This kind of military training method can be said to have exceeded the limit of cruelty, training the other half with half of his life!
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Cao Bianjiao could imagine the cruel picture, corpses, expressionless faces, almost walking corpse bodies.
Cao Bianjiao was stunned by Zuo Liangyu's method of training, and it took a while to come back to his senses and say, "What does Zuo Liangyu want to do?"
” Hua Shan Jiu said: "The villain doesn't know the specifics, but he has investigated all the terrain, forces and a considerable amount of intelligence on Kyukoku Island, and the villain guesses that he wants to use the Satsuma Domain to dominate Kyukoku Island." ” This is in line with the plan of the General Staff Office, and it is also one of the purposes for Zhu Xu to send him to the Satsuma Domain.
For Zuo Liangyu, Cao Bianjiao actually didn't have much to worry about, after all, no matter how much he tossed in the Wa Kingdom, he couldn't turn over the flowers, as long as he didn't disrupt Zhu Xu's plan.
After thinking for a while, he glanced at He Xilian, and Cao Bianjiao said, "Well, Ben will know."
In addition, Ben will give you another task, keep an eye on Zuo Liangyu for me, and report his every move to me, do you understand what I mean?
” Of course, Hua Shanjiu understood, and also understood that Cao Bianjiao didn't blame him, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Yes, the villain takes the order!"
” Cao Bianjiao stood up and said: "Do it well, Ben will reveal a message to you, if the shogunate is defeated this time, Jiuguo Island will belong to your Satsuma Domain, you are the lord of Satsuma Domain, the master of Jiuguo Island, Zuo Liangyu will transfer ......"
Hua Shanjiu was suddenly overjoyed, kowtowed again, and said: "General Xie was promoted, Hua Shanjiu will never forget!"
” Cao Bianjiao looked at Hua Shanjiu and turned to He Xilian.
He Xilian nodded, making a reassuring expression.
Next, Cao Bianjiao carefully inquired about the specific situation of the Satsuma Domain, involving people's livelihood, army, commerce, specialties and other aspects.
After listening, he waved away Hua Shanjiu, and Cao Bianjiao discussed with He Xilian secretly.
Kagoshima is the southernmost point of Kyukoku Island, far from Edo and outside the Shimabara Rebellion, making it a great place to sit and watch the wind and rain.
The Ming Dynasty had a joint land and sea base between Kagoshima and the Ryukyus, with 5,000 men stationed there, and was originally to protect the Ryukyus against the Japanese state.
Kagoshima, where the Satsuma Domain was located, did not have a large population, and the damage was not light, but with the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, there was no expropriation, and many peasants gathered through various means, and there was already a certain foundation.
If it can be isolated from the intervention of the opening government on Jiuguo Island, so that Jiuguo Island will continue to have internal friction, and the Satsuma Domain will annex Jiuguo Island with the support of the Ming Dynasty, it is a matter of time.
The two discussed for a while, and He Xilian said, "My lord, the situation in this Wa Kingdom is better than we expected, and it is beneficial to us, now wait for Matsudaira Nobutsuna to arrive, let's encroach on Kyukoku Island step by step, and take Ezo in the north, and put pressure on the Ashikatokugawa shogunate!"
” Cao Bianjiao looked at the map of the Wa Kingdom and said, "There is no problem with strategy and tactics, I was thinking about the possible reaction of the Tokugawa Shogunate?"
” He Xilian pondered for a while, and said: "Ezo is close to the national island, which is considered the rear of Edo, and it is a strategic location, it stands to reason that if the Tokugawa shogunate counterattacks, it should attack Ezo first, but Ezo is not as important to the Tokugawa shogunate as Kyukoku Island, because Ezo can be destroyed with a backhand, but it is Kyukoku Island, after the foundation of Kyukoku Island, if Kyukoku Island is allowed to sit big, the threat to Edo is greater, and they are not capable of fighting on two fronts. ” This is also the inference of the General Staff Office and Zhu Xu, which Cao Bianjiao already knew before he came.
"What if the Japanese insist on going to war and we are not prepared?"
Cao Bianjiao said.
The Ming Dynasty's national strength is now declining rapidly, the army is at the key to reform, the treasury is empty, and it is unable to wage a long-lasting overseas war.
He Xilian was calm, and said: "My lord, Ezo and the Mutsu Domain face each other across the sea, as long as there is a navy stationed in the Karumsu Strait, it can be separated from the island of the country and the island of Kyukoku just like the navy separates the island from the island of Kyukoku in the Kanmen Strait, the Japanese country has no navy, no artillery, they tried it at first, once they fail, they will definitely be frightened, and peace with me is the only way out!"
” Cao Bianjiao was noncommittal, and said, "The Japanese must have known that I am going to be requisitioned by the Ming Dynasty, guess how they will deal with it?"
” He Sai Lian said, "Our intelligence network has detected some, Edo's defense has been adjusted somewhat, and the others have not changed much, and the other is that the center of gravity of the shogunate is still on Kyukoku Island, this Matsudaira Nobutsuna is a close confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he came to Kyukoku Island, indicating that the Tokugawa shogunate has not made major changes, or, I have not thought that my Ming Dynasty will really conquer the Japanese state, and I am waiting and seeing......"
Even the powerful Meng Yuan, although he entered the sea three times, finally collapsed and sank in the sea, which did not bring much shock to the Wa Kingdom, plus the Central Plains Dynasty almost never invaded the Wa Kingdom, it is not surprising that the Wa people have such a mentality.
These Cao Bianjiao could understand and said, "Hmm.
