Chapter 262 Four Cities Soldiers

Ukita Hideya's words made the entire living room fall into a deathly silence, the so-called "bongkofu" refers to the exiled who has committed both a crime and a betrayal of the lord's order, and is not allowed to accept any official position in other daimyos, and even if he does, he must obtain the consent of the original owner's family, therefore, this punishment is regarded as a heavy punishment second only to seppuku, and the Watanabe of the historical Kuroda family's Goto Keji Kato family's Naono Fujido family was not reused by other daimyo because of this punishment, and eventually became a ronin, The Ukita Hideya hated these rebellious ministers so much that they cut off their way to seek refuge with other daimyos!

"Oh my God, Yellow Gate, that's what you mean by 'know how to do it'? I don't know anything about you" Hideho looked at Ukita Hideya in surprise, and said silently in his heart: "I thought he summoned the two parties to promote reconciliation between the two parties, but I didn't expect it to be such a result!" Feng Gong structure? Oh, do you still dare to say that Ai is afraid that they will take refuge in Tokugawa Ieyasu? Xiujia, Xiujia, what is self-abandonment martial arts, I have seen it! Faced with the unquestioning eyes and stern words of the Ukita Hideya, Hideho closed his eyes helplessly and sat back and waited for the anti-Nagafune faction retainers and Sakakihara Yasumasa to fight back

For the anti-longship faction, this is like falling from the sky to the ground, and it is the kind that fell to pieces, just now a few adults who were happy to celebrate the crown, now they are all dumbfounded, and they want to die, in fact, it is not terrible to be driven out of the Uki family, after all, they have no feelings with the Xiu family, but the release of the "Fenggong Structure", the possibility of letting them take refuge in the Tokugawa family has also come to naught, this commotion, lost the wife and the soldiers, and the important ministers of the stone high and more than 10,000 stones have become wandering ronins, This change was something they couldn't tolerate, especially the Ukita family, who was a cousin of the Ukita family, and Huo Ran got up and shouted loudly: "We are the genealogy of the family who has served our family since the time of the old lord, and there is no merit and hard work, my lord, you treat it like this, aren't you afraid that other retainers will be cold?" ”

"You came to force the palace with great momentum, didn't you think I would be cold? If it weren't for the fact that you have served the Lord's house for many years, it would not be too much to change and be beheaded on the spot! Other retainers, if it's with you, you can go with you to be a ronin, I will never stop my Uki family from not needing to eat inside and outside the guys, Nakamura is, you are no exception, I'll say so much, while it's still early, go back and clean up, when the time comes, I'll change my mind, I'm afraid no one will be left! Ukita Hideya suddenly pulled out the katana on the side, and fell on the tatami mat with a "snap", his eyes were sharp, and his expression was cold, seeing this, Ukita Hideya finally sat down on the ground and hung his head in despair

At this moment, Sakakihara Yasumasa finally couldn't stand it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Huangmen, Yasumasa is an outsider and shouldn't say much, but what you did today is indeed a little inappropriate!" Zuo Jingliang and others are important ministers of the spectrum, and the whole body will expel them, which will inevitably cause greater riots, Kang Zheng has experienced more than you, this kind of thing is not uncommon, I hope you can think twice, don't destroy the Great Wall because of this"

"Thank you Shikibu for reminding you," Ukita Hideya endured his anger at the Tokugawa family, and said expressionlessly: "The so-called two masters of the heart cannot be kept, these so-called genealogy ministers are no longer loyal ministers who are desperately thinking about their own family, they only have personal interests and power struggle in their eyes, and leaving them will do more harm than good, besides, the forces behind them are not simple, let them monopolize power, wouldn't they become other people's pawns?" Shibu Xiu wants to persuade again, I have made up my mind, so let's disperse."

