[268] The Second Battle of Sekigahara 2

Sakai Tadashi carefully looked at the simulated formation diagram in front of him, and said with a smile: "During the Battle of Sekigahara that year, there was a Maori force in Nangong Mountain with Maori Xiuyuan as the center, and a total of 30,000 people such as Yoshikawa Hiroka, Ankokuji Huiqiong, Nagashu Masaya and Nagazong I Shengqin were stationed, and that was the heavy wing of the Western Army's crane wing array. But now~" Sakai Tadakatsu pointed to Nangong Mountain, which was covered with the Tokugawa family's aoi flag, and said with a smile: "Now this wing is in our hands!" ”

Abe Tadaaki also smiled: "I heard that the other party's Fujiwara Yoshimasa is a good-faced but talented person, I thought that we could lose to the rebels for a while first, so that Fujiwara Yoshimasa thought that they could defeat the shogunate without the Ming army." At the same time, I will ask the ninjas to further encourage them to demand the withdrawal of the Ming army, and when that time comes~" Abe Tadaaki smiled wickedly

"At that time, these guys~" Masayuki Hoshina grabbed a rice ball and took a big bite, "It's like this rice ball!" ”

"Hahaha~~" Sakai Tadakatsu also grabbed a rice ball and took a big bite

●●●●●●●

The shogunate's strategy worked, and several skirmishes ended with the shogunate's victory. The seventy-year-old Ukita Hideya and the boastful Fujiwara Yoshimasa even killed an enemy soldier with their own hands, which made the Tokugawa shogunate think that the Tokugawa shogunate was a wrecked ship about to sink. In addition, the ninjas sent by the Tokugawa shogunate provoked the relationship between the Ming army, the Korean army and the fallen shogunate army in the shogunate army, and many of the fallen warriors who were "dedicated to the king" felt that the Ming people and Koreans were here to take advantage of the fishermen. In particular, the North Korean army, which is extremely vindictive, will burn and kill everywhere they go. The spies sent by the shogunate took the opportunity to sow discord.

"Without the help of the Ming people, we can still fall the curtain!"

"That is, these overthrows of the shogunate, the great political service is still our own business, and we don't need to fake others~"

"That's right, it's really ugly to see those people nodding their heads to the Ming people!"

"Damn Koreans, get out of Japan!"

Not only that, but Shimazu Hisamitsu, Mao Li Xiu and Matsuura Zhenxin, who originally cooperated with Song Youliang, also began to have their own little Jiujiu, but Zong Yicheng was dedicated to cooperating with Song Youliang.

Song Youliang is not a fool, naturally he also noticed the change in the attitude of these little devils, and finally the first to pierce this layer of window paper was Fujiwara Yoshimasa, after he personally killed a miscellaneous soldier, he had a new understanding of his ability to command joint battles.

On April 10, the ninth day of the confrontation between the two armies at Sekigahara, Fujiwara Yoshimasa, led by Ukita Hideya, led Shimazu Hisamitsu, Matsuura Zhennobu, and Mori Hide, came to Song Youliang's Chinese army tent

Fujiwara Yoshimasa said straight to the point: "Kuniko, because considering the overthrow of the shogunate, returning the emperor to the emperor is the internal affair of our country, that is to say, it is our own Japanese business. If your country continues to intervene, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding among the people of our country and damage the prestige of the emperor, so we kindly ask Your Excellency Kuniko to leave Japan temporarily with your powerful army. ”

Song Youliang touched his chin and asked with a smile: "Is this what you mean, or is it your personal meaning?" ”

Fujiwara Yoshimasa glanced back at everyone, exchanged glances, and replied affirmatively, "It's all of us!" ”

"Okay!" Song Youliang unexpectedly agreed, and Fujiwara Yoshimasa thought he would ask for a large amount of military money before leaving

"All my troops will leave Japan within a month!" Song Youliang said: "But during this period, if you still need my selfless help, I will still lend a hand." ”

"Thank you very much!" Fujiwara Yoshimasa thanked Song Youliang for saluting

Seeing off Fujiwara Yoshimasa and his entourage, Lin Qingye, the commander of the North Korean army, said unwillingly: "Grandpa, let's go on such a trip, can we go back empty-handed?" ”

Song Youliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the current Tokugawa shogunate is not Tokugawa Ieyasu, but it is always a skinny camel bigger than a horse, which of these stupid pigs who are carried away by a small victory are Tokugawa Iemitsu's opponents?" Look, it won't be long before they come to me crying! ”

Lin Qingye said with a smile: "Then, if you want your grandfather to help at that time, it won't be this price!" ”

"Don't worry, North Korea and Daming have always been good friends, and with our Daming, we will naturally not let North Korea interfere!" Song Youliang said

"Then thank my grandfather for the king of my country!" Lin Qingye bowed to Song Youliang

"But before I leave, I'm going to fan the flames one more time!" Song Youliang slapped his palms twice, and a brocade guard wearing a tight-fitting suit appeared in front of Song Youliang, "The flying pigeon sent a message to inform the servants of Edo that the Edo disturbance plan has begun. ”

"Order!"

◇◇◇◇◇◇

From Tokugawa Ieyasu to the third shogun, the shogunate was backed by military pressure to suppress the daimyo and establish the shogunate through war, confiscation, and transfer. This form of political rule is called arbitrary politics. As a result, a large number of retainers of the daimyo who had been deprived of their territories became ronin, which increased social unrest. Coupled with the rise of the Southern Shogunate Army, some people who were dissatisfied with the shogunate began to act quietly

One of them was Yui Masayuki, who was the son of an agricultural and dyeing master of Yubi Suruga, and later went to Edo to found the Kusunoki Military Academy, which was famous for gathering many banners and feudal lords. Quietly acting with him, there is also another son of the eldest son of our department. Born by his concubine Fujieda, he studied gunsmithing in Yamato's Treasure Temple, and was a member of the Chozong Ibu (Maruhashi) Tadami Mori Cheng; There are also former ministers such as the fierce general Yoshida Masaemon Masashige who killed the tigers in the Korean War, Yoshida Sunzaemon Yasutoshi and Toyonaga Fujibei Katsumoto who lived in seclusion in Yamato.

