Chapter 1675 Enemy troops doing their own thing(2/2)
"Well done, continue to maintain close investigation, I need more information.
Not only Satomi Yoshihiro of the Southern Line, but also Satake Yoshige of the Northern Line's movements in Furukawa Castle must be investigated as soon as possible, so go ahead."
"Hi!"
Wu Yingcaizang turned around and left without any hesitation.
Yiyin looked at her back and nodded in appreciation. With only seven days, Kirigage Saizou summoned his subordinates and launched an effective intelligence network on Yiyin's front line. He was indeed a capable guy.
As soon as Kirikage Saizou left, someone from Kamao Clan came in with someone, it was Kito Yua, one of the leaders of the Blue Clothes.
Yuya, the ghost head, was so excited when he saw Yoshiyin here that he kowtowed to the ground in greeting.
Yiyin grabbed her and asked with a smile.
"No need to be polite, why are you here?"
Ghost head Yuya bowed solemnly.
"The saint calls us to come and fight for justice, how dare we neglect him?
Several counties in the East Musashi area downstream of the Tone River are mobilizing, and some troops are already stationed in the Takasago Village area and can cross the river to join the battle at any time.
Mikami Hime is coordinating the river crossing affairs with the village leaders, so she asked me to personally lead a few capable subordinates to cross the river first to look for traces of you, the sage.
We are waiting for the enemy to be ready, and now we are just waiting for your order from the saint."
Yoshigami nodded and said hello, took Yua Kito and squatted in front of the map, looked for the location of Takasago Village, and asked.
"How many people have been mobilized in the East Musashi Land? Do you have sufficient food, grass and armaments?"
Kito Yua drew a circle around the Yotsugi Takasago area and said.
"The Grand Council has made a decision, and the United Fronts of all the families have mobilized their full strength to come to the aid. The Kanto Service Office and the Samurai Giri Promotion Association have opened all the warehouses along the way to provide unlimited military supplies to the rebels.
Simu Village has become our logistics depot, and a large amount of supplies are being continuously transported and assembled.
The land of Higashi Musashi has abundant manpower and numerous villages. The combined efforts of several counties have already mobilized nearly 10,000 people, and within ten days at the latest, another 5,000 people can be mobilized.
In addition, Kanayama Castle Yura, Ashikaga Castle Nagao, and Ninja Castle Narita in the middle reaches are also mobilizing, and the local samurai family headed by the Yura family is said to have 5,000 troops on the road."
Yiyin pointed at the map and thought, then nodded.
"good very good!
Let the rebels gathered in Takasago Village move north, find a ferry to cross the river, and assemble as close to Sagamidai as possible, and stay away from Nagasaku in the south. Nagasaku is too close to Kokufudai, and it is easy to arouse the enemy.
I will immediately send someone to contact the Gaocheng family garrison in Xiaojincheng and ask them to let go of the border guard. I will personally lead the troops south to rescue the trapped national capital Taicheng and rescue their family governor and head family.
Let the rebels from all walks of life in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River cross the river in a low-key manner at Edogawadai, Kogane Castle, and Sagamidai. Try not to alert the enemy troops in the Kokufudai area and move closer to me.
What about Edo Castle? Do you know the situation there?"
Across the river from Taicheng, the national capital, is the Edo Territory. The lord of Edo City, Ota Yasushi, was just slaughtered by the Hojo clan. Yoshigan is worried that the people there are confused and will be exploited by the enemy.
Ghost Head Yuya said.
"When Higashi Musashi was mobilizing, Lord Daidoji Morimasa of Kagotsu Castle had already led some of the Kagotsu Castle defenders, went south along the Arakawa River, and entered Edo Castle.
But we have no direct contact with Edo Castle, so we don’t know what the Hojo family is doing now.”
Yiyin nodded, feeling relieved.
The Hojo Ujimasa Kitakami Echigo Imperial Palace quarreled with Uesugi Kenshin and others at the Grand Council, but the accumulation of four generations of the Hojo family was not in vain, and they reacted really quickly to unexpected situations.
Daidaiji Morimasa is a fourth-generation veteran of the Hojo family. She also served as a non-permanent member of the Standing Council. She has served as the Dai of Kawagoe Castle for a long time and is responsible for guarding this important town in the core of the Musashi Kingdom.
When the Boso Peninsula changed, Daidaiji Morimasa took the initiative to fill the loophole in Edo Castle. At least Yoshihiro Satomi's troops could be blocked on the west bank of the Edogawa River, preventing the chaos from spreading to Musashi territory.
Yiyin made a few gestures on the map, his confidence greatly increased.
It seems that he is still very popular. Seeing that he was in danger, the women in the Guandong Waiting Office were so frightened that they quickly mobilized and no longer dared to make any nonsense.
The grassroots samurai families in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River were able to mobilize within five days without any supervision, and to mobilize more than 10,000 troops within ten days. This was indeed their best effort.
However, the opponents of the Oriental Army, Satake Yoshige and Satomi Yoshihiro, as the generals of the northern and southern fronts, went their own way and did not cooperate at all.
Yoshihiro is now very confident that he will lead the temporarily assembled rebel forces to quickly defeat Yoshihiro Satomi, who is also a ragtag group of people, under the castle gate of the national capital, and give Yoshishige Satake a big surprise.
