"Master" Kira Yoshi looked at the old man who had just turned sixty this year in surprise. Since Yamamoto Tokiyuki gradually faded out of the center, he had not seen this master who treated him like a son for a long time. Time flew by in the blink of an eye. More than ten years have passed, and he is no longer the carefree three-foot-old child, and the energetic one-eyed samurai Yamamoto Kansuke has become a gray-haired old man. Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile: "I have almost become useless as an old minister. The only thing I can do for His Highness is to guard the Fangping Domain. In the past few years, I have had a lot more time after leaving the town of Ezhong. I have a lot of free time every day." Let me write about the history of the past. I have written about my death intermittently over the years after the first year of Yonglu. I think I can write down all the events of the past few years if I give the veteran two years. His Highness Gongfang protects this initial foundation, and also wants to be close to Kyoto, the gathering place of humanities, and collect more historical records since the Ming Dynasty for the purpose of writing a book. I heard that the ministers in Kyoto have the habit of recording essays. , I think we can find some historical documents and records in Kyoto!" Kira Yoshi sighed quietly. He didn't know that his master had good intentions for the Ashikaga family. He just thought about how long it would take to see each other again. Unavoidably with a sense of melancholy in his heart, he sighed quietly: "History book? Master really plans to write a history book in the style of "My Wife's Mirror" and "Taiping Ji"! Then I really shouldn't stand in the way anymore! " Tokiyuki Yamamoto's writing of books is nothing new. Since the family business of the Ashikaga family has been booming during the Koji period, the chief family elder has gradually faded out and become invisible. Every year, there is almost no comment or comment. For a plan, Takigawa Tokiyoshi, Shima Tokikatsu, Honjo Shigenaga and others are often called to help when there are occasional military training tasks. In my daily life, I like to take care of the wild flowers and wild grasses native to Echigo. There are several mulberry trees and a vegetable field in the backyard of my house. The vegetable fields are taken care of by the family members. The old man admits that he does not have enough energy. Just seeing the green plants is enough. . Other than that, my only hobby is writing books. Kira Yoshitoki had gone through countless collections of classics from Kyoto countless times. Yamamoto Tokiyuki felt that he did not have enough energy, so he specially asked some young people from Kasugayama Castle who were agile, knew how to read and hyphenate, and were clever enough to copy them for him. , and he himself basically wrote more than a thousand words a day. Over time, I wrote hundreds of thousands of words of manuscripts. Kira Yoshitoki often saw Yamamoto Tokiyuki's letters mentioning where he had written and what kind of historical materials he needed to support. Kira Yoshitoki immediately arranged for people to search for relevant historical materials and not only asked for Kira Yoshitoki's support. . He will also go to Miaojue Temple to look for Huzai Zongyi to excerpt and discuss historical materials and classics. With Kira Yoshitoshi's strong connections in the imperial court and the shogunate, it was easy to access the official historical records of these decades. Except for the inconvenience of copying the minister's notes, all documents collected in Kyoto could be copied and sent to Echigo. . Many Habayashi families in the imperial court and followers of the shogunate loved to do this kind of thing, and Kira Yoshiki would pay a considerable sum of money for retouching according to the corresponding number of copied documents. As this information accumulates over time, the types of historical materials become more and more diverse. This gave Yamamoto Tokiyuki the idea of ??writing a book that far surpassed "Azuma Mirror" and "Taipei Chronicles". Gradually, the information retrieved moved forward from the Xianglu period he experienced to the Ming Dynasty before he was born. The brief history of each era also turned into a general history that integrated every character in each era. Kira Yoshi thought for a while and then said: "This book by Master Toshiba took a lot of time and investment, and there is really not much I can do. The only way is to ask Sakamoto to prepare twenty smart and clever young people for Master Toshiba to drive. However, Yu Dao has a preliminary idea. How about letting Master Yu Guang and Zong Yi write accounts in different places during the same period and compile them into a book when the world is at peace? " "Yu Guang is now out of Kaga Country. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Yamamoto Tokiyuki hesitated and said: "In addition, Master Toraya Souyi also has a duty of worship" "Master Zouyi has no problem. Since the master plans to leave Sakamoto, it will be convenient for me. It is planned to transfer Nakajo Tokihide, who was guarding Omi, to serve as Kaga General, and Numata Yumitsu will be transferred back to Kasugayama Castle to prepare for the southward march to Kanto. Yumitsu will mainly record the military records of marches and battles, and Master Soohito will mainly record cultural, economic and As for the development of the private sector, the records they make will be copied and sent to Sakamoto regularly for the masters to compile. Of course, the masters and craftsmen can also provide regular feedback with certain records as backup. "It only took a short time for Kira Yoshitoki to arrange everything. , which made Tokiyuki Yamamoto feel quite feasible. As a result, the topic of the evaluation meeting gradually changed from discussing the emerging Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinki to the history book that Yamamoto Tokiyuki wanted to record. Soon the young samurai discovered that their names were still in the unfinished history book. There were records of trumpets and achievements, so he started to blow loudly and enthusiastically, eager to blow the trumpets.A battle was fought to obtain the heads of certain samurai, and the number of soldiers killed and the rewards received were clearly recorded. The evaluation room suddenly became lively, and the previously depressed and sluggish atmosphere was gradually dispelled. The samurai all wanted to make a name for themselves in the history books. Even now, the world is optimistic about the future of the Ashikaga family. How can samurai like them be mentioned in future historical records? It is absolutely extremely honorable and honorable to show one's face first. Since the Genpei era, hasn't the name of the samurai family been supported by historical materials and legends? "I wonder if Master, Master, has thought of a name for this history book?" Tokiyuki Yamamoto bowed and saluted, "If you don't have one yet, why not ask the Lord to name it!" "What should I call it? "Piecing Rebellion" It seems inappropriate, and "Sengoku Chronicle" is a bit too ordinary" Kira Yoshi had an idea and said: "How about calling it "Ashikaga Taipei Chronicle"? Anyway, in the past two hundred years, there have been "Taipei Chronicles" and "Taihei Chronicles". "The Chronicles of Ashikaga Taipei" and "The Chronicles of the Great Peace", it wouldn't be a big deal to have one more." Yamamoto Tokiyuki praised: "The title of "Ashikaga Taihei Chronicles" is indeed good. The word "Taipei" expresses people's desire for peace in the world, and at the same time it can be related to it. The crisis and suffering caused by the chaos in the world since the Ming Dynasty coup mentioned in the book are in sharp contrast. Since this great chaos that has affected hundreds of years can be viewed from the perspective of the shogunate, then I will use this name! Interrupted, Kira Yoshitoki also took this opportunity to calm down quickly, thinking that the impulsive decision just now was indeed inappropriate. It is now the best choice for Yamamoto Tokiyuki to leave town Omi, not to mention that once he lightly mobilizes his army to intervene in Echizen's affairs, Trigger an unpredictable crisis. It means that it won't take long for the army to leave Kanto and there will inevitably be chaos. ????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ With one stretch of his right fist, the famous Kaga was beaten to a cripple. In fact, as long as the Kira family's army left for three or two years, all this pressure would be completely lost. After all, the Kira family is also an emerging force that has just emerged a few years ago. It is true that the Kira family is ancient and belongs to a noble family in the shogunate, but this ancientness and prestige basically have nothing to do with the Kanto Continent. We can't talk about how the Kira family was in Kanto during the Kuomintang disturbance more than 200 years ago. As the saying goes, people can change people's development in just a few decades, let alone as long as 200 years. There is no impact on what the outcome will be. The Hojo clan has always endured the humiliation and carried forward the throne. Shangguan was able to lead the country, and the Takeda family still refused to let go despite the tremendous pressure from the Kira family, as well as Yuou's gang of newly surrendered retainers. The territories that Kaga had just conquered were not as stable as imagined. If they had not gone through several years of ups and downs to make these Chinese lords recognize the facts, they would not be able to live with the Kira family wholeheartedly. For example, at the Zhengdan court meeting not long ago, the lords of the