On the evening of May 20, the Oda army finally fled back to Kuroda Castle, the starting point of the attack, in embarrassment. The Saito family did not pursue them and withdrew their troops before sunset.
In this battle, the Oda family suffered heavy losses. Not only did they suffer multiple defeats when they were ambushed, but they were also severely scarred by the pursuit of the Saito family's army. Only 6,000 people from the 9,000-strong army at the time of the expedition escaped back to Owari. The remaining 3,000 people
People were either killed in battle or captured, or lost contact due to the collapse, and it is not known whether they can return to the establishment. The loss was more than 30%, which can be said to be comparable to the disastrous defeat of Oda Nobuhide in the Battle of Kanaguchi. And this battle brought
Almost all the baggage they brought with them was lost, and countless armors and weapons were lost.
Owari has been facing a shortage of men due to consecutive battles, and this campaign has made the situation worse. The Oda family is likely to encounter the dilemma of having empty territory but being unable to raise an army. According to Niwa Nagahide's estimation, the Oda family
Now we can only mobilize 9,000 people despite the sky, and our strength has dropped to what it was on the eve of the Battle of Okehama.
From Oda Nobunaga to the ashigaru of the Oda family, everyone has lingering fears about this fiasco. At the post-war evaluation meeting, Oda Nobunaga scolded all his subordinates one by one, and it was difficult to eliminate them.
The resentment in their hearts. The retainers dared not express their anger. In fact, everyone knew that the biggest decision-making mistake in this battle came from Oda Nobunaga himself.
As time went by, more details about this battle were spread throughout the land of Nomi. It turned out that many wealthy families in Nishi Mino had long been prepared to ambush Oda Nobunaga, instead of doing it temporarily. They deliberately
They did not support Saito Ryuuki just to force Saito Ryuuki to give up the power of the center, and at the same time lure Oda Nobunaga to intentionally go deep into Mino territory. And they spread that "the alliance of Nishi-Mino wealthy families is about to rescue Inabayama Castle"
", was actually just a cover to force the Oda family to retreat, thus giving the Nishi-Mino wealthy family the opportunity to ambush calmly on the only way to retreat. They imposed martial law in advance to block the news in order to quietly lurk to the west bank of the Nagara River.
, to give Oda Nobunaga a fatal blow.
A complete defeat, with no way to fight back. This time Oda Nobunaga was completely defeated at the hands of the Nishi Mino wealthy family, which ruined Oda Nobunaga's prestige. He originally became famous through the surprise attack on Narumi Castle.
, has now become the laughing stock of people. In contrast, it is the famous Takenaka Shigeharu, the planner of this battle on the Mino side. It is said that from the formulation of the plan, the liaison between the wealthy families, to the forced Zhai
Takenaka Shigeharu played an important role from Fuji Ryuuki's compromise to the final tactical arrangement. For a time, the title of "Mino's Kirin" resounded throughout Nobi.
·
The wealthy family of Nishi Mino also took advantage of their great victory after the war and raised troops under the walls of Inabayama Castle, forcing Saito Ryuuki to fulfill his promise. Hineno Hiroshi, Naomitsu Takekamo and other direct ministers were removed from Inabayama Castle.
After rushing back to their territory, the Joint Council of Ministers officially replaced Saito Ryuuki's team and became the central brain. Ando Mamoru, as the person sent by Nishi Mino to "protect Saito Ryuuki", led the
The troops were stationed in the barracks outside the west gate of Inabayama Castle. Part of the troops directly under the Saito family were transferred to Ghana City, and the other part was rushed to station outside the north gate of Inabayama Castle. Public security and order in Inabayama Castle
, was also handed over to Ando Mamoru's cronies, and Saito Ryuuki was completely controlled.
The first thing the Simino wealthy families did after taking power was to sever their alliance with the Asai family, who had had many conflicts with them, and instead formally form an alliance with the Rokkaku family. In the era of Saito Yoshiryu, for the convenience of Shangluo, Saito
The Fuji family and Rokkaku had already had many contacts. When the Asai family learned about this, they were very angry, but they had to carefully prepare their troops for war to prevent the enemy from attacking Kitaomi from two directions.
·
His gaze returned to Owari.
Although the Oda family was completely defeated in this battle, there was still something outstanding - that was Yu Qiupei and Tokiwa Bei. On the battlefield full of crises, Yu Qiupei's calmness in the face of danger and Tokiwa Bei's speed were dazzling.
The formation change left a deep impression on the retainers of the Oda family. Yuqiupei also relied on Tokiwabei's training to escape the fate of heavy losses. The casualties suffered by the Yuqiu family during this expedition have not reached 10%.
, recovery is not a problem.
After this battle, Yu Qiupei suddenly found that he had some feelings for the Oda family. Whether it was the rescue efforts of good friends like Ikeda Tsuneaki, Mori Katsunari, Maeda Toshiie, or Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, etc.
Yu Qiuping was deeply moved by the fact that enemies who usually disliked each other fought for him. Suddenly he had an idea in his mind, could he use other methods to kill Oda Nobunaga without anyone noticing?
Let him face off against these colleagues.
After thinking wildly, Yu Qiuping still focused on life - there have been a lot of troublesome things recently. Imagawa Kaede had just given birth to Yu Qiucen, and she was a little fat - Yu Qiuping swears, it was really just a little bit!
Some women don’t gain weight after giving birth! But Imagawa Kaede was so angry that she started practicing martial arts to lose weight just after confinement. As a result, she became tired and sick. Well, I did lose weight.
The figure has also returned to its original appearance, but it makes Yu Qiuping extremely distressed.
Another concern was the education of their two children. Imagawa Feng and Yu Qiuping said that Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu You would be 4 years old after the Chinese New Year, and it was time to hire a teacher to teach them. Yu Qiuping volunteered.
