Chapter 7 Nagato's Exploration
The position of deputy general, it would be a lie to say that he was not impressed, but Masahiro is self-aware, once he accepts the position of deputy general granted by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, I am afraid that he will be attacked by the neighbors immediately, and Miyoshi Nagakei will also cross Harima Province and step directly into Date Territory. Masahiro came from the Fujiwara Yamayin Ryu Branch, and was born from a low background, and there were many people who were more noble than him in the Sengoku Daimyo.
If he becomes a deputy general, how can these Warring States daimyo be convinced, once they unite on this ground, the Date family, which has just stopped fighting, will be in turmoil and unable to extricate themselves. To get an illusory and useless vice-general position, the Date family will be overturned in an instant. Although Hosokawa Fujitaka's mention of yì almost made Zhengheng unable to keep his heart. But alas, he didn't catch this big fish.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru deserves to be the general of the expedition!
Masahiro couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, he always thought highly of himself, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Hosokawa Fujitaka obviously deceived him as a child, and now he was not even in danger of himself, so he first used the temptation of the deputy general to almost make the Date family get into trouble, and find a lot of enemies.
Zhengheng glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was no longer silent, and said slowly with a deep groan: "Lord Hosokawa, I have shallow knowledge, I am soft-spoken, and I am from a low background, how can I deserve the position of this deputy general." Recommend a person below, it is rumored that the first bow of Tokaido takes Imagawa Osabu Daisuke, who was born noble, is a famous family of the Kawachi Genji descendant Hachiman Taro Yoshika, is the same clan of the shogun, and is located in the east coast of the Junyuan Sanyi area, and his subordinates can minister good generals and have many opportunities, and the government is clear and harmonious, known as the title of benevolent lord, and has reached an alliance with Kai Takeda and Odawara Hojo, and has no worries. ”
Now all over the world. The only one who can confront Miyoshi Changqing is Imagawa Yoshimoto, who capsized in the gutter. He was of noble birth. He is also of the same clan as the Ashikaga shogunate, and serves as a deputy general, even if he is replaced by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, I am afraid that no one will say anything.
Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned when he heard that Masahiro insisted on refusing, and offered to give Imagawa Yoshimoto the position of deputy general. If Imagawa Yoshimoto is willing to serve as a deputy general, I am afraid that Ashikaga Yoshiki has already sent an envoy to declare, I am afraid that Imagawa Yoshimoto will be able to hope for Shu, and his ambitions are not limited to this. The Ashikaga clan, the same origin, has been swept away. Therefore, Imagawa Yoshimoto hopes that one day he will be able to enter Beijing to assist the government and take power.
It was precisely because Date Masahiro came from a humble background, and once he agreed to take the position of deputy general, he would inevitably be firmly bound to the chariot of the Muromachi shogunate, obey the orders of the shogun, and contribute the greatest strength to the shogunate, and dare not have a sense of transgression.
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto was different, and based on the pride of being noble, he was determined to popularize aristocratic culture in the world, and he was determined to make the fragrance of aristocratic culture permeate the whole country of Suruga. He instituted various laws and regulations and implemented them in the private sector. The people admired him very much, and they called him benevolent.
Such a person who tries to be benevolent and virtuous in the world. No one in power would willingly let him be his deputy, not to mention that the current shogunate is in turmoil, and the majesty of the general is swept away, who knows if Imagawa Yoshimoto will replace him.
Of course, these truths, Hosokawa Fujitaka can't pour out, knowing that there is nothing to do, insisting on letting Date Masahiro take the position of deputy general is just self-inflicted humiliation, and as an additional head of the Kibi guardian is even more chicken, it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.
Seeing that the meeting was embarrassed for a while, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa had nothing to say for a while, so they continued: "I heard that the general Zhengyi is in danger of living under the fence, and the foreign ministers will never sit idly by, so we will send thirty iron cannons and ten pairs of bronze armor. What does Hosokawa-sama think? ”
The Date family is really rich. Iron cannons first appeared in Kishu more than ten years ago, and they became popular in an extremely rapid time. Since the technology of iron cannon was still a monopoly technology at that time, and the monopoly brought high prices, when Oda Nobunaga used iron cannons on a large scale in history, Kishu, Sakaijin, and Omi Kuniyu Village, which mainly produced iron cannons, were all in his territory, so he could afford to be equipped with iron artillery troops that could shake the world.
The Date family is indeed not wronged, Fukiya Town has already produced iron cannons from imitation iron cannons to assembly lines a few years ago, and the monthly output has reached more than 50 rods, and if it is proficient, it can be improved to 70 or 80 rods, which can make the Date army affordable. When Masahiro sent a letter to Tsuda Soda, he intended to allocate 10 to 15 iron cannons every month to be sold by Tennoji House, and of course the main purpose was to build Okayama Castle.
Hearing the iron cannon and bronze armor, Hetian Yuzheng's eyes lit up. Now that the shogunate is in ruins, it takes countless money and equipment to form an army to defend the shogun, and thirty iron cannons are enough to organize a hundred-strong iron cannon team, which plays a decisive role in a thousand-man battle, and is enough to protect the safety of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
After Hosokawa Fujitaka heard this, he knew that he really took these iron cannons and bronze armor, then the general of Seiyi owed Date Masahiro a favor, and he knew that this was a one-time deal, and once he accepted the iron cannons and copper armor, then there would be no next time.
