Yunan Fukuzawa and his staff stayed behind to command the Rakihara Bei, Yushu Bei and the cavalry company when they landed, Yu Qiuping had already been invited into Uradō Castle by Motochichi Chosoga. It seems that he was collecting the goods yesterday.
After receiving the invitation from Jiangcun's in-laws, the Yuan Qin of the Changzong Division had already started planning a reception banquet for Yu Qiuping. The preparation was quite luxurious and grand, which surprised Yu Qiuping.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness, our Highness." After Yu Qiuping and Yuanqin, our Highness of the Changzong Department, walked into the hall, they sighed in surprise, "I didn't expect His Highness, our Highness, the Changzong Department, to have such rich preparations, which makes me a little uncomfortable.
Sorry."
"I can hear the underlying meaning of His Highness Jibu's words." Nagasou Gabe Motochan was delighted when he heard this, "Are you thinking that Tosa country's products are so poor that we can't prepare such a sumptuous banquet?"
"No, no, no, what are you talking about, Your Highness, Changzong?" Yu Qiuping waved his hands when he saw this, "Am I such a person?"
"His Royal Highness, there is no need to hide or be polite. To be honest, a few years ago, Tosa would not have been able to prepare such a banquet to entertain distinguished guests." Chosame Gabu Motochin chuckled and looked solemnly.
Yan Yuqiuping said, "Everything is a gift from His Highness's merchants. Their arrival not only brought a lot of tax revenue to the Changzong family, but also made them rich after repaying His Highness's loan every quarter. Returning to
The Changzonggabu family has brought products that were unimaginable in the past, and the flow of people has also increased. The entire coastal territory seems to have been revitalized. It is because of them that the Changzonggabu family can now have financial resources.
I have the strength to hold such a banquet." After saying this, Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin paused thoughtfully, and then sighed in a low voice, "It seems that my previous decades were in vain.
, did not realize the importance of merchants at all. It is no wonder that His Highness Zhibu was able to raise the strongest red leaf soldiers in the world when he only had a hundred thousand shi in Hanoi. Now, His Highness sits on a territory of 500,000 shi, and his strength is not what it used to be.
ah."
Yu Qiuping was slightly alarmed by Changzonggabu Yuanqin's words. It was obvious that Changzonggabu Yuanqin had realized the importance of business. Then would he realize later that it was actually a matter of Congress businessmen investing and building factories here?
Is it the exploitation and infiltration of the Changzonggabu family's territory? Do you understand that businessmen from the National Assembly will gradually control the economic lifeline of the Changzonggabu family, and then attack these businessmen?
"However, merchants are still merchants after all, and a small profit is enough to make them like mosquitoes on the sight of blood." Chang Zonggabe Motochin changed the topic and snorted disdainfully, "Those who control the world are ultimately samurai.
Knife and blood."
"What His Highness Chang Zong said is true." Yu Qiuping heard the words and hurriedly responded, hoping to mislead Chang Zong's Yuanqin.
"Please, Your Highness Zhibu. We will be attending the banquet with many important officials from the top to the bottom of the Changzong family. I would like to thank His Highness Zhibu for your support from thousands of miles away and for your great kindness to the Changzong family."
My subordinate, Yuanqin, once again bowed politely and half-bowed, made a "please" gesture to Yu Qiuping, and pointed him to the side seat next to the banquet chairman.
Yu Qiuping smiled when he saw this, and responded with a few words very politely, but he was very clear in his heart.
No matter how humble and polite Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin is to him, he must make it clear that he is the master and the one who calls the shots. The military strength brought by Yu Qiuping this time is almost equal to that of Changzonggabu family, and the combat effectiveness is even better.
If Yu Changzong's family were kind, they might have set up an extra seat for Yu Qiuping next to the chairman. However, Changzong's Yuanqin still placed Yu Qiuping at the head of the side table - usually where the retainers sit.
s position.
Yu Qiuping turned his head and looked at each other tacitly with Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin.
I have the final say here.
It's up to you, I have no intention of robbing you.
·
After the banquet, Yu Qiuping was invited into the secret room by Chozonggabu Motochin, preparing to discuss future command and strategic issues. Also present were the three chiefs, Kira Chisada, Xiangzonggabu Qintai, and Fukudome Chisama.
Important ministers of the Soga family. Yu Qiuping brought Fukuzawa Yunan, Yoshioka Katsumasa and Ogawa Yutong to the meeting.
After sitting down, Yu Qiupei immediately looked at the three of them. Xiang Zong's subordinate Tae Yu Qiupei had known each other before, and Kira Chisada and Fukudome Chisama were easy to identify even if no one introduced them. Kira Chisada is a person who looks a bit weak.
, but a graceful samurai, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of Choso Gabu Motochin. Fukudome Okamasa is an older and rough samurai, with a face full of flesh and a somewhat gray beard, which can be seen at a glance
It turned out that he was a weather-beaten man.
"That's it, Your Highness Jibu." After getting the signal from Chozonggabu Motochin, Xiangzonggabu Qintai spread out a map of Shikoku Island on the table and explained to Yu Qiuping, "Three good things."
This attack at home is very similar to the previous one. It is a three-pronged attack. The middle route army is still the 20,000 main force led by Miyoshi Changqing, while the east route army should be commanded by Shihe Icun's 9,000 Sanuki troops.
, they are currently gathering in Awa Country. As for the Western Route Army, it should be the 8,000 Awa soldiers of Miyoshi Yoshihide, but Miyoshi Yoshihide himself has not yet appeared in the army. And the Awaji Navy Army of Anzhai Fuyoshi seems to be along the Shikoku
March on the east coast of the island."
