    With the arrival of severe winter, a cold wave swept through the sixty-six countries, mixed with a large amount of rain and snow. The willows on both sides of the Shonai River were covered with a thick layer of silver, and long ice streams hung from the eaves.  The northern scenery outside the house attracted curious townspeople to look at it. The smoke was so beautiful that it seemed like mist but not fog. It was so beautiful that even after watching it for a long time, it didn't get boring.  This year's winter is extremely cold. Owari Province is experiencing a rare snowstorm. It has been falling intermittently for more than a month since early November. This season is also the traditional snowfall season in Owari Province. In previous years, sporadic light snow fell.  Or the most annoying freezing rain, which is wet and cold. Occasionally, there are larger-scale snows that are rare in several years. In the memories of the elderly, such rare and heavy snowstorms seem to have not been heard of for hundreds of years.  Pass.  In the castle town of Cheongju City, the elderly are busy clearing the snow, and the children are making snowmen, having snowball fights, and wrestling and rolling in the snow. The white snow provides the children with countless laughter and laughter. The merchants on the street rub their hands red and loudly sell their accumulated savings.  goods, seeing customers carrying baskets into their shops with bright smiles, the definition of happiness is so similar in every era.  In the large room of Qingzhou City, two sets of thick paper doors were urgently installed. A group of warriors sat around the fire in twos and threes. Fresh fish caught from the river were roasted on the fire pit that was emitting heat waves, as well as golden potatoes and  After a while, the strong fragrance of corn hit the face. The warriors held the wine jar and drank happily. They felt so comfortable.  After the wine was half drunk, the warriors began to feast. Ikeda Hengxing drank a little too much. He was so drunk that he began to speak incoherently: "The corn and potatoes sent by the Zhenfu Palace are really good! Put them in a pot and cook them on the rack.  It can be roasted over a fire or even baked under a fire. I heard that it can be eaten as a dish. " After several years of being indifferent, Shibata Katsuie has become more reserved in nature.  The minister's posture was still very good. When he saw that he made a mistake while drunk, he stabbed him lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Katsuzaburo? Even I, the Katsu family, know that potatoes and corn are good foods that can fill the stomachs of farmers."  , but you only remember to eat, you are too unambitious!" The samurai in the room laughed loudly. Ikeda Hengxing seemed not to be aware of Niwa Nagahide's eyes, and said with a smile: "The people depend on food.  God. What can I say if you don¡¯t talk about the food? I only know that this food is delicious. Not only do I like it but my relatives and friends also like it, not to mention the townspeople and farmers." Oda Nobunaga hugged Saito Guiche.  Smiling without saying a word, he is no longer the stupid young man who stopped Kira Manshomaru many years ago. He has developed a deep temperament and excellent skills in the past few years as the family governor. He is naturally aware of some conflicts in the family.  On the premise of destroying the unity of the retainer group, some small conflicts between each other can help the retainer control the overall situation.  In the past few years, Oda Nobunaga's development has been smooth. He successfully repelled the Imagawa Army's trial with a small victory in the Battle of Muramuzhai, and defeated Oda Nobuyuki's plot to seize the governor of the family in the Battle of Inai.  When summer and autumn came together this year, Oda Nobunaga led more than half of Owari's army to fight in the Ukino Battle.  The significance of this war is very important.  This is the first time he has launched a war to unify the Owari Kingdom. The enemy in this war is the clan leader of the Iwakura Oda family, Oda Nobuken, who is also the guardian of the four upper Owari counties. In order to completely complete the unification of the Owari Kingdom,  Zhang's great goal, he chose to recruit his brother-in-law and brother-in-law Oda Nobukiyo to deal with the Iwakura Oda family.  This war was very successful. With Oda Nobunaga's well-trained elite soldiers and the iron artillery team built at no expense, he easily defeated the stubborn and conservative Oda Nobuxian and defeated his army. Then he was stuck at the critical moment before the autumn harvest.  Oda Nobuxian's Moto Iwakura Castle was surrounded. The food in the city could not be sustained for a month. Oda Nobuxian was forced to surrender the city.  Since then, Oda Nobunaga has successfully achieved the great goal of unifying Owari. This is something his father failed to achieve after more than ten years of hard work. Now he can easily achieve it after just a few years in the Owari family, whether in the Oda family or in Owari Junior High School.  Who else talks about Owari's idiot? He can openly tell everyone that Oda Nobunaga has become a qualified family governor, and his achievements are on par with Owari's Tiger.  