As the commander-in-chief of this 40,000-strong army, Tokugawa Ieyasu had the final decision-making power on whether to fight, hold on, or retreat.
Asano Nagamasa, the supervisor of the military, although he was not satisfied with Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision in the past, he never raised any objections and completely respected Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision on the surface.
Because the matter does not seem that urgent, no matter what choice you make, there is still plenty of room for error and room for maneuver.
Just like a couple living together, even though there are conflicts, they can still get along.
However, the unknown true or false news brought by Governor Konishi that "the Ming Dynasty Navy is about to arrive" became an opportunity to detonate conflicts.
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the content of the news itself will make the Tokugawa Army lose their room for maneuver in the next stage of decision-making, and they will no longer be able to make do with their lives.
Everyone has their own logic in their mind, and no one thinks their logic is wrong until the final result is revealed.
Tokugawa Ieyasu did not want to take the risk of completely ruining his army just to rescue Shimayama Castle, because the main force of his army was the generals of his Tokugawa family.
How can you not hesitate to hook up with your own main force in order to save other people's direct lineage?
People with this kind of consciousness have long been lost in the long river of the Warring States Period.
But Asano Nagamasa's thinking is different from Tokugawa Ieyasu. He believes that Shimayama Castle must be rescued, even if he takes risks and pays the price.
Anyway, the main force of our army belongs to the Tokugawa family, so it doesn't matter no matter how many sacrifices are made. And there are a large number of direct descendants of the Toyotomi family in Shimayama Castle, and of course they also have their own sons, so it is impossible not to save them.
Under this kind of contradiction, they naturally started to quarrel, and even forgot that President Konishi was still present.
So when Tachibana Munesege, who was still relatively calm, pointed at Mr. Konishi, Mr. Konishi was politely invited out of the enclosure.
Without "outsiders" present, Asano Nagamasa said very bluntly: "It is well known that Taikaku's expectations for the Korean War.
If Dainagon had tens of thousands of troops, but gave up rescuing Fukushima Masanori, Hachisuka Kasuke and others, he would simply retreat without a fight.
Even if you, the Tokugawa family, can withdraw completely, how will you face the anger of Taikou when you return to the country? How will you explain to Taikou?"
Not only is there anger, but there is also suspicion.
The direct line of the Toyotomi family has lost troops. Konishi Yukinaga and Kato Kiyomasa's regiments have all been wiped out. Fukushima Masanori's regiment, Ukita Hideie's and other regiments have been beaten to a semi-crippling state, but the Tokugawa family has deliberately preserved its strength. This makes
What does Taige think?
Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed. Although Asano Nagamasa's words were a threat, they were also true.
This war should not be fought militarily, but it must be fought politically.
Even if the possibility of losing the fight is very high, the guilt is much lighter than simply retreating.
Losing is a matter of ability, and whether to fight or not is a matter of attitude.
Then President Konishi was invited in again and was told: "Each of us will go out to fight in two days!"
After sending Governor Konishi out of the camp, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Asano Nagamasa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Tachibana Munege discussed the battle plan together.
Among these four people, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Asano Nagamasa have just arrived, while Shimazu Yoshihiro has been working hard.
Only Tachibana Soshige actually had two battles with the Ming army. One was the Battle of Byokudokan. Tachibana Soshige was the main force of the Japanese army and was very popular. The other was the Battle of Seoul. Tachibana Soshige was responsible for breaking up the rear.
At that time, the Japanese nation boasted of two powerful generals, generally Honda Tadakatsu in the east, who was said to be the best in the Warring States period, which seems to have been said by Oda Nobunaga; and Tachibana Munesege in the west, who was said to be unparalleled in the Western kingdom, and this was said by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
So everyone else looked at the "experienced" Tachibana Munushige at this time and let Tachibana Munesege speak first.
Tachibana Muneshige was an open-minded person, and he did not pretend to be pretentious. He said directly: "Judging from past combat situations, the Ming army has extremely contempt for our army, and most of the time they don't take it seriously.
