Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The mother-in-law of Hosokawa Fujitaka is in an embarrassing position as the stepmother of the Numata family. She is the legitimate daughter of the Matsuki family, the imperial minister. Her father is Matsuki Kashichu Nagan Muneto, who died two years ago. Since she married Numata Mitsukane, who is older than him,  , she was blamed even for giving birth to a daughter. This woman also suffered many defeats. At the end of last year, she was hit hard by being blamed by her husband for giving birth to her seventh daughter. She was ordained at the Tiantai Sect Temple in Lingying Mountain.  The family's legal name is Chong'an Yuan.  Because her unexpected move caused new disputes in the family, Numata Mitsukane was so angry that she moved to Shingon Sect Tanita Temple to become a monk. In the end, she was persuaded to come back, but the anger in her heart did not go smoothly and she hid in  Nothing was done in their own Buddhist hall, so the older sons of the Numata family took this opportunity to drive out the brothers and sisters who were concubines.  Numata Mitsukane's concubine, Mrs. Awaya, and the five siblings she gave birth to were mentioned. Among them were two brothers, Numata Tairamitsu and Numata Yumitsu. They also had a younger brother, Acharya, who had just turned ten.  , the eldest sister is married to Shunxiu Muto, a wealthy family in Wakasa Tsuruga Bay, and there is a younger sister born in Tianwen in the ninth year, who will be old enough to have hairpins in a year.  Although this family can leave the family and rely on Mrs. Awaya's younger brother, the head of the Awaya family Katsuhisa Awaya, but this is not a permanent thing. The Numata family's life is uncomfortable, and the Awaya family does not have much food left because of a falling out with the master's family.  , so Numata Heimitsu brought his younger brother Yumitsu to try to find Hosokawa Fujitaka for a recommendation opportunity.  Although living under someone else＊s roof is a bit difficult, Mrs. Awaya has two adult men, and her son-in-law is also a native of Wakasa Province, so she can get some subsidies from her brother and son-in-law.  But the other Mrs. Yijian was much miserable.  She is already 24 years younger than Numata Mitsukane.  Even younger than his husband's four older sons and daughters.  The result is that none of the children she gave birth to have grown up. The eldest daughter is only one year older than Mrs. Awaya's youngest son Acharya. Moreover, she is currently pregnant with a child and is about to give birth. This woman is unwilling to say anything.  After leaving the family, her elder brother Yoshimi Suruga Morimasazu also strongly supported his sister.  The Yoshimi clan and the Awaya clan are both concubines of the Takeda clan of the Kaigen clan. They have been retainers of the Takeda clan for generations. When the Wakasa Takeda clan was separated more than a hundred years ago, they followed their master's family and moved to Wakasa country to take root.  Itumi Masao and Awaya Katsuhisa are also senior ministers of the current Wakasa Takeda family, but the relationship between these two families and the main Wakasa Takeda family is very subtle.  Mrs. Yoshimi didn＊t want to leave because Numata Mitsukane had always been obsessed with this side wife who was half his age. At the same time, she also had a strong preference for her children. She even named Mrs. Yoshimi＊s eldest son Kumagawa Maru. This shows that this  The old governor was also a lunatic. No wonder his sons wanted to drive others away. Sooner or later something would happen to such a father.  The biggest trouble is actually Numata Mitsukane, who is the boss of the house. Even if not counting Mrs. Yoshimi's soon-to-be-born child, he has a total of two wives.  There are two side wives and a total of twenty-five children.  Among them, there are eight men and seventeen women. They are truly fertile. Compared with him, those families who often worry about the loss of children are really ashamed to commit suicide by caesarean section.  For such a large family, food and clothing are indispensable. The simple meals of ordinary people are not enough. It is conceivable why the eldest son of the Numata family, Mitsunaga Numata, wants to evict people. Just because his family is six thousand stone tall, he still needs  How can he have the money to serve a group of half-brothers and sisters when he has to shoulder the military service of 500 people? Haven't he seen that his legitimate son and legitimate daughter have been born?  Of course, Kira Yoshitoki didn't care about these trivial things. He asked this question just to pave the way for the following topic, so with a sly smile on his face, Kira Yoshitoki covered his face with his pure Kyoto voice that had not yet been heard in his childlike voice.  He asked: "How many times did Hosokawa-don visit your father-in-law's house last year?" "Uh twice." The corners of Hosokawa Fujitaka's eyes twitched. He had already realized that Kiragi had asked him this question.  It's definitely up to no good.  "Then did you go to have a private meeting with Mrs. Rei?" The story of 19-year-old Hosokawa Fujitaka and nine-year-old Loli is still so exciting even after a year of silence, and the gossip of Kira Yoshinori is still raging.  Burning, it would be great to be able to tell the dark history of famous people during the Warring States Period.  "This isn't called a private meeting! It's an upright meeting, accompanied by a wet nurse and a maid!" A big tic-tac-toe appeared on Hosokawa Fujitaka's head.  "Then did you go into Madam Ling's boudoir to talk? Has Madam Ling grown taller? Isn't she cute? Have you have you? You know!" Kira Yoshi's voice suddenly became erratic, and his eyes also became unstable.  