The rain stopped in late July of the twelfth year of Eiroku. This was the most glorious time in midsummer. Yodo Castle, located at the confluence of the main stream of the Yodogawa River, was once the castle where the last leader of the Hosokawa clan was imprisoned. It is now the castle where the general of the Western Kingdom, Terumoto Mori, was imprisoned.
The negative impact on one's own morale caused by the Western Army's retreat without a fight had yet to be eliminated. The Eastern Army surged in like a sea wave, making the people of Gyeonggi realize the fact that the Kamakura samurai were here again.
Kamakura Samurai, a name that symbolizes glory. The Jokyu Rebellion spread the reputation of Kamakura Samurai to all corners of the world. Without the brave and sturdy Kamakura Samurai who shocked the court, there would be no imperial family members scattered all over the country.
The locals, such as the Shimazu clan, the Otomo clan, the Shaobi clan, the Mori clan, etc., were all descendants of the Minamoto Yoritomo imperial family in the Kamakura period and became a town daimyo in the Western Kingdom. For them, the four words Kamakura samurai have an amazing meaning.
The mysterious power of enchantment.
At this moment, a mysterious team came to Yodo City. The two samurai at the head took off their hoods. One of them revealed a sharp-edged face with a mustache and a tiger beard, while the other had a neatly trimmed mustache and a pair of as if
With falcon eyes, the two middle-aged samurai opened the package and took out a flag, which was the family crest of the Maori family with three stars.
The Maori warrior shuddered, staring at the group of strange warriors from the Eastern Kingdom with their hair styled in the Eastern Kingdom, and hesitated: "You are..."
The bearded warrior said: "Hojo Mori clan, Mori Sakon general prisoner Takahiro."
Another warrior with a mustache also said: "Yasuda Mori clan, Mori Yuechu Shou Jingyuan."
Hojo Takahiro pointed to a young man behind him and said: "This is my Takahiro's son-in-law, the Naha Suruga Shogun clan. This is Hangae Minbu Shaofu Kanehiro. There is also his son-in-law and adopted son Hangae Takaki. This samurai
A concubine from the Dewa Yoshikawa clan and the Kankawa clan."
Yoshikawa Motoharu stared at the young man named Yoshikawa Takaki carefully for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Is this a clan gathering?"
"Let's think it's a family gathering!" Yasuda Keimoto smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the ancestors of Fukuhara Sadatoshiden are also from the Nagai clan of Dewa Kingdom. Dewa Kingdom established Yonezawa Castle as a prefecture, and it was originally Nagai Sai'a.
When the temple was built, the Nagai clan was renamed the Fukuhara clan by Saigoku Luobu, and from then on contact became increasingly rare.”
As we all know, the Mouri clan is derived from the Oe clan, and their ancestor is the famous Kamakura shogunate's first political office, Oe Himoto, and the branches of the Oe clan began with the Oshu expedition in the fifth year of Bunji (1189). Minamoto Yori
After the imperial expedition to Oshu was victorious, he rewarded his merits and gave Oe Hiromoto Oe Hiroyuki's village, Hangao Village and Nagai Village in Dewa Province as a reward. This was a vast territory from the counties to Murayama County.
Later, Oe Hirohito's legitimate son, Oe Chihiro, received the title of a clan leader, and the descendant passed down to him was the Hankawa E clan. Another powerful clan of the Oe clan, the Nagai clan, was also full of talents. It is said that the editor of "Azuma Mirror"
Nagai Sohide was a member of the Kamakura shogunate's genfu clan. This clan replaced the clan as the new direct descendant after the fall of the Hangae clan, a clan leader.
Of course, this is all a confusing account. The An Yun Maori family has risen since the Maori Yuan era, and the Fukuhara family, the direct descendant of the Nagai family, has become the retainer of the Maori family. In turn, no one cares about whether the direct descendant of the Oji family is Hanhejiang.
The clan is still the Nagai clan, as long as the one-letter-three-star flag seal remains unchanged and the blood relationship remains unchanged.
"The Sakon Shogunate belongs to the Hojo Mori clan, and the main family belongs to the Nanjo Mori clan. We are related by ancestors from the same line, but unfortunately we have lost contact for many years..." Motoharu Yoshikawa revealed his thoughts in a perfunctory tone. An Yun Mori also said
It is called Nanjo Mori, and Echigo Mori is called Hojo Mori. This is not a very secret story.
In the early days of Kamakura, the Miura clan launched a rebellion. Mouri Jihiro supported the Miura clan and defeated the Hoharu war. Several sons were scattered and had not contacted each other for hundreds of years. At this time, a poor relative suddenly appeared and took away a group of relatives in his ravine.
