After a long time, Cao Ling said: "Leave this matter to you. I will ask Your Majesty to appoint you as the commander of the Imperial Alliance Army of the Ming Empire. However, you must ensure that you complete the task of the Imperial Alliance Army within one month." Expand!¡±
Matsudaira Kuboki's whole body was trembling, but he still tried his best to stay rational, knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I swear to my death that I will complete the expansion of the Imperial Alliance Army within a month!"
After making the guarantee, Matsudaira Kubo asked cautiously: "Sir, Commander-in-Chief, may I ask how the officers will be arranged after the expansion of the Imperial Alliance Army?"
Cao Ling pondered for a moment and said: "Except for your official position, which needs to be consulted by Your Majesty, the rest will be arranged by you first, and we will talk about it after the expansion is completed!"
Seeing that Cao Ling actually asked him to arrange an official position, Matsudaira Kubo was even more happy. He kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I will definitely fulfill my duties and promise to complete the expansion of the Imperial Alliance Army within one month!"
Cao Ling showed an appreciative look on his face and added: "There is one more thing you need to make clear to the newly recruited Imperial Alliance Army. One hundred thousand of these two hundred thousand people will be sent to Liaodong. If anyone is unwilling to go, you must Make it clear in advance, otherwise military law will be intolerable when the time comes!"
Matsudaira Kubo said flatteringly: "Commander, don't worry, as long as you join the Imperial Alliance Army, you will be a slave of the Ming Dynasty in life and a ghost of the Ming Dynasty in death. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, I will personally cut off his head!"
Cao Ling nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, go ahead and do it!"
Matsudaira Kubo kowtowed again and said: "I humbly obey my order! I humbly take my leave!"
"Then Matsudaira Kubo knelt down and took three steps, then stood up and bowed out of the tent, and then ran towards the camp gate with bowed waist!
It wasn¡¯t until he left the expeditionary camp that Matsudaira Kubo straightened up, and the look on his face became cold and arrogant!
Matsudaira Kubo's men who were waiting outside the camp quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what are your orders from the Commander-in-Chief?"
Matsudaira Kubo said with a ferocious smile on his face: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor has decreed to expand the Imperial Alliance Army to 200,000 people. The Commander-in-Chief has entrusted this matter to me!"
Hearing this, Matsudaira Kubo¡¯s subordinates all had expressions of surprise on their faces. They all bowed to Matsudaira Kubo and said, ¡°Congratulations, sir, on being re-employed. Please take good care of me in the future!¡±
Matsudaira Kubo grinned and said: "This is all a trivial matter. Let's go back immediately to prepare for recruitment. This matter must be completed within a month, otherwise the commander-in-chief will blame him. It's not a joke!"
"Yes!" Matsudaira Kubo's subordinates responded in unison, and then the group left in a hurry!
On the same day, Matsudaira Kubo sent people to several surrounding vassal states to recruit people, and he took a hundred of his subordinates to the construction site of the new Edo Castle and erected a notice board on the side of the road!
The Japanese people were very familiar with Matsudaira Kubo and his group of Imperial Alliance soldiers. They were in awe and envy of these people who could serve the Ming Dynasty. When they saw Matsudaira Kubo personally setting up a bulletin board, some people gathered around come over!
The people who dared to come around were all officials of the former shogunate. After the surrender, these people lost their official positions, but through Matsudaira Kubo's relationship, they could do easy work such as supervising the construction site. Therefore, although they were dressed in tatters and their bodies and faces were dirty, Xixi, but in the past they were all respectable people!
As soon as these people came over, they saw the content on the bulletin board. When they learned that the Imperial Association Army was going to expand to 200,000, these people immediately became excited. It can be said that they are all warriors, and it is very important for them to join the army to fight. It¡¯s better than working on a construction site!
Immediately, a person who was familiar with Matsudaira Kubo kowtowed to Matsudaira Kubo and asked excitedly: "Master Matsudaira, does the Imperial Association Army really want to recruit 200,000 people? Can we samurai warriors join the Imperial Association?" military?"
Matsudaira Kubo looked at the man in front of him, nodded seriously and said: "Yes! Your Majesty, the Ming Emperor, needs samurai warriors from Japan to fight, as long as they are over 18 years old and no more than 25 years old. , and samurai who are no more than thirty years old, can join the Imperial Association Army, and military pay will be paid according to the current standards of the Imperial Association Army, and family members can also become military dependents. Not only are they exempted from all labor, but they can also be allocated land and tenants!"
Those former samurai went crazy when they heard these words. Since they were defeated and captured, they have become coolies. First they cleaned up Edo Castle, then built Kyokan, and now they are building New Edo Castle. These It is simply torture for a samurai!
Now that they have the opportunity to take up arms and fight again, they certainly don¡¯t want to miss it. So after the news spread, all the men and samurai of the right age on the entire construction site,They all swarmed towards Matsudaira Kubo!
Fortunately, Matsudaira Kubo was well prepared and gave his Imperial Army a good beating. Only then did the chaotic scene calm down. In a well-organized order, Matsudaira Kubo recruited 30,000 people before dark!
With these 30,000 people, Matsudaira Kubo had enough confidence. He spent three days reorganizing these people, and then sent out all the experienced samurai to recruit troops in the countryside!
In order to cooperate with Matsudaira Kubo's army expansion, the support fleet also regarded military supplies as its main transportation target. Ships of weapons were directly moved from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country and then distributed to the Imperial Alliance Army!
At the same time, in order to expand the Imperial Alliance Army faster and create combat effectiveness, the sealed Japanese weapons and armors were also taken out. As a result, after a busy month of work, Matsudaira Kubo actually expanded the Imperial Alliance Army to two One hundred thousand people!
With such a large army, Cao Ling's confidence can be said to be overwhelming. In order to test the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army, Cao Ling led 10,000 expeditionary troops and 50,000 Imperial Alliance Army to launch an attack on Saitama!
The little Saitama was originally a tributary of Edo. After Edo was burned down and the Tokugawa family was destroyed, the Saitama clan's daimyo was worried all day long, fearing that the Ming army would attack. Even the Imperial Association Army recruited troops in Saitama. No one dared to interfere!
When he learned that the Ming Dynasty was marching towards Qiyu, he surrendered without saying a word. As a result, Cao Ling captured Qiyu without spending a single soldier, and several small vassal states around him also surrendered!
In order to appease these surrendered daimyo, Cao Ling directly made them deputy commanders of the Imperial Association Army, and handed them over to manage the 100,000 Imperial Association Army troops to be sent to Liaodong!
Although 100,000 people were divided, Matsudaira Kubo was not unhappy at all. Firstly, he did not dare to be unhappy at all. Secondly, because he knew that he would stay in Japan and eventually become the seventh follower. The Demon King Cao Ling is the man who attacks Kyoto!
After several small vassal states around Edo surrendered, Cao Ling could no longer hold back the fire in his heart and mobilized 20,000 expeditionary troops and 100,000 Imperial Association troops, a total of 120,000 troops to march towards Kyoto!
Cao Ling pointed his sword at Kyoto, and the first vassal state he encountered that dared to resist was Ueno. Ueno belonged to the Eastern Mountain Road of the Japanese state. Because the territory had many mountains and little land, the people's customs were strong and fierce. It was a famous samurai producing area in the Japanese state!
