Chapter 633 Rumors
Chapter 633 Rumor
With the help of the navy, the 100,000 troops of the Komu Army were directly transferred to Kobe. This is also a very important port. It is now under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Under the escort of the navy, the Ming army, supply, etc. can directly arrive here, which greatly simplifies the supply procedures and saves time. You must know that with the intensification of the war, ammunition, food, etc. are consumed very much. Although the first batch of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty have arrived at Kyushu Island, it will take a long time to ensure that the food they produce is used by hundreds of thousands of people.
The army was promoted in all aspects, originally divided into two routes, each with more than 100,000 troops. Now that the 100,000 troops arrived, the troops were divided into three routes, directed to Kyoto and Osaka.
Yamana Kitoyoshi basically has no force to resist. Throughout the journey, even the new recruits have almost been killed or injured. Now they can only resist with the help of the walls of Osaka and Kobe. However, facing the Ming army that was already at the city gate, they were really not sure that they could resist the Ming attack.
Hesitating about Yama Nakakito's insistence, Hosokawa Katsumoto's troops have not come yet, and are just protecting Ashikaga Yoshimasa.
Of course, his navy did not dare to enter this sea area rashly. Even though the development of the two years has made him progress a lot, to put it bluntly, he is just a famous name at best, and there is not much money to invest in the army. The Ming navy's advancement in the past two years was very great under the persistence of Jiang Lang. The gap between the navy of the two armies does not belong to the same era at all.
Any so-called allies are temporary and can be used. Just like playing games, when all the common enemies are eliminated, the covenant can be terminated between the allies, so that the original allies can become enemies.
As for Katsumoto Hosokawa, of course, it is not a very strong ally. After all, Katsumoto Hosokawa is actually just a use of the Ming Dynasty, although in a certain aspect, he acted as a traitor.
Elang never thought that Hosokawa Katsumoto was honest, so he also had some help with Hosokawa Katsumoto. Especially now, Yama Nakaki Tsubasa has been forced into a dead end. So under Elang's arrangement, a group of people quietly sneaked into Kyoto and Osaka.
Spy war is the most common way of war in society. Through spies, we can not only understand the enemy's troops deployment, military movements, etc., but also differentiate the enemy and disintegrate the enemy from the inside.
Therefore, Jiang Lang knew very well what he should do when he sent people.
A few days later, some rumors suddenly appeared in the cities that Yama Nakaki Tsubaki still controlled, that is, Yama Nakaki Tsubaki failed and the Ming Dynasty's rapid advance were largely because Hosokawa Katsumoto colluded with the Ming soldiers, betrayed Yama Nakaki Tsubaki and revealed his troops to the Ming army. When the last time he escorted more than 100,000 soldiers to land on Kyushu Island, they revealed their combat plans and brought the entire fleet into the ambush circle of the Ming fleet. After the Ming soldiers arrived, their fleet suddenly fled, exposing the transport ship without any resistance to the Ming fleet, and thus suffered a devastating blow.
For Yama Nakaki Shimoto, who had been forced on the brink of despair by the Ming army, and for those soldiers and the people, the message spread rapidly like a plague. Especially for those who lost their relatives in the war, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the lost relatives and who were originally sad. Originally, they only thought that the Ming invasion caused their relatives to die, but now, it became because of Hosokawa Katsumoto's failure.
In a place where war-torn people who have suffered from losing their loved ones, the effect of such a message can be imagined.
The original sorrow was replaced by anger, and it suddenly became a mess everywhere, and the angry people began to organize.
This message soon reached Yamana Shinto's ears. He had always been suspicious of Hosokawa Katsumoto. Of course, the first suspicion was the war between Daming and him two years ago, which was somewhat unknown and then in the end. Two years later, the Ming Dynasty chose to take the lead in attacking his confidant. At the same time, along the way, the Ming army suffered abnormal losses in the offensive losses, and he knew every force he deployed. At the same time, the most important point was that the last battleship escaped directly led to the death of his own 100,000 soldiers. All of this was because of the origin of this war, which was because of the collusion between Hosokawa Katsumoto and the Ming Dynasty.
Yama Natsuki, who has been forced to a desperate situation by the Ming Dynasty army, faced with these overwhelming messages, how could Yama Natsuki still calm down? He came to Ashikaga Yoshima's mansion in a fierce manner.
Now these messages have also reached Hosokawa Katsumoto's ears. He suddenly felt a little panicked about the sudden appearance of the message. Now the plan is officially critical, if this matter is exposed, it will definitely not be of any benefit to him.
Thinking of this, he was somewhat anxious and immediately summoned Sanquan and Kuyoko Matsushita. After all, they were mainly responsible for the contact with the Ming Dynasty. Since there was something wrong with this, they were the first people to be questioned.
Of course, this message also reached the ears of the two of them. They understood the urgent call of Hosokawa Katsumoto, so they immediately rushed to the secret room, Hosokawa Katsumoto was waiting for them here.
"See lord!"
The two knelt on the ground and said in unison.
Hosokawa Katsumoto waved his hand, without saying much nonsense, went straight to the point, and said, "I think you have heard the comments outside, so what do you think about this matter?"
Look at me, look at you, and now they are thinking about this question, and they are somewhat panicked about this sudden message. Now the Hosokawa Katsumoto question, after the two looked at each other, Mizuno said: "Report to lord, we have heard of it too!"
"What should you think about this matter?"
Hosokawa Katsumoto asked.
After Sanquan was silent for a moment, he said: "Every time we go, we are very careful. No one should know our whereabouts, and not many people know about this. So I wonder if someone is deliberately spreading this message?"
"Doessively spread?"
Hosokawa Katsumoto muttered slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Do you think this is a method used by the Ming Dynasty?"
After all, he is not a fool, so of course he understands that there is a possibility.
"Very likely!"
Sanquan immediately said, "The General Wang of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a simple person, so you can't underestimate him. Moreover, the message came so quickly that we were somewhat off guard. Now it has basically spread, and the people are very touched by this. There have been chaos in many places, and for a big reason, even if the people who fled!"
Hosokawa Katsumoto nodded slightly. This was definitely a big problem. Of course he understood, but the message came too quickly, so fast that it was a bit hard to guard against. The most important point is that no matter whether these messages are true or not, for those people who fled in Yama Nakaki-Feng territory, these messages are easily believed by them. Once they believe it, there will be chaos in the country, so-called internal and external troubles.
Taking a deep breath, Yamashiki Chifeng said: "No matter whether this was deliberately leaked by the Ming Dynasty people, one thing is certain that for us, this is very unfavorable news, and now the news has reached the general! So, this is quite difficult!"
Speaking of this, Hosokawa Katsumoto sighed again, his mind was a little confused.
The Sanquan and Matsushita Kuyoko look at me, then, then, Sanquan then suggested: "Master, I want to...!"
"What?"
Hosokawa Katsumoto looked over and asked.
Sanquan hesitated for a moment, then his face darkened and said, "I think we should send troops immediately and the lord completely replace the general..."
"You want me to seize the position of general now?"
Hosokawa Katsumoto asked.
Sanquan nodded and said, "Yes, this message is out. Now the world is in panic, and the general must be concerned. At the same time, another point, Yamashiki Chifeng also doubts that all this is very unfavorable to the lord. In this way, the lord might as well launch a coup immediately and then negotiate with the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hosokawa Katsumoto did not agree immediately, and was slightly silent before saying, "Let me think about it carefully!"
‘Lord, can’t think about it anymore!”
Sanquan immediately said, "Once the General is suspicious, we will suffer this catastrophe!"
