There is no doubt that Tokugawa Ieyasu was good at forbearance, but what is more important is that he is also a person who is extremely able to create and seize opportunities. Now, although Kyoka's attitude is not explicit, it is clear that Japan's civil war is almost impossible to avoid, so
For Tokugawa Ieyasu, the part that he could be proactive in became very limited.
First of all, he knew that his time was limited, because the longer the civil war erupted, the more time Jinghua had to level the strength of the two sides in the civil war, which in turn made both sides unable to fight against Jinghua after the civil war.
It is true that Tokugawa Ieyasu can try to win over some people, but the current situation is not good. He has discovered a huge hidden danger that he cannot eliminate: Jinghua is more powerful than him to do such a thing.
In other words, with his financial resources, it is impossible to outbid Jinghua. Those who originally seemed to be able to be won over by him will definitely have this idea once they face Jinghua who offers a higher price: follow Zuofu and always be inferior to others.
; If you follow Jinghua, you may have a chance to become a world leader - as long as you defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu!
In this way, no matter how he tries to win over Tokugawa Ieyasu, I am afraid that it will be in vain in the end. Therefore, things cannot wait any longer. An excuse to provoke a war will be found in the near future and implemented without hesitation.
The second question that needs to be considered is much simpler: Who should we fight against and stir up trouble?
On the surface, the basic condition for becoming a citizen of the world is to control the emperor, but the current reality is more complicated, because in theory, the current citizen of the world should be Toyotomi Hideyori, and the emperor is actually under the control of Hideyori - although
Everyone knows that Hideyori is now a grown-up child, and the people who really control the emperor are the Toyotomi family in the broad sense, and the "seven elders and seven obedience" system in the narrow sense.
So in fact, as long as Jing Sheng can have his say in the "Seven Little Laos and Seven Followers" Gu Ming system, he will control both Hideyori and the Emperor.
In terms of status and strength, Qi Feng Xing is actually far enough to be compared with Xiao Lao, and the actual core of Qi Feng Xing, Ieyasu Ba Chengjia, was forced by Jing Sheng to go back to his own territory and lie dormant, and the remaining few Fong Xing stayed in Jing Sheng.
No matter how small the difference is from a chicken or a dog, there is nothing to worry about. The ones who really need to be taken seriously are a few young people.
Now, the "Kaga Million Stone" Goda family has given up, and the remaining eight are Kawaie Yasumoto, Shimoda Nagamori, and Sugikage Katsuhidee.
"How can he decide?"
8. Zuofu was a loyal and upright man, and Taige praised him highly after his death. Ishida was very vague. As long as he explained vaguely, he could clear up his resentment.
"What?"
"Ishida wants me to go to Kosaka as soon as possible, please wait for me to reply!" Ina Books naturally belongs to him.
That was simply an ultimatum that could be accommodated. After hearing this, insiders thought that I had forgotten everything and was completely intoxicated with my own momentum. Perhaps I wanted to give up my status as a junior. I would be submissive to Jing Sheng, which meant that as long as Jing Sheng
The good thing is, I even care about Hideyori, so there is absolutely no room for compromise.
"The reason is very close to him. Gotada Toshinaga has been scared out of his wits by Ishida. Therefore, Ishida wants to repeat Shimosugi's old tricks on you. I let him write it with a sense of luck."
No matter what, the seven of them rushed back to Kosaka after working day and night with a letter of reply to the acceptance in mind.
Jing Sheng said this after many interviews with Masuda, Nagashu, and the newly appointed new minister Xiaoyu Xi. However, neither Masuda Tori nor Nagashu Masaka could see that it was Tu Qi who was testing Shimoda Nagasaki.
After hearing those words, the seven of them secretly exchanged glances and turned their attention to little Tu Qishen for help. Of course, the seven of them were aware of Ieyasu's frequent dispatches of secret emissaries to the old Naoeyama Castle Keeper of the Hagasugi family, but we were
I know that there is no hidden giant hand like Jinghua in front of me.
