A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Xiao Pingtai watched Anzhai Dongkang go away. At first, he still had the idea of ​​​​getting something from this water battle boss. However, after the real contact and exchange, I was deeply moved by this loyal and pure warrior. In the end, I did not say anything about asking for naval warfare tactics.

The others walked away and turned to the side where Anzai Toyasu came, looking at the Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Koshimizu Castle and Iimori Castle in Settsu in the distance. This represents Miyoshi Nagakei's illustrious martial arts over the years (wrestling the original title from Kizawa Nagamasa). city, and then make your own city). In metaphysics, Xiao Pingtai couldn't see things like the colorful imperial aura on the top of the city, or the five dragons forming clouds, or the overlapping flowers reflecting the colors.

Xiao Pingtai could not do anything other than lament that the strong and domineering power eventually fell like dust in the wind. Those who deserve to die must die, and those who perish must perish.

The Ouchi clan was the overlord of the world during the Ouchi Yoshihiro era decades ago, and was even powerful enough to directly promote the abolition of the shogun. During the Hosokawa Masamoto era, the Hosokawa clan spread its power throughout the Kinai kingdoms. They punched and led the Hatakeyama clan and kicked Eizan Enryakuji Temple. They even appeared to unify the world early on.

Looking now, both Ouchi Yoshinaga (Otomo Haruhide) and Hosokawa Harumoto have been attacked and killed. Ouchi Teruhiro will also be attacked and killed by the Mori clan later, and Sugi Shigeyoshi will also be attacked and killed, and Ouchi's direct lineage will be completely cut off. My father and ancestors have cut through thorns for generations and left behind such a huge foundation, all of which have become stepping stones for his family. (Although Ouchi's decline was mainly due to Tao Qingxian's rebellion, Hosokawa was due to Masamoto's preference for Shugendo and his refusal to marry a wife and have children, which led to the three adopted sons seizing the throne.)

Miyoshi just watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse. The big waves wash away the sand, and the sand will eventually be washed away. It is not yet known who will win in the end. But it is obvious that the Miyoshi family has withdrawn from the big chess game of fighting for the world ahead of time.

After entering Kyoto, Xiaopingta suddenly heard a heavy news. His Royal Highness, the twelfth generation general of the Muromachi Shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, who spent more time in exile than in Kyoto Imperial Palace, passed away. (He died a few years later, and he didn't appear in any scenes anyway. Let his death exert some residual heat and promote the plot.) Both the shogunate and the court were very close to Ai Rong, whose Buddhist name was Wansongyuan Yeshan Daozhao. The official position came from the three powerful ministers, Nayan, and the posthumous gift was scheduled to come from a left minister.

Although this general never had a happy day in his life, he spent half of his life in exile. All he relied on were some bastard heroes who wanted to grab his skin and fight for power. He couldn't even hold a serious general succession ceremony for his son. It is said that when he was at his poorest, he could only eat two porridges a day, but he died at the age of thirty-nine in frustration at restoring the authority of the shogunate.

But after all, Ashikaga Yoshiharu was appointed by official decree and recognized by powerful daimyo as the co-leader of the world. The Muromachi shogunate, the pillar of the samurai family, still did not fall. What's more, he also has a good son who is brave, brave and generous.

With the efforts of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the An Yun Mori clan, the Izumo Niko clan, the Bungo Otomo clan, the Satsuma Shimazu clan, the Utsunomiya clan (Iyo-ryu, distinguishing Bunzen and Shimono-ryu), the Echizen Asakura clan, and the Takeda clan soon Daimyo who are relatively nearby or have easy access to sea routes, such as the Minami Omi Rokkaku clan, the Kitahata clan (Ise stream), and the Owari Oda clan, have all sent huge tributes.

The Hatakeyama clan (Nihonmatsu-ryu), the Aizu Ashina clan, the Echigo-governed Uesugi clan, the Oshu Date clan, the Oshu Kasai clan, the Kitahata clan (Namioka-ryu), the Noto Hatakeyama clan, the Hitachi Oda clan and other famous families from the far country are also It's all halfway there.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's request to hold a grand funeral for his father Ashikaga Yoshiharu was strongly protested by the Kyoto Secretary Dai Matsunagahide appointed by the governor Miyoshi Nagakei. The Ashikaga Shogunate's growing power (reputation) in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiteru made him This one is extremely alert.

Originally, the Kyoto Secretary felt that many government affairs in Kyoto were difficult to effectively advance and were always subject to overt or covert resistance and confrontation. It is clear that because Kyoto is where the shogun is, His Highness the shogun still has some control over Kyoto. If you, the Kyoto chief, cannot cooperate well with the shogun, you will naturally be constrained everywhere in Kyoto.

But neither Matsunaga Hide nor Miyoshi Chokei behind him were willing to put down their stature to seek the general's support and understanding. It is not easy to rely on the powerful force in his hands to expect Luoyang to tremble under his feet, but this is not easy.

Therefore, it is impossible to reconcile the conflict between the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the leader Miyoshi Nagakei. In order to implement Miyoshi Nagakei's will, Matsunagahide must suppress Ashikaga Yoshiteru's momentum and go against the shogunate.

In a way, Ashikaga Yoshiteru does have certain trump cards. If he continues to hold grand funerals to demonstrate the authority and power of the shogunate, it will definitely be detrimental to the Miyoshi clan's rule in Kinai. As a result, Matsunagahide and the current Duke Ashikaga Yoshiteru were at odds with each other, both openly and secretly. Even after several rounds of mediation between the imperial ministers and the shogunate officials, they could not achieve a balance.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru has officially issued the royal teachings written by himself, and the envoys subordinate to the public are flying around, requesting the five mountains and five temples as well as the various sects and temples in the Kinai to immediately hold a forty-nine-day ceremony for the shogun's father. During the Dharma Ceremony for the Reincarnation and Salvation, tens of thousands of monks were required to pray for his father.

As a result, the huge sect power in Kinei was due to the general's royal teachings. (All the sect directors of the five mountains and five temples were appointed by the general. If they did not comply, they could be replaced immediately. This was the so-called right of the public to ban the sect leader. Of course, generally speaking, shoguns would not really kill or behead temples, except for Ashikaga Yoshitsune. In addition, Matsunaga Hide once burned down the Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple, which was also incompatible with the sect's power.) He immediately started organizing for Ashikaga Yoshiharu. A grand death ceremony.

Correspondingly, Matsunagahide has ordered 3,000 members of the Shinkiyama clan and 2,000 members of the Miyoshi clan's Kyoto garrison to strictly enforce martial law along the streets of the Imperial Palace and Imperial Palace. They ordered no one in Kyoto to hold funerals. Once discovered, they would be arrested immediately. The entire Kyoto is in turmoil at the moment. The shogunate clans Ise, Isshiki, Mibuchi, Ohkusa, Wada, and Niki have raised more than 2,000 troops to surround the imperial palace. Under the command of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, they want to fight with Matsunaga shows up to fight to the death.

When Xiaopingta heard the news, he was shocked and anxious, and hurried to Kinai's Yamauchi residence. As expected, there were only two or three guard servants left in the residence. All the remaining Yamauchi samurai ashigaru have rushed to the palace to rescue the general, and the situation has reached its most tense state at this moment.
