Chapter 441
If Xiujia remembered correctly, I only told Xiuchang and Zhiyunyuan yesterday that Ju Ji was pregnant.
Ou~ By the way, there were several maids in the room at that time. Could it be that among the maids of Hideyoshi there was a female spy sent by Hideyoshi, who told Hideyoshi all the conversations he had with Hideyoshi.
At this time, Hideo never thought that Hideyoshi didn't know the situation through the female spy's report, and he really hid behind the door and listened to the conversation between him and Hideonaga.
Hideyoshi, who thought he had found a suitable explanation, couldn't help but sighed at Hideaga, but he didn't expect that Hideyoshi's intelligence network had penetrated into Hidenaga, but Hideyoshi didn't know it at all.
"Your Highness Okayama!" Hideka was thinking about Hideyoshi's secrets self-righteously, but when he heard someone calling him around, Hideka hurried back to the defense line of the voice, and it turned out that Maeda Toshiie was asking himself a question. .
Since he didn't hear what they were talking about just now, Xiujia asked innocently: "Ah, what's the matter with General Maeda?"
Hearing Hideo's answer, Maeda Toshiie exchanged glances with Hideyoshi and replied, "Just now His Highness Kanbaku asked you if you would like to lead an army alone to attack the Hojo Clan."
After hearing Maeda Toshiie's reminder, Hideka hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Hideyoshi, "The son is the sword of the father, and the father wants the son to fight, and he will go there. The son has led the army independently for the first time since Tianzheng ten years ago. In the beginning, it has been fighting on the battlefield for 7 years, and there is absolutely no problem in leading the army independently."
Hideyoshi received a satisfactory answer from Hideo, and then he looked at Kanbei Kuroda and said, "Then hand over the Northern Army to General Okayama."
"Northern Army?"
Before Xiujia could react, Ishida Mitsunari immediately ordered to Xiujia, "Okayama Temple should make preparations for the expedition immediately after returning. Arrived in Gifu in early November to stand by.
After waiting for the general order from His Royal Highness Kanbai to go out, he entered Shinano from Mino, and met Lieutenant General Takaoka (Maeda Toshiie), Lieutenant General Kasugayama (Kagekatsu Uesugi), Attendant Matsumoto (Hidetada Ogasawara), Sanada Izumori and many others The total strength of the adults is about 9, and it is said that 15 people are responsible for the invasion of Ueno, Shimono, Musashi and other places in Hojo. "
Kuroda Kanbei called the three people by the name of the city here, because the three people were all given the seedling character of Hashiba, so they must be called "Hashiba" on this occasion.
However, both Maeda Toshiie and Uesugi Kagekatsu are lieutenant generals, and it is easy to confuse them both with Hashiba, so they are called by the name of the city.
As soon as Kuroda Kanbei finished speaking, Hideyoshi continued, "After all, Okayama is too far away from the Kanto. General Okayama is allowed to recruit 250 men per [-] koku. Correspondingly, you need to contribute the Okayama navy to cooperate with Kuki Yoshitaka. Responsible for blocking the Kanto from the sea."
Hideka did some calculations, Kuroda Kanbei asked himself to recruit 350 people per 3.37 people with the standard military service status, and after Hideyoshi reduced or exempted himself, he only needed to mobilize about 1 people, which was a full reduction of 5 Ten thousand and [-], the logistical pressure on oneself will be much less.
So the Xiu family ordered next, "Ha Yi, my son knows."
However, Maeda Toshiie expressed concern about such a meeting, "Will the meeting with General Okayama's military service certificate make the strength of the Northland Army appear weaker? After all, the Northland Army needs to bear the vanguard responsibility."
Hideyoshi’s strategic plan is the same as that of Kyushu at the beginning, let the Northland Army attack first to attract the main force of Hojo, and attract as many main forces as possible to Ueno and Musashi North, and then the main force will start from Suruga to encircle Odawara. There will also be much less stress.
And Maeda Toshiie's concern is also very clear. The Northern Army needs to fire the first shot against Hojo, and it can even be said to undertake the most difficult task. After all, they are the most likely to fight Hojo outside the city.
