Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 4: Cherry Blossoms Gone to Last Moon City
Ukita Nao's family has finished dealing with the matter of awarding the rewards, and Gotenwai Niko Shihisa's seppuku is almost ready

"Don't talk about victory or defeat, human feelings are all temporary. There is nothing produced here, but the mountains are cold and the sea is clear." Following the unique mediocre rhythm, Nizi Shijiu suddenly felt and wrote his own death poem.

His eyes swept from the imperial palace in Shangyue City to the blade in his hand that could reflect his face. As the last syllable fell, the rib in his hand pierced his abdomen decisively, and he frowned and finished the seppuku ritual in pain.

The swordsman Takeuchi next to him seemed a little unbearable, and with a loud roar, he swung his sword to help Nizi Shijiu end the pain. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the cherry blossom trees in the palace were blown by the wind, and another one fell. A large piece of early cherry blossoms drifted down.

It seems that Yuecheng is also crying for the demise of Nizi's family.Long ago, a samurai sat on the side holding a tray to catch the head of Ujihisa who was in possession of Sakura.

"My lord, Nizi's head is here for a long time, and the inspection is correct." "Salted it with salt and sent it to the head of Maori's right horse in Shancheng, Yoshida County, and announced the merits of the family." "Hayi" mother took the order and left.

The samurai in the temple seemed to be a little surprised by this kind of thing, and at most they could boast a few words about Nizi's Hisama man. Hachiro next to him noticed that the faces of the surrendered officials Tachihara Hisakuna and Akigami Jiujia who were sitting outside the hall were a little stiff.

That's right, even though he has surrendered and changed hands, after all, the master who was still serving yesterday will inevitably feel a little sad in front of him today.Nizi's gaze that stayed in the hall for a long time just now may have made the two of them feel ashamed.

Looking at the falling cherry blossoms outside the hall and the headless body being packed up by the Banners, I suddenly thought of the poems written by the modern Buddhist poet Su Manshu about the passing of the cherry blossoms, and couldn't help singing them.

"The cherry blossoms will bloom in ten days, how can I regret going around the flowers every day?"

"Yesterday, the wind and rain came together, who will complain to the heavens?"

(The Toka Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom. Even if you walk around them a thousand times, you won’t be too many. The wind and rain last night were very violent. Who is crying to the sky?)
Perhaps out of emotion, Hachiro, who was sitting behind Nao's family, suddenly recited a Tang poem.

The cherry blossoms are used as a metaphor for the tragic life of Nizi Shijiu. Like his brother Nizi Shengjiu, he was born in the famous Nizi family in the Western Kingdom when the Nizi family was the most powerful.

That year, the old tortoise in Sanhe was still playing with mud in Junfu, and the big fool in Owari was reenacting the allusion of Zheng Zhuanggong's meeting in Huangquan with his good brother and mother.

Shengjiu and Shijiu, who were born in the Shingu party, didn't even know that Nizi's family had entered the sunset, and his father Chengjiu sent them to the temple because of the headache of inheritance rights.

The task of revitalizing Nizi's family had never considered these two young people, but these two young people took on this monstrous problem with a group of retainers when they were in their teens.

In the face of the tsunami-like invasion of the Maori family, the two who had not received the education of the family supervisor, did not know how to deploy troops, and did not know how to manage the people's affairs could have lived their lives in peace, let alone the Japanese monks. Are they monks? ?

That is obviously the Buddha!
Even the Maori family was not interested in exterminating the remnants of these two nuns who were outside the hundred and eighty inheritance rights.

But they have returned to vulgarity and assumed the responsibility of revitalizing Nizi's family. Even with the help of Zengnizi's retainers, how could they handle Hoki Izumo's government affairs well if they had only studied scriptures before, and how could they handle Fuxing's retainers and What about the original relationship with the aboriginal aristocrats who repeatedly jumped back and forth in the territory?
This kind of fragile alliance does not even require the Maori family to make adjustments. The moment the powerful clans heard that Yoshikawa Motoharu led the conquest of Kyushu to return, the wealthy clans who knew how to survive in troubled times were the first to jump back.

The powerful clan of Izumo directly surrounded the Nizi family in Gassan Tomita City, causing the Nizi family who had just had a glimmer of vitality to be thrown into hell.

Although Katsuhisa, Ujihisa, Yamanaka Yukimori and others escaped from the encirclement, the disastrous defeat in the battle of Gassan Tomita Castle still brought disaster to this newly improving family.

The deaths of Kato Masada, Kawafu Hisamori and other elders can be said to have destroyed the topmost building of the Nizi family. Although they did not have any strategic vision when they were alive, their deaths can be said to make the Nizi family with a strategy of 30 points directly zero. , the future operations will become more and more psychedelic.So it can be said that the ending was already doomed when the Nizi Revival Army raised its troops.

These two young people in their 20s knew that the road ahead was uncertain and unpredictable, and they resolutely devoted themselves to it. In the end, they lost their lives and died. Isn't that how they ended up in history 20 years later?
Under the premise that the powerful daimyos of the world have long been thrown into the trap, Hidemoto Mori mobilized only 120 people in the 1200 million koku territory of the Mori family. Including Yoshikawa Hiroshi, who eats slowly, has a total of 3600 people, and Ukita, who has 57 koku The family mobilized 17000 people. You must know that this is the Uki family after two conquests against North Korea and the Yuguan Rebellion!This is obviously a desperate effort.

