Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 132 Ashikaga Assassin Group

The price given by the agent of the Miyoshi family is [-] fen per ashigaru and [-] kanwen per samurai, but Matsui Yukan is not satisfied with this price, especially since this is a business that belongs to the enemy, which is naturally much more expensive than normal sales. , The price he gave was [-] Wen per person for soldiers, [-] Guan Wen per person for warriors, and the price for well-known and well-known warriors was calculated separately.

Although this price is not outrageous for redeeming the people of the Four Kingdoms, it is still dark enough. The agent of the Miyoshi family said that, except for the Shancheng people, the more than 4000 people will eat all of them. The other party already knows that their identities have been exposed. Playing the trick of asking prices all over the sky to pay back the money, the two sides have a great time fighting with each other.

Kirayoshi behind Matsui Yukan is not in a hurry, but Miyoshi Changqing is in a hurry, and the people in Kinki are showing signs of instability. The Hatakeyama family in Kinki is just like the Hosokawa family. When Takamasa Hatakeyama yelled out this voice, those unconscious Chinese raised their samurai swords and prepared to raise the flag of rebellion.

It is said that Hanoi, Kii and Yi are gathering troops. Once they are allowed to send troops, the army he recruited from the four countries can only go to war with Hanoi's Hatakeyama Takamasa. This is not in line with Miyoshi Changqing's strategic goal. He wants to suppress Kyoto first. That little general wants to avenge his hapless brother first, instead of wrangling with Hanoi's Hatakeyama Gaozheng.

Miyoshi Changqing tried to reach peace with Hatakeyama Takamasa, but the young governor, who had lived under house arrest and exile since he was a child, dismissed Miyoshi Changqing's proposal. He also has some special thoughts about the shogunate. In short, Miyoshi Changqing's efforts are doomed to come to naught.

Hatakeyama Takamasa has lived a life of ups and downs since he was a child, and once tasted the pain of being under house arrest. Although he did not go to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshito, but recently the two have become close pen pals. Ashikaga Yoshito's secret Send someone to contact him, intending to assassinate Yusa Changjiao, who controls Hanoi's state affairs, when Hatakeyama Zhenguo died of illness, and give him a chance to win the top position.

Therefore, the young Hatakeyama Takamasa agreed to this proposal without hesitation. Although Ashikaga Yoshito was younger than him, the two of them would naturally form an offensive and defensive alliance to fight against Miyoshi Changqing. Ashikaga Yoshito also promised to drive away Miyoshi Changqing. It can be said that among so many reasons, the post of governor was given to him. Only the governor is the most attractive one to him. No family governor of the Hatakeyama family can resist the attraction of governor.

The Hatakeyama family has not tasted the taste of leadership for nearly 60 years since the Mingyu coup declined, so when Ashikaga Yoshito offered this in exchange, not only Hatakeyama Takamasa was moved, but even Anmi Zongfang and his father who had just died Yusa Nobuko also supported Hatakeyama Takamasa. I don't know what Yusa Nobuko would think when he found out that his father was assassinated by this ally.

As the situation in Kinki took a turn for the worse, there were new changes in the negotiations on Matsui Yukan's side. Perhaps it was Matsui Yukan's unreasonable insistence on killing the price and not letting go, which made the negotiation deadlocked and made him very passive. Miyoshi's family urged him again In a hurry, the businessman from Sakaimachi had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to his request. Each soldier had 1 coins, each samurai had five guanwen, and the price of a senior samurai increased by ten to fifty times. [-] guanwen.

This staggering price made Kira Yoshitoki very addicted. At the same time, he lamented the wealth of the Miyoshi family. The Miyoshi family collected tens of thousands of "Yaqin" from Sakai Town. In Awa, the hometown of Shikoku, Sanuki operated dyes for printing and dyeing. The Blue House, as well as the very popular timber in Kinki, Nishikoku, Tokai and other regions are very profitable. Relying on these two fiscal revenues, the Miyoshi family can use Awa as a base to control Sanuki, and Awaji will gradually enter Kinki to dominate.

Yusa Changjiao was assassinated very smoothly, which also indicates that the assassination of other people will also start. Miyoshi Yoshiken and An Zhai Dongyasu are very careful people, and both of them are not in Kinai, so the assassination group will be confused. The difficulty of going in to carry out an assassination doubled, and the final result also confirmed this judgment. No one was exposed when they touched them, and they could only end in failure.

The Matsunaga brothers are not good enemies either. They control a lot of power in Miyoshi's family, one civil and one military. They rely on caution and precautions, and the signs of assassination are snuffed out as soon as they come out, without even a word of wind. There was no sound, and no one knew whether those assassins were alive or dead in the end.

