Chapter two thousand and twenty nine ballistas ashore
Although Ishihara Mitsunari barely managed to save his status and life, due to this, he was forced to live in seclusion by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Obviously Ishihara Mitsunari, who was accustomed to being in the center of power, was not so easy to see. Faced with such a situation, Ishihara Mitsunari
I contacted Shangshan Jingsheng secretly.
Kagekatsu was worried about how to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu. The two hit it off and prepared to form an alliance to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, there is no airtight wall. Hori Hideharu of Echigo Kasugayama Castle, who found out what was going on in Kagekatsu's territory,
Tozawa Masamori of Dewa Kakunodate Castle and others immediately reported to Ieyasu, "Kagekatsu, is trying to rebel!" In addition, Kagekatsu's important minister Tsugawa Castle, Fujita Nobuyoshi, ran away from Ieyasu because of the conflict with Kanetsugu, and reported Kagekatsu.
various "rebellious facts".
Tokugawa Ieyasu occupied Oita Castle, inherited most of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's strength, and regarded himself as the successor of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He immediately began to use the Uesugi family as "arrogant and rude, unwilling to obey the imperial edict to go to Luo" as a Kage to "rebellion against the Toyotomi family".
Formal reasons, decided to conquer it.
Kagekatsu Kamigami had been prepared for a long time and was preparing to attack with a quite perfect defense system. In the early stage of the battle, Kagekatsu Kamigami actually gained a certain advantage. Tokugawa Ieyasu's army set out, held a military meeting in Edo Castle, and ordered Mogami Gi
Hikari and others invaded Aizu from Yonezawa Pass, Maeda Toshikatsu, Hori Hideharu and others from Echigotsukawa Pass. Ieyasu set out from Edo and marched into Aizu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's several armies, from a few rest assured, jointly attacked Kamigama Kagekatsu. The main force was of course the army led by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. However, something happened during this period. Due to Ishida Mitsunari's army, Ishida Mitsunari raised his army.
Directly threatening Tokugawa Ieyasu's home base, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no choice but to defend his own home base first, and finally failed to fight against several other armies.
The other armies were no match for Kagekatsu Kamigami, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops first. After Tokugawa Ieyasu withdrew, Kagekatsu Kamigami and others had what should be said to be their first disagreement. Some people argue that
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we should pursue it, but Shangshan Jingsheng refuses to agree.
You can see from this that this guy Kagekatsu Kamikama is indeed not as good as Tokugawa Ieyasu, at least far less courageous. Ishida Mitsunari has already raised his troops, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is very powerful, and he is a famous figure from all over the world.
As a thorn in the side, all the daimyo followed suit. The daimyo on Ieyasu's side were also in an embarrassing situation because their wives and children were detained in Osaka. Now is a God-given opportunity. As long as he actively contacts, takes the initiative to attack, and advances in parallel, victory will be achieved.
In front of me, it was a pity that in the end, Shangshan Jingsheng did not take the initiative.
After that, after Tokugawa Ieyasu stabilized his rear area, he once again sent his troops to attack Kagekatsu Kamishiro. This time, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not divide his troops, but after gathering the army, he pushed directly over. Although Kagekatsu Kamikachi was active,
He tried to deal with it, but he was defeated step by step.
Zeng Yi and the others are always paying attention to the war in the island country. To be honest, they have watched the battles between hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains. These seemingly fierce wars in the island country look like a fight between county magistrates.
"Made, this Shangshan Jingsheng is too cowardly. He has wasted a great opportunity. Now he is losing ground. With his strength, he really can't withstand it for long!"
"Let's think of a way. If there is no external intervention, the failure of Kagekatsu Kamigami will basically be settled. Once Tokugawa Ieyasu annexes Kagekatsu Kamigami's power, Tokugawa Ieyasu will really be the only one in the family!"
The fourth child pondered for a moment and then said: "Since Shangshan Kagekatsu's defeat is irreversible, let's find a way to make Tokugawa Ieyasu pay more! At the very least, we must find a way to destroy his navy!" Toyotomi
Most of Hideyoshi's naval forces were inherited by Tokugawa Ieyasu, except for the unit sent to Korea that was annihilated by the Noshu Navy. The remaining small part was in the hands of Kagekatsu Kamikami.
"Currently, the main problem of Kamikaze Kage is the lack of defensive weapons. Their numbers are inferior to Tokugawa Ieyasu. If there are no defensive weapons, it will be difficult to defend Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
"Defensive weapons? There's nothing we can do about this. Don't say we don't have it. Even if we do, we can't support the islanders!"
"Who said we should do it ourselves? Didn't Shangshan Kagekatsu inherit part of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's navy? You can give him advice and let him dismantle the navy's crossbows!"
"Dismantle the ballistas of the Navy Army!... That's true!" Of course Zeng Yi and others can't give Shang Shan Jingsheng any advice. As long as the four of them dare to sacrifice their lives, they are now the island nation and the Central Plains.
Relationship, chop them into mincemeat in minutes!
However, Zeng Yi and the others had no solution, which does not mean that the pro-military governor's office had no solution. The pro-military governor's office had been working for so long, and some people had been placed among the major forces in the island country. Shangshan Jingsheng, as the second-largest
Tokugawa Ieyasu's power naturally also had people who were pro-military captains. Although their positions were not high, they could still do it if they gave some advice.
The suggestion of using ship-based weapons and pressing them against the city wall to defend Tokugawa Ieyasu soon reached the ears of Kamishiro Kagekatsu. Naturally, the navy under Kamishiro Kagekatsu strongly opposed this opinion. The navy of the island country
The relationship with the Army has always been very bad, and the Navy was naturally unwilling to ask the Navy to dismantle its ship-borne weapons to support the Army.
It is a pity that except for the navy in the future, all the generals under Shangshan Jingsheng supported this opinion. Shangshan Jingsheng was beaten and had no choice but to grit his teeth and adopt this opinion. The navy under him was soon beaten.
Ship-borne weapons were dismantled.
These ship-based weapons really caused a lot of trouble for Tokugawa Ieyasu. The army's offensive pace slowed down immediately, and the casualties increased straightly. When Shangshan Kagekatsu saw this result, he was overjoyed. He was still a little worried at first.
His heart was swallowed directly into his stomach. Shang Shang Jingsheng was happy, but Tokugawa Ieyasu was not so happy. Faced with the sudden increase in the number of casualties, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no choice but to order the troops to stop the offensive first.
Just when Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops stopped their offensive, Zeng Yi sent a letter to the pro-military commander-in-chief and sent it back to the capital. In the letter, Zeng Yi and the old prince elaborated on the current form of the island country and suggested that the old prince should
The prince can directly dispatch the navy fleet, take advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides, annihilate the island country's navy, and make preparations for future landing operations.
The old prince discussed with several important ministers and felt that there was no danger in sending a navy. Even if it was made of hard steel, the remaining strength of the island country's navy would not be able to cause any devastating blow to the navy of the southern part of the Central Plains.
After receiving the order, the Southern Navy immediately contacted people from the pro-army Duwei Mansion in Busan and got in touch with the Central Plains. (To be continued)
