Chapter 173: Conquering the Near and Far Fingers (1)
PS: Because there has been no code word for a long time, it is always easy to make mistakes in the names of some people, and some guys who have been killed will be resurrected, considering that this article is a niche in the minority, and it is very difficult to change it back, so I can only say sorry here.
If the name is wrong, the latest chapter shall prevail, in fact, as long as the Miao character is correct, there is no need to remember their name.
There's also the matter of resurrection, well, it's okay to be resurrected when they are resurrected, anyway, they are all small supporting roles, and it is very rare to come out once. If you want to criticize, you should read fantasy novels, anyway, I don't point to this street book to eat, it's just entertainment.
is so ruthless, for the massacre that broke out in Iwami Province, Miyoshi Changqing didn't say anything else after saying a word of ruthlessness, and he didn't even have the slightest sympathy for the victims of the massacre. He had killed many more people than Iwami had died, and of course he hadn't killed so many people at once in such a concentrated manner.
In troubled times, there must be troubled times, and killing people is not such a great thing in troubled times. Killing was happening everywhere, but thousands of people were killed at once, which still made Miyoshi Changqing break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect Date Mashiro to have such a ruthless side.
Miyoshi Changqing thinks that he has seen the ruthless side of Date Masaki, so that Date Masaki's weight in his heart has increased again, such a reckless killing, or killing thousands of people at once, Date Masaki is a difficult enemy to deal with.
Rokkaku Yoshiken of Omi Province is now tired, and only needs to go through several joint battles with more than 1,000 people. It will definitely be able to make the hexagonal Yoshixian submit. The first thing Hatakeda Takamasa had to do was how to deal with the reproaches of the important ministers and elders of the family. It is also unlikely to cause great harm to the Miyoshi family in the short term.
The only thing that worries Miyoshi Nagakei right now is Date Masahiro's actions. Nagato and Zhou Fang occupied the two countries. As a result, the Date family not only acquired a large area of land, but also acquired an important port, a port town for trade with Daming maritime merchants. In the past, the Ouchi clan relied on trade to develop, and for a time became one of the best forces in the world. Although it has begun to decline, it is still not to be underestimated, and if it can be used, it will be a tiger for the Date family, which owns a vast land.
Once Date Masahiro escaped from Iwami Province and returned to China. According to the size of his territory, if he wants to be truly in the center of the territory, then he will inevitably begin to expand to Shikoku and Kinai. Once the Date army begins to move, Shikoku and Kinai will definitely set off a huge wave. If they can't resist the soldiers of the Date family, the Date family will definitely march eastward along the road of Shangluo, and at that time, the enemies around them will stand up and bite off the body of the Miyoshi family.
The Ida family's eastward expansion, coupled with the chaotic war on Shikoku Island, resulted in the Miyoshi family's overstretching. Shikoku and Kinai were separated, and the order could not be unified. At that time, the Miyoshi family was afraid that they would slide step by step into the abyss of destruction.
At this time, especially seeing Date Mashiro killing thousands of people at once so ferociously, Miyoshi Changqing saw very clearly that the first target that needed to be annihilated was not Rokkaku Yoshiken, but the more fierce Date Masaki.
Once Date Mashiro fails, it means that an important aspect of the encirclement network that may be formed will be broken, and people say that killing chickens is shown to monkeys, and what the Miyoshi family needs to do now is to kill a monkey and show a group of chickens, and take a good look at whether the Miyoshi family is still the overlord of Jinai.
And Date Masaki is undefeated, even if the Miyoshi family can gain temporary advantages on other battlefields, when Date Masaki conquers Izumo Province, he will definitely turn eastward and cut off the connection between Kinai and Shikoku Island, and in terms of naval forces, the overall strength of the Date family is stronger than that of the Miyoshi family.
Miyoshi Changqing wanted to step forward to deal with the more fierce Date Masata, but he had to succumb to reality, he no longer had any troops in his hands to provoke Date Masaki, once it was really provoked, I was afraid that it would be dealt a heavy blow immediately.
Miyoshi Nagakei can only mobilize some second- and third-line peasant soldiers, and if these peasant soldiers go to war with the elite of the battle-hardened Date Army, it is better to let them swim across the Seto Inland Sea to Shikoku Island, which is no different from looking for death.
Yamashiro Country, in the main battle of the Miyoshi Army, the atmosphere in the army is still very good, the victory of Hanoi Province, Omi Province Rokkaku Yoshiken is also tired, it is difficult to defeat Rokkaku Yoshiken in a short time, but as long as it drags on, the final victory will definitely be the Miyoshi Army.
The atmosphere in the middle and lower levels is good, but the atmosphere in the upper echelons is quite tense, and they all know the movements of Date Mashiro in Iwami Country, while verbally scolding Date Mashiro butcher, while beating drums in their hearts, such an Date Mashiro is really difficult to deal with.
