Chapter 813 Kyushu Probe (1)
This time, the strategy of the northeastern Fenghou Kingdom and the southeastern Fengqian Kingdom not only added a lot of territory and population to the Luo family, but also added a lot of minerals to the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet.
Especially in the Fengqianguo region, this region has always been the most important copper mineral in Kyushu region. The Kulai mining industry is relatively developed, especially copper mining and copper smelting technology. It is a famous copper production in Japan. Among them, Fan Zhong is the most famous copper product and is used by many temples in Kyushu and even as far as Kanto.
In Fengqian area, there is a gold mine, three copper mines, especially these copper mines, all from the mineral deposits of the accompanying iron ore. With these deposits, not only will the income of the Luo family increase, but the raw materials of the weapons will also be guaranteed. As the mine pursues Li Hongfei's further exploration, it is estimated that new deposits will be discovered.
In addition to the newly added mineral deposits, important maritime channels such as the Iki Waterway, the Fenghou Waterway and the Guanmen Strait are also completely controlled by the Luo Family, which will bring a lot of commercial and toll income to the Luo Family's internal affairs cabinet. Especially the Guanmen Strait, which almost controls most of the local forces in Japan and the trade channels of Hakata, Iki Island, Tsuma Island and North Korea, and has also affected the smuggling trade channels between some forces and the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. It can be said that as long as these waterways are controlled, it is equivalent to holding the commercial lifeline of certain forces.
Of course, although the total territory income has exceeded 2 million stones and the population has reached 1.25 million, the war continued from the second half of last year to the first half of this year. The Luo family mobilized more than 12,000 regular and more than 15,000 second-line peasant soldiers. During this period, they also had to use food to relieve refugees in the newly occupied areas, causing the Luo family to consume a large amount of reserved grain and materials, and the military situation also suffered nearly 5,000 casualties (most of them were temporary peasant soldiers). .In the next period of time, the Luo family has to hurry up and recuperate. Fortunately, the autumn harvest this year is coming. Although due to the war, there are almost no harvests in the northeastern part of Fenghou Kingdom and the southeastern part of Fengqian Kingdom this year (as long as the Luo family's labor-for-relief relief support is supported). However, since the climate this year is not as abnormal as the previous two years, the harvest in the rest of the areas should be good, so the Luo family's grain reserves will be greatly supplemented.
Good things can be said to be continuous. In August, when Zhengliang was busy with government affairs while paying close attention to the developments of the surrounding countries, envoys from the Kyoto court and the shogunate also came to Qibu City.
The arrival of the envoy is actually a historical necessity, because during the period when Zhengliang was busy with the war, many things did happen across Japan.
In the distant Mua area, the Ida family governed the land collection documents issued by previous dynasties and issued them to the new "Knowledge and Action" and used them to create the "Ida Li Zong Cai underground collection". This means that the Ida family has officially entered the ranks of the Warring States Period's daimyo.
In Shino country, Echigo's Dragon Long Tail Kei Tiger and Kakai's Tiger Takeda Haruno finally met, known in history as the "First Battle of Kawaakashima".
In April of the 22nd year of Astronomy (1553), Takeda Haruno took his younger brother Nobuhima as a general, and led many Shinono nobles who had surrendered Takeda to attack Katsuo Castle like a tide. The "Shinono General" Yoshiki Murakami who could not support it, burned Katsuo Castle. He retreated to Yantian Castle further north of Shinono and continued to resist the Takeda family.
After ten years of war, the former guardian of Ogasawara Isang Party was swept and killed by Takeda Haruno. The rebellious Kita Nobunaga surrendered, leaving only a few such as Murakami Yoshiki, Takari Masara, etc., which were also a scene of being unable to turn things around. The Koshu samurai who were holding the sacred flag lined up indifferently and walked through the former authoritarian forbidden land, and the rivers and valleys of the "Okushino" with many Chinese people. Behind them, countless villages and mountain villages were burning with raging fires, and countless wives and children of the nation cried for the loss of their homes and relatives. Castles were taken over by Haruno's confidant and beloved generals. The land of Shinobunaga will soon become the forbidden land of Takeda's family in the Kyūsaki Pavilion. There is no doubt in the hearts of the world.
It was just at this moment that the dull young daimyo, the roar of the dull young daimyo, broke the full plan of Takeda Haruno. The people of the Beishen, led by Masara Takari, ran to Echigo for help. They all knelt down in the hall of Kasugayama Castle, "Tada Haruno is insatiable and has seized our ancestral property and land. Soon, they will receive all the letters in the hub. Please send troops!"
