Chapter 2129 General Baikui ([-]) Ieyasu's Shock
Coincidentally, when Meng Gu Zhezhe euphemistically proposed to Gao Yushi that Ye Hebu wanted to expand his influence in the direction of Japan, the recent situation in Japan did undergo a lot of changes.Of course, the main changes occurred after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's funeral.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's funeral was successfully concluded this year—that is, in February of the fourth year of Keicho, Japan.As former Guanbai, Hideyoshi was awarded the title of "Toyokuni Daimyojin, Cathay Yushoinden Yunshan Junlong".Both good and bad have gone with him, and Japan ushered in another spring day full of cherry blossoms.

After seven years of war it seemed to be over, Maeda Toshiie and Tokugawa Ieyasu shook hands and the funeral was held smoothly.Therefore, in this spring, people can enjoy the flowers leisurely and pray for peace in the world.However, have the troubles facing Japan and the grievances between the big shots really subsided?

The residence of President Konishi Settsumori was built on an open highland on the left bank of the Yodo River, with the residences of Ishida Mitsunari and Maeda Toshiie on both sides.On this day, two boats from Yodoya's family came to enjoy the flowers moored on the river bank.On the surface, President Xiaonishi invited wealthy merchants to enjoy the flowers, but the people who got off the boat were not merchants.

The first ones to come down were Mori Terumoto and Zi Kita Hideka, the two elders, followed by Nagatsu Masaka, Masuda Changmori and Maeda Genichi who were dressed in micro-clothes.Under the guidance of Konishi's old Nanjo Xuanzhai and Konishi Hayato, the five quickly disappeared into the Shenzhai compound.

It was March [-]th, just after Si time.In the secluded Xiaoxi Mansion, the owner, Mr. Konishi, who was dressed in casual clothes, and Ishida Mitsunari, who came first, were welcoming the arrival of five people.

The gentle breeze brings warmth, and there are faint clouds floating in the sky. Against the background of this bright spring, the more than 20 double cherry trees planted by the river bank and wall are more colorful.

"It was transplanted from my hometown in the mountain city, and soon the Ditang flowers will bloom..." the president walked to the front porch while greeting the guests, and welcomed the guests in.

Meals have been carefully prepared indoors, and the cherry blossoms outside are half in bloom, just like competing for beauty. It is an excellent time to enjoy the flowers.However, the guests turned a blind eye to such a beautiful scenery.

"Master Asano still hasn't come." As soon as he was seated, Sancheng said, "It is said that he is sick, but he sent someone to inquire, and he actually went to Lord Maeda's residence."

"Well, so it's for the Zuofu." Ukita Hideka said unhappily, and glanced at Mori Terumoto, who was sitting in the seat, but Terumoto didn't say a word.

Xiujia had no choice but to turn his gaze to Sancheng, and asked, "The boat from Zuofu has left Fushimi, right?"

"Exactly. I'm on the same boat as Hosokawa Yusaitotaka, going down the current."

"Youzhai? So Zhongxing is also on the same boat?" Sancheng smiled and shook his head, and said: "Zhongxing has already gone to the Maeda Mansion in advance. He let his father Youzhai be on the same boat this time. I am afraid that he wanted to avoid suspicion and wanted to use his father as his father. quality."

"Then, where is Zuofu staying tonight?"

"At Fujitang Gaohu's residence." Sancheng replied.

Chief Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Live in the Fujitang Mansion? It seems that the Zuo Mansion is exhausted. He lives there, which means that there must not be many entourages. If we surround the Fujitang Mansion, we will set a fire..."

This seemed like an attractive proposition, but unfortunately no one went along with it.

Sancheng was calmly pondering the president's thoughts.After Ieyasu went to Maeda Mansion to visit Toshie's condition, he would stay overnight in Todo Takatora Mansion, so he could take the opportunity to surround the Todo Mansion and set fire to Ieyasu's death.

