The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

The rebellion of the Yamada family is not alone. In the entire Dewa country, incidents similar to this kind of vassal rebellion, samurai rebellion, and the extermination of local wealthy families have emerged one after another.

In just ten days, under the order of the entire Dewa National Bond, all the samurai in the wealthy families launched a rebellion.

The rebellion was surprisingly successful, due to most of the rich families in the country. After such a long period of replacement, their warriors have already become disciples from the Lingtian Dojo, with more subtle inheritance and stronger strength.

Therefore, the force possessed by these powerful families has basically become the force possessed by the dojo.

Therefore, when the dojo betrayed these powerful families, the resistance of these powerful families was equivalent to five, and they could basically be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Of course, these wealthy families did not mean that they were all wiped out at once, and some of them escaped and survived.

Zhong Yu's control over all the people in the dojo is not absolute. After all, his time is short and his strength is insufficient, so it is difficult to implement effective control methods over those disciples.

Now, the reason why these dojo disciples are loyal to him is only because of his kindness in teaching them and Zhong Yu's own strong strength.

In addition, Zhong Yu's layout has been completely completed now, and the trend of sweeping the three northeastern countries is already unstoppable. Anyone standing in front will be crushed by this trend.

So some of those disciples may be dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dare not show it, they can only obey. This is being coerced by the general trend, unable to control oneself, and having to do things against one's wishes.

The entire Dewa country can barely be considered a large-scale family, and it can be called a wealthy family.

From the daimyo who sever several counties to the local tyrant who owns a village, there are more than two hundred families, large and small.

With so many families, it is naturally impossible to destroy them all at once.

After Zhong Yu's plan started, more than ten families survived.

Or because of the awareness in advance, the rebellion in the family was extinguished. Or simply because the pawns who were not in their family rebelled, betrayed Zhong Yu and provided these families with information, so that they had certain precautions.

In short, there are such a few families that survived.

However, even if they escaped for a while, it would be difficult for them to cause any storms, and they just jumped a little longer to cause Zhong Yu more trouble.

There are no exceptions to the families that can escape, all of them are small and medium-sized families with more than a hundred soldiers, or hundreds of people.

The real big family has thousands of soldiers and horses. They have been taken care of by Zhong Yu long ago. I don't know how many chess pieces have been arranged in the family, and they have been infiltrated clean.

So after the rebellion, these big families were the first to be unlucky, and they were destroyed almost instantly because of the focus of attention.

As for the remaining small families who escaped with their lives, there were no more than a hundred soldiers and horses in the whole family, and there were no more than a few hundred people in the sky. Adding it all up, I don't know if there are two or three thousand people, let alone scattered in various places, it is difficult to form a unified trend.

With such meager strength, there are not many samurai in their family, so how could they resist Zhong Yu's 4000 samurai legion whose strength is above the second level in Deyu country.

Not to mention that Zhong Yu, in addition to the 4,000 second-tier and above warrior legions, has a larger number of first-tier ordinary troops reaching 10,000.

How could such a huge elite force be resisted by a mere two or three thousand mob.

So regarding the survival of these families, Zhong Yu just looked at the news and put it aside, ordered the samurai army next to those families to destroy them nearby, and then completely forgot about them.

He has more important things to do now.

After the successful rebellion in Dewa country, Zhong Yu turned his attention to the two countries next to Dewa country.

In Echigo country and Mutsu country, although the strength of the dojo is very strong and has penetrated into various local wealthy families, the dojo's control over these two countries is far less than that of Deyu country.

Not to mention that the strength of these two countries is far greater than that of the Yu country, and the dojo's penetration of the two countries has not been as long as the Yu country.

So even though Zhong Yu knew the strength of the dojo, if they were all mobilized, they would be able to form a powerful force that swept across the two countries and crushed everything in an instant.

However, Zhong Yu was still a little apprehensive and worried about whether it was possible to completely pacify the local tyrants of the two countries and truly control the two countries in the hands of the dojo.

Sure enough, after the rebellion in the dojo, the retainers of most of the rich families in the two countries rebelled, and they killed their original patriarchs very smoothly, and controlled the territories of those local tyrants in the hands of the dojo.

But there are still many local tyrant families, because the strength of the families themselves is extremely strong, even if the samurai present launched a rebellion, it is impossible to destroy them all at once.

The two sides either fell into a stalemate, or simply the samurai in the dojo were strangled.

The rebellion plans of the two countries did not go smoothly, and there were some minor changes.

The strength of the dojo is strong, and they are connected with each other and echo each other from a distance. They wiped out most of the local tyrants in the two countries at once, and connected their respective territories into one.

And some local tyrants found out about the rebellion, or the dojo samurai defected. In short, for various reasons, they survived.

Then, angry and terrified, they recruited soldiers and horses in the territory one after another, gathered under their respective cities, and prepared to resist to the death.

At the same time, they also sent ninjas and spies from their respective families to investigate in the territories of local tyrants all over the country, hoping to find allies and support each other, so as to avoid falling into the situation of fighting alone.

Therefore, when the rebellion broke out in January, the domestic chaos in the two countries had completely subsided, and a relatively stable situation had generally taken shape.

After a month of melee rebellion, and the suppression of the rebellion, or the dojo sent troops to conquer the local tyrants, the local tyrants counterattacked the dojo.

The domestic forces of the two countries can be said to have annexed and merged with each other, and finally formed two forces.

First of all, it is naturally the dojo. Because of the preparations in advance and the unstoppable power of its own, it controlled almost 3/4 of the territory of the two countries at once.

Moreover, more than 4/5 of the high-level samurai-level forces in the two countries have taken refuge in the dojo. It can almost be said that more than 80% of the power in the two countries has been controlled by the dojo.

And the remaining local tyrants control the 20% of the power.

Perhaps because these local tyrants are located in a remote place, the radiating range of the dojo's influence has not yet reached there, and they are a little beyond their reach, so they temporarily saved their lives.

Or, relying on the mountain and relying on the danger, they have mastered the terrain that is relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack, making the dojo difficult to destroy for a while, and survived.

There are also some families, because their own strength is really strong, relying directly on the strength of the family itself, they block the attack of the dojo outside the door of the house, and they forcibly stand firm. Their strength should not be underestimated.

These families are the real headaches for the dojo.

Because of their not-so-weak strength, coupled with the fact that the two sides are already inexhaustible, a big battle is destined to happen.

But when the dojo wiped them out, casualties were unavoidable, and the casualties were quite heavy.

With concern, the dojo temporarily shelved them.
