Chapter 18: The Aftermath (Part II)

"Domain Lord?" Tian Maru Naotashi remained silent, but his heart set off earth-shattering waves. The people of the country who do not want to be the lord of the www.biquge.info are not good people, and the lord who cannot bring wealth to the people is not a good lord, and any Warring States person knows this truth, and anyone who violates this law will be pulled down.

Tamaru Naotada counted the size of the direct collar and subordinate collar with his fingers, although Dukai County was known for its barrenness in Ise Province, but because of its large territory and several ports, according to the Ida family's stone system, it was more than enough to make up 30,000 koku. According to the system of the Date family, the Date family is divided into two systems: internal and external. After the inspection of the land sent by the Date family, Ishitaka issued a security certificate according to the grade of more than 10,000 koku, and became the lord of a feudal domain, and then had the responsibilities and obligations as the lord of the domain, and the most important thing was to be able to get the blessing of the Date family, and any attempt to encroach on the domain of the domain was all an act of provocation to the Date family, even if the territory was seized by the enemy, the descendants of the feudal lord only had to bring the certificate to restore the original domain.

Of course, there was a certain amount of autonomy, but the lords had to send their heirs, their main sons, to Osaka Castle as hostages, and this was a system of alternating Hajj. And the feudal lord was not allowed to build a castle at will, but for all this, Tamaru Naotada took it for granted.

Seeing that his father was silent and his eyes flickered a little, Tanaka Naomasa knew that his father had some intentions, and the reason why he was fueling the flames was to advocate directly attaching himself to the Date family by bypassing Kitabatake's Gukyo, and it was his personal purpose. If his father could listen to him, he would not want to do something rebellious. Even in the troubled times of the Warring States, the cannibalism of father and son is incomprehensible, not to mention the alternation of the old and the new, especially under the absolute general trend of the Date family, more factors of loyal ministers and righteous people must be considered.

Tian Maru Naoma saw his father's intentions, and breathed a sigh of relief, but if he really couldn't say that his father would abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he would not let his father do anything wrong, you must know that in the Tian Maru family, Tian Maru Naotaka is not the only one in charge, the Tian Maru clan is the concubine of the Kitabatake clan, and it is also after more than 50 years of efforts of three or four generations, more than ten branches. When the time comes, Naomasa Tamaru will say that he will move all the people to admonish his father together, but of course that is the result he least wants to see.

Once, Naomasa Tamaru had to take the last step, he had to hand over a lot of power in his family to the people, which was something he didn't want to see, after all, the future head of the Tamaru clan was Naomasa Tamaru, who didn't want more power.

Tian Maru Naoma straightened his waist, his momentum was compelling, and he continued: "Father, the Hokuhata Imperial Palace's river mussel competition plan, good fisherman profits, now Wise Mitsuhide is defeated quickly, the situation is completely beyond his control, and the constraints on us are also weak to the extreme, it is the opportunity for the Tian Maru clan to break free from the shackles, and ask my father to decide?" ”

Tian Maru Naotada lowered his head and sighed, and asked, "In the future, who will be the master of ups and downs?" ”

Naomasu Tamaru laughed and said: "Father, the political situation in the world is changing rapidly and is changeable, who dares to say that he will be able to dominate the world in the end, in fact, everyone has hope, but no one has hope?" How majestic is Hosokawa Xueguan, the half-general in the past, not the end of the defeat of the dead clan, the leader of the three good Changqing is the king and hegemon, where are his descendants now? ! We care about these things in vain, useless, only strategy is the most important. ”

Tian Maru Naotada hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, "What is the strategy?" ”

Tamaru Naomasa replied: "First of all, we have to break free from the Kitabatake clan, this is the top priority for me to do now, as long as I break free from the shackles, it will give the people up and down the Tamaru clan a feeling that they are no longer vassals of the Kitabatake clan, this is the most important thing." In the future, even if someone wants to return to the Kitabatake clan, it will be opposed by the majority of the people, because it is not only a matter of dignity, but also a matter of vital interests, which violates the interests of the majority of people. Breaking free from the shackles, no matter whether the Date family rises or falls, the Tamaru clan can occupy a place in the new era, and there is no need to take the choice of the Kitabatake clan as the choice of the Tamaru clan, I think this is the most important issue. ”

A look of surprise flashed in Tamaru's eyes. He knew his son quite well, although he was not a mediocre person, but he was not an outstanding person, at most he was the lord of the city, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make such a clear suggestion. However, he did not expose it on the spot, in fact, what Tamaru Naomasa said today, he had already said that if he could attach himself to the Date family and achieve a foreign domain, he would also be worthy of his father and grandfather's pioneering work, and he would be able to look at him after his death.

Tian Maru Naozhong pondered for a moment and said, "Naoma, when the meeting is held later, you will tell everyone about the suggestion just now and see everyone's reaction." ”

Naomaru knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks, he knew that this was an opportunity given to him by his father to improve his reputation in the Tian Maru clan, as long as he could grasp it, he would completely gain a firm foothold, and in this time of change, stability is a very important thing.

