Pillars of the Wu family

This kind of chaotic Chinese army is nothing to be afraid of. It is not easy for a group of Chinese people with ulterior motives to get together and count on them to act together. Without the support and influence of powerful names, this group of Chinese people is a joke. Their ability to protect the family There is more than enough in the hospital, and the lack of expansion and hegemony is slightly insufficient, and it is wishful thinking to unite and make progress.

After all, this is not the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties 200 years ago. Ashikaga Takashi had already obtained the title of Hanoi Minamoto's descendant before he was defeated in Kyushu, so he retreated to Kyushu with a group of remnants of defeated soldiers. It didn't take long before he pulled up 20 troops and re-entered Kyoto. However, the power of fame lost its effect as the Ashikaga family continued to weaken.

What's more, the current great general Ashikaga Yoshiki sits in Kyoto, and the situation was so good a few years ago that he looked like ZTE, but Ashikaga Fujimasa, the puppet of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, chose to attack another fellow who had just obtained the Imperial Palace. It's ridiculous, and it must be mentioned that this idiot official does not occupy the name of justice at all.

This farce was destined to end badly before it even started. Yoshitoki Yoshitoki temporarily ignored Ashikaga Masaru's outraged clamor, but dispatched [-] troops from the defenders in Shimoetsu Niigata Town to go out of Echigo and enter Dewa Country from Sakata Port. Taking advantage of the short time before the snow fell, the severe punishment actions against the people of several countries in Dewa country were quickly launched.

The [-] troops were led by Masanari Naito and Katsucho Irobe who were stationed in Dewa country respectively, and were responsible for punishing Tendou Yorisada, Nobuzawa Mishige, and Daihoji Yoshizo who was dissatisfied with the reduction of the seal, and joined the Kira defenders of Dewa country. The army of Dewa country surrounded Shimizu Castle with [-] troops, and Mogami Yoshimitsu led another [-] troops to attack Tendo, Nobuzawa, and their accomplices Shiratori and Kanhejiang. The overall situation was very serious for Kira's army. favorable.

Date Teruzong hoped to enter the Dewa country several times to launch an attack on the great enemy Mogami Yoshimitsu, but his father Date Harumune strictly stopped them. For the Date family, the face of the family governor is more important. Hegemony maintenance is more important.The inheritance of the Date family's family business is the most important. The face of the family governor is not as good as maintaining hegemony, let alone the inheritance of the family business. When the former and the latter conflict, the face is secondary.

When he first received the invitation from Ashikaga Fujimasa, Date Harumune opposed it, but he, a reclusive former governor, was not more authoritative than Date Teruzong, the current governor, because he chose to be in his prime. Passing the family governor to his teenage son, Date Qingzong cannot interfere or even obstruct the political judgment of his son just because of his different ideas.

In that way, it is meant to prompt a new round of confrontation between the family governors.Just like the astronomical chaos that year was almost the reason.Due to the adoptive son, Date Tsukune had a serious idea with the successor Date Harumune, the governor of the family, and then the old governor, Date Tsunemune, was ousted by his son Date Harumune and forced to live in seclusion. As the initiator of the Tianwen Rebellion, it is very clear that the two generations The evil result of the confrontation between the house governor.

Date Harumune knew very well that this Ashikaga Fujimasa was unreliable, but his words were useless and did not dare to be useful.He didn't choose to obstruct the old Pu Dai family's greeting, but kept his mouth shut after expressing his attitude reasonably. In the future, the foundation of the Date family will need to be guarded by Date Huizong, and it will be convenient for him to hone it a few more times. growth. [

Now Ashikaga Fujimasa has been proven to be an idiot, and the so-called anti-Echigo alliance he initiated has also become a laughing stock. Now the Kira Army chooses to launch a major blow to the rebels in Dewa before the heavy snowfall. At this time, the Date family is It is inconvenient to intervene hastily. Once the heavy snow is approaching, how to get back is still a problem.

Second, he was very worried that if such an attack on Mogami would anger Kirayoshi, the Date family would be listed as the primary target after the coming spring.It would be a disaster for an army of [-] or [-] to attack Yonezawa in Izuha country.The current stature of the Date family is absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the Kira family's army. This can be judged from the last battle for Zhongshan City.

