Pillars of the Wu family

For the people in Kina, this summer has been extremely long, and the stories that happened in just a few months are more beautiful than any monogatari. I don’t know how many ministers and cultural people have been inspired by it, and will write a song and tear in the future. Epic story, it is rumored that the ape musicians on the street are compiling their own stories, telling the story of the young famous general Kira Kami Sosaburo fighting bloody battles for the shogunate in Fukakusaya, and killing the enemy general Oni Juhe on a horse.

Yoshishi Kira couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the news at first, he was only ten years old, it's okay if you let him ride a horse, and he's going to kill that perverted man Shihe Yicun with a big gun on his shoulder?This difficulty is not much easier than letting him pluck the stars from the sky. He can't stop the people's yearning for legends. The real history is always very different from the legends. For example, Shihe Yicun became a heinous murderer. The evil ghost army or something that came here is completely out of touch with reality.

Coupled with the water battle that broke out on the Kamo River next to Kyoto, the legend of the god of thunder descending to punish Miyoshi's family is miraculous. The shrine intervened, and the temple could not let go of the opportunity. Toji also said that it was Bishamon Tianxia who punished the rebels who invaded Kyoto.

The public opinion in Kyoto suddenly became very joyful. Various gossips and legends were flying around, and the ministers tried their best to obtain first-hand real information by virtue of their connections. For example, Yamashina Gontsugu went to Sakamoto Castle to write his diary As a guest, like a reporter of your own, you must find out the real situation of the two battles. In short, because of the wars that broke out around Kyoto, they added fresh stories to the civilians in Kinai.

As the long summer has come to an end, due to a series of joint battles in Luozhong in the past few months, everyone has ignored the news from outside Kinki. It flew into Kinai as if it had grown wings.

Since the beginning of this year, after the Furukawa government recaptured the lost Furukawa Imperial Palace, Harusuke Kamita held the succession ceremony of the Kanto government for his nephew Ashikaga Hachimangu at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura. People from Kanto Hachiyagata and other countries were invited. The leader watched the ceremony, and according to the custom, Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine sent famous swords. After the book, Ashikaga Fujimasa also imitated Kyoto's Prince Ashikaga Yoshito, and wrote the oath of "Down with Hojo and revive Kamakura" with blood. At that time, the people of the Kanto Kingdom swore that they were willing to help the Kanto government to bring down Hojo Shiyasu.

When the Kanto people began to return to their respective territories to manage the newly occupied land, the Hojo family unexpectedly sent troops in the critical season of spring sowing. After half a year of hardship, the Hojo family began to make efforts in early March this year. First, it united Imagawa and Takeda Launched a counter-offensive to Kanto, Hojo Ujiyasu personally took command and led an army of 1 to launch an offensive in South Musashi.

In the field battle, he successfully defeated the Ota family's counterattack army and regained Edo Castle, which had been lost for half a year. At the same time, his allies Imagawa and Takeda were also invited to enter Kanto. Sagami and the two countries entered the Kanto, Takeda Harunobu led an army of [-] out of Hachioji and entered the Kanto, and the two armies successively attacked in Central Musashi and North Musashi, and captured several cities one after another. The Heyue night battle will be repeated again.

Faced with such an urgent situation, the people of the Kanto Kingdom decisively blew the conch of the assembly after the spring sowing, and huge torrents surged everywhere on the land of the eight Kanto countries. Mi, Satake, Oda, Chiba, Masatoya, etc. Minami Musashi, Shangso, Xiaso, and Hitachi once again formed a coalition army to start a tug-of-war against Edo Castle. His father Ashikaga Yoshiaki took revenge.

They went out on April 1rd and continued to fight dozens of times in a row until August. Although Hojo Ujiyasu had the strong support of Wushibei in the [-] army, the [-] troops who rushed into the Minami Musashi area still gave him There was a lot of pressure, especially when several mortal enemies of the Hojo family contributed a lot in the battle against Hojo. The two sides wrestled with each other and suffered casualties, but this large-scale confrontation and tug-of-war never came to fruition.

Kita Musashi Narita Choyasu sent an invitation to the Kanto leader Uesugi Kensei, and the Nishi Ueno people went to the Kanto again. This time the command was delegated by Nagao Kenkei, the head of the Shirai Nagao family. The actual command was handed over to Nagano Yezheng and Uesugi Xianzheng continued to be his polished commander.

The Higashi Ueno crowd also followed the Furukawa government under the leadership of Yura Chengshigeru. The former Uesugi family survivors such as Musashi native Masahiro Nada, Ueda Asuno, etc. were reborn by the Hojo clan. The people of the country also immediately kicked away the adopted son, and then swarmed up, and the people of the northern Musashi country swarmed, the younger brother of Narita Changtai, the lord of the city of Shinobi, and the Oda family of the lord of the west city of the Musashi country also swarmed.

Furukawa's side is close to the important minister Kido Harunori and his clan. Hanyu, who is in charge of the Uesugi family, and Kido Norin, the lord of Sarao Castle, began to attack Kita Musashi. His sons Kido Tadatomo and Hirota Naoshige joined the army. At the same time, Fan is also the son-in-law of Nagao Nagao, the head of the Ashikaga Nagao family. Sano, Yuki, Koyama, and other Shimono kingdoms of the Shimono country joined forces to attack Kita Musashi at the same time. The family also sent out troops to fight.

