Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2151 Total Baikui (卌[-]) Patience

Ishida Mitsunari's brows immediately frowned, he didn't expect Ieyasu to still win people's hearts in Kyushu, which is far away from his Kanto territory.Although Sancheng also knew that there had been rumors that the Shimadzu family had been secretly colluding with the "Guan Bai" of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but judging from his performance in Japan, the Shimadzu family was regarded by Sancheng as an ally, or at least had a chance Win over forces that become allies.However, judging from today's situation, they may also fall to Ieyasu.

Matsunari was very clear about the death of Ijuin Zhongdong, and he was the one who issued the punishment order to Shimadzu Zhongheng on behalf of the Toyotomi court afterwards.

To put it simply, Tadahiro Shimadzu, who was approved by the Toyotomi family as the next generation head of the Shimadzu family just a month ago, beheaded the old Ijuin Tadashi, the writer of the Shimadzu family, on the spot at his home in Fushimi Castle. building.

Here are a few key words: approval, the next generation of Patriarch, the elder of the pen, beheaded.

The so-called pen head elder is the head of the elder.If we make an assumption or an analogy, Ijuin Tadato's status in the Shimadzu family is like that of Tokugawa Ieyasu in the current Toyotomi regime, the head of the five elders.Then, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still alive, Hideyori beheaded Ieyasu in his palace.

What's even more paradoxical is that the reason Shimadzu Tadahiro ordered the beheading of Yijuin Zhongdong turned out to be that Zhongdong was arrogant towards him.

This is really off the charts.Yijiyuan Zhongdong is the head of the family, if you insist on saying that he is a little arrogant towards you, the next governor of the family, it is indeed possible.But firstly, Zhongdong, as a Shimadzu veteran minister who has been struggling for decades, can't be so stupid that he has no sense of propriety; secondly, no matter how arrogant he is, your next Renjiadu is not Renjiadu. How self-willed he was to the point of killing this veteran minister of the same status as the chief assistant!
This incident made Ishida Mitsunari very puzzled at the time, but he really didn't think of a reason. He could only think that Zhong Heng was too tempered after fighting in North Korea for several years, and it was rumored that Zhong Dong was transporting The supply was not very hard, so there may have been a rift between the two. This time Zhongheng may have lost his temper and killed Zhongdong for any reason.

Therefore, in the end, Sancheng, as the head of the Five Obligations in charge, reprimanded Zhongheng on behalf of the Toyotomi clan—however, as I said just now, Sancheng regarded the Shimadzu family as quasi-allies, so the reprimand belonged to the reprimand, but it did not Did not delve into it.

But this matter is far from as simple as Sancheng thought.In the final analysis, there are high pragmatic reasons here.

The matter goes back to Gao Wushi's "economic guidance" to the Shimadzu family.At the beginning, apart from digging sulfur for the Shimadzu family, Gao Wushi also gave the Shimadzu family a new source of income, which was to develop the glass processing industry with the help of Jinghua.

Gao Wushi did not provide the Shimadzu family with the technology to manufacture high-end glass, but mainly focused on controlling raw materials. However, due to Jinghua’s efforts over the years, glass has been widely used in almost the entire East and Southeast Asia, so glass processing has become an extremely important task. profitable industry.

The Japanese are good at cultivating in a certain detail field. Although the root cause of their society's class solidification since ancient times, in any case, the Shimadzu family has made rapid progress because of this.In just a few years, they have cultivated a group of glass processing talents, and their income has increased significantly.

As an old writer, Yijiyuan Zhongdong is directly responsible for the ups and downs of the glass processing industry, and thus greatly increases the right to speak at home. More people moved closer to it.

As a result, the "two halls" of Yoshihisa Shimadzu and Yoshihiro Shimadzu quickly discovered that the Zhongdong family of Ijuin was too powerful, and even dared to delay and neglect the supplies ordered by Yoshihiro during the Korean War. , There is a big rebellion of "I can't do anything if I don't cooperate with you".

In other words, the Ijuin family already had the initial momentum to threaten the rule of the Shimadzu family.That being the case, brothers Yoshihisa and Yoshihiro naturally dare not neglect.After the Shimadzu family withdrew from North Korea, the two brothers called Zhongheng, the heir, to discuss how to deal with the Ijuin family.

However, they did not come to the conclusion of "killing Zhongdong".Because although the Ijuin family is named "Ijuin", in fact, in terms of blood, Ijuin is a branch of the Shimadzu family, and they are actually the same ancestor.

Therefore, the matter discussed this time was actually "how to prevent other retainers from falling to the Ijuin family", and the conclusion reached was "recovering glass processing, sulfur mining and monopoly rights from Ijuin Zhongdong as soon as possible".

