    The father and son H身ga Coutata, Minagawa Toshimune and Minagawa Hiroshi, who originally supported the Sagami Hojo clan, also changed their attitudes and supported Utsunomiya Hirotsuna's sending troops. The Oyama clan of Shimono country and the Yuki Haruto brothers of Shimonosu country, as well as the Nasu family's ten  The active brothers Ohtawara Tsunakiyo, Ozeki Takamasu, and Fukuhara Shitaka also changed their camps and stood with the Kira army. Sano Masatsuna's reaction was even more rapid, and he led 500 troops to his relative Kiryu Suketsuna.  At one stop, he looked like a die-hard supporter of the Kira family.  There are still some people from the Kanto Kingdom who are a little slow to react, such as Nasu Shiin from Shimono Province, one of the Kanto Eight Houses, Chiba Yintomi from Shimosu Province, Oda Ujiji from Hitachi Province, and another powerful national from Hitachi Province.  The reaction of Edo Shigetsu was not so positive. They are all die-hard supporters of the Hojo family. It would be a bit disrespectful not to help the Hojo family when their life and death were at stake. It would be a shame to turn back the enemy and add insult to injury.  Of course, most of the time, face is just a stepping stone for them to surrender decently. Their choice is not out of loyalty to their allies, the Hojo family, but to wait until everyone decides to fight the Hojo family by slowly making a statement.  The opportunity to vote in favor is to try to avoid the possibility that the Hojo clan will settle accounts with them in the future if they survive the Kira army's invasion.  The so-called "don't put all your eggs in one basket" principle is not new. Lords, kings and even emperors from all over the world in ancient and modern times have used their own actions to interpret this truth. It's just that the ancients lacked an inductive summary and did not understand this complex concept.  political decisions into simple and concise sentences.  There is only chaos and killing in the bones of these Kanto people. The so-called loyalty and bravery have been completely washed out in the more than a hundred years of war in Kanto. The so-called brave and strong warrior genes have died one after another in the war, and those who survived are all hidden.  With the chaotic samurai gene of conspiracy, treachery, betrayal, etc., the moral integrity of these people in the Kanto country has dropped very quickly in recent years, and they can do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges without any psychological burden at all.  The people of Kanto country thought very well. It was great to enjoy the shade under this big tree while standing under Kiragi, and it was wonderful to eat meat and drink soup while fighting Hojo.  It's just that they didn't figure out Kira Yoshitoshi's temper in advance. The envoys they sent were so disgraced that they couldn't even raise their heads when they were reprimanded at Kira Yoshitoshi's main camp in Kawagoe Castle.  Kira Yoshitoki's cold eyes swept over the faces of Okamoto Zenzhe, H身ga Couture, Ozeki Takazo and others, and sneered: "Everyone in the world says that the grass on the wall in Kanto will fall on both sides when the wind blows. At first, I thought this  It is a slander against the Kanto samurai. I think of how prestigious and powerful the Kamakura samurai were three hundred years ago. All members of my Ashikaga family are members of the Kamakura shogunate. In the past, I was the right general of the seventh generation of the Gen clan.  You have made great contributions through life and death. The rebellion of Chengjiu swept the imperial court and established the world of our Wu family for hundreds of years in one fell swoop! But look at you group of Kanto warriors, who don＊t know what is right and what is right, and are like the wheat straw in the countryside!  Yesterday, I was a minister of Ashikaga and Uesugi. Today I am a minister of Hojo. Tomorrow I may have to be a retainer of the country mud-legged people and country bumpkins. Where is your loyalty? Why don't you care about the land?  If you spend your whole life holding the land, do you want to be a samurai or a martial artist, wear what kind of armor, and use what kind of sword to kill who? Your ancestors once fought for me, the Genji of Kawachi, and after their death, they became heroic spirits and were worshiped in the world. If they knew about you?  You will definitely be ashamed of your behavior if you commit such an act of ignorance of loyalty and shame! You will never want to go to Gaotianyuan, and there will be no place for you in the Paradise. You will have to pay the price for your shameful behavior after death.  Go to Hirazaka to suffer the punishment of karma! " Kira Yoshitsune's rebuke made the Kanto samurai present speechless with shame. Who would have thought that this man would accuse them of disloyalty and unrighteousness in front of their faces, just like back then.  