In November of the eleventh year of Tenmon, Oda Nobunaga suddenly reached a no-war agreement with Takeda Shingen, who was at war. Both parties agreed to divide their respective boundaries according to the first sphere of influence. The dividing line between the two sides was centered on Okazaki Castle.
The west of Saki Castle belongs to the Oda family, and the east of Okazaki Castle belongs to the Takeda family. This also means that the Mikawa War that has ravaged Tokaido for several years has finally come to an end.
Just a few days after the Takeda Army retreated in a large scale, Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to Gifu Castle at lightning speed. Here he had a pleasant conversation with Oda Nobunaga. The two sides reached an agreed goal, which was to support the general to return to the army.
In Shangluo, the development of all these events was so fast that it made people feel dizzying. Smart people soon realized that the series of strange actions of the Oda family seemed to have been premeditated.
Gyeonggi's attitude towards this is ambiguous. The Miyoshi family has long been divided. The Miyoshi trio and Matsunagahide accuse each other of killing Ashikaga Yoshiteru. The farce will never end. Miyoshi Yasunaga and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu play the role in it.
The character who stirred up trouble was having a lot of fun, and he didn't look like a head governor or a family leader at all. It's even more strange that such a weird family has people's hearts.
Soon Miyoshi Yasunaga couldn't stop laughing, because he realized that his allies were unfortunately very good-for-nothing. One and a half of the three Shikoku brothers were unmotivated, especially the two Awa-Sanuki brothers who seemed to be concerned about the unrest in Kinai.
Not interested at all, the two brothers Miyoshi Nagaharu and Tokawa Deho didn't care about Awa Sanuki's taboos about separation. They felt that they were all the children of the same mother and there was no need to divide them in such detail.
The two brothers would play hawk hunting together, drink wine, and occasionally go to the countryside to bully men and women. They were so happy that they didn't even know their last names. Anzhai Nobuyasu and his younger brother Anzhai Nobuyasu were full of revenge for killing their father.
Not without retribution, Matsunaga Hide hated the Miyoshi trio who had the motive to kill his father.
It seems that Miyoshi Yasunaga, the elder of the Genedai clan who has done nothing, does not have much good feelings. The two brothers also felt that it would be too difficult for them to seek revenge, so they made up their minds to continue their previous business with the Awaji Navy and collected the money.
Eighty percent of the tax revenue was originally going to be transferred to the Mihaoshi family, but now it seems that the situation does not require that much. If you find any reason to say that the ship is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired, more than 30% of the tax revenue will be deducted for your own use.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi angrily scolded the two brothers as bastards and vowed to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson. Unfortunately, he could only wave the flag and shout for it. The 10,000 troops in his hand were already the total military power he could mobilize.
This is the Yuze left behind by his adoptive father Miyoshi Changqing. According to this mess, sooner or later Yuze will be gone. Then he will have nothing.
Miyoshi Yasunaga rushed to Shikoku to educate the three Miyoshi brothers. The biggest reliance in his faction was the support of the three Shikoku families. A sudden problem with the allies in the rear caused Miyoshi Yasunaga who was sitting at the front to suddenly lose confidence and was in no hurry to run back.
On the contrary, there was a problem. The power of the Kinai Miyoshi family was suddenly vacated.
At this juncture, I heard that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was supported by Oda Nobunaga, a Tokaido native. The attitude of the Miyoshi family was unprecedentedly unified, that is, they were very dismissive and questioned whether His Highness Kimikata had any brains.
He ignored the 60,000-strong army and threatened to deal with the Kanto Lord, who had a 100,000-strong army. However, he ran to Tokaido and defected to Owari's fool Oda Nobunaga. This is not necessarily because of his head.
It's a brain disease.
No one took Oda Nobunaga's declaration of Kamiro seriously. The rhetoric about crusading against Miyoshi and rebuilding the shogunate was simply cliche. Hosokawa Harumoto started shouting similar words in the 18th year of Astronomy, and he has been shouting them for more than 20 years now.
Years have passed, and Hosokawa Harumoto has been dead for many years now. From time to time, friends will jump out and shout like they have a convulsion. This is no longer rare in the Miyoshi family.
The Miyoshi family, who underestimated their enemy, did not expect that Oda Nobunaga had already been married to Asai Nagamasa before that, and married his concubine Lin Ji to Asai Nagamasa as his stepmother. Later, the two parties reached a secret military alliance agreement.
.Taking advantage of the Kinai winter season when there is almost no snowfall, we suddenly crossed Sekigahara and entered Omi Province.
