The impact of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death far exceeded Oda Nobunaga's simple imagination. This guy who had just completed the transformation from Owari fool to Owari hero had no idea what an incredible thing he had done. Suruga Imagawa, as Ashikaga
The three-hundred-year-old clan's arm, the powerful family member who guarded the gate of Kanto on the Tokaido Road, fell into the trap, and was killed by a boy from the Shiba family in Owari Kingdom by a man of official and common family background. This is simply ridiculous and unimaginable.
As a result, the shogunate lost a large helping hand. Ashikaga Yoshiteru angrily threw several high-quality celadon cups from the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't eat a mouthful of food for several days. Many ministers in the court cried bitterly because of this, just like the incident at Daningji Temple.
As painful as the loss of Ouchi Yoshitaka, without an iron rice bowl from the distant country, life will not be so easy in the future.
A successful king or a defeated bandit, no matter how wise the slain warrior is, he cannot escape the name of "stupid". The death of Yoshimoto Imagawa, like the death of Yoshitaka Ouchi, did not immediately collapse a martial arts family that has been glorious for hundreds of years, but people with a discerning eye can
Why can't we see that there is not much time left before the Imagawa family disappears into smoke?
The Imagawa family may not be as willful as Ouchi Yoshitaka, but he is only twenty-one years old. He does not experience a difficult childhood like Kira Yoshitoshi.
After years of hard work, he built up a large territory and gave birth to him with a silver spoon in his mouth. These twenty-one years have been smooth sailing.
My mother relied on the guidance of her loving father in her early life, and she has never suffered any setbacks since she was a child. Whether such a young and inexperienced supervisor can stabilize the family business is still a question. We cannot expect that he has not learned to live independently at the age of 21.
The "eldest child" is like his maternal grandfather Nobutora Takeda, who succeeded the family governor at the age of eleven, and at the age of fourteen, he raided his uncle Nobue Yukawa on a rainy night and wiped out his entire family.
The news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death quickly spread all over the world, and people from all over the country had different reactions to hearing about it. Some were sad, some were regretful, and many people were waiting to watch the show with mocking eyes, such as the Ashikaga family.
I was just watching the show. Ever since I learned the news a few days ago, the Kira family's small gatherings have not stopped. The Kira family's samurai experienced the initial shock and became excited.
Nangokang Toutou caught a glimpse of Honda's excited expression and shook his head helplessly, saying to himself that even if the Imagawa family was destroyed, I wouldn't be able to kill Mikawa for a while. He coughed and talked eloquently: "It's just like the Da Ning Temple incident.
The Uuchi family completely declined after Tao Qingxian defeated Itsukushima. After several years of lingering, the Ouchi family governor, Ouchi Yoshinaga, was finally defeated and killed himself at Shichiyama Castle in Nagato Province in May last year. The Ouchi family was destroyed!
Although there are remnants who are struggling to their death, they cannot hide the result of the complete destruction of the main family. The great inner family of the Western Kingdom is just over..."
Before Namioka Soufo could finish his words, Honda Toki interrupted impatiently: "My lord, if the Imagawa family of Suruga is defeated in this battle, the family fortune that they have worked so hard to save will definitely be destroyed. Mikawa has been the leader of my Kira family for generations.
Moreover, this country is a newly attached state to the Imagawa clan. As long as the Lord gives a hint to the family members, they will immediately raise an army to resist the Imagawa clan. This is a golden opportunity!"
Nangokang Tōfō was very well-mannered. Even if he was upstaged, he didn't get angry. He just shook his head and retorted: "That's inappropriate! It's very inappropriate! Our army's march to Vietnam has not yet ended. It's not easy to go to the main hall to go to Deyu during the Warring States Period."
It is unknown whether rashly interfering in Mikawa state affairs at this time would offend Imagawa and Oda. It would be very bad for them to attack from both sides. It should be noted that the Imagawa family is a behemoth after all, and they still have an army of 20,000 people. What can they do if they are forced to do so?
Everything is possible."
"Impossible! That Oda Danmasa is an old friend of the Lord who has known me for many years. He will never hit Mikawa Motoji of the Ashikaga family!" Honda Tokimasa became anxious when he heard this. The Mikawa samurai were thinking about it all day long.
All he wanted to do was to fight back to his hometown in a fair and just way to relieve the injustice he had endured for so many years. When he saw a few words from Namioka, he would deny it, but he didn't care much about it. He hurriedly brought out the dark history of Kira Yoshitsune's acquaintance with Oda Nobunaga, and also
He didn't care how ugly Kiragi's face looked.
"I've heard a little bit about this..." Namioka Tatebo glanced at Kiragi's slightly unhappy expression and said with a smile: "It's just that we don't know what the temperament of Oda Danmasa is. If he really doesn't care about the Lord's reputation,
, what should we do if we start to seize the land of Mikawa? We must know that people's hearts are different, so the Shimoda Nagao family still dares to attack Kasugayama Castle. Who knows that this Oda bomb is not a person with a cold nature?"