At the time when the Kanto government and the Kanto leaders were resolutely opposing Hojo, many samurai families who had conflicts and did not belong to each other also united with each other to attack the Hojo family. For a time, Musashi poured in an army of tens of thousands. The Kwantung Allied Forces can be encountered no matter where they are, which makes Takeda and Imagawa a headache.

Takeda Harunobu's 300 Koshu Army killed more than a thousand Kanto people in five consecutive battles. Although they achieved impressive results, they also aroused collective resistance from the local villages due to random arrests and bad hunting. They resisted Takeda The family's unrestrained Sanguang policy triggered a riot, and then was surrounded by the Kwantung Allied Forces and fought a battle near the Tama River. Among them, more than [-] people were lost.

Although he was able to get compensation from the random arrests, human hunting, and heavy rewards from Hojo Ujiyasu, Takeda Harunobu began to seriously consider his retreat. In July, it was reported from Shinano that Murakami Yoshiki would join forces with the small prefectures and count the number of grams The castle regained its lost territory, and the people of Shinano were shaken. Ogasawara Nagato regained Fukashi Castle with the support of Murakami Yoshiki, and the Takeda family had to terminate the trip to Kanto and retreat back to Kai.

The Takeda family was clearly here to fight the autumn wind. After a few long victories, they retreated decisively when they found themselves in the middle of public criticism. Hojo Ujiyasu understood this reason, and he had no reason to prevent the Takeda army from retreating. It is no longer easy for allies to go deep into unfamiliar areas to cooperate. To ask again is to be demanding.

Taiyuan Xuezhai is a general who is good at commanding troops. The [-] Imagawa army led by him conquered several castles in Central Musashi all the way, and successfully mobilized several rebellious Chinese with the help of the Hojo family's retainers, without fighting any tough battles. , completely relying on steady and steady fighting to gain a foothold in Zhongmusashi, and at the beginning of June, he successfully evacuated Takeda Harunobu who was trapped in the Tamagawa River. In three months, the [-] army only lost more than [-] people, which is much better than Takeda Harunobu who committed public outrage. .

But the good times didn't last long. Taiyuan Xuezhai also began to retreat slowly after receiving the order of Imagawa Yoshimoto in early June. The reason was that there were repeated conflicts on the border of Mikawa Kingdom. Thinking about how to get back the place, so taking advantage of the opportunity that the Imagawa family had no time to look around, they mobilized several Chinese families close to Owari one after another, and recaptured several fortified cities.

Immediately afterwards, the eight prefectures of Owari pulled up an army of [-] troops and invaded the border of Mikawa. It seemed that they had plans to recapture Anxiang City. Leading Suruga and Yuanjiang [-] troops to Anxiang City to sit in town, and asked the Kira family to cooperate with the Sanhe Allied Forces to fight together. In June before the autumn harvest, they fought a few moderate battles.

Imagawa Yoshimoto needed to be in a stable internal situation and had to recall Taiyuan Xuesai to sit in Suruga, and the Hojo family fell into a dangerous situation of fighting alone. Fortunately, Hojo Ujiyasu seized the opportunity to defeat the main force of the Satomi family and forced Satomi Yoshiyao He took the initiative to retreat, and then Hojo Tsunasari once again showed his power and swept Chiba, Mariya, Oda and many other people from the country. The Satake family also took advantage of the opportunity and began to retreat gradually. Only the Ota family held on to Minami Musashi and resisted stubbornly. Minami Musashi was initially stable.

In September, the people of the Kanto Kingdom and Hojo have slowed down their offensives and started to start the autumn harvest. Because most of the territory of Musashi Kingdom fell, the power of the Hojo family was greatly weakened, and the return tide formed after the decline of the powerful clans from all walks of life made it very difficult for Hojo Ujiyasu to cope. Judging from the current situation, the Hojo family still uses the strategy of stabilizing Minami Musashi, and then slowing down the northern Musashi.

It's just that it's much more difficult than before, because both Furukawa's Fang Zhengshuo and Xiaogong's subordinates are actively joining together to resist Hojo Ujiyasu. If there is no victory like the night battle of Kawagoe, it will be difficult to win. back to the situation.

Kanto has been in turmoil for more than half a year, and the situation in Kinki is not much better. On the third day of September, the news that Haojia once again gathered an army to go to Kyoto flew all over Kinki as if it had grown wings. The public opinion in Kyoto stopped abruptly, and no one It was expected that Miyoshi Changqing would insist on going to the battle, and he would go to Kyoto before the captive exchange started. What kind of trouble is this?

The mobilization order of Miyoshi Changqing is like a stone thrown into a lake, which immediately stirred up the turbulent waves in Kinki. The Kinki people who had been stirring up the wind and rain stopped their flags and drums. While waiting for the news that the Miyoshi family was in chaos, Miyoshi Changqing also waited patiently for the news that the Ashikaga family was in disarray after throwing a stone.
