Chapter Twenty-Six: Fear of the Kuroda Family
It is also recorded in the "Dictionary of Family Names and Families" that in the 8th year of Eiroku (1565), when the Miyoshi family attacked the Nijo Imperial Palace, Adachi Yoshiteru was killed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Pregnant Adachi Yoshiki's side room Torimaru clan, escorted by his close ministers Kobayakawa Gaiki and Yoshikawa Sainomiya, sent to the wealthy clan of Sanuki Province, Yokoi Castle Lord Oike Mitsunaga to hide, and the one born after the Torimaru clan was the shogun's third son, Oike Yoshita. The young Yoshitatsu Oike became the adopted son of the Oike clan because the Oike clan survived. After that, Oike Yoshishin went out into the family of the Daimyo Shengshu clan of Sanki Province and obtained a fief of 2,000 koku.
In the seventh volume of the "Dictionary of the Names of the Retainers of the Three Hundred Clans", there is also a record that Yoshitatsu Oike came out of Hosokawa Tadashiri, the grandson of Hosokawa Fujitaka, after giving birth to the Koma family, and received a thousand-stone territory.
It was this clan of Oike Yoshichen that continued until the end of the Bakugawa era, and it was regarded as leaving a trace of blood for the general Adachi Yoshiteru, which was not completely severed.
After Yoneda Yumasa took a few of his subordinates and escorted Yoshiki Adachi's family away. Hosokawa Fujitaka, a close minister, walked over and said to Yoshiki Adachi: "Lord General, I take the liberty of asking, will I still break through in the direction of Omi Province this time?" ”
"Yes, what's the problem?" Yoshiki Adachi asked.
"I see that the Kuroda family has always been very respectful to the shogunate, and they continue to pay tribute every year, why didn't the shogun take me and others to break through in the direction of the Kuroda family in Harima Province?" Hosokawa asked.
"Break through to Harima Country?" Yoshiki Adachi touched the beard on his chin, squinted at Hosokawa Fujitaka, and didn't answer right away.
"Hey! Lord Shogun, compared to other famous families, the Kuroda family is at least respectful on the surface, and I heard that the Kuroda family has more than 25,000 standing guards, and their combat effectiveness is strong. In contrast, the Hexagonal Family, for the General, is a completely incompetent help, and it is not the opponent of the Miyoshi Family at all. So in the lower courage to think, the shogun should go to Harima country, the Kuroda family has dozens of wise and brave samurai, many wealthy families and people under his command, 20,000 elite soldiers, even if it is the Miyoshi family in the control of, if it really fights, it should not be the opponent of the Kuroda family! If we can rely on the Kuroda family, just like the ancestor relied on the Ouchi family back then, it is estimated that the Kuroda family can still achieve the feat of Shangluo of the Ouchi family back then! Hosokawa said.
"Hmmm! What you said is indeed good, the current Kuroda family is indeed strong, at least in the western country, there is no opponent. And on the surface, in the past few years, the Kuroda family has always been very respectful to my shogunate. But you must know that it is precisely because of the Kuroda family that we can't go to the Kuroda family! Yoshiki Adachi said.
"Why is that?" Regarding Adachi Yoshiki's statement, Hosokawa Fujitaka was very surprised!
The Kuroda family has strength and is very respectful, so why can't they go to the Kuroda family? If you go, wouldn't the goal of reviving the shogunate be more likely to be achieved?
"Because I feel that that Kuroda vocational high school is the eldest son of the Kuroda family who met me before, and it is said that he is the hope of the Kuroda family's rise. Although it seems respectful and even a little awe-inspiring on the surface, he is actually an ambitious person. Therefore, once we go to the Kuroda family and help the Kuroda family grow in momentum, and the Kuroda family rises through this, the Kirin who succeeds to the throne in the future will definitely not be satisfied with being a shogun. You know, the more forbearant people are, the more scary they feel! Yoshiki Adachi said as he looked in the direction of Harima, as if there was something terrible there, and even a swordsman like him needed to be afraid.
"This ...... Shogun-sama, the Kuroda family may ...... Is this, is this true? Hosokawa asked.
"Okay, now the situation is urgent, we have to escape from the siege of the Miyoshi family, not the time to say this. Hurry up and prepare to order everyone, open the door and break through. If we survive in the future, we'll talk about that. You go down first! Yoshiki Adachi said.
"Hey!" Hosokawa Fujitaka half-knelt before retreating to prepare for the raid.
"It's just that although the world is big, there may still be samurai loyal to the shogunate, but there should be no daimyo anymore who is still a loyal minister of the shogunate!" Yoshiki Adachi looked at the back of Hosokawa Fujitaka, shook his head alone, and said to himself.
After that, Yoshiki Adachi touched his sword Daiita and walked to the gate behind the Nijo Imperial Palace.
There was a soft "crunch", and in order not to attract the attention of Miyoshi Army, the back door of the Nijo Imperial Palace was gently opened. Shogun Yoshiki Adachi was clearly dressed and armored, and his hand was tightly held in the Daidaya, and he rushed to the front of the line, with the shogunate army of five hundred people, in the direction of Omi Province, and began to advance quickly with all his might, because the Miyoshi family would find out about the situation of the Nijo Imperial Palace at any time.
Behind Yoshiki Adachi, there are several rare retainers such as Hosokawa Fujitaka, Wada Yumasa, Iida Naosumi, Isshiki Fujinaga, and Nishiki Yoshimasa, all of whom are expressionless at this time, following behind Adachi Yoshiki, with serious expressions and silent words, just keeping their heads down and moving forward quickly.
"Lord, it's not good, there was a secret whistle report just now, and the general has already broken through the back door of the palace with his men, a total of five hundred troops. They were now heading in the direction of the east, presumably to the Hexagon House. ”
Ten minutes after Yoshiki Adachi had just broken through, Tadataka Okuda came to Matsunaga and reported the information he had just received.
"Oh! Is it already about to break out? And it was an all-army sortie. It turns out that this general who is locked up in the palace still has a little courage! In that case, go and order the whole army to prepare for pursuit. Matsunaga said with squinted eyes.
"Hey!" After Okuda Tadataka answered, he was ready to go to the order.
"Wait a minute." Matsunaga suddenly shouted out to Okuda Tadaka.
"My lordship, what else do you have to order?"
"You go and send someone to tell the news of the general's breakthrough, and also tell the three of them about Miyoshi Changyi, let them go after the pursuit first, and we will wait for them to set off for half an hour before we pursue, remember?" Matsunaga said.
"Hey!"
At the same time, at the intersection of Yamashiro Province and Yamashiro Province to the east of Tanba Province, Kuroda Vocational High School was lurking in a small bush with twenty-five men.
According to Kuroda Vocational High School's original plan, the group should go straight north, directly through the north of Tanba Province back to Tajima Province. (To be continued.) )
