Three Rivers Butterfly Chapter 572: Salvation for the General

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Eastern Buddhist society attaches great importance to ethics and morals. The Wu family pays relatively little attention to ethics and morals. It is not uncommon for fathers and brothers to treat each other as enemies and even fight with each other. However, as a famous Wu family and the top of the entire Wu family ecosystem, it always has to represent the face of the entire group, so  When Ashikaga Yoshitoki started fasting and chanting sutras, he received collective support from the Kanto samurai group, so hundreds of people knelt on futons and chanted sutras with sad faces.  Not only does Ashikaga Yoshitoki need a good reputation, but all the samurai families under the Kanto Shogunate want a good reputation. For this reason, Ashikaga Yoshitoki also specially ordered Yoshitoki to write several letters of appreciation at once to thank those who participated in chanting sutras to save the heroes who died in the Eiroku Great Rebellion.  The samurai, this is equivalent to a certificate issued by the Kanto General Palace, telling the world that this was indeed the case during this period.  The concept of weeping spirits was not popular in ancient Japanese society. Ashikaga Yoshitoki originally thought about whether Liu Daer would cry loudly to win people's hearts, but after careful consideration, he realized that doing so would lose the majesty of the master. Crying like a son or daughter would not only win people over, but  If it is not popular, it will make the retainers think that the image of the monarch is too ungraceful, like a useless woman, rather than a brave and serious general.  The millennium-old aristocratic tradition passed down from the Asuka Era to the present day is extremely heavy. It is no more comparable to the three-hundred-year cycle of chaos and chaos in the Central Plains dynasties. This small closed society of the island country has always maintained its original stubborn traditions. The ministers can only see smiles but never see them.  When it comes to crying, high-ranking nobles can only show their majesty without feeling sad, while the Wu family advocates the custom of keeping their expressions unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them.  "Imagine Ashikaga Yoshitoki's experience. He lost his parents at a young age and had nothing to rely on. At the age of three, he took his belongings and headed west to Rokyo.  This begins twenty years of magnificent legendary samurai history.  Ever since I was a child, I have never known what tears are.  He always maintains a wise, decisive and far-sighted attitude, guiding the Ashikaga family to overcome difficulties and obstacles, and finally achieves the hegemony of Kanto. It is difficult for the family members to understand him when he suddenly bursts into tears.  Although there was no custom of weeping in this era, there was an extreme custom of committing seppuku. For example, Xiao Liangchuan Zongchao committed seppuku in front of the tomb of Date Yuzong, Miyoshi Yixian committed seppuku and at the same time, his close attendants committed suicide collectively.  Ma Huizhong either died in battle or committed seppuku and died. There are countless examples of similar sacrificial acts for the lord. Ashikaga Yoshitoki cannot be allowed to commit seppuku and die for Ashikaga Yoshiteru. That would be unreliable.  This custom is not absolute. It depends on the personal understanding of the martyr. Generally, if the lord's general dies unexpectedly, the servant Ma Hui must die to an understandable degree. The family members of the generation will basically not die for the lord. They can choose to mourn or go further.  The ordination as a monk happened after Miyoshi Yixian's death.  His family members from generation to generation became monks one after another, and Shinohara Changfang entered Taoism Ziyun.  This is exactly the reason why Shinohara Minaga entered the path and escaped, and Ichinomiya Narosuke entered the path of fortune-telling.  It is a pity that Ashikaga Yoshitoki could neither commit seppuku nor become a monk. He was a mature monarch rather than an ordinary samurai who was emotionally driven. Ashikaga Yoshitaka was killed and not many people were sad. The death of Minamoto Minatomo did not arouse the conscience of the imperial family.  It is true that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was very kind to the Kanto Ashikaga family, but he could not abandon his family and career and pay such a high price.  At this moment, the chaos in Kyoto is unclear, and it is at a critical moment for the Kanto Ashikaga family to make a decision. As a monarch, he must not be emotional for personal friendship. The method he chose was to temporarily stay in a useful body and pray for the general for a hundred days to transcend his death.  Undead, even this is not easy.  He chants sutras during the day and discusses government affairs at night. Ashikaga Yoshitoki is the owner of more than a dozen territorial kingdoms. He has many things to care about every day. He often holds meetings from early evening until midnight before resting. It goes without saying how hard it is during this period, but it still needs to be done.  It is much easier than in previous years when the military and political powers were all in control, and everything had to be intervened in, and the life was much easier from waking up early to working late at night.  With the assistance of a professional staff team, detailed and programmed rules for his every move and movement, and even pre-designed the content of those conversations, etc., ensure that the general Ashikaga Yoshitoki will not encounter any accidents and always remain calm and steady as a mountain.  