I didn't expect that this matter could cause such an uproar. I even had a quarrel in the group for half the night yesterday. Because I talked about it very thoroughly in the group yesterday, and I saw someone posting some very strange posts today, I think it is necessary to open a separate post today to talk about the work. There are always people who can¡¯t keep up with my pace, which makes me very embarrassed. Every time I think I have explained it clearly enough in the book, but there are still people who can¡¯t understand it and even quarrel Let¡¯s stop talking and get to the point. First of all, what everyone needs to understand is that the Imagawa clan is a branch of the Kira clan, not a branch with no status at all, but the Imagawa clan, the lord of Suruga. They are members of the Ashikaga clan, and their status is second only to the third leader, Hosokawa. existence. Secondly, Imagawa Yoshimoto must marry Yoshitoki Kira to strengthen the bond of marriage. This is the foreign policy planned by the Imagawa family as early as 1550 after the Battle of Fukakusa. The reason is very simple. The entire Mikawa Kingdom belongs to the Kira family. The four western counties belong to the upper Kira family, and the four eastern counties belong to the lower Kira family. Nowadays, the Imagawa family's creation of a Mikawa Kira family was not successful. Imagawa Yoshimoto married his daughter Tsuruhime to Kira Yoshian, and brought the son-in-law of the "Mikawa Kira family" to Suruga to be raised as a canary. The purpose was to strengthen the The control of the Three Rivers Kingdom. Then it became a contradiction for the Kami-Kira family to retain self-control over the four western counties and at the same time have the Kyoto Kira family as an aid. Imagawa Yoshimoto originally appeased Kami-Kira and won over Kira Yoshi to consolidate his rule. Now Mikawa's rule is impregnable. It's time to reduce power. This is also the inherent thinking of kings since ancient times. But how to reduce power? When there is Kiragi, there is no weakening at all, and maybe it will cause trouble. On the other hand, Yoshitoki Kira is also worried that Yoshimoto Imagawa will play tricks, such as making a fuss about his brother Yoshihiro Kira, who has been imprisoned, and using his name to create something in Mikawa. Yoshitoki Kira will be unable to sit still. . Because the retainers of the Kira family in Kyoto are mainly composed of Mikawa samurai, if there is a problem on the home front, the samurai will cause trouble, especially now that the Kira family has just arrived in Kinai a few years ago and has not yet completely escaped the influence of Mikawa. ??????????????? Then this becomes another situation, that is, the straw is afraid of both sides, and neither side dares to act rashly, so the only option is to strengthen the bond through marriage. But Imagawa Yoshimoto has no daughter! It is definitely too late to rush to have a daughter now, so the only option is to adopt a daughter. But who to adopt? Imagawa Yoshimoto chose Sekiguchi Chi-Naga's daughter, Sekiguchi Sena, also known as the famous Tsukuyama Temple, Tokugawa Ieyasu's wife. Everyone knows who this woman is and what she has done. You said that although the protagonist is not well versed in the history of Japan's Warring States Period, he has played several games of Dark Shame. How could he not know who Sena Sekiguchi is? Not to mention that it is impossible for her to be the main wife, even the concubine may not be willing. Regardless of whether she has been wronged in history, in Kira Yoshitoki's eyes, this is not a good woman. So what should you do if you can¡¯t have it? Sekiguchi Chinaga was ordered to submit a covenant. The so-called covenant is similar to the European Middle Ages, which relies on marriage to maintain the covenant. How can one submit a covenant without a marriage contract? How can he go back and explain if the covenant fails? Even if he lingers in the Kira family, Sekiguchi Chinaga will never go back with his head down, especially if his daughter is rejected by something so embarrassing. He will not have the shame to hang out in the Imagawa family in the future. And here, Kira Yoshitoki does not really want to refuse the alliance. An alliance with the Imagawa family is necessary to ensure the stability of the Mikawa rear area and the inviolability of interests, but he does not want that Sekiguchi Sena, so he can only change it. People. So who should I replace? Still asking the same question, why choose Ii Naotora? There are reasons for Naomasa Ii, but there are also other reasons. First of all, it¡¯s okay that the Sekiguchi clan comes from the