    The price given by the Miyoshi family's agent was sixty fen per ashigaru and one kiwen per samurai, but Matsui Yukan was not satisfied with this price, especially since this was a business involving an enemy, which was naturally much more expensive than normal sales.  , the price he gave was 500 wen each for soldiers, 5 guan wen each for samurai, and the price for famous and employed samurai was calculated separately.  Although this price is not as outrageous as the price paid for the redemption of Siguozhong, it is still black enough. The agent of Sanhaojia said that except for Shancheng Zhong who did not want it, all the more than 4,000 people ate it. The other party already knew that his identity was exposed, so he simply  They started to play the trick of asking for high prices and paying back the money, and the two sides had a great time arguing with each other.  Kiragi, who was behind Matsui Yukan, was not in a hurry, but Miyoshi Chokei was a little anxious. The people of Kinki were showing signs of instability. The Hatakeyama family was as golden a name as the Hosokawa family in Kinki.  Hatakeyama Takamasa shouted out, and those Chinese people who were not clear-headed picked up their samurai swords and prepared to raise the flag of rebellion.  It is said that Hanoi and Kii are gathering military strength. Once they are allowed to send troops, the army he recruited from the four countries can only go to war with Hatakeyama Takamasa in Hanoi. This is not in line with Miyoshi Nagakei's strategic goals. He wants to suppress Kyoto first.  That little general wanted to avenge his unlucky brother first, instead of quarreling with Hatakeyama Takamasa in Kawachi.  Miyoshi Nagakei tried to reach peace with Hatakeyama Takamasa, but the young governor, who had lived under house arrest and exile since childhood, dismissed Miyoshi Nagakei's proposal. He was very sympathetic or sympathetic to Ashikaga Yoshit身's experience.  He also had some special thoughts about the shogunate. In short, Miyoshi Changqing's efforts were destined to come to nothing.  Hatakeyama Takamasa has lived a wandering life since he was a child, and once experienced the pain of being under house arrest. Although he did not go to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshito, the two have become close pen pals recently. Ashikaga Yoshito's Secret  He sent someone to contact him, intending to assassinate Yusa Changjiao, who controlled the national affairs of Hanoi, when Hatakeyama Masakuni died of illness, so as to give him a chance to gain power.  Therefore, the young Hatakeyama Takamasa agreed to this proposal without hesitation, even though Ashikaga Yoshit身 was younger than him. Then the two naturally formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly fight against Miyoshi Nagakei. Ashikaga Yoshit身 also promised to drive away Miyoshi Nagakei.  It can be said that among the many reasons for giving him the position of leader, only being the leader is the most attractive to him. No governor of the Hatakeyama family can resist the attraction of the leader.  The Hatakeyama family has not had the taste of leadership in the past sixty years since the Ming Dynasty coup. So when Ashikaga Yoshito offered this in exchange, not only Hatakeyama Takamasa was moved, but also the Yasumi clan and his father who had just died.  Yusa Shinjiao also supported Hatakeyama Takamasa. I wonder what Yuzano Shinjiao would think when he found out that his father was assassinated by this ally.  As the situation in Kinki took a turn for the worse, Matsui Yuzhen's negotiations also took a new turn. Perhaps Matsui Yuzhen went against common sense and refused to let go of the price, causing the negotiations to reach a deadlock and making him very passive. Miyoshi's family urged him again.  In a hurry, the businessman from Sakai Town could only grit his teeth and agreed to his request. Each soldier was five hundred mon, and the samurai was five kanmon. The price for senior samurai increased from ten to fifty times, and the final transaction price was as high as  Twelve thousand seven hundred essays.  This staggering price made Yoshitoki Kira excited, and at the same time he lamented the wealth of the Miyoshi family. The Miyoshi family collects tens of thousands of "yage" from Sakai Town, and operates dyes for printing and dyeing in Awa and Sanuki, Shikoku's hometown.  The Blue House, as well as the very popular timber in Kinki, Saigoku, Tokai and other regions are very profitable. Relying on these two financial incomes, the Sanyoshi family can use Awa as a stronghold to control Sanuki and Awaji to penetrate Kinki little by little and dominate.  Yusa Chokyo was assassinated smoothly, which also indicates that the assassination operations against other people will also start. Miyoshi Yoshihide and Anzhai Fuyasu are both very cautious people, and both of them are not in the Kinei, allowing the assassination team to mix up.  The difficulty of going in to carry out assassinations increased exponentially, and the final result also confirmed this judgment. No one was exposed without touching them, and they could only end in failure.  The Matsunaga brothers are not good at fighting either. The two of them controlled a lot of power in the Miyoshi family with both civil and military skills. They relied on caution and precautions. As soon as the signs of assassination appeared, they were snuffed out quietly without even a trace of wind.  