According to Yoshihisa Shimadzu's decision at the time, he wanted to do two things in the next period of time: first, to win the approval of Jinghua for this matter, especially the approval of Narita Kai, who represented Gao Yushi and secretly sat in Sakaicho. Agree, let her agree or at least acquiesce in the internal power collection of the Shimadzu family.

Second, as soon as possible, secretly investigate whether Yijiyuan Zhongdong used his power for personal gain during his time in charge of these economic affairs, especially embezzlement of public interests.If there is, then it is easy to handle, and no one can say anything to take it down; if not, then some means must be used, even if it is framed, he must be allowed to have it.

However, Shimadzu Yoshihisa and Shimadzu Yoshihiro brothers did not expect that Zhongheng thought it was too much trouble to do so, and unexpectedly when they saw Zhongdong in Fushimi Castle, they imprisoned Zhongdong on the spot for the crime of "disrespect". It beheaded.

This seems to be "cutting the mess with a sharp knife", but it actually left a lot of hidden dangers, which later led to the "Shonai Rebellion" of the Shimadzu family that also appeared in history... But let's not talk about this matter for now.At least for now, Shimadzu Tadahiro has been severely reprimanded by Ishida Mitsunari.

Then there was another surprise.Although Ishida Mitsunari regarded the Shimadzu family as quasi-allies in his heart, but Mitsunari was too deep in the city, he only thought that the Shimadzu family must also understand that his reprimand was to block the mouths of the world, so this scolding belonged to "holding high." Get up, put it down gently", when the scolding is over, the matter is over.

However, Sancheng did not expect that although Shimadzu Yoshihisa and Shimadzu Yoshihiro must understand such a truth, the young and energetic Shimadzu Tadahiro may not be able to.

After being scolded, Tadahiro Shimadzu was furious, and concluded that Ishida Mitsunari's scolding was just an "opening remark", and there must be more practical punishments waiting for him in the future.

He doesn't have many people who can be classified as allies in Fushimi or in the whole of Kinai. Now he is facing danger. His first reaction is to contact Narita Kai in Sakai Town to see if there is any way for Jinghua to help him. .

Kaiji responded quickly, and directly asked him to go to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and said that as long as Zhongheng told Ieyasu that she asked him to ask for help, Ieyasu would spare no effort to save him.At this time, Zhongheng knew that the Tokugawa family had also taken refuge in Jinghua—er, considering Ieyasu's current status, perhaps it could not be said to be a refuge, but an alliance?Anyway, no matter what, it can be seen that Jinghua and Ieyasu are standing together now.

Then it's all right, no matter how Sancheng is favored, it's an old thing when the Taige was still there.Now that Taige and Da Nayan have passed away one after another, the young master is just able to walk, it is impossible to govern, the real power is naturally in the hands of the Zuofu, since the Zuofu will definitely help him, what else do I have to worry about?Therefore, Zhongheng soon came to Tokugawa Prefecture.

Thirty percent of these things do not know, so there is a previous misunderstanding.However, Sancheng didn't have the energy to think about the reason at this time. The most critical question for him now was how to return to his own territory.

"That's why I have to ask: Three points have clearly identified and condemned Shimadzu Tadahiro's crimes. How could the Zuo Fu recall him based on his own opinion? Of course, Mr. Honda must not be very clear about these things. Let’s ask Zuo Fu face to face.”

"Oh?" Honda Masanobu said with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Leaving aside these trivial matters for the time being, the Seven Generals have followed Lord Jibu out of Osaka City right now. Could it be that Jibu doesn't know about it?"

Sanguo was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Have they chased out of Daban City?"

"Exactly. It seems that they have expected it a long time ago, and they are very clear that the only one who can hide Mr. Zhibu at this moment is the left mansion." Honda Zhengxin said indifferently, leaned forward, and smiled suddenly : "Regarding this matter, I also inquired about my lord's opinion just now. It seems to be very difficult, Mr. Jibu... I guess they will chase here in a murderous manner soon."

Upon hearing this, Sancheng's expression changed drastically.Although he had expected that they would definitely come, he did not expect to act so swiftly, and they chased him before he even saw Ieyasu.

"Master Zhibu, these words may be beyond my duty, sir, just take it as an old man's worry. There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty: a tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it. Your excellency seems to be inappropriate in this regard. ah."

Ishida Mitsunari remained silent.

"What should my lord do? If you want to protect Mr. Zhibu, the other party will have seven heroes! If all these arrogant soldiers rise up and don't even sell my lord's face, then the matter will be a real one." It's out of control." Honda Sadomori shrugged his shoulders, showing a look of helplessness.

