Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 155 Three Rivers Surprise Attack ([-]) Songban Military Discussion

Putting aside these distant issues, even if the Xiu family wants to ask for Ju Ji, according to the grade of Princess Ji of the Warring States Period, it will have to wait until 1588 or 1589. This is still a very distant thing, the most important thing for the Xiu family at present , is to get rid of Tokugawa Ieyasu first.

As Xiujia thought too much, he didn't go to sleep until the middle of the night. The next day, he was extremely tired. He got up from the couch near noon. The following troops catch up with the ones that have already set off.

Xiujia deliberately slowed down on the road, and quietly consulted Oka Lisheng about changing the main room.

"Misaku Mamoru, I have something I want to ask. I really don't understand some rules."

"Your Highness, it's okay to say, as long as I know, I will know everything."

"I met a friend under my father's account. When he was young, he made a marriage contract with the daughter of a landlord's family. Now he is the famous owner of Wanshi. For the development of the family, he wants to make the main wife Is it feasible to change the marriage contract to a concubine?"

Xiujia quietly stated his problem to Okali Sheng, and he was surprised after listening, "Which friend of Your Highness? Now there are only a handful of daimyos under the account of Yuchai's family. To do such a disgraceful thing?"

"Your Highness should cut off his righteousness with his robes early. This kind of indifferent person only knows how to climb dragons and phoenixes, and has no martial arts awareness. Today he may be sentenced to his former father-in-law, and he may be sentenced to His Highness in the future."

Xiujia looked at Okali Katsuki getting more and more angry as he spoke, and couldn't help but blushed, as if the person Okali Katsuki was evaluating at this moment was himself.

But Xiujia also understands the attitude of contemporary samurai represented by Oka Toshikatsu. If Xiujia really changes the marriage contract openly, then Xiujia will be the "cool person" in daimyo's eyes.

"I've said so much, but His Highness hasn't told me which daimyo is so dirty, and I will definitely expose his hypocrisy in front of Quan Da Nayan." Gang Lisheng's question brought Xiujia back to reality.

The Xiu family coughed twice, and said to him, "Don't worry about who, if this marriage contract is not his original intention, and a retainer proposes on his behalf, and there is no publicity about whether it is the main room or the side room, there is room for manipulation? "

"I've said so much, why doesn't Your Highness understand, no matter whether this marriage contract is made public or there are loopholes in it, this person is not someone worthy of close friendship, why is Your Highness still looking for the root cause of this bitch, isn't it? "

"Isn't it right? Friends are friends if you say so. If you don't want to say it, I'll just ask Erin Gongliang after I go back. Anyway, he knows all about diplomacy best." Xiujia interrupted Gang Lisheng's questioning rudely. , with his legs clamped in the belly of the horse, he led the attendants to speed up.

Looking at the gone figure of the Xiu family, Gang Lisheng murmured in a low voice, "It seems that there is no mistake in guessing, it must be a young man from Yuchai's family who had such thoughts. From being a farmer to becoming a daimyo, all the filth in my heart has surfaced. No, I have to look at the lord, the lord is still young, so I can't let those mud-legged people spoil it."

Of course, the Xiu family didn't know that the three good brothers were blamed for their questioning just now.

Since the idea of ​​changing Qing Ji into a side room is not feasible, the Xiu family can only temporarily suppress this idea and concentrate on preparing for the strategy against Sanhe in the future.

It was already June 6th when Hideo arrived in Matsuna, and Akashi Keichi had already led the fleet to wait for Hideo here, and together with him was Yoshitaka Kumano of the Kumano Navy.

Kuki Yoshitaka himself was only born in a small wealthy family in Shima Kingdom, and he was one of the subordinates of the Hachiman Navy, but he took advantage of the situation and hooked up with Oda Nobunaga to make up for the shortcomings of Oda Nobunaga who lacked a navy in the early days.

In the end, with the support of Nobunaga, Xia Keshang defeated the Yawata Navy, making the reputation of his Kumano Navy forever in history. Since then, the world only knows the Kumano Navy of the Shima Kingdom, and never knew its former suzerain Hachiman Water What is the name of the army?
After receiving the help of Nobunaga, the Kumano navy quickly expanded, and finally won the 3 koku security of the Shima Kingdom by virtue of defeating the Murakami navy, becoming the No. 5000 pirate change name.

