"My sons, follow my flag and charge!" Yoshihide Miyoshi took the lead and rushed to the front of the queue. At this moment, his eyes were firm and fearless. At this moment, he was as powerful as a rainbow and moved forward indomitably. The horsemen were infected by the momentum of the governor and agreed to the promise. Following closely, dozens of knights on horseback bravely faced the fierce sword light. "Let you have a taste of early marriage!" Ukyo, the official of the Genlai Zhongfang, sneered, and immediately ordered: "Aim at the enemy general in front and fire!" The monk soldiers in the front row raised the iron cannon and sprayed out golden flames and soared. The white smoke of gunpowder erupted. Miyoshi Yoshihide seemed not to have expected that the reloading speed of the iron artillery team would be so fast. He watched in shock as a lead bullet penetrated the armor, penetrated into his chest and came out from behind. The huge pain made him lose it on the spot. Balance fell heavily from the galloping horse. Xiao Xing, who was guarding him on the left and right, hurriedly got off his horse and helped him up. Seeing his miserable condition, everyone put away their weapons and chanted the Buddha's name silently. Miyoshi Yixian covered his chest with Yin Hong's blood and knew that he was about to die soon, so he pushed Xiao Xing away and sang his death song: " The frost and snow stained by the withered grass dissipated in the morning light, and the fate of my fate cannot escape the retribution of karma. " Repeated this three times, the aftertaste lingered for a long time, so he drew his sword and committed suicide with tears in his eyes, and all the servants of the younger surname that Miyoshi Yixian loved. Kneeling beside the Lord, he committed seppuku and died. Miyoshi Yoshihide's horsemen only died in this round of volleys, with only about thirty people left. After the Lord committed seppuku, some chose to dismount and commit suicide, while others took the initiative to rush into the naginata. The monk soldiers were hacked to death by random swords in the formation. More than a thousand birds on Beibuki Mountain seemed to be moved by his grief. They circled around the top of the mountain and screamed, making everyone who saw and heard sigh with regret. A generation of famous generals fell. Hatakeyama Takamasa was so frightened that he learned that Neraizu had killed Miyoshi Yoshihide. The first thought he had was not to laugh but to run away. He was not the idiot with insufficient IQ and a pit in his head more than ten years ago. He was influenced by what he heard and saw. At least he knew how much Miyoshi Nagakei valued the younger brothers of Ichimonzu. The death of Tokawa Ichino more than ten years ago made Miyoshi Nagakei pursue Ashikaga Yoshito and fight for several years. If it weren't for Kanto K¨fang He was so capable that he was beaten to the ground. The weight of Miyoshi Yoshihide who died this time was more important than Tokawa Issun. Hatakeyama Takamasa counted on his fingers for a long time and felt that he was in danger this time. He decided to announce to the outside world that whoever caused the trouble would bear the responsibility. The dead Sanhao Yixian had nothing to do with him. He was so happy that no one could find him now. He was wrong. He didn't expect that Nelaizhong was smarter than him. At least judging from the hardware configuration, Nelaizhong's brain ran faster. Nelaizhong didn't even wait for him to make a decision after hearing the news. He informed Hatakeyama Takamasa to kill Miyoshi. Xian also announced that he was a mercenary and was following the orders of his employer. Now after the battle, he went back to Genlai Temple to rest. Then everyone in Hanoi said that the general had a bad stomach and was in a bad mood, so he went back to rest for a while. Youzuo Xinjiao remembered that his father's death anniversary was coming soon and he wanted to go home to pay homage to his late father. Regardless of the fact that the anniversary of his father's death was not this month at all, Anmi clan was caught a step too late by Hatakeyama Takamasa. He had to think of a way to fight against the Miyoshi family whether life or death. The two unlucky ghosts huddled in Takaya Castle for several months. Stay behind closed doors. A few months later, in early February of the seventh year of Yonglu, the angry Miyoshi Changqing surrounded Gaowa Castle with an army of 50,000 and vowed to kill him. He immediately announced the recruitment of 50,000 