Chapter 120: The World Is Difficult
"Sir! The latest information! Oda Nobunaga and Admiral Catherine of Riberia were surrounded by Mito Kawahide's superior forces in the Honnoji area, and they were already ......"
"Really...... I didn't expect Nobunaga and Catherine to disappear like this, and it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Toei people in the plague era has not decreased too much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
That's what he said, but Lorraine's expression said it all: he was just a little sad about the death of someone he knew, and Mito Kawahide and his army didn't care.
In its opinion, with the support of the opposing medieval army, at most the arms support of foreign speculators and the assistance of a small number of mages, it would definitely die a miserable death if it wanted to engage the Eastern army.
"Now that I don't talk about that, how is the situation of the troops?"
"It's not too good, the supplies are still abundant because of the sons of heaven who have a chief, but the plague still makes more than 700 people incapacitated, and more than 1,200 Dongying natives have fallen."
"That's not bad, only a few people died......"
"The problem is somewhere else, sir!"
"You mean Edo and Itachi-ji?"
"Chief Lorraine, information on Bantang Temple!" Carl suddenly appeared in front of Lorraine, but unfortunately it was not good news for him.
"Itachiji Temple was besieged by rebels, and the Eastern Army marines who remained there could have relied on fortifications to hold on, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy suddenly appeared in the direction of the harbor...... No, it should be said that it was the pirate fleet of Murong Ying's female demon head, which was finally wiped out after holding on for three days. ”
"Hey...... The world is hard! ”
It was precisely because of this that the Eastern Army originally wanted to go to Itachi Temple on the way to Edo to take all the supplies first, just to replenish the consumption and soldiers of the march.
Murong Ying's pirate fleet attacked at an inopportune time, so Lorraine's plan had to be abandoned, and he couldn't take revenge.
The Far Eastern Floating Fleet, as the strongest physics in the country of Brittany, has consumed the vast majority of ammunition in continuous combat.
After several air battles without supporting military factories and airports to replenish them, Vivien even asked Lorraine to use the Son of Heaven forward base to make supplies.
"Then shall we go to Bantang Temple? Maybe there's a little remnant left over there? ”
"You said it was a pirate fleet attack, how could there be anything left?"
"That's right, so let's go straight to Edo? Maybe we can persuade the troops of the Oda family who stayed behind to join us, and it happens that with the existence of the emperor Jiufeng, they must be shaken in the name of the emperor. ”
"I see, that sounds pretty good?"
"That's it!"
In fact, Carl also has his own ideas, since Oda Nobunaga died in the battle of Honnoji Temple, and the Oda family has not elected a new leader so far, then this is the opportunity of Jiufeng.
Although the girl is a little second-year, she also secretly released the spiritual plague on the battlefield, trying to let Dongying go through the purge of life and death to complete the transition of power, but it doesn't matter.
As long as he can return to Edo, take back the power of the shogun from the Oda family, and give more benefits to Lorraine and the Eastern Army, he may be able to bathe the entire Toei in the glory of the emperor in his lifetime.
As for local interests...... Anyway, the Dongfang Army can't stay in Dongying forever, all power needs the cooperation of Dongying people to be satisfied, and it will be handed over to future generations to solve all this when the time comes.
As the main character, Lorraine didn't understand Carl's thoughts, but she didn't need to say it, it was in her own interest.
After the death of Admiral Catherine, who negotiated the division of the interests of Dongying, the future Dongying will become a private residence of Brittana.
As long as you can survive the plague era smoothly and support the pro-Breton government to come to power by the way, you will get a hundred times the benefits in the future, and the traveler who does not seek state power is simply a salted fish!
……
Just as the ill-intentioned Eastern Army was returning to Edo, their destination was under siege by the enemy and plague.
"Lord Jintoki! The rebels' eighth attack today has been repulsed, but our side has lost 61 killed and more than 200 wounded, and we are asking for reinforcements! ”
"I see, you've worked hard!"
"Hi...... For the glory of the generals! ”
"Well, then you can step back first."
“……”
Sending away the speechless general, Jin Shi patted his face with exhaustion, at this time, he couldn't fall down because of exhaustion.
Edo's role as the political center of Toei naturally attracted the attention of countless people, as the plague and the war of Osaka rekindled the wolf smoke of the Warring States swept the world, and at the same time, a large number of enemies were killed in Edo in an attempt to seize this important location.
But there are still veterans of the Oda family guarding here, and maybe they can't defeat the modernized army of Brittany, and there is no problem in fighting these rebels.
At the same time, foreign troops and mercenaries from the Edo Concession joined the battle, sending a rifle team of 200 men to assist the Oda army in defending the interior, while more troops accompanied the Eastern fleet to defend against pirate attacks.
At the thought of pirates, the face of the old man of the Jin Shi family became very ugly, and the damned Tokugawa Ieyasu actually sent that female madman to lead the fleet, frantically attacking any harbor and city that did not belong to the Tokugawa family's power, causing countless appalling disasters.
"It's been an eventful summer...... I wonder if autumn will be better...... Lord, please come back quickly! ”
"Lord Jintoki! Urgent information! The great traitor Mitogawa Hide, announced that he had received the emperor's authorization to sweep away the world and return all rights to the imperial family! ”
"What!? How could he have the emperor's authorization? ”
"It is said that with the authorization of Emperor Tokusho himself, Uesugi Kenshin has announced that he has accepted the order of Mito Kawahide, handed over the Uesugi family's army to the emperor, and he has only retained an army of 3,000 princes as an escort, and at the same time, he has been canonized to serve as a daimyo in other places......"
"It just doesn't make sense! Uesugi Kenshin, this waste, was actually stripped of rights by others...... Putting this aside, what is the reaction of the Tokugawa family? ”
"The direction of Nagasaki is still in a state of plague and war, and the speed of information transmission is very slow, so it is difficult to say that Tokugawa Ieyasu has not returned to Nagasaki until now."
"Hey, that's not true, where is Lord Nobunaga......"
"Lord Kontoki...... Regarding the lord, the ninja army has also collected some information, but it just sounds very unreliable......"
"Huh? Let's talk about it. ”
"It is said that there was a great battle in the direction of Honnoji Temple, and the number of dead on both sides was very large, and some survivors saw the flag of the Oda family and the banner of the Riberia, including the figure of Lord Nobunaga......"
"Impossible! You must have read it wrong! ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Jin Shijia's face was very terrifying, his eyes stared at each other, and he trembled when he saw it.
"Don't say a word after you go out, you haven't heard any news from the Honnoji Temple, if I hear a little bit about you outside, what will happen, I think you should understand, right?"
“…… Hi"
"Well, that's it, keep gathering intel and go down."
Seeing his subordinates leave, Jin Shi sat in his seat for a long time, but in the end he just let out a sigh, "Lord, ......"