At this moment, the Kumano Navy has 8 ironclad ships, 7 Ataka ships, 65 Seki ships, 30 Sengoku ships, and a huge fleet of more than [-] Kozawa ships. It is well-deserved Japan's first fleet.

In addition, he temporarily acts as the leader of the Hashiba Navy. As the Hashiba Navy inherited from the Oda family, he owns 5 Antaka ships, 45 Seki ships, 20 Sengoku ships, and more than [-] Kozaya ships.

Just a few months ago, the fleet commanded by Kuki Yoshitaka defeated the fleet of the Tokugawa family and the Suruga navy in Ise Bay, captured dozens of ships, and successfully suppressed its sea power. The Tokugawa navy retreated to Mikawa, Suruga The river water army retreated to Suruga, this is also the courage of the Xiu family to dare to cross the sea to fight.

Therefore, in the first military service after arriving in Songban, Kuki Yoshitaka also attended as a foreign sample.

First of all, Xiujia asked Jialong Kuki about the fleet situation in the port, "Nagamonshou, are the ships assembled in place at present? How much capacity can it have?"

Jiugui Jialong heard that he was named, and reported to Xiujiahui from his position, "The current situation in Songban Port, the East and West Navy has a total of 8 ironclad ships, 12 Anzhai ships, 142 closed ships, and 334 Xiaozao ships. "

"The iron-clad ship and the Anzhai ship can transport a hundred soldiers at a time, 50 soldiers on the closed ship, and 20-30 soldiers in Xiaozao. When we are transporting a sneak attack, I think we need to set aside the necessary guard ships."

"My plan is this. The ironclad ships and the Ataka ships are the main ships to deal with the enemy, and do not participate in the transportation. I have 40 Guan Ships and 80 Kohayas as transportation guards. All these ships are in charge of the Kumano Navy. "

"Since entering Sanhe Bay, the guarded ironclad ships, Anzhai ships, and Guan ships have formed two long snake formations to guard the periphery of the transport fleet, and the 80 Xiaozao ships have been sent out to guard to ensure the smooth landing of our family in Sanhe."

"Only in this way, the maximum transport capacity of the transport fleet is only about 7500 people. It is also necessary to ensure the transportation of equipment, horses, and iron cannons. The most suitable transportation should be around [-] people."

"Okay, I'm not good at water warfare. I'll leave it to you. I'm very relieved." The Xiu family really knows little about water warfare. Now that there is such a master of water warfare here to make military strategic arrangements, there is no need for the Xiu family There's an ax to the door.

So Xiujia asked him again, "How long will it take to transport the pine boards to Sanhe, including loading and unloading?"

"If there is a port, it will take half a day. If there is no port, it will take one day to go back and forth." Jiugui Jialong replied without saying a word.

It's just that this answer didn't satisfy Xiujia. Xiujia asked him again, "That is to say, after logging in on the first day, the 7500 pioneers will be alone, and they will have to wait until the next day for support, right?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Wow..." Jiugui Jialong's words surprised the warriors of Yuxi who were the main attackers present. Although they were warriors, they had long ignored life and death, but at this moment they were clearly told that they would have no reinforcements for a day. They are surprised.

"My lord, this plan will not work at all. No matter where the family logs in in Sanhe, the long unloading process is enough to expose the intention of the family. The 7500 people who are the vanguard are likely to be blocked by the Tokugawa family on the coastline and kill them all." , My lord, please think carefully before giving the order."

It was Togawa Tatsuya who spoke, as the commander-in-chief of the Nishi Sanuki Congregation, and also the son of Ukido's old Togawa Hidean, he had the right to question the arrangement of the Hideka in the military council.

In fact, the user Chuan Da'an reminded that Xiujia also knew that this method was difficult to realize. It wasn't that Xiujia couldn't trust his troops, it was because this plan was too risky.

Xiujia was originally a risk avoider. He would not joke about the lives of soldiers. He had no choice but to postpone the date of boarding the ship so that Xiujia could think of a new way. The first military conference in Songban , just like that, ended in failure.

After the generals had retreated, Hideka climbed on the turret platform of Matsuba Castle, facing Ise Bay, feeling remorse for his arrogance before, if Hideka could see the other side.

At this moment, I am like Zhao Kuo who is talking about war on paper. I have not been to the scene to see the real situation. I just rely on the war game deduction on the map to bet on Sanuki with Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Now that I am riding a tiger, this may be the reason why when I proposed crossing the sea to attack Sanhe, the generals in the camp saw him as a fairy tale, and they didn't believe it.

