After Uakiuhei and Akechi Mitsuhide reported the news of the Inai War to Oda Nobunaga, the overjoyed Oda Nobunaga immediately publicly issued a certificate of appreciation to Uakihira and Akechi Mitsuhide to reward them for their great victory in Sanin. Oda
The army suffered a heavy defeat at Harima Settsu in Sanyo not long ago, and they urgently needed a victory to boost their morale, and the great victory in the battle of Inai came at the right time. This battle directly defeated the three Sanin soldiers who joined the army.
Nobunaga surrounded the daimyo and captured two of them directly. Under the guidance of Matsunagahide and Araki Murashige, many small wealthy families in Kinki who were about to make a move immediately became honest after seeing this.
The happy Oda Nobunaga, after receiving the plan for handling the territories of the Sanin countries drafted by Fukuzawa Yunan's staff, agreed without even looking at it carefully. The most critical request was also agreed to - Rain.
Akihira asked Oda Nobunaga to send his troops to Asora County and Adoption County in the south of Tajima Kingdom to defend the area where Akechi Mitsuhide was powerless.
The Oda family's practice of dividing the samurai directly under their jurisdiction into the territory controlled by the regiment commander and occupying a core area has already been used in the Hokurikudo Army and the Nankaido Army - the three members of Fuchu and the Ikeda family in Kishiwada Castle.
The Yodo Army, the Sanindo Army and the Honganji Encirclement Army were not strong enough in the past, and there was no need to deploy Yuri. However, if Akechi Mitsuhide captured Tanba, Tango and Tajima Hankuni in one fell swoop, a Yuri would be left behind.
It is imperative to monitor this legion.
Generally speaking, these forces directly under the Oda family will be placed at the core of the legion commander's territory, and Chaolai County and Yangfu County are no exception. Although these two counties are only 40,000 stone high, their importance is throughout China.
They are all among the best. Yu Qiuping has made up his mind. No matter what the Yamano family's position is in this negotiation, he must cut off Chaolai County in the south of Tajima Kingdom. If not for anything else, just for the sake of Chaolai County.
That Ikuno Silver Mountain!
Japan has always been a major silver-producing country in the Middle Ages. Its silver mining once accounted for one-third of the world's silver mining, so it has the reputation of the "Silver Country". Among them, Iwami Ginzan and Ikuno are the most famous.
Ginzan made the greatest contribution. As the name suggests, Iwami Ginzan is located in Iwami Province, Sanin Road. It was the largest silver mountain in Japan and even Asia at that time. There is a proverb that says: Iwami Ginzan is equivalent to half a million koku
The Ouchi family, Nizi family, and Mori family have been fighting for control of it for decades. Although the output of Ikuno Ginzan is not as exaggerated as Iwami Ginzan, it can still bring a lot of wealth.
The Yamano family now only has a territory of more than 200,000 koku, but they can mobilize a total force of 15,000 people because of Ikuno Ginzan. Now the Oda family wants to cede Ikuno Ginzan. For the Yamano family, it is simply more difficult to cede an entire country.
Flesh hurts.
But Oda Nobunaga didn't care whether Yamana Yutaka's body hurt or not. He didn't even care about the feelings of his own retainers, so how could he be "considerate" about others. He asked Yu Qiupei and Akechi Mitsuhide to evacuate those heavyweight prisoners, and then he
He personally held another tea party in Kyoto with great fanfare, and personally entertained the two daimyo Yamana Yutoyo and Isshiki Yoshimichi, as well as the Hatano family pen master Akai Naomasa, the three captives. He also specially set up a "parade" before the meeting.
During this link, the three high-ranking captives were "guarded" by Hatamoto of the Oda family as they visited the streets of Kyoto, wishing that everyone in Kyoto could see them. Yamana Yutaka was already so angry that he was almost furious.
The anger was over. Isshiki Yoshimichi's face was ashen, and his mentality collapsed in front of the people all over the street who were rushing to see the captured daimyo. Akai Naomasa's face remained normal, and he seemed to have a good psychological quality.
At the tea party, Oda Nobunaga used the position of the Oda family to announce to these three people the disposal of the Tanba-Tango-Tajima territory that Amakihei and Akechimitsu had previously presented to him. Oda Nobunaga did not make any peace with him.
In order to bargain, they directly handed three pieces of paper with the territory transferred to them written on them.
"That's it. Send a letter to the territory and let them start preparations."
After seeing that the Oda family actually wanted to cede Ikuno Silver Mountain, Yamana Yutoyo was so angry that he almost jumped up. He firmly disagreed with Oda Nobunaga's request and refused to cede Ikuno Silver Mountain to his life or death. He even spoke out.
: If Oda Nobunaga insisted on ceding Ikuno Ginzan, he would immediately send a letter back to the Yamana family and ask the Yamana family to support his younger brother Yamana Toyosada to succeed him, and he would be considered dead.
Unlike Yamana Yutoyo's tough attitude, Isshiki Yoshimichi has completely lost his fighting spirit. Almost all the relatives and important officials of the Isshiki family were wiped out in the Inai battle, and the entire army was wiped out. The Oda family can just send a general to serve.
