Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 605 Deployment of Invading Troops

During the warring states daimyo military conference, the most important thing was the order in which each reserve team came out, because many daimyo's internal political forces were not balanced, and behind every deployment was a political compromise.

Fortunately, there is no such problem with the Xiu family. The Xiu family has absolute authority in the territory. The Kansai samurai are used to obeying the arrangement of the Xiu family. The Kanto samurai have just been slapped by Hideyoshi. Xiujia engages in confrontation.

The only problem with the Hide family is that many samurai families have names and surnames, whether it is the genealogy of the Yuki family or a famous family in Kanto, or the new senators that the Xiu family deliberately promoted to oppose the genealogy.

这就导致秀家明明才13000人的军势居然分出了9个阵出来，一般1w~1w5左右的军势能分成6个阵已经很多了。

The reason why the Hide family is divided into 9 formations is entirely for the political balance within the family. Otherwise, if you let Okaya Toshi and Togawa Tatsuya merge into one formation, who do you think this formation should listen to?Will the other listen again?

Even if Hitachi merged himself in the formation, with Togawa Tatsuya's temper, he would definitely not want to hear Suga Masatoshi's command, but does Togawa Tatsuya have the ability to appease Suga Masatoshi and make him obedient?What is the level gap between the two.

That is to say, most of the people placed here by the lower general are the Kanto nobles, who have no right to speak in the Xiu family, and Kajihara Masaki is led by the old Ota family's army, but after all, he is just an unfavored Ota Suzumasa. Son, will be forced to accept Togawa Tatsuyasu's dispatch.

Among other things, the Xiu family arranged for this time to go to North Korea, but it made the Xiu family bald a lot. (It seems that Xiujia shaved Yuedai's head on top of his head, and he has no hair.)
After the allocation of the troops for the battle was completed, Xiujia asked the horse farm manager to spread out a huge map of North Korea drawn by Xiujia, and began to lay out the route of the army to everyone.

Although there are still more than 1592 months before Hideyoshi's scheduled time to cross the sea to Korea after the spring of 4, it is good that Hideyoshi has completed the deployment of the major names who will go to Korea at this moment.

First of all, the Nagoya, led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Kekatsu, Date Masamune, Satake Yoshinobu, Hashiba Hidekatsu and other daimyos, was in the contingent (the troops staying in Nagoya on standby). There are 73370 troops.

However, judging from historical results, in addition to more than 3 people composed of small and medium-sized daimyos such as Hashiba Hidekatsu, Masuda Nagamori, and Ishida Mitsunari, who arrived in North Korea as support, Nagoya was led by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the formation. The daimyo never went to North Korea.

The troops of these people will not be sent to North Korea from the very beginning. They are the general reserve force for fighting against North Korea. Once the situation on the front line changes, for example, if the progress is too smooth and they have invaded the territory of Ming Dynasty, or North Korea's national strength is beyond ordinary, they will Crossed the sea as a second wave of support troops.

Followed by Kanamori Nagachi, Hachiya Kensui, Koide Yoshimasa and other small daimyos below 5 shi, the Gozenbeizhong (Keeper Vanguard Force) has a total of 5940 people.

Oshima Yunpachi, Kinoshita Nobushige, Ito Nagahiro and other Hideyoshi Banners formed the Royal Archers (Guard Archers, Guard Iron Cannon Troops) with 1755 people.

These people are themselves members of Hideyoshi's Banner Samurai, and Kinoshita Nobuju has always served as the top position of Hideyoshi's iron artillery team in the past.

Regardless of the fact that the troops they lead range from 100 to 200 people, in fact they don't have much knowledge and practice, and many of them are only in their early years.The troops they lead are all members of the Toyotomi Banner Congregation just like them.

Afterwards, there were 500 people led by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, 1500 people led by Kinoshita Kichitaka, 6 people from 4300 groups of the royal side, 6 people from the 3500th group of the royal family, 800 people from the royal family, 750 people from the imperial envoys, and 1200 people from the imperial court. There are 850 people in the crowd, 1500 in the falconers, and 14900 people in the middle, and a total of [-] people in the Royal Horse Hui (Guardian Samurai Troop)
After that, there are 5300 imperial guards (guard guards) composed of troops led by small daimyos such as Oda Nobuhide, Takenaka Shigeto, and Kawajiri Hidecho.

