After the Southern Navy annihilated Tokugawa Ieyasu's naval fleet, it did not leave the island country's waters. Instead, it went directly north and sailed around the island. The Southern Navy fleet certainly did not do it to show off its power. After this circle, I don't know who was under the daimyo's banner in various parts of the island country.
All the naval forces were eliminated one by one by the southern navy. Even the shipbuilding industry that the island country had restored with the help of Persia was once again destroyed by the Central Plains. It can be said that overnight, the island country once again became a country without coastal defense.
Also because of the strong intervention of the Central Plains navy, the island country was in chaos. Suddenly, the situation became calm. The daimyo from all over the country and even Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had already reached the ground of Shangshan Jingsheng, stopped their actions and all reduced their troops. Zeng Yi and others deduced that
, These island country bosses are afraid of the intervention of the Central Plains, and are preparing to deal with the Central Plains' attack.
"Made, shouldn't it be said that in order to deal with the outside world, one must first settle the domestic situation? Why are there so many unanimous intentions in dealing with the outside world?"
Fortunately, after the Central Plains Southern Navy fleet circled the island, they evacuated the island country and returned to Busan to recuperate. However, after a few days of waiting in tight formations, the daimyo from all over the island country found that the Central Plains had not sent troops to intervene. They had already evacuated after destroying the navy.
Although everyone was very angry, they had no choice but to turn around and start civil strife again.
Although Kagekatsu Kamikama lost a very important port city and allowed Tokugawa Ieyasu to penetrate into the hinterland, the Central Plains navy destroyed Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy, which indirectly shattered Tokugawa Ieyasu's original plan.
The action brought a halt to all disputes in various parts of the island country, and even gave Shangshan Jingsheng some breathing time.
Shang Shangjing used this time to mobilize troops and generals, and began to rearrange his troops. Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan was indirectly shattered by the Central Plains navy. Fortunately, he had occupied part of the city along the coast, which could be regarded as reluctant and occupied.
The important ports were connected together. Although troops could not be transported by sea, they could still discharge large armies along this narrow passage and penetrate deep into the hinterland of Shangshan Jingsheng.
Kamishiro Kagekatsu also knew the threat he was facing, and he used that force to stabilize it and mobilized troops to cut off the passage of Tokugawa Ieyasu's army. After the Central Plains Navy retreated, Kamishiro Kagekatsu took the initiative to attack.
Several armies were divided into several groups to besiege the cities occupied by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the early days of the battle, Uesugi Kagekatsu also achieved some victories. Uesugi retainer Matsumoto Izu and others led more than 2,000 subordinates and natives to march into Shimokura Castle from Hirose and Yabukami. In the first battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu's 600 defenders were annihilated.
, but Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately dispatched all Hori Naoyoshi's troops to launch an operation and rushed to Shimokura Castle. Hori Naoyoshi knew that although Izu and others had a small number of troops, they were accustomed to fighting. Although the native people were powerful, they were just a mob. Only
Needing to defeat Izu, the natives and others collapsed without a fight. Ninjas were arranged in front of the station, and Izu was assassinated in one battle, and the city was easily recaptured. After that, although Uesugi's former ministers also once attacked other places, etc., they were all defeated because of their strength.
The gap was too big, and the expected results were not achieved, and they were repulsed one after another.
Kagekatsu Shangshan took the initiative to attack, and although he achieved certain results, it was far from what he expected. Tokugawa Ieyasu finally started to counterattack after holding on to Kagekatsu Shangshan's offensive.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's tens of thousands of troops entered the occupied port city along the narrow passage, and then launched an offensive together with Tokugawa Ieyasu's other armies, attacking Shangshan Kagekatsu from both sides.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, facing such an offensive, could only retreat steadily.
Shangshan Kagekatsu had the opportunity to spend all his money, and this was able to stabilize the situation. At this time, Shangshan Kagekatsu himself also understood that he was no longer a match for Tokugawa Ieyasu, and now he was just hanging on for dear life.
Well, facing the pressure from Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shangshan Kagekatsu had to consider a way out.
Whether to fight to the death for honor, or to obey Tokugawa Ieyasu for the survival of the family name. I have to admit that this is a dilemma, and Shangshan Jingkatsu has been wandering between the two. Not long after the two sides started fighting, Tokugawa Ieyasu's
Adviser Honda Masanobu, through the Uesugi family retainer Chisaka Tsushimamori Keichichika, who was left behind in Fushimi, issued the advice to surrender. In addition, due to the persuasion of Rinzai Nixixiao and Tokugawa Ieyasu's deployment of troops and the threat of force, finally
Shangshan Jingsheng compromised.
Kagekatsu Kamikawa took the initiative to plead guilty to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu originally intended to kill this guy who had caused him heavy losses, but considering the impact, Tokugawa Ieyasu could only pretend to be open-minded and bypass Kagekatsu Kamikawa.
However, the fierce fighting between the two sides caused Tokugawa Ieyasu to suffer such serious losses. Tokugawa Ieyasu would not let him go easily. As the saying goes, if you can avoid the death penalty, you will never escape. The Uesugi family's seal was reduced from Aizu to 1.2 million koku.
Yonezawa's 300,000 koku. This should be a pretty good result. You must know that the Mori family, which had been standing by and watching this battle from beginning to end, also had its seal reduced from 1.2 million koku to 360,000 koku. According to Uesugi
During the period when Shi was in Sekigahara, he fought a series of fierce battles with the Eastern Army. Even if Kagekatsu did not end up in a different place like other daimyo, it would be natural for the Uesugi family to be recast and Kagekatsu to be exiled.
In this battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu suffered very heavy losses, especially because of the unnecessary casualties caused by the Central Plains. However, after Tokugawa Ieyasu annexed Shangshan Kagekatsu's forces, Tokugawa Ieyasu not only restored the lost power instantly, but even compared to the battle
Currently, there has been some growth.
With the elimination of Kagekatsu Kamikama, the island nation no longer has a single force that can pose a threat to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu is a dominant family, so much so that some weak daimyo, even if they defect to Tokugawa Ieyasu
.This also allowed Tokugawa Ieyasu's power to increase again.
Zeng Yi and the four people who quietly logged into the island country again felt a little bit pained when they learned about this situation, "Madeh thought it could weaken some of Tokugawa Ieyasu's strength, but now it seems that the effect is not great! Other famous names,
Are they all just cowards? Waiting for others to come up and eliminate them in turn?"
"Hey, there's no other way. Let's ask the pro-military governor's office to help them again!" The pro-military governor's office came out again, but this time it wasn't spreading rumors, but praising Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
I noticed these comments, but I heard they were compliments for him, so I ignored them. Apparently he didn't know that there is a kind of praise called flattery!
Tokugawa Ieyasu was exaggerated by the pro-military captain's office. Of course, some private work was also included in this. Tokugawa Ieyasu's achievements were exaggerated, and his other achievements were also exaggerated. The most exaggerated one was his treatment of opponents.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Army said that as long as his opponents were defeated by him, none of them would end up alive! (To be continued)
