Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 11 Ask Hachiro Hachiro during Nao's Disease

Hachiro, Xuanzhu and the other three returned to Okayama by boat in Harima, but because it was too late when the boat docked, they had to spend a night in Okayama Town and prepare to go to Ishiyama the next day to meet Hachiro’s father Nao’s family. .The four of them had just boarded the city, and not long after they passed at the gate of Shishan City, a group of menacing warriors came in the city, without a word, they separated the three people including Hachiro and Master Xuanzhu. He was escorted away.Hatoyama Yoshimori, who was knocked unconscious in Guangzhen Temple, took Hachiro to the imperial hall to meet the Nao family.

"Qingsheng, how is your father's health? Are you still angry with me?" Hachiyama kept asking Hatoyama Qingsheng about his father's situation on the road, but Hatoyama never said a word, knowing that Hachiro would be handed over to him. Togawa Ryuhei, who was guarding the inner hall, and Togawa Ryuhei took him to see Naoya on the sickbed. Naoya who was sleeping on the bed saw his son who had been thinking about it day and night, and struggled to sit up from the sickbed. He greeted Hachiro over.

Seeing Zhijia's pale complexion, Hachiro thought of the Zhijia's love for him in the past, and the fact that he almost lost his life when he left this time, tears gushed out like a spring, "Father, I thought I would never see you again. You." Hachiro threw himself into Zhi's arms and wept.

Naoka comforted you and Hachiro spoke for a while and said: "Hachiro, come, let me take a good look at you." Hands dissatisfied with calluses rubbed on Hachiro's immature face, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Hachiro's eyes. He slapped Hachiro hard on the face, and the slapped Hachiro fell directly to the ground, his right cheek was extremely red and swollen.

"Do you know what you did wrong? I asked Zuobingwei to notify you and protect you. The reason why I didn't let you leave Guangzhen Temple was because the Maoli family planted eyeliners everywhere in this house. You went out privately and killed Zuo Heibei didn't say anything, but he came back to Shishan openly, what are you thinking!" Zhi said the most vicious words in a weak tone.

Hachiro was a little confused by Zhijia's slap, and Zhijia's next operation made Hachiro even more stupid.Zhijia actually put his hand on Hachiro's face again, and said "Does it hurt?"

Hachiro was directly speechless by Zhijia's stalk, 'Nonsense, come and give me a slap and try. '

Naoka doted on Hachiro in his arms here, and kept saying, "Good boy, my good boy. I scared my father to death." Zhijia, the villain of the West Country, only showed his rare power in front of Hachiro. affection.The Zhi family held Hachiro in his arms, as if he was afraid that Hachiro would run away again. "Quickly tell my father, what have you experienced, why are you so thin?"

Hachiro, who went back and forth for more than 2 months, experienced two narrow escapes, and his face lost a little immaturity and became more determined.So Hachiro began to tell the Nao family about his experience of going out for two months.However, when Naoka heard that Minakami was attacked by the Kumano navy, he asked Hachiro about the situation of the Kumano navy. Hachiro could only roughly describe the superficial understanding of the many iron cannons and huge ships he saw, and asked about the details of the previous battle. Qiu Shangjiujia and Master Xuanzhu.Naoka was noncommittal, put the matter on hold for now, and finally asked Hachiro to continue talking.

Hachiro continued to talk about what he had seen and heard in Sanuki and how he treated Master Xuanzhu. As for why Hachiro knew this kind of medical skill, Hachiro directly pushed it to Guangzhen Temple to learn.Then he talked about the rescue of a monkey warrior in the village under the city last month. Hearing that the Yuxi family warrior who was interrogating took all the discs upside down and still nodded in agreement, Zhijia laughed out loud.

Later, when he heard that the monkey samurai said he was Hashiba Hideyoshi, the Nao family stopped Hachiro from continuing, and ordered Togawa Ryuhei to retreat from the crowd before letting Hachiro continue. "Hachiro, what do you think of Hashiba Hideyoshi?"

'Again?Monkey, you are so charming! Hachiro then recounted the conversation he had with Takatora Fujido in Himeji Town. Of course, the source of information became the hearsay on the road.But when the Nao family heard that Hideyoshi was able to organize 8000 troops overnight to support the Miki crusade, he was as surprised as Hachiro who heard the news at the time.I fell into a long time of contemplation. "Hachiro, you just said that the Oda family organized more than 3 people to surround the city shortly after Miki's rebellion? Does the Oda family still have so many troops?"

