"It's for the future of the shogunate! Because I have discovered a very dangerous situation. There is no room for progress for the shogunate in the entire prefecture. For example, during the Kaji years, the Toichi Kui and the Rokkaku high-ranking people during the civilized years were unable to attack the shogunate. However, it is even different now.
In the past, the shogunate was unable to punish disobedient people. This was the biggest problem for our shogunate.
Although the crisis of the shogunate has been temporarily resolved, the foundation of the Miyoshi family has not been lost, and it will surely come back in the future. How long can our shogunate resist it with the power of our shogunate? In the past, there were Hosokawa and Ouchi's fierce battle in Kinai, which greatly weakened the power of our shogunate. Today, we have
The battle between Miyoshi and Rokkaku for hegemony in Kyoto has repeatedly disturbed people's hearts. In the past, there were Hosokawa and Ouchi, but today there are Miyoshi and Rokkaku. Maybe there will be some careerists in the future. If the shogunate is not strong, such careerists will emerge in endlessly. Such resistance will continue day after day.
Year after year, when will we be able to survive? I can't sleep at night thinking about it!"
Kira Yoshitoki's face has been tempered for a long time. Not to mention such a trivial matter as the light black Rokkaku family, it is not a big problem even if he lies in front of the general, but he is still a little uneasy talking nonsense in front of the general. Fortunately, the shogunate also
Didn't notice this detail.
Ashikaga Yoshiki frowned and thought about the meaning of these words. When he thought about it carefully, he had never seriously thought about this kind of problem. Every day, he was either planning to defeat Miyoshi or planning to restore the foundation of his ancestors. How could he have the time to think about such complicated things, but in detail
There was something ominous in Guanji Liangyishi's words. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should I mean by Yishi?"
"Before this, I have been worrying myself to death for several years and still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until recently when I encountered Nagao Danzhoden that I finally realized it! The reason is that our shogunate itself is not strong, and the guardian of the distant country does not provide support, so now
Hard work can only ensure that the shogunate is isolated in a corner of Yamashiro Kingdom and temporarily safe. But will the Miyoshi family let my shogunate go? Sooner or later, they will come back. By then, there will be no support inside and no strong support from outside. They will still have to rely on me.
The shogunate has little foundation to resist, and a tragic victory will be costly but not worth the loss. Once it fails, everything will be lost and all the foundation will be lost!
May I ask if the shogunate can withstand the blow of a complete defeat? I dare not say that I can still win undefeated against Miyoshi. The samurai who get carried away with one or two victories by luck will only face destruction, so I thought of going down to Echigo for help.
The shogunate established support in the distant country, but it was not enough to simply go down to Echigo. Without the support of force, the ministers were just empty shells. But bringing a large army to Echigo would be taboo for the people of the country, so I thought of going to the main hall with Nagao.
Sister marriage..."
"What are you talking about!" Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly jumped up and threw the folding fan in his hand, almost hitting Kira Yoshiki in the face. The anger in his heart turned into a voice that suddenly became louder. He wanted to kick this person who had angered him.
asshole.
"Do you know what you are talking about? You are betraying the shogunate! You are betraying Yu! If you fall in love with the women of the Nagao family, you will abandon the righteousness of serving the shogunate. You are a traitor who is unjust for profit! How in the world can I feel sorry for you?
That makes you think about abandoning the shogunate? Please explain it clearly to me!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki's anger was not what he expected. He could only remain motionless to receive the angry roar of Qian Qingfang. His cheek was sore from the flying folding fan. Fortunately, he had involuntarily leaned back just now.
.Only dodged a fatal blow to the eye.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew better than anyone else the source of the shogunate's resurgence. It was not the flattery of the shogunate or the beautifully written pleadings. It was the military support provided by the Kira family and the bloody battles of nine thousand elites.
In a desperate fight, the shogunate army and Hosokawa Harumoto's troops were vulnerable to the Miyoshi family. Only the 9,000-strong army of Kira Yoshitoshi could win three consecutive battles to kill Yingye.
Even if the shogunate was naturally afraid of powerful officials and wanted to suppress Kira Yoshi, he would not dare to just let him go, because the Kira family had become the talisman of the shogunate, and he could easily throw it away before the shogunate's own strength was strengthened.
Amulet?
So how could Ashikaga Yoshiteru allow this powerful minister of the shogunate to leave him? No matter what the reason is! He must stay in Kinai and be an amulet for the shogunate honestly and peacefully. If it weren't for the fact that the daughter of the Ashikaga family is too young
, Ashikaga Yoshiki will force him to be his brother-in-law now, this is beyond doubt!
