Saito Michi Sanhide's son-in-law was Oda Nobunaga, and Saito Michi Mitsuhide sent a monk, Namba Uchiji, to find Bee Suga Koroku and ask Koroku to help Saito attack Saito's son Yoshiryu. Father and son attacking each other is a matter of no heaven, bee Suga Koroku can not know the nature of what Saito wants to do, and Koroku will not easily do things that damage his own image, so why does Beesuga Koroku insist on helping Saito Michi San hideryū?
What is the origin of the relationship between Saito Michishiro and Bee Suga Koroku?
First of all, the Wasuka family was a local tycoon, but it was not annexed and destroyed by the powerful forces of Oda Nobuhide, Mikawa Matsudaira, and Surufu Imakawa, but independent of these forces, basically able to stabilize themselves in Japan, because Saito Michi Mitsuhisa often helped Koroku and gave Himroku the necessary military assistance, so That Koroku could have a place. So when Saito Michishiro needed help, how could Koroku Bee-suga refuse? After all, the Saito family had helped the Bee Suga family many times, so even if the Saito family made excessive demands, The Saito family was not embarrassed to refuse.
Saito Michizo
In addition, Saito Michi Michiryu and Bee Suga Koroku once reached an agreement that whether Saito or Bee Suga was in trouble, as long as anyone is in trouble, the other party must help. So it became a customary habit for Saito and Bee-Suga to help each other. Not only military help, but also economic help, and the Saito family is slightly richer than the Bee Suga family, so the Saito family will give Bee Suga two hundred dollars every year, and this financial help makes Bee Suga Xiaoroku owe one more person, so it is indispensable to help Saito attack the Yoshiryu.
Seeing this, Saito Michi Sanhide did help Bee Suga Koroku a lot, so why did Saito take the initiative to help Bee Suga? There are no unknown enemies in the world, and there are no unknown benefactors.
Beesuka Koroku
Before Wassuga Koroku became the leader, the Tibetan Masatoshi was the leader. One night, a samurai fell ill in front of the Beesuka family, and the Tibetan Masatoshi felt that the samurai was very pitiful and invited the samurai to his home to rest and heal. Soon the sick samurai recovered. After all, the samurai had to leave The Masatoshi family to break into the world, so The samurai gave the samurai some travel expenses. Zhengli not only took in the samurai to treat him, but also gave him travel expenses, which made the samurai's heart very grateful. So when the samurai left Zhengli, he said from the bottom of his heart, "If I have the ambition in the future, I will repay him with a spring!" ”
This samurai later became successful and had his own sphere of influence, and this person was Saito Michishiro. The promise made that year must be fulfilled, and the position of Masayoshi has been taken over by Ise-suga Koroku, so Saito Michi Sanhide ryu will give all the returns promised that year to Bee-Suga Koroku.
Inaba Castle
Therefore, the alliance between Bee Suga Koroku and Saito Michi Sanhide was established very early, and Saito and Bee Suga both paid attention to righteousness, so the situation in which the two of them helped each other was out of control. This time, Saito asked Bee Suga to send troops to help burn his son Yoshiryu, and of course Bee Suga could not refuse.
But righteousness can sometimes be counterproductive to friendship, and a friend's ill-gotten behavior should not be casually supported and helped, otherwise it may damage his reputation. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (then known as Hiyoshi), who was Koroku's subordinate, felt that Saito and Bee Suga's alliance military plan, whether victorious or lost, would not become the new lord of Inaba Castle, because the two of them had morally lost the trust of the common people.
