The afternoon sun shines brightly on the sea of ??Miyazu Bay.
Because of the Tango Peninsula, Miyazu Bay is surrounded by an inland sea called the Aso Sea.
Speaking of Aso Sea, the most famous one is Amanohashidate, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan.
Amanohashidate is a beautiful scenery that has been famous in Japan since the Heian period.
At that time, a waka singer, the Nvfang Thirty-six Singers, a chamberlain in the Oshikibu department composed a waka: "My mother lived far away from the great rivers and mountains, and she traveled thousands of miles across the countryside. It is difficult to reach the Amanohashi Tower to look up, and it is even more sad that the letters were never sent."
The shape of Amanohashidate is like a sand embankment across the sea, connecting one end of the island to the other, but it is completely natural.
There are pine trees on the bridge that are more than a hundred years old, and the sea breeze makes a soft rustling sound.
Under the parasol held by the attendant, Li Xiao, wearing loose clothes and wooden clogs, sat on a horse, closing his eyes and listening to the wind-like sound.
On the beach not far away, Li Yun¡¯s happy laughter rang out.
The days after retirement are really leisurely!
Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh. When he opened his eyes, he saw four people on the beach, Yumi Kohata, Yusada Kohata, Nami Usami, and Kikuhime, accompanying Li Yun and piling sand on the beach.
It¡¯s really a scene where three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are enjoying themselves.
Not long ago, people in hunting clothes approached, walking in twos and threes on the hillside, on guard.
It seems that there are not many people, but in reality, they are heavily guarded. On the first level, there are also 20 Mefubu masters of Omefu Sasaki Kojiro. And intensive surveillance by ninjas.
And the newly ennobled daimyo of Tango Kingdom, Yusa Sumitsu, was also flattering, and sent five hundred ashigaru to come over to clear the place and guard it.
This will ensure that Li Xiao¡¯s travel is safe and worry-free.
This is simply the scale of Obama¡¯s tour.
Li Xiao looked at Li Yun with a cheerful look, and a smile appeared on his face. At this moment, his teacher, Kazuha Oka, reported to Li Xiao that he was the guardian of Ueno Country. Nobuyuki Sanada, and his wife, Li Xiao¡¯s daughter Mingchuan, came together to pay their respects.
After hearing that his daughter was coming, he couldn't help but smile. He hadn't seen Mingchuan for a long time.
Li Xiao doted on his daughter far more than his two sons.
But when he heard that Sanada had come to visit, Li Xiao thought about the current situation. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Soon after, Nobuyuki Sanada and Aikawa came together.
Sanada Nobuyuki immediately presented Li Xiao with a gift from Ueno Country, and he and Mingchuan sat on a horse next to him.
"The Xiaoban sisters were also very happy when they heard that Mingchuan was coming.
Xiao Ban Yuzhen came up directly holding the three-year-old Li Yun in her arms.
After the whole family talked for a while, Mingchuan went elsewhere with his mother. Tell me how you feel about not coming.
On the hillside, only Li Xiao, Sanada Nobuyuki and his son-in-law were left.
Li Xiao took a deep look at the backs of Yumi Kobata and Aikawa, then turned to look at Nobuyuki Sanada. He said: "Yes, Mr. Daifu, the Central Affairs Bureau, asked you to come?"
Sanada Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Mr. Yakata, my son-in-law is here this time. It is indeed on the order of his father. Of course, there are also many important ministers of the family and the help of famous people from various countries. But in my heart, my son-in-law is here. Of course I also want to see my father-in-law."
Li Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Then for the sake of your honesty, just tell me the purpose of coming here."
Nobuyuki Sanada was a little embarrassed when Li Xiao said this. Although he has inherited his father's position and serves as the guardian of Ueno Kingdom, a position in the shogunate, he still feels uneasy in front of Li Xiao.
Sanada Nobuyuki said something he had already prepared: "It's about this time, the Iga expedition presided over by Lord Chaozue."
Sure enough, this is the matter. Li Xiao secretly thought.
Sanada Nobuyuki said: "It is not impossible to pacify Iga, but this action will require too much force. We must mobilize the troops of various countries. It is expected that a force of 150,000 troops will be deployed to annihilate the Iga country."
"Besides, Chao Yue Gong issued a killing order. No grass will grow in Ihe, no one will be left alive, and the world has just been settled, so this is the only way to do it. All the retainers feel that this is too violent."
Sanada Nobuyuki said briefly and comprehensively.
Li Xiao deeply sympathizes with Takeda Nobushige. The land of Iga-Koka is a chaotic situation, just like the bandits who were entrenched in the mountains. Normal encirclement and suppression are ineffective at all.
Relying on the mountains of Koga and Iga, facing ordinary encirclement and suppression, the ninjas can be cunning and launch counterattacks.
? ??It is because Takeda Nobushige's layout is so large this time that he wants to conduct a dragnet-style search and truly realize the conquest and killing of Iga-Koga without leaving any trace.
Use thunderous means to completely solve the cancer that has plagued Iga Koga for hundreds of years.
But the strategic method was correct, but the big names were required to deploy so many troops, and it was a brutal massacre, which made many people feel chilled in their hearts.
Such violent behavior is rare.
Takeda Nobushige is reminiscent of Nobunaga's cruel killing methods towards Ichimon.
