After Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated Kagekatsu Kamikami and annexed his forces, more than six or seven levels of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's former power fell into Tokugawa Ieyasu's hands. Although the navy was destroyed, Tokugawa Ieyasu is still the most powerful island nation.
famous name!
Of course Zeng Yi knew that Tokugawa Ieyasu was the strongest. After looking at everyone, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the purpose of our attack on the island country is for the wealth of the island country!" As soon as Zeng Yi said this, everyone reacted, just as Zeng Yi said
In other words, the Central Plains attacked the island country just for money, and the one with the most wealth must also be the strongest Tokugawa Ieyasu. After all, Tokugawa Ieyasu not only ruled the fiefdom for many years in his own family, but also inherited the power of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who once unified the island country. In
The island country must also be among his richest!
Zeng Yi continued: "Moreover, both Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu have made Osaka their home base. Osaka will definitely store Tokugawa Ieyasu's wealth! I suggest that the army directly log in in Osaka!"
"Log in to Osaka directly? But Osaka, as Tokugawa Ieyasu's hometown, must be heavily guarded. Isn't it a bit risky to attack directly?" After hearing this, the old prince said immediately.
Zeng Yi understood the old prince's caution and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. Although Osaka is guarded by troops, there are only tens of thousands of them. The main force of Tokugawa Ieyasu is currently fighting abroad.
, there will not be too many soldiers left in the home base of the rear area. With the strength of the Northern Army, Osaka should be captured soon!"
"And, not far from Osaka, is Kyoto, the capital of the island nation!"
Upon hearing this, several people had different expressions on their faces. Guo Juxia immediately said: "The island country is different from our Central Plains. The emperor of the island country, who is also the emperor, does not have much power. The people who control the island country are basically
Powerful princes, although the emperor has no power, the royal family is also safe. After so many years, the princes who control the island country have changed a lot, but the nominal emperor, the emperor of the island country, is still a direct line of the royal family. In other words, the island country’s royal family
, has accumulated wealth for more than ten generations, or even dozens of generations. If you can get the wealth of the island country's royal family, then the court will not have to worry about it in the coming year or even the next year!"
As soon as Guo Juxia said these words, Zeng Yi knew that it was basically done to send troops to the island country and land in Osaka. Sure enough, after a moment, the old prince gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just log in in Osaka!"
After making the decision, the court immediately took action. Zeng Yi and others set off again, but this time they set out with the Minister of War, Wan Huojing and others. The destination was also North Korea. Wan Huojing came with orders to the Northern Army.
The order to send troops came.
The Northern Army and the Southern Navy Fleet, upon receiving the order from the Ministry of War, immediately began to take action. North Korea had long wanted the Northern Army and the Southern Fleet to leave, especially after the Southern Fleet destroyed the island country's navy, which basically resolved the crisis in North Korea.
I don't even want to bear the burden of food and fodder for so many people in the Northern Army.
Although North Korea repeatedly wrote to the old prince and even lobbied important officials in the court, the Northern Army and Navy still did not retreat. North Korea had paid so much and they did not retreat. But now that the Northern Army suddenly made a move to retreat, the North Koreans suddenly felt
It was abnormal. After asking many people, they finally got some information. Knowing that the Northern Army was probably going to attack the island country with the navy, North Korea was very happy, even more excited than the Central Plains.
North Korea even took the initiative and proposed to the Northern Army General that it could help send tens of thousands of soldiers. The Northern Army had just experienced the Korean War and knew the North Korean troops very well. To be honest, the Northern Army was afraid that the North Koreans would hold them back and would not be able to help when the time came.
I'm so busy, I have to send someone to rescue them!
The Northern Army was unwilling to lead North Korea, and the imperial court would not allow North Korea to seize the imperial court's spoils. The Northern Army simply denied that it would attack the island country. The North Koreans had no way to deal with the Northern Army's obvious lies, as they had no water.
The army and the court did not speak up, and they did not even have the means to reach the island country. There was no way, the court always refused to agree, and in the end North Korea had no choice but to give up and send troops to the island country to take revenge.
...
Soon the Southern Navy set off with the Northern Army. This time, the Southern Navy fleet was deployed in full force. Even many transport ships without firepower set off. The goal was very clear, which was to attack Osaka. The island country also had no
However, after entering the waters of the island nation, the Central Plains navy fleet was still cautious, mainly because they were afraid that their intentions would be discovered, and it would be more difficult to attack Osaka at that time.
Soon the fleet arrived in the central area of the island country. There was no rush to attack Osaka. The naval fleet stopped dozens of nautical miles away from Osaka. The Northern Army first sent out some scouts and landed secretly in small boats. The purpose was to engage in
Knowing the current defense of Osaka, Zeng Yi and others were also on this small boat.
Since the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu occupying this place, Zeng Yi and the others have not been to Osaka, so they are not very clear about the current situation in Osaka and must investigate first.
After landing secretly, Nakahara and others divided their troops into two groups. The Northern Army's scouts were all ordinary scouts. It was not easy for them to sneak into Osaka, so their mission was mainly to investigate the situation outside Osaka, and inside Osaka.
It was still handed over to the pro-military Duwei Mansion.
After the troops were divided into two groups, Zeng Yi and the four men immediately put on disguises. After the navy was annihilated, Tokugawa Ieyasu obviously also made some defenses. Before entering Osaka, Zeng Yi and the four men discovered that the Osaka City Wall
There were a lot of ship-borne ballistae deployed on the city wall. "Tokugawa Ieyasu actually imitated Kamikaze Kagekatsu and pressed the ship-borne ballistae against the city wall!"
"Haha, it's very possible that these ballistae dismantled the ballistae on the city of Shangshan Kagekatsu. After all, all the naval forces from Tokugawa Ieyasu to the navy were sunk!"
The fourth child smiled and said, "Shangshan Jingsheng used these crossbows to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the effect was very good, but if you want to deal with the Northern Army, it obviously won't have much effect. The second child asked you to join the military governor's mansion."
People, mark the coordinates of those ballistae in detail, and when the time comes to launch an attack, the navy's first wave of firepower will be able to carry out these ballistae!"
Zeng Yi nodded, "Don't worry, it will be easy for the Imperial Guard's Mansion to figure out the location of those ballistae!"
Afterwards, the four of them disguised themselves as samurai from the island country and sneaked into Osaka without any trouble. Compared to the time when Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Osaka has regained its vitality. At least there are more people doing business on the streets. "I had to
He said that Tokugawa Ieyasu is indeed very capable. He can restore the vitality of Osaka in such a short time!" (To be continued)