Although President Xiaoxi spoke casually, he could clearly see his thoughts.Sancheng believes that no matter what the purpose of Konishi Governor's words is, there seems to be no doubt that he hates Ieyasu and is hostile to Ieyasu.

But now no one echoes, why?Could it be that among the people gathered here, some people are afraid of Ieyasu, or do they have a heart for Ieyasu?Or do you think it's not that simple, or do you think it won't help at all?
From the very beginning, Sancheng could see his concerns in the eyes of the silent Mori Terumoto.The Mori family suffered heavy losses during the last period of their withdrawal from North Korea, so Huiyuan is now focused on remediating the territory, but he is worried that he will be resented by [-]% and turn him into an enemy, so he is ambiguous and keeps silent.

What Sancheng thinks is that Maeda Toshiie's death should now be certain.Since it is no longer possible for the Toshi family to show off their prestige, another person must be selected from among the elders to replace him in the government. The best candidate is of course Terumoto Mori.

Three costs hope that there will be one person who can attend the meeting today, and this person is Uesugi Jingsheng.However, Uesugi Kagekatsu had just been transferred from Echigo to Aizu, replacing the Kamo family, and had many miscellaneous things, so he didn't want to deal with it.Therefore, Sancheng hoped that Uesugi would send his old Naoe Yamashiro to guard him.

When Taiko was alive, Yamashiro was the accompanying minister of the Uesugi family, and he was deeply trusted by Uesugi.Unexpectedly, the guard of the mountain city failed to come because the lord had a cold.Sancheng was very worried about this, especially if he said this at the banquet, he might disturb other people, so he could only say nothing about it.

As for the Ukita Hide family, it is not difficult to judge from his initial words that he is of one mind with Sancheng, which also makes Sancheng feel at ease.

As for the Five Obligations, the one who is most likely to side with Ieyasu is Asano Nagamasa who is not present today.

三成在心里冷静地计算着己方的实力：石田三成25万石(佐和山)；增田长盛20万石(大和郡山)；长束正家六万石(近江水口)；前田玄以五万石(丹波龟山)；小西行长18万石(肥后宇土)；宇喜多秀家48万石(因山)，合计120二万石。

Adding in the more than 200 million shi of the Mori clan of Kobayakawa, Yoshikawa, etc., their own strength is on par with Ieyasu, and if the 120 million shi of Sugi Kagekatsu is added, it will be even more sure of victory.

If these people are united to fight against Ieyasu, those who have turned to Ieyasu before will panic and return to the old grace of Taige, which will definitely shake Ieyasu's foundation.This is the calculation of [-]%.Only by sacrificing life and forgetting death can we gain a foothold.

Of course, in today's Japan, it is not only the domestic forces in Japan that are stirring up the situation, but also the influence of external forces that cannot be ignored-the power of the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance.Of course, it can also be said that it is the powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty and the highly pragmatic force of Jinghua's owner.

The person representing the high pragmatic force is his concubine, Kai Ji from the Narita family.It is said that since returning to Japan, this woman never went to Misaki Castle, the headquarters of Jinghua in Japan, or Tamanawa Castle, the new fiefdom of the Narita family, but quietly hid in Sakai Town not far from Osaka.

Since she deliberately stayed in the center of Kinki, Japan, she naturally intended to intervene in the situation in Japan, which Ishida Mitsunari knew well.However, Sancheng was not worried, because in his opinion, no matter how strong Gao Yushi was, he would not be able to rule Japan with the fleet alone, and the Ming Dynasty seemed to have no signs of sending troops to Japan.

In other words, no matter what Kaiji wants to do in Sakaicho, her power is objectively limited. At most, she can only ask for some benefits when she and Ieyasu are about to decide the outcome-who gave There are many benefits, so she should help anyone.

There is no need to worry too much about this, because [-]% is willing to give a promise of great benefits...It's just a promise, and whether it will be fulfilled in the future depends on how quickly and smoothly the mess after defeating Ieyasu is cleaned up.

