Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On June 12, Hosokawa Fujitaka brought good news. The twelve Kansai ships were finally completed after more than a hundred Shima shipwrights worked day and night. Because the construction period was too tight, there was no time to make other preparations. In order to complete the task as soon as possible,  Hosokawa Fujitaka also mobilized Hida workers to help, and hired dozens of farmers near Katada to help cut down trees. It took him a month to finally build twelve Kansai ships. This was already the ultimate speed. One more ship  Can't do it either.  Kira Yoshihi managed a few words, and allocated another 100 kanfu to reward the Shima boatmen and Hida workers. Hosokawa Fujitaka also received a reward of 50 kanwen. When he received the money, this handsome man with outstanding literary talent and good looks  He was already extremely slovenly. It is said that when he got home, he cried bitterly for a long time while holding the 50 pieces of money. He didn't know what happened.  The newly appointed navy general Kuuki Shigetaka immediately led more than two hundred brothers to familiarize themselves with the new ship. According to him, he could drive this kind of ship with his eyes closed. The craftsmanship of the Shima shipwrights also made them feel reassured. It would not take three to five days to complete it.  He went to war in a boat.  In mid-June, the news that the Miyoshi family was about to go to Kyoto quickly spread to the kinai like a virus. At this juncture, Miyoshi Nagakei's confidant General Imamura Keimitsu, who was in Kyoto, caused another major incident, because he forcibly expropriated land.  There was a fierce conflict between Qian and the townspeople of Kyoto. The townspeople rallied around the official Sh身nenshimura of Nagoon Kunimitsu, the official of Hirohashi H身naka, and fought continuously with the Miyoshi led by Imamura Keiman in the capital city.  Although Imamura Qingman's side has a large number of people and well-equipped equipment, the side of the Voicer Village is not without its advantages. With the support of merchants, underground people and the imperial court behind it, the Voicer Village has been patiently working with Imamura.  Qingman played hide-and-seek, and the two sides fought from Zuojing to Youjing, and from Xiajing to Shangjing. In ten days, they fought more than a dozen times, big and small, which was really lively.  On June 18, Imamura Keimaru seized the opportunity and successfully blocked the village of the sagewenshi and killed him. Dozens of townspeople accompanying him were also massacred after surrendering. This tragedy immediately caused an uproar in Kyoto, and the court  An order was issued asking the Miyoshi family to properly handle the big commotion, but Miyoshi Nagakei chose to ignore the court's order, and Imamura Kemitsu still swaggered through Kyoto.  Such a rampant Miyoshi family immediately aroused anger inside and outside Kyoto. When Imamura Keimi appeared on the streets of Kyoto again on June 23, he was swarmed by the already waiting Kyoto townspeople and was struck from top to bottom by the short swords held by the townspeople.  After being stabbed hundreds of times, he died on the spot. The dozen or so Miyoshi samurai who accompanied him ran away when the situation was bad, and fled all the way to Akutagawa Mountain Castle to report Miyoshi Changqing.  Miyoshi Nagakei of Akutagawa Mountain Castle was furious when he heard this. Someone in Kyoto dared to kill his trusted general. This was simply contempt for the authority of his Miyoshi family. So Matsunaga Hide decisively remonstrated: "This is a provocation from the Kyoto public to my Miyoshi family.  You cannot establish your authority without asking for help. I respectfully ask my lord to order a crusade against the lawless people!" Miyoshi Nagakei thought for a moment and then ordered: "Order Settsu, Izumi and other countries to increase their troops by two thousand, and my family's allies, the Hatakeyama family, will also join forces to increase the number of troops!  Three thousand soldiers! Icun and Hinata, go back and prepare to go out to Kyoto tomorrow!" "Yes!" Shihe Icun and Miyoshi Changyi took the order and retreated.  When Miyoshi Nagakei decided to go into battle, Ashikaga Yoshit身 also made the decision to go out to Kyoto. When the shogunate's imperial ministers arrived at Sakamoto Castle, it was the evening of June 24th, the day after Imamura Keimitsu was killed.  , the first thing Kira Yoshitoki did after receiving the imperial letter was to summon the retainers and announce the order to go out into battle.  "Is it finally time to go out? I've been waiting for a long time!" Kato Kyouaki, who is only 19 years old, is only an ashigaru bantou and one of the first veterans to join Saijo Bei. He has always been Kiragi.  He considered himself a confidant of the time.  "That's right! My family should be out in battle too! Seven thousand troops are an incredible force!" Ashigaru General Okouchi Tsunadaka, who had just come from Mikawa, said in admiration while stroking his palms.  "It's time to go into battle, but it's a pity that Omi Ryobi hasn't trained well yet!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki glanced back and forth at the retainers in the hall with one eye, as if to determine the difference in expression on each person's face.  Kira Yoshishi leaned slightly and said: "Since I will go out into battle tomorrow, I will leave it to Fujitaka and your gentlemen to take care of Sakamoto Castle!" At dawn the next day, Aju put on the armor for Kira Yoshishi. He was wearing  The fumigated Weiwei t身maru worn by our ancestor Kira Mitsuru during the Frost Moon Troubles. This is the ancestral armor of the Kira family. Its status is not as high as that of the Genji eight collars, but it is suitable for him to wear, because the t身maru of the Kamakura period is very light.  Even if it was stretched several times, it would not make him breathless.  Before the sun rose, Kira Yoshitomo sat on the horse in accordance with the requirements of the battle ceremony and waited for the crowd to bring the horse over. Then it was time to eat. The general would cook three kinds of dishes and three cups of wine. Kira Yoshitoki was too old.  