Prime Minister Bizen

The headache with Nobushige Sanada is Hideya in Tamba.

In Tamba Kameyama Castle, facing the starlight in the sky, Xiujia turned the prayer beads in his hands with some sadness, the tranquility around him couldn't conceal the tension in Xiujia's heart.

The attendants around him were already extremely exhausted, but they didn't dare to take a breath when they were beside the Xiu family, for fear of disturbing their lord's thoughts.

Until late at night, Shigehiro Hojo, an attendant of the Hide family, came to change shifts with Yoshiya Satomi, and when he saw Yoshiya Satomi shook his head at him, saying that the Hide family had not rested until now.

Shigeko Hojo walked up to Xiujia and asked Xiujia, "Your Highness, it's almost time. Should you blow the conch horn to wake up the army?"

There are no clocks at this time, and when the end of the month falls again, the moon in the sky does not show up, and the perception of night time depends entirely on the feelings of the samurai.

Fortunately, after Hideka arrived in Japan, he made a simple clepsydra out of a bamboo tube, filled a clepsydra to indicate an hour, and there were two clepsydra in the military camp to measure time alternately.

Xiujia looked up at the sky, confirmed the approximate position of the Big Dipper, took a deep breath, and responded to him, "Blow the Faro, send people to wake up all the troops of the famous people, and inform them that the hot pot is enough to cook and eat." Get full and go on the road."

After the Xiu family finished speaking, they returned to the house and spread their hands. The attendants once again lit the candles around them, and stepped forward to dress the Xiu family neatly.

As the order was issued, the whole city of Guishan became uproarious, and the warriors began to urge the ashigaru to get up and prepare breakfast.

When the clothes are almost ready, the breakfast for Xiu's family is ready.Although it is a simple rice ball with pickled radish and miso soup, each rice ball has 3 red beans placed on it. This is a must-have food before the samurai goes out to battle, heralding victory in this battle.

And eating with him was Masakatsu Kameyamajo Daimaeda who also didn't sleep all night.

Kameyama Castle is the territory of Maeda Genichi. Naturally, it is impossible for Maeda Genichi to hand over this castle on his own initiative, but Maeda Genichi and his successor Maeda Hikoshiro (Shigekatsu) are both in Osaka Castle at the moment, and Kameyama Castle is actually owned by the second son. Zhengsheng is the city lord.

Maeda Genichi's eldest son, Hideyoshi, was punished by Hideyoshi for taking in Kiritan. After Maeda Genyi's order to convert him was rejected, he was deprived of his heir and Maeda's family name, and the heir went to the third son, Mogenfu's Shigekatsu.

But you must know that Maosheng and Zhengsheng were both born of Maeda Genyi's concubine, and the reason why Maosheng was the heir was simply because he and his mother liked Maeda Genyi more.

In fact, the life course after Masakatsu has always existed as the insurance of the Maeda family.

Just as the two sons of the Maeda family fought in the Eastern and Western armies, Masakatsu of the Maeda family also participated in the Aizu Conquest and the Battle of Sekigahara with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Do you think this is Maeda Genji pampering him?In fact, Genichi Maeda and his successor son Shigekatsu are in the Western Army.

After the war, because Maeda Genichi still assumed the position of court liaison, and Masakatsu's performance in the two wars was remembered by Tokugawa Ieyasu, this ensured the security of the Maeda family.

After the war, Masakatsu, who was the greatest hero, only obtained the knowledge of 1000 shi from two villages, continued to go to Edo as a hostage, and finally became the banner of the Tokugawa family.

If the showman didn't operate on such a script, he would really be sorry for himself.

So after the letter from the Xiu family promising to make him the lord of Guishan City was delivered, Zheng Sheng led his supporters to open the gate of Guishan City and let the Xiu family in directly.

As the last gateway from Tango to Kyoto, Kameyama Castle's bloodless Kaesong also ensured the secrecy and suddenness of Hideka's raid on Kyoto.

The Xiu family did not promise him to become the head of the Maeda family. If the Xiu family can directly dare to be the heir of the Maeda family, it must be the position of the governor of the Toyotomi family and Guan Bai.

