The perfect performance of Ashikaga Fujimasa's friends and many minor surnames really frightened many Kanto samurai, making them mistakenly believe that several powerful daimyo in Kanto had reached some kind of ulterior secret agreement secretly, and because of this
The ancient Furukawa was a famous idiot, which made the samurai in Kanto even more willing to believe that this plan must have been the work of the Hojo Ujimasa.
Many samurai couldn't help but marvel at the forbearance of the Hojo family. They were even willing to use 20,000 troops to put on a big show in the Kingdom of Shanghui. This was just an act of weakness to paralyze the vigilance of the Kira family. It seems that the new governor of the Hojo family is also a
A heroic figure with extraordinary resourcefulness and ability that rivals the Lion of Sagami, Hojo Uyasu.
Nasu Ziyin was also successfully bluffed by him, especially when he heard the messenger's scripted and emotionless analysis explaining the current difficulties of the Nasu family incisively and vividly, he felt that his spine was constantly trembling.
, I just felt a cold air coming from my tailbone to the back of my head, and I was extremely panicked.
Although Messenger Furukawa is not of high level and cannot even perform the most basic forbearance of a diplomat, his memory is still very good. He stumbled and finally said something: "In the early spring of this year, Nasu Temple was in Ogurahara.
Obtaining a draw, and then a small victory in the battle of Nango two months later, and asking Nasudian to personally take back the enemy who had hurt Nasudian, Sase Denshichiro Tsunehide of the Ashina family reported revenge
The wounded hatred shows that Nasuden's martial prowess and military strategy are excellent.
It's just that the arrogance of Ozeki Mimasaka and Ohtawara Yamashiro's guardian are a bit inappropriate. They even tried to contact the Satake Ukyo Palace of Hitachi Province to appoint an adopted heir as the governor of the house. Such an act of clearly showing his arms and turning outwards completely deviated from the status of a generation retainer.
Due loyalty. What’s more, one of the Seven Nasu Party moved heroes all over the world with their loyalty and bravery. In doing so, they are desecrating and trampling on the life-long reputation of their father, His Highness Ohtahara Binmae Morizukiyo!"
"That's right!" Aged the clan's old Io Nosumiune: "Otawara Bizen Shuden is an outstanding samurai admired by everyone in the Kanto samurai family. He has made an indelible and huge contribution to our Nasu family. Without Bizen Shuden
Without the strong support of the Nasu family, the status of the Nasu family would not be what it is today. Those two boys from the Ohtawara family have gone too far. They actually want to use their status as relatives to suppress the family governor and promote themselves. It is really a bit ignorant!"
Nasu Ziyin and the confidant warriors in the room all showed great approval. Obviously Otahara Ziqing's reputation in Kanto, especially in Shimono Country, was very resounding. The rise of the Nasu family from weakness to strength was directly related to him, and his role was
For example, Ogiwara Masakatsu, the famous wise general who brought prosperity to the Takeda family, taught and trained two generations of outstanding family governors, Takeda Nobutora and Takeda Shingen, which laid a solid foundation for the Takeda family's prosperity.
The Furukawa messenger began to follow the script again: "My Lord, the meaning is very simple. Since the Ozeki Mimasaku Shrine and the Otawarayama Castle Shrine have taken the initiative to cooperate with the Ukyo Daifu Palace, Hitachi Satake, then why can't the Nasu Palace make active efforts together with the Hojo family?"
What about the confrontational stance? I believe that with the strong support of Hojo Sagami Morden, the one-sided situation in the family will definitely be changed!
In addition, everyone must know the situation of Utsunomiya Shimonoden, the enemy of Nasuden. Utsunomiya Shimonoden returned to Utsunomiya Castle with the support of many parties, and during this period, he married the daughter of Satake Ukyo Daifuden as his first wife.
Madam, did Utsunomiya Shimonoden still side with the Ashina family and the Shirakawa Yuki family, against the Nasu family, the Satake family, the Yuki family, and the Oyama family? The so-called kinship and hatred are sometimes just a thin line.
Otherwise, as long as it’s something that benefits your family, you’ll do it no matter how disgusting it is!”
"It's not unreasonable to say so..." Nasu Ziyin said hesitantly: "It's just that Utsunomiya Hiratsuna will not agree easily, right? That alliance is actually his way to fight against the family. The Utsunomiya family has never
None of them faced the Satake family's attack directly. The Satake family only used their own family to deal with the Ashina family and the Shirakawa Yuki family."