There was no sound, and no one knew whether those assassins were alive or dead in the end.  Only Miyoshi Nagakei, who was least likely to be assassinated, was almost assassinated. Because of the incident involving Hatakeyama Takamasa, Miyoshi Nagakei was in a state of unrest, so Miyoshi Nagakei invited the Yamato Saru Music Master to perform saru music to relieve his worries. This decision almost killed him.  To kill him, three assassins wearing masks and performing sarugaku immediately burst out of the sarugaku master's team and stabbed Miyoshi Changqing with the sharp blades in their hands, causing him to be caught off guard and stabbed.  Fortunately, his attendants reacted quickly and took care of these assassins in a few seconds. Miyoshi Changqing, who had a false alarm, besides recuperating from his injuries, kept losing his temper. As a result, it was reported that he was seriously ill again within a few days.  , leaving the government affairs at home to?Mikyu and Matsunagahide, who returned from Shoryuji Castle, moved to a annex near Sakai Town for training.  In early October, 20,000 Shikoku legions from the Miyoshi family landed in Kinki one after another. The general was Yoshihide Miyoshi, who had the highest military rank among the four Miyoshi brothers. Under his command, the Shikoku legions first suppressed the rebellion in Settsu Kingdom.  Seeing that the situation was not going well, Itami immediately surrendered, knelt in front of Miyoshi Yoshihide and cried that he had been deceived by Hatakeyama Takamasa, and swore that he would be loyal to the Miyoshi family for the rest of his life and would never rebel again.  The Hatakeyama family was also shot while lying down. Itami personally rebelled without even saying hello to them. There was no deception at all. But the old man didn't care. He didn't care who he sold as long as he could survive the danger. In the end, Miyoshi Yoshiken considered Tanba.  Rebellion couldn't wait any longer, so he lifted it up from high and put it down gently, allowing him to finally escape.  ??Then Miyoshi Yoshihide led an army to invade Tanba Kingdom. Now the Hatano family panicked and hurriedly tried to capture the city. Later, his retainers persuaded him not to resist. Wouldn't it be over if he went out and kept his head down?  So Hatano Harumichi, whose brain was not developed enough, surrendered obediently, and the turmoil in Tamba ended before it even started.  At the same time, Izumi's guardian, Matsuura Hizenmori, who was affiliated with the Miyoshi family, urgently reported to the Miyoshi family. Seeing that the situation was not good, Hatakeyama Takamasa changed direction and sent out Izumi.  This change almost injured the waist of the Miyoshi family, and all the arrangements for Settsu Kingdom were ruined. What was even worse was that the Miyoshi Ch身kei Festival in Sakai Town became very dangerous. As Hatakeyama Takamasa led an army of 18,000 to Izumi  Kingdom, the news came that the troops were approaching Kishiwada Castle. Matsuura Hizen Mamoru quickly led more than a thousand troops to huddle in Kishiwada Castle and defend the castle. Miyoshi Yoshihide hastily subdued the Tanba people, and hurriedly led 20,000 Shikoku troops to retreat.  Head towards Izumi and rush toward Izumi.  Seeing the new turmoil in Kinki, Ashikaga Yoshito became restless again. He recruited Yoshitoki Kira from Sakamoto Castle to discuss the matter of leaving Kinki. Ashikaga Yoshito said to him: "Miyoshi Nagakei is seriously ill! It is said that the wound is suppurating!  He is unconscious, and the area around Sakai Town has been blocked. As long as the Hatakeyama Army breaks into Sakai Town, Miyoshi's family will be finished!" Kira Yoshishi looked at the military report and put it aside, shook his head and said, "Miyoshi Chokei is just seriously ill!  The situation does not mean that the Miyoshi family will collapse. As long as he is alive, we cannot take it lightly. The shogunate does not have enough troops. If we get involved rashly, it is very likely that this family fortune will be ruined. " "You mean to miss the opportunity and slip away from us.  Go? No! This is what I have worked hard to create, and I must not give up like this!" Ashikaga Yoshito's attitude was very firm, and Kira Yoshitoki's opinion was rejected with a wave of his hand.  Ninagawa himself made a timely comment: "Does the Lord intend to send troops now? How about joining forces with Hatakeyama Takamasa and defeating the Miyoshi family together?" Odate Harimitsu shook his head and said, "At this time, we are in trouble with the Hatakeyama family.  Taken together, I feel that something is wrong. If we must march, we should attack Settsu Kingdom. " Ashikaga Yoshito is not sure how to send troops. His understanding of military strategy is very superficial, and it is also because of Kira.  Yoshitoki was also very trusting, and asked again: "Yoshitoki, tell me your opinion." "Yes! If we must go out to battle, it is inevitable to conquer Settsu. Settsu is adjacent to Kyoto, the Hideka clan of the Yamashiro Kingdom, and the Miyoshi will celebrate this day.  At that time, I happened not to be in charge of Akutagawa Mountain Castle. The capture of this city would be a great shock to the people of Settsu Province and a huge blow to the Miyoshi family," Kira Yoshito said seriously.  Ashikaga Yoshit身 was overjoyed and immediately made the decision: "Okay! As a military representative, you will go out to set up the battlefield and seize Akutagawa Mountain Castle for me!"
