Chapter 6 Third Story Ukita Hideya-2

The day after Hideyoshi's death, the political scene in Fushimi Castle changed.Ieyasu became a different person.He had already estimated the decisive battle in Guanyuan, and acted with this goal in mind.He nonchalantly broke the prohibitions stipulated in Hideyoshi's suicide note, and began to make various contacts with princes from all over the country in order to win people's hearts.He ignored the law and established marriage relationships with princes and noble families in private.These things stimulated Ishida Mitsunari, who took up the post of envoy.From Ieyasu's point of view, he originally wanted to anger Misunari or Maeda Toshiie, and through provocation, let them raise their troops against him, and then send troops to attack them by himself, so as to achieve the goal of changing the dynasty.To achieve this goal, Ieyasu made a careful plan and then acted boldly.Most of the princes of the Toyotomi family, seeing the inner motives hidden in Ieyasu's series of activities, took the initiative to approach Ieyasu.

At this time, a turmoil broke out in Yuxi's family.This turmoil has nothing to do with Hideyoshi's death. It seems that, as Hideyoshi pointed out, Hideyo lacked the ability to act politically.In particular, he knew very little about the affairs of his own family, and his relationship with the important officials of Yuxi's family was very estranged.For this reason, he appointed his confidant, Nakamura, who was in the Ministry of Punishment, to be in charge of the political connection with the important ministers in his hometown, and he was very fond of him. This Ministry of Punishment is not a veteran of Yu Xijia.He is from Kaga.

He was originally a servant of Gohime, who came to the Uki family from Maeda Toshie's house in Kaga.In the early days, he served as the liaison between the Maeda family and the Osaka Castle court, and was good at socializing. Hideka thought to himself: "Jiro Bingbei (referring to the Criminal Department) is very useful." He felt that this person was easy to use and handy, so he made him a liaison officer on political affairs.The so-called liaison refers to serving as a messenger between Hideya and Kii Mori's boat.Longfune is the chief elder of Ukido stationed in the Bizen Island Mansion in Osaka.In the process of making contact, Xingbu fawned on Osafune, which won his favor. Gradually, the Kaga man began to manipulate both Hideo and Osafune.It didn't take long before Xiujia and Changchuan became almost unable to communicate without his intervention.Thus forming a powerful force centered on him.This criminal department is somewhat similar to Ishida Mitsunari of the Toyotomi family.Out of some need, the Xiu family gave the Ministry of Punishment the territory of two thousand stones and made him the last elder of the family.

"Hey, this upstart is coming to tell us what to do!" Ukita's house was filled with such an aggrieved mood. This disgust towards the Ministry of Justice is especially strong in Xiu's hometown.The mansion in Osaka often notifies the head family in the hometown of the transfer fee.After receiving the notice, the head family in the hometown had no choice but to raise the amount of money or rice required in the notice to send to Osaka, and the head family was completely at the mercy of others.It turned out that he was not in a good mood, and in addition, the chief family member Ji Yishou long boat was originally a person with no morals and no hope. He liked to play tricks on everything, and he was very biased when dealing with affairs.The local people's resentment towards the long boat has been accumulated for a long time. Even before the Ministry of punishment was listed as a family elder, there was a voice in the local area to "kill the long boat to thank the world".Xiujia is not unaware of this.

Once upon a time, during the war against Korea, an old retainer of the Uki family named Okaeshizen fell ill while in the army and died in Pusan.This person had been working for the Yuxi family as early as when the late father of the Xiu family was alive.Before the old retainer died, Xiu's family visited him at his hospital bed, expressed condolences to him for his loyalty to help him over the years, and asked him, "Do you have any advice at this final time of parting?" Echizen just said "in vain" and then closed his mouth. This means that it is useless to talk about it.When Xiujia wanted him to mention it again, Echizen said: "Alas, alas! Even if I tell you, you won't accept it." Xiujia asked him to bring it up again and again.Only then Echizen nodded and said: "Osaka Kii Mori is a big villain. If the master uses such a person, there will be chaos in the house. Forgive me for saying something unlucky, and the family will be destroyed in the end."

