The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 499 The Most Powerful Sentinel

Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the shogunate, was about to leave Edo and go to Kyoto Prefecture to enter the dynasty, known as Shangluo in history.

If history has not changed.

This time Tokugawa Iemitsu's second visit to court will also be the last, representing the victory of the shogunate between Edo and Kyoto, between the shogun and the emperor.

because.

For this Shangluo, Tokugawa Iemitsu summoned an army of 30.

Countless people with various purposes moved for it.

The use of 30 troops is one of the largest military operations in Japan's history, and it is more powerful than the Japanese invasion of North Korea.

The situation in Kyoto Prefecture is critical.

In order to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor chose to abdicate forcibly, cutting off the idea of ​​the Tokugawa family being the second Fujiwara family.

This time.

Facing the threat of the Tokugawa family's all-out efforts, Gomizuo became the overlord, and called his close ministers Wanli Koji Mitsubo, Nijo Yasudo, Tsuchimetai, and others to discuss how to deal with it.

People don't have many options.

The 30 army is like a torrent, a problem that Ren Jingdu can't solve even if he tries his best.

The Tokugawa shogunate concentrated all its power, made it clear that it would achieve its goals toughly, would not back down any more, wanted to obtain the rights of the whole of Japan, and would no longer satisfy dualistic politics.

"Could it just be handed over to others?"

Emperor Gomizuo said with a complicated expression.

He is not afraid of death.

Facing the threat of Tokugawa Hidetada back then, he fought directly to the death, forcing the opponent to give in helplessly.

At that time, he was able to bet, not because of reckless behavior, but because the position of the Tokugawa family was not stable, and the betting opponent would not dare to die together.

really.

Faced with Gomizuo, who was still the emperor at that time, the behavior of breaking the boat, Tokugawa Hidetada finally chose to back down.

This is a moment.

Now that he has become the Empress Dowager, he has no more cards in his hand.

"I heard that the two brothers, Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Tadacho, are at odds, and the situation has reached the point where they are on fire."

Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang said.

Everyone looked at him.

Seeing this, he no longer concealed it, and took the initiative to tell everyone that Tokugawa Tadaga had sent someone to contact him.

Yasudao Nijo, Yasudo Tsuchimetai and others are not fools.

After seeing Emperor Mizuo's expression, they had a clear understanding in their hearts.

really.

"Tokugawa Tadaga believes that Tokugawa Iemitsu does not respect the emperor, and wants to join forces to deal with him, and is willing to support us."

Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang showed his cards to everyone.

The people here are all the confidantes of the Supreme Emperor.

Although Gomizuo abdicated, now that there is a new emperor, he still has the right to control Kyoto Prefecture behind the scenes.

Just as Gogo Mizuo's abdication caused a great uproar in Japan, facing the national public opinion and forcing the second-generation shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, he also had to take action at that time to resign the shogun to ease the accusations.

Tokugawa Hidetada, like Go Mizuo, hid behind the scenes to control power.

Now Tokugawa Hidetada is dead, but Gomizuo is still alive.

But the strength of the shogunate has not weakened, but has become stronger.

The rise of the Wu family not only affected the monks and temples, but also eroded the rights of the public officials. Many middle and low-level public officials could no longer afford to eat.

It's not that they didn't work hard, but the general situation is gone, and their strength is too weak to compete with the Wu family.

With the support of Tokugawa Hidetada and combining the strengths of both sides, it is not that there is no confidence to resist, but there are not many chances of winning.

Therefore, the rest of the people looked serious and did not dare to make a decision lightly.

In fact, it was somewhat similar to the situation when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing back then, but the strength of the Japanese samurai was much higher than that of Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, the strength of the Japanese government is far inferior to that of the big Han officials, so the people present are not confident enough.

"The world has been dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family for a long time."

Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang tried his best to persuade everyone.

The tail of the water above covered half of his face with a paper fan, but his exposed eyes were full of tension.

Erjo Yasudo, who was around 30 years old, finally spoke out.

Although he is young, his qualifications are the highest among the crowd.

Because he is Fujiwara.

The elder of the Teng family, the [-]th generation head of the Nijo family of the Fujiwara family.

His mother was Wanzi Toyotomi, and his adoptive father was Akimi Nijo, the elder brother of Michimi Matsuden and Kujo Dobo, who served as Minister of the Left and regent.

The Fujiwara family is the top surname in Japan. It has been active in Japanese politics for thousands of years and has unparalleled influence.

Everyone looked at him.

"Tokugawa Tadaga is not enough."

As soon as his words fell, the emperor Houshui breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously put down the paper fan in his hand.

The attitude is already clear.

Support the resistance to the shogunate, but need to win over more forces.

"How is Hosokawa?"

Tsuchimetai suggested.

The Hosokawa family lost their inheritance rights after the Battle of Sekigahara, and committed suicide after defeating the Tokugawa family in the Osaka Summer Battle.

Brother and brother.

The new heir, Tadori Hosokawa, entered Edo and became a hostage of the Tokugawa family.