troops from the Miyoshi Corps and Miyoshi Changqing's main formation, totaling six Ten thousand people, the generals under their command are Miyoshi Yoshihiro, Azaya Toyasu, Miyoshi Choitsu, Miyoshi Yasunaga, Miyoshi Masayasu, Matsunagahide, Naito Munekatsu and the young governor of the Tokawa family, Tokawa Deho. Hatakeyama Takamasa pondered for a long time and felt that this was the end of it for him anyway. He might as well break things off and fight with the Miyoshi family without doing anything else, so he hid in Takaya Castle and played with him in the book of wild geese, while at the same time he spent all his wealth to raise an army. It has the potential to fight against Miyoshi's army. Most people play Kogandenshu for flirting between lovers. Hatakeyama Takamasa's Kogandenshu is of a higher standard. He wrote to Miyoshi Nagakei and cursed him all winter long. This is really impressive. As expected of Hatakeyama Takamasa, he was extremely brave. He can be provoked but cannot be resisted, and his clumsy words are no match for Miyoshi Nagakei's sharp words. After a few letters and a few exchanges of calculations over the air, Hatakeyama Takamasa cursed him to death, Hatakeyama Takamasami said. He didn't do this, but Miyoshi Changqing regarded it as "shirking responsibility" to fool himself, and he became more and more determined that this guy must be completely eliminated. Rabbits bite people when they are anxious. Hatakeyama Takamasa is even more powerful than rabbits when he is anxious. With the special military budget of 50,000 kanmon sent by Yamamoto Tokiyuki in time, he went around recruiting troops, not to mention that this second-rate governor really has two brushes, that's all The situation still allowed him to raise an army of 40,000 from the Kingdom of Hanoi, Yamato, and Kii, including the Genlaizhong who ran away and threw pots into his trap and the mercenary Zagazhong who had always been a member of the Xiangzong clan. There are actually more than 4,000 iron cannons in this 40,000-strong army. On average, every ten people hold one. This is an exaggeration. The rate is outstanding. It scares the Sanhao family to death if they have money and nowhere to spend it. In fact, the Sanhao family has no shortage at all. Iron cannons. I started playing with iron cannons more than ten years ago. I was once equipped with two thousand iron cannons and frightened many Kinai samurai. Now iron cannons are?'s holdings did not increase much, and Miyoshi Nagakei did not intend to use iron cannons to play against the Hatakeyama Army. The two sides went out to confront Kyokoji Temple in February. They spent the whole three months in confrontation and scolding without doing anything. With the support of Zahezhong who were experienced in scolding, Hatakeyama Takamasa suddenly felt that his strength had doubled and he didn't have to be afraid of arrogance. The three good things lasted forever, so I continued to provoke me to seek death. If I didn't accept it, I came to teach Xingsi to kill me. Whoever is a coward is not a hero. Although Hatakeyama Takamasa seemed to be taking the initiative by jumping up and down, in fact, in this battle, Miyoshi Nagakei came to seek revenge. The Hatakeyama army passively responded to the battle instead of actively seeking it. Miyoshi Nagakei patiently looked for the best opportunity to launch an attack. , the Hatakeyama Army launched an attack at the accumulation limit of its initial excitement period into a long period of exhaustion in early May. Miyoshi Nagakei chose to fight at night very wisely, and he did it just in time for the rainy season in May. On a dark rainy night, he sent out troops at the second watch and the third watch. Each ashigaru had to carry a few lunch boxes as temporary supplies. Before dawn, Miyoshi Masayasu's troops launched an attack on the Hatakeyama Army's vanguard outside Kyokoji Temple, where the Kii people were stationed, such as Shumi, Tamaki, Nonagase and other places. Fortunately, reinforcements from Yasumi Sobosu's troops arrived and the battle was short-lived. , both sides made the decision to retreat temporarily. At dawn, the troops of Miyoshi Nagaitsu, Ikeda Nagamasa, Itami Chiyuki, and Matsuyama Shinsuke were outflanking along the side of Iimori Mountain. The Yukawa Army of Yukawa Naomitsu and the Zaigazu of Dohashi Taneheki took the initiative to attack. Then the two sides continued to invest reinforcements to support the fierce battle on the front line. Anzai Toyasu, Miyoshi Yasunaga, and Miyoshi Morimasa