Chaos in Nine States
Chapter 268 Kyushu Chaos
And behind Tsushaki Sanzhicheng, there was Togawa Hidean, who was the old writer of the family. Seeing that the two of them came to report together, the Xiu family must have something important to do.
Therefore, the Hide family did not let Tsushek Sanzhicheng and Togawa Hidean report outside, but asked them to suppress the information first, and report it to themselves when they returned to the front hall.
After the Xiu family was seated, Togawa Hidean sat down at the Xiu family, handed over the bamboo tube containing the information to Shimizu Shinya, and then forwarded it to the Xiu family, and said, "Your Highness, Otomo Zonglin from Kyushu has set off half a month ago and is ready to go to Seeing Guan Bai in person in Osaka, we will pass by Bizen in two days after calculating the time. A document was sent from Osaka, asking us to be as hospitable as possible."
"Major General Zuo Konoe actually came to Osaka in person?" Hideyoshi opened the document and read it carefully. It turned out that Hideyoshi asked the daimyo along the way to take good care of Otomo Zonglin's diet.
The Xiu family remembers that Otomo Zonglin did go to Luo in person in history, but that time was 1586. At that time, Otomo's family had just experienced a large-scale rebellion of Chikuzen's retainers. The old Takahashi Shaoyun died in battle, and the situation was on the verge of collapse.
Unexpectedly, it is only 1585 now, and Otomo Zonglin couldn't hold back anymore, and went to Luo early.
You must know that the Otomo family is a famous family in Kyushu. At its peak, it occupied Bungo, Bungzen, Chikuzen, Chikugo Shikoku, Hizen, Higo, and Hyuga. But except for Shimadzu’s Satsuma Osumi, Kyushu was touched by him. pass.
Normally speaking, the Otomo family's unification of Kyushu is already unstoppable, but at this time, it happened to meet the Maoli family who had just eliminated the Nizi family but didn't want to go to Luo.
Facing Maori families of equal size, Otomo's family had to deal with it with all their strength, and this dozen lasted for more than ten years.
Restricted by the Maori family, the power of the Otomo family has been weakened to a certain extent, but it is still the strongest daimyo in Kyushu.
The turning point occurred in the Battle of Goseong Ercheon in 1578.Yoshisuke Ito, the Hinata daimyo who was defeated by the Shimadzu family last year, fled to the home of his in-laws Otomo.
If this is the case, the Otomo family has no pure reason to launch an attack on Shimadzu for Ito Yoshisuke. The real flash point of the conflict between the two families is because of Kitahinata's tyrannical and powerful family attitude.
The Dochi family was originally a subordinate daimyo of the Otomo family, and owned the territory of Kitahinata, while Chuhinata and Minamihinata were the territories of the in-laws of the Ito family.
It is precisely because of having two trustworthy allies that the Otomo family can safely attack Hizen and resist the Mori family's offensive.The relationship between Dochi, Ito and Otomo is like the alliance between Oda and Matsudaira.
You must know that the Mori family, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, was determined to invade Kyushu at that time. It was precisely because of the existence of the Otomo family that Kyushu was not affected by external forces.
But at this moment, the Shimadzu family actually poached the corner of the Otomo family from behind, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Ito family, and contacted the Dochi family to attack Hyuga from the north and the south.
How could the Doji family, who had been holding back for decades, finally seized the opportunity to expand, and no matter whether the Ito family was the in-laws of their master, they directly joined the ranks of gnawing on the body of the Ito family.
Maybe it's because the Doji family opened their eyes during the battle against the Ito family.
After destroying the Ito family, the Doji family, who should have taken on the task of shielding, turned directly to the Shimadzu family and became its fortress in Kitahinata.
The key point is that the Doji family is still very thieves. At first, they still bowed their heads to the Otomo family, but they were obedient and obedient. After the Shimadzu family basically digested Hinata, they said to the Otomo family, "I won't play with you anymore!"
How can this prevent Dayou's family from getting angry?
The most important thing is that the defection of the Dochi family made Otomo's home city face the Shimadzu family's soldiers in the inner city of the city.
This is why Otomo Zonglin is really annoyed.
So in 1578, a 4-strong army attacked Hyuga, and the Dochi family soon couldn't support it.
But right under this city, it became a turning point for the power of the Dayou family.
Because of this battle, the Otomo family lost most of their important ministers, such as Saeki Soten, Tianbei Zhenzhou, Kamachi Kammori from Chikugo, as well as powerful generals and troops under the shogunate.
It also led to the rebellion of Akizuki Nomo (Chikuzen country) and Ryuzoji Takanobu (Hizen country) in Otomo's territory, which further triggered the rebellion of many powerful people in the country, greatly weakening the power and neighboring countries.
The impact of the Battle of Erchuan is somewhat similar to the Battle of Feishui between the former Qin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the war, Otomo’s family declined, and Kyushu became a three-legged situation of Ryuzoji, Otomo, and Shimadzu.
