The so-called Kanto Samurai's Kanto itself is a far-fetched reason, but the local indigenous samurai group is unwilling to accept the xenophobia of outsiders. The Kanto samurai family used this trick to trap the Hojo family for decades, but this trick
It has no effect in front of the newly born Kanto Lord Ashikaga Yoshitoki.
There are only two reasons for this. First, he is ridiculously strong, and second, he is from a famous Ashikaga clan.
The predecessor of the Sagami Hojo Clan, the Ise Clan, was too embarrassed to bring it up. The Isehei Clan was really nothing in the eyes of the Bando Hachihei Clan. The real pillars of the Isehei Clan, the Taira Kiyomori clan, joined forces at Danoura.
They all went to the sea to meet the Dragon King. As a small branch of the Ise clan, he really had no psychological advantage when meeting the Bando Hachihei clan.
This is just like how Uesugi Terutora wanted to be a good guardian of Echigo when it was extremely difficult. Honjo Managa, and powerful Chinese people like Hojo Takahiro would do the opposite. Even more powerful than this is Uesugi Kenshin in another time and space.
It took twenty-three years to subdue the Echigo samurai. Within a few years of conquering these arrogant warriors, they seized control of Etchu, half of Noto Hida, and half of Kaga.
It shows how powerful the Echigo samurai are when they work together. It also proves from the side how difficult it is for a samurai with insufficient status to be a guardian, especially to protect Kinai and Kanto. There are sixty-six kingdoms in the world.
The three most difficult places to get along in are Xiguo, Kinei, and Kanto.
For example, in the Western Kingdom, overlord-level daimyo appear every now and then, and their rapid decline is faster than the speed of losing money playing Bolog. Kinai does not know when a new leader will emerge, but recently Kinai samurai
There are varying degrees of weakness, which seems to create opportunities for certain samurai families to rise to the top, and the place in Kanto, where the war is the most intense and the most dangerous, is simply not a place where ordinary samurai families can stay.
Tokaido, for example, has fertile land and rich products. It is located on a transportation thoroughfare with frequent trade. There are too few places where the intensity of war is much lower than that of neighboring Kinai and Kanto. Remote Kyushu, Mutsu and the "peaceful and peaceful" Shikoku are completely left to their own devices.
Playing house, someone like Saito Michizan can also be regarded as a national thief. In contrast, Nizi is the guardian of the Kyogoku clan in Izumo country. He is also a member of the Kyogoku clan, so the so-called defeat of the superior is more similar.
It would be much better to just gain independent recognition as a branch.
In Tokaido, people like Oda Nobunaga and Matsudaira Ieyasu could easily acquire a country, which is simply unbelievable to the world. At least this kind of thing is definitely not that easy in Kinai and Kanto. In a sense, Matsunaga shows up in another time and space.
He is only a member of the Miyoshi family system. He is fighting against the three of Miyoshi in a semi-independent manner. The guy who calls himself a conspirator in the Warring States Period cannot defeat three "waste". He is simply a big parallel import...
In the narrow view of the samurai in Kanto, the world should be almost as chaotic as Kanto. The chaos that has lasted for two hundred years since the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate will suddenly end on this day. I believe that every samurai in Kanto must be sincere and fearful. Ashikaga Yoshitoki
It is unbelievable how powerful it is. It took only a few years from realizing the rise of Echigo to sweeping across Kanto. The expansion speed is comparable to the rise of the overlord of the Western Kingdom. This is a strange thing that the Kanto samurai have never heard of or seen.
According to this conclusion, there is absolutely no possibility of fighting against the Kanto overlord with the ability of the Satake family. What Satake Yoshiaki should do is to rush to Edo Castle and kneel before Ashikaga Yoshitoki to plead guilty and beg for mercy. But the reality is far from what was imagined.
It's so simple. If you plead guilty and ask for mercy, you can get permission for security measures, which won't make them struggle for so long.
The Satake family members are still worried about two issues, the first is whether the Kanto Hachiya Kata can still be applied to the new Kanto Duke, and the second is whether the Satake family will still have its seal reduced after begging for mercy.
From the current situation, it seems that there is no hope of retaining the name of Kanto Hachiya Kata. The strong Ashikaga Yoshitoki will not even allow too powerful independent people to survive under his partner. For example, those unlucky guys from Shimono Country were caught in the crossfire.
The person who was dismembered in such a violent manner that even his mother did not recognize him is the future role model of the Satake family. Not to mention whether Kanto Hachiya Katata will be given to these families, it is already thankful that they can continue to exist safely. His Majesty the Lord.
