Minamoto no Yoritomo, a pillar of the seventh generation and the first general who conquered the barbarians, had a dark mind. In order to protect the direct line of the Minamoto clan in Hanoi from being usurped, he personally destroyed his entire family, whether it was the honest and obedient Minamoto no Yori, or the Minamoto no Yoshitsune who repeatedly disobeyed orders. Ended up dead and exterminated.
The Yasuda clan and the Hiraga clan who were promoted by the Kamakura shogunate were all branches of the Takeda family. The Hiraga clan even usurped the family lineage of the Kawachi Genji family. After the Hojo family came to power, they were all defeated. If the Ashikaga family had not climbed up to the big tree of the Hojo family early, they would have ended up being exterminated.
The Ashikaga clan successively experienced the Kajiwara Kage Toki period, Hiki Nōkan clan, Hatakeyama Shigetada Rebellion, Wada Consolidation, Jokyu Rebellion, and Hoji Consolidation in the Kamakura Period, and gradually rose to prominence with their merits. After the Hiraga clan was abolished , the cautious Ashikaga family won the position of the head of the Kawachi Genji family, as evidenced by the establishment of Mitsuba Hachimangu Shrine during the Jokyu period and the enshrined Hashigiri and white flags.
The Ashikaga family governors were extremely tolerant, and the only time they were impulsive was the Shigezuki riot. The young and energetic Ashikaga family couldn't bear the anger of being bullied no matter what. When Adachi Taimori was being persecuted, he stood up resolutely and fought against Gouchi. People fought against each other, and this war almost caused the fall of the Ashikaga family.
As luck would have it, the Ashikaga clan became famous through this war. Not only were they followers of the Hojo family, it was also this battle that woke up all the Kamakura imperial family members and made those samurai who still had illusions wake up and realize that the Hojo family The family's brutal persecution of the imperial family system laid the foundation for the fall of Kamakura.
When Kamakura was destroyed, new problems arose. The Ashikaga clan and the Nitta clan competed for the direct descendants of the Genji clan in Kawachi, because they were both direct descendants of the Minamoto no Yoshikuni. The ancestor of the two families, the Minamoto no Yoshikuni, married a total of two wives. His ex-wife was Fujiwara Atsuki. The daughter of Fujiwara Atsuki was a tributary of the Fujiwara clan. She was the fourth highest official in the family, Uenosuke. She was a cultural figure in the late Heian period. She wrote very good poems. Naturally, his daughter’s status was not that bad.
Thus, the eldest son of Minamoto Yoshikuni, Taro Yoshige, was born. This king was the founder of the Nitta clan. He was born in 1114. However, the good times did not last long. Minamoto Yoshikuni's ex-wife soon died of illness. As Minamoto Yoshikuni and Minamoto Weiyoshi completely After a falling out, Minamoto Yoshikuni returned to live in his own fiefdom, Ashikaga-so. Because he had a rough relationship with his eldest son Yoshigeage all year round, the relationship between father and son was not harmonious.
Minamoto Yoshikuni, who was in his prime, did not want to be a widower for the rest of his life, so he found another well-known family in Kyoto and married a stepmother. This stepmother had a higher background and was the daughter of Minamoto Aifang. Also known as Lieutenant General Zhou Fang, he was a minister born in the Murakami Genji family. He later became the adopted son of the left minister Minamoto Arihito. He was promoted to the fourth rank, Lieutenant General Sakonoe, and was also a famous cultural figure. He was especially good at Japanese songs, and several Japanese songs were also recorded. Compiled into the collection of Japanese songs.
After Minamoto Aifusa's daughter married into the Minamoto family, she gave birth to a new generation of legitimate son Yoshiyasu in 1127. Yoshiyasu looked exactly like him, and was more well-behaved and cute. He was loved by Minamoto Yoshikuni, while the eldest son Yoshigege was always a maverick. As a child who is estranged from Minamoto Yoshikuni, the issue of the legitimate son born to the two main wives arises.