Ikeda Hengxing held the wine jar and drank happily. Anyway, a bachelor does not have to worry about family matters. While drinking, he talked drunkenly: "Speaking of which, it is a pity that the Guardian Alliance plan failed. The Kira family unexpectedly agreed to negotiate peace with us.  , If it weren¡¯t for the Shiba family¡¯s inability to interfere with the peace talks, maybe our Oda family would be able to get rid of the pressure from Mikawa¡¯s direction!¡± Ikeda Hengxing said vaguely, but the samurai here are not stupid.  The atmosphere suddenly cooled down. The samurai put down their wine glasses and turned their attention to the superior Oda Nobunaga. He closed his folding fan and glared at Ikeda Hengxing: "Katsusaburo, drink less. Be careful not to find him if you are drunk."  When you get home, patrol a few more times when you go back and remind the town residents.?Sweep the snow off the house and let it go!  "    "yes!  "The warriors hurriedly leaned over to accept the promise, pulled up their drunken companions and filed out. "Gui Die was very worried when she saw her husband's unhappy expression. Feeling the small movements of the woman in his arms, Oda Nobunaga shook his head with a smile and took Gui Die's hand.  He smiled and said, "Don't you have this kind of tolerance when you come to my house?  I'm just tired of listening to their drunken nonsense, so I send them home to sleep. Speaking of which, let's get some rest early as it's freezing cold!  " Realizing that the belt was untied by Oda Nobunaga's big hands, Gui Die whispered with charming eyes: "But Your Highness, it's just after noon!  "Oda Nobunaga picked up the disheveled Guidi and laughed and said: "Dun Lun is more interesting during the day.  ¡± The incident mentioned by Ikeda Tsuneaki was a strange thing that happened in the late period of the Ukino War. At that time, Oda Nobunaga led an army of four thousand to besiege Iwakura Castle for more than half a month. He felt that the unification of Owari was almost certain, so he started to work on it.  Planning the next strategic goal of "avenging his father-in-law", but before that, he has to do one more thing, which is to stabilize the first bow of the East China Sea, Imagawa Yoshimoto. He doesn't have many cards in his hand, but he still has a treasure.  The card can be used, that is, the former samurai Lord Shiba Yoshigan, who is a direct descendant of the Owari Shiba family. One of the dignified three heads of the family has become the canary of the Oda family, except for the one guarded by the Owari of the Ichimuromachi shogunate.  The tiger skin is useless except for some uses. This plan is called the "Ashikaga Ichimon Guardian Alliance". Oda Nobunaga worked hard for a long time before coming up with the final plan. The core content of the plan is based on the Owari Shiba clan and Mikawa Kira.  In the name of harmony between the Ashikaga clan and the Suruga Imagawa clan, the Oda family and the Imagawa family finally get along peacefully, and the military attacks of both parties are completely stopped. The Oda family's plan is very good, but the Imagawa family doesn't know.  Will you take the bait? I just planned to ask for directions, but I didn't expect that although the Imagawa family did not agree, the head of the Kira family, Kira Yoshiyasu, agreed. You must know that this is Kira Yoshitoki's half-brother, Imagawa.  Yoshimoto's son-in-law, who just returned to Tojo Castle this year to preside over government affairs, was given the position of guardian by none other than Ashikaga Yoshiteru at his request at the beginning of the year. It is said that Imagawa Yoshimoto and Kira Yoshian are the guardians of Mikawa.  He has a good relationship with his son-in-law, and he is also very close to the Imagawa family's heir, the Imagawa family. He is good at Waka tea ceremony and Cuju painting. People have the impression that Imagawa Yoshi is an elegant traditional aristocrat who does not engage in political affairs.  Although Yuan didn't agree, he didn't object either. The calculation was not complicated. Let the son-in-law sign the covenant and then the father-in-law break it. No matter how angry you, the Oda family, can only hold it in your heart, the whole world.  Everyone knows that Kira Yoshian is the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and they all know that this noble son has been trained in Sunfu for seven or eight years and has forgotten all about government affairs. His military power is even less, and it does not exist in Mikawa Kingdom.  The so-called prestige, asking him to sign the covenant was a naked trick. Even so, Oda Nobunaga was ecstatic for a long time. How could we all be adults and believe in the constraints of a paper covenant?  Tian Nobunaga did not demand too long. As long as he was given three to five years to implement the strategy plan for Mino, it would not matter if the alliance was torn up. Soon after the Ukino battle, the two sides settled on the border between Owari and Mikawa.  When the peace talks were held at a place called Uenohara, Imagawa Yoshimoto would definitely not come. How could the great master of the Three Kingdoms play such a childish game with him?  