Four thousand troops were quickly assembled. These soldiers were originally the elders of the Daheyuan family. They all had good physical fitness, but they only lacked a good training method. After being trained by some soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, these people's combat effectiveness increased by about 30%. Although they still used the original cold weapons, it can be seen from their eyes that these people are all elite.
When Lord Suzuki came out of the tent, Ohkawa Gensaburo had already set off with these people. From this, it can be seen that this guy is really eager to make a contribution and can't wait even a minute.
Lord Suzuki couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment. He had obviously followed Li Xiang and extended his claws to the people in the country, but deep in his heart he still retained some Japanese ideas. He knew that his idea might not be right, but he often thought in this unnatural way.
I hope that this tax crisis will pass quickly and that no more people will die. If more people die, then Fuso will need managers like them even less. Once this place becomes a deadly place, according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea, their status will definitely decline further.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats the officials of the Tang Dynasty with an attitude that cannot be said to be like a spring breeze, but at least he can give them many opportunities. However, when it comes to treating the officials of Fuso, basically you only have this one chance. If you fail to handle this one thing well, you will have no chance to move up in the future, as your path to advancement has been blocked by you.
Take Suzuki Nakatasu for example, he has made mistakes on several occasions, so Your Highness still keeps him because there is no one else who can fit the position. If there was a second person who could fit the position, do you think you would still be wasting food here?
Ohkawa Gensaburo marched towards Ueno Prefecture with great momentum. Li Xiang soon learned the news. Li Xiang was very satisfied with Ohkawa Gensaburo's performance. Although this guy's ability was not very good, his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was definitely the highest, no less than Kato Jiro.
The local officials were about to come to the capital, and they were also worried about their own safety, so they sent a group of spies in advance. These people had already settled down in the capital. When Ohkawa Gensaburo's army set off, these people immediately became like frightened birds, lying in the cracks of the windows and looking at the army outside.
This was also Li Xiang's special request. They had to pass through the entire Fusang capital and then go from the southwest to the northeast. In fact, according to their best route, they didn't need to pass through the capital at all. But if they didn't pass through the capital, how could you let these people in the city know what you were going to do?
Okawa Gensaburo's army was small, and in just half a cup of tea, his army had already passed through the capital. As for what this army was going to do, many people in the city were discussing it.
"Didn't they say that all the other armies were wiped out? Who on earth has offended the Great Tang's Crown Prince?"
A small businessman said while eating that he had no idea how much foreign matter was mixed into the dumplings in his hand. He had to drink several gulps of cold water with every bite. If he didn't drink more water, he would not be able to eat it at all. The Tang Dynasty occupation army had issued a notice that Fuso people without red names could not eat fine grains.
"Don't you want to live anymore? You're still calling me His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, you can no longer say such things. You can only call me His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Tang Dynasty. If you continue to make similar distinctions between the Tang Dynasty and Fusang, even the gods can't save you."
An old man next to him went up and smacked his head. This old man didn't pay attention when he spoke yesterday. He just said that they were the Tang Dynasty army. As a result, he was heard by the Fuso soldiers patrolling the streets. He was directly dragged away to do hard labor for a whole day. He was so tired today that he could hardly straighten his back.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this for now. Just keep an eye on it. What on earth is General Ohkawa Gensaburo doing? He doesn't look like he's carrying out an ordinary training mission. He's filled with murderous intent."
Another man who looked like a coolie said that there was less and less work in the city now, so they could only look for work outside the city. However, if they were caught by the Tang army, they would immediately have to work for them for free for three days. Although they would be provided with food during these three days, the food they ate was harder than stone.
"That direction is Ueno Prefecture."
The old man thought for a while and said, then he slapped his forehead, General Okawahara might have gone to visit relatives. After all, Lord Ueno was a relative of General Okawahara, and everyone knew this. I remember that when they came to the capital to pay homage before, the two of them went in and out together.
"Get lost! If you were visiting your relatives, would you be able to bring so many people with you? Those people were carrying a large number of siege weapons just now. Are you really visiting relatives?"
A little girl selling fruit with a basket on her shoulder even spoke up.
In the past, a little girl like this would not come to the street to sell things, but now there is no way. All the young people in the family died in the war, and only an old father is left lying at home. If they don’t sell the fruits from their own trees, the father and daughter may starve to death.
"That little girl is right. He was clearly carrying a siege ladder just now. If he was going to visit relatives, why would he bring something like that? Could it be that Lord Ueno offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask General Ohga Gen to attack him?"
The young man who was eating at the beginning thought about it and said it casually. He did not think that this matter was true. After all, General Ohkawa Gen and Lord Ueno were in-laws, and the relationship between the two was very good. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to beat him, it was impossible for General Ohkawa Gen to lead the troops.
But the speaker may not be interested, but the listener is. After the young man finished speaking, everyone present actually nodded. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very thoughtful. Perhaps he was using this method to test General Da Heyuan and also to show the other local officials...
Of course, they were all ordinary people, and the common people couldn't guess that it was because of the tax issue. After the army set out, Lord Ueno's servant released a carrier pigeon. In Fuso, carrier pigeons have been used for a long time, but it didn't say that General Ohkawa Gen's target was Ueno's territory...
