Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This kind of chaotic Chinese army is nothing to be afraid of. It is not easy for a group of Chinese people with ulterior motives to gather together and expect them to act together. Without the support and influence of powerful names, this group of Chinese people is a joke.  There is more than enough in the hospital, but it is slightly insufficient to expand and dominate, and it is even more wishful thinking to unite and enterprising.  After all, this is not the Northern and Southern Dynasties era two hundred years ago. Ashikaga Takauji had already obtained the status of a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi before he was defeated in Kyushu, so he retreated to Kyushu with a group of defeated soldiers and not long after, he pulled up an army of 200,000 to re-enter.  In Kyoto, the power of fame has lost its effect as the Ashikaga Shogun family continues to weaken.  What's more, the current general Ashikaga Yoshiki is based in Kyoto. In the past few years, the situation was so good that it looked like a renaissance. However, Ashikaga Fujimasa, a puppet of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, chose to launch an attack on another member of the same clan who had just obtained the imperial palace.  It's so funny, not to mention that he, an idiot, has no right to be fair.  This farce was already doomed to have no good outcome before it even started. Yoshitoki Kira ignored Ashikaga Fujimasa's angry shouts for the time being, and instead mobilized 5,000 troops from the garrison in Niigata Town, Shimotsu.  Taking advantage of the short period of time before it started to snow, he quickly launched severe punishment actions against the people of several countries in Dewa Country.  These five thousand troops were led by Naito Masashige and Irobe Katsunaga respectively, who were stationed in Dewa Province. They were responsible for punishing Tendo Yorisada, Nonzawa Mitsushige, and Daihoji Yoshizo who was dissatisfied with the reduction of the seal. They joined the Kira garrison of Dewa Province, plus  The army of the people of Dewa Province surrounded Shimizu Castle with 13,000 troops. Mogami Yoshimitsu led another 3,000 troops to attack Tendou, Nozawa and their accomplices Shiratori and Kangae. The overall situation was very serious for Kira's army.  favorable.  Date Terumune wanted to break into Dewa Country several times to launch an attack on his great enemy Yoshimitsu Mogami, but he was severely stopped by his father Date Harumune. For the Date family, the face of the family governor was more important.  Maintaining hegemony is more important.  The inheritance of the Date family's family business is the most important. The face of the family governor is not as important as maintaining hegemony, but less important than the inheritance of the family business. When the former and the latter conflict, face is secondary.  When he first received the alliance invitation from Ashikaga Fujimasa, Date Harumune was opposed to it, but he, a reclusive former family governor, would not be more authoritative than Date Terumune, the current family governor, because he chose to be in his prime.  When the family governor was passed down to his legitimate son who was only a teenager, Date Harumune could not significantly interfere or even obstruct his legitimate son's political judgment just because of his different ideas.  ¡°That would trigger a new round of confrontation between the family governors.  Just like the astronomical chaos back then, this was almost the reason.  Because of his adopted son, Date Harumune had a serious disagreement with Date Harumune, the family governor's heir. Then Date Harumune, the old family governor, was ousted by his son Date Harumune and was forced to live in seclusion. As the initiator of the Tianwen Rebellion, he knew very well that the two generations  The consequences of the opposition between the house governor and the governor.  Date Harumune knew very well that Ashikaga Fujimasa was unreliable, but his words were useless and he did not dare to use them.  He did not choose to obstruct the old greetings of the Genedai family, but expressed his attitude reasonably and then shut up. In the future, the foundation of the Date family will need to be protected by Date Terumi, and it will be easier for him to practice it a few times.  growth.  Now Ashikaga Fujimasa has been proven to be a fool, and the so-called anti-Echigo alliance he initiated has also become a laughing stock. Now the Kira Army has chosen to launch a major attack on the rebels in Dewa Country before the heavy snowfall. At this time, the Date family is  It is not convenient to step in rashly. It is still a problem how to get back at this critical moment when the heavy snow is approaching.  Secondly, he was worried that if he angered Kiragi by attacking the Supreme Leader like this, he would make the Date family his primary target after the coming spring.  Whether it is an army of 10,000 or 20,000 that rushes into and out of Yuguo to attack Yonezawa, it will be a disaster.  The Date family's current physical strength is absolutely unable to withstand the Kira family's army attack. This can be judged from the last battle for Nakayama Castle.  