Chapter 516 A big game of chess

Chen Yan said with a smile: "If it were you who was a humble person, how could you beat Tokugawa Iashi without being worse?"

Qianchuan replied without hesitation: "What's so difficult about this? All you need to do is kill Tokugawa Ieqi and Tokugawa Ieki, father and son, and the leaderless shogunate will fall into chaos. At this time, you only need to send a few

If a person who is good at talking and speaking sends an envoy to recruit the people of the shogunate, the rest of the problems will naturally be solved."

When Qian Chuan finished speaking, Chen Yan was stunned.

Is there anything wrong with Qian Chuan's method?

There is nothing wrong at all. The biggest problem of the Japanese country now is the struggle for power between the court and the shogunate. The Japanese court, headed by the father and son of Koge Jijin and Kuangong Huihito, want to get the power to rule the Japanese country, and the Tokugawa family Sai and the Tokugawa family

The shogunate headed by Kei and his son must not be willing to give up power, so it caused chaos and internal strife in the Japanese court. As long as people were sent to kill Tokugawa Ieki and his son, the remaining problems were indeed not a problem.

But how can the father and son Mitsukage Kihito and Kanmiya Ehito kill Tokugawa Ieqi and Tokugawa Ieki?

If you want to rely on the army, the power of Japan is in the hands of Tokugawa Jiaqi, and Guangge Jiannin has no military power at all.

If you want to rely on assassins, the number and strength of ninjas that Mitsukaku Kijin can mobilize are far inferior to those of Tokugawa Ieqi. If Tokugawa Ieqi discovers something is wrong, I am afraid that the unlucky ones will be Mitsukaku Kijin and Kanmiya.

Huiren and his son.

Chen Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "No, you are a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu. It can be said that it is easy for you to kill the Tokugawa family, but Guangge Jianren does not have the ten flags under you to use, and he

There was no way to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress the shogunate, so he couldn't directly kill the Tokugawa family and his son."

Hearing this, Qian Chuan couldn't help but frown.

Based on the analysis of these prerequisites mentioned by Chen Yan, doesn't it mean that the humble person has no chance of winning?

After thinking about it secretly, Qian Chuan could only helplessly shake his head and sighed: "If I were a humble person and had neither military power nor royal guards to mobilize, I'm afraid the best way would be to simply throw it away.

The throne, with some reliable manpower, will start a new process according to the process of raising troops by His Majesty."

However, what Qian Chuan didn't expect was that Chen Yan once again shook his head in denial: "Similar to Tokugawa Jiaqi's biggest headache just now, even if Guangge Jianren is really willing to give up the throne and start a new career, he will not be able to win over the Japanese short boy.

support, or he simply doesn’t know which side to win over.”

Qian Chuan was immediately dumbfounded. After being stunned for a long time, he asked with a confused face: "Isn't there no way?"

Chen Yan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, there is nothing we can do. Unless His Majesty comes in person, there is nothing we can do, even if it is Mr. Zeng Ge and Governor Liu who come."

"Therefore, the only way for the father and his son, Mitsuko Kikihito and Kanmiya Ehito, is to compete with the Tokugawa family. First, they can bring the Tokugawa family to the same level as them, and then come in the name of righteousness.

Suppress the Tokugawa family."

Qianchuan asked stupidly: "Then you still tell Tokugawa Ieki to get help from those daimyo?"

Chen Yan chuckled and did not answer Qian Chuan's question directly. Instead, he asked inexplicably: "Can you Jin Yiwei imitate the methods of Japanese ninjas to get rid of Guangge Jianren?"

Qian Chuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded directly and said, "Imitate their methods? Are you trying to blame Tokugawa Jiaqi?"

Chen Yan thought about it secretly and hummed: "Yes, let Tokugawa Ieqi gain the upper hand first, and then get rid of the unscrupulous people, let Tokugawa Ieqi bear the reputation of killing his lord, and then find a random daimyo."

