The rebellion of the Yamada family was not an isolated one. Throughout Dewa Country, similar incidents of retainer rebellions, samurai rebellions, and the extermination of local wealthy families occurred one after another.
In just ten days, under the command of one person in Dewa Kokutoku, all the samurai in the wealthy families launched a rebellion.
The rebellion was surprisingly successful because most of the wealthy families in the country, after such a long period of replacement, the warriors in their families had already become disciples of the dojo who were born in Lingtian dojo, with more sophisticated inheritance and more powerful strength.
Therefore, the force possessed by these wealthy families has basically become the force possessed by the ashram.
Therefore, when the dojo betrays these wealthy families, the resistance of these wealthy families is equivalent to five, and they can basically be destroyed in one go.
Of course, it does not mean that all these wealthy families were destroyed at once. Some of them escaped and were still alive.
Zhong Yu's control over everyone in the dojo is not absolute. After all, his time is short and his strength is insufficient, so it is difficult for him to implement truly effective control methods over those disciples.
Nowadays, the reason why the disciples of these dojos are loyal to him is only because of his kindness to them and Zhong Yu's own strong strength.
In addition, Zhong Yu's layout has now been completely completed, and the trend sweeping the three Northeastern countries has become unstoppable. Anyone who stands in the way will be crushed by this general trend.
Therefore, some of those disciples may be dissatisfied, but they dare not show it and can only obey. This is being coerced by the general trend and having no choice but to do things that go against one's own wishes.
The entire Deyu Kingdom can barely be considered large, and the family can be called a wealthy family.
From the daimyo who controlled several counties to the local tycoon who controlled a village, there were more than two hundred families in total.
With so many families, it is naturally impossible for them all to be destroyed at once.
After Zhong Yu's plan began, more than ten families survived.
Or because he was aware of it in advance and put out the rebellion within the family. Or it could simply be that the chess pieces who were not in their family rebelled, betrayed Zhong Yu and provided these families with information, allowing them to take some precautions.
In short, there are some families who survived.
However, even if they escaped with their lives for the time being, it would be difficult for them to cause any trouble. They would just jump around a little longer and cause more trouble to Zhong Yu.
There were no exceptions for the families that were able to escape. They were all small and medium-sized families with more than a hundred or hundreds of soldiers.
A real big family with thousands of soldiers and horses. They have been given special attention by Zhong Yu for a long time. I don't know how many chess pieces have been arranged in the family, and they have been completely infiltrated.
So after the rebellion, these big families were the first to be unlucky, and they were destroyed almost instantly because of the focus on them.
As for the remaining small families who escaped with their lives, they only had more than a hundred soldiers and horses, and they could only hold up to the sky with only a few hundred soldiers. It is unknown if there are only two or three thousand people in total, not to mention that they are scattered in various places, making it difficult to form a unified force.
With such meager strength, and there were not many samurai in their family, how could they possibly resist Zhong Yu's 4,000 samurai legions with strength above the second level in Deyu Country.
Not to mention that in addition to the 4,000 second-level warriors and above, Zhong Yu also had a larger first-level ordinary army of 10,000 people.
How could such a huge elite force be resisted by a mere two to three thousand people.
So regarding the survival of these families, Zhong Yu just read the news and threw it aside. He ordered the samurai regiments next to the family members to destroy them nearby, and then completely forgot about them.
He has more important things to do now.
After the rebellion in Deyu Country was successful, Zhong Yu turned his attention to the two countries next to Deyu Country.
In Echigo Kingdom and Mutsu Kingdom, although the strength of the dojo is very strong and has penetrated into various local wealthy families, the control of the dojo over these two countries is far less than that of Dewa Country.
Not to mention that the local strength of these two countries far exceeds that of Yu Country, and the penetration time of the dojo into the two countries has not been as long as that of Deyu Country.
Therefore, even though Zhong Yu knows the strength of the dojo, if they are all activated, a powerful force can be formed in an instant that sweeps both countries and crushes everything.
But Zhong Yu still felt a little uneasy and worried about whether he could really completely pacify the local tyrants of the two countries and truly control the two countries in the hands of the dojo.
Sure enough, when the rebellion in the dojo broke out, most of the retainers of the rich families in the two countries rebelled, and they successfully killed their original family heads, and controlled the territories of those rich people in the hands of the dojo.
But there are still many wealthy families, because the family itself is extremely powerful. Even if the samurai present launch a rebellion, they cannot be destroyed all at once.
The two sides either fell into a stalemate, or simply the samurai in the dojo were strangled.
The rebellion plans of the two countries did not go smoothly, and there were some slight changes.
The strength of the dojos was strong, and they were connected in series and echoed each other. They wiped out most of the local tycoons in the two countries at once, and connected their respective territories into one.
Some wealthy families discovered rebellion, or the dojo warriors defected. In short, for various reasons, they survived.
Then, angry and frightened, they gathered soldiers and horses in the territory and gathered under their respective cities, preparing to resist to the death.
At the same time, they also sent ninjas and spies from their respective families to explore the territories of rich people in various parts of the country, hoping to find allies and support each other to avoid falling into a situation of fighting alone.
Therefore, when the rebellion broke out in January, the domestic chaos in the two countries had completely subsided, and a more stable situation had generally been formed.
After a month of melee and rebellion, and the suppression of the rebellion, or the dojo sent troops to conquer the local tyrants, the local tyrants rose up to counterattack the dojo.
The domestic forces of the two countries can be said to have annexed and merged with each other, and finally formed two forces.
The first place was naturally the dojo. Because of the preparations in advance and his own unstoppable power, he controlled nearly 3/4 of the territory of the two countries in one fell swoop.
Moreover, more than 4/5 of the high-level warrior-level power in both countries have taken refuge in the dojo. It can be said that more than 80% of the power in the two countries has been controlled by the dojo.
The remaining wealthy people control the 20%.
These local tycoons may be in a remote location and the dojo's influence has not yet reached there, so they are somewhat beyond their reach, so they are trying to survive for the time being.
Or maybe they relied on the mountains to gain access to a terrain that was easier to defend and harder to attack, making it difficult for the dojo to be destroyed for a while, but it also survived.
Some families, because they are really strong, directly rely on the family's own strength to block the attacks of the dojo outside their homes and stand firm. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
These families are the real headache for the dojo.
Because of their considerable strength and the fact that both sides were already locked in a fight to the death, a war was destined to happen.
When the dojo destroys them, casualties are inevitable, and the casualties are quite large.
Due to concerns, the dojo temporarily put them on hold.
