Chapter 123: The Four Great Hatreds
"At the beginning of the Kofu, this incident also caused a lot of turmoil, right?" Hideho doesn't tell Harukatsu how he found out about this, hoping to use this as a breakthrough to force Harukatsu to reveal the secret behind him.
In fact, after the conversation just now, Harukatsu realized that Hideho already knew everything, and instead of deceiving him, it was better to tell the truth, and maybe he could still get Hidebo's forgiveness, if he continued to deceive again and again, I am afraid that sooner or later he would anger Hidebo, and when the time came, let alone pack up and leave, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to return to Japan alive.
Thinking of this, Qingsheng bit his lip and sighed: "Yes, I don't know if you know that Chen's brother, that is, Xinsheng, and I were not born to the same mother. ”
"I know this, Nobukatsu Gong is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Toyama of the main room, and you should be born to Mrs. Sagami, right?"
"Yes, in addition to Nobukatsu, Mrs. Toyama also had a son, although this son died not long after birth, but after all, he came to this world before me, so I can only be called 'Katsuzo', not 'Jiro'. And since I was born in the side room, I was inferior from birth, but that didn't stop me from being a potential threat to him. Speaking of which, Qingsheng was somewhat frustrated, if it was a child of an ordinary family, brothers could get along with each other carefree, but once it involved the inheritance of the family business, it would inevitably be a quarrel or even a bloody storm.
"It's because of your eyes that you're a 'potential threat,' right?" Hideho asked.
Harutsu nodded: "Before I was born, no one could shake Shinkatsu's status, and because of my grandfather's favor, his status was almost equal to that of his father, which is why after my grandfather's death, the governor of the Takeda family was Shinkatsu, and my father could only serve as a 'formation generation'." ”
"But before that, because of my birth, especially the so-called 'Emperor's Appearance', which caused a dispute in the family, Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi of Huirinji Temple thought that this was the will of heaven, and I was the right person to be the head of the Takeda family; Mino-shou even invited "Master Shaoxi's master from Mino Miaoxin Temple, and said to his grandfather, saying that there is also a difference between single and double pupils, and those who can achieve the hegemony of the ages like Shun are all double-eyed and heavy-eyed; And like the queen of the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who collapsed in the middle way and lost their family business were single-eyed and heavy-eyed. After he said this, coupled with the concept of the eldest son, my grandfather finally made up his mind to become the next governor. ”
"After this incident, Nobukatsu's position was strengthened, and I was closely watched. After my grandfather's death, I was forced to move to Takato Castle, where I was raised by my uncle, Nishina Samamori, and was not sent back to Shinfu Castle until before the Battle of Takato Castle. ”
Hearing this, Hideho knew that in addition to the dispute between Shingen and Shinfan, the dispute between Yoshinobu and Katsuyori, there was also a dispute between Shinkatsu and Katsuko, and it seemed that the dispute between the Takeda family could never overcome it.
"The lord of the matter after that can probably guess," Harumu continued: "Not long after returning to Xinfu City, Gaoyuan City was captured, and my father led his clan to Yandian City for refuge at the invitation of the thief Xiao Yamada. ”
"Don't mention the past," Hidebo said after a few words of comfort, and then asked, "After escaping from Mt. Tenmu, why didn't you go to the Tokugawa family, but to Ikeda Tsuneko, who was still a retainer of the Oda family?" You must know that after the defeat of the Takeda family, most of the Takeda retainers took refuge in the inner government, and even Nobuchi, the son of Takeda Ryuyoshi, and Nobusada, the son of Nishina Morinobu, also defected to the Tokugawa family to serve him. ”
Hearing Hideho mention these two people, Harukatsu was a little angry: "It's all shameless things to help Tian, and they were used by the Tokugawa family without knowing it, and they have long thrown the family's 'four hatreds' against the Tokugawa family out of the clouds." ”
"The 'Four Great Hatreds'?" Xiubao was very curious, he had only heard of Nurhachi's 'seven hatreds' for the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect this trick to be equally popular in Japan.
