Chapter 424: Territorial Deployment
The sad Puchi family, although in the future, the dragon temple family who unthankfully wiped out their clan disappeared. But he met the Luo family, which would not have appeared in history.
At the moment when Yanagawa Castle was breached, the head of the Kamaike family, who had shouted to dissenting retainers, "Samurai should help each other", committed suicide by seppuku in the highest attic of Yanagawa Castle.
Ironically, the new governor of Longzo Temple, who had been accepted by Puchi Jiansheng at the beginning, stood on a hill outside Liuchuan City at the moment when Liuchuan City was captured, and after glancing at Liuchuan Castle, which was being flooded by a large number of Luo family soldiers, he simply turned around and walked towards the seaside. There was a morning waiting for him.
In the battle of Yanagawa Castle, all the men who survived the Kamachi family, both young and old, were killed. As for the women and children, they were directly scattered and moved to various places in Hizen to settle down. This is the consistent policy of the Luo family to deal with the resistance of the Hao family.
Compared with the dragon temple Takanobu who wiped out the Puchi family in history, Masahiro can be said to be extra generous. At least to a certain extent, a trace of the bloodline of the Kamachi family has been retained. It's just that, from then on, the Chikugo Puchi clan was wiped out. After Yanagawa was defeated and captured, the Kamachi family, who voluntarily surrendered and cooperated, was blessed and inherited the orthodoxy of the Kamachi family from then on.
Shinnosuke Akabane arrived at Tajiri Castle on the third day after the fall of Yanagawa Castle. At this time, Masara had been here for more than ten days, and the matter of Higo Tamina County was basically a foregone conclusion, and he was preparing to go to the next destination, Yamashita Castle, the territory of the former Kamachi family.
After meeting with Masayo, Shinnosuke Akabane quickly reported the situation of Yanagawa Castle to Masayo, and handed a detailed material manual to Masayo. In fact, Shinnosuke Akabane knows that even if he doesn't report it, politics; Liang has long known about these things through Black Hawk.
It's just that. In his opinion. Retribution and non-retribution are completely different things.
Knowing that the lord of the Dao Dao had his own way to know the Dao in advance, he still pretended to report without knowing the Dao, which was the duty of a courtier. If you don't report it carelessly, it will be a bit of a coercion. It's really unbelievable.
"Hmmm! It's just the material situation of Yanagawa Castle here, and this time most of the people from the Internal Affairs Pavilion have been brought here, so let them step up the statistics of the materials seized in the newly occupied territories, and in addition, they will step up the investigation and statistics of the newly occupied territories, and in this regard, the Intelligence Pavilion will provide assistance. After looking at the materials in the manual about the battle of Yanagawa Castle, Masara said directly.
Because the post-construction strategy was carried out in a hurry. In fact, the logistics have not kept up with this pace. For example, the migration of the defeated wealthy clans, the resettlement of the people in the newly occupied areas, the resettlement of a large number of displaced people, the statistics of materials, and the statistics of the population have not come out. On the contrary, the work of the military logistics department, which followed the army, was very smooth, and the overall arrangement of war materials and the statistics of military merits came out very quickly, and now it has begun to issue pensions and replenish soldiers.
"In addition, the Military Cabinet should also step up its arrangements. Let's adjust the military deployment of each team. After the end of this battle, the 6th Standing Ashigaru Brigade led by Akuta was relocated to Karatsu Bay. Replace the 4th Standing Ashigaru Team led by Masanao Kinoshita. Masaro continued.
The Ouchi family is about to fall into a downturn. The Wave family, which retreated to Iki Island, has been in civil unrest recently, and the direction of Karatsu Bay only needs to be well defended. In addition, several consecutive battles are the sixth standing ashigaru team as the main force. This team has been severely reduced. And the generals and soldiers are also a little tired. It's also time to recuperate. Moreover, the Luo family has always pursued a policy of regularly changing the location of the troops. That's why Zhengliang has such an arrangement.
"And where is the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade?" Shinnosuke Akabane asked as he took the pen and ink from his little surname Honda Masanobu and prepared to draft the order.
"The headquarters of the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade were changed to Chikugo's Chonobu Castle, Maowei Castle, and Yamashita Castle, mainly to guard against the Otomo family in the northeastern part of Chikugo and the wealthy clans in the northern part of Higo."
After the construction will be the key direction of the Luo family's future strategy, coupled with the strong surroundings of the building, it is necessary to have a resourceful general who has both offense and defense. And Kinoshita Masanao is the right person. Moreover, the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade under his command had not participated in other battles since the capture of Fukae Castle in Chikuzen, and the soldiers of the Fan Brigade had long been a little unable to hold back. I hope it's a big deal. Use their sharpness to crush the surrounding enemies and some dissidents in the newly occupied territory. Let Chikugo settle down quickly.
"The third standing ashigaru team under the command of Shigemasa Yoshida was relocated to Katsuo Castle, Asahiyama Castle and Kaizu Castle in Hizen, focusing on guarding against the Chikushi family of Shibata Castle in Chikuzen and paying attention to the movements of the Ouchi family. At the same time, the 4th Standing Ashigaru Team of Chikugo was united to guard against the strength of the Otomo family in the northeastern part of Chikugo. Masaro continued. It was also an area that was extremely prone to war, and was garrisoned by Yoshida Shigemasa, who had been with Masayo for a long time. Masashi is also much more relieved.
