Coincidentally, at the same time when the army was building siege weapons under the city, the Red Army was completely wiped out in Weiming Country.

After listening to the recapitulation of the remnants, Matsumoto Shigeku was stunned, took three steps back abruptly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Matsumoto!" The surrounding samurai immediately supported him, this is the last high-ranking general, he is about to fall, so he has no choice but to retreat.

At any rate, he is a veteran who has experienced the Sekigahara War, Matsumoto Shigeku quickly stabilized his figure, and roughly pushed left and right.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were a little blank at first but soon became vicious.

"Order! The whole army will go to the Longquan River to camp and report the situation to Edo. In addition..."

"Wipe out Mt. Kumgang and this castle town without leaving any traces behind!!"

.............

South of Weiming, Edo.

This is a newly emerging city. Counting from the eighth year of Qingchang, the city has been built for more than ten years, and now it is beginning to see its scale.

It is surrounded by water on three sides, and outside the moat is an increasingly chaotic castle town. In terms of the difficulty of attack and defense alone, Weiming Castle is far above it.And the inside of the moat is a huge city, and the castle tower still under construction is extremely towering.

There are two layers of city walls inside and outside, 20 hopeful buildings, 36 city gates, and palaces such as Honomaru, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and Nishinomaru. Warm relationship.

The same huge city is full of solemnity and hope, in stark contrast to Wei Ming's desperate survival. This is the heart of Japan and the seat of the shogun.

Surrounded by warriors and banners everywhere, it seems that if you walk in here, you will be suppressed by the power of that kind of power, and you will not even be able to speak.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes breaking the quiet morning of Edo, a war horse came from the north, and the red flag on its back indicated that it was an urgent military situation. This was the first time this had happened in several years. Open the door quickly, and then the samurai held the envelope high and galloped all the way in the city.

The horses didn't stop, and the others quickly gave way, and then went straight into the inner city from the Yingtian Gate, stopped in front of Yuhon Maru, half-kneeled on the ground, and raised their hands towards a general serving.

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation from Weiming country!"

"Wei Ming Country?" The samurai was stunned for a moment before he remembered what it was, but he also knew what an emergency military situation meant, so he quickly took it over to have a look.

The mere counting of ten had already caused his complexion to change drastically. He even forgot to call the orderly to stand up, and hurried to the palace, pulling a guard past him by the way.

"Quickly invite Master Xiuzhong!"

There was a little panic in the voice, and the guard also panicked, running a few steps and almost falling to the ground.

After more than ten years, another major event happened to the Tokugawa family!

PS: Well, I'll just say it's the old turtle's house, and Edo Castle's description is based on historical facts, and I checked a lot of information.

PS2: Well, it seems that I will count the votes for the sake of my conscience.

Chapter 120 Seventh Inner Palace General

The Omotomaruchi Bansho is already silent, the hut where the courtiers discuss things has just been built, and even the light on the paper door has a faint smell of dye. calmly.

There were more than a dozen people sitting kneeling in the room, most of them were wearing official uniforms. There were old men and middle-aged warriors. They were almost all high-ranking people in the inner palace. They passed notes to each other, and they frowned involuntarily after reading the contents.

The first person is about 40 years old, wearing a purple official uniform, with a samurai's unique monthly haircut, and his expressionless and dignified face. This is Xiuzhong, the second generation general of the inner government.

The general saw that the last person had also seen it, and asked in a deep voice: "Masters, the attack on Weiming's rebellion has failed. Matsumoto Shigeku led the army to retreat, and the Chibei team and Guying people were almost wiped out! It's really surprising. Well, a group of mountain people actually made the rich Neifu stumble."

His tone was self-deprecating, and the samurai below also showed anger. In terms of samurai's way, the lord's humiliation should be empathetic.

"Hidetada-sama, Matsumoto Shigekyu should apologize by harakiri!" An old official bowed his head immediately.

"The minister seconded the proposal, lost the friendly army, dared not attack Weiming City with an absolute superiority of troops, and let the red army be slaughtered by the mountain people in vain. This is a great crime."

There were shouts of killing, but Xiu Zhong frowned slightly.

During the Sekigahara War, he was held back by the Sanada family and missed the decisive battle. The experience of being almost killed by his father made him instinctively loathe seppuku, so he paused for a moment and replied in a slightly relaxed tone:

"Don't be nervous, Matsumoto Shigekyu is not easy to retain the main force, and he has already started to cage the city and fortify the wall to clear the field, so it can be regarded as making up for it."

Everyone could hear that the general didn't want to kill the strong man, he was just a general, and the elders didn't bother to make the general feel bad for it, so they all leaned down and said: "The kindness of the general will definitely make Matsumoto Shigeku Thank you Dade, and let the shame come to an end.”

As Xiuzhong said, with a nearly [-]-fold advantage in comprehensive national strength, the failure of Weiming City can only be regarded as a small setback. The main reason is that the loss of the red reserve team is too distressing, and it will not be able to make up for the loss for a long time.

What's more: You big brothers have an ugly face.

Wei Ming, who conquered political power as a citizen, was naturally hated by the big bosses and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

So when the general closed his mouth, a burly retainer immediately suggested: "Master Xiuzhong, send a large army to conquer, gather the strength of our family, and press down on that mountain city from east, west, and south, Wei Ming The country's rebellion is absolutely impossible to deal with."

"Then how much military power are you going to use?" The general was also moved.

The retainer stretched out five fingers and said: "[-], [-] will guarantee an absolute advantage, and if you bring Guobeng, you can take that mountain city with one move."

"My lord Zhongjun, if fifty thousand troops can be mobilized, the inner government will have calmed them down a long time ago. The current state of the world, not to mention fifty thousand troops, even one hundred thousand troops can go out. It's a pity that the mountain road is difficult to travel. We must ensure the safety of the fifty thousand troops. Logistics supply is very troublesome." A thin middle-aged man said quietly.

"Yes, the gain outweighs the loss, even scraping Wei Ming's dilapidated place can't make up for the supplies for the battle." Someone reconsidered.

As an old and important minister nicknamed "Yongzhi Zhongjun", Qingshan Zhongjun was furious, and slapped the ground and cursed: "Idiot! Can the majesty of the inner government be measured by philistine thinking? What if other vassals see it and start rebelling again?" ? The world will return to chaos!"

"How could the world be in chaos, now that the general trend of my inner palace has been established, and the genealogical daimyo occupies a quarter of Shigao, even if they want to rebel, they have no strength."

"But it can't be ignored!"

"When did I say to ignore it, it's just that there is no need to spend so much money."

"Capital? Idiot! Do you dare to say that this is not a philistine idea?"
