Chapter 176: Ghost Vine Hall
Tsutsui Shunding's meaning is obvious, since he can't bear the pressure of Xiubao, it is better to compromise directly, in exchange for the peace and wealth of the family, this suggestion was also put forward by Mori Shigeyuki before coming, the reason why I can think of this, is inspired by the classic event of "Wuyue King Natu surrendered" in the "History of the Song Dynasty".
On the other hand, Xiubo's side was originally reluctant to let go of the territory of Iga a country, but at this moment it was a little cautious: the so-called wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and Hidebo's right minister rank can be on the right, which has made many people jealous, and now, with empty gloves and white wolves, he has obtained the Zhixing of Iga 200,000 stone in vain, and his strength is directly approaching Tokugawa Ieyasu, this result is what many daimyo do not want to see, even if they are wary of the Tokugawa family, Maeda Toshiie and Ishida Mitsunari do not want to see the rise of another super daimyo, This is harmful to the stability of the Toyotomi regime, so they joined forces to stop Tsutsui Shunding at this time, but they didn't expect the Maeda Toshika to retreat ahead of schedule, which made Ishida Mitsunari fight alone and isolate the help, so he had to be forced to agree
Hideho also understood his situation, and wanted to be cautious in front of Ishida Mitsunari, but he didn't want to chill Tsutsui Shun's heart, so he had to say humbly: "What Ishida Jibu said also makes sense, Iga is the foundation of the Tsutsui family after all, so it is handed over to the management of the subordinates, and it doesn't make sense to be reasonable, however, if His Royal Highness Tsutsui is willing, the family can also appoint an acting official to temporarily manage this place, but the annual tribute of 200,000 Zhixing will not be less, and you and your retainers can choose whether to continue to stay in Fudi City, Or go to the place of knowledge and action to enjoy the peace, Xiubao will never force it"
"Don't you need to say this," Tsutsui interrupted by the way before Hideho could finish speaking, "If you can live in Gotoyama or Koriyama Castle, one of the 'Four Famous Castles of', how can you give up if you can't ask for it?" ”
"'Shinajo Castle?' Hideho was puzzled
"Lord Kaiyu, that is the title proposed by Master Gendeong, the abbot of Kyoto Gokokuji Temple at the Fushimi Flower Festival last year, which includes Kyoto and Fushimi in Sanzhou, Gotoyama Mountain in Jiangzhou, and Koriyama Castle in Washu, of which half of the castles in the main family domain are also considered to be honorable," he described with a heart and a voice, and his demeanor showed excitement and excitement
"It turns out that there is still such a saying" Hideho bowed slightly, "Since His Royal Highness Tsutsui is willing, it is inconvenient to refuse in the next, so let's do it, the chief acting officer of the four counties of Iga will be temporarily concurrently served by the general of the family, Peking University and the general of Fukushima Izumomo, if you don't mind, you will do it for you."
"In my opinion, it is not necessary," Tsutsui muttered, "Since I have decided to move to Kinai, I don't want to hold these false positions anymore, as long as you can confirm the name of the Iai family, the rest is so-called."
"Please rest assured, not only will the character of the Tsutsui family not change, but I will also order someone to build a house for you and your retainers in Gotoyama, and all expenses will be paid by the family, as long as you come to Fushimi in the future, I will set up a banquet among the geese and entertain you, and I will never break my promise" Hideho nodded solemnly
Tsutsui Shunding listened to Mori Shigeyuki mention that the goose is the place where Xiu killed and treated more than 300,000 stone Zhixing Daimyo, and now Xiu Biao has this kind of commitment, and the stone in his heart has finally landed, "Thank you Your Highness for appreciating Tsutsui Shunding grateful"
After dealing with the Tsutsui family, Hideho pulled the topic to Ishida Mitsunari again
"I heard that Taiko controlled a Koga ninja army during his lifetime, I wonder if Ishida Zhibu ever knew?"
"Koga ninja? Taiko does have a few ninjas under him, but they can't be considered ninja troops in terms of numbers, right? Ishida Mitsunari looked at Hideho with an "innocent" expression
"But the news I got is not like this, there are more than 300 ninjas under the command of the mountain castle in the mountains alone, you haven't heard of it, have you?" Hideho is also innocent
"How do you know about the mountain castle guard in the mountains?" Ishida Mitsunari asked rhetorically with some surprise
Xiubao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said lightly: "I also heard it from others, after all, he is Taige's henchman, and it is not difficult to know his name, but the question just now, it seems that the Ministry of Governance has not answered me yet."
"Oh, you're talking about the ninja army under Yamashiro Mamoru Shogun," Ishida Mitsunari forced a smile, "Then the humble position will be understood, that's right, there are more than 100 ninjas under his command, and the right government has something to do with them?" ”
"It's not a big deal, I just want to know who their immediate boss is"
"The boss? They don't have a top boss, absolutely not! Ishida Mitsunari replied rhetorically: "After Taiko left, this ninja army was managed by the five commissioners, and it was definitely not anyone's private army."
"Five commissions to manage together?" Hideho despised Ishida Mitsunari in his heart: Except for Asano Nagamasa who was overtaken by you, the other three are not the only ones who are looking at you, what do you say to manage together, it's really nonsense with your eyes open
Hideho understands what Ishida Mitsunari means, since it is the five commissions to manage "together", it is not for him to say it alone, therefore, even if he has any requirements next, he Ishida Mitsunari can temporarily refuse on this ground, and then say something "The five commissions disagree", reject his request, firmly isolate himself from this royal ninja army, and eliminate potential threats Therefore, the proposal that Hideho wanted to put the ninja army under his command was stillborn before it was proposed, As a result, he had to pin the task of establishing intelligence on the Wind Demon Ninja and Togakushi Ninja, who were about to return to his family in the future
"Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for Xiubao to say anything" Xiu Bi lowered his head in disappointment, knocked on the paper fan and said: "Do you have anything else, if it's okay, just step down, the retainers of Da Nayan, please stay, and when His Royal Highness's injuries are stabilized, please report to Zhimatsu Imperial Front on behalf of Xiu, and express your apologies and greetings"
Since Hideho issued the order to expel the guest, Gojo and Tsutsui Shunding also withdrew from the Imperial Room, and only Mori Shigeyuki and his younger brother Mori Dingyu remained in the palace
"My lord, this time I was able to annex the Tsutsui family, and it all depended on these two secret assistance," Fujido Takatora introduced to Hideho
"Gao Hu, could it be that you planned this matter?" Hideho asked confusedly
Fujido Takatora nodded proudly: "The minister just got started, and it was these two brothers of the Mori family who really played a decisive role, they were friends of the minister, and they understood that the Tsutsui family was already a thin West Mountain, and Iga Mamoru was also timid and mediocre, and he had eliminated the Shimoto family many times, but considering the relationship with the Tsutsui family, the minister had to politely refuse, but he didn't expect to happen to encounter this incident, and the minister thought about it, so he planned this plan to kill two birds with one stone, and the matter was urgent, and he did not inform the lord in advance, and asked for forgiveness"
After listening to Gao Hu's words, Xiu Biao's body trembled coldly for a while, and said with emotion: "Gao Hu, Gao Hu, "Ghost Tengtang" is really not a waste of fame, Ai, should I be glad that you are my Xiubao's retainer?!" "To be continued......
