Chapter 173: Bending over to peel shrimp

The situation in the Kishu region today is more complicated than anywhere else, and the entanglement of various forces is indeed complicated. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info initiated from Honganji Temple, which attracted temples and religions that were unwilling to join the same stream to go to Kishu to temporarily settle down, and after Date Shohiro Kamiraku, the interests and lives were persecuted and dangerous to oppose the rule of the Date family, and even the remnants of the former Miyoshi family, who retreated to Kawachi Province after the failure of the invasion of Yamato Province, and the local indigenous forces that continued to sway left and right.

Everyone has me, I have you, all of them are fighting for power and profit in this small basin of Kishu. The regional situation is already very unstable, like an undercurrent surging lake, which seems to be calm, but in fact it is full of dangers. Now the three-legged momentum on the bright side has gone to the second, and only the Zahe people are left alone, and there is a danger of collapse at any time.

Suzuki Shigei, the leader of the people of Saga, verbally scolded Hatakeyama Takamasa for being incompetent, and he was extinguished in just one day without the banner of rebellion against the Date family in the summer, and had to apologize with self-judgment, but he was already afraid in his heart.

More and more news came, which aggravated the fear in Suzuki's heart, he considered himself not a coward, not afraid of life and death, and not afraid of stepping into the footsteps of Hatakeyama's high government. He was deeply worried that the entire family was implicated, and they followed him into the bottomless abyss.

Suzuki Shigei was a family plan, and he was afraid, and he had the idea of going to Kishiwada Castle or going directly to Kyoto to plead guilty. In order to instigate and instigate Hatakeyama Takamasa to make trouble, he took the initiative to give him a handle and signed it in black and white, and he was an accomplice with Hatakeyama Takamasa.

Now that Hatakeyama Takamasa is dead, Nagayashi Castle has fallen into the hands of the Date family, and the letters have probably already fallen into the hands of the enemy, even if Suzuki Shigei is blessed by God and is very lucky, the letters have already been burned, but there is still the Hatakeyama Masato who is the messenger alive.

In order to show his value, Hatakeyama Masanoshi will inevitably cling to Suzuki Shigei. Suzuki hesitated, dazed, and unable to extricate himself from deep self-blame and chagrin, and his sideburns were gray, and his face looked even more exhausted.

In a dilemma, for Suzuki Shigei, Hatakeyama Takamasa was simply defeated to give him the impression that the Date Army was invincible in the world. Among the Zaga people, the Date family's military appearance is majestic, full of thousands of invincible, lightly starting disputes, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and even more serious He is not forced to do so, and he will definitely not turn against the Date family, that is purely self-defeating.

Yoshikane Suzuki, the new heir of the Suzuki clan, was in a happy mood, and Shigei Suzuki was saddened by the loss of an heir who had been trained so much, and he wept bitterly on his face, but his heart had already blossomed, and he came out of his brother's shadow and showed his excellent mediation skills. Although Suzuki Yoshikane is not as good as his brother in terms of force, and his relationship with Honganji is not as close as his brother, he is not a mediocre person, and he has quite a means of dealing with character relationships.

Suzuki was relieved, but also increased the responsibility and burden on Suzuki's shoulders. Yoshikane Suzuki, who gradually sat firmly in the second-in-command of the Saga people, received the news from Nagasu Castle, and was shocked and secretly thought about how to plan to break the situation and maximize the benefits.

The next news shocked Yoshikane Suzuki even more. Beat Genraiji Temple beyond recognition, couldn't raise his head, was almost disarmed, and watched the famous general of the Date family, Ge Lang Hengxin, who built a city and fort at the door of his home, repeatedly dispatched troops to move to the direction of Sanshang Township in the name of fighting bandits. There are two more large teams assembled in the direction of Kishiwada Castle, and they form a three-sided encirclement in the direction of Nagaya Castle, no, plus the invincible Seto Inland Sea of the Date family's naval army, it should be on all sides.

There were armies squeezing towards Sagaso in all directions.

Yoshikan Suzuki had a sense of panic that the wind was about to come and fill the building, so he hurriedly asked to see his father with the latest detected information. On weekdays, Yoshikane Suzuki always shows a calm and relaxed appearance, walking in a regular manner, a little as hasty as now, and it can even be said to be anxious.

In the study, Suzuki Shigeyi, the leader of the Saga people, looked at his worried son and stepped forward and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" What's going on? He also lost his former calmness, and a thick melancholy color was wrapped around his brows, and he looked restless.

Yoshikan Suzuki 1510 will get the news to his father.

After being silent for a long time, Suzuki Shigei and Panji asked, urgently asked Yoshikane Suzuki what to do next, and at the same time told his son that he was old, and if he could survive the difficulties this time, he would hand over the ownership to Yoshikane Suzuki and enjoy a secluded life.

