Chapter 22: Tottori and Hiroshima (continued)

Inaba and Tajima were once one of the "three pipes and four positions", and the territory of the famous family of Muromachi Mt. This family has a very long history, and at its peak, six males served as guardians of 11 countries, occupying one-sixth of the 66 countries of Fuso, and was respectfully called the "one-sixth hall".

However, with the development of time, like most other famous families, they did not complete the transformation from guardian daimyo to Warring States daimyo, but faded out of the historical stage along with the old authority.

The people of this land have been strongly influenced by Niko, Miyoshi, and Maori, and none of them have gained a firm foothold for a long time. As a result, the local tyrants and landlords were able to face each other and accumulate strength in a flexible way, and fully enjoy the taste of independence as the emperor of the soil.

Then, both a foreigner and a person who insisted on promoting centralization, came the Evenshou Bunxiu, who was regarded by everyone as a big thief who was not welcome to be popular.

However, this does not imply loyalty to the Maori family.

Tottori's commander, Yoshikawa Nori's Mori family, was a cautious and knowledgeable man, resolutely refusing to allow the rabble of people who had doubts about their combat strength and attitude to enter the city to save their lives.

Of course, this is understandable from a military point of view, but it is a big loss of points in terms of public opinion.

Originally, everyone was just reluctant to hug the group to keep warm because of the strong enemy, and I just wanted the Maori family to propose a subjugation, but it wasn't for you to put up a shelf and dictate it!

Yamanaka Yukimori, a local man who was familiar with the situation in the vicinity, may have been keenly aware of this subtle state of mind, and launched a strategic operation in the name of the Niko family.

It's a pretty useful name.

Many Chinese people and wealthy families have a peculiar mentality that is indescribable, and they will feel embarrassed, and it is embarrassing, humiliating, and unwilling to accept things that rashly bow to the "new master".

Even though the tie has become a momentum for people all over the world, it still seems to be an unfamiliar name in the western region, but there are still a considerable number of people who disagree with it and still follow the traditional concept of doing their own thing. It wasn't until he was tempted by major interests, or was hit by the army, that he was willing to give in and admit defeat.

And the Nizi family is different.

People have been "Yin and Yang Taishou" for several generations, and the relationship has been more than 50 years.

Then the people of the country can say: "Among my great-grandparents, grandparents, and fathers, some people once served the Xingguo Yuan Hall (Nizi Jingjiu) and the Moonlight Yuan Hall (Nizi Qingjiu), and now as a descendant, he has become a retainer of the Nizi family again, which is a matter of course." ”

With the steps to go down, there is no psychological burden.

This kind of cultural phenomenon similar to "protégé and former official" seems to the enlightened and transparent people to be simply frivolous and self-deceptive. However, since it exists, it has its rationality, and it is worth taking advantage of it.

Tottori Castle is built on a hill and is roughly divided into three floors, with a total of about a dozen curved wheels. The Yoshikawa Nobuye of the Mori family only had about 1,000 direct troops, and it was a little insufficient to guard the line from Otemon to Honmaru, and the rest of the country was all guarded by the Kunjin Alliance.

Yamanaka Yumori was in good spirits and took the initiative to try to make contact.

It is said that there were five times before and after.

For the first time, he prepared for several days, convincing a monk of some repute to sneak into the city under the cover of darkness and pass a small piece of paper.

The second time, the people in the city sent a clever and capable samurai to go out of the city with a sling to pay a return visit.

The third time, Yamanaka Yukimori took a risk, disguised himself as a rough man who worked as a handyman, and entered the city alone in the response of his "friends", which greatly showed his sincerity.

On the fourth occasion, it was the turn of the people in the city, and they also selected two people who could speak, concealed from the henchmen of the guards, and quietly went to the Nizi Revival Army tent to give a speech, and the courtesies were exchanged.

The fifth time was an evening identity, and Yamanaka Yukimori slipped to the side door with a few bold retinues, matched the identity, and then swaggered in.

At this point, Fang reported to the flat hand and said that most of the local tyrants and landlords in the city had the intention of surrendering and defecting, and they did not dare to mention any more independent permissions, and were willing to accept the constraints of various laws, and only wanted to be satisfied with a piece of real estate sufficient for the survival of the family in the hometown of Inaba and Tajima.

This is a discount on the original request.

After listening to the request of the Chinese people, the original tie was not willing to agree. In his opinion, Tottori Castle was under siege, and it would take three to five months at most, so there was no need to make additional compromises to the Ground Snakes.

Now that the world is about to be calm, we can't just leave the impression of magnanimity, and the necessary harsh measures are indispensable!

Clearly stating that it was "for the sake of Izumo no Shika's face", Hirate Hirate reluctantly accepted, promising that if the people of the country took the initiative to abandon the darkness and put things in order, and offered the Maori family's guards, they would meet their request.

As a result, the word was transmitted back and no response was received for two days.

Tie Tsunohide's patience is about to run out, and he intends to order the official onslaught.

