In war, logistics is all about fighting.
This time Shiga Icun sent out troops, bringing with her the elites of the Sanuki Kingdom who had fought in both the south and the north.
There are twelve reserve teams, seven hundred Hime warriors and two thousand Ashigaru.
These people are not the Iga clan, the Zaga clan, or the Yamato clan under Yoshigage. They are the standing elites of the regular samurai families.
Hime Samurai is a battlefield elite with at least 30 titles and salary, and Ashigaru is a battlefield veteran who has experienced many experiences.
On the Yiyin side, excluding the 600 miscellaneous people who returned to Kii, there were also 2,000 Ji samurai and 2,800 ashigaru.
Although it seems that there are many more Hime Samurai warriors, including the old, weak, sick and disabled, and their whole families, they may not be able to defeat them, and the Ashigaru are not on the same level.
The military strength is barely evenly matched, but Yiyin knows that it is still weak, so it must lead Shihe Yicun to take the initiative to attack.
Defense is always easier than offense.
There are 3,200 people in the army in Shihe. Ten people consume two dan of food per month, which is 640 dan.
This was daily rations, doubled as was customary in wartime. Otherwise, there is insufficient strength and it is easy to die suddenly. That's one thousand two hundred and eighty dan per month.
Grain and grass must be transported by sea, land, and over the mountains into the Nara Basin. Shipwrecks along the way, dampness, mold, falling, corruption, at least double the loss.
It would take three times as much food to reach the front line as twice the amount, which is 3,840 shi.
This is a month's rations for the army to support fighting abroad, not counting other armaments, horse feed and other supplies.
This was the result of joining forces with the Kii people and mobilizing the Kii peasant soldiers. Otherwise, the food consumption will be at least five to ten times.
Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "If you eat the enemy for one minute, you will take twenty for me." It's really not a joke.
The height of Sanuki's stone is 120,000 koku. According to the daily food tax customs for the four public and six citizens, the country can only get 48,000 koku in a year.
You also need to bear the losses and expenses that lords at all levels turn over progressively, each family's own retention, and the salary of the noble warriors. The food and grass that can be saved in a year will not exceed 10%, which is 4,800 shi.
Therefore, Sanuki Country's accumulation of frugality for a year can only allow Tokawa Ichisumi to go abroad for more than a month. This is still an ideal situation without any logistical problems.
If the Miyoshi family hadn't controlled maritime trade in the Seto Inland Sea and commercial taxes at Sakai Port, their family wouldn't have been able to support this war if they were drained.
The logistics line was long, and Yiyin judged that the rations stored in the Shihe Yicun Army would not exceed ten days.
If the quantity is too large, the fragile supply lines of feudal society will definitely be unable to supply.
Therefore, only Zahezhong returned to Kii Country. As soon as Shihe survives, she must defeat the Spall coalition forces within three days, otherwise she will collapse without a fight.
Not ten days, but three days. Because the army needs time to withdraw to Kii Country and reach the Neraizu's sphere of influence.
People will die if they don't eat.
No matter how well-disciplined the army is, they cannot withstand the ravages of hunger, unless there is an organization that gives them beliefs and ideals that are more important than life.
If Shihe Yisun couldn't do it, then she had no choice but to make a desperate move. Sibo Yiyin was ready to wait here, waiting to defend and attack.
Tokawa Icun was waiting for news from the north, waiting for Tsutsui Shunkei to go into battle, but in the end, Miyoshi Nagakei's almost bragging battle report came.
She frowned, disapproving.
The victory of Sanhao Changqing was to fight stupidly and destroy supplies.
This time, he was able to successfully force Ashikaga Yoshiki back to the border of the mountain city, relying on his tacit cooperation with his third sister, Fuyayasu Anzai.
It's also because Hatakeyama Gaozheng is too unpopular and can't control his retainers, so it has nothing to do with the eldest sister.
But if the house governor wants to show off his achievements, the younger sister should be responsible for applauding.
I was still thinking about how to say something nice to make my eldest sister happy, and then attack Kyoto to embarrass her.
The bad news came that was a slap in the face.
In the shogunate, thirty heads were placed neatly, and one was held in Shihe Yisun's arms, not caring about the blood on it.
There were no tears in Shihe Yicun's eyes, but his increasingly red pupils made his subordinate Ji Samurai shudder.
"What the hell is going on in the north!"
Looking at Ji Ji, who was in charge of military affairs, his murderous intent was revealed.
