Pillars of the Wu family

After a few days of comfortable life, something troubled him again. The turmoil in the country has finally settled down in autumn for nearly half a year. Miyoshi Changqing finally launched his long-prepared trip to Shangluo. Miyoshi’s family made a big move. It didn't take long for the Miyoshi family's army to continue to surge towards Kinai. By the beginning of May, people from Awa, Sanuki, Settsu, Izumi, Hanoi, Tamba, and Higashiharima gathered more than [-] people from the heyday The military situation, and the sudden storm that was stirred up in Kinai made people worry.

Ashikaga Yoshiki hurriedly ordered the Kinai samurai family to enter Los Angeles to defend the shogunate, but the reaction of the Kinai people was very ambiguous. Asai Hisamasa had just been forcibly seized power by his son Asai Kenmasa and abdicated. Yoshitomo is distressed by the civil strife caused by Wakasa Shuangbi.

Hatakeyama Takamasa took the opportunity to escape from Sakai Town with Anmi Zongfu, and went to Kii to find the support of Tange Moritomo, his pedigree retainer. Taking advantage of the change of Miyoshi's family to recapture Takaya Castle and take the opportunity to recover, Kinai once again fell into a new era of political turmoil.

Looking at the entire Kinai, Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshin are the only two forces in Kinai that can contribute to the shogunate, but the problem is that the combined military strength of the two families is only more than 3, and the two were still guarding the mountains last year. There was a lot of conflict during the war, and neither side was willing to go out to defend the capital. Besides, there was Kenmasa Asai who opposed both the Rokkaku clan and the Kira clan in the Omi territory. Oops, so defending the home is essential for the military.

Miyoshi Changqing's patience was unusually strong, and he sent envoys to the shogunate to spread news in Kyoto, saying that Hosokawa Utsuna, the leader of the shogunate, had not served in the shogunate for several years.This time, I want to support Utsuna Hosokawa as a serious leader.This reason is so legitimate that there is no reason to refute it.It is both emotional and reasonable that the management leader has been in office for ten years, and it is not reasonable to assume the post in Kyoto, but the truth is that the shogunate, especially Ashikaga Yoshiki, does not need this obstructive management leader.

Ashikaga Yoshiki reprimanded Miyoshi Changqing for plotting wrongdoing. To go to Los Angeles, only 500 people lightly ride into Los Angeles. What he did was not a good thing for Wei Guangzheng, it was not just a name for leading the army to seize power by force, how could he follow the orders of the shogunate sincerely.Even if the shogunate really wanted to invite Miyoshi Kaqing to lead three to five hundred cavalry into Jingluo to rule, I am afraid that Miyoshi Changqing would not dare to accept this.

Miyoshi Changqing's patience was unexpectedly good after experiencing the blow of Kirayoshi. He insisted on waiting until the end of May when he was completely sure that there would be no accidents in Kinai before leaving for Shiluo. Miyoshi Changqing took his puppet with him. Hosokawa clan and [-] troops crossed the Settsu Kingdom to launch an attack on Katsuryuji Castle, while the Odate Koshin Department in Katsuryuji Castle only had [-] troops. Even if Katsuryuji Castle has repeatedly strengthened its defenses over the years It is difficult to resist the siege of Miyoshi's army.

Nakajo Tokihide led an army of [-] to Fushimi Mountain to set up an army, and Rokkaku Yoshiken led an army of [-] to set up camp on the other side of the Uji River. What surprised the two was that Miyoshi Changqing only used [-] troops to act. There is still no news of the [-] army.According to normal rules, it is conservatively estimated that there should be [-] troops out of the [-] troops that can be dispatched.It shouldn't be a big problem to be bold and dispatch [-].

It is always dangerous for the [-] army to stay still, forcing Nakajo Tokihide to dare not make too much moves, but Ashikaga Yoshiki in Kyoto couldn't wait to order the two to expel Miyoshi Changqing's [-] besieging army as soon as possible, Rokkaku Yoshiken Attempts to cross the river were all forced back by Miyoshi Changqing's military deterrence, and he was afraid to move because he was worried that Miyoshi's family would have a hand behind him. [

I could only watch helplessly as Miyoshi Changqing besieged the city fiercely. In the end, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't sit still and ordered Rokkaku Yoshiken and Nakajo Tokihide to join forces with the shogunate to rescue Katsuryuji Castle with the [-] troops of the public. Nakajo Tokihide disagreed. Such a risky action was dragged behind and was not active. Rokkaku Yoshiken was worried that he would not get any credit for falling behind like the previous few times, so he actively responded, so he hurriedly led an army of [-] to respond to Ashikaga Yoshiki's order.

Therefore, the nominally [-] troops of the Shogunate launched an attack on the Miyoshi Army outside the city of Shenglong Temple from the two directions of Yodo River and Katsura River. , revealing the bloody true face of the Warring States Period.

These [-] troops come from all over the Wu family, the unrecognized ronin, and the local people of Shancheng Kingdom. After several years of careful training, they look like some elite troops. It's just that the generals who come from Fenggong are really unqualified and don't understand military strategy. The Ashikaga Yoshiki's random order destroyed their last hope of victory.

