    In the evening, the Hosokawa family's troops retreated to camp near Jishoji Temple. There was a noisy quarrel for half the night. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the news came. The Hosokawa family was very disappointed with Hosokawa Harumoto's incompetence.  Jishoji Temple then united to force him to hand over military power. Hosokawa Harumoto was so angry that he left Jishoji Temple overnight. It is said that he went to complain to his father-in-law Rokkaku Sadeyori.  After much research, I learned that many relatives of the Hosokawa family had been killed. Among them were Hosokawa Harusada, the second son of Hosokawa Motonsune, the head of Shimowaizumi, and Hosokawa Haruhen, the former direct descendant of the Nougawa family. These two people were not those  Relatives with low status died immediately. Their death immediately caused riots within the Hosokawa family. Many people were disappointed with Hosokawa Harumoto's performance, so they forced him to leave Jishoji Temple and stay with the Rokkaku family.  Miyoshi Masakatsu and K¨­nishi Motonari of Settsu Public School clearly expressed their opposition. Both of them were eager to restore their lost family business and avenge Miyoshi Nagakei's persecution of them. Therefore, these two people are the most determined Hosokawa faction.  Qingyuan promised to restore their family name and seize the lost territory, so the two of them were least willing to see the Hosokawa family split.  But as Hosokawa Harumoto gradually loses power within Hosokawa, their status is also somewhat embarrassing. They must make a new choice, whether to support the shogunate or continue to stay in the Hosokawa family to make soy sauce. In the end, the two of them combined  , and also determined to try his luck in Damba.  Because the Shimokonishi clan of the Konishi Gensei branch is also closely related to Konishi Motomori, the governor of the Kamikonishi clan who comes from the Hatano family. Konishi Motomori is Hatano Harumichi's uncle. Hatano Aimeichi and Yanagimoto Kenji were there to give Konishi Yuan  Sheng took revenge and helped Hosokawa Harumoto destroy Hosokawa Takakuni.  It can be said that the Hatano family is also its own Hosokawa Harumoto faction. It was only after Miyoshi Nagakei married the daughter of the Hatano family as the first wife and the Eguchi War two years ago that his attitude changed. Later, Miyoshi Nagakei felt that the Hatano family was of little use.  , kicked the daughter of the Hatano family away, and married the daughter of Yusa Nagasaki, which made the whole Hatano family extremely angry.  Motonari Konishi is a loyal minister of the Hosokawa family, and Masakatsu Miyoshi is the direct son of Masakatsu Miyoshi, Sozo San. Both of them have a great hatred for Miyoshi Chokei, and they have always hoped that Harumoto Hosokawa can successfully avenge them, but at present, it seems that  It was impossible to come, so these two anti-three-good avant-garde people could only embark on the road to Damba with their dreams in mind.  Kira Yoshiki had no time to deal with the Hosokawa family's troubles, because he was entangled in another matter. Takigawa Tokimasu, who was acting as a roadblock, said to him: "Master! I want to go out!" "Yes!  Master! Sanya is also going to join the battle!" Sanya Honda ran up to help his sworn brother with a small wooden gun, and he started to cheer without even looking at his height.  "I, Gengoro, am ready to fight for the master of the hall!" Watanabe Gengoro specially changed his gun and ran over panting, trying to make a very convincing move.  "Mr. Master! Your Majesty is really" Shima Tokikatsu muttered for a long time without coming up with an idea, as if he was reluctantly doing it.  Kira Yoshi glanced at the group of four, and suddenly said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, so please go back and continue to practice hard!" "Huh?" The four young people, who together are less than thirty-five years old,  The young man was immediately dumbfounded. According to their plan, they should have obtained the permission from the family governor. What is the result now?  Honda Miya was a little confused and pulled Takigawa Tokihitsu and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, master of the museum?" "It probably means it's not allowed yet!" The friends were very frustrated. This time the raid failed shamefully again.  Takikawa Tokiyoshi said angrily: "Believe me! You will succeed next time!" The war has ended, but Kira Yoshitoki has no intention of disbanding the army, because Hattori Chief has sent another bad news.  Miyoshi Nagakei was furious after learning that his brother Tokawa Icun was killed in battle, and immediately announced that he would once again mobilize the troops of the four countries to go to Kyoto. However, this time there were mixed reactions within Miyoshi's family, and a reasonable result has not yet been negotiated.  "Continue to march to Kyoto? Do you really think that the more than 10,000 prisoners in our hands are just a joke? If we won't sit down and negotiate for peace after losing the war, Miyoshi Changyi will not want it? The body of Shihe Icun is still in our hands."  Kira Yoshi was not in a hurry. Only 2,000 of Omi's 5,000 men remained. Mikawa was spared because of his arrangement, but would this kind of good luck happen again?  He wasn't sure.  It takes time and experience to rectify the military situation and calm the mood, treat the wounded and manage the prisoners. The imperial court asked the escaped Hirohashi Kunimitsu to come over to express condolences to the shogunate army. They said a lot of praise and sometimes used very subtle ways to test his confidence.  How sure are you of defeating Sanhao Changqing?  