A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 47 6. The things are in charge

After agreeing to send troops, the envoy in charge of the family also happily returned to Vietnam and resumed his duties.

Think about Ken Uesugi as the defeated leader of Kanto, who could incite almost all the forces in northern Kanto with just a piece of imperial letter. Righteousness is really elusive. The kind of power that has been passed down for hundreds of years, even if it is dimmed and not as good as Baiyi in the past, can still stir up the situation in the world.

However, as Xiaoheita knew, the reputation of the Kanto Commander in Chief had been beaten several times in the Kanto area. The former Kanto Commander was directly attacked and killed by Echigo Guardian Nagao Mikake. The current Ken Uesugi was defeated first by Kawagoe and then by Odawarai. He was attacked by Takeda Harunobu who invaded Saku and killed more than 3,000 people. Now that Hirai was beaten even more, he couldn't sit still. He had no choice but to seek refuge with the Nagao family, the Echigo guardian who had a bloody feud with the Uesugi family. How frustrating and ridiculous it was.

However, the solid feudal hierarchical order in the feudal era was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The entire Warring States Period was an era of recognizing fathers. A noble family will naturally make people surrender to you and grasp unparalleled righteousness. If it can be paired with strong enough force, it can go anywhere.

Therefore, a broken ship also contains three pounds of iron. As long as Kento Uesugi holds the second-highest position among all Bando warriors, the Kanto Commander, he is a rare commodity. It’s a piece of cake that thousands of people grab and tens of thousands of people compete for.

Putting aside this half-disgraced steward, similarly, although the Seiwa Genji Ashikaga clan of the Yamauchi family is not the top family under the Muromachi shogunate, it is still a top second-rate family. Being at the top of the old order naturally has the necessity to maintain this old order. This is also the reason why the young master Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has fully understood the decline of the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto, but still serves his duties safely.

No matter how clearly you understand that this broken ship cannot be saved, you are still the second officer on this ship. If you change to another ship, you will have to start as a sailor. So no matter how bad the ship is, we must forcefully renew his life and let him sail on.

As long as this rotten ship does not capsize, my Yamauchi family will still be a famous family in the world. If the boat capsizes one day, the Yamauchi family will be worthless.

After these truths were explained thoroughly, the entire mountain leader slowly started rolling his war machine again. Moreover, the troops who went to Kyoto to contribute to the shogunate as usual every year also came back, and the young master Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who had completed one year, also returned to Yamauchi.

I also learned from Yamauchi Yoshikatsu that in Kyoto, the leader of the Hosokawa clan was previously at a disadvantage in the struggle with the retainer Awa Miyoshi clan. Now, with the help of the Rokkaku clan, they have regrouped and gathered 20,000 soldiers to fight Miyoshi Nagakei. Unfortunately the result was a defeat and loss of life. Hosokawa Harumoto was defeated and died at the age of forty. (Actually, he died in custody a few years later)

At the same time, the famous family in the world, the Hosokawa clan, now the leader of the three and four positions of the Muromachi shogunate, also completely collapsed (there was also the Hosokawa clan Tsuna who would succeed the clan leader but soon died, and Hosokawa Akimoto was completely eliminated). did not become the leader), the last buffer zone between the Shogun family and the Miyoshi family also disappeared.

I remember how powerful Hosokawa Harumoto was back then. He pulled the three gold-medal thugs Miyoshi Motonaga (Miyoshi Nagakei's father), Yanagimoto Kenji, and Hatano Kodichi, and used exquisite micro-management to control Awa Zhong, Settsu Zhong, and Tanba. The crowd gathered together and pushed the leader, Hosokawa Takakuni, to the ground and beat him. He directly beat people to Echizen Kingdom to join Asakura Takakage. Even the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu was beaten away by him.

He also established Ashikaga Yoshiki as public official. This behavior in China is basically considered to be infamous in the world for thousands of years. This was not over yet. Later, Hosokawa Takakuni roped in Omi's guardian Rokkaku Sadeyori and Bizen country's leader Urakami Muramune to attack Hosokawa Harumoto from both sides. Hosokawa Harumoto and Urakami Muramune were beaten to death by beating them all the way.

The victorious Hosokawa Harumoto took the general Haruji of Ashikaga Yoshiharu and happily became the leader. He dominated the entire Kinki for more than ten years and killed anyone who disobeyed. Even Miyoshi Yuanchang was killed by his design in the end.

Of course, this was also the last moment for the leader of the Hosokawa clan. After a few years, Miyoshi Nagakei, who was only nineteen years old, succeeded in revenge and killed him. Then he never stood up again. He went around to recruit reinforcements, but he could not save his fate of defeat and death.

The heroism of this dear friend also completely tore through the last bit of disguise on the face of Miyoshi Changqing, the official in charge, and the public's companions. He no longer cared about the public's face in Kyoto. (Ashikaga Yoshiteru was beaten out of Kyoto by Miyoshi Nagakei several times)

Even the Naito clan, the guardian of Tanba, was defeated by Miyoshi and was forced to adopt Naito Munekatsu (Matsuhisa Nagahide's younger brother Matsunaga Nagayori) to inherit the family business. The entire Kyoto is already under three sides, and the general's family is really in turmoil.

When the officials in the mountain heard the news, they were all sighing. They naturally supported the government and denounced the rebels from all over the world for causing chaos and causing unrest in the world.

However, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also brought good news. His Royal Highness gave a blank check to the Kawachi Hatakeyama family (also one of the three leaders), and even promised to replace the leader. When Hatakeyama Takamasa heard this, it was okay. "I haven't been a steward in the Hatakeyama family for decades. Now Hosokawa Harumoto, a slut, has been begging for help. Who else would be the steward than me?"

That look definitely shows that his confidence is as high as the sky, and he dares to teach the sun and the moon to have a new look. The blazing fire of ambition can heat up people. Without a word of nonsense, he directly invited his friends from all walks of life to come over and make a fortune together.

Now the Hatakeyama family, with the support of the Kii Yukawa clan, has gathered forces from Kawachi, Izumi, Kii, Yamashiro, Settsu, Yamato and other countries. It is said that the force has reached a glorious 42,000 people and attacked the Miyoshi family.

Even the Anmi clan, Kizawa clan, and Yusa clan, who had been completely immune to the attack, joined forces and vowed to follow the Hatakeyama clan's lead and bite off a piece of meat from Miyoshi Nagakei's body.

It is estimated that the generals in Beijing can survive for a while, and the ministers in the mountain are relieved. He also informed the young master about the attack on the Hojo clan. This time, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu took charge of the general and marched into Kanto.

After all, Yamauchi Yoshiharu is about to turn 40. In this era, right, there is no tomorrow until today. In two years, he will either go to see the immortals of Qing and Genji, or he will live in seclusion and slowly delegate power to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. In short, it was time to establish authority for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and recruit cronies.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was a little surprised to see Heitai attending the meeting of important ministers. After hearing about Heitai's achievements in breaking the city with one plan, he also wanted to win over him. He gently held Heitai's hand and narrated it for a long time. There are no polite words of longing. But they said it politely, and Xiaoping almost thought she was in love.

So as the ice and snow melted, the journey to Guandong became closer.

I'm very happy that the final 1520 people were recommended last week. In order to thank you all, I promise to update six times tomorrow, Tuesday. Then there will be 1,000 people this week. As long as there are 1,000 people, we will update eight times!