Kira Yoshitsune looked at Namioka Tōfō with some surprise. He really doubted whether this guy had the same special memory as him. He actually revealed Oda Nobunaga's cold-blooded character with one sentence, so he took advantage of the situation and lectured: "Tōfō this guy."
You are right. Yu conquered the three states not by relying on the friendship of other martial arts families, but by killing them with real swords and guns. It is a very naive move to pin the safety of the Three Rivers Country on illusory friendships... Mi
Hachiro should learn a lesson!"
"Ha! I must learn a lesson!" Honda lowered his head in depression and admitted his mistake.
Kira Yoshitoki understood his mood very well. He also wanted to go back to the familiar Yahagi River and take another look at Saijo Castle, which left him countless memories of joy and sadness. However, he had more important things to do and couldn't do it for him.
This little reverie leads to decisions that go against the development of the family business. Reason will eventually defeat emotion. This is the price of growth.
"Your Majesty, the death of Imagawa Harubu in the barrel will do more good than harm to us. The Three Kingdoms Alliance is like a three-legged giant cauldron. The death of Imagawa Harubu is equivalent to a huge crack in one of the pillars. Time
This giant cauldron will become unstable in the long run. Although the situation is currently stable and there are no bigger waves, as long as there is a small spark, it will turn into a prairie fire."
Namio Sobo's words stopped here. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he had unfinished thoughts. Honda Tokimasa quickly came to his senses and regretted that he had forgotten all about this floor. He hurriedly said: "Sobo-den"
You are right. After all, Imagawa Yusuke (Imagawa Ujima) is an inexperienced child. Even if he makes incomprehensible mistakes, he can understand it. As long as there are enough sparks, he can burn the Imagawa family into a pile of ruins.
How about asking Tojo-den to come forward and persuade me? I’m sure the Imagawa clan will believe it!”
"No! This will make Tojo-den bear the name of a sycophant for no reason, and it will not be of any benefit to the Lord! We have to think of other ways." Namioka's dining hall frowned and thought.
Listening to the two of them discussing how to plot against the Imagawa clan, Kira Yoshi smiled softly, picked up a folding fan and knocked on the table and said: "Yahachiro, the dining room. You two don't have to worry. What kind of temperament does Imagawa Yusuke have? He's already a ninja."
Report, this person is proficient in waka, renge, tea ceremony, Cuju, especially the skill of Cuju, which is highly praised by the ministers of Kyoto. In addition, he also has extraordinary talents and talents in calligraphy and flower arrangement. He loves Kyoto culture so he often visits Shunfu.
He has extraordinary accomplishments in domestic affairs and is very sensitive to business. Last year, he proposed Suruga's proposal to implement the city order, but Imagawa Administrative Department did not want to cause trouble, so he gave up."
Nangokang Toutou nodded thoughtfully: "I see...people's energy is always exhausted, and mastering the side arts will inevitably relax the training of martial arts skills. Imagawakami Yusuke is proficient in so many side arts, so the bow and horse
He must be unqualified in Taoism, he must not be proficient in military strategy, and he does not have the skills and vision of political strategy. It is very difficult to expect him not to make mistakes!"
Even if you have never met a person, as long as you know his habits and habits, you can infer his behavior to some extent. Nowadays, people with distinctive characteristics like Kawajima can guess most of them with just a little thought. Honda Tokimasa obviously understands this truth.
, so he suggested: "So, this Sosuke Imagawakami is indeed very immature! If there is any trouble in the Imagawa family, maybe Imakawa Sosuke will make a mistake while busy and cause big trouble. Why don't I wait and make it in Mikawa and Yuanjiang?"
Make some noise to scare him?"
Kira Yoshishi shook his folding fan and listened silently to the two people's plans. When they all looked at him, he said calmly: "No hurry. I have a better strategy to use. Wait a little longer."
By the beginning of next year, someone will come to ask for peace, and Yu's plan will fall on that person."
The daily government affairs piled up like a mountain, and even if I stayed at Kasugayama Castle, I could not get a moment of leisure and cultivation. I discussed strategies with two close advisors, and was asked by Hosokawa Fujitaka to solve the matter of re-definition of divisions by the leader of Ueno Junior High School. I was busy
Before Lu Lu knew it, it was getting dark outside and he was able to rush back to Kasuga Imperial Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor of Okuma, he heard the sound of crying coming from inside, and several women's voices faintly comforted him in low voices. Kira Yoshi's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly screamed, "Oh!"
Naotora's parentage had been forgotten. As the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto became known to everyone in Echigo, the news that her biological father, Ii Naomori, died in Okehama could not be concealed.