Naoe Mitsuto, Honjo Mino, Saito Asino and other generals Echigo all turned their eyes to the expressionless Long Tail Keito, waiting for his decision.
"Okay, I will immediately go out to help the village of Yantian Castle defender last week." Longtail Jinghu answered tremblingly as if he had used all his strength. Although he had always practiced meditation and was begging to defeat any enemy with a calm heart, this answer even Longtail Jinghu knew what it meant. The self-reliant Echigo warrior must use his strong Echigo warrior to sway the blood of the Koshu army under Sun Wuzi in the wilderness of Shinno. The duel between the strong and the strong is often protracted and extremely tragic.
The Long Tail Jinghu who is familiar with Chinese classics, and the high disciple of Linji Sect, Harushi Takeda, almost at the same time, thought of the story of Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan (during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yuwen Tai held the power of the Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan held the handle of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the two sides launched many fierce and fierce battles, and they met the opponents and met good talents).
Soon, on April 20, 5,000 soldiers from Echigo rushed into Kita Shinno like a whirlwind. The unstoppable Takeda Army was caught off guard. He never expected that Jinghu's movements were so fast that he got the powerful general of Echigo's new force, Yoshiki Murakami, who was like a tiger, launched a rapid counterattack. The Takeda Army, which blocked Yoshiki Murakami at Hachiman, was defeated and could not be restrained. Yoshiki Murakami took advantage of the situation to regain Katsuo Castle.
Takeda Haruno from the 杨色大家官网 was shocked and angry. The blood of my soldiers who had fought for ten years could not flow in vain. Even if you, Long-tail Jinghu, is Cheng Yaojin, the demon king who came out from halfway, I will use my tiger teeth to break your three axes!
Suwa Fa Shitao put on his armies, raised the "Siru Mantra" flag of the Saint Sun Wuzi, and led tens of Koshu warriors like wolves and tigers. Takeda Haruno once again worked hard to advance northward in the hot July season and rushed towards Katsuo Castle. At this time, Murakami Yoshiki, who could not get timely help, had to give up Katsuo Castle again. However, this time, Haruno obviously wanted to chase the enemy to death and beat the dogs to fall into the water. He attacked Yoshiki's last stronghold Yantian Castle.
In August, Yoshiki Murakami's Yantian Castle fell. He and Suda, Shimazu, Takari and others came directly to Kasugayama Castle, and then asked Jinghu for troops and made a loud promise, "As long as we can regain the ancestral territory, we all like to be the generals of Beixin, are willing to guard the barriers for generations for His Highness Jinghu, and pioneers in front of the horse, and those who deviate from each other will kill each other!"
As a result, on September 1, Nagata Keiko personally led 8,000 troops, led by the Kita Nobuki's new noble family. He rushed into Kita Nobuno again. He did not dare to neglect Takeda Haruno, led his team to defend Yantian Castle and sent general Imoto to support each other in Muroga Castle in the north. In addition, the new Kita Nobuki's new noble family Osuka took his servants to act as cannon fodder in Bushi to resist the impact of the Nagata Army.
The Osuga army who gave charity had no suspense. He was defeated by the long-tailed Keiko. Keiko, who was victorious in the small battle, continued to advance and encountered a team of Takeda Army near Hachimanbara. After several battles, Takeda army was defeated but not in chaos, and alternately covered his army and retreated towards Haruki's Yantian Castle.
"This is the real Kezhou army. It is indeed different from the Beixin Hao clan army that he gave to before. Please pay attention to it." He and the Lord of Bancheng, Shizuo Naoe, carefully suggested to Jinghu.
"Well. Most of this team is light and good at using spears and bows. It is a foot-light team under the Daishin. I heard that it is mostly led by the brave and war-going men of the Takeda family." Jing Hu looked like he was in control. The fact was just as he guessed that the ones fighting against the Nagata Army were "Five Ministers of Jiayang". The foot-light team of the Hayao Tomoto and Oda Tomotomoto were hundreds of people, and the main purpose was to reconnaissance by force.
After returning to Yantian City, the retainers immediately made a comment to Qingxin: "Although the long-tail Jinghu in Yuezhou is young, he is worthy of the courage of thousands of men. Your Highness should be polite. If the food in the other side is exhausted, it will naturally retreat."