The Southern Army led by Hideyoshi advanced along the Tokaido, and it was the territory of the friendly army until it left Suruga.After crossing the border, they will face Odawara Castle directly. With Hideyoshi's military strength, Hojo will definitely choose the cage city, and the risk is much smaller than that of Beiguo.
Facing Maeda Toshiie's inquiry, Hideyoshi turned his head to one side and thought for a moment and said to Hideyoshi, "At that time, I will transfer 1.5 people from the Central Army to you to make up for your lack of troops."
In fact, 7 people is definitely enough for the Hideo family. Hideyoshi's plan to divide his troops into two groups sounds lofty, but it is impossible to achieve his strategic goal in actual combat.
The reason is simple. The size of Hojo and Toyotomi has undergone a qualitative change. The change is so great that Toyotomi has crushed Hojo on paper data.
If Toyotomi is really moving and wants to fight Hojo, he will definitely choose the more convenient Tokaido to march instead of going over the mountains and mountains on the Zhongsendo.
If Hojo and his son are two idiots, or Toyotomi is about the same size as Takeda, then the strategy of marching from the Nakasendo may confuse Hojo, making them think that this is a local war around Ueno, and thus attract troops. war.
But when Toyotomi's size was large enough, it seemed very deliberate to choose to send troops from Zhongshan Road first, so in Xiujia's view, the feint attack of Xiujia's Northern Army was really just a feint.
Since it was a feint attack, 7 and 5 people are really about the same. Given the road conditions of the Zhongshan Road, it seems difficult to undertake an army of about 9, let alone double it.
Hideka, who thought of this question, also brought it up to Hideyoshi in the hall.
When Xiujia asked this question, Kuroda Kanbei also explained to Xiujia, "This time, the military rations of the Northern Army are mainly provided by Sanada, Ogasawara, and Uesugi. Just dry food."
Hideyoshi seems to be very satisfied with this arrangement of Kanbei Kuroda, but in the eyes of Hideyoshi, it is a fantasy.
Not to mention that Ogasawara + Sanada only have a total of 17 Shi Zhixing. Even after the autumn harvest, even the tax collected + food purchased is only enough to feed 9 troops for one and a half months. This is not counting the loss of the road.
(1 people need about 200 shi per day)
As for Uesugi's supply of food, it is even more nonsense. They were going to mobilize 2 people to fight, and you still want them to pay for 9 people?
Based on the fact that the Battle of Odawara lasted for half a year in history, the remaining four and a half months required nearly 4 shi of grain!
It was transported from Echigo and Etsuchu to Ueno, and the loss was about 2%. The Uesugi family at least said that they had to prepare 30 shi of grain, which almost emptied Uesugi’s annual tax revenue.
Hideka didn't know that Hideyoshi and Kuroda Kanbei didn't figure it out clearly when discussing this matter, but if Hideka was Uesugi Kagekatsu, he would definitely supply this food at a discount.
In this way, the soldiers on the front line must not have enough to eat, and the soldiers will not have the strength to fight if they don't have enough to eat. So how can their own Northland Army complete the established tasks they originally planned?
Speechless, I still have to talk to Hideyoshi privately about this matter, and I can't expose him in public so that he can't get down from the stage.
Fortunately, the Hide family didn't hold back, and he already asked Osafune Sadakin to take charge of going to Kanto to collect summer grain and store it in Matsumoto Castle.If it doesn't work, use the food there, even if the Hideo family pays for your Hideyoshi to fight the war.
Hideyoshi was thinking about the issue of military rations, and Hideyoshi continued to issue orders to Maeda Toshiie and others on the stage, "A dog, then you will be Hachiro's deputy general. East, launched an offensive against Musashi.
I plan to hand over to Uesugi the part of Shimosashi in Hokuriku. Hachiro is in charge of going south on the middle road. After sweeping Musashi and the main house, I will come to Odawara and meet with me. "
Speaking of this, he pointed at the location of Odawara on the map with his fan and continued: "The core issue of this battle is here. Back then, Kenshin Uesugi, the governor of the Kanto, led 10 troops to besiege the city in January and couldn't break its structure. It can be seen that Odawara Castle is strong.