"Then Hizen Mise Castle should be garrisoned by that team?" Shinnosuke Akabane asked. The original location of the third standing ashigaru team was Mise Castle. Now that they've migrated, there's definitely a need for a new team to settle in.
"Let's use Tomomitsu Oishi's second standing ashigaru team instead. Mainly to guard against the Harada family on the other side of the mountain, and to keep a close eye on the movements of the various heroes in Chikuzen, the Intelligence Pavilion will also establish a sub-station in Mise Castle later. In addition, half of the troops were to be sent during this time to assist the Cabinet in stabilizing the newly acquired Hizen territory. "The second standing ashigaru team has just repelled the invasion of the wealthy armies such as the Youma family and the Xixiang family in Nanfeihou, and has participated in this post-construction strategy, so it's time to recuperate.
Shinnosuke Akabane quickly recorded Masayo's order.
"The 6th Standing Ashigaru Brigade under the command of Enjoji Nobuyin was relocated to Matsugaku Castle, Kawara Castle, and Hirota Castle in Hizen's Biki-gun. Pay attention to the joint Sasebo Bay Wuying Castle, where the 2nd Standing Naval Army led by Guna Tong guards against the powerful forces in the south and the pirates in the direction of the five islands in the south. ”
At this point, there is no change in the first standing ashigaru team under the command of the executive seed. The station is still Matsuoka Castle in Fujitsu County, and it is united with the 3rd Standing Navy Brigade of Kashima Castle next to it to guard against the strong forces of Minamihizen and the sea intrusion from the direction of Shimabara Bay.
This time of transfer, the main force of the battle during this period was basically arranged to a place suitable for recuperation and adjustment, and several teams that had been holding their breath for a long time and were ready to do a big job were pushed to the edge of the battle.
In addition to the infantry combat units, the garrisons of the rest of the units also need to be appropriately adjusted.
"The First Standing Cavalry Brigade under the command of Isono Yuanmasa damaged more than a dozen war horses in this battle, so I informed the pasture near Notaka Mountain, Matsuura County, Hizen, and asked the other side to transport the additional war horses as soon as possible. In addition, their station is temporarily set at Yanagawa Castle after Chikugo. Masato decided. Yanagawa Castle is located near the center of the territory, so it can quickly support the borders of the territory, and staying there can also help the Cabinet quickly stabilize the newly acquired Chikugo territories.
"As for the samurai team, a hundred people will secretly enter the prison castle in Higo Tamina County, and the remaining two hundred people will continue to follow me together with the cloaked people."
At the last time, the Iron Artillery Corps was still stationed in Kishiyue City. Similarly, the Detectives, Heralds, and Black Hawks are still stationed in Kishigaku Castle. The location of the naval army also remained the same.
"By the way, I heard that the siege of the city this time also used weapons and the cloud ladder designed and built by Liu Ye, what do you think?" After arranging the locations of each team, Masato suddenly remembered about the cloud ladder, so he hurriedly asked.
The current cage city warfare generally uses the tactics of climbing the sea of people with bare hands, and the damage caused is too great. With the finances of the Fallen Water family gradually becoming abundant, Masashi has already issued an order to the armory workshop to strengthen the research and design of siege weapons. The ladder is the first weapon launched by the Armory.
"Hmm!" Shinnosuke Akabane obviously thought about it for a while, and then commented: "Because it is easy to be cut by the enemy, and it seems that it is not suitable for the terrain, it is easy to slip and overturn, so the effect is not very ideal." ”
"Is that so? You collect the ideas of the soldiers and generals about the ladder, and then give it to Liu Ye and the others in the armory, ask them to improve it as soon as possible, and tell them that I need a ladder that can be built on the spot and is strong and reliable. After listening to Shinnosuke Akabane's evaluation, Masara thought about it, and said after that. The latter was immediately ordered.
The terrain of Japan is mainly mountainous and hilly, which has led to the great powers around it preferring to build a large and small number of castles. This caused great trouble for those who raided these places. The most typical is Takeda Shingen, it is because of the existence of these castles that greatly hinders the pace of his development for hegemony and makes him sentient beings trapped in the struggle with the Uesugi family. Therefore, the siege equipment must be vigorously developed.
"By the way, Nosuke, that guy from Tao Masatoshi has said several times that he wants to send another general to the third standing naval army, what do you mean?" Masato asked suddenly.
"Hehe, Lord of the Kingdom, you should have a number in your heart. Your Majesty does not dare to recommend it at will. Shinnosuke Akabane said with a smile. He can avoid these things about arranging personnel positions. If you don't do it well, it will offend many people, and even arouse the suspicion of the lord of the country.
"That's it! Tell me what you think, I'm really short of people. "Masarashi doesn't plan to let go of Shinnosuke Akabane this time.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Shinnosuke Akabane had no choice but to bow before saying, "Lord of the Nation should know the meaning of what Tao Masahu said this time, right?" ”
Masarashi nodded. Tian Ao's remarks this time are called asking for people, which is actually to avoid suspicion. Because Tao Masatori himself is the general of the navy of the third standing water army of the Luo family, and the cavalry general Tao Nakamoto recommended by him before the decisive battle between Hizen and the army of the Otomo family is his younger brother. Tian Ao, who has been in the Hao clan for a long time, took the initiative to ask Masato to send someone to spy on him in order to avoid suspicion. After all, there is not even a deputy general in his navy. (To be continued......)