Later, Oka Eshizen died.As expected, the Xiu family did not listen to him.Because no matter what, Kii Shou Nasafune was an old retainer who had been serving at Uki's family since then.Besides, I met Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi even gave him the surname Yuchai.The kind-hearted Xiujia, based on this alone, is unwilling to remove the old man from the management position of Yuxi's family affairs. Moreover, when Hideyoshi was alive, the anti-Osafune faction in his hometown did not dare to take open hostile actions against Osafune surnamed Hashiba.However, now that Hideyoshi is dead, it makes them come alive.

"Since Taihe is dead, the doom of the long boat has come. Each of you command your own troops to go to the capital to settle accounts with the long boat, so as to wrest the heads of the long boat and the nouveau riche Nakamura's criminal department!" Just as the hometown ship was excited, Kii Mori's boat suddenly fell ill and died in his mansion in Osaka.At first everyone worked hard, so the anti-longboat faction in my hometown was quite disappointed. Someone in the opposition said: "There is no need to be disappointed, the boy Nakamura Xingbu is still alive!"

At this time, news came that some of the opposition had set off from their hometown with foreign guns in order to crusade against the Ministry of Criminal Justice.When the Ministry of Justice got the news in Osaka City, they took a boat to Fushimi overnight, and went straight to Xiu's house after landing.Hideka is not in the mansion, but in Fushimi Castle.The Ministry of Justice waited in the mansion and waited for the master to come back. He was really impatient, so he went to Fushimi Castle and paid homage to the Xiu family in the hall dedicated to the elders.There is a courtyard in front of the hall.

By the pool in the courtyard, there is a flower of echidna blooming. Xiujia looked at the yard, and said to the Ministry of Justice without looking back: "The Ministry of Justice, do you know that? It's the beetroot of Miyagino." The Hide family loves echidna very much, and they planted various varieties of echidna in their mansion in Osaka and in their mansion in Fushimi.The so-called Miyagino refers to a piece of wilderness from the eastern suburbs of Sendai to the coast.Every autumn, the field is full of euphemums, bellflowers and magnolias, and there are also many golden bells and golden lutes inhabiting it.It has been a famous spot where waka poets have sung since ancient times.It is said that the orchids in this garden were given to Hideyoshi by Date Masamune of Oshu.Hideyoshi felt very regretful that he did not participate in the battle against Oshu, and was unable to see the famous Miyagino with his own eyes.However, he once imagined the scenery in this field, wrote a waka, and recited several related ancient poems.At this moment, with his face facing the courtyard, he suddenly became poetic and began to chant:

Imagination is like a tide, and my heart is rushing to Miyagino. The flowers are blooming like a brocade, and the autumn insects are chirping. Xiujia sang softly, intoxicated in the artistic conception of the poem.At this time, the Ministry of Justice, who had been kneeling with his head bowed, couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "I report to the lord with all sincerity..." As he spoke, he raised his head and reported the disturbance at home to the Xiu family.The Ministry of Criminal Justice felt that it was necessary to stimulate the Xiu family a little, so they casually said: "It was rumored that Master Ji Yishou, who died of illness a few days ago, did not die of illness. He was poisoned to death. My lord, guess the poison Who is the person?"

Hearing this, Xiu's family couldn't help being shocked, and asked who put the poison.The Ministry of Justice replied that it was the chief family member of his hometown, Ukita Sakyo Ryo (son of Hideya's uncle Tadaya, who was later Dewa Mamori Sakazaki Naomori) who did it.After hearing this, Xiujia thought to himself, there might be some truth in this, because Zuo Jingliang is a man with a violent personality, prone to extremes when things happen, not good at deliberation, and he is cruel to people, so things like him poisoning and killing people may be will work out.However, Zuo Jingliang lived in the country, how could he do this?Besides, there is no evidence. "Department of punishment, don't talk nonsense!" "No, no, this isn't a villain's random talk. Besides, I heard that Zuo Jingliang and his group are wearing armor and armor, and they are now leading an army, rushing aggressively along Sanyo Road towards Osaka Castle. " The so-called Sakyo Ryo faction is headed by Sakyo Ryo, including Higo Moritogawa, Echizen Morioka (the son of the