Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Death of Maori Yuan (Part II)
People's emotions can be chaotic and caught off guard. The always cautious political balance will have a relationship with the marauded wife of the palace scenery Sheng Masamu Tsuchihashi on the desk in the study.
The Tsuchihashi clan was not the type he liked, and the reason why he plundered it was more because of his victor mentality at that time, and at that time he was just a member of the country that had just dominated the two counties of Addo and Teraka. Gong Jingsheng has now surpassed his brother and become a direct retainer of Zhengheng, and the humble Gong Jingsheng is silent about what happened to the Tsuchiqiao clan because he is afraid of Zhengheng. Even if Zhengheng's conscience finds out and returns to the Tuqiao clan, will Gong Jingsheng really dare to welcome back the Tuqiao clan?!
When he was humble, Zhengheng plundered the Tsuchihashi clan as a victor and took her as his concubine, and when he was strong, the status of the Tsuchihashi clan was even more unbearable. In fact, her status in Tsurushou Castle is even worse than Saki, who already has a child.
The only thing that the Tsuchihashi clan can do with her status is her body, and she finally got the rain and dew of Zhengheng when she let go, and the only thing she can hope for now is to be able to give birth to a son like Saki to protect her future.
Zhengheng is strong, not only externally, but also internally, his harem is many and complicated, but no one has a hand to cover the sky and dare to make small moves in front of him.
The man's world is a Shura field that advocates force, and in it, there is only one thing a woman can do, which is to make compromises, have children, and let the next generation conquer and rule this world. If Mrs. Tsuchihashi is like this, can other women be an exception, but they can't let go for a while.
The affairs of the Tsuchihashi clan are just the spice of life, and if there are more, they will be tired. Men need to think about the big picture. After the political balance is relaxed, the consideration is how to use the intricate relationships within the disagreement. In this way, it is in his best interest.
A country of disobedience that favors the Date family. It is the greatest benefit for the Date family, who are opposite each other across the sea, and if this goal cannot be achieved, then the country of Saki will almost be in chaos, and a chaotic country of Saki will inevitably restrain most of the energy of the Ten Rivers.
In foreign wars, Zhengheng is known for outwitting and winning.
At the age of seventeen, Miyoshi Changqing, who was able to succeed in Shangluo, was known for his bravery and ruthlessness. At the age of eighteen, Miyoshi Nagakei was dissatisfied with the fact that he was not allocated the territory of his father's lifetime, and led 2,500 men into Kyoto, and finally succeeded, and the shogun at the time, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, feared Miyoshi Nagakei, so he fled to Omi. At the age of twenty-six, he raised the anti-flag. The lord Hosokawa Harumoto and the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru were expelled, and in the same year in the Battle of Eguchi, the father of Mrs. Miyoshi, Masacho Miyoshi, was killed in battle, and Miyoshi Chokei began to dominate the Gyeonggi region.
Miyoshi Changqing's domination of Gyeonggi relied on his three younger brothers Awa's Miyoshi Shikyu, Awaji's Azu Dongyasu, and Shihe Ichikuen, and the reason why Miyoshi Shikyu, Anzhai Dongkang, and Shihe Ichicun unconditionally supported Miyoshi Changqing was based on their own interests, and more importantly, the latter regarded Miyoshi Changqing as the closest person. When their father died, the eldest Miyoshi Changkeifang was ten years old, Miyoshi Shixiu was five years old, and Anzhai Dongkang was three years old. Ten rivers are in infancy.
Once the Ten Rivers and One Existence are tied up in the country, Miyoshi Changkei's Kinai hegemony will lose its most important corner. Forcing the latter to distract will give his enemies a chance to breathe.
When the small wealthy clan was thinking about how to survive in the gap between the powers, he did not hesitate to survive, and now, the Date family has completed the regional hegemony, sitting on the four kingdoms of Jibei, and the stone is five or six hundred thousand stones, and what to consider is how to see the intricate general trend.
Miyoshi Changqing seems to be out of reach, and history has never only circled between and Shikoku, but the history of the old time and space has long been completely disrupted by political balances, who can guarantee that Miyoshi Changqing will not suddenly change the strategic focus and suppress the growing Date family.
In the old time and space, the reason why Miyoshi Chokei only circled between and Shikoku was that and Shikoku had enough space to move him, and secondly, when he was in his prime, there were no strong opponents in the neighbors who could threaten him.
It was already the ninth year of Eiroku (i.e., 1566) when Mori Moto annexed the Niko clan, and the time when Oda Nobunaga played the "tenxia Buwu" was in the tenth year of Etoroku (i.e., 1567), and a few years earlier, Miyoshi Nagakei, who had lost his brothers and eldest son, returned to the West in endless loss and loneliness.
Now, with the strong rise of the political balance, Kibi Shikoku, which is closer to than when the old time and space Mori Yuan was strong, is now the time when Miyoshi Chokei is at its peak, and the two will inevitably clash in various fields. Even if Zhengheng tries to avoid direct conflict with Miyoshi Changqing, Miyoshi Changqing will not be at ease to continue his battle for hegemony in Jinai under the watchful eye of his strong neighbors.
Fight with the sky, and the fun is endless! With struggle, the fun is endless! Fight with people, the fun is endless! Zheng Heng suddenly remembered this misinterpreted famous sentence that was used by the world to discredit someone, the original text, Zheng Heng is not very good, this sentence gave him endless motivation.
