This day is destined to be recorded in the annals of Dongying's history.

Because on this day, the head of the Dongying Yanagi Shinyin faction, the martial arts master Yanagi Danma Mamoru who was regarded as a god by countless Dongying samurai, was one person who crisscrossed the three shogunates.

Then, kill all the generals of the three shogunates!

Then he fled away, leaving only a letter!

A letter written in Bactrian -

Brocade Guard!

The death of the three shoguns naturally caused panic.

For a time, there was chaos in all parts of Dongying, and the major princes were ready to move.

It's just that because the incident happened too suddenly, and the news could not be confirmed, those daimyo did not act on their own, but let their secret agents go all out to find out the news and verify the authenticity of the matter.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

The Edo shogunate, the first in line to the Tokugawa family, Matsudaira Nobuyasu, is thundering at the moment.

The Tokugawa family, in fact, is surnamed Matsudaira, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's real name is Matsudaira Hirotada, but he changed his surname to Tokugawa.

Just this afternoon, his father, Matsudaira Hirotada, received Yagyu Tajima Mamori - that Yagyu Tajima Mamori is the head of the Yagyu Shinyin faction, and he is also a martial arts master, whether it is in the three shogunates or the imperial family, he is a guest of honor, the most distinguished guest.

Previously, their Tokugawa family had also invited many times, but Yagyu but Ma Shou had never paid attention to it, and now Yagyu but Ma Shou took the initiative to come to the door, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was naturally overjoyed, so he let the house start sweeping early and prepare to welcome.

But who would have thought ......

When Yagyu Danma Mamori came, he assassinated his father with a sword, and then fled away.

Until now, Matsudaira Nobuyasu didn't know why Yanagi Tajima Mamoru wanted to kill his father!

"Could it be that Yagyu Tajima Mamoru has been recruited by the Imperial Family or the other two shogunates?"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu thought the same thing in his heart.

But this idea, he quickly vetoed.

Yanagi Danma Shou is a martial arts grandmaster, and he has always ignored the mundane world, even if he takes refuge in others, it is impossible to take the initiative to opponents under the grandmaster.

But his father was indeed killed by Yanagi Danma!

What the hell is going on!!

Matsudaira Nobuyasu couldn't find any clue at all.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was flushed with anger, and his body was trembling slightly.

Although he was angry, he was still afraid!

Yanagi Danma Mamoru killed his father, but he didn't know if he could be killed?

What's more, as one of the three major shogunates of the Tokugawa family, countless people under him are watching—he knows very well that those people below, whether they are princes in various places or the retainers and daimyo under him, have their own little abacus in their hearts.

When my father was there, they didn't dare to act rashly, but now my father is gone...... I don't know they won't be ready to move!

The Tokugawa family is now in danger!

At this thought, Matsudaira Nobuyasu was even more anxious.

At this moment in the room, he sat on top of the head, a pair of bloodshot eyes scanning the whole room.

Every minister who was stared at by him subconsciously bowed slightly, lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

The eldest son of the Tokugawa family, the heir to the throne, is indeed not idle.

Although he is still young, he has begun to take on majesty.

Under his majesty, no one dared to accept his wrath at this time.

Throughout the room, there was silence.

"Mamoru Watanabe!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu looked at one of the people sitting under him, and said in a deep voice: "What about the people you sent out to inquire about the news? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any news? Could it be that all the elites under your command are dead?!"

Watanabe Moritsuna, originally one of the sixteen generals of the Tokugawa family, known as the 'Gun of Hanzo', is extremely brave in marksmanship, and is a retainer that Tokugawa Ieyasu relies on.

It stands to reason that this person is the patriarch of the family, and no matter who he is, he must be courteous, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu is there, he can't be so unreasonable, but at this moment, Matsudaira Nobuyasu is unceremonious.

Obviously, he was already impatient.

As soon as these words came out, Watanabe Shougang did not feel the unkindness in his words, but stood up and bowed to the ground: "Shizi, the spies sent out by the minister have not come back yet, and they have indeed lost contact, so I think it should be more than lucky......"

What the?

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu slapped the table and roared angrily: "It's been so long since Yanagi Tajima Mamoru killed my father, and my Tokugawa family still hasn't figured out what's going on, what's the use of asking you?!"

The anger of the prince made the audience silent.

Because of the sudden death of his father, he was very angry as a son, and everyone understood it.

