The knowledge and practice gained by the Iga people actually came from the territory they donated, so it seems that the change of hands of Yiyin is insignificant.
actually not.
The difference lies in the difference between Lingguo and Nomura.
The land owned by the people of the country is a village developed by oneself, and is not covered by the guardianship system. There are only obligations for military and food service, but few rights within the system.
And what Yiyin gave was the leader of the country, who had a certificate of security and was a regular martial artist recognized by the shogunate.
Regardless of status or family heirloom, they are recognized and protected in the Wu family society.
Although other Wu families can seize the land by force, with the security certificate, she will always occupy it illegally.
One day the forces will wax and wane, and there is no telling what the outcome will be.
It's not that it's impossible to conquer the top. The problem is that there is no sense of security.
The Ashikaga shogun's military power will decline. Who can guarantee that they will always be strong?
The benefit of the system is the sense of security.
As long as everyone abides by the rules and does things, even if they encounter injustice, at least there is a bottom line, which is better than the law of the jungle.
The foundation of social maintenance is stability, which gives people living in it a sense of security.
That's why the Iga people are excited. They have finally transformed from savages into regular warriors, and from now on they can behave openly and honestly.
This is also Shiba Yiyin's greatest wealth in his life. His background is so good.
Although the Shiba family has declined, the family's bloodline is the top existence in the guardian system. Now only Shiba Yoshigan is left.
I am the Spo family.
Sometimes it's pressure, sometimes it's an advantage, it just depends on how you operate it.
Yiyin raised his hand to signal that the entire audience was silent. He said to Nizi Katsuhisa.
"Make a list of the nuns and warriors you want to go north with us, and let the envoys pass the order.
Tsutsui Junkei doesn't need to pay attention to her, just leave her alone to see what she dares to do."
He turned back and spoke to the warrior princesses again.
"Clean the battlefield and gather the troops. If you encounter anyone who doesn't know what to do, let these nuns and warriors have a taste of our power."
"Hi!"
Nizi Katsuhisa added.
"In front of the emperor, the situation of the shogunate army is unfavorable. I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable."
Yoshigan thought about it. The composition of the shogunate army was more mixed than that of his Sputnik coalition.
The shogun's horseback troops, Yamashiro's shogunate army, the Rokkaku family's army, the Asai family's army, and the finished Kawachi Hatakeyama family's army.
Now that the war situation is unfavorable, there must be an undercurrent in the army. Could it be that the shogunate's army collapsed before I arrived?
Yiyin frowned.
"what to do?"
Nizi Shengjiu said.
"I want to write a military intelligence battle report for Gozen and send it to the shogunate army. Show off Gozen's military prowess, show the strength of our army, and encourage the general and other warriors to continue the fight."
Yiyin nodded.
"Can."
The border between Hanoi and Son Thanh.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru has retreated here for several days, building a defense line along the plain between the Yodogawa River and the Ikoma Mountains, and expanding his military presence.
Miyoshi Nagakei was also worried about the unreliability of Naomasa Yasumi in Iimori Mountain Castle who was guarding the key points of the Ikoma Mountains.
Abandoning the southern route and walking through the Ikoma Mountains, I chose to return to Settsu and walk along the north bank of the Yodo River, confronting Ashikaga Yoshiki on the other side.
Before Ashikaga Yoshiteru could take a breath, another piece of bad news came through.
"What! The Hatano family surrendered? Miyoshi Yoshiken defeated Tanba?"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru couldn't believe it. Tamba was mountainous, and the Hatano family had a fortified castle called Yakami Castle.
Miyoshi Yoshiken's military strength is less than 10% of the Miyoshi family's total military strength. The Hatano family will not lose even if they do nothing and defend.
The problem is that Harumichi, the governor of Hatano, did too much.
Hatano Uedichi was the heroic head of the Hatano family and built Yasukami Castle, but her daughter Hatano Haremichi was a mediocre and arrogant family governor.
Yagami Castle is close to the west of Tamba, so Miyoshi Yoshiken ignored the Hatano family and headed east, making a gesture of entering Yamashiro Country directly.
Hatano Harumichi seizes Miyoshi Yoshihide's logistical supplies behind his back many times and gains a lot.
As time went by, I became more greedy, and finally fell into the trap.
Of course, Miyoshi Yoshihide could not ignore the threats behind her and go directly to Beijing. Every time the military supplies were transported, she would leave the peasants and soldiers behind and replace them with elite military personnel to paralyze the Hatano family's spies.