Supporting it, this is the way to maximize benefits."

Qian Chuan's whole body was numb, and when he looked at Chen Yan, his eyes were filled with strangeness and disbelief: "Did you deceive him by what you told Tokugawa Ieki before?"

Chen Yanhe sneered and said with disdain: "Of course I deceived him. Do I really support him to become the leader of the Japanese country? Don't forget, he is the general of the Edo shogunate, and he has actually controlled

After losing the power of the Japanese country, if he is allowed to be canonized as the leader of the Japanese country, will the Japanese country still be in chaos?"

Was it difficult to let Tokugawa Iesai gain the upper hand?

It's not difficult actually.

If Chen Yan is really determined to support Tokugawa Ieqi, no matter what methods Guangge Jianren uses to cause trouble for Tokugawa Ieqi, it will actually be useless, because the referee is Chen Yan.

Even if Chen Yan doesn't intend to cause trouble as a referee, he can still let Qian Chuan secretly help Tokugawa Jiaqi and get rid of those people sent by Guangge Jianren to cause trouble.

However, the crux of the problem is that a ruler who firmly controls the Japanese country in terms of both status and real power will be willing to be a dog for the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Chen Yan had no intention from the beginning to make Tokugawa Jiaqi the leader of the Japanese country.

The reason why Chen Yan hinted that he would support Tokugawa Ieqi was actually because of the Ishima Ginzan promised by Tokugawa Ieqi.

How did Tokugawa Iashi promise?

What Tokugawa Jiaqi promised was that he would sell out the interests of Iwami Ginzan to the Ming Dynasty after he became the leader of Japan. However, before he actually became the leader of Japan, Tokugawa Jiaqi would never hand over Ishimi Ginzan.

Seeing Yinshan's interests, the most they can do is make statements in the name of joint exploration.

Because at this time, Iwami Ginzan was not only a bargaining chip for him to win the Japanese throne, but also a talisman for him.

It's just that although Tokugawa Ieki was very calculating, he still couldn't defeat Chen Yan after all. As the saying goes, a monk can touch it, and a bald man can touch it. If Tokugawa Ieki can betray Iwami Ginzan's interests, others will naturally do the same.

Able to betray Iwami Ginzan's interests.

The only problem is that Iwami Ginzan is still in the hands of the Edo shogunate. Even if others want to sell Iwami Ginzan, there is no way to bypass Tokugawa Jiaqi.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Yan went to great lengths to set up such a trap.

First express support for Tokugawa Ieqi, let Tokugawa Ieqi directly quarrel with Mitsuyoshi, and then let them start competing. When the competition is about to end, he will give Tokugawa Ieqi a knife and make Mitsuyoshi.

Ren became the final winner.

As for the bunch of encouragement in the middle and the teachings given to Tokugawa Ieki... they are basically just for fooling fools.

As long as these operations do not overturn, the final result will be obvious.

The noble and humble person who is still the leader of the Japanese country will definitely use the power of victory to attack the prestige of the Edo shogunate, and may even regain the power to rule the Japanese country. Naturally, the Tokugawa family will not be willing to fail, and will definitely

Find a way to fight back.

In this process, Jin Yiwei could have sent people to pretend to be ninjas from the Edo shogunate to kill Guangge Jianren.

Chen Yan said with a smile: "The Tokugawa family has attracted a lot of daimyo. He has no way to retreat. As long as Guange Jiren dies, he will have to rebel if he doesn't - at this time, we will support Kanomiya Megumi.

It’s a good time for Jin to succeed to the throne, and if we go back and build a new shogunate at will or directly let Tokugawa Ieki take over the shogunate, wouldn’t Iwami Ginzan fall into the hands of our Ming Dynasty?”

Qian Chuan gave a silly thumbs up and praised: "Tall, really tall. After all, you are a scholar in the political family. You have a really dark heart!"

