Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 779

The situation changed like a tornado, and Xiujia's mood turned 180° several times in a few minutes.In the end, the Xiu family decided to make a fuss about this matter in front of all the big names.

Please note that Xiujia used "make trouble" instead of "speak." This is because Xiujia fell into Xiuzhen's arms after crying for a while, and successfully pretended to faint.

"Youfu!" "Brother!" "My lord!"

The Hide family cried endlessly, brought Hideji and "nephews" with them, and successfully attracted the attention of the daimyos.As a result, in the blink of an eye, Xiujia collapsed before he finished speaking, which aroused the curiosity of the daimyos even more.

After Fujido Takahu and Iwaki Lilong sent people to send Xiujia to the city to recuperate, they surrounded Xiuzhen and Fujido Takahu one after another, thinking about it, and wanted to know from their mouths what the Xiujia had gone through.

The result was just as the Xiu family expected, they were all shocked by the killing of Xiu Ci and his whole family.People kept coming to confirm with the two of them, "Is this what the Tokugawa government is alleging? Is it confirmed by Kitanosho's counselor? Aren't they blood brothers?"

Later, they heard about the "retouched" changes in Hachiman Mountain Castle from the two of them.

"You mean, the Tokugawa government even took the sick Sakuma Kaga with them, and then staged a coup in Kinki and killed them all?" Date Masamune was the one who asked, and he was unwilling to believe that wisdom Ieyasu Tokugawa would make such a crazy move.

However, it was Toyotomi Hidetada who said this. Don't look at him with the name Toyotomi Nae, he is Tokugawa Ieyasu's own son!
In the cognition of daimyo, how can any son make up bad things about Lao Tzu like this?The credibility of what he said must be very high.

After hearing the news, the daimyos were all uneasy, because the operation of these two things was too embarrassing for them!

In today's words, "I have grown up so much and been in the industry for so long, I have never seen such an unreasonable operation!"

The daimyos felt that their world view was about to collapse, and they desperately wanted to find a savior.However, Xiu's family "fainted" at the moment, and the big names could only seek advice from Xiuzhen one after another.

Xiuzhen enjoyed being admired by all the stars, but he said clearly, "Everyone, what's the use of being urgent?
Your Majesty You Fu convulsions coma, everything will have to wait until he wakes up to make up his mind, and maybe the news from my retainers is wrong, so let's talk about it after you have confirmed it. "

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, the spies in the hands of all the famous people spread out one after another to prove the accuracy of the news that Xiuzhen said.

But in just a dozen days, the farthest they went back and forth was to Kanto and Tokaido to confirm the news.The way to confirm the news is mostly word of mouth in rural cities and towns, and when people spread the news, they will naturally speak in a serious direction to highlight the explosive nature of the news.

Just a few days later, Date Masamune, Satake Yoshinobu and others were the first to receive replies, because they already had spies scattered in Kanto, and they all confirmed the accuracy of Toyotomi Hidetada's story.

What's more, the Sakamoto he heard was even more terrified than the Sakamoto that Xiuzhen said.

For example, the Satake family found news from the Uesugi family that Tokugawa and Toyotomi Hidekatsu slaughtered Hideji and Hideho's family, and Sakuma, Fukushima and other daimyos were also tricked into doing it at the banquet.

This was not enough, Osaka issued a crusade order against Hokuriku Sakuma, Asano and other daimyos, with Uesugi Kagekatsu and Toyotomi Hidekatsu in charge.

"This is going to steal the family and exterminate the family!"

In just a few days, the samurai residence where the Hide family cultivated at the Iwagi family was almost trampled by the daimyo.Even Yoshinobu Satake, who was originally close to Osaka, took the initiative to visit Hideka and wanted to ask Hideka for his opinion.

And Xiujia is taking advantage of these few days to confirm with Xiuzhen and Fujido Takahu the situation of mobilization and armament preparation in the territory.

He has already made up his mind to take this opportunity to stabilize the world in one fell swoop. This is an opportunity given to the Xiu family by heaven, if he fails to grasp it, he will definitely suffer from it.

"It is impossible to wait for all the troops on the Ezo side to be transported to the front line within 3 to 5 months, but now the opportunity is urgent, and we should fight a decisive battle as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the mobilization ratio in the territory, and make preparations for the extreme mobilization in the territory before the Ezo Army returns.

Sado, the total strength of our coalition forces in this battle may exceed 15. You must prepare the corresponding one-year military rations. "

"Your Highness, don't worry, the army rations have already been hoarded in Fengchun, Fujisawa, Suqiao and other cities."

Fujido Takatora is absolutely at ease working in Hideo's family, otherwise he would not have set off to Ezo and never returned for 4 years, entrusting him with full responsibility for the affairs of the general.

"Yu Yisong, your territory is very close. If I want you, I can go back and mobilize again. The 1 people you brought to Ezo have not yet come. You need to mobilize another 1 people in the territory. Then you can enter Aizu control Aizu full collar.

