At the Edo assessment the next day, Tokugawa Tsunajo and Tokugawa Yoshimune staged a rivalry. Tsunade demanded immediate peace with the Kaxia and the Emperor's court, while Yoshimune demanded that troops be sent to the Western Kingdom immediately to prevent more daimyo from falling to the imperial court.

These two almost-for-tat arguments caused a great infighting among the participants, and the two factions that supported Tsunade and Yoshimune did not want to let each other go, and if it weren't for the noisy samurai rules, they would almost have staged a real fight in Edo Castle.

At this time, Yoshitsu and some of the Imperial Families proposed a compromise proposal, that is, to negotiate peace with Huaxia and the Emperor's court at the same time as sending troops to the west, so Oda Nobuharu naturally became a formal envoy for peace talks, and the 15,000 troops commanded by the hardliners immediately left Edo for Mino.

It's just that Oda Nobuharu Shunshun Lì arrived in Kyoto again, and the army led by Sakai Ranaka, the lord of the Himeji Domain, had a bad journey. Don't get me wrong, this is not the case that the Imperial Three Families and the Imperial Family Gate are making trouble behind their backs, and the Japanese political struggle has not advanced to the point of deliberately stumbling on their own army, and the Imperial Three Families and the Imperial Family Gate actually hope that the Shogunate Army can win one or two victories to strengthen the Shogunate's position in the negotiations. It's just that the princes along the way can't bear the various demands of the shogunate army for soldiers and food, and without the offerings of the local lords, the shogunate army naturally can't move quickly.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of the reign of Kasenari, the shogunate army of Sakai Laonaka arrived in Gifu, and ten days later, the shogunate army, which had expanded to 30,000 men, entered Sekigahara. Sakai led a group of generals to the site of the Battle of Sekigahara at Tenmanzan, hoping to ensure the continuation of the shogunate with the divine power left behind by Toshoku Daiken (Tokugawa Ieyasu).

On 18 July, 25,000 troops of the shogunate army and the Nishikuni Mori, Hosokawa, Kuroda, Ikeda, Asano, and Nabeshima fought again in Sekigahara, but the shogunate was defeated and then defeated, and was defeated by the flank attack of the Xia army, which joined halfway. Dozens of high-ranking warriors, including Sakai Laochu, died on the spot, and the news reached Mino, and Gifu and other cities directly under the shogunate surrendered one after another. It was only because of the constraints of the Chinese side that the Western Army did not continue to attack Echizen, Owari and other places. Rao was like this, and the princes of Ise, Mino, Shinano and other places also changed their banners and threw themselves into the emperor's court.

On 24 July, Oda Nobuharu took advantage of the summer military letter ship to return to Edo in the midst of the storm, bringing the shogunate an ultimatum to the Kaxia side, which this time did not even mention the division of the east and the west, and bluntly demanded that the shogunate either surrender in the form of a "combination of public and military" or directly accept the fate of destruction.

Xia Jun's ultimatum paralyzed the shogunate again, but because of the death of Sakai and others, the faction in the shogunate that accepted the "combination of public and military" had the absolute upper hand. The general Jiaxuan had the intention to fight to the death, but the defense of the branch city he relied on had been weakened by sending troops to the western country, and there were also problems with the standing and quasi-standing garrisons that he relied on for the Great Wall, among which the quasi-standing garrison was forced to disband because half of the personnel came from the various feudal domains that had been returned to the imperial court, and the standing generals were also half-heartedly unwilling to challenge the superior forces of the Xia army.

In order to save the hearts and minds of the dissipated people, the shogun Iexuan accepted the construction of the Tsunade and assigned 565,000 koku to Tokugawa Yoshimune the Tenryo of the shogunate in Shinano, Kai, Ueno, and Echichu, and added 130,000 koku to the Mito Domain, and 45,000 koku to the Owari Domain, bringing the total territory of the Gosan clan to more than 1.7 million koku. Then the shogun Iexuan set up the Echichi Matsudaira family, and arranged for his younger brother Matsudaira Kiyotake to be the head of the Uenokan Hayashi domain, 65,000 koku Chiyuki, and increased the Aizu domain Chiyuki to 30,000 koku, and the Fukui clan (Echizen Matsudaira clan) Chiyuki to 470,000 koku, and restored the Takada domain (Echigo Matsudaira clan), and moved the Iyo Matsuyama domain, Imabari domain, Takamatsu domain, Saijo domain, Minosuda domain and other pro-clan daimyo of Shikoku to 6 Okutanakura, Dewa Kurume and other places.

Although Ikenobu also announced that he would give a certain amount of territorial compensation to the daimyo whose territory was also in the western country, his move to strengthen the pro-feudal domain still caused the dissatisfaction of the daimyo of the eastern country, in fact, most of the daimyo of the eastern kingdom were foreigners, and many of them were enemies of the Tokugawa family when they became the people of the world.

Jia Xuan couldn't regret it at this time, but he couldn't go back on his word and offended his relatives, and he was tossing and turning, hesitating whether to accept Xia Jun's ultimatum to protect the shogunate, when a sudden bad news made him greatly stimulated.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the Sendai Domain announced that it would send troops to defend the Shogun, and the next day, the Sendai Army slaughtered Edo with great vigour, disarming the feudal clans loyal to the shogunate along the way.