Either way, we have to be prepared.
In two steps, first attract the attention of the shogunate on Kyukoku Island, wait for the Edo army to cross the Kanmon Strait, the navy shells both sides of the strait, block the waterways with mines, cut off their logistical supplies, and then come to the aid of Amakusa Shiro at sea and strike at Matsudaira Nobutsuna, we don't need to defeat him immediately, just drag him down and let Amakusa Shiro be undefeated.
At this time, let's observe the movements of the Wa Kingdom, and then decide whether to take action against Ezo and exert further pressure. ” The Hizen Domain of the Shimabara Rebellion was at the westernmost tip of Kyukoku Island, facing the East China Sea and across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, and as long as Cao Bianjiao provided some support at sea, Amakusa Shiro would be difficult to defeat.
What's more, Amakusa Shiro has the secret support of the Satsuma Domain, whether it is intelligence or grain and grass, and even the people in the army have the people of the Satsuma Domain, if he wants to lose, it depends on whether he Cao Bianjiao agrees!
"The Satsuma clan has already seen it, let's leave tomorrow, stay here, I don't feel at ease."
Cao Bianjiao sat up straight and looked at He Xilian.
He Xilian frowned and said, "Okay, Xiaguan also feels this way, leave the subtlety early." ” This feeling mainly comes from Zuo Liangyu, this person is too evil and ruthless, which makes them uneasy, and they are always worried that something will happen.
Cao Bianjiao didn't sleep all night, while studying the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, he was also thinking about the big game of chess.
Early the next morning, Cao Bianjiao found Zuo Liangyu, and the two chatted for a while, and then went to the school martial arts field, met with some Japanese people who had made military achievements, issued rewards and encouragement, and then quickly got on the boat, left Kagoshima, and returned to Jeju Island, which was Cao Bianjiao's command base camp.
Zuo Liangyu stood on the dock, watching Cao Bianjiao's boat leave, his eyes gradually became indifferent, and anger rose in his heart.
This Cao Bianjiao is only thirty years old, why can he climb on his head?
It's not that he has a good uncle with his back to the emperor!
What is Cao Bianjiao's comparison with him?
Why was he sent to this wild land to be in the company of these barbarians?
The more Zuo Liangyu thought about it, the more angry he became, his face was gloomy and ugly, and when Cao Bianjiao's fleet came out of Lu'er Lake, the corners of his face twitched fiercely, and he said coldly: "Let's go, train the troops!"
” As soon as Zuo Liangyu's voice fell, several people behind him trembled and didn't dare to say more.

Zuo Liangyu's training is to kill people, and he kills them personally, but if anyone is wrong in the slightest, pull it out and let him personally cut it down!
If you are in a good mood, you can die in a dozen, and if you are in a bad mood, you can even die in hundreds!
At the same time, a middle-aged man in Hizen Province finally entered the castle in Karatsu Domain, and he took ten samurai and knelt in an all-white wooden room.
He is sharp and angular, and his face gives people a mean gloomy feeling, which makes it impossible to look directly, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake. ——- Matsudaira Nobutsuna, a close confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu and known as 'Wisdom Izu', was one of Tokugawa Iemitsu's most important aides.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna slowly picked up the teacup, and before picking up the teacup, he looked at the person opposite him coldly-Itakura Shigemasa.
Itakura Shigemasa had a solemn face, sat on his knees, leaned over and said, "Xingang Palace, please advise!"
” For example, Matsudaira Nobutsuna founded a feudal kingdom, he was the lord of the Musashino Domain, and he was also the first feudal lord of the Kawagoe Domain.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, looked up at Itakura Shigema, and said lightly: "Chongchang, Gongfangdi is very disappointed in you." ” Itakura Shigemasa was defeated in Shimahara, and he was defeated.
Tokugawa Iemitsu is tossing the daimyo in various places, weakening their strength, and completely ending the Warring States period, and now Shimahara is defeated, undoubtedly slapping Tokugawa Iemitsu and the shogunate in the face.
Itakura Shigemasa naturally knew that he had no other way to go except seppuku this defeat, so he bowed down and said: "Xingang Palace, I can still fight, please give it to me again!"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at this person and knew that he was deeply connected on Kyukoku Island, and some family governors and daimyo listened to him, and if they wanted to eradicate the rebellion in Shimabara, his help was indispensable.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's tone was cold and indifferent, leaned over slightly, and said with murderous intent: "If you lose again this time, I will personally supervise it, if you can't stand it, I will give you a ride!"
” Itakura Shigema's face changed slightly, he bowed violently, and said: "Yes, thank you for the life-saving grace of the Tsunade Palace, Itakura Shigemasa will never forget!"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna had a smile on his face, but it gave people a more eerie feeling, and his every move seemed to be suffocating.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more oppressive.
Even if Itakura Shigemasa is on par with Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he is still bowing his head at this time, and he doesn't dare to have an atmosphere.
When Matsudaira Nobutsuna arrived in Hizen Province, the situation in Shimabara changed rapidly, and groups of men and horses were gathered, while a steady stream of troops passed through the Kanmon Strait and came to Kyukoku Island.
Shimabara Peninsula, Hara Castle.
In a small city, in a room-like appearance, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, listening to one report after another, sat there without moving, his expression was calm and wise, and he was calm and steady.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in Christian clothes walked in and saluted with Christian etiquette: "Angel, Matsudaira Nobutsuna has arrived at Karatsu Castle, and he will soon go south, and this time, it is said that there will be an army of 100,000!"
