run to Kaifeng and kneel down to worship my thighs.
He clearly sees Sanri's current status.
To put it bluntly, his master, Matsushima Zufeng, had to kneel down to speak in front of Sanka.
Now that Song Yang has given him the position of commander of the Nagasaki camp, doesn't that mean that his status is the same as Sanri's?
With his hands trembling with excitement, Matsushima Toda ran from Qingzhou to Kaifeng for 1,100 miles.
This product actually arrived in three days.
When he saw Kaifeng City and dismounted from his horse, Matsushima Toda fell off his horse.
Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers saw him.
Otherwise, this guy will freeze to death directly outside the city.
Matsushima Toda is also a ruthless person.
Coming from Qingzhou, I was originally accompanied by four guards who knew the way.
As a result, this guy never stopped on the road.
I recorded a map myself and just hurried on.
I got rid of all four guards yesterday.
The four guards thought that Matsushima Toda had run away.
"My merciful and noble king! How should I repay you for your great kindness?"
Matsushima Toda's first sentence when he saw Song Yang was howled with all his strength.
It made Song Yang jump.
"What the hell are you! You're calling me stupid! You scared me!" Song Yang rolled his eyes at Matsushima Toda.
He was speaking Japanese. Matsushima Toda was immediately dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Song Yang actually understood Japanese.
This expression was even more shocked than Sanri at that time.
Matsushima Toda reacted and hurriedly knelt down and said:
"My noble King! Your talent is not something that a villain can guess at. I admire you as much as..."
"Stop! I didn't ask you to come here just to flatter you!"
Song Yang knocked on the table, interrupting Matsushima Toda's flattery.
"Hi! Your Majesty! What are your orders? This villain will definitely die without mercy!"
Matsushima Toda knelt straight, gathered his mind, bowed his head respectfully and said.
Only then did Song Yang take a look at Matsushima Toda.
This guy looks more human than Sanri...
Although he is also short and slender, he looks like a human being, and he is not as ugly as someone who competes with others every day.
As Song Yang, who has a certain sense of aesthetics, a person like Matsushima Toda would be better as a general than Sanri.
And I heard from Uncle Qi that Matsushima Toda is very attractive and a good seeded player.
That's why Song Yang asked him to come for an interview.
"Tell me about your master's situation, how many troops he has, how many weapons he has, how big his territory is, etc." Song Yang asked.
Matsushima Toda lowered his head slightly and said:
"Reporting to your Majesty, my master... the old master Songdao Zufeng is a daimyo from Kyushu Island in the Japanese country. His power is not very strong. He only has thirty warriors under his command. There are more than 2,700 Ronin warriors. They have relatively complete weapons and only three armors.
Forty percent. There are also some serf soldiers, about two to three thousand, with only wooden and bamboo spears and no armor."
Samurai are equivalent to generals and nobles with a certain status.
For a daimyo with a very small strength like the Matsushima family, it would be good to have thirty or fifty samurai.
Only the major forces on Honshu Island could have more than a hundred samurai.
After all, the annual salary of a samurai is about a hundred shi, and a small family cannot afford to support too many samurai.
The composition of the ronin is more complicated. Some are dilapidated warriors, some are thieves and bandits, and there are also serf tenants who have taken up swords. These people are roughly equivalent to ordinary soldiers and warriors, and are the main fighting group of each family.
As for the serf soldiers, they did not need to be paid, they were all forced to recruit soldiers by tenant farmers.
Serfs farmed the land for the daimyo and served as cannon fodder during battles. Such people were at the bottom of the pile in Japan.
"As for the territory...it's only around Nagasaki..."
Speaking of military strength, Matsushima Toda was very detailed, but he was a little embarrassed to talk about the territory.
The Matsushima family's territory is really too small.
Before the start of maritime trade, a remote place like Nagasaki was not a big city, but a remote area.
"So, your master's total military strength is only five or six thousand? Aren't the four or five thousand men you gathered in Daqian directly more powerful than your master?" Song Yang asked curiously.
"This... is indeed stronger than my master in terms of strength. As retainers, it is our duty to prepare soldiers for our lord. However, these soldiers have not yet had time to be sent back home." Matsushima Toda was a little disappointed. said.
"Haha!" Song Yang laughed.
Matsushima Toda was so excited that he had forgotten just now that he was already a prisoner, and all his troops had returned to the Tokyo Camp.
Now that I have a disappointed look on my face, that is my dissatisfaction with Da Gan.
"Dear King, little man..." Matsushima Toda apologized hurriedly and admitted his mistake.
Song Yang waved his hand and interrupted him: "You don't need to do this. Since I have appointed you as the commander of the Nagasaki camp, I won't care about what happened before."
"Hi! Your Majesty! You are really so kind and generous!" Matsushima Toda was moved.
My heart was once again impressed by the powerful, kind and kind Prince Daqian.
"Toda, do you want to go back to Japan?" Song Yang looked at Matsushima Toda with a smile and asked.
"No! I just want to serve the respected king!" Matsushima Toda said hurriedly.
"Oh? Don't be afraid. I am asking you sincerely. You see, I have established the Nagasaki Camp. Why is it called the Nagasaki Camp? Can it be called the Nagasaki Camp if it is not in Nagasaki?" Song Yang stepped forward and patted Song. Shimado said.
"What does the king mean?" Matsushima Toda did not dare to make random guesses for fear of offending Song Yang.
Song Yang smiled and said: "The Nagasaki Camp, naturally it has to be stationed in Nagasaki to be called the Nagasaki Camp. If you are asked to take the Nagasaki Camp back to Japan, would you be willing?"
"Little man... willing!"
Matsushima Toda finally understood that Song Yang was setting his sights on Japan!
But what can he do to say no?
As long as you say no, the leader of the Nagasaki camp will be replaced immediately!
Matsushima Toda could only happily agree to this.
"If you go back to Nagasaki, how will you get along with your master?" Song Yang asked again.
Matsushima Toda didn't dare to speak. He really didn't know how to answer.
After hesitating for a long while, he said carefully: "Eliminate...eliminate them?"
"No, no, no! It's not elimination, it's cooperation!" Song Yang sat back in his seat and looked at Matsushima Toda and emphasized.
"I need an agent from Kyushu Road. Songdao Zufeng is a good one!"
"In this way, you will be the commander of the Nagasaki camp, and he will be the governor of Kyushu Road. With one civil and military force, it will be much more convenient to govern the Kyushu Road?"
"Really? General Matsushima Toda!"
Song Yang looked at Matsushima Toda with a smile on his face.
Matsushima Toda's mind was running wildly as he tried to digest Song Yang's words.
Let him take the Nagasaki camp back to Kyushu, and let his old master Matsushima Zufeng be the governor of Kyushu.
Note, this is Kyushu Road, not Kyushu Island!
Matsushima Toda, who has lived in Dagan for more than three years and has been to Dagan before, fully understands what Tao means.
That is to merge Kyushu Island directly into Daqian!
This is dividing the Japanese country!
Then Matsushima Toda thought of Tokyo Camp. He didn't know where Tokyo was, but the meaning of Nagasaki Camp and Tokyo Camp must be the same.
It seems that King Daqian has a complete plan to invade Japan.
As a Japanese man, Matsushima Toda did not want to do anything to split or even destroy the Japanese country.
But... people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with hanging out with Da Gan. I've only been hanging out with Da Gan for a few days, and the food I eat on weekdays is better than what I ate at the family head's birthday banquet.
"What the prince said is true! I am willing to help the prince complete the achievements of Kyushu Road and the Japanese Kingdom!"