I have been drinking sweet rice wine instead since I was a child. Why should I use the number three? It is very particular, because it has been considered an auspicious number since the Asuka period.?Three, five, and seven, in addition to formations, also often appear on the battlefield of joint battles.  The three kinds of food are generally abalone, chestnut and kombu. The word abalone has the same pronunciation as "enemy", which means killing the enemy. The word "pound" has the same pronunciation as "victory" and is also called "win chestnut". The word "kombu" has the same pronunciation as "joy".  These three foods also have the meaning of bringing good luck. These three foods should be served in pottery respectively. Among them, there are five pieces of abalone, seven pounded chestnuts, and five pieces of kombu. There must be more chestnuts than the other two foods.  , I don＊t know what the reason is.  There are also things to pay attention to when eating three kinds of food. When eating abalone, you should eat it from the narrow end. Thinking about the wide one indicates a bright future. You can only drink the first glass of wine after eating the abalone. If the three glasses of wine are empty, they should be stacked on top of each other. When drinking, you should eat the abalone from the narrow end.  Drink from the top glass first, and the pourer must be a brave ashigaru general, then eat the boiled and peeled katsu chestnuts, and then drink the second glass of wine. The last kombu must be pulled hard and then bit off from the middle to eat, in order.  Finished the third glass of wine.  Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, after performing the Three Offerings Ceremony, Kira Yoshitsune shouted: "This battle must be won! The Kira family must win! The shogunate must win!" "This battle must be won! The Kira family must win! The shogunate must win!  We must win!" Hundreds of warriors shouted victory, and the scene was extremely lively.  "Go out!" As the troops waved, the Kira family's troops began to move out one after another.  On the afternoon of June 25, Kira Yoshitoki led an army of 7,000 troops to move to the Yamashina Basin on the east bank of the Kamogawa River, close to Kyoto, and then stopped because he had received news that the Miyoshi family's 20,000 troops were marching out of Kyoto. With the help of the Miyoshi family,  With strong logistical advantages, the army was pushed to Shoryuji Castle on the west bank of the Yodogawa River in one day on June 24. It was only four and a half miles away from Kyoto, and the Miyoshi family's troops were pointed directly at Kyoto.  "Kyoto is already in chaos. Some ministers packed their bags and took refuge in Enryakuji Temple, while others fled to the Asakura family. It is said that Hirohashi H身naka Nagon Kunimitsu has packed up his belongings and fled to Nakao Castle. Suddenly there is a rumor in Kyoto that the Miyoshi family is going to be burned down.  Kyoto avenged Imamura Keiman, and I don＊t know who is spreading this rumor." When Yamamoto Tokiyuki kept looking at Kiragi, the latter looked at him with an innocent face.  "How could I tell you that the assassination of Keiman Imamura was planned by Hattori ninjas? How could I tell you that the rumors were spread by Hattori ninjas? How could I bring the imperial court into the camp if I didn't do this?" Kira Yoshitoki also felt that he  He is too focused on using tactics, which is not masculine enough, but he is only nine years old. How can he be so masculine? Why don't he take a wooden sword to a knight?  That's seeking death!  "Hosokawa Harumoto is an idiot. He causes trouble at parties and runs faster than a rabbit when something happens! He retreated to Nakao Castle with a shameful face. I don't know what His Highness Kamikata thinks of him." Ashikaga Yoshit身 relied on those more than a hundred people  It is impossible to say that Hosokawa Harumoto is not welcome to Nakao Castle, but this guy is definitely good at causing trouble.  But everyone still has to give him face, not only because of the 3,000 men in his hand, but also because of his brother-in-law Rokkaku Yoshihide. Rokkaku Yoshihide has already advanced the 8,000-strong army to the south bank of the Uji River, but his attack will only reach  That's it, because the Rokkaku family said they didn't have enough boats to cross the river, so they could only stop here. They didn't know what kind of boats were plying the river.  Anyway, he was facing Kira Yoshitoki's seven thousand troops across the river, and he made up his mind to watch the fire from the other side. Kira Yoshitoki didn't even bother to complain about this. The unreliable Rokkaku family and an extremely unreliable Rokkaku righteousness  Xian, what else could he say?  Let's make enough food and clothing by ourselves.  On June 27, the Miyoshi family who had been huddled in Shengryuji Castle finally made a move. However, he made a surprising move. The Miyoshi family actually divided their troops before the battle. Miyoshi Choitsu led eight thousand cavalry to advance in and out of Kyoto. Among them,  There were two thousand knights from the Shikoku clan, and the rest came from Settsu and Izumi clans. His mission was to punish the townspeople who participated in the unrest. After indiscriminately arresting and killing hundreds of townspeople, these eight thousand knights entered Jishoji Temple again. It seemed that the target was  It's Nakao Castle behind.  General Tokawa Ichino led 3,000 Shikoku soldiers, 2,000 Settsu soldiers, 3,000 reinforcements from the Hatakeyama family, and 2,000 Yamashiro soldiers led by Ise Sadataka, the deacon of the political office. A total of 10,000 horses crossed the Katsura River directly and advanced.  He stationed himself at Toba, south of Kyoto, and faced off against Kira Yoshitoshi's 7,000-strong army across the Kamogawa River. Miyoshi Yasunaga's son, Miyoshi Yasutoshi, led a 2,000-strong army at Shoryuji Castle and was responsible for monitoring Rokkaku Yoshihide as a special force.  movement.  〞〞〞〞 PS: The resolution of the uploaded map is too low.
