Just when it was about to turn into a Kinai tragedy, a shocking news suddenly came from the Hanoi Kingdom. It turned out that the Takaya Castle in the Hanoi Kingdom that had been captured so hard last year changed its banner again. The guardian of Hanoi, Hatakeyama Takamasa, took advantage of the hazy night half a month ago.
Capture Takaya Castle, and once again unite the people of Yamato, the people of Kii and the hired Nerai people to launch a series of dazzling actions to recapture Hanoi.
The Hanoi people's army in the Miyoshi Army was in a state of turmoil. General Yu Zuo Xinjiao said without saying a word that he would return to Hanoi with more than 8,000 Hanoi troops to "encircle and suppress Hatakeyama Gaozheng". It was such a big attack.
They left Miyoshi Chokei's main camp and returned to their hometown of Hanoi. However, as soon as they returned to Wakae Castle, they were "unfortunately" "captured" by Hatakeyama Takamasa. The eight thousand troops surrendered under the banner of Hatakeyama Takamasa.
In the blink of an eye, Hatakeyama Takamasa gathered 15,000 troops from Yamato, 15,000 from Kawachi, 2,000 from Kii, and 3,000 from Genlai, totaling 35,000.
The army launched an attack on the Izumi Kingdom, and this time it hit the people of the Izumi Kingdom. The five thousand soldiers of the Izumi Kingdom who were shaken also broke away from the front and fled back to their hometown to defend the homeland. The situation in the entire Kinai was instantly in a state of collapse.
At the same time, there were signs of instability in the Tanba Kingdom. The Hatano family, the Tango Isshiki family, and the Harima Bessho family colluded in an attempt to subvert the dominance of the Miyoshi family. The people of the Higashi-Harima Kingdom left Kyoto without a word and returned to Harima via the Tanba Kingdom.
Territory, Naito Munekatsu, the guardian of Tanba, is also in a dilemma. The Tanba national army under his command has long been complaining about attacking the shogunate at such a cost, and they are even less interested in fighting when they hear that there is trouble in their hometown.
Naito Munekatsu was troubled by the generals and had no intention of marching into Luozhong. The situation with Miyoshi Yoshihide was not good either. As the Hanoi and Izumi people left the front and returned to their hometowns to defend their homeland, the people of Settsu country also experienced varying degrees of commotion.
The leader of the Settsu Riki people, Ikeda Nagamasa, proposed to return to his hometown to defend his territory and prevent the situation in Harima from reversing.
Miyoshi Nagakei was also troubled by such a strange situation. Naito Munekatsu was about to lead his army back to Tanba Kingdom to suppress the rebellion. Miyoshi Yoshihide's troops were also thrown into chaos because thousands of troops left without permission, and Miyoshi Nagakei
His main formation was even gone and there were still 7,000 troops left, which made it difficult for him to maintain an offensive situation.
But he was unwilling to retreat just after crossing the Katsura River and arriving outside Kyoto. His original plan was to take the opportunity to annihilate the troops of Rokkaku Yoshihide and Nakajo Tokihide, and then take advantage of the golden opportunity when both their armies were defeated.
By consuming Yamashiro Kingdom and Omi Kingdom in one fell swoop, the Miyoshi family will truly dominate Kinai, and no one can challenge his authority.
As the saying goes, people make plans and God makes things happen. It is useless to let Miyoshi Changqing's plan be ingenious but unable to be implemented. The news that Hatakeyama Takamasa, the good-for-nothing governor, has gathered a bunch of rabble to attack Izumi Kingdom has been spread to Kyoto, and the remaining
The morale of the nearly 20,000 shogunate coalition forces will surely be greatly boosted, and the already certain battle of annihilation will stir up trouble again. To annihilate another 20,000 troops will require more than twice the effort.
Whether Hatakeyama Takamasa can capture the Izumi Kingdom is of secondary importance. What is important is that if he does not turn his army back to rescue the Izumi Kingdom, it will give many potential enemies the opportunity to jump out and stir up trouble. Maybe the originally stable Settsu Kingdom will also
There will be trouble again. Ashikaga Yoshiki, who went to the house of Shubo Kokutauchi in anger over the death of Hosokawa Mototaka, might be invited back by the remnants of the Awa Hosokawa clan to cause trouble.