This gesture was not designed for Ashikaga Yoshitoki himself, but a valuable asset left to future generations.  It was night, with wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and the storm rolled up big waves that beat mercilessly against the solid seawall. At this moment, the lights in the side hall of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine were brightly lit.  The ministers lined up neatly and knelt in front of them. Ashikaga Yoshitoki, wearing linen clothes and a bowl with a scroll on his head, sat cross-legged on the futon with a sad expression and sighed: "It has been less than a hundred days since the death of His Majesty the Shogun. Someone is planning to cause chaos in Dewa Kingdom."  There is a commotion in the Mutsu Kingdom, and there is a serious illness like the Satomi family in Kanto that cannot be cured for a long time. It is really a headache!" Koyama Takato thought that he was worried about the war ahead, so he persuaded him: "Your Highness, don't worry, Mogami Kyozo!  The temple is stationed in Oshu to fight against bandits, and there are Oshu warriors such as Date Ky身sh身den, Ashina Shuden, Soma Tanshoden, Kasai Ky身sh身den, Osaki Ky身sh身den, Naito Bingo Warden, etc. to assist him, and he wants to come to suppress Oshu.  It's not difficult at all. Your Highness, please believe in the abilities of the samurai." Ashikaga.At this moment, he shook his head and said: "What I am worried about is not that the princes of Oshu are not doing things well, but that I am worried about the inexhaustible swarm of swarms! It should be noted that there is a limit to my tolerance, and the situation in Gyeonggi cannot be tolerated at all.  There is an urgent need to reorganize the imperial family, and these trivial matters cannot stop my progress." The old and thin Numata Mitsukane suddenly came out of the corner and said loudly: "It's true what His Highness said!  I think it is best to attack Kinai first. Taking advantage of my connections in Hokuriku, I can lead a naval force to raid Tsuruga Port and seize Wakasa Province. It happens to be integrated with the three counties of Kitaomi. At that time, I may be able to attack Asakura in one fell swoop from east to west.  Home, open up the important joint of Luo on the Hokuriku Road, and great things can be expected from this!" His statement immediately attracted the attention of many samurai. Numata Hikaru was not able to join the Yulian Banshou, and his status within the Advocates was never high!  , just because of his special status, he has been looked down upon many times. This time he made a lofty speech that attracted the attention of the retainers. The old man raised his head disapprovingly, as if to say that you young people are not as sharp as me.  The elder Yukitaka Sanada of the clan was on duty in Edo and was absent from the meeting. Instead, his legitimate son Yoshiyuki Sanada attended the meeting on his behalf. This young man was sitting behind the seat representing his father. He happened to see the old man staggering to the middle.  Please speak.  He retorted: "That's inappropriate! How can we raise troops outside when there is internal instability? If Xiao Qiang is brought to a dangerous place, and the soldiers' morale is shaken and the soldiers are defeated, won't we die without a burial place?" Another recently popular and powerful advocate, Nagano  Ye Gu followed closely and said: "It is indeed inappropriate. There are too many flaws in the naval-based tactics. Not to mention that the main force of the navy is now concentrated in Kanto. The Hokuriku Navy has not developed in the past seven years. The navy of the brigade cooperates with the North  The land operation is extremely difficult. It is extremely inappropriate to say that the logistics pressure and the strategy of focusing on the north and focusing on the south are not in the interests of Kanto. " Honda looked up at his old father-in-law, secretly thinking about the old man's jumping up and down behavior.  Shaking his head, he said slowly: "The Eight Kingdoms of Kanto are the most important places in the heart, and the key to opening up the key points in Kanto is in Kai Country, one of the Ten Kingdoms in Kanto, and the core of the Kai Takeda Clan. As long as the Kai Takeda Clan makes a slight change, the main force of Hokuriku will be  If we can't come back in a while, Kanto's most important people will be exposed to the enemy, and even if we don't die, we will be seriously injured." What you said is that your old man is talking nonsense.  But Numata Mitsukane was so crowded that some young samurai put mocking expressions on their faces.  Just scold him for being ignorant and ignorant. In recent years, Hikaru Numata has been serving as the second commander of the Hokuriku Road, so he thinks he has a plan. He runs around all day long, just to pull up a group of "Hokuriku Speedy Attack"  Fans, he is indeed "close" to success, at least he thinks so.  Another son-in-law, Kitahata Tobo, said: "There's no need to repeat the same old tunes like the Hokuriku Speedy Attack, right? The internal peace of the eight Kanto Kingdoms needs to purge Yuo and calm Kanto, strengthen the binding force and execution of the law, and then control the Tokaido.  The Takeda clan, Kai Kishu's great rival, should not have chosen Hokuriku Road from any aspect, at least not as a priority. " Numata Mitsukane remained silent, and the passage of time left deep marks on his face.  This old man, who is over seventy years old, has lost his former glory. Ashikaga Yoshitoki talked to him and suggested that he retire within the year and live in Edo Castle for the rest of his life. As for the second duty in Hokuriku, he handed it over to his son Numata Yumitsu.  