Chapter 1114: Xu Zhengzhi, a Loyal and Righteous Man
"It's a Mito Hikari country, and he actually turned into a prince, I'm afraid that after a while, he will become the king of Japan, right? When he did this, he was not only a rebellious minister and thief in Japan, but also a rebel of the Tokugawa shogunate! ”
It was the shogunate elder Hoshina Masayuki who spoke!
He had now crossed the Kanmon Strait with a large army and entered Okura Castle, the main city of the Bunzen Ogura Domain, which had been captured by the Shimazu army.
After the Tokugawa family sacrificed the killer feature of the "college entrance examination", the Toyotomi army that fell seemed to have been hit by seven inches, and suddenly lost its strength, from the original triumphant song to a thousand miles of collapse. On the Kyushu side, they lost the Battle of Nishisaka Castle and the Battle of Funai Castle, and on the Honshu side, they were first defeated at the Battle of Katsuyama, and later at the foot of Ogijo Castle, the old nest of the Mori family. The Maori-Asano coalition had no choice but to retreat into Ogijo and defend it.
After leaving part of his army to surround Ogijo, Masayuki Hoshina crossed the sea into the northern part of Kyushu Island, where he joined the two siblings Masayo Hoshina and Tokugawa Takashi in Kokura.
At this point in the battle, everyone knows that the Toyotomi army has pounced again, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated!
And it will be difficult to get up again in the future...... Because the surplus samurai in Japan now have a way out, they can take the exam to become officials, they can also go abroad to become mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty, and they also have the opportunity to get a piece of land in Nanyang to become a lord.
Therefore, the samurai's interest in the fall of the curtain has been greatly reduced, otherwise the Toyotomi army would not be defeated - if there are still hundreds of thousands of ronins ready to join the gang at any time, the Toyotomi army can definitely withstand several heavy defeats.
But now it's not going to work, no one is willing to follow the Toyotomi family to the downfall, and the ronin who originally joined the Toyotomi regime such as Shimazu, Maori, and Asano are also slipping away one after another - the ronin also has to choose the master! With these unlucky Toyotomi elders, there is no future, and they can't get a few military salaries, if there is no other way out, they will fight, but the Tokugawa family opened the college entrance examination......
But at the threshold when the Tokugawa shogunate was about to win the final victory, a series of unexpected news came from Kyoto to Masayuki Hoshina.
Tokugawa Mitsukuni, who served the Tokugawa family platform and went to Luo, didn't know when he actually colluded with the Ming Shoin Temple, who had abdicated and lived in seclusion for many years, and directed a good show of politics in bed.
Not only did he force back Emperor Gosai and restore the Ming Shoin as the king, but he also abolished the godhead of the Emperor through the mouth of the Ming Shoin Temple, recognized Xu Fu, the ancestor, and then came a marriage between a queen and a minister, making Tokugawa Mitsukuni a prince!
This can be done...... It's so beautiful, too!
In this way, the Tokugawa family usurped the throne in a dignified manner, and as the head of the Mito family, who did not have the right to inherit the shogun, Tokugawa Mitsukuni also usurped the power of the Tokugawa family by marrying the queen to bypass the righteous name of the shogun's family.
Although Tokugawa Ietsuna was still a shogun, Tokugawa Mitsukuni soon became the king of Japan...... The king is bigger than the general!
Who will take stupid Gongfang seriously in the future? Isn't his general a vain?
When Masayuki Baoke heard the news, how could he not be popular?
Who fought to the death on the front line and the Toyotomi family? Isn't it the three of Masayuki Hoshina, Masayi Hokusa, and Tokugawa Takataka (Hoko Taka)?
Why did Tokugawa Mitsukuni pick up the ready-made ones and swallow the imperial court and the shogunate together?
After everyone is a god, everyone has no general inheritance...... Why is he the king, and Bao Ke Zhengzhi can only be a minister?
The only people who listened to him in Honmaru in Ogura Castle are now Masayo Hoshina and Takashi Tokugawa. The brother and sister knelt in the middle of the room, holding their knees and listening quietly.
"Mito Mitsukuni is simply a thief of the country, and he can't be spared! After pacifying the two rebellions of Shimazu and Maori, he will raise troops to go to Luo and go to share the rivalry with the thieves who steal the country! ”
Baoke nodded stiffly: "Father, although Mito's appearance is a little ugly, it is acceptable for all parties......"