Kira Yoshi was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone. Despite all his calculations, he missed the fire in his backyard. He called out the maid who was serving him, and shouted in a low voice: "Which maid is talking nonsense and actually killed her father-in-law?"
Such fatal news was leaked to Mrs. Yu in Mingtong Hazama! If Naohu has three games and two shortcomings, I will ask you!"
The maids have never seen Kiragi look angry. The good gentleman who is usually very easy to get along with is now so angry that his eyes can spit out fire. His eyes are as sharp as knives and seem to cut them into seven pieces.
It was like eight pieces, which scared the little maids into silence and did not dare to move.
At this moment, the voice in Okuma stopped, and the paper door slowly opened, but Naotora slowly walked out. Her face was as pale as paper, and her two big eyes were as red and swollen as two small light bulbs.
Dragging his heavy body, he saluted with difficulty and said: "Your Highness, don't blame them. This matter has nothing to do with them. This news was informed by a letter from the family's generation representative. Unfortunately, my father died in Tongzhajian in the prime of life..."
As she spoke, Naotora began to cry again in a low voice. Her crying made Kiragi feel very sad. He hurriedly supported her and carefully comforted her: "In this life, misfortunes and blessings only happen in a moment. The separation between life and death is determined by fate."
Yes! There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that "there are no young or old on the road to death." My father-in-law served in the army all his life, but finally died for the loyalty of the Imagawa family. As a samurai, he died a worthy death! Now the little Ahu is pregnant with Yu's flesh and blood, including
You are half of the Ii family's blood relatives. In the future, there will always be people who will worship my father-in-law in the four seasons as the descendants of the family pass on!"
Hu Ji walked out with her eight months pregnant belly, and gently waved her hands to repel the unlucky little maids. She stepped forward, took Nao Hu's little hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "What His Highness said is absolutely true, the deceased is gone.
Living like this, Sister Naotora, as the only bloodline successor of Shinano Shrine, should hold back her grief and carry on. Now that Sister Naotora is pregnant with His Highness’s child, she should take care of her body and spirit to give birth to a healthy and lively child.
My good boy, to comfort Shinano, who is under the Nine Springs!"
Sandalwood and Yoshino also tried to comfort Naotora, who finally stopped crying. She was now freed from her sadness. She knew that she should not be too sad when she was pregnant with Kiragi's child, in case the child was harmed because of her.
If it were lost, it would not be as simple as killing a father. Maybe the mad Kiragi would go on a killing spree. In the past few months, she had learned about this husband's persistence in family affection, which made her very
move.
Naotora cried all day long and was already very sleepy. If his body and bones were not strong, he might have fainted and not wake up. At least he ate something simple and went to sleep under the service of the maids. Kira Yoshihi brought the other two
The pregnant lady was sent back, and she was busy until the second watch before she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Lying on the tatami and thinking for a moment, he murmured to himself: "Imagawa Yoshimoto died at the wrong time. I should have waited for Yu's child to be born before he died! But it made Yu's harem restless... Speaking of which,
He had many plots against Yu before he was alive, and he still wants to stir things up after his death. Is it that he wants to fight against Yu to the end?"
In addition to the news of the death of the unlucky guy Imagawa Yoshimoto, there is also some even more joyful news. A few days later, the latest battle report came from Vietchu
They sent out troops in a large scale, but unfortunately the troops were rushed out in a hurry and the preparations were seriously lagging behind. They rushed to Toyama Castle with a 40,000-strong army.
On the way, they encountered Tokiyuki Yamamoto, who was waiting in full formation. He led 15,000 people and set up a formation on Tateyama Mountain outside Fusaki Castle, ten kilometers southwest of Toyama Castle. There was a lake at the foot of Tateyama Mountain called Fujiike, and the other end of the lake was connected to the Jintsu River.
The tributary of the Ida River, the march route of Vietnam and China was blocked on the west bank by this vine pond.
If you want to advance, you have to bypass Ivy Pond and advance along the gentle mountain from the north bank, and collide with the main force of the Kira Army's Vietnam-Chinese Army, which is waiting there. Jinbo Choji is worried that it will fall into the Kira Army's trap and is unwilling to give in so easily. Victory
Xingsi Yuncheng mocked him for being too cowardly. He was obviously the most active in clamoring for revenge and taking back Xinchuan County, but in the end he shrank like a quail.
How can a man endure such atrocious humiliation? The position of a divine protector cannot be ridiculed, but he does not dare to offend the great monk Shengxing Temple Yuncheng. He can only grit his teeth and endure the anger in his chest, but does not want to be subjected to Shengxing again.
He hated the ruthless mockery of the two juniors, Si Rongrong and Ruiquan Si Zhunxuan, so much that his teeth were almost broken. He knew that if he refused to give in, he would be humiliated even more. After waiting for a long time, he finally agreed to go out in a muffled voice.
