Chapter 109: The Tokugawa Brothers
Together with the commanders of the 1st Brigade, Wang Zuomin and Inaba Masakatsu, he discussed how to attack Mira. Inaba Masakatsu said: "After the last defeat, some of the vassal armies have returned, and now there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in total. However, if you attack by force, Kunichiyo may escape, so I suggest that some of them change into Japanese military clothes and open the city gate first, so that they can arrest people. ”
Anyway, a large number of Japanese soldiers were captured, so it was decided that everyone should change into Japanese military clothes, tie a red cloth on their right arm to distinguish them, and then go to Tara Castle.
Inaba Masakatsu walked in the front, and when he came to the outside of Mira Castle, he said to the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate: "The general has been defeated, and I can't find the general later, so I have come to report to the Great Commander." ”
The soldiers guarding the gate immediately went to report to Tokugawa Tadacho, Tokugawa Tadanaga already knew that his brother had been defeated, and was gloating, and when he heard that his brother's milk brother was outside the castle, he was overjoyed, because Inaba Masakatsu had always been by his brother's side, and now like this, is it that his brother has died in the hands of the Ming army?
His heart was on fire, and the long-awaited position of the general of Zhengyi seemed to be beckoning to him. He hurriedly went out of the palace gate, and wanted to go to the city gate to personally ask Inaba Masakatsu and his brother's message.
Seeing Inaba Masakatsu from a distance, Tokugawa Tadanaga shouted, "Where is the great general?" ”
Inaba Masakatsu whispered to Zhao Shujiao next to him: "This is Kunichiyo." ”
Zhao Shujiao looked at Tokugawa Tadanaga running with a cruel smile, just like looking at a wild boar that was about to fall into a trap, oh no, it was a rabbit, and his heart blossomed.
Tokugawa Tadanaga ran to the gate of the castle and urgently asked Inaba Masakatsu, "Where is the great general?" Aren't you together? ”
Zhao Shujiao smiled and said, "Do it." With that, he and Wang Zuomin held Tokugawa Tadanaga hostage, and the soldiers behind rushed towards the city.
Tokugawa Tadanaga was inexplicable, and Inaba Masakatsu said: "Kunichiyo, offended. The general asks you to go and be with him. ”
Only then did Tokugawa Tadacho come to his senses and shouted, "Takechiyo is so despicable, I want to tell my father." ”
Zhao Shujiao didn't understand what they said, he only knew to tie him up firmly, and then said to Wang Zuomin: "Your task is to take care of him, don't worry about anything else." I'm going to destroy this little town by the way. ”
He took the weapon and waved his hand: "Sons, rush with me and flatten this dirt fence." ”
With a deliberate calculation or not, the Guards soon cleaned up the Japanese troops in the city. There were not many dead, about two or three hundred, and more than 3,000 prisoners, and the guards told them to carry the collected food and other items on their backs and return to Kagoshima Castle.
In this way, Kagoshima Castle had more than 26,000 captives at one time, and thanks to the Shimazu family's food reserves, they would have to worry about food.
Ma Shiying took Tokugawa Tadanaga and Inaba Masakatsu to see Tokugawa Iemitsu, Yang Guanggao, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui followed, and as soon as they met, Tokugawa Tadanaga scolded: "Takechiyo, how can you do this? I'm your own brother. ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered and said, "I know that Kunichiyo is my own brother, but do you really regard me as your own brother?" You have always coveted my storage position, and everyone has always been flattering to you, if it weren't for the fact that I was forced to commit suicide and the nurse went to ask for the Great Palace, in the end, this great general would have been in your hands long ago. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga scolded: "You are not as good as me, your talent is not as good as me, why can you be a general, I can only be your courtier?" Both my father and my mother like me, but they don't like you, and this general is what I deserve. ”
Now that their faces have been torn, the two brothers have no scruples about arguing. Ma Shiying couldn't understand what they said, and coughed impatiently: "General, can you talk about your brother's grievances later?" You can always dispose of your own brother in any way you want. ”
When he said it, the pronunciation of his brother's three words was particularly heavy, which made Tokugawa Iemitsu blush, and immediately returned to his original state.
Ma Shiying said: "We have already helped the general do what the general ordered us, and now it should be the general's turn to do things for us." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu laughed: "Now that my brother has also been arrested, then my father can't depose me and put him on the throne." If you want to borrow me to deal with Japan, it is impossible, and I will not agree to any of the conditions you have proposed. ”
Ma Shiying couldn't imagine that this guy was so cunning that he wanted to repay the debt. Man Gui said angrily: "Sure enough, it's a barbarian, and it's backsliding." ”
Yang Guanggao smiled gloomily and said, "Your father really can't depose your position as a general, but we can let your younger brother sit in the position of a general." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered: "Kunichiyo has also been arrested, how do you make him a great general?" Isn't there still me? ”
At this time, a cold voice sounded: "Stupid pig, they mean to kill you, and then my father will only have one son left, and of course the general will be mine." "It turned out to be Tokugawa Tadanaga.
Zhao Shujiao smiled: "It turns out that you can speak Chinese, so why are you still chattering about birds." ”
Inaba Masakatsu stepped in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu and said, "You can't hurt Takechiyo, I won't allow it." ”
Man Gui stepped forward and knocked him to the ground with a punch: "Why don't you allow it, just rely on your words?" ”
Ma Shiying turned to Tokugawa Tadashi and said, "I like the idea of Da Na Yan very much, thank you for the reminder." ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga said: "You don't have to sow discord, my brother and I are already on the same page, and if there is no accident, I will still die at his hands in the end." (Historically, Tokugawa Tadanaga was ordered to seppuku by Tokugawa Iemitsu.) )
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "It's not to sow discord, only one of the two should survive, as for who survives, it's up to the two of them to decide." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a smile: "Your good calculations are just to see who betrays Japan's interests the most, although Kunichiyo sometimes can't control himself, but in this major issue of right and wrong, he still won't fall for your conspiracy." ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga also smiled and said, "As long as neither of us let go, you can't do anything at all." Because you can kill one, you can't kill both. In this way, it is better to kill it directly, why bother talking nonsense with us. ”
Ma Shiying looked at the two brothers, also smiled, and then clapped his hands and said, "Brothers are concentric, and their benefits are golden." You two are really clear-minded, but I don't believe you would choose to do that. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga also smiled: "Of course, my brother knows that I will not betray my father, but I don't know, I have no way out, is the shogunate important or myself important?" It may seem like a difficult question, but it seems simple to me, what does the shogunate mean to me if I die? ”