Yamanaka Yumori was very anxious, and did not hesitate to come to the city alone again without making an appointment in advance, but happened to see a mess inside the wall, chickens and dogs, fireworks everywhere, and the sound of killing was endless, and it seemed to be in a melee.

Apparently it is no longer possible to get in touch.

Then the defense was no longer noticed, and Hirate Honhide learned of the situation and immediately asked the soldiers to attack.

After receiving the order, Bai Xiang Jiajia asked suspiciously: "There seems to be a scuffle in the city, who should we help?" How do you know if you're friend or foe? ”

Tieshou Fan Xiu smiled and said: "We will naturally know when we go in." ”

Sure enough, the soldiers blew up the gates of the city, rushed in, and were immediately attacked by one of the melee sides, while the other side showed the mood to see friendly troops.

After half a day of fierce street fighting, the "reactionaries" were finally eliminated, and the narrow roads within the city walls were filled with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

Only Honmaru was still guarding the door, but it was covered in a raging flame.

The enemy general seems to see that the general trend has gone and self-immolation!

Afterwards, the survivors were questioned, and they found out what had happened.

It turned out that the Yoshikawa family of the Maori family was not a dull person, and the wealthy people of the country were enemies inside and outside, although he did not catch the real evidence, he had already noticed the clues.

Even if the day the promise was made, the Yoshikawa family sent a message to the various families, claiming that they already knew about the internal instability, but did not intend to pursue responsibility, but sincerely sent a letter: "You and my Maori family, who originally did not have a deep enough friendship with the monarch and ministers, have been able to accompany the contemptible people to hold on to this day, and have not retreated in the face of the tens of thousands of troops in the face of the tie, and have fulfilled additional obligations. Originally, the enemy was outnumbered, the food and straw were limited, and the battle situation was not optimistic. If you use my head now, you can exchange the lives and future prospects of your family, don't have any worries, just come and take it! ”

Afterwards, people did not know whether this was a true expression of their feelings or a pretense of routine, but they only knew that some of the Chinese people who had already made up their minds to defect had dispelled their thoughts with tears after seeing the letter, and regained their fighting spirit of "dying with the city".

As a result, it is inevitable to have conflicts with others who insist on "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light".

And it's a life-and-death, irreconcilable conflict!

Fierce infighting ensued.

Seeing this, Yoshikawa Nobuya knew that there was no hope for defending the castle, so he asked the soldiers to "self-determine" and set fire to Honmaru alone......

After hearing this, Izumo no Shika Yamanaka Yukimori was quite shocked, and said angrily, "The shogun is really a model among the samurai, and a peerless national warrior who abides by righteousness!" If it weren't for the enemy, I should marry him as a golden orchid, drink and get drunk together! ”

Hirate Honhide also had a lot of feelings, and secretly instructed that this battle could be made into a dramatic story, focusing on the images of the two idol factions of Yamanaka Yukimori and Yoshikawa Nobuya, and the name was "Tottori Niyoshi" and the like.

As for the supporting roles, the piggybacking shows that the tie is the pattern of the world's desire to calm the troubled times, and the stubborn resistance of Maori Terugen that causes the lives to be ruined, it is all unspoken, where do you need to be told?

Then, most of the land promised to be returned to the wealthy families of Tajima and Inaba did not have to be returned, because many of the creditors died in the battle, and many of the remaining were deeply affected and preferred to leave for a new life.

It's really gratifying.

The war calmed down, and the Boqi guardian Dainanjo Motosu, who was transferred by the Nizi Revival Army, finally had the opportunity to officially meet the draw.

He tried his best to be resolute and steady, but he showed his lack of wisdom to the fullest. These days in the mountains of Xingsheng people are very active, even more of a counterpoint.

However, the timing of this person's defection was very exquisite, and the family had a certain inheritance value, and he was still rewarded by Boqi and the country. Anyway, all of them are poor mountains and bad waters, looking at the territory is not small, the annual output is probably less than 100,000 stones, and the business is almost none.

Hite-suohide rode all the way to victory, crossed Tottori Castle, and came to Haro Stone Castle for a short rest.

I just heard the news of the Hiroshima front.

Nakamura sent his younger brother to report that after three offensive and defensive battles, both sides were killed and wounded, but the tie side still held the position with the advantage of arranging fortifications in advance.

Mori Terumoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu have withdrawn and should not be able to attack again in the short term.

In other words, we can continue the very promising project of "building the castle of Hiroshima".

It's a double happiness.

The only flaw is that the right flank was once broken through, and Miyoshi Yasucho, who was in charge of the garrison, was hit by two arrows in his body, but he missed the vital point, and his life was saved, but his son-in-law and grandson were all unfortunately killed in battle.

A dying old man, who has lost his grandchildren, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is indeed a pity.

But what's more important is that the originally thriving big family, now in the near branch, it seems that even a young man with the surname Sanhao can't be found.

So Shihe Depository hopes that the already scattered Sanhao, Anzhai, and Shihe will be reunited into one family, and he will be the head of the family.

As for Miyoshi Kangchang, although he couldn't help himself, he still insisted on putting forward a different opinion - he asked Hisho to send a concubine to inherit the name of "Miyoshi".