The total of 4 people from the above 28 troops constitutes Hideyoshi's main formation. These 145W people are the last cards in Hideyoshi's hands. According to his plan, he will lead the main formation across the sea after the first wave of sea-crossing troops invades Daming. North Korea sits in town.

The above-mentioned troops total more than 10 people, all of which will be Hideyoshi's trump card.

Afterwards, Hideyoshi listed Chosun-sankaku-goseicho (the advance troops dispatched to Korea) composed of Kyushu and Shikoku daimyos such as Konishi Yukaka, Soyoshi Tomo, Matsuura Shinnobu, Kato Kiyomasa, Nabeshima Naomo, Kuroda Nagamasa, etc. 44000 people.

There are 60220 members of the Chosun State Delegate (the army that conquered the capital of Joseon) composed of Hachisuka Isei, Tachibana Muneshige, Kobayakawa Takakage, Nagamunebu Shinkin and other daimyos from the four kingdoms of Kyushu.

In addition, there are other domains of the Korean state composed of Toyotomi Hideka, Toyotomi Hideji Daimyo, and Kinki, Shinano, and Kanto Daimyo (support troops to conquer other parts of North Korea)

This part of the daimyo will be divided into 6 legions, they are 3000 people led by Konishi Yukyo, 5000 people of Muneyoshi Tomo, 3000 people of Matsuura Zhenxin, 1000 people of Omura Kimae, 700 people of Goto Jungen, and 2000 people of Arima Harunobu. 16200 formed the First Corps [-].

In history, Chief Konishi led 24 troops with 7000 shi. In this life, he only had a total of 10.2 shi from Higo Nanbu Uto, Amakusa, Lubei, and Yatsushiro. According to the actual military service account, he only needed to bring out 3060 people (ten thousand Stone 600 people, bring out half).

But later Xiujia learned that in order to obtain greater military exploits in North Korea, he actually organized an army of 4500 people, which was regarded as an over mobilization.

The Second Army consists of 4500 people from Kato Kiyomasa, 12000 people from Nabeshima Naomi, and 800 people from Sagara Yoifa, with 17300 people.

In history, Kato Kiyomasa received 19 koku from Higo Kumamoto, but in this life he only received 5 koku from Hinata Miyazaki, but after the Battle of Odawara, after Ikeda Hengxing transferred from Osumi to Shinano He also sealed 000 shi in the northern part of Dasumi, and finally Zhixing 10.5 shi.

In history, he brought out 19.5 people with an excess mobilization of 1 stones (almost 1 stones actually brought out 513 people), and almost hollowed out the entire body.

In this life, judging from the rewards Hideyoshi promised him from 20 countries, he may also try his best to mobilize, and the actual number of troops he brought out may reach 7500 in the end.

The Third Corps is composed of 5000 Kuroda Nagamasa and 6000 Otomo Yoshinori, with a total strength of 11.

It can be seen from Kuroda Nagamasa and Otomo Yoshitomo's strength of 5 to 6000 people each that this unit mainly exists as support for the first two soldiers, similar to the Suga Masatoshi Second Formation that Hideka just compiled, and it can be used when necessary. One split and two support each other Konishi Yukio and Kato Kiyomasa.

Historically, the Fourth Army was led by Shimadzu Yoshihiro and Mori Yoshinari. It was the Fourth Army that swept the 2000 Korean defenders in Gangwon Province with 2 people as mentioned earlier.

But in this life, due to the intervention of the Xiu family, the Fourth Army was replaced by the Kwantung Army and the Northeast Army.

