Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Koukokuji Shifeng, Kirigakure Shikanemon, Deura Morikiyoshi and Yokotani Yukishige are the four great jonins of the Yamato Ninja Army under Hideho's command. Among them, Kokokuji Tradefaze is responsible for Kanto, Yokotani Yukishige is responsible for Zhongshan (Koshinyoshi), and Kirigakure  Shikanemon is in charge of Konkoku, and Deura Morikiyoshi is in charge of the Western Kingdom. The four of them control nearly 200 chuunin and genin respectively. They are the most important components of Hideho's national intelligence network.  As the leader of the Konki Ninja Army, Kirigakure Shikaemon is responsible for monitoring and investigating the intelligence of all Konki cities, including Osaka. When they heard that Hideho wanted to summon him, the retainers felt confused.  "My lord summoned Shikaemon, did he want to send ninjas to assassinate him" Ogasawara Takakiyo asked cautiously.  "Assassination? Do you think I want to kill Ishida Harubu?" Hideho was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Although it is an idea, the rumors we have to face with this knife are not something you and I can bear.  , I won¡¯t give those guys hiding in the dark an opportunity.¡± ¡°In that case, why would my lord use ninjas?¡± ¡°I want them to bring three letters into the city.¡± Hideho replied with a smile.  "Who is the letter to?" Todo Takatora asked curiously.  Hideho replied without thinking: "Manano Yorihiro, Nomura Yukinari and Kinoshita Katsutoshi are the only three people." Manano Yorihiro and Nomura Yukinari are familiar to everyone. They are veterans of Hideyoshi's era and have always been members of the Seven Hands Team.  Head, has a high status in Osaka Castle.  Because of this, neither the former Osamu Osamu nor the current Ishida Mitsunari dared to remove the two from the Seven Hands Group. This influence is evident.  Kinoshita Katsutoshi is the eldest son of Kodaiin's brother Kinoshita Iedada, and is also the elder brother of Kinoshita Nobutoshi, Kobayakawa Hideaki and others. Currently, he owns 80,000 koku from Wakasa Goaseyama Castle, and he is one of the few daimyo around Kodaiin.  one.  Hearing that Hideho wanted to write a letter to these people, the retainers all stared at each other, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.  "Although Manano Yorihiro and Nomura Yukinari are the leaders of the Seven Hands Group, they are different from the other five." Hideho analyzed: "In the last Osaka Rebellion, these two men stationed their generals at Imafukuzhai while they went to the west.  Noomaru protected Kodaiin and did not participate in Ohno's rebellion from beginning to end. This shows that the two are at least neutral on the surface, or can be said to be close to Kodaiin, which is different from other group leaders. " "Mashima Mitsuyoshi.  Both Sagishima Takayoshi were promoted by Ishida Harubu, so they can be classified into the same category," Todo Takatora added.  "So, Ito Nagami, Matsuura Hidehito, and Gun Muneho are considered to be in the same category?" Shima Kiyosaki asked rhetorically.  "It cannot be said that these three people, including Hayami Morihisa, are all loyal to Hideyori. They cannot be counted as one faction, nor can they be said to be several factions. During the Osaka Rebellion, Matsuura Hidehito's attitude towards Hayami Morihisa can explain the problem.  , Hayami Morihisa is smooth and sophisticated, and I can¡¯t see the depth for the moment, but Matsuura Hidehito, who has a straightforward personality, does not hide his distrust and fear of the family at all. Therefore, we don¡¯t need to completely win over or consider the Seven Hands Group, as long as we can get it.  The support of two or three people is enough," Hideho explained to everyone.  "Then my lord, you mean to use the relationship between Kodaiin and persuade the two to defect?" Ogasawara Takakiyo seemed to understand Hideho's intention.  Unexpectedly, Hideho shook his head: "I don't plan to go through Kodaiin, but I want to send ninjas to deliver the letter directly to the two of them." "Isn't it too risky to do this? What if they give the letter to Ishida  I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our family if we govern the department." Ogasawara Takakiyo said with a frown, and several other retainers also expressed their concerns.  "This kind of worry is unnecessary." To reassure everyone, Hideho explained patiently: "During the Osaka Rebellion, the reason why Mano and Nomura dared to remain neutral was because they didn't have to worry. Even if they didn't take action, Ohnoji  Naga did not dare to use limited troops to fight them. Moreover, Ohno's plan was full of loopholes, and there was no chance of winning on his side. On the other hand, although Kodaiin lost power, it was still a symbol of the Toyotomi clan, and guarding her was also  To keep yourself safe. In addition, after the war, the two of them came into contact with the family through Gaotaiyuan, which is worthy of contact. From the above, it can be seen that the two are not only 'smart' and cherish their lives, but more importantly, they are very aware of current affairs.  Speaking of which, guarding the Gaotaiyuan before was considered a gesture of goodwill to our family?" Todo Takatora asked.  "Yes, after all, if a small name like this wants to contact the family, he must first consider whether he has the qualifications. After guarding the Gaotaiyuan, he had contact and contact with the family. This is their attitude; later  During the evaluation, I won for them a seal of 25,000 koku from the southern part of Fufu County, which can be regarded as reciprocating the favor. Although we had no further contact because of the expedition to Aizu, we already had a tacit understanding.This guy is not a fool. At that time, Osamu Ono had thousands of troops in his hands. Without the support of strong daimyo, he could not succeed at all. Their so-called "neutrality" was just to save their lives. Although Osamu Ishida in the city now has many more troops than Ohno at that time.  Young, but facing this family, it is like mantis trying to control his chariot. As long as the two of them have some sense, they will not stand stupidly on his side. Moreover, as the lord said, they got along well with my family before, so there is no need to raise such eyebrows.  "After listening to Hideho's words, Shima Kiyoshi and others were relieved. "But my lord, if that's the case, why did you write to Kinoshita Katsutoshi? It was he who cooperated with the Maori army to blow up the Fushimi Castle wall.  , causing heavy losses to our army, it is no exaggeration to say that he was the culprit in the loss of Fushimi.  "Aoki Toshiki, the son of Aoki Kazuki, has long hated Kinoshita Katsutoshi. His father stayed behind as Fushimi and almost died because of him. If this guy hadn't fled to Nishinomaru early to seek refuge in Kodaiin, he might have died in Aoki.  The clan's sword fell. Hideho reached out and patted Toshiki Aoki on the shoulder, and persuaded him: "It is precisely because he committed such a heinous crime that I want to write to him. Compared with Mano and Nomura, this direct descendant of the Kinoshita family  The eldest son has no other choice but to cooperate with his family to open the city gate.  " "But my lord, this guy only has more than a hundred people, how could he" Toshiki Aoki was still doubtful. "Then tell me, how did he, with more than a hundred people, support the Maori army to capture Fushimi?  of?  "Hideho smiled and said: "Kodaiin's Nishinomaru is close to Sannomaru. As long as he can deceive the door of Sannomaru, Ishida Jibu will be helpless.  Moreover, this time is different from Fushimi. I will not let him blow up the city wall, but let him contact Manou and Nomura in Marunouchi to protect and coordinate and act according to the situation.  "