"Why can't you tell me? Can't Omi Shiga and Takashima two counties satisfy your appetite? How about the guardian of the mountain city? Do you want to be the commander? What about the deputy general? Is it possible that you still want to replace me as the general of the conquest of barbarians?
"The anger was building up in Ashikaga Yoshiki's chest. The general, who was obviously dizzy, kicked the overturner and knocked the bottles and cans all over the floor.
In anger, he picked up the vase on the side and threw it at Kira Yoshitoki. He heard a "bang" sound and Kira Yoshito fell straight to the ground. The broken vase hit his head and flew out. Fortunately, he was not hit.
His head was bruised and bleeding, but the big bump on his head still frightened the man waiting outside the hall.
Seeing Kira Yoshiki still struggling to sit up after being smashed like that, Ashikaga Yoshiteru suddenly began to regret his recklessness and madness. This smash must have destroyed most of the relationship between monarch and minister. The two people who had no kindness and righteousness were still
How to establish an intimate relationship? Looking at Kiragi's stubborn eyes again, he already knew that he was powerless to stop it.
Kira Yoshi's face was twisted, and the sharp pain on his forehead was not as fast as the twitching in his heart. He never thought that he would be hit by these two throws, a folding fan hit his face, and a vase hit his head. What on earth did he do wrong?
Let Ashikaga Yoshiki treat him like this? At this moment, there was nothing but coldness in his heart.
"It's fine! I can leave without any apology!" Kira Yoshihide restrained himself and held onto the burning wound, and said in a firmer tone: "I have no intention of betraying the shogunate.
I am the shogunate, and the loyalty of His Highness can be seen from the sun and the moon. However, the shogunate is too weak and needs strong help!
The only thing I, Kira Yoshi, could do for the shogunate was those thousands of elite divisions fighting to the death, but today, there is only so much I can do. More than half of the nine thousand elites have been destroyed. Whether we can defeat Sanzhu next time is still a question. Once that happens,
When I am defeated, the revival of the shogunate will be cut off. Not only will His Royal Highness be forced to leave Kyoto for refuge, but I will also lose the possibility of recovery. Therefore, I will seek support from other forces while I still have strength left.
Nagao Tanshoden is loyal to the shogunate. As long as I, Kira Yoshitsune, can help me, we can defeat Kohi Takeda in five or seven years. We can defeat Echu in another five or seven years. Koga has always been loyal, and together with the Asakura family, they went to Luo to raid Miyoshi.
To establish an enduring foundation for the shogunate."
"So you want to leave? But what will the shogunate do if you leave? Without your protection, how can I resist the iron hoof of Sanzhu?" Ashikaga Yoshiki stared at him coldly, listening to him describe a beautiful picture, but
But there was no trace of excitement on his face.
Since the friendship was gone, Ashikaga Yoshiki did not intend to do more to comfort him. He said sarcastically like a broken pot: "What about the shogunate? You have five or seven years on the left, and five or seven years on the right. What about the shogunate?
Can you survive so many years? Are you going to let Sanzhu force Yu to return to Sakamoto and become a royal general? Let me tell you! I will never go back to Kyoto this time! Even if I die, I will not go back!"
He felt that the wound on his forehead was not as painful as before. He took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Please rest assured, His Highness, I will never leave the shogunate. According to what I know, Hatakeyama and Rokkaku have secretly formed an alliance. They
The main content of this covenant is that Miyoshi retreats and is divided into Kinei, Hatakeyama and Rokkaku are each other's exterior and interior, and the legacy of Guanling and Guanlingdai will continue to be passed down!
Of course, this covenant is based on deception. The strength of the Hosokawa family is not as good as before, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. There are many people in Kinai who accept the kindness of the Hosokawa family. Now the Hosokawa Harumoto and his wife are claustrophobic.
Pumonji Temple. Rokkaku Yoshiken must defeat Miyoshi no matter what. Firstly, it is to save his sister and brother-in-law. Secondly, it is also to expand the territory and revive the family. As for who the Takaya-don of the Hatakeyama family is, he must be His Highness Kakata
I also know something about it.”
Regarding the plan he proposed, Ashikaga Yoshiteru could only respond with silence. Half a month earlier, the shogunate did receive an affidavit from Hatakeyama Takamasa. The content was nothing more than expressing that the Hatakeyama family had been loyal to the shogunate for generations. He, Hatakeyama
Takamasa will clean up the three buildings of the shogunate, and also asks Ashikaga Yoshiki to continue to fulfill his previous agreement, and as long as Miyoshi Nagakei is cleared, he will be made the leader.
Before this, he didn't pay much attention to this affidavit. Can you trust what a guy with an abnormal mind says? The shogunate was embarrassed by the big mistake last time. He, the dignified shogunate, still had to play with a bastard.
, this is simply a great shame.
