The 45,000-strong army outside the Furukawa Imperial Palace faced off against the 30,000 elite troops of Kira Yoshiki for half a month. On the surface, it seemed that neither side had the intention to make the first move, just like two masters always staring at each other before a competition. Use the eye-killing technique to test each other's weakness. Only when the fight starts can you tell whether they are a fool or a strongman. This is pretty much what it means to be evenly matched. It does not mean that the strengths of both sides are really as balanced as the situation appears. War is not a numbers game and it does not mean whoever has more troops is invincible. War is a bloody collision between violent groups on both sides and is mixed with many conspiracies. , which is a great test of the general's judgment and military management skills. If this confrontation continues, it has actually declared the failure of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Yoshiaki Satake left Furukawa Imperial Palace worriedly. He had long discovered that Lord Furukawa was useless and did not have any of the qualities that a good samurai should have. What made him even more surprised was the genealogy of Lord Furukawa's family. The public did not have any intention of admonishing Ashikaga Fujimasa's words and deeds, but adopted an unsettling attitude of silence, as if a group of transparent people were watching this farce with cold eyes. In my impression, the family members of the Furukawa family have always been the most united and loyal group. His father, Satake Yoshiaki, used them many times to teach the young Yoshiaki Satake that he should use the family members of the Furukawa family as his example. The goal is to strive to build the Satake retainers group into a united and loyal samurai group. But when he saw that the family members of Lord Furukawa were unmoved, he felt somewhat disappointed and lost. His father was so envious that the goal he had worked for for more than ten years collapsed. If he hadn't already He is no longer the ignorant young man he was when he was a teenager. I am afraid that I will have distrust and doubt about my father's words and the judgment of the warriors on the street. Satake Yoshiaki convened a group of retainers to hold a secret evaluation meeting, and said with worry in his heart: "Although the inheritance rights of the Furukawa family are good, we must also consider how risky it is to fight against the Kira family! Judging from the current situation, it is not very optimistic. "My family's decision this time seems not very wise!" "Furukawa is just a" Wada Aki resisted the urge to curse the word "Shuzi" and hurriedly changed his words to "a samurai with strange behavior", In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was what most of the Satakepo Daishou also wanted to say. It was actually the unreliability of the public that made many samurai feel resentful and dissatisfied. Perhaps this gathering of the alliance is not a big deal for Ashikaga Fujimasa. He had seen similar formations with tens of thousands of troops gathered during the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion and the Hojo family's conquest of Kanto several times, so he felt a little pampered and slack. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. After all, confrontation is a good situation. In this era, there are not many samurai who can insist on confronting the Kira Army. Perhaps this can become a showpiece for Ashikaga Fujimasa to talk about at a tea party in the future. But I never thought that this gathering would be so different from the past. Without inheriting the adopted son, the introduction hidden in the hearts of all samurai, how could so many people from the Kanto country gather to Furukawa Imperial Palace to watch him hold tea parties and banquets again and again, and listen to At the banquet, he boasted about how he was as brave as the Japanese warrior. It is not a secret that the members of the Furukawa family have been silent throughout the whole process. Anyone who is not blind can see that there are serious problems within the Furukawa family. In this way, I can still calm down and play in Hu Tianhaihai, living a life of drunkenness and wealth every night without stopping. The expenses he spent on food and clothing were not from Furukawa's family's money, but from the hard work saved bit by bit by the people of Kanto. He was drinking the blood of the people of the country to satisfy his own desires, and maybe he would be able to return the favor. He hopes that the Kira family will take the initiative to sue for peace in exchange for a decent chance to step down. At that time, he will be able to boast that he is the number one general in Kanto better than Hojo Ujiyasu. Most of the Satake retainers had a bad feeling towards Ashikaga Fujimasaho. They still don¡¯t know that thousands of miles away in Tosa Country, there is a Kanesada Ichijo who is also such a weird character. That is definitely a good thing and not a bad thing. A genius among the best. Just as the Kanto Nations coalition quietly started to make a routine military discussion in Edo City Da Guangjian, Ji Liangyi made a military arrangement and arrangement. He appointed Yukitaka Sanada, who had been reinforced, as his deputy general to take charge of the overall situation, and Yamasa Nagano as the military