old retainer Echizen mentioned above who died in North Korea), Shima Mori Hanabo and Hanabu Assistant Guards.Among these people, except for the assistant soldiers and guards, they are all big households with a salary of more than 50,000 shi.If there is a riot, it may develop into a war between the old family group in the capital and the old family group in their hometown.Such a situation has never been seen in other princes. Unexpectedly, Xiujia was very optimistic, he said: "Please discuss it with Akashi Saobu." Akashi Sobe's real name is Quan Deng, and it is said that he was a man who was very good at fighting. After Osafune's death, he served as the chief elder in Osaka. As a result, the riot developed into an incident.Akashi Saobu once mediated, but failed to convince both parties.First of all, the original Osafune faction stayed in the Fushimi Mansion, while the opposition from his hometown entered Osaka. During this period, after several small-scale street battles, the opposition occupied the Bizen Island Mansion in Osaka. With the Yodo River 13 miles as the boundary, the two sides entered a state of armed confrontation.The social order began to become chaotic.Had Hideyoshi been alive, such a serious situation would have been unimaginable. Yoshitsugu Otani, a daimyo who is very close to the Xiu family, and the official resident of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, can't stand it anymore. Ji Ji suggested to Xiujia: "If it doesn't get in the way, I can mediate for you." The Xiu family just felt helpless about the development of the situation, so they decided to ask other famous names to help clean up the mess in their own family. Xiujia implored Tuoji to continue: "Please, please, this is something I can only wish for, please help me, brother." To be honest, Xiujia felt relieved when Jiji stepped forward to help. Otani Yoshitsugu seems to be reliable.Although Kichitsugu is a minor daimyo of Fifty Mangoku in Tsuruga, he has been in charge of the administrative affairs of the Toyotomi family since Hideyoshi was alive, and people speak highly of his handling skills.This person was cultivated and promoted by Hideyoshi from an early age, and he was straightforward, capable of martial arts, and cunning, and he was considered to be the best among the daimyos cultivated by Hideyoshi.He suffered from leprosy and his face was disfigured. He always covered his face with a white cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.To make a few digressions, let's say that Otani Yoshitsugu, among the factions of the Toyotomi family, has a close relationship with Ishida Mitsunari due to his birthplace and professional contacts.However, he does not carry out factional activities like Sancheng, but holds a detached attitude. Jiji thought to himself: "If we want to mediate, we must invite the Edo Neifu." Ieyasu is the chief patriarch of Toyotomi's family and Hideyori's agent.He is now in charge of various administrative affairs in Fushimi.If the famous Ieyasu came forward to mediate, then it is estimated that the elders of the Yuxi family would also obey.However, Ieyasu's status is too high, it is inappropriate to ask him to personally intervene in the disputes between the elders of a famous family.Therefore, Jiji decided to recruit a daimyo under Ieyasu's command to cooperate with him.Among the daimyos under Tokugawa's command, Yasomasa Sakakihara is the first to be promoted.Yasumasa was an old retainer who had served the Tokugawa family since the time when the Tokugawa family was only a daimyo in Mikawa.From the 2.5 million territory in Kanto owned by Ieyasu, he was entrusted to the 100,000 stone territory in Guanlin, Shangzhou. Thinking of this, Ji Ji immediately went out to visit Kang Zheng.Kang Zheng heard what he wanted, and replied: "If I need my brother, I will be happy to help." He greatly agreed with Ji Ji's plan.Later, the two of them split up and started running.They called the representatives of both parties to the Sakakibara Mansion in Fushimi for mediation, but the problem was still not easy to solve.But Ji Ji was not discouraged.Jiji's idea is: "Hide Lai Gong's world has just started to go." Such a mess, if left unchecked, is likely to spread into a prairie fire. Later, the news that the two men were running to mediate reached Ieyasu's ears. "Unexpectedly, even our Xiao Pingtai (common name for Kang Zheng) is also running around?" Ieyasu was very unhappy. He longed for trouble.If the disputes of the Yuxi family can expand into chaos in the world, then, in the name of "for the sake of Mr. Xiu Lai", daimyos from all over the country can be mobilized to crusade against the party that provoked the dispute, and then use this crusade army to take advantage of the situation Establish