Warring States Eagle

This time, Ashikaga Yoshiki's emissary Nakado Nobuhide not only brought the shogunate's appointment letter to Masara, but also brought the appointment letter of the public court official represented by the emperor.

And here, I would like to praise the local officials of the Luo family stationed in Kyoto and Sakaimachi for adhering to a prosperity.When he was received by Ashikaga Yoshiki and learned that Ashikaga Yoshiki intended to win over the family, he immediately sent 100 taels of gold to Ashikaga Yoshiki as a donation, and then sent fifty gold to the emperor. He also gave advice to many ministers.

Therefore, under the instigation of the ministers of Kyoto, such as Nobuhide Nakamimon, Maeku Konoe, and Gokichi Kyoko, Emperor Nara also felt that the Luo family was indeed a good name for the public (at least when there were no money and food in the royal family a few times. , Luo’s family all took action to help them in time), besides, in the past, the emperor and the shogunate did check each other in times of glory, but now it’s not the time for the glory of the past after all, even the government and the shogunate have become Those who have no money, no food and even have to flee.So after Ashikaga Yoshiki came forward to help speak, Emperor Nara acted decisively, rewarding Masara himself and even his retainers with official positions.

It turns out that the official positions that Zhengliang has held concurrently include repairing doctor from the fourth position; Dazai Shaoer from the fifth position;This time, the public will appoint the officials from the four ranks down to Dazai Dazhe; Zheng Liang.

Masarai was awarded the official position of Dazai Shaochen, who was the top five, to Togo Heiji.Kakukuma Ishimune was appointed as the middle affairs minister from the top five.Kinoshita Masanaka was also promoted from the sixth-ranked Daicheng of the Ministry of War to the fifth-ranked Shaosuke of the Ministry of War.It turns out that the post of Daicheng of the Ministry of War was awarded to Masahiro Isano.Yoshida Shigemasa was promoted from the sixth-ranked Daicheng of the Ministry of Justice to the fifth-ranked Shaosuke of the Ministry of Justice.It turned out that the post of Da Cheng of the Ministry of Punishment was rewarded to Aguda.Yamamoto Kansuke and Akabane Shinnosuke were respectively appointed as the Dazai Supervisor under the fifth rank and the Dazai Junior Supervisor under the fifth rank.

The reason why the public rewarded these official positions.On the one hand, the areas involved in these official positions are almost all under the control of the Luo family, and the public is just doing a favor at this time. After receiving the opinion, it was obtained after some operation.

Dazaifu is the department that governs Kyushu by the public (corresponding to the Kyushu research of the shogunate), responsible for all government affairs in Kyushu, such as national defense and foreign affairs.The prince is the honorary commander-in-chief, and the second is the substantive chief.Since the right minister Sugawara Michizane, Dazaifu Quanshuai has always been the post of exile and left transfer of ministers.Chikuzen guardian Muto since Kamakura.From generation to generation, together with the Shao'er family, he served as Dazai Shao'er.Later, Zhou Fang Ouchi Yoshitaka, who competed with the Shao Er family, sought the legitimacy to dominate Kitakyushu, and applied to the imperial court for the approval of his superior Dazai Dai Er.Now that Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed, Zhengliang naturally hoped to get the position of Dazai Daier.The result finally came true.

After this operation, the Luo family also obtained the official positions of Dazaifu and Kyushu Tanti, which represent the rationality of Kyushu's local governance.In addition, Ma Shou's acquisition of this official position also surprised Zheng Liang.When he first applied for this official position, Zhengliang actually didn't have much hope. After all, Tsushima Island was not yet the Luo family's ruling territory.I didn't expect the public party to be so straightforward this time, and it was really a reward.This immediately gave Zhengliang the righteousness to put pressure on Tsushima Island and even use force.

certainly.Since the shogunate and the imperial court rewarded the Luo family so much this time, the Luo family naturally had to express something.In addition to continuing to instruct the public officials stationed in Kyoto to implement a Shenglong subsidy of [-] guan each to the shogunate and the emperor, we must also respond to Ashikaga Yoshiki's invitation to go to Luo as soon as possible. After all, this time the Luo family applied for an official position. The reason why the post can be approved is inseparable from the help of this shogun.

