Pillars of the Wu family

() The visit to Zhongyuan’s family was very unsatisfactory, and his aunt Fang Yutai was very upset. First, he gave gifts and then sealed a sum of Yongle money. The good words were almost exhausted before his aunt forgave him. After repeatedly promising that he would not disappoint his uncle and aunt's expectations, he left the middle court home in despair.

Aju was put on a two-month long vacation by him, and he asked her to go back to Atago's house to reunite with her family first. Before leaving Kyoto, she had to take Sheng Ji for a tour of Kyoto. I was quarreled to death by the little lolita, so I went to visit the upper and lower shrines of Shimogamo Shrine first, then went to visit the famous Toji Temple and Shokoku Temple, and finally Daitoku Temple and Myoshin Temple. It took a whole trip to run down In five days, his boots were almost worn out.

Then I went back to Sakamoto for a little rest, and also took a look at the preliminary preparations for Sakamoto Castle. I received a lot of new news as soon as I returned to Sakamoto Imperial Palace. First of all, it was about the Mikawa Kingdom. At the beginning of September, the cage city of Anxiang City failed, and Oda Nobuhiro became a prisoner in disgrace, probably because his uncle Oda Nobuhiro anointed the soles of his feet and slipped away to do such a dishonorable thing.

Dramatic changes also took place in Kanto. The Furukawa Imperial Palace could not hold back the Hojo family's army, and was easily broken by Hojo Tsunari. Kosuke Kosuke, who had been trapped in the Furukawa Imperial Palace for a long time, died on the spot. Ashikaga Fuji and his mother Mrs. The people all killed themselves, and their heads were sent to Odawara Castle. Presumably Ujiyasu Hojo's face must be ugly.

The worst thing is not the death of Ashikaga Fuji's mother and son. Kanada Takasuke's son and Ashikaga Fuji's uncle Koda Harusuke escaped from death, and fled back to his home with Ashikaga Fujimasa, Ashikaga's younger brother. The Chengguan Sucheng cage city is firmly guarded, and Masashi Toshito is supported as the new Kanto government, calling on the people of the Kanto country to be incompatible with the Hojo family.

When this news came out, Kanto exploded. If there is still doubt about the death of the former Kanto official, then it is certain that the new official, who had been established for just over a month, was killed by the Hojo family. The samurai were filled with righteous indignation and set off the anti-flag, and a new round of Kanto chaos broke out. More than [-] Kanto people spontaneously formed a national coalition to besiege the Hojo family.

Hojo Ujiyasu's decision was also very decisive. He married his daughter to the Imagawa family as quickly as possible, and let his son Yuanfu take the name of Hojo Ujimasa to marry Takeda Harunobu's daughter. To invite two allies to enter Kanto for assistance.

The reaction of the Hojo family is not unpleasant, but the people in Kanto are not vegetarians. Almost all the people in Musashi who surrendered to the Hojo family rebelled. In this way, it was broken in three or two strokes.

Most of the territory of the Musashi Kingdom fell, and the people who surrendered to the Hojo family rebelled again. Even the people who were still subordinate to the Hojo family were shaken. Taking advantage of the situation, he recaptured several cities in the Ueno country that rebelled to the Hojo side, and re-stabilized the situation.

The spread of this news in Kyoto also caused quite a commotion, and the name of "Tianwen Rebellion" was spread. No one would have thought that the perpetrator was just a nine-year-old boy, and the reason was just for fun and stealing. This is something that has never happened in history. Kira Wansongmaru accidentally touched the string of fate.

Kira Manmatsumaru was very satisfied with the efficiency of Hattori Hosho. He first praised a few words, and then asked: "The Astronomical Rebellion broke out in Kanto, this name looks good too! But didn't the Date family in Mutsu just end the Astronomical Rebellion?" ? Kanto is also called Tianwen Rebellion?"

"According to the information of the ministers, the ministers proposed that Mutsu's Astronomical Rebellion should be changed to Astronomical Rebellion, and Kanto's should be called Astronomical Rebellion."

If you want to talk about the major events that happened in Tianwen's 18 years, the battle of Jiangkou that broke out in Setjin this summer must be the first one. Qingyuan escaped with the defeat of the shogunate, and the wealthy families of the four countries represented by the Miyoshi family completely raised their heads. The upper and lower families lost half of Kinki, which was dominated by the main family, the Hosokawa clan. In terms of influence, it was definitely the first battle of the year.

The second place is the "Astronomical Rebellion" just triggered by Kanto. It is said that Hojo Ujiyasu's image in Kanto is very bad. He was portrayed by the folks as a firstborn with two horns, hands like chicken feet, eyes like copper bells, and he likes to eat young children The demons in the heart, the cities of Hojo were uprooted one after another, and many Chinese people who boarded the "Odawara Public Service Account" also rebelled one after another. Except for Kawagoe Castle, Edo Castle and a few other branches of Musashi Kingdom, which stubbornly held on, the rest of the country Most of them have escaped the control of the Hojo family, and Hojo Ujiyasu can only welcome the chaos caused by the Kanto people with anger and incomprehension.

Kansuke Yamamoto took a look at the latest information and was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "His Highness Hojo, the old minister, was also fortunate to meet once. This is a very good family governor and an open-minded person. When I wandered the Eastern Kingdom, I also traveled all over the ten kingdoms of the Kanto, and I have never seen any Highness who can compare with His Highness Hojo."

