Pillars of the Wu family

This round of war started with the turmoil in Kyoto that buried the scourge of the management era. Ashikaga Yoshiki's short-sightedness and stupidity sent a strong signal to the Miyoshi family. We can still abolish or even depose generals.

This strange and piercing sound permeated Miyoshi's house. The more and more manic Miyoshi warriors tried to encourage Miyoshi Changqing to abolish the general. Miyoshi's family happened to have such a puppet that could be used for waste. Ashikaga's son, Ashikaga Yoshisuke, and Ashikaga Yoshisuke, father and son.

This is regarded as the Miyoshi family's strong response to Ashikaga Yoshiki's refusal to marry the insulting behavior, but this motion is only initially supported by Miyoshi Changyi, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Miyoshi Yasunaga. Yixian was raped here, and the will of the lower class may sometimes influence the decision of the upper class. Usually, there are very few opportunities for the lower class to influence the upper class. The crazy restlessness of Miyoshi's family did not get the support of Miyoshi Changqing.

Miyoshi Changqing and his younger brother Miyoshi Mixiu are not violent idiots. He is the hero of the Miyoshi family who created Kinai hegemony. He is very clear about the disadvantages of the Miyoshi family's weak foundation. Miyoshi Changqing and his uncle Miyoshi Zongsan competed for the 1539th place in Hanoi. By the tenth year of Yonglu (1567), it was not enough 30 years.

The first ten years of this less than 30-year history of rise were in a dormant period. Gan was the fierce dog under Harumoto Hosokawa and bit the enemy. It was not until the 18th year of Tianwen (1549) that the battle of Eguchi showed its sharpness. During this period, the Miyoshi family did not have much prestige in Kinai. In the middle ten years, the power of the Miyoshi family rose up, and they were hit by the sudden rise of Ashikaga Yoshitoki. Their noses and faces were bruised and swollen until the beginning of Yonglu in Luozhong. Fight together to realize Shangluo's ambition.

The next ten years will be the fastest expansion of the Miyoshi family, but no matter how strong it is, it will not be the opponent of the Hosokawa family in its heyday. Panhuan spent a full ten years outside the capital city, unable to get in. He was once beaten by Ashikaga Yoshitoki because of his confusion and insanity.

Hosokawa Masamoto abolished the general who conquered barbarians and opened the curtain of the Warring States Period. He burned Mount Hiei so that the group of arrogant monks dared not even fart. Both contempt and harmony system, this kind of power, courage, courage and skill is worthy of being called a half-general, if it weren't for Hosokawa Masamoto's preference for masculinity, appointing a gangster to the middle-aged son, and the lack of proper arrangements for the three adopted sons, the housekeeper was in chaos 』, there will never be a chance for the Miyoshi family to take the lead.

The humble Miyoshi Changqing thinks he can’t do it, the proud Miyoshi family genealogy doesn’t think so, and the furious Kinai people don’t think so. The stronger the Miyoshi family, the more frightened the Kinai daimyo, the stronger the Miyoshi family means the Kinai The Three Kingdoms Alliance is strong together, and if the Echizen Asakura clan and the Omi Asai clan take advantage of the situation to rise up and form a group of demons dancing wildly, it will be extremely difficult to restrain them at that time.

Where there is pressure, there is motivation. The Rokkaku family, which has been under pressure for a long time, quickly found the Takeda family of the Wakasa country, the Hatano family of the Tanba country, and the Hatakeyama family of Hanoi, and issued a motion to jointly send troops to attack the Miyoshi family. His proposal quickly received eager responses from the Kinai people. , From the side, it shows that all the people in Guinea feel heavy pressure. This pressure is fed back to the actual action, which is a new round of three good siege nets. [

This siege network lacked unified coordination, and it was only started with a series of small-scale wars. The reason was that the Kanto Ashikaga family in the middle was too strong. Forcing the people of Guinea to submit to the Kwantung General's Mansion overtly and secretly.

No one believes that Ashikaga Yoshiki can block Ashikaga Yoshitoki's progress with just a paper of the imperial teacher. The Kanto government is really so obedient and should have stayed in Kyoto to be a pug of the shogunate, and let his surname go down to the east country like a dragon Returning to the sea, the lords of the people in Guinea are all professionals who have been tested by wars and chaos, and their ability to foresight before the autumn wind moves is not bad at all.

The so-called former fear of wolves and later fear of tigers want to eat fish but are also afraid of thorns. This is the kind of person who is worried that the Guandong government will order him to overthrow the hungry wolves of Miyoshi's family, turn his face and turn into a tiger and swallow him in twos and twos. The people of the country rushed to the direction that they couldn't agree on and worked hard, and as expected, they were really messed up by them and acted according to their own preferences.