The governor of the clan came to lead the talks, and the envoys from both sides shuttled back and forth to basically finalize the basic content of the peace talks. In fact, Yoshihiro Shiba, who was responsible for the conclusion of the Oda family alliance, and Yoshihiro Kira, who represented the conclusion of the Imagawa family alliance, were just going through the motions.  .  On a sunny morning in late autumn, Yoshihiro Shiba was having a meeting with Yoshihiro Kira, but the two literary young men suddenly realized that they had to decide on the priority seats. Just like the Spring and Autumn League, there always has to be a leader, and talking about the alliance is not the same.  There must always be a strong person who takes the lead in making a covenant.  Now the problem arises. The families on both sides are as different as one Owari Ashikaga and the other Mikawa Ashikaga. Everyone regards the status passed down by their ancestors as high as the sky and the earth. Even if they eat bran, they cannot lose their ancestors.  A hard-earned reputation.  So a funny scene happened. The two sides stopped a distance away from each other. The messengers on both sides talked to each other. Shiba Yiyin said that I am the governor of the third house leader. My ancestors are so prominent, so I want to sit in charge.  Bit.  Over there, Kira Yoshihiro was very unhappy. He said to himself that you still come to argue with me about priorities. He immediately said that I belong to the Ashikaga family and the lower horse clan. The Kira family clan represented by my younger brother Kira Yoshihiro was also promoted to the Ashikaga family and became the prefecture.  A true member of the Ashikaga Imperial family, I am the guardian of Mikawa and the son-in-law of the Imagawa family. I am much better than a down-and-out kid like you. I am?Must sit in the main seat.  The eldest young masters on both sides could not convince the other, so the two sides locked up and moved out of the bed table (mazar), took out the lunch boxes prepared in advance, and made psychological preparations for a protracted war. Then the sun rose high and slowed down.  Falling slowly, the two of them didn't move a step.  Although the weather in late autumn is not cold, it is not a good thing to waste a day in vain. The two young masters enjoyed delicious food and sang poems for entertainment, while the warriors and soldiers below had no choice but to fight against each other with hungry stomachs.  In the end, the brothers on both sides couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade their respective family governors. In the end, the two reluctantly agreed to this request.  After some communication between the two parties, Kira Yi'an and Shiba Yiyin took steps reluctantly. No one wanted to suffer more, until they walked ten steps away from each other to meet and talk.  If you are willing to move, you silently indicate that you will wait for the other person to come closer, and regard this as a change of direction to take the initiative.  The two of them neither greeted nor saluted, and stared at each other in a stalemate for half an hour.  In the end, it got dark and still no words were said.  In the end, he turned around and left silently without even saluting.  To satisfy personal vanity.  The two of them just shouldered an important mission and disrupted a planned alliance. Kira Yoshiyasu did this without much problem. Imagawa Yoshimoto did not support this alliance at first. Since the negotiation could not be concluded, they simply stopped talking. They can still be in the future.  As an excuse to intervene in Owari.  The situation at Shiba Yiyin over there was terrible. Oda Nobunaga had great expectations and hoped that the alliance would be reached as soon as possible. He invited people from all walks of life in Owari to come to Qingzhou City a few days in advance. On the same day, a grand ceremony was held in the business house.  The banquet was just to wait for the news.  As a result, after waiting around until noon, there was still no movement. Oda Nobunaga became anxious and quickly sent someone to inquire about the situation.  The envoys sent came one after another, until it was dark and Yoshigami Shiba finally came back. Oda Nobunaga waited all day without eating, and the samurai in the room also went hungry all day.  As soon as Yoshiyin came back, he proudly announced that he had defeated Kira Yoshian in the seat battle and became the leader of the alliance. As for the alliance?  What it is?  This young master has long forgotten about the covenant.  Oda Nobunaga was furious. He couldn't imagine that this idiot could still pull this trick in front of all the powerful warriors of Owari Kingdom.  The samurai in the room were also driven crazy. One hundred and eighty samurai had been hungry all day just to listen to his bragging.  What does it have to do with who you defeat?  We were hungry all day. In the end, the agreement was not signed, and we didn¡¯t even have a chance to have lunch and dinner together.  A month after the alliance was disrupted, it was reported that Yoshihiro Shiba was colluding with Todasou's lord Ishibashi Yoshitaka, Mikawa Kingdom's Kira Yoshian, Suruga Kingdom's Yoshimoto Imagawa, and Tsushima's water bandit Hattori Tomosada.  , intending to disrupt the alliance and take this opportunity to lure the Imagawa family's army to attack Owari from both land and water at the same time.  God knows how this idiot young master came up with such a complicated plan, and it was such a difficult plan to go both on land and water. With such strong organizational skills, everyone from Owari, Mikawa, and Suruga was included. I almost thought it was a shrinking one.  The "Anti-Owari Alliance", and I don't know if Oda Nobunaga, who concocted this crime, was inspired by the Tiger of Kai.  Neither the Oda retainers nor the people of Owari Province believe this accusation, but it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. This useless idiot has no other function except to be a waste of food and manure-making machine.  A typical example, so the young master who was a good-for-nothing and a fool was sumptuously kicked out of Owari Kingdom and wandered around the world despite the enthusiastic support of everyone.   On September 5, the third year of Hongzhi (September 27, 1557), when the emperor passed away, his legitimate son Prince Fangren ascended the throne and began to prepare for his father's funeral. The first thing was to discuss the posthumous title. The ministers were very concerned about this.  He was good at it and quickly decided on the posthumous title of Emperor Go-Nara. Then it became a problem. It was a huge sum to hold a funeral for the emperor. The problem was still one word, money.  The recently deceased Emperor Go-Nara faced this problem when he succeeded to the throne. He managed to scrape together enough money to pay for the ceremonial expenses for the burial of his father, Emperor Go-Kashiwara, but he could not pay for his own enthronement ceremony.  We can only postpone it until ten years later by relying on Yamashina Yantsugi to go to the countryside to get a little bit in the east and a little bit in the west to reluctantly hold the enthronement ceremony. The official positions of Oda Nobuhide and Oda Nobunaga were also obtained by chance, otherwise the imperial court would not  Will he be given an official position for a local tycoon?  The new emperor who just ascended the throne also faced this problem. He needed money to bury his father, and he also needed money to hold his own enthronement and coronation. The court would definitely not be able to come up with this money, so he had to find the shogunate and various samurai lords in the world to help him. Ashikaga Yoshiteru  The emperor was moved to tears by the 10,000 guan Wen Yongle money he had saved in his small treasury over the past few years.  The remaining ministers also took out their pockets and donated money voluntarily. Konoe Maekyu, a wealthy man, donated 5,000 kanmon, and Nijo HaruSeeing that the situation was not going well, Ryo emptied the family's fortune and made a donation of 2,000 kanmon. Kuga Harumichi also donated 1,500 kanmon by virtue of his participation in the Konoe family's business. The Sanjo family also donated 1,500 kanmon with the support of the Sanjo Nishi family.  Imade Kawa Haruki also collected some money from his stocks and donated 1,000 guan. The Central Yuan Tong didn't show off too much, so he only donated 1,500 guan. Other ministers donated a lot, including 300 and 200 guan.  The gap is still large.  At this time, Yoshiki Kira sent an envoy to the shogunate to apply for the guardianship of Ueno. Ashikaga Yoshiteru wanted to show off to the court and ordered him to donate more to the Kira family. It was already early November when the news was sent to Echigo.  Yoshitoki Kira immediately decided to donate 20,000 kan Yongle money for the future burial ceremony of Emperor Nara. In addition, he would send another envoy to present a generous congratulatory gift to the new emperor at the Zhengdan court meeting in the imperial court.  The emperor was so happy that he immediately issued an imperial edict to express his praise for Kira Yoshitoshi. Imadegawa Haruyuki served as an envoy to personally convey the imperial edict to Echigo, and announced his promotion to the three Zuohei Guardsmen.  As the general of the tutelage, Imedekawa Seiki hinted to Kira Yoshitoki that according to the court's decree, he could add a big character between the generals of the tutelage, but Kira Yoshitoki declined.  He knew very well what the garrison general did. In history, only the Kitahata family of the Southern Dynasties had three Nagen Nagano as the garrison generals. Emperor Go-Daigo of the Southern Dynasty added a big character to him.  The general of the garrison competed with the general of the Northern Dynasty to conquer the barbarians.  Kiragi is no longer afraid of the troubles in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has been more than 150 years since the Northern and Southern Dynasties were united. Even if the last activity of the Southern Dynasty is calculated, it will take more than a hundred years. What is the official position of a Southern Dynasty emperor?  It would not affect his fate, and Kira Yoshitoki didn't care about the so-called good or bad luck. He just didn't want to touch the taboo of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's strong self-esteem at this juncture.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