The atmosphere in the conference room is very solemn, a group of important ministers sit below, and Miyoshi Changqing is holding his chin above and his eyes are half closed, this is his habitual action, he will be like this when he encounters very difficult things, it is best not to disturb him at this time, otherwise he will die a very ugly death.
Miyoshi Changqing opened his half-closed eyes, raised his head and looked down at everyone, with a terrifying light in his eyes, and said: "It seems that the situation is very serious, this guy is becoming more and more tyrannical, such a person is the most terrible person, it seems that the relationship with the Rokkaku family will be renegotiated." ”
All the retainers were shocked, most of them had participated in many joint battles with Miyoshi Changqing, and they were quite familiar with Miyoshi Changqing's words, and they knew when Miyoshi Changqing was the most terrifying, and they also knew when Miyoshi Changqing was really angry.
Miyoshi Nagakei tapped his knees, then snorted sullenly, and said, "Send an envoy to tell Rokkaku Yoshiken that we will stop fighting and send his sister-in-law Shiro to Akutagawa Castle, and at the same time, I will marry my daughter to him, and give Shiga and Takashima counties to the Miyoshi family as a dowry." ”
Matsunaga Xiu, who was sitting on his knees, trembled, he didn't expect that Miyoshi Changqing would marry his daughter to Rokkaku Shiro, you must know that Miyoshi Changqing has only one daughter under his knees, and he has promised to marry him to himself. Yes, Miyoshi Changqing once wanted to marry his ten-year-old daughter to Matsunaga Xiu, who was more than ten years older than Miyoshi Changqing. This matter is already an open secret among the upper echelons of the Miyoshi family. As soon as Miyoshi Changqing's words were finished. Everyone's eyes were on Matsunaga Hide. There was mockery in his eyes.
Miyoshi Changqing looked at Matsunaga Xiu and asked, "This matter will be handed over to Matsunaga to handle, and it must be completed satisfactorily, okay?" ”
In front of Miyoshi Changqing, where did Matsunaga Xiu dare to slack off, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, the minister must do his best to successfully complete the task." Live up to the expectations of your lord. As he spoke, he glanced up at Miyoshi Changqing, and the meaning of his words was obvious, implying that what Miyoshi Changqing had promised could be invalidated.
Miyoshi Changqing just nodded lightly in response, Matsunaga Xiu saw Miyoshi Changqing respond, the retainer must have the appearance of a retainer, and the lord must have the fan of the lord, since Miyoshi Changqing has not forgotten, Matsunaga Xiu naturally can't chase and fight.
The meeting fell silent again, and at this time the hearts of the retainers were full of ambivalence, while they wanted to completely defeat the Rokkaku Yoshixian. In order to obtain a large source of food, he was thinking about the development of events after the Date army advanced eastward.
Miyoshi Changqing raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. took out a folding fan and opened it, it was very hot now, and suddenly asked the old man sitting in the first place, Yasushi Miyoshi, "Uncle, is there any movement of the sword master general in the Sakahonkan?" ”
Miyoshi Yasunaga is Miyoshi Chokei's uncle, who was originally born at his nephew Miyoshi Minoru and was active in various places as a retainer of Miyoshi Minoru Kyu. After Miyoshi Chokei became the overlord of Kinai, he was courteous to Miyoshi Chokei as the elder of a family, and this expedition to Omi Province was responsible for monitoring the movements of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Hosokawa Harumoto, so as not to cause trouble.
Miyoshi Yasunaga didn't directly answer Miyoshi Changqing's question, but instead asked about Miyoshi Changqing, and said: "Lord, Ashikaga Yoshiki has been quite quiet for a while, but he has been jumping around under his nose, looking upset, did he deal with him?" Change the obedient one up. ”
Miyoshi Changqing glanced at Miyoshi Kangchang heavily and asked, "Does my uncle have any intentions?" ”
Miyoshi Yasunaga was bluffed by Miyoshi Chokei, thinking that he agreed with his opinion, and immediately replied: "A few days ago, someone from Nara came to claim to be the envoy of the monk Kakukei, and promised that if he promised to make him a shogun, he would immediately appoint the lord as the deputy general, and recognize the lord as the second father. ”
Yicheng Temple Jueqing, Miyoshi Changqing sneered, and replied: "Hehe, I understand, uncle, if you go to negotiate this matter, you must get his written promise, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything, but as long as there is a written commitment, then everything is negotiable." ”
Miyoshi Kangchang didn't notice the ridicule in Miyoshi Changqing's words. Ashikaga Yoshiki, Monk Juekei, and the half-brother actually fought for a position that was elevated, hehe, it's really a pleasant thing, but Monk Jueqing obviously can't do it, Miyoshi Changqing feels that when the time comes, let Ashikaga Yoshiki know that his good brother actually hid from his brother to negotiate with Miyoshi Changqing, and left iron evidence, I don't know if there will be a dragon and tiger fight. This brawl for the shogun's position would be a last bit of a blow to the shogunate's reputation. When the time comes, Miyoshi Changqing will come out again to clean up the mess, hehe, although it is dangerous to start a new shogunate, it is very simple to be a living Cao Cao in the shogunate.