This group of Kinai daimyos boasted how powerful they are, but it really made them fight on their own. There was no one who took the lead, and each of them looked around and was unwilling to be the leader. He can be the last harvester of the battle, and he doesn't think of himself as cannon fodder for the charge.

Waiting left and right for a month without any movement, Yamamoto Tokiyuki was unhappy at the time, and after careful consideration decided to lead an army of [-] into the battle, and stationed in Kita Omi Ika County with great fanfare, posing as if to attack the Asakura and Asai clans at any time. The two allies of Miyoshi's family tightened their nerves and did not dare to act rashly.

This trick is really a coup. It instantly relieved the flank threat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai. With Tokiyuki Yamamoto standing in front of him to shelter from the wind and rain, the small Wakasa Takeda family and Omi Rokkaku family dared to send their main force to join the war across the border. Yamamoto Shi Xing also used this method to show that he has no intention of taking the fruits of victory alone.

In fact, he did this out of necessity. Miyoshi’s defense against the direction of Omi Sakamoto’s march was so tight that no room was left behind. The so-called “gaining wisdom from a fall” has been lost. Once being beaten by Ashikaga Yoshitoki and his Fushiro family, his consciousness was blurred. This tragic situation can really be cured before long experience.

General Mountain Castle, Fushimi Mountain Castle, and Nakao Castle are all near Higashiyama to the east of Sakyo. Miyoshi’s actions show that he is determined to strangle all the water and land routes in the direction of Sakamoto. If he wants to come here, he will kill his head at all costs. , or you just stay in Lake Biwa and enjoy the scenery of the ebb and flow of the tide.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto felt that it would be a great loss for him to lead an army to forcibly break through the Yamashiro country. If he sent too few troops, he would be beaten back if he couldn't break through. If he sent too many troops, he would have to face Sakamoto's key points exposed in broad daylight. In the crisis, the Echizen Asakura family and the Omi Asai family will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to take a drastic action. Instead of being hesitant, it is better to take a step back and calm down the two jumping clowns behind them, so as to make room for others to perform.

The Kanto Ashikaga family’s actions showed that they did not intend to “disturb” and “intervene” in the movement of Kinai, and they were willing to contact people from all walks of life in Kinai to attack Miyoshi’s family. Therefore, Hideji Hatano of Tanba State, Takamasa Hanoi Kunibata, and Rokkaku Yoshiken of Minami Omi , Wakasa Takeda Yoshitaka cooperated with each other, and attacked Settsu Country, the home of Miyoshi's family, from the north, east, and south.

The plan was discussed by the four lords themselves. Tokyuki Yamamoto just provided an opportunity to sit together and discuss the battle plan, and did not interfere with the Kinai daimyo's plan. According to the plan, it was Hideji Hatano who led [-] Thousands of troops crossed the mountains and entered and exited Katsura River near Kyoto, planning to directly attack Kyoto controlled by Miyoshi's family.

The next move was Rokukaku Yoshiken from Omi, who sent general Nagahara Shigetaka to lead an army of [-] troops to threaten Katsuryuji Castle in the Uji River Basin from the flanks. Dangerous places like Akutagawa Mountain Castle in Tsukuk had never been considered at all. Takeda Yoshito appointed Katsuhisa Awaya to lead an army of [-] troops and follow the Rokkaku family to send troops together. Join in the fun and play soy sauce.

The most fierce one was Hatakeyama Takamasa of Takaya Castle in Hanoi. He was known as the "Veteran General" in Kinai and was always proud of his vicious fight with Changqing, so he recruited [-] troops from Hanoi. The [-] army and the [-] army who secretly contacted Ji Yiguogen launched a fierce offensive against the Miyoshi family who had eroded a large area of ​​Hanoi's territory.

Not long after the war started, Sokatsu Naito escaped from Yagi Castle and asked for help from Miyoshi's family. Miyoshi Changqing keenly sensed that the wind was not in the right direction and they seemed to be in danger, so he ordered his son-in-law Miyoshi Yoshiko to lead an army of [-] troops to the Arashiyama Castle in the upper reaches of the Katsura River. His task is to defend against the invasion of Tanba Kingdom Hatano Hideji.