The most important reason for the defeat of the Otomo family was the internal strife among the retainers. The reason for the internal strife was exactly the same as the Ukita riot after that-the contradiction between local religion and Christianity.
The name Zong Lin was changed by Dayou Yizhen after he gave up the family governor to his son Yizhen in 1576 and changed his belief in Chezhidan. Originally, he changed his belief in Qietzhidan, but it was to obtain Western weapons more conveniently.
Who would have thought that Zong Lin was directly limped by Western missionaries, and he really believed in religion, and began to encourage the spread of Christianity in the territory, paid for them to build churches, and gave them a piece of land as the church territory just like the West.
This will lead to conflicts with the low-level warriors of Otomo's family. Why is the territory we have worked so hard to gain not as good as the Western monks who can say a few words?
At the same time, although Dayou Zonglin retired, he still did not delegate power, which caused conflicts between him and his son Dayou Yizhen.
What's more terrible is that after he converted to religion, he began to reuse retainers who also converted to Chechidan, which led to a deepening of mistrust between him and his retainers.
In the two years since Otomo Zonglin converted to Chezhidan, he had conflicts with his son, retainers, and lower-level warriors. Under such a premise, let alone 2 people attack Hinata, even 4 people are just mobs with different hearts.
That is to say, the Otomo family has a rich family background, and there is another troublemaker, the Ryuzoji family, otherwise the Otomo family would not have been able to survive the Shimadzu family's offensive for so long.
However, with the muddleheaded defeat of the Ryuzoji family to the Shimadzu family in 1584, even the head of the head of the family, Ryuzoji Takanobu, was taken, and the Ryuzoji family collapsed completely.
This is the force that Ryuzoji quickly gathered in 7 years. The retainers in the family have no centripetal force for the Ryuzoji family. It is common sense to collapse after the death of Ryuzoji.
I will look at Ryuzoji Takanobu's fortune in the past 7 years. Every victory was commanded by Hizen slugger Naoshima Naoshima. What reason does Ryuzoji Takanobu take the greatest credit for?
It's no wonder that after the war, Ryuzoji's family was emptied by Naoshima Naoshige.
After the war, the Shimadzu family quickly integrated the forces under Ryuzoji Takanobu and pointed their finger at the Chikuzen country.Putting pressure on Dayou's family from two directions, it's no wonder that Dayou Zonglin is anxious to go to Luo in person.
"Is there something wrong here in Kyushu?" Xiujia turned to look at Zosezhi Sanzhicheng, asking him for news.
"That's exactly what I want to say to Dian Shang today. His Highness has been drawing my attention to Mr. Huci Jianlian, who fell ill in the battle last month." Hearing Xiu's questioning himself, Tsuge Sanzhicheng nodded , Said to Xiujia.
Huci Jianlian is Tachibana Doxue. It's not me who makes flower heads, but Tachibana Daoxue who changed it back in his later years.
After Tachibana Kamzai betrayed Otomoyoshi Town and was killed, Chikuzen Fortress Tachibana Mountain had no owner. Otomo Yoshitomo had to ask his old friend Huji Kamren to transfer to Fengzhuqian and inherit the Tachibana family. This is also the name of his Tachibana Kan. origin.
However, in the 3rd year of Tianzheng (1575), Daoxue gave up the position of family governor to his only daughter. Tachibana Chiyo, who was only 7 years old, retired behind the scenes and changed the character Miao back to the household name. There are rumors that she was unwilling. Use the cursed Miao character Tachibana.
The name Daoxue is his ring name after he became a monk, not a formal name change. Japan does not call other people’s ring names with Miao characters, but directly calls him Master Dao Xue. This is different from Otomo Zonglin. name.
The name Tachibana Doxue is a name called by ignorant people after Japan experienced literary reform, but it has been widely circulated because of games and film and television works.
(For convenience, I will still use the name Tachibana Doxue when I discuss it next to it)
"Is Totsuki Kiyomi sick?" Togawa Hideyasu, who heard the news for the first time, said in surprise, "No wonder Major General Otomo is so eager to go to Luo to ask His Highness Guanbai for help."
"So what's the situation in Chikuzen, Kyushu?" Unlike Hideyasu Togawa, Hideya is more concerned about the changes in Chikuzen, because it is related to how long the Otomo family can last.
After hearing Hideka's inquiry, Tsuge Sannojo opened the notepad he had prepared long ago, and began to tell Hideka about the situation in Kyushu.
There is no doubt that Tachibana Michiyuki is a leading figure in the post-Otomo era. Now Otomo’s family is facing Shimadzu’s invasion in both Chikuzen and Bungo. It's because of Qiao Shaoyun and the two of them.
As early as January of the 13th year of Tensho (1585), Akizuki Zhongshi and Chikushi Hiromon had joined forces to attack Iwaya and Homan Castle under the signal of the Shimadzu family. , Hirai Ichisuke, Ito Genemon and other generals actively defended the castle beautifully.