Sanada Nobuyuki¡¯s voice pulled Li Xiao¡¯s thoughts back.
I only heard Sanada Nobuyuki say: "All the retainers of our family, the daimyo of various countries, and even His Royal Highness the Imperial Guard General came forward to dissuade Duke Chaoyue. But this time, Duke Chaoyue seemed to have made up his mind and would not change it, and ordered the military strength of all the daimyo. We must arrive in Kinki before September and start the conquest of Iga, otherwise we will all cut off the fiefdoms."
"So, gentlemen, I think that at this moment, only Yakata-den is the only one in the world who can possibly dissuade Duke Chaoyue from doing this. Therefore, please ask me to come and pay homage to Lord Yakata."
After listening to Sanada Nobuyuki explain all the reasons for his visit, Li Xiao thought of how cruel Takeda Nobushige was. Such methods of massacre without distinction of target made him feel cruel.
Takeda Nobushige wanted to balance the success of this Iga expedition with the fact that he could use this attack to strengthen his control over various countries.
Takeda Nobushige also approved this Iga expedition to strengthen his appeal to the world's great names.
Even if Li Xiao wants to stop it, it may be difficult to stop Takeda Nobushige's decision, unless he is willing to come forward and fall out with the Takeda family at this moment.
???????????? At that time, it will cause a civil war in the Takeda family, but the killing will be ten times more than this expedition.
Li Xiao said slowly: "I have been retired for almost a year. I have handed over all power to the generals of the Imperial Guard. I am no longer concerned with worldly affairs."
Hearing what Li Xiao said, Sanada Nobuyuki hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Master Yakata, please think of the common people!"
Sanada Nobuyuki's kneeling immediately attracted Kohata Yumi, Aikawa and the others to turn their attention to this place.
There are not many people in the world who can make Li Xiao care about what the other person thinks, but his wife and daughter are definitely the two most important ones.
At that moment, Li Xiao stepped forward to help Sanada Nobuyuki up, and said angrily: "You also know that after I retired, I even shied away from the official positions granted by the imperial court. The affairs at home were also handed over to General Konoe. But I can In private, I wrote to Duke Chao Yue to dissuade this matter."
"Thank you, Mr. Yakata." Sanada Nobuyuki expressed his gratitude.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "However, this letter is written in my own name. The position of our family is still decided by General Konoe. As for whether Chao Yue Gong agrees or not, it depends on him. It¡¯s personal.¡±
Sanada Nobuyuki also looked happy after hearing this, and Obata Yumi and Aikawa also showed smiles.
Now for Li Xiao, the happiness of his wife and children is his happiness.
Now that the family is reunited, Li Xiao is also very happy.
Li Xiao immediately ordered people to prepare a feast to entertain the arrival of his daughter and son-in-law, and summoned people to rush to Tanba Kamesama Castle to call Li Yong together.
A feast is a feast, but in Li Xiao's heart, he has a premonition that this Iga expedition may lead to a terrifying turmoil in the future.
The autumn of the eighth year of Tianzheng has arrived as promised.
Despite the overwhelming opposition from people all over the world, Takeda Nobushige's conquest of Koga and Iga was carried out in his own way.
???????????????????????In addition to the Li family, the Maori family launched a war against the Changzong family, but was not dispatched.
The Kanto daimyo, such as Hojo, Date, Satake, Utsunomiya, Yuki, Osaki, Shiba, Soma, and even Mutsu, Anton and Nanbu, close to Hokkaido, all sent their troops thousands of miles away.
And the feudal lords of the Takeda clan did not hesitate and immediately mobilized their troops.
The momentum of the battle this time was so great that even the forty-nine families of the Northern Ise, those wealthy families who had been at odds with the Takeda family, were also waiting for the wind to change.
One by one, they rushed to Kyoto and cried bitterly in front of Takeda Nobushige, hoping to be pardoned.
In order to show tolerance, Takeda Nobushige only carried out a few land cuts on these wealthy family heads as a punishment, and most of them were given security measures.
Of course, there are still two major forces of the Kii Kingdom that are not convinced by Wang Hua, the Genlaizhong and the Zahezhong. However, they are wary of the momentum of the Takeda family sending troops, so they also send people to Kyoto to take care of the ministers, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the royal family. I hope they can say it in front of Takeda Nobushige.Two good words.
As the parties involved, the ninjas of Iga and Koga, as well as the leaders of the various villages, knew that this time was likely to be a disaster, and immediately sent people to express their obedience to Takeda Nobushige, but they were all treated harshly by Takeda Nobushige. reject.
To the Iga and Koga forces, Takeda Nobushige has only one sentence: Go home and wash your neck and wait.
Faced with Takeda Nobushige's murderous intention, some of the ninjas in Iga-Koka planned to escape over the mountains, but they found that they were at various intersections leading to the outside world.
Takeda Nobushige ordered Takeda Noburen, Oyamada Nobumoge, Ito Noburyu, and Mochizuki Nobunaga to each lead their own forces and blocked all roads to prevent anyone from entering. Anyone who went out would be killed on the spot.
This time the passage to Iga-Kaga was really blocked.
In the end, this massive Iga attack was launched. With many members of the Takeda family tree and many outsiders, plus the daimyo who came from various countries, the total military strength reached a total of 160,000 troops.
And their target is just a small place, the country of Koga and Iga, which is only a hundred thousand koku.