In fact, the current Hachiro has always admired the original owner, and the original owner is definitely not as miserable as recorded in history.

Perhaps he is indeed a bit stiff in his conduct, but as Taige's adopted son, he could have learned from his other two brothers to protect himself wisely.

但是秀家却偏偏战场上凭借1w7000人顶住福岛正则等东军近2w人的进攻在25仔秀秋的1w5000人下山之后被两面夹击之后依然可以从容指挥坚持4小时。

It wasn't until Otani Kichitsugu and Toyotomi's team on the flank retreated that Ukita's army really collapsed, which was enough to show Hideka's excellent military command ability and personnel dispatching level.

It's a pity that the trend of the times cannot be reversed by one person's efforts. The last Xiu family can only exile with his sons on a deserted island and start a life of survival in the wilderness. Woolen cloth.

At the end of the poem, there was no sound in the bustling imperial palace. Your highnesses may be surprised by the talent of the young master, perhaps it is strange that the young master can be sad for such a thing, but the Tachihara Jiuzuna and Qiu Shangjiu's family in the corridor outside the hall looked at the young master. The Lord's eyes seemed to be full of gratitude.

The Zhi family on one side looked at their son in surprise, and secretly thought, maybe it's time to find a teacher for his son.

Zhijia’s eyes looked at the two people sitting outside the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up, isn’t Liyuan Jiugangkai the famous military art master of the Nizi family, the key point is that he is still a capable minister, you must know that he is the follower of Nizi Qingjiu He was born in a group of people, and then faced the Maori invading army many times to make suggestions and made good achievements in battle.

Isn't he going to become a monk?It happens to be able to stay in the collar to teach Hachiro and supervise at the same time. If someone from the Maori family asks for Tachihara Hisakuna, he can directly hand it over to the Maori family.

The Ukita Nao family, who had agreed in their hearts, looked at Tachihara Hisakuna outside the corridor, pretending to be distressed, and said, "Hashu Mamoru is about to become a monk, and it happens that the abbot of the Bodhi Temple Guangzhen Temple in my family, Master Kokoin is a famous master in the Western Kingdom, so it is not as good as Yushu Mamoru." Your Excellency should become a monk at Guangzhen Temple at home. Master Guangxingyuan, who happens to be serving as a dog teacher, is old and unwell. Teacher training."

Tachihara Hisakuna outside the palace originally thought that the Uki family hadn’t issued a decision to dispose of him at the beginning, and in the end he might be sent to the Mori family for disposal, but he didn’t expect that the teacher who made him become a monk directly in the collar and serve as the son-in-law was suddenly a little confused measures.After thinking for a while, he returned to "Kai, I will follow the arrangement of Izumi Mori-sama."

Hachiro, who was sitting behind Ukita Nao's family, didn't know who this Tachihara Hisakuna was. In his memory, the top one in the Nizi revival group was Yamanaka Yukimori, and then Akikami Hisaka.Where did this Liyuan Jiugang come from? Qiu Ba directly asked his father to arrange to be his teacher.

You must know that the great monk of Guangxingyuan is not pedantic, and he has learned a little Japanese Sinology in front of Hachiro, an orthodox Han.It made Hachiro very annoying.

In the past few months, he managed to take advantage of Guangxingyuan's nap time, and set fire to Guangxingyuan's beard, which had been cultivated for decades, and pissed him off.Here comes another middle-aged uncle, and Dad Cheap even arranged to be an apprentice of Guangxing Institute, even if it is not a family.It's over, Hachiro's heart is full of despair.

The Ukita Nao family seemed to think of something again and said, "In this case, then the Yijusuke will serve as Hachiro's art of war guide along with you. Migoro, you should also learn together." He was not very relieved about handing over his son to the two newcomers, and saw the reliability of the Quan family during this battle, so he decided to let the Quan family accompany him to study and continue to protect Hachiro.

But this is a great gift for Tachihara Jiugang and Qiushang Jiujia who don't know the inside story of Yuxi's family. Don't look at Qiushang Jiujia who only has 500 shi Zhixing, but the assigned position is the teacher of the young master, let alone Bian There is also the flag head of the second generation of Yuxi's family, so the future of my Qiushangjiu family is not bright?
And I can still stay with my old brother Tachihara Hisakuna, and there will be a topic to say no, so that I won’t be completely isolated in Yuki’s family, so I immediately replied:
"Ha Yi, thank you, my lord, I will try my best to teach my lord to live up to my lord's prestige." And Yu Xiduo's family next to him is still a submissive kid, and his uncle can do whatever he wants, even though he doesn't quite understand what he wants. At the age of 16, there is still something to learn, but he immediately stated, "Ha Yi, I will follow the arrangement."

After arranging some trivial matters, Yuxi's family asked the generals if they had anything else to report. After receiving a negative answer, they declared the meeting adjourned, and asked the generals to go back to rest and return to Shishan City tomorrow.

And after the Zhi family left, Hachiro immediately ran down and hugged the Quan family's thigh, but didn't let go, kept acting like a baby, without the face of the little adult in the palace just now, and kept asking the Quan family to tell him about the fighting situation last night , Where did Nizi Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori go?

The generals in the hall heard that there was a story to listen to, so they left in no hurry, and encouraged Yu Xiduo's family and Shangyue Jingzhen to tell the story of how they were magical Dapo Nizi.
