Chapter 720: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
Duan Fei said indifferently: "The women stayed, and the men were sold to the four major maritime merchants as slaves, but it is estimated that there should not be many women on these ships, right?" ”
Song Suqing complimented: "Guogong is really clever, and he quietly took down all the people of the Ouchi clan, and the head of the Hosokawa family will definitely be very happy." ”
Duan Fei said: "I don't know how you are preparing over there in Fangjin Port, since you have already started, you must completely wipe out the power of the Ouchi clan in one fell swoop without hesitation." ”
Song Suqing said respectfully: "Guogong, please rest assured, although I don't have the means of Guogong, I still have some confidence in dealing with those fools of the Ouchi clan in Fangjin Port, as long as the signal is sent, absolutely no one can escape from Fangjin Port and send any information to the Ouchi clan." ”
Duan Fei said: "Then send a signal to let the people on the ship do it." ”
A rocket rose into the sky, bursting into a red firework in the air, and Fangjin Port suddenly became chaotic, Song Suqing was right, with mental calculation or unintentional, the people of the Ouchi clan were eradicated or controlled without any resistance, and the quasi-public port of Fangjin Port fell under the control of the Hosokawa clan.
Duan Fei stepped on the land of Japan, Song Suqing respectfully followed behind him, Duan Fei commanded: "The Duke of China knows that your Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan are equal in strength, and it will be difficult to distinguish the winner from the defeat in two or three years, so the Duke of China is ready to send two thousand musketeers to support you, hoping that the war will end as soon as possible." ”
Song Suqing said happily: "The musketeers of the Ming Jinyi Guard are powerful all over the world, and with the help of the musketeers, our Hosokawa family will be able to successfully destroy the Ouchi clan. ”
Duan Fei said: "What is the situation in Kyoto now? The Imperial Father hoped to arrive in Kyoto as soon as possible to meet with the head of the Hosokawa family and Emperor Ōei. ”
Song Suqing said embarrassedly: "Lord Guogong, the current emperor's year name is Dayong, and his name is Hou Nara...... Now that Kyoto is still under the control of our two families, it would be more appropriate for Kokuko to go to Kyoto in a few days. ”
Duan Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I hope to see His Royal Highness the Emperor as soon as possible, I am worried that the Ouchi Clan's dog will take His Royal Highness the Emperor hostage by jumping off the wall." ”
Song Suqing said: "This can't be prevented, but I believe that the head of the family should take precautions, and the prince doesn't have to worry." ”
Duan Fei said indifferently: "Since you are so confident, then I will believe you once, according to the plan, we will stay in this port for a few days, wait for the news that you have successfully eliminated the Ouchi clan, and then go to Kyoto to meet His Royal Highness Emperor Nara." ”
Song Suqing said happily: "Please rest assured, Lord Guogong, we have been trying to deal with the Ouchi family for many years, and we will never make a mistake." ”
Duan Fei smiled: "I hope so...... Song Suqing, with your current status in the Hosokawa family, you also have a share in the elimination of the Ouchi clan, right? Before you leave, you need to find a guy who can speak well, and you want to know more about the situation in Japan, and what are the rules for the emperor. ”
Song Suqing's expression darkened, and said: "Guogong, please rest assured, Su Qing does not dare to hand over such an important task to others as accompanying Guogong, Su Qing will always be by the side of Lord Guogong these days, Guogong can ask Su Qing directly if he has any questions, Su Qing knows everything and says everything." ”
Duan Fei glanced at Song Suqing meaningfully, and secretly sneered in his heart, Song Suqing regarded himself as a Japanese, but at the critical moment, the head of the Hosokawa family, the Japanese right Jingzhao doctor Hosokawa Gaogong left him aside, in a place like Japan where wars are frequent, military merit is even heavier than that of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to get ahead, seizing military merit is the fastest shortcut, when the war is imminent, Song Suqing was sent to accompany the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, you can imagine how disappointed Song Suqing is now.
In fact, Song Suqing's neglect also has something to do with Duan Fei, if it weren't for the fact that Duan Fei assigned secret agents to spread all kinds of unfavorable news and remarks to Song Suqing to divide the relationship between Song Suqing and Hosokawa Gaogong, I am afraid that Song Suqing would not suddenly be treated so coldly.
Duan Fei settled down in this Fangjin Port, he assigned Jiao Yang and Jiao Xu two brothers to each lead a thousand musketeers, and under the guidance of Song Suqing, he left Fangjin Port and joined the civil war between the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan.
Han Xing, Shen Xiyi and others asked for the battle, wanting to grab the two places, but Duan Fei said indifferently: "What's the hurry, I've come to Japan, are you still afraid that there will be no war?" There are many local forces in Japan, the Ouchi clan is over, and there are also the Sibo clan, the Masayan clan, the Takeda clan, the Akamatsu clan, the Imagawa clan, etc., etc., etc., which is enough for you to play. ”
Everyone is a smart person, and when they heard Duan Fei's tone, everyone's eyes lit up, and they didn't fight anymore.
On the first night in Japan, Duan Fei slept very unsteadily, in fact, he didn't sleep, about midnight, Duan Fei, who was lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, suddenly moved in his heart, he got up and went to the outer study to sit down, turned on the oil lamp on the table, and after a while, there was a knock at the door.