The Xiu family really underestimated the ancients. It's not that the ancients lacked vision and did not carry out the login operation, but that it was difficult to keep this plan secret in ancient times.

The Xiu family just sat on the turret, staring at the seaside, he was really unwilling to accept the end of failure before he acted.

At this moment, the Xiu family only wanted to be alone, even if Zhuang Qing came forward to call, the Xiu family scolded her.

As it was getting dark, Xiujia leaned on the pillars of the turret and fell asleep. Zhuang Qingzhi wanted to come and put on a coat for Xiujia, but accidentally woke Xiujia up. "Huh? What's going on, Jibingwei."

"Your Highness, it's already getting late. Let's go back and rest. We will call the generals tomorrow for a discussion. There is always a way to break the situation."

Although the Xiu family was very unwilling, but he was helpless at the moment, and it was not an option to be in a daze here, so he could only agree, got up and prepared to go down to rest.

Suddenly, Xiujia noticed a huge rock and a rocky beach by the coast. Xiujia remembered that at sunset, there was still sea water there, but now the sea water receded, leaving behind a coast full of rocks.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Xiujia's mind, this is the principle of tides.

Xiujia was as happy as if he had suddenly discovered the trick, he knew how to solve the problem of login failure.

"Kakashi, see Tsusue Sannojo calling." Hideka said to the ninja under the oar tower, he agreed, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, while Hideka came down from the oar dais.

"Your Highness, what do you want from me?" When Xiu's family came down, Zhezhi Sanzhicheng was already waiting below.

The Xiu family brought them into the house, spread out the map, pointed to Kamigono City in Treasure County, and said, "I have a task for you, you immediately go and gather the nearby ninja soldiers, take all you can take away, and sneak into the city." Go to Sanhe Baofan County, your ultimate goal is to control Shangzhixiangcheng and cover the landing of the main force of your family."

"I will give you enough time to prepare. Once you are ready, send someone to contact me. I will give you a specific time to attack. Remember not to let any news leak out, understand?"

Shangzhixiangcheng is the city that the Hide family rented verbally from Tsutsui Shunqing before. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on the south. Before the development of later generations, only the three canyons in the northwest were connected to the hinterland of Sanhe.

Since Hideka's previous plan to seize the port of Binan Town and transport troops to Mikawa to cut off Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat could not be implemented, quickly and covertly seizing Kami no Kojo was one of his few choices.

It is precisely because of the unique occlusion of this place, if the Xiu family can land smoothly, build a beachhead fortress, and block the news at the same time to wait for follow-up reinforcements to gather troops. After the army is strong, it is a good choice to go straight to Okazaki through Sangen Mountain.

Of course, the premise of doing this is to ensure the blockade of the news. If the news is leaked, the Three Roots Canyon will also become the death of the Xiu family.

Xiujia's plan is very simple. The ninja army first controls the empty Shangxiang City and Sangen Canyon to prevent news from leaking.

And he used the principle of long and low tides. The first wave of ships took advantage of the darkness to land on the beach in the middle of the night. The crew quickly disembarked and occupied the upper town. When the tide rose again at dawn, they would wash up on the beach. His boat was pushed into the water to transport the second batch of troops.

But there is also a problem with this plan. Even if he can guarantee the concealment that night, the fleet that turns back the next day may also be discovered by the Tokugawa army on the Chita Peninsula and the Atsumi Peninsula.

From when they discovered the movement to when they sent people to investigate, it was estimated that there would be a delay of one more day. The Xiu family had to use this daytime to transport the second batch of troops to Xiangxiang, and the news would inevitably be leaked.

It will take a day for Tokugawa Ieyasu to come back when they notify Tokugawa Ieyasu on the Owari front.

In other words, even with all the preparatory work done, Hideka only won a day or two for the first troops to land on the beach, and the main force of the Tokugawa army may return to help.

What Hideka has to do is to make good use of these 2 days and 2 nights to gather as many troops as possible, and seize the important fortress of Mikawa to contain Tokugawa Ieyasu's return to aid.

"Ha Yi, I'll do it now."

Having received the order, Tsusue Sannojo retreated, and Hideka looked at Ise Bay again, as if he wanted to look to the other side of the sea through the darkness, but this time his eyes were full of determination.

He decided to take a big bet, and the outcome depends on this plan.