faced off against the people of Yamato and the Tsutsui clan, and the people of the Sanuki Kingdom of the Tokawa Preservation Bureau fought against the people of Kawachi. , Kahizhuang Zhengji, Enji personally succeeded. The battle lasted from midnight to the afternoon. The Hatakeyama army was tired and hungry, and had to fight left and right to resist the fierce attack of the Miyoshi army. The unlucky weather kept changing, with light rain, cloudy days, and violent winds and showers. The samurai arrived in Ashigaru and were soaked in water. They were afraid of rain and humid weather and did not take out their iron cannons at all. It was only at this moment that the Hatakeyama Army realized that they were in trouble. The Miyoshi family had deliberately been fighting for three months to wait for the best time in the rainy season. Miyoshi Nagakei had already planned to launch an attack when it was raining heavily. Today is the day after all. It doesn't matter if it's tomorrow or tomorrow, as long as it's a rainy night, it's the best time for the Miyoshi Army to dispatch. The rain has made the Hatakeyama Army's four thousand iron cannons useless, and they have lost a major weapon that they can rely on. The command purely based on morale and fighting spirit is still perennial. The three good armies with coordinated operations have an advantage. The Miyoshi family continued to increase their troops and insisted on carrying out the refueling tactics to the end. The remnants of former Miyoshi Yoshihide under Shinohara Nagafusa and under Matsunaga Hide entered the battlefield, and some of the Yamato people under Miyoshi Yoshihide's command entered the battlefield. Miyoshi Yoshihide's Settsu people Everyone went to the battlefield, and all Hatakeyama Takamasa could send was the Horiuchi Tora Division. How could the fight continue if the reinforcements were three against one? The Hatakeyama Army asked for reinforcements, but at this time, Hatakeyama Takamasa didn't even have a bird feather. He didn't dare to send the two thousand banners and was reluctant to send them. He didn't dare to move the ten thousand troops led by Miyoshi Nagakei. , he didn¡¯t know that he had no way out, and Miyoshi Nagakei had a lot of time to spare. He stubbornly believed that either the generals would not move and whoever moved first would be giving in. So the Nelaizhong and the Zahezhong began to retreat, and the Kii people¡¯s general Yukawa Naomitsu seeks death, the Kii clan collapses, the Kawachi clan collapses, and the Hatakeyama army collapses. General Hatakeyama Takamasa fled in embarrassment, taking the 2,000 troops he was reluctant to invest and the Anmi clan's headquarters into Kii country. Miyoshi Nagakei had no intention of controlling the direction of his retreat and sent a unit to recapture Takaya. The castle turned around and attacked Yamato. The first unlucky thing was Tsutsui Junkei. Juichi Enmori, Katazuna Harunori, and Furuichi Yinei were led by the violent Miyoshi army and were burned. Then they launched an attack on the people of Yamato near Mount Bodhiji Temple, Yada Temple, Taira Gundani, and Ikoma Mountain. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of Yamato Kingdom was covered by the Miyoshi family's military front. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rokkaku Yoshiharu quickly sent an envoy to express his absolute There were no other intentions, and Miyoshi Chokei seemed to have no intention of attacking Omi, so the two sides concluded a no-war peace agreement. Hatakeyama Takamasa, who retreated to Kii, was unwilling to fail and once again gathered the severely damaged Kii Kuni Neraishou and Zagazu, as well as the 20,000 monks and soldiers of Yamato K¨fukuji Temple, to launch an attack on the Izumi Kunigan Wada Castle, which was under the control of the Miyoshi family. Miyoshi Nagakei's attitude highlighted the sequelae of greatly reduced ambition. He did not decide to fight to the death at all. He only ordered his legitimate son Miyoshi Yoshihiro to lead the army to expel him. At the same time, he sent Miyoshi Yasunaga to negotiate with Hatakeyama Takamasa. The siege of Kishiwada Castle lasted for more than half a year, and finally Hatakeyama Takamasa retreated after regaining part of the territorial control of the Kawachi Kingdom. Miyoshi Nagakei watched helplessly as the enemy who killed his brother retreated triumphantly. These years of fierce fighting made him realize the importance of the Hatakeyama family. How difficult it is to deal with the Kagoya