Warring States Eagle

Chapter 57 The Envoy of the Chongliang Family

The history of the Chongliang family can be traced back to the era of "Yingren Rebellion" in Japan.

The eighth-generation general Ashikaga Yoshimasa was cowardly and incompetent, and the "leader" Hosokawa Katsumoto was the actual ruler of the shogunate.Ashikaga Yoshimasa was 29 years old and still childless.The disheartened Yoshimasa passed the general position to his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshishi.Unexpectedly, less than a year after Yoshishiki became a general, Yoshimasa's son Ashikaga Yoshishang was born.The position of "Queen Dowager" that should belong to him has disappeared, and Yishang's mother, Tomiko Rino, can't help but get frustrated.She hurriedly found the most trusted important official Shanming Zongquan (also known as Shanming Chifeng), and asked the famous Shanming Bao Yishang to be the general.

Gishi, who has already become a general, of course does not agree, and the "leader" Hosokawa Katsumoto also supports Gishi.The sparks of hostile consciousness on both sides burst out, and the war was imminent.In the first year of Yingren (1467), both parties decided to use force when they saw that they could not persuade each other with words.In the first month, Hosokawa Katsumoto joined forces with 16 famous soldiers from the eastern vassal states, which later generations called the "Eastern Army" to attack Shanming.Not to be outdone, Shanming Zongquan gathered 11 troops from various western vassal states, called the "Western Army", and fought against the Eastern Army in Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor.The 11-year "Yingren Rebellion" broke out.

Daimyo from all over the world began to stand in line based on their own interests.The ranks of the East Army and the West Army continue to expand, and even a daimyo splits and joins two hostile camps, such as the Shiba family, the Hatakeyama family, etc... The main reason why some daimyo decide to join a certain camp is that his enemy has already joined The opponent's camp, so this chaos has become an excellent opportunity for the "public" to avenge their personal revenge.In fact, Toyo Yamana, the second son of Sozen Yamana, betrayed his father and sought the support of the Hosokawa Clan in order to obtain the inheritance of the family.Everyone beat the top, the son beat the father, and the relatives beat the friends. It was a mess, and the fight was exhilarating.

At that time, the Chongliang family was still a branch of the Oda family, and as members of the Kyushu country who could be named in Matsuura County, they participated in the great war at that time.Since Oda Taro, who led the main family and the branch family, has died, the head of the main family is Oda Taro's son, and the branch family is the second son of Oda Taro (in order to avoid affecting the son's inheritance of the family business, Japan generally made the second son a monk. If you ordered him to change his name and spend the rest of his life in a small city rock), the two brothers who had long been at odds had a disagreement on the issue of joining the army, and finally split even more, joining two different camps .The army, which was not very strong at first, became even weaker after the split, and became the "soft persimmon" that others liked to pinch during the war. As a result, the "Yingren Rebellion" was not over, and the vitality of the two families was seriously injured.The once powerful Hizen Oda family has since declined.After three generations of continuous civil war and encroachment by the surrounding tyrants, the two families have been reduced to small tyrants.And the Chongliang family of this generation, under the leadership of Chongliang Zhizong, known as the "East Matsuura Wild Wolf", finally made progress. After continuous conspiracy and alliances, the territory of the Chongliang family was finally expanded several times and unified. All the powerful families from the west of Liaozhang Mountain to the foot of the mountain on the east side of Yegao Mountain have once again become the famous wealthy families in Dongsongpu.

In the afternoon of May 20th, Tianwen Nine Years.It rained lightly all morning and finally stopped in the afternoon.After two hours of rapid marching, the 20 warriors led by Hara Tsuda Hiromune had joined Zhengliang.At this moment, 40 ashigaru and [-] samurai from the Luo family have gathered near the border between the original Fujiwara family and the Chongliang family.And Zhengliang was in the military camp near the checkpoint, listening to the report from the detective who came back from spying on the territory of Chongliang's family.

After hearing this, Zheng Liang was slightly taken aback. When he heard the detective report that the Chongliang family was already mobilizing farmers and soldiers, he originally thought that the other party would directly send troops to his own family, but he did not expect that the other party was going to send him a salute first and then soldiers. Wait, and then immediately sent people to a nearby village to gather hundreds of people to an open space in the woods behind the barracks.Hundreds of people don't have to do anything, they just need to learn how to shout during ashigaru training, the louder they shout, the more rewards they get.During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei dragged trees in the woods to pretend to be thousands of troops, and shouted back hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops. Now Zheng Liang plans to train with hundreds of people in the woods and pretend to be soldiers, and then boil tea in the military tent to scare him. Retreat the strong enemy.

