Chapter 289 Uesugi constitutional government's request for help
Uesugi Kenmasa had already caught a glimpse of a tall young man walking slowly towards him. He thought he was a backward relative of the Nagao family, but he didn't expect it to be Kira Yoshitoki, a famous general who was highly praised by the shogunate. He quickly leaned down respectfully.
Bow down: "Kanto Commandery, Military Chief Kenmasa Uesugi has seen Wuweidian! I wish Gongfangdian's family a prosperous family and Wuweidian's military fortunes long-term!"
Seeing that Uesugi Kenmasa was so good at talking, Kira Yoshitoki's expression immediately turned cloudy and he said with a smile: "Okay! You two, please get up! I will mention the Uesugi family's respect to my shogunate to the Kōhoden."
"Thank you Takee-don!" Regardless of their family status, origin, or official rank, the Uesugi family was not qualified to show off in front of the Kira family, so they had no choice but to pay homage to the Ashikaga family's Goichimon.
The head of the Uesugi family is the Kanto family, which is now shrunk in the Shimonoseki Furukawa Imperial Palace. Ever since the feud between the master and servant occurred during the Eiko Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, during the Eiko Rebellion, the Kanto governor Kenmi Uesugi was ordered to kill
The Ashikaga Mochi clan, the Duke of Kanto, died, and the Ashikaga Mochi clan's youngest son, Ashikaga Shigeji, killed Uesugi Kentada during the Kotoku Rebellion. From then on, the two families turned against each other.
Although it was later eased through the efforts of Sosada Uesugi, the relationship between the two parties was no longer a master-slave relationship. During the Kagotsu Night War, Kensei Uesugi and the Ashikaga Haru clan formed a military force similar to that of an allied force. The commander of the allied forces was Kensei Uesugi, not Ashikaga.
Qingshi, from this we can see how severe the relationship between the two parties is. The imbalance in the political status of the two families is also the source of repeated turmoil in Kanto over the past 150 years.
Uesugi Kenmasa's cultural level is very high. As one of the leading cultural figures in Kanto, his attainments in poetry and tea ceremony are no less than those of celebrities in Sakai Town. His boring jokes can be made interesting and not boring at all. Nagao Kagetora also
I feel that this Guandong Warlord is really not suitable to be a martial artist in troubled times. If he had been born a few decades earlier and had been a Peaceful Warlord, he would have been very outstanding.
Of course, his level is second to none in Kanto. There is still a gap between him and Kiragi, who has been at the top level in Kyoto all year round. At least he doesn't know what ancient and modern teachings are, and he himself and Hosokawa Fujitaka have both received ancient and modern teachings.
It's no problem for him to be completely accomplished in waka.
Kira Yoshitoki's face has long been cultivated, and he did not have any emotional fluctuations when talking about Furukawa Kōkata's experience. He sighed with pity: "My family has also heard about the great turmoil in Kanto. After this disaster, the Furukawa Kōkata family finally ended up with the Hojo family.
It’s such a pity that they came together!”
Not to mention that no one knew that Murasame was stolen by him. Even if he was discovered, he would never admit that he did it. Naturally, the inside story of the great chaos in Kanto will always be submerged in the tide of history and unknown. He deliberately mentioned this
I also don’t want this cultural person to keep talking about outdated topics in Kyoto.
Kensei Uesugi indulged in having fun and ignored government affairs, but it did not mean that he had no political IQ. He said knowingly: "I never expected that Mr. Furukawa would commit himself to a thief and marry a daughter of the Hojo family as his wife. The samurai family in Kanto is very hostile to Mr.
His Highness is very disappointed and dissatisfied with his unwiseness..."
"Hmm!" Kira Yoshishi made a calm gesture towards Nagao Kagetora, pretending to think: "Then, who is this Hojo clan who brought disaster to Kanto? Could it be that he is a remnant of the Hojo clan of the Kamakura shogunate?
?That’s not right! I remember it clearly written in the "Taipei Chronicles" that Nitta Yoshisada destroyed the Hojo clan... Then where did the Hojo clan come from?"
"Speaking of this Hojo clan, I know very well. His family has nothing to do with the Hojo clan. It was more than forty years ago that the Hojo clan claimed the title of Hojo clan in order to gain the title of the samurai family that ruled Kanto! But this family was originally
The trick of changing the name of an outsider will not be recognized by the Kanto samurai family. On the contrary, more samurai families are disgusted with the style of the Hojo clan!" When talking about old things in Kanto, you can't avoid the local snake of the Uesugi family. Uesugi Kensei certainly knows the history of the Hojo clan.
