Yoshikage used famous quotes about the Northern and Southern War, so Yoshikage Uesugi naturally understood what they meant.
Exiting Toba Rikyu and letting the enemy in to fight is the best way to get rid of the current passivity.
Fushimi Castle at this time was not located in the Momoyama period of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in history, nor was it the Fushimi Shrine during the Tokugawa Shogunate period.
Its location is in the defensive zone near the mountains and rivers in the northeast of Yuxiang Palace.
Gokogu Shrine was a shrine built in the twelfth century. It declined rapidly after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's ministers. However, it is located on a higher ground and is the closest defensive point close to the Uji River.
Inari Mountain and Inari Taisha Shrine in the north are the largest stronghold of Shintoism in Kyoto and the forefront of competition with Buddhism. The Takada sisters have always used this place as a military stronghold to continuously strengthen it.
Fushimi Castle is located between the two, only three or four miles away from Mika Palace and only seven or eight miles away from Inari Taisha Shrine, forming a triangle defense posture.
If a legion chooses to break through the Toba Rikyu Palace and enter the Shimo-Toba area, continuing eastward is the triangle area with Fushimi Castle as the core and Mikagu Shrine and Inari Taisha Shrine on both sides.
This relatively empty flat land is enough to accommodate the elite of a legion, making it the main force that divides the defense line and isolates Fushimi Castle.
To put it simply, this is a good opportunity for one legion to destroy the entire defense line in one fell swoop. If the Spo family does not want to be defeated individually, they will definitely come out to fight against one legion.
The decisive battle with Yoshigan Shiba was Hideyoshi's biggest strategic goal.
If the Kinki coalition forces led by Shiba Yoshigan could be defeated before the Shiba family's Kanto reinforcements arrived at the Kinki battlefield, Ichijo Hideyoshi would never be able to resist this temptation.
And being able to draw out the Shiba army to fight is also a great thing that everyone in the army would like to see if they don't want to hit the Toba Fushimi defense line and suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, Yiyin's strategy of retreating before advancing is almost 100% achievable.
Uesugi Yoshikage looked at his cheap father with admiration, Lao Jianghu was Lao Jianghu.
However, Yiyin dared to take the initiative to retreat because he was absolutely confident in his own strength. Even if the enemy was brought in to occupy the advantageous location of the protrusion, he was confident of completely defeating the enemy.
Yoshikage Uesugi doesn't have this kind of confidence.
Yoshikage Uesugi said thoughtfully.
"After exiting the Toba Palace, I will gather troops at Fushimi Castle and wait for Ichijo Hideyoshi to cross the river for the decisive battle. What about the Mika Palace and Inari Taisha Shrine?"
Yiyin rubbed his nose.
"Leave the Imperial Palace to Nizi Yukimori. As for you, follow me to Inari Taisha Shrine."
Uesugi Yoshikage's eyes widened. She didn't pay attention to the second half of the sentence, but focused entirely on the first half.
"Can the Nizi family do it? Mika Palace is directly facing Ujigawa!
The two roads of Yokoojinuma are already controlled by a legion. Once a legion crosses the Kamogawa River and arrives at Shimotoba, the Mika Palace will face siege from three directions on both sides of the Kamogawa Uji River.
I remember that Junshan City is only a few tens of thousands of stone Zhixingdi, and the main force of the Nizi Army is only one or two thousand at most. Can the Nizi Army be able to withstand the pressure if the Nizi Army is sent to guard Xiang Palace?"
Yiyin smiled helplessly.
"Thousands of members of Nizi's Western martial arts family have written bloody petitions to fight. This guy Takeda Shingen is everywhere these days, so I have to give Nizi Yukimori a chance.
In fact, Yuxiang Palace is not that important. Even if the entire Nizi garrison is destroyed, it will be a tragic plus point politically, as long as Nizi survives.
Niko Yukimori and Takeda Shingen are both aware that the Niko family is not strong enough, and their idea of asking for war this time is actually the same as Hosokawa Akechi's, which is to use their own blood to stain their achievements and seek post-war benefits."
Uesugi Yoshikage pouted.
"It's up to you. They're all your women anyway. If you want to let them do whatever they want, just do whatever they want."
Yiyin was so embarrassed that he became angry and said.
"What are you talking about? They are all your little mothers, so please respect them."
Uesugi Yoshikage felt a little sour and angry, but in the end he held it back and dropped the topic.
"My father doesn't care about the stronghold of Mika Palace, but he still wants me to go to Inari Taisha Shrine in person. I must have arranged some trump card at Inari Taisha Shrine?"