Chen Yan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "You haven't told me yet, can you Jin Yiwei pretend to be ninjas of the Edo shogunate and kill Guangge Jianren?"

Qianchuan laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, when you need it, I will directly arrange for you a few ninjas from the Edo shogunate and ask them to go to Watanabe Eemon and Matsushita to discuss the assassination overnight.

Regarding the matter of being a shameless person, I guarantee that the last person to take action will be a dead soldier of the Edo shogunate, and even the Tokugawa family will not notice it."

This time it was Chen Yan's turn to be dumbfounded: "Can you Jin Yiwei control the dead soldiers of the Edo shogunate?"

Qian Chuan laughed loudly and said: "Why is it difficult for the Jin Yiwei to control a few dead soldiers? Let alone the dead soldiers of the Edo shogunate, even if you want the dead soldiers of the Guangge Jiren family, I will do the same

I can make arrangements for you clearly."

…

It was a coincidence that when Chen Yan and Qian Chuan were thinking about how to arrange Guangge Jianren, Guangge Jianren was also thinking about how to arrange Chen Yan.

However, Chen Yan planned to arrange Guangge Jianren's head, but Guangge Jianren planned to arrange Chen Yan's little brother.

Guangge Jianren frowned and sighed: "No one can live up to expectations, I don't even have a princess!"

Kuan Gong Huiren, who was sitting opposite Guangge Jianren, fell into silence.

Does Guangge Jianren have a princess?

In fact, there are, not only some, but several.

The problem is that Guangge Jianren's life is really screwed up. She gave birth to more than a dozen princesses, but not even one became an adult. The shorter ones died in the same year they were born, and the longer ones lived for a few years.

If he died in infancy, he would die in infancy anyway, and even Guangge Jiren's idea of ​​giving a daughter to Emperor Zhu would also die in infancy.

Then, the humble father-in-law who failed to give Emperor Zhu an advantage was thinking about how to win over Chen Yan.

Especially when Chen Yan was obviously biased, Guangge Jianren became even more anxious.

If you can directly kill Tokugawa Jiaqi without asking for Chen Yan, at least you can't be so biased anymore, right?

It's a pity that Guangge Jianren didn't think of what to do after thinking for a long time.

Send Japanese girls directly? Japanese girls are somewhat difficult to come by. After all, the Ming Dynasty Embassy in Japan is located in the most prosperous area of ​​​​Kyoto. What kind of Japanese girls do you want?

Instead of giving them away to the daughters of relatives of the Japanese royal family? That would be even worse. If any little bitch really falls in love with Chen Yan, it would be even more fatal!

After secretly having a headache for a long time, Kanmiya Huihito could only sigh helplessly and said: "Otherwise, it is better to choose a few girls from the Genji. No matter what, it will be better than him continuing to favor Tokugawa Jiaqi."

After another long moment of silence, Guangge Jianren finally nodded helplessly, and then brought the topic back to the issue of leprosy: "Have the men sent out received any reply? How many famous names are willing to follow the imperial court?

of?"

Kuan Gong Huiren shook his head slightly and sighed: "Right now, all the big names are up for grabs, and no one is willing to express their opinions easily. As for those big names who were originally biased towards the imperial court... because of the Aoi Festival, those big names are also

A little shaky."

Guangge Jianren's face suddenly turned livid: "Baga! Baga! These damn red deer! I and the imperial court gave them the honor and favor, but they! Baga!"

Kanmiya Huihito sighed: "This is why I said that we would choose a few girls from the Genji. If we don't think of ways to win over Chen Yan, I'm afraid that Chen Yan will completely fall to Tokugawa Ieqi, and the situation will be different later.

We are increasingly disadvantaged."

"In addition, I have contacted the manpower of Yagyu and Koga, but the most they can do is send dead soldiers to cause trouble for Tokugawa Ieqi, but they have no ability to directly eliminate Tokugawa Ieqi, nor can they prevent leprosy from spreading.

The Tokugawa family spread rapidly."
