readx; readx; Mimasaka is located in a mountainous area, so it is not easily accessible from the topography, but geographically, it is located above the traffic hub. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info is in control of it, and it is important for the next expansion into the San'in area and the Sanyo region.

The biggest good news for Canning is that Tokugawa Ieyasu has voluntarily withdrawn his troops and returned to Sunfu Castle after signing the agreement, and Toyotomi Hideyori has actually become a lord who is not worthy of the name after handing over the Settsu Province and Kawachi Province to Canning, and retaining only one Osaka Castle for himself. It's just that Kimura Shigenari and other generals are still loyal to him, so Kang Ning does not dare to easily follow Zhao Kuangyin, who is in a yellow robe.

In order to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Toyotomi family with Kangning, Kangning had promised to launch an offensive against Yamashiro Province and Omi Province after the end of the Mimasaka Expedition. After the victory, it will be used to exchange the provinces of Hanoi and Settsu. At the same time, Kangning would never make any moves towards the Izumi Province under the control of Toyotomi Hideyori, only asking to be able to trade his caravan in Sakai. You know, Sakai was one of the most prosperous maritime trading cities in Japan at this time.

However, Kang Ning is not a good talker, for Yamato's Okubo Chang'an. Corning would never have touched him. You must know that after the Battle of Sekigahara, Yamato Province has become a direct domain of the Tokugawa shogunate. And the location of Yamato is next to the Gyeonggi region, and it can launch attacks on Hanoi, Settsu and other countries at any time. This design is naturally to facilitate the monitoring of the Toyotomi family.

With such an arrangement, Yamato Province is naturally an important layout for Tokugawa Ieyasu. Corning is not ready to compete with Tokugawa Ieyasu on core interests on its own.

In addition, if the Yamato Province was taken, then the Yamashiro Province and the Omi Province would be added, then Kanning's territory on the Eastern Front would be connected and the road for Tokugawa Ieyasu to attack the Beijing-Hebei region would be completely blocked. He also completely became the umbrella of the Toyotomi family. Let the Toyotomi family maintain a sense of crisis at all times, so that Kangning can use the name of the Toyotomi family to recruit Warring States celebrities who are still alive, such as Sanada Yukimura.

Of course, when the situation is more stable in the future, Corning will summon more historical celebrities of the Wa Kingdom to participate in the Warring States Storm that has been set off again.

However, at present, the operation of attacking Misasaka can only be carried out by relying on his old team.

Wang Sunsin and Lifei Yuanli, as two fierce generals planted among the exiles, stood out from the group training formed by the exiles soon after they came to the Wa Kingdom. Soon, they were in command of a team of five hundred.

Since the canonical system was all rudimentary, Kangning preferred to use the Song bureaucratic system rather than the Ming bureaucratic system directly. The biggest feature of the Song Dynasty's bureaucratic system is that the roof frame bed is stacked, in the actual operation process, it is naturally easy to incur high costs, resulting in the problem of redundant officials, redundant personnel, and redundant expenses, but when recruiting talents, it is indeed easy to find a large number of institutions that can place them. If you are not at the worst, you can give a loose official a supply first, and it will not be too late to consider sending it later.

His idea is very appreciated by Boss Huang. As a hardcore Song fan, Huang Xing has always been ready to insist that he is a descendant of the Emperor Song and Miao, so he almost changed his name to Zhao Xing.

Corning did not dare to be too optimistic about this, but was always cautious when this not yet huge machine was running.

This can be seen from the march process. dudu1;

The cavalry commander of Lifei Yuanli actually commanded the same speed as the infantry command, if this was placed in the Tang Dynasty, it would naturally be regarded as a joke. However, in the seventeenth century, the six-legged cavalry was indeed not much faster than the two-legged infantry when marching.

Kang Ning knew that the cavalry under his command was far less high-quality than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. There were quite a few cavalrymen, even new to horses. Thanks to the successive conquests in the country, the daimyo still attached great importance to horses. Yes, Corning now has even more horses than cavalry.

However, this is not a good thing, his cavalry cannot be like the Liaojin Mongols, who can count horses in one person, ride alternately, and can even be rich enough to have special war horses for assault during combat periods.

The reason is naturally because the quality of his cavalry is too poor, and the horse is actually not much taller than a donkey. Riding on the top, your feet are actually not far from the ground.

Li Fei Yuanli turned his head to look at his subordinates, and then thought about the beautiful country full of mountains, and couldn't help frowning.

Although Wang Sunchen on the side led an infantry commander, he often came over to rub his horse. As a general of the Song Dynasty, he was naturally fed up with the lack of horses. Back then, on the battlefield of Western Xia, the enemy couldn't beat it and ran away, and their two-legged ones couldn't catch up with them. The disparity in mobility led to the fact that the initiative in the war was often in the hands of the Western Xia, who was relatively inferior in national strength.

Now that he has been reincarnated, although he has not been able to command the cavalry battalion, the number of horses that Corning currently has at his disposal is enough for him to be satisfied, at least for the number of cavalry.