According to my prediction, the siege of Odawara Castle will take about 3 months. By then, you will need to spare no effort to fight to win Odawara. "
After understanding Hideyoshi's words that everyone should try their best to fight, everyone understood immediately, and expressed their loyalty to Hideyoshi after bowing down to him.
"Hachiro, I'll hand over the Northern Army to you. Except for the big plan I just made to divide the troops into the three armies, the specific details are up to you. Just send someone to the front of Odawara's formation when the time comes."
Hideyoshi found out that Hideyoshi really likes to divide his troops into multiple ways.
In fact, Hideyoshi's arrangement is not wrong for large corps operations. After all, it is difficult to solve the problems of water, food and hygiene when the corps gather together.
No matter in China or in the West, no army will be arranged with more than 1 people, and the maximum is no more than 2.
Even if the total number of troops exceeds 10, they will be split up and marched forward and backward or left and right separated by a few miles.Of course, there are reasons for command restrictions, and there are also safety considerations such as hygiene.
However, these troops divided into 10 people, among the total [-] corps, their goals are absolutely the same, to prevent them from being blocked and wiped out by the opponent.
But Hideyoshi is different. He has already divided the Northern Kingdom, the main force, and the navy into three legions. Now he has to divide the Northern Kingdom into three. The key distances are still far away, and different offensive targets are assigned. This is clearly the case. Divide the strength of the Northland Legion again.
If the Hide family is the Hojo clan, they will leave a mobile force of about 2 people in Musashi. After seeing the Hide family's division of troops, they will first eat the farthest Uesugi, and then follow the Uesugi's Northern Corps Attack the upper field, cut off the rear of the entire Northern Army, and intercept their food roads.
The effect of doing so would be to transfer the food pressure of the 10 people in the Northern Kingdom to the main force. Hideyoshi's previous military rations must be insufficient. Once Hideyoshi retreats, half of Hojo's dilemma will be solved.
This time, Hideyoshi came here with all the soldiers of the whole country, and what he was fighting was a face-to-face battle. If Hideyoshi was defeated and retreated, then his prestige would be dealt a huge blow, and it was even possible to shake the many famous names who had subdued Hideyoshi before, and Toyotomi's general situation Falling apart by the way.
Take Hideyoshi as an example, Hideyoshi is indeed kind to Hideyoshi, but after being tortured by Hideyoshi in the past few years, who will believe it if he doesn't have the energy to say it?
If Hideyoshi really made a big somersault in Hojo, as long as Tokugawa and Uesugi make moves, or if the chaos in Kyushu resumes, Hideyoshi will definitely fight back.
Thinking of the Xiu family here, I couldn't help but touch the artificial limb of my right little finger. Two years ago, he was still growing there.
Different from the more gloomy mood on Hideo's side, Hideyoshi still gave this speech generously on the stage, "Showji, I decided to lead you as the general of the navy, responsible for leading the world's navy and its 6 affiliated daimyos. The mopping up of Sagami, southern Musashi, and Sobo.”
Speaking of this, Hideyoshi paused for a while, and expressed relief to Hideji, "Last time you listened to other people's slander in Kyushu and caused problems. I hope you can learn a lesson this time. I will send you the officers and soldiers. You want to Listen to his opinions more, at this stage you still focus on learning."
Toyotomi Hideji was very excited when he heard that he was able to fight again as a general. He immediately bowed to Hideyoshi and said loudly, "My son will never let down my uncle's respect. I will definitely wipe out the Xiaoxiao in Kanto for my uncle!"
The meeting has basically ended so far. Hideyoshi's purpose of holding the meeting at this time is to set the general direction and consult the opinions of the biggest names in the field.
As long as Xiang Xiujia, Mori, Tokugawa, Uesugi, Maeda and other daimyo supported him in launching troops against Hojo, he had already won half of the battle, and making military arrangements was only incidental.
Hideyoshi's military deployment throughout the whole process had nothing to do with Mori Terumoto at all. It was not until the end of the meeting that he said to Mori Terumoto, "Counselor Hashiba (Mouri Terumoto) mobilize 2 people to act with our Chinese army."
