Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Soon after, Ping'an Jing received a report from Shi Jianguo, and Xu Jun looted everywhere, broke through two county officials, and ransacked the treasury!

Miyori Fujiwara felt that the situation was getting worse and she couldn't sleep at night.

In the dim light, a man in the shadow by the wall said in a deep voice, "As long as Minister Zuo orders, someone will let Xiaoye die."

"No." Miyori Fujiwara stopped without hesitation. He turned around and said in a low voice: "It is true that Mr. Ono's political views are different from my own, but he is a nobleman after all."

That person didn't seem to understand what Fujiwara Mirai meant.

Fujiwara Miyori said again: "The difference between the public minister and the samurai clan is very big..."

The man suddenly bowed and said, "Minister Zuo is wise!"

Fujiwara Miyori sighed, closed her eyes and rested her mind, but her heart fell into worry. Unless it is a last resort, he doesn't want to rely too much on subordinates and samurai groups... These people are completely different from the ministers, they are seeking status and power.

If it is allowed to develop, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the status quo in Japan, and it is only a matter of time; if it is continuously entrusted with important tasks, this process will be greatly shortened.

Fujiwara Miyori already felt that it was difficult to contain it, because once there was chaos in Japan, it was difficult to avoid the samurai's involvement in it. Even domestic rebellions, the court could not put down without relying on the samurai regiment.

"No fighting, peace and tranquility, the world is very lucky." He pondered.

The person who was in the same room with him didn't respond... It's obvious that the situation is going to die now, Miyori Fujiwara said something nonsense.

Miyori Fujiwara frowned and said, "Instead of letting the samurai clan become big, it is better to let Ono-kun come forward to lead it. At least it can avoid forming too large a samurai clan... Ono will take on greater responsibilities."

Having said that, he has decided what to do.

There are not many choices, and Miyori Fujiwara can't choose to seek peace, which is unacceptable to everyone; maybe there will be another samurai rebellion in the name of defending the Emperor and Qing Dynasty!

...The next day, Miyori Fujiwara invited Yoshiko Ono to meet again, and asked about the strategy of fighting against Daxu.

Ono Koko seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he talked eloquently: "From what I see, the defense of the Xu Kingdom should focus on both sea and land."

Fujiwara Miyori asked calmly, "Why don't you explain in detail what Ono-kun said about the strategy of emphasizing both land and sea?"

Ono Haogu made a salute: "The Central Plains attacked Japan, and the only way to come from a long way by sea is to destroy Xu Jun at Ishijian State's Omori Village, so that Xu Jun's navy can float on the sea and have nowhere to stand.

In the battle on land, the main purpose was to harass and cut off the sea route, so that Xu Jun could not reinforce the food, military supplies and military sources. "

Ono Haogu said: "According to what I heard, Xu Jun's infantry mostly use gunpowder weapons, and they are especially powerful in defending the city and infantry formations. However, they lack ships and the sea routes are far away. They are no match for our Japanese navy. The imperial army should first send people to control the sea routes, and then launch an attack on Xu Jun's stronghold in Omorizhuang."

After hearing this, Fujiwara Mirai asked, "I heard it from the Khitan people?"

Ono Haogu said: "The Liao Kingdom and the Xu Kingdom have fought for many years, and they must be able to understand Xu Jun."

Miyori Fujiwara nodded slightly, more confident that Koko Ono would be in charge. However, he had a look of sorrow and sadness on his face. After pondering for a moment, he sang in a sad tone: "The slight night wind, the carefree heart, the strong wind is hidden behind the dark clouds."

Ono is also a person who likes waka, and the two cherish each other for a while, and Ono also echoed: "The flames of war are getting closer."

...

On the coast of Iwami National University, there is a small earthen castle like a stockade, which is not very eye-catching. But Zhang Jiankui and others inspected very meticulously, even the latrines were not spared.

They stopped to rest on the earthen wall, Zhang Jiankui said casually: "In this situation, we can't be stable here. Minister Zan is an important minister of the court, so there is no need to stay in this exotic and dangerous place... But now it seems that if you want to go back by sea, the risk is not small."

The waiter Zan said: "Life and death are fate. If Commander Zhang's food and drinks weren't clean that day, how can I stand here and talk to Commander Zhang?"

