"Although there is a complete possibility that it will evolve into such a serious result by accident. But in fact www.biquge.info Edo riots did not happen by chance, but they were inevitable. I wonder if my brother would like to hear me explain this in detail? ”

“…… Xiuguang, you've said it all, how could I not want to listen to it? ”

"Okay. Since my elder brother said so, I will first tell you about the general state of Edo Castle at that time. ”

Xiuguang took out a folded piece of ordinary straw paper from his bosom and spread it out on the table.

This piece of paper is not large, just less than half the size of the table, and the various traces on the paper show that this paper has traveled a long way. After all, it was sent all the way from Edo.

"What is this?"

Xiulai stared at the papyrus, a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Brother, this is a sketch with the basic location of Edo Castle. I asked the two Wind Demon Ninjas who stayed in Yoshiwara Town, Edo, to draw it. ”

"What?! Sketches of Edo Castle?! This ......"

"It's just a very simple sketch of a few important locations. I just need to rely on this picture to explain, because it will make it easier for you to understand what happened. ”

As Hidemitsu said, this is indeed just a very rudimentary sketch, with only general directions and the names of places on it. However, this is more than enough for Xiuguang to explain things.

"This is the castle tower of Edo Castle, and this is where Hidetada-sama and Aunt Ajiang live."

Hidemitsu first pointed out the location of the Edo Castle Castle Tower in the center for his brother.

"And then to the west, there's a place called Yotsuya and a temple called Chozenji."

Then there is a more remote place in the west, on which are written in ink the two small characters "Yotsuya".

"This is the southern part of the country, called Odawara Exit, and there are many dense samurai houses here. The families of the daimyo who went to the Tokugawa family to give their respects usually lived here. ”

To the south, there is a dense residential area inhabited by the families of the daimyos.

"And here, it's the residence of the Iga Kinkai and the location of the Hokkosho."

Closer to Yotsuya, there is a place called Yotsuya Nakacho. This is where the ninjas of the Iga Kojokai live and are enshrined.

Xiuguang used a brush to draw a horizontal line under the names of the places mentioned here to show their importance.

"That's all the important location. Let's get to know why. ”

Regardless of what happened and what the outcome was, if you want to explain this matter clearly, you must finally tell Hideyori the cause of this incident.

"First of all, the Iga Kojokai is a ninja who serves the Tokugawa family, and is also an important member of the Tokugawa family's information collection and maintenance of Edo Castle. Their leader, the Hattori clan, was given the title of Hanzo, and from the second generation of Hattori Masanari he began to serve the Tokugawa family. And this Masungi had already died of illness in the first year of Keicho (1596). At the time of the Edo riots, the leader of the Iga Kojokai was Masanari's eldest son, Masasa, who was also the third generation of Hattori Hanzo. ”

First of all, Hidemitsu introduced the general situation of the Hattori clan and the Iga Concentric Association to his brother.

Xiulai, who didn't know much about this, was a little confused at first, but slowly began to enter the state, becoming more and more serious, and his brows were naturally becoming more and more tight.

"Although when Masari was still alive, the interior of the Iga Concentric Association was relatively normal. Because he has both strength and the ability to be a leader, the ninjas of the Hearts Society respect him. However, his eldest male is far inferior to him. ”

After the Edo riots, Hidemitsu also learned a lot about this person and his two brothers.

"Just this person, although his own strength is absolutely worthy of the title of 'Hanzo', but this person has a short temperament and does not pity his subordinates at all, so after a long time, most of the people in the Tongxin Association are more and more dissatisfied with him. What's more, the younger brother is more gentle than his brother, and he is not an ordinary person in terms of strength. Therefore, there are many people who even hope that Masashige can replace Masashi and become the new leader. ”

The difference in temperament between the brothers and the various public opinions of the Tongxin Society may be the reason why Cheng Zheng is becoming more and more hostile to his younger brother.

So the contradictions accumulated deeper and deeper, and he became more and more resentful of his younger brother, and at the same time inflicted a lot of resentment on the subordinates of the Tongxin Society. In such a situation, the contradiction will naturally be a vicious circle. When hatred accumulates to a certain point, it only takes a little pressure or rumor from someone to detonate the fuse. ”

“…… Why is this happening? Those two are obviously brothers, right? Brothers shouldn't be like this, right? You can make it clear, huh? He actually resented his own brother...... It's unbelievable. ”

After listening to this, the kind-hearted Xiu Lai showed the same sad expression as before.

"Elder brother, not all brothers have such a good relationship like us. Sometimes, even if they are brothers, there are many examples of hatred for each other due to various factors, and even want to kill each other in the end. During the Warring States period, there were too many such things to count. Isn't Oda Nobunaga and his brother Kanjuro Nobuyuki, Date Masamune and his younger brother Kojiro Masayichi the most famous examples? ”

When Xiuguang was giving examples, Xiuzong, who was sitting on the side, heard his father's name, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, and then subconsciously showed a somewhat subtle expression.

These are all sigh-inducing examples. Xiuguang didn't want to mention it either. After all...... Cannibalism between brothers, flesh and blood, sometimes it's really unbearable.

With a slight sigh, Hidemitsu continued to pick up the brush and scribble on this sketch of Edo Castle, explaining to his brother what happened next.

"As a result, because of external factors, the Kinkaikai was provoked to anger that had been building up for nearly a decade, and in mid-November last year it set off this shocking Edo riot."

Hidemitsu circled the place in Yotsuya Nakacho, indicating that this was the starting point of the riots.

"Well, brother, the problem is again. Who is the one who exerted all kinds of public opinion and rumors on them from the outside, so that their emotions were uncontrollable, and finally they got out of control and launched Iga to fight with one heart? ”

Things get to the most critical part. Xiuguang stared at the list of place names on the sketch, unable to speak in a hoarse throat.