the shogunate in one fell swoop; otherwise, just sit back and watch the tigers fight, and wait for the two factions of Yuxi family to lose both sides, which is not bad.In Ieyasu's opinion, Ishida Mitsunari is probably the one who will challenge himself in the future.At best, Sancheng is just a daimyo with a territory of less than 200,000 shi, so he will definitely recruit other daimyos from the ruling party to participate.I'm afraid he will invite Ukita Hide's family to participate and let him be the main force of this army.If it was for Mr. Xiu Lai, the Xiu family would definitely join in enthusiastically.To Ieyasu, Hideo was a figure who was about to become an enemy.It was in Ieyasu's favor that Xiu's family was collapsing on its own.However, there would be such an idiot who would specifically mediate disputes for Yuxi's family. Sakakibara Yasomasa has the simple temperament of Mikawa local people.Although he has fought many battles and is a military commander who has fought on the battlefield for a long time, he is incompetent in participating in political activities in the world and observing subtle changes in the political situation. According to Ieyasu's usual practice, on such occasions, he could teach Yasuna a few words.But since he wants to teach him a lesson, Ieyasu has to explain his private intentions and political strategies, and this cannot but be avoided at present. Ieyasu once chatted with people around him, and suddenly said: "It's really difficult!" He frowned, and then said: "I'm talking about Xiaopingta. Think about it, isn't Nananosuke already Have you come to Beijing yet?" The said Nananosuke is Hiraiwa Omokichi who is the head accountant. He is a daimyo under Ieyasu who manages Shangzhou Stable Bridge City and owns the territory of 33,000 stones.According to the system established by Ieyasu, his subordinate daimyos in Kanto came to Fushimi Castle in turn.Yasumasa Sakakibara's time limit in Fushimi Castle has long passed. He was supposed to take a rotation with Heiwa and go back to his territory as soon as possible.But he ran around in order to mediate the disputes of the Uki family, and he had no intention of leaving Fushimi and returning to the fief. Ieyasu said: "This man is really stupid. It seems that he is doing it for a little thank you!" If the mediation is successful, Yuxijia will reward the mediator with money and goods.Ieyasu was talking about this.No, needless to say, Ieyasu didn't think Yasumasa was such a person either.However, on such an occasion, he had to say so.Jia Liang reckoned that these words of his would reach the ears of the person concerned, Kang Zheng, who would be so angry that he would leave immediately to return to his fief.As long as this is the case, Ieyasu's goal will be achieved.Ieyasu is probably a person who is naturally good at using tactics. Even when he mobilizes and directs his subordinates, he often adopts this kind of implicit method.It can even be said that using tricks has almost become a hobby of his. As expected.Kang Zheng was very angry when he heard the bad things about Ieyasu behind his back.Every time Kangzheng saw his friends, he complained to Jiayasu: "Does he think I am that kind of person?" went. Since Kang Zheng quit, the mediation failed.Kichitsu could not convince those stubborn Bizen people by himself, and in the end even Kichitsu himself gave up. Xiujia had to deal with the dispute in person.Ukita Sakyo Ryo and others who occupied the Bizen Island Mansion in Osaka insisted on coming to Fushimi Castle and forced Hideo to negotiate with them. They demanded: "Master, please hand over the Nakamura Criminal Department to us!" Although Zuo Jingliang's words were very polite, his attitude was very rude and a little arrogant. Now that the matter had developed to such a point, even though he was his master, he would not hesitate to fight with him.In the future, this Sakyo Ryo changed his name to Dewamori Sakazaki, and became Ieyasu's name.Later, he launched the legendary Qianji disturbance. Not only that, this person will do everything according to his own ideas, make troubles at every turn, and finally kill himself. It can be said that he is a person who likes to make troubles by nature.On this occasion, even though the Xiu family has some political influence, it must be very difficult to resolve the dispute satisfactorily.After hearing Zuo Jingliang's words, Xiujia became angry. "The Ministry of Punishment is also my retainer. If I betray him and hand him over to you, then I will have no face among the warriors. Please forgive me for this matter." Xiujia wanted to use these words to convince this lunatic elder who was of the same clan as him.However, Zuo Jingliang became more and more aggressive, making it impossible to deal