Takeda Shingen was so scolded that he fainted, and several old samurai fainted on the spot out of shame and anger. The messy scene highlighted the desolate and uneasy scene of the Kanto samurai.  The young samurai couldn't bear the humiliation, so he pulled out his ribs and committed seppuku.  After being kicked by Takigawa Tokimasu, Shima Tokikatsu, Nagasaka Nobumasa, Watanabe Moritsuna and others, they took away their tachi ribs and cursed: "You bastards, do you think committing seppuku can atone for your sins?  Only cowards want to die. Warriors who dare not face the cruel reality are not qualified to inherit the inheritance passed down by their ancestors, let alone take on the prestige and glory given by your Miao characters. "A few young people are full of murderous intent!  The fierce and powerful people who had been fighting for many years managed to calm down the somewhat out-of-control situation, but their words could not calm down a few old foxes. Both Faga Gaouting and Ozeki Taomao were the chief advisers to the people of their respective countries.  As an outsider, Okamoto Zenzhe did not need to be tabooed. Although the envoys of several other countries were not of sufficient weight and were suppressed, it was precisely because of their lack of weight that they did not have to worry about affecting their master's family.  Fanghe Gaoding suddenly smiled and said:?※The thought-provoking remarks made by the Town Master touched our ears and eyes. We raised troops this time in response to the Town Master＊s order. If there is any offense in our words or actions, please take it for granted.  For the sake of our countrymen's vulgar behavior, I understand. " "The Lord Zhenfu loves and hates the actions of my Kanto warriors! We, the Kanto warriors, do have many things that are unsatisfactory, and some of them are historical.  Some of the reasons are our own. In short, we are very grateful to the Lord Zhenfu for his teachings. The original intention of going to Guandong this time is also to comply with the general order of the Lord Zhenfu. The reason why we are negligent is really the last resort!  There was some hesitation in repairing the doctor's palace, so" Ozeki Gaozeng did not forget to offer the slander of his master Nasu Ziyin to Kira Yoshi at the end. Such an act of disregarding the moral integrity of the family made Kira's legacy unforgettable.  Shaking his head, Honda Tokimasa said displeasedly: "What Ozeki Misakushu said is wrong. Even if he makes a mistake in repairing the temple, he is still the governor of the Nasu family. Slandering the master's family is a taboo of our samurai family.  It＊s best not to mention this in the future!§ ※Haha, what Honda taught you is§ Ozeki Takazen lowered his head in silence and apologized, taking this opportunity to express the anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes.  Press down quietly.  Although his movements were extremely clever, they could not deceive H身ga Couture who was sitting next to him. He knew very well the domineering and vicious character of Ozeki Takazo, so he looked back at the unsuspecting expressions of Kira's retainers.  It seemed that he was thinking about how to make some use of Ozeki Gaozeng's anger.  When these diplomatic envoys from various Kanto countries retreated one by one, Kira Yoshitsune said angrily: "These cunning people are evil-minded people! As expected, they fell into the hands of the Ashikaga family, but who gave it to you?"  Who had the courage to seize the territory under Yu's nose? When Yu issued the Kanto expedition order, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, but when he saw Yu defeating the Hojo army, he jumped out of the tiger's mouth and took advantage of it. How audacious!"  Holding a feather fan, he said: "Although these people from the Guandong Kingdom have ulterior motives, they should still choose the best, trust and reuse them! However, I still found something unusual in the performance just now.  His Highness K身kata had different attitudes. For example, the Satomi clan and the Chiba clan only sent a little-known retainer as an envoy. Although the Hitachi Satake clan sent Okamoto Zentetsu, a diplomat who was well-known in Kanto, this was not the case.  However, this eminent monk maintained a perfunctory attitude of being reticent from beginning to end. In contrast, the Utsunomiya clan and the Nasu clan of Shimono Country paid more attention to the sent H身ga Kosada and Ozeki Takamaso, who were also in charge of the family.  "But the attitude of these two people is very ambiguous, which is probably a difficult problem to deal with." Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was in charge of the commissioning process, accompanied the army.  