Beiyang new warlord

Regarding the Sekigahara War, many people have the illusion that Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately became the shogun after the battle. The two sides fought for the world. The target of the majority of the main force is still the Toyotomi family, but it is just an infighting between the civil servant faction headed by Ishida Sanshi and the generals faction who was fooled by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the Toyotomi family retainers. A full three years later, Tokugawa Ieyasu announced the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and 15 years later, the Tokugawa family was ready to attack the Toyotomi family.

Although Masanori Fukushima belongs to the Eastern Army, he can be regarded as half a loyal minister of the Toyotomi family. Although he did not respond to Toyotomi Hideyori's call during the Osaka battle, he still acquiesced in taking away the grain and grass resources that the Toyotomi family hoarded in the Hiroshima domain , because this matter was suspected by the Tokugawa family, they made excuses that Fukushima Zhengzheng repaired the city wall without the permission of the shogunate, and was deprived of his territory and demoted to Chongjin. The Banner family, which became 51 shi, had to go to Edo to live under the fence.

However, the influence of the Toyotomi family is everywhere. The Hiroshima Domain is inherited by the old minister of the Toyotomi family, the son of Asano Nagamasa, Asano Risei, the son of the Fifth Asano Nagamasa, and today the Hiroshima Domain has been handed down to the third generation of the feudal lord, Asano Mitsusei.

When the Maori family raised their troops a while ago, Asano Mitsusheng was leading the [-] samurai from the Hiroshima domain to perform a pilgrimage and was on standby at Edo Castle. His troops were incorporated into the Matsudaira Nobuzuna team and participated in the counterattack against the Maori family.

But good guy, I lost my home by participating in it, and now that the army is gathering, you want me to continue to participate and lose my home?This Asano Guangsheng's mentality exploded. On April [-], the third day Mao Jue led his army northward, this guy led [-] samurai retainers of the Hiroshima Domain to go east to greet him in person, bowed down and joined the Western Army lineup.

His surrender made the Maoli family feel uncomfortable. In all likelihood, the territory passed down from their ancestors in An Yun Country would never be taken back. They couldn't drive out their lord Daiming, right?But for Mao Jue, Asano Guangsheng was someone like Yu Song Jiang in time, and he came too timely.

This guy is the first Eastern Army daimyo camp to join him. He is a banner. After accepting Asano Guangsheng, Mao Jue took him as the vanguard and almost marched to receive the backup, backup, and beauty. Harima and other leading countries, because the lord led the army to leave along the way, the retainers of various families who were left in the territory like headless flies had to lean towards him.

An extra [-] to [-] troops is actually not a big deal for Mao Jue. The real meaning is the local order represented by those retainers. Thanks to Japan's vassal system, the shogunate only cares about the lord's name and cannot directly intervene in the vassal government , Matsudaira Nobuzuna retreated, although he took as much as he could, but after all, he did not dare to clear the walls along the way. If he really wanted to do that, even if he won, the shogunate would lose too much popularity. After coming over, the local supplies began to nourish Mao Jue's army one after another like spring water in spring.

Here, Yuan Chonghuan, who Mao Jue had worked so hard to recruit to his subordinates, played a big role again. To be honest, Mao Jue really didn't like the two brushes of Yuan Dushi in the war. Yuan Chonghuan's greatest talent was to stabilize the place. A chaotic Liaodong experienced the great victory of Ningjin in his hands, and regained its footing. Those loose and domineering Liaodong generals were also combed into a rope by him. It showed too many flaws, but in history, after Yuan Chonghuan died, Liaodong fell apart.

Looking at the battle of Songjin fought by Hong Chengchou, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, fled first, and then Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Li Fuming and others followed and fled. They were also ambushed by the Qing army on the way, and they were killed on the Bijia mountain and sea. Overwhelming, 13 people hardly escaped back.

In the next few days, a strange scene appeared in the marching team. A large sedan chair carried by eight people was filled with heavy books. Lying on a table and writing straight, raising his head from time to time and yelling, the letters were rushed out by the military scouts waiting next to him.

