Zhuang Gaozi died by suicide, Matsuyama Castle completely fell into the hands of the Date family, and the rapid defeat of the Zhuang clan began to spread with all kinds of news, which could not be concealed in the first place, and countless people could not believe that this news was true, and they ran to the streets to ask the acquaintance of the low-ranking samurai if this was a joke or a gossip spread in the market. After receiving an affirmative reply, the news raged in people's hearts like a plague, and the panicked people exchanged their heads one after another. At this time, they were both defeated, and they were defeated at the hands of a little-known person, and the relatively delicate situation of Shanyang Dao was once again broken. Neither Niko Haruhisa of Tomita Castle nor Mori Moto of Koriyama Castle expected that such an unexpected thing would happen, and that the regime supported by both sides would perish so quickly, and when they learned the news of the fall of Matsuyama Castle, it was already three or four days after Zhuang Gaozi's self-determination, but it was still difficult for them to understand, and they eagerly summoned their retainers and staff to come to consider and discuss.
Aki Koriyama Castle was built on the summit of Koriyama Mountain, where the north shore of the confluence of the Egawa and Tajibi rivers is about 400 meters above sea level, and the old castle was built in the 3rd year of Kenmu (1336) by Mori Hiromoto, the great-grandson of the Aki clan, Hiromoto Oe. At that time, the status of the Maori Shiqin was equal to Date Masahiro's father, Date Soheng, and he was an ordinary national lord, and the old castle was not large, and it was also equal to the old city of the Date family, Koro Castle, and by the time of the reign of the twelfth generation of Mori Moto, he grew into a joint lord of the country, and stepped step by step to unify the Aki country, and began to fortress the whole mountain, and it also experienced the bloody baptism of the offensive of Koriyama Castle in the Korihisa Korihisa Castle, reflecting the core position of Koriyama Castle as the core of Mori Moto's rule over Aki Province.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Koriyama Castle is not very dignified, at least it is much more relaxed than when Tao Qingxian killed Ouchi Yoshitaka, after all, An Yiguo is far away from Bei China, and there is also Beihou Guo in the middle. Most people were amazed by the legend of Date Mashiro, but of course there were some people whose vital interests had been hurt with a gloomy expression on their faces. For example, Takashi Kobayakawa, who was still preparing for China's unstoppable gallop last year, his face was not very good-looking, and he was annoyed why he didn't go to Date Masahiro, who would create a legend of Zào, and wondered if the uncertainties in China would have subtle changes to the Maori family. And Yoshikawa Motoharu looked like he didn't care about himself. Seeing that Kobayakawa Takakei's face was not worried, there was no expression on his face, but there was a burst of schadenfreude in his heart. There is no story of the training of the three arrows yet, and the dispute between Kobayakawa Takakei and Yoshikawa Motoharu has been going on for a long time, but there has always been a Maori Yuan suppressing it without breaking out, and in history, the first Maori Yuan died, and the two turned against each other.
The atmosphere in the conference room was not very solemn, and a group of important ministers sat below. And Mao Liyuan is holding his chin above and his eyes are half-closed, this is his habitual action, he will do this when he encounters very difficult things, it is best not to disturb him at this time, otherwise he will die a very ugly death.
Mao Liyuan opened his half-closed eyes, raised his head and looked down at everyone, with a terrifying light in his eyes, and the whispering ministers knelt neatly and no longer made any other movements.
Ever since the Inoue Motokane clan was brutally slaughtered by Mori Motosa. No other retainer of the same lord background dared to swagger in front of the Maori Yuan. The reason why Inoue Motokane was destroyed was that it was about the power of the Inoue clan, and it was also said that Inoue Motokane was an arbitrary and domineering person. But in fact, it is the chicken in the Maori Yuan that kills the chicken and sets an example for the sake of unification. The difference between Maori Yuan and Date Masahiro is that he originally seized the position of his brother and nephew and climbed to dominate the Maori family, and the Maori family has always been unable to establish absolute centralized power, because the Maori family is just a symbolic leader who has been brought out by many wealthy families to lead everyone to fight against the enemy under specific historical conditions.
