During the Kiragi period, the Honjin was moved from Mt. Takadate to the Shohoji Temple outside Mipo Castle, which was used as a resort. This annex was built in the early Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was originally a temple founded by Soto Sect monk Muji Liangshao.
The core temple of the Soto Sect in the Uyu region has been of the same type as Eiheiji Temple and Sujiji Temple since its establishment. It enjoys the style of Uyu Ryogoku's main temple. It is said that there are 508 final temples in Uyu Ryogoku.
However, with the wave of strife in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Kanan Dynasty disrupted the Ashikaga clan's power and divided it into two. The second-generation family governor of Oshu Kira, the Kira Sada family, served as the Oshu governor, subordinate to Ashikaga Naoyoshi, and another Oshu governor, Hatakeyama, subordinate to Ashikaga Takauji.
In Takakuni, the father and son of the Hatakeyama Kunushi family started an internal strife. The Kira Sada family attacked Iwakiri Castle and forced the father and son to commit suicide. Kitahata Yoshinobu of the Southern Dynasty took the opportunity to capture the Oshu national capital, and was later defeated by the Kira Sada family and regained the national capital.
Later, the Kira Sada family died of illness, and his son Kira Mitsuru inherited the Oshu governorship. The Hatakeyama Kunushi's surviving son Nihonmatsu Kunikan, who died in the war, claimed to be the Oshu governor. The former Oshu Sui general Ishita Yoshinobu's son Ishita Yoshinori also claimed to be the Oshu governor.
At the same time, the new Oshu governor Shiba family appointed by the shogunate was sent to Mutsu, and the entire Yu Olympics entered the "four governor era".
The era of the Four Leaders was a period of great chaos in Yu Ou. During this period, the younger brother of the Kira Mitsuru family, Kiraji, attacked Ishibashi Tomoyoshi. Chaos arose within the Ashikaga clan, and the entire Ou was stirred up like a swamp, until Ashikaga
During the Yoshimanchu period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were unified, and the establishment of the Oshu Tenteon eliminated the great chaos that had affected Yuao for more than fifty years. Shohoji Temple almost fell into decline during that period.
Although Shohojikan has gone through several times of dilapidation and renovation, its layout has always been that of a small temple with a residential building. Kira Yoshitsune set up his camp here largely for convenience. The small town on Mount Takadate is much smaller than Shohojikan.
It's still in shabby condition. Moreover, the mountain is covered with dense forests and transportation is inconvenient. It would be more appropriate to go down the mountain to Zhengfa Temple.
Even if it is only a small residence, it is still heavily guarded with 30% of the inside and 30% of the outside. The line from Kamo Port to Miura Castle has been completely controlled by the Kira Army. There is no walled city within a radius of ten kilometers. The Kira Army only conducts night attacks.
He is an expert, so he is also the most careful in taking precautions against night raids and the like. One of Kira Yoshitomo's mottos is to sail the ten thousand year ship with caution.
In the main formation of Shohoji Temple, Kira Yoshi carefully looked at the young man in front of him, who was about twelve or thirteen years old. There was a nervous but determined contradictory expression on his young face, and the plain coat on his body seemed to be rolling on the ground.
It's so dirty that it's unbelievable. There's a bandage on his head, which seems to be a slight injury on his head. If you can't vaguely see Maruji Hikirō's family crest, it's really hard to believe that this is the future Deyu Xiaoshou Mogami.
Yoshimitsu.
"Mogami Gengoro is here! Okay, okay! I am finally happy to have another powerful one! Please get up quickly!" Yoshiki Kira stepped forward to help Mogami Yoshimitsu, looked at him carefully and said with regret: "
You and I are of the same ancestry and belong to the same family, so why do we need to fight to the death with swords? Eh!"
Mogami Yoshimitsu stood up excitedly: "Master Zhenfu..."
Kira Yoshishi walked with him arm in arm, just like an elder brother treats his own brother, and said gently: "Thank you for letting your family struggle in Oshu for hundreds of years! I and the shogunate have never forgotten Oshu.
From now on, if you follow Yu’s banner, your life will get better and better. Let’s see who else dares to bully Yu’s clan!”
"Master Jinfu... no! It's the Lord! I, Gengoro Yoshimitsu, am willing to serve you as my Lord!" Mogami Yoshimitsu knelt down and saluted again.
Kira Yoshishi held his arm to prevent him from kneeling down, and said with a smile: "Hey! You and I are brothers of the same blood and species! Since we are brothers, why should we treat each other as master and slave? That would make it look like there is nothing between you and me as brothers.
Share a lot!"
"My lord..." Mogami Yoshimitsu really didn't know how to deal with it now. The hat he was given as a brother was too big for him to dare to pick it up.
Knowing what Yoshimitsu Mogami was worried about, Namioka Sofou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty always treats his ministers equally. Even Sanada Danshoden, who had repeatedly gone against His Majesty, was pardoned for his crimes and even worshiped me."
The elder of the Ashikaga family, Kamishui, has a much higher status than the other lords here. He is currently in Fukashi Castle, Shinano Chikuma County, and serves as the general of the Shinano Army, commanding an army of 17,000 to suppress Suwa County.