He asked his brother-in-law: "What does Soufang-den mean that the people of the Kanto Kingdom didn't take His Highness K身k身's rebuke seriously at all?" "That's right! It's a completely disapproving attitude!" Honda Tokimasa was very sure.  He nodded, squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, as if he was a harmless good man, but in fact he tried his best to hide the cold light in his eyes: "I have long heard that Ozeki Misakushou is very domineering in Nasu's house, which has attracted people's attention.  The governor of the house, Nasu, was very dissatisfied, so he had the evil idea of ??abolishing the house governor, so I just deliberately used words to test Ozeki Misuke, and it turned out that Ozeki Misuke's narrow-mindedness was revealed. "Takigawa Shiyi said with a curled lips.  : "Is he the smiling tiger just now? That guy lowered his head and couldn't get up for a long time. I almost mistakenly thought that there was something wrong with his body!" "Keijiro is still so unreasonable and unforgiving!" Shima Tokikatsu shrugged with a smile.  He said: "Didn't you notice that guy deliberately concealed the anger in his eyes just now? I, Shi Sheng, saw him clenching his fists! And the eyes of the Hoga Iga guardian kept turning.  , he must be thinking about how to take advantage of this little conflict!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi suddenly coughed strangely, and said with a very sad look: "Hey! In front of the most handsome samurai of the Ashikaga family!  Be careful It is indeed a matter of seeking your own death! I, Shi Yi, can only mourn for the two of them. I wonder if His Highness will deal with these two martial arts families? " Ji Liangyishi waved his folding fan to cover up.  He held his cheeks and said with cold eyes: "There is no rush for this moment. I have never been afraid of the Chinese people who have ulterior motives. If these Guandong people want to play tricks, let them do it. I want to see if they can pull it off."  The sky has revealed it, there is always a chance to deal with them slowly! " Kira Yoshitoki's first meeting with the people of the Kanto Kingdom ended in a hurry when they were completely seen through, not to mention that several other envoys from the country were panicked and embarrassed!  After leaving, the little tricks that Faga Gaoding and Ozeki Gaozeng thought they were playing for themselves had long been seen through. Playing tricks in front of a group of conspirators was as ignorant and ridiculous as Lu Ban playing with a big ax in front of the door.  On the contrary, Okamoto Zenzhe's silent and ambiguous attitude caused??The vigilance of some retainers.  The Chinese warriors who continued to emerge from all over the Kanto region soon swelled the Chinese coalition army to more than 80,000 people. Just like the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion ten years ago or the Kagotsu Night Battle fifteen years ago, these 80,000 coalition forces  Divided into hundreds of forces, large and small, and formed into various names, the national people were like the "Lang Party" in the Genpei era. This kind of national people represented the overall strength of the Kanto samurai group.  Different eras and backgrounds are different. The powerful Ashikaga family does not need to call on the people of the Kanto Kingdom to unite and fight under his command. Of course, Kira Yoshitoki does not have the name to call them. These people of the Kanto Kingdom spontaneously formed a coalition and "responded"  His call had nothing to do with Kira Yoshitomo. They came to grab territory, food, and women, not to serve the Ashikaga family. They never said they wanted to be loyal to him.  The so-called people of the Kanto Kingdom are more like the wild people of organized mountain bandits. The "Three Lights Policy" carried out in Musashi Country is still hated by the people of Musashi and Shimonose. These cruel people are murderous.  It doesn't matter whether you are a submissive warrior or a poor person. As long as you are discovered by them, you are their property. If you dare to resist, even if you are a submissive warrior, you will be killed without mercy.  Just because of their bad behavior of plucking hair without leaving any room, how many young samurai family members were kidnapped by these brutal bandits, and how many families were broken up by their invasion, so when they gathered again to confront Hojo of the Haju Kingdom  When the leader launched an attack, he encountered strong resistance from the Hojo family.  The people of the country, including the Chiba clan, the Yuuki clan, the Hara clan, and the Takagi clan, who were already affiliated with the Kira family, also secretly provided intelligence and support with food, grass, and weapons to the rebellious people of the Shimonu clan.  