A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The spring day on Shitarahara is already dusk, and the grass and trees are happy. On both sides of the Rengo River, it is no longer possible to see that a battle that determined the general trend of the world took place here seventeen years ago.

Hundreds of riders and horses are gathering on Dansho Platform. The shrine built under the orders of the Yamauchi family is now quite noisy. Lush green plants cover the entire shrine.

"The battle seventeen years ago is still vivid in my mind..." A heroic man sitting by the Oarai Pond of the shrine expressed emotion that was inappropriate for his age.

"Did my father fight here back then?" Another young man looked around around the shrine.

"Uncle Danzheng fought with Saburo of Gifu by this river."

Sitting there is Ashikaga Yoshihide, the contemporary shogunate general who has changed his name. Standing was the shogunate's concubine, Konbanto, who had recently served as the shogunate's speaker. Four years ago, he was inducted into the Yuan Dynasty and was awarded the title of 51,000 kan in the Awa Kingdom.

"If it weren't for my uncle, Ashikaga would not be able to thrive again today." As if he had had enough of sitting, Ashikaga Yoshihide stood up and walked down the stairs on Taihara.

"Your Highness, please don't leave the shrine." Higuchi Hidekane (Naoe Kanetsugu), who is already handsome and handsome, and admired as a talented person, advised.

"It doesn't matter, the sea route is the leader of the shogunate. If you can't even travel the sea route without any worries, how can you talk about the world?"

Masayuki Sanada, who has established a new family and was awarded the title of Mino Gold Mountain with 6,500 ken, has not returned to his hometown in Shinano for a long time. Now he is following him with a smile: "Yamashiro Mamoru is too careful, hahahahaha."

Except for the Kaijin Shimankan Takanashi clan, Shinano, Kai, Ene and other places have all become direct leaders of the shogunate, and most of the wealthy Chinese people in various places have been sent far away.

Even Sanada Masayuki's eldest brother Sanada Nobutsuna was transferred to Bizen Province Tenjinzan 25,000 kan. As for Ashikaga Yoshihide's friend Yoshihide Asahina, Lord of Kakegawa Castle, Asahina Yoshitsune went to Kishu Yukawa 30,000 kan, and Fukashi Castle lord Ogasawara Yoshisada changed the title of Sanuki to 40,000 kan.

Matsushita Yoshimasa has also gradually increased to 25,000 kan from Mount Sawa in Jiangnan. Even the most humble Kasuga Yoshimoto was granted the title of 5,000 kan from Yamato Tamonzan and served as the envoy of the shogunate in Kyoto.

The whole world gradually became clear after the Battle of Shitarahara. The most powerful resistance force in the Kinei, Ishiyama Honganji Temple Master Xian Yuren, after seeing hundreds of cannons that can isolate land and sea, and marrying the daughter of the shogun for his son, Exit Stone Mountain immediately.

According to the plan, Honganji Temple needs to be divided into two parts, and the shogunate funds the reconstruction of the main temple of Honganji Temple in Luoyang. However, the separation of politics and religion in Honganji Temple shows that one of the two sons of the Master returned to secular life and became the daimyo Otani clan, while the other continued to serve as the Buddhist master.

As for the territory of the Otani clan, it was really impressive. The five prefectures of Echizen and the whole country of Kaga totaled 183,300 kan, ranking second among the foreign daimyo. Such an unprecedentedly large territory caused a sensation in Honganji Temple. The officials who were originally extremely dissatisfied with the evacuation of Ishiyama Castle immediately divided their positions and began to make a decision.

Compared with a Dharma Master, a top-level powerful name with more than 180,000 guan is the life pursuit of a good man.

Besides, the shogunate only promised a marriage, but it was not certain which son he would marry or which son would become the daimyo.

Secondly, the Hokuriku Ichigo sect is already very independent. How can they be willing to drop a big name on their head?

After the pacification of Echizen and the entry of Hoshino Shonin into Hokuriku, about 20,000 believers who followed from Kinai gradually came into conflict with the local Ichikiki sect forces in Hokuriku.

But the shogunate ignored him!

Ashikaga Yoshihide invited Uesugi Kenshin to serve as the shogunate, and Uesugi Kenshin was extremely happy to go to Luo.

