Dabaoji Yoshizou is, after all, one of the best martial arts masters in Deha. Over the years, he has conquered the rebellion of the Saragoshi clan in the east and west. With the assistance of the veteran Tosa Hayashi Chandong, he has revived the family business that had begun to decline in the previous family governor Dabaoji Harutoki. They Dabaoji The Muto family's family business reached its greatest extent in his hands. In the entire Dewa Kingdom, the only one who is more knowledgeable and skillful than him is Date Harumune who has retired. Whether it is Mogami Yoshimori, Onodera Keimichi or Tendo Yoromichi who has also retired, they can only Counting to be on par with Dabaoji Yoshimasu, Mogami Yoshimori may be slightly stronger among the four of them, but it is not enough to firmly suppress the others. He may not be good at strategy and military strategy, but his vision and precise judgment are not lacking at all. He knows better than anyone else that the Dabaoji clan cannot do without the support of Echigo. Their family As early as twenty years ago, he had established inextricable ties with Echigo, otherwise Daihoji Yoshimasu would not have become the uncle of Honjo Shigenaga. Tokai County is one of the richest places in Dewa Country, even stronger than the area near Yamagata Castle. Without the support of Echigo, the Daihoji clan would not be able to occupy the essence of Tokai County. He knows this better than anyone else. Before his death, his brother Daihoji Harutoki held his hand and told him to hug Echigo's thigh tightly. He must not ruin the long-term future of the Daihoji clan because of greed for profit. That's why Uesugi Masatora originally proposed to transfer the title of Daihoji clan to Although he was very dissatisfied, he still accepted the order. Generally speaking, the identity and status of the Daihoji clan in Dewa is just like the identity and status of the Kai Oyamada clan in Kai. The only difference is that he has "I am a Nagao retainer" posted on his head to advertise it widely. In order to ensure that he is not in the system of Dewa country, Being ostracized by other Chinese, Dabaoji Yoshizou married his younger sister to Onodera Kagemichi, a native of Dewa Riki. The Onodera family is descended from the Shufu family of the Fujiwara Hidego Yamauchi family, which was divided into three counties: Senhoku, Hiraka, and Katsuo in Dewa Province. Because these three prefectures have been called Shanhoku or Senhoku since the Heian period, they are also called the Senhoku three prefectures. After the Onodera clan joined the three prefectures in the Kamakura period, they gradually became known as the Senhoku Onodera clan. With the help of this local snake that has been rooted for more than 300 years, the Dabaoji family not only successfully stepped out of the shadow of decline, but also took this opportunity to expand and subjugate the Saragoshi and Raiji clans one by one. The journey for nearly 20 years has been like walking on thin ice. How could Daihoji Yoshizo be willing to become a puppet of this so-called anti-Echigo alliance? When Tosa Hayashi Chandong saw this, he knew that the persuasion of the retainers who were leaning towards the anti-Echigo alliance had failed. He was very worried that these guys would take the risk and kidnap Daihoji Yoshimasu, so he hurriedly glanced at the attendant and smoothed over the situation with a smile: "Actually, this problem is also It's not complicated. My lord's consideration is very reasonable. We, as Kira's retainers, can't act here and there. Otherwise, even if we rebel, we probably won't get any benefits from the Mogami family. For example, the Date family is as far away as Yonezawa. Isn't the purpose of coming here for profit? If there is no profit, why join in? "But what if we don't join the Anti-Etsuchi Alliance?" They are not fighting against Echigo, they are going to deal with us after all!" Saragoshiwei complained dissatisfied: "It would be great if we still have Shouchi in hand. Even if we can't defeat them, we can retreat into Shouchi and continue to hold on. I'm afraid they won't dare to cross. "Haguro Mountain, but do we have a way out now? Should we retreat to Haguro Mountain to ask for help?" "No! I think this Onodera clan's strategy can be used, but it must be changed before it can be used." For the tragedy described by the public, we only need to" Tosa Lin Chandong's voice became smaller and smaller, and his expression became more mysterious and unpredictable. It didn't take long for a burst of tacit laughter to break out in the evaluation room. On February 16, the second year of Eiroku, the Kasugayama Castle Assessment was held as scheduled. In addition to the daily follow-up of the agricultural policy, Kira Yoshitoki also made further adjustments to the Shinano and Ueno government orders. The reason for the modification was Some of the decrees that resulted from the acclimatization after leaving Echigo and were not suitable for both countries ensured that in the new year, farmers everywhere would quickly convert the new fields they