Pillars of the Wu family

Through Ishikawa Suzumasa's explanation, the pedigree of the Oda family knew the plight of the ally Matsudaira Ieyasu. The Kiku Ichikui who suddenly appeared in the country gathered more than [-] people. This is not an ordinary Ichikui riot. It was the collective resistance of the martial arts group who gradually figured out the program of action and had political appeals.

Oda Nobunaga did not make a specific statement on the spot, but just said something about the scene where the body was tired and more attention should be paid to rest, so he sent Ishikawa Shuzheng to the annex to rest first, and waited for Ishikawa Shuzheng to leave anxiously. Said: "The gentlemen heard it very clearly just now, what do you think?"

"Send troops to help! We must send troops as soon as possible, and this Ju Yikui must not be allowed to annex Sanhe Kingdom!" Ikeda Hengxing said firmly.

Kawajiri Hidetaka hesitated, "What about the Mino war?"

"This..." Ikeda Hengxing scratched his forehead and said naively, "Maybe I just let it go!"

Immediately, some samurai stood up and raised objections, especially Lailong Hachiya, who was in charge of attacking Mino, strongly opposed to interfering with the Mikawa Kingdom: "Although the chaos in the Mihe Kingdom is serious, if it boils down to the public anger caused by the Matsudaira Tibetan Highness This caused several forces to join forces to impose sanctions on the Matsudaira family, and I think that the lord must not interfere too deeply in this matter, so as not to trap my Oda family as well!"

"Hachiya Hyogo Palace is serious! I became a politician and thought that this is a good opportunity to interfere with the Mikawa Kingdom. In the past, the former lord often lamented the pain of losing the Nishi Mikawa Territory. Now the Mikawa Kingdom has been lost in the hands of the Matsudaira Tibetan Hall. This is a good opportunity for my Oda family to aggressively attack Xisanhe, so when will we wait if we don’t move at this time?” Sasao Naruma is a learned and talented warrior, and he has nothing to do with a few words from Ming books that are very fashionable.

Sakai Masanaka, who is also from Mino, questioned: "According to Uchizosukeden's intention, taking down Xisanhe is an easy move, right? I just don't know what strategy Uchizosuke has to deal with the [-] chrysanthemums, and how to tell the allies What about Matsudaira Kurinden's explanation?"

Sasa Naruma was dumbfounded when asked, and the many young samurai who originally supported and aided the Matsudaira family were also a little at a loss. Mizuno Nobumoto, who was born in Nishi Mikawa, complained dissatisfiedly: "It's not right for Ukon Weiden to say that. There are not only many samurai in Ju Yikui, but also the frightening Ichikui. These believers are not samurai and do not follow the rules. They may endanger the safety of my Oda family at any time! If you don’t care at this time, Sanhe will always be in the future Once the general trend becomes successful, it may become a big cancer in Tōkaidō.” [

"Shimono Shouden is right! Then Kaga Ichikui is so powerful, we can't let a Kaga Izumozong appear in Tōkaidō!" Mizuno Tadamitsu's positive speech brought the situation back.

The following discussion involved most of the samurai in the retainer regiment. They can be roughly divided into two factions who advocate the continuation of the Mino strategy and those who advocate the strategy of Sanhe. The samurai think that if they don't move at this time, they will face serious troubles. The two samurai have their own reasons, and they can all speak well and are very reasonable.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi is one of the members who advocated fighting the Mikawa faction.It’s just that his opinion is completely different from that of Sasao Narumasa. He was smart and didn’t make a fuss about the land of Mikawa, but chose to take Ise Nagashima’s Izumozu’s move as an example, letting Isekozu’s restrained expansion continue, in Owari Kingdom On the east and west sides of the temple, there will be two huge gathering places for Yizong believers.

When the Ise and Mikawa Ichiko monks come to Owari to preach, whether to accept or reject it will become a thorny issue. If you choose to accept, will you also have to consider the crisis that Matsudaira Ieyasu has fallen into.I believe that Ishiyama Honganji would be happy to see Tokaido become a replica of the Hokuriku Issoko clan. After all, Tokaido's agriculture is more developed and its territory is richer.

If you refuse, it will be to create an excuse for the Nagashima Ichikozong and Mikawa Ichikozong. Many believers on both sides will have an excuse to attack the Owari Oda family at the same time. How confident the Oda family can withstand the two sides is still a serious problem. If it cannot be eliminated The turmoil caused by the Mikawa Isato clan will definitely lead to a hard life for the Oda family in the future.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's clear thinking and novel angles immediately attracted the attention of many talented warriors. Oda Nobunaga picked up the folding fan and tapped the floor lightly, saying: "Matsudaira Tibetans are allies of our family and must provide support. The plan to interfere with Sanhe is too deep. Sanhe’s Yiyikui must be interfered, but Songping Tibetans should be given a chance to show their determination, Ju Yikui is another theory.”

Oda Nobunaga's seemingly incoherent speech shocked the spirits of the samurai present. Kinoshita Hideyoshi tried to understand the meaning of this sentence with flickering eyes, and secretly said: "My lord's intention should still be to attack Mino. , the suppression of Sanhe is limited to suppressing the flooding of Yixiangyikui... Could it be that he hopes that the Songping Tibetan Hall will clean up Yixiangyikui? Ju Yikui..."

