Pillars of the Wu family

Two days later, on a quiet morning, a uniform team of warriors ushered in Hachimangahara. The influence of the drought demon made the originally abundant river become extraordinarily shallow. Several large flags were erected while crossing the river. Among them, the most conspicuous It belongs to Ashikaga and two flags.

Under the guidance of [-] Shinano people, this army of tens of thousands crossed the Rhino River, which had been drought for several days, and appeared on Hachimangahara through the faint mist in the morning. In the meantime, Kira's army had arrived at Shinoi, where the first Kawanakajima battle took place.

The unconventional sudden landing operation is intended to force the Takeda Army to make a full-scale decisive battle, and crush the main force of the Takeda Army with a strong military advantage. It can take advantage of the trend to expel the Takeda Army and retreat to Zhongxinano, so as to achieve the initial strategic goal of capturing the stable front of Beixinano.

He knows very well that such cunning daimyos usually avoid launching the main decisive battle to determine the winner of the war. This is Kawanaka Island, not Kyoto, and there is no reason to go to Luo. When encountering danger, the daimyos usually turn around and run away. This greatly reduces the possibility of annihilation battle.

The seemingly reckless and thoughtless landing force was just beyond the expectations of Takeda Harunobu and his retainers. Sanada Kotaka's disastrous defeat and the subsequent bad news caused extreme anxiety in Takeda's army. The ashigaru generals such as Hara Huyin and Tada Manyori who fought in the joint battle also found that the atmosphere was not right.

Especially at the second watch of the previous night, news from the rear was received that Kakizaki Kei's family and Murakami Yoshikiyo joined hands to attack Shiozaki Castle.The nearby Yashiro Castle's attempt to reinforce was completely defeated by the cavalry of Kakizaki Kei's family.

Once the two strong cities in the south of Chuanzhong Island were captured.The retreat route of the Takeda army was completely cut off.This situation also forced Takeda Harunobu to go out in order to defeat the Kira Army's plan head-on. The news was obviously delayed on purpose. When the news was received, the Takeda Army had lost the possibility of sending reinforcements immediately.

After spending a night of jealousy and restlessness, the Takeda family samurai woke up again and found that he had lost his last chance to retreat. The huge Kira Army had already appeared on Hachimangahara. They always subconsciously think that it is the shogunate army that is hostile.

The rumbling drums of war sounded in the west of Hachimangahara.Ashikaga Nibiri and Long-tailed Kuyoba fluttered in the wind all over the mountains and plains. The various colorful flags on the two wings came from the people of Shinano. Among them, the red and black troops sitting in the main formation are the most conspicuous. Prepare cavalry.

A few days ago, the defeat of the Sanada Army with almost no injuries left a deep impression on the Takeda family. Facing the blocking Kira Army, the Takeda Army reacted very calmly. A line of reserve troops had already set up their formation, and they were not blocked in the slightest in terms of momentum. consciousness.

"Golden four-cut water chestnut on a red background, the Suwa French flag, and the blue Fenglin volcano flag. Only there is no family crest flag with a Genji white flag as the base. Your Takeda family is worthy of being the most special one of my Genji sect! " Kira Yoshitoshi sneered.He was quite indifferent to the Sengoku military general who often wore a large red armor and a Suwa Pouch on his head.

Tokyuki Yamamoto didn't understand the meaning of his words, nodded and said: "Yes! Dr. Takeda Ozen is a maverick samurai family. The Takeda family's progress step by step is inseparable from the hard work of the two generations of Takeda. To my Kira's house, I can only say that it is unfortunate!"

Seeing a large group of warriors in red armor gathered in the Takeda camp, Yoshihiro Kira smiled and said, "The Takeda family also has red cavalry? No, it should be called red warriors! Get on the horse and get off the horse to fight haha! Really nice to see Follow me! Keijiro, Sakon! Follow me to the front of the battle!"

"My lord, don't do it!"

"Why not? Could it be that the master still doesn't trust my family's skills? My spear skills are only slightly better than those of Keiji and Zuo Jin, so there is absolutely no problem in self-defense!" Ji Liangyi was fourteen years old at the time, and his height also reached 1.6 meters. In terms of spear skills, he is better than most warriors who wield spears, but he is still very confident in his skills.

