Chapter 1743: Coastal war breaks out
Chapter 1741: Coastal war breaks out
“Everyone, the Han Dynasty has nothing to say about coastal defense, but after we finish this task, the princes of the Han Dynasty will definitely pay attention to coastal defense, so there is only this opportunity.”
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes were full of wisdom, and he said to everyone in a deep voice: "This time, the Tokugawa family will send ten thousand troops."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. After all, under the oppression of Oda Nobunaga, the casualties of each family were very heavy.
To this day, while guarding against Oda Nobunaga, the Tokugawa family can still detach an army of 10,000 men, disguised as pirates, and go to the Central Plains to plunder. This shows how rich the Tokugawa family's heritage is!
After Takeda Shingen thought for a while, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said thoughtfully: "This opportunity is indeed rare, so our Takeda family decided to send eight thousand troops."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly nod. This is almost the limit of the Takeda family.
"In this case, I, Akechi, will send seven thousand troops." Akechi Mitsuhide said.
“The Maori family will send seven thousand troops,” Maori Yuan said.
“The Date family sent six thousand troops.” Date Masamune said.
“The Sanada family sent five thousand troops.” Sanada Nobushige said.
“The Hojo family sent five thousand troops.” Hojo Tsunari said.
After everyone had finished speaking, when only one Shangshanjianxin was left, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.
Seeing this, Shangshan Kanxin said calmly: "The Uesugi family sent seven thousand troops."
Everyone was stunned. Apparently, they didn't expect that the Shan family, which was not that powerful, would dare to send out so many troops. They were preparing to burn the boat.
"good."
Tokugawa Ieyasu shouted, attracting everyone's attention again, and said: "Our robbery of the Central Plains this time will definitely anger the Central Plains princes. In order to prevent the Central Plains princes from retaliating, we must unify under the banner of the Japanese Empire. At that time, the Lord of the Central Plains will only look for Oda Nobunaga."
"etc."
Before Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Takeda Shingen.
"Retaliation? The princes of the Central Plains have too much time to take care of themselves. How can they allocate their troops and cross the sea to attack us? Haha."
Takeda Shingen laughed with disdain.
"Yeah yeah…"
Some princes also laughed in agreement.
Seeing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu said angrily: "It's just a precaution, there's nothing wrong with being cautious."
“Haha, do you think that the Central Plains does not have the ability to attack Japan?”
Shangshan Jianxin sneered and said lightly: "Don't forget, our shipbuilding skills all come from the Central Plains.
You should know that whether the princes of the Central Plains will retaliate is one thing, but whether they can retaliate is another matter entirely. "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present fell silent. Kamishiro Kanenobu was right at all. When it comes to matters of wealth and life, there must be no carelessness. Therefore, no one opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu's proposal to use Oda Nobunaga's banner. .
At this point, the alliance of Japanese princes has completely finalized the strategy of dispatching troops. A total of 55,000 troops were dispatched, divided into eight groups, and plundered eight regions: Yangbei, Yangnan, Xuhuai, Qingnan, Qingbei, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Sanhan. .
The Han Dynasty does not yet have the concept of coastal defense. Although Zhu Tianpeng's naval army made a surprise attack on the North Sea and the battle with Zhou Yu at the mouth of the Yellow River was regarded as the Han Dynasty's first naval battle, it did not arouse the feudal lords of the Han Dynasty. Pay attention to coastal defense.
Not to mention other princes, even Qin Hao did not pay much attention to coastal defense. After all, few forces in the world dared to take the initiative to provoke him, and he did not expect Japanese pirates to dare to invade across the sea.
So, this time the Japanese pirates attacked, not only Qin Hao was caught off guard, but also all the princes near the sea were caught off guard.
The situation in the world at this time:
Most of Sun Jian's troops from the Wu State in Yangzhou were concentrated in Jingzhou, competing with Liu Xiu for Jiangxia.
