Cao Bianjiao first arrived at Jeju Island, cleaned up the fleet, confirmed the new organization and temporary battle plan, and three days later, set off for Kagoshima, where the Satsuma domain was located.
The territory of the Satsuma Domain is not small, and Kagoshima is also a peninsula in the middle of the lake, so boats can directly enter it.
Huashan has been guarding for a long time, Zuo Liangyu has already received the letter, and he has been waiting for a long time.
"See General Cao for the next officer."
Zuo Liangyu and Huashan Jiushou are now Cao Bianjiao's subordinates, and the two knelt on one knee when they met.
Cao Bianjiao only brought a hundred guards, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, his eyes were calm, and said, "No need to be polite, the army can be assembled?"
Ben is going to inspect the roster. ” Zuo Liangyu was ambitious in Yunnan and kept making small moves, and was later forced to enter Beijing, and then was sent here for nearly a year.
Zuo Liangyu's resume is quite thick, and he is also from Liaodong, although he has nothing to do with Cao Wenzhao, he can be regarded as the so-called 'Liaodong Department' general.
Zuo Liangyu got up, the sharp edges and corners were neither sad nor joyful, and his eyes flashed: "Yes, the last general is ready, please come with me." ” Cao Bianjiao glanced at him and walked in the front.
The guards behind him followed, intentionally or unintentionally separating Zuo Liangyu, Birch Mountain Jiushou and others.
No one is a fool, Cao Bianjiao did this, everyone's hearts jumped, especially Huashan Jiushou, and his face was even slightly pale.
These people in the Satsuma Domain are traitors who have descended to the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming people do not tolerate it, they don't need to be done by the Ming people, and the shogunate will tear them apart!
The people of the Satsuma clan such as Kayama Jiushou were terrified, and they couldn't wait to express their attitude to Cao Bianjiao now, and their eagerness was overflowing.
Zuo Liangyu was much calmer, expressionless from beginning to end, neither enthusiastic nor cold, and occasionally talked to Cao Bianjiao about something.
"When I came here a year ago, the emperor gave me 3,000 men, plus the Satsuma clan and all kinds of recruitment, and now Kagoshima has an army of 13,000 men, which have undergone rigorous training, and are already worthy of a war, much stronger than the rabble of the Wakoku......
"Firearms are still in our hands at present, and the Ministry of War has given me 1,000 people, 30 cannons, and some arrows and other firearms, but they are somewhat overused in this island country, and I have sealed them......"
"This time the battlefield is at sea, I have gathered the army, and closely monitor the northern vassals, especially the two countries of Hizen and Fat, as soon as there is a situation, immediately fly pigeons to report ......"
"The situation on the island of Kyukoku is quite complicated, most of them are the so-called daimyo of the outer provinces, and the Tokugawa shogunate has always been at odds with each other, and this time the Tokugawa shogunate made such a big move, but also intended to weaken the power of the nine countries.
Among the nine major feudal states, the various forces are also intertwined and complex, checking and balancing each other, protecting each other alternately, and it is difficult to hide it in a word......"
Cao Bianjiao listened quietly, only nodded occasionally, and did not answer.
Zuo Liangyu glanced at Cao Bianjiao's attitude, his eyes were slightly cold, in his opinion, Cao Bianjiao was just a junior, relying on the emperor's favor, otherwise, what qualifications would he have in front of them!
But his tone did not change, he still talked to Cao Bianjiao, and then came to the school martial arts field.
"See the general!"
As soon as Cao Bianjiao came to the high platform, more than 10,000 people knelt on one knee and shouted in awkward Chinese.
Uniform, without the slightest disorder, tightly fitted, just like machinery, the sound is rolling, like thunder echoing, making the flag sassy and turbulent.
Cao Bianjiao's eyes changed slightly, as far as he knew, these warriors of the Wa Kingdom were all stragglers, seemingly fierce, but in fact they were a rabble, but now looking at this situation, it is not like it at all, but it is more disciplined than the army of the Ming Dynasty.
"General, roster."
Birshan, who approached cautiously for a long time, handed over a thick booklet.
Cao Bianjiao looked at the man who was still kneeling on the ground, motionless, like an iron-plastic soldier, and was secretly shocked.
Cao Bianjiao looked at Zuo Liangyu and the others again, and flipped through the roster with an impassive face, these rosters are all Han names, and there are only five surnames: Zheng, Xu, Wei, Zhao, Lu, with filial piety, loyalty, righteousness and honesty as the generation, with five line characters, and some will be matched with guards or soldiers, In addition, there is another surname, which is particularly obvious, is - Ming!
This surname, Cao Bianjiao knows, is specially rewarded by the Qianqing Palace, and there is only one person!
Cao Bianjiao didn't know what feats this person had made, and he didn't know who it was, so he paid attention to it and continued to watch.
He continued to look down, and the names were very planned, concise and clear, and there were more than 10,000 people.
