Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 22 The humiliation you have done to me today, I will repay it twice in the future (44)

Finally, the team returned to Harima before the first month of the eighth year of Tensho (1580). After Hideyoshi returned to Harima, the first thing he did was start a military discussion. Hachiro, as a small surname, sat behind Hideyoshi to accompany him.Discuss the plan to levy Maori after the year.In the end, under the advice of Hidecho and Kuroda Kanbei, it was decided to enter the difficulty from the simple, first conquer the famous mountain masters of Tajima and Inaba, and then attack Maori from Yin and Yang.

In fact, Yamana Yutoyo was attacked by Hashiba Hideyoshi in the 12th year of Yongroku (1569), and fled to Sakai. Under the mediation of Imai Zongjiu, he met with Nobunaga and confirmed the possession of Tajima Izushi County. After that, he cooperated with the organization several times. In the process of attacking Tanba, Tian Jun gradually took back Takeda Castle and Kosumiyama Castle, and cooperated with Akechi Mitsuhide to attack Hikami County, and was finally repelled by Akai Naomasa who was still Ogino Naomasa at that time.

It stands to reason that the Yamana family should belong to the Oda family's servant daimyo, and the bigger and bigger the ship grew, who knew that in June of the seventh year of Tensho (1579), Akechi Mitsuhide captured the Hatano family's headquarters Hachigami Castle.Yamana Yutoyo's important minister, Otagaraki Teruhito, together with other Yamana's important ministers, suddenly made peace with Yoshikawa Motoharu from the Mori side, which resulted in the Yamana's betrayal of Oda Nobunaga. s reason.

From the timeline, we can see that this time happened not long after the Maori guys and Ukita defeated the Hashiba army in the city of last month, and coincided with the rebellion of Harima Miki Castle and Settsu Arioka, and Oda’s Tanba because of Nobunaga. The head of the head of the family led to the moment when the Hatano family rebelled again.The vassals of the Yamana family coerced the head of the family to defect to Maori, which had to make people feel that this was the result of the Maori family's strategy.

After deliberation, it was decided that after the next year's spring plowing, Hidecho would be the leader, with former field general Uemon Nagayasu as deputy general, Miyabe Zenshobo Jijun, Aoki Kanhei Ichiko, Horio Shigesuke, and Kimura Tsukikusuke under his command. The Changbin Omi Corps led by Ji and other generals, with a total strength of 100 troops, entered Chaolai County.Later, Hideyoshi originally led the Harimamoto team with 1 people to keep up.The 2000 members of the Danbo Legion are the postscript.

After the meeting, Hideyoshi took Hidecho and Hachiro to the bathing pond to relieve stress as usual, and Hachiro asked the question, "Father, why don't you let us Ukido fight against Yamana? After all, Ukido's Misaku country borders Inaba. With support, you should be able to take down the famous mountain master faster."

"Master Dazai needs to guard against the Mori family, so I didn't let them fight." Hideyoshi hugged Hachiro and explained, "If the Mori family knew that the Uki family had fallen to Oda, they would definitely attack Beichu and Bizen like crazy. of."

"However, even the Tanba Legion, which was temporarily assigned to my father, was able to fight, but the Yuki family was excluded. I really don't want to be reconciled."

"Does Hachiro want Ukita to participate in the attack so much?"

"Hachiro also hopes that Father can complete Mori's strategy as soon as possible. If Ukita is in charge of Inaba's strategy, Yamanaka can surrender faster." Hachiro Xian Hideyoshi suggested, "Father is right, Ukita's family It bears the heavy responsibility of defending Maori, but it is still possible to dispatch the US as the reserve force of the United States as a flanking army."

"Should Yu Xiduo dispatch the troops of the United States?"

"Well, the Mimasaka state-owned swordsman Takeuchi Chuu Daisuke is in command, and most of his reserve teams are ready for battle. If the Mimasaka Legion restrains Inaba, plus the 4100 people of Hideada, Tamba's 8000 people will have 1w6000~ 1w7000 people are attacking Yamana, so it is enough to deal with the Harima Army without the need of the father. And the Harima Army with more than 1 people in the hands of the father can be used as a mobile force. Whether it is supporting Beichu or Inaba, it will be more than enough. .”

Hideyoshi thought for a moment and asked Hidecho for his opinion, "Koichiro, what do you think of Hachiro's idea?"