with.It turned out that this Thunder God-like character and his appearance were a little different.The monk's head is shiny and shiny, without a trace of hair left. He vowed to "not grow his hair until the demands are fulfilled!" and compelled those in his party to do the same. The next day, Zuo Jingliang came again. However, Xiujia was in a good mood that day.Nakamura's criminal department was the cause of the dispute. Hideka had a detailed talk with him, gave him a sum of money, and secretly let him go back to Kaga last night. Xiujia said: "The Ministry of Punishment has sneaked away." Zuo Jingliang didn't believe it, and stared at Xiujia, meaning, you are lying.It was a bit unbearable for Xiujia to face his rude and rude attitude.But at this moment, there is no other way but to be patient.Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. Since this Zuo Jingliang has already recruited seven of the ten elders as his henchmen and forced the Xiu family to negotiate with him, if he does not do well, he will ruin his family by this guy dead.It can be said that at this time, tolerance is the only weak political ability possessed by the Xiu family. "If you don't believe me so much, you should search the mansion inside and out. If you search and the Criminal Department is not there, then it's your fault, and I can't easily forgive you." Because of what Hideka said, on this day, Zuo Jingliang and his group had no choice but to retreat and return to the Bizen Island Mansion in Osaka Castle.However, one of Hideka's subordinates informed Zuo Jingliang and reported to Osaka that it was Hideya who released the Ministry of Justice. After Zuo Jingliang heard the news, he was furious and threatened: "Well, since the master is protecting the Ministry of Punishment so much, then the master is our enemy!" After that, he built watchtowers in various key points of the Bizen Mansion, set up deer villages, lit bonfires at night, and began to prepare for war.Of course, if things are left unchecked, street fighting will break out in Osaka, the capital of the Toyotomi regime.As Hideyori's acting administrator, Ieyasu could no longer turn a deaf ear to this, and finally conducted an investigation as the boss, and made a confession to the perpetrator.Originally, the family elders who rebelled against their masters were naturally sentenced to commit seppuku.But Ieyasu was lenient with them. Ieyasu put them in "exile control", and at the same time called them to his mansion, and asked his subordinates to say to these people: "Your feelings are completely understandable. When I have a chance in the future, I will pardon you again. "And during the control period, Ieyasu also sent people to send firewood, rice, oil and salt to help them.These people are very grateful to Ieyasu and swear allegiance to him.Those who were assigned were Ukita Sakyoyo, Higo Moritogawa, Shima Mori Hanabou and Hanabou Subei.These people all joined Ieyasu's side in the battle of Sekigahara in the future.Zuo Jingliang and Hihou Shou became daimyos, Shimo Shou became the leader of the personal army with a fief of 6,000 shi, and Assistant Guard became the confidant of Ieyasu's staff. The impact of such loss on Yuxi's family is far more serious than what was mentioned above.Since these elders left, a large number of their servants also left.It can be said that the number of troops Yu Xiduo can mobilize has been reduced by about 30%. Many years later, when Ieyasu recalled this incident, he recalled the past and said: "Jibu Shaosuke is a bit abnormal." He also said, if I were Shaosuke Jibu, I would help the Xiu family with some ideas and try to resolve the disputes of the Uki family internally, so that there would not be so many criminals in it anyway.This incident greatly reduced Yuxi's family's personnel, and as a result, the combat effectiveness on the Guanyuan battlefield was correspondingly weakened.At that time, Jibu Shaosuke failed to have such a foresight.First of all, he only regarded this matter as a small dispute in someone else's family, and it had nothing to do with it, so he didn't take any measures.From this point of view alone, Shaosuke Jibu was not my opponent in the first place.He lacks strategic vision. ... However, in Ieyasu's words, there is a lot of optimism that recalls the past.In fact, on the Sekigahara battlefield, Ieyasu had several moments of almost total despair. Ieyasu originally wanted to decide the outcome of this great battle before the Battle of Sekigahara.He used all methods to instigate rebellion against the major names of the enemy who participated in the Western Army, and obtained guarantees from them to support them from within the Western Army.He even did work for Mori, the commander of the Western Army. The general of