Kai Takeda’s military strength within.”
The vigilance of Mogami Yoshimitsu slowly relaxed after hearing this. He had also heard about the reputation of Yukitaka Sanada. It was said that he was a well-known general in Shinano. However, his father Yoshimori Mogami often compared himself to Takeda Shingen, which made him
He also knows some things that the people of Deyu country don't know.
It is said that this Sanada Yukitaka has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats when he was first paired with Takeda Shingen. He just relied on one person to mess up many wealthy families in Shinano. He also defeated President Shinano several times in a row, who had defeated Takeda Shingen twice.
General Murakami Yoshikiyo is one of the top figures in the world in terms of military strategy and political strategy. He is such a famous general and had a sworn enemy relationship with the Kira Army during the two battles of Kawanakajima. In the end, he was besieged in Toishi City. COFCO tried to provide all the aid, but he didn't want to die.
After being exonerated, he was given the important position of inheriting the family lineage.
If an ordinary Japanese daimyo did this, they would definitely be overthrown by a group of clan retainers. Only lunatics and fools would dare to take such bizarre actions. But if it were the world's number one general, Kira Yoshi, it would be reasonable to do so. Most of Shinano's were.
With his bare hands, he snatched it from Takeda Shingen's hands. This town government official was impeccable and almost perfect in military strategy, strategy, political strategy and other aspects. What's more, he had a magnanimous heart.
Mogami Yoshimitsu turned his head and looked at Namioka's dining room. He was a little unsure of his identity, so he asked: "This is..."
Namioka Tōfō said with a smile: "My name is Namioka Tōfō. I come from the Namioka Imperial Palace in Tsugaru County, Oshu. My ancestor is Lieutenant General Namioka Zuo, Gu Naga, my father is Namioka's Shitō. My brother is the current family governor, Namioka Tōfō."
Due to my luck, I ran away from home due to a serious disagreement with my brother. I also lived in the Mogami family for a period of time and met His Highness Mogami, but His Highness Mogami may not have a deep impression on me."
Mogami Yoshimitsu said happily: "It turns out to be His Highness Namioka! I still remember His Highness Namioka. At that time, people in Yamagata City were saying that a very powerful Namioka-sama had arrived. I, Yoshimitsu, even went to take a sneak peek.
I vaguely remembered His Highness Namioka's appearance several times, but later on I don't know when His Highness Namioka suddenly disappeared. This made me unhappy for a long time."
"I was sent by the Dewa Wardens to attack Echigo. I was inexplicably made a prisoner during the battle at Honjo Castle. Later, I was favored by my master and promoted to a vassal." Namioka Tobo said with a smile, not feeling that he had ever been a prisoner.
It is such a shame to be defeated and captured, but it is more convincing to use yourself as an example.
"Is it my father's order? Sure enough, my father can't retain talented people." Hearing that it was Mogami Yoshimoru's arrangement, Mogami Yoshimitsu's mood suddenly dropped a lot.
Kira Yoshitsune learned about the deep conflict between the father and son of the Mogami family from a close servant, and he immediately understood where his pain was, so he chuckled and said: "Speaking of which, there is another powerful Isect clan Hosokawa Fujitaka under my wife, Shimowa Izumi.
The governor of the Hosokawa family, and the brother-in-law of Tian Juyu. If you have the opportunity, you can get closer and closer."
Hosokawa Fujitaka is an important cornerstone of the stability of Echigo's political system. Although his role is like that of Xiao He of Han Dynasty, his achievements are worthy of being the first person below the family lineage. Mogami Yoshimitsu is naturally very aware of Hosokawa Fujitaka's deeds and excitedly
Said: "I have long heard that Hosokawa's military department is one of the top figures in the world in literary talent and political strategy. It would be great to be able to make friends with him!"
Namioka's tower shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Actually, I think His Highness Mogami can also try to get closer to the Lord! Just like Hosokawa Hyobuden and the Lord have another level of marriage relationship."
"Better marriage? But I already have an engagement! A few years ago, I entered into a marriage agreement with the daughter of Dr. Yoshitoshi Sakyo, Oshu Tentai Osaki, because I, Dewa Tantai Mogami clan, and Oshu Tantai Osaki
The Osaki clan is from the same clan, the Osaki clan is the direct descendant of the Oshu family, and the next clan becomes the Mogami clan who inherits Dewa Tenten. So there is really no way to shirk this engagement!" Mogami Yoshimitsu was startled and thought to himself.
If kissing and kissing is really like Hosokawa Fujitaka, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Mogami Yoshimitsu was extremely worried, fearing that Kira Yoshitsune would find a step-sister or something like a godmother, and then betroth him to be his wife. Osaki Yoshinao was also an Oshu detective after all, and Dr. Sakyo was a big shot in Utsu.
, he himself is a descendant of the Kawachi Genji Shiba clan, and his family is not much inferior to the Suruga Imagawa family. He has inherited the Oshu style from generation to generation and received the word "righteousness" from the shogun. In terms of dignity and respect, he is probably more powerful than Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Some.
