Two days later, on a quiet morning, a uniform team of warriors greeted the Hachimangahara. The influence of the Drought Demon made the originally abundant river become particularly shallow. Several large flags were erected across the river, among which the most conspicuous one It belongs to Ashikaga Niyin Liangqi. Under the guidance of two thousand Shinano natives, this army of tens of thousands crossed the Sai River, which had been dry for days. They appeared on Hachimangahara through the light mist in the early morning. The cool mountain breeze blew away the dense fog on Kawanaka Island, making no sound. In the meantime, Kira's army has arrived at Shinoi, where the first Battle of Kawanakajima took place. The sudden landing operation that breaks the rules is intended to force the Takeda Army to engage in a full-scale decisive battle and crush the main force of the Takeda Army with its strong military advantage. It would be great if Takeda Harunobu can be killed and all the samurai of the Takeda Army can be annihilated. Even if you are unlucky, It can expel the Takeda Army and retreat to Central Shinano, thereby achieving the original strategic goal of seizing the stable front of Northern Shinano. He knew very well that such cunning daimyo would usually avoid a decisive battle with the main force to determine the winner of the war. This was Kawanaka Island, not Kyoto. There was no reason to go to Luo. When faced with danger, daimyo would usually turn around and run away. This greatly reduces the possibility of launching a war of annihilation. The seemingly reckless landing battle was just beyond the expectations of Takeda Harunobu and his retainers. Sanada Yukitaka's disastrous defeat and the subsequent bad news caused extreme uneasiness among the Takeda army. Even though they had never cared about strategy and political affairs, they only focused on Ashigaru generals such as Hara Huin and Mitsuru Tada who fought in the joint battle also noticed that something was not right about the atmosphere. Especially at the second watch of the night before, we received news from the rear that Kakizaki Keie and Murakami Yoshikiyo had joined forces to attack Shiozaki Castle. Shiozaki Castle defender Kurihara Morutong led an army of 300 to suddenly face a siege of 2,000 troops, and the situation was very critical. The nearby Yashiro Castle attempted to reinforce but was defeated by Kakizaki Kei's cavalry. Once the two fortified cities in the southern part of Kawanaka Island are captured. The retreat route of the Takeda Army was completely cut off. This situation also forced Takeda Harunobu to go into battle in order to defeat the Kira Army head-on. This news was obviously delayed deliberately. When the news was received, the Takeda Army had lost the possibility of sending reinforcements immediately. After spending a jealous and restless night, the Takeda family samurai woke up again and found that they had lost their last chance to retreat. The huge Kira Army had appeared on Hachimangahara, and the black lines on the white flag were so blinking, They always subconsciously think of the enemy as the shogunate army. The rumble of war drums was beating in the western part of Hachimangahara. The Ashikaga Futikiryo and Long-tailed Nine-Yobaba are all over the mountains and rivers fluttering in the wind. The various variegated flags on the wings come from the people of Shinon Province. Among them, the red and black troops stationed in the main formation are the most eye-catching. The most eye-catching one is the Senka. Prepare cavalry. A few days ago, the Sanada Army was defeated with almost no injuries, which left a deep impression on the Takeda family. Faced with the blocking Kira Army, the Takeda Army reacted very calmly. Rows of reserve troops were already in position, and they were not blocked at all in terms of momentum. awareness. "The four-cut gold rhombus with a red background, the Suwa Hosei flag, and the blue Furin Volcano flag. The only thing I don't have is the family crest flag with the Genji white flag as the base. Your Takeda family is indeed the most special branch of my Genji family! "Ji Liangyi sneered. He was quite indifferent to the Warring States general who always wore a large red armor and wore a Suwa Hosho Kabuto on his head. Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn't understand the meaning of his words, and nodded and said: "Yes! Dr. Takeda Daizen is a maverick martial artist. The Takeda family's progress step by step is inseparable from the hard work of the two generations of Takeda. It's just that the Takeda family has encountered difficulties." It can only be said that it is unfortunate to come to my Kira family!" Seeing a large group of red-armored warriors gathered in the Takeda family's camp, Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile: "The Takeda family also has red cavalry, right? They should be called red? Prepare your warriors! Mount your horse and dismount your horse to fight! Keijiro, follow me to the front to answer the question! " "Why don't you, master? Do you believe that my skills are only slightly better than those