They are led by 13000 people from Toyotomi Hideka (Hanabo Masayuki), 2000 people from Ogasawara Hidetada (ensu to reduce mobilization), plus 500 people from Yuki Haruto, 300 people from Tagaya Shigetsu, and 120 people from Oda Ujiji , Sanada Nobuyuki 1000 people, Utsunomiya Kunizun 500 people, Nasu Sukiharu 50 people, Akita Miki (renamed not long ago) 250 people, Qingjin Nobuyuki (renamed not long ago) 150 people, Iwaki Ritaka 600 people, Soma Yoshinori 350 people, with a total force of 18820.

It can be seen from this troop that, except for Xiujia's 1.3, I think that everyone else is there to fight for soy sauce. Many small daimyos send troops with only a hundred or so troops, completely submerged in the vast ocean of North Korean militias, and they are insignificant at all.

Moreover, Hideyoshi had already told the Hideo family before that the 13000 people in the Hideo family were led by Hanabou Masako to attack Gangwon-do and Hamgyong-do, while the remaining small daimyos were actually handed over to Hideyoshi Ogasawara. He brushes up his experience.

So this third army should look like this: 13000-member Toyotomi Hideya (Hanabo Masayuki Jindai) became an independent army, and Ogasawara Hidetada led a 5820-person team composed of many Kanto and Ou daimyos as the third army's support .

After the Battle of Kyushu in this life, the composition of Kyushu daimyos changed significantly, so there were some changes in the Fifth Corps in this life.

The new Fifth Corps is mainly composed of 7200 Hachisuka Kesei, 7800 Shimadzu Yoshihiro, 1800 Mori Yoshinari, and 1500 Shimadzu Toyohisa and Ito Yubing, with a total strength of 16500.

The Sixth Corps consisted of 4200 people from Masamori Fukushima, 3000 members of Nagamune’s family, 5100 members of Ukita’s family, 2400 people from Ikoma Shinsho, and 1500 people from Kato Koyasu, with a total strength of 16200.

The Seventh Corps was led by Takakage Kobayakawa with 10800 people, with Yoshikawa Motocho 3200, Tachibana Muneshige 3380, and Harada Tomasu (Tachibana Soshige's younger brother Takahashi Tozo) 2010, with a total strength of 19390.

The Eighth Corps is Mori Terumoto with 23000 people.

The Ninth Corps consisted of 12000 Toyotomi Hideji and 3500 Hosokawa Tadakashi. (Chief General, on standby Tsushima Island)
The Tenth Corps has 4500 Toyotomi Hidekatsu, 2000 Ishida Mitsunari, 1000 Masuda Nagamori, 1200 Otani Kichitsu, 3000 Asano Nagamasa (Asano Yukinaga), and a total force of 11700. (Standby Iki Island)
In addition to these land troops, there are also 9450 Korean ship gestures (navy troops sent to North Korea) composed of Kuki Yoshitaka, Wakisaka Yasuji, Kato Yoshiaki, Kurishima Michizou and others.

(The picture is too big to post on the book circle)]

The above are the deployment details that Hideyoshi had already negotiated with Kuroda Rusui half a year before he entered Korea. Ou Yu Daimyo was listed as the third army, and the original third, fourth, and fifth armies were in the back row.

In addition, this is only Hideyoshi's planned deployment. Historically, due to typhoons, the sea transportation of troops has been disrupted. Hideyoshi had to write letters to the legions already on the front line, and reorganized into 9 new legions to conquer North Korea. (See group pictures for detailed differences)

It was Hideka's strong request to place his army in the third army, and Kuroda Rushui originally only planned to put himself in the last place.

However, the Hide family had a mission to go to North Korea. They wanted to go to North Korea to burn, rob, and kidnap everyone. Kato Kiyomasa and the others killed all the people who went there late. How could there be any population to develop Vladivostok and Ezo?
As for how the Xiu family's Third Corps will go next, do you still need to ask?Naturally, where is North Korea's wealth and prosperity?

Although the task Hideyoshi assigned to Hideo was to conquer Gangwon-do and Hamgyong-do, it is not a good idea to go directly north from Gyeongsang-do to Gangwon-do.