Oda Nobunaga's choice was far beyond people's expectations. He launched a surprise attack in late November, which he never expected. He led a mighty 40,000-strong army to cover up the massacre and killed Gifu Castle in just one and a half days.
When they arrived at the gate of Kannonji Castle, Rokkaku Yoshiji was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold back his urine. The speed of the advance was simply astonishing.
At this time, the Rokkaku family happened to be at a low ebb. The riot at Kannonji Temple caused huge disasters and almost drove away the Rokkaku father and son. What was even worse was that the Rokkaku retainers group moved back Rokkaku Yoshihide, the real deposed son of Rokkaku Yoshitsune.
Kannonji Castle's Rokkaku Seisho, his father Rokkaku Sadayori served as the temporary acting governor of the Jindai family.
As a result, Rokkaku Sadeyori discovered that he was very talented as a family governor. Ganshundang simply kicked out his real nephew, Rokkaku Gisumi. Fortunately, Rokkaku Sadeyori was not as ruthless as Ashikaga Takauji, and he was not so crazy as to murder his nephew, so
The lineage of Rokkaku Yoshimi, who is equivalent to the direct lineage, has become an insurmountable threshold in front of Rokkaku Chengzhen and Rokkaku Yoshiji.
The Rokkaku family has declined in an unsightly manner, not even one-fifth of what it was ten years ago. Compared with the heyday of the Rokkaku family twenty years ago, it is even more different. Faced with Oda Nobunaga's
The army raided, but none of the family members chose to lead troops to rescue Guanyin Temple City. In despair, Rokkaku and his son made a quick decision to escape. They secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night and led more than 500 people in their headquarters to abandon the city and flee directly to their ancestors.
The blessed place where hide and seek has been successful many times is the poor valley of Koka County.
So the lucky Oda Nobunaga was able to win so easily without a fight, and used such outrageous means to gain control of Minami Omi, and on the spot made Asai Nagamasa's nose crooked with anger, and three generations of their family were
After decades of hard work, the coveted Minami Omi Kingdom changed hands like this. It was like holding Asai Nagamasa's face and slapping him hard. Less than half a month after forming the alliance, he found that half of his face was swollen.
.
The complaints and complaints of the Asai family were not even the buzzing of flies in Oda Nobunaga's ears. It was impossible to spit out the fat meat he had eaten to the Asai family with just a few complaints.
It has nothing to do with Asai Nagamasa's failure to win after struggling for so long. Anyway, he only needs to know that as soon as his army arrives, Minami Omi will change his face and become the direct leader of the Oda family.
Oda Nobunaga was just happy to take over a large piece of land, but then he caused a big trouble. The prosperity of Omi far exceeded that of the relatively remote Mino country, and the farmers and soldiers who had never seen the market in Omi were immediately dazzled.
Suddenly, in just one day, hundreds of people were hunted and hunted, causing huge damage to Kannonji Castle Town.
Things are getting serious now. Kanonji Castle is a famous city in the country. The samurai ashigaru of the Oda family treat a culturally famous city so rudely, which is comparable to the Miyoshi family who ravaged Kyoto. As expected, there are some strange things happening in Kinai.
Irony and sarcasm, it probably means that Ashikaga Yoshiaki escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den. In short, Oda Nobunaga and the three Miyoshi are the same.
Now Oda Nobunaga gave up. He said that after finally conquering Kinai, he would not leave just for a casual visit. With the territory of Minami Omi as a support, he could take root and stay there. Therefore, he could not tolerate being accompanied by samurai.
The Ashigaru are messing around in the Kinai. After all, moving to the Kinai must get the support of the indigenous people. If no local people want to live in the area, life will be difficult.
So Oda Nobunaga immediately issued a strict order, called "One coin of beheading order", which is also derived from a famous allusion of the Northern Song Dynasty, "one coin of officials beheaded", the so-called subordinate officials can steal a coin a day. A thousand days a thousand days
Money, ropes are broken by wood, and water drops penetrate stones. It is also very suitable for this moment. Soldiers are strictly prohibited from launching hunting and arresting at will without ordering permission to arrest indiscriminately. They are not allowed to rape and plunder women. Anyone who violates this will be executed.
No forgiveness.
Not only must we strictly prohibit arbitrary arrests and human hunting, but we must also actively return the stolen money to release the captured townspeople, and at the same time actively compensate women who have suffered physical and mental trauma. In short, we must use various means to actively restore the precarious reputation in the Kinai and correct their mistakes.
The reformed actions had a certain effect, and people soon discovered that although Oda Nobunaga was domineering and ruthless, his credibility with the lower class people was still very good.