"The forces behind it?" Sakakihara Yasumasa knowingly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"When they become ronins, Shikibu will ask them to go!" The Ukita Hideya was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and ordered the samurai at the gate to escort the more than ten retainers present back to Okayama, and gave them three days to pack up their things and roll out of the Ukita territory

Knowing that they had no power to return to heaven, Toyotomi Hide, Mitsunari and Sakakihara Yasumasa had no choice but to say goodbye and watch their efforts go to waste

However, this matter did not end there, after returning to Okayama Castle, several family elders did not give up, but contacted other retainers of the anti-Nagafune faction in the family to launch the so-called "military advice", on March 25, Togawa Tatsuan in Bizen Tatsu Castle, Hanabo Takamatsu Castle in Bichinaka, Ukita Kan family in Bizen Toyama Castle, Okari Katsu in Bizen Sanxing Castle and Mimasaka Sanxing Castle raised troops one after another, and there were more than 70 retainers in response to these old families, who either went their own way or led troops into the four main cities to assist in the defense, and at the beginning of the war, the army in the four cities was as many as 7,000 people, and the Ukita Hideya can muster no more than 10,000 troops, the two sides are equal, and the longship faction has a tendency to grow

Knowing that his father was poisoned by the anti-Nagase-faction, Nagafune Yoshibei's sister-in-law, Nagafune Dingnao, united with the Nagafune faction to attack Tatsujo, the weakest of the four cities, and never expected to encounter the sneak attack of Hanafu-Ukita reinforcements, and the three armies attacked Nagasune Castle, slaughtering all the old and young of his family, and destroying the houses in the city; After this battle, the anti-Nagasoe faction was even more unsightly, and when Tokugawa Ieyasu used delaying tactics to prevent Ukita from sending troops, he actually sent troops to Hoki Castle, which was the residence of the neutral faction Akashi Honto, and their actions immediately pushed the neutral faction to the opposite side, but the neutral faction was limited, and Akashi Junden repeatedly compromised, and finally Hoki Castle opened the castle without blood, and the Akashi clan retreated to the main city of Okayama, at this time Okayama has been surrounded on three sides, and this is only five days after the elders of the family raised their troops

Due to Tokugawa Ieyasu's obstruction, the Five Elders and the Five Ministers did not agree on sending troops, on the contrary, the anti-Nagasun faction was emboldened, and they elected Ukita Hideya as the new governor of the family, trying to replace the Hideya, and upon hearing this news, the Ukita Hideya finally couldn't sit stillOn April 2, he led his army to break straight into Okayama, intending to fight a decisive battle with the anti-Nagafune faction, but he did not expect to be besieged in the city and not allowed to break through

Hideho saw that the consensus on sending troops was difficult to reach for a while, and if it continued to drag, it was likely that the Hideya family would be deposed, and the Ukita family would succeed the family governor, and the daimyo would have to acquiesce to this fait accompli under the coercion of Ieyasu, and by then, the situation would be even worse than before the commotion

Thinking of this, Hidehail immediately ordered Awaji's Wakisaka Yasuji to lead 2,000 troops, Sanuki's Ikoma Shinmasa to lead 3,000 troops, Iyo's Kato Yoshiaki to lead 4,000 troops, Iwamuro Port's Nasu Zikichi to lead 12,000 troops to land in Bizen, and the troops were divided into three ways to relieve the siege of Okayama on April 4, Nasu Zikichi captured Numajo Castle and Otoko Castle, Wakisaka Yasuji and Kato Yoshiaki captured Sanishi Castle, and Ikoma Kinmasa captured Kurashiki Castle; On April 6, Nasu Shikichi and Ukita Hideya joined forces to capture Nagasun Castle, and Okarikatsu, who was in charge of defending the city, was killed in battle, and the siege was lifted on the east side of Okayama; On April 7, the allied forces successively conquered the castle of the Oka family, Sanxingjo, the residence of the Togawa family, Tatsujo, and Togawa Tatsuyasu Castle, which retreated to Bichu Takamatsu Castle; On April 9, the castle lords of Sarukake Tsurushou to the west of Takamatsu Castle surrendered, and late that night, the gates of Takamatsu Castle should be opened, Ikoma Kinmasa and Nasu Shikichi attacked the castle, Togawa Tatsuyasu was self-defeating, and Hanabo was captured here, leaving only Toyama Castle, where the Ukita family was located, and Toishi Castle, which was Hisashi Hisazo, resisted stubbornly, and the general trend of Bizen seemed to be unfinished