For example, at the beginning, Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, dared to charge towards Seoul with thousands of men; and when our army retreated, the Ming army had hundreds of cavalry and dared to follow our army of tens of thousands in search of fighter opportunities."
Although everyone feels quite unhappy, this is also true.
Just now, looking at the Ming army on the opposite side, which is estimated to be less than 20,000 people, I dare to challenge our own army of 40,000 people.
Those ignorant and stupid Koreans began to say proudly that the heavenly soldiers fighting the Japanese pirates were just like the Japanese pirates fighting North Korea - I don’t know what these Koreans are proud of?
Then I heard Tachibana Muneshige continue to say: "So in this battle, we can only take advantage of the arrogant mentality of the Ming army.
At that time, all the elites, especially the cavalry, can be gathered on the right wing, while the center and left wing will gradually retreat after the engagement.
The most powerful cavalry formation of the Ming army will definitely pursue and kill them without hesitation and lose touch with the infantry in the rear.
Then the elite right wing of our army can directly attack the Ming army's rear formation and seek the final chance of victory."
While everyone else was thinking, Tachibana Muneshige added, "In the Battle of Bokutokan, we arranged our troops like this, retreating from the front to lure the enemy, and striking with elite punches from the flanks."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "If there is no objection, we will fight according to this strategy."
He had never seen the Ming army before, so he would not go wrong if he followed the advice of experienced people.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's biggest advantage in his life was his self-awareness!
The others didn't have any better suggestions, so they all said together: "Please give the order, Lord Great!"
After Tokugawa Ieyasu thought for a while, he began to arrange his troops and said: "Our Tokugawa family's Honda Tadakatsu army, Ii Akabe army, and Tachibana army form the right wing, commanded by Tachibana's attendants, waiting for the opportunity to attack!"
The error-free version is being read! The first novel to be published. Read it.
Shimazu Yoshihiro and Asano Nagamasa were secretly surprised, Tokugawa Dainagon, you really dare to deploy like this! You actually handed over the core force of your Tokugawa family to the command of Tachibana Muneshige!
But to be honest, the right wing of Honda Tadakatsu, Garachi Hana Munemo, Kai Ikabe is indeed too strong. In China, he can sweep from Kanto to Kyushu.
Tachibana Muneshige moved and bowed and said: "Thanks to the trustworthiness of Dai Nagon, I will do my best and fight to the death to win!"
Honda Tadakatsu is the most powerful general of the Tokugawa family, and the Ii Akabi team has the "bloodline" of the prestigious Akabi cavalry of the Takeda family.
Tokugawa Dainagon entrusted the two elites of his clan to his command, and this magnanimity really made him feel heartbroken.
No wonder Tokugawa Dainagon's reputation and popularity are so good in the East Kingdom area.
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu continued: "I am in the center, and Shimazu is on the left wing. Listen to my orders and work together to advance and retreat!"
But on the other side, President Konishi brought the news of the Japanese army's response to the Ming Dynasty official army camp.
Commander Ma Guima opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Tianshuai without speaking, his eyes full of humble pleading.
Lin Tianshuai couldn't bear to watch, so he waved his hand and said: "You command! Let you command! You have full authority to command this battle!"
When it comes to self-awareness, Marshal Lin is definitely not weaker than Tokugawa Ieyasu! How can he be as professional as a military commander like Ma Gui or Li Rusong who has been trained by generations of generals for this kind of emergency battle formation command?
He, Lin Tailai, focuses on grand strategic planning and small unit assaults, rather than battles and tactics.
Xie Sheng, Ma Gui, Bao Sai and other powerful generals from the Xuan Department quickly gathered around Ma Gui on the general stage.
He placed a tiger-skin chair next to Ma Gui, nodded and bowed, and asked Lin Tianshuai to take a seat.
Ma Gui quickly took the command arrow, turned to look at Lin Tianshuai next to him, and said rationally:
"The commander-in-chief's safety is related to the morale of the entire army. Don't take risks easily. You can lead a thousand personal guards behind to suppress the formation and serve as the general reserve of the entire army!"
Lin Tianshuai: "."
If you don't mention the more critical left, center and right forwards, what does it mean to first determine the back formation?