of Keiji and Sakon? Self-defense is absolutely no problem!" Kira Yoshi was fourteen years old at the time and was 1.6 meters tall. In terms of spear skills, he was better than most of them. Even samurai with spears are powerful, and he is very confident in his own skills. Without waiting for rejection, he rushed out of the formation, came to the front of the formation and shouted: "Takeda Harunobu, come out and answer!" "Who is that?" There was a commotion in the Takeda army, and soon they saw the four flags moving, and hundreds of riders The red-armored knight then moved to the front of the formation. Under the banner of Ashikaga Uisesaburo Yoshitoki with black characters on a white background, a samurai wearing a Kamakura-style purple tamaru stood in front of the formation. "Answer before the formation? What on earth is he going to do?" Takeda Harunobu squinted at the flag, slowly stood up and straddled the horse. Several ashigaru generals hurriedly got on their horses and caught up to persuade them: "Master, don't go there, be careful. "That man is cheating!"?Afraid of a half-year-old child? "Faced with Takeda Harunobu's question, Takeda's retainers did not dare to answer. It was worth following Takeda Harunobu closely. "I saw a general wearing red armor slowly walking down the slope, but after a moment, the array in front separated and reached a gap. Hundreds of warriors surrounded him and stopped in front of the formation. The distance between the two sides was more than a hundred meters, making it very inconvenient to answer, but no one dared to take a step forward. Kira Yoshichi looked around and asked: "Who has the loudest voice? " "Of course it is me! "Nagasaka Nobumasa held his chest up and raised his head very proudly. Several companions around him laughed in a low voice: "Apart from fighting and having a loud voice, he has no other advantages! " "It turns out to be Blood Gun Jiulang! Take the message written by me and read it loudly to him! You can go to the front! " Nagasaka Nobumasa took over Xie Wen and assured him with full confidence: "Please rest assured, Master! I, Kuro, will definitely do a good job! " Iito Homasa asked doubtfully: "Then what the hell is the Kira family doing? Asking the lord to come to the front of the battle to talk nonsense, but not coming himself, what are you doing with your procrastination? " "Maybe it's a delaying strategy, right? Wasn't Kuriharazaemon under siege? Eighty percent of the time it must be like this. "Murozumi Huden snorted. "It's so cunning Hey, someone is coming from the other side! It seems that he is not the general on the opposite side! "As soon as the former Hayabusa leader Zuo Changyin reminded them, everyone focused their attention on the red-armored warrior opposite. They saw that he did not carry a lance with a sword on his waist. He only advanced twenty steps and then stopped. He waved and took out a piece of paper and coughed lightly. The voice said: "Today's world is in decline and the laws have collapsed. Monsters appeared and caused trouble in the Warring States Period. There are many people who do not respect the shogunate and take pride in subjugating their superiors and betraying them. They do not know their dignity and do not listen to orders. This is the rebellion of the Wu family! Today, there is Takeda Harunobu, a descendant of Kawachi Genji. His family ancestor, Kawachi Genji Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, did not know his loyalty and killed the mainstay of the Minamoto family, trapped his brother, and brought trouble to the Minamoto clan. This was the rebellion of the Minamoto clan, which caused the Kawachi Genji family to almost collapse, and was conquered by the Taira Kiyomori clan. Take advantage of the opportunity to make the pillars of the Ping family stand on both feet. The rebellion of Fang Yuan and Heiji brought our Minamoto clan to near danger, and the great revolt of the Hei clan wiped out many descendants of our Minamoto clan. This is a serious crime" The warriors of the Takeda family all trembled when they heard this. Takeda Harunobu took advantage of his beloved The chattering and laughing expression of the mount Heiyun suddenly collapsed, and then his face became more and more ugly as he listened. His body suddenly swayed and almost fell from the mount. "Minamoto Yoshimitsu has four major sins. One of them is Minamoto Yoshimitsu and his nephew. It is unjust for Minamoto no Yoshikuni to seize the throne of Hitachi and accuse Minamoto no Yoshikuni of ignorance of loyalty and filial piety, causing it to lose its position as the pillar of the Minamoto clan! Second. Assassinating the fourth generation pillar, Yoshitada Minamoto, is disloyal! Third. Framing his brother Minamoto Yoshitsuna and causing his family to perish is unkind and unfilial! Fourth, Minamoto Yoshitsuna, his plan to escape from Kai was exposed, but he still refused to repent, and often thought of seizing the pillars of the Minamoto family. This is shameless! Disloyalty, disloyalty, kindness and unrighteousness. Yoshimitsu alone accounted for three of the four evil sources in ancient