Without waiting for the refusal, he galloped out of the formation, came to the front of the formation and shouted: "Takeda Harunobu come out and answer!"

"Who is that?" There was a commotion in the Takeda army, and soon saw the four flags moving, and hundreds of knights in red armor moved to the front of the formation. A samurai wearing a Kamakura-style purple girdle stands in front of the formation.

"Answer before the battle? What exactly is he going to do?" Takeda Harunobu squinted at the flag seal, slowly stood up and straddled his horse. That man is cheating!"

"He is not afraid, what is my family afraid of? Is it rumored that my family is afraid of a half-grown child?" Faced with Takeda Harunobu's questioning, Takeda's retainers dare not answer, and it is worth following Takeda Harunobu closely.

I saw a general in red armor slowly descending the slope, but after a while the array in front parted and reached a crack. Hundreds of warriors surrounded him and stopped in front of the array. The distance between the two sides was more than a hundred meters. It was inconvenient, but no one dared to take a step forward.

Yoshitomo Kira looked around and asked, "Who has the loudest voice?"

"Of course it's me!" Nagasaka Shinmasa raised his head proudly, and several companions around him laughed in a low voice, "There are no other advantages except fighting and being loud!"

"It turned out to be Xueqiang Jiulang! Take the proclamation written by my family and read it to him aloud! You can go to the front!"

Nagasaka Nobumasa took over Xie Wen, and assured him with full confidence: "Please rest assured, Master Master! I, Kuro, will definitely do a good job!"

Fan Fu Huchang wondered: "Then what the hell is the Kira family doing? Tell the master to go to the front of the battle and lie, but he can't come, what are you procrastinating for?"

"Maybe it's a delaying scheme? Didn't Kurihara Zaemon suffer from a siege? It must be so." Murozu Torto snorted softly.

"It's really cunning...Hey, someone is coming from the opposite side! It doesn't seem to be the general on the opposite side!" Yuan Hayato Zuo Changyin reminded, and everyone focused their attention on the red armored warrior opposite.

I saw that he didn't wear a spear with a tadpole on his waist and hips, and he only advanced twenty steps before stopping.Waving his hand, he took out a piece of paper and coughed lightly: "Today the world is in decline, laws and laws are collapsing. There are many evil spirits and troubles in the Warring States Period. There are often people who disrespect the shogunate and take pride in their subjugation and betrayal. They don't know their dignity and refuse to listen to orders. This is the rebellion of the samurai family. !

Today there is Harunobu Takeda, a descendant of Genji in Hanoi, the ancestor of Genji in Hanoi, Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, who didn't know his loyalty and brotherhood, killed the pillar of Genji, and trapped his brother, and caused trouble for the Genji. Take advantage of the achievements of Ping's pillars to stand on both feet.Fang You Baoyuan and Heizhi's rebellion made my Genji almost perish, and the Heira's great prosperity wiped out many descendants of my Genji clan, this is a great crime..."

The warriors of the Takeda family trembled when they heard the words. Takeda Harunobu collapsed while riding his beloved mount Heiyun with a lively expression of talking and laughing, and then the more he heard it, the more ugly his face became, his body swayed suddenly and almost fell off the mount.

"... Minamoto Yoshimitsu committed four major crimes. First, Minamoto Yoshimitsu competed with his nephew, Genyoshikuni, for the Tolu Kingdom, and accused Minamoto Yoshimitsu of his ignorance of loyalty and filial piety, causing him to lose his position as the pillar of the Genshi family. This is unjust. !Second. Assassinating the four generations of pillars of Yuan Yizhong, this is disloyalty!

Third.It is inhumane and unfilial to frame his elder brother Yoshizuna Minamoto and cause his family to perish!Fourth, Yoshizuna Minamoto, his own plan to flee to Kai still does not think about repentance, and he always thinks of capturing the pillars of Genji, this is shameless!Disloyalty, disrespect, benevolence, and unrighteousness, the source of the four ancient evils alone is the third, which almost wiped out my Gen clan..."

