Chapter Ninety-Six: Fan

When Date Masahiro strangled the Maori clan in Aki Country, defeated Ouchi Yoshinaga, and the scenery was infinitely better, his good neighbors obviously did not have such a good time, and the most tragic thing was that Niko Haruha, who was supposed to be the first keeper of Yin and Yang, was Harumu.

According to the original history, this period of time should be the most beautiful time for Niko Haruhisa, the old enemy Ouchi clan suffered internal strife and foreign invasion one after another, and Tao Qingxian, who led the integration of Ouchi Yoshitaka's will, died in the Battle of Itsukushima, and defeated Mori Motoyo, who had just won the Battle of Itsukushima, and captured Iwami Ginzan.

However, due to the birth of political balance, the pattern of yin and yang has undergone a complete change. Mao Liyuan, who was supposed to be the biggest-stirring stick, hung up early, and several of his sons also died under the butcher's knife of Zhengheng.

Ouchi Yoshitaka and Ouchi Yoshicho, the two old and new Ouchi clans pinched each other, and it was obvious that this pair of difficult brothers could not distinguish the winner in a short period of time. The arrival of Miyoshi Changqing put a little pressure on Zhengheng, after all, the country of Sanqi and the country of Settsu are far apart.

Niko Haruhisa was able to live for six or seven years in history, at the age of forty-seven, not even fifty years old, he did not die like Oda Nobunaga, but died of illness, obviously at this time he was also sick. This seemingly young, but actually suffering from illness, Izumo Taishou originally just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then hand over the big position smoothly to his son to be injured. It's just that the successive defeats, especially the expedition to the former country, suffered the biggest fiasco in his life, the rebellion of the Shingong Party.

Wave after wave of unsettled, the rebellion of the Xingong Party, which was already about to be extinguished, did not expect to cause Xiao Qiang. Even his own son-in-law can't wait for six or seven years. Eager to wrest power from the hands of Niko Haruhisa. A handful put Nizi Harujiu under house arrest.

House arrest is house arrest, and he also let Zhengheng's cheap father-in-law, Uyama Kukane, save him. This kind of thing was also done by Zhengheng's distant cousin Date Harumune, which caused the astronomical rebellion that weakened the Oluida family. Niko Haruma ran out of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle and fled to White Deer Castle. In this way, the small Izumo country was divided into three forces and fought together.

The current Izumo Province can be said to be a mess, and Niko Yoshihisa, who occupies Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, can be said to be the strongest. Nizi Qingjiu, who fled to White Deer City, relied on Yu Wei's strength to be second, and the Shingu Party who hid in Shishen Mountain City was the second. The people of the Shingu Party also know that once the two fathers and sons decide the winner, it will be the death of the Shingong Party, so they have become a-stirring stick, and they will help whoever is defeated.

Nizi Haruhisa, Nizi Yoshihisa, and the Shingong Party conspired and fought for life and death around Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which caused turmoil in the country, and some Chinese people who were originally jumping around like a commonplace began to deviate from morality.

In the First War of Bizen Province, a large number of supporters of the Niko clan died on the battlefield. They were either killed or captured, and most of the captured ones are still serving in the bronze mountains of the Date family. According to the chaos of Izumo Province, I am afraid that there is no hope of coming back in a short time.

Nowadays, the three who can still be the master in Izumo are the three of Mitoya Kufu of Santoya Castle, Misawa Weiqing of Misawa Castle, and Akaki Shengqing of Setoyama Castle, and the others have either thrown themselves into the civil strife of the three families or have long since declined.

These three families are now sitting together in the Misawa Castle of the Misawa family, discussing how to turn their backs on the Lord and seek glory. At that time, the Nizi lasted for a long time and the three men were known for the anti-Nizi Alliance, Misawa was the father of the Qing Dynasty participated, and in the battle of Gassan Tomita Castle, Misawa followed the Ouchi clan to besiege Gassan Tomita Castle, and has always been known for its high independence. The last time Niko Haruhisa went on an expedition to prepare for the former country, Misawa refused to serve in the military in retaliation for the seizure of Yokotaso, an iron-producing area in the Mizawa clan's territory, and narrowly escaped a catastrophe.

When Niko Haruhisa and the Shingu Party were fighting, Misawa took Yokotaso back privately for the sake of Qing, and the expression was extremely strong, which made Niko Haruhisa hateful and helpless.

Today, Misawa invited Mitoya Kufu and Akaka Shengqing to discuss how to turn their backs on the Lord and seek glory, and in history, it was these three who took the lead in subduing when Maori Yuan was just beginning to invade Izumo Kingdom, and were quite active in the later invasions.