times, which almost led to the destruction of our Minamoto clan" "Now he has repeatedly committed Shinano's crimes against the people of the country, and he has not respected the orders of the shogunate and massacred wantonly. It is really a heinous crime to fabricate the illusion that Shinano is prosperous with singing and dancing! What¡¯s more, your ancestor, Takeda Nobuyoshi, dared to compete with Minamoto Yoshio for the pillars of the samurai family. You, the Kai Minamoto clan, have always been rebellious, and today you are competing with me, the Ashikaga clan, for Shinano. Are you trying to challenge the authority of my shogunate? " Kira Yoshitoshi sneered: "Why should the direct descendant of Kawachi Genji be the Ashikaga clan? Why didn't I choose you Takeda? Are the heroes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties blind? Because only the Ashikaga clan is qualified to inherit the direct line of the Kawachi Genji family, and only the Ashikaga clan can become the pillar of the Kawachi Genji family! ¡± The origin of the Kiyokawa Genji family comes from Prince Sadazumi, the sixth son of Emperor Kiyokawa, and then passed down to Minamoto no Sui Kei, who is known as the sixth grandson, also known as King Sui Ke. Then Minamoto Manchu split into two branches, the Settsu Genji and the Kawachi Genji. Not to mention the first generation leader of the Kawachi Genji family, Minamoto Yorinobu, the second generation leader Minamoto Yoriyi, the third generation Minamoto Yoshie, the fourth generation Minamoto Yoshitaka, the fifth generation Minamoto Weiyi, the sixth generation Minamoto Yoshitomo, and the seventh generation Minamoto Yoritomo are Kawachi. It can be seen from the word "tong" that the inheritance of the Minamoto clan's pillar family is not between the fourth and fifth generations, but between the sixth and seventh generations. Cut off has become the main cause of disputes. As for why the heir was cut off, it has a deep relationship with the ancestor of the Takeda family, Minamoto Yoshimitsu. This involves a public case involving Kawachi Genji. In the early Southern and Northern Dynasties era more than two hundred years ago, When the imperial family joined forces to overthrow the Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikaga clan and the Nitta clan competed for the Minamoto clan. At first, only two families could compete for the Minamoto clan. It was because the Ashikaga family had the chance to become the Minamoto clan. It was just because Minamoto Yoshimitsu was himself. His selfish ambitions gave way to the most likely pillar of the Genji family, so the Ashikaga family has always hated the Takeda family for causing trouble. From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Muromachi shogunate, the Takeda family has been locked up in Kai without giving any chance. Although the Kawachi Genji family originated in the Heian period, But the real rise is due to the three generations of pillars of Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshie. The first nineThe battle of the last three years established the foundation of the Kawachi Genji samurai family in Kanto. It was passed down to Genji Yorishio, the seventh generation leader of the Kawachi Genji family, and established the Kamakura shogunate, which was powerful throughout the world. However, the Hojo family, a relative of the Kawachi Genji family, took power, and the three direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji family died. As a result, the direct lineage of the Genji family in Hanoi was cut off. With the extinction of the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi, new problems arose. Yoritomo Minamoto killed all the relatives of the family. Those who were not killed were taken over by Masako Hojo and continued to be killed. The family that was qualified to inherit the pillars of the Minamoto family All the clans were wiped out. Since the Jokyu Rebellion, the Kawachi Genji clan's powerful clan has been fiercely competing for this vacant position. Since it is a competition, there must be a result. Going back to the seventh generation, several brothers of Minamoto Yoshio, the leader of the seventh generation, died in the Heiji Rebellion and the subsequent pursuit of the Taira family. For example, the legitimate son of Minamoto Yoshitomo, the leader of the sixth generation, was known as Akogenta. Minamoto no Yoshitsune and others were beheaded on the order of Taira Kiyomori. Only a few young ones such as Minamoto Norai and Minamoto Yoshitsune were alive. They were all killed by Minamoto Yoshio when the Kamakura shogunate was established. The big cats left behind Kittens are not famous either. Going further back, the sixth-generation leader Yuan Yoshitomo killed his father and his younger brother during the Baoyuan Rebellion, wiping out his entire family. The sixth generation branch of the first line was either cut off or almost extinct after being killed by Minamoto Yoshio. There is no ability to compete for the pillars of Genji. Those who were alive did not survive the Heiji Rebellion, and were either exterminated or fell into decline. Gen