Only Miyoshi Changqing, who was least likely to be assassinated, was almost recruited. Because of the turmoil caused by Hatakeyama Takamasa's incident, Miyoshi Changqing invited Yamato ape musicians to perform ape music to relieve his boredom. It was this decision that almost killed him. Killed to death, three assassins wearing masks performing saru music suddenly came out from the team of saru music masters, and stabbed Miyoshi Changqing with their sharp knives, causing him to be stabbed unexpectedly.

Fortunately, his valet reacted quickly and dealt with these assassins in twos and threes. Miyoshi Changqing, who had a false alarm, kept throwing temper tantrums in addition to recovering from his injuries. As a result, it was reported that he was seriously ill within a few days , leaving the government affairs at home to Mikyu and Matsunaga Hideo who came back from Katsuryuji Castle, and moved to an annex near Sakaimachi to recuperate.

At the beginning of October, the [-] regiments of the Miyoshi family landed in Kinki one after another. The general general was Miyoshi Yoshiken, the most strategic of the four brothers. Seeing that the situation is not going well, the slippery Itami immediately surrendered, knelt down in front of Miyoshi Yoshiken and cried that he was cheated by Hatakeyama Takamasa, and swore that he would be loyal to Miyoshi's family for life and would never betray him again.

Hatakeyama's family was also shot while lying down. Itami's rebellion didn't even say hello to them. There was no deceit at all, but the old man didn't care. He didn't care who he sold as long as he could get through the danger. In the end, it was Miyoshi Yoshiken who considered Tanba. The rebellion was urgent, so he lifted it from high and put it down gently, so that he finally escaped.

Afterwards, Miyoshi Yoshiken led an army into Tanba Kingdom, and now the Hatano family panicked and wanted to cage the city in a hurry. Later, his retainers persuaded him not to resist, and it would be over if he went out and bowed his head?So Harumichi Hatano, whose brain was not developed enough, surrendered obediently, and the turmoil in Tamba ended before it even started.

At the same time, Matsuura Hizenmoru, the guardian of Izumi who belonged to the Miyoshi family, sent an urgent report to the Miyoshi family, and Hatakeyama Takamasa saw the situation was not good and turned to Izumi.

This change almost injured the back of Miyoshi's family, and all the arrangements of Settsu Kingdom were ruined. What's worse is that Miyoshi Changqing in Sakai Town will become very dangerous. In the country, the news came that the soldiers were attacking Kishiwata Castle. Matsuura Hizen quickly led more than 1000 troops to retreat to the cage city of Kishiwada Castle. Head towards Iquan Guosha and run over.

Seeing the new turmoil in Kinki, Ashikaga Yoshito began to be restless again. When he recruited Kira Yoshito from Sakamoto Castle to discuss the matter of going to Kinki, Ashikaga Yoshito said to him: "Miyoshi Changqing is seriously ill! It is said that the wound is festered! Unconscious, the vicinity of Sakai-cho has been blocked, as long as the Hatakeyama army invades Sakai-cho, the Miyoshi family will be finished!"

Ji Liangyishi looked at the incoming military report and put it aside, shook his head and said: "Miyoshi Changqing just suffered a serious illness, which does not mean that Miyoshi's family collapsed. As long as he is not dead, we can't take it lightly. The shogunate has insufficient troops. Entering it, it is very likely that this family fortune will be ruined."

"You mean to miss an opportunity and slip away? No! This is something I have worked so hard to create, and I must never give up like this! Never!" Ashikaga Yoshito's attitude was very firm, and with a wave of his sleeve, Yoshito Kira opinion was rejected.

Ningagawa's relative said in a timely manner: "Does the public mean to send troops now? How about joining forces with Hatakeyama Takamasa's army and defeating the Miyoshi family together?"

Daguan Qingguang shook his head and said: "At this time, I always feel that something is wrong with getting mixed up with the Hatakeyama family. If we must march, we should attack the Settsu country."

Ashikaga Yoshito was also not sure how to send troops. His understanding of military strategy was very superficial, and at the same time, he also trusted Kira Yoshitoki, so he asked, "Yoshitoki, tell me your opinion."

"Yes! If it is necessary to go out, it is inevitable to attack Settsu. Settsu is adjacent to Kyoto and is the Ping Fan of the Yamashiro Kingdom. Miyoshi Changqing happens to be not in Akutagawa Yamashiro at this time. As long as this city is captured, the people of Settsu Kingdom will be very happy. The big shock is also a great blow to Miyoshi's family." Yoshitoki Kira said seriously.

Ashikaga Yoshito was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision: "That's good! You will go out as the army's representative to take Tsutsu and capture Akutagawa Mountain Castle for the rest!"
