Chapter 1022: Before the Decisive Battle (9)
Takigawa Yiyi naturally knew that the lord was not joking with himself, if the Toyotomi family won this battle, then the whole world would be his, and only with his own hundreds of thousands of stone land, he could only wait for the end of being reduced or even changed, so after he finished speaking, Takigawa Yiyi hesitated for a while, and finally said hard: "My lord, my subordinates are new to Ise, and the territory is not stable, but if the lord asks, I am willing... Willing to send thirteen thousand troops to fight. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”
13,000 people, this is already more than the limit for Takigawa Yiyi, the army under his command is only 16,000 people now, and once 13,000 people are dispatched, the remaining army is not enough to protect the territory, and can only use the remaining 3,000 troops to defend in the city, to avoid any uncontrollable situation, as long as the city is still there, as long as the mountain army is defeated, then who will attack is absolutely a dead end.
Although the number of troops increased by 3,000, it still could not satisfy Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but this time the Takayama family used 140,000 troops, 40,000 more than he expected, and if the number of troops did not exceed the other party's large number, then he could not feel at ease at all.
So when Takigawa Kazuyi finished speaking again, Toyotomi Hideyoshi stopped inking with him, and said directly: "The Takigawa family sent out an army of 15,000, and for each person missing, after defeating the Takayama family, the seal will be reduced by 10,000 stones." ”
"My lord, my subordinates...
"Shut up! This matter has been decided, and I will never change it. ”
"Hey, it's my lord." Takigawa Yiyi saw that the lord was serious this time, and he thought that no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not change his mind, and in the end he could only admit it, and finally made a plan, and after the meeting, he still dispatched 13,000 elites, as for the remaining 2,000, he will temporarily recruit some, anyway, there is no shortage of armor and weapons, and it is not difficult to temporarily arm 2,000 troops to fight, and for more than 100,000 troops, 2,000 troops will not affect the battle situation at all, who can know. After making such a decision, Takigawa Kazuyi finally agreed.
It's just that with his experience, the samurai present also knew that this time the lord was going to play with the Gao Shan family, and they originally wanted to leave some spare strength, but now it seems that such a plan will not work at all, since this is the case, then it is better to be honest.
So after Takigawa Yiyi finished speaking, he only heard Maori Terumoto say: "The lord, the subordinates and Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa have part of the land of the five countries such as Aki, nearly 700,000 stones, and they are willing to send 15,000 troops to seize the world for the lord." Although Motoharu Yoshikawa and Takakei Kobayakawa have each inherited his family, they have always been one with the Mori family, so Mori Terumoto said on behalf of the two.
The three of them are not unable to dispatch more troops, after all, the three families each control a lot of silver mountains, but they and Toyotomi Hideyoshi face the same problem, that is, once the Nagazong family leads the army to attack at this time, what should they do, so although they have a total of 40,000 troops, they have to leave a large number of troops to defend in the territory, so the three families decided to send 5,000 each.
But it is clear that such a figure still does not satisfy Toyotomi Hideyoshi. That is, he thought of the problem of Changzong's family, so he didn't feel too embarrassed, so he only heard him say: "Your three families sent 25,000 troops, so it was decided." ”
"My lord, Changzong and my family are on the side, and if my subordinates mobilize more troops, I am afraid that the territory will not be guaranteed, so... Kobayakawa Takakei just said halfway.
was directly stopped by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, "I haven't taken back the gold and silver mountains of your three families, if you don't send an army of 25,000, then I'll send someone to take over now, do you believe it or not?" ”
Mori Terugen saw how much more his uncle Yoshikawa Motoharu wanted, and hurriedly pulled him, they will definitely not be able to dispatch an army of 25,000, after all, it is important to seize the world for the lord, but this cannot affect the safety of the family, since this is the case, it can only temporarily recruit some ashigaru, anyway, the three families are not short of money, as long as they have money, they can arm a large army in a very short time,
"My lord, my subordinates have 300,000 stone land in the northern Omi half of the country, and I am willing to send 15,000 troops to participate in the war." Compared with the retainers who just spoke, although there is not much land under Niwa Nagahide's rule, Omi is a rich land, and Oda Nobunaga has been well organized in the general after seizing here, which makes him pick up a bargain, and obviously the decisive battle with the Takayama family must be carried out in Omi, so there is no need to leave too much military strength in the territory, and this time the Niwa family can be regarded as pouring out.
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi was finally in a better mood after hearing that he was willing to dispatch 15,000 troops, and this time he didn't make any more excessive requests, but just asked Yubi Ota Ushiichi who was lined up to record it.
"Lord Toyotomi, it is my responsibility to destroy the Takayama family, so my Tokugawa family is willing to send 30,000 troops to help in this battle, and I ask for your permission."
"Okay, Tokugawa-sama, after defeating the Takayama family, I will not forget the credit of your lordship in sending troops to help." Toyotomi Hideyoshi is very satisfied with the Tokugawa family's ability to send 30,000 troops, the Tokugawa family has 640,000 stone from Tanba, Tango, Danma, and Izumo Shikoku, and it is absolutely the limit to be able to send 30,000 troops, and it is really rare to have such an awareness as an ally.
And when Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking, several more samurai spoke one after another, but compared with the above people, the land they owned was far worse, at most only about 100,000 koku, so the military strength of the dispatch could not be compared with these important ministers at all, and when these people spoke one after another, Toyotomi Hideyoshi found that the strongest retainer in his family kept his head down and did not mean to speak.
So when another retainer finished speaking, he only heard him ask: "Matsunaga, how many troops are you going to send into battle?" ”
The governor of the Matsunaga family has been taken over by Matsunaga Hide's sister-in-law Matsunaga at the end of last year, after all, Matsunaga Hide is now 70 years old, much older than Shibata Katsuya, although he also wants to participate in this battle of the world, but unfortunately his body can't fight at all, so in the end, in desperation, he can only pass the position of the governor to his son-in-law, and he lives a reclusive life.
After all, it was the first time for Matsunaga to participate in such an important meeting, and for a while he only cared about calculating the military strength of his family, and after the lord spoke publicly, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates have a country of Yamato and a half of the country of Minami and a million stones, and I am willing to send two troops... Twenty-five thousand troops entered the battle. ”