So I didn't pay attention to the unkindness in his words.

Because of this situation, Watanabe Moritsuna also knelt down and said sincerely: "His Royal Highness, the minister has failed the trust of His Highness, and the minister deserves death!"

"Just ......"

"Now that the shogun has died suddenly, my Tokugawa family can't be leaderless, and I need to elect a general as soon as possible to stabilize the family's military heart, so Watanabe has the courage to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to take the throne!"

As soon as these words are spoken, if others are afraid that they will not be able to ask for it.

But Matsudaira Nobuyasu laughed angrily.

"Enthroned?"

"Now that my father's murderer has not been found, and my father's revenge has not been avenged, how can I be on the throne like this?"

"Watanabe-kun, I know you have good intentions, but if you don't take revenge, I will never be able to ascend to the throne!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu spoke with determination.

In fact, as Watanabe Moritsuna said, taking the throne right now is the best choice for the Tokugawa family, which can stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time.

But Matsudaira Nobuyasu is very clear -

It was Yanagi Tajima Mamoru who killed his father!

This person is a martial arts grandmaster, and in this place in Dongying, there are too few martial arts grandmasters!

So here he is, almost invincible!

If this person wants to kill anyone, almost no one in the world can beat him!

Therefore, unless Yagyu Tajima Mamori is killed, it is impossible for him to be safe even if he is on the throne - maybe as soon as he ascends the throne, Yagyu Tajima Mamori will come to the door and kill him with a sword!

The death of his father made him very angry!

But he's even more afraid of death!

Watanabe felt his fear, so he knelt under his head on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrunk.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

"This time, the minister will personally go to investigate, and he will definitely investigate this matter clearly!"

"No! not to investigate clearly!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what the reason, no matter who did it, kill him!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the four people sitting in front of him, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Sakai-kun, Honda-kun, Sakakihara-kun, and Iyi-kun, when my father was alive, he trusted you the most, and in the Tokugawa family, you are also known as the 'Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa'!"

"You are all my elders, and I am inferior to you in terms of marching and fighting, and in terms of strategy and calculation!"

"But now that my father is dead, the only one I can rely on is you!"

As soon as these words came out, the four people sitting at the front kneeled forward one after another and bowed to the ground: "But please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to command!"

"I only have one request, once the real culprit is found, mobilize heavy troops and kill him!"

"Even if he is a martial arts master, I must be killed!"

"Otherwise, you can't take revenge!"

As soon as these words came out, Sakai Tadaji, Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasumasa, and Ii Naomasa immediately shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince!"

After receiving their reply, Matsudaira Nobuyasu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked back at the others in the room.

Today, the people in this house are all important retainers who are among the 16 Tokugawa gods in the Tokugawa family.

After the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu, except for those who led the troops outside and could not come back for the time being, they were already here, and it can be said that it was their existence that brought the Tokugawa family to where it is today.

And right now, the Tokugawa family is suffering from such a great crisis, and all he can rely on is these people.

As soon as he thought of this, Matsudaira Nobuyasu also knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Everyone...... Please!"

......

After a meeting, the entire Tokugawa family was quickly put into combat readiness.

Countless spies were sent out to desperately find the traces of Yagyu Tajima Mamori, and under their close exploration, they also quickly searched for Yagyu Tajima Mamori.

And, Yagyu Danma Shou's side of the brocade guard.

Night, the Tokugawa family.

"What did you say? Yanagi but Ma Shou followed Jin Yiwei's side?

Hearing Watanabe's return, Matsudaira Nobuyasu's eyes widened.

"That's right, according to our investigation, those people are indeed the Great Xia Jinyi Guard, it is said that they came across the sea yesterday morning, there are more than 3,000 people, and their leader Gu Fengqing is also among them!"

Watanabe Moritsuna nodded and said.

"Why did the Jinyi Guard of Great Xia come here?"

Sakai said with a frown.

Sakai Tadaji, as one of the four kings of Tokugawa, is the oldest of the current sixteen generals of the Tokugawa family, and is in charge of the Tokugawa family's intelligence network, which can be regarded as the brain trust of the Tokugawa family.

Although he is in Dongying, he also knows the situation in Great Xia.

knew that the Jinyi Guard of Great Xia had become the biggest force, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Gu Fengqing, had the nickname of 'Sword Demon'.