commander to handle military affairs, arrange marches, formations, and various tactics. Then he appointed Ueizumi Hidetsuna, a native of Ueno, as general. He led the Ueno Seven Guns, Kobata Nobusada, Wada Yashige, and Anaka Tadanari to form a force of three thousand as the vanguard. This was the first time that Kira Yoshitoki put into a vanguard formation that was not the main force of Kira's army, and was intended to consider Ueno. The degree of militarization and combat effectiveness of the Chinese People's Army. After arranging the strategy of dispatching troops, Kira Yoshitsune summoned another samurai with a special status, that is, the current family governor of the Musashi Chiba clan, Chiba Yinzong. This man is well-dressed, aged 26 or 27, and has an extraordinary appearance and temperament. He is of a decent age at this age. It was the heyday of the samurai, but he looked miserable.Qiu Shen's adopted son detracts from the overall image. After going through a set of procedures for praying, Kira Yoshi realized that this person was a bit rigid and pedantic. When he saw Kira Yoshi, he was so nervous that he even stammered and couldn't speak clearly. He had to bow respectfully every time he listened to his speech, which really made him Some people don't like it. He may think this is a sign of respect for Kira Yoshitoki. "Uenosuke doesn't need to be too formal. Relaxing your mind can make a samurai more open-minded." Kira Yoshishi picked up a folding fan and pointed at the dense cypress outside the building, and said with a smile: "Seeing more scenery can cultivate your sentiments. As a samurai, You should not be bound by etiquette and killing, you should always have some higher pursuits, such as practicing meditation or studying tea ceremony and singing, etc. " "Thank you for your advice, I understand! I will definitely work harder when I go back!" Qianye Yinzong's serious and serious answer made him feel helpless. The Musashi Chiba clan is a family that split from the direct line of the Chiba family a hundred years ago. This family is the direct line of the Chiba family. The ancestor Chiba Chufu Daifu Yinxian was originally the Chiba clan. The younger brother of the governor of the clan, Chiba Onao, followed his elder brother, Chiba Onao, to rescue the young Ashikaga Nari clan and escape from Kamakura, and then set up the new imperial palace in Furukawa Township in their own Shimonose country. The new Gongfang can be described as a reinvention of grace. It¡¯s because the feeling of kindness and re-creation is too strong. That's why the two brothers wanted to die. The kindness was too great and if they couldn't live up to it, they would have to kill their benefactor to deny the kindness. What's more, the Ashikaga Sei clan, who has a strong desire for power, can't even tolerate Uesugi Kentada, the Kanto governor, and how can he tolerate Chiba Yinao who lends a place for him to live temporarily, so the Chiba clan is forced to join the Uesugi clan's anti-sege clan. In the alliance, the famous Xiangde Rebellion broke out. So in February of the fourth year of K¨toku (1455), without any warning, Laohara Echigo, the head of the Chiba family, suddenly launched a surprise attack on Chiba Yinnao's residence. Chiba Yinnao was caught off guard. Nao, his younger brother Chiba Yinxian, his legitimate son Chiba Jie Yinxuan, and the old Enchengji Temple Shimono Sh¨ren, who was the head of the lineage, were forced to flee. The original Yinfang was supported by the Ashikaga Sei clan. His prestige was so great that it meant he could replace him. Three months after the Kant¨ leader Uesugi Kentada was killed, the Ashikaga Sei family supported the former Infou to kill Chiba Yinao, his younger brother Chiba Yinxian, and his legitimate son Chiba Sukein. Among all the warriors, including Xuan and other direct descendants, only Chiba Yinxian's two direct sons, Xianyin and Ziyin, escaped from the tiger's mouth. Later, Yuan Yinfang was worried about these two remnants and led his army to forcibly attack Qianye Yinxian's two legitimate sons. However, his attention was attracted by Ma Jiakangyin, who was elected by the Qianye clan, and he allowed the representative to The two direct brothers escaped from the tiger's mouth again. Ma Jiakangyin, a commoner, died in battle soon. Later, Yanqiao Fuyin, the eldest son of Majiakangyin, was elected as the governor of the Chiba family. His descendants are the current Chiba family of Xiajuan. The genocide of the Chiba clan originated from the instigation of the Ashikaga Nari clan. Only the two direct descendants of the family died overnight, leaving only Chiba Yinxian's two underage sons. Although the two brothers later tried to take back the Shimo Kingdom Lost territory, but failed due to lack of strength and Koga Koga's obstruction. From the perspective of legal inheritance rights. The Musashi Chiba clan who is the direct descendant of the Chiba clan is the real direct descendant of the Chiba clan, and the Iwahashi Chiba clan, which was originally a branch of the Chiba clan and a branch of the Maga clan, did not compete for the title of family governor at all. The only thing that reversed the relationship between the two was Absolute There is a gap in strength. Musashi Chiba clan has neither strength nor influence. In Musashi country, he is a penniless and small countryman. It is a typical example of a person