Although the strength of the Hosokawa family is not as strong as before, it is still a family that should not be underestimated, otherwise the Tokugawa family would not treat it so seriously.

As long as the Hosokawa family supports the Kyoto Prefecture, tens of thousands of elite soldiers will be immediately available.

"Tadatoshi Hosokawa has an unclear attitude, so contacting him rashly may cause omissions."

Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang vetoed it.

The most experienced and oldest person, he is a living dictionary of the Kyoto Prefecture.

He explained to the crowd.

"Hosokawa Tadatoshi's close relatives to the Tokugawa family won the trust of Tokugawa Hidetada during his lifetime. Although Tokugawa Hidetada has passed away, I don't think he should take risks with his attitude towards the Tokugawa family."

"I don't think so."

Tsuchimetai objected aloud, since he proposed this person, of course he knew something about this person.

So he explained to everyone.

"It is precisely because the Tokugawa family is powerful that he chooses to forbear. It is just that he lacks an opportunity. We cannot give up trying to win him over just because of his appearance. It will be a great loss to us."

"If you don't win him over, if he supports the Tokugawa family, it means that we will lose the support of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, while the Tokugawa family will have tens of thousands more soldiers. One will ebb and flow, and the other will be at our disadvantage."

It was a battle in Osaka that year.

With so many deaths in the Hosokawa family, it is impossible not to have no hostility towards the Tokugawa family.

Tsuchimetai had contacted Hosokawa Tadori.

Whoever treats him as an ordinary young man will suffer a big loss.

Enthusiastic about martial arts since he was a child, he learned swordsmanship, became a representative of Yanagyu Xinyinliu with Nabeshima Motoshige.

Learning the art of war from the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, his various actions undoubtedly proved his ambition.

Coupled with the strong influence of the Hosokawa family, it is undoubtedly a force worth wooing, Tsuchimetai told everyone that they should take a risk with this person.

Everyone said what they said, and talked about the people that each family could win over.

Although the shogunate is powerful at the moment, the Kyoto Prefecture has existed for a thousand years after all. It has only been decades since the rise of the Samurai family, and the emperor's prestige has not completely declined.

If this were not the case, Tokugawa Hidetada, the second-generation shogun at the time, would not have chosen to back down, which shows that the emperor's strength has not dissipated.

After discussing everything, the rest of the people dispersed, leaving only three people.

There are light houses on Wanli Xiaolu, two Kangdao, Tuyumentai.

"About the assassination of Tokugawa Iemitsu in Kyoto Prefecture, are you sure?"

Emperor Hou Mizuo looked at everyone seriously.

It is disgraceful to assassinate the shogun.

It is a method that makes the samurai despise, but if it can be successful, the situation will change drastically.

The Kyoto government will overwhelm Edo, and the public will overwhelm the samurai family again to win the final victory.

"Tokugawa Tadacho is a man, and we will contribute in Kyoto Prefecture. When Tokugawa Iemitsu enters Nijo Castle, as long as everything is properly prepared, it will not be difficult."

Nijo Castle is the headquarters of the shogun in Kyoto.

Follow history.

When Tokugawa Iemitsu led 30 troops to Shangluo, he completely established the victory, took control of all the rights, and completely emptied the Queen of Heaven.

Even in such a situation, Tokugawa Iemitsu would not dare to take the risk of coming to Kyoto easily in the future.

In the next two or three hundred years.

The communication between the Tokugawa family and the emperor was through a middleman.

So now Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang has the confidence to say that as long as Tokugawa Iemitsu dares to enter Nijo Castle, he can do so.

Fujiwara's foundation is too thick.

There are too many people affected by them, and no one knows who will be theirs.

Since Ertiao City was in the capital, it was already infiltrated in their territory.

"As long as the assassination is successful, the infamy can be passed on to Tokugawa Tadaga. After all, they are all arranged by him, and he can't get rid of this pot."

Wanli Xiaolu Guangfang smiled like an old fox.

In the current situation, although the two sides have united, it does not mean that the alliance between the two parties will be as solid as a mountain.

At that time.

The emperor can issue an edict to expose Tadaga Tokugawa, order the world to attack him, and finally completely resolve the threat of the samurai.

"This matter needs to be cautious and must not be neglected."

Of course, Emperor Hou Mizuo could see the mystery, and he explained it to everyone expectantly, for fear that his success would fall short.

The crowd nodded.

