Matsumae Domain Castle Tower, Matsumae Kohiro sat on the top seat, and the old Inoue No. of the pen family, Fukuda Castle Hiroshi Matsushima, riding general Yuki Doi, and Ashigaru general Yasuda Shinkatsu sat on the lower seat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Their expressions were solemn, and they were all wordless waiting for something.

The sound of chaotic footsteps outside, Matsumae Kohiro nodded to Matsumachi, and Matsumae Matsumahiro got up and walked out the door.

Greetings rang out one after another outside, and then, under the guidance of Matsumachihiro, more than a dozen full-bodied samurai entered the castle tower.

"This is the governor of my Matsumae family." Jing Guang bowed slightly.

More than ten people all bowed and saluted, saying that they would meet the Governor, and they were extremely respectful.

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." Matsumae Gonghiro didn't dare to hold it up, here are all reinforcements from the Mutsu region, among which the Date family, the Mogami family, and the Soma family are very large, at least they are much stronger than his Matsumae family, and the Date one-eyed dragon is a daimyo who once threatened the Warring States, if it weren't for Date's home in the northeast, too far away from the center of the Gyeonggi Warring States, but there is a possibility of fighting for the world, that is, now, although it is not the genealogy of the Tokugawa shogunate, but it still retains the territory of 600,000 stones of the Sendai Domain, which shows that it is really not easy, Compared to the Matsumae Domain, it is a behemoth-like existence, and it is still the order of the Tokugawa Shogun to be able to reinforce across the sea this time, otherwise the Date family will know who the Matsumae Domain is.

Everyone bowed down and thanked them, and sat down one by one under the guidance of Songjingguang.

"Tomohisa Kuroki, Nobushihiro Ueda, and Kishi Nobuki-sama 、。。" Jing Guang had already seen the courtesy outside, and at this time he introduced them to Gongguang one by one.

After the guests and hosts are seated, the servants serve hot tea.

"First of all, the Governor would like to extend a helping hand to the feudal lords in the event of a crisis in the Matsumae Domain. Thank you very much. Matsumae Kohiro bowed and thanked him.

Tomohisa Kuroki, Nobuyoshi Ueda, Nobushi Kishi and others bowed in return.

Indeed, they know it in their hearts. What to lend a hand. If it weren't for the shogunate's death order, he would have waded into this troubled water as he wished, after all, no one would want to cross the sea to fight in the barbaric Ezo land.

Of course, more than a dozen feudal states, including the Fukuoka Domain, Mogami Clan, and Soma Clan, had to admit that if the Ming people occupied the Tokachi Plain, they would be far away from Mutsu in the south across the narrow strait.

What if the Ming people covet their territory, the Ming warships are sharp, and landing on Mutsu is really not a thing, and then their territory will be in ruins. If you don't have any benefits, you're in big trouble.

Therefore, their respective heads of families also sent reinforcements half-pushed, also in the intention of best keeping the enemy out of the country.

The retainers of the Matsumae Domain immediately bowed in return, and immediately the room was dazzled, all of them were crooked human bodies.

"Lord Matsuzen, our soldiers have just landed in southern Daonan, and I don't know what happened to the Akito." Kuroki Tomohisa is the general of the Fukuoka Domain, the elder of the Date family, he led two thousand Ashigaru to come, because of the power of the Date family, faintly became the leader.

"I'll talk to you today. It is because of this that the Ming people in the northern part of Ezo have been armed for war a few days ago. They gathered all their troops, numbering thousands. It is marching to the southeast of Shikatsu Lianfeng. Matsumae Kohiro's face was purified, and he knew that the great battle to decide the ownership of Minami-Ezo had begun.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Ming people have." Nobuyhiro Ueda, whose face was slightly yellow and had a straight bun that was rare among samurai, asked, this was what he was most concerned about.

"According to the Anui who stayed there, the Ming had 4,000 cavalry, 4,000 intromenades, and 3,000 Korean soldiers." Song Prospect interjected.

"Shhh," Kishi gasped, "there really are four thousand cavalry. ”

He clicked his small eyes, opened his mouth wide, and showed two large yellow teeth, he had heard that without these soldiers, especially cavalry, it was a mortal threat to the infantry.

"Indeed, there are four thousand horsemen." Song Zhanguang looked at this obscene old man in surprise, and said in his heart, there is nothing wrong with you. “

"Tsk," Kishi Nobu's face twitched, and the head of the moon head composed of the few gray hair left twitched, "In the battle of Keicho Wenlu in the past, a certain family fought with the Ming cavalry, and it was invincible." ”

The tragic scene at that time made him still have palpitations when he remembered it.

"Isn't it like this, Lord Kishi, if the Ming people are so brave, why should some of my Japanese ronins be frightened and take precautions all over the coast." Ueda Nobuyoshi said sarcastically.

Yes, they are all reinforcements of the Mutsu domains, but the closer they are in the Wa Kingdom, the more hatred they have, because of the mutual annexation of each other for hundreds of years, many of the neighbors have a deep blood feud.

Besides, Ueda Nobuyoshi was driven by the governor of the Mogami family, because his Ueda family's strength swelled rapidly, and the head of the family was threatened, forcing him to send troops to the Ueda family, and the governor was only five hundred feet away, which was simply not worth mentioning, and Ueda Nobuyoshi was angry when he was angry.

Hearing that this obscene old man admired the Ming army, he immediately opened his mouth to ridicule, the Ming army, hum, it is nothing more than this in Korea, and the commanders of the major names who crossed the sea expedition are just a draw, if it were not for the fact that each of the daimyo had their own hearts, the final victory or defeat would not be known.