Because there was a deep conflict between Minamoto Yoshikuni and Minamoto Weiyi, Minamoto Yoshikuni chose to support his younger brother Minamoto Yoshitada's surviving son Kawauchi Keigoku. In order to help him develop, he spared no effort, sending money, food and land. In the end Only the territory of dozens of villages near Noashikazhuo was left. The two boys gradually grew up. What should be done with the territory?
Because the eldest son Yoshigege was still in his twenties, and the second son Yoshiyasu in his teens was smarter and more well-behaved, Minamoto Yoshikuni came up with the idea of abolishing the legitimate son. In the Genpei era, there was no distinction between legitimate sons and daughters, as long as they were sons
I can inherit the family property, but Minamoto Yoshikuni feels that the eldest son may think that he is the legitimate son. No matter how disobedient you are, you have to share the family property with me. This makes Minamoto Yoshikuni very unhappy, and he has been thinking about how to drive the eldest son out.
Later, there was a fierce conflict between the eldest son Yoshigege and the second son Yoshiyasu. The samurai who supported both sides fought against each other and almost caused a disaster. Minamoto Yoshikuni decided to exile the eldest son Yoshigege in anger and completely removed him from Shimono Ashikaga-so.
He wanted to get out, so Nitta Yoshishige packed up and ran out of Shimono country, hid in a wasteland in Ueno, reclaimed new fields, and lived a life. Later, he built a new farm and became the founder of the Nitta clan.
Ashikaga Yoshiyasu stayed with his father, Minamoto no Yoshikuni, inherited the territory of Shimono Ashikaga-so, and changed his name to the Ashikaga clan. When Minamoto no Yoshio launched his army, many samurai from Kanto joined the army. Because of the special status of the Ashikaga family,
Therefore, he was attracted by Minamoto Yoshinaka and Minamoto Yoritomo at the same time.
After internal discussion within the Ashikaga clan, they felt that they were still optimistic about Minamoto Yoshio. As a result, the eldest son, Ashikaga Yoshikiyo, acted as a martyr and took refuge with Minamoto Yoshinaka, and subsequently died on the battlefield. His descendants were the Hosokawa clan, one of the later cornerstones of the Ashikaga clan, and his legitimate son Yoshio
Kane then defected to Minamoto Yoritomo and gained great respect from Minamoto Yoritomo.
The old and dim-witted Nitta Yoshige has not gone anywhere. He has always been so careless in temperament that he does not know how to maintain interpersonal relationships. He does not want to hang out with Yoritomo at all. He just sends his bastard and grandson to Minamoto Yoshio's place as a token
After joining the army, who would have expected that the powerful Satomi clan and Yamana clan would develop.
Nitta Yoshishige, on the other hand, was busy fighting against Kiso Yoshinaka's faction in Shinano, and had no time to control Minamoto Yoshio. When Minamoto Yoshio's reputation gradually grew, he woke up and hurriedly ran to add icing on the cake. Minamoto Yoshio had no regard for this.
The old guy who relied on his elders and betrayed his elders was disgusted and simply ignored the Nitta family.
Ashikaga Yoshikane relied on the opportunity to join the army and experience meritorious service at the earliest, so that his descendants could marry into the Hojo clan and stabilize their status. Later, after the death of Minamoto Yorishio, Hojo Masako reactivated the Nitta clan, and Nitta Yoshinaga was born as a senior.
Appointed as an elder of Genji for the reason of not being bad.
The two major tributaries of the Minamoto Yoshimitsu line, the Hitachi Gen clan's Satake family went against the general trend of the world and raised troops to fight against Minamoto Yoritomo. Minamoto Yoritomo was helpless in the battle at the Golden Sand Mountain Cage Castle. In the end, they were defeated by internal maneuvers. The Satake family was enraged by Minamoto.
Yoritomo kicked out Mikadoha and only got the title of a rich man named Satakekan.
Takeda Nobuyoshi of the Kai Gen clan once tried to compete with Minamoto Yoshinaka and Minamoto Yoshio for the pillars of the samurai family. In the end, Minamoto Yoshio gave him a cold shoulder and died of depression. The other clans were either hunted by Kawachi Keikuni and cut off one after another, or were pulled in by Minamoto Yoritomo.
Use it casually as a close official.