Before leaving, he summoned 110,000 troops from Kanto and took advantage of the spring famine to work with the shogunate's envoys to suppress the Hojo clan.

Or die! Or block Harima Country!

The general trend of the world could not be stopped. The Hojo clan gave up and surrendered their territory obediently. Following Uesugi Kenshin in Kamiro, he became the vanguard of the shogunate's army in Sanyodo's crusade.

Due to his adopted son and marriage to Yamauchi, Uesugi Kenshin ranked first in the shogunate's clan. But after the boss went to Luo, he also knew that after the world was peaceful, the Uesugi family might not be able to lose its tail.

So on the surface, the Uesugi family rose instead of falling. In fact, his adopted son Noto Hatakeyama Yoshiharu became independent, his son-in-law Ueno Nagano Yamori became independent, and his uncle Kaizu Takanashi Masayori became independent. Even Higashi Ueno's 50,000-gun pension fund for his adoptive father Ken Masagi Uesugi was independently handed over to his parents and children.

After the death of the Kanto tycoon, Mr. Uesugi Shihken, Ogitani Uesugi Yoshinori was appointed Lord of Matsuyama Castle. This nominal son-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu turned into the shogunate. The last son of Kenkatsu Uesugi became independent, succeeded the Fukaya Uesugi clan, and became the Lord of Kawagoe Castle.

The Ota Masaki of the Edo Ota clan and the Ota Shisei of the Iwatsuke Ota clan had long since separated, but the father and son transferred their titles to Sagami country in one fell swoop. He suppressed the old territory of Hojo for the shogunate and supervised the local area.

Kanto and Kinai are both determined, and there is no need to mention the rest. The Hojo family cannot beat Uesugi Kenshin, but it is still very powerful to beat the Mori family without the old man Mori Gen.

Under attack from both land and water, the Mori clan surrendered 250,000 kusen of territory from the five kingdoms of Nagato, Anyun, Iwami, Bingo, and Bichu.

As for why Zhou Fang and Izumo are missing? Ashikaga Yoshihide, under the advice of Sanada Masayuki, revived Ouchi and Niko!

With these two hard-core anti-Maori brothers, even if Maori becomes the best in the world, he will not be able to rebel as he pleases.

The situation in Kyushu was much more complicated. The Ryuzoji clan defeated the Otomo clan in a joint battle at Imama, and the Shimazu clan began to attack Southern Kyushu. The shogunate wanted to intervene in the affairs of Kyushu, but in fact some of them had no name.

So in the end, in the name of reviving the Shaoer clan and the Kikuchi clan, the shogunate mobilized an army of 120,000 people and marched towards Kyushu. The Ryuzoji clan, which had not yet fully risen, was so fierce that they started to attack without saying a word, and more than 10,000 people blocked them. , trying to defeat the 55,000 troops of the Mori, Ouchi, Nizi and shogunate forces who landed.

As a result, the ground was washed away by more than 200 naval guns at sea, and Nabeshima Naoshige, who was about to cross the river, was killed on the spot. The head of the Ryuzoji family, Ryuzoji Nobusu-den, was killed by the rebels. , important generals were killed in the pursuit. After rushing back to Hizen Saga Castle, Ryuzoji Takanobu burned the whole city on fire and retreated to Matsuura.

Organizations like the Matsuura Party were originally included in the shogunate's purge plan. Their small broken ships were not enough for the shogunate's navy's Franco guns to clean the decks, so they should all be smashed into pieces.

At the end of Western Kyushu, the shogunate took a big kid from the son-in-law of the second son-in-law, the Tsukushi clan, and named him the second son-in-law, and sealed him in the second half of the country. The army entered Hihou one after another, preparing to support the Kikuchi clan and rebuild their family.

On the other side, the shogunate used the Tosa Ichijo clan to rebel against Otomo and resist the king. All the officials of the Ichijo clan in Tosa, Iyo, and Awa were all questioned. Although this is obviously an unreasonable request, with the shogunate at its peak, right and wrong no longer matter. The forces of the four countries rose up in resistance. Ashikaga Yoshihide had anticipated it, and the expeditionary army went directly to the island with the help of the Awaji Anzai family and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi who led the way.

Sweeping!

The Shikoku were pacified, and since Bungo landed on the island, they attacked the Otomo clan with the Western army that entered Higo.