"Yes, I hope that when the lord meets us, he will agree to our request gently... Please take a look at the letter that the bald donkey wrote to you first." Jianxu unfolded the letter behind Tu Qi's face and laughed loudly.
"I heard that the envoy sent by Tu Qi has arrived, what should we say?" Zuofu asked proactively.
"Will Jing Shenghui be angry because of this?"
"A bad long letter... a bad one to accept." Tu Qi read the letter indifferently. After reading it, he weighed the letter paper again, shook his head and said with a warm smile: "It took a lot of brains to actually write this letter."
"Even if he sees it that way, he must be right."
Seventh, if Hori Hideharu’s statement is correct, he should take the initiative to distinguish right from wrong later.
Since Naoe Kanetsugu plays an important role in the Shimosugi clan, Ieyasu Baucheng frequently sends secret envoys to contact him. Recently, the Shimosugi clan has also frequently sent Nagao Seiichiro, Irobe Lord Hall and other people with outstanding eloquence to Sawayama Castle. Regarding all of this,
, Jing Sheng knows everything. Therefore, letting the acceptance letter be extended to the letter is the best way to understand the current direction of the Shimosugi family.
Actually, I am not very excited. Compared with Tu Qishan, Jing Sheng pays more attention to Naoe Kanetsugu. Although Naoe Kanetsugu is a retainer of Tu Qi, due to his talent and bold temperament, when Taiko is alive, I can communicate with all the little ones.
We met by the same name. I used the name Tongkou Xinghachi and worked as a servant by Kenshin's side. When Kenshin was still alive, due to the untimely death of his favorite Naoe and Heie Nobutsuna, he married into the Naoe family.
Yohei's beautiful wife was able to inherit the Naoe family business and was given a high position. She was the only elder of the Shimosugi family. Before Lord Zuofu was transferred to Aizu, I was given another 800,000 koku and became the Lord of Yonezawa Castle.
"Yes, now that we have sent people, we must go and reprimand and question them later. This would be unkind. When I give you the order, I will tell you that there are seven rumors now, so I ask the Zuo Mansion to explain later. Do you have any objections? Not yet, add
Who does Mr. Tian want to send?"
Facing the seven envoys, Naoe Kanetsugu was animated, and just said lightly: "The Shimosugi family stayed in Kosaka without Chisaka Keiki, and the seven of them had to come all the way here." I did not open the accepted letter on the spot.
.But the seven people left for a long time, and I appeared behind Zuofu with a letter.
Of course, the troops must be sent out in a nameless manner. Dezhong Nayan does not have a deep understanding of this, so even if he has not yet decided to send out troops, he must do enough in the aftermath. If he does it badly, there will be no mistakes in the name of sending troops, and people will not be able to do so.
Got the handle.
Among them, Tu Qi Shanyuan's fiefdom amounted to 1.71 million shi, and Shimodian Changsheng's fiefdom amounted to 1.7 million shi. Those two people were weak in strength. They must have praised Jing Sheng at the same time. They were indeed small enemies.
Eighth, please ask the family elders to advise the Zuofu to withdraw from the capital as soon as possible.
People tend to be intoxicated with themselves when they are impassioned. The more intoxicated they are, the more they want to cater to the other party. After a few words, Zuofu ended more gently: "Even if he goes to Kosaka, Shimoda Nagamori will always be obedient to Ishida. Please go back."
Just convey my wishes like that."
In fact, not all the Shimosugi clan is as weak and tough as Naoe Kanetsugu. Chisaka Keichika, who stayed in Kosaka, once retreated to the Zuofu: Deliberately angering Tu Qi might bring disaster to the Shimosugi clan, so there is
Whether it's building a new city or hiring wandering warriors, it's all too arrogant...
Naoe Yamashiro's eyes shone brightly and he said confidently: "It will be right!"
"It doesn't make sense, and it should be so." Jing Sheng simply rejected Xiao Gu's suggestion. In fact, I originally thought that Tu Qi really had no betrayal towards the Toyotomi family, and I was just jealous of myself because of Jinghua's instigation.
Suspicious, or... murderous intention.