It is only natural to attack this life-and-death enemy.
"This Hojo clan was originally a member of the shogunate's deacon Ise clan. He was born in the Binchu Ise clan. The first family governor was named Ise Choji Rindo Sounan Sozui. With the support of his nephew Imagawa clan, he quickly established a foothold in Izu...
…”
Hojo Soun's original name was Ise Moritoki, also known as Ise Naga clan and Ise clan Shigeru. In his early years, with the help of the clan Ise Sadamune, he served as the shogunate's chief minister. He was mainly responsible for the shogunate's internal and external affairs for the guardian daimyo, that is, diplomacy.
The meaning of official.
When the Onin Rebellion broke out, the Ise family, which belonged to the Eastern Army, obeyed the order of the Eastern Army commander Hosokawa Katsumoto and asked Ise Toki's sister Kitagawa Don to marry the general Imagawa Yoshitaka who also belonged to the Eastern Army system.
, in order to strengthen the cohesion within the Eastern Army system, this Kitagawa-don was also very ambitious. Just a year after getting married, that is, in 1471, he gave birth to the eldest son of the Imagawa family, the Imagawa clan.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. In his heyday, Imagawa Yoshitada died in a raid by the people of Yuejiang. The six-year-old Imagawa family faced the challenge launched by his cousin Olu Nomanman who came from a different family. The governor of the family
His position was in danger, and Masamoto Hosokawa, who had just succeeded to the throne, immediately ordered Ise Mori to go to Suruga to eliminate any signs of possible civil strife in the Imagawa family.
There is a reason why Hosokawa Masamoto is so concerned about the Imagawa clan. Historically, the Suruga Imagawa clan has been the first line of defense to defend Kantō from invading the capital. The Kantō princes have had the ambition to seize the post of shogun for generations, and they have long been a stranger to Sima Zhao.
As we all know, as the actual leader of the shogunate, Masamoto Hosokawa naturally paid special attention to the stability of this line of defense.
The civil strife in the Imagawa family soon disappeared, and it was the first time that Ise stepped onto the political stage during his prime. At the same time, it also left a deep impression on Hosokawa Masamoto, laying the foundation for his subsequent rise.
During the civilized years after the Onin Rebellion, the minister's minister, Masachika Sanjo Koji, was very active as a close associate of Ashikaga Yoshinaga, the ninth shogunate. His wife was the sister of the shogunate deacon Ise Sadariku, and his son Masaru
After the Ming Dynasty coup, Oyamachi Sanjo Mino served as a close minister of the 11th shogun Ashikaga Yosumi.
The main wife of this Masachika-machi Sanjo Mino was the eldest daughter born to Imagawa Yoshitada and Kitagawa-don. She was called Kitakura-den, that is, the niece of Ise in his prime.
After Ise Toki resolved the Imagawa civil war and returned to the capital, it was convenient for the shogunate to publicly announce the marriage of Ogasawara Masakiyoshi's daughter. This woman was Hojo Ujitsuna's mother, Ogasawara Masaki's son Rokuro, his brother Ogasawara Mototsuki and others.
Later, he went to Kanto and became the consolidated minister of the Hojo clan.
Ise Toki subsequently returned to the shogunate and served as a shogunate. When Sanjo Mino of Shouchimachi married his niece Kitakuraden, he suddenly resigned from the shogunate and went to Izu because he received an order from Masamoto Hosokawa.
.He was ordered to disrupt the peaceful and peaceful Kanto under the "Dubai Harmony".
Hosokawa Masamoto did this not because he had a hole in his head, or because he gave up treatment, but because the special system of the Kanto government formed a "Kanto shogunate" that was independent of the Muromachi shogunate, with independent military command power, and disputes
Judgment of lawsuits, land adjudication, settlement of palaces, increase of land seals, encumbrances, reduction of seals, changes in land transfers, etc. all belong to the exclusive power of the shogunate.
After the outbreak of the Onin Rebellion, Kantung also experienced a series of baptisms such as the Yonghyang Rebellion, the Xiangde Rebellion, and the Changxiang Rebellion. The martial arts families in Kanto gradually deviated from the pursuit of independence under the banner of the Kanto Gongfang to internal struggles for power.
