Pillars of the Wu family

It has been five years, four months and two days since Kira Yoshishi left Kinai. During the 940 days and nights, he tossed and turned every day, thinking about conquering Shiga and Takashima counties as soon as possible. It is exhausting.

The astonishing wealth hidden in these two counties may not be known to outsiders, but Liujiao Yixian, the overlord of Omi, will not be unaware. The annual net income of hundreds of thousands of pens is simply appalling. What's even more outrageous is that these incomes are not related to dozens of wealthy merchants in Sakamoto. Evenly divided, but monopolized by the Kira family alone, this one alone has a wealth accumulation speed that is not inferior to the world's top wealthy businessmen, not to mention the economic and political system created by Kira Yoshishi. The powerful military system has extraordinary armed mobilization capabilities Make him salivate.

The stone height of the two counties reached an astonishing 23 shi last year, double that of ten years ago. There are actually 18 people living in the two small counties, which is comparable to the total population of a country far away. Even if the population in Guinea is densely populated, it is far from reaching this astonishing number. In his memory, the population of the two counties is at most 6 to [-].

If he has money, food, soldiers, and a healthy and sound system, if he can obtain the land of the two counties and put them under the direct control, he can successfully get rid of the invisible restraint of the genealogy retainer group on him, and he will have the capital to further dominate Jinai. Let him win these two counties, even if he is as strong as Miyoshi Changqing, he will have the confidence to fight. It is worth offending the Kira family for this.

Liujiao Yixian's method is to use the power of the shogunate to suppress the Kira family. He really knows the current shogun very well, and he personally acts as his guardian. Over the years, he knows that this general who loves swordsmanship is actually a very powerful person. He is very pleased with him. He hates the mighty power over him.For this reason, he did not hesitate to write the oath of "Down with Sanzhu".

same.Ashikaga Yoshiki disliked a strong retainer very much.Whether it was Hosokawa Harumoto long ago, or Kira Yoshitoki, who is now gaining momentum, in Liujiao Yixian's view, this is not because His Royal Highness is ungrateful and ungrateful, but because a ruler must master the checks and balances. Dao, just like he has been suppressing the old Goto Xianfeng, who is the writer of the spectrum, it is a truth.

He just grasped the subtle attitude of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiki towards Yoshiki Kira, and repeatedly forced the shogunate to make a choice between the two counties of Omi, or force the Rokkaku family to give up when he supported Yoshiki Kira. Two counties, or support Liujiao Yixian to force the Kira family to give up the two counties.

No matter which side you choose.The price must be that the shogunate loses the protection and support of one of them. No matter for the shogunate or the losers in it, there is no winner. , because the shogunate really needs the Liujiao family, not only to rely on his military strength, but also to rely on his influence.

Therefore, relying on the contacts accumulated by Rokkaku Teyai, it is easy to get the first-hand accurate information after the shogunate made a decision, long before Mibuchi Fujihide set off.Yoshihide Rokkaku knew that the shogunate wanted to force the Kira family to subdue, and this was an excellent opportunity for the Rokkaku family.Liujiao Yixian was so excited that he almost went crazy.

The shogunate’s goshoji is a piece of waste paper for ordinary daimyos, but he, the Kira family, couldn’t refuse. The title of “Kamiso Ashikaga family” was bestowed by this person, and disobeying Ashikaga Yoshiki’s goshoji is tantamount to betrayal His own benefactor, he is sure that the Kira family would not dare to take this risk, at least not before getting Kira Yoshishi's clear attitude.

It is so far from Omi to Echigo. If you go by land to Tsuruga Port and then take a boat to Echigo, it will take two or three days for a one-way trip, and six or seven days for a round trip. He had already forced the Kira family to bow their heads and admit defeat, and as long as the Kira family flinched once, they would fall into his trap.

The Liujiao family can easily create the illusion that the Kira family is in the wrong, telling the public opinion in Kinai that the Kira family actually borrowed their land and now the creditor is paying off the debt, and even concocted a document that borrowed the two counties to protect the shogunate during the Kira Yoshihime period. Anyway, you were far away in Kanto when you were in Kirayoshi, what can you do with me?He still won the case to the shogunate.

Public opinion in Kinai will obviously not help a samurai family far away in the east. Even a few different voices will be drowned in the waves of denunciation by thousands of people. Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, Kita Omi Asai, and the biggest enemy of the Kira family, the Miyoshi family, will not Letting go of this opportunity to add insult to injury is great news for the Liujiao family.

As long as the public opinion in Kinai is on the side of the Liujia family, whether it is to use diplomatic means to continuously pressure the Kira family to make concessions, or use military means to forcibly seize the land of the two counties, there will be no problem. Liujia Yixian can be invincible early, No matter what means Kira uses, he will inevitably bear the criticism of public opinion. As for whether the rumors he spread are true or not, who cares?As long as the scandal of Kira's family breaks out, it will be enough to cause a sensation in the world.