If it is the stupidest choice to rush into the highest leader at this moment, it is equivalent to the Date family blocking the gun for the idiot Ashikaga Fujimasa, the instigator, and using the death of the Date family in exchange for slowing down the expansion speed of the Kira family. What do you think? It's a meaningless and very stupid choice.Therefore, Date Qingzong did not hesitate to call his impulsive son to reprimand him, and only after awakening Date Huizong by scolding him completely did he warn him not to be impulsive.

If the Date family does not take the bait, it means that the rebel army in Dewa Kingdom will lose their most powerful support. Under the siege of tens of thousands of troops and the instigation of Mogami Yoshimitsu, they only slightly provoke the relationship between the Daibaoji clan's retainers, and use The different voices against the rebellion within the vassal group of Dabao Temple easily prompted Yoshinaga of Dongchan Temple to unite with several elders to suddenly attack and imprison the old Tuzuolin Chandong, the head of the Pudai writer. surrender.

Yoshitoki Kira was very happy to accept this person who knew current affairs, and immediately promised to hand over all the remains of Daihoji Yoshinaka to the Tozenji Yoshinaga to lead them after his death, and then pretended to be generous to release Tosarin Zendong and other former ministers of the Daibaoji clan , In fact, secretly instigated them to avenge their lord, so the head of Tochanji Yoshinaga, the lord of Qingshui City, fell to the ground before the throne was warmed up.

Just like this back and forth, only ten days before and after, the illustrious Dabaoji family disappeared. After this blow, Tosarin Zendong was discouraged, and chose to escape to Mount Haguro to become a mountain monk. The family members of the family and the family members of the genealogy generation were dead and useless, and they no longer had the strength to resist the purge of Kira's army, and Shimizu leader fell into the hands of Kira Yoshitoki.

Perhaps it was the Taibaoji clan’s extermination of the clan that was a bit scary, making the originally noisy Dewa people suddenly become honest and obedient like chickens. All the flags and drums fell silent, and the entire Dewa country was as quiet as if there were no samurai in our short few days.

Tendo Laizhen and Yanze Manzhong saw that the situation was not good and they were very bachelors. They didn't give a few armies a chance to join forces and then attack the siege, so they opened the city gate very simply and surrendered in the posture of pleading guilty. Last time, he performed in front of Yoshitoki Kira, and Yoshitoki Kira was quite moved at that time, and he immediately gave Andu's permission and appreciated their surrender.

Less than two years later, Tendo Laizhen and Nobuzawa Mishige seemed to be planning to repeat the same tricks to get forgiveness, but it was a pity that Kira Yoshitoki, who felt deceived, had already made up his mind to abolish these two families. So the two house governors and their respective sons and nephews were directly taken away and forcibly sent to Chunri Mountain City.In fact, he was sent to Sado Island to work as a miner on the way, and he had no hope of getting out of that island in his life. The territories of Tendo and Nobuzawa also belonged to Kira Yoshitoki.

As for the other six families of Mogami Yoshimitsu, Shiratori, Hanhejiang, and several monasteries that have been involved in supporting the rebel army have all been reduced and punished accordingly. It took only a moment for Mogami Yoshimitsu to understand what it means to be a straight collar who has been fined, and then stared at the crowd of Chinese people whose seals were reduced.It's a bit like a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.

Before he had time to clean up the lord of the three counties in Xianbei, Onodera Jingdao.Dewa country ushered in the first heavy snow at the end of autumn. When the heavy snow fell, it basically declared that the war of that year was over. Masanari Naito and Katsuji Irobe led the army back to the defense area to garrison, and the rhythm of the march stopped completely.This made the people of Deyu country can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To deal with the rebels of the Echiha country, they have to clenched their fists and hammered hard. An additional 5000 troops is enough to deal with these dishonest people from the Echigo country. They will be left in the Dewa country as guards, and with the five thousand reinforcements, they can basically be stable. It was only when the autumn harvest appraisal meeting was held and the routine inventory of this year's agricultural income and expenditure was that they received Shan Shan. The latest news from Kinai that arrived late.