If rushing into the top leader at this moment is the stupidest choice, it would be equivalent to the Date family blocking the gun for Ashikaga Fujimasa, the instigator, and using the Date family's destruction in exchange for slowing down the Kira family's expansion. What do you think?  It's a meaningless and very stupid choice.  Therefore, Date Harumune did not hesitate to call his impulsive son to reprimand him. Date Terumune was thoroughly scolded to wake him up before he warned him not to be impulsive.  The Date family's failure to take the bait meant that the rebels in Dewa Kingdom lost their most powerful support. Under the siege of tens of thousands of troops and Mogami Yoshimitsu's plan, they only slightly provoked the relationship between the Daihoji clan's retainers, and used  The different voices within the Taihoji retainers group against the rebellion easily prompted the lord of Tozenji Temple to join forces with several family elders to suddenly attack and imprison Tosa Rin Chando, the old man of Touzuku, the author of the book, and then strangled Yoshimori and his son Manmon of Daihoji Temple and opened the city in person.  surrender.  Kira Yoshitoki was very happy to accept this person who knew current affairs, and immediately promised to hand over all the inheritance of Daihoji Yoshimasu after his death to the chief of Tozenji Temple, and then pretended to beThe party's release of Tosa Hayashi Zentou and other former officials of the Dabaoji clan actually secretly encouraged them to avenge their master's family. As a result, Tozenji Yoshinaga, the lord of Qingshui City, fell to the ground before his throne was warmed, and was chopped down by the dead men of the Dabaoji clan.  He cut off his head and committed seppuku to die for his late lord.  Just a few days after this back and forth, the prestigious Dabaoji clan disappeared. After this blow, Tosabayashi Chandong was disheartened and chose to escape to Mount Haguro to become a mountain monk in the wild without caring about worldly affairs.  The members of the clan and the clan's retainers were all dead and crippled, and they no longer had the strength to resist the purge of Kira's army, and the Qingshui Territory fell into the hands of Yoshitoki Kira.  Perhaps the drama of the genocide of the Daihoji clan was so scary that the people of the originally noisy Dewa country suddenly became as honest and obedient as chickens. Those people who cheered for Ashikaga Fujimasa and shouted "The Kira family get out of Dewa country"  All the people ceased their activities, and for a few short days, the entire Dewa Kingdom was quiet as if there were no samurai.  Seeing that the situation was not going well, Tendo Yorisada and Nobuzawa Mitsushige were very single. They did not give the several armies a chance to join forces and attack for encirclement and suppression. They simply opened the city gate and surrendered in a posture of asking for forgiveness. This behavior has been around for a long time.  The last time I performed in front of Yoshitoki Kira, Yoshitoki Kira was quite moved at that time, and he immediately gave Anzu the permission and appreciated their surrender.  Less than two years had passed before and after this, and Tendo Yorisada and Nouzawa Mitsushige seemed to be planning to repeat their same tactics to obtain forgiveness. Unfortunately, Kira Yoshitoki, who felt that he had been deceived, had already made up his mind and decided to abolish the two families.  As a result, the two family governors and seven groups of their respective nephews were directly captured and forcibly transported to Kasugayama Castle.  In fact, he was sent to Sado Island to work as a miner halfway through. There was no hope of leaving that island in this life. The territories of the Tendo clan and the Nobuzawa clan naturally fell into the hands of Kira Yoshitoki.  As for the other six Mogami Hachimon families, Shiratori, Hanhejiang, and several temples that were already involved in supporting the rebels were all punished with reduced fiefdoms. The reduced fiefdoms of these families were all placed under the direct control of Mogami Yoshimitsu.  It took Mogami Yoshimitsu a deep understanding of what it meant to be punished, and then he stared at the people of the country whose seals had been reduced.  It's a bit like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.  There was no time to deal with Onodera Kagedo, the lord of the three counties of Xianbei.  Dewa Country ushered in the first heavy snow in late autumn. When the heavy snow fell, it basically announced that the war for that year was over. Naito Masashige and Irobe Katsunaga led their troops to withdraw to the defense area and garrisoned, and the rhythm of the march completely stopped.  This made the people of Deyu breathe a sigh of relief.  There is no longer a need to clenched your fists and give a strong blow to the rebels of Dewa Country. An additional five thousand troops are enough to deal with these dishonest people of Dewa Country. These five thousand people are from Echigo locals who are more tolerant of the bitter cold in Shimotsu. In the future,  They will be left in Dewa Country as a guard for a long time. With these five thousand reinforcements, they can basically stabilize. It was during the autumn harvest assessment meeting that the agricultural income and expenditure of the year were routinely taken into account.  