"You must be worried, little man. You have to write a long letter to make fun of the acceptance and the old fox Jing Sheng, so that I don't have to send more polite people..."
"It's funny to say that since my late father, you Shimosugi have never yielded in the face of coercion. I even forgot about that. It's really a shame."
"The messenger's oral message is probably the same as the content of the letter. You really can't let us go back, but..."
What's more, it is said that the Xiu family is too young. Even though he has served as a general in the imperial court in name, no one like Tu Qi, an old man in the world, knows that this was just the appointment made by Taige in order to let the Xiu family have seniority.
The ability to represent the Hide family was the weakest among the small army that conquered the dynasty. Therefore, Tu Qi really believed that Shan Jingsheng Hide family could do a lot.
"Is that possible?" Chengcheng asked slightly less relaxedly as he saw Tu Qi pondering what he was saying.
"You don't have the slightest intention of rebellion in your heart!" Zuofu raised his head and emphasized: "Shimoda Nagamori is so kind to Toyotomi, how can you not have the intention of betrayal? You have to accept what your Excellency said this time. What you have done
Everything is very necessary, how can an idle person make accusations? That is pure misunderstanding, or even slander! I hope Ishida will find out the slanderer first. After the truth is not known, you will go to Kosaka no matter what! That's all!
"After finishing speaking, Zuofu paused, wanting to see the envoy's reaction.
The letter was both coercive and neglected to take into account the overall situation. The words were affectionate and serious, and the words of comfort and advice were sincere and straightforward, which was really difficult to accept. Of course, once people realize that this letter is to discuss with Jing Sheng,
The effect of previous revisions will naturally be reduced. Therefore, the acceptance has been corrected several times.
"Before Shimosugi Toyokoji returned to the temple, there were no rumors that I had not betrayed my heart. I think all of you villains have not heard of it either. It seems that it is enough to send out troops to conquer."
"The worst is too bad. You have just moved to a new territory, and all you can do is scold them. What a pity!"
Inai Shu and the chief guard of Kawamura went to the small hall of the city to meet with Tu Qi. I preached Jingsheng's oral edict in a low voice: "I heard that the Shimosugi family has made preparations for a decisive battle, which has caused a lot of discussion in the world. What is the reason?
It is really regrettable that you have betrayed Taige. How dare you ignore Taige's instructions? I hope you will change your original intention and join Kosaka as soon as possible."
"Let Inai Shu and Kawamura Nagato go with the letter of acceptance from the elders... That's it." Masumao Rihui said.
Zuo Fu narrowed his eyes and listened happily.
In reality, although Tu Qi had already understood that 80% of the time he wanted to fight with him to the end, he never expected that Shimoda Nagamori would dare to be so polite. After all, according to Jing Sheng's estimation, the contact time between Jinghua and the Shimosugi family should be too long.
, it seems that the help given to the Shimosugi family should be too small.
Inai Shu glanced slowly at Kawamura Nagato Shou. I guess that Tu Qi's reply was not expected by Kawamura Nagato Shou, who had stayed at a relative's house for a night. Sure enough, Nagato lowered his head and calmly avoided Shu Shu's sight.
It seems that everyone in the Xiashan family knows that the Zuofu has compromised with Tu Qi. The book then said: "I am very vague about the meaning of Fengguang Temple. Before I go back, I will truthfully convey the villain's meaning to Tu Qi."
Qi."
"You are all ears."
There are only seven of eight hundred thousand stone retainers in the world, which shows how much Tu Qishan valued them.
"A smart person like Ishida still wants to play stupid tricks like that to bluff people? He is really from his hometown."
"If there is no young leader, I'm sure you can still use the administration to seize the sky."
It is true that the Ming army in North Korea was not mobilized, but this was because of the transfer of Nanzhen and other matters. Of course, the military strength was not mobilized, but it had nothing to do with the continued conquest of Japan. This was something that Jing Sheng was very good at, because it was simply a low-level policy.
What pragmatically wants to do, and the North Korean Ming army is definitely likely to follow the will of that "Xiao Ming Guan Bai".
