Pillars of the Wu family

A water battle broke an undefeated myth, proving that the so-called invincible god general Oda Nobunaga is nothing more than that. The warriors who were still afraid of the undefeated strong became agitated, thinking about sweeping Kinai in the past two or three months Could it be that the samurai family is a big parallel importer, but luckily, they happened to pierce the paper tiger of the Liujiao family, and copied the previous trick all the way, scaring the Miyoshi family back to Shikoku.

The first one who set off a rebellion against the Oda family was Saito Ryuko, the former lord of the Mino Kingdom. Since Inabayama Castle suffered a crushing defeat, he fled to Nagashima City for refuge and then came to Kinai to be attached to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu as a guest general. His life was not good. If he is bad, he will eat his own food. As the lord of the subjugated country, he always thinks that one day he will return to his hometown and regain his foundation. Therefore, this person has been engaged in the great cause of anti-Oda all these years, and actively encouraged the Miyoshi family to fight against the Oda family. success.

Last year, the Oda family suddenly supported a general and marched westward to Shangluo, sweeping the Qianjun all the way. Miyoshi's family, which fell into civil strife, also became the main victim in this ebb tide. Miyoshi and Miyoshi escaped one after another. Matsunaga Hideo and his family surrendered, and Saito Ryuko, who was not loved by his grandma and uncle, stayed in Sakaicho and continued to hibernate and wait.

This wait really made him wait until the opportunity came. The overjoyed Oda Nobunaga did not choose to endure for a while to stabilize the foundation in Kinai, but soon joined forces with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Nijo Haruyo who were also overjoyed to participate in the abolition of the emperor to cleanse the courtiers In the vortex of the coup d'etat, the situation in the country suddenly changed suddenly, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was about to fight against his relative Ashikaga Yoshitoki.

Oda Nobunaga attacked Sakamoto with all his troops in Kinai, and even took advantage of the excitement of the Oda water army defending the coastline to sneak into the inland river to attack Sakamoto Port, which was equivalent to emptying the long coastline of the entire Osaka Bay.Against this background, the first batch of landing troops of the Miyoshi Army quietly landed on the land of Settsu by boat.This return to Setjin was very cautious.Fearing that one day they would lose everything by accident, they only took five hundred troops to serve as the vanguard and stationed in Setjin Kingdom, and this Saito Longxing was in charge of supporting them.

It wasn't until the end of the Lake Biwa water battle that Saito Ryuko took over the second batch of 1000 troops. Knowing that the Oda water army was wiped out from the commander-in-chief Yoshitaka Kuki and no one survived, he wrote excitedly overnight to the Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was waiting in Awa country, persuaded him to lead his army back immediately to join the great cause, and the next morning.Saito Ryuko raised the banner of rebellion and led an army of [-] or [-] to attack the territory of the Settsu country's pro-Oda.

The Settsu chaos was completely beyond Oda Nobunaga's expectations, and what was even worse was that Miyoshi Sanren and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu made a comeback. Although they only brought back [-] troops from Shikoku, they joined together Fuji Tatsuko's department is a huge military force that can determine the ownership of Settsu Kingdom.

Relying on the inspiration of the old department for many years and the influence of the governor of the Miyoshi family brand, there are not a few people in Settsu who turned against the water. Ikeda Katsumasa re-cut at the instigation of the genealogist old Araki Murashige. This kind of samurai who switched back and forth with subordinate forces announced their surrender earlier.Yoshiaki Ashikaga's guardian of Settsu, Yoomasa Wada, was expelled from Settsu Kingdom in less than half a month.Settsu country changed hands again.

Then the ones who rebelled were of course Liujiao Chengzhen and Liujiao Yizhi, the father and son who lived in the mountainous area of ​​Koka mountain and became the king of the mountain. Originally, the products in winter were not very rich. Yancai has survived the whole winter, and finally looking forward to the opportunity, of course he has to get in the way. Of course, with the strength of the [-] troops of the Liujiao family, he just shouted slogans to get his mouth full.

Tsutsui Junkei, who has always been hostile to Matsunaga Hideo, is also rebelling. The privilege that Oda Nobunaga promised to Matsunaga Hideo is taken by Yamato at will. It is strange that the Tsutsui family and the Nandu Liuzong and Kofukuji behind them can agree, and suddenly announced that they will take it back The lost territory launched an attack on the part of the territory controlled by Song Yongxiu.

The last one who made the most noise was Hatakeyama Takamasa. Last year, when the Kwantung General’s Office learned of the situation in Kinai, Honda, who was actually Hatakeyama Takamasa, was writing him a long letter, persuading him to join the Kwantung government’s camp. To avenge Ashikaga Yoshiki, by the way, attached is a [-]-kan Bunyongle money deposit certificate issued by Qianya, which can be withdrawn at any time in Sakaicho, or exchanged for equivalent military equipment, food, grass, weapons and other necessary items.

I don't know if he was moved by his righteous words, or simply because of money's face, Hatakeyama Takamasa readily agreed, and in less than half a month, he mobilized Hanoi people and Ki Yigen with [-] troops to rebel. , This is amazing, Hatakeyama Takamasa's reputation is too loud and his bones are too hard, and the well-known anti-Miyoshi fighter suddenly became an anti-Oda, and the faces of the people in Kinai are even more exciting.