The Ashikaga clan hates the Saburo clan of Silla. The Ashikaga clan's closest opportunity to be the pillar of the Genji family was destroyed by Minamoto Yoshimitsu, or the hatred within the Minamoto clan. This is a cause and effect relationship. Minamoto Yoshimitsu betrayed his trust and caused his brother to kill his nephew.
Forced to force another nephew, Minamoto no Yoshikuni, to lose his position as the pillar of the Minamoto clan, the Ashikaga clan could only rely on Hojo Masako and his family to barely keep their identity, and they almost died in the Frost Moon turmoil.
This offending was so severe that the hatred continued until the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate. Takeda and Satake were treated with indifference. Akamatsu, Yamana, Sasaki, and Toki were successively promoted.
Even though Takeda Nobutake was re-employed for a while, the descendants of the descendants were suppressed one after another, and An Yun Takeda was suppressed from guardian to sub-prefecture guardian. Takeda Nobuei of Wakasa Takeda relied on his male sex to become the favorite of Ashikaga Yoshitsune before he was able to conquer the Isshiki clan and seize the guardian of Wakasa.
opportunity. The entire Takeda family was torn apart by the shogunate.
Kira Yoshihiro shouted: "Takeda Harunobu! Look clearly at the big flag of my Ashikaga family. It's white with black characters and Ashikaga two lines. Look at your Takeda family again. The red flag is gold with four rhombuses. You're wearing red armor and playing red.
Flag, are you going to rebel? Are you the Genji or the Taira? Don’t you know that raising a red flag is a taboo for me, the Genji? And you are not against your will!"
"You..." Takeda Harunobu was so angry that he suddenly felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes. He could no longer hold the reins and fell down. Several warriors with quick eyesight and quick hands hurriedly lifted the unconscious Takeda Harunobu and put him down. If there hadn't been someone,
Protection. Takeda Harunobu will definitely fall down, and the Takeda family will be finished if it falls three times long and two short.
Takeda Harunobu fainted and was seen by many samurai. For a moment, the morale of the Takeda army was turbulent. Kira Yoshitoki in the distance also observed the movements of the Takeda army's main formation. He immediately waved his military equipment and shouted: "Now, the whole army will attack and defeat Takeda."
military!"
The sound of the military taiko drum changed from an earthquake to a high-pitched sound, and the conch symbolizing the attack was blown. Teams of Ashigaru samurai slowly accelerated in neat steps. The commotion of the Takeda army also calmed down with the sound of the horn. It must be said that Takeda
The family's military command was extremely outstanding. Even when the family governor fainted, he was still able to stabilize the situation and launch attacks from both wings one after another.
The formation this time is dominated by the Fish Scale Formation, with a thousand Shinano people on each side on the left and right wings. In front of the main formation is the main force of the Longtail Army. At this time, the number of the main force of the Kira Army and the Takeda Army are not much different.
The level of elites was also very different. The ashigaru formations of both sides collided fiercely, and there was no fancy fight at all.
The location of Shinoi is very interesting. It is located in the alluvial plain at the foot of Chausu Mountain. Next to it is the winding Chikuma River. Going up one mile along the Chikuma River, the east and west banks are Shiozaki Castle and Yashiro Castle respectively. At this time, the Kira Army's main formation
However, there were a thousand men missing who had not been discovered by the Takeda army. They were the 500 heavy Fuji bows commanded by Naito Masashige and the 500 iron artillery troops led by Takikawa Masushige.
Originally, the terrain of Hachimanhara was not the best battlefield for cavalry battles, because Hachimanhara is located in the core area of Kawanaka Island. It has always been rich in water and grass and the land is soft. Under the lush green grass, you cannot tell whether it is a water hole or a pit. The cavalry marched
Extra care must be taken, especially the cavalry of the Kira Army, to prevent mistakes. However, a drought this year has changed the situation. The dry grass and cracked land have brought changes to the battlefield environment.
To Kira Yoshitoki's expectation, the Takeda army was also equipped with dozens of iron cannons. The familiar roar and smoke brought great pressure to the Shinano people on both sides. The Ashigaru people could only lower their heads.