cultivated into productive areas. Just when he was having a meeting to discuss entering Kanto and heading to Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to prepare for Masatora Uesugi to be crowned the governor of Kanto, a letter from Mikawa Kingdom was placed on his desk. Upon closer inspection, it was his brother Kira Yoshi. Letter from Ann. The general meaning of the letter was that he hoped that he could order the family retainers of Saijo Castle to provide financial and food support, and it would be best to send troops to help at the appropriate time. He and Matsudaira Motoyasu were about to break up. He is determined to assist his brother-in-law, Ujima Imagawa. "Brother is really being coaxed by Imagawa Harubu! Let him do whatever he wants! Anyway, Mikawa is too far away from my family and I can't control it. It's quite interesting that Matsudaira Motoyasu can't control himself so quickly It seems like something is not right. ! If you just ask for help, you can just ask for help from Okouchi Tajima Mamoru, why bother sending a letter to ?What's next? "Ji Liangyi didn't expect that his brother Ji Liangyi was also playing tricks on him. He read it several times with doubts and frowned even more. "Based on the distance, at least this letter will be delivered. After more than a month, the brother went to such trouble to send this letter. Could it be that he wanted to tell Yu not to attack the Three Rivers Kingdom? According to selfish considerations in this direction, it is indeed possible that the Imagawa clan may have promised him some benefits, such as controlling the Three Rivers and a Half Kingdom to stabilize the family fortune that is about to collapse. It seems that this handwriting should be made by Imagawa Jugini. Guidance! It's no wonder that the Imagawa family is responsible for allowing a nun who has been a monk and secluded for many years to re-emerge. " Mikawa is the homeland of the Kira family. The forces that have been operating here for more than three hundred years are intertwined. Although it was once suppressed by the Ashikaga Shogun family in the Muromachi period, the protection of Mikawa Kingdom was also controlled by the Hosokawa and Isshiki clans. The junior high school was once controlled by the political office deacon I The Shi clan was controlled by officials. For example, Nobumitsu Matsudaira and Munemitsu Toda were both samurai from Kyoto who migrated to Mikawa to crusade against Kazuki Natsuda. However, it was precisely because of this that the Kira family was able to avoid being involved in the Onin Rebellion and the Meiton Coup. Everything fell apart in the maelstrom. It is understandable that his brother Kira Yoshiyasu planned to stand in the Imagawa clan's true camp. After all, the Imagawa family had been operating in Mikawa Country for nearly ten years. Kira Yoshihiro married Princess Tsuruhime, the legitimate daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Last year, he gave birth to his legitimate son, Kira Manzhumaru, and he was living a very comfortable life. Suddenly, his father-in-law died in Ozazama. He felt so angry and angry that it was inevitable to seek revenge from Oda Nobunaga, but he had to learn from it. Kira Yoshian, who has studied Sinology, is also well aware of the principle that "to deal with foreign forces, one must first settle the domestic affairs." In recent years, the relationship between Sunfu and Matsudaira Motoyasu has been developing. On the other hand, the origin of the Matsudaira family and the Tojo Kira family makes Kira Yoshian I have always felt that it was disgusting that this person was not very respectful to his old master. Over the years, he had maintained harmony in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, but in fact, the two sides had fought countless times in private. Kira Yoshian had always hated him. Believing that this Matsudaira Motoyasu is a representative of the treacherous person, Kira Yoshian has been paying close attention to Matsudaira Motoyasu's every move, trying to find traces of rebellion in his behavior. After searching for several years, he found nothing strange that made him feel a little bit. Discouraged, but his poor performance in the Okehazama battle still gave Kira Yoshiyasu an opportunity, so Kira Yoshihiro wrote a complaint and presented it to Imagawa Uzuma for Matsudaira Motoyasu's inaction in the Okehazama battle. Naka probably compares him to the culprit of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death at Ohazama, including the fact that he did not hold on or support Narumi Castle after the incident. In addition, he also has an "enemy". The irrefutable evidence is that on the night after the incident in Tongzhajian, without a large group of pursuers, he took the initiative to abandon Dagao City with a thousand troops. Not only did he not set fire to the city and destroy the food and grass in the city, he also did not take the small pack. The team re-transported the grain and grass, but chose to abandon it directly to the Oda army, including a full set of small pack equipment