    In the first month of the third year of Eiroku, this snowy winter seemed extremely cold. Even the warm and humid Kinai was hit by continuous heavy snows. Settsu Country, which used to only receive wet and cold rain, also faced a long-lost blizzard. Listen to  It is said that the snowstorm situation in Kanto is very serious. Only cold and distant countries such as Hokuriku and Yu'o are accustomed to such snowstorms.  Miyoshi Nagakei has not had a pleasant winter this winter. Kawachi Kunihatakeyama Takamasa is like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be shaken off. If he wants to be beaten, he will hide and seek. If not, he will jump up and down to cause trouble. The Miyoshi family is tossing back and forth.  Many samurai were exhausted, and this year's war was also the same. As soon as Hatakeyama Takamasa saw the Miyoshi army coming back, he withdrew his army back to Hanoi without saying a word.  Hatakeyama Takamasahi came up with a beautiful reason. After the war in Kyoto, he had no more demands. Restoring Hanoi was his ambition. He also righteously reprimanded Miyoshi Nagakei for the sins he had done to Kyoto. Half of Kyoto was affected by the war.  , many Buddhist temples and ancient temples were destroyed in his hands. His actions were worse than Ouchi Yoshihiro's in the Funaoka Mountain War, and almost comparable to the Doichiku Rebellion after the Cargill Rebellion.  Hearing such a disgusting rebuke, Miyoshi Nagakei wanted to tear off Hatakeyama Takamasa's head and kick it away as a cuju. If the Miyoshi family had not suffered a big loss in Kyoto and only got a little consolation prize, he would have launched an attack at all costs.  The current situation of the Hanoi Kingdom's conquest is obviously very unfavorable to the Miyoshi family. He is forced to endure this bad breath, and the guy Hatakeyama Takamasa does not exist.  When the Miyoshi family saw Hatakeyama's army retreating and returning to Hanoi, although they reprimanded Hatakeyama Takamasa for his bad behavior of fleeing without a fight, they were actually relieved that Hatakeyama Takamasa ran back without saying a word.  The Sanhao Army has just experienced the Luozhong Battle throughout the summer.  There were more than 10,000 soldiers who died in Kyoto before and after the battle.  Therefore, the number of injured was as many as sixteen thousand.  In fact, the battle damage only represents one aspect. More importantly, the Miyoshi army was hit by the sudden rebellion, and the negative impact of the Kira family's sudden seizure of the Kaga half country greatly dampened the morale of tens of thousands of Miyoshi family soldiers. If Hatakeyama  Gao Zheng did not choose to retreat so quickly, but insisted on fighting a joint battle with the exhausted Miyoshi Army in Izumi Kingdom. Even Miyoshi Changqing was not sure that he could win the war.  Naito Munekatsu led 6,000 remnant troops back to Tamba Country to clean up his mess, mainly due to the trouble caused by Hatano Harumichi, the largest force in Tamba.  This change is not the first time Hatano Harumichi has acted. In the past seven years, the Hatano family has made some noise almost every year. Naito Sokatsu has also led his troops to fight with the Hatano family several times, each with their own injuries.  The reason why 10,000 Danba troops came instead of more was because of Hatano Harumichi's refusal to cooperate.  At the end of September, Naito Munekatsu defeated Hatano's army in the Fifth Battle of Yagami Castle, and shot General Hatano Harumichi with an arrow, causing the arrow to fall from his horse. The morale of Hatano's army collapsed, and he was defeated by Naito Munekatsu.  They stormed into Yagami Castle and forced the Hatano clan to abandon Yagami Castle where they had lived for generations.  Hatano Harumichi also died on the way to escape because of the recurrence of arrow sores due to anger and rage.  The successor of the new family governor, Hatano Hideharu, was only twenty years old, but he was a brave and outstanding samurai. After hastily burying his father.  With the help of the family members Akai Naomasa, Monai Kyouye, Akai Yukiie, and Araki Uzuna, he led an army to raid Yagami Castle, and drove the careless Naito Sokatsu back to Yagi Castle in one fell swoop.  After this back-and-forth military conflict, the native Tanba forces represented by Hatano Hideji completely broke up with the Miyoshi family. Hatano Hideharu's fierce resistance received strong support from the Tanba people, and many people who were related to the Hatano clan united in Yakami Castle.  Under the banner of this young man, he actively resisted Naito Munekatsu's tough rule. At one time, the Yagami Castle side had more than 10,000 troops.  