the Mori's army, Yoshikawa Hiroe, and the elder of the Mori family, Fukuhara Hirotoshi, and others, had promised to respond from the inside.Ieyasu even made a secret agreement with them, and they promised not to send a single soldier or fire a single shot on the battlefield.When he left Edo and headed to the battlefield, Ieyasu was confident that he would win.The evidence is: during the march, even when Hideaki Kobayakawa sent secret envoys twice to ask for Ieyasu's internal response, he used the words "the villain's words are not credible, so don't pay attention to him", and he ignored them both times. . The war between the eastern and western armies kicked off with the western army attacking Fushimi Castle, which was guarded by Ieyasu's general.Xiujia was selected as the commander-in-chief of this siege force composed of 40,000 Western troops. Considering the high official position of the Xiu family and the large number of troops it owns, it may be taken for granted that he should be the commander.Before Hideyoshi's father, Naoie, died, when Hideyoshi was still surnamed Hashiba, he once stood next to his sick bed and promised, "Needless to mention Bizen and Misaku, I will definitely train Hachiro into a member who can command an army to gallop all over Japan." General." Hideyoshi's words came true out of accidental reasons. "Really? Call me to command!" As Xiujia said so, he was as happy as an innocent child.In this complex moment of changing political situation, only he has no political scruples, just out of a sense of justice that young people often have-to fight for the late Taihe's bequeathed son Hideyori. Ishida Mitsunari is the mastermind behind this campaign against Ieyasu. Recently, even the few private activities that he and Mitsunari have been working with day and night can't help but make people feel suspicious.At such a moment, the only person that 30% can completely trust is this Bizen Chunayan. Ishida Mitsunari once said: "Only Bizen Chunagen can tell the truth, without having to consider strategies and tricks." This probably means that when speaking to the Xiu family, there is no need to emphasize that the political situation is beneficial to our side, and there is no need to promise benefits after the victory of the war.When entrusting him to do something, just tell him the actual situation of the matter frankly, and he will really help you shoulder the burden.Moreover, in terms of the Western Army, Ukita's troops were much larger than other troops, and the Bizen soldiers under Hideka's command were very brave in battle, because the main general Hideka's temperament hated timidity and liked bravery.For the reasons mentioned above, it seems that this Ukita force of 17,000 men will become the main force of the Western Army. Xiujia led 70 generals and 40,000 troops. After making various arrangements, he began the battle to attack Fushimi Castle.It didn't take long before the city was captured. Afterwards, Xiujia let the troops rest in Osaka, and soon passed through Ise, entered Ogaki Castle in the Mino Plain, and then took advantage of the moonlight, marched in the rain, and rushed to the scheduled battlefield in the Guanyuan Basin. In the west, the foothills of Mount Tianman, commonly known as Mount Tianman, were used as a position to divide the entire army into five echelons.In front of Xiu's base camp, there is a handsome red flag.From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, Ukita's military flags are planted everywhere, and each flag has Ukita's family crest—a big round drum—painted on a white background.When the sky brightened, the formation was completed. It wasn't long before Ieyasu made his move. He sent troops from Akasaka in the Mino Plain, followed the Western Army, and after a rapid march day and night, he arrived at Sekigahara at dawn and formed a formation with a total of 80,000 troops. However, the weather did not allow for war.The fog was so dense that it was difficult to tell whether the enemy was ours or not. The two armies of the East and the West stood firm on their positions and could not move.After eight o'clock in the morning, the morning fog began to dissipate.At the same time, the first shots were fired. The battle began with an assault on the Western Army by a force of 6,000 men led by Masanori Fukushima, the vanguard of the Eastern Army.Fighting from the front is Ukita Hideka's troops.As soon as the two sides fought, it immediately turned into a fierce battle. The vanguard of the Fukushima army was frustrated and retreated, and was finally forced to retreat several hundred meters.Zheng Zheng was furious. Waving the silver handsome flag, he ran to supervise the battle at the front, trying to save the defeat, but he still couldn't stop the fierce