common people of the Imagawa clan, but to what extent does it mean that they are common people? I can describe it to you. A branch of the Imagawa clan, a branch of the Horikoshi Imagawa clan, a branch of the Sena clan, and the governor of the Sekiguchi clan, Sekiguchi Chikinaga. It is also a branch of the Imagawa Yoshimoto clan, a branch of the concubine family, but no matter how you say it, it is also a branch of the Imagawa family, and it is also the [Imagawa Punishment Department Shaofu] family. Then Sekiguchi Chinaga served as an envoy to the Kira family. It was not news in the Imagawa family. It was not surprising that he went on missions again and again. However, not many people knew that he was responsible for forming alliances and even married his daughter. Only a few people. ?????????? If Sekiguchi Chinaga¡¯s marriage fails in the end and his daughter does not get married, it will be a slap in the face if she is replaced by another family, such as the daughter of the Sena clan of the Soke family or the Horikoshi clan of the higher Soke family. The Sekiguchi family can commit seppuku, and as the host, Imagawa Yoshimoto will also have to lose his face. ?????????????????????????????????????????????It's appropriate for the crowd to arrive, but then the problem arises. On the one hand, Pu Daizhong will know the inside story sooner or later, and later on, he will plant the seeds of rampage and internal fighting. Secondly, is Imagawa Yoshimoto really confident that he will get a powerful son-in-law from a powerful family man? This will have a great impact on the stability of the Imagawa family system, and even affect the future governing authority of him and his legitimate son, the Imagawa clan. For example, during the Hanacang Rebellion, Fukushima Masashige, a relative, could rely on his nephew Xuanguang Hui to investigate, and he dared to compete with Taiyuan Xuezhai and Imagawa Jugini of the Meiyue Chengfang sect. Once a powerful retainer rises, he will bring great power to the country. The Lord brings a lot of pressure. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Mikawa one will definitely not be good, and the Kira family will not be willing to do it, so choose among the people from the Suruga Enji country! There are many suitable ones, as long as they are Chinese people who have always been suppressed miserably by the Imagawa family, but the prerequisite is that the Chinese people cannot be small. If they are small, people will think that the Imagawa family is not sincere and look down on the Kira family. Who can more suitable? Yes, it¡¯s the Jingyi family! Why is this family? I wrote it very clearly in the book. The Jingyi family is a powerful countryman of the Yuanjiang Kingdom, the lord of the Jingyi Valley, and a large countryman who ranks at the forefront of the Yuanjiang Kingdom. In 1515, during the Ii Naohei era, the Ii family united with the Shiba clan and the Kira clan to fight against the invasion of the Imagawa clan, the lord of Suruga. In the end, the Shiba clan who cheated his teammates collapsed, and the Kira clan lost his pants and lost all the territory of the Toe Kingdom. The Ii family was also affected by the attack, and became the key target of the Imagawa family. Why is this happening? The Shiba family and the Kira family are famous Minamoto clans. One is the Owari Ashikaga family and the other is the Kamizuki Ashikaga family. Moreover, the latter is the clan of the Imagawa family. What can the Imagawa family do? Even if the opponent is captured alive, he must accept the mediation of the shogunate and let him go secretly. But the Jing Yi family is different. This family is clearly at odds with the Jin Chan family. How can this be done? If the Imagawa family gets angry, they will definitely destroy this family. Then the Ii family suffered a tragedy. The three brothers Ii Naomune, Ii Naomichi, and Ii Naoyoshi were all unlucky. The second and third brothers were called to Sunfu and secretly executed for treason. The eldest brother died in battle in order to regain the trust of the Imagawa family. At the foot of Mikawa Kuni Tahara Castle. In the Ii Naomori era, marginalized people were still discriminated against and suppressed. However, this family was similar to the Matsudaira family. They were all weaklings who could not be beaten to death. In an environment far worse than that of the Matsudaira family, they still tenaciously pulled them back and regained their independence. Even if he is added to the end of the list of important ministers of the Imagawa family, it is still better than before. So, what are the benefits of Imagawa Yoshimoto choosing him? First