Yiyin smiled slightly.
"Ichijo Hideyoshi inherited Oda Nobunaga's spear and iron artillery formation that separated farmers and soldiers. He always felt that this set of tactics was enough to sweep away the traditional samurai families of the island country.
That's why when her politics and economy were on the verge of collapse, she wanted to take desperate risks and had the illusion that she could make a comeback in a decisive battle with me.
Here I have prepared some shocks of the new era for her, I hope she will be satisfied."
Yoshikage Uesugi touched his chin.
"Father, please don't show off. What is it?"
Yiyin smiled and pointed.
"Christina."
Yoshikage Uesugi's eyes lit up.
"Southern Barbarian Artillery Team?
I asked why my father was so confident. It turned out that he had brought the Nanman artillery team here.
The bombardment of more than a dozen large and small artillery pieces is indeed enough for a legion to drink a pot. The Phalanx of spears and iron cannons is most afraid of artillery bombardment.
The location of Inari Taisha Shrine is also good, with an artillery position set up halfway up the mountain, and the range is enough to cover the small plain between Shimo Toba and Fushimi Castle."
Yoshigan looked at Uesugi Yoshikage with a half-smile, which made Uesugi Yoshikage frown and ask.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Yiyin chuckled.
"A dozen cannons? Who do you think you're looking down on?
The cannons are firing at his mother. I have accumulated hundreds of cannons just to teach Hideyoshi Ichijo how to use the God of War in the era of hot weapons."
Yoshikage Uesugi's head went numb after hearing this.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible...hundreds of guns...fuck...it's not World War I or World War II, where did you get so many cannons?"
Yiyin smiled slightly.
"It's a one-time thing.
In recent years, regardless of cost, I have allocated a large amount of funds to Kristina to manufacture wooden cannon barrels, with a total of hundreds of large and small calibers.
It's just limited to problems such as moisture and cracking due to long-term storage. There are only a hundred or so of them that can be used now, and they are all disposable tools that can only fire two or three rounds.
Of course, Christina also bought a dozen low-pound cannons and even a ten-pound cannon from Nanman merchants in the Southeast Asian colonies."
Uesugi Yoshikage was stunned when he heard this. Yoshihiro is really rich. How much money will this cost?
The realization of wooden cannon is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in unifying the size, because only wooden cannons of the same tree species and caliber can be equipped with appropriate gunpowder filling and shell size.
Not to mention how many woodcutters and carpenters need to be summoned, the amount of waste consumed alone is astronomical.
This is not just cutting down hundreds of big trees, the material selection and consumption behind it is more than tens of thousands of trees.
That is to say, the island country is mountainous and has enough trees and a wide range of tree species, so that suitable wooden cannon materials can be selected and wooden cannons of uniform large and small calibers can be made.
Otherwise, it will be a large-caliber sprayer, and the range of the target is unknown.
Despite what Yiyin said, only Yiyin himself knows how much the price paid behind this is.
There are a hundred wooden cannons and a dozen Nanman cannons. How many Nanman gunners need to be hired, how many island country gunners need to be trained, how much gunpowder, projectiles, and related logistics work need to be prepared?
Behind each of these items are mountains of gold and silver.
That is to say, the Spoken Fed controlled most of the resources of the island country, which gave Bank of America the opportunity to create this trump card.
Otherwise, even if Yiyin has 8 million Shi Tianling, it will not be able to get so much money, food and materials to invest in the bottomless pit of the Nanman artillery team.
But even with Yiyin's careful preparation, only a hundred cannons could participate in the battle, and most of the wooden cannons had been broken and rotted in the warehouse.
It is this final battle to unify the world that makes it worthwhile for Yiyin to take out this trump card at the bottom of the box and use it to shock the world.
On both sides of Yamashiro Kingdom, Shiba Ichichi and Hideyoshi are facing each other, and Hideyoshi has been seeking a decisive battle. In fact, Yoshigan is also seeking a decisive battle, but the two sides have very different ideas.
Ichijo Hideyoshi was so distraught at the loss that he wanted to make a comeback and survive.
However, Yiyin was very aware of the Wu family's repetitive and cold temperament, so he used a group bombardment of hundreds of cannons to completely scare the world's martial arts families.
To lay the solid foundation for the world of Spo, we must use absolutely strong financial resources and violence.
After Yoshigan explained, Uesugi Yoshikage could only give a thumbs up and sighed sincerely.
The roar of cannons is the romance engraved in the heart of every female queen. Just imagining that scene makes Uesugi Yoshikage so happy that he can't wait to go see those straight-cut darlings now.
