different warring states of japan

Chapter 1852 The wind blows and flags move people’s hearts.
Hashiba Hideyoshi's expression was angry at first, then calm, and finally he sighed deeply and bowed slightly towards Kuroda Takataka.

"Kuroda-hime's words are like enlightenment. I should cheer up and not let Takenaka-hime down.

Please forgive me for my willfulness, continue to help me, and fill in my gaps, please. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi's face was sincere, which made Kuroda Takataka tremble in his heart and bowed in return.

Maybe the relationship between the two is a naked connection of interests, but Hashiba Hideyoshi's attitude is always refreshing and full of personality charm.

Hideyoshi Hashiba's background was too low, so he was never picky about food and dared to use any talent.

Hashiba Hidenaga headed the clan, including the cheap relatives of her husband's family, the Owari clan sent by Oda Nobunaga, the Omi clan recruited from the territory, and the Harima clan and Bizen clan who needed to be won over at the moment.

Hashiba Hideyoshi had no better choice. She was even more helpless than the once impoverished Shiba Yoshigan, so she had no choice but to bring these warriors with different ideas together and let them work for her.

Whatever is good at dealing with people and being good at dealing with people are all skills that are forced out. If Hideyoshi Hashiba's affinity was just a little bit worse, she wouldn't be able to get to where she is today.

Therefore, Takenaka Shigeharu asked her to reuse Kuroda Takataka. Even if she had many dissatisfaction with the lame man in front of her, this Nanbarian believer, this utilitarian, she would smile and reuse him in unity.

This is Hideyoshi Hashiba, a counterattacker who came from a humble background and could not make a wrong step. He could only rely on himself and longed to conquer the world wholeheartedly.

She has chosen to give up Sibo Yiyin, so she must gain the world!
In a sense, she and Kuroda Takaka are the same kind of people, suffering from the same problem.Because the sunk costs are too high, they must receive adequate compensation to soothe their hearts.

After the monarch and his ministers initially established trust, Hideyoshi Hashiba asked calmly.

"Now that I have entered Harima for the first time, I am surrounded by dangers. How should I get out of trouble and conquer the Western Kingdom?
I also ask Kuroda Hime to give me some advice. "

Kuroda Takaka said in a deep voice.

“My Lord, if you want to gain a firm foothold and face Maori, you must do three things.

First, capture the United States.

Americasaku Country was originally part of Bizen Country, but was later separated into an independent territory.

This country is a landlocked country located between the mountains of China. It guards the entrance and exit channels of Izumo Country, separates the mountain and yin roads, and overlooks the basins, plains and coasts of the surrounding territorial countries. It is a battleground for military strategists.

Whenever the Yamano family and the Akamatsu family rise, they will compete for the Meisaku Kingdom. Whoever controls the Meisaku Kingdom can use the mountains of China to invade the opponent's territory from a high position and gain the upper hand.

The Shiba and Oda families are cooperating to conquer the Western Kingdom. The frontline countries of Sanin are threatened by the Shiba army. The Maori family does not dare to be distracted. This is a good opportunity for us to take the initiative.

Although Miasaku Country is located between Sanyin and Mountain Yang, directly connected to Izumo Country, it is a territorial kingdom under Sanyang Road. It is reasonable for the Lord to send troops to occupy this country. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded.

It stands to reason that everyone wants to control a military town like the United States by themselves.

Especially Nizi Katsuhisa, the general of the Western Kingdom of the Shiba family. The Nizi family she was born in is a famous family in Izumo country, and she is determined to revive her family and country.

Miasaku Country is the main road leading to Izumo Country, and Nizi Katsuhisa naturally hopes to hold it in his hands.

However, according to the agreement between the Shiba and Oda families, Hashiba Hideyoshi took action to win the United States. Katsuhisa Nizi had nothing to say and could only accept the gap behind him, which was pinched by Hashiba Hideyoshi.

This is quite beneficial to Hashiba Hideyoshi. Not only did Nizi Katsuhisa find her weakness, but she also had to help her stabilize Sanin's front-line defenses.

In this way, Hashiba Hideyoshi could completely ignore the side pressure from the direction of Sanin, and not be afraid that the U.S. Army would be attacked by the famous Tajima Inaba Mountains, and use all his strength to deal with the Maori army preparing for the Chinese direction.

Moreover, the three kingdoms of Harima, Bizen, and Meisaku were originally one, and the Akamatsu family and the Urakami family ruled the three kingdoms successively.

The close relationship between the martial arts families of the three countries is conducive to diplomatic negotiations and alliances, which is Hideyoshi Hashiba's strength.

Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded and said.

"With the victory of the United States, Harima and Bizen will be stable. The three countries will become one, and they can fight against the Maori family."

Kuroda Takaka bowed slightly to express his approval, and then continued.

“Second, win over the navy.

The countries along the Sanyo front line are all on the northern coast of the Seto Inland Sea, with an endless coastline. Once attacked by enemy naval forces, there are loopholes everywhere and it is difficult to guard against them.

