Three years after the time came to Dongxing, Duoduo and Haoge had been in Japan for eight years.

Unlike in history, Duoduo was not infected with smallpox at this time and was still alive. However, he wanted to live well, but the Japanese were unwilling to - Shikoku Island was too close to Honshu, which was completely a concern.

Last year, Shikogawa Island spent the whole year in war. This time, one of the Tokugawa shogunate's relatives, separated from Shikogawa Island by a sea, the stone was as high as 550,000. Tokugawa Ieyasu's son Tokugawa Rai-hon, who was born in his old age, led the army and landed in the Apod family and fought with the Dodo troops. This time, Tokugawa Rai-hon was well prepared and could not help but bring sprite soldiers, musketeers, and a large number of samurai warriors who carried out pig storms, and even brought all the war horses across the country.

More importantly, when the shogunate faced pressure from the strong Daxia and its territory was divided by the Daxia and the Qing Dynasty, they learned from their mistakes and partly abandoned the discrimination against Western barbarians in the Tokugawa Ieki era. Although they were still not allowed to preach to prevent the Amakura Ichiro incident from reappearing, the policy of the Spanish and Portuguese coming to trade was increased after the Dutch.

Of course, they still had deep hostility towards these Western barbarians, but they had to do it under strong pressure.

Since Japan was the largest silver mineral in the Americas at this time, these Western barbarians were naturally eager to come to Japan to trade. Southeast Asia's spices, Chinese raw silk, and Japanese silver were still triangular trades that they had tried and tested. For them, they could make a fortune by making money. Among them, they could enter cannons and muskets at the request of the shogunate.

This time, in order to completely defeat the Dodo tribe entrenched on Shikoku Island, the shogunate asked the Portuguese to send gunships to participate in the war on the condition of adding five red seal ships. This move worked very well. Because the castle of the Apo family was close to the sea and under the double blow of the enemy on land on the sea, the Apo family quickly fell.

After gaining a foothold on Shikoku Island, Tokugawa Rai-hin was able to transport troops from Honshu continuously.

The two sides had a year of war on Shikoku Island. By the autumn of the third year of Dongxing, Dodo's troops had completely lost the four feudals of Awaji, Sanuki, Apo, and Iyu, and only the Tosa family, which was next to the sea to the south.

The original 20,000 troops under Duoduo were only about 10,000 left.

Tokugawa Rai-hon was determined to completely eliminate the Dodo tribe. At his strong request, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal sent many ships to block the coastline of the Tosa family. With the blessing of these Western barbarian ships, they also defeated the Haugkong Youde Navy who came to assist Dodo.

Of course, there is something wrong with this.

After Haoge occupied the entire Kyushu Island, he had an almost complete Zhenglan Banner, most of the complete Zhenghong Banners, and many Han military banners, which had a total of 30,000 elite troops. In addition, the eight Korean Banners in the North Korean organization had a total force of 50,000.

After occupying Kyushu, they organized the Eight Banners on the spot. At present, they had a total force of up to 70,000, and even 20,000 elite cavalry. In addition, Haoge, Daishan, his father and son, Ma Guozhu, Kong Youde, Jin Li and others are all good at fighting. It is undoubtedly more difficult for the shogunate to recover Kyushu than to ascend to the sky.

For the mainland forces, the difficulty lies in climbing onto the Japanese archipelago? Once you go up, their combat power is not comparable to that of the current shogunate. Although they called the lively battle in the Warring States Period, when they encountered the Qing soldiers who fled here due to occasional factors, they were still no match for them? You know, this was the early stage of the Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners' combat power was very strong, let alone the Eight Banners' soldiers who were secretly "slept on firewood and tasted gall".

But for Haoge, both Dorgon, who was the Zhengbai Banner and Duoduo, who were inlaid with the white Banner, were not very good at dealing with Huang Taiji, and naturally they were not very good at dealing with Haoge. When Haoge had just gained a foothold in Jiuzhou, it would be better to have Duoduo restrained one side. However, Haoge is now strong and strong, and there are a large number of Japanese serfs who cultivate rice and have no shortage of food and clothing. Naturally, he remembers Dorgon, and the Duoduo brothers are all kinds of difficult things.

Therefore, the fleet sent by Haoge only evacuated after a little contact with the Western Yi ships. It was not because the Western Yi Garen ships were powerful, but Kong Youde and his friends accepted a large number of second-hand ships retreated by the Hanhai army, and the turtle ships and slab boats collected in North Korea, and they also had the power to fight with the Western Yi.

"Let Duoduo die!"

This is Haoge's true thought. Moreover, even if the Kong Youde Navy can defeat the Western Yi, it is a question whether he can successfully support the Duoduo tribe in the future. In this world, only the Daxia Kingdom has the real amphibious combat force.

"Let Duoduo die"

This was the order from Jingyun Yanagawa from Beijing, because at this time, Beijing had already known that under the efforts of Ma Guozhu, Kong Youde, Daishan and others, Kyushu Island had become an unbreakable basic base for Haoge. In addition, Kyushu Island also has nearly two million dens, which is also a good foundation.

Nikan made Haoge and others escape to Kyushu Island to gain a foothold because he wanted to use them to restrain the shogunate rather than to make them bigger.

