The school inside the outer palace of the Edo Imperial Palace was in orderly order. Dozens of students of various sizes were sitting and reciting articles meticulously. The oldest among them was eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old. These children were from the Ashikaga family. Several brothers and a group of their friends were also included. The internal school and companion reading system are very interesting. A teacher comes to give lectures to the students every day. It is somewhat similar to the elementary school system of the royal family in ancient China. Ashikaga Yoshitoki took great pains to educate his son. The family elder not only arranged for several As an assistant to a child, I still have to take time out of my busy schedule to teach them. "Don't wait for Master Tianhai of Nanguangfang to arrive in Sunlight Mountain!" The students in the school paused for a while, hurriedly packed up their books and sat down. After a while, I saw a handsome young monk walking in with a faint smile. This monk was very young and had a very kind smile. There was no smell of fireworks at all, but none of the dozens of students in the school dared to do so. Underestimate him, because he has the right to evaluate the year-end evaluation. Without one outstanding child, these children will not know how many times they will be beaten, and it may even affect their future. Nankobo Tenkai is Ryuokeji Suifeng. The monk who made a big splash in front of Ashikaga Yoshitoki has grown into a famous monk. In fact, he is only thirty-two years old this year. Two years ago, he served as the head priest of Nikkosan Rinnoji Temple, a famous temple of the Tendai sect. , but in fact, he was stationed in Edo Castle all year round and participated in the political affairs. With his strong grasp of politics and far-sighted opinions, he was quickly promoted by Ashikaga Yoshitoki. In just a few years, he rose to a high position. Yu Dapu was an important minister of the family. In the public opinion of Guandong. The Edo Imperial Palace is called the Kanto Shogunate, and the Ashikaga Yoshitoki is naturally called the Kanto Shogunate or the Kanto Imperial Palace. The deputy shogun of the shogunate and other honorific titles, while Nan Guangbo Tenkai is called the prime minister in black, which shows that Nan Guangbo Tenkai's influence in Kanto is very important. The so-called prime minister does not refer to ministers. The prime minister here refers to the four counselors in the imperial court. The conditions for counselors to be classified as officials are from the fourth to the top. Literally, it means participating in political affairs and court discussions. The Chinese name is prime minister, The status of Xianggong, pacifying affairs and admonishing officials is equivalent to that of participating in political affairs in the Song Dynasty. The so-called black robe refers to the robes worn by monks. The name means that he is a counselor among the monks. As a senior staff officer of Ashikaga Yoshitoki, Nankobo Tenkai was very busy as a member of the Edo left-behind army during the military expedition to Mutsu. It was not easy to find time to answer questions for the children in his busy schedule, so he did not It is not the responsibility of teaching students the basics of literacy, hyphenation, words, words and sentences. The intellectuals of the shogunate will do those minor details. His mission is to gradually guide students to form a correct outlook on life and values ??through his rich knowledge and experience. He gave the students the impression of being both majestic and kind. Every time he told stories about scenery as far away as the Ming Dynasty and as close as Kinei, people were always fascinated and unconsciously indulged in it, and each story had a profound meaning. During this time, he was lecturing on "The Story of Baoyuan". In order for the children, who are like a blank piece of paper, to understand the system of samurai society from the bottom up, the formation process of the samurai group must be analyzed step by step. From the initial Eastern Expedition of Emperor Enjin to the middle of the Heian period, it focuses on the process from the rise of the samurai family to the Genpei era. It took nearly a year intermittently from King Suiki to the death of Minamoto Yoshie. Courses like this require an hour of lectures every morning. After finishing the course, students are required to make a summary so that they can freely express their views on historical events. As long as you don't plagiarize and make mistakes, you won't be punished, in Nanguangfang Tianhai's opinion. The top priority in educating these children is to let them form a basic sense