At that time, you will still enter Etsu from Aizu, but the goal will change from helping the Uesugi clan to resist Gifu." Hideka paused for a moment before continuing, "It becomes a crusade against the Uesugi traitors. "

"Fight against Uesugi? A traitor?" Although she had absolute trust in the Xiu family's arrangement, when hearing this request, Xiuzhen still asked with some doubts, "His Highness Uesugi is well known, and now you want to say that he is Traitor, the world probably won't be convinced."

"I didn't say that Senator Uesugi was a traitor, I meant that you were responsible for hunting down the traitor of Uesugi's family. That guy named Naoe Kanatsuki!"

"Noe Yamashiro Mamoru?" This time it was Todo Takatora's turn to be surprised. To be honest, he and Naoe Kanetsugu had a pretty good relationship.

"Don't you guys think all of this is too coincidental? Starting from Naoe Kanatsuki insulting Zuofu and provoking Gifu to send troops, maybe it was a big game!

As an accompanying minister, but he hooked up with the ministers in Osaka and illegally framed the lord's hindsight, it was really appalling!

I also heard that His Majesty Gifu has evidence that the Uesugi family built castles, forged weapons, trained soldiers, and invaded Mogami and Etsuchu privately, right? "

After hearing the reason given by Xiujia, the two looked at each other to confirm the information.Most of them are still accurate, but is the last one true about the attack on Mogami and Etchu?
While the two were still tangled, the Toyotomi politician sitting next to the Hide family took the initiative to say: "Father's words are true. I also heard that Naoe Kanesuke was in charge of the military and political power of the Uesugi family. He is really a traitorous official, change him!"

After hearing this, Xiujia glanced at the 16-year-old boy and gave him a childish expression.Ezo's training has made him grow a lot, and he has become more powerful.

The son of the Hide family took the lead, Xiuzhen and Todo Takahu naturally understood what the Hide family meant, nodded and said, "Just like what my elder brother (the lord) and Asahi Saburo (the young lord) said, this Naoe Kanetsugu is really a sycophant." Ah. It seems that this time the world is in chaos, it has nothing to do with it!"

Hideka also added a flattering sentence, saying, "His Highness Uesugi emptied Naoe's treacherous official, and His Highness Koriyama led the army to rescue him. Such a good story will surely be eulogized in the historical records of Japan, and the wisdom of His Highness will be recited all over the world."

"This time is an opportunity given to us by God. The situation in the world is already in chaos, and it is an opportunity to reshuffle the cards. At the top, the world is under my control, and at the bottom, Fengchun and Koriyama are oppressed by Osaka, and they will not be able to raise their heads for a hundred generations. .

Although you and I are not real brothers, we are better than real brothers. At this critical moment, I would like to share with you this beautiful feast called "The World"! "

Regarding the flattery of the Xiu family, Toyotomi Xiuzhen was also very excited and said, "My brother has been waiting for a long time!"

"You have some former Tokugawa ministers in your family, and although some of them are enlisted in the conquest of Ezo, you need to deal with them well this time when you are attacking Uesugi.

Although it is true that they need to be guarded against, when you inherit the Tokaido in the future, they must be the basis of your rule.

They are all warriors of the powerful clan in the Warring States Period, so it is natural to know that the relationship between them is strong.Now that you have ruled them for nearly 20 years, it depends on your operation whether the kindness of the old master will never be forgotten, or the kindness of the current king will win. "

--------------

After talking with Todo Takatora and Toyotomi Hidetada, the two hurriedly left Fukushima Castle, while Hideie began to accept greetings from the daimyos on the pretext of being in better health, and met with them one-on-one to talk about their thoughts, and have an open and honest talk Check the conditions.

In fact, when he was sick, Hideya was not idle. Messengers from Honmaru in Fukushima Castle rushed out every day, and after arriving in Edo, they sent Hideya's letters to all over Japan.

Including Sakuma, Hori, Asano and other families in Hokuriku, the Hide family said that if they want the three families to stick to it and wait for help, they will send troops to come if they can.In the letter, they stated that they were victims of persecution, and Xiujia would definitely uphold justice for them.And said that after the world is stable, there will be more rewards for their achievements.

Among them, Sakuma and Asano Hideka didn't even promise to award anything, because the two had no choice.If you don't resist Osaka, you will only be dealt with.

But Horie had a choice, Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately sent a pacifying messenger, so Hideka said in the letter that he could give Echigo Bankuni 40 koku of security.

In addition, there are Nagamune Naomo and Tachibana Zongshige from Shikoku, Naoshima Naoshige and Tachibana Zongshige from Kyushu. Hideka asked them to suppress Bungo, Bungzen, and Chikuzen Shikoku in Kyushu.