"It's very constructive. 2 people attack Inaba, which is only about 20, but horses are indeed a bit wasteful. If Uki Tamisaku's army enters the field as an allied army, it can contain the Yamana army and Maori army on the Inaba side in the early stage, making us quickly After taking down Tajima, there will be nearly 2 troops in the combined army, which is enough to deal with Maori's Yoshikawa Front Army. And brother, as the general reserve team, you can support Beizhong Bizen or support Inaba with ease. Consider the recommendations to be adopted.”

Hideyoshi finally made up his mind to adjust the deployment after getting Hidecho's approval, and sent a letter of cooperation to Bizen Ishiyama, requesting Uki's many Misaku Front Army to participate in the Inaba Raiders. Kuroda Kanbei was a little stunned when he heard the news the next day Hideyoshi would change the deployment he suggested and couldn't help but wonder who made the suggestion.

After Hachiro saw that Hideyoshi agreed with his strategy, he also wrote a letter for the Akigami Jiu family to take back to the Nao family together with the letter of security issued by Nobunaga and the official license issued by the imperial court.The content of the letter is as follows:
1. Briefly introduce what kind of person Nobunaga is and the majesty of Azuchi Castle;

2. Briefly describe what happened in the Antu City Deliberation Hall that day, and remind the father to serve the public wholeheartedly, and your son's life is still in the hands of others;
3. Briefly described Hashiba Hideyoshi's strategy of attacking Yamana in the early spring of next year, reminding his father of the possible entry of the Maoriya Yoshikawa Front Army, reminding his father to send reliable people to lead the army, and it is best to let Uncle Zhongjia lead Misaku to prepare the team;
4. I hope that my father will pay attention to Yoshioka Dingkatsu, the lord of Inaba Sokio Castle, and it is best to accept him as a retainer.

Since the Battle of Tottori has not yet started at this time, Yoshioka Dakakatsu's most famous three defeats, Hashiba, have not yet happened, and this person is not yet famous, so Hachiro can only casually write some The rumors that the famous masters heard when they sent the horses go up, and add more fuel and vinegar. In short, this person is just right, Dad, you better catch him.

Yoshioka Dingkatsu is the lord of Inaba Sokio Castle, and his territory is less than 3000 shi.Fangjiwei City is located on the peninsula-shaped hills on the west bank between Tianshen Mountain and Hushanchi. It is a small city that cannot be smaller.

This person and this city should have become the background board of the historical trend in the same way as other wealthy families in the Warring States period of Japan. He became famous only because he stepped on a monkey and entered history.

Yoshioka Jokatsu launched a surprise attack on the monkeys when Hashiba Hideyoshi surrounded Tottori Castle in the ninth year of Tensho, so Hideyoshi began to attack Bojio Castle, but Hideyoshi was finally defeated by the ingenious attack and defense of Dingkatsu father and son.

When Hideyoshi attacked Fangjio Castle for the third time, Yoshioka Shogun's younger brother Ukon captured Hideyoshi's horse seal and Sensei Goose. This battle was the only blemish in Hideyoshi's career.

Don't think that the history books are just a few sentences. You must know that Yoshioka Dingkatsu is just a wealthy family of 3000 shi, and according to the ratio of extreme mobilization, there are only 150 people.As a result, he defeated the monkey 150 times in a row with these 3 people!The last time even the Ma Yin was taken away, the monkey has suffered such a loss in his life!

After Qiu Shangjiu's family left the next day, Hachiro returned to the days of following Xuanzhu's lectures day after day. Since Qiu Shangjiu's family left, Hachiro lacked a military teacher, so after asking Hideyoshi for instructions, Hachiro left in the afternoon Following Fukushima Masamori and Kato Kiyomasa, Hachisuka Masakatsu taught the art of war.

But Hachisuka Masakatsu is Hideyoshi's general, and he usually has a lot of things to do, so most of them come to see Hachiro at that time, assign today's tasks, and then leave.On this day, Hachisuka Masakatsu asked Hachiro to practice 1000 side cuts as usual and then left to do his own business. It happened that Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa, who had returned from a field trip, saw Hachiro practicing kendo in the courtyard, and opened the door and walked in.

"Liar, what are you doing? Do you also need to practice the art of war? Don't you just need to tell stories to deceive the trust of your foster father? What's the use of practicing this?" Masanori Fukushima came to find fault Hachiro's yard laughed.And Kato Kiyomasa covered his mouth and laughed.