Zhang Jiankui laughed "haha" after hearing this.

Zan Jurun smiled again and said, "Perhaps Commander Zhang doesn't know something, but the appearance of the helmets worn by the soldiers is from my hands."

"Oh?" Zhang Jiankui was a little surprised, and took off the helmet to observe with great interest.

Zan Jurun said: "It used to be that the forged helmets were airtight. I heard complaints from soldiers in the army. Now there are holes on both sides, but the holes are hidden and facing downwards. It is breathable and does not affect the defense."

Zhang Jiankui said with a smile: "The last general really didn't expect Minister Zan to know about military affairs."

Zan Jurun said: "I am also the leader of the military weapon supervisor... I am fortunate to be in the battle to observe the battle with my own eyes. If I can survive after the battle, I will definitely gain a lot."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiankui cupped his fists and bowed, "It's the honor of the last general to be able to fight side by side with Minister Zan."

Zan Jurun also put away his smile, and returned the salute with a straight face: "Now in the army, everyone is of one heart and one mind, the country is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiankui said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Minister Zan. Although Zhang Jianjun (Zhang Yin) has died for the country, we will definitely do our part! General Daxu has never bowed his knees to survive in front of foreign invaders. In the end, he will fight to the end in blood to repay the emperor's favor!"

Zan Jurun breathed a sigh of relief, and said kindly: "As long as I build the big ship, the imperial reinforcements will come. We are not dead."

A group of people have checked the warehouse. The gunpowder and ammunition are the military supplies that have been transported by sea in the past few months, and the reserves are sufficient; they have also robbed two county officials and several villages.

So far, the earth castle has almost been completed, but the project of deepening the riverbed of Sanping River and connecting it to the sea has not yet been completed. After Takasaki was killed, the project was basically abandoned by the military officials and generals because of the lack of manpower.

The fort was built on a low hill with solid foundations. It is more than three miles away from the coast in the north; it is less than one mile away from the bank of Sanpingchuan River in the west, and there is a large forest in the east... It is said that the ore containing silver was dug from the mountains behind the forest.

The overall appearance is "Liuhua Castle", which is almost a miniature version of Wuding Castle. The city walls are all made of mud, clay, and rammed lime, and are low, so there is no way to wrap them with bricks, so it looks like a strange and simple earthen village.

The walls are not built high, but the hexagonal and connected arc-shaped combined city walls are very thick solid earth walls, very strong! There are more than forty bronze cannons deployed on the hexagons; all of them have dug fortifications, which are half buried in the soil and covered with wooden beams and felt cloth.

There is no fortification position under the city wall, and the place where the city defense infantry is deployed is halfway up the city wall; a cave for storing soldiers is dug at the halfway up, and a female wall with a height of nearly a person is built, which looks like a railing.

The place in the city is not spacious, it is full of low and solid earthen houses. Among them are the lobby of the command office, barracks, warehouses, and stables, and there are no more venues other than these.

The house is very rough and simple, but everyone mainly wants to make it practical. The roofs of the houses with earth walls are made of wooden beams and felt roofs, and then a thick layer of mud is pasted to prevent fire. Watering is required every day to keep the mud moist.

There are more than 500 people in Iwami Fort, including soldiers, officials, doctors and other identities.

Zhang Jiankui, Zan Jurun and others inspected wells, drainage channels and other facilities.

It was the first time for Zhang Jiankui to be in charge of such a military garrison alone, and sometimes he felt a headache, because from the fortification structure to the defense of various ministries, it was much more complicated than the usual marching formation with a commanding force; there were also various files.

Fortunately, Zan Jurun and other civil officials were there, and these copybooks were indeed a trivial matter for them.

When Zan Jurun first came here, he had nothing to say to Zhang Jiankui, and it was really difficult for civil servants and generals to get along with each other. But maybe Zan Jurun escaped unintentionally and spent a long time together, but he got along very well with Zhang Jiankui.

Zan Jurun patrolled around, and said in a joking tone: "Commander Zhang can command Shi Jianbao, which is enough to command an army."

Zhang Jiankui hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, dare not be."

Zan Jurun smiled and said, "If Commander Zhang does a good job in Dongdao, it is not impossible to command an army."