"Acceptable?" Bao Ke Zhengzhi's eyelids jumped, "What about His Royal Highness?" ”
"Isn't the public side stupid......"
When a ruler can be cruel, he can be greedy, he can be lustful, but he can't be stupid!
Any words that rule by vertical arches are all deceived by the ignorant people - a ruler who is so stupid that he cannot exercise power is not ruling by hanging an arch at all, but by someone else, and the stupid ruler himself has become a puppet.
This situation often means great risk...... If the minister in power has any intention of usurping the country and seeking the dynasty, won't the world be in chaos?
Therefore, replacing the stupidest family of the Tokugawa family with the smartest Kokuni is a good thing for the shogunate, for the Kingdom of Japan, and for the samurai of Japan.
"But Mito Mitsukuni is not a descendant of the Lord of Taitokuin!" Hokuzai shook his head repeatedly.
The Taitokuin Master is Tokugawa Hidetada, the biological father of Masayuki Hoshina!
Mito Mitsukuni is the son of Tokugawa Yoribo, not Tokugawa Iemitsu - if he had, he would have been a shogun a long time ago!
Of course, if Masayuki Baoke is Xiuzhong's son-in-law, he will definitely be a general!
"Father!" Tokugawa Taka, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth at this time, "Mito Mitokoku's marriage to the queen has been completed...... Not only will both the public and military sides be satisfied, but the Celestial Empire will also accept this result. Why should we object? ”
Her daughter's words immediately calmed down Masayuki Baoshi.
Without the support of Zheng Jiangong and Zheng Hongkui, how dare Mito Guangguo do this?
"Is it just going to be like this to watch Mito Mitokoku take all the benefits?" Bao Ke is in a hurry, and he told the truth......
"How is that possible?" Tokugawa Takashi said, "My daughter is the one who is the one who will be chosen by the great tomorrow...... How could the Son of Heaven be unkind to his father? ”
"What does the Son of Heaven mean......" Masayuki Hoshina asked in a low voice.
"Kyushu needs a loyal man to take charge!" Tokugawa Takashi said, "Father, who do you say is the most loyal in all of Japan right now?" ”
"Let me think about it...... Looks like it's me! ”
"Yes, it's the Father!" Hoshina said solemnly, "My father is the most loyal man in Japan...... Therefore, the person who guards Kyushu can only be the father! ”
"I wonder what name I can use to guard Kyushu?" Bao Ke asked.
The two siblings, Hoshina Masashi and Tokugawa Takashi, glanced at each other, and Masashi Baoshina had already found a copy of the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty and handed it to his father with both hands.
"Father, this is ......what Zheng Jiangong gave to his son when he passed through Nagasaki," Bao Ke said solemnly, "He asked the child to settle down in Kyoto, and then hand over this decree to your old man." ”
"Really?" Masayuki Hoshina took a breath, looked at his two children, and said in a low voice, "It's not just Mito Daiyana who is smart!" ”
Of course...... If he didn't do a good job of behind-the-scenes dealing, would Tokugawa Mitsukuni dare to do that?
Baoke Masayuki took the holy decree, opened it and read it carefully word by word, and after reading it, he was silent for a while before he said: "The Son of Heaven gave me the surname Xu, and I was named the Duke of the Kingdom of Japan and ruled Kyushu." ”
Emperor Zhu, of course, would not have allowed Japan to truly unify...... Japan was too big, and it had a large population, and there were a lot of samurai, and it hung over the sea. If it is really unified, sooner or later it will be a problem.
Therefore, while supporting Tokugawa Mitsukoku's usurpation, Zhu Cihong supported the father and son of Baoke, who were close to him, and made them the king of Kyushu.
Kyushu is not a big piece of land, but it is not too small for Japan. It is impossible for Guangguo to give up, and there is no way to conquer - Da Ming stands behind Kyushu, and he, a smart man, knows what to do!
"Father, Xu is a Japanese surname, and it is also the surname of my ancestors!" Bao Ke said seriously, "And half of Kyushu is already in hand, if I have the title given by the great tomorrow, my family can become the real king of Kyushu!" ”
"But the court ...... What about the imperial court in Japan? Masayuki Hoshina shook his head, "Kyushu is the land of Japan after all!" ”
"Of course the court will agree!" Tokugawa laughed and said, "Mito didn't want to be an enemy of his father, and he also needed a loyal man to guard Kyushu!" ”
Masayuki Hoshina sighed: "It's still cheaper, Mito Daiyanayan...... This guy is not only smart, but also lucky! ”