However, Ryuzoji Ieharu and Nabeshima Naoshige raised troops in Yanagawa Castle in February of the same year, leading an army of 2 troops to battle in Nishimuta, south of Mt. Takara.
So far in the northern part of Chikuzen, there are people from Akizuki, Nagano Jinzhan, Kusano Jinnaga, Shiroi Zhenbo, Senju, Hoshino, and Wenzhusuo, who have exerted pressure. In the south, there are Ryuzoji Iaharu, Nabeshima Naoshige and other architects. Gohizen daimyo was watching, and Chikuzen's Oyo army was in trouble.
等到2月中旬肥前、筑前、筑后、丰前联合军共集结3万余大军近逼高良山。龙造寺军于4月18日以后藤家信率筑紫广门、波多亲、高木左马助8千人于筑后川压迫。
Faced with this situation, the total strength of the Dayou Army will reach 9800 after the round of Bungo reinforcements, and it has to divide its troops to deal with it.
After deliberation, it was decided to go to Nishimuta to confront the northern army with Kuiwang Jianyasu's team, while Doxue and Shaoyun deployed in Komorino at the junction of Chikugo River and Homan River in the northwest of Mt. Gaoliang.
Takahashi Shaoyun used the 5 soldiers of retainers Ito Soemon and Fukuda Minbu Shosuke as bait, and pretended to be defeated by Chikushihiromon, Goto Ienobu and Ryuzoji's army and began to retreat.
The Southern Army thought that the battle was settled, and began to pursue the leader. Who would have imagined that at this time Takahashi Shaoyun led 1500 people with his retainers Hagio Osaemon and Narutomi Zaemon from the side of the Ryuzoji Army, which made him weak. Fuji and Chikushi could not prevent the army from collapsing and the soldiers fleeing.
Tachibana Michiyuki also commanded 3 soldiers to detour to Kitano Village to attack from the side, and pursued across the Chikugo River to Hizen Tosu and Jusanbuno. There are only 187 armored warriors who were captured in this battle. Name it, known as the Battle of Komorino.
The Dayou Army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and in the Battle of the Thirteen Fields, they captured 297 armored warriors.
But the situation facing Otomo's family has not changed.
Only two months later, on April 2, Ryuzoji Kaharu and Zhuzi Guangmen led a reserve force of more than 4 to attack Gaoliangshan, dividing the army into five sections along the embankment of Gaoliangchuan.
The battle of Gionhara broke out between the two sides here. During the battle, the Ryuzoji Army, which used 800 iron cannons, blocked their sight because of the smoke generated by the high-intensity shooting of their own iron cannons.
In the end, Tachibana Daoyuki led the army to attack successfully, and the Ryuzoji army collapsed until the Chinese army. Ryuzoji Kaqing and Zhuzi Guangmen couldn't control the defeat, and the handsome army fled.
At this point, the threat from the south was temporarily lifted, and Tachibana Daxue and Takahashi Shaoyun began to turn to deal with Qiuyue Zhongshi in the north.
Qiuyue Zhongshi was originally an important minister of the Otomo family like Tachibana Doxue and others, but after the Battle of Otomo Zonglin Erchuan, he chose to betray the Otomo family just like Ryuzoji Takanobu.
It's a pity that his luck is not as good as Ryuzoji Takanobu. Ryuzoji Takanobu is surrounded by soft persimmons so that he can rise quickly, and there are Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shaoun near Chikuzen where Akizuki Zhongshi is.
The end result was that they didn't pick any fruit, but instead attracted the initial firepower for Ryuzoji Takanobu, and finally had to surrender to Otomo's family again.
It's just that the situation is changing now, and the Otomo family's advantage is no longer there. Only a few data points in the Chikuzen country are still under the rule of the Otomo family. Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shaoyun can operate no more than 5000 troops.
Under such circumstances, the two sides began to confront each other near Lishi Mountain. At this time, Tachibana Daoxue fell ill in the battle. After the military doctor failed to treat him, he was sent back to Takahashi Home City Manbaoshan City for recuperation. opportunity is lost.
According to the historical trajectory, Tachibana Doxue would die of illness in September, and the situation of the Otomo family began to decline irreversibly. Finally, after the death of Takahashi Shaoyun, the Otomo family completely lost the possibility of resistance.
After listening to Tsusue Sannojo's description, Hideka basically understood the situation in Kyushu, and after handing over the entertainment to Hidean Togawa to prepare, he continued to ask Tsusue Sannojo, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, Your Highness wants me to pay attention to the situation of the Tokugawa family's conquest of Shinano. I just received the news that the original agreement between Hojo and Tokugawa, which was originally signed by Hojo and Tokugawa, handed over Numata as a condition for collegiality, and Sanada Masayuki Refused.
And there is news that the Sanada family has switched to the Uesugi family and sent hostages to the Uesugi family.A war between Tokugawa and Uesugi is very likely. "
