Pillars of the Wu family

In the first month of the third year of Yonglu, it was extremely cold in this snowy winter. Even the warm and humid Kinai was hit by continuous heavy snow. I heard that the snowstorm in Kanto is very serious, and probably only Hokuriku, Yuao and other cold distant countries are used to this kind of snowstorm.

Miyoshi Changqing is not having a good time this winter, Hanoi Kunibatayama Takamasa sticks to him like a dog skin plaster and can't get rid of it, if you want to hit him, you will play hide and seek, if you don't hit him, you will jump up and down This caused trouble, and the many samurai of the Miyoshi family who were tossing back and forth were exhausted. This year's war is also the same. As soon as Hatakeyama Takamasa saw the Miyoshi army coming back, he retreated back to Hanoi with his army without saying a word.

Hatakeyama Takamasa found a beautiful reason. After the war in Kyoto, he has no more demands. It is his ambition to restore Hanoi. He also condemned Miyoshi Changqing for his crimes against Kyoto. How many Buddhist temples and ancient temples were destroyed in his hands, and his crimes were worse than that of Ouchi Yoshinho who fought in Funaokayama, and he could almost be compared with the "rebellion" after the Cargill "rebellion".

Hearing such disgusting reprimands, Miyoshi Changqing wished he could wrench Hatakeyama Takamasa's head off and kick him away. If Miyoshi's family hadn't suffered a big loss in Kyoto and only got a little consolation prize, he would definitely launch an attack at all costs. Hanoi's conquest, the current situation is obviously very unfavorable to Miyoshi's family, forcing him to endure this bad breath, there is no such thing as Quandang Hatakeyama Takamasa.

The Miyoshi family saw the Hatakeyama Army retreating back to Hanoi. Although they followed up with reprimanding Hatakeyama Takamasa for his bad behavior of fleeing without a fight, they were actually relieved that Hatakeyama Takamasa ran back without saying a word. The Miyoshi Army had just experienced a whole summer. In the joint battle between Luozhong and Luozhong, more than [-] soldiers were killed in Kyoto before and after the battle, so there were as many as [-] wounded.

The battle damage actually only represents one aspect. More importantly, the Miyoshi army was hit by the sudden rebellion, and the Kira family suddenly seized the Kaga half country, which greatly damaged the morale of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Miyoshi family. However, if Hatakeyama Takamasa did not choose to retreat so quickly, but insisted on fighting a battle with the exhausted Miyoshi army in Izumi, I am afraid that Miyoshi Changqing would not be sure to win this war.

Naito Sokatsu led [-] remnant soldiers back to Tamba to clean up his mess, mainly because of the trouble caused by Hatano Harumichi, the largest power in Tamba. This change is not the first time Hatano Harunichi has acted. Every year, there will be some disturbances. Naito Munekatsu also led the army several times to fight with the Hatano family, each with their own injuries. The reason why they brought [-] Danba national troops this time instead of more was because Hatano Harumichi refused to cooperate. reason.

At the end of September, Naito Munekatsu defeated the Hatano army in the fifth battle of Hachikajo Castle, and shot the general Hatano Harutsu with an arrow, causing the morale of the Hatano army to collapse. Katsuichi stormed into Hachigami Castle and forced the Hatano clan to abandon Hachigami Castle where they had lived for generations. Hatano Harutsu also died on the way to escape because of the recurrence of arrow sores due to anger and anger.

The new governor, Hideji Hatano, was only 20 years old, but he was a brave and excellent samurai. After hastily burying his father, he led an army raid with the help of his family retainers Akai Naomasa, Koi Koye, Akai Yukie, and Araki Utsuna. Yagami Castle drove the negligent Naito Sokatsu back to Yagi Castle in one fell swoop. [

After this back-and-forth military conflict, the forces of the local people in Tanba represented by Hideji Hatano completely torn face with the Miyoshi family. Hideji Hatano's fierce resistance received strong support from the people of Tamba, and many people who were related to the Hatano clan united in Hachikama Castle Under the banner of this young man, he actively resisted Naito Munekatsu's tough rule. For a time, the Hachigami side had more than 1 troops.

However, Naito Zongkatsu experienced several fierce battles, and the strength of the headquarters had dropped to less than 5000 people. In desperation, he had to give up his plan to rush to Tanba, and retreated to Yagi Castle to assume a long-term confrontation posture. The dominance of Tanba Kingdom has been greatly shaken, and it has never returned to its former self-controlled posture.

Bessho Anji of Higashi-Harima is also a brave and excellent samurai. He is eight years older than Hatano Hideji. All the people in the country are all brooding over their defeat in that battle, and they have a hundred reasons to justify their previous defeat.

The most important one is that the Miyoshi family did not expect that the Miyoshi family would launch an attack on Higashiharima from the waterway at the same time.Before that, the Miyoshi family did not reveal any intentions towards Harima. The people of Harima were busy fighting internally and never thought that they would be invaded. Suddenly, the general of the Miyoshi Army, Miyoshi Yoshiken, led the army to kill Harima. The rapid and decisive attack made the Harima Mizu Army General Kajihara Shigeemon not have time to react, and Higashi Harima was suddenly suppressed by Miyoshi Yoshiken.

The unprepared Higashi-Harima people suffered a big loss as soon as they came up. Before the army could be called up, they were forced to be out of breath by successive armies. The army that was urgently summoned by each family was only one tenth of the overall force. Two or three, I can only lead a few hundred warriors to guard the city, but Miyoshi Yoshiken is too cunning, and even promised a lot of money to many small and medium-sized people to win over a group of leading parties, which caused a major flaw in Higashi Harima's internal defense. In the end, if you make a wrong move, you will lose everything.

