Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

558. Fighting Japan Again

.

On the second day of spn's Edo assessment, Tokugawa Tsunajo and Tokugawa Yoshimune staged a rivalry.The outline required immediate peace negotiations with Huaxia and the emperor's court, while Jizong demanded that troops be dispatched to the West Kingdom immediately to prevent more daimyos from falling to the court.

These two almost tit-for-tat proposals aroused great infighting among the participants. The two factions who supported the principles and those who supported Yoshimune did not want to give in to each other. If it were not for the noisy samurai code of success or failure, it would almost be staged in Edo Castle. Real people wrestled.

The opinions of the two parties could not be unified, and General Jiaxuan also had a headache. At this time, Jitong connected with some royal families and proposed a compromise opinion, that is, to negotiate peace with Huaxia and the emperor's court while sending troops to the west, so Oda Nobuharu became a formal official. The envoy of the peace talks, and the [-] troops commanded by the hardliners also left Edo and went to Mino.

It's just that Oda Nobuharu arrived in Kyoto smoothly again, but the army led by Sakai Laozhong, the lord of the Himeji Domain, had a rough journey.Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the Misanka and Mikamen are behind the scenes. Japan’s political struggle has not advanced to the point where it intentionally trips up its own army. The Misanka and Mikamon actually hope that the shogunate can win one or two victories to strengthen the Japanese army. The position of the shogunate in negotiations.It's just that the princes along the way couldn't bear the demands of the shogunate army for soldiers and food. Without the offerings of the local lords, the shogunate army naturally couldn't move quickly.

On the seventh day of July in the 13th year of Huaxia Wucheng, the shogunate army under Sakai Laozhong arrived in Gifu. Ten days later, the shogunate army, which had expanded to 3 people, entered Sekigahara.Sakai Laozhong led a group of generals to pay homage to the former site of the Sekigahara Battle in Tianmanshan, hoping to guarantee the continuation of the shogunate by relying on the power left by Tosho Daquanxian (Tokugawa Ieyasu). [

On July 5000th, [-] soldiers from the shogunate army fought again in Sekigahara with the Xiguo Mori, Hosokawa, Kuroda, Ikeda, Asano, Nabeshima and other families. As a result, the shogunate army won first and then lost The Xia army who joined halfway was defeated in a flank attack.Dozens of senior warriors, including Sakai Laozhong, died on the spot. The news spread to Mino, and Gifu and other cities directly under the shogunate surrendered.It was only because of the constraints of China that the Western Army did not continue to attack Echizen, Owari and other places.If this is the case, the princes of Ise, Mino, Shinano and other places also changed their flags and voted for the emperor's court.

On July 24, Oda Nobuharu took advantage of the Xia Jun Xinbao ship to return to the precarious Edo, and brought China's ultimatum to the shogunate. Surrender in the way of "fit", or directly accept the fate of extinction.

Xia Jun's ultimatum paralyzed the shogunate again, but because of Sakai and others' killing, the faction in the shogunate that accepted the "combination of public and military forces" had an absolute upper hand.General Jiaxuan is determined to fight to the death, but the defense of the branch city he relies on has been weakened by sending troops to the Western Kingdom. As for the standing and preparation of the Great Wall he relies on, there are also problems. The vassal was forced to disband, and the standing generals were also half-hearted and refused to challenge the superior forces of the Xia army with a pebble against a stone.

In order to restore the scattered hearts, Shogun Jiaxuan accepted the proposal of the shogunate, and allocated 56 stones of the shogunate in Shinano, Kai, Ueno, and Etchu to Tokugawa Yoshimune, and added the Mito domain Zhixing 13 shi, Owari Fan Zhixing 170 shi, making the total territory of the Yusanjia reach more than 47 million shi.Then Shogun Ianobu established the Ochi Matsudaira family, and arranged for his younger brother Matsudaira Kiyotake to be the head of the Hayashi domain of Uenodate, Chiyuki [-] stones, adding [-] stones to the Chiyuki of the Aizu domain, and the increase to [-] Chiyuki of the Fukui domain (Echizen Matsudaira clan) Stone, and restored the Takata clan (Echigo Matsudaira), and moved the Iyo Matsuyama clan, Imabari clan, Takamatsu clan, Saijo clan, Mino Suda clan and other relative clan daimyos in Shikoku to Mutsu Tanakura, Dewa Kurume and other places.

Although Jiaxuan also announced that he would give some territorial compensation to the genealogical daimyos whose territories were also in the western country, his move to strengthen pro-vassal status still caused dissatisfaction among the daimyos of the eastern kingdom. In fact, most of the daimyos of the eastern kingdom were On the other hand, many of them were enemies of the Tokugawa family when they became the people of the world. Seeing the end of the shogunate, they naturally couldn't wait to jump out.

Jiaxuan regretted it at this time, but he couldn't go back on his word and offended his vassals. He was tossing and turning, hesitating whether to accept Xia Jun's ultimatum to save the shogunate, a sudden bad news greatly stimulated him .

On the eighth day of August, the Sendai clan announced to the outside world that they would send troops to Edo to defend the generals. The next day, the Sendai army marched aggressively towards Edo, disarming the clans that were still loyal to the shogunate along the way. Its intentions are self-evident.

Faced with the "forced" palace of the Sendai Domain, Jiaxuan had no choice but to mobilize his standing equipment to stop it.Standing may not dare to fight against Xia Jun, but they still have a bit of courage to meet the Sendai Fan.However, what shocked the standing staff was that the equipment of the Sendai Army was no worse than their own, so after several short fights, the Shogunate Army was forced to form a confrontation with the Sendai Army.

