Emperor Toba hesitated.
Because Minamoto no Yoshi was too cruel.
Historically, some suggested sending Yuan Weiyi to lead troops to quell the rebellion.
Emperor Toba retorted directly: "If you send Minamoto no Yoshitoshi, do you intend for all the cities and towns he passes through to be destroyed (by plundering along the way)?"
Although Emperor Toba disliked his grandfather
At this moment, however, he looked at Taira no Tadamori, the samurai whom his grandfather admired most.
Taira no Tadamori said, "I have read Sun Tzu's *The Art of War*."
"Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated."
"We still don't know why China sent troops across the sea."
"I don't know how much military force the Chinese army actually has."
"I believe we should first send an envoy to find out the truth."
"At the same time, I request that the Emperor issue an edict to all nations,"
"Summon legions and warriors from all over the land,"
"Have the provincial officials and garrison commanders prepare military provisions."
This answer greatly pleased Emperor Toba:
"Then I appoint you as the commander-in-chief."
"Control the armies of various countries."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Taira no Tadamori bowed.
The source is the righteousness that is seen.
Jealousy and resentment.
He was not favored by Emperor Shirakawa before.
They might even lose their status as northern samurai.
He worked as a security guard and managed the Fujiwara family's estate.
Now that Emperor Shirakawa is dead
His father-in-law was also Emperor Toba's father-in-law.
I'm related to Emperor Toba by marriage.
Why am I still not being valued?
Emperor Toba looked at Minamoto no Tameyoshi and admonished him:
"You assist Zhong Sheng in commanding the troops,"
"Remember, during the march, you are not allowed to let your troops plunder again!"
This guy's actions went far beyond simply robbing ordinary people.
They might even plunder the capital city and the powerful families of the prefectures and counties.
"As ordered!"
Yuan Weiyi immediately knelt down and bowed.
I felt a little better.
But I'm still not satisfied.
Taira no Tadamori then said, "Your Majesty, I wish to personally go to Iwami Province."
"To use the identity of an envoy to ascertain the enemy's strengths and weaknesses."
Emperor Toba praised, "Excellent, you are worthy of being entrusted with important matters."
Chapter 3212 Dasen Mountain
The two men withdrew and went home.
Taira no Tadamori married the younger sister of Gion no Nyoro (a concubine of Emperor Shirakawa) (Ike Zenni).
It could be said that he and Emperor Shirakawa were brothers-in-law.
There is even a rumor that
Emperor Shirakawa took the pregnant Gion Lady as his concubine.
She secretly gave her to Taira no Tadamori as a concubine.
What was in her belly,
That was the future famous Taira no Kiyomori.
Taira no Tadamori was highly respected among the samurai of the north.
Emperor Toba wanted to inherit this armed force.
We must rely on and give him important positions.
Compared to that, Yuan Weiyi is nothing.
Genji went straight to his father-in-law Fujiwara no Tadashi's house and immediately said:
"The Emperor Emeritus appointed Taira no Tadamori to command the troops,"
"I can only be his assistant,"
"This shows that the Emperor does not trust you, Your Excellency."
As the head of the Sheguan family and the Empress Dowager's biological father,
Fujiwara no Tadashi rebuked, "If you yourself weren't so brutal,"
"The Emperor Emeritus will definitely appoint you as the commander-in-chief."
"Choose Taira no Tadamori to command the troops,"
"It is the Emperor Emeritus who is compromising with the northern samurai,"
"Do you think the Emperor Emeritus did it willingly?"
Yuan was hesitant and dared not speak.
I was seething with anger.
He just couldn't understand it.
What's so special about grabbing some food during a march?
That's perfectly normal.
And this father-in-law
He can't even manage household chores.
What right do you have to lecture yourself?
He favored his second son and disliked his eldest son.
This eldest son is also the regent's chief advisor.
This incident has become a laughing stock throughout Japan.
.....
Several teams, from Iwami Kunijo,
Heading towards the surrounding mountains.
The team heading south had the largest number of members.
After advancing two or three miles, it split into three again.
Xia Yuqing led thirty soldiers from Shamen Island.
A translator from Zhejiang,
Two prospectors,
Several local warriors,
There were also dozens of local residents.
We headed straight south, crossing the mountain along a small path.
Exploring for silver mines was just a side effect.
Their main task
The priority is to quickly ascertain the surrounding terrain.
To prepare for the upcoming major battle.
Xia Yuqing personally climbed to a high place to enjoy the view.
They also communicated with the local samurai through a translator.
I quickly sketched a simple topographical map of the surrounding area.
The rest of the people cut down vegetation everywhere.
Low-lying plants and rock textures are visible.
This was intended for prospectors to find clues.
They walked very slowly.
They had only traveled seven or eight li.
The translator said to Xia Yuqing, "This warrior said that the forest here is dense."
"They call it Mount Omori."
"There aren't many people living in the mountains,"
"Wild animals frequently appear,"
"I hope the general will be careful."
Xia Yuqing asked, "Are there tigers?"
The samurai shook his head: "There are no tigers, but there are vicious bears and monsters."
"monster?"
Xia Yuqing chuckled upon hearing this.
The samurai began to get excited.
It tells various stories about monsters.
Anyone who has played video games knows that...
Heian period, huh?
Japan has a lot of yokai (supernatural beings).
The legendary nine-tailed fox Tamamo-no-Mae,
She is now one of the consorts of Emperor Toba.
Emperor Sutoku, who is not yet of age,
It is—the Great Tengu!
If Zhao Yuan came to Japan,
I definitely need to visit Abe no Seimei's grave.
This Onmyoji has only been dead for a hundred years.
His disciples and descendants prospered and flourished.
They were the ones who spread many monster stories.
