Chapter 45 "Present Kongming" Ryo Murakami (I)
The rebellion of Saidada Castle soon reached the ears of Murakami Takeyoshi by Noshima's spies, and at this moment, Murakami Takeyoshi had just blackmailed more than 100 large and small ships from his father-in-law, among which Kozawasa was the main one, so that Noshima's strength was restored to the level of two or three years ago. However, it still can't dispel Murakami's concerns, it is really because Date Mashiro has put too much pressure on him, who let Date Mashiro have a grudge against him, blocking people's money, such as killing his parents.
Manabe Island was attacked, Murakami Takeshi originally thought that Date Masaki was just a rabble, as long as Maori Yuan and Mishima Murakami jointly attacked, it would be like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, sweeping the world, but the truth was not as beautiful as he thought. In the battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, the Date army was extremely strong, and it could be described as heroic and brave and fearless of death, but it defeated the battle-hardened Maori Yuan. In addition, he made a surprise attack on the hinterland of China, and was defeated and fled by the Date army that returned.
With Date Masaki defeating Maori Motoshi, he met Niko Haruhisa on an expedition to Bigo Kingdom, Murakami Takeyoshi thought that Date Masaki at the end of the strong crossbow should be planted this time, where did he think that Niko Haruhisa would be so unsightly, and he was beaten so that he couldn't find the north, and suddenly Date Masaki became famous and his strength increased greatly.
Seeing that the salt-saturated water army returned to the Date family, under the pressure step by step, Inshima Murakami could not resist the front of the army, once Inshima Murakami was defeated, under the chain reaction, Nojima and Kuijima were also unhappy, and the Seto Inland Sea was about to change hands. This is the reason why Tsuyasu came to the island so generously agreed to exchange the ship for soldiers.
Mori Takakei found Takeyoshi Murakami and was subordinate to Yoshicho Ouchi. Work together to deal with Date Politics. Takeshi Murakami, who was originally at odds with Yoshinaga Ouchi, reluctantly agreed to the request under the persuasion of Mori Takakei, knowing that only by going into battle shirtless could he defeat the Date family.
When Yoshitaka Ouchi was in power, he negotiated with Mishima Murakami and the people, mainly Noshima Murakami, on the condition that he would continue to let Noshima Murakami collect "police solid materials" and "superior materials" for ships, in exchange for a no-war agreement with Noshima Murakami to ensure the safety of the shipping route of Itsukushima and even the entire Seto Inland Sea. However, with the rise of Yoshinaga Ouchi, a complete change occurred, and as Yoshitaka Ouchi fled across the sea to Kitakyushu, the power of the Yashiro Island Navy became even more important in the eyes of Yoshinaga Ouchi. The Yashiro Island Navy invaded the traditional sphere of influence of Nojima Murakami under the arrogance. Ouchi Yoshinaga covered up in many ways, which made Noshima Village annoyed. Murakami Takeshi had to swallow his anger in order to deal with Date Masaki.
Murakami Takeshi and Murakami solemnly discussed all night, with wolves in front and tigers in the back. Only by going into battle shirtless can we survive the crisis in front of us. Murakami has been solemn since the loss of Kasaokama Castle. Although he was in Noshima Castle, he was courteous to Murakami Buji. In this era of strength is status, his position is quite embarrassing, and he said in a deep voice: "If Date Masahiro can treat each other politely." If you sign a no-war agreement with my family, even if my family has to be subordinate to him in the end, it will be fine. But now Date Zhengheng is shouting and shouting and killing all day long, ruthless, and implementing a series of policies and regulations in the territory, making the Date family stronger and stronger, if we surrender to him, not only will we not be able to defend our homeland, but we will even have to pay for our own lives. ”
Of course, Murakami Bujichi knew where the gap between Noshima Murakami and Date was there, and he frowned and said, "Uncle, with the strength of our army, even if we add Ouchi Yoshicho and Mori Takakei, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the invasion of the Date army." ”
Murakami Takakei sighed secretly, unconsciously, the Date family has grown from a weak force to the point where he is now looking up, paced a few steps, and said: "According to common sense, it is most common to start a war after the autumn harvest, but once the autumn harvest is completed and the hearts of the people are harvested, the strength of the Date family will be greatly improved, and it will not be the time for us to attack them, but for our crisis." ”
Murakami Takeyoshi listened to his uncle's words, and his heart was still hesitant, and said: "Uncle, I'm afraid that this battle is a landing operation, although I have more than 100 ships on the island, but the number of sailors has been greatly reduced, and once I fight head-on with the Date family, I am afraid that it will be a heavy loss." ”
Murakami solemnly twisted his beard, finally firmed his gaze, and highlighted two words: "Borrow soldiers!" ”
Seeing that Murakami Takeyoshi showed a puzzled expression, Murakami solemnly explained: "Now that a large number of Noshima troops have been lent to Kurishima, then we can also borrow troops from Ouchi Yoshicho and Mori Takakei, lure Date Masahiro to attack and fight with him, and then suddenly attack the hinterland of his rear. ”
Murakami Takeyoshi kowtowed slightly, but said: "That's true, but the Yashiro Island Navy has a lot of support from Yoshicho Ouchi, and it is already on a par with my family in terms of the number of ships, I'm afraid they won't use our ships and let us guard the retreat." ”
Murakami shook his head solemnly and replied, "Have you forgotten the sick tiger in Kitakyushu, and Ouchi Yoshicho will rest assured that the task of intercepting Kitakyushu will be entrusted to us?" ”
After the uncle and nephew discussed it, they sent an envoy to the Yamaguchikan to borrow troops from Ouchi Yoshinaga.