So what the Xiu family agreed to was the status of the city lord of Guishan, and finally giving him 1/2 shi Zhixing was already the limit. As for how he understood it, it had nothing to do with the Xiu family.

Maeda Masakatsu had been taken by Xiujia's side after opening the city to Xiujia, mainly to prevent him from regretting revealing Xiujia's whereabouts halfway through.

But such an arrangement made Maeda Masakatsu a little uneasy, fearing that the Xiu family would return suddenly and even kill him, so this breakfast was actually not at ease.

Now that the battle is approaching, the Hide family intends to still take him with him. After all, his father Maeda Genichi has the position of the governor of Kyoto, and it will be more convenient to use Maeda Genyi's name to open the gates of Kyoto, especially the gates of Erjo City.

It's just that Xiu's family didn't tell Zheng Sheng about all these arrangements, and now when it's time for the battle, Xiu's family said to him after breakfast, "Later, I will trouble Hanjuro to go to Luo with me."

"Go... Shangluo?" Maeda Masakatsu did not immediately respond to the request of the Xiu family and asked the Xiu family again for confirmation.

"Yeah, with the participation of the Maeda family, Kyoto should be won more smoothly."

Maeda Masakatsu asked in surprise, "Kyoto! But didn't Your Highness say that as long as Kameyama opened the city and kept His Highness's whereabouts secret, His Highness would guarantee me the position of Kameyama City Lord? Why do I have to go to Luo now?"

"Hanjuro doesn't think Kameyama's kaicheng can guarantee the Maeda family's family name, right? As a rebellious minister, shouldn't the Maeda family's kaicheng be resigned? If you want to guarantee the family name, you have to pay something more."

Here, the Xiu family lied directly to him, labeling the Maeda family as rebels.In fact, the Hide family of Maeda family, one of the Five Obligations, cannot be moved. If Maeda Genji is moved, it is tantamount to moving the core interests of the Omi faction.

But the young Zhengsheng is not clear about all this, and after hearing Xiujia's request, he can only obediently agree.

Hideka's actions are very secretive. Unlike Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari, who have been called the Eastern and Western Armies by the world, the more than 5 troops led by Hideka have never shown up in the market. Let's use the Chinese Army for now. call.

After being awakened by the Xiu family, the soldiers of the Chinese army gathered under Guishan City after a round of preparations. Tens of thousands of people lit torches and almost illuminated the sky of Guishan City.

The villages around Guishan City have also been controlled by the Xiu family. The Xiu family doesn't expect any news from the village to leak out, but they also know that there may not be enough time for Chacha to react.

The Chinese army came to Guishan Castle in the evening yesterday, and they were awakened in the middle of the night after only a few hours of rest. The reason for waking them up so early was to be able to attack Kyoto and Shenglongsi Castle at the dawn of Buddha. Go on the offensive.

Although the daimyo and some important samurai already knew about Hideka's plan, the soldiers who were the bottom-level soldiers were not clear about their arrangements during this time.

In their view, they were recalled from North Korea. The reason why they stayed in Tango for a month and did not disband may be that His Highness Guan Bai wanted to summon them, a group of "ever victorious teachers".

The Xiu family could have said nothing to them. As the lowest rank in the army, all they had to do was follow the orders of their superiors, and they could fight wherever they were told. Killing someone for someone was not killing someone?

But the Xiu family always felt that there should be something to say. The change of the Honnoji Temple is too famous. The soldiers did not know that Hideyoshi was dead. With so many troops marching to Kyoto, if the soldiers misunderstood something, something might happen. Mutiny, it will not be beautiful if it affects the progress.

So before the army set off for the last time, Xiujia asked the daimyos to gather under the city of Guishan, looking at the soldiers below with torches, Xiujia shouted to them, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, Guan Bai The news that His Highness has died!"

Originally, the Xiu family wanted to use death or death, but after thinking about it, most of these soldiers are uneducated, and the straightforward vernacular might be more understandable.