In the wild, they can't help Tokugawa Iemitsu, but the capital is different, a warrior can turn the tables within ten steps.

~~~~~~
Liu Xianglian is a nobleman.

No matter how he warned himself that he needed to restrain himself, he still had the idea of ​​an aristocrat after all. He naturally believed that he should be loyal to the lives of soldiers.

The soldiers of the Jinjiang Army dared to fight, and the military orders were like mountains.

Based on what he knew about Jinjiang Town, the soldiers would not violate military orders, even if it was an act of sending them to death, let alone most of them didn't know about it.

Jiang Heng is a graduate of a military academy and even a soldier.

He felt the other party's thoughts from Liu Xianglian, so he could only smile helplessly, an ugly smile.

After going back.

He has no interest in talking to his colleagues, as if he has lost his mind.

"Why do you go out, like a different person, what happened?"

A colleague laughed.

Jiang Heng raised his head, grinned silently, and ignored the other party.

"Like a pussy, that's not like you."

The same robe pushed Jiang Heng as usual.

Both of them are sentry officers, both are graduates of the military academy, and they are still in the same class. They are not unfamiliar, but have a life-long friendship.

But the fateful friendship is never spoken out.

"You know what a fart, don't bother me."

Hearing Jiang Heng's words, the fellow was stunned, and finally patted his bald forehead, not bothering to pay attention to the other party, they are all old men, who has such a delicate mind.

It is the tradition of the Jinjiang army to have a bald head or an inch of hair.

When the barbarians became powerful, they all occupied Liaodong and shaved their heads.

For example, when Li Yongfang and others surrendered, they would take the initiative to shave their hair, including all surrendered troops.

Jinjiang Army's predecessor, Jinzhou Army.

After fleeing to Jinzhou, many people shaved their heads directly. In addition to the lack of supplies at that time, bald heads were not easy to get lice, so they gradually kept them.

up to now.

Soldiers of the Jinjiang Army have become accustomed to shaving their heads.

The room fell silent.

Jiang Heng sat on a chair, silently touching his military badge.

Are you afraid of death?

His eyes were gradually fascinated, thinking about death.

When he usually goes to the battlefield, he seldom thinks about this problem, and he doesn't have time to think about whether he is afraid of death. When he sees the enemy, he just follows the robes and others to kill the enemy.

There is life and death.

But now someone told him that he would definitely die, in an environment outside the battlefield.

It made him miserable.

Especially in his free time now, he couldn't control his mind, and all kinds of complaining thoughts kept coming up.

But he couldn't help it.

Liu Xianglian is an aristocrat from China, deeply trusted by the general, and the experience of the fourth town, and the soldiers have talked about this person.

From the other party, he felt the other party's thoughts.

right?

That's right.

Are you convinced?
Why.

Why is it me.

Most of the fast classes at the beginning of the military academy were orphans in the army.The further you go, the smaller the proportion of orphans.

Jiang Heng's father, like Ma Lin, Gao Zhen and other veterans, chose to retire and went to the ordnance station to do business.

He knew Zhu Chun, the son of Zongbing Zhu Xiu, Wu Bin, the son of Zongbing Wuzhen and Meng, Ma Dafang, the son of veteran Ma Lin, and Gao Changfang, the son of Gao Zhen.

They had a good relationship back then, and they were the first batch of full-year military students in the military academy, unlike Li Rujing and the others.

They have a common character and are full of hope.

Jiang Heng is different from Ma Dafang, Gao Changfang and others. He has been influenced by missionaries such as Wang Fengsu, and his vision has been broadened. He is still unmarried and devoted himself to his future.

How could he be convinced with such ambition.

But he had no choice.

As Liu Xianglian thought, military orders are like mountains.

"Damn it."

Jiang Heng cursed angrily, there was nothing he could do.

……

Day two.

Peng Dahai is here.

I personally came to inspect the fifty elites, and they were full of morale. They didn't know their mission yet, and they had hope in their hearts.

It's not like they haven't fought tough battles before.

Participated in the most dangerous siege battles.

Peng Dahai carefully looked at everyone's expressions, proud and reluctant.

As one of the most senior generals in Jinzhou, he fought from Jinzhou to Zhenjiang, from Zhenjiang to the guerrilla zone, and from the guerrilla zone to the large corps.

Under his command, nearly [-] Jin Jiang troops were killed or injured.

To say that he is cold-blooded, he has enough tenacity.

But the soldiers still believed him.

Because he loves soldiers like children.

It is because of this trust that the soldiers go forward bravely, regardless of swords and guns, not just because he is a general.

The soldiers trusted him to lead them to victory and bring them back alive.

Very contradictory.

Every war will kill people, but the soldiers still believe that they can come back alive.

So Peng Dahai didn't like Liu Xianglian's plan very much.

Because Liu Xianglian's plan is not the battlefield that soldiers should have, at least, it doesn't leave hope for the soldiers.

Not familiar with Japan.

He only knows that knowing himself and the enemy will win every battle, so he can only choose to adopt Liu Xianglian's plan, who made Liu Xianglian risk his life and travel in Japan for two years.

At last.

Peng Dahai left Jiang Heng behind.

Looking at Jiang Heng in front of him, Peng Dahai felt extremely reluctant.

This is his favorite sentinel.

It is precisely because he likes him the most and believes that he is the most reliable and capable, Peng Dahai chose Jiang Heng as the leader, handed it over to Liu Xianglian, and revealed the plan to him.

"I see that your complexion is not very good."

Peng Dahai laughed.

An ordinary sentence.

Will make Jiang Heng grumble aggrievedly.