Yoshikane Suzuki did not have the slightest joy at the moment when he was about to become the second generation of the Sakaga people, and with sorrow on his face, he looked up at his father, whose sideburns were gray and his face was haggard. He was silent for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Father, between the Saka people and the Hatakeyama Takamasa, the Date family only sent a partial division, and the leading general was an unknown young general, so he defeated Nagayashi Castle with a devastating force, and Hatakeyama Takamasa was forced to apologize for his crimes. The gap between Suzuki and Date is like the distance between heaven and earth, a young general, a partial division is enough to quickly defeat Hatakeyama Takamasa. Now, with the Noyama Masaki, the first general of the Date family, leading the army, assisted by Ge Lang Hengxin, and supported by elite soldiers, what is the ending of the Zaga people, and the children dare not be delusional? ”

Shimizu Soji is the leader of the younger generation of the Date family, and he is also a peer of Zhengheng in terms of age, but he is still not as famous as the predecessors who followed Zhengheng in the southern and northern wars, and he is indeed an unknown young general in the eyes of people who are not familiar with the situation of the Date family. This expedition to Nagayashi Castle to conquer Hatakeyama Takamasa was his first time leading the army into battle, and he completed the task very well from the point of view of his performance.

Suzuki Shigei's expression was indifferent, and the same words came out of the mouths of many people, all of which showed that this army was disheartened, had no intention of fighting, and the psychology of fear of war was clearly revealed, and even his son was as unnew as everyone else, and said lightly: "Surrender? ”

Suzuki Yoshikane nodded, shook his head again, and replied: "Yes and no, is it to surrender under conditional circumstances, and to surrender under the premise of ensuring the safety, territory and military exploits of the Suzuki family?" ”

Suzuki Shigeyi didn't answer, there was a slight movement in his eyes, wasn't he bothered by these requests, it didn't seem to be very difficult for Suzuki Yoshikane, and asked, "Reason?!" ”

Yoshikane Suzuki suddenly figured out something, his face was relieved for a while, and he showed a relieved smile, and said hurriedly: "Father, the child just figured it out, I'm afraid we're all going to fork it?" The Saga people had already shown their deference to the Date family a few years ago, and had become a subordinate force of the Date family, so why should they think about the question of surrendering? If we consider the problem from this angle, I am afraid that we have misunderstood the intention of Zheng Henggong, why did he want to trap and kill us, why did he make a fuss, he could have sent a partial division, do we still have the strength to turn defeat into victory? ”

Suzuki Shigei's "um" sound appeared in his eyes, and he also thought of this and said, "Keep talking?!" ”

Yoshikane Suzuki continued, "Originally, we thought from the perspective of the Suzuki clan of Saga, and it was a mistake to think about the problem. If you think about it from another perspective, from the standpoint of the Zheng Heng Gong, the Zheng Heng Gong formed the Four Nations Army and assembled in the Izumi Kingdom, is it just because he wants to trap and kill the local tyrants in Kishu, he also thinks too highly of me and waits. Judging from the fact that Hatakeyama Takamasa was killed, there was no need to be so troublesome, and he ordered us to go to Izumi Province to report, but in fact, he did not have any ill intentions. According to Zheng Henggong's thoughts, we will soon be surrendered to him, and he will form a four-nation legion in Hequan Country, isn't it a matter of course to bring us under the legion? Hatakeyama Takamasa will be wrong, and there will be trouble, and the Hatakeda family will betray him, and anyone who treats a traitor will use thunder methods. However, the child peeked at a slight difference from it, this partial division is from Kishiwada Castle, and the leading generals should also be members of the Shikoku Legion, which means that in the eyes of Masahiro, Hatakeyama Takamasa belongs to the Shikoku Legion and should be handled by the Shikoku Legion. ”

Empathy, Suzuki Shigeyi is also a scheming and calculating, suddenly enlightened, the cottage suddenly opened, for the Date family, the four countries and the three good remnants are the great enemy, they are just thieves who jump off the beam and clean up. The thieves are fierce, and the Date family doesn't mind smoothing it out. If you're willing to contribute to the Date family, you don't mind letting them go.

For the first time, Shigeichi Suzuki paid attention to the new heir and asked again, "How should I deal with it now?" "They have missed the opportunity, and they have conspired with the dead ghost Hatakeyama Takamasa, which has brought a deep crisis to the Suzuki clan of the Saga people, and even if they guess the intentions of the political balance, it will be difficult to get out of the imminent crisis.

Yoshikane Suzuki looked at his father with a resolute expression on his face, and then said something that made Suzuki Shigei stunned, and he said, "The child is willing to lead the army to Wazumian and Wada Castle to ask Noyama Masahimasa for his guilt." ”

Suzuki Shigei understood Suzuki Yoshikane's intentions, put him to death and then lived, he set up Suzuki Yoshikan as the heir is just a helpless move, only one adult heir remains, and now it seems that this young son who is both strong and soft, is a qualified successor.

