Chapter five hundred and fifty first distant friendship
On March 12, the second year of Tianzheng (1574), the Tianshou Pavilion in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
The guest sitting in front of Yu Qiuping was an elegant middle-aged man in purple samurai, named Kazuzo Iwobuki. He was the third son of Kazuzo Iwobuki, the younger brother of Kazuzo Iwobuki, and adopted him to the inheritance territory of Kazuzo Iwobuki. As the right-hand man of his brother, Kazuzo Iwobuki made great contributions to the unification of Tosa and the confrontation between the Kazuzo Iwobuki and the Miyoga family over the years. Therefore, Kazuzo Iwobuki relied heavily on him and almost obeyed his advice in diplomatic affairs.
This time, the arrival of the Qiantai family of Xiangzong and the Oda family, the head of the Yuqiu family, to jointly deal with the common enemy of the two families - the Sanhao family. However, it is better to say that it is the request of the Changzong and my family to help the family.
The current Miyo Family is still a behemoth in Western Japan. It controls three reticular countries on Shikoku Island, the Iyu country in the northwest, the Sangi country and the Awa country in the northeast. In addition, it also controls the Seto Inland Sea, the Shikoku country in Kinki, the Hoshitsu country in Izumi, and the Yamatsu country in Yamano. It has a huge territory of about 150,000 stones, and the troops of 6ooo people and the most powerful navy in Japan - the Awaji navy with more than 80 ships of all sizes. The other behemo family of the Western Country, the Maori family, is now his ally.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Such an enemy is obviously not something that the Nagazo Ibe family, who lives in a corner, can deal with alone. Although the Tosa Kingdom under the control of the Nagazo Ibe family, the land is barren and the stone is only 20,000 stones high. With the huge mobilization power of his lord, the Nagazo Ibe family could only barely gather a 100,000 miscellaneous force during local wars, which is completely disproportionate to the Miyo Family. Before, the Nagazo Ibe family was able to unify Tosa and even go north to harass the Miyo Family, mainly because the Miyo Family did not focus on Tosa.
Now it's different. The Miyo Family seems to plan to solve the problem of Shikoku Island once and for all. As early as more than ten years ago, Miyo Changqing and others realized the importance of solidifying the foundation under Yu Qiuping's unconscious attention - but they focused on the rich Iyu, Kazuzu, and Kazuma, rather than the barren Tosa. However, with the scattered Tosa, the power of the Nagazozo Ibu family is enough to cause some storms. This is something that the Miyo Family cannot allow to live in their back garden. Therefore, after leaving Miyo Changyi to stay in Kazuma, Miyo Yoshiki, Yoshiki, and Arakimura to stay in Kazuma, the rest of the main forces were transferred back to Shikoku Island.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Miyo family is expected to launch an attack on Tosa from three directions: the Western Route Army was led by Miyo Yoshihiko, attacking Nakamura Imperial Office from Iyu country, with a force of about 9 ooo people; the Eastern Route Army was led by Tokawa Ichizu, and attacking Anyi Castle in Tosa, with a force of 9 ooo people; the Middle Route Army was personally commanded by Miyo Nagaki, and directly inserted from Shiradicheng to the core of Tosa Kingdom - Okatoshi Okamyo Castle, which is also the Nagazomoto family, with a force of about 2 ooo people. With such a large-scale force, it seems that the Miyo family is determined to destroy the Nagazomoto family and will not withdraw due to various adverse factors.
The total attack is expected to start in mid-April after the spring plowing ends. Nagazomoto's family knew that they were no match, so they had to ask for help from the Oda family. I hope that the Oda family can take advantage of the opportunity that the main forces of the Sanhao family are in the Shiguo family to attack the Sanhao family's territory on the island of Honshu and force the Sanhao family to return to the army.
After expressing this long passage, Kasuzo's family's Kentae fell silent and waited for Yu Qiuping's reply. According to the newly planned legion system of the Oda family, the legion commanders of the Oda family's various strategy directions have great authority and can decide the choices of their allies on their own. Therefore, whether the Nagazo's family's alliance request can be successful depends largely on Yu Qiuping's judgment. Yu Qiuping was in deep thought at this moment.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
·
From the perspective of international relations, this is undoubtedly an excellent choice. "Far-to-distance and near-to-distance" describes the best diplomatic strategy for the current situation. Due to the territorial interval, there will be no conflict of interest in a short period of time. Because they have a common enemy, Sanhao Family, weakening Sanhao Family can satisfy the interests of both parties. Therefore, it is almost a natural choice for the two families to cooperate to deal with Sanhao Family.
However, there was another reason why Yu Qiuhei was in trouble - it was an order drafted by the Oda family not long ago. According to Yoshihiro Ikeda, the order was drafted by Lin Xiuzhen after suggesting to Oda Nobunaga, but he gave the credit to Oda Nobuta, and made it in his name to establish his prestige.
The requirements of the order are very simple: From now on, all large-scale battles with Sanhaojia will be delayed until the busy farming period.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
When Yu Qiuping saw this order, he couldn't help but applauded this simple and point-to-point order.
Because the Oda family has been reformed by Oda Nobunaga over the past decade, the degree of separation of soldiers and farmers has become increasingly higher. After mastering the wealthy grain production areas of Ohara, Mino and Omi, the Oda family has the strength to form a large-scale standing army. The standing army is similar to the Red Leaf Army of the Yuqiu family. All the war soldiers are full-time employed soldiers and do not need to participate in production. They only need daily training and follow the army to fight, and their salaries are released by the master family.
