Chapter 823 Key Raiders

In other places, Dahua is still only in the layout.

In Annan and Fusang, Dahua is the key strategy.

Annan has been occupied by almost two-thirds, and the rest is expected to be fully recovered by next year.

The Fusang side is a little slower, mainly because the Fusang elites have a stronger national consciousness and a stronger will to resist.

Annan's Zheng family would choose to surrender if they couldn't fight, but Fuso's Tokugawa family would definitely not.

However, this actually depends on Dahua's attitude.

After discovering that the people at the bottom of Fusang are more likely to accept Dahua's rule, Qian Sule made a memorial, suggesting to speed up the pace of attacking Fusang.

There is no need to proceed step by step as before, direct occupation is also possible.

As long as those elites and rulers are all killed, the remaining Fusang people will be the best good people.

Even, there is no need to kill all of them. It is estimated that half of them will be killed, and the remaining half of the elite will become loyal lackeys like Oshima Speed ​​Lang and others.

Therefore, in September, the Chinese troops stationed in the Satsuma Domain marched towards the Kumamoto Domain, intending to occupy the entire Kyushu Island.

The Kumamoto Domain had long been exhausted in the battle with Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, and at this time, facing Dahua's tiger and wolf division, where is it still an opponent.

Only three days after the start of the war, Kumamoto Castle fell, and Nishikawa Wangyoshi fled, fled to the mountainous area, and continued to resist.

However, this resistance is nothing but a dying struggle.

The Hua army continued to advance, and soon wiped out Nishikawa Wangji and completely annexed the Kumamoto domain.

Immediately afterwards, Dahua continued northward and attacked the Fukuoka domain.

Fukuoka Domain is the last big domain on Kyushu Island.

After defeating the Fukuoka Domain, it was almost as if the island of Kyushu was occupied.

The situation of Fukuoka Domain is slightly better than that of Kumamoto Domain.

Their situation is good, referring to the life of the people and the economy of the territory.

In terms of military power alone, they are not even as good as the Kumamoto Domain.

At least the Kumamoto domain still has a large number of weapons and equipment assisted by the Chinese army, and even helped them train the army.

In terms of combat power, it is far superior to other big names.

The Fukuoka Domain received little assistance, and now even flintlock guns are not widely used in the army, and there are a large number of bird guns, swords, and crossbows.

How could such an army be an opponent of the Chinese army?

The bombardment before the war blew up the Fukuoka clan's army and fled, and the Chinese infantry didn't even have a chance to perform.

In October, the Chinese army had already advanced to Naoxi, 40 kilometers away from Fukuoka.

As for those islands and ports outside the Fukuoka Domain, such as Nagasaki, Sasebo and other places, have been captured by Dahua.

As long as the last big city of Fukuoka is taken, the Fukuoka Domain will be declared dead.

However, at this time, the Fuso Allied Forces organized by the shogunate landed in Fukuoka.

They sent a total of 60,000 troops this time, and together with the 20,000 remnants of the Fukuoka Domain, they came to the area of ​​Ono for defense.

However, after repeated battles, only about 7,000 people were able to continue fighting, except for the troops that were still resting.

The difference in strength is more than ten times, and the Fusang people are still defending, and the terrain of Ono is a canyon corridor in the middle, with alpine terrain on both sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, the Hua army suspended the attack and waited for reinforcements.

As long as there is a battle, the War Department is open to anyone who comes.

The court has no money, it doesn't matter, they can find their own way.

Either sell miserably in front of Wu Changqing, or seek private donations, or save money internally.

In short, they have a way to scrape together the military budget.

There is no need for the imperial court to spend money, and those civil servants have nothing to say.

And Wu Changqing did not attack their enthusiasm, and approved their plan to transfer two more divisions to Fusang.

At the same time, Wu Changqing also announced the expansion of five more divisions.

With more and more sites, it is also necessary to appropriately increase the number of troops.

Those newly recovered places need to station more troops to deter Xiaoxiao.

The two army divisions went to Fusang to fight. Before going to sea, the Chamber of Commerce organized a grand farewell.

To say that the people who like war the most, besides the military, are Dahua's businessmen.

Every foreign war, they can get behind the buttocks for huge benefits.

Therefore, they are the most determined main fighting faction.

The army has no money to fight, so this is easy to do.

Just talk to the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce will organize private donations.

These donations are mainly from businessmen.

Of course, there are also some patriotic activists.

When they heard that the imperial court was going to recover the territory, they were very excited, and they would rather save their own money than donate some money and make some efforts.

Although there are not many donations, there are many people who donate, and the accumulation is also a considerable number.

The national title of Dahua has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most of the Dahua people have begun to take pride in being Dahua.

In this case, patriotism is very marketable, as opposed to other countries.

When other countries are short of money to go to war, they can only rely on force to impose taxes and apportionments, and expect the people to donate voluntarily, which is simply a dream.

At the port, the people waved colorful flags, cheered, and shouted slogans like "Great China is Invincible".

Some caring people also prepared some souvenirs and stuffed snacks for the soldiers who were queuing up to board the boat.

That is to say, Dahua's atmosphere is still relatively conservative, otherwise, these soldiers who fought for the country, the night before their departure, maybe there will be beautiful women to praise and comfort them.

These actions made the soldiers who were about to go out very comfortable.

In the past, I fought in the army to earn a living, and to make a living.

But now, when you fight in the military, you can get respect, praise, and recognition.

This gave the soldiers a sense of collective honor, and they were even more embarrassed to run away when fighting. It can also be said that they already have primary beliefs.

Among the people who came to say goodbye, there were even some Fusang women.

This is also thanks to the propaganda department of Dahua Li's subordinates. They naturally won't say that Dahua is going to occupy Fusang, but to rescue the poor people of Fusang.

In Dahua's words, the rulers of Fusang were too cruel and did not treat the people as human beings.

Dahua, as the ancestor of Fusang, naturally cannot easily make this happen, so he has to eliminate those rulers and rescue the ordinary people of Fusang.

This kind of remark is not all nonsense, and naturally there are people in Fusang who believe it.

Especially these Fusang women living in Dahua, they used to be the oppressed class in Fusang.

After coming to Dahua, although the life of Dahua is not as good as that of Dahua, it is much better than before, at least I have enough to eat.

Therefore, they are very supportive of Dahua, and they are convinced of Dahua's propaganda.

Slowly, they have all regarded themselves as part of Dahua.

As for those women who are already married to Dahua men, even more so.
