The two slowly came to another room and saw the ancient-looking armor enshrined on it. It was the Genta garment, the head of the eight Genji clans, passed down from generation to generation by the Genji clan in Kawachi. The Genoyoshi family of Hachiman Taro wore this large armor back then.
In the Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine Genfu, this armor was passed down from the Minamoto Yori family to the Minamoto Yori Dynasty, and gradually became the highest symbol of the identity of the Minamoto clan.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked over and bowed respectfully, put his hands together and recited the name of Namu Hachiman Bodhisattva. After a while he said: "What my brother said makes sense. People's support is not as simple as violent conquest."
That’s the thing! If you want to train a fierce dog, you must first put a halter on the fierce dog. You can’t let them bite at will until they are tamed. Isn’t that what the "Go Success and Failure Shime" and "Jianwu Shime" mean?"
Konoe Maekyu frowned and said, "It's not wrong to say that, but...Does Yoshitoki really have the time to do this? This is not appropriate after all! With the responsibilities of the Kanto public, it cannot be established
The imperial family system will make His Highness the Shogunate even more suspicious of Yoshitoki!"
"Even if you do nothing, His Majesty the Shogun will not trust me! Although people's hearts are unpredictable, their nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will never change." Ashikaga Yoshitoki firmly believes that extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and he believes in Ashikaga Yoshitoki.
Hui's kindness has long been repaid, and this time the shogunate reluctantly promised to give him a family status. This process was not very pleasant, but he still had to accept the kindness.
The debate between Konoe Maekyu and Ashikaga Yoshitoki was inconclusive. The two expressed their thoughts from different perspectives. In fashionable terms, it is called a full exchange of each other's opinions. In popular terms, it is called chicken and duck talking.
, in the end no one was able to convince the other to change his mind. Fortunately, Konoe had no intention of achieving certain goals a long time ago. If we can't reach an agreement, then we won't talk.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki admired Konoe Maekyu very much. In another time and space, he was involved in the mess of the Muromachi shogunate. He once went to Kanto to encourage Uesugi Kenshin as the leader of Kanto.
The rear dragon was able to sweep through Shangluo in Kanto as quickly as possible and defend the shogunate to support the general.
It is rare for the reigning Guan Bai to leave the capital. It is even more unheard of to leave the Kinnei Kingdom for the distant country. This is also something that has never been done by the ministers of Guan Bai Zuo from ancient times to the present. It can be said that what he did is a pioneer.
What Guan Bai has to do is sit in Kyoto and handle government affairs for the court. Even if Guan Bai sits there without saying a word, as long as he is there, it can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. Guan Bai not only requires that his identity must be from the Wushe family, but also requires that
Possessing extraordinary political foresight and outstanding skills, the Five Regents are five families who take turns to serve as Guanbai. Instead of one family monopolizing the government affairs.
If the level of a certain Guan Bai is not good, it will be slowed down minute by minute. Those Guan Bai who only serve for a year or even a few months are replaced due to political losses due to various reasons. Normally, the family governor who comes from the Wushe family will be the governor.
It is normal to be off for two or three years, and it is not surprising to have a stable position for ten or eight years.
Of course it was not him who was so bold for Konoe Maekyu. If he had his own selfish desire for power, he could have stayed in Kyoto and continued to play happily with Ashikaga Yoshiki. Anyway, General Swordsman was the same age and very young as him, and he would have been able to do it.
If he lives for twenty or thirty years, there is no need for him to try a dangerous place like Kanto.
As a result, the Dragon of Echigo was not very good, playing a messy strategy and losing a good hand of cards. Uesugi Kenshin, who was red-eyed after losing, refused to admit defeat and dragged Kanto out into the battle again and again. Konoe Maekaku saw that this king really let him
Disappointed, he had no choice but to return to Kyoto in despair and guard his little family fortune.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki did not hope that his sworn brother could live a happy life and have a smooth career in the imperial court. After all, the marriage relationship between the two was entangled in several layers. Relatives stacked on top of each other had already formed an offensive and defensive alliance that was the core of their interests.
, this kind of alliance is probably at the level of a blood alliance, which is the so-called prosperity and loss of both.
This is like how Uesugi Terutora, who was originally entangled in an interest group, used his deep interest group connections and a serious illness to greatly reduce his ambitions, and finally succeeded in forcing the always tough Echigo Dragon to give in little by little and become a subordinate.
Level, this is a big gambling adventure that you cannot afford to lose. If you win the bet, both parties will be winners. If you lose the bet, you may fall into chaos.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki is quite powerful. It only took nine years from the bottom to Echigo. In just nine years, the territory of Echigo country was expanded to include Echigo country, Echigawa country, Ueno country and Musashi country.
, a huge territory that controls the entire territory of Shimosu Province, Shimono Province, and Hitachi Province, most of Shinano Province and Sagami Province, and half of Kaga Province and Dewa Province.