Kira Manmatsumaru was very surprised to hear Yamamoto Kansuke's high evaluation of Hojo Ujiyasu. It stands to reason that he should be full of praise for Takeda Harunobu. Of course, it may be because of his intervention that he still doesn't know Takeda Harunobu.

Kansuke Yamamoto also said: "The Eight Kingdoms of Kanto are the home of samurai and the birthplace of two generations of shogunate. Only those who seize Kanto can rule the world."

"Oh! That's how it is! My family has been taught!" Kira Manmatsumaru's expression of disapproval made Yamamoto Kansuke quite helpless, teaching apprentices not to be afraid that the apprentice is stupid, but that the apprentice has his own ideas and no longer listens to the master's words Of course Kansuke Yamamoto understands this truth. Kira Manmatsumaru now only thinks about the strong economic foundation and developed agriculture in Kinai, and has never paid much attention to Kanto. There is only so much he can persuade, and it is impossible to go further.

After inspecting the geographical situation of the area where Sakamoto Castle was located, Kira Manmatsumaru returned to the annex of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace with his troops. He had the privilege to live in the annex of the Shogun Imperial Palace, and the Jinggu right of Sakamoto was also taken by the Kira family. , Odate Haruki and Kuchiki Haruzuna took the initiative to find Kira Manmatsumaru to hand over the work of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace. The former directly returned to Cizhao Temple to serve the public, while the latter returned to Kuchiki Valley to handle the affairs of the territory.

A few days later, a series of news from the Eastern Kingdom was received. After the Takeda family experienced the victory in the battle of Shiojiri Pass a year ago, they frequently attacked and suppressed the anti-Takeda people in Saku County within a year and won a series of victories. They successively suppressed the head of Taguchi Castle Neng, Pingyuan Quanzhen of Pingyuan City, and quelled the rebellion of the Chinese people in Ina County, Minami Shinano. The staged victory of the Raiders.

Takeda Harunobu, who had just won a big victory to wash away the haze of the defeat, accepted his brother-in-law Yoshimoto Imagawa's request in early September to strengthen the alliance of the three parties by marrying each other's daughters, but he received it immediately before he was too happy The in-law Hojo Ujiyasu asked for help, followed by news of the outbreak of the Astronomical Rebellion in Kanto. Hojo Ujiyasu, who was caught in the vortex of war, was in danger. He curled up in Odawara City and roared to his two allies for help.

Not to mention the tangled expression on Takeda Harunobu's face, the Suruga Imagawa Clan, also one of the Kosho Shun Alliance, has also undergone new changes. In front of Kariya Castle of the Mizuno family, the Oda family of Owari was very frightened, but it is a pity that the Imagawa family can only stop here.

Because Xisanhe captured Anxiang City and took the opportunity to surrender the Ryoji Liang of the clan, and the neutral Nakajo family, the power of the Imagawa family rapidly expanded, and the rapidly expanding group of retainers brought many laws to Imagawa Yoshimoto. Inconvenience, the powerful group of Mikawa people made Imagawa Yoshimoto into distress again. He was considering how to adjust the internal power division of Mikawa, and he received a letter of help from the Hojo family.

Almost the same as Takeda Harunobu, Imakawa Yoshimoto also had a face of reluctance, but the Kosho Jun alliance had just been concluded, and he had to agree to send troops in order to maintain the alliance. Of course he knew how important the position of the Hojo family was. The original intention of Zhengyuan to send the Shinji Ise long family to Dao Zongrui, that is, the later Hojo Soun to manage the Kanto, and start from Izu, was to block the way for the people of the Kanto to go to Luo.

The reason for the rescue of the Hojo family by the two countries is the same. Once the Hojo family is destroyed, the stable iron triangle just established by the Kosho Jun Alliance will certainly be shattered. Kai Takeda and Suruga Imagawa will also face the danger of being attacked by the enemy. The Kanto War will burn at any time It is unacceptable for Imagawa and Takeda who have just conquered or are in the process of conquering their own heartland. After enjoying the feeling of security on their backs, it is very unaccustomed for them to return to the era when they are always on guard against their backs. .

The turmoil of the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion is gradually fermenting. Although it is thousands of miles away and only understands the situation literally, it can also feel that the entire Kanto is plunged into a terrifying storm, as if a huge explosive barrel has been completely detonated, and the topic of the Astronomical Rebellion is also rapidly Covering up the just-passed Jiangkou battle has become the hottest topic nowadays.

Compared with the civil war of three thousand against three thousand of the Miyoshi family, the joint battle of the samurai family in the Kanto with tens of thousands of people is even more exciting. Such a big move also aroused the vigilance of the Kinki samurai family. Such a big move is comparable to the total strength of one of the legions in the Onin Rebellion, and it is enough to make everyone, including Miyoshi's family, fearful.

Kira Manmatsumaru also has his own thoughts: "The two generations of the Hanoi Genji shogunate did rise in the Kanto region. Who among the giants in the Kanto region has the 'magnitude' to dominate the world? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of what he wrote to Nagao Jinghu earlier. That letter, when I think about it now, is still too impulsive and reckless, and I don’t know what this "Dragon of Echigo" will think about it. Do Nagao Jinghu, Takeda Harunobu, and Hojo Ujiyasu in Kanto have "power"? What about people?"

Note: After seeing this, everyone must know the original intention of Sanhe Butterfly!The chaos in Kanto caused by a joke and a knife is the skill of the little butterfly, and the butterfly's wings will bring some unexpected changes in the future.