Miyoshi Yoshiko's military level is quite impressive, and he is often praised as "Nixiu No. [-]". It can be seen that he is outstanding among the lame generals of Miyoshi's family. Together with the experienced general Naito Sokatsu and his subordinates Three thousand troops can steadily suppress the offensive of Hideji Hatano's troops. [

In addition, Matsunaga Hidesho was appointed to lead an army of [-] people to launch a sniper attack on the people of Yamato. The Shigi Mountain Castle located on the border of Yamato played a huge role in containment. Jiuxiu seized the opportunity to launch a strategy against the Yamato Kingdom, and in twos and twos, the minds of the gang of monks and soldiers who made the strategy were confused and no longer united as before.

Then Miyoshi Changqing personally led an army of 1 troops to sit in Katsuryuji City to deal with the [-]-man coalition forces of Liujiao and Takeda who attempted to invade. Because the coalition forces moved quickly and slowly, some actively tried to defeat Miyoshi Changqing. Celebrating the prestige of success, some are careless and unwilling to make great efforts to fight against the Sanhao family. If the soldiers are not in the same mind and their will is not unified, they will give the Sanhao family a chance to defeat them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the people of Yamato were forced to retreat, Matsunaga Hideo detoured from Yamato to the southern part of Yamashiro, threatening Nagahara Shigetaka's [-] troops from the flanks. Qing leads the army to forcibly cross the Yodo River and joins the [-] Rangers under Matsunaga Hideo. The frightened Nagahara Shigetaka thinks that Miyoshi Changqing still has a backup, and hastily issued an order to withdraw the troops and return to Guanyin Temple City by the same route.

This war was fought from the beginning of the sixth year of Yonglu until November at the end of the year. In the Arashiyama Castle battle that broke out in the western suburbs of Kyoto, Miyoshi Yoshiko and Naito Sokatsu defeated the vanguard of the Hatano army and successfully expelled the people of Tanba from Yamashiro. Pushing back to his lair, Naito Zongsheng saw that the situation was very good, and immediately proposed to take the opportunity to cover up the past and break into Tanba Kingdom to regain the lost control.

This proposal immediately received a positive response from Miyoshi Yoshiko, and the two armies joined forces to pursue along the direction in which the Tanba people retreated, and captured the Yagi Castle of the Naito family and continued to attack the city non-stop. The Tanba people who retreated back to their respective territories did not expect the Miyoshi family He would hit the door unrelentingly, and was caught off guard for being beaten for a while, and retreated in a row.

Several national lords in the eastern part of Danba were forced to surrender, and the fire once burned in front of Hachikashi Castle of the Hatano family. If it wasn't for Miyoshi Changqing's edict asking Miyoshi Yoshiko to accept it as soon as he was good, there might be a fight against Hachijo Castle The joint battle to determine the ownership of the Tamba Kingdom has far exceeded Yoshiko Miyoshi's expectations. Half of the people in the Tamba Kingdom surrendered to the Miyoshi family again, making Naito Sokatsu's life much easier.

The [-] troops led by Matsunaga Hideo have always confronted the people of Yamato. He is better at intrigue than war tactics. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the confrontation, he once again consulted with the people of Yamato, and very smoothly bought several powerful people of Yamato , Create turmoil in Yamato to force the people of Yamato to retreat without a fight.

These routes have achieved huge advantages. On the contrary, Miyoshi Yoshiken's army has faced a huge crisis. The [-] troops he led have to face the [-] troops of the Hanoi people alone. His order was to lead Miyoshi Changyi, Miyoshi Yasunaga, Miyoshi Masayasu, Miyoshi Shengzheng and others to guard the front of Beibuki Mountain Castle to ensure that the flanks of the Settsu Kingdom would not be broken by the Hatakeyama Army.

Miyoshi Yoshiken held Beibuki Mountain Castle and the main force of the Hatakeyama Army for ten months. Miyoshi Changqing did not send the long-awaited reinforcements, but kept comforting him and persisted until the Hatakeyama Army withdrew. According to common sense This group of Hanoi people will definitely retreat on their own. They have no scruples about Miyoshi Yoshihide and his army being suppressed and beaten for more than half a year. Half of them are exhausted physically and mentally.

It’s okay if Miyoshi Changqing didn’t expect to be wrong, but Hatakeyama Takamasa just didn’t plan to withdraw his troops, not only didn’t plan to leave, but he also wanted to fight this war as big as possible, so he spent a lot of money to invite eight thousand people from the root The monk soldiers were also in place at this time, and it was in November of that year that a cold winter rain fell, and Hatakeyama Takamasa ordered a large-scale attack.