Weiyoshi, the pillar of the fifth generation, was not inherited by his legitimate son, but his brothers had conflicts because of inheriting the pillar of the Minamoto clan in their early years. Their relationship was very different and they were suppressed one after another. They were all unknown people. Later, he was succeeded by his legitimate son Minamoto Yoshitomo in Baoyuan. He was killed in the chaos and had no relatives to inherit. The fourth generation pillar, Gen Yoshitada, is Minamoto no Yoshimitsu's uncle. The position of the fourth generation pillar has caused a great disturbance, which will involve the famous Takeda family patriarch Shinra Saburo Gen Yoshimitsu. In other words, he was the reason for the Genji's rebellion. The third generation of the Kawachi Genji family was the world-famous Hachiman Taro Minamoto no Yoshi family. He was also the origin of the Kawachi Genji lineage and became the direct descendant of the Wu family. The eldest son of the Minamoto Yoshi family, Minamoto Yoshimune, died at an early age, leaving his position as the pillar of the family vacant. The original plan was to hand it over to the second son, Mamori Minamoto Yoshichichi, who was an evil enemy. As a result, Minamoto Yoshichichi killed innocent people in Kyushu, and the Ise Taira clan asked for his head. The imperial court became the villain, and his surviving son became Yuan Weiyi. The eldest son and the second son died one after another, which devastated the Minamoto no Yoshikuni family, so they decided to make the third son Minamoto Yoshikuni the pillar of the Minamoto family. But at this time, bad news came from the Kingdom of Tsunayoshi, and Minamoto Yoshimitsu filed a lawsuit against his nephew. . The reason is that Minamoto Yoshikuni competed with his uncle Minamoto Yoshimitsu for territory in Hitachi Province, and was attacked by his uncle and cousin. In the end, his uncle Minamoto Yoshimitsu reported him to the Minamoto family. Naturally, the Minamoto no Yoshiki knew that Minamoto Yoshimitsu was innocent. Hitachi Country was originally the territory assigned to his son by the Minamoto Yoshiki. However, this infringed on Minamoto Yoshimitsu's rights because Minamoto Yoshimitsu had already been established here for twenty years. He got up, but Minamoto Yoshimitsu had already filed a complaint. As an elder brother, he could not favor his son, so he could only reluctantly annul Minamoto Yoshikuni's inheritance rights. The fourth son, Minamoto Yoshitada, finally inherited the Minamoto family. At this time, Minamoto Yoshitada's family had died of illness. Minamoto Yoshitada was not happy for a few days when he was assassinated by his uncle Minamoto Yoshimitsu. Not only was the assassination as simple as that, but he also The blame for the assassination was placed on his elder brother, Minamoto Yoshizuna, the second younger brother of the Minamoto Yoshi family. Because this Minamoto Yoshitsuna is the second younger brother of the Minamoto Yoshi family, he is called Kamojiro, and Minamoto Yoshimitsu is only the third oldest brother and is called Shinra Saburo. Minamoto Yoshimitsu feels that the older ones among his nephews have either died or been abolished, and he is the only one with this His elder brother Kamojiro Minamoto Yoshitsuna was a scourge, so he had evil intentions to frame him. Minamoto Yoshitada was only twenty-seven years old when he died. The sudden assassination of the leader of the Minamoto clan immediately caused a riot. Minamoto Yoshimitsu originally thought that I should be the leader of the Minamoto clan. However, after discussion with the Minamoto clan, they decided to let the evil leader be the leader. The son, Minamoto Yoshimitsu, inherited because Minamoto's sworn relatives originally had the right to inherit, which made Minamoto Yoshimitsu very disappointed. Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who inherited the pillars of the fifth generation, actually became the adopted son of the assassinated Minamoto Yoshitada. The first thing he did when he came to power was to hunt down the clan of his uncle Minamoto Yoshizuna. Minamoto Yoshitada was assassinated and framed in 1109. Tsuna was immediately exiled to Sado Island. His eldest son Yoshihiro and second son Yoshitoshi could not understand why they were innocently subjected to such harsh punishment, so they immediately committed suicide by jumping off a cliff hand in hand. The third son, Yoshiaki, was hunted for death because he was implicated in the assassination. The fourth son, Yoshinaka, threw himself into the fire cave and burned himself. The fifth son, Yoshinori, and the sixth son, Yoshitaka, committed seppuku. Only the youngest son, Yoshinao, who had just turned one year old, was spared. That's it. The innocent Minamoto no Yoshitsuna family was killed and almost exterminated. Minamoto no Yoshitsuna didn't fare well. In the past 1132, Minamoto no Yoshizuna came to settle the accounts again. At that time, Minamoto Yoshizuna, who was already over eighty years old, had to commit suicide by caesarean section. This is the famous Minamoto Yoshizuna unjust crime incident, and