There is also the unknown civil strife in Tanba, and the strange behavior of the Higashi-Harima Bessho clan and the Tango Isshiki clan, who have always been honest and obedient people, all indicate that there must be an invisible black hand behind this that is leading this wave of chaos in Kinai.
, Governor Miyoshi Nagakei felt that he could no longer annihilate the remaining troops by force, so he sent a peace request to the shogunate a few days later.
This request for peace was very interesting. Miyoshi Nagakei declared to the shogunate that the Miyoshi family had well-deserved control over Kyoto. He asked the shogunate to abandon the armed forces and let the Miyoshi family take over the security and taxation of Kyoto. This request was rejected by Ashikaga Yoshiteru without hesitation.
, the shogunate was able to revive to the point where it was able to play a role in the Wanqi, relying on taxes on Kyoto and annual donations from daimyo from various places, as well as the extra money Ashikaga Yoshiteru earned from acting as a mediator in regional conflicts.
Among them, taxes from Kyoto and donations from daimyo from various places each account for more than 40% of the total revenue. Losing any one of them will inevitably lead to the decline of the shogunate. Once the shogunate declines, the sense of awe that the daimyo has hastily established towards the shogunate will once again be
If it is exhausted, the annual donation will be greatly reduced, and the extra money Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself earns from military mediation in various places will also be greatly reduced. This is a chain of cause and effect.
Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshiken also knew that Miyoshi Nagakei had a guilty conscience. If it hadn't been for the fire in the backyard of Miyoshi's house, they would never have sat down to negotiate the so-called peace agreement with the shogunate, so they fully supported Ashikaga Yoshiteru's tough stance.
The peace talks were brought to a deadlock. Miyoshi Nagakei scolded the shogunate in the camp outside Kyoto for being ignorant of current affairs and unwilling to accept the olive branch he offered. It was simply unreasonable.
After scolding the shogunate, he began to worry about the bad situation in his home base at the rear. Although this change would not cause the Miyoshi family to fall into a huge whirlpool, if he kept stalling in Kyoto, it was hard to say what the situation would be. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be.
The deeper the impact, the more effort will be expended in the future.
Just when Miyoshi Nagakei was hesitating whether to give in, a series of dazzling news came from Kaga Country. The Kira family's chief general, Uesugi Masatora, led an army of 23,000 to defeat and wipe out 100,000 Yuechu Ichikui, and marched straight into it.
They advanced into the heart of Kaga Country, which had not been touched for eighty years, and annihilated more than 30,000 captives on the southern bank of the Tetori River with 30,000 to 60,000, beating the prestigious Kaga Ichika no Mound to half a cripple in one fell swoop.
The monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple felt as if the sky was about to fall. They were holding their heads in panic all day long. The young Buddhist master Honganji Mianru couldn't help but go to Kyoto to lobby the court, hoping to come up with a way to contain the Kira family.
He was arrogant and domineering, but the problem was that all the civil and military princes in the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened by the war in Kyoto that they did not dare to go out. They either hid at home and pretended to be deaf or mute, or simply ran to Mount Hiei, Nara Kyo, and Mount Koya to take refuge. Where were the people?
He is willing to offend the popular Kira family for him.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was so excited when he heard the news that Uesugi Masatora had defeated Kaga Ichimune for the first time. This was the first time he realized how important it was to have a loyal, brave and reliable ichimon. Uesugi Masatora
The information that these 30,000 tiger and wolf troops were sweeping across Kaga was like a shot in the arm of the crumbling shogunate. He immediately ordered the shogunate to use all kinds of power to publicize it, trying to make the momentum become earth-shattering and everyone would know about it.
As a result, the names of "The First Samurai of Eastern Kingdom", "Dragon of Echigo" and "God of the Northern Army", which Ashikaga Yoshiteru personally praised, gradually became known. Kira Yoshitoki's miraculous performance in the following years of Echigo was also known by people.