Tian Maru Naomasa left, Tian Maru Naozhong's face suddenly gloomy, he clapped his hands, and a ninja appeared in front of him, ordering: "You go and follow the young master, see who he went to meet?" Tian Maru Naoma Bu Ming has been a blockbuster, Tian Maru Naotaka will feel sincerely happy, although there was some coercive tone just now, but as a father is still willing to see his heir can come out. But if someone is behind it, it's a different story.

No matter how Tamaru Naotada, Naomasa's father and son repeatedly, the general direction was set, and after unifying the opinions of the Tamaru clan, they officially rebelled against the Kitabatake clan.

Tamaru Castle Town.

Hearing the bad news, Muzo Guzheng threw the sword to the ground with a resentful face, never thought that Tian Maru Naozhong would not want to repay the favor, and he would actually want to rebel against the Kitabatake clan, his face was full of resentment, and said: "This Tian Maru Naoloya, a despicable villain, actually wants to rebel against the Kitabatake clan, isn't he afraid that all the Kitabatake clan will attack him?" ”

Mu Kangxin, who accompanied him all the way from the wooden city, carefully picked up the knife and admonished in a low voice: "The lord doesn't have to be angry, now we should think about what to do next?" ”

As long as Naotadada falls to Okochi Castle, he will be able to gain greater status and power in Tamaru Castle as a son-in-law, and perhaps change his name and surname as the adopted son of his son-in-law to become the lord of Tamaru Castle. didn't expect that the ambition in his heart had not yet been realized, so he gave Mu Zaozheng a slap in the face, and asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

Mu Kangxin said with a wry smile: "Tian Maru is against his eyes, although he will not fight to death on his face, but he has already died in his heart, and he will definitely be alienated from us, at least he will not have the current treatment." What's more, even if you stay in Tian Maru City any longer, you will be under the fence, and you will never regain the majesty of the past. ”

If he couldn't take Tamaru Naotakada to Okochi Castle with him, he might not be even more good-looking in the Kitabatake Gunke, so he looked up and asked, "What do you say should be done?" ”

Mu Kangxin glanced up at Mu Zheng and did not speak.

Wooden Gu Zheng was in his heart, in fact, after Mu Yasumobu learned about the intentions of Kitabatake's teaching, the two had a deep talk, and also made the worst plan, if there is no way out, the only way to follow Akamatsu Manyu to the black, anyway, it is all death, it is better to gamble vigorously, maybe the bet wins. But most people's psychology is fragile, no one wants to go to a dead end, and Mu Zheng is a coward, he doesn't want to. However, Mu Kangxin recently told Muzo Guzheng in a silent way that if he wants to win, he can only fight back and die and come back to life.

Muzo Guzheng was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Now that Tian Maru Castle is united, even if he kidnaps Tian Ma Naotada and kidnaps him to Okochi City, it can't change the hearts of Tian Ma Castle, not to mention that Tian Ma Naotada's knees have three children?" ”

Mu Yasumobu knew that Muzoku was cowardly, he shook his head and sighed: "My lord, now that Tian Maru Castle can't stay, and Okochi Castle can't go to Okochi Castle, can you only survive by going to Kameyama City and surrendering to the Date family?" "Tamaru Naotada, Naomasa father and son don't know the path of the Date Army, but they still know a thing or two, the main and deputy generals of the Date family who entered the Ise Province lived in Kameyama Castle and Wooden Castle respectively, and Timber Sho Masanai was the owner of the log castle, and he went to Wooden Castle to throw himself into the net, naturally there was no good fruit to eat, and only by taking refuge in Kameyama Castle could he survive.

Actually, what Makiyasu didn't know was that Matsushima Hengxin of the wooden castle was one of the earliest retainers of Date Masahiro, and Miyazawa Heihachi's high status was not from the core of the Date family for the old man of the Date family, but it was indeed the best way for the wooden furniture to defect to Miyazawa Heihachi.

……

More and more bad news came, and Kitabatake Gujiao was wandering, in a bad mood, and he seemed to be restless. Tamaru Naotada's rebellion, the disappearance of Kizuzo Gumasa, everything is a sign that the Kitabatake clan is betraying and falling apart, but he is already too busy to take care of himself at this time, but he can't take care of Tamaru Naotada and Kizo Gumasa's face.

Heihachi Miyazawa, who is called "The Butcher", has already achieved fame, and he may have to make a little face, so he won't be too ugly.

Matsushima Hengxin has followed Date Masaki to fight in the north and south since he was a teenager, and there is no merit and hard work, and before leaving, Matsunehiro once mentioned to him, how much to fight, how much will be rewarded to him after the war? Matsushima Hengshin heard Date Masaki's promise so desperately, crossed the malicious Iga Province, defeated Mizoo Shigeru Dynasty overnight, and then quickly annexed Ichishi County, Iino County, and part of Iitaka County and Taki County, which can be said to engulf all the best places in Minami Ise.

In this way, it poses a huge problem to Kitabatake, whether to drive out Matsushima Hengxin or not? For this reason, Kitabatake Gujiao is in a dilemma, and he is at a loss, and it is at this time that the bad news of Tamaru Naotada's betrayal and the disappearance of Kizo Gumasa comes, how not to make him angry.