This question made Messenger Furukawa a little stuck. There seemed to be no description of this aspect in his recitation manuscript. Fortunately, Nasu Ziyin didn't intend to get any useful information from his awkward expression. He would listen to this after a while.
The messenger began to mutter again: "My Lord, His Highness, has contacted the important ministers of Utsunomiya Shimonoden, His Highness Hōga Uheiwei Takaada, and His Highness Minagawayama Castle Toshiso.
Nasuden must also know that these two are powerful family retainers of the Utsunomiya family. Especially Yoshihei Daiden, as the most important minister of Utsunomiya Shimonomaru, made a great contribution to Utsunomiya Shimonomaru's smooth return to Utsunomiya Castle.
In addition, he also contacted Ozeki Mimasaku, the concubine of Nasu Temple who assassinated Nasu Temple, and exerted some influence on Nasu Temple to ascend the throne of the family governor. Both of these two were powerful samurai close to Hojo and advocated
The good relationship with the Hojo family has established a stable dominance system for the Utsunomiya family. I believe Nasudon should understand what this means, right?"
Nasu Ziyin let out a long sigh and said: "This is the answer I wanted to get just now... Is it really the plan of the Hojo Sagami Shrine? The Utsunomiya family governor, Satake, rebelled against Hojo, and the Utsunomiya family's most important minister
Hojo turning against Satake... looks quite interesting. If I turn against Hojo and turn against Satake, can I get the same effect?"
Yiwang Yezi Zong is mature and prudent. Although he is not good at strategy, he can still see some subtle doubts in this set of analysis, so he said worriedly: "It seems to have a similar effect? It's just such a hasty anti-Kira
I always feel a little uneasy in my heart!”
"It turns out that Zi Zongdian thinks so too! I also feel very uneasy!" Nasu Ziyin tapped the floor lightly, showing his hesitant and complicated heart. After hesitating for a long time, he still said with worry: "My Nasu family and I
The town man had no grudges in the past and has no grudges in recent times. It seems inappropriate to offend him so hastily. I always feel that doing so will have a very negative impact on my family!"
"My Highness the Lord hopes that Nasu-dono will make a gesture of joining the anti-Kira alliance and send a small number of troops to join the Kanto Allied Forces. The main force will be combined with the troops of Utsunomiya Shimono Moriden to deal with the anti-Hojo people in Shimono Province! This must be the case.
This choice will definitely allow Nasuden to let go of his worries!"
After the Furukawa messenger recited this sentence, he let out a long breath, as if he had finished reciting all the words, and Nasu Ziyin fell into deep thought again. Then he boldly made a request: "What are Nasuden's considerations? No matter what
What is Sudian's final decision? Should he be released first and go back to life?"
"Then please ask the angel to go back and revive him first! Just tell His Highness Furukawa..." Nasu Ziyin hesitated for a long time. Finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely go to Furukawa Imperial Palace to participate in this grand event!"
Midsummer in June has not yet passed, and a storm is coming, which heralds the beginning of the long rainy season. I wonder if it is a deliberate compensation for the lack of rain last year. This year's rain is particularly abundant. There have been heavy snowfalls since the beginning of the year.
There was no shortage of rain in May, which was supposed to be a slightly dry season, until the typhoon hit in June and continuous heavy rain fell.
It is impossible to fight under bad weather conditions such as rain and snow. Both the Kanto samurai and the people of Hokuriku can only sit at home and stare at the continuous rain in a daze. Many retainers in Echigo territory are busy reinforcing river defenses.
Inspection of the embankment. Even if the river embankment is reinforced every year and inspected several times, it is not reassuring. It is said that a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest. No matter how good the river embankment is if left alone for three to five years, it will inevitably collapse.
Hosokawa Fujitaka's wife, Numata Musk, is also pregnant. Because she is pregnant for the first time, the appointed minister is very busy serving his wife. The pregnant Numata Musk is also particularly close to her sister Numata Sandalwood, showing her pregnant belly every now and then.
I ran to the imperial palace, and happened to be chatting and joking with a group of ladies such as Aju, Princess Aya, and the married Nagao Ao, and wasting time in the imperial palace.
This small imperial palace seems to be becoming the main battlefield for Mrs. Echigo's diplomacy. Later, the wife of Nagao Kagenobu and the wife of Sanada Yukitaka also became the eldest sister-level figures in this small group. In addition, there is Ah, who represents Uesugi Teruhora.
Lang also participated in it and served as the convener of the newly added "Decameron" event. Although Lang and Uesugi Teruhu could not be brought together, there were things that were done to make her life go very smoothly.