An army of [-] troops crossed the Haruki River and stormed Beibuki Mountain Castle. The sudden attack caught the Miyoshi army by surprise, but Miyoshi Yoshiken's descendant, Shinohara Nagabo, performed bravely, breaking through the Anmi Zongbo's main formation one after another, allowing the Hatakeyama army to advance. The formation was in chaos for a while, the advantage of the brave general's assault was obvious, but the disadvantage was that the lone army went deep. Shinohara Nagabo charged too quickly and threw the friendly army far away, causing the main force of the Miyoshi army to lose its formation.

Seeing this good opportunity, Yukawa Naomitsu detoured along the upper reaches of Chunki River in an attempt to raid the lone Shinohara army who had penetrated deeply. Miyoshi Yoshiken, who was commanding on the top of the mountain, saw that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered Miyoshi Yasunaga, Miyoshi Changyi, Miyoshi Masayasu, The reserve team of Miyoshi Shengzheng's department was sent out in one go.

They were ordered to save Shinohara Nagabo at all costs, so the new force of the Miyoshi Army rushed into the battlefield with arrogance. At the beginning, they swarmed over as if to forcefully eat the main force. Yukawa Naoko saw that the situation was not good. Regardless of the others turning around and running away, a large group of relatives from Miyoshi's family drove Yu Chuan's army to hide and kill them, as if they planned to destroy Yu Chuan and destroy Hatakeyama's entire army in a short while.

With a large group of people from the Miyoshi family chasing and killing Yukawa Naomitsu, the good luck of this Miyoshi army will come to an end. Anjian Zongfang's headquarters nailed down the Miyoshi army with deep-rooted hatred for the Miyoshi family, Shinohara's troops were forced back after several rounds of onslaught. The fighting will of the Hatakeyama army was beyond the expectations of many samurai. The stalemate of the battle made all the three good generals on the battlefield feel worried.

Originally, the Miyoshi army on Beibuki Mountain was at a disadvantage. Miyoshi Changqing gave him the task of defending and defeating the best. Miyoshi Yoshin had a bit of perfectionism and chose to defeat the Hatakeyama army by fighting less and more. Such a reckless move made The formation of this army was pulled apart and disjointed into several sections. Standing on Beichuan Mountain, it can be clearly seen that the three good troops who are in a good situation can no longer look at each other from head to tail.

Miyoshi Yoshiken is very regretful, but he has a way to retreat. The seemingly imposing Miyoshi army has already been physically and mentally exhausted, and the current tailwind still does not notice the decline in physical strength for the time being. As long as he announces the retreat on the spot, the morale will decline. There is a possibility that the entire army will collapse in a short time, so when everyone hoped to hear Miyoshi Yoshiken's "retreat" general order, but this general with excellent intelligence and all-round ability in civil and military affairs hesitated.

No one can tell what kind of mood Miyoshi Yoshihyun sent the reserve team. When he sent all the reserve teams to the front line, there were only more than 100 people riding back to the guards around him. I really don’t know Miyoshi. With what kind of courage did Yixian stand on the mountain of Beichu and commanded decisively, it was his negligence that brought great danger to himself.

Near Kuruta Pond on the other side of Beibuki Mountain, it happened to be in a blind spot where Yoshiken Miyoshi could not see at all. There was an army of 500 people sneaking up on the main formation of Yoshiken Miyoshi who was commanding. The elite group of monks is equipped with a powerful combination of [-] monks holding iron cannons and [-] naginata monks guarding them.

"Oops! How could there be a team of monk soldiers, and the iron cannon team, quickly escape!" It was too late when Miyoshi Yoshiken caught a glimpse of the monk soldier squad.

Gen Laizhong suddenly appeared from behind Miyoshi Yixian, and took advantage of the gap when the Miyoshi army did not react at all to complete the first round of close-range volley. , The Miyoshi Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The dead and injured accounted for three to four out of ten of the hundreds of horses and Huis.

"Bastard! How come there are so many monks!" Yoshihide Miyoshi didn't think about running away. His first reaction was to draw out his sword and order the horses to attack. The cunning Gen Laizhong seemed to have expected that he would use this move. Hundreds of naginata monks and soldiers in gaomaru and wooden clogs stood upright, blocking the front of the horse Hui crowd.

Unsurprisingly, the hasty assault ended in failure. Miyoshi Yoshiken immediately ordered the horses to turn around. He knew that at this time, turning around the pier and escaping had a high chance of escape. A huge shame, he would rather die than suffer this kind of disgraceful humiliation, it is better to take advantage of the gap between the volleys of the iron cannons to launch an assault to disperse the iron cannons of the Genlaizhong.