"In fact, the Oda family is even stronger. Nobunaga ordered Araki Village to surround Miki on the same day he received Hashiba Hideyoshi's letter. It is said that Arioka Castle organized an army of 3 people in just 1 days. In the last half month, the troops of Mitsuhide Akechi and Nobutada Oda also came. As for the remaining strength of the Oda Army, I am afraid that the encirclement of Bessho this time is only a quarter of the strength of the Oda Army.

As far as I know, in Settsu, the Sakuma Nobushige Corps has more than 4 troops and is anxious at Ishiyama Gobo and Ichigomune.

On the Kishu side, the Oda Nobuo Legion, together with Niwa Nagashige and Tsutsui Junkei, is responsible for the strategy. The total number of people should be around 3.

The Hokuriku side is in charge of Shibata Katsuie, the Oda writer, and the total force may be 4 to 5. His troops have captured Kaga in Tensho for three years, and are anxious with the Hokuriku Uesugi family.

In addition, there is Tokugawa Ieyasu, a subordinate daimyo of Tokaido, who owns the two countries of Mikawa and Enjiang, with a force of no less than 2.

The total strength of the Oda Army should be around 20, and its power to swallow the world has already formed, so my father made a decision early. "

Hachiro remembers that in history, the Nao family saw the strength of the Oda Army after the battle last month, and then sent Konishi Yukaka and Uki Taki's family to contact Hideyoshi.The Nao family in history may not know enough about the Oda Army to spy on the whole territory, but even so they still chose to surrender to the Oda Army.

Now Hachiro told the Nao family the strength and completeness of the Oda family, Hachiro also saw the surprise in the eyes of the Nao family, and kept chanting "20, 20" words for a long time. Oda Right House is gone."

"It's not necessarily true. I found out from Chikuzen's mouth that this person in the Youfu has a perverse and tyrannical personality. He often beats and scolds his retainers. His samurai name is quite critical. It's just that the Youfu is under pressure. The current Oda family is like A gunpowder barrel, maybe a single spark can explode. Since this matter came from Chikuzenden, who was promoted to Weimo by the Youfu, it may be true." Naturally, it is impossible for the monkey to tell Hachiro about the dark history of Oda Nobunaga. Hachiro's evaluation of Oda Nobunaga in his memory.

"So, according to Hachiro's opinion, should I surrender to Chikuzen?" "If my father wants to preserve his family's name, he can just vote for Nobunaga directly, and maybe he can be reused as the leader of the party like Araki Tsutsumori. But If my father wants the Yuxi family to gain more benefits, surrendering to Chikuzen is the best choice, and surrendering at this time shows more sincerity."

"But Zhuqian is only a retainer of the Youfu. Didn't the family surrender to Zhuqian and become a minister of the minister?"

"Father, you are so smart that you haven't figured it out for a while. Zhuqian currently owns only 20 shi. How did you manage to defeat the head of the family? He must report it to the Youfu. And the Youfu, as its contribution to persuading the family to surrender, also led the Chinese local government. As the chief general, his family must be attached to His Royal Highness Chikuzen. Therefore, in terms of deeds, our family is still a retainer of the Youfu, but His Highness Zhuqian has accepted the kindness of our family, and will definitely help our family with all our strength. After all, the people of Youfu are in Antu, and Zhuqian is in Harima, distant water cannot save near fire!"

After hearing what Hachiro said, the Zhi family couldn't stop nodding and praised, "Hachiro went out once, and he really grew up, and his knowledge is not the same as before. Father will seriously consider this matter. Go down and rest."

"Father, I also took in a retainer in Harima."

"You? Did you just take in a retainer? Who is it? Let me take a look."

"He followed me into the city and was taken away by you and Xuanzhu Shifan." Then Hachiro confessed to Naoka how he met Todo Takatora by chance, and slightly changed the plot of green plum cooking wine and talking about heroes, which further highlighted Todo Takatora wisdom.Zhijia who aroused his interest ordered someone to bring Master Xuanzhu and others.He was the first to test Todo Takatora's ability and was full of praise.

