A few days after the military meeting ended, Echigo's war machine began to run at high speed. Notices posted from Kasugayama Castle to Ueno and Hirai Castle declared that they had been punishing Echigo's repeated evil deeds. They not only invaded Echigo without any reason and killed civilians, but also cooperated with Kai Takeda.
Uji's collusion intends to subvert the peace and stability of Shinano, and this incorrigible person will never be forgiven.
The massive propaganda made the Dongguo samurai once again understand the power of public opinion warfare. Kasugayama Castle was already in a storm even before the soldiers and horses moved. Even the people of Kanto who were fighting and killing also listened to the powerful voice from the north.
When powerful neighbors are watching you, you should always be vigilant and listen.
Sagami Odawara Castle also received this news. Hojo Ushimasa took a notice from Ueno and excitedly found the reclusive Hojo Ujiyasu: "Father, please read the notice posted by the Kira family, saying that they are going to attack Echu. This is terrible.
This is really great news! We can take this opportunity to expand the territory of Shanghui Kingdom!"
"Since the Onin Rebellion, chaos and evil have arisen in the world. Now there is a nimbutsu evil sect that has seized the territory of several states in the Hokuriku and has enacted national laws to protect and kill them. The imperial court and the shogunate have repeatedly ordered the samurai to conquer them, but they have not been able to defeat them. Over the past decades, they have become more arrogant and rampant.
We, the samurai family, respected the shogunate and suppressed the side of the shogunate in attacking the rebellious ministers. We did not want to use war against the evil sect. However, in recent years, we have repeatedly violated Echigo, killed my subjects, burned down the temple, and created surprise attacks on Echigo.
The tragedy that followed made me unable to control my anger...
I, Ashikaga Gosushi Saburo, the great minister of the imperial court and the shogunate, have thousands of people under my control. For five years, I have walked on thin ice without any carelessness, and finally built Echigo into a paradise. However, last year, the Kahi Takeda clan colluded with the Sagami Hojo clan, the Dewa Mogami clan, and the Mutsu Ashina clan.
The Date clan and Kaga Ichimumu invaded Echigo, but this ambitious man actually forced more than 110,000 civilians to attack Echigo...
Recently, ironclad evidence of Takeda Ryuho's collusion with the Haikou clan and his intention to rebel was captured at Choenji Temple in Shinano Prefecture. These evil-minded people are shameless and refuse to change despite repeated teachings. They chant the most holy name of the Buddha on their lips, but the evil in their hearts is a hundred times greater.
A butcher with blood-stained hands, the evil of this evil sect is indescribable! If such an evil sect is not banned, it will surely become a cancer that spreads throughout the world. I, Ashikaga Kamisuzaburo, am determined to defeat the evil sect with my own strength. However, all those who are determined to eradicate the evil sect and care about the shogunate can go to Echigo
Join the army."
The impassioned recruitment notice looked more like a show of force in the eyes of Hojo Ushimasa. The Asakura family had been fighting for three generations and had not defeated the Ichikoku clan for decades, but he decided in a few words that it should be banned.
The evil sect led an army to attack in order to alleviate the danger of the people of one side, and his righteous words were so strict that people could not help but be stunned.
Hojo Ujiyasu took this notice, which was only a thousand words, and actually read it over and over again for half an hour without stopping. Hojo Ushimasa couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The Ashikaga family really made a good calculation here. What a fair and upright person."
He is such a good minister who protects the people and the land. He talks about the imperial court and the shogunate. He always thinks about the safety of thousands of people, as if there are many injustices in the world that he needs to save. Is he doing this to save the country?
Do you treat me and other Dongguo warrior families like nothing?"
"Samurai of Togoku? Do I, the Hojo clan, count as a samurai family of Togoku? Just go and listen to what the Bando samurai family says about my clan..." Hojo Ujiyasu laughed at himself: "We will always be outsiders! Even if my father changes the word Miao to Miao.
It won't help if you become Hojo."
As we all know, the Sagami Hojo family is from the Ise clan in Kyoto. Ise Shinkuro was an authentic Kyoto samurai in his prime. Through the intermediary of the Sanjo family in Masachika Town, he established a line with the "half-general" Hosokawa Masamoto and used it to complete the project. The marriage of Ise Kitagawa and Imagawa Yoshitada became an important minister relied on by the Hosokawa family.
Later, Ise Mori went to Suruga to solve the inheritance problem of his nephew Imagawa clan. For the first time, he intervened in Imagawa's internal affairs on behalf of the shogunate and served as the heirloom of the Imagawa family. Ise Mori took the Kyoto samurai Ogasawara clan, Matsuda clan and many others with him. The samurai of the family went to Suruga to serve as the guardian of Suruga. During this period of time, he served as the guardian of the Imagawa family and often traveled between Kyoto and Suruga.
