Chapter 428: Oda goes to sea
The prestige of Uesugi Taketaketsu Izumo's No. 1 warrior is not blown, but a real record!
It can be said that the reason why Oda Gen was able to defeat many separatist forces, unify Izumo Island, and establish Izumo Province in the first place.
Uesugi Takego can be described as a great contribution!
With his height of seven feet, coupled with his supernatural sword skills, on the battlefield of Izumo Island, facing those dwarfs who are only about six feet on average, it can be said that God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
After the establishment of Izumo Province, Uesugi Takego was even more of an official to worship the general!
It can be said that under one person, above ten thousand.
Recently, there have even been rumors in Izumo that Oda Gen intends to marry his only daughter, Oda Nagaying, the first beauty in Izumo, to Uesugi Takekoshi!
It can be seen that Uesugi Takegoshi is in the status of Izumo Province!
And the Uesugi family, with Uesugi Takegoshi, has also become the second largest family in Izumo Province after Oda!
When the Izumo Kingdom was first established, Uesugi Takego tried his best to go to sea and plunder the Han country!
In his opinion, Izumo is under the patronage of Amaterasu, and it is the place where the sun rises!
The people of Izumo are God's people!
In comparison, the Han people are not worth mentioning at all!
As long as Oda Gen is willing to send troops, within three years, he will definitely be able to conquer all the Han countries!
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!
At that time, the Izumo country was newly built, and all walks of life were in the process of development, so it was really not suitable to use troops again.
Therefore, the civil and military ministers at that time united to oppose Uesugi Takekoshi, and Oda Gen was also a little hesitant, which led to Uesugi Takekoshi's plan to go to sea completely shelved.
But now, he's bringing it up again! And between the words, it seems to be full of confidence!
When the civil and military ministers heard this, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.
Well, to be precise, it was the ministers who chuckled in their hearts.
After all these years of development, most of the generals have been replaced by people from the Uesugi family, and they can be said to be obedient to Uesugi Takekoshi, so how can they refute him?
"The general's words are inevitably a little inappropriate." One of the ministers stood up, this man was wearing a scarlet official robe, but he was only six feet tall, and even the clogs on his feet occupied half a foot, and he walked a little funny.
"As far as Lao Chen knows, an unprecedented war is breaking out in the Han country, and the war is far more tragic than we imagined!"
"At this time, if you rashly send troops to the country of the Han people, if you get involved in their civil strife, won't you suffer an unjustified disaster?"
As soon as these words came out, Uesugi Wuyue snorted coldly and said directly: "Are you a pig when you are a general?" There is a civil strife in the country of the Han people, why should we, Izumo country, get involved? ”
"Naturally, it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally sit on the profit of the fisherman!"
Hearing this, Oda Gen, who was sitting on the Tianzhao chair, couldn't help but bow his head slightly, obviously agreeing with Uesugi Takekoshi's statement.
Well, actually, going to sea is what he meant!
According to the information obtained from the Han kingdom, he learned that an unprecedented war is about to break out between several Han kingdoms!
And this, for Oda Gen, who is unwilling to succumb to a place like Izumo Island, is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As Uesugi Taketsu said, they are not pigs, how could they be involved in the struggle between the Han kingdoms for no reason?
Naturally, it is necessary to find a place to hide, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally grab a large number of large quantities of territory, and recuperate for a few more years, it is enough to obtain the power of whale swallowing the world!
Such a temptation is simply irresistible for Oda Gen!
And he must consider whether this is the only opportunity he can meet in this life to enter the Central Plains!
Although he is known as the Holy Emperor of the Holy Heavens, and he sits on the Amaterasu Golden Chair, he is on the same page as the Han Emperor in everything, and even has to suppress the Han Emperor, but only he knows what the Izumo Kingdom is like, after all, it is just a small country.
But he Oda Gen is ambitious and ambitious, and he absolutely can't tolerate being trapped in such a small place for the rest of his life!
Therefore, it is imperative to go to sea and enter the Central Plains!
Just when Oda Gen was groaning, in the court, the cultural management group and the military attache group headed by Uesugi Takego had already quarreled!
The two sides have their own opinions on whether to go to sea or not, and they will not give an inch!
However, after Oda Gen saw this scene, he frowned and said slightly angrily: "Needless to say, immediately set up troops to go to sea and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains!" ”
"Uesugi Takekoshi is solely responsible for the corresponding matters!"
As soon as these words came out, the cultural management group suddenly exploded, and several older people even knelt on the ground on the spot, crying: "The emperor thinks twice!" ”
Hearing this, Oda Gen showed anger on his face and shouted: "This matter has been decided, if anyone dares to say more, make a decision!" ”
As the founding emperor of Izumo Province, Oda Gen has absolute authority above the court!
Even Uesugi Taketsu, a general who is known as one person and ten thousand people, will never dare to take his edge.
What's more, these civil officials?
When it was, the red-robed old minister froze in place, silent like a cicada, and didn't dare to take a breath.
When Uesugi Takego saw this scene, he was silent on the surface, but he was smiling in his heart.
It's not the first time that these civil servants have opposed him.
And this time, with the help of the emperor's wind, he finally hit the other party hard.
"Uesugi Taketsu, why are you still stunned? Why don't you get ready? "Oda Gen's eyebrows and eyes are like torches, as if he can penetrate people's hearts.
Uesugi Takego was a little disillusioned, and immediately nodded, and said, "The minister will go and prepare for the sea." Then he turned and walked away.
Although Izumo Province unified Izumo Island, it lagged far behind the Central Plains in all its technologies, whether it was iron smelting or shipbuilding.
Therefore, even if they raise the strength of one country, it will be difficult to build a building ship!
Therefore, the navy of Izumo Province is all used with a shipper!
There are a lot of them, about fifty of them!
There are several of them, and they are magnificently built!
It's a ship for big names like Oda Gen and Uesugi Takegoshi!
Izumo Province is an island country, and it is inevitable that civilians and soldiers will go to sea on weekdays, so the water is very good!
Although there is no mature sailor establishment, it is not too difficult to form a decent sailor team on this basis!
It only took Uesugi Takego two or three days to reorganize the original Izumo army, forming an elite naval team of about 5,000 people as the vanguard army to the Central Plains Continent!
In fact, it's said to be the vanguard army, but Izumo Kuni can't take anything more.
After all, for a small country, supporting five thousand troops is almost the limit!
If it's more, you can't afford it.
This is also the reason why Oda Gen tried his best to go to sea, go to the Central Plains, and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits!
What kind of army is an army of 5,000 men? He Oda Gen doesn't want to, and he must not live like this for the rest of his life!