The Isshiki family was wiped out. The plan of the Yuqiu family's general staff was quite conscientious, leaving a lot of territory for the Isshiki family and the original Tanba wealthy family. Isshiki Yoshitsune had no intention of resisting and agreed wholeheartedly.
If Yamana Yutoyo opposes and Isshiki Yoshitoshi supports, then the key point falls on the Hatano family. If the Hatano family also expresses support, then Yamana Yutoyo is alone and he may have to compromise. But if the Hatano family also has a tough attitude
, Oda Nobunaga might soften the conditions if he has some scruples.
However, Naomasa Akai cannot make such a crucial decision as the elder of the pen family.
"It still needs to be left to my lord's personal decision." Akai Naomasa replied.
"Oh? Really?" Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga burst out laughing when he heard this. After laughing, he glanced at Akai Naomasa coldly and whispered, "I forgot about this before.
.Yachami Castle is still in your hands, right?"
"You write a letter back and ask Yakami Castle to send the family head Hatano Hideharu and his younger brother Hatano Hideuchi to Kyoto to meet me! Aren't you incapable of making the decision? Let them come in person!" Oda Nobunaga made the choice.
He raised his eyebrows, put his hands on the table, stared into Akai Naomasa's eyes and yelled, "I don't have much patience, hurry up."
·
Soon after Oda Nobunaga's request was sent to Yagami Castle, the Hatano family also gave a reply-agreed. Tenui Kyouye is a person who understands current affairs, and the disastrous defeat of the Inai War has made him fully aware of their
Due to the quality gap between our army and the Red Leaf Army, it is absolutely impossible to defend the city. At this point, there is only one way to surrender.
However, after all, the Hatano family is different from the Yamana family and the Isshiki family. Their head of the family was not captured, so they are not so passive in territorial negotiations. If the Hatano brothers are really handed over to Oda Nobunaga, then the Hatano family will
The family is a weapon that avoids rats, and it will fall into the same negotiation dilemma as the Mingshan family and the Isshiki family.
Therefore, when Tenui Gyoye agreed to send the Hatano brothers out, he also added a condition: he required Mitsuhide Akechi, the commander of the Sanin Army of the Oda family, to also send his blood relatives into Yakami Castle as hostages.
At this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide and Yu Qiuping were looking at each other in confusion over the letter from Renjing Jiaye, not knowing what to do. Because Akechi Mitsuhide only had one blood relative - her mother.
"Such an unfilial thing..." Akechi Mitsuhide has been staring at the letter on the desk for a long time, and he has been muttering, "How can it be done..."
"Mother, she worked so hard to raise me. She endured so much hardship for Akechi's family and for me... She is also old and her legs and feet are inconvenient. How can I send her into the enemy's city as a hostage?" Akechi Mitsuhide's face turned a little pale.
Bai, his hands clenched into fists, seemed to be shaking slightly.
"Otherwise, we can knock down Yakami Castle and capture the Hatano brothers. It won't be too troublesome." Yu Qiuping curled his lips, knocked on the tatami with his hand, and comforted Mitsuhide Akechi: "
Let those unscrupulous guys still make conditions, beat them up and then stop."
"But will the lord agree?" Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head with some embarrassment and met Yu Qiuping's eyes, "It is the lord's order to let the Hatano brothers go to Kyoto to meet him... but we are not allowed to fight without permission."
"Let's go ask for instructions. It's better than just thinking here." Yu Qiuping stood up from the tatami, holding the table, walked to the door and started to put on his shoes, "Let's ask the lord face to face."
·
On March 17, after Yu Qiupei and Akechi Mitsuhide settled the siege troops, they took their guards and set off for Kyoto to ask for an audience with Oda Nobunaga.
"What? The negotiations here are going well. You two want to take down Yagami Castle?" Oda Nobunaga said sarcastically with a smile after hearing the request of Akihei Ame and Mitsuhide Akechi, "The whole world
Everyone is watching what our Oda family will do this time. Do you want to lose all face? Then who will negotiate with the Oda family in the future? Araki Murashige and Matsunaga Hide haven't suppressed them yet, and many young people in Kinki are ready to take action.
, if you do this, how will you deal with it when the time comes?"
"It's just... I have to give my mother as a pledge... it's really..." Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't hold his head up after being spoken to by Oda Nobunaga, and said with some difficulty, "It's too embarrassing..."
"Jubei, what are you worried about? Do those guys from the Hatano family dare to do anything to your mother? Their lord and his brother will be in our hands, and your army can kill them with a backhand. How dare they do anything to your mother?"
How about it? You have to take good care of me, maybe even more attentive than your mother at home!" Oda Nobunaga snorted twice with disdain, and then laughed, "When you pacify Sanin, they will also take good care of you.
I expect your mother to put in a nice word for them in front of you! Can't you seize the opportunity to flatter the elderly?"
"Um..." Akechi Mitsuhide still hesitated after hearing this. He raised his head and looked at Oda Nobunaga, as if he wanted to say something more. When Oda Nobunaga saw this, he said angrily:
"Hurry up! Go do something for Yu! Don't write ink here!" Oda Nobunaga shook his sleeves in front of Akihira and Akechi Mitsuhide, and then shouted loudly, "Hurry! Yu will see Hatano in Kyoto within three days.
Brothers, otherwise I’ll ask you questions!”
