Chapter 208 Flag Guard, Thousands of Scoops
ps: If you can, please vote for the bear boy while reading it, satisfy my little vanity, and to be honest, I can make this book known to everyone like other warring states, thank you here
Such a large-scale military deployment can easily attract people's attention, especially the whistling of military generals gathering men and horses to dispatch troops, especially loud and piercing, even the ignorant children and young maids in Osaka Castle can feel that a storm is approaching
After all, she was a favorite concubine who had been with Toyotomi Hideyoshi for many years, and even if Yodohime didn't ask about the world anymore, she wouldn't be indifferent to the changes outside the Honmaru As early as when the city gate was closed, she sent the female guards to try to leave the city on the grounds of purchasing rouge gouache, but she was driven back by the samurai defending the city; Later, she summoned Osamu Ohno and asked why the city gate was closed early, and because the deployment had not yet been completed, Ohno only prevaricated on the grounds that "there are ninjas of unknown forces in the city and a comprehensive search is needed"; When she had no choice but to summon Katagiri and Yuan to discuss, she was told by Katagiri's retainers that she was invited by Osamu Ohno to have tea at noon, and she has not come back until now......
Things have developed to such a point that even a fool should know what Osamu Ohno wants to do, although Yodohime often makes people feel simple and stupid, but at this moment, her mind is unusually clear, knowing that Osamu Ohno may do something that is not good for her drinking hideyori, so she immediately ordered the maid to take Hideyori to the tea room of the castle tower to avoid giving Ohno a chance
As for the defense of the castle tower, Yodohime could only rely on the few dozen female officers and attendants around her, and in groups of two or three, they ran to the passage between the castle tower floors in a panic, watching the movement downstairs in fear and making the weak women tie their hair, holding a sword or carrying a spear on their shoulders, the sight of the head of the guard was both comical and sad
Fortunately, the banner commissioner Junzong Bao led more than 30 flag guards and Hideyoshi's "Chisei Lady" Ma Yin to Honmaru in time, which made the female relatives feel at ease
"I saw that the situation was not right, so I threw down the flag and the thirty-eight people came to guard the Honmaru in case of an accident and took me to meet the young master and his wife" The gun smune came to the castle tower in front of the castle tower, looked at the female officer with a tired face, and demanded in an almost commanding tone, and the samurai beside him was silent, and the "Sensei Ladyboard" in his hand shone in the light of the torch
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Sensei Ladyboard" horse seal was in the tenth year of Eiroku (1567 AD) after Oda Nobunaga captured Inabayama Castle as a reward for his military exploits, as for the specific origin, it is generally said that he tied the empty ladyboard (gourd) tied to the spike of the spear with the wave of the gun to knock down several enemies, and the ladyboard as the horse seal and because Hideyoshi continued to make meritorious contributions since then, each time a ladyboard was added, and the final number was more than one so as the name of "Sensei Ladyboard" (Chisei describes the large number), this horse seal is a symbol of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, can become the samurai in charge of it, I feel the supreme honor
"If the stable can come, the slaves and maids will be at ease," the female official looked at the horse fly and then at the solemn expression of the county sect protection, breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately led the county sect ice tower to the platform
When he came to the door of the tea room, Jun Zongbao unloaded the saber and handed it to the attendants waiting on the side, calmed down slightly, and solemnly shouted to the door: "The left horse head of the subordinate county has come to meet you."
