On June 2, the eighth year of Tensho (1580), Yu Qiupei issued an order in the name of the Oda family, requiring his semi-subordinate Miyoshi family and Nagasogabe family to immediately stop fighting, otherwise the Yu Qiu family would intervene in the dispute. Miyoshi family
He responded immediately, stopped the attack on the Nakamura Imperial Palace, and broke away from the fighting on various front lines. Choso Gabe Motochichi knew that he could no longer advance the front, so he had no choice but to stop fighting due to the pressure of the situation.
As soon as the war stopped, all that was left was negotiation. Yu Qiupei originally wanted to invite representatives of the Chosogabe family and the Miyoshi family to come to Suruga Marugami for negotiations, but Chosogabe Motochin always refused because he was busy with military affairs.
.Yu Qiuping knew that this was Changzonggabu Yuanqin who wanted to gain face, so he stopped forcing it and changed the location of the negotiation to the military camp of Changzonggabu family - Yu Qiuping, Changzonggabu Yuanqin
I dare not do anything to the people of the Sanhao family under his nose.
On June 5, the eighth year of Tianzheng (1580), Yu Qiuping took Miyoshi Yixing, Shihe Cunbao and others, escorted by guards, to the outside of the camp of Changzong's family in the east of Lusen City. The people of Miyoshi's family
He went to call the door, but was rudely driven back by the guards of Chang Zong's house.
"Damn, who do they think they are?" Upon seeing this, Shihe depositor jumped up on his horse and whipped his whip in anger, and wanted to rush to the camp gate, but was stopped by Miyoshi Yoshihiro.
"Fourth brother, Chang Zong, my family is rude first, how can we follow suit?" Miyoshi Yixing frowned and admonished Shihe Cumbao, "Be patient and don't be impatient. Just listen to His Highness Hongye's orders."
"Haha, what can I order? If they don't open the door, there's nothing I can do." Yu Qiuping smiled and spread his hands towards Miyoshi Yixing and Shihe Zunbo, "I'll go call the door myself and see if they open it for me.
This face."
So, Yu Qiuping led several guards to ride horses to the camp of Chosonggabu's family, and asked Taihei Asahina behind him to shout: "We have made an appointment with His Highness Chosonggabu to negotiate. Could you please open the door?"
.”
"My master is handling military affairs and has sent someone to report it, but it may take a while for the reply. Before that, I don't dare to open the door without permission, so I can only ask you to wait..." The guard at the door of Changzonggabu said.
The sonorous voice skillfully repeated the words told to them by Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin. However, halfway through his words, his voice became weaker and weaker, and the last half of the sentence was almost inaudible.
"Sir, what's wrong?" the guard beside him asked in surprise, "Are you choking?"
"No, it's not..." the leading guard hesitated, then raised his hand to point, but suddenly felt that his action was very impolite, so he pointed his elbow in the distance, "The one with the red leaf shawl"
That... seems to be His Highness Hongye?"
"Your Highness Hongye?" The guard next to him looked over and found that it was indeed Yu Qiuping, "But the master has taken the responsibility. Even if His Highness Hongye arrives, he will have to wait for them at the door for a while."
"What...what do I do..." the leading guard swallowed and said in embarrassment, "You are a newcomer...you don't know. If His Highness Hongye hadn't ignored the previous grudges and came back to support us with kindness for grudges, I would have told him that in Gang
We are outside Fengcheng... His Highness Hongye is my savior. He asked me to leave him outside the door... This..."
The rookie guard was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked around, and found that many of the guards at the door had troubled expressions on their faces and were a little shaken.
"Why don't you open the door?"
"Let's just keep them waiting for a while. It doesn't count as disobeying the Lord's order."
"How can we let His Highness Hongye wait outside..."
Discussions began to ring out in the crowd, and the voices became louder and louder. The leading guard finally made up his mind, pretended to turn around and shouted a few words into the camp, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your Highness Hongye, the Lord's order.
We're here, please come in." After that, he waved to the two guards at the door. The two men nodded in relief and pushed the door open together.
"Thank you very much." Yu Qiuping raised his hands to the guards at the camp gate, and was immediately frightened to the point where they all said "dare not dare" again and again.
Yu Qiuping rode his horse to the gate of the camp, dismounted very politely, and led the horse towards the camp. Upon seeing this, the guards of the Yu Qiu family also dismounted. Shihe Zunbomi followed not far behind.
He curled his lips and had no choice but to dismount and walk with everyone else. He showed a disdainful expression and whispered to Miyoshi Yoshiki, "How can this not have the style of a stronghold of the Oda family? If you have to dismount when you enter a vassal camp, wouldn't it be a killing?
I am so powerful that the people in my department of the Changzong will laugh at me? If I lose in terms of momentum, how can I negotiate later?"
"Fourth brother, don't underestimate His Highness Momiji." Miyoshi Yoshihiro scolded in a low voice with great dissatisfaction, "Even my father and uncle value him so much. How can we speculate on such a person?"
"If it weren't for the fact that my father respects him, and that guy seems to admire my father and uncles, I would have stopped dealing with him." Shihe depositor muttered awkwardly, thinking of Chang Zong after entering the door.