The latest news from Kinai is long overdue.  A big wave of chaos broke out in Kinai, the intensity of which was completely beyond Kira Yoshitoki's expectation.  The first was the high-profile joint announcement between Yoshikage Asakura and Nagamasa Asai in April.  We will set up checkpoints on the main transportation route between Tsuruga Port and Sakamoto Town and charge heavy taxes. This means forcing Sakamoto Town into a dead end.  Of course, Yamamoto Tokiyuki could not allow them to be so unscrupulous, so he teamed up with Nakajo Tokihide to quickly seize Tango Maizuru Port, find another outlet on the west side of Wakasa Bay, and pose as if you want to force Sakamoto Town to death.  It's a dead end.  You won't be able to collect a cent of business tax and will offend the Kira family to death.  Asakura Yoshikage and Asai Nagamasa didn't seem to care about this threat at all. In their eyes, the Kira family had no influence on the internal affairs of their county. Soon, Asakura County, Ixiang County, and the Asakura family in Omi State  Several customs offices were quickly set up in Tsuruga County to collect taxes. One customs office in each county collected a tax of 10% of the total value of goods from the business travelers passing through this place. The three counties needed to collect the tax three times, and the trade was allowed to trade without any reason.  The process increases costs by 30%.  What's even more outrageous is that Asakura Yoshikage actually ordered Tsuruga County Governor Asakura Kageki to levy high cargo handling fees for ships berthed in Tsuruga Port. Instead of levying a head tax, he levied 50 to 10% based on the value of the goods.  Waiting for the transportation fee, this is just pretending to be a local bully who just wants to have fun and get out. Asakura Yoshikage also contacted Wakasa to protect Takeda Yoshinomi, and Tango protected Isshiki Yoshimichi in an attempt to attack the Kira army in Maizuru Port.  Launch a pursuit and attempt to use this method to implement countermeasures against the Kira family's infiltration.  Takeda Yoshitomi immediately launched a relevant crusade motion, and was jointly opposed by his younger brother Takeda Nobukata, who held the real power in the family, as well as important ministers Awaya Katsuhisa and Isumi Masakune at the evaluation meeting. Among them, Isumi Masakune reacted the most fiercely.  He even turned his back on the spot to express his strong dissatisfaction. Takeda Yoshino didn't dare to make too much of a fuss if it didn't work. Thinking about it, this was justThe conflict between the Kura family and the Kira family is not related to their relationship with the Wakasa Takeda family, so we will not talk about it.  Isshiki Yoshimichi didn't care about Asakura Yoshikage at all. A few years ago, this guy, together with Takeda Yoshitš­, attacked the Tango Isshiki family's territory, and today he came to him again to rebel against the Kira family. It was obvious that he wanted to use him as a gunman, and  On the contrary, the Kira family sent Numata Mitsukane to contact Isshiki Yoshitoshi early and told him that a lot of the tax revenue from Maizuru Port would be returned to the Isshiki family. They only garrisoned the port and controlled it as an entry and exit port for trade with Kyoto.  This is very important news for the Isshiki family. Although the Tango Isshiki clan, one of the four original shogunate officials, has been strong for more than a hundred years, this clan has basically withdrawn from the shogunate since Isshiki Yoshiki was killed by the evil Gosho Ashikaga Yoshitsune.  Among the important ministers, he was subordinate to the Western Army during the Yingren Rebellion and was sanctioned. His family business has long since declined.  Tango Kingdom is the only country that can barely hold on to its family. It is no longer the powerful samurai family with high prestige in the past. Tango Kingdom has a sparse population and barren land. The only thing it can rely on is the tax revenue from a few ports and castle towns. If these are excluded  He is really just a poor local warrior.  The three thousand invading troops of the Kira family suddenly captured Maizuru Port, which revealed that the Isshiki clan had a powerful military force that was completely irresistible, and the entire Isshiki family only had three thousand troops.  Faced with such a powerful opponent, Isshiki Yoshimichi was even prepared to fight to the death to regain Maizuru Port. However, the envoy Numata Mitsukane sent by the Kira family at this time was very good at alleviating the confrontational mood of the Isshiki family and returning Isshiki.  The family's fiscal and tax revenue will not drive away the original port administration, but only the garrison and security rights of Maizuru Port will be enough.  Then Kira Yoshitoshi wrote him a personal letter telling him that he had no intention of getting involved in Tango Kingdom. These three thousand defenders could serve as the defenders of Maizuru Port to guard the east gate for Tango. From now on, the Isshiki clan only needs to manage the territory carefully.  That's it, Isshiki Yomichi repeatedly weighed Kira Yoshi's request.  