Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1745

After a long time, Gao Yushi reappeared in the small restaurant on the first floor of Rixin Building.Liu Xin was originally in a low mood and kept thinking about her own thoughts. When she saw Gao Wushi changed her clothes and appeared with a bright red face, she felt a bit of resentment for some reason, and muttered: "It is said that the journey of thousands of miles was exhausted, but the result It took more than half an hour to take a bath, and the dishes were almost cold."

Gao Pragmatic's face was thick enough, he just ignored it, and sat down in his seat without changing his expression.Meng Gu Zhezhe and Narita Kaifei who followed behind him were not as capable as him. After listening to Liu Xin's words, the two brushed Xiafei's cheeks together, and even the roots of their ears were red.

The two of them didn't dare to say anything, they just stood behind Gao Yushi cautiously, like two little maids who did something wrong.This way, on the contrary, Liu Xin, who had already been seated, was set off like a mistress.

Fortunately, Gao Wushi felt it quickly, turned his head to look at the two of them in a little surprise, and said, "Why are you standing there, sit down and eat, as I said earlier, there is no such rule in the house." On the left and right sides of oneself: "Sit."

It should be said that Liu Xin has always maintained the independent personality of many women of later generations, but what she taught her "students" was obviously the same as Daming's, and the rules were very clear. on either side of him.

Liu Xin curled her lips and said sourly: "It's better to be a man."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "No matter what era you are in, whether you are a man or a woman, it is good to be successful. If you fail, you will not be able to get better—especially for men."

"You want to sell your 'responsibility theory' again, but I'm not Huang Zhiting..." Liu Xin changed the subject, and suddenly said: "My brother is fighting in Bozhou, and you are not in the mansion. I missed a lot, now do you have any analysis that you can tell me?"

Gao Wushi asked in surprise, "Are you worried about him?"

Liu Xin said angrily, "He's my brother. I'm worried that he's so weird?"

"It's not that strange." Gao Wushi rubbed his chin and said, "I think you should have enough confidence in him. Even playing Bozhou can make you worry about him?"

Liu Xin rolled his eyes at him, and snorted softly: "Yo, you make it sound like Yang Yinglong is like a dead bone in a tomb. When my brother passes by, he will be captured sooner or later? Why didn't I know that Liu Jiajun is so powerful? "

She snapped her fingers and said, "Yang Yinglong has [-] veteran soldiers, plus the newly recruited soldiers, it is more than [-], and the Liu family's army is only a few, less than [-]! Tell me, why am I not worried?" ?”

"The direct lineage belongs to the direct lineage, and he didn't just take the direct lineage with him this time." Gao Wushi smiled and said: "The total number of armies is 24, and nearly half of them are under his direct command."

"If I didn't know that you know enough about the situation of the guards in the southern provinces, I would have thought you were the kind of nerd who worked directly from the Imperial Academy to join the cabinet." Liu Xin curled her lips and said: " No matter how many troops my brother brings, when it comes to a critical battle, we still have to rely on the direct descendants of the Liu family army."

"It's true to say that, but this time, as long as he can hold his breath and don't fight rashly, then the victory of this battle is really just a matter of time." Gao Wushi put on his expression again. With standard gentleness, he replied with a smile.

"Although you said it very easily, but you added a precondition, then can I understand it in the opposite way: Do you think my brother may be reckless and lose the battle because of his impatience?"

Gao Pragmatic's smile couldn't hold back a little bit, and he said with a wry smile: "If you insist on understanding this way, then no matter who directs any war, it is possible to lose the battle because of it—your brother may, so may I, or even me This time the troops were dispatched because the plan at the beginning was too greedy for perfection, and there was an accident halfway through."

When he said this, Liu Xin also felt that her question was a bit deliberate, so she thought for a while and said, "That's right, but I don't think your comparison is appropriate. The battle of the Northern Expedition to Remnant Yuan is the final result of the battle. The previous expectations are different, but in essence, you don’t have the possibility of losing, it’s just a matter of how much you win—for example, what you want is [-]% at the beginning, but you may only get [-]% or [-]% in the end.

My brother's battle is nothing compared to yours. His previous two raids were all defeats. Although the root cause of the loss was that he underestimated Yang Yinglong's strength, and the officers and troops sent too few troops. It shows that the first thing to consider in the Battle of Bozhou is the victory or defeat, not the percentage of victory - the official army can only win [-]% in this battle, because the official army is facing the domestic chieftain, and they must win all of them if they want to win Next, if the opponent runs away, no matter where he goes, it will still be in the country, it means that the battle is not over, and it is impossible for the teacher to return victorious. "

Gao Wushi was too lazy to entangle with her, and said helplessly: "Anyway, you don't have to worry too much about him being defeated. I discussed the battle between him and Yang Yinglong this afternoon with the emperor. The superiority of the officers and soldiers is great. In addition to the advantages in terms of equipment, materials, etc., I have also proposed some political measures to cooperate with military operations, and strive to attack in an all-round way, and fight a war that can be called an all-round war in this era."