Jia Fei Ji is just a woman, although she was quite capable in directing the defense of Ninja Castle, but Sancheng didn't think that she had much wisdom to escape her manipulation.

In short, there is no need to worry about Kaiji. When she intervenes in the situation, she must be fighting with Ieyasu at the most intense and deadlocked time, and there is no need to worry now. She should win more allies first, which is the most urgent task.

The [-]% in the past always had a lot of dissatisfaction and were often full of anger, and the more impetuous they were, the more flawed they were, and as a result, a lot of energy was wasted needlessly.Now that he is awake, he is surprised to find that once he has made up his mind, those people who he hated before have become rare allies one by one and become extremely important.

"We each sent out some troops to launch a sudden attack at the end of the banquet at the Fujitang mansion. What do you think?" Seeing that there was no response from the crowd, the governor asked again.

Sancheng could no longer remain silent, and it would be shameful if even the most enthusiastic allies did not respond, so he said with emotion: "Regarding this matter, the gentlemen will definitely not sit idly by. Since Zuofu violated the Supreme Court Last lesson, if he doesn't bow his head and confess to Da Nayan, we will never forgive him."

What Sancheng is talking about here is exactly the private marriage between Tokugawa Ieyasu and many famous names in Dongguo mentioned above. This was forbidden by Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then. Hideyoshi asked these things to be reported to him and obtained approval.Although Hideyoshi is dead now, in theory, this right should be jointly held by the five elders and the five ministers, rather than Tokugawa Ieyasu who can make decisions without authorization.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu himself is one of the five elders. If he makes a mistake, he has to be held accountable by Maeda Toshiie, the only one whose prestige can compete with him.

"That's right." Xiujia also nodded.

"However, what happened afterwards? Yuezhou Zhongxing, chief planner Qingzheng and others used all kinds of tricks to deceive Da Nayan, and finally lured Da Nayan to Fushimi, causing the world to think that we took the initiative to admit our mistakes to Zuofu, which is ugly It's so sad!"

Afraid of losing his composure, Sancheng deliberately paused, calmed down, and then continued: "Not only that, he didn't even say hello to us, so he gave Xiangdao's mansion to the Zuo Mansion... this time the Zuo Mansion Come to answer the gift, we must not take it lightly, if..."

Speaking of this, he slowly glanced at the crowd, squinted his eyes slightly and asked: "If he deceives the seriously ill Da Nayan with clever words, gathers people together, and instead finds some troubles to take our territory, what will happen? What should I do?"

"We absolutely don't allow it!" The president immediately interjected.

Sancheng said with a cold face: "However, Kato, Asano and the others were all recruited by Zuofu... It's not that he can't do such a thing."

"That's right." The governor frowned.

Sancheng continued: "Therefore, Zuo Mansion staying in Fujitang Mansion this time is a godsend opportunity!"

However, even though the words have reached such a point, there is still no one to respond.

President Xiaoxi was a little impatient, patted the table and said: "In the past few days, I have found that everyone's reactions are really slow! Only when you have a chance to win? How can there be such a good thing in the world! As the saying goes, it is better to act first. If you want to Waiting for the Zuo Mansion to be full of loopholes is pure wishful thinking.

Just as Mr. Jibu said just now, it is definitely a golden opportunity for us to have him stay in Fujido Mansion.Think about the current situation, if he lives outside the city, how can we act? "

Hearing the president's rare impassioned statement, Maeda Genichi, who had been silent all this time, looked at Masuda Changsheng, and said, "I was ordered to guard Fushimi, but I came here on purpose this time, and I heard such unexpected words. , Did you mean to embarrass me on purpose?" Masuda Nagamori turned his face aside in embarrassment.

Not long ago, Sancheng just repeatedly emphasized Ieyasu's tyranny.But I don't know when, he has "must get rid of Ieyasu", and today he even wants to do it.Changsheng felt that from the very beginning, Sancheng had lured them into a big trap skillfully.This point is not difficult to see from Maeda Genichi's panic.