If there are traitors inside, the offensive of the Kanto Allied Forces will be doomed to nothing. In addition, Ashikaga Fujimasa of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, with the help of Matsunaga Michi, successfully blackmailed Harusuke Kada and asked him to order the Kanto people to immediately stop the attack and resist the Kanto people.  The allied forces of the Chinese people have shaken the Chinese people in the neighboring countries such as Xiahui, Hitachi, and Xiaye. Most of the small country lords still very much recognize the Kanto Gongfang.  At this moment, they dared to take action against Xiahui Kingdom despite the official order.  The Satomi family of Kamui Kingdom also encountered strong resistance from the Hojo army who stayed in Kururi Castle. Kururi Castle guarded by 5,000 defenders became the first line of defense for the Hojo family to resist the counterattack of the Hosui Peninsula people.  After more than a month of storming, Kururi Castle was still unable to capture the well-prepared and well-fortified Kururi Castle. Yoshihiro Satomi tried to raid Kururi Castle through a secret passage buried in the castle. In the end, dozens of elite samurai were killed in vain before the Hojo family's Fuma ninjas were discovered.  Everyone had already thoroughly explored the inside and outside of the city.  Apart from the fact that the Hojo Army holding on to Kururi Castle was a strong backbone, the Satomi family successively took back several branch cities in the Kingdom of Kamui, and finally reversed the strategic defense posture and took advantage of the situation to bring the morale of the Satomi army back to normal levels.  The focus of the Hojo Army shifted from Musashi Province to the Odawara Castle defense network. The Hosui Peninsula across the sea once again became the support point of the Hojo family. Two thousand Hojo Army departed from Sagami Province and rushed to the Kamisui Peninsula on large and small ships of the Sagami Navy.  Once, the Satomi family, which had just started to improve, was pushed back.  It is not surprising that the intermittent weakness caused by the lack of organization and disunity among the people of Kanto Kingdom is not surprising.  If they could unite as one to fight against the Hojo family, they would not have been severely beaten and suffered heavy casualties in the night battle of Kawagoe fifteen years ago. The people of Kanto who cared about food and not about fighting ten years ago once again fell into the hands of Hojo Ujiyasu.  A counterexample that proves that where you get up, you will fall down.  Kira Yoshitoshi did not give them any support or preferential treatment, and he did not intend to let them participate in the upcoming siege of Odawara. In another time and space, Uesugi Kenshin invited the Kanto people to go out to Odawara because of insufficient troops.  As a result, his shortcomings of insufficient strength were exposed. Soon after a siege that was destined to be fruitless, the old fox Hojo Ujiyasu boldly mobilized the people of Kanto to fight against the Uesugi family, thus successfully defeating the Uesugi family.  Battles took place again and again on the land of Kanto.  During the long tug-of-war, we unknowingly entered the early summer season. The hot weather made the samurai accustomed to the cool climate of Echigo uncomfortable, and the pace of the war gradually slowed down. Fortunately, the Kira family soldiers had enough food and high morale.  Not afraid of a war of attrition.  Hojo Ujiyao in the small machine city showed some signs of being unable to hold on.  Uesugi Terutora, who had more than 50,000 troops, was not in a hurry to attack the city at any cost. The low-intensity harassment war that lasted for more than two months gradually showed a trend of day and night. In desperation, Hojo Ujiyao asked his nephew Hojo Ujimasa to  Asking for help, Odawara Castle immediately sent out 8,000 troops in an attempt to rescue Hojo Ujiyao, but was easily defeated by Uesugi Terutora with 5,000 cavalry. If it were not for the interference and obstruction of the Fuma ninjas and the Sagami navy in the Tama River, this army would have become  Kira Jun has a plate of Chinese food. ?＃ ?Kyoto in early summer is cool and cool. This war-torn ancient capital is surrounded by famous names all over the world.Thanks to aid and reconstruction, new vitality has quickly emerged. Many dilapidated monuments in Ukyo are still being repaired. You can always see displaced monks sitting cross-legged in front of the ruins and chanting sutras in the streets.  The razed temples can be rebuilt, but the trauma of war deeply rooted in the heart cannot be erased. Looking at a few young monks in shabby clothes standing beside the master in a daze, the passers-by and businessmen can only  He put his hands together and saluted respectfully to these outsiders, then lamented that the world is difficult and people's hearts are not ancient, and left in a hurry.  