Misawa sat down for Kiyoichi, and when he came up, he said bluntly to the two: "Now that Tsukiyama Tomita Castle is in a mess, it is impossible to tell the winner in a short period of time. What does the future hold for Izumo Province? ”

Santoya Kufu and Akakaya Shengqing met halfway when they came, and they had discussed it for a while, and they both had their own answers, so the older Santoya Kufu said: "The rebellion of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle cannot be divided in a short period of time, and Izumo Province will inevitably be devastated. Unless we rely on the three of us, we can really knead the wealthy families together. ”

Misawa nodded slightly and said, "Even if the three of us work together, we can only extinguish the internal strife, and we can't defend against foreign enemies." I expect that Izumo Province will be taken by others sooner or later, and everyone knows about the changes between Aki and Iwami, but now that Izumo Province is embattled, it is time to be in danger. ”

Izumo Province is Iwami Province to the west, Bigo Province to the south, and Hakuki Province to the east, and Misaku Province next to Boqi Province, all of which have fallen into the hands of the Date family, and Izumo Province can be said to be embattled on all sides, and in such a critical situation, the people of the Niko family are still fighting for false power.

Akaxue Shengqing nodded and said: "The alliance of the three families of Misawa, Sandaoya, and Akaxue is unrivaled in the country, and if outsiders take Izumo, they will either rely on our three families as the dry city, or they will deal with it as soon as necessary, so as not to monopolize national affairs." So Date Zhengheng, is there such a capacity for people? ”

Misawa smiled and said: "If the three can really unite as one, no matter who governs Izumo, they can't be suppressed or eradicated, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, divide and rule, and there will inevitably be chaos again. ”

The three families united to do such things that betrayed the Lord and sought glory, firstly, because the Izumo Kingdom was in turmoil, so that these people were also afraid, secondly, the Date family gradually became unstoppable, and thirdly, they also saw the weakness of the Date family, and there were no relatives and ministers available.

In order to make the covenant more firm, he married his sister to Santoya Kufu, and Santoya Kufu married his sister to Chiya Shengqing, and Akata Shengqing married his sister to Misawa for Qing.

At the same time, each of the three sent envoys to Bei China to ask for a meeting with Zhengheng.

When the three envoys set off, Masahiro had to put aside the issue of establishing an heir and met Masuda Fujikane from Iwami Province in the meeting room. This Masuda Fujikane, in the influence of political balance, can be said to be a supporting role, is a supporting role in the supporting role, if he hadn't given birth to a good son, of course, in this time and space, it is already unknown whether he can give birth to the good son Masuda Motosho who makes him proud? Anyway, Zhengheng has promised to marry his cheap sister to Masuda Fujikane, even if he gives birth to a son, called Masuda Yuanxiang, this Yuanxiang is not the other Yuanxiang.

Masuda Fujikane's imagination is a rude samurai, or the roe deer's rat eye, the usual public face of an unknown young general, well, as featureless as those public faces in Taiko's biography, and no one will take a second look at it if thrown into the crowd.

But what he didn't expect at all was that when Masuda Fujikane raised his head in the newspaper, the first impression left on Zhengheng was heroic, and people's first impression was very important, so to speak, when Zhengheng saw Masuda Fujikan for the first time, no matter what Masuda Fujikane's character was, he recognized it anyway.

Zhengheng said with a smile: "Uemonzo came from afar, and it was hard all the way. ”

Zhengheng is observing Masuda Fujikane, Masuda Fujikan is not observing Zhengheng, otherwise he would not dare to look up directly, of course, if it is in the eyes of the old school with many rules, this is an extremely disrespectful expression, but the Date family has no such rules at all, but no one has to blame him, so that he can carefully see Zhengheng's face.

A good young man, if it weren't for that blind eye covering up his immaturity, he would definitely be a young man, but it was this blind eye that made Zheng Hengping ten years older, but he was still too young to sit on the male lord of the Five Kingdoms.

Masuda Fuji had a dignified demeanor, and bowed down again: "Thank you for your concern, and the ministers are grateful." ”

After a few casual greetings, Zhengheng obviously didn't say much, and quickly got to the point: "The future situation of Iwami Province is already on the blueprint of my family, I will divide Iwami Country into two parts, the first part is Iwami Country Silver Mountain, which must be directly governed by the Date family, and the rest is all led by you." ”

Masuda Fujikan didn't expect Zhengheng to be so straightforward, he glanced at the retainers around him, and mostly showed some envy and jealousy, but there was no trace of inappropriateness, which made him a little difficult to get used to, shouldn't he bargain according to convention?!

Of course, Masuda Fujikan will not be bored with himself, and hurriedly responds: "Thank you Lord of the country." ”

Masuda Fujikane then only knew how to say a word of thanks to the lord of the country, because Masahiro had obviously thought about it for him, as long as he agreed. It's just that this makes Masuda Fujikan suspicious, after all, Zhengheng is so enthusiastic and has made so many promises, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be uneasy and kind.

But Masuda Fujikan also knows the strength of the Date family, and such strength is definitely not something that Masuda Fujikan can afford to provoke. In the end, Masuda Fujikane was only able to privately visit some important members of the Date family before he figured out the intentions of the Date family.

Yoshimi Masariri killed the envoy of the Date family, and the Date family wanted to take revenge on this matter, but they didn't want the two major internal and external alliances, so they had to rely on the power of Masuda Fujikane. In this case, it is necessary to give enough benefits and let Masuda Fujikane mobilize all his forces to take action. (To be continued......)