It was excavated again and repeatedly hyped. In the past, public opinion in Kinai always felt that no matter how powerful Kiragi was, he was only in a distant country, and he was still far away from Kinai, the most trusted person in the world.
But with the news that the Kaga half country had been captured, people discovered that the Kira family had unknowingly arrived outside Kinki. They only had to bypass the Echizen Asakura clan to return to the capital.
The legendary figure who created a series of incredible achievements seems to be jumping into people's sight again.
To say who is most nervous about Kiragi's return to Kyoto, it must first be Miyoshi Nagakei, the overlord of Kinai. He has spent ten years walking back and forth in the quagmire of Kyoto, and now he is about to achieve success.
, Kira Yoshitsune was like a lingering nightmare that suddenly appeared from an angle that no one could have imagined, frightening Miyoshi Changqing to the point of bursting out of his chest.
Ever since he got the news, Miyoshi Nagakei was disturbed and had trouble sleeping and eating, thinking secretly: "Why did this Kira Yoshitoki come back to kill him? If he didn't stay in Hokuriku Kanto and the Sagami Hojo clan, the Kai Takeda clan was entangled in the direction of Kinai
Do you really want to go to Luo if you reach out randomly? No! We must not let him succeed! Our Miyoshi family wants to dominate the Kinai and establish the hegemony of the Hosokawa family. How can we let Kira Yoshiki interfere at this time and ruin the good things of our family! Yes!
Just think of a way to deal with him as soon as possible!"
Before he could think of what to do, he heard that the Honganji Temple was willing to bow its head and admit defeat in exchange for the Kira family's peace agreement of no war. The once powerful Kaga Ichimumu became a thing of the past, and the entire territory of the Kaga half country became a thing of the past.
It was the territory of the Kira family. Such astonishing changes made it difficult for Miyoshi Nagakei to understand the repetition. He didn't understand when this territory became so easy to capture, so much so that Ishiyama Honganji surrendered without even the intention of struggling to resist.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru acted quickly and decided to give Kira Yoshitoki the title of guardian of Kaga, and encouraged him to go to Luo and Beijing to defend the shogunate as soon as possible. Miyoshi Nagakei was so anxious that he could not sleep for several days. The dissent within the Miyoshi retainers group became more and more serious.
Many people think that going to Luo this time is still a bit hasty. The stability of the old nest behind him should be more limited than that of going to Luo. What he said is nothing more than telling Sanhao Changqing that this war can no longer be fought.
The people who said these words were not the local servants at the grassroots level, but a large number of first-class members and quasi-first-class members of the Sanhao family. They supported Sanhao Changqing and came to Luo for profit, and they fought tooth and nail for the whole summer and now they are not even a little bit.
No benefits were seen, but their respective families would suffer huge losses due to the loss of troops. Seeing that it would be extremely detrimental to them if this continued, Miyoshi Chokei had no choice but to recruit Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunaga Hide to discuss it all night, and then submitted the peace request to the shogunate again the next day.
.
This reconciliation must be carefully revised. First of all, the shogunate's control and public security management rights over Kyoto are recognized. However, Kyoto's defense force must be shared with the Miyoshi family. The number of troops left at Nijo Imperial Palace must not exceed 500, and the remaining 2,000 troops.
The Miyoshi family will also send 500 troops, led by Miyoshi Choitsu, to garrison at Toji Temple in the south of Kyoto, and Hosokawa Uzuna will stay at Toji Temple as the leader's headquarters.
As the governor, Miyoshi Nagakei will have the privilege of leading 500 troops in and out of Kyoto, and will regularly exercise the power of accompanying the imperial minister every month to go to Nijo Imperial Palace to have lunch with the shogun to enhance understanding and mutual trust between the two sides.
, the Kira family and the Rokkaku family are not allowed to enter the capital without official imperial letters, and are not allowed to interfere in Kyoto's defense and security affairs, etc. In addition, Miyoshi Nagakei has made detailed arrangements for the location of the courtyard where Toji Temple is regarded as the highlight of Kyoto.