After reading it, Cao Bianjiao looked satisfied and said, "You have done a very good job, I will play the emperor and praise you for your merits." ” Zuo Liangyu and Huashan Jiushou immediately stepped out of the ranks, hugged their fists and said, "General Xie!"
” Cao Bianjiao didn't pay a false respect, his eyes looked at the more than 10,000 soldiers who were kneeling and didn't move, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he said: "That's all for today, let's disperse, and we'll talk again tomorrow." ” Zuo Liangyu looked at Cao Bianjiao's face that had never seen his emotions, his heart sank slightly, and he didn't say much.
Huashan kept it for a long time, but he wanted to speak and stopped, and watched Cao Bianjiao leave.
Cao Bianjiao went directly to the station arranged for him, and as soon as he entered the door, the five guards closed the door.
One of the guards took off the hat on his head, looked at Cao Bianjiao, and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, this Kagoshima is more terrifying than we expected!"
” Cao Bianjiao sat on the chair and nodded expressionlessly: "It is not an ordinary means to train an undisciplined warrior like this in less than a year.
Lord He, what news is there, what kind of master do they have?
” This person is He Xilian, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, he stood in front of Cao Bianjiao, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, Zuo Liangyu, we have arranged more than one person by Huashan's side for a long time, no matter how hidden it is, it can't hide it from me, it's just ......
We are a little careless in this army, and we have no specific information. ” Cao Bianjiao frowned, and said: "When I was in the capital, it was rumored that Zuo Liangyu was unpredictable, and he was impeached, and now he was sent to Kagoshima, far away from the government and the opposition, and there was no restriction......
He Xilian was silent for a while, and said: "The heart of the disobedience is not necessarily, this country is not something that Zuo Liangyu can manipulate, not to mention, my Ming country is strong, the army is flourishing, Zuo Liangyu understands it very deeply, and the lower officials think that it is still necessary to find someone to find out clearly." ” "Looking for someone, looking for whom?"
Cao Bianjiao looked at He Xilian.
"Birch Mountain has been guarded for a long time."

Hossie Lian Road.
Cao Bianjiao remembered the hesitation of Huashan Jiushou, and said, "Okay, send someone to recruit him, by the way, he wants a secret!"
” "Yes!"
He Xilian immediately arranged for someone to go.
At this time, Birshan, who was scared to death, walked around the house, his eyes anxious and flustered.
If the angel had thought of him otherwise, he would have no other way but to die!
At this time, as soon as Cao Bianjiao's people arrived, his scalp was numb and he was frightened, but he didn't dare not go, wearing a military uniform, and he didn't dare to bring the slightest weapon, and came to Cao Bianjiao's room.
"Hua Shan Jiu see the general!"
As soon as Huashan Jiushou entered the door, he said in Chinese.
Cao Bianjiao's face was expressionless, and he said, "The surname is Hua?"
Is this the name you changed?
” Huashan Jiushou, who was renamed Huashan Jiu, knelt on the ground, his head was in a fine cold sweat, and said, "Yes, the emperor is gracious, and the ministers are allowed to establish their own surname." ” The name of the Wa Kingdom is not something that ordinary people can have, it is the exclusive property of the nobility, and it is a supreme honor to have a name.
He Xilian looked at him from the side, and after a while, he quietly glanced at Cao Bianjiao.
Cao Bianjiao understood, his eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Hua Shanjiu coldly, and said coldly, "I heard that you have done a lot of disobedient things in the Satsuma Domain?"
” Hua Shanjiu's face changed greatly, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said urgently: "General Mingjian, the villain has never dared to be like this, he is loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, and he will never dare to have the slightest second heart!"
” Cao Bianjiao's eyes were cold, and his tone was murderous, and he said: "Then why are there some things, if you don't know about it in person?"
” Hua Shanjiu's face was more cold sweat, his body was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "General Hui, although the villain is the lord of the Satsuma domain, he has to listen to the angels in everything, Lord Zuo can't say it, and the villain can't ......."
Kagoshima does have a lot of things to hide from the imperial court, these things are not allowed to be 'etiquette', some of the behaviors of the generals in the foreign country are actually acquiesced by Zhu Xu, although Zuo Liangyu is more out of line, but it is not enough for Zhu Xu to care more about it.
Cao Bianjiao didn't take Zuo Liangyu to heart at all, he was even more curious about how the more than 10,000 people in the Satsuma Domain were trained, which was a hidden danger.
"Ben will ask you, how did you train this army, but do you have someone to guide you?"
Cao Bianjiao said.
Hua Shanjiu knelt on the ground and said: "These are all trained by Lord Zuo, he said that it is to imitate a person called Mao Dun in ancient times, when training, it is uniform, if there is a disobedience, immediately pull out and cut it in public, originally we have more than 20,000 people......"
The corners of Cao Bianjiao's eyes jumped unconsciously, and He Xilian's heart was even more shocked, and he turned his head to look at Cao Bianjiao in surprise.
