Chapter 174 White Rise Combine Harvester
"Won!"
When Toyotomi Hideyori heard the news, he was staring at the map with a worried brow, wondering if he could still be as heroic as his father if he didn't look for his men. Even his personal guard troops, under the ravages of time, have to face the choice of upgrading, and the young new generation may not be able to take on the heavy responsibility, just like him, who has been feeling overwhelmed by all kinds of pressure recently.
It wasn't until the moment when the battle report came that his heart finally let go.
After winning the first battle, he undoubtedly wanted to reward his soldiers, but their next task should be to stay in those fortifications and continue to resist Tokugawa Ieyasu's attack.
A detailed explanation of the package was then passed on.
It turned out that at the suggestion of Bai Qi, Watanabe and the brothers of the Seven Hands Group rushed into the enemy army who were dealing with pots and pans while Uesugi Keikatsu and others were eating.
In his original history, Suda Nagayoshi still helped Uesugi Keikatsu to block their attack, and it was not until reinforcements from the follow-up troops that he finally repelled them.
However, under the interference of Kangning, the original trend of history has undergone major changes, and now, Toyotomi Hideyori has basically grasped the initiative in the war. Now, Toyotomi Hideyori was faced with a more radical choice, which was to maintain the battle line at the outermost part of Osaka Castle, which would have to be more difficult for Tokugawa Ieyasu to capture.
As long as this process is delayed indefinitely, sooner or later, Tokugawa Ieyasu's internal division will be divided, and the princes of all walks of life will not really submit to Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is only by the extreme deterrence of moral exaltation that they have to grovel to submission, and in fact, each of them is unconvinced in their hearts.
Not long ago, Kangning had just fought a beautiful battle, and there were 3 princes, who blatantly did not respect Tokugawa Ieyasu's orders, you know, they just saw the Toyotomi family and had the hope of defeating the Tokugawa family's control. If this kind of news can be amplified indefinitely, more princes will follow their example.
But the problem is that there is not enough capital to withstand the attack of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and today, just the first day of the war, Toyotomi Hideyori has to send the entire family's personal guard troops. Go to the front line of the battle to resist the war.
Although this is only an attitude, it is more of a helplessness, and if you don't clearly state your attitude towards Kantogawa Ieyasu, then. There will be more people who imitate that traitor.
Katagiri and Moto, for Toyotomi Hideyori, this name is in his heart. It has been linked to the word hypocrisy. On the surface, he is loyal to the Toyotomi family, but in fact, he has always had an unclear connection with many mines. Not long ago, he just openly disobeyed the order to commit suicide by seppuku, and has already led his family to leave Osaka Castle, and now, I don't know where to hide? Quietly help Tokugawa Ieyasu and plan how to capture Osaka Castle.
Young Toyotomi Hideyori slowly clenched his fists, he hated the guy so much that if he were given another chance, he and his wife would cut off the man's head.
Fortunately, he Toyotomi Hideyori still has no shortage of allies, and Corning's recent performance is enough to surprise him.
Not only is his own ability extraordinary, but even his subordinates can give the most reasonable advice in a timely manner, and the victory in this battle is the best example.
Thinking of this, he now longed to see the so-called white guy. This person's name is the same as the one in the Warring States Period, I heard that Kang Ting's father has a quirk, that is, he often uses the names of the ancients to name the orphans he adopted.
Although his life was only a short twenty years, he had also read a lot of books, and the anecdotes recorded in the books could always quickly attract the attention of the young people around him, but the eccentricities of Kangning's father were not recorded in any book.
Thinking of this, he was ready to send such an order to the front line, wanting to find this person called Bai Qi.
Even if he is not the famous general of the Warring States period in the Central Plains, I am afraid it is rare to be able to get such a person with such a name from your father, so it is still necessary to see this person.
However, when his order came to the front, he was rejected without hesitation.
Shiraki has returned to Awaji Island sullenly because he missed the best opportunity to ambush, and for him, this winter war is almost over, and it will not be long before it will also fall heavily. The armies of both sides faced difficulties with supplies.
On the contrary, the negotiation table with a warm charcoal stove next to it is more suitable for the high-level leaders of both sides to compete for each other.
Therefore, the general, who only knew how to plough and fight, has returned to the farmland.
The seeds of winter wheat have been sown. But no one knows whether they will have enough time to live here next summer, you know, next summer, is the most critical time for this war.
Toyotomi Hideyori didn't seem to look that far ahead, he just glanced at the reply letter in disappointment, and threw it into a ball and threw it into the furnace.
For him, the winter battle was not over, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had only just begun to attack his outer defenses, and he still had many strong fortresses to resist.
As for what to do next summer? Neither he nor his mother had long-term plans.
However, Corning, which was close at hand, was already organizing craftsmen to design a more primitive harvester modeled after the harvesters of later generations.
He's even got a name for the harvester, which is the very wicked white type.
Bai Qi should be the harvester of human life, but now, the real decisive battle has not yet come, and it can only be used as the name of the crop harvester.
As for the next battle at the negotiating table, Corning has prepared enough chips, not only to buy himself enough time to develop, but also to buy a few more days for Toyotomi Hideyori to live.
Now, he was ready to go to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu's latest envoy, Uesugi Keikatsu.
The reason why this person came here was because Tokugawa Ieyasu gave him a chance to make meritorious atonements, but Kangning didn't want to see her succeed in making meritorious atonements, this guy is not much better than the descendants of Takeda Shingen. If you keep him, you can't use it for yourself, so let him go to Uesugi Kenshin to explain his sins in person! (To be continued.) )
PS: In the middle of the night, there were two babies crying on the west side of the door, crying for more than an hour, so much so that I thought it was an abandoned baby, and almost called the police. Hey, it's really that there are many poor people, and the excess kindness should be thrown away.
