When you open the window of the five-story castle tower, you will immediately see the Seto Inland Sea under the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Ahead of the bustling port, Osaka Castle has become the new political, military, and economic center of the Date family, and wealth from all over the world has poured into Osaka Castle, and the castle town has expanded outward, with a resident population of 100,000. The wharf was full of people, all kinds of people were busy loading and unloading goods, the Wakoku is an island country, and the Seto Inland Sea is the main waterway of the Wakoku country, so the port outside Osaka is extremely prosperous, and there are two military ports nearby that clamp the Osaka Port, and the Seto Inland Sea and even the most powerful naval force in the Wakoku are moored.

In terms of the number of ships, the Date family's navy was larger than the Hirado Kaiko group, and of course, in terms of the quality of the ships and the weaponry, the Date family's navy could only win a final crushing victory in the narrow Seto Inland Sea.

At least, no matter how you look at it, the tactics used by the so-called warships of the Date family have not changed much for thousands of years, and they still charge and then climb for hand-to-hand combat, and the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, who are outstanding in personal martial arts, can be said to be the best in Asia in this regard.

The times are advancing, and the Wa Kingdom is still stuck in the era of thousands of years ago, and it will eventually be eliminated.

The corners of Zhengheng's mouth showed a slight smile, he seemed to be in a good mood, and glanced back at the ministers, although the five-story castle tower of Osaka Castle was not the tallest building in the Japanese country, but it was the most majestic building, and the fragrance of wood was everywhere.

After receiving two urgent reports last night, he suddenly became happy, and insisted on climbing the five-story castle tower to see the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea.

One is the news from Isekoku. Ise Province is really as he expected, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Akechi Mitsuhide and Kitabatake Gukyo will fight after all. Since the rise of Akechi Mitsuhide, in order to prevent the southern invasion of the wise army, in the north of the wooden castle, he established twelve bad castle groups in one breath, trying to offset the gap in strength with a castle group.

Wooden Castle's strategy seems to be effective, but it is useless, and during the armistice between the two sides, this provocation can only attract the hatred of the other side, and sure enough, after Akechi Mitsuhide tears up the agreement, the first target of attack is Wooden Castle.

Akechi Mitsuhide personally led the army out of battle, and the striker Keer Cai Youemon brandished a pole and three large guns and horses to step on the joint camp, and the wooden tools were caught off guard, and the twelve forts were broken in one day, and the defenders fled in confusion. In this battle, the defeat of the wooden building was only able to trap the wooden city.

Wise and victorious, of course, it is impossible to make Zhengheng happy. At the back of the military newspaper, there is also a piece of music from Omi, and there is also a letter of invitation from Miyazawa Heihachi, which is specifically about one thing. Mikumo Narichi and Gamo Kenhide gathered 3,000 people and broke through Suzuka Pass in one fell swoop in half a day, beheading 47 ranks and capturing more than 80 people, which can be said to have opened the passage to Ise Province. Miyazawa Heihachi is eager to fight, hoping to take advantage of the victory to invade the country of Ise and sweep away the Qing Zhi army.

The other thing is the Kangaku from Nagato, and Yoshinaga Ouchi finally fought back seven days ago. After Yoshinaga Ouchi stabilized the situation within the Ouchi family after resisting it twice, he received a small amount of support from the Date family, plus an alliance with Ryuzoji Temple and other forces. Of course, the more important thing is the news that Otomo Yoshijin is crazy, so that since Yoshinaga Ouchi, everyone in the Ouchi family thinks it is true, and it is not a fictional rumor. In this way, the Otomo family has no leader, and you must know that Ouchi Yoshicho is the younger brother of Otomo Yoshijin, and this is a brotherly dispute.

Whether it is Ise or Kyushu, these two matters are one of the things that Zhengheng is most concerned about in recent years, especially the latter, which is the main strategic direction of Zhengheng's military administration. Good news came from both places at the same time, and Zheng Heng could not hide his joy in his heart.

Akechi Mitsuhide of Ise Province and Honda Masanobu of Echizen Province are the two tigers released by Mashiro, especially Akechi Mitsuhide of Ise Province, who always threatens Omi, Yamato, Iga, Kii, Owari, Mino and other places, and if such a bomb is not removed, he will not be able to raise troops in the west and out of the east with peace of mind.

Honda Masanobu of Echizen Province, first of all, Katayama Moricho of Tsuruga Prefecture and Asai Nagamasa of Kita-Omi locked his road to Kamiraku, so that he had to advance along the Hokuriku Province, and finally collided with Echigo Uesugi Kenshin. Honda Masanobu has changed from a military advisor to a heroic figure, not to mention Uesugi Kenshin, the two will inevitably collide in Vietnam. The purpose of Masanobu Honda released by Masahiro was to disrupt Hokuriku and contain Uesugi Kenshin, so that Uesugi Kenshin could not go all out to forge ahead.

Honda Masanobu and Akechi Mitsuhide who is more dangerous. In the heart of Masahiro, Honda Masanobu is even more dangerous, and Honda Masanobu, who controls Echizen, Kaga, Noto, and Echichu with two million stones, and has three or four hundred thousand pounds, will be a huge bomb.

