Chapter 258: Ukita Turmoil
I heard that another army had broken into Osaka, and it was led by the head of the Ukita clan, which reminded Yodohime of the nightmare two months ago: "First the Maeda family, and now the Uki family, what do these elders want to do?" Xiu Lai, my mother is right, when Taiko was alive, these daimyo were all respectful and obedient, and now in less than a year, all of them have changed, what kind of place are they in Osaka, will they come? Ah Xun, summon Honmaru's guards to follow me to find out, by the way, does His Royal Highness the Right Mansion know about this? ”
The two guards who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly nodded and said: "Someone has already gone to inform the right house, and Ito Dangomori, who is guarding Oteguchi, has now led five hundred imperial horses to rush to the jade stoma to support Matsuura Iyomori in the place, but when the minister came, Zuo Jingliang didn't seem to attack Ninomaru, but turned around and headed towards the Yashiki of Prime Minister Bizen."
"Could it be that the prime minister recruited it?" Yodohime couldn't manage so much, so she immediately ordered the middle-aged female officials around her to gather more than 100 imperial horses to follow her to the jade stoma to find out
To Yodohime's surprise, the road from Honmaru to the Tamastomy was surprisingly quiet, and it didn't look like there was any sign of a fight at all, until the way out of the Tamastomy to Ukita Yashiki, I gradually heard some noisy Ukika Yashiki is located in the castle town east of the Jade Stoma, which is different from Sozo, and it is by no means an ordinary daimyo that can live, only the five elders and the five ministers are the same, or the daimyo that Hideyoshi valued during his lifetime are allowed to set up a yashiki, and the Ukiya family is outside the Ishida family, The closest to the jade stoma, even Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiya did not have such honors, which shows Hideyoshi's respect and trust in the Ukita Hideya family during his lifetime
The closer you get to Ukita Yashiki, the denser the crowd becomes, in addition to the military forces that come from various checkpoints, the eyes and ears of the important ministers and the good-looking and lively women are indispensable, and they quickly give the confused Yodohime a general explanation, among which the first to notice the abnormality is Kodama Motora's wife Anan, as the mother of the Mori Terumoto side room, this woman from a samurai family is not as quiet and elegant as a public noblewoman, she is used to the life of the countryside, and occasionally goes to the bustling Osaka, so she is indispensable to walk around with the neighbors around herOf course, most of the daimyo's wives are reluctant to chat with such women, so she felt bored and wandered around the castle town, but fortunately she ran into a vendor who came from Izumo to do business, so she opened the conversation, and the two chatted in dialect
Seeing Yodohime come to her, the woman inevitably revealed some "information" in exchange for her favor, although Yodohime did not pay attention to her because of this, but in order to grasp the ins and outs of this matter, she still pretended to be humble and asked Anan for advice
"Madame, don't be polite, the old body must tell the truth," Anan coughed, and said proudly: "This matter starts early in the morning, the old body is used to getting up early, so as soon as the day dawned, he led a few maids to walk around the neighborhood As soon as he came to this street, he saw two people riding tall horses, one after the other, rushing towards the Yashiki of the Uki family, and the person who followed seemed to be a samurai, and he called the person in front." Nakamura-sama', and the speed in front of him was too fast, the old body didn't see it clearly, but he heard what he said clearly, what did he say, 'Zuo Jingliang intends to rebel, you have to hurry up and report to the lord', after speaking, he sped up and ran forward, the old body was far away, and saw them dismount in front of the door of the Uki family, and after a few words with the guard, he hurried into the house.
"Just two people?" Yodohime didn't know what the relationship between these two people and the current 300 army was strong, maybe she saw her doubts, Anan continued: "The old man didn't particularly care about this matter at first, after all, the people who lived here were all dignitaries, and there were often fast horses to report the news, but after about two hours, when the old man was about to return to Yashiki the same way, he happened to meet these heavily armed sergeants, and the samurai who took the lead were violent, shouting that Nakamura Jiro Bingbei would be executed, and the one who walked in front heard the soldiers say that it was called' Ukita Zuo Jingliang', so the old body naturally connected these two things, it seems that the one named Nakamura provoked this Zuo Jingliang, and these sergeants are here to seek revenge"
"Is that all?" Yodohime asked
Anan nodded: "That's all, isn't that enough?" ”
"Do you think that's enough? Waste of time! Yodohime listened to it for so long, and didn't get any important information at all, who is Nakamura, and what kind of character is Zuo Jingliang, the old woman muttered for a long time and didn't understand it, Yodohime suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, she snorted coldly, pushed aside the crowd in front of her and hurriedly walked forward, leaving Anan standing in the distance, unable to think of a reason for a long time, how could she offend Yodohime
When Yodohime came to the front of the Yashiki Gate, he was really surprised by the scene in front of him, only to see that the gate of the Yashiki was almost smashed, and three hundred ashigaru people dressed in the family crest printed with the "剣片喰" family crest surrounded the Yashiki group, and more than a dozen samurai led by him stepped forward and talked to Ito Nagashi, who had arrived after hearing the news, and behind Ito, there were nearly 500 troops, and the two sides glared at each other angrily, although the saber rattling was far away and could not hear the conversation between the two sides clearly, but from the intensity of the gestures, it seemed difficult to reach an agreement
Seeing Yodohime coming in person, Matsuura Hideren hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, and said nervously: "Madame's daughter's body, how can you come to this kind of place, it's nothing more than a small contradiction between retainers, it's nothing serious, don't worry about Madame, you better go back to Honmaru to rest."
"Rest?" Yodohime emphasized heavily: "More than 300 people appeared under the nose of the concubine with real swords and guns, and Iyo Mamoru actually said that it was not a big deal, so what is a big deal in your eyes?" ”
"Madame is angry, it is the minister who has lost his words" Matsuura Hideren was just about to lean over to plead guilty, when he saw a crowd of people not far away, bustling, after a while, Toyotomi Hideho appeared in front of everyone with a group of heavy ministers and dozens of samurai, and with him came Ishida Mitsunari and Maeda Genyi, these two commissioners
"Ministers meet Mrs." Under the leadership of Hidebo, everyone saluted Dianhime, although he made a promise to Ajiang, but when he saw the person who was thinking about the twilight again, Dianji couldn't help but blush his cheeks, and muttered: "If the right mansion can come, the concubine will be relieved."
After that incident, Hideho didn't dare to look directly into Yodohime's eyes, so he replied calmly, "This is not a place for Madame to stay, please go back to Honmaru first, and leave it to us here."
"Yes, madam, the ins and outs of this matter have been introduced to Youfu, and it will definitely be solved properly, so you better go back" Ishida Mitsunari also took the opportunity to persuade, on the way to the jade stoma, he happened to meet Hideho, so he told him about what he knew, of course, those things about how to win over Nakamura were still concealed to death
"Since you all say so, then the concubine will take her leave first" With that, Yodohime glanced at Hidebarium, turned around in a panic, and walked towards Honmaru quickly, while Hideho and Ishida Mitsunari joined the ranks of negotiations with Zuo Jingliang
ps: I've taken the time to make a map of the distribution of various forces so far, and the important forces are marked with different colors, and those blank areas are the places where the little names are intertwined, and there is really no need and no time, today and tomorrow I will pass it to the group and the post bar, everyone can take a look at it when you find time!
