different warring states of japan

Chapter 187
Ashikaga Shogun Honjin Shogunate.

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Yusa Nobuyo who rushed over overnight with a livid face, saw her kowtowed and cried bitterly, and begged.

"I also ask Mr. Gongfang to be the master of my Youzuo family and my loyal mother."

The Yuzuo family followed the Hatakeyama family for nearly two hundred years, and they were considered well-known samurai families in the shogunate.Now that the family governor died in the army for no reason, Ashikaga Yoshiki was annoyed.

Speaking of it, Hatakeyama Takamasa is too incapable of being a human being.You Zuo Changjiao was loyal to her and made great contributions to the stabilization of Hanoi for the Hatakeyama family.

Not only did she not win her over with rewards, but she became jealous and despised by all the martial artists.

The foundation of the samurai society is to reward the public, and the Yuza family is dedicated to serving the public, so the Hatakeyama family should give a reward.

This is not a matter of strength ebb and flow, but a contract between the upper and lower martial arts.

Now that Yusa Changjiao is dead, her daughter came to the army to meet the general, and cried and complained that Hatakeyama Takamasa had assassinated Yusa Changjiao, which shocked Yoshiki Ashikaga so much that his expression changed.

The shogunate army fought in Hanoi, and the assistance of local samurai was very important.Not to mention other things, the number of farmers and soldiers who provide transportation and supplies alone is huge.

Miyoshi Changqing's invasion of Hanoi this time brought half of the Miyoshi family's invasion of nearly half of the army.

In order to counterbalance Ashikaga Yoshiki, the shogunate army also gathered the Yamashiro Shogunate, the South Omi Rokkaku family, the North Omi Asai family, and the Hanoi Hatakeyama family's coalition forces.

In this battle, Miyoshi Changqing's supplies were gathered at Sakai Port and transported by the merchant's logistics.The supplies of Ashikaga Yoshiki were concentrated in the mountain city, and they were transported by farmers and soldiers.

Among them, the Hanoi Hatakeyama family is a local samurai family, which provided a large number of farmers and soldiers to provide guarantee for logistics transportation.

If Hatakeyama Takamasa really assassinated Yusa Changjiao at this time, then Ashikaga Yoshiki can only say one thing, I am a fool!

The Yuzuo family has stabilized Hanoi for the Hatakeyama family over the years. From another perspective, it means they have mastered the real power in the country.

Now that the governor of the family died inexplicably, once he rebelled in anger and the logistics collapsed, the morale of the shogunate in Hanoi would be shaken.

Ashikaga Yoshiki asked with a sullen face.

"You said Hatakeyama Takamasa assassinated Yusa Chokyo, do you have evidence?"

Nobuyuki touched his tears and replied.

"I have brought my mother's body, and I dare to ask the general to have a look."

Ashikaga Yoshiki was also a samurai who went to battle to kill the enemy, so he was naturally not afraid of seeing the dead, so he asked Kazuki Hamoto to bring the corpse in.

"My lord, please look, my mother was shot to death by five iron cannons at close range, and the wounds were all on her back!
My mother went out of the camp to watch the enemy's formation, and she rode a fast horse, but she didn't go far.

Dare I ask the general, was my mother beaten to death by five iron cannon warriors from Miyoshi's family when the horse was galloping fast? "

Ashikaga Yoshiki only felt angry, Hatakeyama Takamasa, you bastard!

How dare you take advantage of the chaos to assassinate You Zuo Changjiao!Is it true that I, Ashikaga Yoshiki, dare not kill you because of my noble blood?
"Where is your mother's side banner?"

"All of them were captured by me. They have already confessed, and they were bought by Hatakeyama Takamasa a few years ago to lurk beside my mother as spies.

In this recent war, they were ordered to take advantage of the chaos to kill my mother. . "

As he spoke, Yu Zuoxinjiao choked up in his throat and couldn't help crying.

"This is their confession, please read it carefully."

Ashikaga Yoshiki took the confession and asked questions while watching.

"What about them?"

"It has been decapitated by me, and the body is thrown in the wilderness to feed the dogs."

"Good job! A betrayer, that's what it should be!"

Ashikaga Yoshiki walked around a few steps and said.

"You go down first, don't startle the snake, I have my own opinion."

"Thank you, Mr. Gongfang."

You Zuo Xinjiao kowtowed in gratitude, and then walked out, holding back until he was in his own army, before he couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of a smile.

Since ancient times, there has always been a need for a reason to cause chaos. After all, the Yuzuo family has followed the Hatakeyama family for nearly two hundred years.

If there is not a sufficient reason, betraying the main family will be despised by all warriors.

Working under the Hatakeyama family for many years is the capital of the Yuza family's strength, and it is also the shackles of breaking away from the master's family.

