Chapter 818 Bloody Battle of Itsukushima (2)
The plum trees in the courtyard are covered with heavy flowers. Times are like a river, and now it is the end of October in the 23rd year of Astronomy (1554). The mansion built by Niko Haruka, who was outside the Toshida Castle, Toshima Castle, Izumoku, Honshu Island, was already magnificent in scale, more than three times the scale when it was first completed.
In his spare time, Nizi Qingji would come here to rest. On this day, just as Nizi Qingji was having tea in this mansion for a long time, a figure stumbled in.
"Lord, please be the master of your subordinates! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Niko Kuraki was stunned. When he looked up, he was shocked. The person who came was his retainer, Hirazo Nakai, who was known for having a beautiful beard. Now, the bearded man of Hirazo Nakai, was shaved half of the left side. Obviously, Hirazo Nakai came here to cry this time, and it must be for his beard, so Hirazo Nakai asked immediately:
"What the hell is going on?"
"Lord, please be the master of your subordinates!" Hearing Niko Haruka's question, Nakai Heitaki's army guards cried again, and then he told Niko Haruka with tears in his nose and tears.
The reason is very simple, because he met Nizi Makoto from the New Palace Party. Nizi Makoto didn't know what was going crazy, so he actually called Nakai Heitaki's army guard over, then pressed him to the ground, shaved his beard with a knife, and deliberately shaved only half of the left side.
"How can you see half of your beard? Go home and shave the remaining half. Then keep it up slowly. Don't worry. I will make the decision for you." After learning the whole story, Niko Haruki immediately comforted Nakai Heitaki's army, but he was already furious, "Kukuo and his son, you are slapping me hard in the face!" Then he had already considered how to eradicate the unstable factors in the family of Kukuo and his son.
Objectively speaking, in fact, Niko Haruha can be regarded as one of the few heroes among the Niko family's governors. Although he was very happy to attack the Maori family when he first inherited the family's governor, he tried to use a big victory to establish the prestige of the family's governor for himself, but he returned with a great defeat. In addition to his grandfather Niko was pissed to death for a long time, he even attracted Yoshitaka Ouchi. Although he finally repelled Yoshitaka Ouchi, his prestige in his family also suffered a great blow.
But Niko Haruka was not discouraged. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of repelling the coalition forces of the Daoui family and exiled a large number of Izumo who had secretly communicated with the Daoui family, and then confiscated their territory, thus greatly strengthening the power of the Sou family. At the same time, Niko Haruka used coercive means to seize temples such as Kitsuki Daishe, and the shrine's meteora (especially when he went out to Atsui and Yixiangsong to help, but was rejected. So after Niko Haruka returned to Izumo, he directly used the local temple forces to vent his anger.
). The rich merchants from Wakasa country opened a maritime route across the West Japan, extracting a large number of "stocks" (water transportation trade tax) from the trade between Izumo, Bochi, and Ishimi Ginshan. They raised fat and strong, with financial support. They vigorously built shrines and Buddhist temples at home, tried their best to maintain internal order, and fought eastward to the outside world. They went in and out of the country many times, prepared for China, the United States, and the country of Bomo, and forced the powerful people in these areas, and also repelled the Danue and Maori coalition forces that invaded these areas several times, which was very majestic.
In fact, all the above actions of Nizi Qingjiu were based on his grandfather Nizi's long-term development, and accelerated the concentration of all the wealth, materials and power in the family on the Zong family and the governor of the Zong family, and completely transformed into a true Warring States famous name. With the continuous progress of Nizi Qingjiu's reform, he soon discovered that he had encountered a great obstacle.
This obstacle is naturally the New Palace Party of the Nizi family led by Nizi Guojiu and Nizi Chengjiu.
The New Palace Party is an extremely elite force of the Niko family in Izumo. Over the years, its horses have traveled all over the country, preparing for the future, the United States and other places, and threatening the enemy country. However, for the family governor, the New Palace Party is a more abominable opponent than Maorimoto, because the commander of this military power is not himself, but his commoner, Yoshida Kokuha (i.e. Nikokuha). At that time, after Niko's long-lasting third son Shin Yeshi rebelled and executed, he became enthusiastic and rewarded his second son Kokuha.
Jiu, who was originally the heir to Yoshidazhuang of Higashi Izumo, now has Yanyezhuang of Higashi Izumo, and his power spans the entire Izumo Kingdom and has become extremely inflated. Not only that, Niko Yoshiko also took a fancy to Guojiu's martial arts and appointed him as the Niko's army, unified the small wealthy families directly under the jurisdiction of the country into an army, and returned to Guojiu's command. Because Guojiu's museum is located in the Shinmiya Valley north of Tomota Castle on Tsukiyama, this army is thus named "Singmiya Party", which is actually the private armed forces of Niko Kojiu and Niko Makoto and his son.
