While things are going well in the Yuqiu family's territory, the situation in Kinki is not stable.
After the Miyoshi family completed their suppression of Settsu, they set their sights on Harima, west of Settsu. There are many small wealthy families in Harima, including the Akamatsu and Akamatsu families in the west, the Bessho family in the east, the Kodera family in the middle, etc.
Many wealthy families have their own spheres of influence, and it can be said to be very troublesome to deal with. The Urakami family, which has strong power in the Bizen area, also has a grudge against the Akamatsu branch family because of the deaths of Urakami Masamune and Urakami Aomune and their sons.
The new governor of the Urakami family, Urakami Munekei, has always thought about killing Akamatsu Masahide of the Akamatsu branch family, so he has also gotten involved in Harima. To suppress Harima, it is necessary to invest a lot of military force.
But at this moment, the Miyoshi family discovered that the originally peaceful Shikoku base camp had also experienced turmoil. The Chosogabe family in Tosa, under the leadership of the new leader "Kimewako" Chosogabe Motochika, was making great progress and was wiped out one after another.
The Motoyama family annexed the Kira family and almost unified Higashi Tosa. If they are not restricted, they may threaten Awa and Sanuki, the Miyoshi family's strongholds in Shikoku, in the future.
In Tanba Country in the north of Settsu Country, a big event also happened. Matsunaga Nagayori, an important minister of the Miyoshi family in Tanba, and Matsunaga Nagahide's younger brother, was accidentally killed by Akai Naomasa in the battle with Tanba's Tano family.
Seeking death, the Miyoshi family's Tanba regiment was severely damaged. Matsunaga Nagayori's son Naito Ruyasu was still a 15-year-old boy, how could he withstand the Hatano family's attack? (Matsunaga Nagayori wanted to gain fame in Tanba country.
He married the daughter of Tanba Guardian Naito Kunisada and changed his surname to Naito. His son Naito Yoshiyasu also inherited the official position of Tanba Guardian Dai. In the history of Yu Qiupei's previous life, Naito Yoshiyasu became a great figure.
During the war of aggression against Korea initiated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he served as a Japanese envoy to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty many times. Due to errors in historical records, Naito Ruyasu was mistakenly recorded as a daimyo and Korean historical materials.
The famous "Little West Flying".) As the Miyoshi family continued to retreat in Tamba, the security of the northern part of Settsu Country was also threatened.
So, under such a situation, Miyoshi Nagakei made arrangements. He returned to Shikoku in person to support Aki Kokutora, who was fighting against Nagaso Gabu Motochi. And Tokawa Ichikou led the Sanuki people, Miyoshi
Three people (Miyoshi Nagaitsu, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Iwanari Tomomichi) led Settsu Province and some troops from Kawachi and Izumi, together with the Awaji navy of Anzai Fuyayasu, tried to suppress Harima. Miyoshi's family was in Kawachi, and Izumi was handed over.
Miyoshi Nagakei's eldest son Miyoshi Yoshihiro was in charge. Miyoshi Yoshihide led the Awa clan who came across the sea to stay in Settsu to guard against the Hatano family's invasion.
After seeing that the Miyoshi family was sending troops everywhere without leaving many reserve troops, the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mind immediately became active. Three years ago, he contacted the Rokkaku family, the Kitabata family and the Hatakeyama family to fight against the Miyoshi family, but unfortunately he was defeated.
The strength that they had worked hard to accumulate for a long time was once again damaged. The Rokkaku family was also severely weakened after the riot at Kannonji Temple, leaving Ashikaga Yoshiteru without foreign aid. After three years of hard work and hard work, he finally waited until the Miyoshi family's army was dispatched and was unable to take care of Kinki.
Given the opportunity, the swordsman general once again became active in order to restore the authority of the Muromachi Shogunate.
And the entry point he chose was Yamato.
The Muromachi shogunate of the Ashikaga clan was established in the Nijo Imperial Palace, located in Yamashiro Country, one of Japan's sixty-six kingdoms. Yamato Country, located directly south of Yamashiro Country, is currently under the control of Matsunaga Hide.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru took advantage of the time when the Miyoshi family had no time to take care of him, intervened in Yamato, and supported the Tsutsui family of Kofukuji who had been defeated by Matsunagahide before to raise troops again. However, the Tsusui family had not been the opponent of Matsunagahide before, and they were even less so this time. Ashikaga Yoshiteru
The allied forces of Hui's Fengguo family and the Tsutsui family were defeated by Matsushita Nagahide and fled.
However, Ashikaga Yoshiki is not particularly worried. Relying on the remaining authority of Ashikaga Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiki is not the first time to carry out such support operations, and no one dares to be too rude to him. He has done so three times before
He fled Kyoto and went into exile, but was still able to return to Kyoto in the end. However, this time, what he was waiting for was not a warning from the Miyoshi family or the Matsunaga family, but the army of Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunaga Hide.
Both Matsunagahide and the Miyoshi family have long been unhappy with the Ashikaga General. What they want is a puppet general who is willing to take orders, not a swordsman general who moves up and down every day and is dedicated to restoring the Ashikaga family's former glory.
After the war with the Tsutsui family, Matsunaga wrote a letter to Miyoshi Yoshihide and invited him to send troops together.
It is strange to say that the relationship between the Miyoshi family and the Matsunaga family did not fall into a freezing point because of Matsunagahide's "murder attempt". I don't know that Matsunagahide had a close relationship with the Miyoshi family before (for example, Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunagahide both
maintain a good relationship with the merchants of Sakai Town), or because the Miyoshi family also recognized Matsunaga's strength, or they had to cooperate with the Matsunaga family - anyway, the current relationship between the Matsunaga family and the Miyoshi family is just like that between the British and
The United States is so close. Not only did they form a coalition to defeat Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Rokkaku Yoshihide and others, this time they also marched together to surround the Nijo Imperial Palace.
