Harima Country is located at the eastern end of Sanyo Road in East Japan, with Settsu Country and Tamba Country on the right, Bizen Country and Misaka Country on the left, Tajima Country and Inaba Country above the head, and Shikoku across the sea to the south.

The territory has the famous Harima Plain, which is extremely fertile under the erosion of the three rivers of Kakogawa, Ichikawa and Kibogawa. It has been a famous granary since ancient times.The fishing industry near the Akashi Strait is also very developed, and the production is extremely rich.

The East Japanese Allied Forces assembled from Kyushu, Sanyo and Sanin/do gathered under the banner of Ouchi Yoshito, and they were originally preparing to start a new war against the shogunate.As a result, because the Ming Dynasty asked Japan to cede Kyushu and Shikoku as a clause of compensation, they were abruptly pushed to the united front of the shogunate.

Because of this incident, Ouchi Yoshitaka had been sulking for a long time - he had prepared everything but did not expect that such an embarrassing fact would eventually occur.If Kyushu is ceded, what will the princes of Kyushu do?

In order to ensure the ownership of his own territory, Yoshino Ouchi had no choice but to lead the East Japan Allied Forces to support Ashikaga Yoshichi after the shogunate declared war on the Ming Dynasty, and led the army to come quickly under the order of the shogunate.Plane Travel Guide 1492

After continuous tense marches, they finally arrived at Miki Castle in Harima on the evening of June 30, 21.

At this time, the guardian of the Harima Kingdom was Akamatsu Mochisada, who was known for his proficiency in Sinology and was a well-known master of etiquette.Every time East Japan mentions this person, it will always be praised as a "celebrity celebrity".

The relationship between the Akamatsu family and the shogunate is very average, not good, but not bad either, and they are always in balance in all aspects.There have never been any external mediation tasks between the parties, and Akamatsu Mochisada will always be invited to do mediation efforts.

Even Ouchi Yoshicong, who was rebellious, admired Akamatsu Mochisada, and often praised him as the master of Japanese etiquette.Even if he passed Miki Castle on the way to rescue the shogunate army, he made a special trip to visit after camping.

Even if one wants to establish a kingdom of gods on earth in the future, heroes like Akamatsu Mosada will inevitably be mixed in.If you can get the support of the other party, it must be able to affect the attitude of a large number of people.

"Hahaha, Chisong-sama is indeed huge, and Yicong admires it! Come on, please drink this cup to the brim, it will be regarded as Yicong asking Chisong-sama for advice! Hahaha..."

"Don't you dare, chastity is just to strengthen your spirit. When it comes to drinking capacity, how can you be the opponent of Lord Yicong? No, I really can't drink any more. If you drink this cup again, you will definitely be disrespectful in front of adults. .”

As the guardian of Harima, how could he not treat Ouchi Yoshioka with care when he saw him who came to visit?What's more, the Akamatsu family also sent troops to participate in it, which has increased the number of East Japanese coalition forces to 11.

The two parties were enjoying the wine in Sanmu City, and the atmosphere of drinking was enthusiastic.What's more, Akamatsu Mochisada not only entertained Ouchi Yicong and other princes, but also provided sufficient food and grass supply to the entire coalition army.The logistical support of the Akamatsu family has been so strong that everyone has been amazed. The Harima country is worthy of the reputation of being a granary!

They were courteously making a toast to each other, when they suddenly saw that Tao Qingxing, the chief of the family, seemed to have received some information, his face darkened suddenly, and then he waved away the ninja around him, and walked towards the guest of honor seat.

After bowing and saluting, Tao Qingxing carefully leaned down and whispered the latest information just received into Da Neiyi's ear.Several lively drinking daimyos around, including Akamatsu Mochisada, saw the face of Ouchi Yoshinaka gradually dimming.

What kind of information actually caused the current patriarch of the Ouchi family to have such strong emotions?Could it be that... A thought quickly rose in Akamatsu Mochisada's heart that he couldn't even believe, maybe this is the only possibility!

Just now when he raised his head angrily, he saw all the people around him staring at him, he smiled at himself, shook his head weakly and said: "Perhaps all of you are thinking about what news Mr. Qingxing brought me. right?"

"Yeah, the news that can make Yoshiko-sama lose his 'color', must be very important, right?"

"Did something wrong happen in the big camp? Could it be that some people got drunk and caused some riots?"

"Master Yoshitaka, tell us quickly, what happened?"

All the people who were drunk and fascinated just now came to their senses, and kept questioning Da Nei Yi Cong one after another.Most people put down their wine glasses and looked at him anxiously.

In the end, Chisong Mochizhen approached in a gentle and elegant manner, and said with concern without taking away any fireworks: "I'm sorry, if it's inconvenient for Mr. Yicong, it's okay not to say anything. No matter how difficult the problem is, Yicong won't let it go." The adults are in a hurry."

"Hehe, Master Chimatsu misunderstood." Ouchi Yoshino smiled wryly, and said softly: "Actually, I just wanted to ask Master Chimatsu for advice. There is nothing wrong with it. The news is related to us, but there is no direct connection." Plane Travel Guide 1492

Seeing that a few words have attracted everyone's attention, Ouchi Yoshicong did not show off, but sighed and said softly: "I think everyone knows that the general has already left the battle before our army arrived. I just received the final report. result."