But hearing what Kira Yoshitoki said, he realized that the Hatakeyama family had most likely colluded with the Rokkaku family. The maximum number of armed forces that the two families could mobilize exceeded 50,000, and the supporting national lords could be found in half of Kinki.
, this is enough to compete with the Miyoshi family, but the shogunate does not have an amulet, so how can it maintain a detached and neutral position in the fight between the two powers? It is completely different to make an amulet when Kiragi has it, so he still cannot be allowed to leave.
When Kira Yoshiki carefully observed Ashikaga Yoshiki's repeatedly changing expressions, he knew that he was considering the pros and cons of leaving or not, so he decided to give this strong-willed prince a step forward: "Not all of you will leave when I go to Echigo this time."
, After all, the land of the two counties still needs to be protected, so I will leave six thousand troops to assist the two counties as a garrison. This army also obeys the orders of the shogunate. If there is trouble in Kyoto, they will take the initiative to take on the important task of guarding the capital."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru had nothing to say at this time. Kira Yoshitoki had already taken care of all the details. He didn't have to pay for the six thousand elite soldiers, and they were still led by the Kira family's retainers. There was nothing better than this. Now he
I regretted and blamed myself even more. If I had known earlier, I would not have been so impulsive and would not have hurt the friendship between the monarch and his ministers.
If you can't be tough, you can only use soft. If you want to recover the lost love, you have to bind it with love. Ashikaga Yoshiki said shamelessly: "It's still a bit of a loss for you to marry the daughter of the Nagao family! How about that?
How about letting the daughter of the Nagao family be the concubine and marrying her sister-in-law?"
"Inappropriate! If it weren't for this marriage relationship, Nagao Danshodon would not have allowed his subordinates to lead the army to Echigo, because Nagao Danshoden has sworn not to marry in this life, and his sister is the only person closest to him in this world.
, for this reason, Nagao Danshoden did not hesitate to train her as the heir to the family governor. Only the daughter of the Nagao family can gain the complete trust of Nagao Danshoden." Kira Yoshitoki disapproved of his proposal. How could he marry a daughter of the Nagao family if he did not marry her?
Your sister who is only five years old?
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had nothing to say. Kira Yoshiki had sacrificed himself for the great cause of the Ashikaga family. Instead of marrying the rich and powerful family member, he would marry a country girl as his wife. He thought to himself: "When my son becomes a general in the future,
No matter what, I have to marry his daughter as my wife, so this can be considered as compensation for him!"
In the end, Ashikaga Yoshiki finally reluctantly agreed to his proposal. Of course, Ashikaga Yoshiki suggested that it would be best to send some loyal and reliable samurai to command the three thousand troops. Kira Yoshiki said that he would hand over this military force to China.
Tokihide Jojo stayed as the commander. Ashikaga Yoshiteru finally let him go with satisfaction.
So Kira Yoshitoki returned to Sakamoto with the general's order. He first called Yamamoto Tokiyuki to tell him about the matter. Yamamoto Tokiyuki stared at him with a clear look, and suddenly grinned and said: "Have you finally figured it out, Master?
?”
"What's the meaning?"
"Master, do you still remember the oath you made in Mitsubahachimangu Palace?"
"When I leave my homeland, I will definitely bring glory to the Kira clan and put an end to the troubled times of the Warring States Period!" Kira Yoshito remembered it just for a moment.
"The master of the hall has completed the first part of the oath."
"Um!"
Yamamoto Tokiyuki looked at him with one eye and suddenly said: "It's time to fight for the second vow!"
"The second vow?" Kira Yoshishi said seriously: "I will work hard!"
After the matter of declaring the order to Echigo was concluded, Kira Yoshito immediately convened an executive meeting to make arrangements for the sharing of government affairs between the two counties. The order to be sent to Echigo was immediately announced at the evaluation meeting in early December, which naturally caused an uproar. Many samurai expressed
I can't understand that the Kira family is living a good life in Kinai. Everyone thinks that they have found a good supporter and are looking forward to a good life. Now they have to leave.
Immediately, a dozen warriors stood up and said sincerely: "Master, please think again!"
"Master, please think twice!"
"This is my family's decision, you don't need to say anything else!" Kira Yoshitoki simply left the job of explanation and comfort to Yamamoto Tokiyuki. He wanted to cultivate a sense of obedience among the retainers. The family governor's decision does not need to be approved by everyone. No.
Understanding must also be implemented, and the trend of consensus among the people cannot arise in the Kira family. A certain degree of dictatorship is still necessary.
As expected, when this news is like dropping a bomb, what does Kiragi's move mean to the shogunate and the Kinki general? When everyone digested the shocking news in amazement, some of them began to panic.