The man couldn't help but tremble, knelt down and kowtowed, and said.
"About ten days ago, Yoshigan Shiba, the legitimate son of the Shogunate Shiba clan, led the Iga clan into Yamato.
First, he expelled the Zaga people who were ravaging the Nara Basin, and then met with the Buddhist master of Kofukuji Temple.
Later, the Zaga Party headquarters was defeated in the north and Suzuki Shigehide was captured. . Master Miyoshi was captured. . surrender. .
Then. . Then. . "
Shihe Yicun had no expression on his face, he went up and kicked her over.
"Pull it down and show the owl's head to the public. The Iga people entered Yamato for ten days! I didn't know about it for ten days! You deserve to die!"
The man screamed that he was wronged and was pulled down from left to right.
She was indeed unjustly accused. What the Iga people were doing was intelligence trading, and Shihe Icun's army had no sense of precaution. It was not that they were kept in the dark, and the head of the family governor's only daughter was waiting for him.
Shihe Yicun was filled with regret.
The Sanhao family was the enemy of the Wu family externally, and its reputation was completely ruined. Internally, the only daughter died in infancy. If there was a fight for the right to inherit the family, she would be the culprit for the decline of the Sanhao family.
What's more, the master of Kofuku Temple explicitly issued a decree and designated Sanhao Changqing as the enemy of Buddha. .
Something's wrong, something's wrong! Shihe Yicun noticed a sense of dissonance.
"Bring her back to me."
Warrior Ji was pulled back with lingering fear, kowtowed and waited for Shihe Yicun to ask questions.
"The decree of the Master of Xingfu Temple is to bring enlightenment to the world? Are they both decrees?"
"Back to your highness, it's all."
Shihe Yicun fell into deep thought and waved her aside.
She is not a murderer, but she is angry in her heart. The existence of Mihaoshi Yixing is so important to the stability of the Mihaoshi family.
The three good sisters each have their own territory, and they unite around the three good family members. If there is no problem with this structure, it can last for two generations.
Because within the second generation, all families are friendly, closely related, and have strong blood ties. After the third generation, it depends on the methods of the main family and the branch families.
But Miyoshi Yoshihiro's death caused big trouble.
Mihao Changqing is not young, so it is difficult for him to have any descendants. Moreover, people in this era do not live long. Even if there are new descendants, they will be young when they succeed to the throne. Will anyone have other ideas?
It turned out that Miyoshi Yoshihiro's intelligence and age were enough to connect the past and the following, allowing each family to serve the Miyoshi clan with peace of mind and unite together.
Now that she dies, there will be trouble in the family. Moreover, her death was because she changed Miyoshi Changqing's strategy and asked her to go to the north of Yamato alone. How can this be explained clearly?
The harmony in the family collapsed because of his own mistakes. How could Shihe Yicun not be so anxious and furious?
She couldn't care about this for the time being. The question now was what to do next.
Why did the Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple issue a decree? The second path is nothing more than the enemy of the Buddha. The first path has no reason.
Unless, Tsutsui Junkei didn't listen to the greeting, so the master had no choice but to tell the news directly to the lower nun Wu family without skipping her!
Shihe Yicun burst into tears immediately.
Niece, it's my fault. I misjudged Tsutsui Junkei, I misjudged Iga Zhong, it was me who harmed you.
"Call Suzuki Shigehide's messenger in."
The messengers of Zahe came in and knelt on the ground, holding a letter of Spo Yiyin to Shihe Yicun with their hands above their heads.
Shihe Yicun walked up behind her, pulled out his sword with lightning speed, and inserted it into her heart from his back. The force was so strong that he nailed her to the ground on the spot, and the letter was stained red and soaked in the blood.
After Shihe Yicun vented his anger, his eyes became clear and he said.
"Send someone to deliver a letter to Tsutsui Junkei and bring her the battle report sent by the eldest sister.
Tell her that I want to kill Shiba Yiyin. If she dares to send troops to attack me, I will abandon the Spat Allied Forces, return to the army and drag her into hell with me.
If she still has a bit of female ambition, let her figure it out.
As long as I kill Shiba Yiyin, I will retreat. This Yamato will still be her world. "
Toga knew immediately after Suzuki Shigehide's betrayal that the logistics were over.
Now she just wants to kill Shiba Yiyin to vent her anger, then go back and commit suicide, begging Miyoshi Changqing for forgiveness.