Just about to refute, Yoshikane Suzuki stopped the conversation and continued: "It's not arrogant, it's not unprepared, first, Noyama Yoshitomo is eager to build the Shikoku Army, and second, I'm looking at the Suzuki clan all over the country, and who else is more suitable for the blue sea." However, according to the military system of the Date family, 250 troops per 10,000 stone are needed, and there are enough iron cannons and gunpowder as standard. In this way, they will not be despised and may be able to win honor for the Zaga people! ”

The father and son reached a unity of opinion, and immediately gathered the leaders of the Saga people, and everyone hurried to Saga Village, wanting to know the leader's idea, whether it was war or peace.

Yoshikashi Suzuki's surrogate father 1510 said it, and the boulder hanging in everyone's hearts was half lowered, and since the news of Hatakeyama's self-determination came, this period of time tormented everyone's nerves. It's not that they're afraid of death, but the disparity in strength is too great, and everyone knows that resistance will lead to death, and who can stand this kind of torture of waiting for death.

Suzuki and his son chose to negotiate peace, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and they all expressed their support for Suzuki Yoshikane's proposal, and only when the Date family was satisfied could they save their lives and keep their territory. Sure enough, as Yoshikan Suzuki expected, Noyama Yoshitomo did not embarrass them, especially after seeing that the military appearance was not weaker than the Date family's standing army, he was even more satisfied and hospitable.

With the support of the political balance, the Shikoku Legion was gradually integrated, and by the end of April, it had been basically preliminarily completed, and more than 10,000 people were performing inside and outside Wada Castle on the shore of Izumi Province.

The **** drill of Hequan Country, coupled with the boiling of the Four Nations Army, Miyoshi Yoshiken was terrified, he mobilized heavy troops in the Awa country, and made a decisive posture of fighting to the death.

Zhengheng's order had already been issued, and Noyama Yoshitomo convened the legion officers to discuss the meeting, in fact, there were only a few people, the corps commander Noyama Masato, his two retainers, Nakamura Asadada and Inoue Shitada, Shimizu Soharu who had just returned from the expedition, and the other two generals Murakami Tsuyuki and Hanabo Masayuki, as well as the second generation of the Saga people, Suzuki Yoshikan, had the honor to attend the meeting.

Murakami was the eldest son of Murakami Mitsuyasu, the leader of the Tsuri Island Navy, and after the "Tsurishima Riot", Murakami had to hand over his eldest son to the Kono clan's important ministers to raise the Toi clan and the Tokuno clan, so he changed his name to the Toju clan. Murakami Toyasu and Mori Yuan were at odds, but Masahiro defeated Mori Motosa in one fell swoop and successfully captured An Yi Country. In this battle, he also repelled Murakami's naval army, which made Murakami Takeyoshi have to stay away from the Seto Inland Sea, and there was no news, and the Noshima Murakami clan declined. The Kurushima Murakami clan surrendered to the Date clan, and with the strength of the Date clan, under the recommendation of the Kurushima Murakami clan, Murakami was able to become the general of the Date family's naval army. Toju changed his name back to his original name Murakami Tsuyuki, sent to Okayama Castle, and when he became an adult, he joined the Date Navy as a general.

Hanafang Masayuki was born in Misasaka Province.,Later, for a period of time under the command of the Ukita Naoya.,Ukita Nao's family rebelled and became a ronin after being beheaded.,Came to Ako Komachi-gun-cho to work.,Was once a relationship with Katsuro Hengxin.,Entered the Date Water Army.。 When Kakuro Hengxin followed Masahiro to Bizen Province to resist the invasion of Niko Harumu, he pretended to be a member of the Hanafang family and infiltrated the checkpoint under the command of Niko Harumusa, but because of this, the Hanafang family was not implicated in the rebellion of the Ukita Naoji family.

To conquer the four countries, the first important naval army, one is from Kurishima Murakami, and was once raised by the Iyo famous family Toi clan and the Tono clan, and is familiar with the domestic situation of Iyo, and the other is older and experienced, so he can learn from each other's strengths, and it is precisely because of these two points that Noyama Yoshitomo begged the two to become his lieutenants.

A topographical map of Shikoku and its surrounding islands and reefs was laid out on the desk, and except for Yoshikane Suzuki, who had seen such a detailed map for the first time, his face was shocked, and the rest of the people looked as if they were not moved in the slightest, which also surprised Yoshikane Suzuki.

Noyama Yichao pointed to the map and said straight to the point: "Where to discuss today as the starting point for landing?" (To be continued.) )