On the second day after capturing Kannonji Castle, the Oda army had just dealt with the bad effects caused by random arrests and human hunting. The Oda army launched a large-scale attack on Kyoto City by land and water. At this time, there were only more than 3,000 defenders in Kyoto City.
As for Shogun Kurayama Castle, Nakao Castle was captured by Nakajo Tokihide of Sakamoto Castle, and Fushimiyama Castle was set on fire as revenge for the Miyoshi family's continuous resistance.
The two forces launched an intervention near Kyoto at the same time, which frightened Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. He thought it was a joint attack by the two allies. One Ashikaga Yoshitoki made Miyoshi Nagakei sleepless at night. Another Oriji
Tian Nobunaga probably means that he cannot continue to be the governor of the family.
In particular, the Oda army invaded Kyoto in a grand manner, chasing the three thousand defenders out of most of Kyoto, and chased them all the way to the Katsuragi River River, where they drove the Miyoshi army who was about to cross the river into the river. The three thousand troops successfully boarded the boat.
Only 500 people crossed the river. The remaining 2,500 people all went down to the river to feed the kappas.
At this time, the three Miyoshi people also rushed back from Yamato to help out. They found that the Oda army on the opposite side had swelled to 60,000 troops. They quickly turned around and fled towards Sakai Town. The angry Miyoshi Yoshitsugu cursed these three old bastards.
It was unreliable. Even now, he knew that he could not defeat Oda Nobunaga and Nakajo Tokihide. That evening, he was so cowardly that he retreated to Settsu Province and Shoryuji Temple without even fighting a battle.
The city fell into disrepair, and Oda Nobunaga once again took over Yamashiro Kingdom with almost no fighting.
At this time, Asai Nagamasa was not the only one in tears. Nakajo Tokihide, who was hiding on the front line of Sakamoto's remote control command, also began to feel sore, thinking about how hard their family's master Ashikaga Yoshito worked in order to conquer Kyoto and the Miyoshi family.
Two shocking battles were fought in a row, and it took a lot of efforts to stabilize the situation in Kyoto, and single-handedly promoted the resurgence of the shogunate's rule.
Later, in order to stabilize the foundation of the shogunate, Nakajo Tokihide led his army to fight the Rakuchu Battle in Kyoto. The little advantage he gained on the battlefield was ruined by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, further confusing Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ashikaga.
There were cracks in the close relationship between Yoshitoki and the riots in Kyoto during the Eiroku period, so there was no intention of sending troops to rescue them.
For Nakajo Tokihide, the city of Kyoto is really difficult to fight and defend. It is a very embarrassing and painful thing for the Miyoshi family. The success of Shangluo is directly related to the control of Kyoto, so Miyoshi Nagakei
They were so focused on competing with the city of Kyoto that it took tens of thousands of people to die in the past twenty years to capture Kyoto, and then they surrendered it to Oda Nobunaga a few years before it was even warm. The feeling in the Miyoshi family's heart is simply "wonderful"
Word".
Immediately afterwards, the Oda family marched all the way to sweep away the Settsu country as if they were possessed by gods and Buddhas. The only Settsu countryman who could be called a resister, Ikeda Katsumasa, held the castle for three days. In the end, he was defeated by the overwhelming military advantage of the Oda army.
After Kaicheng was surrendered, the Settsu people played their best trick of changing the king's flag on the city wall, abandoning the Miyoshi family and becoming a slave to the Oda family.
The Kinki soldiers that the Miyoshi trio are most proud of have almost disappeared. Miyoshi Masayasu, the leader of the Settsu clan, almost became a polished commander.
There are less than a thousand troops following, and the three of Miyoshi combined have less than 3,000 troops. A few months ago, they besieged the Nijo Imperial Palace, killed the general, and rampaged around Kyoto. They have transformed into this embarrassing appearance. They are almost reduced to
Kinai’s laughing stock.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi was a little better. The little remnant left by his adoptive father was half gone, and there were still 5,000 people willing to follow him back to Shikoku. So by a trick of fate, the two forces returned to Shikoku Island to survive. Unfortunately,
The person who was also shot while lying down was Hao Kangchang, the third eldest son of the Pudai family. He was busy trying to reassure a few young people in adolescence not to be impatient. When he looked up and found that his lair had been taken away, he was so angry that he almost wanted to strangle him to death.
Three good people and three people.
But it is helpless that he has become a mere commander. The few Mahuizhong and Xiangnzhong in his hands add up to less than 300 people. At most, they can compete with Sanhao Changyi who has the same treatment. In desperation, the old man
I decided to stay in the country of Awa and not care about worldly affairs. I can't fight or offend the country, so I can pretend not to see it, out of sight, out of mind, whatever you want.
