Tsutsui Junkei is a nun of the samurai family, and has the obligation to protect Kofukuji Temple. At this time, she is guarding the first line of Tsutsui Castle, but the Kofukuji Temple area behind her is defenseless.
The only Koriyama Castle that was somewhat threatened was led by Miyoshi Yoshihiro to guard it. When those Kii people entered the land of Yamato, it was like a pack of wolves entering a henhouse.
The Zaga people are a group of Japanese people headed by Suzuki Shigehide of Zaga village, and are joined by the people of the country around the Yunokawa basin.
The Zahe Party in Zahe's hometown is quite elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the other mercenaries from the country are bandits from the evil party. When they are released, they are not just raping and plundering, they are committing all kinds of evil.
In this way, Tsutsui Junkei felt uncomfortable. She was the leader of the Yamato nun samurai family and the leader of the Nara Master.
She is not a samurai and is not subject to the shogunate's protective system. Politically speaking, the foundation of ruling Yamato lies in the religious authorization of the samurai nuns to guard Kofukuji Temple.
If there is a disaster in the Kofukuji Temple area, the temple master, as a religious leader, will definitely ask her for help.
When the time comes, will she continue to hide in Tsutsui Castle and be a grandson, or will she come out and be defeated by Shiga Icsun? Or will she ignore the decree of the Lord?
The Tsutsui family is not the only nun samurai family in Yamato, the Ochi family and other nun samurai families are also watching.
Once the religious authority is lost, the rule of the Tsutsui family will fall apart in an instant. At that time, even if Tsutsui Junkei knows that nothing can be done, Tsutsui Junkei will grit his teeth and send troops.
Miyoshi Yixing thought this through, and looked at Shihe Icun with a hint of fear in his eyes.
This Chinese mercenary is not a good thing. Once they are released, central and northern Nara will probably turn into a hell on earth.
Shihe Yicun's approach also lost its gentleness because it was too harsh.
Once Kofukuji Temple issued the decree, the possibility of Tsutsui Shunkei's negotiation and compromise was cut off, and the Miyoshi family and the Tsutsui family had no room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, Miyoshi Yixing hesitated, but Shihe Yicun said.
"The Shikoku are not at peace. The rogues from Tosa are taking advantage of my family's main force to invade Kinji and heading north to Iyo Country.
I don't care whether Nun Tsutsui wants to negotiate or not, I don't have that much time to spend on her and bet on her choice.
I just want to defeat Yamato quickly and go north to Kyoto, and the Miyoshi family can't afford to hold me back."
After Shihe Yicun finished speaking, Sanhao Yixing couldn't help but feel sad. This is the sequelae of Xia Ke Shang.
The monk can touch it, but why can't I?
The Wu family affiliated with the Sanhao family has an active mind, and things that go against their will from time to time happen.
Ever since the overthrow of the main family, Hosokawa, the Miyoshi family had no choice. Either fight for power all the way up, or the family would be exterminated and die without a burial place.
Flowers are decorated with brocade, and fire is cooking oil. Since he had no choice, Mihaoshi Yixing agreed and led his troops northward.
A few days later, Yoshigan united the Iga people and sent troops to Yamato. The army marched to Yamatokou, buried pots to make rice, and the Shiba shogunate discussed matters.
The Iga people are originally engaged in intelligence, and this time it is related to the lives of their own sisters. Information from all parties is constantly coming in, and Yamato is the most detailed among them.
The curtain of the shogunate was outside, and Yi Gin was sitting on a small stool in the middle. The Ji warriors circulated the information below. She came to explain the matters of the third Taifu of Baiji who were in charge of the information.
"Yamato is already in chaos.
Tsutsui Junkei defended Tsutsui Castle, and Toga Ichitou held her hand and did not dare to move. Miyoshi Yoshihiro, Miyoshi Nagakei's legitimate daughter, led 1,500 Zahe warriors to the north.
She brought five hundred elite members of the Zahe Party with her to confront Matsukura Shigenobu in Koriyama Castle on the northern front. Most of Koriyama Castle's troops were diverted by Tsutsui Junkei, and it was difficult to defend the city, so they did not dare to go to war.
The remaining Qian Kii people were released, and Beidahe suffered a military and man-made disaster. It is said that many villages were burned, killed, looted and turned into ruins.
Fortunately, the prestige of the main temple of Kofukuji Temple is too high, so these wild samurai dare not make trouble. But according to the current trend, these idiots will get jealous sooner or later and rob Kofukuji Temple as well."
After Bai Di San Taifu finished speaking, he glanced at Fujibayashi Xing and motioned for her to continue adding.