country and envoys from several countries gathered together. It was really lively, but in fact, there were always many lords who found various reasons and did not come to attend the meeting. They were willing to go to Kasugayama Castle to receive the reward. Those are the new generations who are closer to the Kira family, and there are those stubborn guys who don't care about the small favors and still maintain a semi-independent state. "There is no way to look coldly on such people. It is impossible to win the support of everyone at once, but everyone will always have subjective love and hate. Kirara Yoshitoki is not the Yongle money that everyone loves, so it is impossible for everyone to like and be satisfied. It is normal not to receive support from some Chinese people. If Kira Yoshitsune led his army to fight in Echizen, he would first have to face Kaga Ichimumu, who signed a no-war agreement. If he wanted to cross this threshold, he would have to betray his trust and kill him. However, the reputation of the Kira family would be greatly affected. The situation was serious, and he had previously teamed up with Yixiang Zong to betray the Asakura family. Perhaps he had thousands of reasons to defend himself. But just a few days later, he had to break the treaty and betray the Ichibuki clan in order to defeat the Asakura family. This would inadvertently offend Asakura Yoshikage and Honganji Xianru. This would reduce the reputation of the famous Minamoto family to the Ashikaga family. The Takeda family has been insulted, and the situation will be extremely detrimental to Kira Yoshitoki. They are enemies from Kaga to Echizen, Omi, half of the mountain castle, Settsu and Izumi. How long will he finish fighting? Even if he could successfully defeat Kaga Ichikamune and the Asakura family with his powerful martial arts, and make the Echizen people cry and scream, the consequences of taking shortcuts would make subsequent attacks extremely difficult. Kinai's public opinion sensitivity and thinking The habit of mysophobia is completely unparalleled by Tookoku. Public opinion in Kinai may not care about the news of Kira Yoshiki's massacre of Echichu and Kaga Ichimuzu, but they will definitely not let Kira Yoshishi massacre all the way to Echizen, and then to Omi, Yamashiro and Settsu and Izumi. By then, maybe the shogunate will jump out and reprimand Kira Yoshitoki for his selfishness and cruelty, and withdraw the letter given to Kira Yoshitoki.Without power, he will suddenly fall from the peak of the clouds, which is below one person and above ten thousand people. The loss will be even twice the huge disaster caused by the loss of the three counties of Omi. The consequences are simply unimaginable. But if we try another method, the attack will become very slow. The only way is to use the navy to attack Tsuruga Port, and then join forces with the Ichikai clan to attack the Asakura family from both sides. However, the Asakura family has Miyoshi Asai as an ally. It's true that the young ones have been beaten and the old ones are here. If the Asai family is attacked again, Asai Nagamasa's uncle Saito Yoshiryu may be attracted. At that time, it will turn into a chaos in Kinai with multiple parties fighting, and Kira Yoshi will be the instigator of all these events, losing a huge reputation and influence in Kinai. This will have a negative impact on the positive image he has worked so hard to cultivate in Kinai. The negative impact will also change the personal relationships in Kyoto. Perhaps the Biwa House and the monopoly controlling Yodogawa and Lake Biwa may be questioned. In short, the route of violent violence cannot be chosen, and the route of slow intervention is not good either. Just as he once judged, Kinei is now a huge swamp and quagmire. If you don't have enough strength and luck to get involved easily, it will be very difficult. It's hard to pull it out, and Kanto is also a very troublesome quagmire. He can only choose one of the two quagmires. The latter is more in line with his interests of stabilizing the rear and consolidating his position, so when he calms down, he must stop making impulsive choices. "When masters and craftsmen go to Kyoto, they have to establish more communication with the imperial court. With the name of master craftsman Sado Mamoru and nearly twenty years of cultural influence. I guess there should be no problem in participating in activities in Kyoto as a cultural person. Luozhong happens to be more than enough." We can work hard on some of our old relationships, and we need to exert more influence on the shogunate. In particular, we need to keep in touch with His Highness Odate Zaemon Monso Harumitsu, and the deacon of the political office, Settsu Chufu Daisuke Harumon, is also a close relative of me. A high-ranking samurai family." Tokiyuki Yamamoto smiled and shook his head. He didn't care about these