A wave of turmoil hit Kinei, and its intensity was completely beyond Kira Yoshitomo's expectations.The first was the joint high-profile announcement of Asakura Yoshikage and Asai Nagamasa in April.A heavy tax will be set up on the traffic artery between Tsuruga Port and Sakamoto Town, which means that Sakamoto Town will be forced to a dead end.

Of course Tokiyuki Yamamoto couldn't allow them to be so reckless, so he joined forces with Tohide Nakajo to quickly capture Tango Maizuru Port, and found another outlet on the west side of Wakasa Bay, posing as if you want to kill Sakamoto Town At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken.If you can't collect any business tax, you will offend the Kira family to death.

Asakura Yoshikage and Asai Nagamasa seemed to not care about this threat at all. In their eyes, the Kira family could not affect the internal affairs of their county at all. Soon, Asai and Ika counties in the Omi Kingdom, as well as the Asakura family's Several customs offices were soon set up in Tsuruga County to collect taxes. One customs office in each county collects [-]% of the total value of the goods from the business travelers passing through this place. The three counties need to collect taxes three times. The process increases the cost expenditure by [-]%. [

What's even more exaggerated is that Asakura Yoshikage actually ordered Tsuruga County Secretary Asakura Kageki to impose high cargo handling fees on ships moored in Tsuruga Port. Instead of collecting poll tax, [-]% to [-]% will be collected according to the value of the goods. Waiting for the transportation fee, this is to put on a toubob attitude that you can play or not, and Asakura Yoshikage also contacted Wakasa to guard Takeda Yoshitomo, and Tango guarded Isshiki Yoshimichi in an attempt to attack the Kira Army in Maizuru Port The investigation was launched in an attempt to use this method to implement countermeasures against the infiltration of the Kira family.

Takeda Yoshitomo immediately initiated a campaign against him, and at the evaluation meeting, he was jointly opposed by his younger brother Nobukata Takeda, who held the real power in the family, as well as important ministers Katsuhisa Awaya and Masayuki Itami. He even did not hesitate to turn his face on the spot to express his strong dissatisfaction. Takeda Yoshihiro didn't dare to be too stiff when he saw it was impossible. Thinking about it, this was just a conflict between the Asakura family and the Kira family. talked about.

Isshiki Yoshimichi doesn't care about Asakura Yoshikage at all. This guy, together with Takeda Yoshitomo, attacked Tango Isshiki's territory a few years ago, and today he came to him to fight against the Kira family. It was obvious that he was going to use him as a spearman, but On the contrary, the Kira family sent Hikari Numata to contact Isshiki Yoshimichi early on, telling him that any tax in Maizuru Port would be returned to the Isshiki family, and they only garrisoned the port to control the port as an entry and exit port for trade with Kyoto.

This is very important news for the Isshiki family. Although the Tango Isshi clan, one of the four positions in the original shogunate, has been strong for more than a hundred years, since Isshiki Yoshitsuki was killed by the evil imperial court Ashikaga Yoshinaka, this family has basically withdrawn from the shogunate The order of important ministers, who belonged to the Western Army and was sanctioned during the Yingren Rebellion, his family business has long since declined.

Only the country of Tango barely guards the door. It is no longer the powerful samurai family with high prestige in the past. The country of Tango is sparsely populated and the land is barren. The only thing it can rely on is the tax revenue from several ports and castle towns. He is really a poor and white local turtle warrior.

The [-] invading army of the Kira family suddenly seized Maizuru Port, showing that the Isshiki clan was completely unable to resist the powerful army, and the entire Isshiki family only had [-] troops.Facing such a powerful opponent, Isshiki Yoshimichi was even ready to fight to the death to take back Maizuru Port, and the emissary sent by the Kira family just at this time, Numata Hikari, was able to ease the Isshiki family's confrontational mood and return the Isshiki family. The fiscal and tax revenues of the family will not expel the original port implementation, only the garrison and security rights of Wuzuru Port are required.

Then Kira Yoshitoshi wrote him a personal letter also informed him of his intention to control the Tango Kingdom. These three thousand defenders can serve as the defenders of Maizuru Port to guard the east gate for Tango. However, Isshiki Yoshimichi repeatedly weighed the request he made when he felt Kirayoshi.Although it was too much to embarrass him, the family supervisor.But he is very clear that the fate of the small country daimyo is like this.