This time, Bessho Anji, who had just succeeded the family governor, fought against the Miyoshi family with a heart of revenge. Before the Miyoshi family launched the Luozhong War, he quietly called for military service, and raided the Harima country at the most intense moment of the Luozhong War. Several traitors belonging to the Miyoshi family killed them one by one and announced that they would break away from the control of the Miyoshi family and return to the Chimatsu family.

His statement was supported by all the people in the Harima country, including the powerful Nishi-Harma countryman Uno Shimono Shouzhengxiu, who was the family governor of the Tatsuno Akamatsu clan, who called himself Uno, and was the former governor of the Akamatsu clan Akamatsu. Haruma's son-in-law, because at this time the Akamatsu family is fighting against the governor, the former governor Haruma Akamatsu and the current governor Yoshisuke Akamatsu are at odds.

The result of the confrontation between father and son is that the people of Bizen, Misaku, and Harima also choose sides according to their respective positions. Among the enemies, you must support the former governor and I will support the current governor. The relationship is not harmonious. The people of the Higashiharima country where the Bessho family is located are die-hard supporters of the current governor, Yoshisuke Akamatsu. In recent years, the relationship between the two parties has also reached a deadlock as the battle for the governor of the Akamatsu family has intensified.

But since the invasion of the Miyoshi family, everything has been interrupted. Akamatsu Haruma and Akamatsu Yoshisuke, father and son, also feel that the powerful Miyoshi family is coveting them. The people of Bizen, Misaku, and Harima were discussing how to deal with the Miyoshi family. At this time, the black hand of the Kira family reached out to make a big contribution. Therefore, when it came to the issue of foreign invaders, the powerful people of East and West Harima united together.

Not only did they get the support of these two people, but they also got the political position of a small temple known as one of the three families of Akamatsu in Harima Junior High School, as well as the powerful family servant Miki Tokiaki, Bizen guardian Dai Urakami Masamune, Matsuda Motoki, and Misaka guardian Dai Nakamura Yuzong Part of the reason for this is that the Miyoshi family is worried about "interfering" with the Akamatsu family's affairs, and the bigger reason is the huge influence exerted by the Kira family behind the scenes.

Without the help of the Kira family behind the scenes, the impenetrable Kira ninjas and the Kira envoys moving around, under constant intimidation and lure, forcibly kneaded the Akamatsu vassal group together for more than 20 years. The people of the country gathered in Zhishio City again with their own ghosts, and their purpose was to repel the powerful Miyoshi family.

Akamatsu Haruma and Akamatsu Yoshisuke, father and son sitting together again, looked at the faces in the room that had not been seen for many years, and were very moved. At the same time, they were surprised by the strong influence of the Kira family. No one knows how strong the military strength of the Kira family is, but they only know that the astonishing Vietnam-China War, even the battle that took place on the banks of the Tetori River in the southern part of Kaga, was not enough to scare them. It is also separated by a huge Kinki Mire.

However, the economic strength of the Kira family was highlighted at this moment. The Yongle money worth [-] guanwen was placed in front of all the officials, but no one dared to move even a little bit in the face of the Kira ninja who appeared and killed people. Robbing the money by force, who knows if the consequence of the robbery is to wake up tomorrow and move his head.

The meeting lasted only half an hour and quickly passed a resolute anti-Miyoshi decision. Akamatsu Yoshisuke immediately decided on the resolute resistance posture of Harima, Misaku, and Bizen to the invasion of the Miyoshi family, and stated that Akamatsu did not intend to incorporate Kinki The attempt of "rebellion" is only to resist the invasion of the Miyoshi family. The people of the above-mentioned three countries will resolutely resist the invasion of the Miyoshi family. If there is any violation, the warriors of the three countries will discuss it together.

At the same time, a proposal was made to support Hideji Hatano, who was against the Miyoshi side of the Tamba country. Akamatsu Yoshisuke was determined to win over the powerful national lord of the neighboring country, and married his own sister to Hideji Hatano to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. The idea of ​​finding a strong supporter in Danba country is simply amazing. [

Akamatsu Haruma did not refute his son's proposal, and he also felt that it would be a very good thing to have a son-in-law who controlled more than half of Tanba, so he quickly got married under the intermediary of the Kira family envoy. Masahide Uno felt that there was a brother-in-law The foster brothers might be able to provide him with some unexpected help, while Bessho Yasji was slowly thinking about how to strengthen the relationship with the Hatano family in the future, and this proposal was passed without hesitation amidst the ghosts of people from all walks of life.

At first glance, it seems that the Harima Akamatsu family seems to have the intention of returning to life by taking advantage of the opportunity of the Kira family to bring together the anti-Miyoshi family. However, the Akamatsu retainers and a group of Chinese people who went out on their own and were forced to come here are very clear that the Akamatsu family is like a The terminally ill old man has many arthralgias that are hard to recover, and another Hideji Hatano sinking in will only make the muddy pond more muddy and difficult to distinguish.

If Hatano Hideji is smart enough, he will definitely try to maintain a neutral attitude on Harima, instead of rushing to support which side and get himself trapped. This change is even less likely to change the fact that the leader of the Akamatsu family is declining. Decay is decay, and it cannot be reversed with a little blessing from an external force.

At least this external force is not strong enough to see everything and change everything. Akamatsu Haruma and Akamatsu Yoshisuke are not the kind of family governors with shocking talents. They can still run their own small kingdom with peace of mind, but before that, they need to One more premise is to defeat the invading army of Miyoshi's family...

Thinking of this, many Xiguo warriors present showed a strange smile that you understand and I understand. (To be continued.)