explanations of diplomatic matters. He knew that his apprentice was looking for a few words to explain. These contacts had long been practiced in Sakamoto. It would be difficult for a one-eyed lame old man to go to Kyoto to sing arty Japanese songs. People in Kyoto might laugh at him and no one in Ashikaga's family could use a crippled old man to fool people. Wei Wei said a few polite words and then changed the topic back to the main topic: "The old minister is more concerned about the strategy that should be used in Sakamoto. The alliance between these three families is unbreakable in a short time based on the in-law relationship. So what should the old minister do in Omi? What about a targeted strategy? " "Yes! What strategy should we use?" Ji Liangyi frowned and thought hard. In the next half month, the small meetings of Kasugayama Castle were almost constantly interrupted. When Kiragi was still worried about the Kinai incident, Takeda Nobushige led a delegation of more than 20 samurai to Kasugayama Castle to ask for an audience. This could be regarded as an old acquaintance of Kira Yoshi when he was a member of the army, and he was also Takeda Shingen's most powerful right-hand man. His arrival immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Kira family. Takeda Nobushige didn¡¯t make too many polite remarks, and went straight to the point and made a request to reach a no-war agreement with the Kira family. Kira Yoshitoki was not too surprised by this request. Ever since the Takeda family was defeated in the Battle of Kawanakajima a few years ago and returned to Kai, the Takeda family has always gritted its teeth and refused to bow its head. In fact, Kira Yoshitoki has long been opposed to it. Minami-Shinano was tired of the endless tug-of-war. In the past, the Takeda family was still a meaty bone with a delicious taste, but as Shinano swallowed most of it, it was equivalent to eating up all the meat on the bone. There was only one hard bone left, and the oil and water obtained by chewing it hard were not enough to pay for the loss. In the battle of Okayazaka and the invasion of Ina in the second half of the year, it can be seen that the rewards obtained are not directly proportional to the efforts. The Takeda family huddled all their forces together, like a hedgehog to resist the Kira family's attack. Even though the Shinano Army had a perfect combination of Yukitaka Sanada, Yoshikiyo Murakami, and Nagasaki Ogasawara, it dominated the military and morale. Given China's advantage, in the end the army would be lost and Suwa County would be unable to be defeated. At first glance, Murakami Yoshikiyo's performance in the invasion of Ina was quite good, but in fact, those who were willing to surrender surrendered to the Kira family. The remaining ones were either neutral or resolutely resisting, relying solely on the Kira family's fame and call and tactics. It is difficult to achieve better results, not to mention that the master of strategy, Yukitaka Sanada, focused his experience on fighting Takeda Nobushige. There is simply no time to mobilize the many small country lords in Minami Shinano. If he leaves Fuchashi Castle and goes to the front line of Ina County, whether Ogasawara Nagatoki can deal with Takeda Nobushige and Takeda Shingen hidden behind the scenes is still a huge problem. Yukitaka Sanada Without daring to act rashly and without more external support from Kasugayama Castle, the deadlock in Shinano was completely unsolvable. If this consumption continues, we will fight several battles intermittently every year to fight for attrition. Sanada Yukitaka's 17,000-strong army has already killed more than 4,000 people. The Takeda garrison in Suwa and Ina counties has almost the same number and consumption. No matter how goodIf seven or eight thousand people die in two or three years, there may be a chance that the Takeda family will completely surrender and ask for peace without war. Surrender is still an impossible dream. Unless the Kira Army is willing to lead an army of 50,000 people into Kai, it will take three years and two years to kill Kai with many heads from beginning to end. Only then can it be possible to quickly subdue Effie, but this will cause great uneasiness in Suruga and Sagami. And resentment, just like Imagawa Yoshimoto's clear statement that year, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will never sit back and watch the Kingdom of Kai being breached. As long as the Three Kingdoms Alliance still exists, it will still be an unsolvable quagmire. Fortunately, at this time, the Takeda family was also a little exhausted, and took the initiative to send envoys to discuss the need to reach a peace without war. Kira Yoshiki did not want to overly manipulate the Takeda family, lest it end up being self-defeating and causing trouble. After thinking for a while, he said: " I agree with the idea of ??peace and harmony without fighting. After all, it would not be a good thing for both sides to continue to fight to the death. " Takeda Nobushige sighed and said, "I have the same idea. It is better to turn the conflict into friendship and exempt the citizens of Shinano Country. We have been plagued by wars for twenty years on this piece of land in Shinano country. So much blood has been shed and so many people have died over the years, but we have finally returned to the same point.