There are no monks in the monasteries in Kyoto who are not allowed to eat meat and wine. The three refuges and five precepts must be strictly observed without any carelessness. Some monasteries with strict rules only have a dozen monks practicing in them, and the rules are so strict that only a few  During the month, he received visits from pilgrims and only relied on growing vegetables in the temple's fields in exchange for some food.  For example, this is the case with Saihoji Temple, which was revived under the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. It is said that this temple was an ancient temple built in the Tenhei Period of the Nara Period (729 AD). It was originally the Sanmen inheritance of the Hosho Sect, but it was abandoned several times due to wars.  .  In the early Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was resurrected by the eminent monk Meng Xiaishi of the Linji Sect, who was known as the "Emperor Master of the Seven Dynasties". Although it is not as famous as the Five Mountains, it is still a rare and quiet place.  Xifang Temple is a purely spiritual temple. It only opens its doors to welcome pilgrims in spring and summer when money is tight every year, and only those who are well-informed believers or familiar believers can be admitted.  Pilgrims came to the temple rashly, fearing that they would be persuaded to come back without even thinking of approaching the mountain gate.  The rules for entering the temple are also very strict: you must enter the temple in the morning and attend the monks' morning classes.  After copying the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", you can enter the temple to pay homage to the statues of Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Have a fast meal at noon and listen to monks' sermons and answer questions in the afternoon.  Relying on the unique knowledge and wisdom to resolve the uneasiness and confusion in the hearts of believers, it is somewhat similar to the Western religious confessional.  On this day, Konoe Kenko came to the Saiho Temple with a group of attendants and maids. Her face was pale and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried. She listened to the explanations of several eminent monks in the temple without moving for a long time. Several eminent monks sighed.  He put his hands together and saluted and said: "Nv Tan Yue's complexion is dull and gloomy, and her heart is depressed. She must be suffering from a severe cold syndrome. Her eyes are red with sadness and her eyes are red. She also has a heart disease that cannot be cured. I forgive the old monk for being unable to do what Nv Tan Yue asks for!"  The attendant outside the hall took out a bag of gold and handed it to the monk Zhike. He gently knocked on the door to alert the interlocutor inside.  Konoe Kenko put on the curtain hat and returned to the posture of Gujing Wubo. After a long time, he sighed quietly: "I have heard for a long time that Xifang Temple can solve puzzles. I just broke in regardless of etiquette, but I didn't expect it.  There is nothing a senior monk can do. What a disappointment to me!" The head of Xifang Temple was an old monk with white eyebrows. He clasped his hands and said apologetically: "It is true that the old monk cannot cure this disease. We, the monks who are born in the world, can never cure it.  The lie made the prince die prematurely within a hundred days, and the symptoms were extremely dangerous and strange. There is really nothing a foreigner like the old monk can do!" Konoe Kenko nodded noncommittally and then stood up and left, waiting for the group of people to stay away!  As he was far away, he heard the white-browed old monk sighing: "Kyoto is about to fall into a dispute between right and wrong again! You quickly closed the temple gate, and the strict monks went in and out of the mountain gate. The pilgrims and believers who were scheduled to visit gave handwritten copies of the Diamond Sutra.  Let＊s apologize!§ The skinny old monk sitting next to the white-browed old monk sighed: ※His Majesty Gongfang is so unlucky! His legitimate son died mysteriously within a hundred days of his birth. There was also an unfathomable conspiracy involved.  , it is really not appropriate for outsiders like us to get involved, but how can we repay the kindness of His Highness Gongfang for taking in us homeless monks and reviving the mountain gate?" The white-browed old monk was silent for a while and said: "Only for the sake of the public?  Your Highness, please light an ever-burning lamp to wish this noble man peace and good health. "Not long after Konoe Maekyu returned to Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's legitimate son, Teruwakamaru, died mysteriously less than a hundred days after his birth. It is said that Teruwakamaru died.  