and pack horses. To prove that what he said was true, he also mentioned that Matsudaira Motoyasu once said. When he was captured and lived in Owari Kingdom, he was a close friend of Oda Nobunaga, so he had reason to believe that Matsudaira Motoyasu deliberately aided the enemy in this war. As for Matsudaira Motoyasu, he once mentioned that he led an army of one thousand. The story that Shi Shi ran to Dashu Temple and attempted to commit seppuku must be fabricated. Dashu Temple is outside Okazaki Castle in Netta County. Even if the Oda army dared to fight again, they would not dare to cross Bihai County and pursue outside Okazaki Castle in Netta County. Dashuji came to hunt him down, not to mention that he was protected by a thousand troops. There was a large group of Matsudaira family members in Okazaki City not far away who could not be hunted down, and based on the information they received, they could. It was determined that the Oda army did not go deep into the territory of Mikawa Kingdom, but only retreated after chasing Owari near the border village of Mizhai. The above words and deeds really made the Imagawa clan jealous. Compared with Kira Yoshian, who was also a cultural figure with similar interests and was also born in the clan, the short and fat Mikawa native Matsudaira Motoyasu could not get into the eyes of the Imagawa clan. , Kira Yoshian and he both communicated with Kyoto accent, which was Suruga's accent at best. Only Matsudaira Motoyasu's authentic Mikawa dialect was really hard to hear. He didn't understand what his father valued about him. Was it just because he was fatter and more honest? Look at the beautiful regular script written by Kira Yoshian, and then look at the bad calligraphy written by Matsudaira Motoyasu like ants crawling. Moreover, he used pseudonyms throughout the self-defense letter. Imagawa shook his head and still believed in Kira Yoshiyasu's words. At least what he wrote was well-founded, doubting and inferring. Matsudaira Motoyasu kept showing his loyalty, saying that he was Innocent. If he was innocent, why didn't he explain clearly what it meant to abandon Dagao City and a pile of food and grass with a thousand troops and go to Dashu Temple to commit seppuku? Act for him? Matsudaira Motoyasu couldn¡¯t explain it clearly. You can¡¯t say that you¡¯ve been having a fever lately and you¡¯re going to have diarrhea when you see your Bodhi Temple, right? He did regret it when he returned to Okazaki Castle, but could he still deny it after it was done? GoodAll the family members of the family wanted to make this matter known to everyone. He had no choice but to retreat. The Imagawa family really did not order the punishment of Matsudaira Motoyasu, but told him not to have evil thoughts, but to rest and recuperate and prepare for war. When the Imagawa family's strength was exhausted, they would go to Oda Nobunaga to avenge his father's murder. Matsudaira Motoyasu quickly made a grateful expression. , thanked the family governor for his extrajudicial kindness, and repeatedly expressed his true loyalty to the Imagawa family. Of course, this kind of order was not the real intention of the Imagawa family, but was taught to him step by step by his grandmother Kanagawa Jugini. His father had no time to teach him and had to ask his grandmother to teach him on his behalf. However, the Imagawa family really felt that he was Jun Enzo after all. The king of the country felt awkward being criticized by his elderly grandmother all day long. He felt that his grandmother should stay in the Buddhist hall to pray for his grandfather and father or simply enjoy happiness, and there was no need to participate in major national affairs. After all, it was not the guidance of his wise and martial father. It was inevitable that the Imagawa family would have a change of mentality. Moreover, samurai always despised women. Although his grandmother was a legendary figure who assisted two generations of family governors, this had something to do with him. How much does it matter? when he was born. My grandmother, Shougui Ni, has become a nun and lives in seclusion. When I grew up, I only saw her once during festivals or when my grandfather made annual offerings. So Imagawa wrote a letter privately and sent it to Kira Yoshian, telling his brother-in-law that this was actually not his original intention. Everything was arranged by his grandmother Sukini Imagawa, and he still preferred him in his heart. There is indeed something wrong with this Matsudaira Motoyasu, and I hope he will treat it with caution. Once he finds out that he has different intentions, he can do it boldly and confidently. The Imagawa family will really support him behind the scenes. He received a personal letter from the governor of the family and promised that Kira Yoshian also wiped away the depression of failure. He replied excitedly and said that he would do his best to fulfill the governor's instructions. On the other hand, Matsudaira Motoyasu is also extremely resentful of Kira Yoshian. He thinks that I am always very respectful to