At Kanayama Castle in Ueno Province, the Genji elder, Shiba Yoshigan, officially recognized Yura Shige, a member of the Kawachi Genji family and a descendant of Nitta, and awarded him the honorary status of the United Front of the Kanto Palace.
From then on, in addition to choosing a side between the Uesugi and Hojo families, the Kanhachishu Fence, headed by Yura Narishige, had another choice.
That is to obtain the identity of the United Front, deeply participate in the coordination mechanism of the Wu family composed of the United Front, the local people, and the brotherhood, and supervise the public welfare and charity activities of the Wu Jiayi Promotion Association.
With the platform of the Wushu Association as the background, we got out of the dilemma of having to choose sides between the Uesugi and Hojo families, and became a prominent local family that was praised by people from all over Kanba Prefecture and focused on charity and public welfare.
Backed by the strong financial resources of the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road, Yi Bank used the charity and public welfare undertakings of the Samurai Warriors Association to pave the way, gradually controlling the public opinion of the Kwanpachi Samurai clan, and guiding the civil rights trend.
We will then make use of the hard work of powerful martial artists from Liangchengfan and other places, and with the help of the Wushu Association as a supervision platform, we can make the new SPOT idea of peaceful development deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At this point, Yiyin, on the one hand, the Wu Jiayi Promotion Association, and on the other hand, the Three-Party Wu Jia Coordination Mechanism, grasped with both hands, both hands must be hard, and fully penetrated the Guanbazhou area with overwhelming soft power.
At this time, the official operating rules of the Kanhachishu were the Kanto system headed by the Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshiji and the Kanto governor Uesugi Teruhora, but the samurai were unable to truly rule this land.
In the dark, the Samurai Giri Promotion Association and the tripartite samurai coordination mechanism are constantly changing folk thinking, replacing the Kanto system step by step, and spiritually trying to control the will of the local samurai.
Yiyin used money and food to create a rope for public welfare and charity in the eight states, and tightened the rope by controlling public opinion and expanding civil rights, until it completely tied up the famous names who had been responsible for the division of the eight states for a century.
―――
Just as Yiyin worked hard to develop soft power in Kanto, it was oriented towards public welfare and charity, promoted peaceful development, took care of the heirs of the Wu family, protected the Wu family's right to survival, and safeguarded the rights of the husband.
Just when he was gradually building the hypocritical benevolence, justice, propriety, trustworthiness and wisdom of the Wu family into practical civil rights and people's livelihood in Guandong, bridging the gap between the entire Wu family group and forming common interests.
In recent years, the innovative Oda forces have completely defeated the conservative shogunate forces. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was beaten to a pulp by Oda Nobunaga. He could only kowtow and call his mother, recognizing Oda Nobunaga as his royal mother.
With the fall of the old arch of the shogunate, powerful samurai from all over the country suddenly discovered that Oda Nobunaga, who had taken over the center, was not as observant as the traditional samurai, and was content with the vanity of being in charge of the shogunate.
Oda Nobunaga's ambition did not stagnate for a moment because the shogunate bowed its head and admitted defeat. Instead, it was like adding fuel to the fire, getting hotter and hotter. Her ambition to sweep the world was just beginning to accelerate.
But this time, without the shield of the shogunate center, all conservatives who were unwilling to change the status quo began to bear the impact of the Oda family's innovative power and felt obvious pressure.
―――
Kyoto, Shiba Residence, Tea Room.
Akechi Mitsuhide once again received Hosokawa Fujitaka, who came to negotiate. The two of them were still seated separately, and the last meeting seemed like yesterday.
Unfortunately, time has only passed by a few months, but the situation outside is already very different.
Mibuchi Tōhide's raid on Takatsuki Castle immediately aroused the vigilance of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Oda Nobunaga went to Kyoto, and the Mibuchi troops in control of Fushimi Castle fled without a fight, leaving Mibuchi Tōhide in a difficult situation.
As a samurai, Mibuchi Fujihide's greed for Takaki Castle was against the rules, but it was understood by everyone.
The shogunate has never lacked ambitious warriors, and the center of Kyoto is the stage where everyone competes with each other.
Mibuchi Fujihide's move was just one more piece of government affairs for everyone to argue about on the platform of the shogunate.
Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki breaks up with Mibuchi Fujihide because of this,
It is also difficult to get rid of Fujihide Mibuchi, who is backed by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.
However, it was difficult for Mibuchi Fujihide's troops to escape from Fushimi Castle without fighting.
Oda Nobunaga regarded himself as the leader of the shogunate, so when he first arrived, he naturally wanted to kill chickens to scare monkeys and frighten the samurai family of the shogunate. Mibuchi Fujihide was good at provocations, and the occupation of Takatsuki Castle was once again put on the agenda.
This time, Oda Nobunaga not only asked Mibuchi Fujihide to withdraw from Takaki Castle, but also imposed a heavy fine on her and deprived her of her duty as a substitute guardian of Kitakogenchi.