In fact, after learning about this person, Sakai Tadaji also studied Gu Fengqing specifically.

"As far as I know, this person acts very unscrupulously, arrogant and domineering, when Daxia was just a small Jinyi Guard, he killed Shangguan many times and ascended to the throne, and there is no imperial authority in his eyes, and now he has become the commander of Jinyiwei, the official worships the Taiwei, and his power is very great in Daxia, and he is almost coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the ministers......"

"This person ...... How did you come to my Dongying?!"

Listening to Sakai Tadaji's words, everyone present frowned.

Although they had never heard the name Gu Fengqing before, just listening to Sakai Tadaji's story, they knew that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

And when he came to Dongying, there must be a conspiracy.

"This person must have a conspiracy when he comes to my Dongying, and Yanagi Danma Shou, as a Dongying person, why would he mix with him?"

"What's more important, is it instigated by this Gu Fengqing to kill the three shogunate generals?"

"If it is instructed by Gu Fengqing, this person must have great intentions, if not......"

The rest of the words, Sakai Tadaji did not continue.

Because the situation is now clear.

Yanagi Danma Shou had never asked Dongying about the ordinary people before, but after Gu Fengqing came, Yanagi Danma Shou immediately mixed with him, and even directly attacked the three shogunates.

If there is no connection between this, no one will believe it.

"Anyway, since the whereabouts of Yagyu Tajima Mamoru have been found, we must not let him go!"

"And that Gu Fengqing, he is absolutely inseparable from my father's death, and he must not let it go!"

"Although this person is the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Great Xia, there are only more than 3,000 people under his command who crossed the sea, no matter how strong he is, he will never be our opponent!"

"Sakai-kun, kill them and avenge my father!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu said angrily.

"But ......"

Sakai Tadaji frowned and said: "If we besiege and kill, we can't muster too many troops in a hurry, and there are only less than 20,000 soldiers near the family at present, so I'm afraid it's not very stable!"

"Then join forces with the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate!"

Matsudaira Nobuyasu stood up and looked into the distance: "The two shogunate generals were also killed by Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, and they must want revenge as much as we do at this moment!"

"For today's plan, we can join forces first, uproot Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou and his Liu Sheng Xinyin faction, take advantage of the situation to strangle Gu Fengqing, and ...... these murderers Catch them all!"

Speaking of this, Matsudaira Nobuyasu gritted his teeth and said: "The three shogunates join forces, even if they are in a hurry, they will definitely be able to mobilize at least 50,000 troops!"

"With an army of 50,000, I don't believe that Gu Fengqing can make any waves!"

"No matter how strong he is, no matter how strong he is, no matter how strong he is from Great Xia, he can ...... in this Dongying"

"It's still our Dongying!"

When he said this, his voice was not very high.

But the resoluteness and murderous intent in the words can be heard by anyone.

Everyone present looked at each other, and then bowed to the ground together.

"Obey the orders of the Son!"

......

Matsudaira Nobuyasu soon sent letters to the Muromachi Shogunate and the Kamakura Shogunate.

After receiving Matsudaira's letter, the two shogunates also quickly responded, and they were all willing to join forces!

As Matsudaira Nobuyasu said, their generals were also killed, and it was impossible for this revenge to go unpunished.

And with the strength of one person, they could not mobilize a large number of soldiers in a short period of time, and in the face of the three thousand Jinyi guards who had never seen before, they did not dare to say that they were sure of it.

But if you gather heavy troops slowly, it will take too long...... In case Gu Fengqing runs away, who will they seek revenge?

Because of this, the three shogunates were truly united for the first time, each mobilized a large army, and in a short period of time, nearly 60,000 soldiers were gathered, divided into three sides, and surrounded and killed the 3,000 brocade guards who crossed the sea.

The leaders are all the heirs of the three shogunates, as well as important retainers in the family!

They want to finish their work and destroy the enemy completely!

Of course, if any one of the three shogunates suffered heavy losses when the enemy was eliminated, the other two shogunates would not mind joining forces to strangle them.

The three shogunates did not send letters privately, but they all agreed to do so.

On the contrary, the real target, Jin Yiwei, has been ignored by them.

In the eyes of the three shogunates, close to 60,000 troops surrounded and suppressed 3,000 brocade guards, could this still go wrong?

Even if it is twenty dozen of them, it can bury all the Jinyi guards in this Dongying land!
