On May 22, the messengers on the front line brought the news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's death back to the Shin Mansion after a long journey. While the messengers of the Asahina Imakawa and the Okabe Imakawa Yoshimoto brought the news one after another, they also accused each other of being a traitor who was plotting to murder Imakawa Yoshimoto and asked the Junfu Castle to send troops to fight against rebellion. The messengers of the Okabe family even sent Imakawa Yoshimoto's last order, pointing out that the ones who stayed in Naruto Castle at that time were Yu Qiuhei and Asahina Taicho.
This explosion-like news instantly made the entire Junfu City panic - not long ago, this news also paniced Yanma City and Kuichuan City.
Before going to the expedition, the army was defeated in front of Ohara's Tubozi. And the Imakawa Yoshimoto, the Imakawa family's prestigious governor, also died in the middle of the Budsan.
Three days have passed since the incident. Everyone was blinded by what had happened in the front line during this period. The messenger of the Asahina family mentioned in the letter that in order to avoid disputes, the Imakawa family's direct troops had already returned with the Imakawa family's fleet and were still wandering on the sea. The two main forces stationed on the front line are now seriously opposed and may have even fought. The traffic routes on the road were also in chaos due to the impact of Imakawa Yoshimoto's death. Many stations had sent all messengers to inform the city of this news before they received the order to block the news later - so that the messengers on the front line sometimes could not even find a replacement horse.
When Imakawa Yoshimoto went to war, he took away almost all the mobile troops. Now the war soldiers that Junfucheng can mobilize are only 1 ooo people. Once the news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's death spread, the territory will undoubtedly fall into unprecedented turmoil. Whether it is to stop the Okabe family or the Asahina family, or to pacify the powerful families who may have raised the rebellious flag after Imakawa Yoshimoto's death, or even guard against the alliance with ulterior motives, Junfucheng cannot provide a reliable and powerful army.
Over the years, the prosperity of the Imagawa family has been largely maintained by the outstanding talents and personal charm of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Now that Imagawa Yoshimoto died, the Imagawa family suddenly lost its backbone and did not know where to go in the future. The local tyrants who were originally afraid of Imagawa Yoshimoto's talents became active, while the loyal samurai of the Imagawa family were extremely sad and confused and did not know how to stabilize the situation. What's more serious is that the heirs of the Imagawa family have not yet been determined. The entire Imagawa family's lord was in a storm.
However, at this moment, a woman who had not been concerned about political affairs for a long time stood up. She was the biological mother of Imakawa Yoshimoto and the wife of the Imakawa family - the famous female prime minister Shoukaini.
Just the moment this elderly and thin figure appeared at the Junfucheng assessment meeting with the help of two maids, it played an incredible role in calming people's hearts. The old warriors, who were originally in panic, stopped meaningless quarrels and crying, and all turned their expectations and trust to Shouguini. In an instant, confidence and loyalty all returned to the bodies of these retainers. They were waiting for orders countless times in the past.
Because they knew that the woman in front of them had twice supported the family governor in critical moments to stabilize the overall situation. They also knew that after the death of Imakawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuezhai, no one in the Imakawa family could surpass her political skills. Everyone understood that under the purple cassock, there was unparalleled wisdom and determination hidden.
Everyone was surprised to find that the weather-beaten woman did not show any sad expression after learning that her son died, and her expression was calm and kind as always. This was completely different from the Imakawa clan who cried like a tearful person.
On the afternoon of May 22, Shouguini announced in Junfu Castle that the Imakawa family will succeed as the governor. All the Imakawa family members in Junfu Castle agreed. The crown prince immediately established the matter and immediately calmed down the opposition who was ready to move. The rumors that were originally circulated in the territory of Toru River, such as "The Second Hanakura Rebellion is about to break out" and "The Imakawa family generals fought for the belonging of the family governor" were self-defeating.
At the same time, Shouguini immediately sent a messenger, with her own handwritten letter, and ordered the Imakawa family troops in Suruga Country to gather at Junfu Castle immediately and put them under her unified control. At the same time, the hostages of the wealthy families in Junfu Castle were immediately invited by her to Junfu Castle Tianshou Pavilion.
In the afternoon, Shoukaini immediately sent an envoy to report the demise to the Takeda family and the Hojo family at the same time. Anyway, the news could not be concealed, and asked the two companies for a statement that they needed to stabilize the territory. Hojo Shin-chan said on the spot that he would continue to support the Imakawa family as always. Takeda Shingen proposed more earnestly that he would send troops to help the Imakawa family stabilize the situation, but Shoukaini's envoy politely declined.
A series of operations that stabilize people's hearts calmed down the inner lord. Although the impact of Imakawa Yoshimoto's accidental death was still there, everyone also understood that the rule of the Imakawa family would never end.