That night, the seven of them talked and laughed for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving. Zuofu received the envoy at six o'clock the next day.
"Yes. If I still slowly withdraw from the capital, I really should send out troops."
Thanks to book friends "Book Friends" and "Flexbio" for their support of 10 monthly tickets each, thank you!
Thanks to book friend "Cao Mianzi" for your reward and support, thank you!
Inai Shu was very confused. After listening to Tu Qi's words, the content of Naoe Kanetsugi's letter was hard to imagine. Even if Kanatsuki apologized for the host's politeness in his reply to the acceptance, it could be said that the Shimosugi family was not hostile.
.
After the envoy finished his oral message, Zuofu asked with a smile: "Is that all?"
"The administration is just trying to trick you... It's okay to live this way. But, Ishida asked Acceptance to write such a letter. What do I mean?"
Jing Sheng nodded: "The writing is confusing, but it shows his intention. It's really strange. Has the young master already seen through Jing Sheng's mind?"
In this way, the scope of the target was further reduced, and only the seven people of Tu Qi Shanyuan and Shimoda Changsheng were left. In fact, there was almost nothing bad at that point: Tu Qi Shanyuan's territory was far away from Jingsheng,
And Shimoda Nagamori's territory is right next to the couch - besides, Hideyoshi arranged for me to come there, and the task was not to keep an eye on Tu Qi. So, who should Shimoda Nagamori hit?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your territory has not been fully prepared yet."
"It depends on how I reply." Xiaoyu Kita also said.
"That is very similar to the news sent by Ieyasu Ieyasu and Mr. Masudazaemon."
"Let Inai Books and Changsheng's retainers go and investigate. What do you think?"
7. Tu Qi did not delve into the matter of Kaga Goda. Do you know if this can be used as a lesson? This matter can be discussed with Masuda, Otani, Kanbara and others.
There is no secret exchange between Ieyasu Baucheng and Naoeyama Castle, and Kagekatsu is very vague, but is Masuma Toshiki also involved in this matter? Who are the people behind us who have accepted Kyouka's support? In any case, let Ina Books be By quietly monitoring the gatekeeper of Hecun Village, the truth will naturally come to light.
Comparatively speaking, Hideie Sugi Kagekatsu is of great importance to Kagekatsu. Although he is officially one of the Seven Elders, my territory is over Bingo 710,000 koku, or is it like Shimazu? The family's strength is weak.
Acceptance was called back to Kosaka from the capital. Jing Sheng sent everyone there and had a secret conversation with me alone for two years. Then he locked me in a study and asked me to write a continuation for Naoe Kane. Long letter.
"Bao, besides this, you have something to say. We have worked hard to come all the way. In the mountain city, Baosheng treated us well and then sent us back."
It was already the first day of July when Inai Shu Akitsuna and Masuma Toshiki's retainer Kawamura Nagatomomo set off from Kosaka with the letter of acceptance. On the surface, Kawamura Nagatomo had no relatives in the Shimosugi family, so it was easier to find out the truth. That was when I was called The reason for choosing to be an envoy. But the reality is far more complicated.
"Has he already figured this out? Let's hear it."
"What are you worried about, my lord?" Kansugu smiled.
The seven people left Kosaka, traveled day and night, and arrived in Aizu on July 18. After meeting Shimoda Nagamori, the seven people were received by Naoeyama Castle Keeper Kanetsubo, and took the opportunity to hand over the letter to Katsuki.
"Let me go and have a look. Here, Gu Jiyidui and Shancheng Shou are close friends. How about you let me write a letter to Shancheng Shou? In that way, the truth will be revealed to the sky." Jing Sheng waited. After Tian finished speaking, he didn't answer very strictly.
Kansu answered boldly and with a smile: "My lord, did you ask the question knowingly? Yes, you must take it easy."
Tu Qi and his confidants had been carefully observing Masuma Tori. Behind Kage Sheng, Chang Sheng was full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and I seemed to be secretly in contact with Ba Cheng, Sugi Kage Katsu Hideie, Onishi Yukinaga and others. If you ask me why I did that, I will always answer: "For Ishida and Tajun, you must understand our movements."
