Chapter 119: Trouble on the Yodo River (Three Watches)
In the evening, the Hosokawa family's army retreated to camp near the Cizhao Temple, and the noisy quarrel lasted for half the night, until the next afternoon the news came, the Hosokawa family was very disappointed with Hosokawa Harumoto's incompetence, and after returning to the Cizhao Temple, they jointly forced him to hand over the military power, Hosokawa Haruoto left the Cishoji Temple overnight in a fit of anger, and it is said that he went to his father-in-law Rokkaku Dinglai to complain.
After many understandings, I learned that the Hosokawa family was begged to death many relatives, including Hosokawa Harusada, the second son of Hosokawa Mototsune, who was the head of Shimozumi and Izumi, and Hosokawa Haruken, the original descendant of the pawn family, these two people were not those relatives with low status who died when they died, and their death immediately caused riots within the Hosokawa family, and many people were disappointed with Hosokawa Harumoto's performance, so they forced him to leave Jishoji Temple and go to the Rokkaku family to live in the house.
Miyoshi Masakatsu and Kasai Motonari of the Settsu people clearly objected, and both of them were eager to restore the lost family business and take revenge on Miyoshi Chokei's persecution of them, so these two were the staunchest Hosokawa faction, and Hosokawa Harumoto promised to restore the family name for them and seize the lost territory, so they were the last to see the Hosokawa family split.
But as Hosokawa Harumoto gradually loses power within Hosokawa, the position of the two of them is also a little awkward, and they must make a new choice, whether to support the shogunate or continue to stay in Hosokawa's house to make soy sauce, and finally the two of them are combined and determined to try their luck in Tanba.
Because the Shimokashi clan of the Kasai Motosei branch is also closely related to the Kamikashi clan governor Kasai Motomori from the Hatano family, Kasai Motomori is the uncle of Hatano Haritichi, and Hatano Minori and Yanagimoto Kenji were in order to avenge Kasai Motomori, so they helped Hosokawa Harumoto destroy Hosokawa Takakuni.
It can be said that the Hatano family is also its own Hosokawa Harumoto faction, only with Miyoshi Nagakei marrying the daughter of the Hatano family as the main room, and the Eguchi battle two years ago that he changed his attitude, and later Miyoshi Nagakei felt that the Hatano family was of little use, and kicked the daughter of the Hatano family away and married the daughter of Yusa Nagyoshi, which made the Hatano family extremely resentful.
Kasai Motosei is a loyal minister of the Hosokawa family, and Miyoshi Masakatsu is the son-in-law of Miyoshi Masakatsu who entered the Taoist sect, both of them have a great hatred for Miyoshi Changqing, and have always hoped that Hosokawa Harumoto can successfully avenge them, but at present, it seems that it is impossible, these two anti-Miyoshi avant-garde people, can only embark on the road to Tamba with dreams.
Kira Yoshitoki didn't have time to deal with the Hosokawa family's, because he was entangled in another matter, and Takigawa Tokiyoshi, who was acting as an obstacle, said to him, "Lord Pavilion! I'm going to fight! ”
"Yes! The owner! Sanmi is also going to go out! Honda Sanya came to help his brother with a small wooden gun, and he didn't look at how tall he was.
"I, Gengoro, am ready to go out for the Pavilion Master!" Gengoro Watanabe deliberately changed a plain gun and ran over panting, trying to make a very convincing move.
"Your Excellency! Your Majesty is really ......" Shima Shikatsu didn't say anything for a long time, and he seemed to be very embarrassed.
Kira Yoshitoki glanced at the foursome and suddenly smiled and said, "This family understands your intentions, so please go back and continue to practice hard!" ”
"Huh?" The four little men, who were not more than thirty-five years old together, were dumbfounded, according to their plan, they should have obtained the permission order of the governor, what had become of this now? Honda Sanya dragged Takigawa Shiyi in a little confusion and asked in a low voice, "What does the hall owner mean?" ”
"I guess I can't do it yet!" The friends were very frustrated, this raid failed shamefully again, and Takigawa Shiyi said indignantly: "Trust me! It will definitely be successful next time! ”
The war has ended, but Kira Yoshitoki has no intention of disbanding the army, because Hattori Baochang has another bad news, Miyoshi Nagakei was furious after learning the news of his brother Shikawa Ichicun killed in battle, and immediately announced that he would mobilize the troops of Shikoku again to fight in Kyoto, but this time the reaction within Miyoshi's family was mixed, and a reasonable result was not discussed for the time being.
"Continue to play in Kyoto? Is it really a joke to think that the more than 10,000 captives in the hands of my own family? If you don't sit down and negotiate peace, don't you want to be good at Changyi? The corpse of the Ten Rivers is still in the hands of the family. "Kira Yoshitoki is not in a hurry, Omi Bei has only 5,000 people left in the 5,000 people, and Mikawa Bei was spared because of his arrangement, but is there a second time for this kind of good luck? He was not convinced.
