It turns out that the strong are respected.
In front of the powerful combat power displayed by Dahua, the guardian daimyo of Kyushu did not have any unyielding thoughts.
When Matsuura Kiyohide rushed to Karatsu to ask for surrender, other daimyo such as Nobutaka of Ryuzoji Temple were not far behind, although they still had some scruples and did not go to Karatsu in person, but they all sent their own retainers to come.
Tang Jin, the prince is out of the line.
The envoys from all over Kyushu met and greeted each other, all of whom used to be on the same island.
The Wa Kingdom is an island country, which is relatively more closed.
The wealthy families on the islands basically rule for generations, although there are also changes in power, but they change from one to the other.
"Tell me, are you going to surrender Chikugo Country?"
"Don't you Hizen countries plan to surrender?"
"Each other, each other."
The people who came on behalf of the daimyo were all famous lords, but in fact, these people were also considered daimyos.
Although it is said that the Wa state has now promulgated the bantian system, before that, it was still the manor system.
The aristocracy and landlords occupied the land, which was ostensibly owned by the Wa court, but they only operated it as an agent, signed the letter of appointment of the Wa, and became a famous field.
The owner of the famous field is the famous owner, and there are small and big masters.
Lesser lords are small landowners and wealthy yeoman farmers.
The lords of the daimyo were nobles and local tycoons.
After the establishment of the Reiji Kingdom, the Emperor also conferred on the most powerful daimyo lord in the region as guardians.
Just as the guardian of Hizen Province is the daimyo lord Ryuzoji Nobutaka, but the daimyo of Hizen Province is not only Ryuzoji Nobutaka, Matsuura Kiyohide, in fact, it is also a daimyo lord, and the Ouchi clan and others are also Hizen daimyo lords, but they do not have guardian duties, so nominally Hizen Province is managed by the guardian of the daimyo Ryuzoji Nobutaka, instead of the imperial court.
But just as the Imperial Court of the Wa Kingdom was unable to effectively control these guardian daimyos, so were these guardian daimyo unable to effectively control their own domestic territories.
Under the countries, there are also various sub-counties, which are controlled by the big tycoons, and these daimyo only nominally obey the command, and take the lead in internal affairs, military, public security, etc., all have great independence.
Even the famous owners of these sub-counties do not completely control their own sub-county territory, and there are still many small wealthy families in their territory.
The entire Wa Kingdom was controlled by the emperor's imperial family, the imperial court, the ministers, and the guardian daimyo of the following countries, as well as the daimyo of the sub-prefectures, as well as the large and small local wealthy clans.
This is a rather loose relationship between superiors and subordinates, and it is even common for countries to fight often between counties, and between families.
It's just that sometimes, mutual compromise can maintain a balance.
The daimyo of various countries who came were not exactly here on behalf of the guardian daimyo, they also had their own interests, and when the Japanese court was unable to resist Dahua, they also began to find a way out for their family.
The best way out, of course, is sublimation.
A group of daimyo exchanged views with each other and discussed what conditions to propose to Dahua.
The most talked about is still envious of Matsuura Qingxiu, this old thief, who acted the fastest and took a big advantage.
Among all the daimyo in Kyushu, the territory of the Songqing family is not the largest, and the strength is not the strongest, but because he started early, he got excellent treatment.
A group of daimyos chatted very happily, and they all felt that even Matsuura Kiyohide could get a brigade commander, so which of them, the daimyos, and the guardian daimyo behind them, should not be treated better "What's above this brigade commander?"
asked the Daimyo.
"I heard that the division commander came, it seems that there is also a army commander, a group army commander, a marshal in the north and south, or something."
Said a daimyo of Higo Province.
"The brigade commander can command 5,000 troops, so how many troops can the division commander command?"
"It seems to be fifteen thousand or twenty thousand."
"So many," the daimyo exclaimed. 20,000 soldiers, the last time the entire Wa Kingdom more than 60 countries and wealthy clans sent troops together, only 100,000 horses were gathered.
On average, a country sends less than 2,000 troops, such as Hizen country, there are eleven sub-counties below, and one sub-county sends less than 200 troops.
Although the last time the troops sent out were not all the troops of each country and county, there were very few standing troops in the Japanese state, and they were all peasants, who were recruited in case of war.
Usually, each family is just a little guard.
According to the tradition of the Wa Kingdom, except for slaves, all strong men had the responsibility and obligation to become the targets of conscription.
Then these soldiers have to supply and feed themselves, which is somewhat similar to the government soldiers, but not exactly the same.
This was even more of a heavy military service, and these soldiers, who were mainly composed of peasants, were collectively called defense people in the Wa Kingdom.
The defense army was not a standing army, it was very irregular, it was a very heavy burden, and the peasants had to pay heavy taxes to exempt themselves from military service.
To fight a war, you have to conscript peasants, which will inevitably affect production, so many times, the wars of the Japanese people are small in scale and shorter in time, and it is also because of these reasons.
Twenty thousand soldiers, even for a guardian daimyo, is a number of soldiers they can't raise.

Even if the soldiers were able to bring their own supplies, the daimyo would have to bear a lot of burden.