Xuan Yiben was guarding Fushimi Castle, so he came specially this time because he wanted to take advantage of Ieyasu's visit to Osaka in person, and go to pay homage to Hideyori with the three eldest sons, and show their loyalty to Hideyori.Therefore, when the topic suddenly changed to how to get rid of Ieyasu, his confusion and even shock were understandable.

Even so, Changsheng couldn't question Sancheng's proposal like Xuan Yi, because he had promised Sancheng as a follower before, and was willing to work with him and advance together.

"Didn't you promise to live and die with me and share weal and woe?" Just four or five days ago, San Cheng asked him cautiously.At that time, Changsheng replied firmly: "There is no doubt about it!"

It now appears that it was his mistake.At that time, he mistakenly thought that Sancheng was only caused by his naturally competitive temper, so he agreed without thinking.

Seeing Changsheng turned his face to one side, Xuanyi turned to Sancheng, and said, "It's foolish to think that Zuofu asked Xichuan Youzhai to go with him just to relieve loneliness... Zhongxing has already rushed to Qiantian Mansion, it is estimated that he will be with Li The commander is responsible for vigilance. Of course, the Tokugawa family must be fully prepared, and since they decided to stay overnight at the Fujido residence, Fujido will never stand idly by, and will definitely strengthen the guard, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Sancheng waved his hand to stop him: "Xuan Yi means that we must not take the enemy lightly, and suspend the matter of the sneak attack? Xuan Yi, although what I just said may sound alarmist, it is definitely not for my own self-interest ah."

"That's natural, it's all for the sake of the young master." The Xiu family immediately came out to smooth things over and said, "As the two of you said, the opportunity cannot be missed, and the time will never come again. Once the Zuofu is returned to Fushimi, all we can do is to fight It's time to ambush Jiancheng."

Masuda Changsheng, who had been silent all this time, interjected at this moment: "What is the opinion of Mr. Nagatsu?"

Changshu Zhengjia also looked quite embarrassed, he hurriedly turned his gaze to the side with panic in his eyes.It seems that Zhengjia is more disturbed than Changsheng about Sancheng's tough attitude.

He pondered for a long time, and then replied cleverly: "I want to listen to Xuan Yi's opinion first, and then make a decision..."

Thirty percent are slightly dissatisfied with everyone's indifferent attitude.If possible, he really wanted the Seven Families to join forces and launch an attack on Ieyasu tonight.And once it takes action, there is a way to get Uesugi to join.In this way, everyone except Maeda will join in the action of removing Ieyasu.

Of course, the attack might not be successful, and with Ieyasu's prudence and the loyalty of those around him, he might still be able to escape.But that's okay, if everyone decides to get rid of Ieyasu, Maeda will not sit idly by. Those generals who followed the Taiko since childhood are scruples about Hideyori, so naturally they dare not approach the Tokugawa clan again.In the end, when Ieyasu found that almost everyone was on Sancheng's side, he certainly did not dare to act rashly.

As for the final outcome of this turmoil, it can be ignored for the time being.In short, whether it is good or bad, this gust of wind must first blow.Just like Tang Yan, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?

Hearing that the Zheng family said that he wanted to listen to his own opinion, Maeda Xuan sat upright and said: "I am the same as you, and I am not willing to fall behind for the sake of the young master, so I dared to dissuade everyone. Since Hosokawa and his son are all on the side of Zuo Fu , then Kato, Fukushima, Asano, Kuroda and others will definitely support Zuo Fu, which cannot be ignored.

Not to mention Fujido right now, Horio and the others will definitely stand with Zuofu... Once they get the news, Yuuki Hideyasu will immediately lead a team from Fushimi to rescue.In this way, not only will the world be in chaos, but it will also bring disaster to the young master... Do you think so, Masuda-sama? "

Changsheng didn't evade, nodded heavily, and said: "I also agree with Shandeyuan's opinion. Mr. Zhibu is a little impatient. In fact, I just met Otani Criminal Department Shaosuke just now, and chatted with him for a few words. Sue revealed some news to me...