of all, the Ii family will definitely be very well-behaved when they are hit one after another (it is indeed very well-behaved in history, Ii Naomori died in Okezama, Ii Naoki was arrested, and the entire family was facing destruction before taking refuge with the Mikawa Matsudaira family). Secondly, this family has been severely suppressed, and there is no need to worry about the envy or jealousy of the first generation or generation, or worry that he can rise up and threaten himself. Who cares about the attitude of a little strong man? Finally, since Kira Yoshitoki did not object to this candidate, Imagawa Yoshimoto was also happy to give him a favor. As for whether the Ii family will join the Kira family, they don¡¯t care at all. They can just surrender the Ii Valley¡¯s large territory, and the Imagawa family can confiscate it openly. Where can I find this good thing? Imagawa Yoshimoto has no forward and backward vision, and it is impossible to know what kind of famous general Ii Naomasa will be in which time and space. All he can calculate is that the Kira family wants to use the people of the Toe country to set up a plan. It is hard to say what the specific plan is. But he is confident to deal with all this, because he still has a caged bird in his hand! Kira Yoshiki is the Achilles heel of the Mikawa Kira family. As long as he holds this card, Kira Yoshiki will not dare to make small moves against Mikawa. As for the Jing Yi family from Yuanjiang country? He had been conquered by his father for forty years, and the Ii family was almost destroyed. What was Imagawa Yoshimoto afraid of? Is it difficult for someone to tell him to be careful about Matsudaira Takechiyo, whom he despises? Then let me talk about the attitudes of both parties towards marriage. For Imagawa Yoshimoto, alliance is the most important. A successful alliance is a diplomatic victory in itself. Stabilizing Mikawa's dominance system is more important than anything else. This involves the Imagawa family's grand strategy. Issues such as paving the way for the future attack on Owari must be completed under the stable Mikawa dominance system, so this must not be compromised. As long as the construction of this system is completed, the Imagawa family's dominance over Mikawa will be greatly enhanced, even far away. This is beyond the control of Mikawa by the Imagawa family in history, which is where the political wisdom of Taiyuan Xuezhai and Imagawa Yoshimoto lies. As for the adopted daughter of the marriage, it doesn¡¯t mean much. If Kiragi is not satisfied, just change her to another one. The premise cannot be to guard against possible conspiracy. For Yoshitoki Kira, alliance is also very important. Mikawa is his rear base, the hometown of all Mikawa samurai, and DaStability on the front is more important than anything else. Only stability in the rear can calm people's hearts and allow the warriors to have no worries. In the future, there will be time to slowly solve the problem of Mikawa's ties to the Kira family, and try to minimize the impact of Mikawa's domestic influence on the Kira family, etc. What¡¯s more, Kira Yoshitoki didn¡¯t care much about the candidate. The Ii family was an unexpected surprise. Before that, he had never thought about marrying the Imagawa family, let alone planning in advance, and then waiting for an opportunity to replace Ii. The Imagawa family did a very good job of keeping it secret, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was very confident that no outsiders would know. So what I am analyzing here is the necessity of the alliance between the two parties, as well as the marriage that is a by-product of the alliance, and how the marriage was replaced by Naotora Ii. This is not a decision made on the head, there are many pros and cons weighed in it. ¡°Perhaps if Wu Mei didn¡¯t write these things out, people would think, ¡°Oh, this paragraph is too naive.¡± Wu Mei felt that if she wrote them all, some people would definitely say, ¡°Look, you are writing too slowly, you need to speed up!¡± If Wu Mei doesn't write, someone will immediately ask, why are you doing this So Wu Mei is very embarrassed, and I don't know what to say. At the end, I will emphasize the group number: 7813273. Wu Mei will not be in the book review area often, but in the group I'm here every day. If you have something to say in the group, Wu Mei will see it as soon as possible, including updates on bug catching In addition, I would like to thank several book friends in the group for helping Wu Mei catch bugs. If there are no girls to help check, Wu Mei is very lazy and just ignores it after writing it, so I am so sad!