"Are all the Mihaoshi and four brothers going out..." Yu Qiuping took a breath when he heard this. The last time he saw this battle was in the battle of Kyoto - in that battle, the coalition forces were defeated by the Mihaoshi family.
"What about Miyoshi Yoshihiro's troops? Also, will the Awaji clan of Anzai Toyasu march with the Awaji naval army?" Choso Gabu Motochichi confirmed very cautiously.
"According to our information, they should not have appeared on Shikoku Island. Maybe they are all in Harima. For these, we need to rely on the information of the Oda family." Kira Qinzhen pursed his lips and replied with some hesitation, "For them
I can’t tell you its specific location?”
"It's true that they are all in Harima." Yu Qiupei nodded, recalling the information that Sanada Masayuki revealed to him before he went to sea, "The Sanyodo Army of the Oda family and them were still at odds a few days ago. It's impossible
Withdrawn so quickly."
"That's good." Ji Liangqinzhen sighed with relief after hearing this, "otherwise, with our military strength, it really wouldn't be..."
"Second Young Master, what are you talking about?" Fuliu Qinzheng coughed twice in dissatisfaction upon hearing this, and said in a rough voice, "In the past, we only had more than ten thousand men, and we were not afraid of the army of the Mihaoshi family. Now we have the elite soldiers of His Highness the Ministry.
, no matter how many troops the Three Goods come, why should we be afraid?"
"Last time, the Sanhao family underestimated the enemy. I didn't know that we received so much military support from His Highness, so we took advantage of it." Xiang Zong's Qin Tai advised him, "This time the enemy was well prepared.
Come on, I guess the battle won't be as easy as last time."
"Yes." Fukuzawa Yunan nodded with approval, "Once the Awaji Navy is dispatched, the Miyoshijia East Route Army can completely rely on water supplies for food and grass, and will not face the food and grass crisis like last time. Awaji Water
The army will also provide powerful fire support, making it difficult for the defenders to move forward. And the most powerful general of the Miyoshi family, Tokawa Ichino, personally leads the Sanuki people to the east, which is even more menacing. The pressure on the Tosa East Territory will be very great."
"Then I'm afraid we can only rely on the elite troops of His Highness, the Chief of the Department." Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin immediately took over Fukuzawa Yunan's words and turned his attention to Yu Qiuping, "His Highness, the Chief of the Department, led a reserve team to station in Anyi City.
The front line is to resist the Sanuki people. The other reserve team stays at Xiangzong Castle 40 miles behind. On the one hand, it covers the front line troops, and on the other hand, it serves as a reserve team ready to support the center."
As soon as Chosogabe Motochin said this, Fukuzawa Yunan and Ogawa Yutō both looked angry, and Yoshioka Katsumasa's eyebrows almost knitted together. It was not because of anything else, but because of Chosogabe
Motochin actually wanted to interfere with the specific command of the Hongye Army.
Logically speaking, this kind of specific tactical operation should be completely left to the guest troops themselves. Besides, Yu Qiupei's defensive military strategy has long been famous throughout the world. Even Miyoshi Chokei and Takeda Shingen were amazed. The Hongye Army is no better than Chosunega.
If the army is weak, then why should the commander of the Red Leaf Army let you, the head of the clan, and I, the head of the army, come to dictate?
After Chozonggabu Motochika finished speaking, Kira Chisada and Xiangzonggabu Kintai both looked tense, and even Fukudome Kamamasa glanced at Yu Qiuping with some embarrassment. However, Yu Qiuping didn't express too much
Emotions were revealed. He pressed Yoshioka Shengzheng's thigh with his hand hidden under the desk to signal him not to have an attack. At the same time, he whispered, "Leave the east road to me. Your Majesty, I don't have to worry."
.Although I, Yuqiu Hongye, don’t understand military strategy, the Hongye Army’s reputation as ‘absolute defense’ is not in vain.”
Yu Qiuping's words can be described as both soft and hard. On the surface, he agreed to Changzong's request. In fact, he told him that the Red Leaf Army is very strong, and you don't have to "worry" about our specific command.
"That's good. After all, it's the Yuqiu Army who has the reputation of 'the strongest red leaf soldier in the world'. How can I not believe it?" Chang Zonggabu Motochin laughed a few times and turned the page just now.
At the same time, he looked at Kira Chisadichi and said, "Please leave the defense of the middle and west roads to us. I will personally take charge of the middle road to resist the main force of Miyoshi's repairs. As for the west road, Miyoshi Mikyu has never been known for being good at fighting, and he has no
The navy is helping us, but supplies are a problem. Second brother, I will give you 3,000 men, and I will leave the west route to you."
"Please be at ease, my lord." Kira heard this and bowed to Chosou Motoki. Even in a private setting, it was obvious that he respected his elder brother.
"In any case, as long as it is delayed until the autumn harvest, the Miyoshi family cannot afford to delay it." Xiang Zong's subordinate Qin Tai did not forget to add, "With the help of His Highness Jibu's businessmen, it is now easier for us in Tosa to buy food.
Too much. If it is consumed in the mountainous area, the first person to have problems with supplies will definitely be the Sanhao family."
"How come the Third Young Master has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige?" Fukudome Kamama heard the words and laughed boldly and said, "This time, the famous His Highness Jibu is here, and our sons in Tosa are all strong soldiers, no matter what
How can it be justified to teach the Sanhao family a lesson?"