After getting a positive answer from Mori Terumoto, Hideyoshi looked at Asano Nagamasa and Ishida Mitsunari and said, "In early November, I will see a total of no less than 30 shi of military rations in the three warehouses of Kyoto, Qingzhou, and Junfu. I leave things to you to handle without any mistakes.”
After explaining the matter, Hideyoshi got up and left amidst the salutes of the crowd.
After Hideyoshi left, Asano Nagamasa took a deep breath and sighed, "There are still 5 months to go, and it is not an easy task to raise 30 shi for military rations."
Maeda Toshiie looked at Asano Nagamasa, made some calculations and said to him: "The three warehouses mentioned by His Highness Kanbai must be the Suruga warehouse that is the most full. After removing the loss on the road, you may need to prepare no less than 45 shi It seems that you are the one with the greatest responsibility among us.”
"45 shi? This is our Maori's harvest for one year!" Terumoto Mori exclaimed after hearing this number, looked at Kanbei Kuroda and asked, "How many people does His Highness Kanbai plan to gather in the main force?"
Kanbei Kuroda sorted out the map that had just been explained to Hideyoshi and the chess pieces that showed the forces of both sides. He shook his head at Mori Terumoto and said, "Hashiba Councilor will do some calculations soon, will you know? 50 stones for 3~4 pieces month, no less than 15 people!
Including the Northland army, this is an army of 25!There has never been such a huge army in the whole world, His Highness Guan Bai is bound to eat Hojo this time. "
Hearing the thoroughness of the officers and soldiers of Kuroda, everyone expressed their admiration, "My God, there has never been such a huge army in the world!"
Only Hideka asked Kuroda Guanbingwei, "I told you that you can calculate the military rations so clearly. How can the military rations of our Northern Army be considered poor? Only relying on the capabilities of Ogasawara, Sanada, and Uesugi, it is impossible to supply 9 yuan." Human food."
Facing Xiujia's inquiry, Kuroda Kanbei put on a strange expression and looked at Xiujia and asked, "How can there be insufficient military rations? Uesugi + Ogasawara + Sanada have nearly a million stone collars, how could they not come up with 20 yuan?" Wanshi military rations?"
After his reminder, the Xiu family realized that they had planned their military rations according to the three-month quick battle, and at most they would spend another month. They did not prepare for the siege battle in the first half of history. This may be the reason why food prices soared across the country after the Battle of Odawara.
But the Xiu family had to prepare for the worst, and at this moment the Xiu family knew that they were going to relocate the Kanto region, so they could not only prepare military rations, but also prepare the grain for the next autumn harvest after the reconferment and the seeds for planting in the spring.
Even the Xiu family needed to prepare some surplus food for the lords and people of the Kanto. After all, in the history of Odawara, the Kanto was looted several times by the Toyotomi clan and its daimyo's allied forces.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu transferred the seal of Kanto, what was thrown to Tokugawa Ieyasu was actually a mess, and tens of thousands of people starved to death in the first year alone.
If Xiujia wants to stabilize Kanto within ten years and make it a force that can work for him, he must do this question well.If the question is done properly, it is very likely to turn the crisis into motivation, and make the Kanto warriors and the people grateful to themselves.

They did not prepare for the siege battle in the first half of history. This may be the reason why food prices soared across the country after the Battle of Odawara.
But the Xiu family had to prepare for the worst, and at this moment the Xiu family knew that they were going to relocate the Kanto region, so they could not only prepare military rations, but also prepare the grain for the next autumn harvest after the reconferment and the seeds for planting in the spring.
Even the Xiu family needed to prepare some surplus food for the lords and people of the Kanto. After all, in the history of Odawara, the Kanto was looted several times by the Toyotomi clan and its daimyo's allied forces.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu transferred the seal of Kanto, what was thrown to Tokugawa Ieyasu was actually a mess, and tens of thousands of people starved to death in the first year alone.
If Xiujia wants to stabilize Kanto within ten years and make it a force that can work for him, he must do this question well.If the question is done properly, it is very likely to turn the crisis into motivation, and make the Kanto warriors and the people grateful to themselves.
