Chapter 63: Honda (Feeling a little down)
"Thank you for taking in my father's righteous act, but it is really difficult for our brother to abandon the homeland of Mikawa, please forgive me!"
The young man in his early twenties bowed lightly to Fan Xiu, and then withdrew half a step. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this young man was only wearing a straw sandwich linen coat and had no long things, but he talked eloquently in front of the tie and had no different colors. On the contrary, it was a long and sturdy young man on his side, looking left and right, quite nervous.
This is Honda Masanobu and his younger brother Masanobu. The latter's fame is not enough to be eye-catching in the history books of later generations, and now it seems that he has no ability, so he can omit it. The former, who may not have any outstanding talents now, but his bearing is already relatively rare.
These words can be regarded as neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, but the retainers behind Fan Xiu all looked at each other angrily, glaring at these two boys who did not "know each other". The eagle craftsman Toshimasa Honda looked at the two children with a helpless face. As a typical Oriental, when you get older, things like faith and ambition slowly fade, but these two children, even conspirators, have their time when they are young and frivolous.
Hiteshu glanced at it with interest. In fact, the earliest reason for coming to Mikawa was for a few retainers who had left this place during the period of the Eternal Succession, and as for investigating things, it was just out of curiosity and desire to control.
"Do you can't bear to leave the homeland of Mikawa, or something else?" Fan Xiu asked.
"And, of course, our master's house."
Honda replied solemnly.
"Okazaki Matsudaira?" Fan Xiu asked knowingly.
"Exactly. My father is too old to stay in the place of right and wrong, but my brother is the age of the glorious lintel, how can he escape? β
The ability to speak calmly and utterly unconscionable is an essential quality of a diplomat β but it is only a basic quality. The high-ranking conspirators never tell lies, but only mislead with special expressions, and the second level is the most important lie mixed with the nine points of truth. And if it's not in tune at all, it's just a joke.
This is the case with Honda Masanobu's words, and not only the retainers on Hinode's side think he is hypocritical, but even his brother can't help but feel that his words are too much.
Even so, Fan Xiu didn't directly expose him, just smiled slightly and continued to ask:
"I don't know how much money Your Excellency has received in the Matsudaira family?"
Honda Masanobu's face twitched, but he still replied stubbornly:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, although it has not been heard of at this moment, but one day it will be ......"
Compared with the pleasure of playing with historical celebrities, the disappointment of Fan Xiu prevails. This is the peerless advisor on which the Edo shogunate depended? Generally speaking, the samurai of this era are under the age of fifteen, and their abilities have been finalized by the time they are in their twenties, but the person in front of them ......
Honshu looked straight at Honda's younger brother, the young man named Masashige.
"Shoju Hall, ......"
"You can just call me Sanyazaemon."
This sturdy young man, as if intimidated by the bearing of the flat hand, has been restless.
"Sanmizuo." Fan Xiu also unceremoniously called his name, "Recently, the Mikawa Matsudaira clan has been on discord with the Pure Land True Sect in the territory, do you know?" β
"This ......"
The boy was suddenly greatly constricted.
"If you know, why don't you tell the master?" Fan Xiu asked gently, "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. β
Honda was still confused, but his brother suddenly became vigilant.
"Our brother is just a marginal figure in the Yizong Sect, if you want to ask something, I'm afraid it's impossible."
Fan Xiu smiled.
"Do you need to ask? The monks of the Ichizawa sect of Mikawa have long been unable to control the situation, and this can be known by walking around the places. β
Honda Masanobu's face suddenly turned pale.
"There were voices against Matsudaira everywhere, but not under the leadership of the Ichimune...... Don't you suspect something? β
"Who the hell are you......" The brothers both looked at Fan Xiu suspiciously.
"It doesn't matter." Fan Xiu shook his head and didn't reply directly, "In my opinion, this is only a half-completed strategy, and the opposition forces of Mikawa want to use the Ichizong to mobilize, but they are not in line with each other, and their abilities are limited, and the scope and degree are far from enough." Although many peasants are now incited and dissatisfied with the Matsudaira family, if they want to rise up in rebellion, not everyone will echo it! β
The essence of this statement is that it seems to be magnificent, but it does not give a clear conclusion, and it is even more difficult to find the point of refutation.
"Who are you?"
"You shouldn't have heard of this name, Owari Hite-hide."
"That's it...... Osamu Imagawa Daisuke ......"
"Yes."
Honda Masanobu was calm, while his father collapsed to the ground almost immediately. Zhengzhong's reaction was to immediately grasp the hilt of the sword, but before that, he was already watched by several guards.
"I actually regard the allies of the Matsudaira family as enemies...... It seems that you have indeed become aware of the rebellion. Fanxiu's gaze shifted to Zhengxin, "Have you figured it out now?" Which ones are behind it? β
Zhengxin thought for a while, and then it became clear.
"Sakurai, Okusa, Arakawa, and Kira have been defeated in a row, but I'm afraid they won't be convinced, if these four forces merge......"
It seems that this person may not be lacking in wisdom, but in lack of experience.
"Do you still have to be obsessed with knowing that you are just being used as a tool?"
After Fan Xiu reported his name, the analysis that was originally only six or seven points credible suddenly became nine points reliable in the hearts of the audience. In this era of underdeveloped information, the name of a wise general is enough to deter most people.
"But......" retorted Honda Masanobu, "isn't it more likely that it will succeed with more forces joining?" β
"I think it's going to be defeated."
"Why? Obviously ......"
"Do you want to talk about the country of owners like Ishiyama and Kaga?" Honsu interrupted him.
"This ...... Isn't it possible for Mikawa to ......?"
"There is no one respectable owner in Trois-RiviΓ¨res who can lead all the disciples. Therefore, the gathered forces will soon disperse. For example, what if the Matsudaira clan met their demands and offered to change their faith? β
"Believers will never ...... for a little"
"Not yet, but what if the battle is unfavorable?"
"The disciples can gather tens of thousands of troops, how can they not be defeated?"
"Last year, Echigo Nagao summoned 100,000 Kanto nobles to invade Odawara, but returned in vain. You should know! The peasants will get involved because they are hot-headed, but how long will they not get to the fields? Six months? A year? The number of warriors in the city was far smaller than that of the disciples, but the stock was much larger. β
β¦β¦
"I haven't counted Oda's reinforcements yet! And you don't seem to have any support for you. β
β¦β¦
"What's more, even if it is defeated? Will the lords who drove the Matsudaira family out really believe in the Ichijo sect? β
β¦β¦
Honda Masanobu was speechless. After a long time, he slowly asked:
"What His Highness said in Hisate...... But it's not in your favor. β
Fan Xiu smiled and said nothing, if he could use this to take some people and forces into his hands, wouldn't it be beneficial?
The Oda family has a bad relationship with the Ichijo sect, and it will be ten years later, ten years later...... Enough is enough for too many things to happen.
PS: This paragraph exaggerates history to a certain extent.
PS again: Collecting a large number of sect believers, it is bound to have differences with the demon king in the future, but as mentioned above, ten years is enough for too many things to happen.