Governor, and he also brings with him the even more difficult Kii Senbing Group. Neraiji Temple, Honganji Temple, Kongobuji Temple, and Kumano Sanzan are all troublesome and difficult forces. Miyoshi Nagakei has no trouble at all. Intend. Losing the good relationship between justice and virtue?The short-term impact of the Miyoshi family is not great. At least from the battle of Kyoheji Temple, it seems that the Miyoshi family's combat power has not lost half a point. Instead, they took this opportunity to call on the army with the same enemy to drive away and defeat the difficult Hatakeyama Takamasa, and the Kawachi Kingdom also As a result, it completely fell into the hands of the Miyoshi family, and most of the people of Yamato were captured. Only the Tsutsui clan and the remnant party affiliated with Kofukuji Temple still persisted, and their existence will basically not affect the control of the army. In the long run, the Miyoshi family still lost more than they gained. The death of Miyoshi Yoshihide meant that the Miyoshi family's dominance in Shikoku's home base was greatly reduced. Awa Kingdom and Sanuki Kingdom successively lost their rulers. Miyoshi Nagakei was determined to control the city. Placing it in the Kinai further strengthens the centrifugal force between the Shikoku native land and the Miyoshi family in the Kinai. This centrifugal force directly acts on the Miyoshi family. The former Awa Kingdom was succeeded by Miyoshi Nagaharu, the eldest son of Miyoshi Yoshihide, and the Sanuki Kingdom was replaced by Tokawa Deho, the second son of Miyoshi Yoshihide. This seemed to be to compensate for the bad impact of Miyoshi Yoshihide's death, but this After all, the two children have lived in Awa country all year round. They are not familiar with Miyoshi Changqing's uncle, nor can they say that they are close to him or have any affection for him. The decrease in centripetal force is only one aspect. As long as it is handled properly, there is no need to worry too much. More importantly, Miyoshi Changqing's mood has been greatly affected. Losing the younger brother he relied on most is equivalent to losing an arm. He also feels that the Miyoshi family has expanded to this extent. That's right, he didn't intend to provoke the Kanto Ashikaga family of Omi Province. The Rokkaku family's talent for running away was something that even the generals couldn't handle. He had no intention of playing hide-and-seek with them in the mountains of Koka County. It didn't matter whether he wanted to expand in the future or not. It is enough to leave everything to his son Miyoshi Yixing to determine the destiny. Gradually, Miyoshi Changqing was immersed in the practice of art and culture. The territory in Kinei was entrusted to a family by Miyoshi Changqing, and the family handle was controlled by the generation family, Lao Song Jiongxiu. Just like the Sui Yang Emperor who lived in seclusion in Jiangdu, he indulged himself every day. In the song party and tea party, he lived a free and unrestrained life, where he talked and laughed, had scholars and scholars, and no white men. He also had a close relationship with Dalin Zongtao, the eminent monk of Daitoku Temple, and specifically persuaded him to go to Sakai Town to establish Ryuheiyama Nanzong Temple as the Bodhi Temple of Miyoshi's family in Kinai. Miyoshi Nagakei would dismount his horse and walk in in advance every time he went to Nanzong Temple to show his kindness. Respected, he often said to his family members: "My heart is not afraid of millions of troops, I am only afraid of Zongtao's shout." It's not that Sanhao Changqing has a funny head, but that Dalin Zongtao is an eminent monk with extraordinary ambitions. He engaged in drinking, eating meat, marrying a wife and having children. His surname was Fujiwara, who was the heir of a minister of Kyoto. He became a monk at Tenryuji Temple and took the Buddhist name Weishun Jutao. Later, he disliked the unhealthy customs of the Kinai Five Mountains and moved to Daitokuji Temple to worship under the sect of Kotake Sogen and practice Zen. He is famous all over the world for his literary talent, Zen teachings and tea ceremony. When his teacher Gu Yue Zonggen gave him the title, he said in a verse: "The good atmosphere is lush and green, thousands of branches are blooming, the colors are intertwined with each other in spring, the phoenix perches high on the green parasol, and the birds are afraid of the power and lower their nests in the trees." Dalin Zongtao also once wrote his own