After several fierce battles, Naito Munekatsu's military strength had dropped to less than 5,000. In desperation, he had to give up his plan to rush to Tanba and retreat to Yagi Castle to assume a long-term confrontation posture. This change made the Miyoshi family  The dominance of Tamba Country has been greatly shaken, and the controllable posture of the past is no longer the same.  Bessho Anji of Higashi-Harima was also a brave and outstanding samurai. He was eight years older than Hatano Hideji. After the Bessho family was defeated by Miyoshi Yoshiken in the Harima expedition a few years ago, the entire Bessho clan and even Higashi-Harima were affected.  All the people in the country are deeply troubled by the defeat in that battle. They have a hundred reasons to defend their defeat.  The most important one is that they did not expect that the Miyoshi family would launch an attack on Higashi-Harima from the waterway at the same time.  Before that, the Miyoshi family had not revealed any intentions against Harima. The people of the Harima country were busy fighting among themselves and did not expect to be invaded. Suddenly, Miyoshi Yoshihide, the general of the Miyoshi Army, led his army into the Harima country. Such a quick and decisive attack.  The Harima navy general Kajiwara Shigeemon did not have time to react to the attack, and Higashi-Harima was suddenly suppressed by Miyoshi Yoshihide.  The unsuspecting Higashi-Harima people ate it as soon as it came upUnfortunately, before the troops could be summoned, they were pressed by successive armies and were unable to breathe. The troops urgently summoned by each family were only 23/10 of the total strength, and they could only defend the city with a few hundred warriors.  In the Walled City, Miyoshi Yoshihide was helpless and was too cunning. He actually promised many small and medium-sized people a lot of money to win over a group of leading parties, which caused major flaws in Higashi Harima's internal defense. In the end, everything was lost with one wrong move.  Bessho Anji, who had just inherited the family governor this time, was fighting against the Miyoshi family with a heart of revenge. He secretly called for military service before the Miyoshi family launched the Rakuchu War, and raided the Harima Kingdom during the most intense moment of the Rakuchu War.  Several traitorous Chinese who were affiliated with the Miyoshi family were killed one by one and announced that they would break away from the control of the Miyoshi family and return to the banner of the Akamatsu clan.  His statement was supported by all the people in the Harima Kingdom, including Uno Shimono Mamasahide, a powerful citizen of Nishi-Harima. This person is the governor of the Tatsuno Akamatsu clan, also known as the Uno clan, and is the former governor of the Akamatsu clan, Akamatsu.  Harumasa's son-in-law, because at this time the Akamatsu family was in conflict with the family governor, the former family governor Akamatsu Harumasa and the current family governor Akamatsu Yoshiyu were at odds.  The result of the confrontation between father and son is that the people of the three countries of Bizen, Mimasaku, and Harima also choose sides according to their respective positions. Among enemies, it is inevitable that if you support the previous governor, I will support the current governor. Uno Masahide happens to be in the same clan as Bessho Anji.  Bad relations.  The people of Higashi-Harima Province, where the Bessho clan is located, are die-hard supporters of the current family governor Akamatsu Yoshisuke.  In recent years, the relationship between the two parties has also reached a deadlock with the fierce competition for the Akamatsu family governor.  But since the invasion of the Mihaoshi family, everything has been interrupted.  Akamatsu Harumasa and Akamatsu Yoshisuke, a pair of lively father and son, also felt that the powerful Miyoshi family was coveting them. It would not be appropriate for them to continue the quarrel because of their family problems, so they invited Bizen, Mimasaku, and Harima people to discuss how to deal with the Miyoshi family.  It just so happened that at this time, the black hand of the Kira family came in to make a big push, so when it came to the issue of foreign invaders, the powerful people of East and West Harima united together.  Not only did he receive the support of these two people, he also received the political position of Kodera, one of the three Akamatsu families in Harima Junior High School, and the powerful family retainer Miki Touaki.  