After speaking, Gao Wushi introduced some things about Bozhou that he had discussed with the emperor in the afternoon. Liu Xin felt relieved after hearing this, and clapped her hands: "Well, seeing how confident you are, I believe you " Then he turned his beautiful eyes, looked at Narita Jiafei who was beside Gao Yushi, and said with a smile: "Ah, the third lady is waiting impatiently, I was the one who was abrupt, what does the third lady want to say to Lord Hou?"

In fact, it was very paradoxical when she said these words, as if there was a sense of identity reversal, but in Gao Yushi's mansion, everyone was used to this kind of situation-although Secretary-General Liu was theoretically only the master's chief of staff, But the close relationship between her and the master made the two wives feel ashamed.

You see, Mrs. Ru also acquiesced to this situation, so when Liu Xin said this, Narita Kai even took the initiative to thank him, and then said timidly: "Master, can I ask?"

Gao Yushi feels that Narita Kai's attitude may not be entirely from her heart.Although this Japanese "No. [-] beauty in the Eastern Kingdom" looks delicate and pleasant, just from the surface, she looks completely delicate and weak.However, you must know that he has a record of leading hundreds of warriors to hold on to the Forbearance City, and he is the warrior Ji who has really entered the history books.

At this time, she put on an appearance as weak as a delicate flower. In addition to being influenced by the Chinese and Japanese culture, it is probably a tactic, a tactic to arouse men's desire to protect.

Uh, but... the tactic worked.

Although Gao Wushi could see through it, he still laughed and said, "Ask whatever you want."

"Thank you, sir." Although he has been in Daming for a while, Narita Kai still bows respectfully before asking with his head bowed: "The Toyotomi clan started the war with Daming, and it is said that the Tokugawa clan was also ordered to join the war. , I am worried that they will do something about the Kanto Fleet.

And this move is probably not only aimed at the Kanto Fleet, but Narita's Tamawa Castle, as the northern outpost of Misaki Castle, will inevitably be in danger.Master, you know that the power of the Narita clan has always been weak.Even after the Battle of Ninja Castle, the transfer of jade ropes, and the assistance of the Maritime Trade Alliance to expand the size of the samurai, as far as I know, there are only about 3000 samurai in the Narita clan. The important Jade Rope City..."

The importance of Tamawa Castle has been mentioned above. Simply put, the city is located north of the famous Kamakura and northwest of Ofuna Subway Station on the Japanese JR Line in later generations.As the hub connecting Edo in the northeast and Odawara in the west, Tamawawa Castle has an important position in the entire Kanto.

For the Sea Trade Alliance, it is not only the frontier onshore stronghold to defend Misaki City, but also an inevitable important stronghold once the Sea Trade Alliance decides to attack on land: Odawara Castle can be attacked to the west, and Edo can be attacked to the east—that is, Future Tokyo.So from this perspective, it can be seen that unless Gao Yushi intends to give up his stronghold in Kanto, Yusheng City must stick to it to the end.

Standing to the end sounds heroic, but the real battlefield is not just the majesty of the gold and iron horses in the history books, but also the blood dripping, the broken arms and limbs, and the countless lives that have been wiped out.Especially the issue of power balance mentioned by Narita Kai at this time, it seems that Yusheng City was shrouded in a thick layer of blood mist in advance.

The Narita Clan in Yusheng City has only 3000 warriors, many of whom were probably selected from the peasants and soldiers who performed better during the Battle of Ninja Castle, which resulted in the pitifully small number of peasants and soldiers left. , so to a certain extent, there may really be only these [-] people who can fight in Yusheng City.

What kind of enemy are they facing?To put it simply, there is Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the west, and Tokugawa Ieyasu in the east-Tamomawa Castle is almost sandwiched between the two forces.

Of course, since Odawara Castle in the west was nominally allocated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, from the perspective of actual borders, Tamawara Castle was only surrounded by Tokugawa Ieyasu's power.However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi will obviously not forget the threat of Tamawa Castle and the Misaki Castle behind it. Apart from the very possibility that he will let Tokugawa Ieyasu do it, he may not personally intervene at some point.

Even if only Tokugawa Ieyasu is mentioned, his strength should not be underestimated.Although on the surface, Tokugawa Ieyasu only has [-] soldiers, but the "Samurai of Mikawa" in this era is well-known.