This is also a strategy that Ashikaga Yoshimasa and Hosokawa Katsumoto have been planning for a long time. This includes the establishment of Ashikaga Masaichi, Lord Horikoshi.
Due to Horikoshi's lack of appeal and his plan to disrupt Kanto, Hosokawa Masamoto, based on his father's strategy, chose to use the special influence of Ise's heyday on the Imagawa clan to enter Izu and gradually penetrate Kanto.
Internally, its original intention was to act as a "stirrer" in Kanto and make Kanto more turbulent. The more chaotic Kanto is, the safer the shogunate will be. This is a lesson learned by generations of shoguns.
The plan was executed very well, and Ise Toki also gained a firm foothold in Izu along the way. He also intimidated Miura Michizun of Sagami to gradually encroach on the Uesugi family's territory. However, at this time, the death of the main backstage officer Hosokawa Masamoto suddenly disrupted the situation.
In the overall layout, the three adopted sons were fighting over the inheritance rights and had no time to take care of a small chess piece in Kanto. The problem was temporarily solved until the Battle of Funaokayama and the introduction of the Ouchi Army.
So our little chess piece transformed into a child that no one cared about when Ise was in its prime. We could only rely on the support of my nephew Imagawa clan to lay down Sagami and stabilize the foundation of the Hojo family. Then he became a monk and became a Taoist priest in Ise's prime.
His name was Sounan Sozui. After his death, his legitimate son Hojo Utsuna faced the suspicion of the Kanto people and decided to change the Miao name to Hojo to close the relationship with the local samurai family in Kanto, so the Hojo clan came into being.
"A clan of the Ise clan? Wasn't that Ise Sadataka killed by Miyoshi Nagakei? His relatives? No wonder the shogunate has been indifferent to the expansion of the Hojo family in Kanto. It turns out that there is a clan in the shogunate to support him.
!" Kira Yoshihi sneered, and there was one more thing he didn't say. The Sanjo family of Masachikamachi often contacted the Hojo family, and was also the helper of the Hojo family in the court. This abacus made a snap, no wonder the Hojo family could be so fast.
rise.
"Yes! We, the Kanto samurai family, have nothing to do against the Hojo family. The shogunate does not agree to issue a crusade order, and the court does not agree to designate the Hojo family as an enemy. We can only be bullied! Wuwu..." Uesugi Kenmasa hasn't said anything yet.
After a few words, he started crying. It was really pitiful and irritating for a grown man to cry on his face.
"My lord is a dignified governor of Kanto, but he was bullied by the Hojo family and could not return home. His highness Ryūwakamaru was killed by the cruel Hojo Ujiyasu! He was only eleven years old!" Nagao's chief also called the lord of the family.
Injustice is just like a poor tenant who is being squeezed by a wealthy landlord. His expression is as miserable as possible.
"Yeah, yeah, it's really a heinous crime and cannot be tolerated..." Kira Yoshihi followed suit and then stopped.
"It doesn't seem right? Shouldn't they express their indignation or stand up for us? Why didn't they respond for a long time?" Nagao Kagetora was a little flustered. His lord started crying as promised. According to the plan, Nagao Kagetora would express something, but in front of him
The situation was such that Nagao Kagetora showed anger but made no move.
"You two are tired from running around for a few days, so please go to the annex to rest first!" Ji Liangyi clapped his hands and called a few attendants to arrange accommodation for the two relatives.
Seeing the two people leaving reluctantly, Nagao Kagetora was very dissatisfied. Seeing Kira Yoshitoshi's still disapproving look, he snorted coldly: "Why don't you let me speak? Isn't it Yoshitoshi who wants to fight again?" What's the plan? I must make it clear that no matter what Yoshitsune has planned, I, Kagetora, will never let go of the Hojo clan, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
"Yoshitoki very much agrees with my brother's proposal!" Kira Yoshitoki took out his iconic bat fan and covered half of his face, and said with a smile: "The Hojo family must be beaten. For the sake of the justice of the Wu family, we cannot let the Hojo family go. But not now and not now."
"Why can't it be now?" Nagao Kagetora's eyes widened with anger, like a crouching tiger lying in a large room. The majestic tiger's majesty is overwhelming. It means that you won't be able to leave today unless you explain clearly. (To be continued, please search. Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
