    On March 12th, the spring rain continued, and the clear and shallow river of Kamo River outside Kyoto gradually rose. The idle ministers in the imperial court sighed worriedly that this year did not seem to be good.  Nayan's family returned to their home after participating in a singing performance. They sat on the bullock cart with the curtains open and looked at the rain in silence.  After a group of dozens of red-armored warriors galloped away on the street, he came back to his senses, took out his notes and wrote down: "On March 12, it rained continuously, the Kamo River rose, and I heard that stars were falling in the far west.  , the white light flashed like day, and I heard that the two right generals were raising troops in the Eastern Kingdom at the right time. At that time, everyone said that the ownership of the world could be determined" The ministers treated the chaos in Kyoto with a kind of spectatorship.  Today's emperor is only seventeen years old, and he is completely unprepared to ascend the throne. He was beguiled by his close ministers to abandon the relationship between father and son, and deposed his father, the emperor, to Ouchi. Faced with the emperor's old ministers, both civil and military officials in the dynasty,  The young emperor had no choice but to rely on Nijo Haruyo and Ashikaga Yoshiaki.  Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there had been no disturbances in the banzhong for many years. The ministers had gradually become accustomed to the situation of the shogun sitting in court and attending meetings. It was not until the incident in the banzhong that the ministers who were content with peace were awakened. It turned out that they were not in peace.  There is also the lunatic Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the even crazier Oda Nobunaga who are acting wantonly. The remaining face and dignity have been completely stripped away. One can imagine how angry the ministers are.  In the newly rebuilt Imperial Palace in Kyoto, the ministers gathered together and sat in silence without saying a word. Oda Nobunaga looked unhappy, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was angry. The two nominal presiding officers of the shogunate and the actual controllers of the shogunate were both unhappy.  He was happy and acted like you owe me a lot of money for a long time. Most of the ministers sitting below lowered their heads.  There is only one exception.  His name is Matsunaga Hide.  "Prince Kwant身 announced to the world that he was going to start an army and start a rebellion. We can't just sit idly by and let Duke Kwant身 order the Eastern Kingdom and let such a terrible force target the capital. We must come up with a way as soon as possible" Matsunaga Hide gushed.  The veteran has been speaking non-stop for a long time, and he is as energetic as a young man and does not feel tired at all.  Since the Oda family was surrendered and left to hang out in Yamato, they have been able to attack the Tsutsui family without any embarrassment and have not made many achievements. This capable official who controls the Miyoshi family is almost like an invisible man.  There was no figure around Oda Nobunaga at all, but this time it was completely different. The news from Kanto was a great opportunity for him. This man was unwilling to be alone and jumped out to express his attitude. However, many people expressed their opinions towards him.  Not very satisfied with the jump.  Shibata Katsuie disliked many samurai in this grade, who didn't know that as a new senator, he should put his tail between his legs and behave like a human being. He said angrily: "Find a way? Matsunaga Danmasa said it was easy. What can I do?"  "Methods come from people's imagination. I feel that everything has a way to work around it, but I'm afraid that His Highness the Duke and the Prime Minister's Palace won't be willing to do it." Matsunaga Hide chuckled.  Like a cunning old fox.  Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but ask: "What workaround?" "Unite the three good families to fight against the Kwantung Gongfang" "Ah! Is this the way you came up with? It's not as good as the fart I Quan Liu put out.  It really stinks!" Shibata Katsuie pinched his nose.  He slapped him around in disgust, as if he really had a stinky fart, and several young samurai who didn't know what he was doing also followed suit. After a while, he noticed that the deceived samurai lowered his head and laughed loudly, and belatedly mocked Matsunaga Hide for releasing the stinking odor.  .  Matsunaga Hide was a samurai with a slight mysophobia. He was ridiculed by these rustic Owari country people for farting indiscriminately. He almost fainted with his head thrown back. He groaned and took a few breaths and said angrily: "Youcan repair it?"  You may look down on a foreign official like me, but you cannot insult the hard work that I, Hisashi, have done. This is a clever idea that I, Hisashi, have come up with through hard thinking, and it is definitely not nonsense!