In the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1493), the Ming Dynasty coup broke out that shocked the world. The despised Hino Tomiko and the intolerable Hosokawa Masamoto finally broke out, blocking Ashikaga Yoshisai from Kyoto and supporting Horikoshi Lord Ashikaga Masamoto. It was known that his legitimate son, Tenryuji Kōsakuin Seiko, was the new generation of shogun. This person was Ashikaga Yoshiumi of the Horikoshi clan.
Afterwards, Ashikaga Yoshisai was exiled and lost his influence. The position of the puppet general Ashikaga Yosumi gradually became more stable, and he gradually became worried about the ambitions of his half-brother Horikoshi Shinkota Ashikaga Chachamaru. The bastard born of a maiden had always been of bad character and misbehaved. Ashikaga Masatomo found a wrong place to depose him and imprisoned him in a dungeon. After Ashikaga Masatomo died, he didn't know how to escape from the prison. He secretly killed Ashikaga Yosumi's mother Enmanin. As well as his compatriot brother Ashito Doji, this evil man established himself as Lord Horikoshi.
Ashikaga Yosumi hated Ashikaga Chachamaru very much, and told Masamoto Hosokawa about his anger and worries, so Hosokawa Masamoto determined to eradicate Ashikaga Chachamaru and completely exterminate the Horikoshi family. Hosokawa Masamoto found Ise Moritoki. Let him carry out this important mission. In the autumn of that year, he raided the Izu Horikoshi Imperial Palace and killed Ashikaga Chachamaru, and set a fire to burn the Horikoshi Imperial Palace to ashes.
From that moment on, Ise Toki's mission changed from simply representing the shogunate to appease the Imagawa clan, to acting on behalf of Lord Horikoshi to dismantle the peace agreement between Lord Furukawa and the Kanto governor. , the shogunate’s consistent strategy towards Kanto in the past hundred years has been to cause chaos in Kanto, whether it is indirectly inciting civil strife in Kanto, or supporting one samurai family as an agent to alienate the unity of the Kanto samurai family, in short, it cannot let Kanto calm down.
The peace between the feudal lords reached by Uesugi Sosada and the Ashikaga Shige clan obviously destroyed the established strategy of the shogunate. Therefore, before the Onin Rebellion, Ashikaga Yoshimasa discussed with Hosokawa Katsumoto to send Ashikaga Masaichi to separate the Kanto samurai family. With the occurrence of the coup, Horikoshi's role changed from separating Kanto to a powerful weapon in the hands of Hosokawa Masamoto. Horikoshi's unsuccessful separation action made its own existence value infinitely close to zero. The best way is to eliminate Horikoshi and replace him with more effective means.
Ise Toki took this opportunity to occupy Izu instead of Lord Horikoshi, and quickly captured the entire territory of Izu and the entire territory of Sagami with the dual support of the shogunate and the Suruga Imagawa family. However, with the assassination of Hosokawa Masamoto, the support of the shogunate was lost. The intensity was greatly reduced, and the strategy of Ise Toki came to a standstill, and the basic plan of Izu and Sagami was formed. Later, during this period, Ise Toki became a monk and entered Sounan Sozui, and it took more than ten years to eliminate the Miura Dosun with great difficulty. , then the development of the family business almost stopped, and Ise Soun could only pass away with endless regrets.
His son Utsuna was deeply aware of the family's difficulties, so he changed the Miao name to Hojo and honored his father as Hojo Soun. He tried to show himself as a pure Kanto samurai and tried to get rid of his strong Kyoto samurai aura, but the Bando samurai did not buy it.
Their family's reputation was so disgusted with the fake Hojo clan that they surrendered to the Hojo clan many times but betrayed them many times.
Hojo Ujitsuna's strong temper was blunted to the point where he was finally tricked by his most trusted nephew, Imagawa Yoshimoto. Watching his nephew Imagawa Yoshimoto team up with the speed of Takeda Nobutora, this was tantamount to a fight between Hojo Ujitsuna and Hojo Ujitsuna.
He slapped dozens of loud slaps on his old face, and finally his "good nephew" teamed up with the Hojo family's mortal enemy Nobutora Takeda and the Kanto Uesugi clan to besiege the Hojo family. This good-natured family governor was in shame and anger.
It ends in depression.
Hojo Ujiyasu's temper has also been smoothed out. To be the governor of the Hojo family, you must have a good temper. You must also have very strong patience and tolerance, as well as a perseverance spirit to persevere. Otherwise, you will be criticized by those who are prejudiced.
