Chapter 427: The Destruction of the Sun (2)
- Guan Bai Mansion
Fujiwara faithfully walked into the room, sat down, looked at the garden opposite, opened the fan and said, "Ah, yes, isn't this a master gardener, I know it's you, I still don't believe it." ”
Yuan Li gave a salute first, and then said, "I have seen Lord Guan Bai, since the poor monk closed the door and fought together, he has devoted himself to the account of Lord Song Pingyin. ”
Fujiwara faithfully squinted his eyes and said, "So, you came instead of Lord Pingyin?" How? Any advice? ”
Yuan Li smiled and said, "Not for anything else, just to save Lord Guan Bai." ”
Fujiwara took a breath, rolled his eyes, put away his fan, and asked, "Help me?" I am a white man, why do I need someone to save me? ”
Yuan Li said hehehe, "My lord, this Guan Bai, where can it be compared with the Fujiwara Liangfang and Fujiwara Kitsura in the past?" In the past, Guan Bai could even abolish His Majesty, can today's adults do it? I'm afraid that not only can't, but even the abolition of Guan Bai's position requires His Majesty the Emperor to speak. ”
Fujiwara faithfully narrowed his eyes, what Yuan Li said was not wrong at all, since the beginning of the court administration, the power of his Fujiwara family has been weakening day by day, although there is nothing today, but as long as it continues like this, no one can say where his Fujiwara family will go in the future.
Yuan Li continued, "Lord Guan Bai, the current Emperor is too old, the old one is a little confused, my family Pingyin Marquis just wants to come to the Kingdom of Wa to make money, and the money earned is not Guan Bai or the Emperor, where do you take less?"
First, now, the emperor seized the caravan and attacked the Song people on the grounds that the new Song Dynasty had illegal words, and the Hou Ye even heard that the French Emperor still wanted to take back the concession, which really worried the Hou Ye. ”
Fujiwara did not speak, saying that he would let Sonori continue.
Yuan Li said with a compassionate expression, "My Buddha is merciful, if the Emperor is really like this, I'm afraid that a big war is inevitable, does Lord Guan Bai want to see the scene of countless lives being destroyed?" ”
Fujiwara faithfully shook his head and said, "This matter is decided by His Majesty the Emperor alone, and I have no choice. ”
Yuan Li smiled and said, "If that's the case, Lord Pingyin Marquis is not a person who is afraid of war, but.... But if there is really a war, His Majesty the Emperor will lose, and that's it, if His Majesty the Emperor wins, I don't know how His Royal Highness Guan Bai will deal with himself? ”
The voice of the garden is getting higher and higher, and it is getting faster and faster, "On that day, His Majesty the Emperor will have the samurai of the north as his minions, overseas trade as the treasury, and the manors of the world as his wings, and he will hold the righteousness in his hands, and he will hold the title of Heavenly Constitution, and if he looks at the domain, only Lord Bai will hinder him, what will His Majesty the Emperor do?" What about His Highness Guan Bai? Your Highness said, "Am I here to save you?" ”
Fujiwara Faithful just imagined that scene for a moment, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"I.... My Fujiwara family has been closed for generations, how dare he touch me? ”
Yuan Li snorted, "What if His Majesty the Emperor is ready to let a person be the adopted son of His Highness, and let you pass on to him?" ”
Saying that, Yuan Li said in a low voice, "The matter of Lord Zhongmiya, I think His Royal Highness Guan Bai has also heard about it, His Majesty Toba must not be able to accept such a child as the next emperor, if His Majesty the Emperor considers his feelings and lets this child be Guan Bai, I am afraid it will be the result that both His Majesty want to see." ”
"What?" Fujiwara's eyes widened, and his mouth was almost closed, because such a thing was too likely to happen.
Not to mention anything else, in the past, the first Fujiwara North family was Seki White Fujiwara Liangfang, and his heir was his adopted son Fujiwara Kikyo, and he gave the prince to a minister as an adopted son, and he had no reason to refuse in legal theory.
What's more, the Fujiwara family has intermarried with the royal family for generations, so such a thing is even more likely.
Fujiwara Tadashi took a few deep breaths, and then said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Sonori smiled, "Actually, the one who wants the Emperor to disappear the most is none other than His Majesty Toba!" ”
"Your Majesty Toba?" Fujiwara's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched as Sonori took out his coat and belt.
"Your Highness, look, this is the evidence!"
Fujiwara looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "But it's His Majesty's handwriting." ”
At this point, the gardener dropped his nirvana.
"Your Majesty said that as long as your majesty can help Your Highness get rid of the Emperor, then Lord Fujiwara Tokuko will be the future empress, and the mother of the next Emperor will only be Lord Fujiwara Tokuko."
Fujiwara Faithful can be completely moved now, why Baihe and even the previous last three will treat the Fujiwara family so toughly, isn't it because these people have no blood relationship with the Fujiwara family, the reason why the Fujiwara family has always been able to hold the real power of the DPRK and China as Guan Bai is actually because of the relationship between relatives, if the next emperor of Toba is really a child of the Fujiwara family, then he can be blind to death.