It takes time and experience to straighten out the military posture to calm the mood, treat the wounded and manage the prisoners, and the imperial court asked the escaped Hirohashi Kunimitsu to come over to comfort the shogunate army, and said a lot of praise, and from time to time tested his confidence in a very vague way, how sure he was of defeating Miyoshi Nagakei.
Kira Yoshitoki also understands Hirohashi Kunimitsu's distress, offending Miyoshi Nagakei has been forced to stand in the camp of the shogunate, if you can't figure out the strength of the shogunate, it would be stupid, his temptation did not get the desired result, Kira Yoshitoki's answer to him is always so ambiguous, neither admit nor deny, Hirohashi Kunimitsu also felt that asking a ten-year-old child could not get a result and gave up.
The next day, news came that in the spring hall of Jishoji Temple, Kira Yoshitoki said to Yamamoto Tokiyuki: "This time, the tone of this Miyoshi Nagakei has changed, saying that he is extremely disgusted with the Yodokawa people's stubborn obstruction of Matsunaga Nagalai crossing the river for reinforcements, so he ordered the Miyoshi army to arrest the Yodogawa party members, and ordered Ataku Fuyasu, who was stationed in Awaji, to lead the Awaji naval army to advance into the Yodogawa River, and strictly ordered him to destroy the Yodogawa people who blocked the Kamogawa River!" Master, what do you think? ”
"This is Miyoshi Changqing's trick!" Yamamoto Kansuke almost didn't think about it, so he said categorically: "The Miyoshi family has nothing to do, so they must not be willing to admit defeat like this, and send a naval army to exterminate the relatively weak but important Yodogawa people, and use this as an opportunity to control the Kinai waterway. ”
"Yes! Sakamoto Castle is located on the shores of Lake Biwa at the source of the Uji River, and this Yodo River connects many tributaries such as the Katsura River, the Kamogawa River, the Uji River, and the Kizu River. Kira rubbed his sore eyes, feeling very tricky.
Yodo River is the largest river in Kinai, Yamashiro, Omi, Settsu, Kawachi, Yamato are all included, this river runs through almost all the prosperous areas of Kinai, and there are countless other tributaries.
With information asymmetry, waterway mastery, and unexpected advantages, the Kira family successfully defeated the famous general of the Miyoshi family, Shihe Ichicun and begged him to death, this is already the limit of what can be done under the comprehensive advantages of many aspects, even if there are so many advantages, the process of this battle is still extremely tragic, if you expose your advantages, lose the control of the waterway, and have no chance to be surprised, can this battle still be fought?
Fortunately, the Kira family is not without a chance of recovery, with good secrecy work, so far Miyoshi Changqing does not know that Kamogawa is blocked by the Kira family's naval army, and the Miyoshi family has always mistakenly thought that the Yodokawa people are the main force, in fact, in addition to transporting soldiers, the Yodokawa people are just doing some work to chase the defeated soldiers and watch the soy sauce of the prisoners, saying that they are the main force and really wronged people.
In the afternoon of the same day, the leader of the Yodogawa Sanemon ran to Jishoji Temple to ask for help, and I don't know where he got the news, and he was followed by a group of fleeing Yodogawa people, and as soon as the Yodogawa Sanemon entered the door, he knelt down and saluted solemnly: "Please Your Highness Kira save our suffering people on the Yodogawa River!" These innocent people are being captured by Mitsuki, and we Yodogawa people are going to be unable to live anymore! ”
"Don't be anxious, they are coming for you, as long as you stand up and show up, the civilians who have been innocently persecuted will be released." Kira Yoshitoki deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "you", and Yodogawa Sanemon immediately reacted.
Yodogawa Sanemon took a deep breath and lamented, "Can I be forgiven as long as I stand up and turn myself in?" I understand it below! Your Majesty is going to turn himself in! Leave! ”
"Wait!" Seeing Yodogawa Sanemon turn around and leave, Kira Yoshitoki hurriedly called someone to stop him, and said with a wry smile: "Sanemon is really urgent!" What's the point of turning yourself in now? What the Miyoshi family wants is control of the waterways of the Yodo River, and it doesn't make any sense for you to take your life into it, but the family means that you should stand up and tell the Miyoshi family where you are, and know your whereabouts, so they won't waste time interrogating those civilians. ”
"That's what it means! It seems that my Sanemon is still different! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "Yodogawa Sanemon is a typical rough man, although rude but has a shrewdness to go south and north, this kind of person is easy to be cranky, if it weren't for Kira Yoshitoki's haste to stop him, this guy would have really messed things up.
For this kind of rough person with a lot of fancy intestines, Kira Yoshitoki chose to immediately warn him: "In short, Sanemon doesn't have to worry about the safety of those civilians, the Miyoshi family's navy will soon be over, and gathering your subordinates is the first priority at the moment, if you can't break through the siege of the Miyoshi family's navy, whether it is the family's navy or your Yodokawa people, there will be no good end." ”
"We're already doing the work of gathering the people! By noon tomorrow, all Yodogawa armed forces will gather in the Kamogawa Valley, please rest assured that His Highness Kira! Yodogawa Sanemon received a satisfactory answer and bowed down.
