- Edo
Historically, it was the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate.
Of course, that would only happen in another time and space.
However, in this time and space, Edo still became the place where the shogunate was established, but the owner was changed to the Ishida family.
As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, for some reasons, he has become a small splash in the long river of history.
But no matter what, the inertia of history is still very strong.
Tokugawa is gone, but after all, Ishida appears to make up for this lack.
??Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter who is the shogun.
Because whether it is Tokugawa or Ishida, they do the same thing.
Although there will be some deviations to some extent, these deviations will eventually be corrected by some invisible and intangible things, and then the wheels of history will slowly start to turn again.
Zhao Hongyu also feels that it is very mysterious to this kind of invisible and intangible thing.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu had already captured Osaka Castle, and the army was stationed in the city to begin defense.
They captured Osaka Castle, which caused quite a shock in Japan.
You must know that this is the first time in the history of Japan that foreigners have conquered their native city.
This incident happened during the period under the control of the Ishida shogunate. This completely disgraced the Ishida shogunate.
Therefore, when the battle report of Ishida Aido and Fuushi arrived in Edo, General Ishida Hiroshi immediately made reactions and arrangements.
He must also respond immediately and send an army to completely kill those foreigners and recapture Osaka Castle.
"Otherwise, the shogunate's face will be completely lost.
Although the Ishida Shogunate was established, privately there were still many feudal lords who were not convinced.
It¡¯s just that the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period have made people no longer want to continue fighting.
Furthermore, after Sekigahara failed in the battle against Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Ishida family suddenly became very powerful.
Under such a situation, some daimyo feudal lords had to surrender to the Ishida family.
But it is impossible to say that they have no resentment in their hearts.
"However, the common people are no longer willing to fight. They want a peaceful life. These people have to consider it.
Now, a group of foreigners suddenly appeared and wiped out the face of the shogunate.
The shogunate¡¯s face was not good-looking, but the daimyo and feudal lords were actually laughing hard in private.
They are the ones most willing to see the shogunate lose face.
Without him, they have resentment towards the shogunate in their hearts.
Therefore, they are happiest when the shogunate has no face.
But to be happy, there are still some things to do.
For example, if the shogunate mobilizes heavy troops to reinforce the crusade again, the lords and feudal lords who receive the order must obey it.
Everyone knows that Ishida Hiroshi is holding a breath in his heart. If he contradicts him at this time, then this guy will definitely go crazy and be punished.
Therefore, at this time, no one is willing to contradict Ishida Hiroshi.
But those who received the order basically set off with the army within two days.
They don¡¯t want to get into Ishida Hiroshi¡¯s bad luck at this time and let themselves suffer the same.
It is said that those foreigners are very powerful. In fact, except for those who have fought with Zhao Hongyu and others and know how powerful they are, the reinforcements basically do not think so.
After all, they only learned about the battle situation through battle reports, and had never actually fought against Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Therefore, many people believe that Ishida Aido and Feng Shi said this deliberately to shirk responsibility.
Because the more powerful the enemy is, the less responsible they will be for defeat.
Everyone knows this, and no one is a fool.
¡°However, even though we understand it, everyone still hasn¡¯t revealed it.
After all, it would be unwise to offend others on this matter.
¡°Besides, Feng Shi and Ishida Hiro have always been very good at doing things.
Except for the unlucky dead ghost Takahashi, the two of them are very popular.
So, in the end, everyone agreed with what was said in the battle report, and the responsibility for the defeat was placed on Takahashi, who had already burped.
"Who made Takahashi offend so many people? His enemies are almost everywhere.
If you don¡¯t add insult to injury at this time, how long will you wait?
Although Takahashi is dead, his family is still there.
In this way, although Takahashi is dead, the matter is not over yet.
His family suffered great misfortune and were demoted to civilians by the angry Ishida Hiro.
From a high-ranking wealthy family to becoming a commoner all of a sudden, this feeling between heaven and earth is not something that can be accepted in a short while.
However, now that the matter has come to this, what can the Takahashi family do?
Who allowed their family to have such a thing as Takahashi?
When Takahashi was alive, he offended so many people.
Now that he is dead and has shouldered such a heavy responsibility, it is simply impossible for the enemies of his past crimes not to take action.
The Takahashi family was destroyed.
However, even so, the anger in Ishida Hiroshi's heart did not disappear.
Originally, he wanted to punish Ishida Aido and Kazushi, but the battle report clearly stated that the two of them have been defeated and defeated each other with those foreigners.
