Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Early in the morning of November 1, 1552, the weather had begun to cool, and a loud drum noise pierced the sky in the dim sky.
Maori Takayuan raised his head and glanced at the small window on the other side, and wondered, "What's wrong?" Could it be that my father came to save us? Yoshikawa Motoharu, who had injured his arm and festered, tried to open his eyes to take a look, but he never had the strength to mumble in a low voice.
Mori Takamoto, who had been subjected to inhumane treatment since he ventured into Bei China and was arrested, had a smell of blood all over his body, and many wounds on his body after torture had already formed a thick cocoon, as long as he moved slightly, those wounds would come with severe pain, and in this small prison, touching the rough straw on the ground would make people die of pain.
If it weren't for the fact that I had been expecting my father Maori Motosan to send troops to save him, I am afraid that he would have already killed himself by biting his tongue, but what he was waiting for was the bad news of the defeat of the second brother and the Maori army, and now the only thought is that the Date thieves still have a trace of peace thoughts, so that they can still ensure their safety.
The sound of clanging sounded, and Nakamura Chaotada led two sturdy and majestic soldiers to the cell where Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu were located, raised his voice and shouted gloomily inside: "His Royal Highness Date has passed on Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu!" "Nakamura Asadashi is a close retainer of Noyama Masatomo, and the retainer who adheres to the retainer is not a retainer for the sake of the retainer. He can't be called the lord of Date Masahiro, who was originally stationed at Koyama Castle. Recently, I came from Koyama Castle, and I came to report on the movements of Bizen Province.
Mao Li Takamoto heard the familiar voice and his body trembled involuntarily, yellow urine actually flowed out of his trouser pocket, the dark prison, the unpleasant smell of urine, but no one saw it except for himself, Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was close at hand, frowned but had no strength and no heart to mock.
One of the leading jailers heard Nakamura Asadada coming, and quickly got up and fumbled for the keyhole. Surprised, he asked, "The master of the family wants to pass the two of them, isn't there an arbitration conference being held outside?" ”
Nakamura said in a gloomy voice: "Arbitration conference?!" Those people who are in the country don't know the current affairs, and they think that the old man Maori who is a loser will come, and they want to resist the adults, so they don't take the two dog cubs to bleed, so that they can break their minds and see who is the master of the country. ”
Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu's bodies trembled violently. Originally, they still had a trace of fantasy, and suddenly fell into complete darkness, they were unwilling to die like this, and when they first caught it, they may still have the idea of desperate death, but after being locked up for a long time, I am afraid that they have long lost the courage to die.
The jailer sneered, there was some dark side in the hearts of those who had been in prison for a long time. Hearing that the two high-ranking figures in the past were going to be caught and bloodletted, an excited thought rose in his heart, and the key turned and the cell door opened.
A smell of urine came over their faces, and the two soldiers frowned. After waiting for a while, he went in and dragged out with chains around the heads of Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu had no strength to resist. It's just that the two eyes are wide open, full of unwillingness.
It is not only the two brothers Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu who will be beheaded today, but Sugihara Morishige will also be beheaded together. Captured Sugihara Morishige was Fujii Haogen of Shoryo Mountain Castle, that day Mori Moto devoted all his strength to attack the East and West Ebara Array, sent Sugihara Morishige surprise troops down the Oda River, Fujii Hirogen got the news of Sugihara Morishige's soldiers and horses, he thought twice, decided to surprise the army to attack Sugibara Morishige, defeated thousands in one fell swoop, cut more than 40 levels, and captured Sugihara Morishige who resisted to the death.
Fujii was personally received by Date Masaki for his exploits, promised him benefits, issued a certificate of thanksgiving and a security order, and agreed to his request to become Date Masaki's direct retainer.
All three of them were to be executed together in the prisoner's car, after making a circle downstream of the city. Originally, Zhengheng wanted to arrest them back to Bei China, and parade the entire rear of Bei China before beheading the public, but because Nizi Qing had entered the former country of Kou Bei for a long time, he had to behead them in advance to deter the people of Bei Hou.
On the banks of the Ashida River, the three of them knelt on the straw mat, their hands were cut behind their backs, their bodies seemed to have been washed, at least there were no scars on their faces, and Mori Takamoto stared at him with great fear, watching an executioner wipe the big knife in his hand, and his whole body softened.
The faces of the people watching were full of disdainful expressions, and there were many discussions, most of them were some disdainful words, and more of them were words that made him die. On the contrary, Yoshikawa Motoharu had an expression of non-squinting, looked at the gurgling river casually, and summoned up the greatest courage to shout: "The descendants of Oe Hiromoto are not afraid of death!" ”
Sugihara sat there kneeling with his eyes closed and looking indifferent, which made everyone present secretly admire.
