Chapter 432 35. Honda Yahachi's Initial Proposal

"What are the details! Tell me in detail!"

Taira didn't remember Mikawa's affairs very clearly, but he was sure that Matsudaira Ieyasu was fine. He finally succeeded in suppressing Ikke and unified most of Mikawa.

However, Mikawa has always known Xiaoping Tai's memory of how the two sides interacted with each other and how they battled wits and courage during the one year period is somewhat vague.

Okazaki Castle, the headquarters of the Anjo Matsudaira clan, was run by three generations of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, Matsudaira Hirotada, and Matsudaira Ieyasu. Among them, Imagawa Yoshimoto greatly strengthened and repaired it. In terms of city defense level, it is definitely not bad, far better than ordinary walled cities.

Matsudaira Ieyasu in the city had several hardcore thugs. The Okubo family who started the rebellion with his grandfather was one of the most hardcore members and would never surrender to the enemy.

As for the other Torii, Ishikawa and others, since they have gained power in the Matsudaira family, they will not abandon their existing power to rebel and seize power.

Then his city is in a strange state!

Aji drank two bowls of hot tea one after another and felt relieved. He handed the slightly wet coat to his sister Xiaonai and asked her to help dry it. He himself stretched his hand towards the fire pit, warming himself while talking.

Sanhe's Yikui is actually a general outburst of the Chinese people's Yikui, the local Yikui and the Xiang Yikui. Matsudaira Ieyasu managed the country in such a terrible way. He had never seen another Daimyo Koheta who was so angry and resentful that the whole country turned against him.

From temples to town residents, from fields to farmers, from lords to local tycoons, they all rose up in droves to oppose the rule of Matsudaira Ieyasu. Matsudaira Ieyasu, who was able to unite everyone from all walks of life, grades, and identities to resist, was in a sense a "hero".

It's easy to offend one person, it's easy to offend a group of people, it's easy to offend the entire Three Rivers Country! Awesome!

The Yikui Army began to merge on a large scale in the early stages of the uprising. As soon as everyone heard that they were going to beat Matsudaira Ieyasu, they gathered around as if they were going on an outing together.

Mikawa's original shogunate, thanks to the blessing of Imagawa Yoshimoto, killed half of Matsudaira Ieyasu in Bamian Mountain. The most powerful Chinese noble family was shaved again by Taiyuan Xuezhai Zen Master. The rest are cats and dogs, or rookies with average or lower strength.

But a rookie is a rookie, and everyone must understand the truth that an elephant will be killed if there are too many ants.

Watanabe Moritsuna, Haeya Sadji, Natsume Yoshinobu, Naito Kiyonaga, Kato Kyouaki [Note 1], Ina Tadake [Note 2], Kira Yoshiaki, Arakawa Yoshihiro, Ishikawa Jurozaemon, Watanabe Takatsuna , Yada Sakujuro and other countless Mikawa samurai took actions hostile to Matsudaira Ieyasu.

The two sides fought fiercely back and forth. In the early days, although a group of troops rose up and attacked Okazaki Castle, their troops were too weak to capture Okazaki suddenly. After missing this great opportunity, Mikawa and his troops turned to attack the branch castles that were still loyal to Matsudaira Ieyasu.

Matsudaira Ieyasu had no choice but to gather troops to protect Okazaki first. Therefore, the Songping City of Nishisanhe slowly fell one by two. On the surface, everyone seemed to be victorious, but the crisis began to lurk.

They were originally a group of people who gathered to resist tyranny. Their flag-bearers were mainly two people, one was Matsudaira Michiharu of the Sakurai Matsudaira clan, and the other was Yoshiaki Kira, the lord of Tojo Castle, and his compatriot Yoshihiro Arakawa.

When the two of them fought together against Matsudaira Ieyasu, they were able to put aside their prejudices and ride out the same boat for the time being. But seeing that Matsudaira Ieyasu was about to end, the two parties inevitably began to divide the spoils unevenly and internal strife continued.

Originally, the Matsudaira clan started a rebellion that year, and the Kira clan was beaten to the point where they cried for their father and mother. The deep hatred between Matsudaira Michiharu and Kira Yoshiaki for three generations, now that the situation is good, they are about to flip the table and fight.

Although Matsudaira Ieyasu is just starting out, he is also aware of the conflicts within the group. He is determined to win one after another and the people who share the spoils unevenly will temporarily retreat after the snowfall and start a war of words to grab the fruits of victory.

Therefore, some of the retainers who were originally reunited in Okazaki were sent home by him. After all, Okazaki Castle was not rich either, and a few thousand mouths could eat up Matsudaira Ieyasu.

The most important one among them is the Okubo Party of Okubo Tadashi. His family's home city is Kamiwada Castle. Due to its strong strength, it withstood the attack of the Ichikubo people. Now Okubo Tadashi has returned with his troops, and everything is safe.

But a few months ago, the snow in Mikawa was not as heavy as that in Shinano. A group of people led by Yada Sakujuro and others made a surprise attack on Wada Castle. Unfortunately, this one was so bad that it made Tadashi Okubo break out in a cold sweat.

Shanghotan City was not captured, and they were unable to advance and were unwilling to retreat. Yikui found the people in a dilemma below the city.

Okubo Tadashi gave full play to his subjective initiative and wrote to Matsudaira Ieyasu: "I have one or two thousand rookies in the city, who are very useless. We should work together to kill him. This will not only create a bad breath, but also boost the morale of our side."

Matsudaira Ieyasu saw that what he said made sense, and immediately sent Ishikawa Sumasa and a few others to investigate and confirm that all the people under Kamiwada Castle were really rookies and did not look like an army.

Then do it!

Matsudaira Ieyasu led a thousand soldiers, and Okubo Tadayo led 400 soldiers, attacking from both sides. He directly beat Sakujuro Yata away. More than a thousand people were killed and injured, and hundreds of others were scattered.

Matsudaira Ieyasu was happy. After two months, he finally let go of his bad breath and won a victory. It dampened the arrogance of the Yikui people and strengthened the Songping Army's will to resist.

While Matsudaira Ieyasu and Okubo Tadashi were happily cleaning the battlefield and sorting out the seized supplies, Torii Motodaka, who stayed behind in Okazaki, surrendered with the remaining troops after being defeated.

Ieyasu Matsudaira was shocked when he asked!

Okazaki was lost!

When asked again, he sighed dejectedly!

The two brothers Honda Yahachi and Honda Sanya spread the news among the Ikki in advance that Ieyasu Matsudaira secretly transferred part of the money and grain to Kamivada Castle, saying that the cunning rabbit had three burrows and was preparing for the war in the spring.

As expected, a lot of profit-seeking people among the Ikki gathered together, and under the leadership of Yada Sakujuro, they happily attacked Kamivada Castle. A mob, very realistic.

And Honda Yahachi had already persuaded the master of Mikawa Honshoji Temple. After Honda Sanya confirmed that Ieyasu Matsudaira was going to rescue Kamivada Castle, he directly led hundreds of monks and more than 2,000 Ikko Ikki to attack Okazaki.

The city was broken!

[Note 1]: There is no need to care about this person. He is a bitch among the bitch, the kind who disappears after appearing once. But he has a son. Kato Yoshiaki, the 400,000-koku daimyo of Aizu, Mutsu, is his son. The Mikawa Ikko Ikki lost more than one or two people.

[Note 2]: That’s right, the names look very similar, Ina Tadatsugu’s biological father. Another big boss’s father, don’t worry too much, he only appears once and that’s it.
