Anyun country, Toyota-gun, by the sea.

On the ground, the wall of sacks piled up more than half a meter was discarded aside, and the Dongjiang sappers who had been working for two or three days lazily returned to the team, looking at the long military camp town, the corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitched.

Dongjiang is distinguished by firearms and infantry, and it stands to reason that the more rugged the terrain, the higher the power of Mao Jue's army, but this time, he placed his army on the vast plain by the sea in Toyoda County, and it seems that he deliberately showed weakness to the shogunate's eastern army.

Mao Jue seemed to marry the eldest girl, and this cut off the supply line of the shogunate's lifeline, in order to provoke the shogunate army, or attack Hagi Castle, or attack himself, of course, the latter is what Mao Jue prefers, so he deliberately dressed up beautifully, let Li Chaojun stay on Shikoku Island, and scattered the Japanese army within fifty miles of Toyota County, waiting for Matsudaira Nobutsuna to cut him.

Who knows, this goods gave him another eyelid, and the last battle of Nagasaki is almost the same, in a trance, this goods full of 170,000 troops disappeared from Yizhou City, Kawaigawa military camp, and when they found out again, they had retreated to Beizhou City, China, and they were still retreating.

The golden principle of not fighting a group if people are not in unison really makes Matsudaira Nobutsuna play it to the fullest. Mao Jue was thrown away at least a thousand miles, and he still farted?

However, in terms of the situation, it was still Mao Jue's earnings, after all, he didn't spend a single soldier, the western kingdom was prepared for the front, the middle of the country, the queen of the country, Izumo, Boqi and other eleven order countries, more than 30 feudal domains and even the Tokugawa family's own hundreds of thousands of Shi Tianling were directly thrown away, millions of people equivalent to a Li family's territory in Korea Just let him directly accept it, a full third of the small half of the Wa country belongs to him.

It would have been better if it weren't for the 300,000 shogunate army that was being assembled waiting for him in Osaka.

In the sound of the horn, the Dongjiang reserve army, which had dug a trench for more than three days, lazily put away the sapper shovel and replaced it with a flintlock pistol.

People are not perfect, Matsudaira Nobutsuna is a famous general, but he is not a famous marshal, his stride back is indeed to keep the main force of the shogunate army, and he does not fully grasp the opportunity to ensure the shogunate's victory, but politically, those things that Aoyama Yukinari scruples about are highlighted.

First of all, there is the Hiroshima Domain of Aki Province, which has 410,000 koku.

This was originally the hometown of the Mori family, but after the Sekigahara War and the Mori family were trapped, Tokugawa Ieyasu was transferred to Fukushima Masanori, who made a meritorious contribution to Sekigahara.

Regarding the Battle of Sekigahara, many people have an illusion that Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately became a shogun after fighting this battle, and the two sides fought for the world, but in fact, at that time, regardless of the Eastern Army or the Western Army, the goal of the loyalty of most of the main forces was still the Toyotomi family, but it was an infighting between the civilian faction headed by Ishida Mitsunari and the military generals who were fooled into the battle by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the retainers of the Toyotomi family. The Tokugawa family was ready to take action against the Toyotomi family.

Although Fukushima Masanori belonged to the Eastern Army, he was also half a loyal minister of the Toyotomi family, and although he did not respond to Toyotomi Hideyori's call, he still acquiesced to the Toyotomi family's hoarding of grain and grass resources in the Hiroshima Domain, because this matter was suspicious of the Tokugawa family, and found an excuse for Fukushima Masanori to repair the city wall without the permission of the shogunate, and was deprived of his territory and demoted to Kiyotsu, and then deprived several times, and the Fukushima family of 510,000 koku was cut down to 3,150 koku of the Banner family, and had to run to the Edo fence.

But the influence of the Toyotomi family is everywhere, and the inheritance of the Hiroshima domain is still the old minister of the Toyotomi family, the son of the fifth minister Asano Nagamasa, Asano Hissei, and now the Hiroshima domain has been passed to the third generation of the lord of the domain, Mitsumori Asano.

When the Mori family raised troops some time ago, Mitsumori Asano was leading 5,000 samurai from the Hiroshima Domain on a Hajj Shrine and was on standby at Edo Castle, and his troops were assigned to Matsudaira Nobutsuna's team, and he also participated in the counteroffensive against the Mori family.

But good guy, Lao Tzu lost his home, and now that the army is gathered, do you want Lao Tzu to continue to participate and lose his home? This Asano Mitsusheng is mentality exploded, on April 20, the third day when Mao Jue led the army to the north, this guy led 10,000 samurai retainers of the Hiroshima Domain to personally go east to greet him, and he joined the Western Army.

His surrender, the Maori family is uncomfortable, the territory of An Yun Country passed down by the ancestors will not be recovered, and he can't drive down his own lord's name, right? But for Mao Jue, Asano Mitsusheng is a figure like Song Jiang in time, and he came too timely.

This goods is the first Eastern Army daimyo camp to take refuge in himself, he is considered a banner, after accepting Asano Mitsusheng, Mao Jue took him as the vanguard, almost at the speed of a march, received Bigo, Bichu, Misaku, Harima and other territories, along the way, because the lord led the army out, the retainers of the various families who were left in the territory and the headless flies had to lean towards him.

