It is curious that Foreign Minister Honda Masanbu and Minister of the Interior Minami Mitsubo Amami, Tokugawa Ieyasu's two great internal and external strategists, would go to the opposite side because of the dispute between the Buddha when they were young. Zheng Heng found two names from the list that made him familiar, Nanguang Fang Tianhai's current name is called Suifeng, Honda Masanobu is righteous and bright, he does not change his name, he frowned slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look, as if he was looking for something lost in the depths of his memory. Suddenly, he snapped the folding fan in his hand and sneered: "Honda is faithful, with the wind, interesting, interesting!" However, Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Enryakuji Temple came to such a high standard, and it was so difficult to choose, so it was really difficult to send it? ”

Enryakuji Temple is powerful on paper, look at the list of names that have decided Enryakuji Temple and have always fought to the death, all of them are heroic on one side, Rokkaku Yoshiken, Asakura Yoshikei, Asai Nagamasa, Saito Yoshiryu, Oda Nobunaga, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Shingen, and Nagao Keitora are all on the side of Enryakuji Temple, but what is the use.

The army on the books of Enryakuji Temple was not 400,000 but always 200,000 or 300,000, which was only a lot more than the Eastern Army at the time of the Onin Rebellion, but how many troops were actually able to reach Kyoto? How many of them were able to go into battle? Among the above-mentioned Warring States daimyo, I am afraid that only Rokkaku Yoshiken and Asai Nagamasa will send soldiers and horses to help in the battle, and the rest of them are at most waving their flags and shouting for their lives.

Enryakuji Temple can get its hands on no more than 100,000 people, and this is also in addition to the soldiers and horses mobilized by the six sects of the southern capital of Yamato Province, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple mobilized 450,000 people when it launched an attack on Miyoshi Chokei at the most, and now I am afraid that there are no less than 670,000 people, among which there are more Hatakeyama, Miyoshi, Suzuki and reinforcements from Hokuriku and Tokaido, after more than half a year of training, it is no longer the rabble that was beaten by thousands of people in Hanoi last year.

Enryakuji is not a match for Ishiyama Honganji in the short term, but in the medium to long term. The choice of Ishiyama Honganji Temple is really a thing that outweighs the loss, originally the Tsuyomune expelled the samurai in Kaga Province to establish the Buddha Kingdom has already made a big fuss, if it is not for the fact that it is not about himself, but now he is making a big move in Kinai and wants to copy Kaga Province, which has caused public anger. Otherwise, none of Rokkaku Yoshiken, Asakura Yoshikei, Asai Nagamasa, Saito Yoshiryu, Oda Nobunaga, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Shingen, and Nagao Keitora are on the side of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which is enough to explain everything.

Ishiyama Honganji can be said to have become the target of public criticism, if the Date family chooses Ishiyama Honganji, they must be prepared to be the enemy of the samurai all over the world, even if it has been subdued by the Date Domain, there will be people who take advantage of this repeat, it seems that it is better to strengthen the defense of Harima Country, and to step up the attack on Tango, Tamba and other places, and push the front to the front.

Interrupting Masahiro's thoughts was the head of the Okayama Police Agency, the Kusama General Division. As the head of the National Police Agency, Kusama has 5,000 paramilitary police forces under his command on paper, but in reality he can only control Okayama and the nearby Bizen and Bichu countries. The chiefs of the police forces in the rest of the localities are directly under Date Mashiro, and are not under his direct jurisdiction, and they are considered to have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and there is no relationship between the monarch and the minister, and the police force has the task of collecting local information in addition to assisting the permanent army to maintain local law and order. Kusama is from the intelligence department, although it has been disbanded, and many members have been reorganized into the police system. At the same time, due to its particularity, the police system has the function of intelligence collection.

Masahiro knew that Kusama Soji had nothing to do. Won't come to bother him. Even if it's an ordinary thing, it's a matter of looking for Noyama Masachao and others first, and categorically coming over directly. He put down the two lists in his hand and called Kusama into his study.

