Recovering Changzong’s Family

Chapter 274 Recovering Changzong’s Family

Zhezhi Sanzhicheng's affairs were handled very well, and he replied to Xiu's family that night, "The other side already knows."

But for some unknown reason, it has been 8 days since Xiujia received the information from Osaka, and it happened to be the day before Xiujia set off for Osaka.

It was also on this day that Changzong's relatives hurried over from Lianggong Mountain City to ask to see Xiu's family.

It was also on this day that the reconstruction of Ishiyama Castle supervised by Maeda Genichi officially started. This place will become the temporary headquarters of Ukido before the main building of Okayama Castle is completed.

Hideka purposely followed Maeda Genichi around Ishiyama Castle to listen to his plans for the construction of Ishiyama Castle, so when he returned to Okayama, he happened to see Nagamune's relatives waiting in front of the Honmaru.

The Xiu family had expected the arrival of Chang Zong's relatives, but they didn't know why the communication from Osaka was so slow, and the definite news came only after he had to leave.

According to Tsusue Sannojo's investigation, when Hideka heard that Kaneko Motoya and others started a riot in Iyo, and the situation spread to the territory of Fukushima, Kato, and Uki, they just cursed a few words, but didn't get too angry .

But when he knew that the rebels were holding the banner of Fuxing Changzong's family, he really jumped up from Chacha's arms, swearing constantly, and planned to mobilize the army from Kinki to participate in the suppression of Doiyo .

Soon he heard the news that Ukido's 1 troops were stationed in Iyo, which finally calmed down his desire to transfer troops from Kinki.

But after Hideyoshi calmed down and thought about it seriously, Changzonggabu Yuanqin was in trouble.

Just as Xiujia thought, the first reaction in Hideyoshi's mind was: Your Changzong and my relatives can mess up Shikoku even if you don't go back, what if you go back?Aren't you making things difficult for me by living?Or die quickly.

So someone sent a letter to Koyasan, asking Chang Zonggabu Yuan to be intimate, and at the same time sent a letter to Wakayama Castle Hashiba Hideji, asking him to supervise Yuan's intimate.

Fortunately, Hashiba Hidecho and others dissuaded him from the sidelines, "Changzong and our relatives are still alive, which is enough to show your generosity and care, brother. If you deal with Changzong and our relatives at this moment, it will be just for these rebels An excuse to rebel?"

After everyone persuaded for a long time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi changed his mind and sent someone to recover the envoy and instead asked Changzong Gabu Yuan to personally come to Osaka to come from Chen Chuan.

The Xiu family's intelligence network had already known the news two days ago, but Chang Zong, our department, Xinqin and others had to wait until the regular news came before they could react.

Even if the relatives of Changzong's family have not responded today, the Xiu family can't help but send someone to inform them about the situation in Osaka.

When Xiu's family returned to the evaluation room of Okayama City, Changzong's relatives brought six elders from Xiangzong's family, including Xiangzong's family Qintai, Changzong's family, and Gu Zhongcheng, to the meeting.

Hideka was a little embarrassed when he saw Nagamune and Gabu getting along. After all, he was the one who kicked him out of Sanuki and ordered him to change the Miao character of Kagawa.The most important thing is that the Xiu family just slept with his wife.

On the contrary, Chang Zong and our relatives looked calmer when they saw the Xiu family. Presumably, for the Warring States samurai family, it has long been normal for them to be occupied by more powerful people.

It is not bad for Changzong's family to be friendly. It is said that he has newly married Gu Zhongcheng's daughter as his wife, and changed the word Miao back to Changzong's family to provide support for his relatives.However, due to the number of knowledge and actions of Changzong's family, they were only awarded 500 stones in total.

Zhixing of 500 shi is just a low-level warrior in Yuxi family, but in the new Chang Zonggabu family, he is already an extremely important position.

"Hearing that you are eager to see me, I rushed back from Shishan City non-stop, but I didn't expect you to mobilize people here. Is this because all the people in the family who can talk have come?"

The weather in Bizen in August is still a bit hot. Although in a relatively cool room, Hideie still sat on the main step of the palace, opened the folding fan and began to fan himself, fanning the wind over and over again.

"I came here today to ask for something, and I hope that the left center general will take pity on me." Gu Zhongcheng's tone was extremely humble, and he begged the Xiu family humbly.

"I've heard what you said, and it's true that Chang Zong's family is innocent for being implicated."

Xiujia first set a main tone for the topic, saying that I know the cause and effect of this incident, and I am on your side, so you can rest assured.

"It's just that Kaneko Yuanzhai was indeed the head of the banner headed by your Changzong Ibu and Iyo's family before, and now the rebellion flag is raised in your name, and it is difficult for the Changzong and our tribe to put aside the relationship. "

The Xiu family meant to stand on your side, but this matter is very difficult to handle. Changzong and my family may not be able to do without paying something.