People in my family would look at me walking with ridicule and become very angry.
However, after entering the gate of the camp, Shihe Chunbao found that he had thought completely wrong. None of the soldiers in the Changzong Division in the camp were taunting Yu Qiuping? They were all cheering.
"Your Highness Hongye is here!"
"It's His Highness Hongye!"
"Long live Your Highness Hongye!"
The Chosoga troops who were having lunch in various tents, when they heard that Yu Qiupei was coming, they all ran out of the tents and gathered around to say hello to Yu Qiupei. From ordinary ashigaru and civilians, to samurai and even
The oldest Tosa samurai in the family, including the most important ministers like Fukudome Okamasa, all warmly welcomed Yu Qiupei. Yu Qiupei greeted them one by one with a smile, without any airs.
"This..." Shihe depositor shook his head in disbelief, "How can this be more lively than entering his own military camp?"
"During the First World War in Tosa, the Yuqiu family and the Chosougabu family were at loggerheads. The Choshugabu family even attacked His Highness Momiji and wanted to sell His Highness Momiji to our Miyoshi family." Miyoshi Yoshihiro smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
For a moment, I also remembered the discussion between my father and uncles back then, "It turned out that Yuqiu Hongye didn't hold grudges, and he could have safely evacuated from Urato Castle. But he saw our Miyoshi family's army approaching the border, and the Chozonggabe family
He was in danger, but he actually came back to support the Chosou Gabu family who had just betrayed him, and saved them from annihilation. This kind of behavior is really... really..." Miyoshi Yoshihiro thought about it for a long time, but still didn't know.
What words should be used?
"He's such a bad guy." For some reason, Mori Nagako, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, suddenly laughed and then walked away quickly.
"Ah, what that gentleman said is quite right." Miyoshi Yoshi nodded slightly with mixed emotions, "Such an act of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness immediately won him the hearts and minds of Tosa. My second uncle told me a long time ago.
, His Highness Momiji’s popularity in Tosa is estimated to be second only to His Highness Chosogabu.”
"Well...a strange person." Shihe depository didn't know how to evaluate it, so he said it casually.
"My father and uncles have been life-and-death enemies with him for more than ten years. The two armies fought countless times and brought him to death several times. No one will forget such a bloody feud," Miyoshi Yoshihiro said with emotion.
He sighed and said, "But since we surrendered, he has not caused any trouble to us once during this period. Instead, he treats us sincerely. There is no need to say more about his character. No wonder he is someone whom my father values."
·
Chang Zong Gabu Yuanqin, who was waiting in the main tent, silently watched Yu Qiuping pass through the cheering crowd, with a nonchalant smile on his lips, while Xiang Zong Gabu Qin Tai looked at his own brother with some uneasiness.
.
"Your Highness, Chang Zong." Yu Qiuping walked to the gate of the camp and walked in after the guard announced. He found that Chang Zong's Yuan Qin had no intention of getting up to greet him, so he smiled and said, "Why, I'm not welcome to come.
?"
"How can there be no welcome? Aren't there so many people outside welcoming His Highness Zhibu?" Changzong's Yuanqin said angrily, and then stood up and gave up the main seat he was sitting on to Yu Qiuping.
.
"When I first came to Tosa, I didn't get such good treatment." Yu Qiuping also retorted sarcastically, and sat down on the main seat without being polite.
"It's important for a person to be self-aware. Nowadays, no one can match the Oda family, and His Highness Jibu is an important power with the right to freely ban. I will not fight for what should be given over." Nagasou Gabe Motochika said with a bang.
He sat down at the second seat, glanced at Miyoshi Yoshihiro and Tokawa Sumbo with disdain, and said solemnly, "But... I won't give in to anything that should be fought."
"What does your Highness, Chang Zong, want to fight for?" Yu Qiuping also became serious and asked very solemnly.
"The land of the Four Kingdoms." Chozonggabu Yuanqin stretched out his hand and tapped his foot vigorously, "I will not give away even an inch of the land obtained by the Chozonggabu family."
"Iyo Kingdom was promised to us by His Highness Jibu and General Oda You!" Tokawa depository immediately shouted after hearing this, "Why are you occupying our place and not giving it back?"
"Just because it was defeated with the blood and sacrifice of the Chosogabe family's soldiers, how could I give it up?" Chosogabe Motochika sneered, "The Miyoshi family has been owned by the Oda family and the Chosogabe family for many years.
Our great enemy has changed so quickly now? He actually wants land from me? You have robbed Nishi Tosa for so many years before, why didn’t you think of giving it back?"
"You and I were enemies at that time, so there was no reason to return it." Mihaoshi Yixing raised his hand to stop Shihe Cumbao, who was about to have another attack, and said without being humble or arrogant.
"Then now our two families are also enemies." Yuanqin, the head of our clan, said in a deep and merciless voice.
"You are all allies of the Oda family." Yu Qiupei stood up and spoke for Miyoshi Yoshiki.
"But the Chosogabe family and the Miyoshi family are not allies." Chosogabe Motochin retorted tit for tat.
"I came here this time to make you two allies." Yu Qiuping stretched out his hands and pointed at Chang Zonggabu Motochin and Miyoshi Yixing.