He planned to write his own textbooks and teach them the systematic knowledge of future generations, and also invited Sena Shiyoshi to teach them some financial management issues. However, Imagawa Kaede felt that it was not enough. He thought that Yu Qiupei's teaching method could not be taught.
They are all just the same students, but Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu You are both descendants of the martial arts family and are responsible for passing on the Yu Qiu family's family business. Therefore, a traditional teacher must be hired to teach them the knowledge that Japanese martial arts must learn.
Yu Qiuping thought about it and felt that the one who best fits the image of a teacher Imagawa Kaede needs is Amano Keitoku - a more traditional Japanese samurai who is also very cultured. Amano Keide also agreed to Yu Qiuping's request.
I plan to start teaching these two children after the Chinese New Year.
Other affairs in the territory are proceeding in an orderly manner. The autumn harvest work is carried out under the auspices of Naoe Tadayei, and the judicial power in Yeli County has basically been taken over by the judges. The village chiefs and elders must now be cautious
He stared at the judge's face, fearing that his decision would be declared illegal by the judge. One village chief tried to use his authority to threaten the residents not to go to the judge to decide the case. The judges got wind of this and reported it to Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping immediately sent a platoon of Tokiwa Bei Ashgaru to the village. The village chief immediately became obedient and completely lost all his prestige. He was replaced by the villagers and Yu Qiuping and was exiled.
When the village chief and elders failed to succeed, they tried another plan. They planned to bribe the judges so that they would be lenient to them. However, most of these judges were old brothers who had followed Yu Qiuping for many years and were loyal to Yu Qiuping.
Geng Geng did not accept this trick at all, and reported all the bribery situations to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping immediately sent Amano Jingde to crack down on these situations, and many village chiefs suffered. After that, these local snakes
I have to be honest.
In addition to the jurisdiction of the territory, the work of Sanada Masayuki and Sena Ujiyoshi is also going very smoothly. Sanada Masayuki has expanded the total number of people in the intelligence agency to about 50 people, and his informants have basically spread all over the major towns in Nishi Mino.
Sena Shiyoshi's caravan continued to make huge profits after opening a shop. The four small wealthy families that jointly invested in the shares were almost able to repay Yu Qiuping's debts. Where can I find these small wealthy families who have spent their lives digging in the soil?
The money came in so quickly, and I was immediately moved by what Amakihira promised to share with them. Haizuka Koroku and Nonomura Yukinari even came to visit Amakihira, Hara Yorifusa and Kato Mitsuaki during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Someone also sent gifts.
However, just when Yu Qiuping was obsessed with territory construction, on October 21, he was urgently called back to Qingzhou City by Oda Nobunaga.
·
When Yu Qiupei rode his horse and rushed to Qingzhou City, it was getting late, and Oda Nobunaga was probably asleep. So he took Honda Tadakatsu, Ryuko and several other guards to go to Maeda Toshiie's home in the castle town.
It was just a one-night stay, but I didn't want to bump into a kind of bad friends at Maeda Toshi's house.
I saw Maeda Toshiie, Ikeda Tsuneki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Ikoma Okamasa, Naomasa Naomasa, Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Kinoshita Tokichiro, who I hadn't seen for a long time. Seven people were sitting around a round table drinking, and everyone was red in the face.
The leftovers and wine on the table were in a mess, and the wine was in a mess. At the side, Asong was hunched over his waist, puffing out his cheeks and watching his husband leading a group of people to make the house a mess.
"Oh my god," Yu Qiuping was frightened when he saw the seven drunkards, "What's wrong with you!"
Yu Qiuping's shout attracted the attention of the people at the wine table. Ikeda Hengxing, who was sitting in the direction of Yu Qiuping, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Qiuping with drunken eyes. He was stunned for two seconds. Yu Qiuping
I saw his lips move twice and thought he was about to speak, but unexpectedly this grown man suddenly buried his head into the soup bowl in front of him and burst into tears.
"I'll go! What's going on?" Yu Qiuping asked loudly, really at a loss, "Did the Lord die?"
"The master passed away, how can we be so sad!" Yoshiyuki Sawaki yelled out a rebellious sentence, and then he covered his face and cried bitterly. The two of them cried like this, which immediately caused a chain reaction. It was so beautiful
Those who hear it are saddened, and those who see it cry.
"Mrs. Song, what's going on?" Yu Qiuping asked Asong beside her, dumbfounded.
"Your Highness Yuqiu," Asong bowed politely and replied in a low voice: "Just now, Mr. Kinoshita brought back news that the lord has decided to marry Princess Ashi to Omi."
Hearing this, Yu Qiuping suddenly realized! The historical plot unfolded like this. Oda Nobunaga married his sister Oda Ichi, known as the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period, to Asai Nagamasa, and the two families formed a marriage alliance.
Asai Nagamasa and Oda Ichi also became the divine couple envied by everyone in the Warring States Period because of their talent and beauty. However, this beautiful marriage ended in tragedy.
"Then what are you guys crying about?" Yu Qiuping shook his head and patted the round table with a smile, "Our defeat this time is so debilitating. We can no longer compete with Mino and Oda Nobukiyo with your own abilities.
, so we need to find allies! Asai Nagamasa just had a falling out with the Saito family, so he just happened to form an alliance with us! This is a great thing!"
As soon as Yu Qiuping finished speaking, Ikeda Hengxing suddenly raised his head from the soup bowl. His face was covered with miso soup and seaweed, and his head was wet, but he didn't know it.
"What do you know!" Ikeda Hengxing wailed angrily: "As soon as Princess Ashi got married! All the men in our Owari family were heartbroken!"
Chapter completed!