As the samurai arranged by Xiujia conveyed what Xiujia said to the whole army, there was indeed a commotion within the army.Hideyoshi has been promoting himself since he became Guanbai, so it is natural to go deep into the minds of these soldiers. They are deeply impressed by the "invincible" general.

Before the army was stationed in Tango, and when it was transferred to Tanba and headed towards Kyoto, there were rumors and jokes in the army that Xiujia might want to learn from Wei Rengong and make another change in Juledi.

Now hearing the news of Hideyoshi's death, these soldiers were naturally shocked.Inevitably, they also murmured in their hearts, wouldn't their own name really follow Mr. Xiu to raise troops to deal with Guan Bai's heir, right?
Xiujia gave the soldiers in the audience some time to calm down and continued. "Perhaps you don't even know that not only His Royal Highness Guan Bai, but also his son Hideaki Yamashiro Dainagon passed away together."

"There is a traitor in the court!" The Xiu family suddenly raised the volume and shouted to the people below, "Otherwise, why would His Highness Guan Bai die in the capital together with the next Guan Bai!"

There is no need to explain many real inside stories of the imperial court to the soldiers below. They prefer to hear a precise enemy, and a clear image of good and bad guys makes it easier for them to understand their enemies.

"Not long ago, Toyotomi Daimyo of Gifu City led the Kyushu and Western Kingdom daimyos to raise troops to seek justice for His Royal Highness Kanbai and Lord Hideaki!"

"Nowadays, the world has resumed the chaos of war, and the two armies of the East and the West are fighting together in Harima, and the world may return to the time of the chaos of Yingren!

Everyone, are you willing to lose the peace you have waited so hard for?Would you like your sons and brothers to be dragged into the battlefield again, and would you like to see the enemy invade your village again? "

The soldiers don't understand the righteousness of the world, but they still know what peace is.Although North Korea has been conquered in recent years, Japan is still relatively peaceful.

Although the tax is as high as before, at least the daimyo will not attack each other, there will be no more random arrests and sweeps, and the soldiers and children will be relatively peaceful.

After the Xiu family finished speaking, he was going to wait for the soldiers below to give a response, but the only response to him was the chattering voices below.

Some people are saying, "When Guan Bai ruled, it was similar to the past. What is the difference between this so-called peace and the past? Aren't we going to fight the same?"

"It's different. When Guan Bai was here, we fought against North Korea. The trophies we robbed were all from foreign countries, but no one came to rob us."

"Oh, so that's the case, then peace is really a good thing."

The understanding of the ordinary soldiers was really pure. In the end, it was the Kwantung Army on the Xiu family's side who shouted "I don't want to", and it was finally guided to the whole army so that the Xiu family would not feel embarrassed.

The silence of the audience just now also made Xiujia understand, let alone the righteousness of the world, under Hideyoshi's rule, these people have never experienced what peace and happiness are, so they can't feel the difference from the Warring States Period.

Shouting out to them for peace is not enough to motivate them.

So the Xiu family said to them, "I'm going to be a rebel army today, to urge the two sides to sit down and talk again, to bring peace back to the world, and to supervise the court to sweep out the traitors!"

These are the words of the Dali scene, and they are for the daimyo and senior warriors present. Although they all scoffed at what Hideka said, the process still has to go.

"Conquer the capital, wipe out the traitors, and bring peace to the world. I am the master for His Royal Highness Guan Bai, and all the property in Juledi belongs to you!"

"Juledi?? Wealth??"

Thousands of words are not worth the last sentence. The story of Hideyoshi winning the world's wealth in Juledi has long been spread all over the world through children's nursery rhymes.

The common people at the bottom all believed that Guan Bai lived a life of extravagance and lust, and those in Juledi owned the wealth of the whole world.

Therefore, when the Xiu family promised to give them Ju Ledi's goods as a reward, the bewildered eyes of the soldiers present gathered again, revealing greed in their eyes.

"Grab money! Grab food! Grab"

No, that's too vulgar.The old man on the stage has said that we are "righteous soldiers" who came to Luoyang for the sake of righteousness, and we came to "sweep out traitors and bring peace to the world."