§ Shibata Katsuie＊s eyes widened, and he shouted with a raised eyebrow:  "Joining your old master to crusade against the Kwantung Lord, this is called hard thinking. Is this the national thief Matsunaga who murdered the old master? I, Quan Liu, think this plan is too simple!" "The national thief must be  Old, just likejust like" Ryoyuki Sawaki smacked his lips and swallowed the three or four words of Saito Dou into his stomach. If Oda Nobunaga hadn't looked so bad, the Owari samurai present would have burst into laughter.  After laughing, Matsunaga saw this posture and simply stopped talking. It didn't matter if he tolerated their sarcasm.  "Quiet! It is forbidden to speak or behave inappropriately in the Imperial Palace!" Niwa Nagahide coughed and said: "Discussing countermeasures must be serious, and do not ridicule or laugh at the debate over ideas. Please note that this is Kyoto Castle Nijo Imperial Palace!"  Only then did the warrior of the Tian family realize that he was in the wrong place. He had just sarcastically mocked Matsunaga Hide in Owari dialect. He wondered if it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the distinguished shogun. He carefully raised his head and found that Ashikaga Yoshiaki still seemed to have a bad face.  The change of expression probably has nothing to do with me.  Pine eternal show dismissed.However, the topic he was talking about did not end there. Mitsuhide Akechi frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself: "This Matsunaga is no ordinary rude and stupid samurai. How could he make such a clumsy mistake and let Oda Nobunaga contact the man who was causing trouble in Kinei?"  It＊s impossible for the Miyoshi family Wait, it doesn＊t seem completely impossible.§ Unlike those stupid Oda samurai, Akechi Mitsuhide quickly found some clues and found something in the corner before he could figure it out.  Hashiba Hideyoshi bowed his head politely, and then said in a very non-standard Kyoto accent: "My lord thinks that Matsunaga's statement about playing the main hall is reasonable" "Hey! Why does this boy Tokichiro have such a strange accent? No.  "Have you forgotten that you are from Owari?" Sasana Masaru pointedly mocked, meaning that you are trying to imitate Kyoto people, have you forgotten that you are from Owari, and are you favoring Owari?  Matsunagahide, whom the samurai had just defeated, was still not an Owari.  At this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi's status was not what it used to be. As a man who was not only proficient in government affairs but also managed things in an orderly manner, his ability to build Sumamata Castle in seven days was regarded as a miracle. In terms of diplomatic strategy in the years since he was sent to Echigo,  He has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, helping Takigawa Kazumas reach a no-war peace agreement with the Takeda family. In recent years, he has led troops to fight and made many military exploits. On the other hand, Sasaki Narimasa is almost standing still.  In Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes, he was not considered a number one figure at all.  Hashiba Hideyoshi chose to ignore Sasanagi Masa＊s malicious attack.  He continued: "Your Highness Gongfang, Lord Mingjian. Gongfang Guandong is brave and good at fighting and has made outstanding achievements. The Yu Zeshang left behind in Ji Nei has brought countless troubles to us. If Gongfang Kwantong is allowed to calmly raise his troops, the shogunate will be able to revive the hope of us and others."  All the hopes of glory will be turned into powder. However, the Kanto government is so tyrannical, and no big name in one place can match it. The only way for now is to contact all parties to form a blood alliance, including Tokai, Kinki, Saigoku, Kyushu, and so on.  The rebels of the Four Kingdoms can only win by fighting against the powerful Kanto Lord, so it should be understandable to contact the Miyoshi family. Based on my humble opinion, it is better to act as soon as possible. "Hashiba Hideyoshi's words really made many samurai think.  I felt a sudden enlightenment. After careful consideration, I realized that if we could really unite the Western Army, it would really be possible to overthrow the prestigious Ashikaga Yoshitoki. Many samurai who looked down on Hashiba Hideyoshi's origins looked up at him with surprise in their eyes.  admire.  The strong have always been worthy of admiration, just like when the world worshiped Ashikaga Yoshi.  Another example is that the Owari samurai admired Oda Nobunaga, and the current samurai admire Hashiba Hideyoshi.  People always respect and admire the strong people who emerge from the tide of the times. Only the strong can lead them out of troubled times. How can a weak family maintain peace in the world?  