Both collars.  The old man is still very unwilling. His grandson Matsuchiyo is ten years old and is very well-behaved and smart. However, he is getting further and further away from the path he expected to fight for heirs. The so-called common people fighting for heirs has completely become a laughing stock in the family. If it were not for the concern about the Numata family  Sons-in-law are all extremely capable, and someone will definitely criticize Numata Hikaru in front of him for being shameless and not knowing how to advance or retreat.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki didn't intend to embarrass his old father-in-law. He only had three living father-in-laws in total. Nagao Torahime's father, Nagao Mikake, had died many years ago, and Oda Inu and Oda City's father, Oda Nobuhide, had died fifteen years ago.  , Ii Naotora's father Ii Naomori died in the Battle of Okehama, these were all dead.  Of the three living father-in-laws, Mogami Yoshihime's father Mogami Yoshimori is half-dead living in seclusion in Yamagata Castle. Mochizuki Yoshino's father Mochizuki Yoshitomi is still guarding the family business in Koka. Only Numata Sandalwood's old father lives in Ashikaga Yoshino.  Under Shi's nose, there is a group of powerful sons-in-law who are helping the central government, and even if they do things unethically, they still have to give them some face.  "How can you achieve great things by looking forward and looking back?" Ashikaga Yoshitoki gently stroked the two carefully trimmed beards at the corners of his mouth, and said calmly: "The Kai Takeda clan is only as sick as scabies, and there is no need to panic about the chaos in Mutsu. A few small actions will let you wait.  If we are faced with a formidable enemy, we will be at a loss when sending troops to Luo in the future. This is not possible!" The retainers on the Imperial Guard paused to listen to the instructions, but many people still murmured in their hearts that the Fifteen Kingdoms from Guanbei, Lu Yuao and other places were returning.  It is under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Shogunate. It seems to be a vast territory with quite a lot of territory. It spans almost half of Honshu Island from east to west. Such a large territoryIt is not enough to have tens of thousands of soldiers guarding various places, especially those newly attached areas. According to the traditional view, it will take at least one to two generations and decades of hard work and power to gradually build local trust and influence.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki reprimanded: "I know that what you are thinking and worrying about is nothing more than the undecided hearts of the new people in the country and the need to recuperate and build up prestige. Even if you think about it, you still can't cover the gains and losses of the time and place.  Overemphasis on people's trust and hope but forgetting about the peace of mind of the Eastern Kingdom is an irreversible trend. Even if it continues in recent years, what will it do to the stability of Guandong? Can the people's hearts be restored?  , no wonder there has been a surge of rebellion in various places in the past few years. At first, people from several counties started to rebel at the same time, and they were suppressed, beheaded and exiled. Then they were reduced to one county to rebel, and then they were suppressed and started to rebel again, and even one county could not control it.  The stubborn villages were marked one by one through repeated sieges. In the end, the army raided and captured these villages collectively.  All were sent to Sado Island to wear armor as slaves.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki firmly believes in one thing.  Suppression of Yikui can only be established through a combination of killing and sex.  The childish idea of ??teaching them to be fearful and virtuous is simply talking to a duck and playing the harp to a cow. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the unborn Amerika carried out bloody massacres of Indians. They believed that only dead Indians were good.  Indian.  This article also applies to the Kanto General Mansion. Anyone who gathers a crowd to make a fuss will be killed as a rule, and anyone who is rebellious will be exiled as a rule. No mercy can be given to the elderly, weak, women and children. The criminals must pay the price for their recklessness. War  Always bloody and ruthless.  Only naive people would try to teach aliens who are enemies of life and death.  Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced around, but no one dared to raise his head to look at him, and then he slowly said: "Some remnants of the landless ronin were unwilling to fail, and gathered various Shougan masters from all over the country to rebel. This was against the remaining orders of Togoku Sono.  Orders, but those who violate it will not be forgiven, no matter how close they are or how low they are. If they rebel once, they will be killed. If they rebel, they will be killed again. If they rebel in any place, they will be killed. Just kill all the rebellious people and then transfer immigrants from Kanto. There will be no more.  "I feel bad. What are you worried about?"  Seeking self-reliance, they formed gangs and gathered in the mountains and forests to do the evil deeds of bandits and bandits. Some of them colluded with the local people and became a powerful force. When traveling, they crowded in front and behind in a grand manner, which was comparable to the edicts of the shogunate.  