A long rebellion broke out in the rear, forcing Oda Nobunaga's Sakamoto Raiders to die, so the Kinki overlord abandoned his allies Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikage unjustly, and led his troops westward to attack the Settsu Kingdom The rebellion in Hanoi and Hanoi launched a new round of military suppression, and the siege of Sakamoto Castle was naturally lifted.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting in Kyoto, was in a hurry, and letter after letter urged Oda Nobunaga to return to the army and attack Sakamoto Castle. He already knew that the emperor of Masakimachi did not intend to seek refuge in a distant country. The court announced that Ashikaga Yoshitoki was still a villain and villain that the world wanted to discuss.

It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga didn't dump him at all. An empty shell general didn't understand both military and political affairs at all. The defeated battle caused fires everywhere in Kinai. Who knows how depressed he was. On the second day after Oda Nobunaga sent his troops to the west, Asakura Yoshikage and Asai Nagamasa came to Kyoto in person to cry, and Oda Nobunaga deceived his allies to abandon The friendly army has committed a great crime, and I ask His Royal Highness to make the decision for them.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki patiently understood the situation, and found that the cause of the incident was the outbreak of rebellion in Settsu, Hanoi, and Yamato. Oda Nobunaga was worried that there would be difficulties in the rear, so he sent his troops westward, leaving only a password to pass on to the North Road. The coalition forces of Asai and Asakura then withdrew all of Minami Omi's forces.

Oda Nobunaga's sudden decision shocked the two families. When the Oda army retreated, they were still attacking Takashima County. When they received this password, Nakajo Tokihide took two Wan Dajun rushed over angrily, and if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have given his life to Takashima County.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki patiently listened to their cries, and he probably knew what was going on, but he didn't even have a big soldier in his hand, and Akechi Mitsuhide's [-]-year-old boy who took refuge in Oda Nobunaga almost pissed him off. As an empty general, he also wanted to protect the reputation and legitimacy of the deputy general, and with some reluctance to comfort him with a few words of neither arrogance nor discouragement, he would send them back at the moment of victory.

As the shogun, he was repeatedly ignored by the deputy general, and he was sued by a daimyo to the imperial court. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was in a very bad mood. If it weren't for the Kanto Ashikaga Yoshitoki who stared at him so covetously, he would definitely teach this arrogance a lesson. The guy, the reason is the sudden twists and turns in the good situation in Kinai. When the wind is going smoothly, the hidden dangers are suppressed by a few words, and now there are irreparable cracks when the wind is against the trend.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was in a very bad mood. He found that since he left Kofuku-ji Ichijo-in, it seemed that everything he did was wrong, and any evil thing could be done to him. The public side called it Evil, and the superiors thought that the one called Evil was the decapitated Eigosho Ashikaga Yoshinaka, and the folk rumors were full of malice.

Annoyed by bad luck and frequent bad luck, the good-natured Kinei was disturbed and leaked everywhere, but he didn't want him to step on his brother's corpse to become a general, blindly resenting that others did not give him the opportunity to display his talents, so that he could create an ideal The perfect shogunate system in the book, when he turned around and turned to resent Ashikaga, without him, there would be no Sakamoto's fiasco, and he would not have the current troubles. The angle of anger can be called tricky.

Oda Nobunaga, who was fighting the turmoil in Settsu, suddenly returned to Kyoto in a hurry. He brought very bad news. Huge movements came from Hida and Shinano countries adjacent to his hometown Gifu. There was also a military change in the direction, and the Hatakeyama family also set off riots at this time, and Nagayama Yoshizuna, the governor of the puppet family, was killed in succession.

Noto’s guardian Hatakeyama Yoshizuna lost power in the [-]th year of Yongroku. The head of the Noto Hatakeyama family, the old Onjing family, was expelled during the Hongzhi Rebellion, and the power of the family was controlled by the other six families with seven members. Lianlian and You Zuo Xuguang, they are righteous brothers. You Zuo Xuguang married Chang Lian's younger sister as his wife, meaning brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

But the relationship between the two is very bad, because Chang Lilian is firmly opposed to the Guandong Gongfang, while You Zuo Xuguang advocates being pro-Kuandong Gongfang. The incident of brother Zhang Lian, this incident caused the already unstable Noto Hatakeyama family to experience another turmoil. Chang Lianlong, the eldest son of Chang Lian, tried to fight back, but was outnumbered and had to abandon the city and flee. The Tian family sought asylum.

Following the military changes in Hokuriku, Hida, and Shinano, there have also been strange military actions in the Kanto. According to the rumors of businessmen who have been traveling on the Yu-O line all year round, the major ports of Yu-O are under martial law almost at the same time, and the castle towns in various places are in the same place. A curfew was enforced, and the military service recruitment notices issued by various places were posted in the villages and alleys.

These are not important, at least it is not a problem compared with the next news, Ashikaga Yoshitoki announced in a high-profile manner that Fengzheng's pro-machi will go to the Emperor's Court, and the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom will go to Luoyang to enter Beijing and knock on the gate of heaven!
