Yu Qiuping did not answer Amano Jingde's question at that time. He knew that Amano Jingde had already hit the point. But he could not explain to Amano Jingde: He just wanted the Yu Qiu family to gradually lose their authority in the future, and for the Congress to gradually lose its authority.
Occupy a dominant position - even let Congress choose the head of government. And this is just part of his long "Nuwa Plan". As for that plan, it is actually just a blueprint that was put out in that side hall.
It can't even be called an outline. But right now, in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, it is obviously impossible to let businessmen take the helm. In the chaos, there must be a dictator who can have extremely strong execution and extremely fast action to protect the family.
.
On April 17, the second year of Tensho (1574), the Miyoshi family's general attack on the Nagasogabe family began. To the Miyoshi family's surprise, the attack encountered setbacks at the beginning. Miyoshi Nagakei's main force was in Tosa
The mountains to the north were attacked by a large number of well-armored iron gunners, and the losses were considerable. From Toyonaga to Yamada, the Chosogabe family blocked the attacks at every level along the more than 40-mile mountain road, occupying the advantageous terrain and shooting at Miyoshi from a high position.
military.
Miyoshi Changqing's impression of Changzong's army was clearly a beggar army with an empty number of people and poor equipment. However, the army that appeared in front of him at this moment was always well-equipped and equipped with a large number of iron cannons.
Strengthen the Army. The series of strategies previously formulated by the Mihaoshi family were all laid out with contempt for the combat effectiveness of Changzong's army. They believed that the Mihaoshi family would be able to quickly break through a series of defense lines, so they did not prepare a complete supply line and sufficient baggage.
.This resulted in the Sanhao Middle Route Army having to retreat to the distant Baidi City to resupply and reorganize, re-lay supply lines, and transport food after suffering setbacks in the initial battle.
The situation of the West Route Army and the East Route Army is a little better than that of the Central Route Army - in a sense, it is worse. Neither of them has that much supply pressure, so they do not need to retreat and reorganize after the initial setback. But Mihaojia
None of them had a new understanding of the fighting power of the Chosougabu family, even those who were descended to Ashigaru, so they all suffered heavy losses in a series of local battles. Miyoshi Yoshihiro was imprisoned even before he could see the Nakamura Imperial Palace.
The ground blocked it. Shihe Yicun relied on his outstanding command to break through to the foot of Anyi City, but was helpless because of the large number of iron cannons in the city. As both fronts reached a stalemate, the long supply line also brought trouble to the Mihaoshi family.
Huge pressure. The supply lines of the East Route Army and the West Route Army had to pass through the long mountainous terrain of Tosa Country, so supply was particularly difficult. If you wanted to send one kilogram of rice to the front line, you would have to consume at least five or six kilograms of rice on the way.
"It's time to send the Awaji navy." Looking at the deadlocked battle situation, Juga Yisun couldn't help but shook his head in frustration, "You underestimated the enemy."
If the Awaji Navy is there, supplies along the two coasts can be carried out by fleets, and the pressure on the supply lines will be much lighter. Moreover, with the Awaji Navy here, they can also launch attacks on many coastal military facilities on Tosa Bay, and even land on them.
Inland, break down the defense line of Chang Zong's family.
It stands to reason that to attack a country like Tosa, which is densely mountainous and difficult to travel by land, but has a huge coastline, it is indeed the best choice to attack the land and sea simultaneously. However, the Miyoshi family underestimated the enemy on the one hand, thinking that as long as the Miyoshi family dispatched the main force, they could easily defeat Nagasaki.
There was no need for Sogabe Motochin's army to dispatch the navy; on the other hand, the Miyoshi family was worried that the Oda family would launch an offensive in Kinki and Izumi Province, which was isolated overseas, would be isolated and helpless, so they wanted to keep the Awaji navy in Kinki as support.
Now it turns out that they made a complete misjudgment. The Changzongga family did not know where they got so much sophisticated equipment, so that their combat effectiveness soared. Without the cooperation of the navy, the three-way army of the Sanhao Army was defeated by Changzongga in the rugged and steep mountains.
The troops were blocked and unable to make further breakthroughs, but they were overwhelmed by the supply line.
The Miyoshi family's feeling of underestimating the enemy also infected the always calm Miyoshi Yoshihide. During this period, instead of tightening his surveillance of Tosa, he devoted more experience to Kinki. Therefore, although a lot of information shows that it seems that
Chosogabu Motochin was buying equipment, but Miyoshi Yoshihide didn't take it to heart - he knew the poor financial situation of the Chosogabu family. Where could he have the money to buy the equipment to equip the entire army? At most
Just buying a few hundred sets sporadically is enough.
When the war situation became serious, Miyoshi Yoshixian immediately mobilized the Miyoshi family's ninja organization to conduct an investigation. Only then did he discover that it was the Yuqiu family that had produced thousands of sets of gear and ordnance for the Chosogabe family - this was a huge sum of money.
Ah. I didn’t expect that the Yuqiu family would make such a big sacrifice for the Changzonggabu family—because the Yuanqin of the Changzonggabu family would definitely not be able to afford this money.
By this time, the time had entered June, and the Miyoshi family's food reserves had dropped to a dangerous level. However, except for the East Route Army of Shihe Icun, the other two routes had not made much progress. At the same time, there was also news from Honganji Temple
News came - Oda Nobunaga used a near-bloody massacre to suppress Nagashima Ichikui, and almost razed the area around Nagashima to the ground. After completing all this, Oda Nobunaga did not disband the troops, but directly marched westward. It seemed that there was
He gave up the autumn harvest and attacked Miyoshi's home. Miyoshi Nagakei had no choice but to announce his withdrawal and left Tosa bitterly.