"Your Majesty Toba is so trusted, I am a courtier, how dare I care about my life!" Fujiwara said as he hammered the table, then looked at Sonori and asked, "So what do you get?" ”
Yuan Li smiled and said, "The free spread of New Song Studies in the Wa Kingdom is nothing more. ”
Fujiwara was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "What you want is the future...."
- The Wa Palace
"Bell!" A sound made Bai He sit up from the bed suddenly, and he pulled out the knife placed at the head of the bed, looking around in horror.
"Your Majesty . . . What's going on? The sleeping woman asked in horror.
Bai He ignored her, walked down on his own, looked around, and finally picked up a paper ball wrapped in stones, he opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he shouted outside, "Someone! ”
A group of guards hurriedly ran in, and Shirakawa asked, "Who was just outside?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand, and Bai He waved their hands to let them stand back, and sat down and thought about it.
- Half a month later
"Master Hou, there's news, it's all good news." Xu Guanzhong walked quickly into a courtyard and said, in the courtyard, Jiang De was practicing archery with Yuzao and Huadiao.
"Medium!" Jiang De shouted, a feather arrow hit, then turned around and handed the bow and arrow to the guard next to him, and said to Xu Guanzhong, "Mr. Xu is good news when he comes, come, let's talk about it, by the way, what about Lord Jin?" ”
"Lord Jin has gone to the port to pick him up, and I have already sent someone to look for him, because the situation is urgent, I will report to the Hou Ye first."
"Come, let's talk about it."
"It's news from Heiankyo, under the guidance of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others, Shirakawa and Toba quickly confronted each other, two days ago, Shirakawa suddenly attacked Toba at the court meeting, asking him if he had done anything that discorded with his identity, and scared Toba half to death, but Toba still persevered, because Shirakawa had no evidence, so he could only let him leave first.
After Toba left, he immediately escaped from the palace with the help of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and when Shirakawa learned the news, he immediately summoned the northern samurai such as the Heike and Genya, while on the other hand, Toba fled to Sekihaku Fujiwara's house, and that night, the two sides clashed.
At first, it was the Hei family's Taira Masamori who led the army to attack the Sekibai Mansion at night, but the Gen family suddenly rebelled, attacked the flank of the Hei family, and raised the banner of Toba, followed by a big melee, this night, the two sides invested four or five thousand soldiers and horses, killed and wounded hundreds of people, and did not know the winner.
Beginning early yesterday morning, the two sides began to divide the war with the Wawang Palace and Guanbai Mansion as the core positions, and continued to mobilize troops and horses from other places. The war was not over when the letter was sent, the letter was sent yesterday, and it is expected that by now, the two sides should not have decided the winner, after all, the forces on both sides are about the same, and it is a street fight.
Master Hou, it's time for us to go! Xu Guanzhong quickly said the matter.
Jiang De put his hands behind his back, walked a few laps, and then said, "Shirakawa has mastered the samurai in the north, the current Genjia is not comparable to the Hei family at all, Shirakawa has an absolute advantage, we must not let Shirakawa kill Toba, send an order to the garrison of Guanmen, immediately occupy the two countries of Nagato and Chikuzen, and then go to sea to occupy the two countries of Tsushima and Iki, these four countries are the back road of our army, and we must not lose."
Then he sent an order to Wu Yong and Lu Junyi on Jeju Island, and immediately sent troops after receiving the news, and pushed all the way along the Seto Inland Sea, occupying ten countries including Fengzen, Zhoufang, Anyun, and Iyo.
Remember, we have to claim that we came at the request of King Toba, and suppressing these places is also to ensure King Toba's rule over these places, but after occupying them, we must immediately liquidate the local estates, distribute the land to the local people, and then catch some nobles who have evil deeds and kill them, and gather civilians as guards.
Finally, there is the army here, how many soldiers and horses have arrived now? ”
Xu Guanzhong replied, "The Second Field Division has all arrived, and there are also three regiments of the Guards Division, Li Zhong, Huadiao, and Wu Song, Lei Jiong's Regiment of the Ballista Division, Dong Ping's Regiment and Luan Tingyu Regiment of the Cavalry, plus the Escort Army that was originally being formed by the Wa Kingdom, also has three regiments of 6,000 people, a total of 28,000 people, these people we took a month to transport in, and the two adults of Huang and Wu have made great contributions." ”
Jiang De nodded and said, "Huang Da and Wu Di are the first contributors this time, leaving two thousand guards and the Flower Carving Regiment here, Han Tao is the main vanguard, Sakabe Pingtai and Peng Xi are the deputy vanguard, Dong Ping is the left wing, Luan Tingyu is the right wing, Jiang Xintai is the grain and grass official, advance along the main road, and go straight to Heianjing... By the way, we're going to have to take this Settsu first..."
Jiang De was thinking about who would let the lease world take the entire territory of Setjin, Xu Guanzhong said, "Settsu Shou has suffered our loss, I want to let a guard legion go." ”
Jiang De nodded and said, "Then send the other two escort legions." ”
Out of some bad taste, Jiang De named the three Japanese generals of the Escort Army in addition to Sakabe Heita, Sanada Yukimura and Mori Katsunaga respectively, these two tragic generals in history have always been admired by Jiang De, hoping to make these two names shine in this era in this way.