It is said that this event brings together the wives of various families in Kasugayama Castle every ten days to discuss some topics, such as daily life, clothing, objects, art, research on literature, words and songs, etc., covering all aspects of the material aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation as well as the spiritual and cultural aspects. This
The platform was established in the name of enhancing understanding, strengthening solid relationships, improving the quality of women, and providing better help for the education of the next generation.
Hu Ji also specially built a small courtyard on the south side of the imperial palace, and named it Tingyu Yuan by Hu Ji herself. It is said that it was taken from the meaning of leaning on the railing to listen to the rain. A separate side door was opened as a gathering place for ladies.
All the wives tried their best to strengthen contacts, and lady diplomacy has obviously become another layer of relationship network after the monarch and his ministers.
As the director of the hospital, Hu Ji walked around a few times with her big belly. She also ordered Naotora, Sandalwood, and Yoshino to go there at their own time. If nothing happened, she took her daughters with her, and her son was also visited by them.
Playing in the rain garden, you can hear a burst of cheerful laughter coming from the Kasuga Imperial Palace every day, so Kiragi Toki, the imperial palace, is left alone in the cold. The troubles of happiness are probably like this, there are always some small things that make people worry.
.
Matsui Yukan's wife is also the eldest sister of the Numata Seven Sisters, Akira. She gave birth to her legitimate son Matsui Shintaro just at the beginning of last month. She had already made a marriage agreement with the Hosokawa Fujitaka family, saying that she was determined to marry the eldest daughter of the Hosokawa family.
To be the wife of their legitimate son, Hosokawa Fujitaka was also happy to prepare an in-law relationship first, which could be regarded as a strengthening of the relationship between the brothers-in-law.
The so-called Seven Numata Sisters are the seven daughters born to Numata Mitsukane and his stepmother Soganin. They were also nicknamed the Seven Golden Flowers by Yoshitoki Kira. The eldest sister of the seven sisters, Akira, is Matsui Yukan's wife, and the second sister is Matsui Yukan's wife.
Enka is the main wife of Namioka Tōfō, Sanka the third sister is Kira Yoshitomo's side wife, Musk the fourth sister is Hosokawa Fujitaka's main wife, there are also the fifth sister Kunika, the sixth sister Yunxiang, and the seventh sister Hengxiang.
Not yet married.
There are signs that Numata Mitsukane intends to marry Kunika to Watanabe Moritsuna. His father, Watanabe Takazuna, was promoted to the rank of general because of his merits. He was a very powerful samurai among the Mikawa clan. He became famous very early and was willing to act as a bole.
Supporting many Mikawa samurai, Watanabe Moritsuna was not a prominent figure, but with his father's connections, he could easily inherit huge resources.
In addition, he also planned to marry Yunxiang to Murakami Kunikiyo of Gomoto. As the only legitimate son of Murakami Yoshikiyo who is still alive, Murakami Kunikiyo was incorporated into the horseback group directly under the Ashikaga family of Kamisui and received all-round training as soon as he was born. His father Murakami Yoshikiyo also has a very special status in the Ashikaga family system. Although he is not the elder of the clan, he enjoys the honor of being the first person under the elder of the clan, which is higher than that of another special person, Nagano Yamasa.
Mitsukane Numata's marriage network has quietly opened up. It almost includes many important family members of the Ashikaga family. His behavior is regarded by the Nagao clan as an act with ulterior motives. Any family member of the daimyo family has such a blatant marriage. These are all very dangerous behaviors, and can easily evolve into characters like Date Inamune, Nagano Yamasa, and Ohta Hara Shikiyo, thus inducing great danger.
Including Nagao Kagenobu, Nagao Masakage has mentioned it several times in the evaluation meeting intentionally or unintentionally. Kira Yoshiki is very clear about the Nagao clan's fear and dissatisfaction with the Numata family's behavior. He even knows that Uesugi Teruhu is also somewhat responsible for the Numata family's behavior. The Numata family was a little dissatisfied, especially because Mitsukane Numata had made some dangerous remarks about the issue of concubines in private, which made the Nagao family feel that this person was very uneasy.
Fortunately, this sign is still hidden in layers of fog, and Numata Mitsukane has never been reused. His status in the family is more important than the subordinate ministers who are not enough, and he is the last deputy minister who has fewer sinecures. , does not have the qualifications to participate in the high-level evaluation meeting, and has not yet been recruited by Kira Yoshitoki to consult the castle tower.