of integrity as soon as possible. As the legitimate son of the Ashikaga family in Kanto, Ashikaga Jinohmaru has been favored by thousands of people since he was born. He is indeed a smart and sensitive son of heaven. But smart people always have a little pride in their hearts. At a young age, Ashikaga Jinohamaru The same was true for Ou Maru. When he found that many of his friends were afraid of talking to Nanguangfang Tianhai, he decided to test how much this great monk was capable of. Taking the initiative to catch up with the kind but not easy to get close to the great monk, he asked for special guidance. Nanguangfang Tianhai was surprised and said: "The warriors who assist the young hall are the best group of people in the entire Eastern Kingdom. I believe that with the talents of your highnesses, I can definitely answer the young master's questions. I wonder if there is anything else that needs special guidance from the poor monk?" Ashikaga Shinohmaru seemed to have expected this question, and said without pause with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant. I admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty very much. I heard that there is a very powerful school in the Ming Dynasty called Zhu Zixue, and I would like to ask Master Tianhai for advice." "I see" Nanguangfang Tianhai nodded thoughtfully: "Shaodian probably knows. Don't you, His Highness, dislike Zhu Xi's teachings?" Ashikaga Shinohmaru curled his lips and said, "Father, you want me to read historical materials to understand my own thoughts and practice archery.To strengthen my body, I hope to learn more and become a wise and brave warrior like my father. " Nankobo Tenkai did not blindly reject the young man's proposal, but thought for a while and said solemnly: "Although this theory is good, it is not suitable for the Japanese system. Zhu Xixue has been frequently shelved since it was introduced to Japan in the early Kamakura period. The reason is that articles that are not adapted to the local environment and cannot be used in the world must be discarded no matter how reasonable they are. Young Master should know that the laws and customs of our shogunate are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty. We warriors shoulder the arduous mission of revitalizing the martial arts name. The generals of the Wu family who conquered barbarians are the actual supreme rulers in the world, but many of Zhu Zixue's views are inconsistent with our samurai shogunate's. Deviation, this is why His Highness K身k身ta dislikes Zhu Xi Xue" Seeing Ashikaga Jinoumaru's disapproval, Nankobo Tenkai shook his head and laughed and said: "The most important thing is that Zhu Xi Xue is very difficult to learn, and it is out of touch with the customs and habits of my martial arts family and I dare to speak proficiently. There are only a few of them. There are no Confucian scholars in Guandong to teach Shaodian to study Zhu Xi's studies. Presumably His Highness Gongfang will not allow such people to stay. Please think carefully It is getting late, so the poor monk resigned first. " Seeing the great monk leave as soon as he said so, the proud Ashikaga Jinohmaru turned his head and said with disdain: "What's the matter! He's just a monk with a weird temper. " After Ashikaga Jinohmaru turned around and left, Nankobo Tenkai turned back to look at the young figure, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that it is necessary to adjust the training courses of the young master. § The afternoon course is about Kyoto culture taught by Imagawa clan. The course of this art master is very popular because he can teach "The Tale of Genji" and "Pillow". These two books are very famous in medieval Japan, and there may not be many The samurai family is willing to read books like "The Story of H身gen" that are full of bloody killings, but few people don't like to read classics that are full of peace and luxury. Listening to the various gossips and anecdotes between the former high-ranking Imperial family and the Fujiwara family. Scenes of bizarre stories will make people feel very exciting. Children who follow the rules are more eager for an exciting life. Of course, Imagawa is not stupid enough to talk about inappropriate intrigues or various affairs between men and women. However, this class still ended on time, and the children didn*t notice that the time passed so quickly. ※It*s getting late, let*s stop here today! "Imagawa really packed up his teaching tools and left slowly, thinking about something delicious to eat at night. Looking at his relaxed and comfortable look, he really didn't look like a governor of the Imagawa family who had lost his country and lost his family. He came