The Hide family promised that Tachibana Soshige would get all of Bungo, the Chomunegabu family would return Tosa Ikkuni, and Nabeshima Naoshige would get Chikugo Ikkuni and Hizen most parts with no less than 30 koku.

In addition, Higo's Kato Kiyomasa and Satsuma's Shimadzu family both received letters from Hideo, in which Hideo made a generous promise, hoping that they could cooperate with sending troops from Shikoku to suppress Kibi.

Since the current situation is very different from the officials in history, daimyos such as Kato and Kuroda did not follow Hideka to the northern expedition to Ezo. Naturally, it is impossible to directly follow Tokugawa Ieyasu from east to west as in history.

However, through adjustments, Xiujia can still let the western daimyo and Xiujia oppress Osaka from the east and west, and Xiujia's chances of winning will increase a lot.

Back at the meeting site, the first person to be interviewed was Toshitaka Iwaki, the lord of Fukushima Castle. Many people may have forgotten that this person was the son of Maeda Toshiie, the historical Maeda Toshimasa.

He accompanied the Hide family to the Northern Expedition to Ezo. When Ezo went south, the Hide family had talked with him, expressing the hope that he could go south with him to King King (the enemy at the time was Hideji), and he would be rewarded according to his military achievements after the war.

But now the enemy has changed, and the Maeda family who are attached to Osaka may all become enemies, so the Hide family naturally wants to talk to him again.

"The servants should also know what happened in Kinki these days. Since ancient times, there have been famous people who were defeated and killed, and there were also those who were beheaded when they rebelled, but it is common to hear of those who wiped out their families without fault. I don't know what the servants said. What's your opinion?"

"Didn't the Eyou Mansion tell me that the Zuo Mansion was rebellious when I was in Hakodate? Why are you saying it's nothing wrong now?"

"Huh?" After hearing this, Xiujia's eyes widened, staring at Yancheng Lilong with some fear.

Lilong Yancheng was afraid of the eyes of the Xiu family, and hurriedly made up for himself: "His Royal Highness, I mean to deal with His Royal Highness Zuo Fu's final order from Osaka, shall we discuss it after verification?"

"Am I going to attack Osaka?" Hearing Lilong Iwaki's answer, Hideka said dissatisfiedly, "I am going to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hidekatsu. The lord is still young, so the two of them must have done such a rebellious thing." It came out! This is the so-called side of the Qing emperor!"

"But." Yancheng Lilong was still hesitating, but the Xiu family had already offered their own bargaining chip, "Do you want to live in the Northeast for the rest of your life? Don't you want to inherit the knowledge and practice of the Maeda family?"

"Inherit the Maeda family?"

Seeing Lilong's mouth in Yancheng, the Xiu family continued to seduce: "The Maeda family now has 50 shi."

"50 stones" Lilong Yancheng swallowed his saliva nervously. It would be a lie to say that he didn't desire the 50 stones, but that was the knowledge of his brother and father after all.

The Maeda Kai family’s family education is very good. Historically, Maeda Toshimasa’s standing on the side of Osaka means Toshika. Toshimasa knew that the forces would not stand here, but he went to be good to Osaka without hesitation, in order to leave a guarantee for the Maeda family’s bet on both sides.

After he was finally changed, his elder brother Toshicho took good care of him. Although he did not regain his daimyo status in the end, he has always been in charge of politics as the old Tian family.

Therefore, Maeda Toshimasa would not easily stand aside without his father's permission.

But the situation is different now, he married a woman from the Yancheng family, and had a son from the Yancheng family, with the Miao character of the Yancheng family on his head, his status and environment are completely different.

But the Miao character of Yancheng is destined to limit his upper limit, and now it is quite far away from Osaka, how can he get in touch with Maeda Toshiie?
Seeing that Lilong Iwaki hesitated, Hideka continued to enlighten him: "The Maeda family has already stood by Osaka, and holds an important position in Osaka. With the wisdom of Maeda's counselor, he must hope that another son will stand on the opposite side, so that even if one side is defeated Don't blame the Maeda family too much.

If you go to Luo with me, this is not only giving you another chance, but also giving the Maeda family a chance. "

The location of Fukushima Castle is too important. It can directly cut off the traffic between Mutsu, Dewa and Iwashiro. If Iwaki Ritaka does not follow Hideka, it is very likely that this road will be blocked directly, blocking the arrival of reinforcements behind.

This is also the reason why the Xiu family insisted on persuading him to agree. Even if they brought him with them, the Xiu family would be willing to fight without him. Of course, whether the final promise can inherit the complete 50 shi of the Maeda family depends on his will. show.

Facts have proved that as long as the right medicine is prescribed, one person can be successfully taken in. Lilong Yancheng was indifferent to the persuasion of the Xiu family, but after moving out of Maeda Toshi's house, he soon wavered and expressed his willingness to go to Los Angeles with the Xiu family.