"Well, I ordered the defense of each city to be the best. Don't fight rashly." After takingda Haruno's instructions, he held a military fan and closed his eyes and pondered. The king of Jiafei, who had been fighting for many years, was only 32 years old. When he met an opponent with equal strength, he would still be inexplicably excited. The opponent's long-tailed Jinghu was only 23 years old. No, no, the scene of Uedahara and Toshishi Castle appeared again, and our army still couldn't shrink. Look at what the kid from the Hokuriku did?
The next day, the Long Tail Army under Yantian City disappeared like a whirlwind. Jing Hu had no intention of attacking Haruki, but bypassed Yantian City, wandering happily in Shinno Nishino like an unpredictable dragon, and wanted to attack Takeda's various strongholds in Shinno. Over the past few days, Huangto, Qingliu and others fell one after another. The Eight Thousand Joseph Army broke through Machangling and Aoki Ridge, and went deeper, pointing directly to the Shinshi Castle, which guarded the core area of Shinno's central area.
"Our Military Commission was in Yantian City. The guy Jinghu saw that the behind me was empty and was ready to attack Huanglong!" The generals of Takeda couldn't calm down and asked for battle.
Takeda Haruno smiled, "No, Long Tail Jinghu's move is to lure me out of the city to fight him. But when Jinghu disturbs me, I can cut off his retreat."
Late at night, a Takeda elite soldier, led by the general Tada Manrai, captured the Huangdicheng, which was previously successful by Jinghu, and cut off Jinghu's food route and retreat route. Then, Takeda Haruno moved. He led most of the main force and rushed south to target Qingliucheng. As long as he captured this place, the gate of Long Tail Jinghu's return to Echizen will be sealed tightly. The Eight Thousand Yue Army was locked in the horse farm. In the deep canyon of Aoki, he could only eat tree bark and drink cold water.
"We are going back to the army, don't be afraid that the way back will be cut off. We are fighting on the outside, so we will take advantage of the opportunity of Harushi to fight them in a decisive battle!" Jing Hu's army made a 180-degree turn, ready to bite Takeda's main force.
On September 19th, Shinoshii, the two armies who were eager for a battle, finally set off the formation here, and Takeda Haruno and Nagata Keito were able to see the long-rumored good rival.
"So he is like this, he is indeed a good man who can fight me." This is the common voice of the two sides who looked at each other at that time, a tiger in the mountains of Jiafei, and a dragon in the northern land.
Long-tailed Jinghu arranged the children of Echigo into the "fish scale formation" of the offensive formation. This formation is deep and thick. Once the horn sounds, countless warriors can form a coordinated army of infantry and cavalry, line up in many horizontal lines, launching uninterrupted attacks on the enemy until they are defeated and crushed. Jinghu himself, wearing "cowhide black little zao purple power" armor, wearing a gold-plated real wheel pocket, holding a large gun, under the escort of Naoe Shigen and other flag books, was murderous and powerful. A flag beside him wrote a "Dragon" and called the "Runlong Flag" as the assault signal of the entire army; a military flag with "Bi" written on it was written on it, which was the war god Vishamantian, Jinghu thought he was reincarnated. When the Eight Thousand Yue troops saw Jinghu ordering the "Runlong Flag" to hang the "Runlong Flag" and knew that they were about to launch a death assault. They shouted long live the mountains and the sound shook the wilderness.
Takeda Haruno ordered 10,000 Kashu samurai warriors to lightly line up their feet into a long and narrow "Crane Wing Formation" with two wings. He waited for the Jinghu Army to step deep into the formation and attack left and right, and then he accomplished his achievements. Haruno himself sat upright on the stool of the formation, lifted the military fan, and fluttered the banner of Sun Wuzi on his head. The two rows of "Centipedes" who were on standby were all young warriors carefully selected from the children of the retainers. They wore vermilion armor, rode fast horses, and carried "Hundreds of Hundreds of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Thousands of Legs" on their backs.
"Finger" (the monster in Japanese mythology is extremely good at walking) (the small flag carried by Japanese samurai and foot light, with family patterns or words on it, used for identification of enemies and enemies), and only generals gave up their lives to shuttle through the line of fire, conveying commands and intelligence. The Suwa Shrine crowd in the camp beat Suwa drum, and the sound of excitement rushed straight into the sky. The Takeda soldiers were thrust into their hearts, holding the spear and blade tightly, as if they were not chaotic, and were full of fighting for life.
Under the scorching sun in late autumn, the originally unrelated Jiafei and Ekigo's elite soldiers and generals collided violently on the Shinoi Hiranoba like a storm.