¡± "Nobuden is indeed a kind-hearted general who loves the people! But there is a prerequisite." Takeda Nobushige secretly said that this fate was inevitable. He immediately lowered his face and said solemnly: "Please tell me!" Kira Yoshi saw Takeda Nobushige's little move, but he didn't care about his little thoughts, and said straight to the point: "I want the territory of Ina County, and Suwa County I don't intend to." But Ina County has been captured by Yu, and I believe that there will not be much left of the Takeda Army. How about simply withdrawing to Suwa County? " "This is not possible! The Takeda family doesn't have any land. It will be agreed, and the actual occupation area will be divided when the peace is reached." Takeda Nobushige firmly refused, and the Takeda family only occupied a small area, and then Kira ceded a large area. Doesn't that mean there is only one Suwa County as the only external leader? Who can guarantee that the Kira family will not greedily demand the territory of Suwa County in a few years? Kira Yoshishi chuckled: "Takeda Nomiya should be aware of Yu's strength, and Yu might as well reveal some information to Nomiya. As early as the end of last year, Yu appointed Yasuda Administrative Officer Nagahide as a general, and he will be ready for the coming of spring. The international troops will go out from Etsuchu and enter Hida to sweep away the Japanese lords who are pro-Takeda. It is expected that this task will be completed before the summer comes. At that time, they will cooperate with the military forces of Sanada Danzhengden, Murakami Habayashiden and Ogasawara Shinanoden to attack Ina County. Launch a large-scale attack, and then it will not just be a military force entrenched in Shinano to deal with the Takeda family." Hearing such a threat from Hong Guoguo. Many samurai in the Takeda family's delegation showed indignant expressions. If it hadn't been for the fact that Takeda Nobushige, as the envoy, had not yet taken action, he would have jumped up and reprimanded the Kira family for such a vicious strategy. Unfortunately, they could not wait for a long time. They did not see Takeda Nobushige make the action they expected. "What the mayor said may or may not be true No!" Takeda Nobushige's mind was racing, and he suddenly thought: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. What's important is that the Kira family has the ability to put this into practice." A joke was successfully realized, and the Takeda family has no way to resist it. It is still unknown how long Kiso Yoshimasa can hold on. By then, the surrendered Japanese troops of Hida and Ina will gather together, and it will be really difficult to hold Takato Castle. "Thinking of this, Takeda Nobushige began to hesitate again. According to his idea, he should voluntarily give up Ina County, which is far away from Kai and unfavorable to hold on, in exchange for the final conclusion of a no-war peace agreement. However, considering that his brother Takeda Shingensen before departure. Instructing Wan not to cede even a fraction of the land left him in a dilemma and unable to make a decision. Kira Yoshitoki also saw that he was indeed in trouble. Even the No. 1 clan elder of the Takeda family could not decide the ownership of the land. After all, the Kai Takeda clan no longer had much territory to squander, so he suggested: "How about just How about we discuss the matter here first? It won't be too late to start peace talks after Nomashiden makes a decision. However, Yu Xian will keep his ugly words in front of him. The army attacking Hida will not stop for a moment. If There is no point in talking about ceding Ina County until the moment when the army besieges Gaoyuan City. "I understand! I will definitely contact the lord as soon as possible to make a decision." Takeda Nobushige bowed curtly and left. After the Takeda family's group of more than 20 people gradually left, Kira Yoshitoki immediately ordered: "Keep a close eye on this group of people. Find out where they stay and who they come into contact with. Don't let them go." I am aware of any disturbances in Kasugayama Castle and create more true and false news to deceive the Takeda family. I want to make the Takeda family fall into confusion and confusion so that they can quickly negotiate this peace agreement. " "Yes!" Several ninjas hurriedly?Come out of the corner and leave quickly.