Two hundred years ago, it would have been no problem for him to immediately become the general of the conquering barbarians. It was just because he had Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had the kindness of knowing and supporting him, and he had no shame to stab Ashikaga Yoshiteru in turn and then declare himself a general of the barbarian conquerors.
That will only create a starting point for his descendants. Just like the beginning of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen mutiny, his children all followed the same example and rebelled. This precedent cannot be set casually.
After resting for three days in Kamakura, the inauguration ceremony of the Kanto Governor was held. It was much different from the grand occasion when Ashikaga Yoshitoki ascended the throne. This was because Ashikaga Yoshitoki only wanted to take over the Kanto Governor smoothly and did not intend to let anything go.
The big words stimulated the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Otherwise, if he were to move towards the standards of a general who conquered the barbarians, he would only need to add some more rituals and declarations to command the world.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki deliberately kept the purpose of the enthronement ceremony vague, and did not make any interest commitments about expansion or hegemony in front of the people of Kanto. He also did not mention the role of shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the enthronement ceremony. From now on, Kanto will be his.
Why bother to talk about the shogunate's great kindness to him in his own territory? Why not repeat these sour words about his kindness? It is better to emphasize the majesty of the law and establish the dominance of the Ashikaga family in Kanto.
The enthronement ceremony of the Kanto Governor held that day was presided over by Ashikaga Yoshitoki. As a freshly minted Edo Kōkō, he was automatically given the post of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, and he presided over the House of Lord Kanto as the Kanto Kōkō.
The succession ceremony was appropriate. The day before, Terutora Uesugi had received the latest appointment from Konoe Maekyu. His official title was unchanged and he was promoted to the fourth position.
Uesugi Terutora performed very well at the enthronement ceremony of the Kanto Governor. After a few days of surprise training by the ministers, he was able to complete all the etiquette during the ceremony. Ashikaga Yoshitoki deliberately observed the Congratulations on the right
In the team, Narita Nagayasu stood in an inconspicuous corner, carefully observing whether his every move was as outrageous as the legend said.
He vaguely remembered that at the inauguration ceremony of the Kanto Prince three days ago, he did not see any samurai who dared to sit on a horse and salute. In other words, it was impossible to enter Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine on horseback. As long as he stepped into the shrine of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine,
You must dismount and walk. Except for His Highness Kōkata at Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto, there has never been a samurai in the world who dared to show off in front of Ashikaga Gitoki without dismounting and saluting.
The process of Uesugi Teruhora's enthronement ceremony was not complicated. When he paid homage to Hachiman Daibodhisattva and then to Edo Lord Ashikaga Yoshi, he swore allegiance to Edo Lord and guarded the gate of the Kanto samurai family for a period of time. During this period, no samurai dared to say a word.
Mouth, Ashikaga Yoshitoki carefully observed and found that Narita Chotasu had no intention of showing up, so all the preparations he had made to sharpen his sword were wasted.
The Narita clan comes from the Yokoyama Party, one of the Yokoyama Party of the Seven Musashi Parties. From a genealogical perspective, they have a complicated genetic relationship with Nakajo's parents. The first time it was recorded in historical materials was on the side of Minamoto Yoshitomo in "The Tale of Homoto"
Narita Taro, and later recorded in the Kamakura Period's "Azuma Mirror" when Minamoto Yoritomo was conquering Oshu Fujiwara clan, Narita Shichiro assisted Tsuna in joining the army and made great achievements and was rewarded with territory.
Generally speaking, they are an imperial family member of the Kamakura shogunate. This family is the lackey of the die-hard Hojo Tokusune family. When the Kamakura shogunate collapsed, they also suffered misfortune with their master. Their skills were confiscated and they became penniless ronin. If not
During the Muromachi period, a founder of the ZTE appeared and managed to earn back some of the family business, but the Narita clan was completely doomed.
Such an inconspicuous little family was transformed into a strange family in another time and space. It is said that during the battle of 9 BC and 3 years later, an unknown ancestor of this family had an affair with Taro Hachiman.
The Minamoto no Yoshi family had close friendship, so from the Minamoto no Yoshi family and later to the Kamakura shogunate and Muromachi shogunate, successive shogunate rulers gave the Narita family the privilege of saluting on horses, and over time this became a tradition.
There is also a theory that the Narita family, who was born in the Musashi Seven Party, faked the name of the Fujiwara family, which is the same clan as the Yamauchi-Uesugi family. Therefore, the ancestors of the "noble-born" Narita family once obtained the charter of Hachiman Taro Minamoto no Yoshi family.
When you meet anyone in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, you don’t have to get off your horse to greet anyone. Anyway, I am very good at it, and I can show off to anyone I meet.
