Chapter Seventy-Five: The Conquest of Kyushu (28)

Aftermath of the Battle of Chikugo River (Part II)

Loyal to Omura, who was brave and cowardly, he forged ahead, hoping to rely on the support of the followers of Chechi Tan to gain trade with the Nanban merchants in order to consolidate his position as the governor of his family. On the other hand www.biquge.info he was defeated in the dispute between his adoptive father and son Goto Takaaki, and had to ask his father Arima Qingchun for help, betraying the interests of the Omura family, which made the foundation of the Omura clan increasingly erode and fell into a vicious circle.

Arima Qingchun did not give Omura Junzhong face at all, and scolded Omura Junzhong, causing everyone present to hide their faces and laugh, causing Arima Qingchun to shout angrily: "What can you do to resolve Date Taizheng's anger?" ”

Everyone looked stunned, and no one dared to come forward.

Arima Qingchun looked at several sons and sons-in-law, his face was very ugly, he thought of more things, he was eighty years old, and his life was not long, and in the future, the Ma clan would rely on these dolphins, I am afraid that the hegemony he created would be tossed away.

Arima Qingchun was deeply sad and depressed, he slapped the table and shouted, "What are you afraid of! What are you afraid of? It's inexplicable! Isn't it because my father didn't agree to go to Kokura Castle at the first time? Afraid that I will drag you down in the future, from time to time? You guys think that's funny? My father is already eighty years old, how long can I live, and in the future, you will be in charge of the house, what are you doing as a woman? ”

Arima Yoshinao, Omura Junbred , Senchishi Naoto, Matsuura Mori, Shiki Zhujing, Saigo Junyao and others did not dare to even say it.

Arima Qingchun glanced at Arima Yoshinao, and Arima Yoshinao had to say: "Father, Date is too powerful, and there are as many as 250,000 people and horses on the expedition to Kyushu alone, not counting the vassals of Kyushu, Shikoku and other places. So I had to suggest to my father that after the Date Army arrived in Hizen Country, he would personally go to offer condolences, but my father still said no. That being the case, I can only ask, what is the father? ”

Before the words fell, I only heard a whirl, and the fan in Ma Qingchun's hand flew over. Yoshinao Arima, who was hit in the head by a fan, didn't dare to speak out, so he let out a low scream, and his forehead was bruised.

Arima got up silently, snorted coldly, and walked out with a resentful face.

How could Arima Qingchun have thought that Arima Yoshinao, who has always been cowardly, would show him a face, which made him angry, and blurted out: "Yizhi, I can touch you as the governor of the house, and I can also pull you down?!" ”

Hearing Ma Qingchun say these words in front of everyone, everyone retreated one after another, not daring to answer.

Omura Junzhong walked out of the curtain, and the retainer who was waiting outside was full of sorrow. When he saw Arima Yoshinao walking out of the curtain with an angry face, he guessed that the meeting was not going well, and seeing Omura Juntada's face, it confirmed his guess even more. Now the Goto Takaaki, who is eager to regain his homeland, frequently makes trouble, and Omura Juntada's belief in Kiritan has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Buddhists in the territory and the conservative ministers in the family. Historically, soon after Omura Juntada's baptism, a large number of rioters began to attack Yokoseura continuously, and even set fire to the streets, the church was burned to ashes, and the believers were scattered.

Chao Chang Chun'an stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord, what should I do?" ”

Omura Junzhong paused for a moment, looking at the night sky from time to time due to the shining of torches, sparse and desolate, he was immersed in this peaceful atmosphere, his hand unconsciously touched the cross hanging on his chest, the cold silver cross instantly chilled his body and mind.

He immediately regained his quietness, nodded at Chaochang Chunan's expectant eyes, glanced left and right, and said, "Prepare, you and I will go to the camp of Kokura Castle overnight to meet Taizheng." ”

After a pause, Omura Junzhong said in a low voice: "You will do this matter in person, arrange a small team of personal soldiers, and wait for my instructions?!" ”

How could he have thought that his lord would be so decisive, he was so excited, as long as he could get Date Taizheng's peace and blockage, Goto Takaaki and his ilk would disappear immediately, and he asked softly: "Lord, what kind of gift do you prepare?" ”

Omura Junzhong pondered for a moment and said, "Wen Taizheng is happy with the ship, and the model of the Henry VIII given by Father Thomas should also be brought, and the others can bring some exquisite Nanban treasures." ”

Chao Changchun replied: "Understood." ”

Juntada Omura took out the cross and kissed it gently, he made a decision categorically, and a smile slowly appeared on his solemn face, but soon his smile retracted, and his eyes were like torches.

Omura Juntada knew that he went to meet Date Masahiro alone, especially when Arima Harumi and Arima's father and son turned against each other for this matter, and resolutely went against the grain, which was bound to anger Arima Harumi.

But as long as you have a little brain about the current situation, you know that it should be in line with the Date family, not against the Date family, if you can get the recognition of the Date family, the position of the lord of the three cities of Omura Juntada will be endorsed by the Date family. Whoever dares to provoke Juntada's position in Omura will be to make enemies of the Date family, and both Goto Takaaki and the conservative forces in the family will retreat because of this.

Juntada Omura rushed to the camp of Okura Castle with Haruma Harumi on his back, and Arima Harumi and Arima Yoshinao, father and son, turned into a big incident of father-son hostility because of a seemingly inconspicuous matter.

Arima Qingchun blurted out that he wanted to abolish Arima Yoshinao's words, and after the rumors of people with hearts, they entered the ears of Arima Yoshinao, and the speaker had no intention of listening, and Arima Yoshinao was resentful, and the accumulation became deeper and deeper, like a thorn in the bone.

Qianqianshi saw all this clearly, so unexpected ambitions quietly sprouted. In the beginning, he was nothing more than a dedicated follower and faithful servant of his father and brother. But now he has a sweet dream, once Arima Yoshinao is abolished, it will affect the inheritance of Arima Yoshinao, Omura Junzhong has no heirs, and then there are thousands of stone straighteners, he already has heirs, and in the end his heirs have great hopes of succeeding Ma, and he takes on the role of the speaker.

Once people have ambitions, they will have many illusions, as if they have the chance to win. On the one hand, he quietly aroused Arima's sense of crisis, forcing Arima Yoshinao to riot in order to save himself.

On the other hand, when Arima Yoshinao imprisoned Arima Qingchun, he immediately made a decision and led his cronies to actively rescue Arima Qingchun, and rescued Arima Qingchun from house arrest.

Obviously, under the current circumstances, it is very unwise for Arima Qingchun and righteous father and son to turn against each other.