·
After learning that the Miyoshi family finally withdrew, Sakai Town, where the National Assembly is located, immediately fell into ecstasy. The bosses celebrated and held a huge celebration banquet, even happier than when the Yuqiu family won.
However, after the banquet, the far-sighted bosses immediately discovered a new problem - how to ensure that the Changzong family can comply with the treaty. After all, the Yuqiu family is now separated from Tosa by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Without threatening them, there is nothing they can do even if the Chosonggabu Yuanqin immediately breaks the agreement.
Therefore, Imai Munehisa and others immediately contacted Yu Qiupei, hoping that he could quickly build a powerful naval force to ensure that the Hongye Army could cross the sea to Tosa at any time to supervise Nagaso Gabe Motochichi to ensure the rights of merchants in accordance with the previously signed agreement.
.
This, of course, coincides with Yu Qiuping's idea - as an army attacking the Miyoshi family, it is impossible to compete with the Miyoshi family without a navy that can take action. Yu Qiuping then fought with Itami Yasukichi and Sena
After Ujiyi discussed it, he proposed a huge and sky-high budget to the National Assembly for the preparation of the naval army. Although the members of the National Assembly were heartbroken, in the end they rarely approved the budget without bargaining.
As early as many years ago, Itami Yasuki had arranged for people to cut down wood suitable for making warships in the mountain forests east of Hanoi, and carry out air-drying and other treatments. Now, a large amount of wood has been stored in Maple Leaf Mountain City, and is used in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
The drawings and processes for making Western-masted battleships have also undergone many model tests in the Military Industry Department. Everything is ready, and all that is needed is a port that can be used to build a shipyard.
Yu Qiuping originally wanted to build the shipyard in Sakai Port, but was blocked by the Congress.
Opposed. They were worried that the Awaji navy would target the shipyards of Sakai Port, thereby affecting the merchant ships in Sakai Port. To this day, the merchants of Sakai Town still fulfill their promise and hand over a part of their income to the Miyoshi family every year in exchange for Miyoshi.
The Miyoshi family promised not to attack the ships of Sakai Town. However, this time, Sakai Town's strong support for the Tosa Kingdom has angered the Miyoshi family, and the attitude of the Awaji Navy towards the ships of Sakai Town has gradually changed. The businessmen are very worried about Amakihei's shipbuilding at this time.
The factory would reach the limit of the Miyoshi family's tolerance for Sakai Town, so they strongly opposed this proposal.
At the same time, the construction of the coastal defense fort in Sakai Town was in full swing. In order to guard against possible future invasion actions by the Awaji navy, this plan had been proposed many years ago, and preparations had been carried out for a long time. In
Many forts have been built on more than a dozen highlands near the port of Sakai Town. Each fort can theoretically hold more than a dozen cannons, but Yu Qiuping now places one cannon on each fort.
The quantity cannot be produced.
Although the artillery in the fort is a fixed artillery, unlike field artillery, the process requirements are lower, but it is not easy. Even though the Military Industry Department has expanded its recruitment and has a large number of manpower, the speed of artillery production has not been able to increase rapidly.
Itami Yasukoshi made a suggestion to Yu Qiuping to purchase some machines from the Nanman people - mainly machines based on hydraulic boring machines, which can be used to forge artillery. However, Itami Yasukichi did not know whether these machines were sold.
Even if there was one, he didn't know where to buy it. Yu Qiuping asked two foreign businessmen who came to Sakai Port to help look for it. If he could find it, he would pay a lot of money to buy it, and the matter would be lost.
By July of the second year of Tianzheng (1574), the Military Industry Department had crudely produced 3 coastal defense three-pound guns and 1 coastal defense six-pound cannon. However, they did not produce field gun mounts, nor did they reduce the diameter in order to reduce weight.
The complex process involved could not be followed by field troops on expeditions, and could only be left in the fort at Sakai Port as a fixed gun. However, the production of six-pound guns was an innovation. Although it failed many times along the way, it also laid a solid foundation for the future.
Technical experience has been accumulated in the production of field six-pounder guns.
However, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it must be controlled by someone. Those 10 coastal defense guns require at least a 200-person artillery crew and more logistics personnel. The ownership of this unit has been divided between the Congress and the Yuqiu family.
The Congress insists that the troops of the Yuqiu family cannot be stationed in Sakai Town, believing that this coastal defense force should be commanded by the Congress. Yu Qiuping firmly disagrees with allowing the Congress to have its own troops - otherwise, once this gap is opened, the Congress can recruit in the future
With more and more troops, there will be a conflict between the Yuqiu family and the Congress in the future, which is likely to turn into a civil war. Finally, at Yu Qiuping's insistence, the Congress finally gave in and decided that the newly trained troops would belong to the Yuqiu family.
However, Congress has the power to supervise their actions.
With the mass production of artillery, Yu Qiuping also reformed the military system of the Hongye Army. The original quota of three reserve teams increased from 1,200 to 1,500. The excess 300 people included three field troops.
Three-pounder gun battery - but these three-pounder guns have not been produced yet; a platoon of cavalry; the reserve captain's own guard; each reserve's small staff and small military intelligence department. The reason for this organization is that Yu
Qiuping planned for each reserve team to have a complete command system so that they could fight on their own without Yu Qiuping's headquarters.