the culprit was Minamoto Yoshimitsu. But he was able to end his life and die in Mitsui Temple in his Yuanfu. However, the benefit of his descendants is that Minamoto Yoshimitsu's crime of assassinating Minamoto Yoshitada was eventually discovered. Minamoto Yoshimitsu's surviving son Kawauchi Sukuni and other brothers went to heaven and earth to hunt down Minamoto Yoshimitsu's descendants. Minamoto Yoshimitsu had ?Two sons had their heads cut off. Some of them hid in mountain dens in Hitachi and Kai and did not dare to venture out to escape the disaster. Another one was chased to North Korea for refuge. Later, he moved to the Central Plains with the chaos and changed his surname to Zhang. , has been passed down to modern times. Later, the pillar family of the Kawachi Genji family was transferred to the Minamoto no Yoshi clan. Until the Kamakura shogunate was exterminated in three generations, many Kawachi Genji clans competed for the Minamoto clan. The fifth generation pillar, no one below Minamoto no Yoshi could inherit it, so only starting from the fourth generation Looking back, there are only a few people who are qualified to inherit the pillars of the Gen clan, regardless of their family status or martial arts. Let¡¯s start with the four sons of the third-generation Minamoto Yoshi family: the eldest son, Minamoto Yoshimune, died young. The second son, Minamoto Yoshiuchi, had his head cut off, and his youngest son, Minamoto Noyoshi, inherited the pillars of the fifth generation. His lineage was the direct line of Kawachi Genji, and it was passed down to the generation of Minamoto Yoshio's grandson. Who is Yoshikuni Sanko? right! He was the founder of the Ashikaga and Nitta clans, and he was the one who strongly supported Minamoto no Yoshi to be the pillar of the Five Generations. However, as soon as Minamoto no Yoshi came to power, he and his third uncle got into a quarrel. In the end, Minamoto no Yoshikuni returned to Shimono in anger. He raised his precious son behind closed doors in the countryside of Ashikaga-so, and gave his son the name Ashikaga clan, thus giving birth to the Ashikaga clan. The fourth son, Minamoto Yoshitada, was the unlucky fourth-generation pillar who was killed. He died too early. The eldest son, Kawauchi Suikuni, was only a few years old. Even though the Minamoto clan thought he should be a pillar, no one dared to bet his fortune and destiny on a small child. Later, Kawachi Tsuiguo started to pursue and kill the little boy, and he never thought about competing for the pillar of the Genji family. When the Minamoto Yoshio lineage is extinct, we will see who can be the pillar of the Minamoto clan. It will only be Minamoto Yoshikuni's lineage, because Minamoto Yoshikuni is the third son of the Minamoto Yoshio family, and he previously competed with Minamoto Yoshimitsu for the throne of Hitachi Kingdom. The ownership rights were sued by Minamoto Yoshikoichi to his father Minamoto Yoshi's family, thus losing the right to inherit the pillar. Minamoto Yoshimitsu ordered a samurai to assassinate his nephew Minamoto Yoshitada with Minamoto Yoshitsuna's son's sword, and framed his innocent second brother Minamoto Yoshizuna, causing the famous Minamoto Yoshizuna unjust crime incident. This heinous scum of the Minamoto family has done everything before. Everything was unreasonable. Minamoto Yoshimitsu's reputation was like that of a rat crossing the street. Everyone yelled at him to beat him up. Therefore, Minamoto Yoshimitsu, who had previously competed with Minamoto Yoshimitsu for the control of Hitachi Kingdom, was rehabilitated. The Ashikaga family legally inherited the foundation of the Minamoto clan. That¡¯s it. As for military achievements, Ashikaga Yoshikane, the grandson of Minamoto no Yoshio, immediately stood up to support Minamoto Yoshio in revolting against the Taira hegemony. After the Genpei War, the Ashikaga clan was also designated as the royal family by Minamoto Yoshio and became the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi. He is a powerful sect, and in the context of Minamoto Yoritomo's wanton slaughter of his own clan, he has also become the person with the highest family status in the royal family. With this endorsement, his legitimacy can be guaranteed. "In the last years of Kamakura, only Ashikaga and Nitta were competing for the throne of the Genji clan in Kawachi. The reason was that the Minamoto clan had the right to inherit the pillars. From the beginning to the end, the pillars of the Genji clan had nothing to do with your lineage, Saburo Silla! The evil history of the murder of my family, the pillars of the Genji clan, is even more It is unreasonable. It is even more unreasonable for Takeda Nobuyoshi and Noritomogong to compete for the pillars of the Genji family, and now it is even more unreasonable for you to fight against our shogunate!" Kira Yoshitoshi smiled contemptuously, full of ruthless ridicule for the Takeda family. He was familiar with family history and naturally knew the lineage of Silla Saburo. What is the status of Genji in Kawachi? (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