Most of the troops of Xu Huai Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di were also concentrated in Xiaopei and Huaibei areas, confronting Cao Wei and Zhao Song respectively. Most of Liu Che's troops in the Northern Han Dynasty in Youzhou were also concentrated in Dai County to confront the Qin army.
On the Three Koreas side, Wang Mang destroyed several small countries before unifying the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This triggered a joint attack by the central and northern countries, and most of the troops were sent to the north.
So, except for the Qin army, the rear areas of all countries are extremely empty for the time being.
It is conceivable that once the Japanese pirates suddenly attack from behind, it will cause damage to various countries.

Japanese, Tokyo city.
“Report...to report to Your Majesty that Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Shingen, Kamishiro Kanenobu...and other princes have mobilized their troops frequently, and their intentions are unclear.”
Oda Nobunaga, who was dealing with official duties, suddenly raised his head after hearing this, frowned and said: "The last war ended only a few months ago. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The alliance of princes should not have recovered yet. Tokugawa Ieyasu was so quick. Do you just want to start a war?"
“Your Majesty, the troops mobilized by these princes did not come to Honshu Island, but to Kyushu Island.”
“Kyushu Island?”
Oda Nobunaga's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said with a puzzled look on his face: "It seems that this time we are not going to deal with my Oda family, but is there power in Kyushu Island worthy of so many princes joining forces?"
How could Oda Nobunaga have imagined that it was under his gradual persecution that the anxious alliance of princes decided to use his banner to plunder the Central Plains with the intention of recovering.
If he knew about it, Oda Nobunaga would definitely be so angry that he would scold his mother. After all, he didn’t carry such a **** basin.
“Where is Miyamoto Musashi?” Oda Nobunaga shouted.
“The subordinate is here.”
A swordsman emerged from the shadows and knelt down on one knee to respond. He was none other than Miyamoto Musashi, whose right hand was cut off by Wei Zhuang.
Because his friend Sasaki Kojiro died at the hands of Gai Nie, Miyamoto Musashi went to the Central Plains with the intention of challenging Gai Nie. However, his right arm was cut off by Gai Nie's junior brother Wei Zhuang, and he vowed not to set foot in the Central Plains to save his life.
Miyamoto Musashi lost his right hand to hold the sword, so he has been reduced to a useless person, but after all, he is a half-step grandmaster level master. Without his right hand, he practiced left-handed swordsmanship. After several years of hard training, he has regained his previous skills. Eighty percent combat power.
“The major families have mobilized troops to Kyushu Island with unknown intentions. I hope you will find out their true intentions.” Oda Nobunaga said.
"this…"
Miyamoto Musashi was obviously hesitant and said: "But Your Majesty, once your subordinates leave, if the Queen is unfavorable to Your Majesty, others may not be able to stop her."
The queen mentioned by Miyamoto Musashi is naturally the original Queen Yamatai, Himiko, who is also the prototype of Amaterasu in Japanese mythology.
After Oda Nobunaga was born, he was implanted with the identity of Himiko's husband. Later, after taking power and establishing a larger foundation, Oda Nobunaga usurped the throne and established the Toei Kingdom, so now the relationship between him and Himiko is somewhat nervous.
Hemihu is a very mysterious ancient female ruler and the originator of the ancient Japanese religion Ghost Taoism. She possesses the strength of the peak master level and is only a little short of reaching the half-step grand master realm.
Had Himiya not delegated power and concentrated on retreating to make breakthroughs, Oda Nobunaga would not have succeeded in usurping the throne.
After Himiko came out of seclusion, he found that Yamatai had been replaced by Japan, and even killing Oda Nobunaga could not change it.
After hearing what Miyamoto Musashi said, Oda Nobunaga smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, you go and find out first, the queen will not do anything bad to me."
“This…Hai.”
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was so confident, Miyamoto Musashi no longer persisted and directly accepted the order to leave for Kyushu Island.
When Miyamoto Musashi arrived at Kyushu Island, all the armies of the princes had already left by boat and went to various places in the Central Plains to plunder.