On the other hand, the proportion of their standing troops is almost the lowest in Japan. Because the Sanhao family has a high number of troops far away - most of them are troops evacuated with their families and the Sanhao family when the Sanhao family evacuated. They came from Kinki, but they were accumulated in the four countries. Although the countries controlled by the Sanhao family were not barren, they were not large grain production areas, and it was quite tight to supply food for so many people. The Sanhao family had no choice but to reclaim a large amount of wasteland and let the migrant troops farm. They farmed during busy farming and went on a battle during slack farming. Only in this way can they barely maintain their operations.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Therefore, spring plowing and autumn harvest are particularly important to the Sanhao family. Once these troops fail to return to the territory to work in time during spring plowing and autumn harvest, the grain and income in the second year will be gone, and the Sanhao family will not give enough salary to support the entire clan. The last time the Oda family surrounded the net, the Sanhao family had to withdraw their troops because of the food crisis. This is the disadvantage of the integration of soldiers and farmers. However, in the Oda family, the permanent soldiers were more powerful than the peasant soldiers. They did not engage in production and did not have their own farmland. They did not need to rush back to the corps during the busy farming period and disbanded the troops to farm. Although going on a battle during the busy farming period will also have an impact on the Oda family's grain harvest, the Oda family has the capital to squander like this, and their annual combat plan is not restricted by the busy farming season.
Therefore, Lin Xiuzhen suggested that when the Oda family faced against the Sanhao family, they must go out during the busy farming period, forcing the Sanhao family to give up farming and come to fight. The Oda family does not even need to win, just drag the Sanhao family's army here, and the goal will be achieved. In the long run, the Sanhao family will sooner or later collapse due to insufficient food reserves. This is a ruthless plan to damage three hundred and kill one thousand enemies. It is either a conspiracy or a naked plot. Two bottles of poison are placed on the table, so that the Sanhao family can choose a bottle to drink.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Miyo family either chose not to assemble troops and continue to farm to ensure food - so that their territory would be captured by the Oda family's standing soldiers; or they chose to separate the same soldiers and farmers from the Oda family, and used the standing soldiers who did not need production to compete with the Oda family's standing soldiers. However, the productivity of the territory controlled by the Miyo family is far less than that of the Oda family, and may only maintain the standing soldiers of the 4oooo people. This is equivalent to cutting off one-third of the Sanyo family's military power without a battle.
·
Everyone in the Oda family, including Yuqiuhei, believed that this rogue strategy would be of great success. Therefore, Oda Nobunaga planned to gather the main force of the Oda family to attack Nagashima after the spring plowing end at the end of March, and suppress Nagashima Ikki, which had plagued the Oda family for a long time. When summer passed and Qiuhun came, he led a large army to attack Miyoshi and attack Kazuzu and Izumi. This order was also drafted in the name of Oda Nobuta, and gave Sakuma Nobumoto and Yuqiuhei, who were located on the front line of the Miyoshi family's confrontation, and ordered them not to attack Menglang during the slack season.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
This made Yu Qiuping very embarrassed - because the Sanhao family was planning to kill the Changzong family during the slack season in the summer. If the Yu Qiu family could not send troops to restrain it, it would be difficult for the Changzong family to survive this disaster. Shiguo Island would be unified into the back garden of the Sanhao family. What Yu Qiuping had to face afterwards was the Sanhao family who had no worries. Losing the Changzong family would also lose an important ally to fight against the Sanhao family. This was something Yu Qiuping, as the commander of the Sanhao Strategy Legion, did not want to see.
If it was the past, Yu Qiuhei could have written to Oda Nobunaga, explaining the current situation to him, and requesting a license to send troops. According to Oda Nobunaga's temper, although he was moody and violent, he was still willing to adopt the talents and opinions of his subordinates. However, this time the situation was different. Oda Nobunaga publicly announced the order signed by Oda Nobunaga to the All Oda family, obviously trying to use this outstanding order to establish prestige for his heirs and to give Oda Nobunaga a token of prestige to Oda Nobunaga. He obviously wanted to use this outstanding order to establish prestige for his heirs and to give Oda Nobunaga a token of prestige.
Paving the way. This is the first public order from Oda Nobunaga. If Yu Qiuhei raises an objection at this time, it is no different to sweep the faces of Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobunaga, so that they cannot get out of Taiwan. Even if Yu Qiuhei secretly wrote to him and successfully convinced Oda Nobunaga to agree to send troops, but in the eyes of outsiders, Oda Nobunaga just said that all troops should maintain restraint. After you, Yu Qiuhei, you, will the prestige of the future young master be wiped out?&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Your Highness, is there any difficulty? If you need to make any guarantees from the Nagato family, the Nagato family is willing to offer his heirs." Yu Qiuping's silence was mistakenly thought by the Kasumi-sected family. At the moment of life and death, the Kasumi-sected family dare not be entrusted, and honestly exposes the bottom line of negotiations. "If you defeat the Sanhao family in the future, Sanqi, Abo, and the Nagato family in Shikoku Island also promise not to leave in nowhere, and only ask for half of Yiyu, and are willing to make a document guarantee."