"...Now, Shinano has repeatedly committed crimes against the people of the country, disobeyed the order of the shogunate to massacre wantonly, and fabricated the illusion of Shinano singing and dancing, which is a heinous crime! What's more, your ancestor Takeda Nobuyoshi dared to compete with Minamoto Yoshio for the pillar of the samurai family, you Kai Genji's lineage has always been rebellious, and today he is competing with my Kami-Ashika clan for Shinano, is it to challenge the authority of my shogunate?"

Yoshishi Kira sneered and said, "Why is the descendant of the Genji of Hanoi the Ashikaga family? Why didn't you choose Takeda? Are the heroes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties blind? Because only the Ashikaga family is qualified to inherit the descendant of the Genji of Hanoi, and only the Ashikaga family can." Be the pillar of Hanoi Genji's family!"

The origin of Qinghe Genji's family line comes from Prince Zhenchun, the sixth son of Emperor Qinghe, and then passed on to Yuanjingji, who is known as the sixth grandson king, also known as King Jingji. Minamoto’s first generation, Genji Yoshinobu, the second generation of Genji, without mentioning it, the third generation of Minamoto Yoshitaka, the fifth generation of Minamoto Yoshinori, the sixth generation of Minamoto Yoshitomo, and the seventh generation of Minamoto Yoshitomo is Hanoi Genji The inheritance of the Dongliang family.

It can be seen from Tongzi that the inheritance from the fourth generation to the fifth generation is not inherited from the legitimate son, and the inheritance from the sixth to the seventh generation is not inherited from the legitimate son. The pillars of these two generations are not passed down with the word "righteousness", and the severance of the legitimate son has become the main dispute. The reason, as for why the heir was cut off, has a deep relationship with Minamoto Yoshimitsu, the ancestor of the Takeda family.

This involves a case involving Genji in Hanoi. At the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties more than 200 years ago, when the imperial family joined forces to overthrow the Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikaga and Nitta clan competed for the Genji family. At the beginning, only two could compete for the Genji family. Because the Ashikaga family had the opportunity to become the descendant of Genji.

Just because Minamoto Yoshimitsu gave up the very likely pillar of Genji for his own selfish ambitions, the Ashikaga family has always hated the Takeda family for making trouble.

Although Hanoi Genji originated in the Heian era, the real rise is the credit of the three-generation pillar Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshio. The battle of the first nine years and the second three years forged the Hanoi Genji's samurai foundation in Kanto, which was passed down to the Hanoi Genji's seventh-generation pillar. The establishment of the Kamakura shogunate shocked the world, but the Hojo clan, a foreign relative, took power, and the Hanoi Genji lineage died three times, which cut off the Hanoi Genji lineage.

With the extinction of the Hanoi Genji lineage, new problems emerged. Minamoto Yoritomo killed all the relatives and killed them all. Those who did not die were taken over by Masako Hojo and continued to kill them. They are eligible to inherit the Genji pillar. All the disciples were extinct. Since the Chengjiu Rebellion, Hanoi Genji had a strong internal disciple, and fierce competition for this vacant position began.

Since it is a struggle, there must be a result. Going back to the past, the brothers of the seven-generation Pillar Yuan Laichao all died in the Heizhi Rebellion and the subsequent pursuit of the Ping clan. Minamoto Yoshihiro was ordered to be beheaded by Taira Kiyomori, and only a few small ones such as Minamoto Yoshitsune and Minamoto Yoshitsune were left alive. They were killed by Minamoto Yoshitsune in the place where the Kamakura Shogunate was established, and the big cats left behind Kitten has no reputation either.

Going back further, during the Baoyuan Rebellion, the pillar of the sixth generation, Yuan Yichao, killed his father, killed his younger brothers and wiped out his father and brothers.The offshoots of the sixth generation were either extinct or almost extinct after being killed by Minamoto Laichao.There is no ability to compete for the pillars of Genji.Those who were alive did not survive the Pingzhi chaos, either exterminating the clan or declining.

The pillar of the Five Dynasties, Yuan Yi, was not inherited by his son, and his brothers had quarrels because of inheriting the pillars of the Gen family in the early years. The relationship was very poor, and they were suppressed successively. Killed in the chaos, there is no relative to inherit.

