Chapter 504: Monstrous Fury
After a full day of playing in the wilderness, he was about to turn around and return to Edo Castle when he saw a horseman galloping forward, bringing news that Kira Yoshishi was very unwilling to hear, and the battle that broke out in Saijo Castle in Mikawa Province ended with the killing of Kira Yoshiyasu and many generations of Saijo Castle, and Saijo Ryo was swallowed by Matsudaira Ieyasu intact.
Kira Yoshitoki's first reaction when he saw the news turned out to be an absurd laugh: "It's incredible! This Matsudaira Ieyasu is really crazy! How dare he do it to Yu! This Nima is going crazy! How dare that turtle attack the territory of my Trois-RiviΓ¨res Country! Unless he's really crazy! β
If you don't believe it or not, Kira Yoshitoki's heart still chuckled, and along the way, he didn't have the momentum of being radiant before going out, and returned to Edo City in silence to hold an evaluation meeting for the first time, and dropped this document and scolded Mochizuki Yoshicho: "This is your intelligence infiltration, you don't even know that there is such a big thing in Mikawa Country!" Tell me what caused you to concoct a rumor to deceive your family? β
Kira Yoshitoki's original intention was still not to believe or unwilling to believe, but he found that Mochizuki Yoshicho did not do this, but leaned over and said, "His Royal Highness! When His Majesty received this news and sent the ninja to investigate, the people of Mikawa Moriden and Saijo Castle had already been shattered...... Including His Royal Highness's uncle and uncle also killed themselves in Saijo Castle, only a few samurai escorted Lady Imagawa and Mantake Maruden to Owari Province for refuge, and Lady Imagawa and Mantake Maruden should come to Edo Castle in the near future. β
ββ¦β¦ You mean, Yu's brother, uncle. Uncle all dead? β
"Yes......"
Kira Yoshishi was stunned for a moment. muttered, "Brother Yu." Katsuhime's father, the only elder of my Kira family...... Self-harm? β
"It is said that Mikawa Shouden died a heroic death, and he died in the sea of fire after dancing a dance, but Ma Shouden, Awaji Shouden, and Dewa Shouden were seppuku in Ohiroma, and no one survived, including the maid surnamed Xiao, and all of them were ......"
Yu didn't want to hear that...... I just need to ask you, why is this happening! Kira Yoshitoki kicked the case and shouted at the hundreds of samurai in the hall: "Why is Yu's brother dead!" Why did the Yu people of the Three Rivers die! Why did Yu's genealogy retainers commit suicide by seppuku. Saijo Ieyasu is occupied by Matsudaira Ieyasu! Speak! Why is this happening! β
The samurai in the hall were silent, no one dared to provoke the angry governor at this time, the relatives went to hell with one family, this is really more powerful than killing people and seizing the city, Kira Yoshishi has also done several business raids and exterminations over the years, it looks cool, but in fact, every time it is burdened with huge public opinion and psychological pressure.
He chose to act against Shinano's wealthy clan because they betrayed him, and he chose to act against Ichijo because Ichijo repeatedly annoyed him, and the same was true for traitors such as the Daihoji clan in Dewa Province, and the only exception was probably the Miki clan who impersonated his sister Koji family, and the Shinano Kiso clan, another impostor who was forced to get rid of him.
The current Mikawa Kira family is the former Tojo Kira family, and it is also a famous family of the shogunate, enjoying the treatment of the dismount. Even if the honor is divided by the Ashikaga family, it will not change their status, and there is no betrayal in Mikawa Province. There is no need to be loyal to the Imagawa family, and there is no need to be loyal to the Matsudaira family, and only the widows and orphans escaped from the exterminated family.
Kira Yoshitoki really didn't know what expression to use to describe the anger at the moment, and he kept roaring and venting his anger in the end of the meeting, until the anger subsided, and he sat on the tatami mat in a daze with half of his body and mind, and Matsudaira Ieyasu, who was not a threat at all in his eyes, killed his own relatives right under his nose, and this hatred and shame made him want to tear apart the Matsudaira clan now.
Ben Tashi frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Please let His Royal Highness calm his anger, this Mikawa Matsudaira clan is very familiar with it, Matsudaira Ieyasu is the son of Matsudaira Hirotada, the grandson of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, in the Matsudaira family perennial spread the legend that Matsudaira Kiyoyasu lived to be thirty years old and could get the world, which shows that this Matsudaira family has long had a heart of disobedience." β
Takigawa Tokiyoshi opened his mouth wide and said, "What? When you live to be 30 years old, you can get the world? Isn't that kidding? There are really such brazen people in the world! Is there any unknown means for this Matsudaira Kiyoyasu? Otherwise, whoever dares to say such shameless words will definitely make everyone laugh ashamed of it! β
Honda shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard the samurai of the Matsudaira family mention it many times when I was a child, and it seems to be a matter of relish." β
Of course, he doesn't believe in this absurd and bizarre statement, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu died at the age of twenty-five and had not been able to unify the Mikawa country, and a year after his death was the Hanakura Rebellion, Taiyuan Yukisai pushed Imagawa Yoshimoto to ascend to the supreme throne of the Imagawa family, and Owari no Tiger Oda Nobuhide has not suffered two fiascos from Kana Kou and Kodozaka, it is the rise momentum of the infinite scenery, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu is no matter how great his ability is, it is impossible to face the crisis of the strong man in the east and west directions, and he can still "take the world before the age of thirty".
