Chapter 53 Shangjing

 The shogun, the official title is the general who conquered the barbarians.

During the Ritsuyo era under the rule of the Emperor's High Lord, the samurai family gradually grew in power in order to conquer the Ezo people who were still occupying the Kanto area at that time.

Unable to withstand the attack of the samurai, the Ezo people retreated to Oshu, and finally fled to Ezo Island (Hokkaido).

Later, during the struggle between the imperial court and the samurai family, Minamoto no Yoritomo, the elder of the Genji family at that time (the talker) and the leader of the samurai family (the leader), established the Kamakura shogunate, and the emperor named her the general to conquer the barbarians.

At this point, the imperial court declined and the Wu family rose.

Muromachi, Kyoto, the Imperial Palace of Flowers.

Because the Ashikaga family opened and established a palace in Muromachi, Kyoto, it was called the Muromachi shogunate.

The third generation of Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitsu was crowned King of Japan by the Ming Dynasty, slaughtered the emperor's ministers, and later established the Flower Palace in Muromachi, which became the residence of the people of the world.

As the name suggests, the Flower Imperial Palace is an Imperial Palace full of flowers. I heard that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ordered the Imperial Palace to be planted with flowers, and the flowers bloomed and the fragrance was fragrant.

But today's Ashikaga family has lost its former glory, and the imperial palace is also in a lot of dilapidation.

The 13th Ashikaga Shogun Yoshiki was meditating in the sword chamber, and with him was the art of war master Nobutsuna Kamizumi.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru loved kendo and first learned Shinto-ryu swordsmanship from Tsukahara Fuden. Later, Tsukahara resigned in old age and recruited Ueizumi Nobutsuna to learn Shinin-ryu swordsmanship as a military teacher.

There are countless famous swords in her residence, and the world calls her the swordsman general.

After the two meditated, they discussed again. Ashikaga Yoshiki asked in great interest.

"Shangquan Normal School, what do you think of my swordsmanship?"

"His Royal Highness is extremely talented. If it weren't for the government affairs, his achievements might not be as good as mine."

Tsukahara Fuden and Kamizumi Nobutsuna are recognized as the two great swordsmen. This sentence speaks highly of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and he snorted.

"Being busy with government affairs? What else can I worry about now?"

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know how to comfort the general, so he sighed.

In order to consolidate the position of his own lineage, General Minamoto Yoritomo of the Kamakura shogunate killed all the nearby branches. As a result, the second generation of the Kamakura shogunate was usurped by the Hojo clan of Minamoto Yoritomo's husband.

After the first Ashikaga shogun Takauji overthrew the Hojo clan, he founded the Muromachi shogunate. However, it was not powerful at the time and the shogunate had more vanity than strength.

It wasn't until the third generation of Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitten was a prodigy that the status of the Ashikaga family was completely consolidated.

Learning from the lessons of the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate relied heavily on kinship branches to rule.

There are three offices and four offices in charge of the shogunate, and seven families, most of which are relatives.

The Ashikaga gate has a royal house, and its branches near and far entrust various countries as minions.

From then on, the sisters worked together to enjoy the world.

But things are unpredictable. During the time of the eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, there was a succession dispute in the Ashikaga family.

The sisters fought against each other for ten years. Since then, the strength of the Ashikaga family has been severely damaged, and the Ashikaga family has gradually declined.

By the time of the 13th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the rule of the Ashikaga family was almost losing face.

They actually had to rely on the Omi Rokkaku family, which had been suppressed by the Ashikaga family, to fight against the Hosokawa retainer Miyoshi family who supported the shogunate leader Hosokawa Harumoto.

But the two families are fighting for hegemony in recent times, and both Hosokawa and Ashikaga are just used as signboards and puppets.

What are these things! Things that were not on the market a few generations ago can now drive Ashikaga Shogun into disgrace, and Yoshiki is filled with resentment.

When Ashikaga Yoshiteru was helpless in destroying the majesty of the shogun's family, Shimobari Kiyosu Castle Yoshigan was meeting with Oda Nobunaga.

The meeting place was placed in one of Nobunaga's inner chambers, and present were Oda Nobunaga, Shiba Yoshigan, and Niwa Nagahide.

