Chapter 200: Major General Yuuki

"Name-giving? The lord wants to help me change my name? Nakato Nobuyo was a little reluctant: "The name of the minister was given by his grandfather, and 'letter' is the common word in the family, as for the word 'friend', it is taken from the partiality of the Hojo clan's important minister, Mizu Masantomo, this name has been used for more than ten years, and I really don't want to change it..."

"Oh, it's really rare to refuse" Hideho didn't laugh angrily, and asked happily, "Is that one called Mijuku Masantomo, his partiality more noble than mine?" ”

"That's not it," Nakato Nobuyu hurriedly replied: "But my grandfather said that Kanbei-sama has been friends with his family for many years, and even after the destruction of the Hojo family, he often contributed to the family, and he is a benefactor of the Nakato family.

"What's so embarrassing about this" Xiu Bang said with relief: "Knowing grace is a virtue, you can follow this path at a young age, why can't the Nakato family be revived?" Well, since you're inconvenient, then I don't force it, just call it Nobuyo, the story behind this name also makes me quite emotional, who is this Mijuku Masatomo, who has survived without being affected by the Hojo family? ”

"My lord, the minister has something to ask the faithful" Komiyayama Harukatsu interjected at this moment: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, has the Misu Masatomo ever obtained the official position of Echizen Mamoru?" ”

Nobutomo Nakato nodded and replied, "My lord is right, my grandfather was known as 'Mijuku Echizen Mamoru in the early years', but Kanbei-sama has lived in Yuuki for a long time, and he has almost forgotten about it, so if you don't mention it, I really can't remember it."

"Well, that's right" Komiyayama Harukatsu bowed slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, speaking of which, this person still has some relationship with the Takeda family."

"What do you mean by that?" Hideho asked

"Actually, the Miaoji of Mizuku Masatomo is not 'Ojuku', but his father's territory is in Mishuku Village, Jundong County, Suruga Province, so he changed his surname to 'Ojuku' Before that, his Miao character should be 'Geshan', and his father is Katsuyama Tomotsuna, a famous minister of the Katsuyama clan who has served Imagawa Takeda and the Hojo family" The reason why Komiyayama Harutsu is so clear about Miyayama Masakatsu is mainly because he has been trying to search for the whereabouts of the remnants of the Takeda clan over the years, creating a premise for the revival of the Takeda family. But it still made some impressions on Komiyama, which is enough to show that this descendant of the Takeda clan has taken great pains to search for his former ministers

Hideho was originally very unfamiliar with that Osaka Masato, but listening to Komiyayama Harukatsu mention the details of the fact that he had served three daimyo in succession, Hideho remembered something In a later "Osaka Summer Array Entry Castle Commander List", there was a record of "Among the ronin of the Osaka side, there were military generals Goto Matabei and Gojuku Kanbei", and later classics also recorded in detail the incident of this Otsujuku Masatomo assisting Osamu Ohno to attack the Honmachi Bridge at night and divide the battle with Naoyuki Tsukashi, and then died in Okayamaguchi during the summer battle

Although he was finally killed in the battle, but at this time, Mijuku Masatomo was still a retainer with 10,000 stone under Yuki Hideyasu, and it is said that the reason why he was appreciated by Yuki Hideyasu was because he was brave and superhuman, and resourceful, as for Hideyasu's death later, Mijuku Masayo and the new lord Matsudaira Tadanao did not get along and left the Yuki family to become a ronin, it was more than ten years later, but from these fragmentary records and rumors, it can be roughly inferred that this Ojuku Kanbei should be a strong samurai with both strength and wisdom

"I don't know this below" Nakato Nobuyu is just a child after all, and as for things like the family name Miao characters, it is not an exaggeration for him not to know

"Nobuyo, you said that Masatomo Mizuku and your grandfather are world friends?" Hideho seemed to have something in mind

Nobutomo Nakato nodded and replied, "It is said that Kanbei-sama and his father absconded to Musashi Province to avoid the 'Takeda Hunting', but if it weren't for my grandfather's kindness to take him in and recommend him to Matsuda-Owari Mamoru, I am afraid that I would not be where I am today, so the relationship between the main family and the Mijuku family has always been very close."

"If that's the case, then it's easy to do" Hideho bowed slightly, and continued to ask, "You just said that Masayo Mijuku is now under Major General Yuuki?" ”

"Yes, it seems that tǐng is valued, and it is said that Yulu has 10,000 stones," Nakato Nobutomo said enviously

"Ten thousand stones?!" Fujido Takatora couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Major General Yuuki knows that he is only 100,000 stones, and he actually gave a reward to a subordinate of the Hojo clan, it seems that the lord has extraordinary abilities."

"Of course," Nobuyo Nakato said triumphantly, "Kanbei-sama's martial arts are very good, I heard that the first battle was the Battle of Nagashino, when he was only fifteen years old and achieved the first rank of six samurai, and his hook and sickle was rewarded by Takeda Katsuyori at that time."

"Sure enough, it's a strong general" Hideho felt sorry for himself that he didn't recruit this fierce general, in fact, when Mijuku Masatomo defected to the Yuki family, Hideho hadn't come to this country yet, and he really couldn't call the shots in this matter

"According to you, Masatomo Mizuku should be trusted by Major General Yuuki?" Hideho asked

Nobutomo Nakato nodded without thinking: "That's true, I heard that a few years ago, I just replaced Matsuda Rokuro Saemon as the elder of the Yuki family..."

"Haha, Gao Hu, did you hear that?" Before Nobutomo Nakato finished speaking, Hideho shouted happily, "Does the old Ai of the Yuki family know what it means?" ”

"Your Majesty understands" Fujido Takatora understood and said with a smile: "With your relationship with Major General Yuuki, if there is another match between the Imperial Guard, there is no need to threaten the general direction."

"You can't understand it like this," Hideho calmed down and calmly analyzed: "First of all, as one of the 'Tokugawa Seki Yashu', Shitso is not the only lord of Major General Yuuki, Furukawa's Ogasawara Hidemasa (a close relative of Ogasawara Takakiyoshi in the same door), Takeda Nobuyoshi of Sakura, and Matsudaira Yasumoto of Kanjuku are all non-supporting sects of the Inner Prefecture, so even if the Ramo Yuki family is concerned, it cannot be said that it has disintegrated the Tokugawa power of Shimoto, let alone that it can dominate Shimoso, which is a very dangerous idea;

Secondly, even if I take advantage of my relationship with Major General Yuuki and win over Mizuku Kanbei to serve the family, I can't think that in the event of a war, Major General Yuuki will be on the side of the family, you must know that Tokugawa Uchifu is his father, and he is also the eldest son of Uchifu, although the Uchifu does not want to see him, and even uses him from time to time, but the major general is loyal and pure, and it is difficult to accept the fact that if the family really conflicts with the Tokugawa family, it is rare for the major general to remain neutral, and I don't expect him to fight back and fight against Edo together”

After listening to Hideho's words, Fujido Takatora couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and asked rhetorically: "Since nothing can be achieved, what's the point of winning over the Imperial Guard?" ”

"How is it pointless?" Xiubao smiled and replied kindly: "Although the major general is the eldest son of the Inner House, he is also the adopted son of the Taiko, although Ai can't convince him to fight against the Inner House, but it is still okay to win him over against the Ministry of Governance in the name of righteousness, Xiujia Xiuqiu Xiukang, as long as all the adopted sons of the Taiko are brought to the side of the family, and then make peace through the relationship between Ajiang and Mrs. Yodo, then the Toyotomi family will all stand aside, in this case, what reason does the Ministry of Governance have to make trouble?"