This is called sympathy for sympathy, and business for business.

As mentioned earlier, the Xiu family didn't care about Yuan Qin's life or death at all.What he cares about is the attitude of owning the 4-stone Nagamune family in Bizen Akasaka County.

"I heard that the Jinzi Yuanzhai used Changzong's family as its banner, which even alarmed His Highness Guan Bai. For this reason, Guan Bai severely reprimanded Shaosuke Gongnai?" With the intelligence level of the Xiu family, how could it be unclear? What happened to Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin in Osaka, it's just that the Xiu family kept silent about the fact that he was originally required to cut seppuku.

"This is exactly the reason why I came to see His Highness today. Regarding the incident caused by Kaneko Yuanzhai in Iyo, Changzong and my family absolutely did not participate in the slightest. There is a trace of unreasonable thought."

The members of Xiangzong's department were mature and prudent, and they first made a clear attitude to the Xiu family.It's just that his attitude was not what Xiujia expected, so Xiujia just curled her lips in noncommittal about his statement.

"You said that the chaos in your land of Iyo has nothing to do with your Changzong and our family. Your Highness Guan Bai should believe this matter." The Xiu family was not very satisfied with Qintai's statement, but replied bitterly. .

Sometimes the Xiu family is also strange, they are all veterans in the political circle, why Xiangzong and my relatives still don't understand the meaning of the Xiu family, but want to go around in circles outside, can't they go straight in and give the Xiu family what they want? ?
"Changzong and my family want to prove their innocence, all they need is to lead troops to Yiyu to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. It is best to cut off the head of the Jinzi Yuanzhai with your own hands and present it to His Highness Guan Bai. You don't need to beg me at all. what."

What the Xiu family said is not unreasonable, as long as they use actions to prove that they have nothing to do with Jin Zi Yuan Zhai, Chang Zong and our family will be able to get rid of the stains on themselves.But the key is how to act.

The Hide family's answer was a bit off-putting, not to mention that Changzong's family has surrendered to Hideyoshi, and they are Hideyoshi's retainers. If they raised troops without the order of the lord's family, they might arouse even greater suspicion from the lord's family. That's why they came here today. The reason why Shan asked to see Xiujia.

After waiting for such a long time, Hideyoshi did not send an order from Osaka to ask Chang Zong Gabu's family to send troops. He just asked Chang Zong Gabu Yuanqin to go to Osaka to report his mistakes, which made Xinqin and others anxious like ants on a hot pot.

But for Nobuchi and the others, it is not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi who can order them to send troops, but also Hideyoshi Hashiba himself.

After all, they were sent by Hideyoshi to the Hideo family.

As long as the Hide family agrees to their sending troops to Iyo, then the crisis of the Changzonggabu family can be alleviated, otherwise the Changzonggabu family will always bear the stigma of starting a rebellion while watching others pacify Ichikui.

It's a pity that Xiu's family didn't intend to let them stay out of the matter easily. After all, Xiu's family had disclosed this news to Osaka. Wouldn't it be a big loss if they didn't get enough benefits?

"This is exactly the purpose of my visit today. I implore the left center general to give an order to allow Changzong's family to raise troops to join in the suppression of Yiyu Yikui." He held his breath and interrupted directly from the side.

"Ah, isn't this Mr. Gorojiro from the Kagawa family? Why did you come to Okayama as a guest today? I just don't know what kind of identity you are talking to me with?"

There is a change in Hideya's tone, from the teasing in the first half of the sentence to the sternness in the second half. It is obvious that Hideka is very unhappy with the intervention of Nobuwa Nagamune, so he specifically mentioned his son of the Kagawa family "Goro Jiro" To show humiliation.

"Goro Jiro" is not a general term for the family of Nagamune, but a collective name for the heirs of the Kagawa family. Every governor of the Kagawa family is called "Goro Jiro".

But today, the old story of the Xiu family was brought up again, which really caught Chang Zong and our relatives by surprise, with a hint of shame and anger on their faces, they dared not reply.

Uncle Xiangzong and my family found out that there was something wrong with Affinity's performance, stretched out his hand to pull him to calm him down, and slightly bowed to the Xiu family and said, "Changzong's family is ordered by His Highness, and they dare not gather without His Highness's order." The military power. I came here today to ask His Highness for orders."

"I'm a little curious. Whether it's Changzong's family that I'm talking about today, or Xiangzong's family is going to talk with me. Why is it that you, An Yishou, made every suggestion?" Xiu covered her mouth with a fan , asked eccentrically.

But immediately his tone became extremely tough, and he scolded against Changzong's letter from his own experience, "Is Changzong's family dead? Why doesn't the master come out to speak."

The Xiu family suddenly became angry, which really frightened several people present, Qin Tai, Gu Zhongcheng and others of Xiangzong's family all looked at the family governor Xinqin sitting in front of them, waiting for his reply.