you. Although I have offended many of my retainers, isn't it okay for me to take the initiative to apologize every time? How much hatred do you have to make you go against me again and again, even to the point of suing and trying to kill yourself? If he hadn't been lucky, he would have really fallen into the hands of Kira Yi'an, so the confrontation between the two sides changed from small actions in the dark to an open confrontation, and the sparks of the collision became bigger and bigger, and signs of armed conflict gradually appeared. . Hattori Masaaki¡¯s intelligence is very powerful, especially the secrets about Mikawa that he can always investigate clearly. It¡¯s really hard to complain about Kira Yoshi when he sees this inside story. This top brother of his is really not an ordinary idiot. He can easily come up with his own logic system. What's even more interesting is that it is really interesting to stare at this little turtle. Kira Yoshishi curled his lips and said contemptuously: "If my brother wants money or food, give it to him. If he wants to beat Matsudaira, let him beat him. Who said he is Yu's brother-in-law who has the same father? If he makes this request, I still have to give it to him. I am unable to expand the territory of Sanhe, and I have no interest in playing a trick to divide the world. "The passage of ten years is enough to change a person, especially from the youthful and impulsive youth to the graceful youth. Kira Yoshimoto is no longer the reckless kid of thirteen or fourteen years old. He has a family and a bright career prospect. In the past ten years, what he has seen, heard, and thought of is the wise guidance of his father-in-law Yoshimoto Imagawa, and the Imagawa family. bright future. People are realistic creatures, and their mentality will always change as things change. For example, Kira Yoshio is now a die-hard supporter of the Imagawa family. Looking back on his firm stance against Imagawa ten years ago is really embarrassing, not to mention Kira Yoshigo's death. Kira Chihiro's death was nothing compared to the ten years of wealth and glory his father-in-law had given him, nor the beauty of the mortal world with his loving wife and beautiful family. After not seeing each other for ten years, the two brothers embarked on two completely different paths. When they saw Kira Yoshi's letters and the gorgeous and unfamiliar handwriting, Kira Yoshi didn't feel the warmth of family affection at all. Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot force it. , since his brother has chosen to take a path that he is not optimistic about, Kira Yoshi will not push too hard, so as not to cause greater cracks in the already weak family relationship. Kira Yoshi was not surprised at all. He had not had much contact with his brother Kira Yoshian since he was a child. His mother and birth status were destined to make Kira Yoshian transform from a direct descendant to a concubine. He could become the Imagawa family's heir apparent. The son-in-law also played a part in his efforts, and he didn¡¯t feel that he owed him much for allowing him to act so freely. Ten years of wealth and glory is a blessing that many people can¡¯t hope for. Ji Liangyi¡¯an should also be content. As for the future path, it depends on him. He took charge of it himself. "Besides, Mikawa Country is far away from Echigo on the Tokaido Road and is separated by Shinano, Kai, Suruga, and Ene, so many neighboring countries. No matter how long my hand is, I can't reach that far. My goal is to go south to Kanto to take control of the country. The lion of Sagami has no time to play with the people of Mikawa, and it will be troublesome for the old people in the family to really absorb it. " He may not care about Kira Yoshian's attitude, but he has to consider the two or three hundred people on Mikawa's side!If he hadn't been worried about the sudden arrival of these heirs and their influence on the heirloom group he had built, he would not have repeatedly emphasized that Nobuzada Ohuchi and others should protect their hometown of Mikawa, and there was no need to make progress and do not want things in the Imagawa family. Zhongduo made a statement. When he learned that Imagawa Yoshimoto was about to go out to fight Owari, he ordered all the Nishi Mikawa samurai to be silent. Since he had not received the order, he would not take the initiative. After receiving the order, he would probably slow down his actions as much as possible and not rush to the front. When he met Imagawa, The retainer's accusations were pushed back and forth without refutation or quarrel. In short, it was just a drag-on tactic in exchange for Imagawa Yoshimoto's actions becoming slightly out of line. During the entire Okehazama War, the Nishi-Mikawa people who were stationed in Hatzu County and Bihai County at the rear of Mikawa Kingdom did not move a single soldier. The Nishi-Mikawa army in the Imagawa Army was also very slack and lacked a high fighting spirit. For this reason, they suffered Many Imagawa family samurai ridiculed him. Ohuchi Nobuzada just treated