Warring States Eagle

Chapter 444 "Death" Maori

Ouchi's strategy in Izumo failed, and Ouchi Yoshitaka returned after a disastrous defeat.

From the information sent back by the detective, this time Yoshitaka Ouchi really failed miserably.Although Zhengliang knew in his memory that Ouchi Yoshitaka's strategy against Izumo this time would end in failure.But when he was personally in this era and learned about Ouchi Yoshitaka's defeat in detail, Masatoshi had to marvel at the extent of Ouchi Yoshitaka's fiasco.

Since Ouchi's several attacks on Nizi's house in April this year ended in failure, the Nizi's army has fought more and more, and the more they fought, the stronger they became.Under Ouchi Yoshitaka's tent, many wealthy Chinese who came to watch the wind secretly accepted Nizi Haruhisa's bribe (of course, some of them were pretended to join the Ouchi family's camp under Nizi Haruhisa's instigation), Sandaoya, Misawa, The city took its troops and threw them into Yueshan Futian Castle. Yoshikawa Xingjing raised the flag in Xiaocangshan to block the rear of the Ouchi army, and the Hema Party under Nizi continued to fight guerrilla warfare to cut off the Ouchi army. The army's long and fragile food road.

On May [-]th, Ouchi Yoshitaka withdrew his camp at Jingluo Mushan, and the Ouchi Army began to collapse.At this time, Tao Longfang, who was somewhat guilty, took the initiative to ask the lord Yilong to take a safer sea route, while he led his troops to the rear to resist the fierce pursuit of the Nizi army, and organized a brigade to retreat from Iwami to defend Zhoumen.Ouchi Yoshitaka's eyes were full of tears. At the critical moment, my Goro was reliable, but what I didn't expect was that the tragedy of Ouchi's family happened on the sea road.

When Ouchi Yoshitaka boards a boat, he must take his adopted son Harumi with him.He took good care of the child, but the two of them hadn't traveled far on the boat when they encountered many Ouchi soldiers who enthusiastically asked for a ride.Everyone has to worry about running for their lives.And Ouchi Haruchi is a loyal person.There was no phenomenon of Xu Chu hacking people with a knife.Soon countless officers and soldiers attached to the ship like ants, that is overloading, and overloading means capsizing the ship.

Qingchi's boat capsized, and Yilong on the other boat wept, because Qingchi left in a hurry and was still wearing armor, but sank into the sea like a rice dumpling, and even the bones could not be found.I knew it earlier.Let Qingmochi and Takafusa go overland together, maybe they can save their lives, or this is life.

After hearing the news of Ouchi Haruchi's death, Zheng Liang couldn't help sighing.After all, Ouchi Haruchi is one of the few generals in Ouchi's family who have a good relationship with Masaragi.Didn't expect it to be gone.Or, this is really life.

The death of Ouchi Harumi was nothing but a sigh to Masamune.But for Ouchi Yoshitaka, this blow is a big deal.

Ouchi Haruchi's biological father is Tosa Nakamura, and his mother is Ouchi Yoshitaka's older sister.He was adopted by Ouchi Yoshitaka when he was three years old.He became the adopted son of Ouchi Yoshitaka.Due to his proficiency in both civil and military skills, his accomplishments in Japanese music such as waka and orchestra are also relatively prominent.And because of the descendants of the famous family of the public family, Ouchi Yoshitaka dotes on him very much, and even regards him as another future hero of the Ouchi family.It can be said that Ouchi Haruchi is a spiritual sustenance of Ouchi Yoshitaka.Today, the spiritual sustenance has collapsed.

Now we have to see if Yoshitaka Ouchi really fell into a downturn as history said.If it is really the same as history, then the Luo family will seize this period of time to take advantage of the opportunity to rise, at least to grow into a powerful name that the big family dare not interfere with its policy strategy casually.Now even though Ouchi Yoshitaka is defeated, the Ouchi family is still a powerful daimyo whose overall national strength is several times greater than that of the Luo family.

Such a defeat by Ouchi Yoshitaka has a far-reaching impact.

In addition to Luo's family, the first is Otomo's family.Although the emergence of the Luo family led to the emergence of a battle that did not appear in the original history at the end of last year, but with the death of Haruchi Ouchi, the enmity between the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family is still unavoidable .

Next is Nizi's house.According to historical development, after defeating the Ouchi family in this battle, the Nizi family regained its previous prestige. Nizi Haruhisa also took the opportunity to re-enter Iwami, occupied Iwami Yinshan, and gained important financial support.Later, in the name of ineffective combat and impure stance, a large number of Izumo people were exiled, and the feudal territories of the big clans such as Sanzawa and Sandaoya were also reduced, and the iron ore trade in southern Izumo was monopolized. The land is moving towards the unification of daimyo power, and the heyday of the Nizi family is being built.

Finally, there is the Mori family.Taking advantage of the time that Ouchi and Nizi had no time to take care of, Mao Liyuan implemented a plan in Anyun that could effectively govern the people of the country and expand the power of the Maori family. This plan was matured before the Battle of Junshan Castle. It was finally possible to implement it concretely, and this is the famous "Two Chuan System".

"Two Rivers" refers to the Yoshikawa in the north of Anyun, and the Kobayakawa in the south of Anyun. These two families are very important in Anyun: the Yoshikawa family is located at the junction of Anyun and Iwami, while the Kobayakawa family controls the Seto Inland Sea. Transportation, and has an excellent navy team. The terrible thing is that these two are not weak in Anyun, let them listen to the discussions of big names like Ouchi and Nizi, and the Maoli family, what do you think? Which onion, who didn't know who's background before? But at this time of the situation, some disputes and dilemmas between the two families provided Mao Liyuan with an opportunity to infiltrate.