But Kira Yoshitoki was not just an ordinary Ashikaga clan. The name of the Ashikaga clan, the Ashikaga clan, was passed down from the Kamakura period. Ashikaga Kamisesaburo was the name used by the third-generation family governor of the Ashikaga clan. The clan was named after the Shiba clan.
The status of the Owari Ashikaga family is equal to that of the top and bottom. Even if they stand in the wrong team during the chaos, they still maintain their dignity and honor. However, most of the Shiba clan's branch families have been destroyed.
This person is now the tutelary general again. This official position is in charge of the two countries of Yu and Ou. Now he intervenes in Dewa country with the title of tutelary general. If Kira Yoshitoki really intends to adopt a adopted sister to be Mogami Yoshimitsu's wife,
That is the rhythm that will force Osaki Yoshinao and Kira Yoshitsune to fight.
"So she is the legitimate daughter of Dr. Yoshinao Oshu Tandai Osaki Sakyo? She is also a member of the Lord's family, and her family background is so close to the shogunate that it is really not suitable to break it up! So, doesn't His Highness Mogami have a biological sister?" Namioka Toutou
There was a strange expression on his face that was half a smile but not a smile, and he stared at him with burning eyes as if waiting for his answer.
"That's it! I understand! It turns out that this is the calculation... That's fine! I really hate that guy!" Mogami Yoshimitsu's eyelids twitched and then he looked at Kira Yoshi, and there was no flaw in his sincere expression.
, then he knew their plan. Since his own marriage could not be changed, his sister's marriage was the only option.
After all, Mogami Yoshimitsu has the foundation of a heroic general. A smile appeared on his tender face at the age of thirteen, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, I do have a biological sister, the beautiful Wakaba Kuroyama
A goddess with a gentle and kind temperament who would not even harm a butterfly. In recent years, she has been revered by retainers as the most beautiful woman in Dewa. However, a few years ago, my father made the decision to arrange a marriage, and she was betrothed to Mizai three years later.
The head of the Tashi family, Ida Huizong, is the principal wife."
Takigawa Shiyi crossed his arms and asked, "Who is Date Terumune?"
Shima Tokikatsu knew this guy's funny temperament, so he said patiently: "It's the guy who ran the fastest just now. I want you to chase the guy who failed to catch up after two trips."
As expected, Takigawa Shiyi cursed angrily: "What are you talking about? That guy! Apart from running very fast, I don't see anything wrong with him. Is he worthy of enjoying Deyu's most beautiful woman? Bah!"
"Haha, not many people can escape death at the hands of brother Keijiro. No matter what the ability of Date Terumune is, at least his running ability is good." Honda Miya Masashige has grown to be fifteen or sixteen years old.
He is a big young man, much taller than his brother Bendo Shizheng. He is no longer the little kid who dragged a small wooden gun and had a clear nose in the past.
Watanabe Gengoro Morizuna echoed: "That's right! No one knows the skills of brother Keijiro. You can count the number of hands that can stand up to you in the entire Kanto region. There is probably no one in the samurai family in the entire world who can compare with you.
Right!"
"You two boys, stop flattering me! I won't be fooled by you. The last time I listened to your flattery, I challenged Saito Shimono Mamoru... Ahem! Let's not mention it anyway!" Takigawa Shimasu scratched his head and face.
To cover up his embarrassment, he couldn't reveal his embarrassing record of losing to Saito Asanobu many times.
Compared with experience and coping strategies, Takigawa Tokimasu, a young man of eighteen or nineteen, was still no match for the number one man in the seven Echigo counties who had been fighting for almost eighteen years. When facing Saito Asanobu, he dared to let him take the first move.
, in the end he was knocked down without any suspense because he underestimated his opponent. Then he got up very unconvinced and continued to challenge. He was provoked by Saito Asanobu's words and was knocked down after seeing a flaw. The third time he was much more cautious but was knocked down because he was too conservative.
Saito Asanobu's attack of losing sight of the other's big body spear was knocked away and failed.
Although only bladeless substitutes are used in foot combat, and the two sides do not regard each other as opponents and do not have the problem of attacking with all their strength, what is competed in this kind of joke-like contest is the comprehensive response of wisdom, courage and agility.
In this regard, the young Takigawa Keijiro still lacks a lot of strategies. It is true that he is an unparalleled general on horseback, but it does not mean that he is invincible.
Honda Tokimasa didn't like their habit of calling them by their full names. This was a kind of contempt and insult to famous samurai names. He snorted coldly and said: "If it's Date Kyōjo, it's really troublesome! Date
The family has great influence in Dewa Mutsu, and the Oshu Tenbun Rebellion is the trouble caused by their family. If it is not handled carefully, it may cause even bigger problems."
Seeing Mogami Yoshimitsu's hesitant look, Kira Yoshi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, don't worry! You must be tired after working hard all night! I'll prepare hot water and clothes for you, wash up first and have a good rest.
It won’t be too late to talk in a few days!” (To be continued...)