"Haha," Kanatsu smiled disdainfully again, "What my lord just said is exactly the same as what the villain in charge of the administration said to incite you."
Thanks to book friends for "first login", "KIKI Kai", "milan123", "You are Liao Zhenxin", "doni", "the chic pig", "o Shangshu Ling", "riding alone to illuminate Bixin", "2736" Monthly ticket support, thank you!
"...This communication is not a sentimental request. Tu Qishan's withdrawal from Beijing has been delayed to this day. Ishida has a lot of doubts, and there are no rumors between the government and the public, so there is no such thing as sending an envoy. The details are not spoken by the envoy, so there is no need here. Needless to say. However, the poor monk was a close friend of the benefactor as a young man, so he dared not hide his concerns. If Tu Qi was good at keeping secrets and thought poorly, the benefactor should also bravely state his opinion to clear up Ishida's suspicion..."
"So Master, are you planning to see us?"
The really useless content of that letter is as follows:
"I ask the villain to rebuke the messenger severely tomorrow and drive him out. No matter how much the villain goes too far, Tu Qi will definitely dare to send troops."
As we all know, when we were in the capital, the elder Guiyoshi, the successor of the Shangda Temple of Xiangguo Temple, had a close relationship with the old Naoeyama Castle Keeper of the Shimosugi family, so no one had any objections.
7. If Zuofu has any objections, he can explain it later with an oath. Have you given any thought to this matter?
----------
"My lord, whatever you do, you must make a prompt decision." Naoeyama Castle Shou smiled again: "If my lord can resolutely scold the Tu Qi messenger tomorrow, you will only lose face, and other troubles will follow. You will rule Kanto for generations.
, Duke Qianxin’s bravery is unknown in the sky. If such a famous family also begs for mercy from Jingsheng, will it make the people in heaven laugh? And tomorrow is the perfect opportunity to show the majesty of Xia Shan to the sky. "
"If being angry can bring harm, everyone will get angry. But being angry will only bring benefits to me, so I will get angry easily. But you want to take this opportunity to scold us badly, don't
To be humiliated by others.”
"So, you still have to see us tomorrow?"
Shimoda Nagamori does not have the keen insight of his father Kenshin, but he has been influenced by his family tradition for a long time, and his actions are full of murderous intent. Rather than being generous, I would rather say that I am too conceited.
"Perhaps I am indecisive by nature, and even I can't be sure. Hum, it must be like that. I am a person who can do small things." When Inai Books set out, Jing Sheng only said this sentence. But based on that sentence,
Books tell me how to do it, I'm a fool.
"There is no modesty and generous legacy of humanity. I am really ashamed of my daughter..." Naoeyama Castle Shogun Kanetsu, who was highly praised by the Taiko at that time, never had the same stubbornness as Ieyasu. When I was young, I had a close relationship with Nobunaga.
Ranmaru, Nagoya Yamahachi of the clan is also known as the eight handsome girls. Today, I am already over 10 years old and have experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
"Haha, I heard that I also gave birth to a son with Mrs. Agui."
1. If the construction of a new city in Shenzhiyuan is not a response but a test, is it unnecessary?
"Do you know if this is the place that suits my lord's taste?"
Tu Qi finished reading in silence and rolled up the letter. The contents of the letter were neither true nor false. For example, the so-called Ming army in Korea had made changes and Japan might continue to send troops to fight. This was not obvious nonsense.
Fourth, the rise and fall of the Shimosugi family depended on this, please think about it...
Since it was already evening when he arrived in Aizu, Ina wrote: "I will convey Tu Qishan's oral instructions to Tu Qishen tomorrow, and please report it to Toyokoji Temple in advance." Then, he and Kawamura Changmonshou left the residence of the Yamashiro shou.
The chief guard of Hecun went to a relative's house to rest, while Inatuwei stayed at the Guanyi in the city for the night.

"That's right. That was Jingsheng's first opportunity to give Toyoguji Temple. The junior master's letter was quite clear. He was enjoying a fortune of 1.7 million dan, but when he saw that a war was about to break out in the sea, he rushed over immediately.
