Although this collision had various disadvantages, generally speaking, it was quite smooth.
First of all, the dojo completely controls Dewa Country, and most of the two countries, Echigo and Mutsu, are also under the control of the dojo.
Even in Ezo Island, which is located further north and is more wild, some local tycoons have been conquered by the dojo.
These small local tycoons are weak. Because they are far away from the main island of Japan, they have not been affected by the trend of suppressing the superiors. They still maintain an extremely feudal social system.
As a result, the local powerhouses were extremely weak, not even as good as the original Dewa Country.
Moreover, Ezo Island is vast and sparsely populated. The only area that is really inhabited is the coastal area, and the total population is only about 100,000.
Of course, these 100,000 people are talking about civilized people, that is, civilized immigrants from Japan.
Further north, in the bitter cold land where the population is even sparse, there are still more than 200,000 native residents living. However, they all live a life of feeding on hair and drinking blood. They are almost the same as savages and are difficult to conquer. Even if they are conquered, they will have little use value.
Naturally, Zhong Yu would not see it and waste his troops to conquer their barbaric lands.
After this month of rebellion and annexation, Zhong Yu has mastered Shigao (a Japanese name for field yield, similar to China's grain yield per mu), a territory of about two million shi, and a population of about 1.8 million. His strength ranks among the top princes in the entire Warring States Period of Japan, and few people in the world can compare with him.
And after Zhong Yu's rebellion and annexation, he absorbed many wandering warriors and vassal warriors from the original rich family, and the number of second-level warrior legions under his control directly reached 20,000.
And below this, there is also a first-order legion with a strength of 50,000.
No one in Japan can achieve this kind of strength.
"Now that the plan has been largely completed, only Echigo and some local tycoons in Mutsu and Austria are still resisting. Let me mobilize a large army to wipe them out quickly.
Then I will launch an army to march westward, and kill all the clowns in the central region who claim to be civilized people, all across the northeast.
I want to see if the blood of these civilized people is nobler than that of us, whom they call savages. "
Lingtian Dojo, in the main hall of the dojo, there are already hundreds of powerful warriors lined up densely.
They are all the generals assigned by Zhong Yu to be responsible for the strategy and assistant matters in each region. Incidentally, they are also responsible for the restoration of local people's livelihood.
It can be said that he combines military and political power. He is a prestigious and noble figure wherever he is placed.
However, these big figures who used to appear to be extremely noble in the eyes of ordinary people were trembling in front of the man above them. They did not dare to take a breath, and their faces were full of respect and humility.
"Yes, Taoist Master."
After hearing Zhong Yu's instructions, the hundreds of warriors below quickly responded.
In fact, for them, it is their duty to send troops to exterminate the local tyrants. In particular, some of the samurai generals whose jurisdiction was in the areas where local tyrants were resisting had been impatient for a long time.
The resistance area of these local tyrants is the place under their jurisdiction. If the war continues for a period of time, their strength will be depleted. They are more anxious than anyone else.
Although some other warriors do not have these worries about rebellion, they have longed for the center of the world, a region that is richer than the three northeastern countries.
Not to mention, those tycoons from the central region of Japan had dared to kill the disciples of the dojo without authorization, and later obstructed the spread of the dojo in every possible way, which had long aroused the anger of everyone in the dojo.
The warrior generals in the palace have long hated the stubborn local tyrants in the central region, and they wish they could attack them with their troops now and chop off their heads.
Well, whether it's for revenge or for some honor, it's all vain.
The real reason why these people are so eager to attack the local tyrants in central China is because of what Zhong Yu said before.
"After sending troops to march westward, all the local tyrants were not left behind, and all their families were killed. I will share the land left by these local tyrants with you. If you conquer an area, you only need to hand over half of the territory, and the remaining half will belong to the person who conquered the area. .”
This commitment is what really matters.
Raising troops to march westward would not only help them avenge Yixue's humiliation, but also gain a large amount of territory. This was the reason why they were so active.
Every male samurai in the Warring States Period had the ambition to make military exploits, be granted land by his master, and become a daimyo.
Therefore, when Zhong Yu directly placed their inner desires in front of them and told them clearly that as long as they completed the tasks he assigned, they could receive the rewards they deserved.
Under this kind of motivation, these warriors always wanted to go to the central part or even further places to fight a good fight, gain military honors for them, and gain rich land wealth by the way.
For Zhong Yu, land and other things didn't matter at all, they were just dispensable things.
He came to this world with only one purpose, and that was to recover from his injuries and then continue his journey.
The only way to heal his injuries is to have enough luck. As long as he has enough luck, he can quickly recover from his injuries.
There are two ways to obtain luck. The first is the long-term method, conquering a territory and slowly extracting luck from the people in the territory.
However, this method took too long, and Zhong Yu couldn't wait. He also had a lifespan limit that he hated very much. He would not waste too much time just to heal an injury, and he would not do it.
Then there is only the second option, kill directly.
Using this crude method, even if they lose a lot of luck and damage the foundation of this world, they must directly plunder enough luck from these creatures.
And this is why Zhong Yu agreed so readily to allocate territory to the warriors under his command.
In addition to the reasons that inspired those warriors to fight for themselves, there was another more important reason.
On top of the previous order, there is one point that is directly marked.
That is, no matter whether they surrender or not, no matter whether they have been against the dojo, and no matter whether they are strong or not, they will kill all the local tyrants in the conquered territory.
Under this threat of death, those wealthy people learned that even if they surrendered, they would not be spared.
If you don't say anything about your own death, your whole family will also be destroyed, and even the entire family will be destroyed.
It would be strange if they would not fight to the end and mobilize all the forces they could mobilize to fight to the death against the troops present when they were pushed to the breaking point.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the bloody nature of each of these wealthy families in Japan's Warring States Period. After all, they have experienced nearly a hundred years of turmoil.
Even though Japan's Warring States Period was largely exaggerated, the scale of their wars was very small. But the blood contained in it cannot be ignored.
Which family can survive from the long war to the present and still develop to a certain extent, which one has not grown up from the bloody storm and the corpses of its enemies.
After falling into a desperate situation, they still have the courage to fight to the death with the enemy.