They all were summoned, and a pair of three-star flags with one character was also brought. The first reaction must be that these poor relatives are here to take advantage of it.
Hojo Takahiro rolled his eyes, and immediately laughed and said: "I, the Hojo Mori family, are not doing well in Echigo. I am not as prosperous as Nanjo Mori in Anyun. How powerful is it to sweep Ouchi and destroy Nizi? I, Takahiro, think about myself, I am also a shameless person.
Warriors, I have never thought of sharing the glory that you have worked so hard for."
"Haha... I didn't mean to do that." Kobayakawa Takakage hurriedly covered it up. Being ridiculed by others, it seemed that he was a bit short-tempered, but no matter how generous the two sides were, the gap between them still existed.
Relatives who have not been in contact with each other for three hundred years are really nothing. Apart from common ancestors, Miao characters, and family emblems, there is no common language. All the warriors from the Western Kingdom shave their hair into a bun with a moon, and the warriors from the Eastern Kingdom all have their hair combed into the sky.
Bun, the difference between the two is very big, the Western accent and the Eastern accent are not compatible, making it very unpleasant to talk to them.
Yasuda Keigen observed for a while, and judged from the tone and demeanor of the Maori family generals that the young governor of the family, Maori Terumoto, had a very high status, so he said: "The Mutsu Palace Guardsman has extraordinary military achievements in his life, and he personally founded the Anyun Maori clan."
The hegemony of the Western Kingdom can be called a hero of the world! He is admired by us, the Maori clan, but the world is no longer what it was yesterday. The An Yun Maori clan has reached a critical node and must make the final decision, whether to follow the trend or go against it.
The situation is all within the reach of Dian Mang Palace."
Mouri Terumoto opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by his uncle Kobayakawa Takakage. When he saw him gently shaking his head at him, he closed his mouth. Kobayakawa Takakage smiled and asked: "I don't know what is going with the trend and what is going against the trend?"
"Those who follow the trend are like rushing down rivers, and can be thousands of miles away in an instant without any effort. Those who go against the trend are very difficult to choose by rowing with strength. If you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will be killed. All the previous achievements will be wasted!" Yasuda
Jing Yuan said slowly: "Today's world situation is no longer the chaotic and unclear situation it was a few decades ago. The Right General raised a righteous army in Kamakura to fight against the rebellion, and commanded the world with the pillars of the Minamoto family. The imperial family of the Eastern Kingdom has countless followers.
On the other hand, the leader of the Western Army killed his brother, his mother, and deposed the emperor. His minions committed such unscrupulous actions as burning Mount Hiei. Such traitors will not last long!"
Kobayakawa Takakage showed an expression that was indeed true, and said with a faint smile: "It turns out that you are the lobbyists sent by the right general! Thank you for coming all the way, why don't you have a meal first and then..."
Hojo Takahiro laughed loudly and said: "You know what the rumors in the market say about the arrival of the Kamakura samurai. The Kamakura samurai are our imperial family. Our Oe clan is the imperial family. In the past, now and in the future."
Too!"
"After the Jokyu Rebellion, the Kamakura samurai returned to Kyoto...Kamakura samurai, a name that is nostalgic!" Terumoto Mouri quietly clenched his fists, suddenly raised his head and looked at Hojo Takahiro firmly, and said: "Take
Come up with the conditions you have prepared!"
Yoshikawa Motoharu said in surprise: "Young Palace..."
"It's very good to speak quickly in the Dianwu Palace! It's very good!" Hojo Takahiro said: "The choice given to the Maori family by the Lord is Izumo, and Ishikawa and the two countries are in trouble..."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Our Maori family is in control of the Western Kingdom. We have wiped out the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan, and have subdued all the martial arts families in the Western Kingdom. How can you easily reduce the titles with just one word!" Yoshikawa Motoharu couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up.
The Maori warriors had veins pulsing on their foreheads, obviously they could not allow their dominance to be compromised.
"I know that you guys will have some surprises here. It turns out that you still want to take advantage of my Maori family's territory!" Kobayakawa Takakage sneered: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. My Maori family's territory cannot be reduced.
It is absolutely impossible to reduce the seal!”
Yasuda Keigen chuckled: "Don't speak too early, Kobayakawa-don. The territory of the An Yun Maori family did not fall from the sky, and there is no control from below. Without conspiracy and conspiracy, how could the An Yun Maori family be as prosperous as it is today? But, gentlemen, just
I have never thought that this world belongs to the Yuan family after all. Even if the Maori family gains power for a while, how can it be compared with me, the pillar of the Yuan family? Although the snake swallowing elephant is good, you also have to have a good appetite. If the structure is not enough, you have to forcefully eat the Western country.
, if you eat half of it and then spit it out due to indigestion, the gain outweighs the loss."