The Kanto samurai rebelled several times, and even dared to brazenly say that it was appropriate and necessary to create the Hojo family, which made them angry to death.
Just like Hojo Ujiyasu hates Imagawa Yoshimoto who betrayed his father so much, and the Kai Takeda family who is disgusting to the core, but is forced to form an alliance with the two families, sometimes it cannot be followed
Do it according to your personal preference. Just like the Ohta family is naturally willing to rebel. No matter whether they are really rebelling or just want to talk freely, the Hojo family can't do anything to them, and they have to appease their family in a friendly manner.
Reminiscent of the humiliating history of the Hojo family for decades, Hojo Umasa's teeth were almost broken and he said with hatred: "Father, don't say that. Today is different from the past. We must punish those who brought humiliation to us one by one.
I came back for revenge! The child is planning to take revenge on Yi Yao, please let me know clearly from my father!"
Hojo Ujiyasu was not as angry as the young man. He shook his head freely and said calmly: "Matsuchiyomaru! Be calm and peaceful, and don't look at them with hatred. Hatred will make you lose your way, and anger will make you lose
Wisdom! This is the family motto your grandfather passed down to our family before he died. You should always remember this sentence!"
"...Hatred will make you lose your direction. Anger will make you lose your wisdom! I understand, kid!" Hojo Ujimasa bowed down in sincerity.
Hojo Ujiyasu's eyes were as dark as ink and as deep as the sea, and little bits of light passed quickly: "The lord of the Kamui Kingdom, Sakai Yinji, has surrendered to my Hojo family. This is a good opportunity to continue to invade Kamisui under the banner of revenge for the Maritani family.
The country must continue to attack and make constant maneuvers to compress the territory of the Satomi clan until the Satomi clan rebels and surrenders. I want him to understand the feeling of being betrayed!"
Just as Echigo began to take action, a rescue letter came from Dewa Dabaoji Yoshimasu. It turned out that the Dabaoji family, who had twice served as a member of the invading army, was in a new crisis. Shimizu Hizen Morigao led an army to raid the Dabaoji territory, and the station
Behind him were Mogami Yatsura and Mogami Yoshimori. It was obvious that they were trying to kill the donkey.
Kira Yoshitoshi was really dumbfounded when he received this weird letter asking for help. This guy Daihoji Yoshizu was so funny, he actually thought of his nephew Honjo Shigenaga and then climbed up to the Ashikaga family behind him, and went to the Ashikaga family with a shy face to ask for troops.
At the same time, he expressed his willingness to surrender and become his retainer. What's even more funny is that Dabaoji Yoshimasu clearly told Kiragi in the letter that he not only sent this letter asking for help, but also sent a letter to his brother-in-law Onodera Kagemichi hoping for cooperation.
Cooperation and so on.
Dabaoji Yoshizou is a little funny, but that's not the main problem. The biggest surprise was Mogami Yoshimori's attack on the Dabaoji family. I originally thought he would attack Hanhejiang, so the Kira family had no preparations to attack Izuku in the near future, but they didn't want Mogami Yoshimori to do anything.
Mamoru finally chose the Dabaoji clan who occupied the richest land in the village.
Daihoji Yoshizo must have not expected this, so he sent a letter to his brother-in-law Onodera Kagemichi in a panic for help. He was also worried that Onodera Kagemichi would be restrained by Mogami Hachie and would not be able to go south, so he thought of his good nephew Honjo Shigenaga.
An unexpected letter asking for help made Kira Yoshiki overjoyed. He laughed loudly and said: "The flying birds are all good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the running dogs are cooked. The ancients have never deceived me! Don't blame me, Mogami, for not giving you a chance. You guys
No chance anymore!"
Hu Ji asked with a big belly and a smile: "Who are you talking about, Your Highness is so happy?"
"The Dewa Mogami family took action against the Daihoji family, and Daihoji Yoshizog asked for help from Onodera Kagemichi and Yu. These people are really interesting. They actually said in front of Yu that they also asked for help from other people. Don't they know who Yu is?
"Just when he said this, Kira Yoshi couldn't help laughing again.
"It's normal for the people of the country to ask for help from everywhere! It's just that Your Highness has never received such a request for help before! Is Your Highness going to prepare for the battle? I will prepare clothes and armor for Your Highness..." The pot-bellied Hu Ji struggled
When he stood up, Kira Yoshitoki gently hugged his body.
"Yu He once said that he would go out into battle! There is no need for Yu to fight in person in some battles. Just leave it to the generals at the front. Yu plans not to go anywhere during the year, but will stay with you until our child is born."
