Chapter 34 Jing Sheng refused to surrender
The three positions of the Uesugi family were also set up along Yukawa, with a total of 11,000 people, while the four positions of the Toyotomi Army reached an astonishing 76,000 people, and whoever lost won and won was judged. Although Hideopo was confident of taking Wakamatsu, in order to reduce casualties, he still sent diplomatic monk Xi Xiao Chengtui into the city to persuade him to surrender.
Naoe Kensuke and Nishikoku Chengtui had always had relationships. It was Hideo's painstaking efforts to bring the old man from Kyoto from thousands of miles away. According to Hideo's request, Nishiko Chengtui tried his best to persuade Uesugi Keikaku to surrender, and hinted that this was his last chance. If he couldn't grasp it, with Hideoho's strong strength, within half a day, the sea of fire inside and outside the city of Matsu.
When he learned that Hideopo led an army of 150,000 to attack him, Uesugi Keisaki had indeed wavered several times. It was not that he did not want to surrender, but he was unwilling to fail. Although the risk factor of the strategy he had formulated with the Tokugawa family was high, if it was successful, the Uesugi family could restore its ancestral property. It was a great achievement. How could such temptation be easily rejected? After learning that Hideopo's army arrived at the south bank of Yukawa, Uesugi Keisaki specially climbed the Heavenly Guardian Platform to look up and looked at it. He saw that the southern bank of Yukawa, which was still very desolate yesterday, was now full of flags, and camps were waving everywhere, with smoke rising from the cooking fires and crowds. Dozens of big red barbarians were scattered on the front line, and the number of iron cannons was tens of thousands, with great momentum never happening except for Odawara ten years ago.
In comparison, the position of the Uesugi army in the north of Sichuan was pitifully small. The loose military camp and the large tube made by more than ten local craftsmen seemed particularly deserted on the vast land outside the city. Although 12,000 is an unattainable number for ordinary daimyos, compared with the Toyotomi army of 150,000 on the other side, it is a small wizard. Xixiao Chengdui said it right. If the Toyotomi army has fully firepowered, if Matsu Castle is in a short time, if Matsu Castle is buried in the fire, the 70,000 Toyotomi army will launch an attack together. How can the Uesugi army's 10,000 troops be stopped? Ideally, it may be able to withstand it for one or two days. If it is pessimistic, it will probably not be able to hold on for half a day. How can the Toyotomi army persist until the Toyotomi army arrives?
Thinking of this, Uesugi Keikaru tentatively asked Xi Xiao Chengtui: "Have you informed the master of the right government, what will happen if our army opened the city?"
"At least you should keep your family's name." Xi Xiao Chengdui narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly: "It is already a great favor to commit such a rebellion. Your Highness should not make too many extravagant hopes."
"Oh...that's all..." Uesugi Keikaku lowered his head and remained silent. Naoe Kensuke, who was sitting behind him, said with dissatisfaction: "I have not used force to the Right Mansion, nor have I said that I want to overthrow Young Master Hidelai. How could he treat me so harshly?"
Xixiao Chengtui sighed and said leisurely: "Although I did not fight with the Right Mansion, what about Ida? The Uesugi family's nearly 1.2 million shi's property made the Right Mansion feel uneasy, but you used force at this time, just giving everyone in Osaka a justification. If you don't treat you, the big elders, how can you establish your prestige? Wouldn't the status of Young Master Hirolai be crumbling?"
"Master, the reason why I attacked the most is because of my family and Torata..." Naoe Kensuke was about to tell the truth, but was interrupted by Uesugi Keika. He glared at Naoe Kensuke and asked coldly: "Master, if you plead with the Right Mansion, can I retain some of my territory?"
"Your Highness respects me so much, but since you are willing to surrender, I might as well give it a try. After all, I am a monk. Being able to resolve a fight can be considered accumulating virtue." Xi Xiao Chengdu nodded slightly, stood up and left Ruosong.
In less than two hours, Nishi Xiao Chengtui went to Honmaru again. This time the expression on his face could be described as a smile. Seeing that he was in such a good mood, Uesugi Keikaku ordered someone to serve tea, he asked excitedly: "How is the master talking to Youfu?"
"I have not let down Your Highness's trust, and this matter has finally been discussed." Xi Xiaochengdui took a sip of tea and replied with relief.
"Thank you so much for the master," Uesugi Keikaku bowed slightly and continued to ask, "Can you say it in detail?"
"Twenty-hundred thousand!" Xi Xiao Chengtui stretched out two fingers and said proudly: "Yama, Kawama, Onuma, 200,000 stones, the right palace's sincerity should understand, right?"
"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Uesugi Keika's face turned cloudy, and he sneered: "Wouldn't even Ruomatsu Castle take it away?"
"That's nothing to do," Xixiao Chengtui said helplessly, "Youfu said that the new palace city in Yema County is a good place to go, you can move the city there..."
"Enough," Uesugi Keisaki roared in a low voice, "Youfu is too underestimating my Jingsheng's determination. Well, since that's the case, I just want to make me die and have to fight to the death."
"Your Highness is not satisfied with the conditions of the Right Mansion?" Xi Xiaochengdui said in surprise, "The Right Mansion is already magnanimous."
"Then let him reward the 200,000 stones to the meritorious ministers!" Uesugi Keikaku suddenly stood up, turned around and left the Imperial Palace. Naoe Kensuke looked at Xixiao Chengtui with an awkward expression, and then arranged for the Xiao surname to send him out of the city. It seemed that there was no hope for the city without blood.
Learning that Uesugi Keikaku was unwilling to surrender, Hideo said to Takato Fujido: "The 200,000 is indeed a little less, so why not add it to 400,000?"
"No!" Fujido Takato shook his head quickly and said seriously: "Not to mention that the family now has an advantage. Even if the two armies are evenly matched, our family has the right to master the righteousness, and Uesugi Keikaku is a traitor. What qualifications are there to bargain? Two hundred thousand is the limit. If it is doubled casually, wouldn't this make those Daimyos who go on the expedition with the army feel disheartened? Since the Uesugi family is unwilling to surrender, then I might as well just capture Ruomatsu in one go. Isn't it nice to use one million, one hundred and fourteen thousand to reward meritorious ministers?"
"That's right, but once the war starts, there will be casualties..." Hideopo wanted to speak, and after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and immediately launched a full-scale attack on the Uesugi family.
"Every great monarch has countless corpses under his feet, and the lord should have this kind of awareness." Takato Fujido looked at Hideo excitedly. In his opinion, the success or failure of this battle was the key to whether the Yamato Toyotomi could dominate the world, and there was no reason to retreat.
"Monarch?" Xiu Bao smiled in surprise, "I'm just a look at Xiu Lai, Gao Hu, you are getting bolder."
"Taoge was originally just the commander of Nobunaga Duke's legion, what's the result?" Fujido Takato "cited the classics and followed the classics" and did not allow Hideopo to gain the upper hand.
"Okay, I didn't think so much." Xiubao waved his hand and said calmly: "First solve the things in front of you. Xiulai is the heir of Taige after all. I am a branch and cannot have the idea of being arrogant. Don't incite everywhere. Recently, I think there are many people in my family who have such ideas."
"That's all spontaneous by the adults, and I have never participated." Fujido Takato hurriedly cleared his relationship, "Since the lord doesn't want to listen, I won't mention it in the future."
