Volume 8, Joban's Autumn Colors, Hope to Return, Chapter 1070, Ancient System
On October 3, the first year of Bunroku (1592), the Toyotomi Army in Mino received news of the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This information also spread throughout the world within a week, including North Korea and Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
No matter whether it was Onono or Onono, the Toyotomi army and the Toyotomi clan daimyo suffered disastrous defeats on the three battlefields, and the regime that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had hastily established quickly came to an end. Under Imagawa Ujihira's lenient policy towards prisoners,
The Toyotomi army gave up resistance and accepted the surrender, and all the cities within the Toyotomi family were opened without blood. In the end, under the plan that Imagawa Ujihira had painstakingly planned for ten years, the war affected the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and Japan.
The turmoil ended with only five-digit casualties, and the troubled times came to an end.
On October 12, the first year of Bunroku (1592), Maple Mountain Castle. Whether it was the defeated Daimyo of the Uakiu clan, the defeated Daimyo of the Toyotomi clan, or other daimyo who collapsed outside Maple Mountain Castle without a fight.
Well, the great names from all over the world are gathered together, waiting for the final decision of the political council on the world structure. The so-called political council is composed of Imagawa Ujihira, Imagawa Kaede, Yu Qiu Shang, Imagawa Ujimitsu, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Ikeda Tsuneki
, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Mori Kotaka, Nagasogabe Motochin, Miyoshi Yoshihiro, the heads of the Yuqiu family and the elders of the Yuqiu family would hold a meeting - they would all have met during the first battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
An ally on the side of the Yuqiu family.
"Touhachi, is your leg already this serious? Wasn't it fine last time I saw you?" Imagawa Ujihira looked at Sawaki Yoshiyuki, who was walking slowly to the assessment room on crutches, and said with some worry, "It has suddenly worsened.
?”
"I can't exert my strength, and it hurts when I exert myself. The old injuries I had in those days, I didn't think they were anything when I was young, but they are really terrible when I get old." Sawaki Yoshiyuki laughed twice, but still waved Imagawa Ujihira away.
Stretching out his hand, "Isn't that enough, Hongye? Even if I have to use a cane, it's not to the point where I can't walk without you helping me."
"Hahahaha... I know where to show off my strength. A victorious general like me who has been victorious for decades and has never been injured does not need to worry about this at all!" Ikeda Hengxing, who had already arrived, touched himself and said
With a white beard, he laughed and boasted. Saswaki Yoshiyuki didn't talk nonsense. He put his left hand on Imagawa Shihira's shoulder, picked up his crutch with his right hand and knocked on the old wound on Ikeda Hengxing's waist, killing Ikeda Hengxing.
He grimaced in pain.
"Momiji, long time no see." While the two half-buried guys Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki were still fighting, Tokugawa Ieyasu also walked over quickly, and when he saw Imagawa Ujihira, he smiled sincerely, "
It has been thirty-four years since you and I met, and the world is finally at peace in our hands."
"Thank you very much for the Tokugawa family's sincere cooperation this time." Imagawa Ujihira smiled and invited Tokugawa Ieyasu into the room and patted him on the shoulder, "In return, I have prepared tempura for two for lunch.
"
"Hahahaha..." Tokugawa Ieyasu laughed out loud at Imagawa Ujihei's words, "If Momiji gives me twice the territory, I will have to consider whether I can swallow it. But if it is tempura,
Even if you eat me to death, it will only be disrespectful!"
"Your Highness." Behind Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Kotaka also rushed over and bowed to Imagawa Clan very respectfully. He was already a famous name in the world, but in front of Imagawa Clan, he still looked like the bodyguard he had been back then.
Respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kotaka. You have worked hard for decades." Imagawa Ujihira looked at Mori Kotaka and gradually
With a mature and handsome face, he couldn't help but sigh, "You look more and more like Sen-senpai... If he could see this day, he would definitely be happy."
"I'm glad that I didn't insult my late father's will." Sen Kelong bowed to the sky again, as if to comfort his deceased father.
"His Majesty Jibu." After Mori Kotaka, the one who came was Nagasou Gabe Motochan. He was wearing the traditional Tosa samurai uniform, which was quite impressive. "I think the mountains and forests near Maple Leaf Mountain are good. There will be some after the meeting."
Not interested in going on a safari together?"
"Why, you still can't trust my shooting skills?" Imagawa Ujihira thought of the past and couldn't help but teased.
"Hunting the world, I am not as good as you. But when it comes to hunting animals, His Highness Zhibu is still far below me." Changzong's Yuanqin raised his eyebrows, smiled, and walked into the house without saying much.
.
"Your Majesty Momiji." Miyoshi Yoshihiro seemed to be late. He rushed to the door in three steps and apologized to Imagawa Shihira, "Every time I come to Maple Mountain Castle, I can't help but stop and look around.
Be careful and you’ll be delayed.”
"After all, this is the city where your father once lived, and it is also the place where you lived when you were a child. It's only human nature." Imagawa Ujihira shook his head indifferently.
"The city where my father and uncles lived, and their ideal of unifying the world, have now been inherited by His Highness Momiji." Miyoshi Yoshihiro walked up to Imagawa Shihira and bowed again.
"My late father and uncles are alive in heaven. Seeing that Your Highness Hongye has come to this point, I think I can put their regrets to rest."
