Zhao Dading stood on the pier, watching a merchant ship dock.

This is a merchant ship coming from Jinling, carrying the daily necessities of these soldiers, as well as some inland people who came from Jinling and wanted to make money on the Japanese side.

War sometimes not only represents chaos, more often it also represents interests and money.

For the common people of the Wa Kingdom, the war will destroy their homes, but for the common people in the country, it is a great opportunity.

During the war, there was a shortage of people everywhere, and these ordinary people could work and do other things after they came to the Wa country.

In general, it is more profitable than at home.

When they come here, they will also enjoy certain policy care.

Of course, there was a high-spirited young man on board this ship, and he was standing on the deck at this moment, quietly watching the coast ahead.

Seabirds kept flapping their wings beside him, and amidst the noisy chirping of seabirds, the ship docked on the shore.

Before he had time to get off the boat, he saw people in military uniforms waiting for him standing on the pier.

The young man is Li Dingguo. Not long ago, he led Sun Jie's order to get on the ship to Japan.

Of course, besides him, there are also a group of graduates from the Daqin Military Academy.

These people were standing behind him, and they had already gotten to know each other along the way.

Li Dingguo looked at a young man of his age standing beside him. The young man was called Wei Xian.

"Brother Wei, we are finally here. The people waiting for us on the pier should be the local defenders."

Wei Xian looked around and immediately recognized Zhao Dading who was standing in the front.

The smile on his face became brighter, and he hastily explained: "The person standing at the front is General Zhao Dading. He was one of the first generals to follow His Majesty. He also gave us lessons at the beginning. He is a very Good general.

Few people in the court can match his prestige. I didn't expect him to come here in person today. It's really surprising. Let's get ready to disembark quickly, and don't make the general wait too long. "

As Wei Xian spoke, he led Li Dingguo and the graduates of the Great Qin Military Academy behind him to gather on the deck.

Finally, they neatly followed the gangway to the port.

They were wearing the military uniforms that Sun Jie had prepared for them before leaving. Zhao Dading saw them at a glance and greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I finally look forward to you people."

Zhao Dading came in front of them and said with a bright smile.

"I don't know which one is Li Dingguo?!"

Zhao Dading's eyes kept scanning the people.

Xie Xian pushed Li Dingguo and pushed him out of the crowd.

Only then did Li Dingguo come to his senses, so he hurriedly replied: "Sir, I am Li Dingguo."

Zhao Dading put his eyes on Li Dingguo, then walked towards Li Dingguo, and patted Li Dingguo's surveillance chest.

"Your majesty told me about you before, but I didn't expect to send you here this time. Although your background is not very good, your majesty values ​​you very much. You must seize this opportunity and don't let your majesty down. Take it seriously." Zhao Dading said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's respect." Zhao Dading said loudly.

To some extent, although Li Dingguo's theoretical knowledge may not be as good as the graduates of the Daqin Military Academy, his actual combat and overall planning capabilities are much stronger.

He has already given the answer in history, and Sun Jie doesn't need to prove it again.

If you carve it well, it will be of great use in the future.

He doesn't need to study like a regular student in the Daqin Military Academy. He is a natural general, and the battlefield is his school.

Zhao Dading brought everyone back to the station. The small station had long since disappeared, but now the station has formed a certain scale.

What came into view was a bustling town, where about [-] to [-] people from the mainland of the Great Qin lived.

Among these people, quite a few are businessmen who came to do business, and the rest are ordinary people who work for these businessmen.

The wages of these ordinary people are also very high, two to three times that of Daming.

There are also some Japanese people who speak rough Chinese, but there are not many such people.

Because of the language barrier and their poor ability, most of the people in the Wa country were engaged in heavy manual labor outside the city, such as farming or mining.

Those Japanese people who speak Chinese well are in a better situation.

This is a scaled-down version of the Great Qin City, and the Japanese-style buildings have disappeared without a trace.