Another problem is interconnected with the former. It is almost like the relationship between prosperity and loss. The Satake retainers do not want to see the hard-earned foundation taken away by the new Kanto Duke with a few frivolous words. However,
How should we deal with this thorny problem? Should we raise the flag of rebellion, pretend to be stupid, or go to Edo to beg for mercy?
"What a troublesome problem!" Satake Yoshiaki was in a dilemma. He never expected that Ashikaga Yoshitoki would be so strong. In the blink of an eye, the Musashi Kingdom was destroyed, and in the blink of an eye, the Susaki Kingdom was destroyed, and then in the blink of an eye, he was destroyed.
If the country is over, will the Hitachi country where he is in the blink of an eye also be over? If it is really over, will the Satake family be over too? This is a question worth pondering.
Wada Akiwei, who was entrusted with the heavy responsibility, did not dare to relax at all. Seeing that Satake Yoshiaki was still hesitating and unable to make a decision, he continued to persuade: "Since ancient times, there has never been such a powerful samurai. No one has heard or seen before the town government made it public.
Weiye, if we, the Kanto samurai family, do not know how to obey and follow the general trend, we will have to suffer the same fate as those famous samurai families who were wiped out in the Yuki War. Please put aside the barriers in your heart and give the Satake family a chance to survive.
!”
The influence of Wada Akiwei cannot be underestimated. His adopted name is known as Anfang Mamoru to the outside world. In the Satake family, he has swept away the subordinates and called himself a subordinate. In the Satake family, he has always been famous for his high level of military strategy. He serves as a military officer in the family corps.
The guide was an important member of the clan who was equivalent to Satake Yoshiaki's right-hand man. He had many samurai friends at home, so he was basically not afraid of Satake Yoshige.
After hearing this, Yoshiaki Satake just frowned and pondered, still unwilling to make a statement easily. More than half of the members of the Satake family were also unwilling to make a statement easily, not because what Wada Akiwei said was unreasonable, but because the Satake family was entrenched in the Hitachi Kingdom.
For hundreds of years, there has always been a set of beliefs that persist, which is how the ancestors of the Satake family faced Minamoto Yoritomo's army in Sands City.
Ueno Tono Hideunaga observed his words and realized that he was still looking over his shoulder and was unwilling to make a decision, so he glanced at Wada Akiwei, who immediately said: "You guys are probably thinking about the old events in Jinsha City!
I think it is unreliable to borrow the past stories of our ancestors. Didn't you see that my Satake family still failed in the battle of Jinsha City? This example just tells us that we should not try to challenge the entire Kanto or even the world with one city and one place.
For example, Odawara Castle in Sagami Province has high walls and deep fortifications, and plenty of soldiers and food. However, whether Hojo Sagami Mamoru can rely on this castle to defeat His Highness Kakata is still unknown. Then we can take a look at the 35,000 soldiers His Highness Kamikata arranged in Sagami Province.
The army, the 30,000 troops outside Edo Castle, as well as countless troops in Ueno, Shimono, Shimosu, Echigo and even further territories are all under the orders of His Highness Kakata. How long can Hojo Sagami Mamoru hold on in the face of a steady stream of troops?
Even if we don't attack but just besiege, we can't hold on for long."
Satake Yoshige's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, and he snorted coldly: "Isn't it true that the sweeper assistant has accepted the benefits of the town government?"
Wada Akira answered confidently: "Yes! I did receive a gift from Master Asayama Nichijo. I dare to say that most of the samurai of the Satake family have received gifts. However, my opinions are true and I dare not deceive my lord in the slightest. I will not continue to fight against him."
It will bring any benefit to my Satake family! The battle of Sand Castle in the Genpei era almost took away the chance of the revival of my Satake family. Does my lord still want to let the young master perform meritorious service again like Shengrakuji Temple (Satake Hideyoshi)?
Are you forgiven?"
"I think it is acceptable to surrender and reduce the title." Akinao Funao paused and said: "After all, Shaodian is much stronger than the family governors of Oyama, Utsunomiya, and Nasu, and the successors of the family governors. I believe that Shaodian is much stronger.
His bravery will surely make him great achievements on the battlefield, and there will be no problem in regaining the lost territory!"
"What Yamashiro Shoden said is very good! I also think that Young Master can do it!" Wada Akiwei quickly flattered him, but Satake Yoshige still acted indifferent.
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the wide room, and the diplomatic envoy Eoka Shigeshi hurriedly walked in with a piece of paper. He leaned on the ground and said: "My lord, something serious has happened! His Highness Kōkō announced the plans of the previous generation Furukawa Kōkō.