Hatakeyama Gaozheng has no morals, and Yusa Chokyo wiped her butt helplessly. Is it just because of stupid loyalty?
No, it's because Yusa's family stayed with him for too long and got too entangled with Hatakeyama's family.

Not to mention other things, the position of the guardian of Hanoi, the family status of the shogunate samurai, which has nothing to do with the Hatakeyama family.

The Yusa family who left the Hatakeyama family is a tree without roots, an orphan of the samurai family who has no one to rely on.

This is the truth of You Zuo Changjiao's loyalty.

The Yuzuo family has taken too many benefits from the Hatakeyama family, and if they want to grasp these benefits, they have to continue to be loyal.It's a contract, it's a deal.

But her daughter Youzuo Xinjiao has another view.

Externally, the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate is becoming more and more obvious. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the shogunate will collapse sooner or later.

The troubled times have come, the most important thing is to jump off the doomed ship of the shogunate, and take some more things before jumping off the ship, so that they can be used to stabilize the position when boarding the new ship.

Today, only Hanoi is left in the Hatakeyama family, and the real power in the country is controlled by the Yuzuo family and the Anjian family respectively.You Zuo's family is confident that they can control the Hanoi Banguo, and they are up for grabs.

Internally, Yuzuo Changjiao used his own strength to suppress the country and help the Hatakeyama family to rule, which has hurt the fundamental interests of the Yuzuo family's retainers.

If you can't break away from Hatakeyama's house in time to stop losses, then today's Hatakeyama's house will be tomorrow's Yusa's house.

It is a sign that the retainers under his command crossed the line to express dissatisfaction with the young master.

You Zuo Xinjiao had to make a choice, either to abandon the stubborn old mother, or to suppress the family members of You Zuo's family and force them to accept the reality that their interests were damaged.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is inside the shogunate.

After You Zuoxin left, a person appeared behind the scenes, knelt down and saluted.

Ashikaga Yoshiki asked, frowning.

"What the hell is going on?"

That person raised his head, and it was Daimufu Liusheng Zongyan.

The main force in this battle is the coalition forces of each family. Yoshiki Ashikaga needs to know the movements of each family, and he cannot be blind and deaf.

Then Daimetsu, who monitors the daimyo of the Ashikaga family, will naturally send out an investigation.

Yagyuzong replied solemnly and respectfully.

"Master You Zuo left the camp to observe the formation, and he brought five members of You Zuo's family with him to approach the banner, and the six of them hurried out of the camp without going far, and waited and watched from a nearby hill.

Then there was the roar of iron cannons, and Banner of You Zuo Changjiao brought back her body. "

Ashikaga Yoshiki said dissatisfied.

"That's all? Nothing else?"

Yagyu Zongyan was also helpless.

The power of the shogunate is not as good as before, and even the big names that made the big names tremble at the beginning have also declined.

Now Ometsu, headed by her, is no longer able to monitor the inside story of each family. What they do is similar to that of ninjas, and some people may not be able to do it well.

After all, the profession is not the right one. The secret police are not intelligence personnel. There is still a difference between hunting down traitors and gathering intelligence.

But at this time the general asked, of course, you can't just ask three questions.Otherwise, her position will not be guaranteed, and some people will be watching her position from behind.

She needs to show her ability, not just her swordsmanship.

"Afterwards, a strange thing happened, You Zuo Xinjiao came to You Zuo's army, and the five bannermen died.

Although You Zuo Xinjiao claimed that they were bought and died at the head of the owl.

But another secret news came that the five people had wounds on their abdomens. .harakiri. "

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her sharply, his eyes fixed.

"Then it's not Xiaoshou, it's a fault?"

"The general is wise."

There is a big difference between Xiaoshou and Jiecuo.

The head of the Wu family's lord is a cruel way of killing, for the purpose of deterring the enemy, and Jiecuo is a supplementary knife for self-harm.

To put it simply, seppuku is a ritual of putting a knife on the stomach, which is extremely painful.

At this time, it is necessary to find a person with sharp sword skills to intervene for the seppuku, called Jiecuo Ren.

The reason for the wrongdoing was to reduce the pain of the seppuku victim, and she was beheaded quickly after the seppuku, so as to save her suffering.

If those five flags really died of seppuku, You Zuo Xinjiao is deceiving the emperor!
Seppuku is a ritual of the Hime warriors, used to die with dignity and to bear responsibility with dignity.

If those banners were originally self-harm, it means that they did the right thing in the wrong way.

In other words, they did nothing wrong in killing Yusa Nagao, they are not the secret sons of Hatakeyama Takamasa!You Zuo's family wants to rebel!

Ashikaga Yoshiki's expression changed drastically.
