Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ijuin Tadayaro's mood was complicated, from sadness at first to surprise later. Yes, he had lived for more than half a century, and this was the first time he encountered such a strange thing.  The identities of him and the other party were worlds apart, but the other party had the patience to have a deep conversation with him. There must be something he didn't know about, and the other party must have something he wanted. This was what surprised him the most.

    Ijuin Taday身 was puzzled that Masahiro had to lower his status to treat a retainer of a foreign domain with such courtesy, and even talked to him in a sincere tone and revealed important confidential information.

    To say the least, even if Masahiro has foresight and wants to win over the Shimazu family in Minami Kyushu and let the Shimazu family, Ito and Kanfu monitor each other, there is absolutely no need to build a relationship with him.

    If Masahira wanted to use his words to convey his goodwill to the three generations of Shimazu Tadayoshi, Takahisa, and Yoshitsune, there is absolutely no need. You must know that Masahira is the hero of the world, and Shimazu Tadayoshi, Takahisa  The three generations of Yoshihisa and his ancestors are just heroes in a corner, and the status and strength of the two sides are worlds apart.  What's more, the Shimazu family rejected Zhengheng's goodwill twice and did not give Zhengheng a good look. Zhengheng should have become angry because of his embarrassment. Why did they treat him with such courtesy?

    Masahira's abnormal behavior not only puzzled Ijuin Tadayaro, but also puzzled the Kuroda Kanbei and attendants who were serving in the living room.  Kuroda Kanbei looked at Ijuin Taday身 with surprised eyes from time to time, secretly guessing Masahira's intentions.

    Masahira smiled faintly and suddenly asked: "Yamato Mamoru, it is rumored that the four sons of Shimadzu are called the "Four Tigers", but is it true?"

    Ijuin Tadayaro was very nervous. He originally thought that Masahira would ask about confidential information about the Shimadzu family, but he didn't know whether to say it or not. If he said it, he would betray the Shimadzu family and violate the moral principles of decades.  There is no guarantee that what you say will be rejected.  Unexpectedly, he actually talked to me about Shimazu Takahisa's four sons. Shimazu Yoshihisa, Yoshihiro, Suiku, and Iehisa were indeed known as the "Four Tigers".  He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly replied: "Sir, I do have the nickname of the Four Tigers, but it is just nonsense spoken by country people. Please forgive me."

    ??Zhengheng said with a smile: "So it's true. I wonder if Yamato asked the repairman after returning to the country if he would like his second son Matashiro to come to Kokura Castle and become my bodyguard?"

    There is a saying in the Warring States Period: "Shimazu has no dark master."  The Shimazu clan of the station country, who is known for being a good king and good general, has never lacked outstanding talents. Takahisa's planning, Yoshihisa's strategies, years of wisdom, and Iehisa's military expeditions, all of them are heroic in a moment.  However, Shimazu Yoshihiro was able to rise to fame from a military general, stand out, and then shock the Japanese country and become famous overseas. He experienced fierce battles in his life, and he was always able to turn things around and create a record when he was on the verge of extinction and the revolution was completely wiped out.  One after another, war miracles astonished future generations.  However, later research shows that there are many criticisms about whether Shimazu Yoshihiro is really worthy of the name of the God of War. After all, in addition to helping his brother win several decisive battles, his other records are really criticized.

    Ijuin Taday身 was shocked for a moment, but he soon felt relieved. It turned out that this was the other party's intention, and it was not beyond his expectation. He agreed to send Ichiko to serve as a hostage.

    Yes, Tadayo Ijuin is in favor of sending his son as a hostage. As a weak person, he must learn the attitude of a weak person and cannot be tough and stubborn towards the strong. This will only bring disaster to the Shimazu family.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  In his eyes, although Shimazu Yoshihisa is also very outstanding, he is insufficient compared to Shimazu Yoshihiro.  If it is time to forge ahead, Shimazu Yoshihiro will be a good helper.  But in the future, the Shimazu family will conquer Satsuma Country, and there will be no more major wars.  As a result, letting the fierce-tempered Yoshihiro Shimazu stay at home is a great danger to his brother Yoshihisa Shimazu. Who knows when Yoshihiro Shimazu will go crazy and do something terrible.

    Ijuin Taday身 still had a good vision. Historically, before the Sekigahara War broke out, Shimazu Yoshihisa insisted on a neutral policy, but Yoshihiro insisted on participating in the war and even joined the Western Army, which had a low chance of winning.  In the end, we had to rely on Shimazu Yoshihisa's diplomatic measures, coupled with Tokugawa Ieyasu's concern about the Shimadzu family's influence in Kyushu, and the intercession of Tokugawa family elder Ii Naomasa, to save the Shimazu family.

    Ijuin Taday身 was a staunch loyalist in the Shimazu family, but he also paid a bloody price for his actions.

    His grandson Ijuin Tad身 was naturally tabooed by Shimazu Yoshihiro and Tadashi and his son because he was loyal to Shimazu Yoshihisa, and they planned a killing plan.  After the death of Ijuin Tadashi, his son Ijuin Taduma was angry and raised a rebellion in the Shonai territory, and finally reconciled under the mediation of Tokugawa Ieyasu.  However, three years later, Ijuin Tadama was also killed by Shimazu Tadashi, completely erasing the mark of Shimazu Yoshihisa's faction.  Then they wantonly smeared Ijuin Tad身 and Tadama and his son, saying that they were members of the Shimadzu family.??Nie Chen.

    ??????????? If Ijuin Tad身 and Taduma and his son are sycophants, then is Shimazu Yoshihisa, whom they are loyal to, a coward?  Shimazu Tadahashi's abacus is quite good.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Ijuin Taday身 left Kokura Castle with Masahira＊s request.

    Masahiro smiled and said to Kuroda Kanbei: "Tell me, how will they respond?"

    Kuroda Kanbei asked: "Is it about the hostages?"

    Zheng Heng chuckled, "Do you even think so?"

    Kuroda Kanbei looked at Zhengheng noncommittally. He really couldn't think of any other intention, so he could only reply: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but please clarify my doubts, my lord."

    Masahiro said seriously: "Since you all think so, I'm afraid even they can't figure out my intentions. Although the Shimazu family is a small sect living in a corner, the Shimazu family has been famous since the Kamakura shogunate era.  Jun Liangshang is one of the few famous families in the Kyushu region. Moreover, the world is changing, and if the Shimazu family is not tightly controlled, there will be huge variables for the future of Japan."

    Zhengheng thought that the Shimazu family was the main force in the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, but Kuroda Kanbei thought wrongly. He heard Zhengheng's words about the future of Japan and the changes in world affairs, which made him think of moving south and west again.

    Kuroda Kanbei knew that Masahira intended to go south.

    The Shimazu family is located at the southernmost tip of Japan, and it is inseparable from the strategy of going south. Moreover, if the Shimazu family is used to invade the Ryukyu Kingdom, they can take advantage of the situation to intervene. If not, they can get rid of the blame on the grounds that the Shimazu family acted privately.