·
Nijo Imperial Palace was besieged, and the embarrassed Ashikaga Yoshiki hurriedly planned to repeat his old tricks and move out of the imperial court for mediation. After the previous battle of Kyokoji Temple, the imperial court mediated the war with the Miyoshi family for him, allowing him to return to Kyoto.
.
However, this time, Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunaga Hide were unusually stubborn and refused the court's request. They chose a replacement for Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the twelfth generation general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, his younger brother.
The son of Haru's younger brother Ashikaga Yoshimi, Ashikaga Yoshie. This man has no independent opinions and is obedient enough. At first glance, he is a puppet that can be easily used.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was horrified when he learned about this, and realized that this time the position of the shogun was very likely to be lost. He hurriedly sent someone to call the businessmen of Sakai Town, and relied on his good relationship with Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunaga Hide to mediate
This matter. However, Yoshihide Miyoshi, who has always been known as the "Pocket Bag of the Miyoshi Family" because of his good relationship with Sakai Town, did not give face to his business friends this time and still refused the request. It seems that it is ironclad.
I am determined to depose the general.
After learning that Miyoshi and Matsunaga's coalition forces had surrounded Kyoto, Hatakeyama Takamasa, who had always been loyal to the shogunate and the old system, was furious. He raised troops from Kii again and announced a crusade against Miyoshi Chokei, but was defeated by Miyoshi Yoshihiro outside Kishiwada Castle.
The Rokkaku family lost all its prestige after the riot at Kannonji Temple. As the first tyrant of Kinki, he could not even summon the military force of the wealthy family, so he had to lead his family's direct subordinates to Kyoto to support the general. However, Matsunaga Hide was blocked east of Seta and could not approach.
Kyoto. With no choice but to do so, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had to compromise.
In the history of Yu Qiupei's previous life, it was during this operation that Matsunaga Hide killed the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which was known as the Eiroku Rebellion in history. He also relied on this bloody and hot "down to defeat the top" to become the most notorious person in the troubled times of the Warring States Period.
The conspirators. However, in the Yonglu Rebellion in history, the participants on the Miyoshi side were the three Miyoshi who were exploited by Matsushita Nagahide. Miyoshi Changqing and others had already died one after another. In this life, the wise Miyoshi
Naturally, Nagakei would not allow the Miyoshi family to commit the greatest injustice in the world and bear the infamy of killing the samurai leader Ashikaga Shogun. Therefore, he instructed Miyoshi Yoshihide not to harm Ashikaga Yoshiteru. At the insistence of Miyoshi Yoshihide, Matsunaga
Hisahide had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​eradicating the roots and permanently eliminating Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
On May 23rd of the eighth year of Eiroku (1565), four days after the historical Eiroku Incident, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was forced to succumb to the armies of the Miyoshi family and the Matsunaga family, and gave up the position of shogun to Ashikaga Yoshihide.
He himself was placed under house arrest in Makishima Castle by Matsunagahide. The imperial court was also very aware of current affairs, and soon issued an edict to recognize Ashikaga Yoshie's position as shogun, and also gave him the position of guardian of the mountain castle at Matsunagahide's secret request.
.The Yamashiro Kingdom and Kyoto were also controlled by the justifiable Matsunaga Hide, and the Miyoshi family had no choice but to withdraw their troops and leave.
·
Just when Matsunagahide thought he was done, Ashikaga Yoshiteru once again proved that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With the rescue of his retainer Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa of the Rokkaku family, Ashikaga Yoshiteru actually escaped from the heavily guarded Makishima Castle, and even took his eldest son Ashikaga Teruwakamaru with him!
The furious Matsushita Nagahide immediately sent people to pursue him, but was blocked by the Rokkaku army. He watched Ashikaga Yoshiteru fly away from under his nose. He immediately sent an envoy to contact the Miyoshi family again, asking the Miyoshi family to send troops together with him.
Together they crusade against the Rokkaku family who hides Ashikaga Yoshiteru - but are rejected by Miyoshi Yoshiken.
Matsunagahide immediately realized that the escape of Ashikaga Yoshiteru must be related to the Miyoshi family. He sent ninjas to investigate, and found that many of the guards of Makishima Castle neglected their duties and let Ashikaga Yoshiteru escape on the day of his escape.
They killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru and fled shortly afterwards. Matsunaga Hide thought they were absconding out of fear of crime, but traces of several of them were found in Iimoriyama Castle, the home of the Miyoshi family. It became clear that it was Miyoshi Yoshihide who ordered
They let Ashikaga Yoshiteru go to Rokkaku's house.
As expected, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who wanted to revive the Ashikaga Shogunate, immediately declared that Matsunagahide was a traitor after escaping from danger, and Ashikaga Yoshie, whom he supported, was also a "pseudo general" and asked the daimyo cavalry from all over the country to attack Matsunagahide and recapture Nijo for him.
Imperial Palace.
Suddenly realizing it, Matsunagahide finally realized the problem. The reason why Miyoshi Yoshiken handed over the Yamashiro Kingdom to him was because he wanted to push him to the forefront and put him on the fire. But at that time, he was obsessed with power and was full of thoughts.
They are the center of power that controls the world - the Nijo Imperial Palace and the imperial court. Matsuzaki Nagahide, who relied on conspiracy to gain control of Yamashiro Kingdom, shot himself in the foot. He became a target for daimyo everywhere, and also became the target of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
