Chapter 157: The Same Era

"The old man was born at the end of the Warring States Period, the world will eventually be unified again, the land of China has been in turmoil for too long, if there is no virtuous monarch leadership, the people of the world will not be able to escape the word war disaster after all..."

"Jing Yi Naomasa can't kill the old man, so he can only choose other ways, the old man is entrusted by Lord Yododen to protect the young lord to escape, and naturally he will not fight for life and death."

"So it's still your shadow warrior who dies in the secret room?" Kiyoji Takagi asked again.

Sanada Yukimura looked at Miyoshi Masayasu who was bowing his head beside him: "What kind of shadow warrior, it's just Miyoshi Masahei, he doesn't actually have to die, hey, it's just that I'm not good as the master." ”

Miyoshi Zhengkang raised his head and said: "Why should the lord blame himself, that is his responsibility." ”

Sanada Yukimura seems to have a lot to say today: "Kiyohide Takagi was also present at the time. ”

"My father is also there?" Kiyohide Takagi frowned.

"What Tokugawa Twelve? That's just a rumor, Ii Naomasa, as the head of the four heavenly kings of Tokugawa, has only passed twenty moves under the old man, what do you think about your father? At that time, Qingxiu was forced into a desperate situation in four moves under my hands, and it was thanks to Ii Naomasa who fought for his life to save your father, if not..."

Kiyohide Takagi vaguely remembers that his father was in low spirits for a period of time after the Battle of Osaka, and now he is being brought up, and there is a reason why.

"Huh... Comfortable... The old man hasn't said so much in so many years..."Sanada Yukimura sighed as he looked at the big beam of the main hall.

"Juniors have one last question..."

"Speak..."

"The Shimazu family has taken refuge in the Toyotomi clan?"

The heat exhaled by Sanada Yukimura can be clearly seen: "We are all in the same era..."

"Whew..."Kiyoji Takagi nodded: "In this way, you can also be blinded..."

It wasn't until the wrong person behind him cut off the head of Takagi Kiyoji that Sanada Yukimura finally woke up, it turned out that he was a person from that era, and the people of that era had a task to do at that time after all...

"Take his head and act according to the plan of Dingwu Hou..."

Miyoshi Masaysu took a step forward, packed Takagi Kiyoji's head with a box, and followed Sanada Yukimura out of the main hall.

...

After waking up, Sanada Yukimura finally came out with the last heroic ability at the end of the Warring States period, and with the head of Takagi Kiyoji and the blitzkrieg plan formulated by Chen Cao, he took down the entire Higo Domain at the end of January, and rebuilt Kumamoto Castle, preparing to use the tall and strong Kumamoto Castle as the foothold of Toyotomi Hideyori, after all, he himself could not live in the Satsuma Domain all the time.

In the middle of February of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sanada Yukimura conscripted 50,000 troops, and with Chen Cao's Ming army as the backup, he captured the Fenghou Kingdom in fifteen days...

On March 19 of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sanada Yukimura's army invaded the Bunzen country, the army was unstoppable, the front was grand, Kyushu was shaken, and the two countries sent people to Kumamoto Castle to sue for peace, so far only Hizen country was left in Kyushu.

It wasn't until after the Bunzen Kingdom was breached that Kurada Heimasa and Ueyama Heiji, who had been staying behind in the Edo shogunate, realized the seriousness of the matter, and when they were about to go to Edo to apologize in person, they were killed by the officers and soldiers of the naval division who had been watching them for a long time, and none of them were spared.

...

At the end of March, rumors of an accident in Kyushu were finally confirmed in the main hall of Edo Castle with the arrival of a messenger from Hizen Province.

"Bang..."

An antique vase has been broken and is worth a lot of money...

The protagonists of the dual system, Tokugawa Hidetada and Tokugawa Iemitsu, are sitting on the main seat of the main hall, and the old Hidetada is frowning, and his momentum is exactly the same as during the Battle of Sekigahara...

This is the momentum to kill...

Xiuzhong came forward, which means that the seriousness of the matter is no longer something that Jiaguang can solve by himself.

The messenger knelt at the door of the main hall, which was attended by no less than a hundred of the Tokugawa family's henchmen.

Looking at the messenger who was trembling a little, Xiuzhong opened his mouth and asked: "The old man asked you, is there really only Hizen Country left in the land of Kyushu?" ”

The messenger bowed again: "Back to Lord Taiko, the anti-thieves are fierce, if it weren't for the fact that they have been fighting since the beginning of winter, I think my Hizen Province has fallen into a desperate situation now, and after the head of Lord Takagi reached my domain, my family adults were shocked, and Lord Takagi of Higo Province, who was the most able to restrain the Satsuma Domain, died, then..."

"That's enough..."Tokugawa Hidetada let out a sigh: "Is there accurate information that Toyotomi Hideyori himself?" ”

"According to the scout's report, the commander in charge of the troops is the general Sanada Yukimura..."

Everyone in the hall was frightened, what kind of person was Sanada Yukimura, who almost killed Tokugawa Ieyasu's fierce general.

"Can you see clearly?" Tokugawa Iemitsu spoke.

"The little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense, there is the family crest and flag of the Sanada family as evidence..."

In the baggage opened by the attendant, it was really a six-pattern Qian family emblem flag, and so far, the news of Toyotomi Hideyori's return is true.

"That kid is still alive after all..."Xiuzhong muttered.