There were many samurai who were thinking wildly. Shibata Katsuie held his chin with one hand and stroked his mustache lightly thinking: "This Kikuichikui seems to have a lot of ambition! The Matsudaira family tree, headed by the Okusa Matsudaira family and the Sakurai Matsudaira family, is represented by the Arakawa family. The old generals of the former Mikawa Kira clan headed by Kai Mori and Nishio Oki Mori, and the Ichikui Army headed by Mikawa Sanji, these three parties are planning to join hands to rule the Mikawa Kingdom!"

"The Matsudaira Tibetan Hall is very dangerous. It's better to act sooner rather than later!" Niwa Nagahide said something ambiguous, and then said: "I just wonder if my lord can figure out how to face Kikuichi's anger? These warriors are pregnant I am struggling with some persistence and belief. The power behind it may be very strong."

Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Mi Goro is playing meditation with my family again... Forget it! Let's settle this matter like this! Quan Liu, and San, you two bring You Zuo, Shinhachiro, Gorohachi, Fujihachi and others led [-] troops to Mikawa, and supported Okazaki Castle with Mizuno Shimono at the fore! Remember your mission, if you take your own army into it, don’t come back Already!"

"Yes! Your servant will definitely complete the mission!" Shibata Katsuya and Mori Kasei bowed to obey the order, especially the former's excited prostration thanked Oda Nobunaga for his kindness. This is the first time he has served as a general since he was left behind. , for him is the beginning of regaining reuse, and the beginning of abandoning the dark history left by him in the past.

Oda Nobunaga took a pen and paper and swiped a few times to write a document, dropped the brush and said, "Fujikichiro! You take the decree from your family and go to Mikawa country to hand it over to Nishio Oki, Arakawa Kai, and Okusa Matsudaira. Chang Jiudian, Sakurai Matsudaira's Kanmonoden, your mission is to communicate with these highnesses the will of the family, and you must persuade them to accept the decision to eliminate Yiyikui."

Sensing several dazzling gazes from all around, if these gazes were swords, he must have been buried to death, Kinoshita Hideyoshi suppressed his excitement forcibly, and quickly saluted: "Yes! I must do my best! No Live up to the great trust of the lord!"

……

Within a few days, a piece of news circulated in the Tokaido. The Oda Army announced the intervention of Kikuichi Kui, Shibata Katsuie, and Mori Kasunari, who led Maeda Toshiie, Asai Masaki, Kanamori Nagachi, Sawaki Ryoyuki, etc. to form a force. During the process, Kiku Ichikui let them pass with little reaction, triggering various speculations from all parties in Tōkaidō. [

Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kasunari are two strong generals in power, and they are all members of Oda Nobunaga's most trusted mother-in-law. As soon as the three thousand elites arrived, Yachiichi, who rushed to Shanggongji, was beaten to death After fleeing in defeat, they swept across a large area on the south bank of the Yahagi River with almost a complete victory, forcibly sweeping away most of the Matsudaira family's crisis.

During this period, Kiku Ichikui was completely indifferent to Mikawa Izumomune's request for help, as if an old machine that was short of oil stopped turning, and there was a huge credit for Kinoshita Hideyoshi's proper tuning. It only takes a few days to mobilize several forces in an unfamiliar place. This ability and insight are enough to make him jump into Oda Nobunaga's vision.

In fact, there is no need for Kinoshita Hideyoshi to adjust, this large group of chrysanthemums that are forcibly kneaded together will collapse sooner or later, but under the influence of monkeys, this potential crisis was detonated early. The so-called internal problems of chrysanthemums are very serious. The rebel system of the Matsudaira family and the remnant party system of the Mikawa Kira family disliked each other. Several times of cooperation, they did not help each other and hindered each other. In the end, they evolved into a vile situation where they were playing their own way and ignoring each other.

The other one is the infighting of the multi-headed power. Yoshihiro Arakawa and Yoshiji Nishio both claim to be the direct descendants of the Mikawa Kira family. Fen is far away in Musashi country, so young, it is sure that he will not come back for a while, and seizing the power of replacement is equivalent to actually controlling the control of the Nishimikawara Kira Territory. This is the wealthy territory that the Kira family has cultivated for many years. Such a large piece How could the territory keep the two from being tempted.

Matsudaira Masahisa of Okusa Matsudaira's family and Matsudaira family of Sakurai Matsudaira's family are similarly in the same situation, but the quarrel between the two is not as big as that of the uncle and nephew of Mikawa Kira's family. Both sides play their own systems and no one is willing to cooperate. Who is afraid that he will become the retainer of the other party? This is not the biggest problem. The most troublesome thing is that the traitors of the Songping family who have always been troublesome are starting to regret it.

At the beginning, the rebellion was because Matsudaira Ieyasu had done too much, violated their pure belief in the Ichiko sect and tarnished their glorious image of the family governor, so they resolutely led the rebellion under the instigation of some relatives and friends, but as time went by The chaotic organization and multi-management of the Kui army have always exposed the disadvantages of determining power and interests. Many samurai began to regret their reckless behavior at the beginning.