poem. Praise said: "With the bamboo grate in hand, I fight against the fake and the genuine. I mention Xi Lai as a single biography, but I don't establish the written language. I call it the orthodoxy of the Southern Sect. It is no longer dusty. Sometimes I scold Lin Jide Mountain and broadcast Daji, and sometimes I call Sakyamuni slavishly. Maitreya, for the living master, ah haha, even though I am old and have nothing to do, I am deaf and say, planting pine trees and loving myself in the cold years, peaches and plums are not fake in spring. " Such an interesting monk is the only spiritual sustenance of Sanhao Changqing. It can make him temporarily forget the profound impact of his younger brother's death. If he continues on this path, Miyoshi Nagakei may become another legend in Sakai Town. Unfortunately, things don't work out as he wishes. Just when Miyoshi Nagakei thinks that his merits are complete, He struck a blow. In August of the eighth year of Eiroku, Miyoshi Yoshihiro suddenly fell ill in Akutagawa Mountain Castle, but he passed away on July 8th. He had just turned twenty-four when he died. The Miyoshi family suddenly lost a war-hardened family governor. The heir has also lost the most important stable core in the Miyoshi family system. The much-anticipated heir to the family governor has died, and the Miyoshi family still has no idea how to proceed. After learning that his legitimate son died suddenly, Miyoshi Changqing suffered a nervous breakdown. He couldn't tell whether his legitimate son died of jaundice or was assassinated by a retainer. His whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. He spent the decadent months unconsciously. For a time, I gave up on myself and developed a strong sense of world-weariness. At the same time, I began to suspect that someone was obstructing Miyoshi Yoshihiro's death. Under the strong advice of the Miyoshi family members and Matsunagahide, the grief-stricken Changqing adopted Tokawa Icun's legitimate son Tokawa Chongcun as his heir, and changed his name to Miyoshi Yoshicun and then to Miyoshi Yoshitsugi. This move It also aroused the dissatisfaction of the two brothers Miyoshi Nagaharu and Tokawa Demho who guarded their hometown in Shikoku. Let the second son of Miyoshi Yoshiken inherit the Tokawa family, and let the eldest son of Tokawa Icun inherit the Miyoshi family. This is a mentally ill move no matter how you look at it, not to mention that Tokawa Icun died so early, regardless of his prestige when he was alive. How could Mihaoshi Yixian's two sons be convinced if their abilities were even inferior to those of Mihaoshi Yixian. Miyoshi Changqing was confused. He huddled in the castle tower in a daze all day long. The sudden death of his legitimate son who had worked hard to raise him for twenty years completely destroyed his faith. His collapsed will destroyed the wisdom he was proud of in the past. The wholeThe ninth year of Lu Lu was a huge tragedy for Sanhao Changqing. At the end of this year, another tragedy occurred. Miyoshi Nagakei, who was in a state of mental disorder, listened to Matsunagahide's slander and mistakenly believed that his younger brother Anzhai Fuyangyasu had intended to commit rebellion. At the end of the year, he used a normal summons as a pretext to enter Shoryuji Castle and kill him. The reason turned out to be a ridiculous "against the will." , when An Zhai Dongkang's head was presented to him, the unconscious Miyoshi Changqing suddenly had a violent reaction. He knew the owner of this head, a very important person he was very familiar with. Looking at the familiar head evoked scattered memories, which were the oaths made by the four brothers of Miyoshi thirty years ago when they swore to kill Miyoshi Zongsan. He remembered himself, Miyoshi Yixian, Shihe Icun, and the man in front of him. What was his name? Can not remember. Miyoshi Changqing anxiously pulled his hair and painfully recalled his name. It wasn't until Xiao Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, asked whether to collect the body of Anzhai Fuyang that he suddenly remembered that the dead samurai was his biological brother. Not only did he remember his I also remembered that Shihe Icun had been dead for many years, Miyoshi Yoshihide left him a few years ago, his legitimate son Miyoshi Yoshihide also left him, and the head he was holding in his hand left him just now . "Ah! Icun, Yixian, and Sunjiro have already leftwill even Dongkang abandon me? My final day of longevity is coming!" (To be continued.)
