Chapter 887: Attacking North Korea (12)
I can't say whether Oda Yoshinobu's way of educating children is correct, but this is the way of education in troubled times, in troubled times, there is not so much time for you to grow, either grow up quickly, or be stifled before you grow, there are almost no other options.
But isn't Oda Yoshinobu really worried? Naturally, it couldn't be, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a lot of ninjas and death gods to his sons.
At the beginning of October, the news from all over Heian Road made Li Huamei and the other women completely relieved, and although Oda Nobumasa and others still made some small mistakes, on the whole, they were already a qualified samurai.
On October 10, at this time, Yiju had become a fortified city under the construction of Oda Yoshinobu. Oda Yoshinobu believed that even if Ming really intended to intervene in his war with Korea, Oda Yoshinobu would be able to use Yishu to keep Ming out of Korea.
As for the Navy? Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, the navy of the Ming Kingdom has basically no advantages at all since the sea ban. If it was against the ships used by the Japanese coastal forces in history, it was fine, but against the improved Galen ships......
And with the passage of time, good news from all over the country continued to send to Uiju, and in the face of the onslaught of the Oda army, although new rebels continued to emerge in Korea, they were just mantis arms blocking the car, and they were just vulnerable. However, the Ming reinforcements that the Korean people were looking forward to still did not appear.
The reason is very simple, all the envoys of the Korean country were intercepted by the navy led by Da Zhu Tsuru and the ninja army led by the three sons of Hyakuchi. The only news received from the Ming side was that a large number of Japanese navies had appeared in the waters of Korea, and all ships were prohibited from passing.
This news was transmitted back by the maritime merchants of the Ming Kingdom, and soon after it was spread, it was known to local officials, and although the officials were confused about it, they still sent people to sort out these rumors and report them to the imperial court. And by the time the Ming court received the news, it was already early October.
Speaking of which, Oda Yoshinobu himself didn't expect that the Ming Kingdom would not react for so long, although he vaguely remembered that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the Korean Kingdom in history, the Ming Kingdom also took a long time to send troops. But at that time, after all, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who directly launched the attack, at most, he only sent someone to persuade him to surrender first.
And now, Japan and Korea have first broken out contradictions that are difficult to ease, but the Ming country is still slow to move, how can this not make Oda Yoshinobu strange? And even if there is no movement in the Ming court, in his opinion, the officers and soldiers guarding Liaodong should also receive the news here.
However, when a force appeared near Yishu, Oda Yoshinobu seemed to guess why the Liaodong officers and soldiers had not appeared.
"Troops that seem to be on the run?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the three sons of Hyakchi with a strange expression, especially when he heard the description of the three sons of Hyakchi about that army, his face became even more strange.
"Nomads!" Oda Yoshinobu deduced it only by relying on the three words of the three sons of the three sons of the Hundred Grounds. Well, that's fine, after all, nomads have always been very distinct. Especially in the territory of Liaodong, in addition to the nomads, there are only Han people.
"Order the troops, go with me!" Although it is not known which tribe this nomad tribe belongs to, this does not prevent Oda Yoshinobu from wanting to go for a while. After all, the nomadic army in the mouth of the third prince of Baidi seems to be on the run, and the only people who can let them flee in Liaodong are the officers and soldiers of Liaodong.
Oda Yoshinobu only took Maeda Keiji, Honda Tadakatsu and 2,000 cavalry under his command out of Yoshishu, and under the guidance of the ninja who found the news, he quickly chased after him.
"Looking at the direction, it seems that he is planning to flee to the northeast...... "Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself, he didn't know who lived there in this era, but he knew that it must be a nomad." Interesting......" Oda thought confidently.
Not long after, Oda Yoshinobu had already led people to catch up with the fleeing troops, Oda Yoshinobu stopped on horseback, and with a wave of his hand, he surrounded the troops in front of him, and then looked at this army slowly.
There were not many of them, about a thousand, but almost all of them, except for the old, weak, women and children, seemed to be brave, and their eyes revealed a fierce look. Although he was surrounded by Oda Yoshinobu's cavalry, there was not the slightest fear on his face. Or rather, they are more confused at this time. But it's no wonder, after all, the dress of Oda Yoshinobu's army can't be linked to the Ming Kingdom or the surrounding forces.
In the middle of this army, an old man was protected by a group of people, behind it, a group of female dependents and a number of carriages. Well, although it is a refugee, it seems that this dude is not willing to leave behind his wealth and beauty.
Just as Oda Yoshinobu was looking at this force, over there, the old man was also constantly looking at Oda Yoshinobu and the others. It's a pity that after watching it for a long time, he didn't guess where Oda Yoshinobu's troops came from. But this is not to blame him, after all, Japan has experienced more than a hundred years of war, and the Japanese only appear in coastal cities, which is too strange for them in the interior.
"Wang Gao, the Jurchen leader in Xia Jianzhou, I don't know what Your Excellency wants to stop us and others in their way?" Wang Gao shouted respectfully.
"This old man's Chinese language is good~" Oda Yoshinobu thought secretly when he heard this, although he had some accents, it was also standard, "It's nothing, just come and take a look." Oda Yoshinobu replied casually.
Hearing this, Wang Gao's face suddenly darkened, come and take a look? Is there a reason to be so fucked up? And what does it mean to surround them?
However, Oda Yoshinobu didn't bother to explain this, after all, this was the most critical time to attack Korea, and he didn't want any chaos. "Tie them up for me and bring them back to the city!" Oda Yoshinobu ordered directly.
"Your Excellency! Seeing that you are not a lackey of the Ming Kingdom, why bother me with waiting?! "Oda Yoshinobu gave an order in Chinese, and Wang Gao was anxious when he heard it. After all, the origin of this force in front of him is unknown, and he really doesn't want to clash with it.
"Hehe~ It turned out to be the enemy of the Ming Kingdom~ That's better~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this, and then waved his hand, and Maeda Keiji and Honda Tadakatsu immediately led the crowd to rush forward.
"Fight with them!" Wang Gao immediately shouted when he saw this, but he was ready to smear the oil under his feet. Although he had never seen this army, they had been on the run for a long time at this time, so where did they have the strength to confront this force?
It's a pity that with Oda Yoshinobu here, how could he run away?