However, what puzzled everyone was that Shouguini had not interfered with the situation on the front line for a long time. Even if the subsequent information had been reported, the Okabe family and the Asahina family had already started a civil war in Mikawa. However, Shouguini made excuses on the far-fetched reason that "the master family should not interfere with the struggle between retainers" and did not express any opinion on the issue of "who is the traitor who killed Imakawa Yoshimoto."
May 24, Ejiri Nishi.
Imakawa Kaede's face was slightly better on the couch, but there was still no trace of blood.
"Princess, Lord Hiroyama has already made it as you told me." A maid who had been following Imakawa Kaede came back to report, "You should take medicine quickly, too."
The day before yesterday, the doctor who was invited by the maids to cry and almost fainted, prescribed several medicines to relieve the fetus, and repeatedly told her not to be too sentimental - but how easy is this? Her mother had already left, and her father who loved her also left herself. She lost her relatives again, and felt such unforgettable pain again.
When I think of my father who was smiling at my grandson more than ten days ago, I will never stop crying. Who would have thought that it would be the last side between father and daughter.
I always thought that I blamed my father for my mother's sake and hated him in my heart. It was not until not long ago that I gradually understood my father's difficulties. I had not said "love him" to him, I had not served my father well like a daughter, and I had not brought Ping to have a meal together. Daddy was no longer there.
The only relative she left in time was Yu Qiuhei, who was still in the Mikawa Noi War. The last message clearly stated that Yu Qiuhei and Asahida were ambushed by the Okabe family - an extremely dangerous and dangerous attack on Hashi.
That was her last support. If he was not around, Imakawa Kaede really didn't know how to survive.
Didn’t you promised me that I would definitely return safely with my dad…How did Daddy…
Ping...didn't you always say what you do? You are a liar who is lying to me.
Waiting for you to come back... I will never let you go.
Waiting for you to come back... I must make you apologize before Dad's spirit.
Waiting for you to come back... I must...
Waiting for you to come back.
On May 27, within Sanhe.
The confrontation between the two armies has lasted for several days, and neither side has taken any initiative.
Both sides have a lot of food and food, and there is no problem of food shortage. After Naoe Takahei arrived, Shirika Castle also stabilized its defense. The family of Takahei's family was transferred to Anxiang Castle, and the footballers of Bihai County were also summoned by Naoe Takahei to defend in Shirika Castle. Now, the troops of the Hokkaichi Ichika Castle of the Okabe family from the west, northeast and east. It is not entirely true that it is said that it is a siege - because no matter whether the Okabe's group intends to break out there, the Asahi Ichi Ichi will definitely not stop it - the latter was thinking about how to join forces.
Three days ago, news came that Shouguini supported the Imakawa clan Masa ascended the throne - this was something that everyone expected; Shouguini immediately set out to stabilize the hearts of the people in their throne - this was something that everyone expected; Shouguini did not stand directly on either side and designated the other side as a rebellion - this was still something that everyone expected. To everyone's surprise, neither the new Imakawa clan Masa or Shouguini, did not send an envoy to the front line. No matter what, when the two ministers of our family brought more than half of their family's power to the civil war, the family governor should send someone to mediate and persuade!
In fact, the war between the two armies was originally an accident. Asahina Taisho had no intention of going to war with the Okabe family directly, but he only planned to prepare for war out of his "prevention" mentality. Who would have thought that Asahina Taihyung saw Okabe Masatotsune and rushed up to fight without saying a word, and the two families then started a conflict of force.
Although Asahina Taisho felt that since Okabe Motonobu killed the family governor, he must have wanted to use ambush to kill him and take over the power of the family. However, when the Imakawa family's direct troops were still in strength, the continuous attacks on his colleagues could easily arouse suspicion, which made the Imakawa family feel that the Okabe family was the traitor who was eager to jump over the wall, and ordered the rebellion. Therefore, both the Asahina family and the Okabe family maintained restraint after the initial duel and did not continue to use force. Instead, they kept sending envoys to accuse the other party of the traitor, waiting for the ruling of Junfu Castle; on the other hand, they were preparing for war and continued to confront each other.
Therefore, after the news of the Imakawa clan's succession, Taisho of Asahina breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the mediator of the Imakawa family would arrive soon, and the Asahina family, who was upright and not afraid of shadows, would firmly support all the decisions of the main family. If the Okabe family also obeyed the truce, then after the investigation was revealed, the Okabe family's conspiracy would naturally be exposed. If the Okabe family still wanted to start a war on the grounds that the Yuqiu family was a traitor, its own attitude would arouse suspicion. In any case, the Asahina family was already invincible.