Yamaguchikan, Ouchi Yoshinaga responded to a small trick to make the rebellion of Hideki Ueki, the general under Date Masahiro.
In his eyes, Hideki Ueki sat on the land of a county early, and Saiida Castle was an extremely important castle in China, which can be said to be on a par with Takamatsu Castle, and the lord of Takamatsu Castle, Ishikawa Hisataka, was Date Masaki's father-in-law, and Hideki Ueki's status should be equal to him.
The new head of the Ouchi family, who had betrayed his lord and usurped the throne, did not know that many things of the Date family could not be explained according to common sense, and he also overestimated the ability of his subordinates to gather information. In the Warring States Period, where strength is status, Hideshi Ueki was the lord of Hideki Castle, but Hideshi Ueki was a clown in the eyes of Date Masaki, and the reason why he was still allowed to sit in the position of the lord of Sawida Castle was that Hideki Ueki had no obvious fault, and secondly, it could also show Date Hideaki's tolerance.
The Saida Rebellion that was publicized to the outside world was like how many troops Hideshi Ueki had mobilized to cage the city, and it was not clear in the clouds, but in the eyes of Ouchi Yoshinaga, there must be at least 1,800 people, and it was more than enough to hold on for a month or two. If you knew that there were only more than 200 people in the whole city including female dependents, and there were only more than 100 soldiers who could fight, Ouchi Yoshicho would not have made the following decision.
As soon as the envoy sent by Takeyoshi Murakami told him about the request for soldiers, Ouchi Yoshinaga gathered all his cronies and retainers with an excited smile on his face, and said: "Now that Sai Tian Castle is in turmoil, Date Koji can mobilize no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Minomori, please write a letter for me and reply to Noshima Murakami. ”
Hongzhong Takabao thought for a while, took a step forward, and said: "Lord, my family has never dealt with Noshima Murakami, and now he borrows troops from my family, I am afraid that he has the intention of letting my soldiers be used as forward cannon fodder, and I also ask the lord to think twice before acting, don't fall for the villain's plan." ”
Jiang Liang Fang Rong has been parting with Hirochu Takabo in Ouchi's house, the Maori family's return to the Ouchi family and Mishima Murakami's no-war agreement with the Ouchi family, all of which came from his idea, and now Hirochu Takabo questioned Murakami's bad intentions, his heart was annoyed, and he immediately spoke: "My lord, now the Yashiro Island naval army cannot be moved lightly, if you want to defeat the Date family, you can only win it if it takes care of this and loses the other side, and using the power of Mishima Murakami's naval army to directly penetrate the hinterland of the Date family has become the only choice for my family." ”
Jiang Liangfang Rong paused, glanced at Hongzhong Takabao, and said: "As for Murakami Takeki's intentions, isn't the lord clear, borrowing troops is just a whitewash of surrender, only borrowing troops, and you have to lend him enough soldiers and horses, which has two meanings, one is to use him as a hostage to dispel Murakami Takeshi's concerns, and the other is to use him and my family to send troops directly into the hinterland of Date and directly incorporate Murakami Takeyoshi into my family's system, so that Mishima Murakami Murakami will be able to get the water army at his fingertips." ”
Ouchi Yoshitaka listened to Jiang Liang Fangrong's flattery, and felt a trace of dissatisfaction with Hongzhong Takabao's words, of course he would not show it, he raised his head and laughed, and said: "Haha, okay, he wants soldiers, I will lend him soldiers, Minomori, you have full authority to deal with this matter." ”
Jiang Liangfang fell to the ground in honor, kowtowed, and said: "Yes, the minister should go to the soup to repay the favor of the lord." ”
Ryo Yasu Murakami could not bear the persecution of his brother and head of the family, and led sixteen henchmen to outwit Nagasaki Castle, the main city of Innoshima Village, which was a full ten years earlier than the "Imakoaki" and "Imazumiki" Takenaka Hanbei captured Inabayama Castle in the same way.
Of course, Murakami Ryūyasu's reputation will never be as good as Takenaka's half-guard, who called someone to have a good son who studied under the shogunate's chief Confucian scholar Lin Luoshan, and the ability to reverse black and white is to control the fire. Ryoyasu Murakami is a usurper in the eyes of Murakami Yoshimitsu.
Shirataki Castle, a small city in the southwest of Innoshima, was built on the slope of Shirataki Mountain, the highest peak on Innoshima, and Murakami Yoshimitsu, who had just entered the city to recuperate, heard that his good brother had stabbed himself in the back, and he was furious, and he was depressed for a while, and suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.
The retainers and attendants on the side were so frightened that they couldn't retreat, but they just jumped on the spot and shouted indiscriminately, and the scene became a mess. The palace land Mingguang pushed aside everyone and said to everyone: "This is a rush to attack the heart, spread it out a little, let the lord breathe." ”
Everyone immediately dispersed in a circle, but when they saw that the palace was not retreating, they were advancing, and they stepped forward to salute Murakami Yoshichong and said, "Lord, it's rude." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pinched down on the middle of the man, and Murakami Yoshimitsu slowly woke up and saw everyone gathered in a circle.
Miyaji Mingguang said: "Please also take care of your body." (To be continued......)
