Warring States Eagle

Chapter 708 Undercurrents of the Four Kingdoms

In the 18th year of Tianwen ([-]), in late May, the cherry blossoms had already begun to wither, but warblers were singing everywhere.That was not the immature voice of early spring, but a tactful and melodious singing that flowed into everyone's ears like a clear spring.

This is the courtyard of Matsuba Castle, the home city of Iyo Saiyuan Temple in Uwa-gun, Iyo, Shikoku. The governor of Saiyuan Temple, Saiyuan Temple, is facing the sun-filled south, singing the song "Xuanzong" loudly:

The sun and the moon are reflected in front of the old gate,

The emperor looks at all the officials and ministers,

The people of the Li people are full of grace,

I heard the sound of worship from thousands of households.

The Saienji family originated from Kanin Koki of the Kita family of Fujiwara. Koji’s descendant, Kokei, was called Saienji Temple because he built Biye Saienji Temple in Kitayama, Kazuno County, Yamashiro State. Since then, Saienji Temple has become a family name.Insert a sentence here.Uwazhuang of Nanyiyo was originally owned by the Tachibana family for generations, and was later seized by the Saiyuanji family.In "My Wife Mirror", it is recorded that Xiyuan Temple Gongjing coveted Yuhe County under the jurisdiction of Ju Gongye for many years.Because the Tachibana clan was not defeated, the shogunate did not agree at that time. However, judging from the final result, it still accepted the request of the Kojing, and Uhezhuang became the territory of the son of the Kojing, Tokiwai Imitoshi.Although the Xiyuanji family controls Uwa County, it is still governed by acting officials, and the Xiyuanji family only manages Uwazhuang as the leader.The real settlement in the local area started from the descendants of the Shi family, the Shuliu Gongliang of the Xiyuan Temple family.In short, the activities of the Xiyuanji family in Iyo started from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.The Saizonoji Clan is an active guardian daimyo with Matsuba Castle as its main city and the local wealthy families of the Uwa region under its command.

However, in the Warring States period, the Kono family in the eastern part of the Iyo country, the Utsunomiya family in the southern part of the Iyo country, the Ono family in the central part of the Iyo country, the Ichijo family in Tosa in the south, and the Otomo family in the Bungo country in Kyushu in the west repeatedly invaded the west. The Yuansi family suddenly plunged the Xiyuansi family into decline.

Fortunately, the Xiyuan Temple family welcomed the No. 19 acting family governor Xiyuan Temple Shisong who is known as "all-rounder in civil and military affairs".Under the leadership of Xiyuan Temple, the core retainer group of the [-]th general of Xiyuan Temple resisted the invasion of the surrounding tyrants. [

And Wu Yong has long been praised by all the retainers in Xiyuan Temple, but deep down in his heart, he actually hopes that his literary and artistic talents can be praised by all the retainers.He was tired of the frequent wars among the powerful clans, and he hoped to find a quiet place to sing his songs and write his books.The wish of Xiyuan Temple to be full was indeed realized in the future, after the position of family governor was passed on.In May of the third year of Yonglu, he left Shangluo, Uhe County, to become a monk, and began to write "Liming Tudai" and "Yan Jiqing Ji".After he became a monk in Shangluo, he also made friends with the ministers of the Zong family, and often participated in singing parties (such as participating in the Lian Gehui of the Santiao Gong Dynasty), and finally died in the sixth year of Yonglu, a guest in Kyoto.

While Xiyuan Temple Shichong was singing, the adopted son Xiyuan Temple Gong Guang came to the door at this time and said: "I have something to tell my father..."

"I'm singing!" Xiyuan Temple said sharply, continuing to sing his ballad.

Xiyuanji Gongguang, who knew the habits of Xiyuanji Shichong, had no choice but to sit in the corridor obediently, waiting for Xiyuanji Shichong to finish singing a section of "Xuanzong".

May you return to the Hall of Eternal Life,

Talk about resolving this hatred and comfort.

Xiyuan Temple finished singing like a human being.Fang said: "Come in!" His voice was as high-pitched as when he was singing.

Xiyuan Temple Gongguang respectfully opened the partition.Xiyuan Temple laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha. I let you listen to all the songs I sang. How is it? Are you okay?"

Xiyuan Temple Gongguang looked up at Xiyuan Temple Shichong without the slightest surprise, and replied honestly: "I don't understand ballads at all."

"Hahaha..." Xiyuan Temple Shisong likes the honest character of Xiyuan Temple Gonghiro the most.Two years ago, his only son Xiyuanji Gong Gao died in the battle with the Utsunomiya family at the foot of Asuka Castle. Although he recaptured Asuka Castle and burned it down afterwards, he could not save his son's life.under sorrow.In order to stabilize the uneasiness of the retainers in the family because the governor lost his heir, he adopted Xiyuan Temple Gongguang as his adopted son, and married his last daughter to Xiyuan Temple Gongguang (Xiyuansi Shichong has two daughters, the eldest The daughter is married to Doi Kiyoharu, an important official in the family).Mr. Xiyuansi is honest and filial, and it is precisely because of this that Xiyuansi Shichong adopted him as an adopted son to inherit the family business.

"What's the matter with you?" After calming down, Xiyuan Temple finally asked.

"Father, this is the information that our detective team just sent back from the sea this morning. It is about the Kyushu region, especially the Bungo region." Xiyuanji Gonghiro reported immediately.After finishing speaking, he presented the scroll in his hand to Xiyuan Temple Shichong with both hands.

"Oh?" Xiyuan Temple immediately took the scroll after hearing the words.Immediately opened and looked up.

The scroll mainly records the recent situation of Bungo Country and Hyuga Country, but what concerned him the most is the news about Luo's family.

According to the information, in early May, a Roche family fleet coming from the direction of the Osumi Strait encountered the Ito family's navy in Hyuga Beach off the coast of Hyuga Country.A fierce battle ensued, and ended with most of the Ito family's navy being sunk and the rest fleeing. [

In fact, this Luo family navy is responsible for escorting part of the fourth standing navy ships back to the second standing navy of the Luo family along the coast of Bungo.After ambushing the navy of the Munakata family in Hakata Bay, Chikuzen, Masara assigned some of the seized ships to the Fourth Standing Navy. He ordered the Second Standing Navy to send warships to escort these navy ships back to Beppu Bay in the Bungo Kingdom.

The reason why Zhengliang made such an arrangement at the beginning was that these ships were attacked by the Ito family and other hostile naval forces during the voyage, but the result was really what he expected.After learning that the Luo family's navy passed by the coast of his territory, Yoshisuke Ito immediately mobilized all the Ito's navy to stop it.

It's just that although the land soldiers of the Ito family are good, the combat power of the navy is very average. Under the attack of Luo's family's Pei Luohuo, most of the ships of the Ito family's navy were burned down, and the number of sailors were killed and injured.After this battle, the Ito family completely lost the barrier of the navy, and the coastal area of ​​the Hyuga country was reduced to a paradise for other powerful and powerful navy, which naturally included the navy of the Luo family.

After defeating the Ito family's navy, the Luo's family's navy fleet didn't stay in place for too long. After a short rest, after gathering the captives and captured ships, they continued to set off for the coast of Bungo country.