It turns out that after Hachiro’s mansion in Hashiba’s residence in Azuchi City told his different views on Ieyasu last time, Fukushima Masamori has been unwilling to believe the authenticity of the story about Wang Mang’s usurping the Han told by Hachiro. Guangzheng's image of Ieyasu.So he began to exclude Hachiro among Hideyoshi's adopted sons, calling him a liar in public.

Later, after Hachiro suggested Hideyoshi to be adopted many times, Fukushima felt unbalanced in his heart. Originally, as the boss of Hideyoshi's adoptive son, he exchanged 300 shi for his bravery. The heir to Wanshi's territory, and now Hideyoshi's favor has been taken away, which made him even more unhappy with Hachiro.

"No, no, are you looking for ants when you swing the knife like this?" Seeing that Hachiro ignored him and continued to contact and hack, Fukushima pushed Hachiro with some displeasure, and directly pushed Hachiro to the ground.

"Hahaha, is this the young master of Yuxiduo? Is the soft feet inherited from Yuxiduo's family? I heard that your father's feet are so soft that he can't even sit up. Your mother still needs to be taken care of by the foster father."

Historically, Fukushima Masanori was the king of children in Ningning Kindergarten. It is rumored that he has a perverse and tyrannical personality. Before he was adopted by Hideyoshi, he followed his father to learn barrel hoops. One day he went to the street to sell barrels. Because the price was not negotiated, Ichimatsu felt that the customers It was intentional, so he smashed through the head of the guest with a chisel. Seeing this, his father could only give him TOEFL to Hideyoshi to take care of.

Fukushima continued to bully other children in Ningning Kindergarten. Even Toranosuke (Kato Kiyomasa), who was one year older than him, became his follower. Ishida Mitsunari, who was two years older than him, was bullied and bullied by them every day.This is the story of the underage murderer entering the nine-year compulsory study together with other problem students to bully good students.

Hachiro was irritated by Fukushima's behavior of implicating his parents. He was looking for an opportunity to teach Zheng Zheng a final word.At this moment, Hachiro saw the laughing man turning his back on Masanori, his eyes were full of disgust, so before he straightened his body, he picked up the wooden knife and rushed to the 18-year-old Masanori Fukushima (Hachiro was 8 years old at this time) and slashed at Masanori Fukushima. on the forehead. "Boom"

"Oh, oh, oh, it hurts, it hurts, you little brat, are you looking for death!" Zheng Zheng, who was hit on the forehead by Hachiro, rushed forward and wanted to grab Hachiro, but was blocked by Kenjiro who rushed up from the side, "Master Hachiro , you go quickly."

"Neither of you two can escape." He said that he wanted to rush over to catch the two of them, but because Hachiro and Kenjiro kept avoiding arrest due to their agility, Fukushima finally became angry and asked Kato Kiyomasa to enter the venue, "Toranosuke, what are you looking at? Help me catch them."

After all, Hachiro and Kenjiro were still children, and they were caught under the attack of two adults. Hachiro was pressed to the ground and repaired severely.Masari Fukushima knew the identities of the two and did not kill them.

After the repair, he pissed on the two of them and said, "A liar and a fool are a living couple, hahahaha, don't you think so, Toranosuke." Without waiting for Kato Kiyomasa to respond, he turned and left go.

Kato Kiyomasa looked at Hachiro hesitantly, but shook his head and followed Fukushima Masanori's pace.

Although Kenjiro bravely stood in front of Hachiro and blocked a lot of damage for Hachiro, he was still an 11-year-old child after all. Even though he was brave just now, he couldn't help crying after the assailant left.

Although Hachiro didn't want to cry, tears kept rolling in his eyes. The humiliation he suffered at this time was like the one he suffered in his previous life after being asked for security money by school bullies in high school.

You did nothing wrong in the first place, but people just want to target you and bully you for fun.However, the parents and teachers of the school only regard it as a play between children and don't take it seriously. They don't know that although this matter is small, it affects the psychology of the two children. The perpetrator thinks that the whole society is like this , ruled the roost by force, and eventually went to jail. The victim was ridiculed by the bully and the third-party witnesses, and lived in inferiority all his life.

It’s just that Hachiro at this moment is no longer the conscientious Li Zhiming in the previous life. Hachiro at this moment looks at the back of Masayoshi Fukushima’s departure, and secretly swears, “Let’s just laugh about the humiliation you did to me today. Ask you to pay back, ten times, no!Pay back a hundredfold!We will fight to the end, retaliate with an eye for an eye, and repay it double! '