As soon as he heard that the county sect was coming, Yodohime suddenly soothed his eyebrows and relaxed a lot, cleared his throat and invited him into the house
As soon as he pushed open the door, Jun Zongbao was shocked by the scene in front of him: two fifteen or sixteen-year-old attendants holding swords stood solemnly at the door, looking flustered and their legs swaying slightly; The six maids either took makeup knives or took ribs, tightly surrounded Yodohime and Xiulai in the tearoom, and compared to the two male attendants, these waitresses seemed more calm, among them, the two middle-aged female officials closest to Yodohime were even dressed in a full battle, sassy and heroic, no less than men, but even so, the house full of women can resist how many murderous samurai, even if they fight hard, it is only to increase casualties
"I often hear Taige praise the stable for his loyalty and courage, and I am very fortunate to see each other today, and the concubine is really very happy" Saying, Dianji ordered the maids on both sides to make way for him, and the county sect sat down slowly under Dianji, and said with a serious expression: "It is Zongbao's mission to protect you and the young master, even if it is dangerous, the minister will never change his original intention This time he noticed the frequent movement of soldiers and horses in the city, and the minister led the flag guard horse to come to find out, as long as the lady gave an order, even if it was broken bones, Zongbao did not hesitate"
"Taige is really right, the loyalty of the stables can be seen in the sky" Yodohime was so excited that she burst into tears, and she kept praising Jun Zongbao with her lips squirming, "Although the specific situation is unknown, the concubine guesses that this matter is absolutely inseparable from Ohno's repair"
"Osamu Ohno?" Ken Soho pondered for a while, and carefully recalled: "On the way here, the minister did see the repair giving orders to the sergeant of Lord Nakajima, and not only that, but the samurai sent to Ninomaru to investigate the information also failed to sneak out, and the samurai who guarded the gate said that unless there was a repair order, even the young lord and his wife could not leave the city."
"How can it be!" Yodohime punched the tea case, bared his teeth and grinned: "Could it be that this Osaka Castle belongs to his Ohno family, and the concubine is so important to him, and he actually did such a thing today, how can he be worthy of the grace of the Taiko and the Toyotomi family?!" ”
"Madame, don't be angry, now is not the time to be stubborn," Jun Zongbao said bluntly, analyzing the situation in front of him: "According to the minister's speculation, at present, the second and third pills and even the periphery of the main pill have been controlled by Ono's henchmen, only this pill, he may be a little jealous, and he will not dare to seize it for the time being, therefore, the minister can lead his troops to support the top priority, which is to hold the main pill and protect the safety of you and the young master, the so-called paper can't hold the fire, as long as we wait patiently, within three days, there will be a daimyo who will notice the abnormality, and at that time, I don't need it."
"The barred is right," Yodohime nodded vigorously, "but the Honmaru is so big, how can these attendants be able to hold it, and there are only thirty or so samurai you brought..."
"Madame must not be discouraged" Jun Zongbao bowed down, and said seriously and firmly: "At any time, you must maintain a heart of victory, this is given to the minister by the Taiko, and Mrs. can remember that now, these attendants of yours are still responsible for guarding the castle tower, and the samurai brought by the minister are stationed on the main road to the outside world of Honmaru, once the enemy sees that there is an elite horse to protect Honmaru, he will not dare to act rashly, which can buy time for us to get out of danger, please allow the minister to command all the samurai and attendants in the city in a unified manner, so as not to have a conflict of decrees"
"That's natural, the stable volunteered, how could the concubine refuse" Yodohime immediately ordered the appointment of Ken Soho as the general of the Honmaru garrison, responsible for commanding a total of 120 Marunouchi samurai attendants
After receiving the appointment, Junzong Hail immediately got up and left the tea room, striding towards the big hand gate to look at his distant figure, Yodohime is afraid that he will also have the feeling of "Lu Yao knows the horsepower".
Coming to the gate, more than thirty samurai immediately divided into three groups according to the order of Gunmuneho, respectively responsible for guarding the Oteemon Gate south of Honmaru, the chasing gate and the Scratcher Gate on the east and west sides of the Gunmunemon himself spread two tatami mats on the grass in front of the castle tower as a temporary honjin, and Hideyoshi's horse seal was firmly established in front of the honjin In addition, two samurai with good foot strength were selected to be responsible for gathering intelligence and issuing orders In the eyes of this veteran, this may be the last battle of his life, and there is some irony, Less than forty samurai could command in this battle
"My lord, the county stable did bring more than thirty samurai into Honmaru," the envoy in charge of the investigation came to the waiter more than 100 meters away from Honmaru to report to Osamu Ohno
"I don't know whether I live or die," Osamu Ohno pushed away the teacup and said to the two younger brothers sitting on the side: "I thought that this operation would not cause casualties, it seems that I was wrong, or not, kill Liwei, this credit will be handed over to the two of you, I will go and invite Major General Echichu to enter the city"
Ono Jifang and Ono Osamu looked at each other and smiled, and replied in unison, "Thank you, brother, I will definitely live up to my mission for my brother," and the two of them led more than 180 samurai from Nakajima and Aoki's camp to rush towards Otemon (to be continued