counterattack of Yu Xiduo's troops. Seeing the defeat of the vanguard, the Eastern Army panicked.Kato Yoshiaki's troops and Tsutsui's troops immediately went into battle, trying to break through the flank of Ukita's troops, but they were also beaten to pieces, and retreated with Fukushima's troops. Xiujia sat firmly on the folding stool placed on the high ground at the foot of the mountain, looking down at the battle situation below.The combat guidance of the army is served by Akashi Sabu Zento, and the troops arranged into five echelons are commanded by Yanyuan Tosa, Ukita Taro Zaemon, Osafune Yoshihei, and Honda Masashige. Under the command of his general, the soldiers fought with almost incredible bravery. This can be said to be a lonely battle. Due to Ieyasu's instigation work in advance, 70% of the troops in the Western Army stood still and did not fire a single shot, sticking to the position.Only the remaining thirty percent are fighting.The main force of the 30% of the troops is Ukita's troops, other than that, there are only two troops of Ishida Mitsunari and Otani Yoshitsugu.The other 70 percent of the troops watched the battle from the sidelines, motionless as if they were asleep.Seeing that 70% of the troops of the Western Army stood idly by, Ieyasu felt that the victory was already in his hands. "What kind of troops are the opponents participating in the battle?" Ieyasu ordered spies to be dispatched, and it was found out in the mist that only the above three units participated in the battle in the Western Army.From Ieyasu's point of view, 30% lacked strategy, Hideka was just a brat, and Otani Yoshitsugu was a man of some intelligence, but his position was low and the number of troops he commanded was small.In addition, Ji Ji suffered from leprosy, and his skin was so festered that he could not even wear armor to fight. But as the clouds cleared and time passed, the battle situation gradually showed the opposite of Ieyasu's earlier optimistic estimate.As 30% of the Western Army's troops fought desperately, the Eastern Army's entire line was in disarray, and it was almost impossible to convey Ieyasu's orders. A situation emerged in which the friendly troops did not communicate with each other and fought on their own.Ieyasu may have never seen the troops under his command become so fragmented and disintegrated in his life. However, despite the failure of many attacks and being repelled by the enemy, Masanori Fukushima, who shouted at the soldiers on the line of fire and commanded the battle, firmly believed from his rich actual combat experience: "This time we will definitely win." Because Ukita's troops, who were constantly attacking the front of their own troops, did not attack deeply despite their fierce offensive.If the Fukushima troops retreated four to five hundred meters, they would stop pursuing them, fearing that they would go straight to the center of the basin and dare not deal a fatal blow to the Fukushima troops.The enemy's style of play is really strange. However, Zhengzheng understands why the opponent adopts this style of play.This is because Ukita's troops have no friendly troops to back them up.The generals of the Western Army have set up positions on the surrounding hills, foothills, and on both sides of the road, but they do not intend to support the attack of Ukita's troops. "The enemy has only one floor and no backup, so don't be afraid!" When Zheng Zheng discovered the reason for the enemy's way of fighting, he yelled so loudly to encourage his soldiers who were beaten and fled in disorder.From Zheng Ze's point of view, although Yuxiduo's troops are extremely ferocious, they will eventually become exhausted and exhausted. In order to restore the decline, Zhengzheng carried out several counter-charges.Therefore, looking down from the positions on the hills around the basin, you can only see the Sando flag of the Fukushima family and the Guwen flag of the Ukita family advancing and retreating, retreating and advancing; above the battlefield, smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and the sun; Sometimes it shows a state of canine teeth; suddenly one side chases the other side, and then one side is chased by the other side.The two sides fought inextricably, without distinguishing the outcome.At about eleven o'clock in the morning, the Ishida Mitsunari troops of the Western Army also repelled the attack of the Eastern Army troops on the frontal position. Otani's troops were about to break into the center of the basin on a large scale. They moved closer, but they just rolled up a vortex of several troops and horses in vain, and failed to stop the advance of the Western Army. But by twelve noon, the situation on the battlefield had reversed. This is because