    Just when it was about to turn into a Kinai tragedy, a shocking news suddenly came from the Hanoi Kingdom. It turned out that the Takaya Castle in the Hanoi Kingdom that had been captured so hard last year changed its banner again. The guardian of Hanoi, Hatakeyama Takamasa, took advantage of the hazy night half a month ago.  After seizing Takaya Castle and once again uniting the people of Yamato, the people of Kii and the hired Genlai launched a series of dazzling actions to recapture Kawachi.  The Hanoi people's army in the Miyoshi Army was in a state of turmoil. General Yu Zuo Xinjiao said without saying a word that he would return to Hanoi with more than 8,000 Hanoi soldiers to "encircle and suppress Hatama Gaozheng". It was such a big attack.  They left Miyoshi Chokei's main camp and returned to their hometown of Hanoi. However, as soon as they returned to Wakae Castle, they were "unfortunately" "captured" by Hatakeyama Takamasa. The eight thousand troops surrendered under the banner of Hatakeyama Takamasa.  In the blink of an eye, Hatakeyama Takamasa gathered 15,000 troops from Yamato Province, 15,000 troops from Kawachi Province, 2,000 troops from Kii Province, 3,000 troops from Genlai, and 35,000 troops.  The army launched an attack on the Izumi Kingdom, and this time it hit the people of the Izumi Kingdom. The five thousand soldiers of the Izumi Kingdom who were shaken also broke away from the front and fled back to their hometown to defend the homeland. The situation in the entire Kinai was facing collapse in an instant.  At the same time, there were signs of instability in the Tanba Kingdom. The Hatano family colluded with the Tango Isshiki family and the Harima Bessho family in an attempt to subvert the dominance of the Miyoshi family. The people of the Higashi-Harima Kingdom left Kyoto without a word and returned to Harima via the Tanba Kingdom.  In the territory, Naito Munekatsu, the guardian of Tanba, is also in a dilemma. The Tanba national army under his command has long been complaining about attacking the shogunate at such a cost, and they are even less interested in fighting when they hear that there is trouble in their hometown.  Naito Munekatsu was troubled by the generals and had no intention of marching into Luozhong. The situation of Miyoshi Yoshihide was not good either. As the people of Kawachi and Izumi Kingdoms successively left the front and returned to their hometowns to defend their territory, the people of Settsu Kingdom also experienced varying degrees of commotion.  Ikeda Nagamasa, the leader of the Settsu Riki people, proposed to return to his hometown to guard the territory to prevent the situation in Harima from reversing.  Facing such a strange situation, Sanhao Changqing also had a headache.  Naito Munekatsu was about to lead his army back to Tanba Kingdom to suppress the rebellion. Miyoshi Yoshihide's troops also fell into chaos because thousands of troops left without authorization, and Miyoshi Nagakei's main formation even left with 7,000 troops.  The momentum made it difficult for him to maintain an offensive situation.  But it was a bit unwilling to retreat just after crossing the Katsura River and arriving outside Kyoto.  His original plan was to take the opportunity to annihilate the troops of Rokkaku Yoshihide and Nakajo Tokihide, and then take advantage of the great opportunity when their two armies were lost to devour Yamashiro and Omi in one fell swoop. By then, the Miyoshi family would truly have  He dominated Kinnei, and no one could challenge his authority.  As the saying goes, it¡¯s up to people to make things happen.  No matter how clever Miyoshi Nagakei's plan is, it will always be useless. The news that Hatakeyama Takamasa, the hard-working governor, has gathered a bunch of rabble to attack Izumi Kingdom has spread to Kyoto. The remaining nearly 20,000 shogunate coalition troops will definitely lose their morale.  With great excitement, the originally certain war of annihilation has stirred up troubles again.  If you want to annihilate another 20,000 troops, you will have to consume more than twice the energy.  Whether Hatakeyama Takamasa can capture Izumi is of secondary importance. What is important is that if he does not turn his army back to rescue Izumi, it will give many potential enemies the opportunity to jump out and fan the flames.  Maybe Settsu Country, which was originally stable, will be in trouble again.  There is also Ashikaga Yoshiki, who went to the house of Shubo Kokutauchi because of his anger over the death of Hosokawa Mochitaka. Maybe he will be invited back by the remnants of the Awa Hosokawa clan to cause trouble.  