Kusama reported: "My lord, early this morning, a Tang ship landed at Okayama Port. More than ten people got off the boat and stayed in the house, and the owner of the house, Imai Munehisa, personally entertained her, which looked very unusual, and Imai Sohisa respected her very much. "Imai Munehisa is a wealthy merchant alongside Tennoji Yatsuda Soda. Oda Nobunaga, who was engaged in the iron cannon business and financial industry in Sakai, was historically close to Oda Nobunaga, who entered Beijing, and gained power to serve as a mediator between him and Sakai, and also served as the tea head of Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, and was known as the three master craftsmen of the world together with Sensho Yi and Tsuda Mune. Last year, when the Miyoshi clan split, Miyoshi Shikyu and Tokawa Ichiku burned down Sakai Port, plundered ships and returned to Awa Province, resulting in the destruction of Sakai's century-old foundation, a large number of casualties, and many merchants left their hometowns to travel to various places.

Zhengheng heard Tang Chuan, and thought of the Ming Dynasty envoy Chen Keyuan, who had just left a few days ago, and was a little interested, he knew that the general secretary of Kusama would not be untargeted, and there must be some hidden secrets in it, and asked: "Tell me carefully, who are these people?" ”

Kusama didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "The minister originally learned about this because of the matter of the Tang ship, but the previous Ming envoy only realized that it was the minister's dereliction of duty, and the minister did not dare to slack off, and issued a document to the police stations, police stations and other institutions in various places, so that they could pay attention to the foreign ships and personnel. This Tang ship flew pigeons to pass the book from Xiaguan into the sea, and the minister began to pay attention to this matter, a Tang ship was originally a normal thing, and the minister didn't care about it, but he still let the police stations along the way pay a little attention. Early this morning, after the Tang ship anchored and landed, someone reported that they all spoke Tang language, and it should be Ming people, a total of twelve people, of which one woman was their leader, and the remaining eleven men were her escorts and so on. ”

Masahiro's face was expressionless, he knew that Kusama's general secretary told such a long content was nothing more than to show merit, and at the same time, it was also to offset the merits, and the fact that the envoy entered Okayama Port that day only realized that it alarmed everyone in the Date family, and the Hattori, Tozawa, and the police system all felt the anger from Masahiro. Kusama only provided a simple piece of information, and did not make any subjective judgments. Analysis and judgment shows that it is the work of political balance, and he cannot overstep the master's authority.

After a long time, Zheng Heng finally had his own satisfactory answer, his brows furrowed tightly, obviously he thought of the intention of the visitor, in fact, when the envoy came with a banner, he had a premonition that this matter was not over, and he never thought about how fast it would come. He turned back to Kusama and said, "What do you think?" ”

From the establishment to the development of the Okayama Police Department, the Kusama General Department has matured and stabilized, and at the same time, his thinking ability has also become much stronger, and his ability to analyze problems from intelligence and thus draw conclusions has also been greatly enhanced. He cleared his throat. Organized some language, and said: "The background of the merchant is complicated, but it is still possible to sort out the way from it, among which the Tennoji House originally came from the temple, and now it is the royal merchant of the family, which means that there is no need to run the merchant anymore." Konishiya sells salt, and this Naya was famous for having many sea ships when it was in Sakai Port, but again, the losses in last year's Sakai Port Incident were quite large, and almost all of the sea ships were taken away by the Miyoshi Army. In other words, the relationship between Naya and Heto is very good, which means that the person who came is the real power of Hirado. ”

Kusama almost didn't say that the person was an important member of the Wako group, but the analysis was very reasonable, and Zhengheng said with a solemn face: "What you said is good, and what you have done is not bad." I know about this, who is the woman in the lead? ”

Seeing the praise, Kusama's head secretary finally let go of half of the frustration in his heart, and replied: "Back to the lord, according to our plainclothes police report, this person is a woman about twenty years old, as for the identity is not clear for the time being, and the purpose of his coming here is not clear. It's just that Imai Munehisa, who knows Naya, respects him very much. Call her the Red Lady, where does this Red Lady come from? It is not known yet, but the minister is already deployed, and as long as they show their heads, the minister will create a fight. ”

When Masahiro heard Kusama's plan to create an incident to arrest an entourage, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly remembered the fishing law enforcement in his previous life. He did not object to this matter, and said: "Be careful in this matter." ”

Kusama answered, his face showing joy, and he withdrew.

As soon as the envoy left with his front foot, the Japanese came with his hind foot. It's a coincidence, is it really a coincidence? Zheng Heng expressed his suspicions, I am afraid that these robbers are stepping on their feet, and they have their purpose, Wang Zhiwen is about to be killed, these people came by such a coincidence, and the purpose is not pure.