They initially resented the arbitrary politics of the Tokugawa shogunate and did not come up with more explicit political slogans. However, after coming into contact with the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, especially after receiving funding from the Ming Dynasty and hearing the slogan of the Great Politics and Return, Yui Masashi was like an initiation

"yes, why didn't I think of such a good flag and slogan before?" Yui Zhengxue has a little more respect for this Ming Guoan Guogong who has never met or even heard of it before

As a result, Masayuki Yui began to instill this kind of thinking in the cadets in his private military school. "The god of Japan is Amaterasu, and the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu. Japan should be the emperor's, not the shogun's, and even less the unprincipled Tokugawa shogunate. His rhetoric was very popular with the prodigals who were dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate

Finally, after learning that the Shogunate Army and the Shogunate Army had confronted each other in Sekigahara and had won successive victories, Masayuki decided to launch an uprising in Edo.

On April 13, Yui Masayuki received a message from Nishikiei that the Shogunate was fighting hard in Sekigahara, hoping that he would create chaos in Edo and shake the morale of the Shogunate Army.

So, you Jing Zhengxue raised troops in advance

Let's say that at this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu was enjoying Noh music in his shogun's mansion, and today's performance is "Aoi Kami". Because Tokugawa Iemitsu was worried about the war on the front line, he didn't have a good rest for three consecutive days, so his nurse Kasuga Bureau arranged this Noh music, hoping to help Tokugawa Iemitsu relax his nervous nerves

Noh opera "Aoi Kagami" is a regular repertoire. The original author of the play is unknown, but it was adapted by Saiami from an 11th-century book written by the Murasaki clan, The Tale of Genji.

At first, the court official (who is the character of Wakiren) explains that Aoi is the wife of a court nobleman named Genji, who is pregnant with Rokka, and that the witch Eiri is recruited to find out what kind of ghost possession. A folded robe is placed in front of the stage to represent Aoi.

The witch (the character of "Lianfang") summoned the possessed ghost.

Ghosts are coming. The main character wears a mask that represents the goddess of revenge. She is Genji's fallen lover of the sixth daughter. Recounting his own ordeal, the six daughters say that happiness in this world is short-lived, and that it is full of resentment towards the radiant Genji's wife, Aoi. At a recent holiday party, Aoi's car pushes Rokuto's car aside, and Rokume is further humiliated.

The soul of the six girls beats Aoi with a fan, and then walks into the back of the stage. The assistant blocks the audience's view with a robe, and the protagonist takes off the Nemesis mask and puts on a female devil mask.

The court officials called a messenger and asked him to invite the ascetics of the mountains to come and banish the devil.

The exorcism begins, and the protagonist returns to the center of the stage, now wearing a demonic mask and wielding a wand in his hand. They fought fiercely, and the angry souls of the six women were defeated by the spell of the ascetics. The triumph of Buddhism and the salvation of Aoi are very different from "The Tale of Genji"; Inside, Aoi dies while giving birth to Genji's son.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's wife, Takashi Takako, and the side room Ah Zhen, Ah Le and other female relatives watched with relish. Kasuga always cared about Tokugawa Iemitsu's look at first, but later he was gradually attracted by Noh's performance. And Tokugawa Iemitsu seems to be gradually starting to relax

Bang dang

Suddenly, the paper door was rudely slammed open, and the little surname Biranmaru broke in

"Presumptuous~!" Kasuga shouted angrily: "How can you be so formless? ”

Biranmaru didn't have time to apologize, so he said eagerly, "Lord Shogun, it's not good, there is a group of thugs in Edo's town!" ”

"This kind of thing can be handled by a non-director on his behalf!" The spring bureau is getting more and more angry

Biranmaru pounced in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu and said breathlessly: "Someone has reversed~!" ”

"What?" Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up abruptly and knocked over the tea case in front of him

"There are too many, there are too many mobs!" Sakai Tadashi, the representative of the Edo office, wiped his head full of sweat, rushed in angrily, and said loudly: "Lord General, there are too many mobs, but I, Sakai Tadashi, will protect Lord General even if I die~"

"What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked eagerly

"It's the remnants of Toyotomi!" Sakai Tadashi said: "One of the leaders of the mob is named Yui Masayuki, and the other is named Chozong Ibu Sheng Cheng!" ”

"The remnants of Toyotomi?" Tokugawa Iemitsu closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "How many defenders are there in Edo?" ”

Sakai Tadakiyo replied: "Three thousand! ”

"All gathered in the General's Mansion!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "At the same time, we brought the families of the daimyo from all over the country to the shogun's palace, and we held on to the shogun's palace, and then sent people from the officials to transfer the army back. The families of those daimyo are in Edo, and they will definitely come. ”

"All of them?" Sakai Tadakiyo asked

"All!" Tokugawa Iemitsu replied

"Then what if the thieves in the south take the opportunity to kill them?" Tadashi Sakai reminded

"I will send emissaries to negotiate with them and delay as much time as possible!" Tokugawa Iemitsu took the saber from the hand of the boy beside him and handed it to Sakai Tadashi, "Tadashi, protect me!" ”

Sakai Tadakiyoton felt flattered, held the saber in both hands, and raised it above his head, "Ho! ”
