A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Xiaoping didn't dare to guess what Yamauchi Yoshiharu meant. If he guessed wrong, there would be a terrifying large-scale imperial commotion that swept through the three and four countries. It is very possible that the foundation of the country may be shaken and the family name may be extinguished.

Looking at Harumiya Hosokawa who was still understanding Yamauchi Yoshiharu's meaning, Koheita quietly leaned close to his ear.

"Sir, come out for a moment." Mrs. Xiaoping really couldn't afford to wade in this muddy water.

"Xiao Pingtai, do you see what His Highness means?" The old man looked calm on the outside, but he didn't know how anxious he was inside.

"My lord, no matter what His Highness means now, how can we ministers make wild guesses! No matter whether we guess right or wrong, it will be a disaster in the future!"

After hearing this, Harugong Hosokawa's face immediately fell. This is a matter for the Yamauchi family. No matter how senior he is, he still has the name Hosokawa. He should not interfere with Yamauchi's housework. Especially at this juncture, it is even more sensitive.

"Xiao Pingtai, your highness is like this now, Yuanjiang Palace has a special status, what's left?"

"It's not like the dignified Shinshu Yamauchi clan doesn't have someone in charge. The reclusive Izumo Mamoru or the Eighth Prince's chief planner, who can't take charge of the overall situation? Why bother coming, sir?"

This matter is now very clear. In addition to the distant clan members who have been related for three or four generations, there are many men from close branches in the mountain clan.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu's father died twenty years ago, but his uncle Yamauchi Mochiyoshi is still alive and kicking in his sixties. Not to mention that his half-brother, Accountant Yamauchi, is just forty, which is a great age.

"I made a mistake at the moment. You are right. We should quickly invite these two people to the city to take charge." Hosokawa Harugong can quickly hand over the burden of temporarily controlling the family, and he can relax a little more.

Xiaoheita just mentioned that two big bosses would be invited to the city to take charge, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu expressed his approval. After all, in the end, what Yamauchi Yoshiharu believed in the most was his direct descendants of the same clan, especially his biological brother who had not given birth to a son.

Oishi Saburo also set out that night. Before the news of Yonglu's rebellion had spread, he rushed to Hachioji to replace the chief accountant in the mountain. Let this person, a member of the same clan, take charge of political affairs for the time being.

Next is Yamauchi Mokiyoshi, who has rarely been seen in recent years. The old man did not follow the crowd and left home. He also had a son. It was a pity that he took a step ahead of him and died in the war before he was forty. Now the eldest grandson is left in his early ten years, and he is raised like a treasure by his side, reading, reading and martial arts.

One more thing to mention, Hosokawa Harumiya's biological brother is dead, Isshiki Miyauchi is already in his fifties, and he has never heard of an adult son.

All of these people and Koheita, the original biological father, fought together at Uehara Castle and sent a wave of heads to the Takeda family. More than 600 soldiers died alone, and more than a dozen samurai died.

As a result, Aya's biological father also died, and she became the daughter of Hosokawa Erungong. The eldest son and second son in the Isshiki Palace are all dead, and now there is only a single child who is a little more than ten years old and has not come out to serve at all. Otherwise, his eldest son's status might not be lower than Hosokawa's.

Two trustworthy bannermen were sent out of the city to invite Yamauchi Mochiyoshi to come into the city to support the important matter. Not long after, the old man was carried into the city on a sedan chair. He looked a little older than when Xiaopingtai met him a few years ago, but his body and bones still looked good. At least he didn't need anyone to support him or a crutch, and he could walk very steadily.

Koheita, Hosokawa Harungiya, and Isshiki Miyauchi welcomed Yamauchi Mokiyoshi together. The old man thought that Yamauchi Yoshinori summoned him overnight for some big deal.

But wait until a few people have finished talking about Yonglu's rebellion, as well as the news that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu killed Luo Jing in the battle, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. This old man actually just said calmly, "I know!"

Xiaoping was too worried that he would also have a stroke. It seemed that he was overthinking it. After all, his own son had died a long time ago, and it was estimated that nothing more exciting could harm him.

The old man entered the hall and asked the ladies serving him to step aside temporarily. He shook his fan himself and started communicating with Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Koheta told him in advance that as long as Yamauchi Yoshiji agreed with what he said, he would make a sound.

The two uncles and nephews talked secretly all night, and it was unknown what they talked about. Anyway, Xiao Pingtai thought that the less we knew, the better.

The next day, Yamauchi Mochiyoshi asked the important ministers to issue consecutive sentences. First, he ordered Uncle Tsunayoshi of Futama Castle to join the carpentry of Asahina of Kakegawa Castle, and Iwase Motomasa of Takaten Jinjo Castle to gather troops to deploy defenses on the front line of Oigawa and Suruga Shita County.

He also ordered Suwa Iida Castle Dai Konishiharazaemon to start gathering troops to encircle the castle, summon the Kiso parents and others who were temporarily in charge of the castle, and inform them of various news, which could not be kept secret for a few days anyway.

Forced Kiso Yoshimasa to send documents back to Kiso, the military supervisor Ogasawara Nagamasa commanded Kiso soldiers and horses to support the Suwa front line.

At the same time, he also told Ogasawara Nagatoki frankly and honestly that something happened to the Yamauchi family, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu died in the battle. What's your attitude? Make your choice! Instead of playing tricks, Ogasawara Sadaki and his son came to Fuchu Castle.

Of course, it's not in vain. Yamauchi Yoshinori's youngest daughter will marry Ogasawara Nagatoki's grandson. The two parties concluded a marriage, and the Ogasawara clan's status as a semi-independent citizen remained unchanged.

The city remained closed to entry and exit, but military forces began to be slowly mobilized. Hokahata University, which was ordered to stay in Hamamatsu, also mobilized troops directly under the Yamauchi clan to be ready to suppress any rebellion that might break out among the Toe country people.

Send the current situation to Kanto and seek Uesugi Teruhu's opinion. Regardless of whether he supports Taro Yamauchi in the future, Uesugi Teruhu's attitude is crucial.

If Terutora Uesugi is dissatisfied with the succession of the Yamauchi family governor, it will be an even more terrifying incident. Uesugi Terutora, who could muster an army of 112,000 men, was a unique presence in the Eastern Kingdom and he did not dare to be ignored.

The last piece of news actually had something to do with Koheita. Yamauchi Yoshiharu announced the adoption of the daughter of Aya and Yamauchi's chief accountant, confirming that these two girls were the legitimate daughters of the Yamauchi clan.

And at the same time, the marriage of Koheita and Hosokawa Saime was confirmed, making Koheita and Hosokawa Saime both the biological sons-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, the adopted brothers of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, and the uncle of Yamauchi Taro.

At this time, such a layout is so painstaking!

Kodaira was amazed that his son-in-law, who was descended from the Hosokawa clan, was now the direct son-in-law of the Yamauchi clan.

After the announcement was made, Koheita and Hosokawa Saime arranged the hostages who had been guarding them all night. The city is large enough to accommodate dozens of hostages.

The expressions and attitudes of each hostage were different. Although he tried hard to restrain himself, Xiao Pingtai still felt various emotions in them. There's an undercurrent surging!