The ten articles of crime include recognizing a thief as his father, killing his younger brother, intimidating his successor, and listening to slander. One of them is very shocking!"
Satake Yoshiaki said in surprise: "Which one?"
"Deceive the people of the country, instigated by Matsunaga Michichi, and use deception to promise dozens of people of the Kanto countries that they are willing to adopt the sons of local lords as the heirs of the family governor, and win the people of the Kanto country gathered in Furukawa Gossip to resist tenaciously.
This is a crime of breaking one's trust. He is a thief who has no faith and no justice!"
"Ah!" Satake Yoshiaki's blood faded in an instant and became as white as paper. His body swayed and he fainted on the ground without waking up.
…
The winter of the fourth year of Eiroku was extremely cold. The cold wave from the north was like a "bobo" wave that constantly invaded the land of Kanto. Heavy snow fell in Musashi Province, causing roads to be blocked and traffic difficulties. The 300,000 Echigo farmers who had just arrived endured a torturous torment.
Uncomfortable cold and humid climate, brave wind and snow, worked hard to build their own villages and towns in various parts of Musashi Province.
Villages were built, towns were built, roads were built, and embankments were built. The chaotic and disorderly plans of the Musashi Kingdom were all overturned, and some traffic roads were abolished and needed to be rebuilt. The manpower, material, and financial resources required for all the above are astronomical.
The new residents who have moved into Musashi Country will have a better future than they had in Echigo.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and with the passing of the old year, the first major event in the new year was the court meeting held in Edo Castle in the first month. After nearly half a year of intensive construction, Edo Castle finally looked like something. From Kanto
Envoys from the Eight Kingdoms, Yuao, Koshinobu, Hokuriku and Tokaido gathered here to pay homage to the new Kanto Lord who was about to be born.
Famous members of the samurai family, including Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, have presented congratulatory gifts. These envoys will linger in Edo City for a period of time to inquire about news and study how the Ashikaga family was defeated in less than a year.
The heroes of the Kanto region were able to easily capture the Kanto region that the shogunate had been trying to conquer for more than a hundred years.
The samurai envoys from all over the country acted as temporary military observers. They came to the frontline camp outside Odawara Castle in Sagami Province to watch the siege of the Kanto Army. Ashikaga Yoshitoki also specially held a unique tea party in the camp, led by a master who was proficient in tea ceremony.
Kawafuji Takashi personally served as the tea head, and it was a great time to laugh and talk about romance and the past and present in front of Odawara Castle.
Yoshiaki Satake was so angry that he fell ill. The wise governor of the Satake family was actually deceived by Ashikaga Fujimasa. At first, he insisted on participating in Ashikaga Fujimasa's plan, but now he was lied to by a big lie.
The embarrassing result of the revelation, such a shame and humiliation, how could he still have the face to appear in front of the public?
The anger and annoyance caused the already weak body to quickly collapse under the blow, and he almost died in less than two months. Fortunately, the medical officer of the Satake family also learned medical skills from Nagata Tokumoto.
Relying on those two brushes, Yoshiaki Satake was finally brought back to the world from Hirasaka.
Although he was lucky enough to survive, his ambition dissipated in one day. On the first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Eilu, Satake Yoshiaki announced that he would give up the position of governor of the family to his legitimate son Satake Yoshigeage, and he himself abdicated and lived in seclusion without caring about worldly affairs. Then he trusted the governor Satake.
Yoshishige made an important decision and rushed to Edo Castle with a group of family members to ask for an audience with Ashikaga Yoshitoki.
Satake Yoshige's attitude was simple and clear. He was willing to surrender to the powerful Kōkata but had to be given a way to survive. This was tantamount to handing the knife to Ashikaga Yoshitoki's hand and then telling him to kill him or to scratch him as he pleased.
, this move of retreating in order to advance makes it really difficult for Ashikaga Yoshitoki to be cruel to him, but the effect of this move is limited to this. It is impossible to avoid punishment further.
It would be really stupid if someone took the initiative to hand over the knife and didn't take action, so Ashikaga Yoshitoki wiped out the seven counties of Hitachi Province and the territory of three counties, and the relevant territories of Minami Mutsu and Shimono Province were wiped out, leaving only
The lower level is the territory of the Satake family. According to careful calculation, it has been reduced from 300,000 koku to 160,000 to 167,000 koku. This is almost a half reduction in exchange for the survival of the family business.