If you want to gain a foothold here, you must have the support of naval forces to ensure the safety of the rear. "

Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded silently.

It’s not that the Oda family doesn’t have a naval force, Kuuki Yoshitaka’s Shima navy is subordinate to the Oda family.

The navy of the island country in this era was actually a group of pirates active at sea. They lived by smuggling supplies, robbing merchant ships, and collecting protection fees.

It's just that women and boats can roam the sea, but their husbands and children must have a place to live. That's why they were recruited by the martial arts lords from all over the country and used as sailors.

Being a thief on weekdays and a soldier in wartime is also a characteristic of the island country.

The Oda family's Kuuki navy was far away in Shima country, and it was inconvenient to come to the Seto Inland Sea.

Not to mention whether Hashiba Hideyoshi can command and use him at will, even if Kuuki Yoshiro is willing to let Hime control him, she may not be able to defeat the local navy active in the Seto Inland Sea.

The locals are familiar with the geographical environment. Without an overwhelming advantage, it would be difficult for outsiders to defeat the local snakes.

The navy active in the Seto Inland Sea has the longest history and the most powerful one is the Murakami Navy, also known as Mishima Murakami.

The three islands came from the same source. Because they lived in three places, they gradually divided into three branches, each doing its own thing.

The Murakami navy originally surrendered to the Kono family, the daimyo of Iyo country, and existed as the Kono family navy.

The Kono family is also a well-established family. Iyo Country is located in the northern part of Shikoku Island, and its coastline covers the central part of the Seto Inland Sea. Its strategic location is extremely important.

Therefore, when the surrounding samurai families rise, they must conquer the Iyo Kingdom and defeat the Kono family.

The Otomo family rose in Kitakyushu, and the Miyoshi family rose in the eastern part of Shikoku Island. The two families fought from the east and west to attack the Kono family in Iyo country.

When these two families weakened and had no time to take care of themselves, the Mori family rose up in Aki Kingdom in the north, the Chosogabe family also rose up in Tosa Kingdom in the south, and the Kono family in Iyo Kingdom continued to be beaten from north to south.

In short, whoever rises in the southeast, northwest, and northwest will come to Iyo country to step on them. The Kono family, which was still relatively strong, was consumed in waves and gradually became a weak vassal.

In the end, the Kono family bowed to the Maori family and led Maori into the house to fight against the Chosogabe family who came from the south.

At this time, although the Miyoshi family in the east was in decline, the more powerful Oda family was preparing to land on Shikoku Island and sweep away thousands of troops.

What does it mean to be a battleground for military strategists, and what does it mean to be an unlucky person who is guilty of carrying a jade? The Kono family is a clear proof.Kuroda Takataka was familiar with the human geography of Western countries and talked about it eloquently.

“The Seto Inland Sea Navy, the Mishima Murakami Navy is the first, followed by the Awaji Anzai Navy.

The Kono family was weak and unable to restrain the Murakami naval forces, so Mishima and Murakami all turned to Mingchu.

Kurushima Murakami followed the Kono family to eat ashes, Noshima Murakami belonged to the Kobayakawa family, and Inshima Murakami was a Maori retainer.

The Maori and Sichuan system is originally one family, Noshima Murakami, and Inshima Murakami are also part of the system, making it difficult to win over.

But the Kono family was in decline, and Shimamura had to find a way out, so he might give it a try.

The Anzai Marines of Awaji Province were originally one of the pillars of the Miyoshi family's dominance. However, since Miyoshi Nagakei forced his sister Anzai Fuyayasu to commit suicide by committing seppuku, the Anzai Marines have gradually drifted away from the Miyoshi family.

Anzhai Dongkang's daughter, Anzhai Nobukang, inherited the Anzhai family. Although she was named Miyoshi's retainer, she was actually independent for a long time and ignored the orders of the Miyoshi family.

The Maori family dominates the Western Kingdom, and the navy is very powerful. If you want to fight against it, you must have a strong navy to help.

Shima Kyuki Sailor, Kurushima Murakami Sailor, and Awaji Anzai Sailor. .We should recruit naval forces from all over the world, the more the better. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded.

"Come to Shimamuragami Navy, I'll think of a solution. Nobuyasu Anzai's side... The main hall has ordered Senior Niwa Nagahide to be in charge of the Four Kingdoms Strategy, so she will naturally not miss Awaji Kuni Anzai Navy.

Anzhai Nobuyasu had long intended to surrender to the Kyoto center and surrender to the Fushimi Castle system.

With the diplomatic mediation of Niwa-senpai, the Anzhai navy will definitely join the Oda family's navy and be used by the main hall.

I have a very good relationship with Niwa-senpai, and we fight side by side. Once she takes down the Anzhai navy, she will definitely help me maintain the security of the Seto Inland Sea.

As for the Kuuki navy, the main hall has ordered Kuuki Yoshiro to bring the ship to Settsu Country to participate in the Western Kingdom Four Kingdoms strategy.

As long as the three navies cooperate, the Maori family will not be able to take advantage at sea. "

Kuroda Takagao nodded and said.

“Third, it’s what I said before, suppressing China.