This is a story full of loopholes. Hachiman Taro Minamoto no Yoshie went to have a close relationship with an inconspicuous commoner of the Musashi Seven Party who did not understand anything. This only shows that the person who fabricated this story did not even have basic common sense. Ashikaga Yoshitoki knew it very well.
I remember that in the battles of the first nine years and the next three years, the main force used was the Bando Hachihei clan. It is true that the Musashi Seven Party also participated in the battle, but the status of these families was obviously very different.
When Taketsuna Taira, the leader of the Chichibu Party, one of the Bando Hachihei clan, received the first royal white flag from the Minamoto no Yoshi family as a vanguard general, the Musashi Seven Party members were just trudging along with the large army.
Big head soldier, as for a fake samurai family from the "Fujiwara Kita family" who can't even produce his own family tree, it is really difficult to pretend to be an elephant in front of the Minamoto no Yoshi family.
There are thousands of branches of the Fujiwara Kita family, and most of them can't even get enough to eat. If the Minamoto no Yoshi family sees a samurai from the Fujiwara Kita family and thinks that he is not "noble" and must be given some privileges, it would be too nonsense, Tsuru
Oka Hachimangu Shrine is a family shrine that Minamoto Yoriyoshi invited from Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine. It is equivalent to the purpose of the Bodhi Temple established by Kawachi Genji in Kanto, so that a common member of the samurai family with a low background and no achievements can live in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine.
The privilege of dismounting, what an idiot the person who made up this nonsense must be.
During the enthronement ceremony of the Kanto Governor, Narita Nagayasu was really as honest as a loyal dog. He knelt on the ground the whole time without even raising his head. The lord of the Musashi Kingdom was originally from the Uesugi family of Ogigaya, and he had never heard of the Narita family.
There is no record of the deeds of the Ogidani Uesugi family and even the Yamauchi Uesugi family in the Kanto area, not even the unofficial anecdotes. As for his family, who is small in stature and reputation, he has to weigh his own weight first if he wants to show off to others.
…
The combination of Edo Lord Ashikaga Yoshitomo and Kanto Governor Teruator Uesugi was astonishing. The two brothers completed a major leap in their lives in just three days. Huge pressure seemed to be weighing heavily on the Hojo Ujimasa.
On their shoulders, more and more intelligence showed that Ashikaga Yoshitoki was very thorough in suppressing Kanto. Even the Fuma ninjas sent by the Hojo family to stir up trouble could not cause the large-scale riots they wanted.
Most of the people in Sagami Province could no longer share the joys and sorrows with the Hojo family. They rebelled against the Hojo clan and joined the Kwantō family. The rebellion of the people in Sagami Province meant that some of the military forces in Odawara Castle who came from the people of Sagami Province had to be released.
If we don't let them go, there are only two solutions. Either kill these Chinese soldiers with one sword to prevent them from "collaborating with the enemy", or disarm and put them under house arrest until the war is won.
No matter which method you choose, you will need to face the crisis of losing people's hearts. The defenders in Odenon Castle will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of shaken military morale and low morale. Then the people's morale will be greatly reduced, and the townspeople in the city will be in turmoil. Even if the pacification measures are taken,
Proper supervision by Fuma ninjas can ensure that no big trouble is caused, but when the first link of this chain reaction starts, it means that the subsequent dominoes will also collapse.
At this time, it happened to be a dark day when the moon waxes and wanes. Not long after the sun set, the entire Odawara Castle fell into deathly silence. If they hadn't seen the majestic city line drawing a winding arc, no one would have thought that this was the scene.
A city with tens of thousands of people, quiet and deserted is the latest evaluation of this once the most dynamic city in Tokaido.
Ever since Hojo Genan brought the news back to Odawara Castle, the atmosphere in the entire city has become more and more weird and uneasy. The samurai in the city gathered together in twos and threes and whispered about the events in Kanto. No matter how the Hojo family blocked the news, the news would always penetrate inside.
, Fuuma Ninja tried to arrest some criminals, but the more they arrested, the more confused the public opinion in the castle town became. In the end, the prisons were full, but they still failed to suppress public opinion, and instead the rumors became more and more outrageous.
As many low-level samurai also participated in the spread of rumors, public opinion became uncontrollable. Hojo Ujiyasu once again had to use his personal prestige to appease the restless crowd. However, personal prestige and credibility are not unlimited overdrafts.
One day, when no one will buy into Hojo Ujiyasu's words anymore, the Hojo family will really be finished.
PS: I would like to bow down and thank my book friend Kai Akashi for the reward. There will be four scheduled updates tomorrow and preparations are complete.
PS: The story about Narita Nagayasu is definitely fabricated by later generations. If it can be related to the Minamoto no Yoshi family granting privileges and exemptions, it can only be said that some Edo samurai have poor IQs and may not have access to the history of that class.
Documents and compilation of historical materials all rely on brainstorming.