The Fushimi defenders fled without a fight, leaving Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Castle no time to react. The gate to Kyoto had already fallen into the hands of the Oda family.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was forced to bow his head and recognize his mother, hated Mibuchi Fujihide to death. She was both incompetent and unwilling to help Mibuchi Fujihide, which immediately put the Hosokawa Mibuchi family in crisis.
It was fine to withdraw from Takatsuki Castle. Hosokawa Fujitaka had never supported Mibuchi Fujihide's military adventure. It was only the greed and short-sightedness of the retainers that led to this dilemma.
Oda Nobunaga caught him for being provocative, and wanted to remove Mibuchi Fujihide from being the guardian of Kitakawachi. This was something the Hosokawa Mibuchi family could never accept.
Ever since Ishiba Yoshigan gave the land of Kitakawachi to the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and the two parties formed a new alliance of local powerful factions in the shogunate, the land of Kitakawachi has been regarded as forbidden by the Izumi-Hosokawa family.
The strength of the Mibuchi family cannot control the territory of Kitakawachi. Mibuchi Fujihide's real confidence in maintaining his rule is to rely on the retainers sent by the Izumi-Hosokawa family to assist in governance.
Once Mibuchi Fujihide's guardianship of Kitakawachi was deprived by the shogunate, Oda Nobunaga would definitely send someone to take over the land of Kitakawachi and make it his own.
The territory of the Izumi-Hosokawa family was reduced by half in an instant, which was devastating to the family business.
However, the Izumi-Hosokawa family was unable to confront Oda Nobunaga, so Hosokawa Fujitaka could only bite the bullet and come to Akechi Mitsuhide.
No matter how much she hated Mitsuhide Akechi, her family business was in crisis and she couldn't care about that much at the moment.
The tea man offered tea and said goodbye. Mitsuhide Akechi held the tea soup with a smile and seemed to be concentrating on tasting the tea. In fact, he was waiting for Hosokawa Fujitaka to ask for help.
To be honest, Akechi Mitsuhide did not expect Oda Nobunaga to move so quickly.
Before, she was worried that the rise of Mibuchi Fujihide would threaten Hosokawa Fujitaka's position in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and she even secretly prepared to help Hosokawa Fujitaka.
But Oda Nobunaga's quick attack on Luo knocked Mibuchi Fujihide back to his original shape, and the situation took a turn for the worse and became precarious.
At this time, it is no longer a question of helping Hosokawa Fujitaka suppress Mibuchi Fujihide, but a question of whether the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families can pass this level.
Hosokawa Fujitaka gritted his teeth and looked at the entranced Akechi Mitsuhide, feeling extremely helpless.
She let out a heavy breath and said sincerely.
"Akechi-hime, the Oda family is eyeing the land of Kitakawachi. This time, Her Majesty Oda is punishing Mibuchi Fujihide, but she actually wants to take the opportunity to bring the land of Kitakawachi under her control.
If the Oda family's conspiracy succeeds, a deep thorn will be embedded in the territory of our local powerful faction, which is very dangerous."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, but when it was time to get ready, Hosokawa Fujitaka was still playing tricks on her.
Our local powerful faction? When you Hosokawa Mibuchi and your family were causing trouble, why didn't you remember that you were a member of the local powerful faction? Isn't this too shameless?
The main body of the powerful local factions in the shogunate are the Shiba family who occupies Iga Province and Kitadato, the Mibuchi family who occupies North Kawachi, the Izumi-Hosokawa family who occupies Izumi Province, and the Yamaclan family who occupies Minamikawachi.
Among them, the land of North Kawachi was given to the Mibuchi family because Yoshigage had no one in his hands at first and wanted to dominate the powerful shogunate faction, so he gave it to the Mibuchi family. In fact, it was given to the Izumi Hosokawa family behind Mibuchi.
There are 120,000 to 30,000 stones in Izumi Kingdom, and there are almost 100,000 stones in North Hanoi. The total mobilization force combined is much stronger than the 200,000 stones jointly commanded by the two hundred thousand stones.
Just because of their great strength, there would always be some problems within the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family, and people would constantly come out to challenge the Shiba family's leadership of the local powerful factions.
In addition to the good old man Mibuchi Haru, Hosokawa Motonsune, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Mibuchi Fujihide all had difficulties with the Shiba family one after another.
Although it is inevitable to be suspected of being ungrateful, from the perspective of the selfish political environment of the Wu family, these small actions are not particularly badass.
However, in the face of the cruel reality, every time the Hosokawa Mibuchi family's small ideas failed, and in the end they all returned to the leadership of Yoshihiro Shiba in despair.
In this chaotic world, the strength of the Izumi-Hosokawa family is not enough for them to stand up and be human beings. The choice of being a dog to others is really not as good as being an ally to the Shiba family.
This time, Mibuchi Fujihide's actions were actually no more bad than those of Hosokawa Motonsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka.
It's just that Akechi Mitsuhide got some information that Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know. At this time, she saw that Hosokawa Fujitaka was still racking his brains to prepare countermeasures for Mibuchi Fujihide, and she couldn't help but feel funny.
Akechi Mitsuhide asked.