Niwa Nagahide worked for the Oda family and was in charge of Nobunaga's internal affairs. This time the Yoshino Bank went to Kyoto to donate money to Ashikaga Shogun, so she was naturally responsible for the funds.

"How about my family donate five hundred guan to His Highness?"

Niwa was a refined and elegant beauty, but was exploited by Nobunaga to become the caressing person she is now. Yoshigan felt pitiful when he looked at her, but he still shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Niwa Nagahide's chest felt tight, and she looked at Yoshigan resentfully. Yoshigan was embarrassed by her look, and said to Nobunaga.

"The Ashikaga General is an Ashikaga General after all. If you are stingy, it will have the opposite effect.

In addition to asking for a guardianship, donating money is also to show the Oda family's obedience and loyalty to the Ashikaga family.

If this matter allows Lord Gongfang to take a high look at the Oda family, it will be of great help to the Oda family in their future actions."

Nobunaga thought for a while and said.

"Five hundred guan of copper coins, one thousand shi of rice. In addition, I present fifty Muramasa and one hundred spears."

Niwa Nagahide on the side almost rolled his eyes and fainted when he heard this. He looked at Yoshigan as if he wanted to eat him.

But Nobunaga has made up his mind to do this well no matter how difficult it is, Niwa Nagahide said resignedly.

"I will prepare it. The supplies will be transported to the castle town of Kyoto by merchants who have been in contact with the Oda family all year round. When the time comes, Imperial Majesty Shiba can present the watch to the Ashikaga family and pick it up at the castle town."

Yiyin nodded. Such a large amount of supplies must have been handled by professional merchants.

The Oda family has no military presence in recent times and relies on its own transportation. The supplies are not enough and the samurai family who are crazy about fighting and fighting on the road snatch them.

After talking about business, Nobunaga's eyes were as charming as silk, and he ordered Niwa Nagahide to be kicked out.

"Migoro, you go and do some business first."

Before Niwa Nagahide could agree, Yoshigami had already spoken first.

"The departure is about to begin. I will go back home and prepare carefully so as not to miss His Highness's important event. We will set off tomorrow morning. Please rest assured and wait for the good news."

Niwa Nagahide opened his mouth to see Yoshigan's loyal look and was speechless.

Your Highness obviously has other thoughts. Is it really okay for you to pretend to be stupid like this?

Nobunaga was knocked speechless by Yoshigan's soft nails. It was not easy for her to have an ambitious attack at this time, so she could only wave her hand with a sullen face to signal the two of them to go out.

After walking out of the door, Niwa Nagahide looked at Yoshigami with even more respect. She had also been misled by rumors before, thinking that Imperial Shiba had the intention of being the master of Israel.

But after this incident, she saw clearly. His Highness clearly bullied the orphan of the Sibo family and took advantage of his desire to revive Sibo and took over his body.

Although she was loyal to Nobunaga and recognized him as a wise lord, in terms of personal ethics, Nobunaga's behavior was hard to describe.

The two of them left the castle tower. Niwa Nagahide bowed and said goodbye first. Yoshigan responded politely, feeling happy in his heart. This was the effect he wanted.

Although Nobunaga is a good sex partner, she is domineering and ugly.

Every time he was treated frivolously in front of the Wu family, the reputation of the Shiba family always had a pink tint, and the Wu family looked at Yiyin with ambiguity.

In fact, Yiyin does not object to being hired by Nobunaga, but to survive in this samurai society, fame is also a bargaining chip and a kind of strength.

Previously, the Shiba family was in ruins, and the warriors' actions towards him could be regarded as sacrificing themselves to save the family.

Now that he has the status of a direct minister, if he is still summoned by Nobunaga to sleep with him from time to time, what will other samurai think of him?

So this time he deliberately disgraced Nobunaga in front of Niwa Nagahide, I am no duck!

Fortunately, there is an important mission in Kyoto. Nobunaga, who will become a man of the world in the future, has high ambitions and will not ruin important things for the sake of temporary selfish desires.

Once Yiyin passes this level, the reputation of the Spo family and myself will definitely be much better.

As for the future?

If Nobunaga really becomes a member of the world, all the warriors will be convinced. If you sleep with me, then sleep with me. No one will dare to disobey her, and who will laugh at whom?