Kira Yoshitoki also understood Hirohashi Kunimitsu's difficulties. He had offended Miyoshi Nagakei and had been forced to stand in the shogunate's camp. It would be stupid if he still couldn't figure out the shogunate's strength. His test did not get the desired result. Kira  Yishi's answer to him was always so ambiguous.?Whether he admitted or denied it, Guoqiao Guoguang also felt that asking a ten-year-old child would not yield results, so he gave up.  The next day, another news came. In the spring hall of Jishoji Temple, Kira Yoshitoki said to Yamamoto Tokiyuki: "This time, Miyoshi Chokei's tone changed. He said that he was extremely disgusted with the Yodogawa people who stubbornly blocked Matsunaga Choyori from crossing the river for reinforcements.  So he ordered the Miyoshi army to capture the Yodogawa gang members, ordered the Awaji navy stationed at Awaji Toyasu to lead the Awaji navy, and strictly ordered him to destroy the Yodogawa gang members who were blocking the Kamogawa river! "Master, what do you think?"  Miyoshi Nagakei's change of tactics!" Yamamoto Kansuke said categorically without even thinking about it: "The Miyoshi family has no spare efforts, so they will not be willing to admit defeat like this, so they sent out naval forces to destroy the relatively weak but important Yodogawa people.  In order to take control of the Kinai Waterway, when the situation changes between the two sides, it will be meaningless for us to return to Sakamoto Castle. " "Yes! Sakamoto Castle is located on the shore of Lake Biwa at the source of the Uji River, which connects the Katsura River, Kamogawa, and  Once the Miyoshi family realized the importance of many tributaries such as the Uji River and the Kizugawa River, not only did Kyoto, which was adjacent to the Katsura River and Kamogawa River, become very dangerous, but even Sakamoto Castle became no longer stable." Kira Yoshi rubbed it sorely.  My eyes felt very tricky.  The Yodogawa is the largest river in the Kinai, including Yamashiro, Omi, Settsu, Kawachi, and Yamato. This river runs through almost all the prosperous areas of the Kinai, and there are countless other tributaries and branches. The Kinai relies on complex and dense  The waterway network gives the region its location advantage. It is densely populated and has many merchants. It also assumes the important role of Japan's political, economic and cultural center.  The Kira family relied on information asymmetry, control of waterways, and the advantage of surprise to successfully defeat the Miyoshi family's famous star Juga Icun and chase him to death. This is the limit of what can be achieved with the comprehensive advantages of many aspects, even if there are  With so many advantages, the process of this battle is still extremely brutal. If one's advantages are exposed, control of the waterway is lost, and there is no chance of surprise, can this battle still be fought?  Fortunately, the Kira family does not have no chance of recovery. With good confidentiality work, Miyoshi Nagakei has not yet known that the Kamogawa River is blocked by the Kira family navy. The Miyoshi family has always mistakenly thought that the Yodogawa people were the main force. In fact, the Yodogawa people  In addition to transporting soldiers, they only did some soy sauce work of chasing defeated soldiers and watching prisoners. It is really unfair to say that they are the main force.  That afternoon, the leader of the Yodogawa clan, Yodogawa Sanemon, ran to Jishoji Temple for help. I don¡¯t know where he got the news. He was followed by a group of fleeing Yodogawa clan. As soon as Yodogawa Sanemon entered the door, he  He knelt down and saluted solemnly and said: "Your Majesty Kira, please save our suffering people on the Yodo River! These innocent people are being captured by Sanzhu, and we, the Yodogawa, are about to be unable to survive!" "Sanemon, don't worry.  , they are coming for you, as long as you stand up and show up, the civilians who have been innocently persecuted will be released." Kira Yoshishi deliberately emphasized the word "you", and Yodogawa Sanemon immediately reacted.  .  Yodogawa Sanemon took a deep breath and lamented: "As long as I stand up and surrender, will I be forgiven? I understand! I will surrender now! Farewell!" "Wait!" Seeing Yodogawa Sanemon  Turning around to leave, Kira Yoshitoki quickly asked someone to stop him, and said with a wry smile: "Sanemon is really impatient! What's the point of surrendering now? What the Miyoshi family wants is control of the Yodogawa waterway, your life  There's no point in getting in. What I want is for you to come forward and tell the Mihaoshi family where you are. If they know your whereabouts, they won't waste time interrogating those civilians. " "So that's what I mean!"  Sanemon is different! Sorry! Sorry!" Yodogawa Sanemon is a typical rough man. Although he is rude, he has a shrewd way of traveling. This kind of person is easy to think wildly. If Kira Yoshiki hadn't stopped him in a hurry, this  This guy is really going to mess things up.  For such a rough man with a lot of tricks, Kira Yoshiki chose to warn him immediately: "In short, Sanemon, don't worry about the safety of those civilians. The Miyoshi family's navy will be here soon. Call your troops."  Our subordinates are the top priority right now. If we can't break the Miyoshi family's naval encirclement, neither our navy nor you, the Yodogawa people, will end well." "We're already working on gathering our subordinates!  All the Yodogawa armed forces will gather in the Kamogawa River area before noon tomorrow, please rest assured, Your Highness Kira!" Yodogawa Sanemon bowed and retreated after receiving a satisfactory answer.