"If you want to explain the infantry of the people, hehe," Kishi shook his head disappretently, "but the cavalry of the Ming people is half a head higher than our army, and the whole body is full, and it is difficult to cope with the impact of the horse's speed, even if you ride up, you can barely support it." ”

He didn't care about Ueda's sarcasm, the Date family, the Mogami family, and the Soma family had been fighting for the hegemony of Mutsu for decades, and it was strange that the relationship could be good, and it was not worth it.

"Lord Kishi, the Ming cavalry is really so strong." Matsu Matsumahiro stared at Kishi's letter and asked, this was what he was most concerned about, after all, it was the Matsumae family who bore the brunt.

"Of course, if my ashigaru brigade does not have iron cannons to suppress the formation, once I charge the formation, my infantry team will have to be scattered, they are skilled in bowing and horses, and they can open the bow twenty times in a row, and the range of their riding bow is the same as that of my ashigaru instep bow, and the all-armor rush formation is even more imposing." The old man didn't have Kaba's eyes for the first time, and he looked back at the pine prospects, all of which were personal experiences, and there was nothing to say.

Matsumae saw the firmness in the old man's eyes, it seemed that this bad old man was not lying, and he looked back at Matsumae Gonghiro.

Matsumae Gongguang frowned, this is not very easy to do, but the Ming people have thousands of cavalry, which makes him beat the drum in his heart.

"The most terrifying thing is the scene when thousands of cavalry rush together, the dust rises in the sky, the hooves of thousands of horses make the ground tremble, and the ironclad samurai wields their swords and guns to rush into battle with all their might, if it weren't for the fact that all the daimyo were battle-hardened samurai, I am afraid that they would have to flee immediately, and even so, there were also those who fled on the spot."

Kishi thought back with small eyes.

"What Lord Kishi said is too much, so the Ming people can't immediately drive our army into the sea, how can they hold each other for ten years." Kuroki Tomohisa also shook his head, it was a tradition for the three of them to tear each other down, without him, a subconscious behavior.

"Hehe, General Kuroki doesn't know, the Ming people didn't have many firearms at that time, and the range was not far, not as long as the iron cannon of our army, which made their cavalry infantry suffer a big loss."

Kishi Xin's paper was self-contained, and he smiled disappretently.

"It's just that this time it's different, this Ming man has a lot of iron cannons, and the iron cannons can account for nearly half of his soldiers." Song Zhanguang said worriedly.

Hey, more than a dozen people are taking a breath, damn, this Ming people are too extravagant, you must know that iron cannons are not cheap in the Wa country, cheap ones, some locally made iron cannons are cheaper, but the range is only more than half of the more expensive Nanban iron cannons, and because the iron material is not good, it is extremely undurable, and it is easy to blow up.

Therefore, the powerful daimyo did not have such iron cannons, and they really couldn't afford to spend it.

Even the shogun's banner was always equipped with iron cannons, but Ashigaru only purchased some long-range Nanban iron cannons from the Nanbanians, and the rest was dealt with with by homemade iron cannons.

"What is the range of their iron cannons." Kishi is most concerned about this issue.

"It's not that I know too much, but I know that it's about the same range as my iron cannon." Loose prospect wide dry return.

It's not fun now, a lot of people are making up for it, in the past, they used to suppress the Ming cavalry with many iron cannons, but now the Ming people's iron cannons are not less than theirs, how to fight.

"In fact, there are a lot of iron cannons of the Ming people, and we don't have to be afraid, once the melee starts, the Ming people will soon be unable to hold on, and they are often the first to flee, which is these thousands of cavalry."

At this time, Kishi's letter paper reflects the heritage of a veteran of a hundred battles, and he is not very afraid.

"There's a way to do that." Yuki Doi, the general of the Matsumae Domain, who had never been born much, interjected.

"Oh, please." Matsumae said with a smile.

And all the people looked at him.

"My lord, the Shikachi place just drew a map last year at the order of the shogunate, and the subordinates found that the northern part of Shikachi is close to the Shikachi Peak, mainly because the Shikachi River flows through, which is conducive to cavalry combat, but there are many rivers in the central and southern regions, which is extremely unfavorable for cavalry warfare, and it is not easy for war horses to cross the river, so it is a boat." Yuki Doi bowed back and said.

Bang, the feudal lord Matsuzen Gonghiro stroked his palm and praised, "Yuki Doi, I didn't expect you to think so carefully about Tokachi. ”

"Lord Bing, my family and the Anui people who have always been restless coexist in Donan Shikatsu, and their subordinates are in charge of the cavalry, how can they not do their best." Doi Yuki bowed ninety degrees and replied.

There is nothing wrong with the waist that has been trained for decades.

"Yuki Doi is loyal and diligent, and he will be rewarded with ten gold, and I hope that he will continue to be loyal to his duties in the future." Matsumae Kohiro is not stingy with rewards.

Yuki Doi is again a big bent down to thank you.

The other feudal generals are all crooked, and no one looks at your monarchs and ministers to get along with this drama.

Next, there was a heated discussion in the castle tower, and the purpose was to get rid of the strongest cavalry of the Ming people.

The northernmost plains and hills of Ezo are probably the toughest places in Ezo, because they are in the north and are blocked by mountains, and the temperature is much lower than that of the neighboring south, and many of them have to start all over again, which is extremely difficult.