Hu Ji, with red eyes, leaned into his arms and said softly: "Your Highness! Is this really okay? Will this be discussed by the family members?"
Kira Yoshishi smiled and reassured: "It's too late for them to be happy, so how can they talk about right and wrong? Torahime is the one who is protected by the family! Torahime, please relax! The little fanfare that Yu created outside is just to divert attention and
There is no preparation for a large-scale attack. My brother is also left in Kasugayama Castle to recuperate, so why would Yu go out to fight? Wouldn't it be better to stay with my Tora at home?"
He caressed Hu Ji's swollen belly with a happy smile, and coaxed the little woman to smile with gentle words. Hu Ji was more than six months pregnant and couldn't bear to sit for long periods of time. He only sat with her for a while and then got up to go for a walk.
She has complained more than once that her life is all about eating and sleeping. She wakes up, takes a walk and goes back to continue eating and sleeping. The range of activities is only a few gardens in the main pill, not to mention how boring it is.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked to the garden on the side of the castle tower and saw a young woman standing in the garden in a daze. This woman was fair-skinned and tall. She was in her twenties, but she was dressed like an unmarried woman. Judging from her appearance,
But she can also be called a beauty. Her frowning expression makes people feel pity for her.
Kira Yoshishi looked at the woman in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Who is this woman? Why have I never seen her before?"
The woman may have noticed that someone was looking over here. She took a quick glance and saw a young man in rich clothes walking slowly with a pregnant woman around. She involuntarily wanted to stay away, but as soon as she took a step, Hu Ji saw him.
She shouted in surprise: "Is it Sister A-lang? Ah! It's really Sister A-lang! Huji misses you so much!"
"Are you...Hu Ji? I didn't expect that you are already married! I heard that Hu Ji married an amazing husband!" A Lang's calm eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he bowed gently and said: "
This must be Hu Ji’s husband, His Highness the Duke of Zhenfu! I, Naojiang Alang, have met His Highness the Duke of Zhenfu!"
"Your Highness, this is Sister Alang that I often mention. When my brother is away at war all year round, only Sister Alang will come over and talk to me from time to time!" Hu Ji walked over slowly and helped Alang stand.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Sister Alang is also a heroic woman! She only returned home in recent years because of family matters related to Yamato's guardianship. Even after not seeing Hu Ji for many years, she thought she would never see Sister Alang again!"
"
"I'm sorry for Hu Yutai's concern. Ah Lang is back to serve in the main hall." Ah Lang replied with a smile that seemed enlightened.
Naturally, she had countless things to say when she saw her good sisters whom she hadn't seen for many years. But seeing Alang's sad face, Hu Ji pouted and complained: "Hey! Brother is so stubborn. Sister Alang is so good! Why?
I have to reject Sister Alang! Hu Ji doesn’t understand why her brother has to swear not to marry, even if it’s just to practice rice rope authority, there’s no need to be so persistent!”
This is a family matter of the Nagao family. Although Kira Yoshitoki is the brother-in-law and lord of Uesugi Masatora, it is better not to interfere in this kind of matter. Even Princess Aya's persuasion cannot get rid of this stubborn brother. Kira Yoshitoki
Can you still force him to get married and have children? Of course, you can't say this kind of thing. Even if you say it, it will probably push him to Mount Koya.
Ah Lang didn't say anything when he heard Hu Ji's complaint, and let her talk with a gentle smile. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was very deep. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, they were still as close as sisters. Hu Ji pulled her back again.
After chatting for a while, he couldn't hold back his sleepiness. When Alang saw this, he got up and left.
Watching Alang's figure gradually leave, Hu Ji yawned and turned around to see Kiragi, frowning and thinking, and asked curiously: "What is your highness doing?"
"I'm just lamenting about my brother's marriage."
"That's right! Since my brother started the army, Sister Alang has served with him for more than ten years. Except for being forced to return to his hometown a few years ago, he has always stayed with him. However, his brother has not touched her for so many years. Isn't it the whole time?
Drinking every day means chanting sutras and meditating all day long. Sister, I have worried about this many times in my letter! But no matter how I try to persuade her, it is of no use. I wonder what will happen if Your Highness tries to persuade her?"
Torahime looked at him expectantly, and Kira Yoshiki could only explain helplessly: "It's not convenient for Yu to take care of such housework. After all, Yu's identity is not only the son-in-law of the Nagao family! I'm afraid of persuading him."
On the contrary, it will have a bad influence. If my brother has bad thoughts, it will have a bad impact on A Lang!"
Hu Ji looked at the garden full of flowers and sighed for a long time: "Hey! What a pity!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