Not to mention anything else, just that Tokugawa Ieyasu had the upper hand over Toyotomi Hideyoshi militarily in the Battle of Komaki Nagakute with such strength (roughly 3 Tokugawa Ieyasu VS Toyotomi Hideyoshi 12). Knowing how powerful the Mikawa samurai are under the command system of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the "Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings"-at least in Japan, it must be first-class.

Before the Battle of Ninja Castle, the Narita Clan had almost no martial names worth mentioning, and the one who had a martial name in the Battle of Ninja Castle happened to be married to Daming. Undefended, at least in the eyes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, it is mostly just a dish.

Of course, Narita Jiafei is very aware of the strength of her natal family. Recently, she has always been worried about the safety of Tamamae Castle, and even worried whether the Narita clan will be exterminated because of this—although it is not common in Japan to be directly killed to the point of extermination, but this time the situation is different. The Narita clan Now it is not a Japanese civil war, they are on the side of Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to being hostile to the whole of Japan.

Under such circumstances, the dignity of family status and family name may not be able to save the Narita clan. The only way for the Narita clan to survive is to either jump off the boat and hug Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thigh, or stand firm. On the side of Ming Dynasty, relying on the help of the Maritime Trade Alliance to resist Toyotomi and Tokugawa!
The former seems to be easy to handle, but firstly, the Narita family already knows the strength of the Maritime Trade Alliance, and secondly, Narita Kai has already married into the Gao family, so it is impossible to escape from the Great Ming capital and return to Japan, so in this case, Narita If Shi jumped back, Narita Kai asked himself and had no choice but to die and apologize.

Of course, Narita Jiafei is not the governor of the Narita family, and she has the final say on how to make the decision of Yusheng City. Even if the Narita family really reverses, only Gao Pragmatic has the final say on whether she deserves to die or not.However, from her point of view, she obviously does not want to see Narita's rebound, which is equivalent to completely betraying her-even though this situation was actually very common in Japan during the Warring States Period.

In order to ensure that the Narita Clan will not jump back, Narita Kai proposed to Gao Yushi: Misaki Castle should give enough support to Tamanawa Castle as soon as possible, and even to ensure that there is nothing wrong with it, it must send a strong force to directly station in Tamawa Castle, or even take over Jade Rope City!
It is worthy of being the first hero of the Battle of Ninja Castle.Narita Kai’s suggestion made Gao Yushi even more sure. Beneath her delicate and delicate face was a warrior-like strong heart. As long as she was willing to delegate power to her, she would definitely have her own ideas.

However, regarding the issue of taking over the city defense of Yusheng City, Gao Wushi had more to worry about than Jia Feiji. He asked, "Have you ever considered how your father will feel if you do this?"

Unexpectedly, Narita Kai said decisively: "At this time, what we need to pay attention to is not what my father thinks, but how to defend Yusheng City." Perhaps she herself found that this was too strong, so she quickly added: "Yusheng If the city can be defended, it doesn't matter what my father thinks; if Yusheng City can't be defended, it doesn't matter what my father thinks."

Guys, you might as well not add.

Gao Wushi thought so, this is really the water thrown by a married daughter, fortunately I am not your father.

Facing Gao Pragmatic's murmur, Narita Kai became a little worried, and secretly glanced at Liu Xin.The relationship between her and Liu Xin seems to be quite good. After receiving her gaze, the latter thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, I think what the third lady said makes sense. After all, the Narita family joined soon, and they didn't directly Having seen how powerful our army is, once deceived by others, it is inevitable that we may make a misjudgment. At this time, our army stationed in Yusheng City and took over the city defense will help strengthen its determination."

Gao Wushi sighed, and said: "I understand the truth, but there are only two generals in Sanqi City, one sea and one land. If Gao Yunping is sent to Yusheng City, what will happen to the defense of Sanqi City? Luo Yuan is at sea He is a good player, but he may not be able to command and defend the city."

This is indeed a problem, Liu Xin pondered for a while, and then said: "If it's not possible, let's transfer a general Lu from China."

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and was about to nod, but happened to find that Narita Kai hesitated to speak.His heart moved, and he deliberately continued to act hesitantly, looking at what Narita Kai wanted to say, who knew that Narita Kai hesitated for a while and fell silent, as if he had given up on the thoughts in his heart.

Gao Wushi then asked: "Jia Feiji, you seem to have something to say?"

"Ah, concubine... concubine..." Narita Jiafei suddenly stuttered, and finally shook his head: "No more."

Gao Wushi suddenly understood, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you want to command the battle of Yusheng City?"

Although the rest of the writing was smooth, I saw that the time was 1:30 in the morning... Sorry, fellow readers.