After all, these two people should never appear again, or rather, if they do, they won't be this name.
Sanada Yukimura is also a wild samurai, proficient in riding and archery, more than one meter six tall, he is already a big man in the Wa Kingdom, he is wearing mountain armor, riding a war horse surrounded by two thousand Wa soldiers rushed out of the concession directly, the Wa State sergeant who was guarding outside saw him hurriedly waving his weapon and said, "What do you want to do?" This is no longer a concession! ”
Sanada Yukimura touched his beard and shouted, "I'm Sanada Yukimura!" At the request of His Majesty Toba, Lord Pingyin is the king of Shangluoqin, how dare you stop it? Could it be that they are all chaotic parties? ”
"Your Majesty Toba?"
"How is this possible?"
The Japanese sergeant guarding at the gate of the concession suddenly lost his inch, Sanada Yukimura snorted, urged him to step forward and shouted, "Get out of the way of me, whoever stands in the way will be killed!" ”
After that, he reined in his war horse and rushed straight forward, several Japanese soldiers still wanted to stop him, but he was repelled by a shot, and the two thousand armor soldiers behind him shouted in unison and rushed out together, and the Japanese soldiers standing in the distance had a few arrows to block, and just shot out the arrow feathers, dozens of arrow feathers shot back, and the result was less than half a pillar of incense, and the three hundred Japanese soldiers at the boundary gate announced that the whole army was destroyed.
Then, after Sanada Yukimura, Mori Nagakatsu also rushed out, and the two soldiers divided into three routes, one led by Sanada Yukimura to Settsu Morifu, one led by Mori Nagatsu to the standing military camp, and one led by the first battalion commander to the warehouse.
Because it was a sudden attack, the road was full of pedestrians, and the gate of the Setzu Morifu was even more open, and it was directly attacked by Sanada Yukimura, and Settsu Nagakiyo, who was in the imperial room, looked out of the courtyard in horror and said, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the Song people suddenly attack? ”
"My lord, I heard that His Majesty Toba invited them to King Luoqin!" Since Sanada Yukimura and others have been promoting all the way, many people know the reason.
"Kamiluo...."Settsu Nagakiyo stammered a little, not knowing how to answer.
"Lord, the tenants are about to attack, what should we do, please hurry up and make a decision."
A samurai strode forward and shouted, "If the Lord wishes to fight, we will fight to the death!" ”
"Fight to the death?" Settsu Nagakiyo hurriedly shook his head and said, "Since it was invited by His Majesty Toba, I don't think there is any need for us to fight to the death, let the two sides stop, I want to talk to Lord Shoujin of the concession." ”
The army and officials of the Concession were called Shou or Zhong according to the custom of the Wa State, so the escort army was called the Tenant Shouzhong, and the Prime Minister of the Concession was called the Concession Shou.
Sanada Yukimura heard Settsu Nagakiyo's request, thought for a while, and said to the sergeant next to him, "This battle is the first battle that His Majesty Toba invited our army to Shangluo, if there is a delay and a major event, who can take it, rush in for me!" ”
A group of samurai who took a small shield in one hand and a katana in the other rushed up, and Settsu Nagakiyo, who was sitting in the imperial room waiting for the news, waited for the news that the gate had been breached, and immediately said urgently, "It's over, it's over, it seems that they are fake on King Luoqin, and it is true that they have captured our Wa Kingdom." ”
I have to say that Settsu Changqing still has some brains.
"My lord, please make a decision!" A group of retainers said around Settsu Nagakiyo.
Settsu Nagakiyo stood up and thought for a while, and said, "We are originally the courtiers of His Majesty Toba, and now the tenants are to be the king of Qin, so we should help each other, and immediately send the order out, saying that we are willing to submit to His Majesty Toba, and ask the tenants to take me to meet Lord Jin!" ”
"My lord... Didn't you just say? "A retainer was stunned by Settsu Nagakiyo's operation.
"What did I say?" Settsu Nagakiyo glared at him and said, "In any case, the most important thing should be the continuation of our Settsu family, isn't it?" Do you want me to lose my life for those fools in Heiankyo? Fast! Just go!! ”
"Hi !!"
Now that the head of the family has decided to surrender, the others have no opinion, and the Settsu suppression battle ended in less than two hours.
In the afternoon, a column of armor soldiers began to set off from the concession, led by two thousand Japanese troops, all of them were dressed in armor, or holding spears, or bows and arrows, or knives and axes, each with their heads held high, and behind them, Han Tao and Peng Xi's regiment, which were obviously taller and taller, were also wearing battle armor, but in comparison, this army was obviously much quieter.
The people and merchants of the Japanese Kingdom standing on both sides looked at such an army, and they couldn't help but talk about it, and many people began to make calculations in their hearts.
At any time, war is the best opportunity for class reshuffling.
At this moment, the Pingyin Army officially entered the battlefield of the Wa Kingdom!