"You said there are still a large number of Ming troops helping them?" Iemitsu frowned.

"There were many people in the Ming Kingdom, and it was with the help of the Ming people that Toyotomi Hideyori captured the Satsuma Domain, thus making the Satsuma Domain surrender."

Although Ishikawa Shukazu does not have the wisdom of his father Ishikawa Shumasa, he can take over the position of the head of the Tokugawa family, which is naturally outstanding: "Your Excellency Taikaku, the lord, the Satsuma domain was originally wavering, and now Toyotomi Hideyori has conquered almost the entire territory of Kyushu with the help of the Ming people. ”

The people in the hall sang in unison, and at this time, a messenger arrived and knelt at the door: "Your Excellency General Kaiyu, the Ukita Hideya and his family who were exiled on Hachijo Island in Shima Province are unknown. ”

"What?"

The people in the palace were shocked, if the return of Sanada Yukimura and Toyotomi Hideyori was a small rock that caused waves, then the disappearance of the Ukita Hideya family was a huge stone.

He was one of the commanders of the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara that year, and presided over it together with Mori Terumoto.

"How is that possible?" Xiuzhong couldn't hold back his temper anymore at this moment, and scolded: "Those rice buckets in the Shima Kingdom are hateful, hateful..."

At the moment, no one dared to speak, because their temper was not very good, not to mention that some of them had been lobbyists for the life and death of the Ukita Hide.

And now the disappearance of the Ukita Hideya family is likely to go to Kyushu, so that Toyotomi Hideyori has another absolute help by his side.

Ishikawa Shuwa immediately spoke: "Taiko, Lord Lord, the first step now is to stabilize the Maori family. ”

This is a word that woke up the person in the dream, Mori Terumoto is still alive, that is a signal, and the Mori family did its best to take care of Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then, and it was also loyal to the Toyotomi family, except for the Shimazu clan who pleaded the most for the Ukita Hide, the rest is the Mori family.

"Although Teruma is not the governor of the family now, the feudal government of the two countries of Zhou Defense and Nagato is still from Terumoto's residence," Ishikawa Shuwa frowned to calm himself down: "In the past, we were no less wary of the Mori clan than against the Satsuma Domain, but now that such a major event has happened, the Mori clan is likely to waver, in this regard, the first step is to stabilize them, and when our army moves south, let the Mori clan make a choice, this time, they can only have one chance." ”

Hidetada and Iemitsu nodded almost at the same time, and before his death, Naomasa Iii had commented that Ishikawa Shuwa had inherited most of his father's resourcefulness, but now he was indeed excess.

"The Shimazu family should die, the proton must not be kept, let him apologize for his father, and send the head to the Satsuma domain." Xiuzhong said in a deep voice.

"Taiko, Lord Lord," Ishikawa Shukazu is their Chitaxing at the moment: "The first step is done, and there is a second step, which is to monitor all the daimyo feudal kingdoms that are close to the Toyotomi family, especially Bizen Province, where the Ukita clan is located, as well as the appearance of the Toyotomi family and the relatives of the feudal clan back then, and finally, the Maeda clan must also be monitored, and the Riki family was Hideyoshi's right-hand man back then." ”

"The third step, that is to cut off the support of the Toyotomi clan, the Ming people involved, at most they want money, it is reported that they are now in chaos in the country, they must have bewitched their emperor in the Ming country, the ministers think, when a person is sent as a messenger, cooperate with the heavy money to bribe the officials of the Ming State, and then give the Ming Emperor my Japanese Mei Ji and all kinds of antiques, so far, let them withdraw the soldiers and horses, the Ming officials are greedy, as long as they receive the benefits, they will definitely do things, in this, As long as they don't have the help of the Ming Kingdom, Toyotomi Hideyori, even if they use the land of Kyushu to contend with our army, it is not to be feared;

As long as our army goes south, it will be another battle of Osaka, and Kumamoto Castle is not as strong as Osaka Castle back then. ”

Ishikawa Shuwa's words woke up the two again, and Hidetada was very satisfied, so he stood up and said sharply under the attention of everyone: "Immediately order all the daimyo of the clan to come to Edo to meet at once, and in addition, act according to the will of the Ishikawa family elder, and mobilize the troops of the various feudal countries to come to Edo to assemble and stand by." ”

"Yes..."

"Hizen Country can't hold it for long, so you can only give up, you go back and tell Pingyan Qinsheng to keep your strength, it's really not good, withdraw from the sea."

The messenger nodded at Ishikawa Shuwa, then stepped back.

It wasn't until the people in the hall dispersed that Ishikawa Shuhe, who had not moved, bowed to Xiuzhong and Jiaguang: "Lord Taiko, this time Toyotomi Hideyori came with the general trend, and if you want to suppress it, you have to have one of the two adults personally take command of the expedition, after all, the opponent is not an ordinary person." ”

Xiuzhong felt that it made sense, and Jiaguang immediately spoke: "Father, let the child go this time." ”

Xiuzhong shook his head, his eyes were very firm: "You don't know how powerful Sanada Yukimura is, this person took his retainers and seventeen people to kill the guard circle of Ii Naomasa and others, until your grandfather was in front of him, your grandfather almost fell into his hands, it is definitely not to be underestimated, this trip to the west, I will go in person, and you can sit in Edo." ”

Where did Jiaguang dare to disobey his father, so he bowed down: "The child obeys orders." ”
