The silver collected by the Northern Army began to be transported to the ship in batches. Fortunately, in order to transport the Northern Army's 100,000 troops, the Southern Navy fleet dispatched many large transport ships. Otherwise, such a large amount of silver would be unlucky to return.
.
A preliminary estimate showed that the Northern Army had plundered more than three million taels of silver from the big families in Osaka alone. This did not include the money embezzled by the soldiers. Who could possibly have access to such a large sum of money?
They will not miss this opportunity, but when it comes to serious corruption, it is definitely Zeng Yi and the other four. NPCs do not have backpacks, and there is plenty of corruption.
More than three million, close to four million silver, the Southern Navy Fleet immediately sent fleets to send each other this amount of silver back to the Central Plains. Even fearing that there would be an accident on the road, the Southern Navy directly dispatched two first-class ironclads to form a fleet.
Come and escort.
The Northern Army was conducting such a frenzied search, and Tokugawa Ieyasu soon received news that the Northern Army was searching the major families in Osaka. Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could say anything, his retainers were the first to explode.
The wealth accumulated by their family over several generations has not only been robbed of their wealth, but many families have also been wiped out.
Not long after this news reached Tokugawa Ieyasu, his retainers and subordinates wrote to Tokugawa Ieyasu one after another, requesting Tokugawa Ieyasu to send troops to take back Osaka. With so many subordinates writing at the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu had to consider his retainers.
Views.
At this time, the daimyo from all over the island country also stopped fighting. Facing the invasion from the Central Plains, the island country was relatively united. At least it was not engaged in a large-scale civil war. After listening to the domestic war, Tokugawa was able to mobilize his troops.
Ieyasu, on the advice of his retainers, decided to send a large army to counterattack the Northern Army.
Tokugawa Ieyasu mobilized more than 100,000 troops at one time, and even brought all the few siege equipment in order to deal with the Northern Army. The actions of Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops were quickly noticed by the pro-military capital.
, upon receiving this news, the Northern Army had to stop searching and take countermeasures.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's army was approaching fiercely, but the Northern Army was not too worried. Through the Korean War, the Northern Army had a very good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the island country's soldiers. Now it relied on the defense of Osaka Castle and the fire support of the navy.
It can be said that Tokugawa Ieyasu would not have been able to recapture Osaka Castle without the number of troops several times that of the Northern Army.
The fact is just as the Northern Army thought. Tokugawa Ieyasu's army had just arrived in Osaka, and before the troops were deployed, they were attacked by firepower from the navy in the southern part of the Central Plains. Under the guidance of the Northern Army's scouts and the pro-army Captain's Mansion, Tokugawa Ieyasu
The army's siege equipment was hit by deadly firepower from the Leshui Army before they could launch an attack. Most of the siege equipment was scrapped before they were assembled.
There was no other way. Tokugawa Ieyasu could only order the troops to fight hard, but in the end there was no progress. The soldiers of the island nation stared at the firepower of the Central Plains Navy and the rain of arrows from the Northern Army. Let alone invade Osaka.
Some soldiers did not even touch the city wall and fell on the charging road.
Continuous offensive failures caused heavy losses to Tokugawa Ieyasu's army. Tokugawa Ieyasu had to stop the offensive and think of other ways. Tokugawa Ieyasu was indeed a famous general, and he quickly came up with a way, which was to mobilize the island nation's civilians in Osaka Castle.
, cooperate inside and outside to attack the Northern Army.
To be honest, the Northern Army was a little careless. They did not expect that the civilians of the island country who seemed to have been frightened would really rise up to resist. Instigated by the ninjas sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hattori Hanzo to sneak into Osaka,
Chaos suddenly broke out in Osaka Castle.
This caused great difficulties for the unprepared Northern Army. Fortunately, the Northern Army had rich experience, especially the commander-in-chief, who was decisive in killing and immediately ordered to kill the rebellious people in the island country. If they resisted, they would be killed on the spot.
Tokugawa Ieyasu also took the opportunity to attack again, but still failed to achieve any results. The Northern Army attacked decisively and killed tens of thousands of rioting island nation civilians, which directly shocked the island nation people. The island nation civilians in Osaka Castle rioted, and soon
The Northern Army that was defeated and freed up was simply not something Tokugawa Ieyasu's army could defeat. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan caused some trouble for the Northern Army, it ultimately failed to achieve his goal.
When the plan failed, Tokugawa Ieyasu came up with a plan and ordered Hattori Hanzo to send Jonin to assassinate the Northern Army general. In Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart, as long as the Northern Army general died, the Northern Army would be defeated.
But it is a pity that this problem was anticipated before the Northern Army set out for the expedition. The Northern Army's general was now protected by top-notch experts.
The result is self-evident. Tokugawa Ieyasu failed again. The Jonin he sent was indeed very powerful. Even breaking through the strictly guarded city wall did not arouse the slightest idea of the Northern Army. Unfortunately, when approaching the Northern Army's general, he was defeated by the Northern Army.
The super master next to the general discovered it. If the jounin hadn't been clever and ran fast enough, he would have fallen in. He continued to fail in the frontal battlefield, and his conspiracies also failed to succeed. This was a failure for the island nation.
The blow to morale was huge. After gritting his teeth and trying the last wave of attacks to no avail, Tokugawa Ieyasu had to give up his counterattack on Osaka.
The losses were too great. In a few days, Tokugawa Ieyasu's 100,000-strong army lost more than 20,000 people. In the end, he could not even touch the city wall of Osaka. If this continues, the losses will only get bigger and bigger, and
If the loss is too large, it will have a significant impact on Tokugawa Ieyasu's future situation.
After witnessing the power of the Northern Army in person, Tokugawa Ieyasu's men had nothing to say now, and they did not mention any counterattack on Osaka. After Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated, the Northern Army began to settle accounts after the fall. As long as it was during the war, it would give Germany
All the civilians who had been helped by Kawa Ieyasu's army or who personally participated in the rebellion were arrested. Even if they were dead, their family members would also be arrested.
Overnight, more than half of the civilians in Osaka City were arrested. In fact, the purpose of arresting these civilians was to vent their anger and punish the islanders who dared to resist. On the other hand, it was also for better looting. Previously,
They just ransacked the mansions of the major families in Osaka City. These ordinary civilians had not yet been moved by the Northern Army. Although these civilians did not have much money, they were in Osaka and there were many of them. After looting, they would probably have a lot of wealth.
"No, we only captured half of the civilians. We quickly figured out a way to do the rest. If it doesn't work, we'll arrest everyone who has anything to do with the resistance!" (To be continued)