This account book that Xie Jue felt dizzy after reading it, he sorted it out like the few acres of vegetable fields in the backyard of his own house. He handpicked it. Before Mao Jue's army arrived, the Japanese had already ordered the military supplies to be transported to the road that the army must pass. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's famous Chinese retreat was even pre-cooked rice hung on mules , The soldiers kept walking, and when they were hungry, they would grab the food and eat it. Mao Jue was good, as soon as someone cooked the food, the army could just leave.

What's more worth mentioning is that Yuan Dushi has a little girl next to him. When he was writing seriously, Chiyohime, the princess of Toyotomi's family, was lying on the edge of the table with such beautiful eyes. As soon as the inkstone was dry, she immediately poured ink into it.

Fortunately, her identity was not announced. If it is known that the princess of the Toyotomi family is like a concubine serving Mao Jue's praise document like a concubine, those famous names who have worshiped the Toyotomi family will not explode.

Passing by on horseback, peeking into the sedan chair, Mao Jue scratched the back of his head enviously, but immediately, there was a coughing sound behind him, looking back, holding a stack of military affairs, Adelaena intentionally Turning his little head aside, his little mouth pouted cutely.

No matter what race the women are from, no matter if they are white or yellow, jealousy is a common thing, and they couldn't help but laugh again. Mao Jue shook his head with a smile, and then kicked the horse's stomach violently.

"drive!"

"Hey!"

This guy didn't come to coax him, but ran away. Adelaina was really shaken by him unexpectedly. The astonishment on Qiaoli's face flashed away, and then she was furious and kicked the horse violently. abdomen.

It was not easy for this calm woman to lose her composure. In the long line, a cavalry rushed past like a hurricane, and each Dongjiang infantry seemed to have heard the triumphant laughter of their own generals.

This can be regarded as the longest battle since Mao Jue crossed, and it also went through the Great March of China. On May [-]st, the holiday time for later generations around the world, Mao Jue led the army and finally walked out of most of Kansai and arrived at Settsu country, the Ishiyama Honganji Temple that once made Oda Nobunaga fall into the sand several times, and the pride of Toyotomi Hideyoshi Osaka Castle.

It’s just that it’s not Nobutsuna Matsudaira who was waiting here at this time. More than 27 shogunate troops are waiting in Osaka’s majestic castle, with layers of flags and family emblems all over the sky. , and even covered the Osaka City Wall behind him.

And in the middle of the entire huge army formation, a huge screen of military vassals hung there, and the dazzling black clover pattern looked down majestically on the Xiguo army that was forming into the field like a huge eye.

The shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu has arrived! He also brought 11 Fuso elites including the Tohoku daimyo Date family.

"This, this is the Fusang of the small country of Quer"

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many large armies in my life. They are full of dark warriors. They wear big-horned helmets, antler helmets, ghost masks, and wolf-tooth masks. Seeing how much there is, Yu Dacheng's legs are limp, his teeth are trembling, and he yelled in disbelief.

Also riding a horse to meet the front, Mao Jue, who was just a temporary worker of a small otaku a few years ago, had a sneer and an excited fighting spirit on his face.

"The place where hegemony begins!"

Chapter 286. The Beacon of Osaka

Compared with the shock brought by the shogunate army to the Western Army, Mao Jue actually brought far more shock to the Wa Kingdom.

Two years ago, Mao Jue was just a small side trouble in that remote place in Kyushu. A year ago, Mao Jue was just one of the troubles that made the shogunate look ugly. Now, he has become the confidant of the shogunate. Landed in Kyushu in May, and had already swept half of Japan in May, bringing a full 16 horses to compete with his Tokugawa family for the world.

The third-generation general Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't even figure it out. When his father, Tokugawa Hidetada, who was called cowardly, prejudiced, and fatuous, was alive, the world was peaceful, but just as he took over the power, he wanted to show off his plans. During the time of the New Deal for an unknown period of time, the world suddenly became chaotic.

Could it be that this temple has no virtue?Can't sit in the position of the world's people?

On the night of May [-]st, the entire shogunate shogunate quarreled into a pot of gruel. The pro-vassal, Pudai, and even the outsiders were full of resentment, and they all opened their mouths to curse Matsudaira Nobuzuna who ordered to retreat. At this time, even the original plan to work together Aoyama Xingcheng, who was advancing and retreating, dared not speak here, but on the throne, Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a daze like a lost soul, and he didn't listen to the quarrels of the subordinates at all.