In order to get out of this situation, Maori Yuan spent almost half a lifetime to unify, and when he couldn't unify, he had to raise the butcher's knife frequently. Inoue Motokane is just a different voice under the butcher's knife.
Mao Li Yuan's voice was not very loud, with a squeezing voice, he said in a low voice: "It seems that the situation is very strict, I didn't expect that the little guy who had no one paying attention to it would be able to defeat the three village family affinity and Zhuang Gaozi in such a short period of time, and unify Bei China, it seems that he still has a strong ability." ”
Katsura Motosumi, who had been serving as the liaison officer of Bigo Province for a long time, heard the voice of Mori Motosa. The uneasiness in his heart is even stronger, he has always served as the liaison officer of the country of Bigo, his son Gui Yuanyan fell into the hands of Date Masahiro a year ago, and he should pay special attention to Date Masahiro at that time, otherwise he would not be so passive now, the three villages were defeated, and the reunification of China was in the hands of the extremely aggressive Date Masahiro, and the people of Bigo were panicked, and the League of Nations, which was almost over, made waves again, and it was obviously difficult to succeed in a short period of time. Gui Yuancheng hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to answer.
Mao Li Yuan turned to look at his sister-in-law, Mao Li Long Yuan, and asked, "Long Yuan, tell me how my family should deal with the sudden changes in China." ”
Maori Longyuan has always won the trust of people with his gentle nature and modesty, and won the love of Maori Yuan, Wuyong is not as good as Yuanchun, and his wisdom is not as good as Longjing, but his gentle and cautious character and excellent ruling ability make him have the ability to inherit the position of Maori family governor, Maori Yuan often let him have something to show Xiàn to inherit his status, after all, the years are not forgiving, Maori Yuan is no longer young.
Mori Takamoto saluted respectfully and said: "Father, suddenly heard about the changes in China and the rise of Date Masahiro, the child was deeply surprised, so he sent his subordinates to investigate Date Masahiro and his Date family, and found that the Date family was all related to Date Masahiro alone, Date Masahiro This person seems to be quite close to the Nizi clan, but after looking at the situation of the Date family, he found that this is not the case. Date Masahiro was a novice hiding in a mountain temple years ago, but later due to the death of his father Date Soheng and his brother Nobuhiro, he had to stand up and become the head of the Date family, a wealthy family, and then he was out of control. From this point of view, Date Masahiro is not a descendant of the Nizi clan, and it is especially inferior to the Zhuang family and the Shinmi clan, Zhuang Bei Zhonggong and Shinmi Zhenjing Gong have always been deferential to the Nizi clan, and he said that he will be destroyed, which is enough to see that he and the Nizi clan are inseparable. ”
He paused as he spoke. Mori Takashi hurriedly said: "The child thinks that Date still has the ability to manage his people, but as long as he gives him a little benefit, he will recognize his status as the lord of China. It is enough to make the detached Nizi Qingjiugong dissatisfied, and the relationship between the two families will inevitably break down immediately. ”
Mao Liyuan nodded slightly, without saying a word, and looked at everyone. Akakawa Motoho, who had been paying attention to Maori Yuan for a long time, immediately understood: "Duozhi Bidian, Shaodian is right, as long as Nizi Haruhisa and Date Masahiro are inseparable, and give Date Masahiro a little benefit, he will have no time to take care of the country of Bigo." And if Tajibiden is still worried, I heard that the two brothers of Bizen Province have already been full of rifts, and as long as they add a little fire, they will burn brightly, and as long as Bizen Province burns, Bigo China will not be able to take care of Bigo Province. ”
The old Fukuhara Sadatoshi of the pen family carefully observed the expressions of the three brothers with hidden eyes, and slowly spoke: "Tajibiden, the most important thing for the Maori family now is how to break the blockade of Itsukushima, and the pottery thief will inevitably be even more aggressive once he learns the news of the defeat of the Mimura family in China." Maybe he will also contact Date Mashiro of Bei China, and once the two join forces to flank An Yi and Beigo, the situation will be very bad. Please also ask the Doji Biden to make a decision. He knelt on the ground as he spoke.