"That's right," Qingsheng nodded, and skillfully listed the "four hatreds": "In the third year of Yuangui, my grandfather went to King Luoqin at the order of the general, and Ieyasu did not know what to do and acted for the tiger, which caused the army to delay the trip, which indirectly led to the death of my grandfather, and this hatred was also; ”
"In the third year of Tensho, Ieyasu rebelled against Okuhira Sadamasa and stole Nagashino Castle, which directly led to the Battle of Nagashino, during which he united with Oda Nobunaga to bully the widows, resulting in the tragic death of the important ministers of the family and the loss of the main force, and these two hatreds are also;"
"In the eighth year of Tensho, when the vitality of the family was greatly damaged, the Tokugawa family sent troops to attack the Takatenjin Castle, and all the soldiers in the city were killed, and these three hatreds were also;"
"In the tenth year of Tensho, the Oda family launched the Koshu expedition, and Ieyasu once again acted as the vanguard, repatriated the rebel thief Cave Mountain Nobuyo, and united with the Hojo family to attack Suruga and Minami Shinano, so that the Kai portal was wide open, and the Takeda people had no way to go north to Mt. Tenmu, which was the four hatreds."
"I remember these four hatreds in my heart, and I dare not forget them at any time, not only did I want to return to Kai once to recruit the old department to make a comeback, but my strength was limited, and Hojo was in harmony with the Tokugawa family, so I had no choice but to swallow my anger, but I didn't expect that this forbearance would be fifteen years."
Although it is said to be the "four hates", Hidebo feels that each one is a bit far-fetched, take the first one as an example, Ieyasu was an ally of Nobunaga, how could he betray his trust and join Takeda? And if you want to talk about great hatred, it should be the Tokugawa family against the Takeda family.
A few years before Mikatahara, Shingen and Ieyasu attacked Imagawa together. At that time, it was agreed that the two families would be bounded by the Oi River, with Suruga going to Takeda and Enoe going to Tokugawa. However, Shingen allowed Akiyama Nobuyo to invade Enoe and broke the covenant. Although the two sides were later reconciled with Nobunaga's mediation, Shingen still maintained his occupation of Oyama Castle on the right bank of the Oigawa River and Suwawara Castle, and it was precisely because of this that the Tokugawa family broke with the Takeda family.
As for the second and third articles, they can be regarded as Tokugawa family gifts, and these two cities were originally owned by Ieyasu, but they were later taken away by Shingen and Katsuyori, and it is not too much to take back what belongs to them.
For the fourth article, Ieyasu should have wanted to avenge Mikatahara's one-arrow revenge, who let Shingen scare him into peeing his pants in the first place. However, Ieyasu should not have expected that the Koshin Army, which had dominated the eastern kingdom at the beginning, would be defeated in the face of a strong attack from three sides, and there would be no more commendable battles except for the battle of Takato Castle. Because of this, the Tokugawa family, who originally only wanted to take back Suruga, took advantage of the fire to loot and invaded Shinano in one fell swoop, taking all the three prefectures of Minami Shinano, which indirectly led to the demise of the Takeda family.
But the facts are the facts, at this time, as the lord of Harukatsu, Hideho has to consider his mood, everything must follow his wishes, only in this way can he get closer to him and learn more about the remnants of the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family.
"You're right," Hideho agreed, "With this deep hatred, it must be very unpleasant to stay at the Tokugawa family, right?" Fortunately, now that you are my retainer, you might as well forget about those unpleasantness. ”
"How can this be forgotten?! My grandfather and father both died indirectly at his hands, so we don't share the hatred of the sky, even if I die, I will let the Tokugawa family pay for the blood debt! Harukatsu clutched the teacup tightly, and there was a squeaky sound between his teeth, as if he had been poked in the sore spot by Hidebo.
"Don't worry, revenge will definitely be avenged, but not now." Xiubao patted Qingsheng on the shoulder and comforted: "But there is a saying in China that 'it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', you have endured it for fifteen years, do you still care about these years?" ”
"Is the lord really willing to help me avenge me?" Harukatsu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked excitedly as he held Hideho's hand.
"That's right," Hideho took advantage of the situation to put his other hand on Harukatsu's hand and said heavily, "I not only want to help you avenge, but also let the descendants of Silla Saburo gallop on the land of Koshu again!" ”