After welcoming all the daimyo one by one, Imagawa Kaede, who was in charge of the reception at the gate of the castle tower, also walked upstairs with Yu Qiu Shang and Imagawa Ujihira. Imagawa Ujihira walked up to Imagawa Kaede, and the two of them smiled tacitly,
He raised his hands and bumped fists - this was their favorite way of greeting for the past ten years. Then Imagawa Ujihira looked at his two children, patted them on the shoulders, and told them to enter the house.
Imagawa Ujihira himself did not enter the house immediately. Instead, he went to the corridor and looked into the shadow of the castle tower. In the shadow, Yu Qiuyou, who was wearing a black robe, was originally looking at the scene on the castle tower with envy, but
Unexpectedly, Imagawa Jihei noticed that he was safe in the guarded area. Imagawa Jihei gave a thumbs up to Amakiyu, then turned and entered the room, but Amikawa Jihei in the shadow suddenly had red eyes.
"Thank you for everything you have done for the Yuqiu family over the past thirty years." Kaede Imagawa, who was sitting on the second seat, walked around the venue, personally poured tea for each visiting daimyo, and then bowed.
"Thank you Maple Leaf Mountain Palace." All the great names also leaned forward to express their thanks.
"Then let's get started." Imagawa Shihei, who sat down at the main seat, took a sip of the tea prepared by Imagawa Kaede that suited his taste, and said slowly.
·
"You want to open?"
Before Imagawa Ujihei convened this meeting, he had fully described his conception of the new order to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but Imagawa Yoshimoto was very confused, "Why should it be opened?"
"Didn't you promise Your Highness before that you would take down the world as a betrothal gift and give it to the Imagawa family?" Imagawa Ujihira explained to Imagawa Yoshimoto with a smile at that time, "That's why I opened an Imagawa shogunate."
·
"The red leaves are about to open?"
"Your Highness is opening the ceremony?"
Sure enough, when Imakawa Ujihei formally proposed this idea, everyone present was surprised. However, it was naturally impossible for him to answer everyone the same way he answered Imagawa Yoshimoto, so he explained seriously, "Since the Genpei War,
If the samurai family wants to pass on the rule established by martial prowess, they need to rely on a set of normalized mechanisms. And what is most accepted by samurai families all over the world is the shogunate system that has gone through two generations. In this troubled times, since
It has been more than 120 years since the Onin Rebellion began. If you want to reunite people's hearts as quickly as possible and allow the samurai to return to peace with peace of mind, the shogunate is the best comfort."
"That's true..." Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded thoughtfully, but still said with some worry, "It's just that as a foreigner, Momiji, you may not be recognized by everyone. After all, it is recognized among the samurai that only Genji can open the ceremony.
.This is why Oda Nobunaga, who was born in the Taira clan, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born as a commoner, were both unable to open their doors. Toyotomi Hideyoshi even had to rely on the ancient court system to establish his own political power. Momiji, your identity is probably
It's even more embarrassing than the two of them."
"Isn't it appropriate that the Miao name should be Imagawa? Imagawa is a famous Minamoto family. Ashikaga has no heirs, Kira Tsugumi, and Kira has no heirs, Imagawa Tsugumi. Why are they dissatisfied with the opening of the Imagawa clan?" Tsuneki Ikeda muttered with a smirk on the side.
He said, "After more than thirty years, I am a belated bride."
Ikeda Tsuneki's words made Sawaki Yoshiyuki laugh. The other people in the room were simply serious people and did not laugh in front of Imagawa Kaede along with the two rough lines. Imagawa Kaede rolled his eyes at Imagawa Ujihira in annoyance,
Imagawa Ujihira could only smile bitterly and raised his hands slightly to indicate that he would not do his own business.
"But after all, Momiji's bloodline is also from the Ming Dynasty." The mature and prudent Tokugawa Ieyasu understands the hearts of the world's samurai masters better than anyone else. "The samurai will probably still have grudges, and the daimyo will also use this as a reason for everyone to object.
Bar."
"If you object, just object. They can't come together at all, and they are no match for us." Yoshiyuki Sawaki tapped the legs of the table repeatedly with the crutch in his hand, with a disdainful expression, "They are all beaten by us.
The fight is like this? Do you still have the nerve to object?"
"Topachi, never use force to overwhelm others." Imagawa Shihei shook his head when he heard this, and explained earnestly, "A world won by brute force will always be unpopular. If you are not careful, it will fall apart, and the fabric will fall apart.
Tian Nobunaga’s example couldn’t be better, right? How can we make the same mistake again?”
"Well...that being said." Although Yoshiyuki Sawaki didn't want to give in, he also understood that Imagawa Ujihira was right.
"His Majesty Najibe, do you have any way to persuade the world's great names to accept you, a member of the Imagawa clan with pure Korean blood?" Nagasou Gabe Genchan asked sharply, "In the past, when you adopted a child, you had to have a close relative.
Even so, the retainers will always be alienated. As a Ming Dynasty, Your Highness, the Imperial Highness, even if you inherit the name of the Imagawa family, you are not related by blood, how can you convince the public?"
"You are right, so I plan to take a step back." Imagawa clan nodded in agreement, "I spread the word that I want to be a general, which aroused the opposition of the world's famous people, and then announced that Guang'er will succeed. Guang'er will take the throne.
My son has the blood of the Imagawa family and has been adopted from the Yuqiu family. This is a big concession on my part, and the martial arts family in the world should not continue to care about it, right?"