Hosokawa Fujitaka stared at Date Masahiro, coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what conditions Lord Yi Zhengzhong has, so he agreed to help the shogunate restore the glory of the shogunate?" ”
Zhengheng obviously didn't expect Hosokawa Fujitaka to speak so bluntly, obviously a little anxious, or too young?! Zhengheng thought so, but he didn't know that he was one year younger than Hosokawa Fujitaka, and he looked like an elder.
Zhengheng frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Hosokawa is so loyal and diligent in state affairs, it is really admirable under the subordinates, not in cold blood, it is really the Date family surrounded by strong enemies, do not hide the two, when resisting Maori Yuan a few years ago, our army lost nearly thirty percent of the casualties, almost collapsed, and finally God blessed, Maori Yuan was the first to collapse, and my family escaped, but I never thought that Izumo Niko Haruha raised an army of 30,000 or 40,000 heroes to set foot in Bizen Province, and at the request of Uragami Sokeiyuki, to rescue Bizen Province, The battle of the Tenjin Mountain Castle was fierce and fierce, and Urakami Zongjing died on the battlefield, and my family suffered a lot of losses again. Now it is still in the war stage with Maori and Nizi, and Maori and Nizi are very likely to come back in winter, and they are really powerless. ”
After listening to Masahiro's description, Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but glance at Yumasa Wada. They didn't know the true situation of the fierce battle between the Date family and Mori Motosho and Niko Haruhisa, and Wada Yumasa, as a Koga Ryuta, was just some rumors circulating outside about the Date family, but they didn't know how much the Date family had lost.
According to their ideas, if they want to defeat Maori Yuan and Nizi Haruhisa, it is obviously impossible to win as easily as in reality, and they must have paid a heavy price, and today they listened to Zhengheng's introduction with their own ears, only to know that the Date family is now killing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 themselves, and the territory has been expanded to the limit, and it really takes a long time to recuperate.
Hosokawa Fujitaka heard Masahiro's refusal and knew that something could not be done, so he stopped persuading and directly asked Masahiro to leave. Zhengheng didn't keep the two historical celebrities, but just looked at the backs of the two lightly, and didn't have too many thoughts in his heart.
Zhengheng heard the report, and when Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa left, he brought thirty iron cannons and ten pairs of bronze armor, and sneered: "I thought that if I didn't bend my waist for five buckets of rice, it turned out that there were times when heroes were short of breath." On second thought, the decline of the shogunate goes without saying, and even the shogun of the Shogun needs to be sent under the fence, and if the people's morale is allowed to be weakened, no matter how powerful the force is, it will not be able to quell the troubled times.
Even the shogunate was so bad, and the Imperial Palace was even more depressing, and it is said that the walls of the palace were crumbling, surrounded by bamboo fences and roses, and the emperor's family lived in a dilapidated palace. The territory of the royal family is all local, and there is a war in the place, and the imperial court has long been out of harvest.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhengheng became diligent to the emperor, in fact, his attitude towards the emperor was affected by the endless television in his previous life, and he did not have any respect for the emperor's family, and even had a trace of disgust, but when he came to this time and space, he understood that supporting the imperial family was in line with realism. Zhengheng needed a righteous name of the diligent emperor, so he came up with the idea of paying tribute to the royal family.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa left Date Ryry, Mashiro summoned Kusama Shisi Guard and asked him to spread the news that Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa had come to Date Ryō, and added fuel to the vinegar The most important general of Seiyi deliberately reset the Nagato Question.
In order to prepare for the attack of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty army, the Renkura shogunate sent Hojo Soyori to take up the post in the second year of Kenji (1276), overseeing the local administrative, military, and judicial powers, and the post was succeeded by the Hojo clan. The Ashikaga clan fell, the Kamakura shogunate perished, and the Hojo clan died in name.
In just two or three days, the news that Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa had entered and left Tsurusho together spread throughout Kyoto, and people speculated and inquired about what was the reason why the general sent Hosokawa Fujitaka and the only armed leader who could be pulled out to Date Ryō. Some of the people who were very sensitive to politics quickly noticed something unusual from this strange meeting, and the rumors that Date Masaki was true or false made people connect Nagato's probe with Date Masato's true and false Ita.
New news is popping up all the time, and it is being disseminated and talked about all the time. Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general of the expedition, suffered a dumb loss, and did not dare to spread the matter of letting the deputy general go, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it, keep silent, and even acquiesced to the authenticity of the rumors.
Rumors circulated in Jinnai, and Miyoshi Changqing sneered when he heard it. Ouchi Yoshicho, the actual ruler of Nagato and Zhoufang, listened to Nagato's probing, and a haze flashed across his face. The descendant of the dignified Prince of Baekje Guolin was brushed down by the son of a local tyrant. How could Yoshicho Ouchi not mind, he didn't have the ability to do it himself.