Although most of the low-level samurai and ashigaru present did not understand the meaning of these 8 characters, it did not prevent them from shouting slogans.

As long as the first person yelled out these 8-character slogans, the mobilized soldiers would follow one after another. Of course, it would be different to say what was in their minds.

Xiujia encouraged the soldiers to mobilize their emotions, and then referred to the three chapters of Oda Nobunaga Shangluo's agreement with the soldiers.

The soldiers who were stimulated by money are now thinking about the finances of Juledizhong, so they naturally responded to Xiujia's request.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Xiujia waved his finger to the east and said, "Let's go! Let's take down the capital, wipe out the traitors in the court, and bring peace to the world."

The soldiers responded by "sweeping out the traitors and bringing peace to the world."

But that's all there is to it, the rest of the road Xiujia asked the soldiers to never make a sound while biting the cloth in their mouths, and followed their superiors silently to the established goal throughout the whole process.

There are two son-mother cities between Danba and Yamashiro State, namely Boss City and Dagua City.The guards in the city had been captured by the soldiers sent by the Xiu family in advance to cooperate with the ninja army. The army only rested in the city for more than ten minutes before embarking on the journey again.

The first to separate were Shimadzu Yoshihiro and others. They needed to go south to take down Katsuryuji Castle, Yodo Castle, and Kumiyama Castle. Continue heading east.

When they came to the Katsura River in the upper reaches of the Yodo River, Hideie said goodbye to Asano Yukunaga again.Here, Asano Yukunaga will continue to drive east to Yusenji Temple, while Hideka will turn north to Kyoto.

On the occasion of parting, Xiujia hereby told Xingchang to be careful on the road, and asked him to bring Beizhengsuo and Kobayakawa Hideaki to meet him in Kyoto after he took control of Kyoto.

Watching Yukinaga Asano and the flames of his army gradually disappearing, Hideka still did not act until the flames disappeared from sight, and then the attendant next to him asked Hideka, "My lord, time is running out, are we here?" Hurry up now?"

However, Xiujia's response was "no rush."

Hideka actually has his own plan. According to information, there are still 3000 Toyotomi Banners and 500 Huangmu Yizhong in Kyoto. The most important thing is that there is a group of imperial guards. This is the guard established by Hideyoshi on top of Huang Muyi. The army is the elite among the elite.

He was waiting for the news of the fight from Yongquan Temple, and it should be almost time.

In his arrangement, the first group of people to attack Yongquan Temple was the Ninja Army of Sanzhicheng Tsuge, and the number of them was only a few hundred people.

After the battle at Yongquan Temple, the people there will quickly notify the samurai staying behind in Kyoto. When they hear that there are not many rebels, they should withdraw part of the army from Kyoto and go south to support Yongquan Temple.

After all, the Beizheng Office and Xiuqiu in Yongquan Temple are political pawns that Chacha cannot give up easily.

And after that is the real main force to win Yongquan Temple, the Ibaraki people led by Asano Yukunaga and the Omi two counties mobilized by Sanada Nobushige.

They will resist the offensive of Toyotomi Banner, who came to support, at Yusenji Temple, and Hideka will take this opportunity to launch an attack on Kyoto.

Of course, a large number of ninja soldiers will be sacrificed for this purpose, and even Tsusue Sannojo, who was specially arranged by the Xiu family, may die in Yongquan Temple.

But this is war, and these are the costs.

Without them deceiving the defenders of Kyoto, Nijo Castle and Kyoto with more than 3000 people would be difficult to take in a short time.

In fact, the incident was happening as Xiujia previewed. Soon after, a ninja ran to Xiujiatong and reported to Xiujiatong, "My lord, the Nijo Castle sent troops to the south, and the number was about 1500."

"Now, it's time." Hearing the news, the Xiu family took his pocket from the attendant and put it on his head, rode two steps forward to leave the team, turned around and said to the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, "My lords! In Nijo Castle!"

Don't rush to update, I will write again, write again