Yoshitada Yoshitada, the fourth-generation pillar, is the uncle of Yoshimitsu Yuan. The position of the pillar of the fourth generation has caused a big disturbance in Nuo, and it will involve the famous Takeda family patriarch Silla Saburo Genyoshimitsu.In other words, he was the reason for Genji's rebellion. At the beginning, the pillars of the three generations of Genji in Hanoi were the powerful family of Taro Hachimantaro, who shocked the world.

Minamoto Yoshimune's eldest son, Minamoto Yoshimune, died prematurely, leaving the post of pillar vacant. Originally, he planned to hand it over to his second son, Ezuma Shouyuan, but Minamoto Yoshimune killed innocent people indiscriminately in Kyushu. The imperial court became the big villain, and his leftover son was the later Yuan Weiyi.

The successive deaths of the eldest son and the second son hit the Minamoto family hard, so they decided to let the third son, Yuanyiguo, be the pillar of the Genshi family. But at this time, bad news came from the Changlu country, and Yoshimitsu Minamoto sued his nephew. .The reason is that Yuan Yiguo competed with his uncle Yuan Yiguang for the territory in Hitachi, but was jointly attacked by his uncle and cousin.In the end, he was told by his uncle Minamoto Yoshimitsu in front of Minamoto Yoshimitsu's family.

Yuanyi's family naturally knew that Yuanyiguo was innocent. Changlu country was originally the territory allocated by Yuanyi's family to his son, but this violated Yuanyiguang's rights and interests, because Yuanyiguang had been rooted here for 20 years and developed. , but Yuan Yiguang has already sued, and as an elder brother, he can't favor his son, so he can only reluctantly abolish Yuan Yiguo's inheritance rights.

The fourth son, Minamoto Yoshitada, finally inherited the pillar of the Minamoto Yoshimitsu from the Minamoto family. At this time, the Minamoto family had died of illness, and Minamoto Yoshitada was assassinated by his uncle Minamoto Yoshimitsu a few days before he was happy. The crime of assassination was blamed on his elder brother, Minamoto Yoshizuna, the second younger brother of the Minamoto family.

Because this Minamoto Yoshitsuna is the second younger brother of the Minamoto family, he is called Ka Mojiro, and Minamoto Yoshimitsu is only the third child called Silla Saburo. Minamoto Yoshimitsu feels that the older nephews are either dead or deposed, and he is the only one. The elder brother Kamojiro Minamoto Yoshizuna is a scourge, so he has evil intentions to frame him.

Minamoto Yoshitada was only 27 years old when he died. The sudden assassination of Genji Dongliang immediately caused a commotion. Minamoto Yoshimitsu thought that I should be Genji Zhuangliang, but after a discussion with the Minamoto family, he still let the villain's son Genji To inherit for righteousness, the reason is that Yoshimitsu Yuan had the right to inherit originally, which made Yoshimitsu Yuan very disappointed.

Minamoto, who inherited the pillars of the Five Dynasties, actually became the adopted son of the assassinated Minamoto Yoshitada. The first thing he did when he came to power was to hunt down and kill his uncle Minamoto Tsuna. Minamoto Yoshitada was assassinated and framed in 1109. Tsuna was immediately exiled to Sado Island. His eldest son Yoshihiro and second son Yoshitoshi couldn't understand why he was innocently subjected to such severe punishment, and immediately committed suicide by jumping off the cliff hand in hand.

The third son, Yoshiaki, was chased to death because he was involved in the assassination incident. The fourth son, Yoshinaka, threw himself into the fire cave and committed suicide by burning himself. The innocent Minamoto Yoshizuna was killed and nearly extinct.

Minamoto Tsuna didn't fare well either. In the past 1132, Minamoto Yoshitsune came to settle the ledger again. At that time, Genyoshitsuna, who was over [-] years old, had to commit suicide by caesarean section. But he was able to die, and died in Mijing Temple in his Yuanfu.

However, the benefit of his descendants' decline, Yuan Yiguang's crime of assassinating Yuan Yizhong was finally discovered. The heads of several sons were cut off, and some of them hid in Hitachi and Jiafei's mountain dens and did not dare to risk their lives. Another was chased to North Korea for refuge, and later moved to the Central Plains due to the chaos, and changed his surname to Zhang. has been passed down to modern times.