There was a huge rout in the Miyoshi family, and the wind in Kinai was trembling. The two or three big cats and kittens of Izumi Province were not enough to scare them, so they turned away. Kawachi Kunyu Sashinjigao opened Wakae Castle without saying a word and surrendered, and Hatakeyama Takamasa also said something.
He captured Takaya Castle without saying a word, showing that he supports Ashikaga Yoshiaki's campaign to the upper reaches of the city. The implication is that you can't have any ideas about me in Nankawachi.
Matsunaga Hide of Yamato Kingdom surrendered very cleverly. Not only did he send his legitimate son Matsu Nagasaki to Kyoto as a hostage, but he also gave Oda Nobunaga the famous tea utensil ninety-nine rounds of eggplant as a gift. Later, Oda Nobunaga also reciprocated the favor and gave it to Yamato.
The ranking of the country means that he is given permission to secure the Yamato country. He can conquer this country as he pleases, and if he conquers it, it will all be counted as the Matsunaga family's.
In just one month, the storm in Owari set off a turbulent wave in the Kinei. Without any effort, the Miyoshi family abandoned their homes and businesses and fled in embarrassment, sweeping through Hanoi, Settsu, Yamato, and Izumi. People from all over the country were there.
All of them fell in the wind, like a snowball, constantly expanding and getting bigger and bigger, so big that his opponent felt despair.
Hatano Hideharu of Tanba surrendered, Kii Kunine came to the crowd and said it was meaningless, Tango Isshiki's family was not prepared to resist, and with the support of the Wakasa Takeda clan, Omi Asai clan, and Echizen Asakura clan, it seemed that the entire Kinnei area was on the offensive and defensive in the blink of an eye.
The change of position turned into a one-sided support for the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki. The only one who could be called an obstacle was Chujo Tokihide, who quickly retreated to Sakamoto Castle to garrison on standby.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not expect that things would develop so smoothly, and thought that the Kinai people would resolutely resist. Even if he was very confident and optimistic, he would still need to waste several months to conquer various places, especially the Miyoshi family, which was a difficult nut to crack.
They were the overlords of Kinnei back then, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki used their helpless behemoth to make him believe that the Miyoshi family would flee without a fight, which was probably as absurd as a fantasy.
Sometimes happiness comes so quickly. There is such a group of proud people in the world. They are the darlings of gods and Buddhas and always encounter good opportunities that are rare in a century. Every step they take seems to be favored by God. The people of Kinei country
With collective decline, the Rokkaku family experienced a glorious heyday and gradually declined and continued to disintegrate. The Miyoshi family was in a similar situation and was also constantly disintegrating. Hatakeyama Takamasa was beaten by Miyoshi Nagakei before his death, and he has not yet
With the energy back to normal, the rest of the Hatano clan is just a corner.
Returning to Kyoto after a few months was a different scene. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, surrounded by tens of thousands of tigers, came to the devastated Nijo Imperial Palace. The first order was given to rebuild the burned Nijo Imperial Palace complex. By the way,
Repair the burned temple nearby. After all, the imperial palace cannot be surrounded by a circle of dilapidated buildings. That would be too disgraceful.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is very happy. The situation is far better than he expected. Sweeping Kinai has further established that he is the true master of Genji, while Ashikaga Yoshiaki is just a clown. The world will eventually return to his control.
Among them, before that, he needed to teach Tokihide Chujo who was reaching out randomly in Sakamoto Castle.
In the temporary palace at Nijo Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiaki said: "I am determined to attack Sakamoto. I don't know what you think!"
"His Royal Highness Kakata has finally made up his mind. We should expel them as soon as possible. They are obviously Kanto samurai and they still want to occupy Kinai's territory. It is so unreasonable!" Asai Nagamasa was very excited and spoke eloquently about Sakamoto Rakuten.
The disadvantage of joining the Ashikaga family in Kanto is that nine out of ten turmoils in Kinai in the past twenty years were related to their family. Only by expelling this family can the peace of Kinai be ensured.
Asakura Yoshikage glanced at Oda Nobunaga and said: "I believe that if several armies march at the same time, Sakamoto can be taken down in one fell swoop. I believe Oda Kamisuke thinks the same way, right?"
"His Highness Kimikata intends to attack Sakamoto? This is not the right time." Oda Nobunaga pondered: "The top priority should be that His Highness Kokata becomes a general, and then we can discuss the decision to attack Sakamoto!"