When Satake Yoshijug turned red and glared at Ashikaga Yoshi, he seemed to not understand why this guy didn't play his cards according to the routine. Yamaoka Tokinaga angrily yelled: "Satake-dono, please pay attention to your identity! You are so disrespectful to His Highness Kōkata, what a Satake family upbringing you have."
Where is it!"
"Obviously you should..."
"When I should be showing magnanimity, why don't I give you the Satake family's security skills to win over people's hearts?" Ashikaga Yoshitoki closed his folding fan and said calmly: "It's better to use less of this kind of cleverness. Most people like to use small tricks.
He can't become a great weapon. Satakedon is young and has a bright future, so don't fall into such petty tricks and become an incompetent samurai."
Satake Yoshige's face was filled with embarrassment after being taught a lesson. He wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he think of using it like this? Why did he think that he had the ability to deceive Ashikaga Yoshishige? There is probably nothing more embarrassing than being exposed on the spot for playing tricks.
For the first time in his life, his confidence was shaken, and he began to question whether his civil and military judgment was accurate.
Satake Yishige, who had nearly half of his territory wiped out, retreated in dismay. Another man, Edo Tadamichi, who came forward, was even more severely reduced. The territory was split in half and the richest plains were taken away, leaving only a hilly terrain for the Edo family.
On the terrace, Edo Tadamichi, who was nearly sixty years old, was so angry that he couldn't bear to fall ill. Not long after, his son Edo Tsushimasa took over as the governor of the family.
Another unlucky guy is Oda Ujiharu, who has the most disingenuous attitude. He even asked Ashikaga Yoshitoki for the return of Oda Castle, which made Oda Ujiharu's chuunio temperament show up again. His level is really too high.
Cai was dealt with again, this time by the always languid Da Fu Zhengguo.
This man calls himself the leader of the Ashikaga Clan's new members. After getting the Ashikaga Yoshitoki and assigning the task of suppressing the Hitachi Kingdom, he actively united with the relatives of the Minami Hitachi Thirty-three Hall to target the closest ones.
Oda Castle. The Daebei Party pieced together a force of 7,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on Oda Castle. In order to achieve meritorious service, Daebu Sadakuni completely risked his life.
This frightened the Oda clan so much that he immediately sent a letter of request for help to the Satake clan and the Edo clan. The two samurai families who had always responded to requests suddenly pretended to be deaf and dumb. Two or three letters of request for help fell into silence. Oda clan's heart also followed.
Feeling quite cold, he scolded the two families for being unloyal and asked Satomi Yoshihiro for help. Still no news and no hints were given. At this time, Oda Ujiharu finally realized how bad the situation was.
The Oda family's ability to run away was quite good when their military skills were not good enough. They escaped from Oda Castle overnight with less than a thousand soldiers, and then handed over their own Oda Castle to Oda Sadakuni. Seeing that the city's territory was lost and occupied.
As a result, Oda Ujiharu took dozens of his samurai to Edo Castle to complain.
This guy was funny enough, so he proposed to sue Oda Sadakuni for recklessly attacking his Oda Castle, so that he was "caught off guard" and forced to abandon the city and flee. In addition, he also demanded that Ashikaga Yoshitoki must respect his Horikoshi family.
Due to his birth status, he must be treated like a member of the Kanto clan, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki must be taught a lesson by Otosada Sadakuni.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki was said to be confused at the time. Looking at the domineering Oda Ujiharu, he asked unexpectedly: "Is this the governor of the Oda family, one of the Eight Houses in Kanto? I don't understand what kind of mentality Oda-den has to propose such a thing.
An unbelievable suggestion, this is probably a sign of personal courage!"
Honda was snorting coldly at Odajiji: "Odaden probably didn't wake up yesterday and came to my Ohiro room in Edo Castle in broad daylight to suffer from hysteria. Not to mention that the Horikoshi Ashikaga family was completely wiped out sixty years ago.
, even if this clan is a descendant of the Horikoshi Ashikaga family, it cannot change the result that this clan has already succeeded the Oda clan. Why do you want to be treated like a clan? Is it just because of the attitude of Oda-den against His Highness Kikata? Really?
Is Mr. Furukawa’s exile a lie?”
Odajiji's face turned pale, and he immediately understood that what he was saying was going to be bad. Before he could organize his words to argue, he heard Ashikaga Yoshiki say: "The Oda family of the Kanto Hachiyagata family are remnants of the Furukawa Ashikaga clan, and
After repeated admonitions, he used his background as a threat to force me to change his decision. His words and deeds seriously violated the laws of the Ashikaga family, and I ordered... to change! The family governor Oda clan and all his clan were exiled to Sado Island!"
