Heroes and villains appear together, and rough guys and villains stand side by side.
Brothers today are enemies tomorrow, the drums of the Onin Rebellion are still ringing in our ears, and the decline of the shogunate has left many ambitious people with illusions. They calculate and speculate among themselves, all eager to win the final hegemony.
Miyoshi Nagakei, who was closest to the position of the world, died unexpectedly. Date Masahiro, who achieved great success on his body, defeated the Otomo clan, the largest overlord in the Kyushu region, in one fell swoop. The leader of the Otomo clan, Otomo Yoshizhin, died in sorrow and anger, and the others asked to surrender. .
October 3, the third year of Tianzheng (1563).
Bungo, the inner city of the mansion.
This main city that originally belonged to the Otomo clan has regained some peace after a night of turmoil after the death of Otomo Yizhen, and the key symbolizing the power of Fuuchi City was also handed over to the hands of the commander of the Shikoku Army, Noyama Masutomo. Masahira finally became a child. Cangcheng was moved to Fucheng as the new main formation.
The first enlarged military and political meeting of the Date Army's Kyushu Battle was held as scheduled on the third day after Zhengheng settled in the inner city of the prefecture. It had a sense of merit and reward. All the retainers who attended the meeting were also smiling. This is When they are happiest.
¡°However, the expressions on the faces of the Kyushu local tycoons who were fortunate enough to participate in the meeting were varied. Some were sad, some were happy, and some were expressionless. No one knew how the Date family would deal with them. But no one dared to show indignation, for fear of causing trouble. Thinking about it, in just a few months, the seemingly powerful Otomo clan was destroyed. The arrogant Otomo Yizhen died of worry and anger. Everyone knows that they want to continue to exist. , and even if you want to further expand your power, you must surrender to the Date family.
Even if the Date family's retainers are not close to each other, they can still talk and laugh. However, the powerful people present have enmity between each other. It can even be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea. If the Date family hadn't been watching with eagerness, no one would have guaranteed it. I don't know if a murder will happen.
No matter what everyone thinks, the topic will never leave today¡¯s topic and the host of the meeting, Date Masahiro. So, what is our protagonist Date Masahiro doing now?
As mentioned in the previous article, the inner city of the mansion is divided into inner and outer parts. The hall temporarily used as a conference room is located in the outer city. Zhengheng is now in the inner city. As far as the Sengoku samurai are concerned, he is naturally the ideal samurai, but he is not without shortcomings. He is very lustful and has almost no control over beautiful women. Needless to say, the Xiaojiabiyu in his territory, even the wandering girls near the battlefield, as long as they are beautiful, they will never escape his clutches after being seen by him.
It is well known that Zheng Heng likes wives.
In order to preserve the Naido clan, in the name of protecting Changshou Maru and Jiro, Naido Kanki persuaded Mrs. Naido, the widow of Otomo Yizhen, to come to his bed. Although Mrs. Naido was the mother of two children, she was very well-maintained, but a little bit. Haggard.
On the second night that Zheng Heng stayed in the inner city of the mansion, Mrs. Naido was sent to the inner city and lay on Zheng Heng's bed.
Zhengheng did not let down Naido Kanki's good intentions. He knew that Naido Kanki alone could not make the decision in this matter, nor could he bear the responsibility. There must be veterans of the Otomo family behind him. Zhengheng was just pushing the boat along. That's all, I hope the people of Dayou's family will be at peace.
Although Zheng Heng was fond of wives, he was not so lustful, otherwise he would not have been able to earn such a large fortune. Mrs. Naido is well-maintained, and her appearance is only above average. If it weren't for her special status and an extra level of points, she might not even be above average.
However, Zhengheng also knew that if he sent Mrs. Naido out of the city that night, or slept in a different bed, Otomo's surviving ministers who sent Mrs. Naido out of the city would definitely be panicked. You must know that Zhengheng's former reputation was not very good. good.
Masahira has only paid attention to his reputation and integrity in recent years. It can be said that he has done bad things before, and he has done things to eradicate them. He even did the evil thing of taking away his wife and killing his son. Naito Hisanoukata and Mouri Yuksurumaru Just one example.
Of course, the real Mouri Koukurumaru has died at the hands of Tsuda Sukegoro. The one who is alive now is just a counterfeit who replaced the raccoon cat with a prince, but it is unknown to outsiders. Moreover, even the only person involved has been killed in the battle. Battle of Shangluo.
In the eyes of outsiders, Masahira took Naito Toshiyuki as his side chamber and entrusted Mouri Yukukurumaru to the old monk Zhu Yunhuixin to raise him. This can be said to have preserved the blood of the Moori clan. You must know that the Moori family was in fierce battle with Masahira. An enemy for several years. What's more, Date Masahiro's father, Munehira, died in the battle of Yoshida County Yamashiro, and his brother Nobuhira also died in the border harassment war with the Mori family. It can be said that they all died directly and indirectly from the Mori family. hand.
However, it was the death of Date Munehira and Nobuhira and his son at the hands of the Mori family that released the beast of Date Masahiro from the cage.
Since Naito Toshiyuki¡¯s prescription?Nizhengheng, Mouri Yukukurumaru can survive. In the eyes of Otomo's widow, if Mrs. Naido is sacrificed, Changshou Maru and Jiro will have a great chance of surviving. As long as the banner of the Dayou family still exists, they can continue to exist. Otherwise, they will definitely fall apart and have to beg for food and rely on others. How can they live like today.
For Masahiro, in fact, letting the Otomo family continue to exist has more advantages than disadvantages for him. You must know that it is no longer the time for him to kill Mouri Yukukurumaru. At that time, his territory was only a few countries, and now most of it All the Japanese countries are in his pocket.
Moreover, Kyushu is far away from the center, and the army will return to Osaka Castle soon. He can only place some retainers in the Kyushu area. However, it is still early for these people, and it is very difficult for them to take root in a short period of time. Able to take advantage of the contradictions between powerful forces in different places.
Among them, let the Otomo family not completely fall apart, and let Mrs. Naido live in the house, and adopt Changshou Maru and Jiro as adopted sons. Since they are adopted sons, they must be raised by their side. In this way, the most important area in the Kyushu region is in Date. Under the control of the family, it is bound to be stable.
In the inner city, Mrs. Naido is dressing Zheng Heng in Wu clothes. Her whole body is soft and soft, her eyes are watery and charming, and even her actions seem to have an alluring rhythm. A satisfied smile appeared on Zheng Heng's face. Seeing Zheng Heng's happy smile, Mrs. Naido finally let go of most of the worries in her heart. However, she did not dare to show any neglect in her hands as she arranged Zheng Heng's clothes.
Zhengheng gently stroked her hair, suppressed the fire in his heart, and whispered: "As long as you treat me well, I will treat your two children as my own and raise them to adulthood. .¡±
Mrs. Naido finally agreed, her eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground facing Zheng Heng who was leaving.