Of course, Zhengliang couldn't immediately respond to Ashikaga Yoshiki's call and go to Los Angeles in a moment of enthusiasm.After all, going to Luo this time was not the political Shangluo where Zheng Liang had just brought some entourages into the capital secretly in the previous two times, but he was going to Luo with a large number of troops, under the banner of the Luo family, and went to Luo military with great fanfare.If Shangluo succeeds this time, Zheng Liang will really become a man of the world.

At this time, if he really goes to Luoyang militarily, then there are five paths before Zheng Liang's eyes.

The first is to take the water route, starting from the Bungo Waterway, passing through Sumo Bay, Tosa Bay, Kii Waterway, and Settsu Bay along the coast of Shikoku, going ashore through Sakai Town, and then heading to Kyoto.

The second is the road connecting water and land.Still start from the Bungo Waterway first, then land from Shikoku, follow the land routes of Iyu Country and Sanuki Country to reach the Tanji Waterway, and finally go to Kyoto after landing in Sakai Town via Settsu Bay, or land from Settsu Country, From here, proceed to Kyoto.

The third is to go by water.Departing from Suho-nada, passing through the Seto Inland Sea, Harima-nada, Tanji Waterway, Settsu Bay, disembarking via Sakai-cho, and then headed for Kyoto.

The fourth is completely land.Start from the Nagato country on this week island, then follow the Zhoufang country, Anyi country, Bingo country, Bichukuo, Bizen country, Harima country, Settsu country, and finally arrive at Kyoto where Yamashiro country is located.

The fifth is also entirely overland.It also starts from Nagato country first, passes through Iwami country, Izumo country, Hoki country, Inaba country, Tajima country, Tanba country, and finally enters Kyoto where Yamashiro country is located.

Among the five roads, the fifth road is naturally the most distant one, and along the way you have to face powerful names like the Nizi family, so it is really difficult to walk.These local tyrants and powerful names may not necessarily allow the Luo family's army to pass through calmly. Even the Nizi family, which is an ally of the Luo family, will not just watch the Luo family succeed in going to Luo, especially the successful Shangluo passing through its territory. From Qingjiu's point of view, this is definitely a slap in the face.Moreover, how to ensure logistics along such a long road with mountains and rivers is a huge problem.

The relatively convenient first three roads are all inevitably faced with the Miyoshi family who are in full swing.After the battle with Harumoto Hosokawa, Miyoshi Changqing not only took advantage of the momentum to annex most of the Hosokawa family's territory near Kinki, Kyoto, but also in the Shikoku area, Miyoshi Changqing's younger brothers have also launched operations one after another to cooperate. His brother's actions in Kinki began to establish a stable rear for Miyoshi Chokei in the Shikoku area.The most typical situation is that just a while ago, the family governor of the Shihe family, who had completely controlled the Sanqi country in the Shikoku area, Juhe Yicun (the fourth younger brother of Miyoshi Changqing), sent troops to help his second brother Miyoshi Yoshiken. The Jianxing Temple under Shengrui Castle assassinated Awa's guardian, Hosokawa Chitaka, and made Hosokawa Shinyuki, the son of Hosokawa Chitaka who had not yet served, as the family governor. After that, the Awa Hosokawa family survived in name only, and the Awa country completely fell into the Miyoshi family hands.

At this time, Miyoshi Changqing controls the Kinki area of ​​Kyoto, his second brother Miyoshi Yoshiken controls the Awa country in Shikoku, his third brother Toyasu Azaka controls Awaji Waterway, and his fourth brother controls Sanuki country in Shikoku.The four brothers united together to form the largest territory of the Miyoshi family.If the Luo family went to Luo through the first three roads, whether they took the land route of Shikoku or the waterway along the coasts of the two sides of Shikoku, they would inevitably face the Miyoshi family.And the Luo family's military move to Luo will inevitably have an impact on the Miyoshi family's gradual control of the shogunate and the court. Naturally, the Miyoshi family will not let the Luo family be able to go to Luo successfully.At that time, there will be a big battle between the two.

As for the fourth land route from Zhou Fangguo to Luo, there are tough bones such as Mao Li's house along the way, and it is also difficult to travel.What's more, at this time, to the west of the Luo family is the clan of Tsushima Island, to the east is the complicated Shikoku family, to the north are the Ouchi family, the Nizi family, and the Mori family with the same complicated situation, and finally to the south, the same It is the Southern Kyushu area where the situation is complicated.These areas are all unstable factors that hinder Luo's family from going up to Luo.Therefore, even if Zhengliang intends to go to Luoyang militarily, some unstable factors must be stabilized.