The map of North Korea has plains in the west and mountains in the east. The junction of Gangwon-do and Gyeongsang-do is blocked by the Sobaek Mountains. The road from Gyeongsang-do to Gangwon is not suitable for large army operations.

Historically, during the Japanese occupation period, North Korea’s Eight Provinces can levy military rations. Gyeongsang-do 2 kuk ranked first, Jeolla-do 887 kok ranked second, followed by Hamgyong-do 790, 2 stones, 269 stones in Pyongan-do, 379 stones in Chungcheong-do, 2 stones in Gyeonggi-do, 071 stones in Hwanghae-do, and 028 stones in Gangwon-do.

This is the statistics of grain requisition in the eight provinces of North Korea. Since Hamgyong Province was more docile to the Japanese army, Kato Kiyozawa collected grain according to the ratio of 4 people and 6 people.

The Japanese army of the other seven countries basically collected food from the people in a looting manner of 7 people and 3 people, and at that time Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province suffered the heaviest killings, which may have affected their final food collection data.

In general, the height of the 8 stones in North Korea is about 1850 million stones. (see group for detailed information)

From the data of this grain requisition, it can be seen that Gangwon-do occupies such a large area, and the actual output is only so small. It is actually a poor land.

Even if the Xiu family occupies the entire Gangwon Province, the supplies and population that can be robbed are only a little.

And the essence of North Korea is all in the southeast!

According to Hideyoshi's plan, all the first three legions should be transported to North Korea within 10 days, that is, the interval between Hideyoshi and the original First Chief Konishi was about 10 to 15 days.

According to the plan, Governor Konishi and Kiyoshi Kato did not stop after taking the southern part of Gyeongsang-do, and directly inserted diagonally into Chungcheong-do, threatening Joseon Wangjing as quickly as possible.

Behind them was the fertile Jeolla Province, and no one could handle it. It was not until Kobayakawa Takakage's Sixth Army Corps logged in that they mopped up the Jeolla Province that had become the rear.

The best benefit for Xiujia is to take this opportunity to attack Jeolla Province, plunder and traffic people to Ezo.

But before Gangwon-do was captured, the Xiu family didn't have a stable port to transport people out. Even if people were caught in Jeolla-do, it would be very difficult to transport them all the way to Gangwon-do.

Moreover, Hideyoshi assigned Gangwon Province to the [-]th Corps and the [-]th Corps. Hideyoshi went to fight ahead of time, which was equivalent to meddling in other people's military exploits, and it would actually annoy Mouri and Kobayakawa.

So even though he was very envious of the rich Jeolla Province, the Xiu family could only watch helplessly, not daring to touch it.

Xiujia remembered very clearly that the Korean kings and Korean officials in history, facing the overwhelming Japanese army, directly abandoned Wang Jing and fled north.

Although Wang Jing's is not as good as Jeolla Province in terms of food cultivation, it is much better than it in terms of commerce and prosperity.

Of course, none of this belonged to the Xiu family, because most of the property looted from Chungcheong and Gyeonggi belonged to Konishi Yukyoji and Kato Kiyomasa.

What the Xiu family valued were the people of the two provinces. The people here were relatively wealthy and more civilized than Gangwon and Hamgyong provinces, with a high literacy rate. They were very suitable for transporting to Kanto to fill the population.

Yes, after much deliberation, Xiujia felt that it was not appropriate to transport all the North Koreans to Vladivostok and Ezo.

If there is not a certain proportion of Japan occupying the main class, it is difficult to guarantee that Vladivostok and Hokkaido will not be declared as the inherent territory of North Korea after a hundred years with the character of the people of the universe.
Moreover, the gathering of a large number of Koreans in a distant country is not in the interest of the Xiu family. The Kanto area is fertile and sparsely populated, which is suitable for these North Koreans to empty the swamp and grow food.

The relatively high level of culture in Gyeonggi and Chungcheong also helps to improve the Sinology literacy in Kanto.

Moreover, there is a large Japanese population in the Kanto area. These Koreans transported in can be broken up into pieces and scattered in various villages to be digested. After two generations, they will be full of Japanese people.