Now that Nizi Qingjiu wants to unify the power of the family, he naturally has his eyes on the command of this army. Therefore, Nizi Qingjiu was both afraid and jealous of this army, and was so dying. Because his power at home grew stronger, Nizi Guojiu and Nizi Makoto became arrogant and rude, even if he treated Nizi Qingjiu, the governor of the family.
Especially Makoto Nizi, who relied on his bravery and was a rich second generation, did many horrifying things. For example, Kurosaki Nizi had a civil servant named Sanqiu, who held the right pen position (equivalent to a secretary). His nose grew very big. Once he met Makoto, Makoto actually said: "A civil servant like you who is powerless is not very famous at all. What is the height of his nose?" Then he quickly punched an iron fist, and the bridge of his nose was broken for the last time. Since then, he could only flatten his nose and make minutes.
Nizi Makoto not only beat the subordinates of the family governor at will, but also liked to engage in privileges. He stipulated that all samurai in Tomota Castle in Tsukiyama must dismount and walk to show respect before he arrived at his new palace hall to show respect. Some Nizi retainers were disobedient, Nizi Makoto ordered a team of elite New Palace Party members to be stationed at the entrance of the building. When they saw those who did not dismount, they rushed up and tugged, and were extremely arrogant. Once, Nizi Kuriki ordered all the retainers in the city to go to the north of the city to hunt. The only way to pass was the Xinbei Valley. As a result, all the retainers were mourning and consciously dismounted in front of the Nizi Makoto Hall. The Xinbei Party was sitting by the door and laughing, which was even more enjoyable than watching the military parade.
The arrogance of ignoring the authority of the family governor like the above, Niko Kuo and Niko Makoto have many fathers and sons. Today, the fact that Nakai Heitaki's beard was shaved off has added ironclad evidence to the arrogance and rudeness of Niko Kuo and Niko Makoto.
"Madam, it seems I'm going to be sorry for you." After comforting Nakai Heitaki's army, he asked him to go back and shave off the remaining half of his beard. He then looked at the sky in the yard and said to himself.
Niko Haruki's wife's wife is Niko Kuroku's daughter (a pair of standard cousins and sisters), and she had passed away last year. In the past, when she was in love with her wife, Niko Haruki had never made up her mind to eliminate Niko Haruki and his son, but now he finally made up his mind. So Niko Haruki immediately secretly prepared to eliminate Niko Haruki and his son's plan.
Just as Nizi Qing was preparing secretly, the Luo family's official who was staying at Nizi's house as a hostage followed Duanmu Qingzheng, silently paid attention to Nizi's actions, and then reported the situation to the Zhengliang of Kyushu at any time.
On November 10th, a Luo family detective quickly ran into Duanmu Qingzheng's residence and then reported: "Report to the Lord, a bloody corpse was found in front of the gate of Futian City in Yueshan."
"Oh? Do you know why this corpse appears there?" Duanmu Qingzheng immediately felt that the matter was unusual, so he immediately asked.
"Because the subordinates are far away, they cannot hear the conversation between the soldiers who found the corpse, so they are not clear either."
"Since that's the case, immediately lead people to closely monitor the changes in Tokuyama Castle during this period and come back in time to report it." Duanmu Qingzheng arranged for his subordinates to continue to investigate, but he said in his heart, "It seems that something is really going to happen to the Nizi family."
It is true that as Duanmu Kiyoshi expected, something happened to the Nizi family, because soldiers from Tomota Castle in Tsukiyama found a secret letter on the body. The content of the letter was about Nizi Kuoku and his son who wanted to lead the New Palace Party to rebel, and made an appointment with Maori Yuan, etc. After reading this letter, Nizi Kuoku and his son were furious and immediately ordered Nizi Kuoku and his son to come for a visit and make self-defense.
After receiving the summons and secret message, Nikokuku and his son actually brought dozens of entourages as guards, they immediately set off for Tomota Castle on Tsukiyama. After all, they really did not rebel, and although they were arrogant, they were not so arrogant that they dared to refuse the summons of the family governor.
But what unexpectedly happened to Nizi Kuku and his son was that when they were halfway from Tomota Castle on Tsukiyama, they were suddenly besieged by the Nizi army led by the Nizi family several times theirs led by the Nizi army led by the Nizi family for being several times theirs. The slogan for besieging them was to accuse Nizi Kuku and his son of plotting rebellion.
Although Nizi Guojiu and his son resisted and demanded to go to Nizi Harujiu to defend themselves, the Shibingwei and Li Yuanbei, who had received Nizi Harujiu's killing order, finally killed Nizi Guojiu and others one by one. Subsequently, under the arrangement of Nizi Harujiu, a large number of troops rushed to the Xinmiya Valley, the territory of Nizi Guojiu and his son. The Xinmiya Party scattered as a result, and all the backbone personnel were detained. Soon after, they were gradually eliminated. The "Newmiya Party" that crisscrossed the Western countries instantly collapsed.