Increasing the number of 10,000 or 20,000 troops for Mao Jue, in fact, is not a big deal, the real meaning, is the local order represented by those retainers, thanks to the Japanese feudal system, the shogunate only manages the lord daimyo, and can not directly interfere in the feudal administration, Matsudaira Nobutsuna retreated, although he can take as much as he can, but after all, he does not dare to clear the wall along the way, if he really wants to do that, even if he wins, the shogunate has to lose too much popularity, and now these retainers come over, and the local materials have begun to be like spring water, Moisturizing Mao Jue's army came one by one.

Here, Mao Jue's hard work to recruit his subordinates Yuan Chonghuan played a big role again, to be honest, in the war, Mao Jue was really not very cold to the two brushes of Yuan Inspector, Yuan Chonghuan's greatest talent is still a stable place, a chaotic Liaodong experienced a great victory in his hands, regained a foothold, those loose and domineering Liaodong generals were also combed into a rope by him, although the war of King Qinjing was ugly, but it did not show too many flaws, but after Yuan Chonghuan died in history, Liaodong fell apart.

Looking at the battle of Songjin fought by Hong Chengchou, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, took the lead in escaping, and then Wu Sangui, what Ma Ke Li Fuming and others fled with the road, and also encountered an ambush by the Qing army in the middle of the way, and the corpses were killed on the sea of Bijia Mountain, and there were almost not many of the 130,000 people who escaped back.

In the next few days, in the marching procession, there was a strange scene, a large sedan chair carried by eight people, piled with heavy account books, really a bit of a Japanese minister, wearing a high hat, wearing feather weaving, lying on a table and writing straight, from time to time raised his head and shouted, one letter after another was taken out by the military scouts waiting next to him.

These Mao Jue looked at the dizzy account book, in his place just combed with the few acres of vegetable land in the backyard of his house, pinched by hand, under his dispatch, the front of the retainers, the retainers who came over, Mao Jue's army has not yet arrived, there have been Japanese people under the order to transport military supplies to the road that the army must pass, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's famous Chinese retreat, and it is still pre-cooked rice, hanging on the mule, the soldiers do not stop, hungry to eat directly to eat, Mao Jue This is good, Someone directly has cooked the meal, and the army just has to go.

What's more worth mentioning is that there is a little fan sister next to Inspector Yuan, when he was seriously writing and writing, the princess of the Toyotomi family, Chiyohime, was lying on the edge of the table with such beautiful eyes, and Yuan Chonghuan was dry on the inkstone, and she immediately poured ink on it.

It's a pity that her identity was not announced, if she knew that the princess of the Toyotomi family was like a concubine and waited for Mao Jue's hand to praise the painting documents, those daimyo who fell under the command of the Toyotomi family would not have exploded.

Riding by, snooping at the sedan chair, Mao Jue scratched the back of his head with a little envy, but immediately, there was a coughing sound behind him, looking back, holding a stack of military affairs, Adriana deliberately pushed the little brain to the side, and the little mouth was cute and pouting.

No matter what nationality a woman is, whether it is white skin or yellow skin, jealousy is really common, and it is a dumb smile, Mao Jue shook his head with a smile, and immediately kicked the horse's belly.

"Drive!"

"Hey!"

This thing didn't come to coax herself, she ran away, Adriana was really shaken by him unexpectedly, Qiaoli's face flashed with astonishment, and then she was angry and kicked the horse's belly violently.

It's not easy to make this calm woman lose a little bit, in the long line, a cavalry hurricane flew by, and one by one the Dongjiang infantry seemed to hear the proud laughter of their own generals.

This can be regarded as the longest war since Mao Jue crossed, and it is also after the Chinese Great March, May 1, the time of the global holiday in later generations, Mao Jue led the army to finally walk out of most of the Kansai and arrived in Settsu Province, which once made Oda Nobunaga sink into the sand several times, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pride Osaka Castle.

It's just that what is waiting here at this time is not Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who retreated in panic at the beginning, but more than 270,000 shogunate troops are waiting for the magnificent castle tower in Osaka like an overwhelming place, and the layers of flags and family emblems are floating all over the sky, and even the Osaka city wall behind them is covered.

And in the middle of the entire huge military array, a huge curtain of military domains hung there, and the dazzling black three-leaf sunflower pattern looked down majestically on the Western army that had formed and entered the field like a huge eye.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun, has arrived! He also brought 110,000 Fuso elites, including the Tohoku daimyo Date family.

"This ......, this is the Fusang ...... of the small country of Puer"

I have never seen so many armies in my life, and my eyes are full of black and pressed samurai, with big-horned helmets, antler helmets, ghost masks, wolf tooth masks, in short, all kinds of strange flag warriors shaking their weapons and grinning with their teeth, I can't count how many there are, and Yu Dacheng's legs are soft, his teeth are a little trembling, and he shouts in disbelief.

Mao Jue, who was also riding a horse to meet the front, was just a small otaku temporary worker a few years ago, but his face was full of sneers and excited fighting spirit.

"The place where hegemony began!"