But all the things in front of him broke his imagination. He would never have imagined that the Kira family would be so bold as to compete with each other. They dared to do something after the shogunate issued the imperial teacher. This is too late. When sending troops to anger Kira Yoshi?Isn't he worried that the shogunate will be furious and hit Yoshitoki Kira with a board?Could it be that they had expected it a long time ago, but just held back?

All kinds of ideas suddenly appear and disappear like dream bubbles. The beautiful visions and the painful experiences in reality are superimposed, dangling in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern. His spirit was completely broken, and a sense of absurd unreality suddenly struck him, giving him the urge to yell.

In a trance, Rokkaku Yoshiken seemed to see a white Ashikaga two leading two flags rushing towards him, and then the shouts of the guards shouting for help reached his ears, followed by the angry roar of the retainers and the anxious son The urging sound, the next moment he felt dizzy before his eyes and passed out.

Nakajo Tokihide led [-] elite soldiers who had experienced the war between Vietnam and China to rush into the mountain guard camp first. In the eyes of these warriors who had experienced the battle, the Rokkaku family was as fragile as paper. Since the night attack Almost no decent attack was formed. It is surprising and ridiculous that the corner of the legendary Kinai struggle for hegemony is so useless.

Soon the soldiers of the Six Corner Army discovered that the Kira Army had no interest in the massacre, and they quickly made a wise choice, throwing away their weapons and kneeling on the ground obediently waiting for the fate of the captives. He wanted to resist, and then he knelt down and gave up resistance. A night raid took a total of two quarters of an hour and captured more than 5000 people, and less than 1 people escaped in the dark.

Hideo Nakajo ran over angrily and complained: "This joint battle is really boring. The soldiers of the Liujiao family are so annoying. Don't they have the backbone of a samurai? They just killed a few hundred people and scared them to their knees." Beg for mercy, if this is placed in Kanto, you will be ridiculed to death! But then again, why did Shi Xiudian give up the pursuit! If you chase after a while, you will definitely be able to catch the Liujiao Yixian! Wouldn't it be a great achievement then? ?"

"I let those people go on purpose."

"Nani? Did I hear you right?" Hideo Nakajo stared at him with puzzled eyes.

Nakajo Tokihide glanced at his clan brother: "We are causing trouble, in order not to cause trouble to the master, it is better to cause as little trouble as possible. We are forced to defeat the Liujiao family to defend Shiga and Takashima. The two counties also frightened the surrounding Xiaoxiao, so why bother to capture Liujiao Jingzhao? Could it be that the Liujiao family was forced to spend money to redeem their own governor? In that way, if the Liujiao family's face is thrown in, they will definitely wait with me forever. The original intention of defending the two counties is completely opposite."

"It turns out there is another reason. It seems that I, Xiuzheng, are still too far behind!" Nakajo Hidemasa made a fool of himself. The night raid had just ended, and it would not take a while to clean up the wreckage and manage the prisoners. When they were done, the two put aside the current battle and chatted while walking.

"I changed the name on the military service account when I went back! Isn't Xiuzheng's name discarded last year? Speaking of which, the new name you gave is pretty good, Jiazhong is much more fluent than Xiuzheng."

Hideo Nakajo was scratching his beard, and said a little embarrassedly: "At that time, I drank too much with a few boys from the Miyake family, and I somehow got involved in the name, and then said in a daze that I wanted to change the name. After I sobered up, I regretted it, or I think the previous name was pretty good, after all, it was the name given by my father."

Nakajo Tokihide smiled and explained: "It's okay, I won't be jealous of you. Speaking of which, I worship the lord's name every word, and I don't care much about the common characters used by my ancestors."

The parents of the Zhongtiao family are the first ancestors of the Zhongtiao family, and Nakatiao Changxiu is the ancestor of the Zhongtiao family. The Zhongtiao family has always used the common character "xiu" to prove their direct lineage. Occasionally, several generations of family governors are independent It is not very common to change Tong characters. Hideo Nakajo has been thinking about changing his name, and he thought of the word "jia" used by the first ancestor.

The two chatted for another hour, and the mess in the camp improved. At this time, the sky had just turned pale, and the warriors tidied up and took the opportunity to get a good night's sleep. A night battle is exhausting enough, isn't it? Those two quarters of an hour were too tiring, and the preparatory work took too much energy.

The next day, news of the disastrous defeat of the Liujia Army spread like wildfire. The 5000-odd army led by Liujia Yixian was unexpectedly defeated by the Kira Army led by Nakajo Tokihide. People couldn't believe that the Liujia family was defeated. It was so miserable, more than 600 people killed 300 people, captured 400 people, and only 300 people fled back to Guanyin Temple City. Everything was lost in the battle.

Miyoshi Changqing, who was fighting fiercely in Hanoi, heard the news, and laughed loudly: "Tai Shigong said: God will not take it, but it will be blamed, and the time will not work, but it will be blamed! The shogunate fell into internal strife. The family is so vulnerable, this is God and Buddha bless my Sanhao family! My Sanhao family is about to turn around! Hahaha..." (To be continued...)
