Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After declaring war in March 1906, Tokugawa Yoshiji ordered Koizumi Jiro to retreat from Shikoku Island and act as a sharp knife to break through Tokugawa Keiji's defense line.

After receiving the order, Koizumi Jiro did not waste any time. He gathered the troops overnight and boarded the ship in Kochi. After a day and night of sailing, he finally landed in Miyazaki.

Then Jiro Koizumi made great progress.

1906年3月4号，小泉次郎登陆宫崎，3月6号就抵达了虾野。

Then continue to advance northward and arrive near Kumamoto on March 3, and launch an attack on Kumamoto.

Stationed in Kumamoto was a brigade of the Tokugawa Army's Third Division.

Facing the menacing Koizumi Division, this brigade chose to defend Kumamoto.

But in front of the Koizumi Division, which has a large number of artillery, defending is tantamount to suicide.

Soon Kumamoto's outer defense line was breached, and Koizumi's division successfully entered Kumamoto Castle.

The troupe stationed in Kumamoto requested tactical guidance from Tokugawa Keiji overnight.

Tokugawa Keiji did not dare to delay, so he dispatched his elite Second Division, which was the Eighth Division that had surrendered in the Sekiwa area before.

Although the name has been changed, the combat effectiveness of this division is still very guaranteed.

According to the news from Daxia, since the Second Division went south, Koizumi Jiro felt that he still needed to entertain them.

Therefore, Koizumi Jiro left a brigade to continue the siege of Kumamoto. He took the remaining troops to bypass Kumamoto and blocked the second division in Aishi City, north of Kumamoto.

On March 3, Koizumi Jiro came into contact with the Second Division. From the beginning, Koizumi Jiro became ruthless and directly suppressed the Second Division.

Since Koizumi Jiro received the support of Daxia, there were many weapons in his team that were replaced by Daxia during the Second Fall War.

This gave the people of the Second Division a sudden illusion, as if they were fighting in Daxia.

If it weren't for Koizumi Jiro, he would still be a short man, not the burly height of a Daxia soldier. Maybe the Second Division had already run away.

After blocking the first wave of attacks by the Second Division, Koizumi Jiro ordered an active attack and began to attack the Second Division's defense line.

This is not because Jiro Koizumi is arrogant, but because the Second Division has just arrived at this time, and not even a complete front has been constructed.

The second division is a temporary defense line, and it can't stop the impact of Koizumi's division? For a time, the Second Division suffered heavy losses and began to retreat.

After defeating the Second Division, Koizumi Jiro did not continue the pursuit, but returned to Kumamoto.

He planned to occupy Kumamoto first and then talk about other things.

Moreover, Daxia also told him that he hoped he could play slower.

Since the Koizumi Division has a strong record, Tokugawa Keiji cannot be defeated any faster.

Now both Daxia and Koizumi Jiro know that this is the best moment for them to seize the power of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Only by letting the entire Tokugawa destroy Kyushu Island to pieces would he, Koizumi Jiro, have a chance.

So, after spending another five days clearing out the remaining enemies in the city, Koizumi Jiro stopped directly in Kumamoto.

Tokugawa Yoshiji was still dissatisfied with Koizumi Jiro's stoppage of the attack, so he issued several orders asking Koizumi Jiro to continue the attack.

However, Koizumi Jiro refused, saying that his troops had just experienced a bloody battle and they needed to rest.

At the same time, Koizumi Jiro told Tokugawa the good deeds and asked him to fulfill the various weapons and ammunition supplies and material rewards he had promised as soon as possible.

But at this time, when Tokugawa Yoshihiro faced the request of Koizumi Jiro, he did a stupid thing.

Logically speaking, since you have agreed upon the terms with the person from the beginning, if you need the other person to work for you, should you be nicer to others?

How can there be such a thing as wanting a horse to run but not giving it grass to eat?

But I don’t know that Tokugawa Yoshihiko became a little bit distracted when he saw that his side was winning in all aspects.

Anyway, it was Tokugawa Yoshiji who rejected Koizumi Jiro's request and reprimanded Koizumi Jiro for delaying the fight, asking him to continue the march immediately and at the same time let Kumamoto out.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand Tokugawa's thoughts on doing good deeds.

After all, he comes from a famous family, so he naturally has his eyes set higher than his head. At the same time, he also despised Koizumi Jiro's origin.

I feel that he is a businessman, and now that I have given him a chance to prove himself, he should be grateful.

After all, this is how the previous Tokugawa shogunate treated those at the bottom.

But Tokugawa Yinshi forgot one thing, that is, times have changed.

In this era, whoever holds the gun has the right to speak.

Obviously, Koizumi Jiro's gun barrel is now thicker than Tokugawa Yoshihiro's.

Moreover, it is now obvious that Tokugawa is unreasonable in his actions. So Koizumi Jiro felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

On March 3, Koizumi Jiro, who had been in Kumamoto for half a month, publicly accused Tokugawa of betrayal.

At the same time, it was announced that Koizumi was trying to stand on his own feet and recover his own interests.

Hearing this public accusation from Jiro Koizumi, not only Tokugawa Yoshihiro was a little confused, but Tokugawa Keiji was also the same.

But then, Tokugawa Keiji burst into ecstasy.

What he fears most is the Koizumi Division. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Koizumi Division lies there.

But now, the Koizumi Division suddenly broke with Tokugawa Yoshihiro, which gave Tokugawa Keiji a glimmer of hope.

He quickly sent people to contact Koizumi Jiro, but the result was that the people he sent were directly imprisoned by Koizumi Jiro.

At this time, even Tokugawa Keiji said that he was a little confused.

On April 4, Koizumi's division suddenly left Kumamoto and began to march towards Miyazaki City, the headquarters of Tokugawa Zenshi.

Frightened, Tokugawa Yoshiji quickly mobilized troops from Saeki to stop Koizumi Jiro.

But the problem is, even the most elite Second Division cannot defeat the Koizumi Division. What combat effectiveness do these temporarily transferred teams have?

So it only took two days for Koizumi Jiro to break through the defense line deployed by Tokugawa Zenji and approach Miyazaki.

At this time, Tokugawa Zenshi was a little panicked, and his first thought was to escape from Kyushu Island.

Because he knew that with his small force, he could not defeat Jiro Koizumi at all.

And Tokugawa Keiji also wanted him dead.

To put it simply, Tokugawa Zenshi found out that Kyushu Island suddenly had no place for him.

Moreover, he had offended Meiji before, and it was unrealistic to run to Meiji now.

Therefore, Tokugawa Zenji planned to go to John's country first, then develop it, and then make a comeback.

John also agreed.

But at this moment, Daxia suddenly issued an announcement. The general meaning is that the situation on Kyushu Island is complicated now.

In order to end this regrettable war as soon as possible, Daxia decided to blockade the entire Sakura Islands.

Anyone who dares to cross the blockade privately will be regarded as a provocation to Daxia.

Such a provocation would most likely trigger Daxia's retaliation.

Such acts of retaliation include, but are not limited to, means of war.