The first is the civil strife in the Yoshikawa family. According to the development of history, soon the family governor, Yoshikawa Kosuke, reused a retainer named Oshioemonwei in order to strengthen his own power, which aroused the anger of the Yoshikawa family. resentment.Especially Yoshikawa Kosuke's uncle, Yoshikawa Keisei, has great power and prestige in the clan, and is extremely dissatisfied with his nephew Kokyo's behavior of reusing people with foreign surnames. People's resentment boiled over.Yoshikawa Jingshi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent an assassin to kill Dayan, and then Jingshi discussed with the rest of Yoshikawa's important ministers, and simply greeted Mo Liyuan and took over the Yoshikawa family.As a result, the official family governor, Yoshikawa Xingjing, and his son, Master Qian, were tied up by the tribe and retainers, and sent to the Fukagawa Pavilion, where they were "secluded".Later, Mori Moto sent Shaosuke Jiro (this is the grandson of your old governor) into the Yoshikawa family and inherited the family name. At this time, Shaosuke Jiro inherited the Maori family's common character "Yuan" and changed his name to Yoshikawa Motoharu , Completed the fusion of the Yoshikawa family to the Mori family.

How could the final ending of Yoshikawa Xingjing die well?After Yoshikawa Motoharu became the new governor, the fate of Xingjing and his son was doomed. In September of the 19th year of Tianwen (1550), Yuan ordered Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kumagai Nobunao, and Amano Takashige on the grounds that Xingjing and his son were "insecure" Surrounding the Fukagawa Pavilion, Yoshikawa Xingjing was worthy of being born in a family of brave generals. He fought hard to fight the incoming enemies. When the blade rolled, he took a bow and shot an arrow. The bowstring was finally broken, and he died together with his son Qian Fashi.The Anyun Yoshikawa family is actually extinct.

In addition, the Kobayakawa family is easier to come by.At that time, Anyun's Kobayakawa was divided into two groups, Takehara Kobayakawa and Numata Kobayakawa.The Takehara family was first acquired by Yuan. The head of this family, Kobayakawa Kokkei who participated in the Battle of Koriyama Castle, died in the 11th year of Tianwen (1541) and left no descendants.At this time, Ouchi Yoshitaka went into battle in person and told the Takehara Kobayakawa family to give up the position of the governor to my Tokujumaru!The Takehara family was terrified, Takakage Mori had no suspense, and entered the Takehara Kobayakawa family as the supervisor.

This time, during the Battle of Gassan Tomita Castle, Numata Kobayakawa's family governor Masahira who fought with the Ouchi Army was killed by the Nizi Army. Headed by Xing, he also clamored to belong to the Maori family.Shigehei Kobayakawa had no choice but to welcome Takakage Mouri in as his adopted son.As soon as Longjing came in, he colluded with Nami Longxing to gradually purge and kill the retainers who were loyal to Fanping.

Finally, in the same year that Yoshikawa Xingkei died, Yuanjiu repeated his old tricks, saying that Shigehei Kobayakawa colluded with Nizi's family, but he still saved the blind man's life, but forced him to live in seclusion and become a monk. With the full support of Yoshitaka Uchi, he married Shigehei's younger sister and took over the Numata Kobayakawa family. Since then, both Takehara and Numata have been unified in Takakage's hands, and the name Kobayakawa Takakage has officially spread in the world.

Of course, Masara would not allow such a potentially powerful enemy to develop smoothly, so when he participated in Ouchi Yoshitaka's Izumo Raiders, Masara had already taken the opportunity to get acquainted with Yoshikawa Kokeke and Kobayakawa Masahira.

When they left halfway, some people were sent to the two of them.And a month ago, when Ouchi Yoshitaka had a premonition that he was going to be defeated, he even sent the latest order to those who secretly followed Yoshikawa Kousuke and Kobayakawa Masahei.There is only one purpose, which is to enable them to survive the pursuit of the Nizi family, and then act as a messenger between Zhengliang and them to help them fight against the Maori family.

The latest news from the battlefield also confirmed the correctness of Zheng Liang's arrangement. Kobayakawa Masahei, who was originally killed by Nizi's family while fleeing, returned to the territory safely this time.In this way, the Mori family's plan to completely seize the Kobayakawa family will be hindered.As for Yoshikawa Xingjing, Zhengliang also wrote a letter to him, which gave him enough warnings. If he was a smart person, he would not be wiped out in the end.

In addition to these two, Zheng Liang also sent people into Anyi to make some arrangements in advance a month ago. The purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to plant the nails in advance.If the Luo family does not match up with the Maori family, these nails will be hidden forever.

Of course, what Zhengliang is most concerned about now is the life and death of the Maori family.In history, Mao Liyuan who ran to Anyun was father and son, and the situation was very dangerous.Because the Nizijun recognized the two father and son, they chased and killed them with great enthusiasm, screaming.In Ishijian Dajiangban, Mao Liyuan and his son were really exhausted. Seeing that they were about to be overtaken by the Nizi army, the father and son almost cried.According to historical development, it was time for Watanabe Toshi and others to make sacrifices to buy time for Yuanjiu and his son to escape.

But now that Toshi Watanabe has defected to Zhengliang, will Mao Liyuan and his son be "trapped" to death by Zhengliang?
