042 Northern Expedition (1)
042
It seems that Milan is not an orchid......
Therefore, the "Zhilan" in "Confucius's Family Sayings" does not seem to refer to Milan flowers.
By the way, let's talk about why the author built another castle instead of using Tamba Kameyama Castle as a base as in history.
In terms of topography, Tanba Kameyama Castle is more suitable for the passage between and San'in, and because it is blocked by mountains in the south, it is not suitable for the passage of Yin and Yang.
And the new city I set it at the tripartite junction of and Yin and Yang.
Because the protagonist will not only face San'in Dao in the future, but also in Sanyang Dao and Shikoku, there are many things waiting for him to do......
In any case, Milan City has officially broken ground, and Wise Chang'an has roughly estimated that it is expected to be completed in the following year, and the scale is expected to be slightly larger than Sakamoto City.
When I think of this, not only Keiji Maeda and others, but even I can't help but feel a little excited when I have seen the big world in my previous life.
A city represents the strength of a person!
Sakamoto Castle is already big, bigger than it......
The wise family, who has a territory of more than 200,000 stones, is indeed a powerful daimyo now, even in the Mino era, the territory of the wise family is only 50,000 stones in the wise castle (Changshan Castle), and you have to look at the faces of the Toki family and the Saito family at any time.
Well, now that we have such a large territory (although not as big as Sakuma Nobumori, who commanded Southern, and Shibata Katsuie, who commanded 900,000 koku in Hokuriku), we are already considered to be the number one daimyo in the world, and even Oda Nobunaga will look at us differently.
Affected by this, in the past three months, the big guys have been in a good mood, and they are all very motivated to do things.
Until one day in October.
On that day, Oda Nobunaga's order came down again.
Defeat the Tango Isshiki clan!
It's a bit complicated to say.
We have to start with the Tajima clan who has already surrendered.
After unifying most of Tajima, Yamana and his son marched westward to defeat the Inaba Yamana clan.
Although Inaba's Yamana Toyokuni is also a bit capable, he has no choice but to have a long time in the hands of the ministers, and all military operations are completely out of his control.
After several defeats, Toyokuni Yamana had no choice but to ask for help from his neighbors to the west.
At this time, in the western country, with the support of the Mori family, the Ukita Naoke family, who had unified the Mimasaka country, completely extended the magic hand to the lord Urakami family.
The Urakami family couldn't hold out for long, so Urakami Munekei had to bend down and go to Kyoto to ask Oda Nobunaga for help.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga also slowly realized that on the Sanyo Road, relying on these "little miscellaneous fish" would not be able to stop the menacing Maori family.
I don't know which huge and fat praying mantis exists, and it actually makes a small change in the wheel of history.
So, two years earlier than in history.
In August of the fourth year of Tensho (1576), the Oda family formed an alliance with the Urakami family.
At the same time, Oda Nobunaga took the monkey (Hashiba Hideyoshi) as the general and appointed him as the guardian of Harima and Bizen, and led nearly 10,000 men and horses to the west.
At this time, most of Harima was tilted towards the Mori clan, so the monkeys had to engage in a tug-of-war in Harima.
As for Bizen, because of Harima's barrier, the monkeys couldn't get over for a while.
Although Oda Nobunaga couldn't leave people alone, he couldn't help them for a while, so he had to provide material assistance along the Seto Inland Sea.
But that's not the way to go.
Let's talk about the mountain name Toyokoku, the Maori family is really "righteous", after getting his distress signal, Yoshikawa Motoharu's younger brother Hoida Motokiyoshi immediately led 8,000 men and horses to kill Inaba country violently.
The fourth child born in Maori Yuan, although not as famous as his three elder brothers, is also a little capable.
Soon, he led the Maori army to defeat Yamana's army in the Battle of Takakusa, and then, in the Battle of Kano, he killed Yamana Yutoyo's son, Yamanata.
After two major defeats, the old fox Yamana Yutoyo, who lost his son, had to retreat eastward, but at this time, the unforgiving Mori family did not stop, and pursued all the way into Tajima Province.
Yutoyo Yamana struggled to resist and asked Oda Nobunaga for help.
Oda Nobunaga was about to take action, but unexpectedly, Tango had an accident again!
Isshiki Yoshimichi, who was already an avatar, saw the turmoil on the San'in Dao, and his mind began to come alive.
So he, who had already hooked up with the Maori family, ignored the opposition of his ministers, erected a banner depicting the Maori family crest at the head of Jianbu Mountain Castle, and officially announced his break with Oda Nobunaga!
Oda Nobunaga can stand this breath, besides, the Isshiki clan was originally a branch of the Ashikaga clan, and the people who had a relationship with Ashikaga Yoshiaki back then are hated when they think about it now.
So, in late September, he appointed his father as the guardian of Tango, attacked north, attacked the Isshiki clan, and ordered Niwa Nagahide and Ikeda Nobuyuki, who had returned to, to attack Tango from the east to the west again, along Wakasa Province.
So the life that finally calmed down was broken again......