Honda Masashige suddenly said: "Except to take the world in a dream!" β
That's a wonderful saying! Dream of the world! Hahaha......" Takigawa Shiyi laughed heartlessly a few times and was covered by his father Takigawa Shishige, and when he looked back at Kira Yoshishi, he still had a very unhappy expression on his gloomy face, and he remembered that he seemed to have said that many people had died in the Kira clan just now, and hurriedly shrank his head and pretended that nothing had happened.
Kira Yoshitoki suddenly asked, "Where are the three temples of Mikawa now?" β
"The three temples of Sanhe are not only safe, but also very prosperous in recent years with the strong support of the Yizong sect." Honda Shimasa said, "Since the Ishiyama Honganji Temple was once destroyed, the Ichijo sect has been gradually strengthening its support for the Ichijo sect forces such as the Ise Nagashima Ichijo sect and the Mikawa Sanji sect, and it is said that the incense in the two places has been very strong in recent years, and the number of believers has also grown rapidly. β
Kira Yoshitoki slapped the tatami mat and said firmly: "Then let's instigate Mikawa to always be a hit!" Contact the Ichijo Sect and ask them to prepare, send the believers of the Nagashima Ichisho Sect over, and strive to abolish the Matsudaira family in one go, Yu doesn't want to see this hateful family again, and never wants to see them again! β
As an edict issued by Kira Yoshitoki came out of Edo Castle, the Kira ninja immediately started to work non-stop, re-extricating the various plans for the Matsudaira family from the pile of old papers, and with the help of Hattori Masaaki, it was impossible for the Kira family to send troops into Mikawa Province at the juncture of the southern Kanto region.
From the map, it seems that Mikawa Province borders Minami Shinano, but in fact, there are no decent streets to walk between the two countries, and the difficulty of climbing the mountains is definitely much more difficult than that of Minami Shinano to Mino, and attacking Mikawa is time-consuming and laborious, and may also arouse the vigilance of Oda Nobunaga, so it is better to use Mikawa's strength to deal with Matsudaira Ieyasu, a bastard.
After dealing with the affairs of Mikawa Province, Kira Yoshitoki was still very unhappy, and he was determined to take this opportunity to attack Ashikaga Fujimasa who was huddled in the Furukawa Imperial Palace, so he said to the retainers of the Spectrum Dynasty: "Yu is preparing to launch an attack on Ashikaga Fujimasa, the prince of Furukawa, I don't know what you think about it." β
Hosokawa Fujitaka was a serious shogunate, and his behavior was a bit square and rigid, and at this time he was the first to stand up and propose: "Your Majesty thinks that the approval of the shogunate is needed to move the Furukawa Imperial Palace, and you must not blindly provoke the displeasure of the shogunate, why don't you write a letter to ask His Royal Highness Sekihaku in Kyoto to ask His Royal Highness the Princess's order for a crusade?" β
Langgang said in the room: "The palace of the military department is wrong! His Royal Highness is a nobleman of the shogunate, and he is the righteous brother of His Royal Highness the Shogun, and when he left Kyoto and went down to Echigo, he held the power to act in the land of Kanto to act as the general's imperial book, and His Royal Highness the Shogun's book is the imperial book of Kanto, and the book crusade against the Furukawa Gongfang can be completely established! If it can be established, why bother His Royal Highness the Shogun in Kyoto? I heard that His Royal Highness the General's sister-in-law was newly mourned, and he locked himself in the palace for many days and did not want to meet the shogun, so it was also difficult for me to ask for a decree! β
"This ...... It's that the subordinates are not thoughtful. Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled calmly: "Since His Royal Highness can use the letter to crusade against the Kanto Prince, why don't you invite the people of the Kanto Kingdom to raise troops together?" β
Hondo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult! There are still many people in the Kanto Kingdom who support Furukawa Gongkata, such as Yoshiaki Satake, Chiba Yintomi, Yuki Haruho, Koyama Takato, Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, Nasu Shiyin and others...... It seems to include most of the countrymen lords of Shimoshi, Shimono, and Hitachi! It's scary! β
Saito Asanbu scratched his ears and said strangely, "Huh? Does this Furukawa Gongfang really have such a big influence? Why can't I see the slightest sign in the letter? β
Langoka said with a smile: "There are still some influences!" It's just that it's far less powerful than a hundred years ago, and there were many Kanto samurai who shed their blood for the Kanto Princesses in the Battle of Yuki a hundred and twenty years ago. β
Kira Yoshitoki suddenly sneered: "The people of the Kwantung Kingdom are a group of soulless samurai groups, and the so-called people of the Kwantung Kingdom are just a group of mercenary scum dressed in samurai skin, even if there are a few people who have good principles, they can't hide the disadvantages of their overall loss of samurai faith!"
Yu couldn't see the slightest trace of the Kamakura samurai demeanor from them, only this group of selfish and inferior samurai who carried the name of the Banto samurai, and it was a shame that the Hojo clan had been surrounded and suppressed twice in the past ten years! Yu Youxin's belief and belief in the Kanto Shigeshu samurai, Yu successfully did it in Echigo a few years ago, so he can do the same in the eight countries of Kanto! (To be continued......)