Yoshigan appointed her as his chief officer and asked Fujibayashi Anzu to assist her. Firstly, he relied on the intelligence network of the two families, and secondly, he might not have the intention to check and balance her.
After all, she has a long history of rebelling against the shogunate, and she has played tricks several times, so it would be strange not to be careful.
Since the Momochi family has no chance to make a comeback for the time being, she also knows what's going on and will never monopolize power, but she also wants to give the Fujibayashi family a chance to show off.
Although Fujibayashi An is a bit stupid, she still understands the right and wrong of family interests. After bowing to Yoshigan, she continued.
"The Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple has been shaken. If the area around Kofukuji Temple is robbed, a decree will be issued to let Tsutsui return to the army for rescue.
Currently stationed in the northern part of Yamato are two generals from the Tsutsui family, Shigenobu Matsukura and Takeshi Shimakatsu, both known as Ukon Sakon, and they are also the most capable warriors of the Tsutsui family.
There are more than a dozen Hime warriors under Matsukura Shigenobu, no more than a hundred men, guarding the city. Shima Katsuki's whereabouts are unknown."
Yiyin said in confusion.
"Since these two are the strongest generals of the Tsutsui family, why not take them to the south to fight against Juga Ichin? Why stay in the north?"
Fujibayashi Xing was also stopped by the question, and turned to look at the third husband of Momochi.
The third wife of Momochi shook her head, this girl from the Fujibayashi family was still too immature and couldn't grasp the opportunity she was given. So he said.
“Although Yamato is headed by a nun samurai family, the area near the mountainous castle country in the north is still dominated by traditional samurai families.
These traditional samurai were incompatible with the nun samurai, and the Tsutsui family had always been wary of them.
Matsukura Shigenobu is the second daughter of the Matsukura family, the acting retainer of the Tsutsui family tree, and has been stationed in the north. On the one hand, she is guarding against the shogunate in the north, and on the other hand, she is guarding against Peking University and the traditional samurai families within."
Yiyin nodded, somewhat understanding.
There is no guardian in Yamato, and it is ruled by the nun samurai family, which is both samurai and religious. Peking University is close to Yamashiro Country and not far from Kyoto.
These places are where the shogunate has the strongest influence, and the power of religion cannot transform these samurai families, so they will naturally be feared by the Tsutsui family.
"So, Shima Shengmu's family is the leader of the traditional northern martial arts family?"
"Your Highness is wise."
I'm too lazy to listen to the flattery of Bai Di San Taifu. Who among you doesn't know who is the one who can use the knife but never the stick.
Nizi Shengjiu on the side suddenly came out, bowed deeply to Yiyin, and said.
"I sincerely ask your Majesty to give me a word."
Yi Gin had never seen Nizi Katsuhisa so excited, and her brows had not relaxed since she entered Iga.
It was also because the situation was worse than expected when they arrived. If not for Guoxin's help, Shiba and his party would have fled back to Kyoto in embarrassment.
"you say."
"It is indeed a good move for Miyoshi's army to force Tsutsui Junkei to fight due to the safety of Kofukuji Temple. But it is also a rare opportunity for us, Ozen.
The Iga people have been punished for many years and their military strength is exhausted. If they fight head-on, they will definitely be defeated by Shiga Ichin.
But in order to win quickly, Shihe Yisun dispersed his troops. He also threw a thousand Zahe people into the central and northern Yamato Kingdom, causing the destruction of all living beings and the anger of both humans and gods!
To go to war with the Ashikaga white flag in front of the emperor and to conquer the unsubordinates on behalf of the shogun is a matter of justice.
Yamato has been obsessed with religion for many years, and the samurai here have no admiration for the shogunate or the general.
At this time, the Sanhao family went against the grain, and Sanhao Changqing, as an enemy of the Wu family, could not escape the blame. This was the opportunity for the emperor to show his morality.
Please accept my advice before the emperor. After entering Yamato Country from the Yamato Pass, ignore the confrontation with Koriyama Castle in the north and directly attack the scattered soldiers of the Zahe people who are ravaging the central and northern parts.
Hold the imperial flag and follow the right path, kill the rebellious samurai family, save the temple, and make the village hang upside down. From then on, Peking University and the samurai family will definitely return to the shogunate and the imperial court!
Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity!"
After Nizi Shengjiu finished speaking, his emotions still couldn't calm down, so he simply knelt down and kowtowed.
She has always wanted to find an opportunity to show her value, but Yoshigan and his Sanhime warriors drove the Musou all the way to Iga, so there was no chance for her to show off.
Now Shihe Yicun has sent a big gift. If she doesn't accept it, there will be no chance of being rewarded by the public.