And they all fell on their knees.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, Mao Li Yuan straightened his waist, and his eagle-like sharp gaze swept across the entire hall in an instant, nodded and said: "Now our top priority is to defeat the pottery thief, and the matter of preparing China will be handed over to Mao Li Longyuan to deal with it with full authority, assisted by Gui Yuancheng and Akakawa Motobao, and the country of Beihou cannot be messed up, and the rest will be handled by you." ”
Mori Takamoto, Gui Yuancheng, and Akakawa Motoho fell to the ground and responded: "The ministers will complete the task successfully." ”
Soon the meeting moved on to how to deal with Tao Qingxian, after all, the top priority of the Maori family now is how to deal with Ouchi Yoshicho's seizure of Zhou Defense and Nagato, and other things are secondary. The meeting lasted a long time before it ended, "The Lord is prosperous!" I'm willing to go to the soup for the Maori family, and I will never give up! It ended with the compliments of a retainer Shan Huhai.
Mori Takamoto rode on his horse and glanced back at Koriyama Castle, and said, "Akakawa Motoho, Gui Yuancheng, the rest of the matter will depend on the two of you, and please unite the two sincerely." Successfully complete my father's task. As he spoke, he raised his whip and waved it, and the horse snorted out.
……
At the same time, it is outside the Date Museum of Bichuku.
Hisaku Miura had just arrived from Tsurushou Castle and wanted to go to Date Pavilion to meet with the two envoys from Yunzhou and ask if there was anything to pass on to Lady Uyama. He actually didn't want to come, now the Date family is like a rainbow, there are signs of unification, he tried his best to catch the Date family's team, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and finally sorted out his feelings and crossed the Oda River towards the Date Pavilion. I saw the bleak Date Pavilion, and thought of the extremely luxurious and beautiful houses lined up on the two rows of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle Avenue, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle still looks majestic in the hands of Niko Haruhisa, but it has a great tendency to decline, and the tall gate house in Tomita Town is no longer the pride of the Nizi clan, but has become a place for those rebels.
The gate of Date Pavilion is impressive.
Date Pavilion, before, called the Three Villages Pavilion, located on the other side of the Crane Head Castle, since Date Mashiro captured the Crane Head Castle began to be abandoned, these days suddenly became lively, the reason is very simple, the pavilion came to two messengers from Yunzhou, making the Date Pavilion lively all of a sudden.
Because the Date family has always been in a state of war, the family's funds are used for the war, and it is not very rich in internal affairs, forcing the Date Pavilion to not be properly repaired and cleaned up, and the courtyard is overgrown with grass, but in order to welcome the two envoys from Yunzhou, Nikaido Nobuhiro has negotiated with Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and others many times, and after a little tidying up, it still looks like the same thing on the façade.
Miura Kusaku sighed softly, no longer thinking about these useless things, and strode towards the gate, where there were almost no people walking, only groups of tall soldiers in gorgeous footgear patrolling. These soldiers were all escorts who followed the two envoys from Yunzhou, and each one who could become a garrison was one in a hundred soldiers, and the choice was not brave and loyal, but height and weight. Of course, there are also eyes, these people are all beautiful men from Yunzhou, all of them are dignified and neat.
Kusaku Miura sneered, revealing his sallow teeth. He wondered: "What's the use of these useless guys, who are not as good as the monkeys who dig copper in Itahou?!" He suddenly remembered his family's big yellow dog Xiao Hei who fell into the gutter and drowned, Xiao Hei was tall and thunderous, and finally fell into the gutter and drowned. The outside of the Date Pavilion was cleaned a little, but there was not much cleaning inside, but fortunately, Nobuhiro Nikaido and Sajiro's grandson were two people who wanted to make the two envoys from Yunzhou comfortable. I did my best to neatly arrange the ceramic tea utensils that I bought from the sea last time, but they were beautiful and ugly.
Miura Kusaku took Mrs. Uyama's letterhead and quickly passed the porter's inquiry, he knew that as long as he handed over some money, he would be able to lead to these fox fake tiger inquiries, but if he could save it, since he had the letterhead, why not use it, just thinking about how to answer the questions of the two messengers as he walked. How to tell Mrs. Qing Yushan's recent situation.