The [-] Bong public troops of the shogunate attacked halfway through the crossing. Several Feng public leaders were captured on the spot, and the dead captives and captives of the more than [-] soldiers retreated without any suspense. Liujiao Yixian crossed the river The army also encountered a similar sneak attack across the river, and the Awaji Navy took the opportunity to kill them in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Hexagon Army.

Fortunately, Yoshihide Rokkaku has always been wary of this kind of trick and did not dare to send too many troops to cross the river at once. He hired dozens of Kira navy ships and rushed to disperse the Awaji navy with a sudden charge. More than 2000 troops from his own side crossed the river. Desperately escaping to get back to the ship, he had a sap before he could meet the main force of the Miyoshi Army, Liujiao Yixian's heart was half cold.

Looking back, I found that Nakajo Tokihide was dawdling and still hadn’t left the Fushimi Mountain camp. Rokkaku Yoshiken knew that he was deceived by the illusion of victory again, thinking that he was fighting as if he was really going to win. In fact, the opponent he cared about the most was Kira. The legion didn't move at all, obviously not optimistic about the rescue plan of crossing the river.

Yoshihide Rokkaku, who had learned the lesson, immediately sent an envoy to contact Tokihide Nakajo to ask him what his plan was. Tokihide Nakajo didn't hide from this prospective ally, and he said bluntly that his order was to try his best to keep the capital, and the second was to keep Don't lose too much of your own army in the war in Kinai, so as not to lose your foundation and affect your family business. The Miyoshi family's ambitions for Kyoto are well known. Since he came here, he won't just fight for a city of Katsuryuji. Rather than wasting time in a branch city that is bound to be lost, it is better to prepare for the next fierce battle in Kyoto.

Yoshihide Rokkaku thinks about it carefully. Nakajo Tokihide is just a generational general of the Kira family. In terms of military strategy and status, he cannot be compared with when Yoshitoki Kira was there. The action was not because of his Liujiao Yixian's covetousness towards Sakamoto, which touched Nilin, if it wasn't for this reason, he would probably have stayed in the two counties to guard the home.

Recalling that what I have been thinking day and night for the past few years is to capture the two counties of Jinjiang, but instead of capturing the two counties, my army lost the territory of Litai County. Not only lost an important territory in vain, but also lost the prestige and family cohesion accumulated so hard. And forced the strategic direction of the Liujia family to turn to the North Omi and the Iga Kingdom in the south.

The two armies soon calmed down, and each led their troops to watch the unhurried siege of the Miyoshi Army. This siege battle lasted from late April until the end of June. Yu Ri finally fell due to the lack of food and aid. On June 29, the main maru of Shoryuji Castle was breached, and the suicide of Odate Takanobu and dozens of fenggong samurai came to an end.

The 100 troops in Katsuryuji City were all killed in the battle of the cage city for more than two months. The tragic battle situation spread to Kyoto and caused great shock. The people of Kyoto have already experienced too many illusions of peaceful times. Forgetting the battles experienced in Kyoto, let them recall Doichikui who ran rampant in Kyoto more than 90 years ago, the Onin Rebellion 40 years ago that the East and West Army ignited the fire that ravaged most of Kyoto, and the bloody battle of Funaokayama more than [-] years ago. Sa Luohan Bridge, and the shocking reversal of the Guichuan battle seven years ago, with fewer victories and more victories.

The war has never been far away from Kyoto, and the peaceful and prosperous age is still far away. Ashikaga Yoshiki, who once boasted about the revival of the shogunate, can only cower in Kyoto and sigh. Like ants on a hot pot running around anxiously, the people of Kyoto suddenly missed the young man who had saved Kyoto twice.

It will be impossible for Kira Yoshitoshi to take care of the young and old in Kyoto for a while. The strong entry of the Miyoshi Army into Katsuryuji Castle is a wake-up call for Kyoto that has not been inactive for many years. Businessmen and cultural people who dream of a peaceful and prosperous world can rest for a while. Rest, the townspeople who are eager for light and thin taxes will have to work harder to cope with the imminent levies. As long as the war is drawn to the corner of the curtain, it will never stop. This is the correct tune in troubled times.

When Miyoshi Changqing stepped into the castle tower of Shoryuji Castle, leaned on the railing to look at the endlessly exhausted Yodo River, and recalled the scene where he once stopped here seven years ago, these seven years seemed to be a reincarnation, under the guidance of fate Let him stand at this familiar place again, and he will never miss the opportunity to go to Luo. No one can stop him from moving forward. Miyoshi Changqing firmly looks in the direction of Guichuan, where there is a city that symbolizes the authority of the world , Kyoto.

The priests in Sakamoto Town spent an uneasy afternoon. When they received the news of their father's suicide, Harutada Odate could only shut himself up in the house for a whole day in sorrow. Masaoyuki Matsui didn't know that he could only comfort him. Look at it a bit more, life and death care about being doomed by gods and Buddhas, and the death of an old man at his age is also considered a joy or mourning. [

Odate Takanobu is the younger brother of Odate Harukiko, an old samurai who is nearly seventy years old, just like Hosokawa Motosune who died for the shogunate in the Katsuragawa Battle, the news that he died for the shogunate's loyalty spread to Kyoto Many townspeople spontaneously prayed for blessings, and it happened that Miyoshi Changqing also transported dozens of dead Fenggong samurai and the remains of those who died in previous battles to Katsurakawa for the shogunate to receive.