People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. Since God arranged for him to come to this world at this time, he could not live up to God's arrangement and make the world tremble under his feet. After figuring it out, Zhengheng threw the piece of paper that remained between his fingers into the candlestick.
Early the next morning, Miyahara Masashiro, Ishikawa Hissataka, and Hosokawa Tsushimasa took the mission of Mashiro to prepare for the hospitality of the envoys of the people from Sanshu, Uematsu Shimasa and Aono Shigeki, and Masaki and his party of 350 cavalry soldiers walked out of Tsurushou Castle and marched towards Matsuyama Castle along the road that raised dust.
The group's outfit didn't look like they were going to war, and Masahiro didn't wear armor, only a light-colored kimono, but when it came to patrolling the territory, the guard seemed to be a little too strict. Due to the earliest implementation of the sword hunting order in Bei China, most of the samurai of the Date family traveled with swords in the country, and a small number of ronins who marched around the world also needed to report to the Shinjokan at the intersection after entering Bei China, otherwise they would be imprisoned as spies.
A wandering monk saw the group walking by, and asked a farmer who was ploughing and resting, "Is the lord of the kingdom going falconry?" "Falconry was very popular in the ancient Wa Kingdom, and it was already one of the main amusements of the aristocracy in the Heian period, and in the samurai period, the samurai quickly fell in love with this activity, and the profession of raising eagles appeared, and Honda Masanobu, the "Tokugawa wisdom bag", was born as an eagle craftsman.
The farmer looked up at the face of the wandering monk, frowned, and recently posted a notice saying that there was an enemy traitor disguised as a wandering monk, and everyone should be careful, obviously this person in front of him was quite suspicious. However, the honest farmer still answered the wandering monk's question and said, "It seems to be, but I haven't heard that the lord of the country likes falcons, so he may have come out to inspect the territory!" Ignoring the wandering monks, he took up the newly issued copper hoe from the spring ploughing and went to the field, for the farmer to wait for the land is more important than anything else.
The wandering monk glanced at the farmer's back, touched a short knife hidden in his arms, then let go, and said to himself, "Forget it!" "You can disappear into the crowd.
After the group walked out of Heshou Street, they rested for a while on the Woniu Mountain on the bank of the Gaoliang River after about a mile of progress. Matsuyama Castle, which was destroyed a year ago, was supposed to be rebuilt to become the new main castle of the Date family. Due to the rapid expansion of the Date family, the status of Matsuyama Castle became irrelevant, and the scale of construction was greatly reduced, and it was renovated, which was inferior to Matsuyama Castle in the original Sho period, and at least the castle tower was much smaller.
The status of the main city of Matsuyama Castle gradually declined. Of course, Masahiro didn't come here to take a break and relive the glory of the past dynasties, and the current Matsuyama Castle is the largest boot camp and refined salt warehouse in the Date family. Since the implementation of the sword hunting order, the pace of the separation of the soldiers and peasants of the Date family has become bigger and bigger, and Matsuyama Castle has nearly 5,000 samurai, ronin, and local samurai from Sanbei who are reorganized and trained.
Reorganization and training required a lot of money and food, Konishi Risa's first 200 quintals of refined salt had been shipped to Kinai to test the waters, Tennojiya's iron cannon business gradually boomed, and the sea trade was hit by Murakami Takeyoshi, but the land trade volume improved greatly after the checkpoint was lifted.
Nearly 5,000 samurai who were liberated from the land were reorganized with the Hachishibei and expanded into the new Yashibei, which will become a standing army after the complete separation of the soldiers and peasants of the Date family. In Zhengheng's assumption, according to the allocation of 500 people per 10,000 stones, he could form a standing army of between 25,000 and 30,000 people, of which 10,000 standing troops would be stationed in various places, and 15,000 to 20,000 people would go out as the main force.
Fifteen to 20,000 people may not seem like a lot for a daimyo who sits in the land of Shikoku, but it has already looted the local samurai in the land of Shikoku, wiped out the middle class entrenched between the peasants and the daimyo, and the local samurai have squeezed into the samurai class, and the daimyo's dominance over the territory has been greatly enhanced.
To complete the complete separation of soldiers and peasants, it is still beyond the strength of the current Date family, and this new group of 5,000 people is already the maximum ability of the Date family. The 5,000 people did not come to Matsuyama Castle to enjoy it, the training was very hard, and almost every day was spent in tiring training.
In addition to training every day, it is brainwashing, and recruits who can successfully spend two months in the training camp will get their first salary and become a full-fledged samurai, and if they want to improve their salary, they will need to get it on the battlefield. Only by obtaining a high reward can the soldiers concentrate on the battle, the parts of the firewood, rice, oil and salt are troubled, and they do not worry about the death and wounded in battle, and they can fight abroad for a long time.
Since he had to compete with all kinds of powerful enemies on a wider battlefield, a strong and powerful standing army would be the most important force for political and balance, which was why he came to Matsuyama Castle early this morning. Ascending Matsuyama Castle and looking at the army under the mountain, Zhengheng's fist was clenched tightly.
The arrival of the Kusama Shibei brought a news that I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, and the news that made Mashiro very shocked: Mori Moto, dead. (To be continued......)