At that time, his whole body was covered in terrible bruises. Konoe Kenko fainted on the spot when he learned that his legitimate son was dead. Ashikaga Yoshiteru was also stimulated and went crazy. He took out Onimaru Kunizuna and killed several maids with minor surnames.  The shogunate samurai who came after hearing the news were forced to fight back by the superb swordsman general. If not for the tacit cooperation of more than a dozen people, they would not seek merit but seek no fault, and Ashikaga Yoshiki fell into a state of madness completely relying on instinct.  He was afraid that these shogunate warriors would be killed by him one by one.  It was a big deal for the general to go crazy. The samurai who came after hearing the news surrounded Ashikaga Yoshiki. They were worried that if the general really went crazy like this, it would be really over. As Michizan Konaose anxiously urged the samurai  When he restrained His Highness the Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's legitimate daughter was so frightened that she cried out and finally brought the mad General back to his senses.  Although people have regained consciousness, how can the psychological trauma be easily erased? Ashikaga Yoshiteru is always aggressive and aggressive.Suddenly he became much weaker, like an ordinary father losing his legitimate son who he had worked hard to raise for many years. He sat in the Buddhist hall all day long and didn't know whether he was in a trance or in a daze.  The result of Michizan Nause's diagnosis was that the shogun Prince Teruwamaru was poisoned. Afterwards, the shogunate samurai inspected the Nijo Imperial Palace and found the medicine bag and some scattered tools used in the crime, and determined that the perpetrator was the shrine maiden who called herself Izumo Akun. In order to capture the criminal  The shogunate immediately blocked the seven entrances of Kyoto for a large search, but with such a huge crowd of people, how could it be possible to catch the Guoxin layman who was good at changing his voice and appearance?  The search lasted less than half a month and was forced to be suspended due to protests from all walks of life in Kyoto. Although businessmen and town residents were shocked and saddened by the mysterious murder of the Shogun Crown Prince, the normal operation of Kyoto as a commercial center cannot be delayed by the search for a long time.  , not to mention that the shogunate only had a few hundred people invested in the search. It would be a drop in the bucket to find one person in Kyoto, which has a permanent population of more than 200,000 and nearly twice the floating population.  As the shogun's imperial office, Kenko Konoe was under great pressure. Even her biological aunt, Keijuin, who had become a nun, blamed her for not taking good care of the child, but she still couldn't explain or argue.  The maid had been chopped in two by her crazed husband. The dead person could not be held accountable, so only the biological mother of the child would bear the blame of her aunt and mother-in-law.  Under such tremendous pressure, Konoe Kenko was so sick that she went to Saihoji Temple to seek medical help to find a way to save her husband from the predicament he was in. However, it was completely unreliable to rely on the abilities of these foreign monks to help her.  It was ridiculous, even if she knew the result subconsciously, she still tried it without looking back. This was the only thing she could do as the mother of a child and the wife of a general.  The news that the general had gone mad and then recovered spread throughout Kyoto in just half a day. After learning that the general had been stimulated and seriously injured, the emperor, who was living in Ouchi, was also very worried. He quickly issued an order to the Kinai monks and the monks from Nanto Kokuryu to take turns to help him.  The prince held a water and land ritual ceremony, and several priests from Kamo Shrine diagnosed and treated His Highness K身kata. It was confirmed that His Highness K身k身ta was possessed by the evil spirits in hell and that it would take ninety-nine and eighty-one days of rituals to expel the evil spirits.  For a time, the city of Kyoto was in a commotion. People were discussing how to treat His Highness Gonggata's illness. Some enlightened businessmen and intellectuals were also holding banquets day and night to discuss the adverse impact of His Highness Gonggata's illness on the revival of the shogunate.  The idle cultural people are compiling their new jokes again. It is quietly spread in Kyoto that the evil accumulated under Kyoto for thousands of years has set up Abe Seimei to destroy the seal in Kyoto, releasing Naraku, the ultimate demon king in hell.