The past two years of Changzong’s followers’ life can be said to be full of ups and downs. After Changzong’s family experienced several blows from the Xiu family, it made them have a little fear of the Xiu family. The boy who launched the charge.

On weekdays, he is not as cheerful as before, and the retainers only think that he has become silent because of the change in the family plan of Changzong.

Today, being pointed at by the Xiu family and scolding me, the wandering relatives of Changzong's family finally came to their senses, "Ha Yi, please allow the Changzong's family to send troops to fight against traitors."

Even after talking about flowers, the tone of Changzong's relatives was still without a trace of emotion. For a moment, Xiujia even wondered if this man was useless, which made Xiujia suddenly lose interest in this man.

The Xiu family shook his head, and gave a negative answer: "I think His Highness Changzong might have misunderstood, but you are the retainers of His Highness Guan Bai, how can I have the right to command you.

Besides, Iyo's enemies are nothing more than clowns. Akashi Iyoshou has already led 1 soldiers to suppress it. It is expected that news of victory will come soon.

What's more, Akasaka County was less than a month before you were enlisted, and the territory has not yet been mastered. I am really worried that you will suddenly gather troops. "

Xiujia's meaning is very clear: there are enough people on the front line, one more of you is not too many, one less of you is not much.Besides, you have just mastered Akasaka, which I have searched over and over again. It is still a question mark whether you can organize the army according to the military service status.Maybe you are not as good as the mob on the opposite side. Letting you go, maybe it is the effect of 1+1<1, which is completely hindering
You are not the retainers of my Yuxi family, why should my Xiu family take such a risk to carry the sedan chair for you?

Xiu Jiayou threw the topic back and waited for the other party's answer.In fact, Hideyoshi's multiple-choice question is not difficult. Hideyoshi has already become suspicious of the influence of Nagamune's family in Shikoku.

It's just that I don't know what concerns Xinqin and Qintai have now, but they have been silent for a long time without giving a reply.

Xiujia's fan played rhythmically on the tatami. After about 300 blows, Xiujia completely lost his patience. He just felt that it was a waste of time to continue to spend here, so he got up immediately and prepared to leave.

"Left middle general, please stay." Just as the Xiu family stood up and the attendants behind him failed to keep up, the Changzong Gabu Xinhe, who had been silent for a long time under the steps, finally spoke, and the Xiu family's steps were also one of a kind. lag.

Xiujia turned her head over with great interest, and looked at Xinqin with the eyes of looking at prey, as if waiting for his final decision.

"My lord, please give the order to allow Changzong's family to attack. I will definitely cut off the head of Jin Ziyuanzhai, my lord, to justify my innocence." The relatives of Changzong's family seemed to have suffered a lot, and finally resigned. The following words came out of his mouth.

When he spoke, a quiet needle drop could be heard in the assessment room.

Xiangzong's relative Qintai looked at Xinqin with surprised eyes, and whispered softly: "Misaburo~"

When the Xiu family heard the name of Chang Zong's relatives, they were already [-]% sure about the matter, but the words of the Warring States Wu family were like farting, and the Xiu family would never believe it without substantial restraint.

"I still need an attendant by my side. Send Chikumamaru to Okayama tomorrow. Let's learn etiquette from the Kensei-in." The Xiu family was asking for a hostage from the Changzong family.

As early as after the defeat, the Changzongabu family surrendered. Although Hideyoshi gave Xinqin the position of governor of the Changzongabu family, he still held Motokin and Tsunokinada as hostages.

At this time, Shengqin was only 10 years old, but was raised by Xinqin in Bizen. Unexpectedly, he was asked by the Xiu family to become a hostage.

"Ha Yi, it's an honor for Senkumamaru to be taken care of by His Highness." Xinqin didn't feel at all awkward about handing over his younger brother as a hostage, and directly agreed.

Now that the hostages have been obtained, the Xiu family is not good at doing too much. After thinking for a while, he pretended to think, "I thought about it, Changzong and my family really need a chance to prove themselves, so let's organize a 1200-person Military power, go to Yiyu to find Mingshidian, and listen to his orders."

After saying that, the Xiu family turned and left, but heard the voice from the relatives behind him again, "I heard that His Highness is about to get up and go to Osaka, and please say something kindly to save my father's life in Osaka."

"Changzong's family treats me with sincerity, and I treat Changzong's family with sincerity." The Xiu family has given Changzong's family a promise, as long as Changzong's family does not betray themselves, the matter of rescuing Yuan's relatives It was his duty to act, only by saving Yuanqin, Xinqin and others could truly subdue Xiujia.

After saying this, the Xiu family really set off and left this time, leaving only relatives and relatives behind to salute the Xiu family, and praised, "Thank you, my lord (the main hall), for your kindness."