"It's just sweet talk." Kobayakawa Takakage made up his mind and refused to listen. What would I do?
Terumoto Mori's expression also became very unhappy. The Mori family occupied the Ouchi family's Ryukyo land and defended Nagato. They also eliminated the Nizi family and captured Iwami. The two countries of Izumo and the two countries in the reserve were basically included.
In the middle, Urakami Munekage is dying in the Bizen Kingdom. Further west, he can extend his tentacles to Inaba Hoshiki and other countries. In terms of size, he is not as big as Oda Nobunaga, but he is already a famous strong man in the Western Kingdom.
I originally thought that these poor relatives of the Maori family came all the way from Dongguo just to reminisce about the past and get some benefits. I didn't expect that these people would bring Minamoto no Yoshiki's secret order and put forward such harsh requirements, leaving only
An Yun and Shi Jian saw that only one-third of the power of the two countries had declined. This was really hard to accept.
"The gentlemen of An Yun Maori don't seem to be very happy!" Hojo Takahiro held his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly said in a daze for a moment: "The Lord also told me that if the An Yun Maori family thinks it is inappropriate, they will be transferred to a great power and guaranteed 300,000 yuan."
Shi Andu is also acceptable, but it seems that this one is probably unacceptable, right?"
"Hmph! It's good if the Sakon general knows about it." Fukuhara Sadatoshi said dissatisfied: "It's better to say less like this, so as not to damage the friendship between the same clan."
Hojo Takahiro grinned: "But I, Takahiro, still have to say that the Lord has another decree. If the An Yun Mori family does not want to obey, the suffering of defeat and massacre will be unavoidable when the soldiers meet and the An Yun Mori family will suffer the disaster of reform.
In addition, An Yun and Shi Jian, the principal leaders of the two countries, have given us four branches as rewards. We would also like to thank An Yun and the Maori family in advance for their generosity, thank you very much!"
The members of the Maori family tree family were startled and asked in horror: "General Sakon, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Yasuda Keigen said: "Everyone must have understood it! The An Yun Maori family has only two options to choose from. One is to accept the security certificate of the two countries. The other is to change the land and confiscate it after the defeat of the Second World War. The land of the two countries will be our Hojo Maori, Yasuda
Maoli, Hanhejiang, and the four families in Nabo get it, this is the Lord's request."
"Asshole!" Yoshikawa Motoharu said angrily: "Why are you so domineering? Why do you have to listen to your Eastern Army!"
Hojo Takahiro laughed three times and said with a serious look: "Why? Because the Lord is the pillar of the Minamoto family, because the Lord is the two right generals of the Minamoto family, and because the Lord controls half of Japan, ten million koku of stone
Gao, there are more than 200,000 fierce warriors in our Eastern Army, how dare your Maori family not obey?"
When he said he was falling out, he was falling out. Mouri Huiyuan was so frightened that he was at a loss and said: "You..."
Nabo Zongzong said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the Lord's will cannot be violated. If the Western Army does not change immediately, if it dares to resist, it will be exterminated! It would be a pity to destroy your An Yun Maori clan, Oe Maori clan and I, Hojo Mori
, Yasuda Mouri, even if the Maori clan is destroyed, there is still the Oe clan who can make up for it. Don’t you know that today’s wise people are fighting for their heads to become the royal family of my Minamoto family. If you An Yun and the Maori family are not willing, there are people who are willing!
Do you think that the orders given by the pillars of the Minamoto family are child's play? If you think so, you are wrong! In the late Minamoto period, two of Minamoto's two right-right generals, Norito no Kami, destroyed the Kamisui Hirotsune clan, Minamoto Yoshitsune's clan, Minamoto Hōke clan and Fujiwara.
The Ashikaga Tadatsuna clan, descendants of Hidego, never showed any mercy, and when Mochiinden wiped out the Nitta clan, the Kusunoki clan showed no mercy. That was the case then, and it will be the same today!"
At this moment, the expressions of the Maori family changed. At this moment, Maori Terumoto realized that these people were not here to negotiate at all, but walked over to them in a swaggering manner and told them that it was not too late to step back from the brink. If you don't believe it, you will have to see the coffin without shedding tears.
, then go and try it for yourself. What Minamoto Yoritomo and Ashikaga Takauji have done, Minamoto Yoshitoki would not mind doing again. Wishful thinking is that the pillars of the Minamoto family are easy to deal with, just like the easy-to-bully Ashikaga Shogun family.
It seems to be completely wrong.
Maori Terumoto closed his eyes and thought quietly. Every samurai present looked at the general with worry. In the imperial court, he was the right horse head of the fifth rank. In the Maori family, he was the heir to the family governor. When he was marching and fighting, Maori was the heir.
The commander-in-chief of an army of 20,000 soldiers, his words and deeds have great influence, which is something that Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakage cannot match.
After a long silence, the young young family governor said: "Let me think about it later..."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Hojo Takahiro stood up to leave. After walking a few steps, he came back and said, "I forgot to remind you that An Yunshi only receives income from growing grain and vegetables. Fishing at sea must be in accordance with the law.
In order to do this, the taxes paid by the castle town belong to the lord of the country, but the mines are not included. All the mines in the East Kingdom belong to the Minamoto family. There will be no exceptions to this non-negotiable. I hope the gentlemen of the An Yun Mori family will not think about it.
Too many... That’s it, farewell!”
…
On the eighth day of August, the first clear day after the rain, the sun shines on the earth, and the autumn harvest season has entered in Kinki. From Echizen to Kii, you can see farmers bending down and busy harvesting grain. However, the situation this year is worse than in previous years.
It's different. In the past, at this time, groups of samurai would go to the fields to collect grain, take stock of the proceeds and collect annual tribute. But this year, all these people disappeared because the Kamakura samurai came.
After 350 years, the Kamakura samurai once again came to the heart of Gyeonggi. An army of more than 200,000 people stretched across the Gyeonggi like a black wall from south to north. Oda Nobunaga felt tight in his chest and Ashikaga Yoshi was blocked.
Zhao was worried and furious. The main force of the Eastern Army had reached the edge of the Yamashiro Kingdom. The newly acquired Sakamoto was in danger. People in the capital were panicked. The ministers were also in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
Oda Nobunaga hasn't been sleeping well lately. He has been tossing and turning in long nights, unable to sleep soundly. Two meals a day have been reduced to one meal a day. Seeing that he is getting thinner and depressed, Minamoto no Yoshiki feels like a huge stone is pressing on his heart.
, the feeling like a lump in the throat made him extremely uncomfortable.
Worrying about the defeats in the war ahead has made him very painful. What's worse is that he has to be called by Ashikaga Yoshiaki every day to be an emotional trash can. He endures the disgust in his heart and listens to the guys called "Crazy General" and "Evil Gongfang".
He spits loudly, complains, complains, or expresses anger about someone who has done something bad. In short, it is all the fault of others and the fault of the world. He himself is not wrong.
After leaving the Nijo Imperial Palace, he was invited to the Imperial Palace of Nijo Haruyo. He participated in a tea party and singing party and continued to listen to the chatter of a group of ministers. He learned various questioning and speaking skills, such as asking the same question in twenty-eight ways.
There are many new postures. Not only do you have to work hard to answer them, but you also have to drink tea and compose songs with them. Your brain is a bit exhausted.
He was very angry. Titles such as deputy general and three counselors seemed wonderful, and it was more painful to put him in it than to kill him. So he refused all the meetings with the shogunate and the imperial court.
, he doesn’t care what Qingyi says about him, as long as his ears are quiet.
After finally getting a good night's sleep, when he woke up, he saw his favorite Hidemasa Hori come in to wash him up, and then he asked: "Where are the troops at Asakura Kingoden?"
"Asakura Kingoden left Mount Hiei yesterday evening and moved to Shogunyama Castle last night." The handsome Hori Hidemasa with red lips and white teeth was deeply loved by him. The love of the public is the most proud of Oda Nobunaga's many hobbies.
As for the part, he still prefers men to women, especially young and beautiful boys, such as the sixteen-year-old Hori Hidemasa in front of him, and his old love Maeda Inu Chiyo.
Oda Nobunaga gave a bitter smile: "Is Sakamoto really going to be abandoned? What a failed decision!"
Uesugi Kenshin was unstoppable, and Asakura Yoshikage led his army to retreat to Echizen country, but it was difficult to get any benefits. Instead, it ruined the last remaining strength of the Seven Seven Eight Eights.
Zumi Kegu led his troops to attack one after another, which caused the Asakura army's main formation to be shaken. These three people were all the sons-in-law of Numata Mitsukane. They had been persuaded by their old father-in-law to secretly pass through the Kanto Shogun's mansion ten years ago.
Worse was yet to come. As an ally, the Wakasa Takeda Army suddenly became commotion. Muto Shunhide, together with Numata Toyonaga, Awaya Katsuhisa, Itsami Masakune and many people from the Wakasa country, launched a rebellion and suddenly attacked Takeda Yoshitomi's main camp.
As a result, the Wakasa Takeda Army was completely paralyzed and collapsed. Takeda Yoshitomi and his younger brother Takeda Nobukata died in the rebellion. This series of dazzling changes disrupted the Asakura Army's front line, causing the panicked Asakura Yoshikage to make a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.
He made a decisive decision and retreated before the battle. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