Those who refuse to obey were called evil party members in the Kamakura period. How could the tradition of this evil party be worthy of my respect? What surprised me even more was that you had to do things against these evil parties over and over again!  Are you giving in because you are worried that they will become too powerful under the shogunate to control themselves, or are they colluding with you and others? " Ashikaga Yoshitoki's few words made the national lords cry out in cold sweat, even though the Kamakura shogunate established the samurai family as the ruler?  The system gradually dismantled the serf manor system that was popular during the Heian period, and the consequent formation of the Socun Autonomous Federation was in the ascendant. There are still a large number of remnants of the serf manor system in various places, especially in areas far away from Gyeonggi.  The master of the village official, like a local emperor, spent money to buy a privilege of protection from the court or a large temple in Kyoto, and still dominated the people of the village. Even if the Kanto General Office repeatedly issued orders to abolish the manor system and the privileges of the master,  However, these people broke into pieces and sneaked into each village, and still exercised strong control over the village.  Each famous family is a powerful local servant, with dozens of strong men, armors, and horses. They can easily control two to three hundred rebels of land through various means. They can still rely on force to coerce farmers into being reduced to serfs to cultivate the land for them.  Being driven by them, one can even obtain the right of first night for peasant women and the privilege of buying and selling people at will.  These people are a headache because they have penetrated into the grassroots units of the Kanto Army and become minions in the major armies or ashigaru-gumi and bandou at the grassroots level, or they have become mounted samurai waiting to be dispatched in Edo Castle.  In the past few years, there have been many places where there has been a fire that is always burning and the spring breeze blows. It has a lot to do with the presence of traitors among these grassroots warriors.  Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned and said: "In the past few years, various states have encountered obstacles to the prosecution many times. Many villages have not hesitated to gather crowds to resolutely resist the prosecution. They mobilized a large army to suppress and only caught three or five leaders on the stage. The people hidden behind the scenes  People always go unpunished, and social ills cause endless headaches! " Matsui Yukan reflected: "In order to investigate the local resistance to the law, we also asked Mochizuki An Yun to participate as a coordinator, but there were many local forces involved.  The intertwined relationships are extremely troublesome, and we are also worried that one incident will affect our predecessors, so we have repeatedly tolerated it, but we did not think that it would lead to the hidden danger of chaos. It is really our mistake. "  Enter one by oneAfter conducting an introspection, he broke down the harm caused by local forces and made a clear analysis. Ashikaga Yoshitoki's brows furrowed more and more. He hit the tatami with a folding fan and said: "You know very well about these villains, but you can  He kept pretending not to let it go which made me feel very surprised and chilled!" The ministers bowed their heads in panic and said: "We dare not deceive His Highness, but" Ashikaga Yoshihi interrupted with a wave of his hand and said seriously: "  There is no need to say more at this point. From now on, those involved in the prosecution and specific handling of the case will be held accountable one by one. All the samurai involved will be arrested regardless of their status. I want to see which daring people dare to cause trouble in Kanto and take advantage of them.  Yu＊s orders are nothing more than child＊s play!§ After the meeting, the imperial prosecutors soon issued corresponding punishments. The prosecutor in charge was suspended for self-examination.  Dozens of people began to clean up military discipline within each legion. Samurai involved in sensitive areas were handed over to Monomichi Hattori Masakiyoshi for individual interrogation.  At the same time, a secret order was issued to the chief generals of each town corps, ordering them to carry out a wave of military suppression in the sensitive areas of Yikui. With the cooperation of internal lines, they would capture hundreds of hidden commanders of Yikui, which would greatly suppress the arrogance of the resistance forces in various places and control the situation.  Lianpanzhong immediately followed up and conducted a new round of land inspections in the Ikui area. They used administrative decrees to forcibly dismantle the original village system, and replaced them with highly loyal farmers from Ueno and Shinano Provinces.  Break the original dominance relationship of the manor system.  The Ichiku rebellion on the Hosu Peninsula was put down by Nobusada Obata and Yoshiyuki Sanada. Navy Admiral Kuuki Takamochi provided corresponding support. Later, Yoshimitsu Mogami was ordered to serve as the general, and Terumune Date served as the vanguard to lead the Mutsu garrison.  The army went to various places to quell the rebellion, focusing on the remnants of the Anton and Nanfang families.  Throughout the summer, Ashikaga Yoshitoki stayed in Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and turned a blind eye to the wars in Kanto and Mutsu. The Kanto samurai clearly felt that the Kanto government was brewing, and perhaps it would cause a storm one day in the future.  .  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