There are two kinds of people who want to get rid of Zuofu: one is purely for the sake of the young master and has to do so; there are also some people who are not really for the sake of the young master, but are jealous of Zuofu and attempt to avenge their personal revenge under the guise of being for the young master.

If the Zuo Mansion really wants to take over the world, it is not difficult for us to gather all those who have received the favor of the Taige to fight against.But if we can't hold back and act rashly, not only our own lives will be in danger, but more importantly, the young master will be implicated... Shaofu Xingbu burst into tears for this.Changsheng understood his mood very well. "

Sancheng looked at Changsheng coldly and shook his head disdainfully.It seemed that this attack would be impossible...but he didn't feel disappointed at all.It is enough for these people to come here today, and being able to participate in the secret meeting of "cutting off Ieyasu" shows that they have become important allies.

Sancheng was thinking of this, when Zhengjia said again: "It's not surprising that everyone has their own opinions. But I still think that if you want to send people to the Fujitang Mansion, you'd better find out first. What do you think?"

Several people nodded in agreement, President Konishi and Ukita Hideka were still suspicious, Mori Terumoto didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and Micheng was very satisfied.

The Maori clan had no connection with the Toyotomi clan—except, of course, Kobayakawa Hideaki.They dare to take risks and stand on the side of Sancheng, and their purpose is the same as that of Ieyasu: once the opportunity comes, they will also covet the world.

Sancheng is well aware of the reasons for this, but it is still beneficial and harmless to regard them as their own weight, so he said: "Then, let's make a decision after finding out what the enemy is doing. Before that, I will go to the Maeda Mansion first. To find out the truth."

Not long after their discussion, Ieyasu and Hosokawa Yusai's boat arrived at the pier two hundred feet away from Maeda Prefecture.Hearing that Ieyasu was going to come to Osaka, Fukushima Masaru ordered the road to be blocked and the security was tight, and told Ieyasu: "Most of the people in Osaka City are daring and reckless. Zuofu hopes to act cautiously during this trip."

Even Masanori Fukushima has issued strict orders, and Masanobu Honda, Naomasa Ii, Yasomasa Sakakibara and others will not take it lightly.They set up muskets on the river bank and specially sent small boats to patrol the river to prevent sneak attacks.Ieyasu's ship was also equipped with carefully selected soldiers.

A group of people went down the river until the boat docked.At this moment, they found that two female sedan chairs had already parked on the pier, as if they were waiting for someone.Hosokawa Yuzhai, who was traveling all the way, saw two female sedan chairs, couldn't help squinting his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Whose sedan chair is that?"

Ieyasu was very serious, but at the same time he looked confused: "Yes, whose sedan chair is it? Could it be the messenger from the inner court?"

He was quite uneasy, because if Mrs. Dian or Gao Taiyuan (Ning Ning) sent someone to invite him to the city to rest, it would be really hard for him to refuse.But he really didn't want to go to the city. This was not only a comfort to the Li family, but also for his own safety.

In any case, Asano Nagamasa and Yukinaga and his son have already arrived at the Maeda Mansion, and Kiyomasa will definitely show up at that time.After Ieyasu wanted to greet them, he headed home.

As soon as the boat docked, Xinzhuang Fayin Zhilai and Arima Fayin Zelai came to greet him.These two have a very close personal relationship with Ieyasu, and it must be Lijia who asked them to come out to welcome them.

Before the greetings were over, a slim figure suddenly emerged from the female sedan chair and walked towards Ieyasu.Before everyone could see clearly, a person emerged from the female sedan chair at the back, but he was a big and sturdy man.

Everyone took a closer look, and the burly man behind was Fujido Takatora, while the one in front was a beautiful woman.

The rest of the people didn't seem to be familiar with the woman's appearance, but were temporarily speechless because of her beauty, but Tokugawa Ieyasu was taken aback and blurted out: "Princess Narita?"

It was none other than Narita Kai, who was supposed to be hiding in Sakaicho at this moment!