The strong support of the Bizen guardians Dai Urakami Masamune and Matsuda Motoki, as well as the Mimasaka guardian Dai Nakamura Yumune, was partly due to concerns about the Miyoshi family's interference in the Akamatsu family's political affairs. The bigger reason was the huge influence exerted by the Kira family behind the scenes.  Without the Kira family behind the scenes, the all-pervasive Kira ninjas and the Kira envoys operating everywhere, under constant intimidation and inducement, forced the Akamatsu retainers group that had been divided for many years back together.  The ghosts gathered in Zishiao City again, and their purpose was to repel the powerful Sanhao family.  Akamatsu Harumasa and Akamatsu Yoshisuke, the living treasure father and son, sat together again, looking at a room full of faces they had not seen for many years with emotion. At the same time, they were also surprised by the strong influence of the Kira family.  As the saying goes, sake makes people happy, and wealth touches people's hearts. No one knows how strong the Kira family's military strength is.  They only knew about the shocking Vietnam-China war. Even the battle on the banks of the Tetori River in southern Kaga country was not enough to scare them. After all, there was a huge Kinki quagmire separating the east and west.  However, the financial strength of the Kira family was highlighted at this moment. The Yongle money worth ten thousand guanwen was placed in front of the ministers. However, in the face of the mysterious Kira ninja who killed people invisible, no one dared to move, let alone move.  If you rob this money, who knows what the consequences will be if you wake up tomorrow and move your head.  The meeting lasted only half an hour and quickly passed a resolute anti-Miyoshi decision. Akamatsu Yoshisuke immediately decided on the three countries of Harima, Misaku, and Bizen to resolutely resist the invasion of the Miyoshi family, and stated that the Akamatsu clan had no intention of getting involved in Kinki.  The purpose of the chaos is to resist the rude invasion of the Mihaoshi family. The people of the above three countries will resolutely resist when the Mihaoshi family invades. If there is any violation, the warriors of the three countries will jointly punish it.  At the same time, he also made a proposal to support Hatano Hideharu, the anti-Miyoshi side of Tanzania. Akamatsu Yoshisuke was determined to win over this powerful national lord from a neighboring country and marry his biological sister to Hatano Hideharu to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. At the same time, he could provide support for  The idea of ??finding a strong supporter in Tamba Country is simply amazing.  Akamatsu Harumasa did not refute his son's proposal. He also felt that it was a very good thing to have a son-in-law who controlled most of Tamba, so he quickly got married through the intermediary of the Kira family envoy. Uno Masahide felt that he had a brother-in-law.  The sworn brothers may be able to provide him with some unexpected help, while Bessho Anji is slowly thinking about how to strengthen the relationship with the Hatano family in the future. This proposal was approved without hesitation among the people of all walks of life.  At first glance, it seems that the Harima Akamatsu clan is trying to revive the dead by taking advantage of the Kira family's opportunity to bring in the anti-Mitsuyo family. However, the Akamatsu retainers and a group of people who left the country on their own and were forcibly pulled back know very well that the Akamatsu clan is like a  ?The terminally ill old man has many paralysis problems that have long been hard to recover from, and one more Hatano Hideji trapped in him will only make the turbid pond even more confusing and difficult to distinguish.  If Hatano Hideji was smart enough, he would definitely try to maintain a neutral stance on Harima matters, instead of being too eager to support one side and getting himself into trouble. This change is even less likely to change the fact that the Akamatsu family is in decline.  Decline is decline and cannot be reversed with a little blessing from external forces.  At least this external force is not strong enough to ignore everything and change everything. Akamatsu Harumasa and Akamatsu Yoshisuke are not the kind of family governors with amazing talents. They can still relax and run their own small kingdom, but before that, they need to  Add another premise, that is, defeat the invading army of the Miyoshi family Thinking of this, many Western warriors present showed a weird smile that you understand and I understand.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