This old fox!Sancheng was furious immediately, but he didn't make a sound.As Ieyasu's mastermind, Honda Masanobu has already treated him this way, so isn't it self-evident how Ieyasu will treat him?This is really just out of the wolf's lair and into the tiger's mouth.

"Things in the world are really unpredictable... The seven generals have known for a long time that the Zhibu and my lord are at odds, so at this moment, I guess they must be very happy, thinking that the overall situation of today's affairs has been settled."

"Well, yes." Sancheng calmed down, seemed to have made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Sado is very right. They must have thought that Sancheng was scared and confused, and they sent it to the tiger's mouth. At this moment, they decided to He was eager to come and laugh at me."

This sounds ironic, especially when Ishida Mitsunari is not in a hurry.But in fact, [-]% of them are thinking quickly in their minds at the moment.

It seems that the facts are indeed far from my expectations, and the situation is already very serious.Apart from persuading Ieyasu to negotiate with Seven Generals, there seems to be no other way.But in this way, my fate is completely handed over to Ieyasu.If Ieyasu can really convince the seven generals with a smooth tongue, then that's fine.Once you can't be persuaded, handing yourself over to the seven generals is tantamount to sending a goat to the mouth of a tiger.

With the attitude of these seven generals towards me, and the current situation where almost no one can control them except Jiayasu, even if these guys kill me together, this kind of thing may not be unreasonable. will happen.

"Master Zhibu, this is the end of the matter. I think it's best not to mention the Shimadzu's affairs with my lord. The Tang people said well, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. He also said that those who know the current affairs are the best. , It can be seen that life-saving is the most important thing. Even if a poor bird flies into the hunter's arms, the hunter may not have the heart to kill, right? I think the most important thing right now, Lord Jibu, is to ask my lord to help you..."

"shut up!"

Honda Masanobu was obviously taken aback for a while, but Sancheng suddenly became angry, and he couldn't help asking subconsciously, "What did your lord say?"

"Master Sado, what you mean by "poor bird" is [-]%?"

"Oh, this is something that everyone knows, is it possible that your lord is still so fussy about words at this moment?"

"Hmph, rude! This time, Sancheng came here to discuss with the Zuo Mansion how to punish the seven generals..."

"Your Excellency is too polite." Honda Sado Mamoru still had a calm expression on his face, but he interrupted: "Since this is the case, there is no need for Mr. Jibu to come here on purpose. The matter happened in Osaka, and His Excellency can deal with it as he pleases in Osaka." , Why do you need to discuss with my lord? I don't think my lord will have any objections to this."

Thirty percent was at a loss for words.In fact, he himself knew that when he was angry with Honda Zhengxin just now, he had already lost the battle... He knew this very well, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do except to speak stubbornly.

"Then, when the seventh day comes, I will bring them here, and you can talk to each other here, so as not to implicate my lord."

San Cheng was stunned.At first he felt dry and hot all over his body, and then he felt as if he had been poured cold water, filled with remorse.

"Wait a minute! Please wait a moment, Sado-sama."

"What orders does Master Zhibu have?"

"Hey... I'm all to blame for Sancheng's slip of the tongue. Actually, I don't want to meet General Qi here."

"Then, do you still ask my lord? Heh, actually, even if you beg my lord to succeed, it's hard for me to predict whether Mr. Jibu will survive this crisis safely... Your lord has caused such a big trouble, alas!"

San Cheng bit his lip and closed his eyes.Just now, he wished he could grab Honda Masanobu and tear him to pieces, but now, the Sado Mamoru in front of him seemed to have become an invulnerable boulder.He understood that Honda Zhengshin was teasing himself, but should he go up and fight with his life, or swallow his anger for the time being?

But Sancheng held back his anger in an instant: he finally came here, why did he have to make trouble with the Tokugawa family's retainers?At this moment, I am furious, I only know how to show off my bravery, but it is nothing more than making the world ridicule... You must be patient!What is needed now is patience!Even if he had to go all out, the opponent should be Tokugawa Ieyasu, not Honda Masanobu's mere retainers.Only in this way can my death, Ishida Mitsunari, be meaningful.

After making up his mind, Sancheng bowed to Zhengxin and said, "Your Excellency is right, it seems that Sancheng didn't think carefully. I didn't expect the Seventh General to come after him so quickly."

"My lord, have you figured it out?"

"Yes, the most urgent thing is to evacuate first. What do you think, Sado-sama?"

"Yes, yes. Although I don't know if I can hide... But in short, let's discuss it with my lord first. Now that my lord has figured it out, let's go to my lord's room first. Maybe the guest has already left It's gone." Honda Zhengxin still had no expression on his face, he gave Sancheng a light salute, and then left.