who has enough food and clothing but is not enterprising enough. Despite his status as the direct descendant of the Bando Hachihei clan, he has no ability to resist at all against the common people of the branch family. In a sense, it is the same as when the Satake clan forcibly gave the great Tasada country to the heir of a family governor. He was too weak to withstand the interference of real interests. At this time, the title gradually became emptiness, and the samurai began not to talk about blood inheritance. With his status, no matter how messy his background is, he can inherit a famous family. The collapse of the Warring States Period lies in this. What collapsed was not just the shogunate or a few famous families and heroes. What collapsed was the tradition of the samurai family for more than four hundred years since Genpei. What collapsed was the hard work of many generations of samurai families since the Heian period. The tradition and order of the martial arts family, and more importantly, the world's human heart. After hearing the century-old history of humiliation of the Chiba clan, Kira Yoshi sighed: "The chaos of the Warring States Period was that the samurai gradually did not understand the rules and the dignity. When a samurai no longer fears the majesty of the superiors and no longer obeys the orders of the shogunate, he It means that the curtain of chaos in the world is slowly being opened. Too many samurai today are those who are good at making ends meet. In recent years, some evil thieves have emerged who want to conquer a country from above. Many young samurai actually use this method. This shows how much the world has collapsed!" Qianye Yinzong said angrily: "There are fewer and fewer loyal and brave people, such as Yuan Yinfang, who hopes to defeat the direct line and seize the Qianye clan! There are more and more martial arts families under one banner" "Hey! Don't worry about it, Yin Zongdian.Too manylet's talk about something else. " Kira Yoshitsune cursed secretly. His attack on Furukawa's purchaser Ashikaga Fujimasa this time was precisely to seize his reputation. According to what he said, wouldn't he also have to defeat his superiors? Of course, this is probably not true. No one dares to speak out. The most depressing thing for him is that he is clearly opposed to the lower class, but he himself wants to take the path of "lower to suppress the upper class". Of course, with his current status as the Ashikaga family and the With the support of the imperial court and the shogunate, there is no so-called problem of subordinates overcoming superiors. At most, it is just a half-step to turn the "fake" Ashikaga into real Ashikaga. But the next step is that he still has to attack the Ashikaga Shogun family, which makes Kiragi. I felt very depressed and distressed at that time. Ashikaga Yoshiki was very kind to him and he had sworn to be absolutely loyal to him and his direct descendants. Even if he had ten courages, he would not dare to rebel against this person. Wouldn't that be the beginning of imitating Li Shimin? Let future generations take this as an example. The power of example is infinite. After the first low-level warrior succeeds, more and more examples will emerge and more people will be willing to follow. This trend will spread. It will cause huge damage to the stability and order of the shogunate. This is what Kiragi is most afraid of. The rigidity and dogma of Chiba Yinzong are so terrifying that even ten people are not brave enough. Inspired by this, he had never thought that he would change from playing against the top to playing against the top himself. He thought to himself: "This is very bad! How could Yu do such a rebellious thing? Wouldn't he have to completely lose his face? Yu can't set this bad example and let his reputation be seriously damaged. ¡± For Kira Yoshitoki, good credit and reputation are more important than anything else. Whether he is a hypocrite or not is not a consideration at all. Being a samurai daimyo is like being a powerful minister or politician. Innocence and naivety will only make them die. Even faster, both Minamoto Yoritomo and Ashikaga Takauji had bad behaviors of killing their younger brothers. Earlier generations of pillars either broke with their relatives or the father and son fought against each other. Such things as Giri never existed in the original samurai family. The factor of violence flowed in the blood, until after the lessons of the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate gradually formed a complete political system. Kira Yoshitoki was the member closest to the top of the system, and the way for him to rise was actually It is very narrow, it is nothing more than a few methods to achieve one's ulterior purpose. "Now that I think about what Monk Suifeng said about Sima Zhao's intentions, everyone knows, I'm afraid there is still a layer of ridicule hidden in it. Bar? "Ji Liangyishi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't even notice that his clothes were wet with sweat. He was really afraid that if the commotion continued like this, his family members would forcibly support him as a general, just like Song Taizu and Chen Qiao's mutiny. Damn it, will he be able to sleep peacefully in the future if he does this? ¡°This must not be the case! I would rather wait until that big change before making a decision! "
