A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After leaving Kyoto, as the Imperial Household Letter instructing Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to serve as the acting governor of Sakai Town was published, the shogunate's Shinji no secrets were concealed, and the news spread quickly.

Three groups of people, Miyoshi, Matsunagahide and his son, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, have been testing each other and competing for Sakai's 20,000 kan for more than half a year. You have no intention to do anything else, just go and conquer the territory of several counties or even half of the country.

Guaranteed harvests due to droughts and floods can give you 20,000 guan of Yongle money? Are you dreaming?

At this time, controlling Sakai Town is the only goal of the three groups. Who has the mind to do anything else? Whoever lets go of Sakai Town is a fool, no, a top-notch fool.

While walking on the road, Koheita and Imagawa Yoshiuchi and their party heard that they had inherited almost all the military and economic heritage of Miyoshi Changqing. The most powerful Miyoshi trio had mobilized 5,000 people and headed for Yodo. On the one hand, he warned the shogunate in Kyoto not to point fingers, on the other hand, he threatened Sakai from afar.

The father and son of Matsunaga Hide, who controlled the Izumi half country and had geographical advantage, also exploded. Although Matsunagahide himself stayed in Yamato Shinkiyama to suppress the rebellion in Yamato country. However, Matsunagamichi led the Tawen Mountain people and began to move to the outskirts of Sakai.

When Miyoshi and three others occupied the sky, Matsunagahide and his son took advantage, but Miyoshi Yoshitsugu fell from the sky and a man fell from the sky. When the general's acting official announced his arrival at Wakae Castle, Miyoshi Yasunaga and Kanayama Suruga Mamoru were stunned.

The ability of these two people to govern Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was certainly not a guarantee. It was immediately obvious that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was testing Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. But they used to covet the town fee, but there was no way to get involved.

Now that the general has received a letter from the imperial family, they have immediately assumed the righteousness of the world and can accept the money.

For the poor and stingy Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, this is like a big cake falling from the sky. Even if the big cake is blocked by mountains of swords and fire, the two of them still have to persuade Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to give it a try. Nothing more than 20,000 Yongle coins is too attractive.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who suppressed the Hatakeyama clan's old party in Takaya Town and quelled the riots in the Kawauchi Kingdom, was quickly surrounded by people and returned to Wakae.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu mainly had 2,000 soldiers from his uncle Miyoshi Yasunaga, more than 1,000 soldiers from Miyoshi Masakatsu, 500 soldiers from Kanazawa Suruga, 1,000 people from Kinai country, and 1,500 soldiers from his own territory. Hundreds of people.

Six thousand people, to be honest, it is definitely not a big force in Kinei. During the great war between the East and the West in Onin, the guardians of more than 20 countries led an army of 200,000 to 300,000 and fought in Kyoto for more than ten years. There are only 30,000 to 50,000 people, and they don't even have the strength to establish a separatist regime in Ji Nei.

When Miyoshi Yoshitsugu heard that 20,000 guan fell from the sky, he immediately raised troops to go to Sakai Town to ask for the money. Miyoshi Yasunaga and Kanayama Suruga kept talking to each other before stopping him.

Six thousand of them were definitely not enough to see, so Miyoshi Yasunaga suggested Kanayama Suruga Mamoru to go to Shikoku himself. The cousins ​​and allies of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, such as the Danzhou Anzhai clan, the Sanzhou Juga clan, the Hashu Shinohara clan, and the Hashu Miyoshi clan, all have to go through it.

It would be best to bring all Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's cousins ​​over, so that we can gather at least 30,000 people. There are 30,000 people, not to mention Kinei walking sideways, at least no one dares to bully him.

Although Miyoshi Yoshitsugi is young and a bit impulsive and bellicose, he has a good side. He believes that Miyoshi Yasunaga and Kanayama Suruga Mamoru are sincerely good to him, so he listens to whatever these two people say. Once you accept this truth, go to death and don't care about anything else.

This made Miyoshi Yoshitsugu a rare united king and minister, which was not an easy thing in the Warring States Period.

Naturally, Koheita and his party didn't know about Miyoshi Yoshitsuguta's arrangement, so they rushed to Sakai quickly.

Sakai also felt a bit of the atmosphere of war at this moment, and the number of townsfolk guarding the bridge more than doubled. The number of small boats plying in the Mizubori, which serves as both a moat and a canal, has become much less frequent.

Sensing the impending war, the Kinai people believed in the safety of the "free city" Sakai, just like the later concession in Matsue, and those who had some money hid in Sakai Town with their families and children.

Although Sakai is just a town, there are thousands of iron cannons and the jimbats in various shops can easily reach 5,800. There were also wanderers from various places who were looking for a living, which made people anxious, and Sakai Town immediately sent out an army of 10,000 people.

Who doesn’t weigh it?

Koheita and Imakawa Yoshitsune had contacted Nawu in advance, and Boss Imai had already sent someone to wait at the machimon gate. Now that the group of people arrived safely, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the look of the user, it seems that he has seen some mobile phones on the market, and he actually laments the chaos of the situation.

"Reeducation through labor, how is the situation in Sakai recently?" Koheita asked Naya Teyo, who was leading the way, riding on his horse.

"Last night, 30 ships of all sizes were sailed to the sea outside Sakai by the prefect of Danzhou, Anzhai Settsu. A total of 300 large and small ships sailed to the sea outside Sakai. They were not doing anything. They were not collecting ship tag money temporarily, but they were just patrolling back and forth. The purpose was unknown. ” The hand proxy expressed concern.

"What do you think of Enshu-den?" "It should be Miyoshi Sanshu's move." Imagawa Yoshiuchi knew that it was the trick of Prince Kodaira, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu must have responded.

"It would be great if Kantarou was here. We could go and inquire." Koheita thought of Azaya Nozayasu in Ejiri. If he were here, he would definitely be able to talk to Azaya Nozayasu.

"Correction, since Miyoshi Sanshu can persuade Anzhai to set up Jin, then the Bozhou people and the Sanshou people may also land from Kishiwada."

"If this is the case, Miyoshi Sanzhou's military power will be great." Imagawa Yoshichichi is also a young man who can think about it.

"Yes, if the Miyoshi brothers get together, there may be another repairman." Koheita also feels that if the Miyoshi cousins ​​can really work together, maybe in time, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu can achieve Miyoshi Changkei's hegemony. .

"Apart from that, what else is going on around you?" Koheita continued to ask the hand.

"His Royal Highness Miyoshi Sanshu of Wakae sent a letter to all the bosses in the meeting, asking Sakai to immediately hand over the 20,000 kan town fee. Otherwise, he will personally send troops to collect it."

"The big boss went to the town hall early, but so far no result has been reached."

"It is said that Boss Tsuda and Master Takeno of Tennoya have sent people to the imperial court in Luo Jing to request the imperial court to mediate."

"In addition, Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, Namba Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and Kyoto Gozan Shokokuji Temple also sent a lot of manpower."

The mobile phone chattered a lot, telling a lot of news.

While Koheita lamented that there were so many protective umbrellas over the heads of merchants in Sakai Town, he also felt that his plan seemed to be too disturbing, and more and more people and forces were involved.

When things have reached this point, strategy is no longer the key. Maybe the three families will fight in advance.