After several attempts, when Hatano Harumichi was snatching logistical supplies, an ambush spread and she was captured alive.
The Hatano family lost their governor and the family was unstable, so they had to compromise and surrender. As a result, the Tamba Kingdom was conquered by the Miyoshi family???
Ashikaga Yoshiki was angry and even more frightened.
Once Yoshihide Miyoshi has coordinated everything in the Hatano family, they will march forward again.
Behind the shogunate army, there was nothing. Miyoshi Yoshihide, who came south from Tamba in the north, was either cutting off Ashikaga Yoshiteru's supply line or flanking the shogunate army.
This battle can no longer be fought.
Even when the news came, it was already falling apart.
When the shogunate army was discussing something, Ashikaga Yoshiteru bowed his head and said nothing, and there was a quarrel below.
Under the blow of bad news one after another, the compromising remarks of the Ise Sakyo faction among the ministers once again gained the upper hand.
Except for a few generals and direct ministers, who would suffer the same loss as Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the other shogunate samurai were unwilling to continue fighting this losing war.
The Izumi-Hosokawa family was trapped in Wada Castle, Kawachi, the retainers of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi rebelled, and now the Tanba Kingdom is reversed.
How can we still fight when half of the shogunate's allied comrades are dead?
Miyoshi Chokei did not want to destroy the Ashikaga Shogunate, he only wanted to control the leadership and the real power of the shogunate system.
Since you can't defeat him, it's better to lie low for a while and look for another chance.
Where there is life, there is hope.
There was a quarrel within the shogunate, and the attitude of the guest army became even more ambiguous.
The Asai family and the Rokkaku family had just gone through a fierce fight, and both sides suffered losses.
None of them dared to send out all their troops this time, leaving most of their troops to defend the other side at home.
During the shogunate meeting.
Nagamasa Asai, who was sitting in the hall, left Akao Kiyotsuna to guard Kitaomi, and brought Masa Isono to join the battle.
Sitting on the other side, Rokkaku Yoshiharu had just succeeded to the throne. Although his mother, Rokkaku Yoshiken, was forced to abdicate, she still held the real power of the Rokkaku family behind the scenes.
The mother was sitting at home, wary of the already unstable Goto Kentoyo, and the important minister Kenhide Kamano accompanied Rokkaku Yoshiharu to the shogunate army.
Isono Umasa looked at Kamao Kenhide with hatred in his eyes.
Her friend Momomouchi Zangsuke was killed by the iron cannons commanded by Kenhide Kamao in the battle of Noragada.
Most of the Asai retainers and Rokkaku retainers present had a grudge against each other. Some of them were fighting together with Noryada nearby, and countless others were far away.
The North and South Omi samurai families fought a hundred-year war, and the grievances and grudges can never be explained clearly in a few words.
Being able to barely sit together and fight for the general is already the limit.
Now that the shogunate is in chaos, they are watching with cold eyes, ready to leave at any time.
After Miyoshi Nagakei defeated Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he had already spent several years of accumulated supplies and was unable to conquer Omi again.
What they lost was nothing more than the goodwill of the defeated and weakened Ashikaga family. Compared to the loss of their own strength, it was insignificant.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked on with cold eyes, feeling desolate in her heart that the Ashikaga family had weakened to this extent in her hands.
Miyoshi Nagakei, whom she twice described as an enemy of the samurai family, was about to become a general in charge of the shogunate.
The Ise Sakyo has gained the upper hand in the dispute, the Asai family and the Rokkaku family have also begun to retreat, and the collapse of the shogunate army is just around the corner.
Perhaps, the next news will come, news that Miyoshi Yixian's army is heading south.
She, the thirteenth Ashikaga Shogun Yoshiteru, will become a puppet.
Just as he was thinking about it, an envoy walked quickly outside the shogunate, knelt down and kowtowed.
The atmosphere in the whole place suddenly became extremely tense. Perhaps the shogunate army collapsed at this moment.
Ashikaga Yoshiki pretended to be calm and asked.
"What happened again."
The messenger kowtowed and returned.
"Yamato Kuaima sent word that Yoshihiro, the legitimate son of the Shiba clan, had two victories in two battles. Yoshihiro was killed in the formation, and Yoshihei was killed in ten rivers."
Ashikaga Yoshiki stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy and dreamy.
