Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 137 At this moment, just like that moment
Hideyoshi didn't know the news until the morning of March 3th, when Hideyoshi just got up from the room of Oda Hidekatsu's biological mother Nanden to wash. (Oda Nobunaga's side room)
When Ishida Mitsunari just told him the news, he couldn't even believe it for a moment, that Oda Nobuo dared to take the initiative to attack him.

However, the fact that the three family elders had been killed to sacrifice the flag was untrue, and the changes in the situation were beyond Hideyoshi's control.

This quasi-worldly man who started from a farmer's first strategy operation completely according to his own plan ended in failure, which undoubtedly dealt a blow to this passionate middle-aged man.

Hideyoshi took over Ishida Mitsunari's letter of crusade against Hashiba written by Oda Nobuo, which described himself as a big bastard who usurped the foundation of the master's family and raped Nobunaga's wife and concubines. Hideyoshi's blood pressure soared.

"Your Highness?" Seeing Hideyoshi's slow response, Ishida Mitsunari tentatively asked Hideyoshi for his opinion, "When are you going to call the daimyo who are still in Osaka for a military meeting?"

"Is Koichiro gone? Go and call Kanbei and Koichiro over here first." Seeing that the situation was out of his control, the first thing Hideyoshi thought of was his younger brother and his think tank.

"Echizenden returned to Kitanosho from Osaka early this morning."

"Then what are you waiting for! You haven't gone too far, go after him!" Hideyoshi said eagerly.

But just when Hideyoshi gave an order to Ishida Mitsunari, asking him to send knights to look for Hashiba Hidecho, a samurai ran in at the entrance of the house in the South Hall. , His Highness Hashiba Minomori is asking to see him outside the Sakura Gate."

Hearing that his younger brother was returning to Osaka, Hideyoshi was so excited that he didn't even put on his boots, and he was wearing a silk underwear and wanted to run from the inner hall to the outer hall.

Fortunately, after being reminded by Ishida Mitsunari, I went back to Nanden first, and let him dress it up. At the same time, I told the samurai and Ishida Mitsunari, "Let Koichiro come in quickly, and let Koichiro wait at Nishimaru Nanhaden. Saji, go and inform All the big names in Osaka will come to Nishimaru to participate in the evaluation."

The two "Hai" who accepted the order left quickly to convey Hideyoshi's order.

Hideyoshi first went to Minamihaden to have a small meeting with Hidecho and Kanbei. After exchanging opinions with the two, he went to the Nishimaru Evaluation Room for a military discussion.

As soon as Hideyoshi took his seat, he announced the news of Oda Nobuo's rebellion to the daimyo with a lonely expression.

At this moment, the daimyos in the hall have more or less known the news from Owari, and they have all heard more or less about Oda Nobuo's attack on Hashiba Hideyoshi.

However, in Hideyoshi's mouth, this proclamation became evidence of Oda Nobuo's rebellion. In Hideyoshi's mouth, he refuted his position in the proclamation one by one.

Even Nan Dian, who has already moved into the house, is just worried about his son taking care of him nearby, and the relationship between the two is an absolutely pure friendship.

Regarding the question of Oda Nobuo angrily accusing him of usurping the Oda family's foundation, he even burst into tears and said that he would go to Azuchi to participate in the evaluation of the Oda family as usual every month, and he used Tsutsui Junqing and Oda Hidekatsu as examples to illustrate that they are the vassals of the Oda family .

Although Hideyoshi's performance was clumsy, and it was false if he gave an example, it aroused resonance in the hall. Everyone expressed that they would follow Hideyoshi to defeat Oda Nobuo, restore peace to the Oda family, and give Hashiba Hideyoshi an innocence.

The atmosphere has come, and Hideyoshi directly asked Kuroda Kanbei to announce the military service arrangements that had been prepared, requiring each family to gather troops according to the military service arrangements.

It’s just that most of the family members are building the city in Osaka at the moment, and the strength of the people in the family is approaching the limit. In the case of Noto daimyo Maeda Toshiie, 22 people have been given to Osaka for its 6600 koku territory, and now they need to go back and recruit 4400 people to join the battle. It's really hard.

Hideyoshi saw everyone's concerns, so he said, "The civilians who built the city of Osaka will be organized into the army on the spot, and those who are not satisfied with the military service will go back to mobilize troops. In short, one word is 'quick'. I will go out in mid-March , End the war before the end of April. Gentlemen, be brave!"

"One more thing, please send the hostages to Sakamoto Castle before March 3th, and I will protect them in a unified way. You also know how powerful the Tokugawa ninjas are. Fortunately, I recruited some Koga members not long ago, and handed them over to They take care of you, you can rest assured, men should kill the enemy on the front line without any worries."

After Hideyoshi ordered the daimyos to serve in the military, he did not let the daimyos go back. Instead, their elders went back to the collar respectively, and put their families together and mobilized for military service.

Although Hideyoshi promised them that the military service will be reorganized first among the civilians who built the city in Osaka, but it does not include the military equipment of each family and the samurai who command the ashigaru battles. These must be prepared by each family.

In addition, each daimyo will more or less have the most powerful reserve team, these cannot be replaced by the fortress civilians, so it will take some time to reorganize the army.

Hideyoshi himself is a monarch who attaches great importance to righteousness and fame. Even if he does something incomprehensible, he must put on a coat of reason for this matter.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the military meeting, he went to Azuchi to meet the three mages, hoping to obtain the letter of crusade against Oda Nobuo by the head of the Oda family.

At this time, the whole of Omi was Hideyoshi's territory, and the so-called Azuchi 30 stones had long been entrusted to retainers by Hideyoshi. The order of the three mages was indeed as Nobuo said, and he could not even leave his own inner hall.

The three young mages didn't know what was going on outside, but in the sweet words of "Grandpa Monkey" who wanted to fight the rebellion for himself, under the witness of the important officials of the Oda family, Niwa Nagahide, Oda Hidekatsu, Hori Hidemasa, etc. He personally drew and pledged the crusade against Oda Nobuo.

Nohime, who attended the banquet with the three mages in her arms, of course knew the meaning of this letter, but in order to preserve the last blood of the Oda family, she did not say a word, which was a tacit consent to Hideyoshi's crusade against Oda Nobuo.

However, this moment is really like that moment.

At this moment, Hideyoshi, who is bullying orphans and widowed grandmothers, is attacking Oda Nobuo himself in the name of the Oda family governor. It is very similar to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who deceived Chacha and Hideyori's trust 16 years later in the historical trajectory, and Feng Zhao crusade against Uesugi.

Both families have a young and ignorant young master, and both families have a mother (grandmother) who is indecisive. In order to protect her son, the mother (grandmother) who makes bad moves frequently. fall and defeat.

The difference is that Nohime is facing Hashiba Hideyoshi who has swallowed up the huge territory of the Oda family. She really has no choice but to compromise and save the lives of the three mages, and finally won 13 shi for Oda Hidenobu. territory.

On the other hand, Chacha holds 3 banner warriors, a huge leader, and a group of loyal warriors.

Looking back at history, Chacha made bad moves frequently, and the bigger the good cards, the worse the heart, but she always thought that she was in control of the situation, a chess player who controlled the world, and eventually led to the destruction of the Toyotomi family.

From this point of view, Nohime's ability is much stronger than Chacha, or maybe this is revenge from Oda Nobunaga.

It really answered the sentence "Heaven is like reincarnation, whoever is bypassed by the sky."