An hour later, when everything was ready, Zheng Liang ordered the envoys from Chongliang's family outside the checkpoint to be invited to the barracks.Then, Masara was sitting on a marching horse that was found in Fujiwara's house. Behind him was a military curtain with a picture of an eagle flying high. With green tea, the entire military tent was filled with a faint tea fragrance.Outside the military tent, 40 warriors stood facing each other, holding their spears obliquely, forming a long spear passage.Through the passage, Zheng Liang soon saw a young man about 25 years old coming to the passage.Seeing the situation in front of him, the young man strolling over was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, walked calmly through the passage of the spear, and came to Zhengliang.Seeing the performance of the visitor, Zheng Liang couldn't help but praise him.

"Foreign minister Chongliang's family Muzuo Kanyou Zuo Erlang Shigezhong sees Your Highness," Muzuo Shigechu bowed slightly to Zhengliang.

Zhengliang smiled and said, "There is no need to be too polite. So you are the son of the wooden Shigeta-sama who is known as the famous minister of Higashimatsuura." According to the report just now, Zhengliang knew this person, and of course it was not because of his outstanding talents. , but it was because of a rumor widely circulated among the residents of the Chongliang family.It is widely rumored privately among the townspeople of the Shura family that the concubine of the current head of the Shura family, Shura Jimune, is the wife of Shigeta Kizo, the only son of Shigeta Kizo.

Speaking of this, I have to introduce the concubine of Takara Zhizong, Yunami.Yunami's father is an important minister of the Oda family. In order to strengthen the relationship with the family's important ministers, Oda Taiguang and Yunami were married when they were very young.When Yu Nami was nine years old, her father was assassinated by Takara Zhizong's retainers, leaving only mother and daughter, and the family fortune gradually declined. As the fiancé Oda Taiguang lost the value of wooing, he even wanted to establish a relationship with the Taiku family. Voluntarily annulled the engagement and married the fourth daughter of the Taijiu family as the main wife.Losing the pillar of the family, Yu Nami had to live with her mother.When Yumi was 13 years old, she met the 17-year-old Kizuo Shigetada who went out to practice. Kizuki Shigetada was attracted by Yumi's beauty, and often took the opportunity of helping Yumi's mother and daughter to meet Yumi. Over time, the two fell in love with each other, but Unexpectedly, Yu Nami's beauty attracted Oda Tako's attention again, and even forced Yu Nami to be his concubine without hesitation.After Muzuo Shigetada learned about it, he immediately prepared to snatch the marriage on the day Oda Taiko married Yu Nami. Unexpectedly, when Kizuo Shigetada was preparing intensively, it came that the Chongliangji sect sent Yu Nami to snatch her, and even planned to marry Yu Nami. Stand as a side room message.

Could it be that Chongliang Jizong was also attracted by Yunami's beauty?No, he snatched the marriage just to humiliate Oda Taiguang, and Yunami was just a tool for him to humiliate Oda Taiguang.Over the past few years, Chongliang Zhizong has already encroached on most of the territory of the Oda family by virtue of his outstanding skills. He obviously has the strength to destroy the Oda family in one fell swoop, but he has not done it for a long time, leaving the Oda family lingering. There are two main reasons , One is temporarily unwilling to prematurely border on the Nagoshi next to Oda’s house, and the other is to use this to continuously humiliate Oda Taiguang, and regard this as a kind of happiness.However, sending Yu Nami's mother to Feiliang City to take care of Yu Nami is the only good thing among the many things Takara Zhizong did.

The two who fell in love instantly became a mother and a retainer. How sad is this?What is even more pitiful is that Yunami, who unintentionally became a tool in the struggle between wealthy families, was first forced to be his wife by a brazen man who abandoned her, but on the day of welcoming her, she was snatched as his wife by the man behind the murder of her biological father. After suffering so much bad luck, she had to endure the humiliation for the survival of her mother.Or, this is a true portrayal of troubled times.

Before that, the matter of the two of them was spread secretly by Oda Taiko's people in the territory of Chongliang's family, and they even said that they were husband and wife.The primary purpose of Oda Taiguang’s doing this is to try his best to save his lost face. What’s there to show off? The relationship of important ministers.In fact, Chongliang Zhizong also heard about the rumors in the territory, but he couldn't behead the sole heir of his family's important officials because of the unconfirmed rumors, so he could only endure it, but he no longer reused wooden loyalties.This time Shigeta Kizuo tried to restore the relationship between the head of the family and his son by sending an envoy, but he never imagined that the real plan in Chongliang Zhizong's heart was to hope that Shigeta Kizoku would be killed by the Luo family during this mission. Dropped and never came back.