"Oh? What's the matter? Yoshitaka-sama?" The West Japanese heroes led by the Shogunate Allied Forces were no weaker than the Eastern Japanese Allied Forces, and even surpassed the Eastern Japanese Allied Forces to some extent.

Such a powerful force, taking the initiative to attack and fight, the result will certainly not be too unexpected, right?I dare not say anything else, Ashikaga Yoshichi is indeed the capital of a generation of famous generals.What's more, with his stability, being the coach shouldn't produce any too bad war results, right?It is said that the Ming army has only a few thousand people, while the shogunate coalition forces have as many as 11 people.

"The general was defeated, and the defeat was terrible. It can be said that the entire army was destroyed. It is said that the casualties were extremely heavy. The general fled from the battlefield with only 16 banners. It is said that the rest were either killed or captured!"

"What?" After hearing the news, those who had expected the seriousness of the situation felt dizzy for a while: "How is this possible? The General brought all the daimyos and wealthy families of West Japan with him, and the total strength exceeded 10. Woolen cloth!"

"Kang Dang!" Even the wine cup in someone's hand fell to the ground in a daze, and there was a look of bewilderment in their eyes.

It is no wonder that these people are timid, they have no idea what it would be like to lose a battle with 10 people, not to mention that only a few thousand people from the Ming Dynasty defeated the shogunate coalition forces.

In the past, I heard such stories in the history books of China.At that time, people talked about the battles of Guandu, Chibi, Feishui, and Caishiji with great enthusiasm, and praised those who won more with less, but who thought about the mood of the losers?

He obviously had a very strong strategic advantage before the war, but he lost in a mess during the course of the war, completely subverting the normal view of war.It wasn't until it really fell on me that it made people shudder.

It's not that Japan has no examples of winning more with less, but there has never been a precedent of this scale at any time.In the history of Japan, there are very few wars similar to the deployment of troops, and every time it occurs, it means a decisive battle related to the fate of the country.

This kind of decisive battle with more than 10 people related to the fate of the country, the bitter taste after losing is enough to make everyone crazy.

"Thousands of people fought against an army of more than 16, but the result was that Your Excellency the General only took [-] banner warriors to save him?" Everyone who realized this fact could hardly express the absurd feeling in their hearts.

In the midst of the shock, only Akamatsu Mochisada was able to calm down a bit, and asked with a strong breath: "Master Yoshiko, the whole army of the shogunate has been wiped out. I don't know how the Ming army is injured?"

"The exact number of casualties is still unclear, but I heard that the enemy achieved the results of this battle with almost no injuries!" Ouchi Yoshino's face was full of indescribable sadness and bitterness, from a certain angle He said that these Ming troops were recruited by him.

Originally, he just wanted to find a strong enemy for the shogunate so that he could profit from it.Later, they were swept in, and they still thought about joining forces after defeating the Ming army. In any case, they never thought that the fighting power of the Ming army would be so strong.

Akamatsu Mochisada's originally calm voice was suddenly speechless after hearing the information on the battle damage of both sides, and his face paled instantly.This kind of combined battle with more than one victory overturned all his concepts.

"Oh my god...I'm afraid there is no other solution except for the general to surrender himself and kneel in front of the Ming army's national teacher to plead guilty! The Eastern Japanese allied forces can't beat us, and our Western Japanese allied forces are definitely no match! Japan is over! !"

"Master Chizhen, why do you say that Japan has no way to survive except for the general who surrenders himself and pleads guilty?"

"Since ancient times, China has been known as a state of etiquette, and the posture handed down from generation to generation is only 'ritual'! This time, the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to attack, how could they return empty-handed? If there is no result that satisfies the court and officials, it will definitely not Withdrew the troops. Japan was a small country with few people, so it was unable to deal with it. However, the former shogunate had offended the Ming Dynasty again, and it was impossible to come up with some practical content.

"What's more, this decisive battle ended in a disastrous defeat. I am afraid it will be difficult to keep the territories of Kyushu and Shikoku. After this battle, it will not be easy for Japan to find a suitable excuse for the truce. Even if we admit defeat now, Seeing the faces of others.

"Unless Mr. General reaps the consequences for himself, the Ming army will have no intention of destroying Japan. Use the most exquisite etiquette in China to block the Ming country's excuses for further pursuing more serious responsibilities.

"If this is not the case, I am afraid that after this battle, the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty will give birth to Japan, but it will be wiped out. Besides Kyushu and Shikoku, isn't the territory of Honshu larger?" Plane Travel Guide 1492

"Do you think...the Ming Kingdom wants to use this to annex the territory of the entire 66 countries in the Japanese archipelago?"

"If your lord general can't deny the other party's excuses, I'm afraid this will not be a guess, but a fact in the future!"

"Hiss...you can't?" Even with Ouchi Yoshitsuko's composure, he couldn't help feeling the toothache.