to Jiangxi. Hucheng has already become accustomed to everything here in the past four years. Just like Liu Chan said to Sima Zhao, "I don't want to miss Shu here." In five years, too many people and things have changed, and the unlucky Imagawa family is just one of them. During the Ene attack launched by Takeda Shingen in the sixth year of Eiroku, most of the people of the Ene country defected to the Takeda family, forcing the lord of Kakegawa Castle, Asahina Taitomo, to face a huge crisis, and the walls surrounding Kakegawa Castle were destroyed. Most of the city could not hold on and Kaicheng surrendered. A small number of people held on until the last moment and all the people died in the battle. When I looked back, I found that not even a single minister of the Yuanjiang Kingdom could be found. , had no choice but to take the Imagawa clan and escape from the sad place of Yuanjiang Country. Four years passed in the blink of an eye, from the initial ambitious attempt to regain power to the decadent inaction after the rejection. Accepting the facts in front of him and being contented with himself, a bizarre story of the famous samurai family's broken jars was staged. The Imagawa clan walked leisurely through the lush woods, thinking that there was a wife and children on the other side of the woods. As he came back to eat, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Prosperity like clouds is ultimately a dream. Maybe this kind of life is more suitable for me. "Some people are dead when they are alive, and they are still alive after some people are dead. The seemingly contradictory words are just right when applied to a declining famous family like the Imagawa clan. The Imagawa clan is indeed still alive, but they live without direction. It is better to die, slightly better than the walking dead, as banished to the mortal world, without any dignity. The era of the Imagawa clan has gradually gone away. The Toe Kingdom was swallowed up by Takeda Shingen without leaving a single bone, and the Mikawa Kingdom became The arena of battle between the two major forces of Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga. Nishio Yoshitsugu, who occupies Saijo Castle, is close to the Oda family, and Arakawa Yoshihiro, who controls Tojo Castle, is close to the Takeda family. These two people represent the ideologies of East and West Mikawa, and they are in conflict with each other. As a result, Matsudaira Ieyasu, who once ruled the entire Mikawa Kingdom and entered and exited the Enji Kingdom, was in chaos like the Northern Ise Sengoku. In the seventh year of Eiroku, he returned to his homeland and stationed in Oka as the leader of the Mikawa flag appointed by the Oda family. Sakijo helped the Oda family to advance into the Mikawa Kingdom, and used the connections the Matsudaira family had accumulated over the years in the Mikawa Kingdom to mobilize the people in Nakata County, and gradually eliminate the influence exerted by Takeda Shingen in the Mikawa Kingdom. This is not the biggest change. ?In the past few years, the Tokaido Road has been turbulent and has the meaning of achieving a moment of prestige. Today's Tokaido Road has long changed. The Owari idiot who was looked down upon by the world in the past has risen rapidly at an alarming rate. During the Ashikaga Gishi period, he was proud of Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine. At the moment when the new generation of Kanto K身f身 was announced, Oda Nobunaga also launched the Central Mino Campaign. Takenaka Shigeharu led the sixteen cavalry to raid Inabayama Castle, which frustrated Saito Ryuuki's already low prestige again. Oda Nobunaga saw the opportunity and sent various generals to launch a large-scale attack on Nakamino. Niwa Nagahide persuaded Kajida Zhongkaicheng surrendered, Mori Katsunari was responsible for the capture of Karasumine Castle, which had no defensive generals. Kinoshita Hideyoshi also took the opportunity to say that Unuma Castle should be surrendered, and then massively captured Sarutaki Castle and Dod身 Castle and swept through Nakamino. A series of victories dazzled Oda Nobunaga. At the beginning of the sixth year of Eiroku, Oda Nobunaga led an army into Nishi Mino and attacked Inabayama Castle. He underestimated the young Saito Ryuuki too much and paid a heavy price for it. price. The losses in the Battle of Inoguchi were almost as high as those in the Battle of Kanakou fifteen years ago, with more than 3,000 people killed and drowned. Oda Nobunaga was beaten to the point of collapse with a stick. Oda Nobunaga learned his lesson by escaping to Qingshu City. He held closed-door meetings for more than ten days to summarize his gains and losses. He gave