Confucian temples are everywhere, and Han culture is pervasive.

The wind of Qin is everywhere, and the Chinese voice is loud and clear.

All kinds of goods from Daqin are sold on the streets of the town, and the money used is also silver or copper coins issued by the Daqin Bank.

Walking through the bustling streets, we came to the most central location, which is where Zhao Dading is now stationed.

A circular military camp appeared in front of Li Dingguo. The city wall was not very high or thick, and it looked more like an ordinary stockade.

A strong defense does not come from a high city and a deep city. With the blessing of advanced weapons and loyal thoughts, it is not necessary for Zhao Dading to build a tall and stable city.

Under Zhao Dading's leadership, Li Dingguo was familiar with all parts of the camp. As dusk approached, the resident set up a few tables for them to welcome the wind.

The lights here are brightly lit, talking and laughing.

However, Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo was very anxious.

Today, most of the Wa country has been taken by Zhao Dading, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's sphere of influence is also shrinking sharply.

Now, except for Edo and those places east of Edo, almost all the forces in the west have been lost.

For Tokugawa Iemitsu, if he can no longer make any substantial progress, demise has become a certainty.

He still didn't give up, and asked his warriors to start recruiting peasants in the country, and formed a peasant army.

The daily expenses of these peasant armies are very high, and the food they eat every day is an astronomical figure.

In order to supply these peasant troops, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not hesitate to attack the wealthy businessmen under his command.

This move drew resistance from countless businessmen.

This made the Tokugawa family feel murderous.

At the beginning, he still cared about his face, but in the end he didn't care about anything. In order to get money and food, he was already red-eyed.

Under violence and strong means, the Tokugawa shogunate was shrouded in a thick cloud, and everyone was worried about their situation.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, as is the case with the current Tokugawa shogunate.

Many samurai or bankrupt farmers joined the defection and headed west.

For them, where is the family and country important to survive?
If you can't survive in the hands of the Tokugawa shogunate, then go elsewhere.

To the west of Edo Castle, about 270 kilometers away, there is a city called Nagoya Castle.

Nagoya used to be the castle town of Owari Tokugawa, a famous industrial city in history.

When the war was launched that year, a considerable part of the weapons and equipment was contributed here.

Because it is the center of commerce, industry, education, and transportation in the central part of the country, and it is located between Tokyo and Kyoto, it is also called "Chukyo".

In 1610, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first general of the Tokugawa family, built a huge castle here, and later developed into the largest city in the East China Sea.

This is the top priority of the Tokugawa shogunate, it can almost be said to be the land of dragon prosperity.

Such an important place has already been taken by Zhao Dading.

This is the bridgehead for attacking the Tokugawa shogunate, and Zhao Dading hoarded [-] troops here.

From here to the west, all were captured by Zhao Dading.

According to the previous plan, winning here is equivalent to winning Edo.

But Zhao Dading was not in a hurry to march, but used this as a threat to accelerate the internal friction of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Several days later, Zhao Dading brought Li Dingguo, Wei Xian and others here to feel the Japanese style.

Because the occupied area has been replaced with Han style, and only here retains a certain Japanese style.

The city wall of Nagoya is not as high as those in China, but very short. Li Dingguo stood on the city wall with a lot of contempt on his face.

"This kind of small city is not as good as the Wubao built by those big families in my hometown!" Li Dingguo said.

This made the people standing next to him laugh out loud.

Zhao Dading patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's true, but please forgive me, after all, he's not that tall either!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Suddenly at this time, a staff officer came behind Zhao Dading.

"General, there is a team of thousands of people who want to surrender. The leader is Fushimi-san, and most of them are warriors." The staff officer said.

Zhao Dading has long been familiar with the strangeness. Recently, many people from the Tokugawa shogunate came to surrender.

"Let's deal with it according to the previous method!" Zhao Dading said.

The staff officer took Zhao Dading's order and walked on.