Speed up the pace. Neither Tomaru nor Jinkasa can make you safer at this time.
Soon the mounted samurai of the Takeda Army rushed into both wings and massacred wantonly. The people of Shinano Province could only shout for support while sending out their own mounted samurai. The bows and arrows of the Takeda Army were pressed behind and they were calmly throwing arrows. The situation suddenly changed.
The Takeda Army suppressed the Kira Army's fighting rhythm.
"Suda Nobunosuke's team was repulsed!"
"The Hata City Guards were defeated! The Hata City Guards were captured!"
Although the Takeda Army held back the center and attacked the left and right strategies, the Nagatail Army fell into the embarrassment of whether to support or not. Whether to support or not to support is a difficult problem. If not to support the two wings, they will be defeated quickly, and then the situation will change.
It turned into a semi-siege situation.
But support is not a good option. As long as the Long Tail Army makes any changes, the Takeda Army will definitely withdraw its fists from both wings and focus on attacking the center. A time difference can cause huge changes in the battlefield situation.
Fortunately, the Echigo samurai such as Honjo Minoru, Akasha Kagemochi, Irobe Katsunaga, Kachi Harutsuna and Saito Asanobu on the right wing, Nakajo Fujisa, Yasuda Keimoto, Arakawa Nagami and other Echigo samurai who are close to the left wing are very tenacious.
With the Takeda Army's attack firmly against it, the attack on both wings could not be effective immediately, and the scene presented a stepped tug-of-war.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki reminded: "Takeda's strategy should be to use the two wings as the main force to attack our Shinano coalition forces, hoping to achieve the effect of forcing the long-tailed army in the center to distract from the rescue, and pulling the two wings to cause the entire fish scale formation to tear.
Fortunately, there seems to be a problem with the main formation of the Takeda Army and it is temporarily unable to command it. Otherwise, this strategy will be very difficult to deal with!"
"Yes. We must let our formation speed up the attack rhythm and gain a favorable situation before the Takeda County main formation reacts."
Kira Yoshihide said nothing else. He could clearly see this level of tactics. When confronting the enemy, he not only worked hard to plan the military strategy, but also worked hard to grasp the timing. Even if the Takeda family planned well, they still couldn't do it without effective on-the-spot command.
Use your greatest strength.
It is also a military service system that combines farmers and soldiers. The Takeda Army on the opposite side obviously has advantages that the Miyoshi Army did not have. A large number of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles have extremely high tactical literacy, even when the master's situation is unknown.
It can also make unexpected changes, which he doesn't want to see.
The Shinano people on both wings were heavily attacked, and the Nagatail Army's offensive was delayed indefinitely. The envoy who asked for help circled the formation several times and received the reply that he should hold on and wait for the opportunity. This bloody battle turned into an endless battle.
In the tug-of-war, the tight lines began to become uneven. The commanders of both sides tried their best to jump to their own positions and support the damaged ones. They all knew that this was a war that could not be retreated. The side that retreated first would cause a terrible disaster.
.
Kirakata's overall performance was mediocre, and he performed best only when he was in the Kira Army's main formation. The Baba Nobuharu team, which was attacking the Kira Army's main formation from the front, was violently attacked by Watanabe Takatsuna, and the javelin team locked in on the Baba team's mounted samurai.
The battlefield was cleared with just one round of throwing. The ghost Mino, who was said to be invincible, was defeated and defeated. Several rounds of javelin throwing defeated the reserve team.
The Saeda Torayoshi team who came up tried to stabilize the battle line, but were ruthlessly repulsed by Watanabe Takatsuna. The Iitomi Masakei team was replaced again, but they still could not stop the assault of Watanabe Takatsuna's team. Watanabe Takatsuna was covered in blood.
Like a god of death, no one was spared wherever he passed with his scythe and spear, and he killed more than twenty named warriors in half an hour.
It wasn't until the three teams of Hara Koyin, Hara Masayin, and Tada Mitsuru launched a pincer attack on Watanabe Takatsuna's team at the same time. Watanabe Takatsuna's team was exhausted and exhausted with the javelin, and then retreated back. Then Suzuki Shigeji and Okouchi Tsunadaka came up.