up his ambition to conquer Mino Country in the short term and set his sights on seizing the long-term power. Yoshikawa then pressed hard to capture Inabayama Castle, thus creating a legend that Kinoshita Hideyoshi contacted Kawakawa and built Sumamata Castle together. The ancient name of the Nagara River is the Sumama River. A battle of the Sumama River broke out here during the Genpei era. General Taira Shigehira led 30,000 horsemen here. Encountering the 6,000 cavalry of the Minamoto general Shingu Juro, Minamoto no H身ke, Minamoto no H身ke's small number of soldiers could not defeat the Taira army head-on, so they planned to attack the main force of the Taira with a surprise attack. Unexpectedly, Ping Shigeheng had already expected this, and pretended to have fallen into the trap, but actually set up a pocket array for him to get into. After this battle, Minamoto Master abandoned his helmet and armor and fled in defeat. Yoritomo Minamoto's ambition to enter Kyoto was temporarily put aside to concentrate on business. In Kanto, the two Genpei families once formed a certain tacit understanding. It seemed that the two families wanted to divide Japan into east and west, and each had his own interests. It wasn't until Minamoto no Yoshinaka raised troops in the Hokuriku and defeated the Taira clan in the Battle of Kurigara Pass that the world completely changed. There was a Sumamata Castle on the Nagara River that belonged to the Saito family. Saito Ryuuki's few soldiers and generals were distraught. They wanted to defend but couldn't hold on, so they simply burned the city. Kinoshita Hideyoshi shouldered the responsibility. There was a reason why he was appointed as Sumama City's General Construction Service because of the important task of building Sumama Castle. Kinoshita Hideyoshi had served as the second-in-command of Kawami Chutoshi earlier, and the friendship between the two parties was what Oda Nobunaga valued. Kinoshita Hideyoshi lived up to Oda Nobunaga's expectations. With the help of Kawabizhong, he took advantage of the water transportation of the Nagara River to cut wood in the upper reaches of the Nagara River and secretly transported it to the vicinity of Sumama Castle at night. The transported wood gradually piled up. Increased risk of fortification. Kinoshita Hideyoshi built the city in advance to prevent long nights and nightmares. Building the city required carpenters, masons, and laborers. Kinoshita Hideyoshi did not dare to let these craftsmen work slowly and carefully, so he ordered them to be divided into two groups to build the city day and night. He also deliberately divided the 300 garrison troops entrusted to him by Oda Nobunaga into two teams. One team stood guard and shouldered the heavy burden of resisting Saito's army. The other team worked hard to build the city, so the so-called "One Night of Sumamata" "Fortune" was built in such a secretive way. In fact, it took him not one night but seven whole days and seven nights. Fortunately, the Saito family had a fierce internal conflict and did not notice Nagara Kawakami's small actions, so it gave Kinoshita Hideyoshi a chance to display his talents. The construction of Sumamata Castle meant that Oda Nobunaga established a foothold in Nishi Mino. The seventh year of Eiroku was also the second year after Takeda Shingen swallowed Etsuji. Oda Nobunaga appointed Matsudaira Ieyasu to take charge of Mikawa Province as the flag-bearer to resist the Takeda family. At that time, the three people of Mino could not withstand the military and coordinated tactics used by the Oda family, and took the initiative to surrender and serve as the leading party for the Oda family. The rebellion of the three Mino clan members happened quietly. Saito Ryuuki still believed that the three clan elders were "loyal and reliable", but he did not know that these three families quietly introduced the main force of the Oda Army into the vicinity of Inabayama Castle. When he noticed that the Oda family's papaya flag appeared outside the city, he wanted to curse but it was too late. Having learned their lesson, the Oda army set fire to the obstructive Inoguchi town. The three men from Mino deceived the Otate gate and swarmed in under the banner of "reinforcements." Seeing that the situation was over, Saito Ryuuki abandoned his home and business, taking several people with him. A confidant fled from Inabayama Castle and took refuge with the Iseichi clan in Nagashima, Ise. The Mino Saito family, which was once prosperous for three generations, perished in just twenty years. In August of the seventh year of Eiroku (1564), Oda Nobunaga moved his residence away from Owari, and built a more magnificent and powerful new