Before the war started, a shadow was cast over the shogunate.

After arguing for a long time, the Fudai daimyo Sakai Ieji impetuously knelt down before the throne.

"Your Highness, General! Master Matsudaira abandoned Xiguo, please judge the crime!"

Only then did he come back to his senses, but Tokugawa Iemitsu's words were completely opposite to what a group of retainers expected.

"Mr. Nobuzuna! This battle, how do you think it should be fought!"

"Send messengers to the Western Army's barracks first, and negotiate peace. The shogunate can cede Kyushu Island in exchange for Ming's retreat!"

"Songping boy, do you still want to betray the country and harm the people? You are still a Sanhe boy! If you are afraid of death, you should go back, this battle will be fought by us warrior men!"

Almost out of anger, Date Tsunamune of the Sendai Clan even pulled out his knife, but what Matsudaira Nobuzuna said, even Masakatsu Inaba, the opposition who hated him, couldn't help but nod slightly Nodding, the old guy slapped the floor hard.

"With the sword drawn in front of the general, is the Date family planning to rebel?"

During the scolding of the cup, dozens of daimyo below fell silent for a while, and immediately Masakatsu Inaba kowtowed to Iemitsu Tokugawa again.

"General, the army is exhausted today, and the enemy army hastily rushed in. Tomorrow, we will definitely not be able to fight. How about retreating first, resting for a night, and then making a decision?"

The old guy is considered a treacherous minister, but often a treacherous minister wins the heart of the lord the most. Seeing that he is meaningful, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately nodded in agreement.

"Let's disperse today. All the big names will return to the camp to rectify their troops. They will go out at any time in the near future to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Under Tokugawa Iemitsu's order, a large group of daimyo retainers had to withdraw from the Chinese army in groups of three or five in resentment, but this blatant demand for Matsudaira Nobuzuna to be dealt with is nothing now.

However, taking advantage of the darkness, a team of messengers set off anyway.

Western Army, Noda Village Camp.

When the shogunate army was still busy pursuing accountability, Mao Jue was much more dedicated. On a big table, dozens of generals were discussing how to fight this battle. After all, compared with the shogunate's nearly 30 troops, The Western Army is only 16, and Kankan is almost half of the opponent.

However, compared with the Western Army in history, the Western Army at this time is much more active. First of all, the Mori family is already on the blacklist of the shogunate for those who have no way out. If they lose, they will die. The newly re-emerged Changzonggabu family, the Asano family of the Hiroshima domain in Anyun Country, is similar. They have betrayed the shogunate, and the shogunate will not let him go.

The Kuroda family, the Shimadzu family, the Nabeshima family and other big names in Kyushu, who are still a bit retreating, have to weigh it. How miserable the Maori family who did not fight in Nangongshan before the war suffered after the war. It is their foresight and the gathered three There are tens of thousands of samurai ronin, many of them are descendants of famous families who fell with the rise of the Tokugawa family, and even the descendants of the former Hiroshima feudal lord Masanori Fukushima are among them. Whether they can rise again depends on this battle up.

But in the middle of the military discussion, Mao Li suddenly came in hurriedly, and whispered in Mao Jue's ear, Mao Jue was really stunned when he heard it.

"Is there someone from the Tokugawa family?"

"Let him in!"

To be honest, the Eastern War has the same gameplay as the Eastern War. Both families wanted to strangle each other and fight to the death. However, before the war, the envoys communicated and emphasized their own righteousness. However, Mao Jue often ignored this point and fought against the island country. It's really like a pirate, come and fight whenever you want.

This envoy's reception was a bit of a novelty.

The other daimyo couldn't help raising their appetites. Many family members were still hostages in Edo, and the opponent was the shogun after all, No. 1 in the world. Before the war, what conditions he could propose touched everyone's heart.

After a while, a general and small group of people wearing a tall hat, wearing a Tibetan black warrior's battle robe, and a three-petal sunflower pattern printed on the back were brought in. Looking at a tent of Han, Han and Japanese, they first looked around, and then the young man Just then he bowed heavily, and took out a yellow book of covenant from his sleeve.