Wako,Zhengheng will always think of something that shouldn't be thought of whenever it comes to Wako,The original meaning of the Wako mentioned in this article is different from the Wako searched in Baidu,The narrow sense of the Wako in this article refers to the thieves pretended to be the Ming people who smuggled and plundered at sea。 In this article, the Wako are divided into Wako and Shin Wako.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Enryakuji Temple, and the Wako Group are all not good. Zhengheng knocked on the table, his face was solemn, and he suddenly found that he was involved in the whirlpool, Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Enryakuji Temple, he could still handle it, the Wako group, these people have no scruples.

Zhengheng pondered for a long time, but he didn't seem to find an answer, but he was even more confused. He had considered the problem of the Wako at the beginning of the journey, and the Wako were an opponent that could not be avoided by any traveler who came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty could fight and kill to win the attention of the indignant youth. However, in the Wa Kingdom, the current Wang Zhi Wako clique is still strong, and it is also the eve of collapse, but Zhengheng can't go to break this hornet's nest and get into trouble.

The Hachiman Boat Prohibition Order, which was already the greatest order that Shoyo could do to improve relations with the angry youth, strengthened the strength of the Wangzhi Wako group to a certain extent, and a large number of pirates fled to Hirado to avoid the capture of the Date family and joined the Wangzhi Wako group, so it did not cause a backlash from the Wangzhi Wako group.

Wang Zhi asked about to be killed, and at the juncture, the Ming envoy suddenly appeared in Okayama City, how could he not attract the attention and backlash of Wang Zhi's Japanese group? Zheng Heng didn't know why they came so coincidentally, if they had come a few days earlier, he could have arrested the envoy and sent them as a petition. You must know that this is not Hirado, nor is it Ryukyu, and there are not many Tang people in Okayama, as long as they are secretly arrested, who knows whether the envoy died at sea or fell into the hands of the Wang Zhi Japanese group.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the envoy left, they came. Zheng Heng really can't understand what their intentions are?

After returning to the police headquarters, Kusama immediately began to make arrangements to arrest an entourage of the Japanese group who came to interrogate the incident, he found a few henchmen, discussed it, and summed up a small plan, and they immediately began to arrange it.

The West Street of Okayama Town, where people come and go, Naya is located near the intersection of West Street, and on the opposite side of it is the salt specialty store that started from Konishiya. A chief of operations in the small west room who was observing the movement of the Na house had a bright eye, and said to a fat man: "What should I do next, you know?"

The fat man in a satin suit replied, "Understood! ”

The fat man staggered onto the street, and when he saw the two Tang people, his eyes lit up, blocked their way, bowed his head as if he lowered his head to his waist, and said in a half-baked Tang language: "The Imai boss of the house told the little ones to wait outside for the masters to go out." ”

The two Tang people were originally secretly hiding from the red lady to go out to have fun, and when they heard that it was Imai Sohisa who accepted the house that asked him to block the door at the door, his face suddenly fell, thinking that a little Imai Sojiu dared to block their way, so bold, but he didn't dare to make a big fuss, which angered the red lady, and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

The fat man raised his eyes with a smile and glanced at it, then stepped aside very wisely, and said in a low voice: "Two adults, Boss Imai instructed the little one, as soon as the masters go out, they will come up and take the uncles to the most lively place in Okayama to have fun." ”

The attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, Imai Sohisa really deserved to be a businessman, knew how to invest, the two Tang people glanced at each other, and they both thought that Imai Sohisa was patting their ass, the Red Lady was too high, Imai Sohisa would not get the Red Lady's attention even if he behaved well, but he still greeted them well, although they were the Red Lady's entourage, but they were also a small leader, for Imai Sohisa, they were all unavoidable characters, so they naturally had to be more enveloped.

The two Tang people, who thought that they had guessed the truth, immediately laughed and ordered: "Lead the way ahead!" ”

……

At night, in the house, in the backyard, the red lady who had changed into a daughter's outfit frowned, her charming face showed a look of disgust, and she said coldly: "Wei San and Liu Si, the two of them went to look for Liuying to hold hands, and they were not afraid of rotting their palms, and they came to see me immediately when they came back." ”

The leader of the entourage responded: "Red lady, I don't know when I will go to see Naida Zhengheng?" ”

The red lady smiled: "I should know that I have almost figured it out, and I will post it early tomorrow morning." (To be continued.) )