What else could Kira Yoshinori do if he stayed in Omi? Continue to be a refuge for the shogun or be oppressed and unable to hold his head high? This is a question worth pondering.
The news that the Kira family was about to go to Echigo was not kept secret. Within a few days, it spread through the Kinai in the form of gossip. Of course, many people did not believe this rumor. However, as Nagao Kagetora and a tour group settled in Sakamoto Castle
, all this seems to be developing in an abnormal direction.
Some daimyo and Chinese people began to appear frequently in Kyoto, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit the general to inquire about information. Some people tentatively asked questions about the rumors, but the shogunate without exception chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Later, they heard that Kira Yoshihiro secretly discussed
Afterwards, the incident also aggravated the suspicion of many people.
In the Kannonji Castle Castle Tower, Rokkaku Yoshiken was listening to Mochizuki Yoshito's intelligence report. When he heard that the Kira family was preparing to go down to Echigo, he immediately said overjoyed: "This is really good news. As soon as Kira Yoshitomo left
, then the two counties can be taken back naturally!"
"I think it may be very difficult!" Yoshitomi Mochizuki reminded: "The Kira family has eight thousand troops left behind. Among them, the four main reserves are intact, and the Kira navy's strong support force is still the best in Omi! The most important thing is
The most important thing is the support of the imperial court and the shogunate. My lord, please don’t forget the close relationship between Wu Wei Gong and today’s General Guan Bai.”
"Damn it! So those two counties are still not coming back?" Rokkaku Yixian said angrily: "Is there no other way?"
It was as if he was asking Mochizuki Gildong, or talking to himself. Mochizuki Gildong did not answer his question. After a while, he reported again: "Hanoi's Gaowudian sent a letter asking..."
…
In Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Miyoshi Nagakei and Miyoshi Yoshiken are playing Go. As first-class cultural people, the two have very high cultural literacy. Even if they learn that Kira Yoshi is about to leave Kinki at this moment, there is no doubt that until the game of chess is over,
Miyoshi Yoshikencai smiled and said: "Brother's chess skills are still so good."
"Is Zhiyasu distracted? You have to be focused on playing chess, and you were distracted just now." Miyoshi Changqing shook his head and said, "Is it because of what happened with Kira Yoshitomo?"
"Yes! Once the enemy is gone, the life of my Miyoshi family will be much easier." Miyoshi Yixian said with a smile: "Should we celebrate?"
"I think the matter is not that simple. You and I both know the temperament of today's public. How could he give up his mainstay and go to Echigo at this time?" Miyoshi Nagakei thought: "There must be some reason that we don't know.
"
"Could it be the Rokkaku family? The Rokkaku family member has made nothing this year, so it wouldn't be surprising if he joins the public." Miyoshi Yixian reminded again: "It must be because of his good brother-in-law."
"His Royal Highness, you are wise! If you throw out a poisonous bait that our family will have to eat, Hosokawa Harumoto will be claustrophobic no matter what. But from now on, there will be a conflict with the Rokkaku family." Miyoshi Nagakei sneered, narrowing his eyes: "
Do you really think that the Rokkaku family can do this? Once Kira Yoshitoki is gone, who else in Kinai will be my opponent? After my family has cultivated for three or two years and dealt with the group of traitors in Tanba, I will do the same with you again!"
"Haha... Kyoto will still be ours until then. If the father-in-law obeys my Miyoshi family's wishes, everything will be fine. If not, I don't mind letting him continue to seek refuge in Sakamoto." The two brothers looked at each other and showed bright smiles at the same time.
Rumors that the Kira family is about to leave are spreading more and more widely. Especially when everyone in the Kira family is busy dividing military service, it is basically confirmed that this matter is inseparable, and whoever stays in the two counties will have to take care of them.
Leaving became a new topic. Although the Mikawa samurai were reluctant to leave Omi's customs, they still chose to firmly support Kira Yoshitoki's decision. The attitude of the Omi people became very interesting. Most of the people in Takashima County were unwilling to leave, including Gao
Without exception, Shima Nanato expressed his willingness to defend the territory for the Kira family.
Most of the people in Shiga County are unwilling to leave, and only a small number are willing to continue to follow the Kira family, because the samurai who stay behind can still maintain their original treatment. In this way, no one is willing to follow them to the bitter cold of Echigo.
To develop, of course some people are unwilling to leave, but naturally there are also those who are willing to follow. For example, Miyabe Tsugujun is very optimistic about the Kira family and has made it clear that he is willing to follow.
The final statistics came out quickly. Only more than 300 Omi's samurai were willing to follow. This made Kiragi Toki relieved. If there were fewer samurai, he could draw more ashigaru to make up for it. After all, Omi's reserve team was also real gold.
Those trained by Bai Yin will be at a loss if they don’t take away the elite among them. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
