Chapter 35: Uchiha and the Daimyo
That night, General Huo Huomu made up his mind.
Dozens of messengers riding fast horses rushed out from the general's mansion and carried the order of Huo Huomu to the three Guards regiments stationed in the city to guard the capital. When the messengers arrived at the camp, they found the soldiers here.
Already dressed neatly, they were waiting for General Huo Huo Mu's orders under the leadership of the palm seal officer.
When the messenger dismounted to convey the order, the commander was extremely excited. They had already realized when they saw the fire at the location of the Takagi clan that a big event might happen tonight, and at that time General Huo Huo Mu
There will inevitably be orders given to the barracks stationed in the capital to guard the city, so the commander can make preparations in advance.
As for when the commander became loyal to Huo Huo Mu? To be precise, the three barracks guarding the capital were arranged by Huo Huo Mu from the very beginning. To treat these commanders and subordinate soldiers, Huo Huo Mu gave the soldiers property and
In the wasteland, the mid-level officers were promised to leave their citizenship and become nobility, while the high-ranking officers were all from close associates and clansmen of the general's palace.
Out of the desire for property and land, the soldiers, and the mid-level officers out of a higher level of greed, turned their backs on the daimyo and chose to be loyal to Huohuomu.
As a result, the General's Mansion firmly controlled the military strength of the entire royal capital from top to bottom.
The chance to break away from your citizenship and become a nobleman and reach the sky in one step is today!
"All troops set out!"
Things like this are also happening in the other two barracks in the capital. The capital, which has been silent for a long time, has been involved in complex political struggles for nearly seven years, and finally it will be decided today.
After tonight, the Daming Mansion will still be the same Daming Mansion, but the new name will be General Huo Huo Mu!
The defection of the Guards regiment guarding the capital caused a chain reaction. They blocked the streets and all entrances and exits to the city. At the same time, the three armies gathered in the middle and surrounded Daming Mansion. Bloody conflicts quickly broke out with the defenders in Daming Mansion.
Within a few hours, with the cooperation of traitors, three of Daming Mansion's four city gates fell.
However, the daimyo's mind moved quickly enough. He realized something was wrong when he saw the Takagi family on fire. He knew in his heart that the three guards regiments in the city were all from the Shogun's Palace. He discovered it early but couldn't do anything about it.
Just to stop it. But at this time, relying on soldiers was no longer enough. The first thing the daimyo thought of was the Konoha ninjas.
If he can get help from Konoha, then he still has a chance to save his life, and maybe even make a comeback. And even in the worst case, he can escape to Konoha Village under the cover of Konoha ninja, or in other words
There is this opportunity to run away. But as for whether he can run away, to be honest, the Daimyo has no confidence in his heart.
The betrayal of the Twelve Guardian Ninja made the Daimyo feel cold in his heart. On the one hand, he was afraid of the energy of the Shogunate, and on the other hand, he was worried about the reliability of Konoha. He was really afraid that they would betray him like the Twelve Guardian Ninja, and that would be a lot of fun.
Yeah.
However, the daimyo feels that he is still relatively useful to Konoha Village. At least he is much better than the hard-line general Huo Huomu who always wants to interfere in Konoha's internal affairs. In short, find the person first and make it clear. Is it possible to move people with heavy profits?
possible.
So long before the three regiments rebelled and attacked the city, the daimyo sent people to find Kuroizumi and Iemon.
※※※※※
Inside the Daming Mansion.
"You two, you must help me and the Fire Country! If General Huohuomu rebels, he will definitely kill me. When he ascends the throne of the daimyo, he will not let go of the Leaf Village and you.
, will definitely try his best to interfere with Konoha and finally achieve the goal of controlling the Ninja Village and becoming his vassal."
"But it will be different if Konoha protects me. I need money for money and name for name. As long as Konoha Village protects my daimyo position, we can still cooperate happily. Compared with the authoritarianism of Huo Huomu who came to power.
You guys are in trouble in Konoha, why don’t you choose me, the pro-Konoha faction?”
Although this big name has a sad face and a desperate look, he is very clear-minded and tries his best to win over and prove his worth in terms of conversation. Moreover, what he says does make sense. Compared with the hard-line Huo Huomu, he is more approachable and approachable.
The name of the faction is more attractive to Konoha.
The most important thing is that he completely relies on the Leaf Village and doesn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
The daimyo sincerely vowed to cooperate well with Konoha. To be honest, he could really feel that Kuroizumi and Iemon wanted to run away. It could be seen from their eyes and expressions that Konoha or Uchi
Bo was in no mood to get involved in the affair between him and the General's Mansion, but how could he let the Konoha ninjas go? Once they left, his whole family would definitely be wiped out.
The daimyo knew in his heart that his uncle was cruel and tolerant. When his father became daimyo, he was resented by this uncle. After his father's death, the uncle wanted to usurp the throne, but Konoha disrupted the situation and tolerated it.
After 15 years, Konoha is also weakening now, and he will definitely not give up so easily.
I pity my virtuous and capable wife, and my two lovely twins who are not yet 10 years old. Are they going to be buried in this capital? The more the daimyo thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the sadder he felt. Later, he couldn't help but shed tears of disappointment.
tears.
I hate that my father believed in his brother too much and entrusted him with important responsibilities but didn't know when to stop. When he wanted to take it back, he realized that he had already grown big. What's even more troublesome is that Konoha Village and the Sandaime, the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world, actually
He collapsed overnight, catching him off guard. All the foreshadowing for the General's Mansion had gone to waste.
A daimyo who has lost the support of the Leaf Village is like a toothless thing. Facing the heavily armed shogunate, even if he is full of calculations, he can't stand up to the reality of being cut with a sword. Damn it, the third generation, you
But you've screwed me up! You can't just delay your downfall for a few more years. If you delay for a few more years, I'll be able to close the trap I've laid out. Why do you have to end up where you are now?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Thinking of the tragedy in the depths and the future, the daimyo actually sat on the ground and cried, cursing and swearing, which was obviously too much grief and anger.
This rather embarrassing scene in front of him made Heiquan feel a little funny.
But after laughing for some reason, Kuroizumi suddenly remembered the Uchiha before Xia Nan appeared. Every time at the beginning of a family meeting, although the clan members did not cry as weakly as this big name, everyone also looked sad.
exhibition, the entire venue was immersed in a sense of low-pressure despair.
Despair, but this big name can still grasp the straw of Uchiha and Konoha. The poor Uchiha were really miserable. If Xia Nan had not been born, I guess this would have been the grave of all of them.
It's grown. Huh? No, I guess there aren't even graves. The whole family's corpses have to be pulled down to their roots and harmed by that bastard Danzo.
"emon, what should we do?"
"..."
Youemon was also quite confused at this time. According to the original plan, they should turn around and leave immediately. Anyway, Konoha Village is far away from the mountains and rivers, and his capital is in flames. It takes seven days for ninjas to travel from Konoha Village to the capital in a straight line. Even if Huohuomu wants to
Looking for trouble, his army of tens of thousands hadn't even gone three hundred miles when all the Konoha ninjas were killed on the way.
Therefore, the firewood poses little threat to the military of Konoha Village. It is also because of this that Eemon and Kuroizumi are too lazy to take care of this nonsense. The blood of the Uchiha tribe cannot be shed for this group of people.
But now the situation has changed. What this daimyo said is a bit interesting. It is indeed better to have a pro-Konoha puppet daimyo that is more in line with the interests of Konoha Village than to let Huo Huomu come to power. The rest doesn't matter, the key is this daimyo's knowledge.
Current affairs, a few words can make your attitude clear!