The knife flashed with dazzling light, and the three of Mori Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Sugihara Morishige suddenly fell to a different place, and their bodies fell weakly forward. The crowd began to stir, the rank and the corpse were gone, and Zheng Heng ordered his subordinates to rein in, and the subordinates were washing away the blood splattered on the ground.
"And so he died."
Zheng Heng glanced at the three levels hidden in the wooden box, he originally didn't have much idea of wanting to execute Mori Takagen and Yoshikawa Motoharu, at least the faintly haunting famous general collecting habit made him unable to do this, but since he already knew that Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu were never willing to become his retainers, it was a bit too much to say that they were not executed if they were left alive and alive. Mori Yuan has already fled in a hurry, the strength of the Mori family has been greatly damaged, and the relationship between the two families can no longer want harmony, keeping Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu will only enhance the strength of Mori Motosa, once Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu become corpses, it will make the crisis of the Mori family worse, why not do anything for Date Masaki, who is eager to return to China.
The execution of Mori Takamoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu also shows the irreconcilability between Date Masaki and Mori Motosa, and now the only way left in front of the people of Bigo is to prosper those who follow me and those who oppose me to perish, and there is no other idea, as long as you can do your best to deter the new territory, you can do anything, there is no difference.
The sun in the sky is a little dim, it's already winter moon, and the wind is getting colder, and Kibi Shikoku, known as the land of clear skies, is about to enter winter, and the first snow of the previous year will fall in about a month. As long as he can hold on for more than a month, Niko Haruma, who entered the former country of Kobei, will have to withdraw to Izumo Province.
But when it comes to returning to China, it is difficult for Urakami Sokei alone to resist the anxious Niko Haruhisa.
Kiyokawa Hengxiu, who greeted the people of Bigo Kingdom, hurriedly came with several people, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Your Highness, someone who claims to be the guardian of Bizen Province's Urakami Sojing family, Ukita Nao's family, has come to meet you, are you summoned?" "He was a retainer who knew that Nizi Haruhisa had entered the country of Bizen, and when he heard that it was a retainer from Uragami Munekyo of Bizen Province, he immediately left everyone to report it.
Hearing that people call themselves Ukita Naoka, Masahiro's face showed some strange colors, just beheaded the two sons of Mori Motosho and Yoshikawa Motoharu, who dominated the Chinese region in history, and now there is another Ukita Naojia who will dominate the Chinese region in the future, what a strange coincidence.
This Ukita Nao's style of action is really disgusting, he is the second only conspirator in the Sengoku period after Michizo Sato, who has not fought for decades, and has relied on marriage and assassination to gain territory, and finally defeated the main family, completely supporting the former and Misaku countries.
However, his son, Ukita Hideya, was loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who raised him, and did not have the slightest fatherly style.
Noyama Masaki underestimated and said, "Who is this Ukita Naojia who is sacred, and can actually come to ask for help on behalf of Urakami Sokei?" Hisataka-sama Ishikawa, do you know? ”
Ishikawa Hisataka smiled and said: "Daisuke Miyauchi still remembers Genchu Changjiu in Bizen, when he was in the third year of astronomy, he was attacked by Shimamura Toyogomori, the lord of Takatori Castle, and Genzhong Changjiu committed suicide, and the Ukita Naojia is the grandson of Genzhong Changjiu. ”
Noyama Masaki showed a sudden realization on his face, nodded and said: "It turned out to be him, the Bizen fierce general who was rewarded with a famous horse and a tea set and a famous kettle by the governor Hosokawa Takakuni in the third year of Oei, so this Ukita Naoya can really represent Urakami Sokei." ”
Ishikawa Hisataka shook his head slightly, and said with a little admiration: "The Ukita Nao family is not all relying on his grandfather's shadow, his enemy Shimamura Bungo Mamoru is still alive and well, and his grandfather's Toshishi Castle has also fallen into the hands of Shimamura Toyogo Mamoru and is also serving Urakami Sokei as the main one." Again and again, he has continued to make military exploits, from the three hundred times of Otoko Village to the first retainer of Zhixing under the command of Uragami Zongkei, if it weren't for the birth of the lord, he would be a rising star in the four kingdoms of Kibi at the age of twenty-three. ”
Masahiro only remembered that the Ukita Naoke was a rare conspirator in the Warring States period, but he didn't know the suffering of the Ukita Naoke family, and when he heard Ishikawa Hisataka talk about the Ukita Naoke family and Shimamura Bungo Mamoru serving Urakami Munekei together, he put a smile on his face and said, "Waiting is a mystery, the humble coward uses it to cover his shame, and the strong giant uses it as a springboard." Atsutaro, you first let him stay in the castle town, send someone to probe his tone, and summon him after the meeting. ”
Qinghe Hengxiu nodded and retreated.
Hearing the high praise of Zhengheng, Noyama Yichao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, will he be a threat?" ”
Zhengheng shook his head slightly and did not speak.