The reason why he was able to have a horse is also because of this factor. However, when he saw Li Fei Yuanli's sad face, he was somewhat puzzled.

"What are you depressed, didn't the lord say it, the mountains of the Japanese country are actually hills, and besides, our infantry commanders are equipped with large cylinders, this thing should be called a cannon, right? No matter what it's called, what can the city wall blow down, what are a few mountain bags? ”

Li Fei Yuanli's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he only heard him say coldly: "This means, it seems to mean that our cavalry is useless at all." ”

Wang Sunchen's original intention was naturally not like this, but Li Fei Yuanli felt that his future was confused, and his heart was too sensitive so he misinterpreted his words.

However, to be honest, his cavalry really has no role in the current battle situation. The two main purposes of this visit to Misaku are to bluff and train the team. And this training team, in fact, the main training is not them - otherwise they would find a plain to exercise, why bother to run to this mountain - but the logistics team that transports grain and grass for them. dudu2;

In fact, both of them have this in their hearts, but the stool under the buttocks is different after all, and the idea of making trouble in the melon seeds is naturally different.

Wang Sunchen can actually understand what the cavalry thinks, but after all, how can he worry about everything if it has nothing to do with him. What's more, the things he has to face are not much less than Li Fei Yuanli.

"Newspaper—"

A scout Pegasus came to the front of the army, and as soon as he jumped off his horse, he fell on his heels. finally "dragged" his head out of the dirt pit, and came to the two of them with his sore cervical spine.

Wang Sunchen covered his face, embarrassed to look at Li Fei Yuanli's face. However, he was completely distracted, because Li Fei Yuanli's face was black enough, almost as if he had just taken it out of the bottom of the pot, even if it was swollen into a pig's liver color because of embarrassment, he couldn't see a trace of redness.

The scout who jumped off the horse was naturally his man, and the horse army and infantry acted together, so it was not good for the two-legged people under Lao Wang's hand to investigate the enemy. However, these people under their own hands are basically regimental training and refugees, and the time for organizing is still short, and they have not had time to master the cavalry technology, so it is naturally indispensable to show their ugliness, but this guy did not throw his life in the hands of Mori Zhongsheng.

"What's going on, let's talk about it quickly."

Hearing Li Fei Yuanli say this, Wang Sunchen removed his palm and turned his gaze to the scout.

The man first spit out the dirt in his mouth before saluting and saying, "Mori Zhongsheng personally led the main force and has reached forty miles away. The headquarters is equipped with iron cannons and large barrels. There were at least 10,000 people. ”

Li Fei Yuanli knew very well that this person had never seen what kind of battle a military operation of more than 10,000 people was, and he must have been intimidated by the scale of the enemy's march and miscalculated the situation.

So he ordered: "Inform General Kimura Shigenari to send another group of scouts to check how many troops and horses the enemy has, and estimate how long they have been resting here." ”

"Yes!" dudu3;

After the scouts left, Lifei Yuanli ordered the Ma army of the headquarters to be on guard, and Wang Sunchen's department was responsible for camping. Wang Sunsin had no objection to this arrangement, and he didn't have to work anyway, so he just had time to hunt a few rabbits and come back to improve the food.

During the march, even Kangning's food was the same as that of all the soldiers, which had already made Wang Sunchen dissatisfied. If Huo Qu, who had to take a special chef with him on the expedition, was sick here, I am afraid that he would have made a fuss a long time ago.

However, Corning didn't care, except for eating more, he was no different from others.

Right now, he's holding a fourth dough cake in his mouth, holding a pickle in his hand, staring intently at the map.

This map was obtained from Toyotomi Hideyori, and the relationship between the two has become more and more delicate. When it comes to purely personal relationships, there is quite a common language between the two young people. But picking up the interests of the two groups, Kang Ning, who is a guest secretary, must still be sitting on Boss Huang's side.

Toyotomi Hideyori also knows very well that the price he can offer is really limited, and it is far from the point where Corning can change his banner.

At present, the cooperation between the two sides has gradually cracked, and the strategists of the Toyotomi family, as well as the public family close to them, have long looked at Kangning unpleasantly. At least they are not willing to hand over Settsu and Hanoi to them. Although Corning held them steady for the time being, once a rift was created, it was not easy to repair.

Corning originally wanted to drag out the campaign for a long time, first, to facilitate the training of the troops, and secondly, to create all kinds of good news for a long time, so as to frequently undermine the confidence of the opposition. After all, conquering a mountainous area is more useful than swallowing it with cannibalization.

However, the latest news of the battle seemed to require him to make a change.

Look at Misasakaku on the map. The six counties of Eita, Katsuta, Tomada, Kume, Otwa, and Mashima are all worth savoring in order to consolidate his rule in this land of four wars. But now Mori Tadamori wants to decide the winner in a fight, so he has to play a big game with her. (To be continued.) )