The United States and the maritime navy are both our flanks. What really determines the direction of the war is the frontal battlefield.

Preparing China is so important that neither the Maori family nor we can afford to lose. Whoever loses Preparing China will fall into passivity.

The Ukita Nao family cooperated with the Mori family to eliminate the Mimura family of Bichuge and got some of the Bichu land. We have to take it from the Ukita Nao family and hold it.

As long as we can stabilize part of China and fight with the Maori family on the front line of China, the Maori family will only become weaker and weaker.

The Shiba Oda family is already the most powerful samurai force in the world. Now they are working together to conquer the Western Kingdom. Who can stop them?
The Maori family's vain attempt to fight against the heavenly soldiers is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot. They do not know their own strength and bring about their own destruction. "

Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded solemnly, but there was a hint of worry in his heart.

She was new here and had a lot to do.

Capture the beautiful work, win over the naval forces, stabilize the rear areas of Harima and Bizen, and block the Maori counterattack on the front line of Bichu.

It takes a lot of time to deal with all these thousands of things coming together.

But what is Oda Nobunaga’s temperament?Can she watch Hideyoshi Hashiba slowly consolidate his position and become the overlord of the Western Kingdom?

In the heart of the great master, Hashiba Hideyoshi was just a tool for the Oda family to expand their territory. He only needed to fight forward desperately and consume the strength of the Mori family for the Oda family.

As for the mess in the Western Kingdom, it was Oda Nobunaga who took matters into his own hands and made things right, and it had nothing to do with Hideyoshi Hashiba.

Hideyoshi Hashiba only needs to continue his expedition with his remaining army to open up more territory for the Oda family.

Hashiba Hideyoshi knew very well when his best chance was, and that was when he was able to stabilize Harima, Bizen, Meisaku Three Kingdoms, and suppress the Maori family in preparation for China.

Only at this time is when Oda Nobunaga is most generous. She will reward her with knowledge and deeds in the Three Kingdoms and recognize her military merits.

Once the Maori family was defeated and surrendered, Oda Nobunaga would repeat his old tricks, taking away the foundation of the Western Kingdom that he had finally built, and then use various reasons to drive himself to the forefront.

Either he will continue to be depleted in victory and never be able to accumulate the strength to fight Oda Nobunaga, or after a certain failure, he will be turned against and severely punished by Oda Nobunaga and lose everything he owns.

The lessons learned by Lin Xiuzhen, Ando Moriyu, and Sakuma Nobumori were remembered by all Oda retainers. Over the years, everyone knew what Oda Nobunaga thought.

Oda Nobunaga was very generous, but behind his generosity was a ruthlessness that could be taken away at any time.

No matter you are a distinguished veteran, a surrendered boss, or an old confidant, as long as you make her unhappy, everything can be taken away from you with just one sentence.

Take something and take it away, as the saying goes.

Hashiba Hideyoshi is not afraid of the Mori family. No matter how strong the Mori family is, can it be stronger than the Shiba and Oda families joining forces?
What she needs is an opportunity!Why isn’t Oda Nobunaga dead yet?

Why are everyone still enduring when they are obviously being oppressed to the point of being out of breath? No one is willing to stand up and take the lead.

Takenakahime. .Why do you want to die? .How can you die. .If you die, I don’t even know what to do. .

You said that Oda Nobunaga will die a good death, but I don't know when and how she will die?
You asked me to prepare early, but I don’t know anything, so how should I prepare?

Hideyoshi Hashiba was thinking silently, but he didn't know that Takaka Kuroda, who was below him, had been observing her expression.

This cripple with dysentery has lost all her beauty and hope in imprisonment. She originally wanted to join the Oda family to achieve greater success, but she almost killed her whole family.

Oda Nobunaga was so domineering, and he dared to raise a butcher's knife against the hostages' families for a little unclear information. It was really too arrogant and too chilling.

Kuroda Takaka has hatred in her heart, but she knows very well that the gap between herself and Oda Nobunaga is worlds apart, and she must not show a trace of dissatisfaction.

But during these days of observation, she suddenly discovered something intriguing. Hashiba Hideyoshi, whom she followed, seemed to have other thoughts about Oda Nobunaga.

Takenaka Shigeharu's final entrustment is still vivid in my mind. That meaningful entrustment seems to be more than just assisting Hashiba Hideyoshi to win the Western Kingdom and become a prince of the Oda family.

if. .If Hideyoshi Hashiba has higher ambitions, should he follow a bigger one?
Thinking of this, Kuroda Takaka's aching residual leg became more stinging, which made her mouth twitch, half-smiling.

Since Oda Nobunaga can compete for the position of the Lord of the World, why can't Hashiba Hideyoshi?Since even Hashiba Hideyoshi, who came from a humble background, dared to have such a delusion, why couldn't he think about it?
The king and his ministers are right, and both of them have indescribable thoughts.

Not far away, the white flags in front of Takenaka Shigeharu's mourning hall were blown by a gust of night wind. I don't know whether it was the wind, the flags, or the floating hearts of the people.