The team did not use long spears at all, but replaced them with battle axes, raised rattan shields with hammers and staffs, and defeated the three Takeda troops in one counterattack.
At this time, Takeda Harunobu came to his senses, and despite the dissuasion of his attendants, he stood up on a high slope and looked at the battle below. The tug-of-war between the two sides made Takeda frown, and he immediately ordered: "Let the Kira army attack slowly.
Lure them into the formation, tighten the formation on the left and right at the same time, and seal the Kira army."
"Yes!" Several samurai carrying the centipede flag hurriedly got on their horses. The centipede members of the Takeda family still maintained the habit of verbally passing orders, which could effectively ensure that the other side's ninja army would not intercept and intercept any valid information.
Soon there was a new rhythm change in the attack of the Takeda Army. The Takeda Army who attacked the main formation consciously opened their distance back. At the same time, the arrows from the back row rained down as if they were free. The Kira family's gun and shield team could only hold up their shields to block them.
The body and head slowly push forward.
Once this happens, the arrow rain will suddenly stop. The Takeda army continues to attack. When it is broken through, it retreats again, attracting the Kira army to stagger. As they advance and retreat, the Takeda army remains undisturbed, and the Kira army does not fall into his trap.
Just stick to the rhythm of slow advancement and retreat quickly before the Takeda army is ready to implement the two-way and three-way siege tactics.
The regrouped Baba Nobuharu took the lead and rushed to the front. Suddenly he saw a group of red cavalry rushing towards him and his expression changed. He called the infantry to set up a gun formation and retreated back. However, the opponent seemed to have no intention of attacking him and moved to attack on both wings.
The Takeda Army corresponding to the Long Tail Army on both sides.
It turned out that Kira Yoshitoshi ordered the Nagao Army to rescue the people of Shinano Province, allowing Akabi to take the opportunity to attack the enemy forces on both wings to distract them. Seeing that the opportunity was inevitable, the Baba Army, who was about to turn around and make a sneak attack, was dragged away by about two hundred red cavalry.
Oh, what's even more disgusting is that they are proficient in Yabusame archery, leading him to follow along.
At this time, a tall warrior wearing a white cross suddenly appeared. Both the height of the warrior and the height of the horse were beyond his imagination. What was even more exaggerated was that both men and horses were wearing armor, and the black lance was flashing with a deep light.
In the light, I saw him gently knocking the horse's belly and slowly accelerating towards Nobuharu of the racecourse.
"Escape! Escape! Escape!" Nobuharu Baba thought of only this word at that moment. He stopped his horse suddenly and ran away desperately. Even if he retreated shamefully, he could still find a chance to wash it away. At this time, he did not care about the dignity of the samurai.
When you are killed, there will be nothing left.
"Running so fast!" Hans hesitated for a moment before slowing down and retreating. He was not interested in rushing into the infantry formation to massacre, especially those nasty spears that would bring disadvantages to his horses without the response of the red cavalry.
It is very dangerous to go into battle alone.
At the same time, Rupert and five other Swiss mercenaries were still hiding behind to watch the fun. The nature of their employment was to be instructors rather than enemy-killing mercenaries. Moreover, the five of them could not exert the power of Swiss mercenaries. If there were no special circumstances, they would
He won't rush to the front.
The arduous and fierce battle lasted from the morning until the sun rose. The military forces on both sides suffered from the scorching heat and high-intensity fighting. Their combat effectiveness declined to varying degrees. The Kira family's effective rotation tactics gave the rear team a chance to cross the river. The civilian men hiding in the rear
The water was constantly being boiled and the bamboo tubes filled with water were passed around, and some people were eating the roasted potatoes wholeheartedly, adding pickled radish to add salt.
Others were not so happy. The Nagao Army, the Takeda Army, and the Shinano people on both sides could only seize the time to stuff a rice ball and drink water to moisten their burning throats. The attack rhythm of both sides slowed down in unison. (To be continued, please search.
Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
ps: The Ashikaga family doesn't like the Takeda family very much. Of course, the reason is not as simple as holding a grudge. Of course, Kira Yoshitsune would not say it so clearly. He should be harsher in his words.