Not to mention Terutora Uesugi, who is the oldest member of the Genedai family, his status is far inferior to that of Nagao Kagenobu, Nagao Masaki, Honjo Minoru, and Nakajo Fuji, and he is not as good as Kakizaki Keike, who is almost at the same level. , Saito Asanobu, Hojo Takahiro, Kurokawa Kiyomi and others can only compete with young people like Takigawa Tokimasu, Shima Tokikatsu, Honjo Shigenaga, whose ranks are much lower than theirs.
Numata Mitsukane has basically not done much since he joined the Ashikaga family. In other words, Kira Yoshi never thought of letting him do anything. He spent most of his time studying Sarugaku, tea ceremony, Waka and other cultural aspects. There is basically no say in the internal meetings of the monks. The one who has closer contact is the priest of Tokudaiji Temple who escaped from the disaster, but the relationship with several of his sons-in-law is not close. The most help he received was that a few people helped Numata Hikaru. Go to Wakasa Echizen to take up the post of deputy sergeant.
A smart samurai will not ask meaningless questions, so Uesugi Teruotora did not ask Kira Yoshi why he indulged Numata Hikaru in his unscrupulous marriage, because he knew very well that even if he asked, he would not get the answer he wanted. As long as the Numata family remained a As a powerless relative, no matter how big his actions are, he will not affect anyone.
Moreover, Numata Sandalwood doesn't seem to like Numata Mitsukane's nagging. Instead, she and the wife Torahime, who should be hostile, have become a pair of good sisters. Since the birth of Sandalwood's son Matsuchiyo, she has stopped summoning him on the grounds of inconvenience. His father, Mitsukane Numata, was regarded by the Nagao clan as one of the signs of the Numata family's incompetence.
Standing on the fifth-floor castle tower of Kasugayama Castle and looking out from the railing, Naoetsu Town at the foot of Kasugayama Mountain was already lit up with lights in the white rain. Yoshiki Kira said calmly: "It is inevitable that there will be some problems with such a huge body as the Ashikaga family. Stumbling and stumbling, some conflicts are safer exposed in broad daylight than hidden under the water.
I hope to use Numata Mitsukane's line to attract the attention of more retainers and free them from the internal fighting between the old and new generations, the Echigo faction and the non-Echigo faction. I also hope to use
Blood relationships gradually replaced the habit of focusing on geographical territory. Visible relatives are always easier to guard against than invisible allies, and this is also because..."
Wherever there are people, there will be fights. How to weigh the balance between unity and cooperation and internal competition can never be solved once and for all. The internal fighting among the Ashikaga family has never stopped. Even the smartest counselors have to fight for more for their own circle.
There are many interests, and everyone has relatives and friends, and human relationships are indispensable. Not to mention the complicated interpersonal relationships in the Warring States Period that no one can get rid of.
A few years ago, Kira Yoshi discovered that there are natural divisions of power circles among the members of the clan. No other samurai will take the initiative to approach another circle. For example, it is impossible for a Shinano samurai to enter the circle of Echigo samurai. The same is true according to the following
Echigo is divided into two circles, the old one and the new one. Each circle has a lot of complicated relationships and rules that make people scratch their heads.
He felt that relying on geographical factors to establish a solid circle of influence similar to a hometown association was very detrimental to the family governor's rule over the family business, so he promoted Numata Mitsukane and asked him to be a disruptor. With the Numata family's many daughters and the
When he clung to Kira Yoshi, this son-in-law had the advantage to engage in marriage activities, which gradually allowed him to disrupt the traditional geopolitical circle of influence.
Just as the intense antagonism and fierce internal strife among the family governors of the genealogy generation was a disaster for the family governor, the geniality and harmony of the family affairs ministers group on the genealogy family were like a pool of stagnant water, but in fact it was not necessarily a good thing for the family governor. The unique skills of the Great Song Dynasty were disturbing his views.
He gradually became more proficient in his skills, and the method he used was to treat Numata Mitsukane as a chess piece in his hand, stir up this stagnant water and let it cause more waves, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
The rain outside the window gradually intensified, and the drizzle turned into a downpour. Kira Yoshi shook his neck tiredly and said to himself: "When I was in Kyoto, I didn't feel that the governor was so tired. It wasn't until I moved to Echigo that I began to feel the pressure.
The number has increased, and recently I have become more lazy and inactive. When I take my spare time, I hide in the imperial palace to accompany my wife and children. Occasionally, when I go out to hunt for hawks, I always have hundreds of people in front of me and behind me to protect me tightly. I will never be able to find him again.
The feeling of freedom in Echigo...this must be the fate of the family governor!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