Although it was too much to embarrass him, the house governor.  But he knew very well that this was the fate of the small country's daimyo.  A few years ago, he was still aggrieved by the invasion of the Asakura family, and in the past few years, he was annoyed by the tyranny of the Miyoshi family. He secretly cursed the chaos in the world for allowing these lowly samurai to ride on the head of his family, but now he encountered  He came to a family of the same clan whose family was even higher than his.  Isshiki Yoshitsune has no intention of continuing the fight.  Kira Yoshitoki also mentioned in the letter that he could provide some conveniences to Maizuru Port, such as providing discounted prices for the reconstruction and reconstruction of Abeyama Castle, the residence of the Isshiki clan, which also included the reconstruction and renovation of Abeyama Castle Castle Town, and Tango Street.  The expansion and organization can provide corresponding help, and this can also be applied to the reconstruction of Maizuruko Town.  In addition, Isshiki was willing to use flax, aquatic products, honey and agricultural products as deductions for the corresponding construction costs, but this made Isshiki Yomichi very satisfied, and then he planned to cooperate with the Kira family. You must know that Tango  It is a very small territory that lacks land and is not rich in mineral resources. It only has these few specialties that are not very valuable.  The Isshiki family's luxurious life in Tango was supported by tax revenue from the trade route to Kyoto.  Starting from the Heian Era.  Tango has always been valued by the imperial court as the northern window of Kyoto. It has convenient transportation advantages and a comfortable environment, making it one of the places favored by ministers. Therefore, Tango's business activities are relatively developed, and people from Sanin in the Western Kingdom  Some business travelers would land at Maizuru Port to go to Beijing, and finance and taxation were the only main income that Tango Guardian could use.  If Isshiki Yoshitsune refuses without understanding current affairs, he may not be able to get Maizuru Port and lose these preferential treatment. Then he will really get nothing.  Compared to Asakura Yoshikage, who only joined forces verbally without delivering any real benefits, Yoshikage Kira from Echigo cooperated sincerely, which made Isshiki Yoshitsune feel that being from the same clan was more reliable, so he didn't think much about it.  Recognizing the fact that the Kira Army controlled Maizuru Port, he signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Kira family, including the construction of the previously mentioned Abuyama Castle and Castle Town, the construction of Tango Street and Maizuru Port.  This package agreement is expected to require a construction period of five to seven years, and will require an investment of more than 100,000 Kanbun Yongle for renovation. The reconstructed eastern area of ??Tango will become another important seaport for Kyoto, which will greatly enhance the economic vitality of Tango.  As well as business exchanges, the Isshiki clan's family economy will also improve greatly, and Isshiki Yomichi, the guardian of Tango Kingdom, will be more comfortable than before.  Moreover, because both Kenkobuyama Castle and Maizuru Port are the private property of the Isshiki clan, the debts that the Isshiki clan needs to bear are also a series of astronomical figures. A clause was added to the agreement that if the Isshiki clan is unable to pay off the debts when the agreement is completed, Maizuru Port will be automatically transferred to the Isshiki clan.  It is transferred to the Kira family as collateral to offset the debt. If the converted debt is still not enough to compensate, the territory will need to discount it.  It can be determined that Isshiki Yoshimichi was unable to repay this huge debt until the moment of his death, or that he simply could notI never thought about repaying this huge debt, I just thought about enjoying the comfortable life for five or seven years and the generous dividends brought by the Kira family's huge investment. Who knows what will happen in five or seven years, maybe the world will be more chaotic, maybe Kira  The family reunion has disappeared, and perhaps the world is peaceful and Yoshidao has come to Beijing to serve as an important minister.  Even if we do not consider this unreliable possibility, it is not the so-called monk who rings the clock one day. It is also conceivable that in five or seven years, the Kira family will be able to hug this thigh. The so-called big tree that is easy to enjoy the shade may be a tree that can  The big tree that is leaning up, as for the problem of Maizuru Port, is not important at all, there is always a price to pay for hugging the thigh.  This can be understood as a way for the Kira family to use money to buy Tango. A strong army is a tachi that kills Yingye, and a strong economic strength is a soft knife that kills people without blood. This can be easily avoided by using such a set of business methods.  In order to seize the port and cause serious conflicts, use money to open a path to buy a peaceful transition method that the local indigenous warriors are willing to accept.