It suddenly became sharper.  "Hmmcough! Hmm!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki made a fist with one hand and coughed hard into his mouth. Kira Yoshitoki immediately sat upright, then stood up, bowed and said, "I still have important matters to attend to.So I resigned first.  " "Thank you for your hard work, master craftsman, please take a lot of rest!  Kira Yoshishi watched Kansuke Yamamoto go away with a warm smile, and then grabbed Hosokawa Fujitaka before he stood up to say goodbye and asked him quietly: "Are you there?"  "    "＃＃No!  Really not!  "Hosokawa Fujitaka quickly took off his sleeves and ran away. Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, Kira Yoshiki had a smile on his face, "It seems that this dead lolicon is not invulnerable!  " While Kira Yoshi continued to strengthen himself, Togoku was not idle either. Hojo Ujiyasu was busy extinguishing Musashi's confrontational mood. Imagawa Yoshimoto was satisfied with Mikawa Mamoru and went back to continue his unification. Only Takeda Harunobu remained.  During the offensive, he relied on Sanada Yukitaka's strategy to continuously mobilize several wealthy families in Northern Shinano, and then led an army of 5,000 to invade Kozumi County again. After fighting with the local wealthy families who surrendered, he not only defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo but also defeated him.  At the end of February, the Takeda family's army raided Kuzuo Castle, the home of the Murakami family. Murakami Yoshikiyo, who was busy farming, was caught off guard. In the end, he could only burn down the castle tower and take two men with him.  More than a hundred of the accompanying samurai escaped from Kuzuo Castle and went to Yantian City to continue the fight against the trapped beasts. Unfortunately, the samurai of the Murakami family were scattered in the territory for spring farming and could not form a joint force for a while. They were swept away by Takeda Harunobu and fell into the water.  The city did not last long before it fell again. Murakami Yoshikiyo had to flee to Zenkoji in the Kawanakajima area to wait. He summoned the fleeing tribe of Northern Shinano and fled to Echigo to seek help from Nagao Kagetora.  At the beginning of the month, Miyoshi Yoshihide killed his father-in-law Kume Yoshihiro in a gun battle. The Awa civil war known as the Kume Rebellion ended. After the execution of the rebel father-in-law Kume Yoshihiro and other rebels, Miyoshi Yoshihide and his wife Kume  He broke away from the relationship, and then married Hosokawa Motaka's widow, Major General Okamoto, as his stepmother. In this way, he became the adoptive father of Hosokawa Motaka's son, Hosokawa Shinyuki, and then he became the veritable head of the Awa Kingdom.  It took a month to reorganize the base of the four countries, and then led the army of the four countries to land in Kinki. However, this time the target became Tanba, with Miyoshi Yoshihide as the general and Matsunaga Nagayori as the vanguard, commanding 15,000 troops.  The Tanba Kingdom launched an attack. Hatano Haremichi, Naito Kunisada, Konishi Motonari, and Miyoshi Masakatsu gathered the people of the Tanba Kingdom to resist. The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and blood flowed. In the end, the Naito family's Yagi Castle was captured by the Miyoshi army, and the Tanba Guardian Representative  Naito Kunisada was killed, K身nishi Motonari and Miyoshi Masakatsu surrendered, and the Tanba Kingdom was initially pacified. Then Miyoshi Nagayori ordered Matsunaga Nagayori to marry Naito Kunisada's daughter and change his name to Naito Munekatsu, who was in charge of Kyoto.  Ashikaga Yoshito immediately felt tremendous pressure. He wanted to support Tanba's war, but he didn't have much power. When Kiragi was used, Miyoshi Nagakei, who had an army of 20,000, had not yet moved. So Ashikaga Yoshito would dare?  Thinking of his crooked tactics, he continued to carry out assassinations, but this time the Miyoshi family learned a lesson and had tight defenses. Several failed assassinations not only failed to hurt Miyoshi Changqing, but instead angered him. He was really tired of this disobedient general.  Determined to launch a new attack on Yamashiro Country, Kiragi felt little pressure. Omi had not used weapons for more than a year, and the impact of the war had weakened a lot. The rise of Sakamoto Castle had also affected Shiga and Takashima counties.  After absorbing many immigrants from surrounding places, Sakamoto's new town construction has entered a new bottleneck. The total population of town residents has been increasing slightly, but the construction speed of the castle town far exceeds the increase rate of town residents.  With the smooth implementation of the city ordinance, the explosive growth trend that was originally there has slowed down. The increase in the number of townspeople has dropped to a stable range. Some new craftsmen will join every month, but it is not enough to bring the city to a new level.  Sakamoto Castle is connected to the newly built Kenda Castle.  As Sakamoto's development entered a bottleneck period, Kira Yoshitoki found that his own development had also entered a bottleneck period. He controlled the water transportation power of the Yodogawa Basin and Lake Biwa, and also controlled the territories of Shiga and Takashima counties. His power was greater than that of Mikawa Kingdom.  It has increased more than ten times, and he is not happy even if he is given the leader of a country in exchange for it, but he has reached the point of expansion.  "How should we expand our family?" Just as my uncle Nakain Michio said, the leader of the Asai family in Kitaomi cannot be touched. Asai Hisamasa is in alliance with the Asakura family, and he married his sister to the eldest son of Saito Michizan.  Saito Yoshiryu is the main wife, and he himself has joined the Rokkaku family. He is a character who looks inconspicuous but is actually very powerful.  Despite Kira Yoshitomo's current arrogance, the Rokkaku family has actually been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Shiga and Takashima prefectures are originally the territory of the Rokkaku family. The Shiga prefecture is Yamaoka Kageyuki, and the Takashima prefecture is Sasaki.  The branch of the Rokkaku family was originally lent to the general for refuge, so why was it suddenly thrown away by the general to the Kira family as if it was a favor?  Everyone in the Rokkaku family expressed dissatisfaction, especially when Sakamoto Castle suddenly became popular.?Even more dissatisfied.  It's hard to say whether the Rokkaku family acquiesced in what Yamaoka Keiyuki did, and Hisamasa Asai had just had some unpleasantness with him and now hated him. If there was some border conflict, the Rokkaku family would definitely be happy to see the Kira family suffer misfortune.  The Asai family's ally, the Asakura family, has nothing to do with the Kira family, which means that if Kira Yoshitoki touches Asai Hisamasa, Asakura Soutei will send troops to defeat Kira Yoshitoki without hesitation.  Asakura Sotechi, that is the ancestor of the Asakura family, the military god of Hokuriku. His status is the same as that of the military god of Echigo in the future. Moreover, this ancestor is also the Tsuruga County Secretary, and he has money and wealth.  There are also eight thousand wolves and tigers, all veterans who have been baptized. In addition, the Asakura family also controls the seven thousand troops of Ono County, which makes a total of fifteen thousand troops.  These were the elite Asakura family who defeated 300,000 Kaga in the Kuzuryu River. They either recruited peasant soldiers hastily and fought them or sought death. It was really not worth offending a group of enemies for that small amount of territory, especially Echizen.  The Asakura family is very difficult to deal with, and the Asakura family is twice as difficult to deal with when Sotechi Asakura is still alive. He is not the Great Demon King Oda, how dare he play tricks?  So it＊s a loss no matter how you calculate it.  Minami Omi Rokkaku's family was automatically ignored, and the troubles of a lot of royal materials in Yamashiro Province were also ignored. Wakasa Province was the Asakura family's favorite, and the abacus there was no different from directly going to war with the Asakura family, and then looked around  Yiwan found that he really had no place to develop, could he just be a small lord?  Kira Yoshi felt that he had to make a choice. He would never go back after reaching this point. Only by continuing to move forward could he live well in the Warring States Period. The Miyoshi family had historically dominated Kinki, but was hindered by his appearance, but things were not that different.  Simple, for the Sanhao family, the death of only Shihe and Yicun can only mean that the upward trend has stopped, not even the damage to the muscles and bones. Sanhao Changqing also threatened to retaliate against him, but he didn't say this, that's all.  If you say it, you will definitely not be able to run away.  As the war in Tamba ended, the Kira family seemed to feel that the war was coming. Kira Yoshitsune issued an order to summon a new army. Currently, the Kira Army has a total of 7,000 people. Its combat strength has more than doubled compared to a year and a half ago, but the number of people is disadvantageous.  It was still impossible to make up for it, so Kira Yoshihito transferred 1,000 people with good quality from the ronin, thus gathering an army of 8,000 to start intensive training in preparation for the upcoming war.  In early March, Kira Yoshitoshi went to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshit身. The two discussed and decided to invite Hosokawa Harumoto back to continue to be in charge of Kyoto. Since he left Kyoto to stay with the Rokkaku family, the Rokkaku family has become somewhat alienated from the shogunate. This is not a  A good sign, and his conspiracy with Ashikaga Yoshito also needs to be activated.  So Odate Harumi went to Kannonji Castle in person to ask Hosokawa Harumoto to return to Kyoto. Hosokawa Harumoto held on for a long time before agreeing to return to Kyoto. In fact, he had wanted to go back for a long time, but he just couldn't.  To save face, and Ashikaga Yoshito disrespected him so much that his self-esteem was hurt, and this time Ashikaga Yoshito came to invite him, he regarded it as a great victory in the war between the general and the commander, so he brought his entourage with great fanfare  Return to Kyoto.  At this time, Kyoto's defense force had changed from 2,000 to 5,000. The difference in military strength between Ashikaga Yoshit身 and Hosokawa Haru was 1,000. However, all the elites in Ashikaga Yoshit身's hands were equipped with the armor of the Kira family, and some of the shogunate's public servants  Training with all their strength, overall the strength of the shogunate and the leader are equally matched.  Of course, now that Ashikaga Yoshit身 is asking for help, he leaves Hosokawa Harumoto in charge of Kyoto's defense forces. Hosokawa Harumoto is back on the left hand of the general, which makes him very happy, and that annoying Kira Yoshitoki is also very obedient.  He took back his Sakamoto Castle and became a farmer. It seemed that everything was developing in the beautiful direction that Hosokawa Harumoto longed for.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