However, it was far from being the first to be hit by this bomb, and Uesugi Kenshin, who also had vital interests in Etsuchu and Noto, would not want to see a huge tiger appear on his side, and the relationship between the two sides was difficult to reconcile, just like he and Kai's Takeda Shingen.

Zhengheng thought for a while, he replied to the hall again, sat down, and teased: "If you are not careful, Wise Mitsuhide dares to tear up the armistice agreement I decided in front of me, but it impresses me, and he is really a little bold." ”

Noyama Yichao smiled: "He's just a little bold!" ”

Qinghe Hengxiu silently took out a map from his arms and slowly unfolded it.

Zhengheng bent down, took a general look, and said, "Hey, isn't this the matchup between Akechi Mitsuhide and Kitabatake?" If Linglu Pass hadn't fallen, Kitabatake Gukyo would probably not have lasted until the end of the year, but now, Suzuka Pass was lost, and there was a big loophole behind Akechi Mitsuhide, I don't know what he would do? ”

Qinghe Hengxiu muttered: "The Suzuka Pass broke through in half a day, and it will definitely deter the Wise Army, and also deter the large and small people in Ise. ”

Qinghe Hengxiu obviously does not agree with Miyazawa Heihachi's meritorious service again, as long as the Suzuka Pass is repaired again, there will be room for attack, retreat and defense, so that there is no need for the generals of the Date family to go out, and send three or two kittens to complete the task of harassment.

There was a meaningful smile on Kuroda Kanwei's handsome face, and he obviously saw some secrets hidden behind the solemn smile, but with Kuroda's status and vital interests, he would not say it to his face.

Qinghe, Matsushima, and Iwalai can be said to be the first generation of attendants around Zhengheng, and they are older than the qualifications of the first generation of guard chief Katayama Hengchang, and when Katayama Hengchang served as the chief of guard, the three of them had already debuted to take the lead and galloped on the battlefield for Zhengheng.

Kuroda Kanbei is considered a descendant of Qinghe and others, and he is also a squire, unlike outsiders like Miyazawa Heihachi, Miyazawa Heihachi has held important positions since he came, and although he was depressed for a while, he was once again glowing after Shangluo and became the lord of Sawa Mountain Castle.

This makes Qinghe Hengxiu and others embarrassed, so how can Qinghe Hengxiu recommend Miyazawa Heiba to make war exploits again.

Kuroda Kanbei pondered for a moment and said, "The Suzuka Pass has been broken, and it is true that the opportunity should not be missed. However, Sawa Yamashiro is located in a strategic location, and it is important to monitor Mino, Owari, Kita-Omi and other places, and the responsibility of Saemon Governor is so heavy that he cannot easily move. ”

Just heard the first half of the sentence, Qinghe Hengxiu's face changed slightly, but a god turned around, killed Miyazawa Heihachi, breathed a sigh of relief, his face became ruddy, and he glanced at Kuroda Kanbei, showing a trace of kindness in his eyes.

"There's another important point." Ueno Masacho suddenly interjected: "Will the affairs of Ise Province cause the peeps of Mino and Owari, Oda Nobunaga of Owari heard that he has recovered his vitality, if he attacks Ise, according to the current empty defense line in the north, I am afraid he will not be able to resist his attack." ”

Oda Nobunaga of Owari is an unruly and unruly hero, and the direction in which he can develop has been locked by the political balance, and now Ise has one more choice, and according to his ambitions, I am afraid that he will not let go of this opportunity to expand his territory.

Masahiro bowed slightly, agreeing with what Masaga Ueno said.

Seeing the nodding of the political balance, the face of the chief of Ueno showed a happy smile, he has always been a soy sauce role, never made any insightful remarks in the military meeting, very aggrieved, and now it is not easy to get the affirmation of the political balance, which naturally makes the chief of Ueno happy.

Masahiro looked at Kuroda Kanbei. Kuroda thought for a moment and hesitated: "According to Akechi Mitsuhide's position, the breaking of Suzuka Pass has led to a great change in the situation in the north, and Akechi Mitsuhide is in danger of being attacked by the enemy. He was caught off guard and would not give up the southern offensive, because he understood that once he retreated, he would die faster. Then the best option for Akechi Mitsuhide is to quickly defeat Kizokumasa, Kizukusea is a flat castle that will not hold out for long under the strong attack of the Akechi army. After breaking through the wooden city, he divided a part of his men to contain the castle of Okochi, and then returned to the north with the main force. ”

Zhengheng smiled: "Wise Mitsuhide wants to break the cage and fight to the death, so he will fulfill his wish and give him a decisive battle." I would like to see how Akechi Mitsuhide fights and how he can get out of trouble when he is embattled. ”

……

Early in the morning of July 18, the joy of breaking through the twelve castle groups in succession was gone, and the flames in the wooden castle were blazing, and the heart of Akechi Mitsuhide was also blazing, and he never thought that Suzuka Pass would be lost, and Miyake Yaheiji was breached after only half a day.

Mizoo Shigeto's heart also sank into the abyss, and the fall of Suzuka Pass was even worse for the wise family, who knows if the Date family will continue to pour into Ise Province from Suzuka Pass. (To be continued.) )