"Inuzi was offended in Harima a while ago, please forgive me, I heard that Quanzi recruited Mr. with 1000 shi territory, how about this, I will offer 2000 shi to recruit Mr., please join me directly, how about it?"

"Thank you Izumi Shou for your love. I have already recognized His Royal Highness Hachiro as the lord, and I really can't serve two masters at the same time. Please allow the hall. I can still share the worries of His Highness under His Highness Hachiro."

"Is that so? Well, if you don't want to, you can do it like this. It's just that the dog is still young and doesn't have Yuanfu. Mister, why don't you come to our banner team now. I heard that Mister has a lot of experience in building cities. I will introduce Mister and my younger brother Zuo Jingliang to you another day." Let's do things under his command for the time being. It's just that since the reward has already been offered, the master has refused. In this way, I have submitted a batch of official positions to the court a while ago, how about Mr. Biaozuo for the six ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? ?”

"Hai, thank you for the reward from the hall."

After rewarding Fujido Gaohu, the Zhi family asked Monk Xuanzhu and Qiu Shangjiu's family. Hearing that the matter was about the same as Hachiro, he nodded and removed the ropes that bound the two, saying, "You two led the young master away from Guangzhen privately. It is an unforgivable crime for the young master to face dangerous situations many times, but since the two of you have a harmless original intention and have fought to the death for the savior many times, your merits and demerits will be offset. Let's serve as Hachiro's host for the time being."

"Thank you for the kindness of the main hall. I will pay you back with death." After the two saluted, Nao's family ordered Togawa Ryuhei to call Hatoyama Qingsheng to take the four of them down to rest, and send them to Guangming the next day. After Zhensi, he lay down and rested.

When Hachiro came out, he happened to see the doctor who came to ask a doctor, so he asked his father what disease he had.I didn't understand the names of hunger, tuberculosis, and gas pain reported by the doctor, but I knew it after asking the doctor about the symptoms. Isn't this just a gastric ulcer?

"It seems that penicillin is on the agenda." Hachiro muttered.In fact, Hachiro was online after Master Xuanzhu was injured. If there was a shot of penicillin by his side, Master Xuanzhu might recover faster without relying on himself.Now I heard that my father is suffering from gastric ulcer.It happens that the environment of Guangzhen Temple can be used to produce penicillin.Maybe it could save my father's life.

Hatoyama Yoshimori seemed to see that Qiu Shangjiu's family and Master Xuanzhu lost the respect they had before, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.Before leaving, Hachiro finally couldn't help asking, "I just heard that my father said that the death of Lord Jin Guangsheng's family was all because of me. Does Lord Hatoyama know what's going on?"

Hatoyama Qingsheng heard that Hachiro asked about Jin Guangsheng's family, his eyes were full of sadness and said, "Actually, there are many reasons for the master. He was ordered to protect the young master, but the young master was bewitched by those two people and escaped. His life and death are unknown." .Because the lord asked us to keep a low profile to protect the young lord. We can't let the Maori family know when we go. After learning that the young lord was missing, Cai Nu looked for the young lord everywhere. She searched for more than a dozen days and nights, but she ran to Harima but couldn't find it. Deep Feeling responsible, he committed suicide after returning to Shishan. We found out that it was too late." He shed tears as he spoke.

Hachiro heard the news that Jin Guangsheng's family committed suicide after searching for him for more than ten days and even went to Harima but couldn't find it.Unexpectedly, I didn't hurt Boren, but Boren died because of me.Hachiro went out this time to free himself from his own narrow escape, and indirectly killed a loyal minister of the Uki family. Recalling the memories of playing with this group of banners when he was a child, and the warm spring breeze in Guangzhen Temple, what does Hachiro want to do? Make it up.

"Does Cainu have a family?"

"There is also a younger brother who is ten years old. His father died in battle when he was young, and he was brought up by Cai Nu. After her death, Cai Nu had a withdrawn personality."

"Can you pick him up and study with me?"

"You need to ask the Lord about this matter"

"I'll talk to my father, I think there's nothing wrong with it, you go and prepare first."

Hachiro returned to his house after giving instructions to Hatoyama Qing's family and sorted out the list of materials needed to purify penicillin. Proposed to my father when I left the next day.