A few years ago, he was still aggrieved by the invasion of the Asakura family, and in recent years he was annoyed by the domineering of the Miyoshi family, secretly cursing the chaos of the world for letting these lowly warriors ride on the head of his famous family, but now he is in trouble. To a family of the same clan who is superior to him.Yishi Yidao has no intention of fighting to the death.

Yoshitoki Kira also mentioned in his letter that some conveniences could be provided for Maizuru Port, such as the renovation and rebuilding of Kenbuyama Castle, the residence of the Isshiki family, at a preferential price, including the reconstruction and renovation of the castle town of Kenbuyama Castle, and Tango Street Corresponding help can be given to the expansion and arrangement of the city, and this can also be applied to the reconstruction of Maizuru Port Town.

In addition, Isshiki is also willing to use flax, aquatic products, honey and agricultural products as deductions for the corresponding construction costs, but this makes Isshiki Yoshimichi very satisfied, and then he plans to cooperate with the Kira family. You must know Tango It is a very small territory that lacks land and rich mineral resources, and there are only so few special products that are not very valuable.Supporting the Isshishi family's generous life in Tango is the taxation of the business road leading to Kyoto.

From the Heian period.As the northern entrance of Kyoto, Tango has always been valued by the imperial court, and it has convenient transportation advantages and a comfortable environment, so it has become one of the downward locations favored by the ministers. Therefore, Tango's business activities are relatively developed. Some business travelers will go to Beijing at Maizuru Port, and taxation is the only main income Tango Shuo uses.If Isshiki Yoshimichi refuses because he is ignorant of current affairs, maybe he will lose these preferential treatment because he can't get it from Wuzuru Port, then he will really get nothing.

Compared with Yoshikage Asakura, who is only verbally united but has no real benefits, the sincere cooperation of Yoshitoki Kira from Echigo makes Isshiki Yoshimichi feel that the members of the same family are more reliable, and he doesn't think much about it. Recognizing the fact that the Kira Army dominated Maizuru Port, at the same time signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Kira family, including the construction of the previously mentioned Takebu Yamashiro and Castle Town, Tango Street and the construction of Maizuru Port.

This package agreement is expected to take five to seven years, and it will need to invest 10,000+ Guanwenyongle money for renovation. The rebuilt eastern area of ​​Tango will become another important sea outlet in Kyoto, which will greatly improve Tango’s economic vitality and The business contacts will also greatly improve the Isshiki family's economy, and Tango Kingdom's protection of Isshiki Yoshidou will be more comfortable than before.

And because Jianbu Mountain City and Wuhe Port are both the private property of the Isse Clan, the debts that the Isse Clan needs to bear are also a series of astronomical figures. One item added to the agreement is that when the Isise Clan pays off the debts when the agreement is completed, the Wuhe Port will be automatically transferred. As the collateral to cover the debt, it was transferred to the Kira family. If the converted debt is still not enough to compensate, the territory will be required to discount it.

It is certain that Isshiki Yoshimichi was unable to repay this huge debt until the moment of his death, or he never thought about repaying this huge debt at all, he just wanted to enjoy the comfortable life of five or seven years and the Kira family. The huge dividends brought about by the huge investment, who knows what will happen five or seven years later, maybe the world will be more chaotic, maybe the Kira family will disappear, maybe the world will be peaceful and righteous will come to Beijing to become an important minister.

Even if you don't consider this unreliable possibility, it is not the so-called being a monk who hits the clock for a day, but you can also imagine that the thigh of Kira's family can be hugged in five or seven years, and the so-called good shade under the big tree may be a tree that can The big tree next to it, as for the issue of Wuhe Port, is not important at all, there is always a price to be paid for hugging the thigh.

This one can be understood as a means for Cheng Jiliang to buy Tango with money. A strong army is a sword that kills Yosano, and a strong economy is a soft knife that kills people without blood. With such a set of business methods, it can be easily avoided. Severe conflicts that may be triggered by the seizure of the port, use money to open the way to buy a peaceful transition method that the local indigenous warriors are willing to accept.