'Aggressive'
Duan Fei said: "Come in." ”
A black-clothed masked man pushed the door in and bowed to Duan Fei: "Humble Jiang Yue, see Lord Guogong." ”
Duan Fei stepped forward to help Jiang Yue up, and said happily: "You are here, I am anxious to wait, worried about what danger you will have in this dangerous place." ”
Jiang Yue reflexively closed the door, turned his head after taking off his mask, and said to Duan Fei: "Grandpa Guo cares for his subordinates, and he is grateful for his humble duties, although Japan is chaotic, it is actually more conducive to our Foreign Intelligence Department to carry out operations, especially the Japanese people who have been subdued in Japan by Grandpa Guo in advance have played a great role, with their hands, lowly positions have developed a hidden force in Japan, these people don't know who they are working for, and no matter who the target is, they can take action at any time to destroy one or two small forces." ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "No matter what, they are still widows, they can't be trusted, and our true intentions must not be known to any outsiders." ”
Jiang Yue said solemnly: I understand my humble duties, otherwise I wouldn't have never appeared in front of those people, and it was all those widows who were subdued by adults who were in contact with them. ”
Duan Fei said: "What is the situation in Japan now? Is there any difference from the last time you sent back information? ”
Jiang Yue said: "Da Shu suddenly sent a mission, so that the ostense situation between the Hosokawa and Ouchi clans eased a little, but in fact, both families have never taken it lightly, although the Hosokawa family has taken the lead, but it has not taken any big advantage, for the time being, the Ouchi clan has chosen to retreat, but the power of the Hosokawa family has always been inferior to the Ouchi clan, if there is no support from the Kokuko, the Ouchi clan will sooner or later turn from defense to attack, so that the Hosokawa family can't eat and walk." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "I naturally won't let this happen, for us, it is in our best interests that the Ouchi clan is destroyed and the Hosokawa clan's vitality is greatly damaged." ”
Jiang Yue said with a smile: "This is natural, but Lord Guogong sent two thousand Jinyi Guard musketeers to support the Hosokawa family today, it is inevitable that there are too many, and the average Japanese daimyo has only a few hundred dead soldiers, even if the Ouchi clan is the strongest daimyo in Japan, he can't afford to stop two thousand musketeers from firing a few rounds." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Although I don't know as much as you, but I won't treat the Ouchi clan as a Tatar to fight, do you think those two thousand people will really fully support the Hosokawa clan in the war?" The Hosokawa clan will soon find out that these two thousand musketeers are not as strong as imagined, their real goal is to muddy the waters of Japan, you wait and see, soon the news of their total annihilation will come out, and the national government will be furious and completely force the Hosokawa clan into a dead end, and any Spo clan and the Changshan clan will be involved, and when Japan is in chaos, it is time for the national prince to make a decision. ”
Jiang Yue said convincingly: "Your Excellency is wise, it seems that your humble duties will also let your subordinates go out more to help your adult muddy the water." ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "That's how it should be, how are the preparations going in Kyoto?" When the time is right, you must act immediately, otherwise you will have to make a big move, which will go against the established plan. ”
Jiang Yue said: "Don't worry, my lord, the humble post has already been arranged, as long as the time comes, I will immediately take action, and even three retreats have been arranged to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Duan Fei said: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that for the smooth implementation of the plan, this matter must be foolproof, this time I brought many masters, I will arrange for them to go back to Kyoto with you early tomorrow morning to lurk, with this group of masters in charge, even if the masters of the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan are exhausted, they will not be afraid." ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Yue brought ten masters led by Guan Xiaohan and followed Jiang Yue back to Kyoto, while Duan Fei put down the endgame and continued to kill time with Song Suqing.
The port of Hoshizu is harmonious and peaceful, but Japan has been plunged into a new round of turmoil since yesterday, the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan are the two strongest groups in Japan, once they start a war, they will implicate many local forces, and under the instigation of well-intentioned people, from Kyushu to Shikoku, from Honshu to Hokkaido, Japan is a piece.
The Hosokawa clan had the upper hand at first, and the musketeers of the Nishiki Guard were also powerful, but when the forces of the daimyo Akamatsu were killed, and the Hosokawa army was less than fifty miles away from Kyoto, the Hosokawa army was stubbornly resisted by the combined forces of the Ouchi clan and several other daimyos, and it happened to rain heavily, and the musketeers suddenly became chicken ribs on the battlefield, and they were immediately defeated by the enemy, and the two armies fought, no one knew where they went, and no one could find their traces after the war.
After another two days, a small number of musketeers suddenly appeared in the army of the Ouchi clan, after identification, the muskets they used were clearly the equipment of the Jinyi Guard, the news of the destruction of the Shujun musketeers spread quickly, the morale of the Ouchi clan's army was high, but the head of the Hosokawa clan, Hosokawa Gaogong, complained bitterly, which called him how to explain to the envoys from the Ming Dynasty, Weiguo Gong Duan Fei!
Although the Hosokawa clan wanted to suppress the news, Wei Guogong quickly learned the news, and Wei Guogong was really furious, but his decision made everyone stunned, and he sent two thousand brocade guards for the Hosokawa clan to call, and at the same time, Wei Guogong put pressure on Hosokawa Gaogong through Song Suqing, and he must kill all the murderers!
Just when Japan fell into a greater chaos, there was a group of people of unknown origin began to act secretly, they went around assassinating the daimyo and the important generals under the daimyo, and they succeeded several times, even if they didn't succeed, the evidence they left behind caused even greater chaos, and the chaos in Japan could not be fully controlled by the heads of the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan in the war, and the only one who could fully understand the situation was the Ming Weiguo Gong who played chess and chatted with Song Suqing all day long.
