Chapter 338: Numata Shock
Hot Recommendation:
"I just don't want my father to be embarrassed." Honda Komatsu confessed to Sanada Masayuki, "I guess you know better than me what Numata Castle means to the inner house. If I surrender this city, what a great responsibility will my father bear...... After all, I am his daughter, and with both of my younger brothers all killed in battle, I really don't want to turn my back on him at such a critical juncture. ”
Hearing Komatsu's words, Masayuki was both a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable, after all, she was the eldest daughter of Honda Tadakatsu, and she had inherited a bit of her father's temperament and loyalty to the Tokugawa family.
Thinking of this, Chang Yuki's tone softened a little, he patted Komatsu on the shoulder, and asked kindly, "Looking at your outfit like this, it seems that you are planning to fight me?" ”
"No, it's not..."Komatsu suddenly raised his head and explained to Masayuki excitedly, "I just want to guard Numata Castle for my husband, and I don't mean anything else." ”
"I've already told you, Nobuyuki's life is now in the hands of Youfu, but you still refuse to hand over the city to me in every possible way, so it can be seen that in your heart, Wu Daisuke and Neifu are more important than our Sanada clan." Changyuki withdrew his hand from Komatsu's shoulder, and his tone returned to coldness. This is the wonderful thing about the old fox's speech, which can be collected or released, can be high or low, can be enthusiastic like fire, can be cold as ice, and does not even leave time for the other party to adapt in the middle, it is rare for someone to get his true intentions from the conversation with him, but will fall into passivity in the confrontation with his words, and reveal his thoughts and plates.
Masayuki's words deeply irritated Komatsu, and she was wary of her father-in-law from beginning to end, feeling that Masayuki and Nobuyuki were different, the former's ambitions were much more than a small Ueda Castle, and this ambition could eventually lead to another showdown between the Tokugawa and Sanada families. Therefore, from the moment she married into Numata Castle, she deliberately kept her distance from Masayuki, trying to let Nobuyuki integrate into the Tokugawa family's sphere of influence as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated by Masayuki in the future. To put it bluntly, this kind of simple thinking is to protect his own small family and break up the Sanada clan. This kind of betrayal was never allowed by Masayuki, who, in hindering the authority of the Tokugawa clan, ostensibly relaxed his dealings with Ieyasu and others, but in fact strengthened his control over Numata Castle through various measures. As the head of the Sanada clan's Zhongxing, the conflict between Masayuki and Komatsu gradually intensified before the war, and this meeting happened to be the fuse that detonated the conflict between the two.
"Enough!" Xiao Song clenched her fists, trembling slightly, she raised her head, stared at Changyuki fiercely, bit her lip hard, and scolded angrily: "Since I married into the Sanada family, you have put pressure on me everywhere, and I am even more dissatisfied with letting Nobuyuki get close to the Tokugawa family. But you know, who is the number one name in the eastern country? And even who is the number one name in the world? I'm the eldest daughter of the first Tokugawa general, and it makes sense to help Nobuyuki integrate into the Tokugawa family, but why are you making things difficult for me everywhere? You asked me to think about Nobuyuki's safety, but who thought about my father? My father lost his son in middle age, if I betray him again, teach him how to face the inner house and how to spend the rest of his life? Since the right government promised that it would not be embarrassed no matter what, then please forgive me for being unreasonable, this Numata Castle... I'm not going to hand it over. ”
Hearing this, Chang Xing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me." Why do you think I prevented Nobuyuki from getting close to the Tokugawa family? Selfish? For their own authority? Neither! After the Taiko funeral, you only saw that the Tokugawa family was the number one name in the world, but you didn't see His Royal Highness Youfu, who had been catching up behind him in the past two years, and had won the support of the generals of the Owari faction and many family elders! Changxing married you, and he couldn't get rid of the relationship with the Tokugawa family, if he got closer to the Tokugawa family, what do you think of the right house? In this troubled world, even if you can't be self-reliant, you can't do one-sided stupid things anymore. Think about it, if I wasn't on the side of Youfu, how could he promise not to kill Xinxing, have you ever thought about this? Komatsu, you are the main room of Nobuyuki, and I have no prejudice against you, but I can't understand that you asked Nobuyuki to take refuge in the inner government and let him go to Aizu to work hard. Since you don't want to rebel against the Nakatsu Daisuke and hand over Numata Castle, then I'll have to do it myself. ”
After that, Changxing clapped his hands, only to see that the door of the temple was opened in an instant, and more than a dozen strong samurai outside the door rushed in, unloading her weapons and tying her hands behind her back before Komatsu could react.
"Kashiwara-sama, what do you mean by that?!" As Komatsu tried to break the rope in his hand, he angrily questioned the retainer who took the lead, the Kawahara-sama, whose full name was Kawara Shigeharu, was an old minister of the Sanada clan and one of the elders entrusted by Nobuyuki to assist Komatsu in defending the castle before he set out on the expedition.
"I'm sorry Madam," Kawara Shigeharu nodded respectfully at Komatsu and replied, "As a member of the Sanada clan, I, the Kawara clan, have to obey the orders of the old lord. Moreover, we already know the situation of the young master outside the gate, and at this juncture related to the survival of the family, no one who has two hearts for the Sanada clan will be allowed to take charge of Numata Castle. ”
"Bastard!" Komatsu is worthy of being a heroine among women, and immediately scolded: "Just a dozen of you want to seize Numata City?" It's just whimsical, the generals and group leaders guarding the city gates, as well as the female warriors outside the palace, are all promoted by me, even if you tie me up, you won't be able to get out of the palace! ”
"Yes," Chang Xing smiled and said, "Chongchun, take her out to have a look." ”
Kawara Shigeharu nodded, beckoning two samurai to take Komatsu outside the palace. The scene in front of him really chilled Komatsu: those female warriors were lying in pools of blood, their heads scattered all over the ground, and they looked like they were being executed in a centralized manner; Several retainers who had been entrusted with important tasks by themselves before, except for a few who fell to the ground with wounds, were all covered in blood, holding swords and respectfully listening to Changxing's orders.
"You see, this is the result of your month at the helm of Numata, not bad, at least a few people are willing to die for you." Chang Xing smiled, and then said solemnly: "Leading the army and governing the army is about virtue rather than prestige, I think this truth is also clear to the middle minister, these guys have been with me for so many years, how can you be cured by this eldest lady." Things have come to such a field, I don't blame you, during this time, you and Gentaro will go back to Ueda Castle to rest, you don't have to worry about my affairs with your father, of course you can't worry about it. ”
After speaking, Masayuki motioned to Kashihara Shigeharu to escort Komatsu down.
"Father," Komatsu shook off the samurai's hand, turned to Masayuki and asked, "If it's really unavoidable, please have mercy." ”
Komatsu's words made Chang Xing slightly surprised: "Why do you want my subordinates to show mercy, aren't you optimistic about the middle minister?" ”
"After this experience, I feel that my father is not your opponent... Your ability and ambition are commensurate, and I underestimated you this time, but please take care of yourself, after all, there is more than one father in the hands of the inner government. With that, Komatsu walked towards the hall without looking back, and no one noticed that two lines of hot tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, perhaps, from the moment she was born, her life was destined to be a tragedy.