Recruiting 20,000 soldiers will not only delay the production in the territory, but also drag them down.
"If this is an army, there will be 20,000 men and divisions, no 50,000 or 60,000 troops, no 100,000 group armies, and 100,000 people in the north and south."
"The Dahua Empire has a north and south yamen and a naval yamen, with a total of 600,000 soldiers and a standing army."
A Dahua officer came over with a smile and stood there and said to the daimyo who were making a fuss.
"Sixteen guards in the south, ten armies in the north, 20,000 in each army, and 80,000 in the navy.
The establishment of the Imperial Association Army is slightly different from the establishment of Dahua soldiers and horses, and now the Imperial Association Army has only one brigade number, with an establishment of 5,000 people, and has three regiments and nine battalions under its jurisdiction. ” Hearing that there was only one brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, these daimyos were surprised and a little disappointed.
I thought I could be a brigade commander, a division commander, or even a army commander or something.
"This general is" "Introduce yourself, under Liu Ren's rail."
"Liu Renliang fought against Tsushima in the naval battle of Liu Renliang, the Liu Renliang who annihilated my Yamato 50,000 fleet in World War I" "Poseidon Liu Renliang" A burst of exclamations rang out.
Liu Renliang's name is too loud.
Because of the Battle of Tsushima, the Japanese even gave Liu Renliang a god, and directly called him the god of the sea.
This title, Liu Renliang who shouted was a little embarrassed.
Although the Battle of Tsushima seems to have an impressive record, in the military circles, in fact, everyone does not take this naval battle very seriously, because whoever fights this battle can also achieve such results.
Eighteen battleships of the first and second ranks, whoever comes wins.
"Long looking, long looking" "It's so exciting to see the real Poseidon today."
A group of daimyo were as excited as they were when they saw an idol, and they gathered around him to ask this and that, and they almost stepped forward to ask for an autograph.
Liu Renliang originally thought that the daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom would look at him angrily after hearing his name, but who knows, they still worship him so much.
It's so cheap, it's so cheap, it's just cheap.
No wonder they all say that the Japanese have a tendency to be abused, and it is really like this, they beat them so badly, and they obeyed him one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Mou, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has come to meet with you and listen to your thoughts on protecting the daimyo of Kyushu."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't see me waiting?"
"That's right, I'll wait for thousands of miles to come from various countries, won't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see me waiting?"
Liu Renliang hehe.
The crown prince saw Matsuura Qingxiu before, but he bought horse bones for a thousand gold, not that horse bones can really be worth a thousand gold.
As far as they are concerned, they are just the daimyo of each county, and if they say it is good, they are the daimyos, but if they say it ugly, it is not just a county order.
The majestic prince, how can you see it if you want to?
If the Kyushu Guardian Daimyo comes together, maybe they will meet them together.
Now come to a few sub-county daimyos, so that the crown prince will not surrender himself to see them.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has official business, if you have anything to say, you can say it to so-and-so, and so-and-so can turn around and tell His Royal Highness the Prince."
A group of people still want to ramble.
Liu Renliang coughed and swept his gaze.
A knife-like gaze swept over, and a group of daimyo honestly shut up.
"One by one."
Yoshitaka Ouchi, the guardian envoy of Hizen Country, stepped forward, "A certain is Yoshitaka Ouchi, a retainer of Nobutaka, the guardian of Hizen Country, Ryuzoji Temple, and a daimyo of Takalai County.
On behalf of the head of the family, I came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dahua, and the head of my family is willing to join Dahua, but I hope to get the guarantee of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ” A military attache brought a chair for Liu Renliang.
He sat down and crossed his legs.
Asked lightly, "What guarantee?"
Yoshitaka Ouchi was stunned for a moment.
"It is to ensure that Dahua will not encroach on Hizen Country" "Stop."
Liu Renliang stretched out his hand and stopped Yoshitaka Ouchi.
"What do you call Ouchi?"
"Ouchi Yoshitaka, the daimyo of Takalai County of Hizen Province, my Ouchi clan used to be the guardian of Hizen Province" Liu Renliang interrupted him, "Okay, don't say so much, I'm not interested in hearing about the glorious history of your Ouchi clan, Ouchi Yoshitaka is it."
I think you have some misunderstanding, I Dahua is not here to visit this time, to put it bluntly, we are here to conquer. ” "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given you a one-month deadline to surrender.
We will not give you any guarantees of non-aggression or anything like that, if you belong to Dahua within a month, then you will belong to Dahua in the future, and as long as you pay the conquest tax, then you will be the people of Dahua in the future, and your private property will be protected by the laws of Dahua. ” "Do You Understand" Yoshitaka Ouchi was dumbfounded, what is the situation.

"However, Matsuura Kiyohide returned to Dahua and was not treated like this."
Liu Renliang smiled, "That's because Matsuura Qingxiu was the first to be attached, first, there must be some reward."
As for you, if you miss the first, even if you are the second, there will be no reward.
Do whatever you want, surrender and submit, pay the tax of conquest, and then hand over the military power and governing power, and that's it. ” Yoshitaka Ouchi stood there not knowing how to answer, and the other daimyo were all stunned on the spot.
No, it shouldn't be like this. t1706231537:
