Saying goodbye to Sofukuji Temple and Kaikawa Shoki, Kira Manshomaru's Mino trip ended. Kira Kamikawa Army marched along Nakayama Island, crossed the Nagara River, Ibi River, and successfully arrived at the Fuwa Pass. The Fuwa Pass and Mino Country
The Suzuka Pass of Ise Province and the Aiha Pass of Echizen Province are collectively known as the Three Passes. The three passes are used as boundaries to divide Kanto and Kansai.
After passing through the border, you will enter Omi country, the hinterland of Kinki. Once here, the Kira family can flagrantly raise the flag of Kamilakus. In Mino, you must always be wary of Saito Yoshimasa, because the Saito family has just concluded an alliance with the Oda family, and the Saito family has just concluded an alliance with the Oda family.
Fujiguicho became Oda Nobunaga's first wife, and the two parties were still in the most intimate period.
If the Saito family, as an ally, chooses to block this Shangluo team and hand them over to the Oda family, it will be really disastrous. But entering Omi country is different. The Sasaki Rokkaku family and the Oda family are not allies, and they are not allies with the U.S.
The thick Saito family is not harmonious, and they will not sell the Oda family's face at all. What's more, the Rokkaku family has more reason to welcome this Shangluo army.
The current head of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Sadeyori, is married to the current Duke Ashikaga Yoshitō, and personally serves as the shogun's back advisor. As a strong supporter of the shogunate's son-in-law, Hosokawa Harumoto, he serves as the shogunate shogunate.
Rokkaku Sadayori still wanted to achieve great things, but unfortunately he encountered a powerful enemy like Miyoshi Chokei.
In this summer's Battle of Eguchi, Miyoshi Nagakei, under the watchful eyes of the Hosokawa and Rokkaku coalition forces, easily and happily eliminated the Miyoshi Masako who belonged to the Hosokawa side, Irido Sosan. The Rokkaku family missed the best opportunity to defeat the Miyoshi family because of a moment of hesitation.
, in the end, they could only sit back and watch as Miyoshi Changqing's prestige soared. Taking advantage of the great victory, he went to Luo and appointed the puppet Hosokawa Tsuna as the leader, and he became the leader.
The son-in-law was defeated and lost face, and the shogunate was snatched away. He also lost face. At the same time, he was annoyed by his hesitation at the critical moment. Rokkaku Sadayori was so angry that his originally strong body soon became weak.
After the collapse, Rokkaku Yoshiken disintegrated his father's baton as the successor and served as the general's guardian. He would not miss any opportunity to retaliate against the Miyoshi family, so the Rokkaku family would only welcome the Kira family's Kamiro army with both hands.
.
Minami Omi is the leader of the Sasa Rokkaku family, and the corresponding Kita Omi was originally the leader of the Kyogoku family, one of the four houses of the Rokkaku family. However, with the outbreak of the Onin Rebellion, the Kyogoku family gradually declined, and the original
The retainer Asai started to raise his head, but was finally defeated by Asai Ryomasa.
The dispute between the Rokkaku clan and the Kyogoku clan Omi continued to the Asai family, the actual controller of Kitaomi. During the Asai Ryomasa period, the Asakura family finally became an ally against the Rokkaku clan. However, since Asai Ryomasa died of illness a few years ago, the current leader Hisashi Asai
Due to his lack of political ability, he was suppressed by Rokkaku Sadayori after a short period of support. Currently, the Asai family is subordinate to the Rokkaku family, and the Omi Kingdom has seemingly been unified.
After passing Sakata County and Inugami County, Kira Mansomaru took Katsuhime and Aki to visit Tianning Temple and Taga Taisha Shrine respectively. He was quite relaxed and did not feel the pressure of going to Luo. On the contrary, he was more like a tourist on an outing.
He lived a very comfortable life, but his good mood did not last long.
News of the outbreak of the Anjo War in Mikawa Kingdom spread to Kinki, and all the branch cities around Anxiang Castle fell. In order to prevent the Imagawa Army from blocking the road back to Owari, Oda Nobumitsu had to lead the army to garrison the Mizuno family's Kariya Castle, which was equivalent to announcing
It is a foregone conclusion that our side will abandon Anxiang City.
The changes in the political situation of Mikawa Kingdom still lingered in Kira Manshomaru's mind like a shadow, which made him very unhappy. The Shangluo Army quickly passed through Aichi and Kanzaki counties and entered Kamao County, where the Rokkaku family had the most direct control. When talking about Minami Omi, we have to mention Kannonji Castle, a famous city in Omi.
This city is famous not only because it is the residence of the Rokkaku family, but also because the castle town of Kannonji Castle is the most prosperous commercial center in Minami Omi. Kannonji Castle is built on the top of Usamayama, which is more than 400 meters high, and is different from other mountain towns. Similarly, the military significance is far greater than the commercial significance, but all this has changed in recent years. In March this year, Rokkaku Sadeyori in Minamiomia posted a notice in Ishidera New City, one of the castle towns of Kannonji Castle, regarding this paper. Goods are implemented in a happy market.
Although this news is not very eye-catching, and its impact is limited to a commercial product in some castle towns, its impact is far-reaching. The Imagawa family in Tokaido and the future Oda family are actively working on reforms in the entertainment market and even the entertainment area. In fact, Leshi Leza is not complicated. It means to seize control of the castle town from local wealthy families, merchants, temples, public servants or other forces, including the power of judicial litigation within the castle town, set up expressly stipulated prohibitions on commercial activities, and ban the In addition to the tax items established by yourself, all other miscellaneous taxes, etc.
The general meaning is to establish complete control over the castle town. Whether it is taxation, judicial inspection, or the government orders that I may issue at any time, the power of the retainers sent to investigate and supervise is clearly established. From this, we can also see that under the feudal system , the daimyo's control over land or economic and financial rights is very limited, and the implementation of most government orders is centered around seizing land and financial control.
While passing through Kannonji Castle Town, Kira Manshomaru also experienced the prosperity of Ishidera New City. It seemed that this Ishidera New City was not limited to the influence of the paper market, but a new pilot project for the reform of the new town's administrative decrees. Most of the harsh and miscellaneous taxes in the past have been abolished in Shisi New City. The lower taxes have made merchants more willing to come here to trade. Even if they only collect a few commercial taxes, the Rokkaku family can make a lot of money. The Rokkaku family has food and money. Winning over a group of wealthy Chinese people and becoming a powerful force in Kinki, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Without stopping at Rokkaku's house, the Kira family's Kamiro team quickly passed through Kannonji Temple and entered Omi Sakamoto on the west bank of Lake Biwa. The Shiga County where Sakamoto was located was assigned to Ashikaga Shogun's family by Rokkaku Sadayori as a royal refuge for the shogun's family. Therefore, this is also a strategy used by the Rokkajia family to win over the general. It can achieve the purpose of influencing or even controlling the general without appearing too eye-catching and offensive.
Yamaoka Zenjiro galloped to the hillside and shouted: "Listen, gentlemen! We are about to succeed in going to Luo! This time, the master of the museum will meet with the Grand Imperial Palace and His Highness Kōkata at the Sakamoto Imperial Palace! We will also become the shogunate. For the public! We, the Mikawa samurai, are taking this opportunity to promote our martial name!"
Then someone shouted: "Be loyal to the master! Be loyal to the shogunate!"
"Be loyal to the master of the hall! Be loyal to the shogunate!" The team erupted with shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Takigawa Keijiro, who had been staying in the crowd, shouted excitedly and pulled Honda beside him. Sanmi ran to the front of the team and shouted loudly, and the enthusiastic atmosphere quickly infected everyone. Even the family members hiding in the carriage quietly lifted the bamboo curtains to secretly look at what was going on outside.
"Well, it seems that everyone is very happy. How is Yahachiro doing?" Sitting in the large carriage, Kira Mansomaru smiled softly, holding a shining gold coin in his hand.
This is a gold chess piece from Kai. It is famous for its shape like a chess piece. In addition to being used as a royal tribute, it is mostly used to reward meritorious ministers. Kira Mansongmaru flicked it.
The gold coin jumped towards a row of people standing beside him and fell into the arms of Hattori Kogoro. Hattori Kogoro could only repay his envy for his brother's good luck.
"Yahachiro is basically fine. Children always recover quickly, but he seems to have cast a shadow on the owner of the museum!" Yamamoto Kansuke ignored the small actions of the people around him and pretended to be a good old man while holding a cup of tea.
, but the ugly scars on his face and the one-eyed patch were a bit scary, and no one who came close dared to look at him.
"It's not necessarily because he's seeing bad things." Kira Manshomaru shook his head. He jumped open the bamboo curtain and could see the carriage on the opposite side. Sheng Ji was hugged by Aju and jumped up and down excitedly. Kira Manshomaru looked at Sheng Ji.
Ji and Aju waved to each other, but said: "Tell Yahachiro, smart people should know what they should do, learn these and then think about showing their abilities!"
"Yes! The veteran will tell you this on behalf of the host." Yamamoto Kansuke bowed, picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, his expression showing an indescribable peace.
"Master, you really get younger the more you live!" Kira Manshomaru joked.
"I am considering adopting an adopted son so that I can pass on my mantle. It would be great if I could build a Bodhi Temple to offer incense to my father!"
"..."
Not long after, folk songs that could only be heard in the Sanhe countryside came from Qianjun. Although the tunes sung by these big men were ridiculous, their enthusiasm did not change and they insisted on singing songs about the love between men and women.
It's a high-spirited hardcore song, but it actually has a bit of a military feel to it.