, I am even worthy of 700,000 to 800,000 stones! If the salary you receive matches the amount of equipment, it will bring disaster to the world."
"You understand. Just do as he says."
"Yes...ah, yes, yes, yes."
Kansu's expression was stiff, but he gave a salute willingly, "There is no reply from Yamashiro. I hope that the seven of you can pass it on to Abbot Gu Jiji on your behalf... Thank you, seven of you." Before Yamashiro could finish his words, Tu Qi had already left with a puff of his sleeves.
go.
"It's just a matter of caution. If the administration is stupider or duller, things will be even more boring... It's different than that. There is only one thing that needs to be done in my lord's eyes." Kansu said while playing with the letter in his hand.
In my eyes, Jingsheng is not so terrible. As long as Ba Cheng and Chang Sheng and others do not pass the news to me, Jingsheng is not a soft persimmon worth mentioning.
"Then... the chief shou of Kawamura has no acquaintance with the shou of Toyokoji Temple and Naoeyama Castle, so why not..."
Acceptance took great pains to finish writing the letter and presented it to Tu Qi. I thought that was probably the last hint of tenderness that Jing Sheng showed to the Hasugi family. It was to make Jing Sheng better than me, so that I could feel at ease.
The light outside the candlestick dimmed, and Jianxu stretched out his hand to pluck the wick of the lamp while continuing to brag to Zuofu. People who make small talk are often stupid, but when those words spewed out of Jianxu's mouth, they seemed to carry a solemn expression.
The taste is incredible. Perhaps because of my eloquence, I was not only praised for my speech, but also received a generous salary.
Tu Qi smiled: "Making prompt decisions is an indispensable magic weapon for those who control the sky. From this, the capabilities of Fengguang Temple and Kantsutsu can be seen at a glance."
Masuma Torihui breathed a sigh of relief and moved back. Although Inai Shu was Jing Sheng's confidant, there would definitely be a problem if he allowed his retainers to follow him, so he nodded and asked: "Do you want to bring it with you?"
Will Ishida and you wait for the signed letter of questioning?"
Veteran minister Fujita Noto and others who went to Kosaka Castle to congratulate Toyotomi Hideyori on the New Year also remonstrated: "Being weak to Kagekatsu will sooner or later ruin the Shimosugi family's strength. I was so angry that I returned to Aizu. But because
Zuofu did not show any favor to Jiexu, and only obeyed my advice, and turned a deaf ear to other people's opinions.
Jing Sheng nodded animatedly.
However, it is obvious that this is my way of protecting my own safety. Once something small happens, it is really difficult to judge which side I will stand on.
"He means……"
"Can he tell?" Tu Qi had no doubts.
First, there are widespread rumors in both the government and the public that Aizu's armaments are abnormal. It is said that the Ming army in North Korea is also weakening its war preparations, and Tu Qi has sent an envoy to North Korea. If the Ming army is willing to compromise and wants to continue the war, Japan will be in trouble in the next year or
The army was dispatched to North Korea the year before last. Tu Qi wanted to discuss the matter with the Zuo Mansion, so he requested to withdraw from Beijing as soon as possible.
"Jing Sheng would be so stupid! Once the attack on Aizu is carried out, the capital will naturally be enriched. How could a villain in the administration miss such an opportunity? Tu Qi would have thought of that."
Xiaoyu Xita is scheming, and his vision is far less than that of Zeng Mao Lihui and Chang Shu Zhengxiang. I immediately said: "Even so, do you think that the villain of Fengguang Temple has fallen to the point of forgetting Taige's small kindness and betraying Duo Jun?"
At this stage, whether the rumors in the world are true or false, in the opinion of the superiors, it is better to send envoys to investigate later, so that they can be justified."
Had Tu Qi already anticipated Shimoda Changsheng's reaction?
Therefore, before Keicho completed his test on Goda Toshinaga in the seventh year, Keisheng ended the test of Goda Nagamori.
"You are writing a letter to Ishida... If you don't have anything to say, he will listen."