And, not long ago, they invaded Osaka Castle and surrounded Osaka Castle.
Ishida Aido and Feng Shi are really putting gold on their faces.
Originally it was not the case at all, but when they said it, it seemed to become true.
"It was Zhao Hongyu and the others who conquered Osaka Castle, but they blamed it on the tactics and intrigue of the crusade.
But no matter what, those foreigners have indeed entered Osaka Castle and are in a desperate situation.
Now, as long as there are enough reinforcements, the complete annihilation of these foreigners will be a matter of time.
Therefore, no matter how angry Ishida Hiroshi is now, at least based on the battle report, the battle situation is very beneficial to the Japanese country.
At the same time, Ishida Aido and Kazuki and the others are really powerless to deal with the foreigners in Osaka Castle.
The battle report said that their infantry had been completely lost, and the rest were basically cavalry units.
It is impossible for cavalry troops to carry out siege battles, but it is okay to fight in the field.
At the same time, they are also very short of troops and lack siege equipment.
If it is impossible to meet these conditions, then it is impossible for them to completely annihilate those enemies.
The Japanese have studied the art of war from the Ming Dynasty, and even know Sun Tzu's art of war.
"The Art of War" says: "Besiege a city and fight it ten times."
This meaning is very clear and tells everyone that if it is a siege, the proportion of one's own side must be at least ten times that of the opponent's, because only in this way can the vitality be guaranteed.
It can be seen that the siege was very cruel.
No matter how uneducated Ishida Hiroshi is, he still knows this simple principle of the art of war.
Therefore, he could only send reinforcements to support the crusade, and he also brought a large number of siege equipment.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the enemy was completely eliminated in Osaka Castle this time, he also revealed the details of the main army stationed in Edo and transferred it to join the reinforcements.
It can be seen that for this time's reinforcement of troops, Ishida Hiroshi wanted to deal with Zhao Hongyu and the others at once.
Originally, there were 20,000 troops stationed in the Edo area, and these soldiers were very elite warriors.
This time, 13,000 people were drawn out at once.
Hiroshi Ishida put in a lot of effort.
Therefore, the number of reinforcements for the expeditionary army reached 32,000.
And there are more than 4,000 troops on the side of Ishida Hedao and Feng Shi.
As long as these reinforcements arrive and the two sides join together, the strength of the crusade army will almost reach 36,000 to 7,000.
"Compared to Zhao Hongyu's command, which currently has more than 3,000 troops, that is an absolutely absolute advantage.
At the same time, considering the fact that the enemy used a large number of "iron cannons" as stated in the battle report, this batch of reinforcements also mobilized 2,000 people from the elite "iron cannon" team of the Ishida family.
The two thousand-strong iron artillery team are basically elite soldiers who have learned the tactics of three-stage shooting and have seen blood on the battlefield.
In Ishida Hiroshi¡¯s view, with the addition of these iron cannons, the enemy¡¯s iron cannons can definitely be contained.
Even if you can't contain it, you can still confront it.
In this way, the enemyThere will be no use for the iron cannons.
I have to say that Ishida Hiroshi¡¯s idea is very good, but the reality is very cruel.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu and the others have certain advantages by relying on the walls of Osaka Castle.
In addition, their muskets are much more sophisticated than the Japanese muskets. Both the range and the lethality are much higher than the Japanese muskets.
Therefore, what Hiroshi Ishida thinks is very unrealistic.
¡°It¡¯s just that Ishida Hiroshi doesn¡¯t know anything about it yet.
In addition, Zhao Hongyu has mounted artillery on the walls of Osaka Castle in the past few days. The power of this thing is absolutely unparalleled in the city defense battle.
This is why Zhao Hongyu dared to enter Osaka Castle and relied on Osaka Castle to conduct a defensive war to attract the shogunate.
Of course, there are many factors involved, which I won¡¯t explain to outsiders.
Of the 20,000 elite members of the clan stationed in Edo, 13,000 were transferred.
So, that means that at this moment, the main clan stationed in the Edo area is wrong, and there are still 7,000 people left.
If it was the Warring States Period, this would still be very dangerous.
Fortunately, the Warring States Period has ended, and the Japanese Kingdom is no longer an era of war and chaos.
Therefore, the Edo area is still very safe.
Unless some people want to cause shock.
However, there are basically no such people.
Although they have resentment towards the Ishida shogunate, it is impossible for them to rebel.
With the general trend of people¡¯s minds, if they do this, they will really light up lanterns in the toilet They will die looking for shit. (To be continued.