There is also the unknown civil strife in Tanba, and the strange behavior of the Higashi-Harima Bessho clan and the Tango Isshiki clan, who have always been honest and obedient people, all indicate that there must be an invisible black hand behind this that is leading this wave of chaos in Kinai.  Governor Miyoshi Nagakei felt that he could no longer forcibly annihilate the remaining troops, so he sent a peace request to the shogunate a few days later.  This request for peace is very interesting. Miyoshi Nagakei declared to the shogunate the Miyoshi family's well-deserved control over Kyoto.  The shogunate was asked to abandon their armed forces and let the Miyoshi family take over Kyoto's security and taxation. This request was rejected by Ashikaga Yoshiteru without hesitation. The shogunate's ability to revive to the point where it could play a role in the Wanqi relied on the taxation of Kyoto and the annual tax collection of daimyo from various places.  Donations, and extra money from Ashikaga Yoshiteru's role as mediator in regional conflicts.  Among them, taxes from Kyoto and donations from daimyo from various places each account for more than 40% of the total revenue. Losing any one of them will inevitably lead to the decline of the shogunate. Once the shogunate declines, the sense of awe that the daimyo has hastily established towards the shogunate will once again be lost.  If it is exhausted, the annual donation will be greatly reduced, and the extra money Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself earns from military mediation in various places will also be greatly reduced. This is a chain of cause and effect.  Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshiken also knew that Miyoshi Nagakei had a guilty conscience. If it hadn't been for the fire in the backyard of Miyoshi's house, they would never have sat down to negotiate the so-called peace agreement with the shogunate, so they fully supported Ashikaga Yoshiteru's tough stance.  To bring the peace talks to a deadlock, Miyoshi Nagakei scolded the shogunate in the camp outside Kyoto for not understanding current affairs.It is simply unreasonable to be unwilling to accept the olive branch he offers.  After scolding the shogunate, he began to worry about the bad situation in his home base at the rear. Although this change would not cause the Miyoshi family to fall into a huge whirlpool, if he kept stalling in Kyoto, it was hard to say what would happen. The longer the delay, the worse it would be.  The deeper the impact, the more effort will be expended in the future.  Just when Miyoshi Nagakei was hesitant to give in, a series of dazzling news came from Kaga Country. The Kira family's chief general, Uesugi Masatora, led an army of 23,000 to defeat and wipe out 100,000 Yuechu Ichikui, and marched straight into it.  Entering the heart of Kaga Country, which had not been touched for eighty years, he annihilated more than 30,000 captives on the southern bank of the Tetori River with 30,000 people versus 60,000 people, and in one fell swoop, he defeated the famous Kaga Ichika Mune into half a cripple.  The monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple felt like the sky was about to fall. They were holding their heads in panic all day long. The young Buddhist master Honganji Mianru couldn't help but go to Kyoto to lobby the court, hoping to come up with a way to contain the Kira family.  He was arrogant and domineering, but the problem was that the civil and military princes of the Manchu Dynasty were too frightened by the war in Kyoto to dare to go out. They either hid at home and pretended to be deaf or mute, or simply went to Mount Hiei, Narakyo, and Koyasan to take refuge. Where were the people?  He was willing to offend the popular Kira family for him.  Ashikaga Yoshiki was so excited when he heard the news that Uesugi Masatora had defeated Kaga Ichimune for the first time. This was the first time he realized how important it was to have a loyal, brave and reliable ichimon. Uesugi Masatora  The information that these 30,000 tiger and wolf troops swept across Kaga was like a shot of booster injected into the crumbling shogunate. He immediately ordered the shogunate to use all kinds of power to publicize it, trying to make the momentum become earth-shattering and everyone would know about it.  As a result, the names of "The First Samurai of Eastern Kingdom", "Dragon of Echigo" and "God of the Northern Army", which Ashikaga Yoshiteru personally praised, gradually became known. Kira Yoshitoki's miraculous performance in the next few years of Echigo was also known by people.  