Hideaki Kobayakawa, who was in formation on Mt. The snake array was cut into several sections, divided and surrounded, and almost wiped it out.Otani Yoshiji committed suicide by throwing a knife.As a result, Ukita's troops were surrounded by more than half of the Eastern Army and fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness. Xiujia couldn't figure out what was going on with this instantaneous change.The first sentence he blurted out at this moment was: "That was done by Jin Wu? It couldn't be him!" Xiujia couldn't believe it was true.Since before the start of the war, Ishida Mitsunari and other leaders of the Western Army have always had doubts about Jin Wu Xiuqiu, but Hideka is always optimistic. He said this to both Ishida Mitsunari and Otani Yoshitsugu: "Xiuqiu's rebellion? Then It is impossible." Xiujia's reason was extremely simple, just like his personality. The reason is just this: "Xiuqiu is Taihe's adopted son." The view of the Xiu family is that Xiuqiu has received great kindness from Taihe.I am also an adopted son, we are on the same side, I understand his thoughts.Even if everyone else betrayed Xiu Lai, Xiu Qiu would not have such evil intentions at all.I can guarantee him that Jin Wu will not betray at all.Xiujia just kept talking about this meaning, and it seemed that he believed it sincerely.Ishida Mitsunari once commented on Hideka behind his back: "This is a carefree person." In fact, since raising troops to attack Ieyasu, Mitsunari has never discussed such a complicated political situation with Hideka almost once. Pass. However, Hideo understands the strangeness of the human world through the extraordinary situation that is rapidly changing the battlefield.Xiujia, a lover of poetry, might have become a second- or third-rate poet if the times were peaceful. Through this incident, he did not so much realize that he was insensitive to politics, but that he I feel extremely angry at Xiuqiu's ungratefulness.Xiujia shouted: "Jin Wu, boy, you can't spare him!" Now it's not a question of whether to forgive or not. Right now, Yu Xiduo's troops are beaten to pieces by the Eastern Army, and they are almost defeated.At the moment, Xiujia only thinks about one thing: Jin Wu cannot be spared.Or it can be said that he has already made up his mind to die for this.He quickly stood up from the folding stool and ordered: "Lead me the horse!" He said that he would immediately drive his horse into Kobayakawa's army, find Jin Wu, and fight him to the death.The Xiu family shouted: "Heaven will not tolerate it!" He stepped on the stirrup, jumped, and rode on the horse. At this time, Akashi Saobu took the reins of the horse and advised him, "My lord, this is not suitable!" According to the practice when losing a battle, the sweep department wants the main general Xiujia to escape from the battlefield.Looking to the northeast, the sweeping department saw that the Sasao Mountain position guarded by Ishida Mitsunari had also fallen, and the handsome flag with the words "Good Luck" fluttering in the wind just now on the top of the mountain was no longer there. From this, Ishida Mitsunari had also escaped. .The sweeping department told the story. The young poet replied: "Jibu Shao is Zhibu Shao, and I am me." Hideka said: "Master Jibu may have launched this war to realize his political ambitions, but I came here to fight based on my own beliefs. I don't care about other things. I just want to fight with all my heart. In accordance with the will of the late His Highness Taihe, he supported Duke Hideyori to rule the world, and made an all-out effort. Taihe's will, and Duke Hideyoshi's world, were all ruined by Jin Wu, an ungrateful man. I can’t carry out my beliefs other than to use this sword to defeat Jin Wu, a rebellious species.” Xiujia wanted to continue, but Saobu didn’t listen to him, and quickly rolled up the handsome flag and broke it. Flagpole then ordered the soldiers of the Xiu family to protect the Xiu family and leave the battlefield quickly.秀家被卫侍部队的一股人马推拥着向西边落荒而去。 秀家战败之后，宇喜多家也随之而灭亡了。但是，在秀吉为了维护丰臣家而一手提拔的好几个养子当中，唯有这位秀家报答了养父秀吉对他的期望。 在这之后的秀家的境遇，则是属于另外的主题了。战后他逃到了萨摩，偷偷地藏在岛津氏的公馆里，受他的庇护。后来，岛津氏投降了幕府，他的身份败露。岛津氏及其夫人的娘家——前田家一起向德川幕府恳求，请求饶他一命，为此，才幸免一死。他曾一度被送到骏河国，幽禁在该国的久能地方。 家康大概是觉得“用不着杀了”。 关原之战以后，石田三成和安国寺的和尚惠琼，以及小西行长等主谋，都被处了死刑，他们的首级被放在京都的河滩上示众。家康认为，秀家原来就没有被三成他们当作政治人物来看待。三成等人仅仅是看重他的侠义心肠和战斗力，才请他入伙的。诚然，在关原的主战场上，秀家曾起过那么大的作用，使东军多次陷入危险的境地。然而，事情既然已经过去，也就算了。现在的秀家，已经是个微不足道的人物了。 后来，秀家又从久能发配到在江户城以南一百二十里之遥海面上的孤岛——八丈岛上。秀家在这个岛上足足住了四十年。他在岛上的生活始终十分贫苦。日常的工作就是编草席，然后把它换成食物，这样来勉强维持生活。“要是能吃一顿白米饭，就是死了也心甘。”这是他常说的一句口头禅。这话传到了江户。有一年，一艘便船来到八丈岛，给他带来了几草袋的大米。赠米的是他过去的家臣志摩守花房。此人在关原之战中参加了家康一方，现在在江户享受着荣华富贵呢。这么做，大概是因为对过去的主人有点负疚之感吧。 秀家死于明历元年（1655）的冬天，终年八十四岁高龄。在这之前，秀赖也死了，家康也死了；德川幕府也已经到了第四代，即家纲将军这一代了。秀家，这个被流放的囚徒，关原战场上的失败者，却比胜利者中的任何人都活得长久。