"I don't know, what kind of wind is that old thing of Isshiki Yidao? How dare you do such a thing! ”
Hosokawa Tadayuki's equestrian skills are becoming more and more proficient, and he is riding a horse with a weed in his mouth that comes from nowhere.
In this "Northern Expedition", Hosokawa Fujitaka was responsible for the work of "Zhenguo" again "without accident", and his living treasure son also got the opportunity to go with me "without accident".
At this time, the two of us led the reserve team and walked at the back of the team, responsible for the work of the palace army.
I've always wondered if Hosokawa Tadashi is Hosokawa's biological son (of course, this must not be asked).
My temper is very similar to that of my father, and I am also a very low-key person who does not talk much. In the same way, Kerra is the same as his father Kerra Hideemon, and Maeda Keiji may be an exception, and he does not say that his character was influenced by his uncle, Maeda Toshiie, who was called "Owari Big Fool" with Oda Nobunaga when he was young.
(It's surprising to see that Maeda Toshiya was also this "non-mainstream look" when he was young, let's go and see "Rika and Matsu", which is very detailed)
There is only Hosokawa Tadashiko, and I don't know who influenced his virtue.
Hosokawa Fujitaka is self-cultivation, needless to say.
And the people of the Hosokawa family generally have good tutors, and even the servants who sweep the floor are very polite.
Hosokawa Tadashi is alone, giggling all day long, not serious.
"There is a kind of person in this world called 'adventurer',"
I had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well all night, so I yawned a lot in the morning.
"Isshiki Yoshido has not been treated by the main hall for a long time, although the main hall still allows him to occupy the position of 'Tango Guardian', but everyone can see that this seat will be given up sooner or later, plus the relationship between the Isshiki family and the Ashikaga family, do you think the main hall will let him go?"
I'm lazy, and sure enough, it's a "good sleep in the hot summer".
"No wonder......"
Hosokawa Tadashi said thoughtfully: "If I were Isshiki Yoshiki, I would definitely do the same!" ”……
"Report to the main hall, ten miles ahead, the son of Isshiki Yidao led a total of 7,000 people from the wealthy clans of Dango, and they have been waiting for a battle, and it seems that they have the intention of winning or losing with their own family, and they also ask the princess to decide."
A ninja wearing an octagonal ninja helmet and a barrel carcass immediately returned after inquiring into the details ahead, and came to my father, the commander-in-chief, Akechi Mitsuhide, and reported loudly.
Oh, I see, have you ever found out how many troops the Isshiki Army has? ”
It's really funny that Akechi Mitsuhide heard that Isshiki Yoshiki and those wealthy clans of Tango were not going back to defend the city, and they were actually preparing to fight a field battle with him.
The scale of the Kenbu mountain castle is not large, but the structure is extremely complete, in the past when the Isshiki clan and the Takeda clan fought for power in Tango, the Kenbu mountain castle has been through many wars, but after many wars to rebuild, its defense system has become very mature.
Miyake Miheiji, who was standing beside Akechi Mitsuhide, smiled coldly.
"I don't know if it's these wealthy families, I don't know how many catties and taels I actually have, or if I'm too arrogant, with a mere 7,000 troops, I dare to run to my family to die!."
"Yes, Miyake-sama has a point,"
Wise Guangzhong also chimed in:
"The Isshiki family is sending them to death, 7,000 troops, and more than half of them are peasant soldiers, doesn't he still think that he has hope of victory?"
"Hope is definitely not,"
Yamazaki Nagatoku on the side was also full of excitement.
"But then again, my lord, since they insist on looking for death, then why don't we fulfill them, and be willing to serve as a vanguard officer and take the heads of Isshiki father and son for you!"
"My lord, I am also willing to serve as a pioneer ......"
"Lord ......"
Everyone's emotions were quickly ignited.
However, unlike everyone's excitement, Akechi Mitsuhide's expression has not changed, and it is still his usual appearance of being unwavering.
"Got it, you continue to the front to observe the enemy's movements, and if there is anything new, return to report immediately."
"Yes, the Great Hall!"
With that, Akechi Mitsuhide stopped paying attention to the ninja who was walking away quickly, and began to ponder.
Could it be that the old guy of Isshiki Yidao is really old and confused?
With only more than 7,000 troops swaggering in front of them, didn't they know that the Wise Banner and the Iron Artillery Corps were much more powerful than the peasant soldiers under their command?
No, no, Isshiki Yoshido is not such a simple character, but he relied on some means to take back the dominance of Tango from the hands of the Takeda family, and he was able to stand tall in the face of the double pressure of the Asakura family and the Hatano family for a long time.
I would never believe that he would do such a stupid thing.
And also
Isshiki Yoshido did not personally command the battle in the army, but handed over all the military power to his son Isshiki Yoshiki, what did he want to do? There must be fraud in this, and it will definitely not be that simple! It's better to be careful.
"Go and call Kogoro over!"
Akechi Mitsuhide commanded at Miyake Yaheiji.
"Yes!"
(There is another chapter in the evening, so let me think about it slowly and how to arrange the plot...... Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, I thank you)