Faced with the forced palace of the Sendai Domain, Jia Xuan had no choice but to mobilize standing reserves to block it. Changbei may not dare to fight against the Xia army, but they still have some courage to face the Sendai Domain. However, to the shock of the standing guards, the Sendai army was no worse equipped than their own, so after several brief encounters, the shogunate army was forced to form a confrontation with the Sendai army.

"It's time to do it." In Tsunade's mansion, more than a dozen relatives gathered. "Without further ado, each family will bring the clan of their own domain, and we will go to Edo Castle ??????"

"My lord, my lord, it's not good," a fan of the academy looked panicked and ran to the front of the room, and said to the powerful minister of the family Xuan era. "Mito-sama, Owari-sama, Kofu-sama, they, they're going to enter Central Olympics."

The room frowned: "What's the panic here, the three royal families want to see the general, can we still stop it?" ”

"No, it's not," Fantou became even more nervous. "In addition to the three royal families, there are more than a dozen relatives." Maybe he didn't understand what he said, so he tried to calm down and then said almost word for word. "They all had escorts, hundreds of them, all with knives, guns and cannons."

Mabe's head buzzed, and then he ordered in a trembling voice: "Stop them, stop them quickly, I'll go to the general to report, I'll go to the general to report!" ”

"Anfang Shou, who are you going to stop?" Before he could get up and run towards Nakao, the door of the royal servant's office in his office was rudely opened, and he saw more than a dozen knife-wielding thugs breaking in with Matsudaira Tokurong, the lord of the Kurume Domain. "Don't waste your efforts, it's too late."

"What do you want to do," asked the room, scolding. "This is Edo Castle, the residence of the shogun."

"The General's residence? Wrong, yes. It's just that if I let Ienobu-sama continue like this, the shogunate will be finished. Matsudaira Tokujung replied with a good time. When the time comes, what will be the general who will not be a general. ”

"You are a rebellion, and you are on the bottom." The room roared hoarsely. "Damn, you can't ??????"

"No, it's all the descendants of the gods, and it's hard to achieve it because you destroy the foundation of the shogunate!" Matsudaira Tokujong retorted. "If it weren't for the secret instigation of you ministers, how could the general risk a war with Huaxia? Now I won't lose all my family business. ”

Mabe was so angry that he reached out to the sword on the side of the shelf, but his hand grabbed the handle of the sword, and two sad flashes of light flashed, and he fell weakly on the tatami mat, and when he was dying, he still accused himself: "You are a rebellion, and it is you who are the ones who are causing trouble in the Tokugawa ??????."

Matsudaira Tokurong didn't look at Mabe's corpse, and pointed to the trembling head and ordered, "Kill him!" ”

Fantou turned around and tried to escape, only to hit the papier-mΓ’chΓ© wall, and several knives were slashed at his back, Fantou struggled for a while, but it was useless, so he had to take care of the bull's eye and fell in a pool of blood??????

This side killed the room of the house, and a dozen or so relatives over there with armed guards rushed into the throne of the general's office.

Seeing the crowd rushing in, the general Jiaxuan, who was frowning and considering whether he should accept the Huaxia ultimatum, asked the head of the Tsunade in some surprise: "Mito-sama, what are you doing here?" ”

Tsunade led everyone to bow to their families: "General, now that the shogunate is in danger, please make a decision immediately." ”

Jia Xuan suddenly understood something: "Are you trying to force me to accept the ultimatum of the Xia people and accept the so-called combination of public and military?" ”

Before Tsunade could answer, Tokugawa Yoshitsu spoke first: "Shogun Mingjian, this is also for the survival of my Tokugawa clan. ”

Jia Xuan smiled angrily: "Okay, great, this is the Tokugawa lineage, it's really worthy of the family just added knowledge to you, you, is this how you repay the family for your love?" ”

Everyone was silent, only Yoshimune responded: "If it weren't for your reckless behavior, how could the shogunate get to this point, so it's useless to say anything, please come to your senses." ”

Jia Xuan was shocked, and pointed at everyone: "You, you want your family to die?" ”

Yoshimune replied, "Only the life of the shogun can dispel the anger of the Huaxia Emperor and preserve the Tokugawa lineage." ”

Of course, this is not true, in fact, it is precisely because of the fear that the general will settle accounts after the autumn, so the three royal families and the royal family who participated in the forced palace were bent on letting the family Xuan die violently.

Jia Xuan glanced deeply at the people present and understood everything, so he laughed: "Prosperous for three years and a dream, I have the heart to revitalize, and I have no power to return to the sky." Okay, okay, I'm finally relieved, I hope you can turn the tide and protect the shogunate and the Tokugawa lineage, and I'm willing to go. ”

After that, Jia Xuan asked again: "Nabematsu Maru is still young, can you spare his life?" ”

Tsunade replied before anyone else, "Please rest assured, Isen-sama, we will let Nabematsu Maru grow up." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Jia Xuan picked up the golden pen holder on the side of the desk and swallowed it. "I'm a general, if I see blood, I'm afraid it's not very lucky??????"

The group walked out of the throne, listening to the screams of the family before his death, and the Tsunade announced that "the general is seriously ill and is ready to pass on the throne to the pot pine pill, and now the family will serve as the after-??????"

After Buda had made some pre-agreed appointments, Tsunade added: "Let Oda Nobuharu go to Kyoto again, and tell the Natsu people that the shogunate has agreed to accept the combination of public and military forces??????