It was excavated again and repeatedly hyped. In the past, public opinion in Kinai always felt that no matter how powerful Kiragi was, he was only in a distant country, and he was still far away from Kinai, who was the most trusted person in the world.  , But as the news of the Kaga half country came, people realized that the Kira family had unknowingly arrived outside Kinki. They only needed to bypass the Echizen Asakura clan to return to the capital. The one who dominated Kyoto for three years  The legendary figure who created a series of incredible achievements seems to be jumping into people's sight again.  To say who is most nervous about Kiragi's return to Kyoto, it must first be Miyoshi Nagakei, the overlord of Kinai. He has spent ten years walking back and forth in the quagmire of Kyoto, and now he is about to achieve success.  , Kira Yoshiki was like a lingering nightmare, suddenly coming out from an angle that no one could have imagined, frightening Miyoshi Changqing to the point of bursting out of his chest.  Ever since he got the news, Miyoshi Nagakei was disturbed and had trouble sleeping and eating. He was thinking secretly: "Why did this Kira Yoshitoki come back to kill him? If he wasn't staying in Hokuriku Kanto and entangled with the Sagami Hojo clan and the Kai Takeda clan, he was heading towards Kinai.  Do you really want to go to Luo? No way! We must not let him succeed! Our Miyoshi family wants to dominate the Kinai family and cannot establish the hegemony of the Hosokawa family. How can we let Kira Yoshitoki interfere in our good deeds at this time?  We need to find a way to deal with him as soon as possible!" Before he could think of what to do, he heard that Honganji was willing to bow his head and admit defeat in exchange for the Kira family's peace agreement.  Becoming a thing of yesterday, the territory of the Nagaga Half Kingdom has been the territory of the Kira family from now on. Such amazing changes make it difficult for Miyoshi Nagakei to understand the repetition. He does not understand when this territory became so easy to capture, so that even the Ishiyama Honganji Temple  He surrendered without any intention of struggling and resisting.  Ashikaga Yoshiteru acted quickly and decided to give Kira Yoshitoki the title of guardian of Kaga, and encouraged him to go to Luo and Beijing to defend the shogunate as soon as possible. Miyoshi Nagakei was so anxious that he could not sleep for several days. The dissent within the Miyoshi retainers group became more and more serious.  Many people feel that going to Luo this time is still a bit hasty, and the stability of the old nest behind them should be more limited than that of Shang Luo. What they say is nothing more than telling Sanhao Changqing that this war can no longer be fought.  The people who said these words were not the local servants at the grassroots level, but a large number of first-class members and quasi-first-class members of the Sanhao family. They supported Sanhao Changqing and came to Luo for profit, and they fought desperately for the whole summer and now they are not even a little bit.  No benefits were seen, but the losses of their respective families were huge. Seeing that it would be extremely detrimental to him if he continued like this, Miyoshi Chokei had no choice but to recruit Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunagahide to discuss it all night, and then submitted the peace request to the shogunate again the next day.  .  This reconciliation must be carefully revised. First of all, the shogunate's control and public security management rights over Kyoto are recognized. However, Kyoto's defense force must be shared with the Miyoshi family. The number of troops left at Nijo Imperial Palace must not exceed 500, and the remaining 2,000 troops.  The Miyoshi family will also send 500 troops, led by Miyoshi Choitsu, to garrison at Toji Temple in the south of Kyoto, and will leave Hosokawa Uzuna in Toji Temple as the leader's palace.    Miyoshi Nagakei, as the governor, will have the privilege of leading five hundred troops in and out of Kyoto, and will regularly exercise the power of accompanying the imperial minister every month to go to Nijo Imperial Palace to have lunch with the shogun to enhance understanding between the two parties.  In addition to mutual trust, the Kira family and the Rokkaku family are not allowed to enter the capital without official imperial documents, and are not allowed to interfere in Kyoto's defense and security affairs, etc. In addition, Miyoshi Chokei made the specific location of the garden where Toji Temple is regarded as the highlight of Kyoto.  Label them one by one.