"Futaka, the two elders, the Governor of the Hosokawa family and the Governor of the Mibuchi family, what do they think of the trouble caused by Mibuchi Fujihide this time?"
Akechi Mitsuhide answered the question incorrectly, which alerted Hosokawa Fujitaka. She glanced at the smiling Akechi Mitsuhide and did not dare to take this poisonous person lightly, so she considered it.
"The two mothers are getting old and have gradually let go of housework in recent years, and Mibuchi Fujihide and I have taken over.
Mibuchi Fujihide's behavior this time certainly disappointed them, and Mibuchi Fujihide's power will be restricted in the future.
Akechi-hime, you have to consider that Mibuchi Fujie is my sister after all. The relationship between Mibuchi's mother and Tsutado-don is extraordinary. I hope you can put aside the past grudges and give Mibuchi Fujie a hand.
The internal affairs of the local powerful faction should naturally be resolved by ourselves. If the land of North Kawauchi falls into the hands of the Oda family, the close leaders will be very passive, right?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka tried every means to bring the topic back, hoping to use the importance of the North Kawachi area to persuade the Shiba family to help.
To the north of Kitakawachi is Settsu Province, to the east is Kinzuki Kyoryo, to the west is the Izumi Province of the Hosokawa family, and to the south is the Minamikawachi Land of Yamatakamasa.
In the current situation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been defeated by Oda Nobunaga, and Settsu Country will be controlled by the Oda family sooner or later.
If the land of North Hanoi is lost again, a large piece of the connection between the local powerful factions will be taken away from the middle, and the connected O-shape will become a U-shape, and the strategic depth will be thin.
As Ise Province, Minami Omi, Yamashiro Province, and Settsu Province were successively occupied or infiltrated by the Oda family's forces, the northern and eastern parts of the country, which were jointly controlled by Kinzuki, became the Oda family's sphere of influence.
If Mibuchi Fujihide loses the land of Kitakawachi, the entire Jinzhi Kyoto would be surrounded by the Oda family on three sides, and would be very passive militarily.
Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to use this to persuade Akechi Mitsuhide to ask the Shiba family to come forward to help Mibuchi Fujihide.
But she didn't know that Mitsuhide Akechi wanted to connive with the Oda family, intending to drive away the wolf and let the Yoshigami of Shiba complete the strategic goal of collapsing the Ashikaga Shogunate while being innocent.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Shiba family to stand out and take the lead at this time. Even if the close leaders are forced into a military blind spot by the Oda family, the Shiba family will never fight back.
Akechi Mitsuhide's plot is far bigger than Hosokawa Fujitaka imagined, and he must be put to death before he can survive.
Looking at Hosokawa Fujitaka's eager eyes, Akechi Mitsuhide just smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked leisurely.
"It's getting late. Fujitaka is going to rest at the Hosokawa Residence in Kyoto when he returns later?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka narrowed her eyes and felt very angry that Akechi Mitsuhide avoided her words twice. However, the situation forced her to suppress her temper and speak.
"The two mothers are waiting for news about me at Shengryuji Castle. I will rush back later."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the sky and said.
"Although Shoryuji Castle is far from Kyoto, it will probably be dark when we ride back now.
Oda Kamuluo, the mountain city is in a state of chaos again, it’s not safe after dark, you’d better hit the road early.”
What Akechi Mitsuhide said was completely incomprehensible to Hosokawa Fujitaka. She stood up angrily and glared at Akechi Mitsuhide, who had been circling around.
Akechi Mitsuhide stood up and said.
"Don't be impatient. Go back first and ask the two family governors for their opinions on how they plan to deal with Mibuchi Fujiei.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Come, let me see you off."
When Fujitaka Hosokawa stood up, he was putting pressure on Mitsuhide Akechi. Who knew that Mitsuhide Akechi was so thick-skinned, he just saw him off.
At this point, Hosokawa Fujitaka's face darkened. In fact, she didn't want to leave. In fact, she wanted to stay.
But Akechi Mitsuhide brought it to this point, and Hosokawa Fujitaka could only speak forcefully.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and saluted, and watched the angry Hosokawa Fujitaka leave the courtyard.
When she turned around again, there were already two people standing behind her, one was Honda Masanobu and the other was Fujibayashi Muku.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Fujibayashi Mukuro, his mask-like elegant smile remained unchanged, but his eyes became as cold as ice.
"Are you all ready?"
Fujibayashi bowed deeply.
"Hi!"
Akechi Mitsuhide rubbed his temples with his delicate fingers and said calmly.
"You must protect Hosokawa Fujitaka. I want her to be unharmed."
Fujibayashi said solemnly.
"Don't worry, sir, our people have been monitoring the ambushers, and the security team in Beijing has complete control of the entire ambush scene.
From the moment Mr. Hosokawa Fujitaka left the house, he was already under the protection of the confidentiality team."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.
"You should go as well. If you don't set off, Fujitaka will go far away."
"Hi!"
After Teng Lin Ming bowed, he fled out like a bird into the forest, and disappeared from sight in a few seconds.