However, things are unpredictable. Ma Guozhu and Daishan are rare talents among the Han and Manchus, and Kong Youde, Wakda, Ibai and others. A few years later, they actually managed Kyushu Island in an orderly manner and showed a prosperous situation.

Of course, this strength is not enough compared to the Great Xia Kingdom. It is much worse than the Honshu Island controlled by the shogunate on one side. At this time, Honshu Island had at least eight million Dingkou and hundreds of thousands of samurai. If it were fully mobilized, it was not something that Haoge could easily resist.

However, since the Oxia Kingdom had already taken over Hokkaido to the north, after many years of operation, it also formed a stable force there. To the west, after taking over Goji Island, Iki Island, and Tsushima Island, they even wrapped the Japanese archipelago, including Kyushu Island, together with Hokkaido.

After taking over Goshima, Iki Island, and Tsushima, Oxia Kingdom simply incorporated it into the Jeju Special Prefecture and established a new Four Islands Province, but the provincial government changed to Ukushima, which is in the middle. Of course, on the surface, Goshima, including Ukushima, is still a vassal of the shogunate, and Yanagawa Shizumo is also an exterior daimyo under the general of the shogunate.

Since helping the remaining Qing dynasties gained a foothold in Japan, the Daxia Kingdom has no longer provided assistance to them. With the money they plundered in North Korea and the Dingkou, if they still cannot gain a foothold, it would be better for the Daxia Kingdom to do it by itself.

"Who is stronger than the Japanese samurai soldiers who are still powerful at this time?"

In fact, this is just based on the evil tastes of the time traveler Nikan himself, and the cooperation of Fan Wencheng and others. Otherwise, with the strategic vision of Haoge and others, it would be a ghost to think of hiding in Japan.

Yanagawa Shizuo took a month to arrive at Ukushima, which was also done on purpose according to the arrangements of the shogunate, because if you were too fast, you would not spend too much money on land. According to the shogunate regulations, any external daimyo that goes to Beijing, regardless of whether you travel back and forth, you must get the signature and seal of the castle lord when passing through each city. Therefore, you must stay there.

It makes you have no money to accumulate wealth and then you are unable to secretly accumulate strength to resist the shogunate. This is the perfect magic weapon for the three generations of Tokugawa Ieyasu to deal with Waizumi Daming. In addition, the shogun often builds roads, castles, cities and gardens. Waizumi Daming has to offer silver, materials and manpower. Even if you have secretly saved, you won't leave much.

After arriving at Xiaguan, the Kingdom of Daxia has several berths there, and after boarding a boat, you can set out to Ujiu Island.

Just on the sea where he had just set out, Yanagawa Shizuo received news from Beijing - as an ex-subject daimyo, if the Oxia Kingdom contacted Yanagawa Shizuo in the public, even if the shogunate did not care, the lord of the Choshu vassal who guarded Shizuo, Mori Tsuna Hiroshi, would not agree - Mori Tsuna Hiroshi, who was the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Therefore, Yanagawa Shizuo learned from this time that he was traveling on the Swift between Shishishima Province and Hokkaido on the north side of Honshu Island.

According to the news about Duoduo, as the chief executive of the gray-clothed guards of North Korea, four islands and three places in Japan, Yanagawa Shizuyun naturally knew that he had the ability to rescue Duoduo. Although it was impossible to rescue Duoduo's subordinates, it was still possible to rescue Duoduo, Turg brothers, Zukefa brothers and Sony. The coastline of Shikoku Island is more than a thousand miles long, and with the current maritime strength of the Daxia Kingdom, it is still possible to rescue Duoduo, Turg brothers, Zukefa brothers and Sony.

But Nikan still ordered Duoduo to be ignored.

"Your Majesty is going to attack Japan?"

Standing at the bow of the boat and facing the first north wind, Yanagawa Jingyun suddenly thought.

One day later, the fleet arrived on Iki Island.

At present, the four island provinces belonging to the Daxia Kingdom have a legion dominated by infantry, that is, three infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, the only cavalry brigade is naturally arranged on Jeju Island. In addition, Jeju Island has an infantry brigade, and the remaining three islands have only two infantry brigades, seven thousand people. Because the five islands are large, there are actually only one thousand five hundred people on each Tsushima and Iki Island, and the five islands retain a complete infantry brigade.

One thousand five hundred people, with the current strength of the Han Hai Army and the strength at sea, are enough to protect them.

This is the case with Iki Island now.

The establishment of a county is 3,000 households, including Japan, North Korea and Han people. Because the island is full of mountains, it can only be mainly dry land, and a lot of wheat and potatoes are planted.

What remains are the practitioners who make a living with trade, warehousing, fishing and transportation centered on Port Iki.

It was dusk when Yanagawa Shizuo and others arrived. The six-mile radius of Iki Castle was towering in the sunset, and a large number of ships were also rushing to the port.

At the port, a brand new Swift with a steam engine seemed to have just arrived.

Yanagawa Jingyun's eyebrows tightened.

“News are coming again”

But he thought too much. The Swift was just a training ship of the Hanhai Navy, which came from Chongming Island and headed to Vladivostok for long-distance training. The ship was equipped with a new steam engine with improved efficacy. It was said that it was a steam engine with the best performance under the current conditions. If you want to further improve your efficiency in the future, you have to work hard on materials, sealing, and even internal combustion engines, which needless to say is impossible.