this as a fart and was not even in the mood to pay attention. Strictly speaking, they are only a samurai family controlled by the Imagawa family. Their lord was Kira Yoshi in Echigo, and Echigo's order came down to delay him. How could he care whether Imagawa Yoshimoto's general order was urgent or not? If you find a reason to push it away, if you can't push it, just keep up with the main force. I just stayed up until it rained. After the storm fell, it was obvious that more sentries could be deployed to control the information on Atsuta streets. Even if Oda Nobunaga's surprise attack army could not be intercepted, they could still provide timely warnings to the nearby military forces, but Ohuchi Nobusada did not have any at all. Instead of taking any action, they camped on the spot to hide from the rain on the grounds that the heavy rain was not conducive to marching. After the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death came, they immediately led their own troops to retreat. The flag also decisively gave up the pursuit. This is the greatest tacit understanding established by both parties. The blatant undermining of the Imagawa family will inevitably affect Nishi Mikawa's home base, so he has not taken any more actions for this reason. After all, Nishi Mikawa is close to Owari and with the support of the Imagawa family, he is counting on Oda Nobunaga's conscience to cause trouble. He found that it was unrealistic to help the Kira family. Maybe helping Nishi Mikawa would become his family's territory again. Oda Nobuhide had a history of briefly ruling Nishi Mikawa. "Since they want to fight life and death, let them do it! Just make sure that Yu's old territory in Nishi Mikawa is not lost. I don't care what tricks they play! Oda Nobunaga can't even think of attacking Nishi Mikawa. It's time for Yu to give up He wrote a letter to advise him!" He folded and kept Ji Liangyi'an's letter. He felt that this letter was quite memorable. In fact, there were some things he didn't say. Before Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, he was even more worried that the Suruga tycoon would grow into a serious problem for him. If the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Koshigawa Shun was allowed to develop without any restrictions, when the power fed back would affect Shinano, it would make the Kira family particularly uncomfortable. Maybe Imagawa Yoshimoto will wantonly interfere in things in Shinano and even Kanto after he becomes stronger. This feeling can easily remind him of the days when he was bullied by the Imagawa family in Mikawa many years ago, so he is determined to let Imagawa Yoshimoto die in peace. . But now, after the death of Yoshimoto Kawakawa, a new question arises. How should he face the gradually growing Oda Nobunaga? This man is simply a legend of the Warring States Period, regardless of his unlucky luck or amazing means. All of them have left a profound mark on the history of Japan and even East Asia. ??Historically, his successor Monkey's brazen invasion of Korea could be regarded as the beginning of the challenge to the Central Plains Dynasty. He hated Monkey's ambition very much. And he is an unscrupulous villain, and Oda Nobunaga himself is a more rebellious villain than a monkey. His ideals, aspirations and actions are simply more disgusting than Kusunoki Masashige in the eyes of Kira Yoshiki. Although Oda Nobunaga is called the Owari Fool, he is not really stupid. On the contrary, he is still an extremely smart person. Since Oda Nobunaga stopped doing the thing of killing the leader of Matt and returned to normal, in the past few years, Ri worked hard to rectify the military and prepare for war, and achieved victory after victory in Owari. Not only did he establish the authority of the family governor for himself, but he also gradually honed the political skills he had lacked for many years. In fact, Oda Nobunaga has already vaguely regarded Kira Yoshitoki as his competitor. Of course, this kind of ulterior motives are only hidden in his subconscious. He still has no capital to compete with Kira Yoshitoki, but he still feels that As a boy, he had more friends than rivals. Perhaps his memory still remained as the child who was knocked off his back by the recoil when he first used an iron cannon. Kira Yoshitoki also has a very complicated attitude towards him. He admires his intelligence, keen judgment, accurate judgment and decisive temper, but he is also worried that his future achievements will become a major problem for him. The Oda family is not as strong as he thought. , should he support this friend from his youth, or should he support his opponent and completely break with him? The complicated problem gave him a headache. Just when he was about to give up, an idea suddenly flashed across his face. A look of understanding appeared on Kira Yoshi's face, and he chuckled and said, "Although I know?There will be a breakup sooner or later, but before the breakup, you still have to use him as much as possible. Maybe using him well can save me a lot of trouble! "