"It's an extremely critical moment now, and we must act." In Gangtiao's mansion, more than a dozen pro-vassals gathered together. "It's not too late, everyone, bring your vassals, let's go to Edo Castle"

"My lord, my lord, it's not good," a fan of the academy fan ran to Jianbu Quanfang in a panic, and reported to the powerful official of the Jiaxuan era. "Mito-sama, Owari-sama, Kofu-sama, they want to enter Zhongao."

Jianbu Quanfang frowned: "Why is there such a panic, the Yusan family wants to see the general, can we stop it?"

"No, it's not," Fantou became more nervous. "In addition to the Yusan family, there are more than a dozen relatives." Maybe he felt that he didn't understand what he said, so Fantou tried his best to calm down, and then said almost word by word. "They are all accompanied by guards, there are hundreds of them, each with knives, guns and iron cannons."

Jianbu Quanfang's head buzzed, and then he ordered in a trembling voice: "Stop them, stop them quickly, I will report to the general, I will report to the general!"

"Anfangshou, who do you want to stop?" Before Jianbu Quanfang could stand up and run towards Zhongao, the door of the servant's room where he worked was roughly opened by someone, and then he saw more than a dozen A thug armed with a knife broke in following the Kurume feudal lord Matsudaira Tokujong. "Don't waste your energy, it's too late."

"What do you want to do," Jianbu Quan asked sternly outside the room. "This is Edo Castle, the residence of the General."

"The general's residence? It's a mistake. It's just that if Master Jiaxuan continues to do this, the shogunate will be finished." Matsudaira Derong responded calmly. "At that time, there will be no generals."

"You guys are rebelling, you're fighting against the top." Jianbu Quanfang roared at the top of his lungs. "Damn, you can't"

"Nothing, they are all the descendants of the gods. Could it be that you ruined the shogunate's foundation!" Matsudaira Derong asked sharply. "If it weren't for the secret instigation of you courtiers, how could the general take the risk of going to war with Huaxia? Now he won't lose all his family fortune."

Mabe Anfang was so out of breath that he reached out his hand to the tatami on one side of the rack, but his hand just grasped the handle of the tatami, and two sad sword lights flashed, and he slumped down on the tatami with all his strength. When he was dying, he still blamed himself: "You are a rebellion, and you are the ones who have caused trouble in Tokugawa."

Matsudaira Derong didn't even look at the dead body of Kambu, and pointed to the trembling Pantou and ordered: "Kill him!"

Fantou turned around to try to escape, but finally smashed through the paper wall, and a few knives fell on his back. Fantou struggled for a while, but in the end, he had no choice but to look at the bull's eye and fell into a pool of blood

Jianbu Quanfang was killed here, and a dozen pro-vassals with armed guards rushed into the throne room of the general's office.

Seeing the crowd rushing in, the general Jiaxuan, who was frowning and considering whether to accept the Huaxia ultimatum, was a little surprised and asked the leader: "Mito-sama, what are you doing?"

Gang Tiao led the crowd to pay homage to the family Xuan: "General, the shogunate is in danger now, please make a decision immediately, General."

Jiaxuan suddenly understood something: "Are you trying to 'force' me to accept the Xia people's ultimatum, to accept the so-called combination of public and martial arts?"

Before Gangtiao answered, Tokugawa Yoshitsuba spoke first: "General Mingjian, this is also for the survival of my Tokugawa clan."

Jiaxuan laughed angrily: "Okay, great, this is the Tokugawa lineage, I really deserve my family's knowledge and actions for you just now, you guys, is this how you repay my family's love for you?"

Everyone was silent, and only Ji Zong responded: "If it weren't for your reckless actions, General, how could the shogunate get to where it is today, so it is useless to say anything, please be aware, General."

Jiaxuan turned pale with shock, pointed at the crowd and said, "You guys, do you want my family to die?"

Ji Zong replied: "Only the life of the general can dispel the anger of the Chinese emperor and preserve the Tokugawa lineage."

Of course, this is not the truth. In fact, it is precisely because of the fear that the general will settle accounts in the fall, so the Yusanjia and Yujiamen who participated in the "forced" palace are united in wanting the family to announce their violent death.

Jiaxuan took a deep look at the people present, and he understood everything, so he laughed loudly: "Three years of prosperity, a dream, with the intention to revive and regain strength. Okay, okay, finally liberated, I hope you all If I can turn the tide, save the shogunate, and save the Tokugawa lineage, I am willing to go."

After saying that, Jiaxuan asked again: "Guomongwan is still young, can he be saved?"

Gang Tiao replied before others: "Master Jiaxuan, please rest assured, we will let Nabatsumaru grow up."

"Then I'm relieved." Jiaxuan picked up the gold pen holder on the side of the table and swallowed it. "I'm a general. If you see blood, I'm afraid it's not very auspicious."

A group of people walked out of the throne room, listening to Jiaxuan's screams before he died, Gangtiao announced in a dismayed way: "The general is seriously ill, and he is going to pass on the throne to Guosongwan. Now the family will be in charge. See you later."

After Buda made some pre-agreed personnel matters, Gangtiao added: "Let Oda Nobuharu go to Kyoto again and tell the Xia people that the shogunate has agreed to accept the combination of public and martial arts."