Looking at Li Dingguo and the others, Zhao Da decided to rely on teaching.

"Just now, Yebu received a report that a group of samurai from the Tokugawa shogunate surrendered. What do you think?" Zhao Dading asked.

Everyone fell silent.

It's hard to answer this question, it has to be combined with the current situation and Sun Jie's previous policies.

Not long after, a cruel smile appeared on Li Dingguo's face.

Zhao Dading saw the change on his face, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Li Dingguo said: "General, the Wa people who surrendered should be divided into two categories, one is ordinary people, and these people can adopt the method of assimilation.

Another category, Japanese warriors, I think, can be trained as an army! "

These words were extremely bold, and directly stunned those people around them.

They did not expect that Li Dingguo would say such a thing.

Wei Xian retorted: "It doesn't make any sense for these people to form an army. Our army is powerful and we don't need any servants!"

"Indeed, these Japanese people are crazy people to the extreme, it's best to let them work as laborers!"

"These people have no value at all!"

The surrounding graduates of the Great Qin Military Academy said one after another.

These Daqin Military Academy graduates are the pride of heaven and idealists.

There is no doubt that their personal qualities are strong, but they are too young and too ideal.

Compared with people like Li Dingguo, there is less evil in him.

As a soldier, be righteous to yourself and evil to the enemy.

To do it, in order to achieve the goal, it can be done at any cost.

Zhao Dading saw something extraordinary from Li Dingguo, not limited to dogma.

"How to say?" Zhao Dading asked.

"General, I think so. Your Majesty's iron cavalry is invincible in the world. It is no problem to take down the whole world, but the world is very big and there are many ethnic groups. It will be very difficult to govern at that time.

Among them, killing is indispensable, if the heavenly soldiers are allowed to kill, it is against the harmony of heaven, let alone killing is against the way of heaven..."

Li Dingguo's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Zhao Dading's gaze was like a knife, staring straight at him.

The meaning of these words is very obvious, which is to let these Japanese people suppress rebellious civilians everywhere.

Let them kill at will, kill at will.

Treat them like a knife, use them when they work well, and discard them when they don't.

Anyway, they are not domestic soldiers, and no one will say anything.

The world will be peaceful in the future, and if someone turns this matter up, they can still make up for their crimes.

It would be better to hand over all those dirty things to them.

Zhao Dading has been fighting for so many years, of course he can understand what's going on here.

In fact, Sun Jie had instilled this in Zhao Dading before.

It's just that this kind of thing is a secret, and only Sun Jie and Zhao Dading were present at the time.

If this was figured out by Li Dingguo himself, then his ability is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people.

"Hahaha, you are really bold!"

Zhao Dading laughed out loud and left immediately.

It didn't say good or bad, which made everyone confused.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Dading took Li Dingguo into the surrender camp.

This is a place specially built by Zhao Dading to accommodate surrendered troops.

Standing at the door, Zhao Dading looked at Li Dingguo, "Did you think what you said yesterday, or did someone tell you?"

Li Dingguo shook his head, "I am from Yeluzi, although I can get along well with the graduates of the Daqin Military Academy, but many ideas are incompatible.

The lecture hall of the military academy is upright, and defeated with integrity.I was born in poverty, and was chased and killed by the former Ming officials back then. In order to survive, I have used such inhuman methods as feigning surrender, let alone other things! "

"Speaking of it, I'm similar to you. I was a side soldier of the former Ming Dynasty. When I went to the battlefield, I didn't think about making meritorious deeds to kill the enemy, but saving my life.

Your previous thoughts are very satisfying to me.I brought you here today to test your abilities.

There are [-] Japanese soldiers in the Jiangbing Battalion, including [-] samurai. I will give you a month. If you can train a combat-capable team, I will personally ask His Majesty for credit.

In the future, guarding overseas may not be possible without you.Do it well! "

Zhao Dading patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said earnestly.