city among the ruins of Inoguchi Town. On the day of the completion of the new city, Oda Nobunaga was moved from Owari to Owari. Myoshinji Temple in Kyoto invited the eminent monk Sawahiko Munen, who was responsible for teaching Oda Nobunaga, to come to congratulate him. The proud Oda Nobunaga said to Zeyan Zongen: "This city has been built for a short time and has no name. Please ask Zen Master Zongen to give this city a new name!" A man who was once called a fool in Owari could become a famous figure in the two countries of Mino and Owari. Sawahiko Soen guessed that the young man in front of him who was only thirty years old was definitely not a thing in the pool. Maybe he was That peerless talent who already made a name for himself even without singing may have ambitions to dominate the world in the future, so he suggested: "In the past, in the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, there was a sage king, King Wen of Zhou, who arose from Qishan Mountain. Only when the phoenix came to sing could he have an eight-hundred-year foundation of peace. He might as well just Let*s follow the example of King Wen of Zhou and name it Qishan.§ ※My master Zongen knows me!§ Oda Nobunaga laughed and said, ※But I believe that peace in this world is not enough. We have prosperity in the East China Sea. The prosperity of Kinnei is limited by the gap in cultural heritage, so it is very much in need of the blessing of the god of learning. A prosperous culture in the world is the best medicine for governing the world. Why not just take the name of Qufu, the place where Confucius was born, and change its name to Gifu? " Years passed, in April of the 10th year of Eiroku (1567), Oda Nobunaga had already included Ise Kingdom in his pocket. According to rumors in Edo City, it seemed that he was besieging the Kitahata family of Ise Kingdom in Okouchi Castle. Kitahata Gujie requested the shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiteru intervened in an attempt to avoid disaster. It's a pity that he underestimated Oda Nobunaga's means of breaking through the lower limit. Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the opportunity of his second son Chashenmaru to become the adopted son of Kitahata Gujiao, and instigated a rebellion in Okouchi City to seize the Ise Kingdom. The last stronghold of the Kitahata family, Kitahata Tomato and his son Kitahata Tomabusa committed seppuku and committed suicide. The Kitahata family, a famous Southern Dynasty clan that had stood in Ise for more than two hundred years, perished. The pacification of Ise Province meant that most of Tokaido fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga. As an important transportation hub connecting Kinai and Kanto, it carries the essence of connecting the two centers. Although the Imagawa family of Shunen San combination is famous Ranked at the forefront of all the great names in the world, but compared to the combination of the Three Kingdoms, the Oda family at this time can be regarded as the enlarged Imagawa family. The great fool of Owari Province in the past has become the overlord of Tokaido who plays an important role in the Three Kingdoms. It took him more than ten years to achieve the glorious achievements that several generations of the Imagawa family could not achieve. The huge success once made Oda Nobu. Inflated and self-absorbed in front of the sky, he really couldn't find a reason not to be proud. Oda Nobunaga was prosperous and full of ambition, and he had endless hopes for revenge. He stood on the castle tower of Gifu Castle and looked at the lush green mountains in the distance. The surging pride and ambition in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. He sat out and watched the turbulent storm. The troubled times of the Warring States period may best reflect his mood at the moment. In his hand was a seal written by Sawahiko Soen himself and cast by craftsmen. What was engraved on it was not the common one-word monogram, but the four characters "Tenka Bubu". This was Owari Fengyun'er's message to the world. The silent challenge he issued represented that he had high aspirations and was unwilling to be lonely. Holding the seal and thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said: "The general trend of the world is just like this. When I, Oda Nobunaga, rule the roost, the world will change in the hands of Nobunaga! I want to thank you for your help and support. But I, Nobunaga, am by no means a samurai who surrenders and is willing to be a dependent. Even if you make Dongguo the best samurai in the world, you can*t change my ambition We are destined to be rivals!§ PS: Bow and thank the book friend for the dog in pants reward! .