When Miyoshi Changqing shouted so ruthlessly, in the stormy Sakamoto Pavilion, Ashikaga Yoshiki sat on a high seat and looked at his dark leader Wada Yumasa, his mood became very bad from the beginning of Hosokawa Fujitaka no news, with frost on his face, and said: "Continue to monitor the main formation of the Miyoshi Army, wait for the opportunity to kill in one go!" If it succeeds, I will appoint you as the lord of a nation. ”
Wada Weizheng lowered his head and said, "Obey!" I will not disappoint your expectations, and I will gamble my life to complete the mission. As he spoke, he thought about gambling his life, which was too exaggerated, and he told such a lie almost every day.
Ashikaga Yoshiki slanted the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Miyoshi Chokei, your stay in Yamashiro Province now just gives us a good time to attack the enemy." As long as Miyoshi Chokei is killed, the Miyoshi family will immediately fall apart, and when the time comes, the shogunate will come forward to appease him. ”
Wada Yumasa's loyal face was hidden under a strong ambition, he raised his head and glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiteru who was in hysteria, and said in his heart: "Regardless of the Warring States, I can't even understand the truth that the minimum strength is respected, and I think that only by becoming a sword hero in my hand can I rejuvenate the shogunate, which is really stupid." ”
Wada Yumasa is not a person who is willing to be lonely, he is a powerful wealthy family in Wada Village, Koga County, Omi Province, and his subordinates can recruit fifteen horsemen and fifty or sixty full light, and he was originally a retainer of the Rokkaku clan. After Ashikaga Yoshiteru went into exile in Sakahonkan from Yamashiro Province, Wada Yumasa thought it was a good opportunity to fry cold rice, so he began to invest in Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and hit it off, and after Mikumo Toshito's recommendation, Rokkaku Yoshiken agreed to become Ashikaga Yoshiteru's shogun.
Historically, Matsunaga Hide-Mashiro and Miyoshi played a decisive role in the rescue of Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the assassination of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and later vigorously expanded their power in Kinai in the name of the shogunate, offending the ruler Oda Nobunaga, and gradually came to an end.
Wada Yumasa left in a hurry, and when he walked to the door of the pavilion, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, which made him suddenly break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect him to come back, didn't he go to Mikawa Country to join the Matsudaira clan? Peers are enemies, that's right.
Hattori was recognized by an acquaintance at the moment he had just entered the castle, and after he entered the building, he asked his subordinates to report his arrival: "I am planting in Shimono Chiga, and I have something important to do, so please report it." "Hattori was the name he changed after defecting to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, and his father, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, was the name of Masasan Chigaji, who was the most powerful man in Iga Province and belonged to the Iga Guardian Nishiki faction. The Fujibayashi family of the three Kamishinobi families of the little Iga Province belongs to the Rokkaku faction, the Shirachi belongs to the Kitabatake faction, and the Chigachi belongs to the Guardian Niki faction. In that year, the shogunate, the patron of the Niki faction, declined, and Rokkaku and Kitabatake became close, forcing the head of the Chigaji clan to change his name and surname and move to Mikawa Province to take refuge in Matsudaira Kiyoyasu.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru watched Wada Yumasa leave, and returned to the original state, obviously just acting in front of Wada Yumasa, he is not an unrestrained person, otherwise he would not be called a sword general, if you want to learn swordsmanship, you must have a calm heart, even the heart can't calm down, how can you practice advanced swordsmanship.
Wada Yumasa was recommended by Rokkaku Yoshiken, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't trust Rokkaku Yoshiken, or it could be said that he didn't trust anyone, and when he was thinking about why Hosokawa Fujitaka had been unheard of, he reported that Chigaji was asking to see him.
Hattori Security Chief respectfully reported: "General, according to the secret report hidden by Hirai Dingwu's side, Matsunaga Shu entered the army to discuss reconciliation with Dr. Sakyo in detail, and this is a transcription of the peace talks. As he spoke, he handed a letter to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
When Ashikaga Yoshiteru heard that Matsunaga Hide's face stiffened when he went to talk with Rokkaku Yoshiken, a wave of anger surged up from his chest, he swallowed it, opened the letter, the content was detailed, he thought for a while, and said: "Hanzo, you go to prepare for China, the matter of the encirclement network should be broken."