Afterwards, Hanoi Genji Dongliang's family was transferred to Yuanweiyi's family until the Kamakura shogunate was extinct for three generations. Many families of Hanoi Genji competed for Genji Zhuangliang. No one below Yuanweiyi could inherit the five generations of pillars. Then only from the fourth generation Looking back, there are only a few who are qualified to inherit the pillars of the Genji family, regardless of their family status or martial arts.

Let's look at the four sons of the three-generation pillar of Yuan Yizong's family: the eldest son Yuan Yizong died early.The second son, Yuan Yiqin, had his head cut off, and his youngest son, Yuan Weiyi, inherited the pillars of the five generations. His lineage was the descendant of Hanoi Genji, and passed down to the generation of Yuan Laichao's grandson.

Who is the third son, Yuan Yiguo?right!He is the founder of the Ashikaga and Nitta clans. At the beginning, he was the one who strongly supported Yuan Weiyi to be the pillar of the Five Dynasties. As a result, as soon as Yuan Weiyi came to power, he had a very stiff fight with him, the third uncle, and finally Yuan Yiguo returned to Shimono in a fit of anger. The countryside of Ashikaga Village closed the door to train his precious son, and changed the name of Miao to his son Ashikaga, and there was the Ashikaga clan.

The fourth son, Yoshitada Minamoto, was the unlucky fourth-generation pillar who died too early, and the eldest son Hanoi Yiguo was only a few years old. Even though the Minamoto clan thought he should be a pillar, no one dared to bet his worth and fate on a small On the little toddler, the country of Hanoi later engaged in hunting and killing again, and never thought of competing for the pillar of Genji.

When Minamoto Yoshio's lineage is extinct and Genji's disciples see who can be the pillar of Minamoto, there will only be Minamoto Yoshikuni's lineage, because Minamoto Yoshikuni is the third son of the Minamoto Yoshiko family, and he previously competed with Minamoto Yoshimitsu for the position of the Hitachi Kingdom. The right of ownership was sued by Yuan Yiguang to his father, Yuan Yi's family, thus losing the inheritance right of Dongliang.

Minamoto Yoshimitsu ordered a samurai to assassinate his nephew Minamoto Yoshitada with the sword of Minamoto Yoshimitsu's son, and blamed his innocent second brother Minamoto Yoshimitsu, resulting in the famous Minamoto Yoshizuna unjust incident. This heinous Genji scum has done everything Everything is unreasonable. Yoshimitsu Minamoto's reputation is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, so Yoshimitsu Minamoto, who had previously competed with Yoshimitsu for the control of Hitachi, was also rehabilitated. The Ashikaga family inherited the foundation of the Genji pillar Also have it.

As for military exploits, Minamoto’s grandson Ashikaga Yoshiken immediately stood up to support Minamoto Yoshio’s rebellion against the Hera’s hegemony. After the Genpei war ended, Minamoto Yoshikashi also referred to him as Yumen Ye, and became the descendant of Minamoto Minamoto who defended Hanoi Under the background of Minamoto Yoritomo's wanton massacre of his own clan, he also became the most powerful member of Yumen Yezhong's family. With this endorsement, his orthodoxy can be guaranteed.

"In the last years of Kamakura, only Ashikaga and Nitta in Hanoi Genji competed for the pillars of Genji. The reason for this was that Minagiri had the right to inherit the pillars. From the beginning to the end, the pillars of Genji had nothing to do with your Silla Saburo! The evil history of murdering my Genji pillars is even worse. It is unreasonable, it is even more unreasonable for Takeda Nobuyoshi and Lai Chaogong to compete for the pillars of the Minamoto family, and now it is even more unreasonable for you to fight against our shogunate!" Kira Yoshihito smiled contemptuously, full of ruthless mockery at the Takeda family, he is familiar with the family history, he naturally knows the lineage of Silla Saburo What is the status of Genji in Hanoi. (To be continued..)

ps: The evil of Shilla Saburo Yuanyiguang is too numerous to describe.