Miura Kusaku waited outside the gatehouse, and the attendant in the gatehouse cautiously walked in to report to the two messengers from Yunzhou, and suddenly heard the nagging of the two attendants. seems to complain a little bit about the Date family, and seems to have neglected their uncles. He had heard Date Masahiro say this when he asked whether or not to repair Tsurushou Castle: "As the people of the common people live, I will be the same, and I will be the same as the retainers and soldiers." Thinking about it now, the comparison obviously makes Miura Hisaku even more restless.
Niko Keihisa opened the wooden door and asked loudly, "Has the boy of the Date family returned to Heshou Castle?" ”
A guard who had just disappeared hurriedly ran out and knelt on the ground to report: "Not yet, oh, Miura Kusaku-sama has been waiting for a long time, but your lord is busy with things, so I have to let him wait in the gatehouse." Please forgive your sins?! Saying that, he told the origin of Miura Kusaku.
Nizi Jingjiu is a short man, thin, with a pair of good-looking eyebrows, a pair of kind eyebrows, once a fierce general with strong blood, and the passage of time has sharpened his qiē. From the outside to the inside, only that pair of eyebrows may still be so good-looking. He turned his head to the side, and saw that his friend Yukitaka Yamanaka was already sitting by the door in a neat kimono, and Yamanaka Yukitaka muttered in a nice and soft voice, "Miura Kusaku? Miss Uyama's auxiliary, I could hear something else from his mouth. ”
I didn't expect that the specifications of the two envoys from Yunzhou would be so high.
The three sons of Niko Kunihisa, who belonged to the Shingu Party, were ranked seventh in the family of Shingu and moved with his father and brother to various places, participated in the Battle of Yamashijo in Yoshida-gun in 1540, and attacked the Miyoshi clan, the lord of Mt. Hieio, in 1544, and his reputation even spread to Kinai.
The deputy envoy Yamanaka Kamajiro Yukitaka, his father is Yamanaka Mitsuyuki, a retainer of the Niko family, and his mother is the sister of the retainer of the Niko family, Liyuan Taibei Eihisa, although his status is high, he can only become the background of his younger brother Yamanaka Yukimori.
Nizi Jingjiu laughed coldly: "Hmph, I thought that Yushan Jiu had a good son-in-law, but I didn't expect that Date Xiao'er would be a stranger to Mrs. Uyama, if I let that old man know the recent situation of his baby daughter, I'm afraid I will vomit a basin of blood." Date is so bold that she can do anything. When Nizi Keihisa said this, he snorted dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, Uyama Jiu's words are much more effective than those of us Shingong party members, if we are not still needed now, otherwise the matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey will be repeated." ”
Obviously, the relationship between Yamanaka Yutaka and Niko Keihisa is quite good, otherwise Niko Keihisa would not have been able to talk about such things in front of Yamanaka Kodaka, and after waiting for Miura Kusaku to come for a while, the topic unconsciously turned to Niko Haruma's attitude towards the Shingu Party.
Yamanaka Yutaka sighed softly: "If the young assistant of Shikibu could listen to people's words a little, he would not have made trouble like this. "Nizi Guojiu, commonly known as Shibu Shaofu, the second generation of the Shingu Party.
As soon as Nizi Jingjiu thought of his brother, he was angry in his belly, and said angrily: "It's useless to say, the matter of high merit and shaking the lord has been going on since ancient times, and now if it weren't for the Xingong Party mastering half of the military power, the lord of the country would not dare to act lightly, once it is a little too radical, things will get out of control, and the day of the demise of the Xingong Party is not far away." With a long sigh, he wanted to say something more, but when he saw Miura Kusaku coming, he kept silent.
Miura Jiusaku had already heard that the two envoys of Yunzhou were quite high, and when he could see it lightly, he was even more drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look up for a while to see people, so he knelt on the ground and said busily: "The little minister Miura Jiuzuo visited the two envoys.