Oda Nobunaga waved his hand for him to retreat, looked sideways at the stunned ministers, and said with a grin: "What do you guys think of this plan? Is it feasible?" "It is feasible!" Shibata Katsuie scratched his head and said  I murmured in my heart: "Why didn't I expect this? Is this thief-headed bald rat really that smart?" The Oda family tree has been sparsely expressed that it is feasible. Even if they are unwilling to do so, they must admit that it is impossible with their wisdom.  Find a better alternative. After all, this is the Nijo Imperial Palace of the shogunate in Kyoto City, not the wine shop in Qingzhou Castle Town in Owari Province. Bragging and bragging here will cost you blood and life.  "Then let's do it!" Oda Nobunaga turned around and leaned on the ground and bowed his head and said: "Please ask His Highness K身kata to issue a royal teaching letter to summon all the daimyo to come to Luo to discuss the order to conquer Kant身 K身k身!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked:  "Can Yu's imperial teachings attract these famous names from the Western Kingdom?" " Then please ask the Emperor to issue a pardon today!" Maeda Xuanyi said: "His Majesty issued a decree to conquer the enemy some time ago.  The next one seems inappropriate. " "There is no need for your majesty to issue an edict, just a pardon! In short, please, Your Highness." Oda Nobunaga bowed again, and the Oda family warriors followed the master's actions.  They all stood on the ground and bowed their heads, and said in unison: "Please, Your Highness!" A few days later, the emperor issued pardon orders to Saigoku, Kyushu, Shikoku, Kinki, and Tokai respectively, requiring people with lofty ideals from all over the country to go to Saigoku from the date of the edict.  Kyoto was at the mercy of the shogunate, and was accompanied by a crusade order from Ashikaga Yoshiaki. The target of this crusade order was Kanto Duke Ashikaga Yoshitoki. This was the beginning of the rift between the two sides, but it was by no means the end of everything.  ＃ It was a sunny day on March 28th, outside Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Sagami Province. The sky was dim at the moment, and melodious bells could be heard from the silent Hachimangu Shrine. The monks and priests began to pray for the day as usual, but today  The situation is slightly different. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Betsu Ashikagagi walked out of the main hall and walked slowly down the large stone section.  After several days of fasting, bathing, chanting sutras, and constantly praying to Hachiman Daibodhisattva, the clan god of Kawachi Genji, and to the ancestors of Kawachi Genji, his mind became more and more serious.??Calm down but also more strong and persistent. The so-called major affairs of the country are sacrifices and military affairs. Praying to gods and war are the main themes of the Middle Ages. What he did is what an orthodox warrior should do.  Outside the torii gate of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, soldiers and flags are everywhere, and a long queue reaches the end of the streets of Kamakura. If someone stands on a nearby mountain and looks around, he can see the murderous aura coming straight into the corner of the Miura Peninsula.  In the sky, in just two months, all the warriors from the Eastern Kingdom have swarmed up, and the streets can't be seen at a glance.  Walking down the big stone section, we stood under the big ginkgo tree that assassinated Yuan Mingchao and built a high platform. On both sides of the high platform were two bare flagpoles. Standing on the high platform and looking around, the small square was already filled with people.  As witnesses, the ministers sat side by side in the corridor of the dance hall, quietly waiting for the ceremony of raising troops to attack. As Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked down, Kagura played and several warriors came over holding family treasures.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked up to the high platform, glanced at the familiar faces, and suddenly shouted: "Gentlemen! Do you know who I am?" The ministers leaned over and said: "You are His Highness the Lord of Kanto!" Ashikaga Yoshitoki  After laughing three times, he suddenly said: "From today on, I am no longer Lord Guandong." "Ah? How could it be!" The officials were commotion.  The warriors were in an uproar.  No one knows what the Duke of Guandong means by this statement.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki picked up a piece of silk and said: "This is the shogunate's crusade order! Ashikaga Yoshiaki's crusade order issued to me!" He showed it around and handed it to Kitahata Tatefou, who stood in the audience and read loudly:  "For more than two hundred years since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Kwantung martial arts family has always had the ambition to be self-reliant. Today, the villains of Ji Liangzhuang have once again usurped the throne and attempted to depose Shangluocao. This move is hated by the righteous people in the world and is also hated by the imperial court and shogunate.  ! In the name of the leader of the Ashikaga family, I deposed the power of the Kanto shogun of Ashikaga Yoshitomo, and took away the title of Ashikaga with the Miao name. The family crest of the Ashikaga yinryo was not allowed, and the Kanto samurai had  Those who have changed their minds will all give up resistance. If they don't follow, the rebel soldiers will be reduced to powder and bones, and they will still be the same" "Ah! Ashikaga Yoshiaki is going to die! He kills his brother and his mother, and he still has the nerve to call himself a sect.  Commander, I have never seen such a shameless samurai! Your Highness, please kill him!" Takigawa Shiyi's eyes widened with anger, and he became furious.  The young samurai were all filled with righteous indignation and could kill without even giving a headshot.  It is unacceptable to seize the title of General of Kwantung, not to mention how disgusting and despicable it is to seize the title of Miao.  "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" The Kanto samurai shouted in unison to kill Ashikaga Yoshiaki.  "Everyone, be at peace! I have something to say." Ashikaga Yoshitoki pressed his hands and pointed at the family treasure behind him and said, "Do you know what this is?" "The boy is cutting an steel!" "Mikazuki Mune is near!" "  "Dadian Taiguangshi!" "I don't know this one" "I haven't seen this sword before, is it?" The warriors looked at the sword in surprise, and saw him gently pulling out the sword and raising it above his head, letting the early morning breeze blow.  The sunlight refracted on the sword, as if it was coated with a layer of brilliant golden light. Ashikaga Yoshitoki said: "This sword is called Mustache Kiri, also known as Onikiri. Do you recognize it?" "NaniNani! That one  The legendary Genji treasure! Oni Onikiri!" Satake Yoshigage was shocked, his legs softened and he knelt down, murmuring: "Isn't this famous sword missing? How could it be" The Kanto warrior was shocked.  His whole body was trembling. The last time this sword appeared in Kanto was more than 300 years ago, but it never expected to see the light of day again. Kitahata Totof身 said: "The Tale of Heiji says that when Yoshit身 raised his troops, he granted Yori the name of the sword, Taisan."  Yi, the precious sword is named Bichiri, two things, it is a valuable weapon of the Minamoto family, and it will not be passed down unless it is the direct line. Yoshitomo does not grant Yoshihei, but relies on it Do you know the meaning of the Minamoto family's important weapon, and it is not passed down unless it is the direct line?  "The direct descendantthe noble seed of the Genji" said in silence. "Yes! Look, this is the noble seed of the Genji!" Kitahata Tatefang said excitedly, pointing to the ancient armor placed on the high platform.  : "Michihara and Genta's birth clothes all belong to His Highness Gongfang. This is God's will! This is the gods and Buddhas blessing our Minamoto family. This is the ancestor's instruction for our Minamoto family's long-lasting military fortune! Namu Hachiman Bodhisattva!" "  "Namu Hachiman Bodhisattva!" The shouts spread to the distance. Tens of thousands of soldiers outside the torii put down their swords and knelt on the ground, shouting the name of "Namu Hachiman Bodhisattva". The shouts gradually spread to the streets of Kamakura.  In the alley, the knights on horseback who came in a hurry stood on their horses and shouted, and the passers-by leaned over to repeat. This blessing from the family has been passed down for thousands of years and has penetrated into the hearts of every Kamakura person.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki sighed: "My lords! Take another look at the mountains and rivers of my Minamoto family! Let's worship our ancestors again! You lords, just like I, Yoshiaki, have lost their reputations. Ashikaga Yoshiaki deprived us of everything with a crusade.  , all that is left are the swords, guns and armor given to us by our ancestors. If we no longer sacrifice to our ancestors,Ancestors, how will we see our ancestors after we die?  How can I be ashamed to be sacrificed by my descendants!  " Kitahata Tatefang said in surprise: "Your Highness Gongfang!  " "I'm fine.  " Ashikaga Yoshitoki laughed and said: "Ashikaga Yoshiaki killed his brother, patricide and imprisoned the emperor, which caused a boiling public resentment in the country. Now he has deposed me and taken away my title Good!  I don＊t want General Kanto anymore!  " "Your Highness, you can't" Yamaoka Tokugawa couldn't help but took a few steps forward, but was pushed back by the ferocious Yoshie Kakizaki. Several veterans tried to rush over in excitement but were blocked. The two sides collided frequently.  The scene was heated, and if Yamamoto Michiki, Uesugi Kenshin, Sanada Yukitaka and other family elders hadn't tried to dissuade him, a conflict would have almost occurred. Ashikaga Yoshitoki completely ignored the commotion in the audience and got into the mood and laughed like crazy: "  The Miao name Ashikaga was given by the modern public light source temple. What right does he, a usurper who killed his brother and mother, have the right to deprive me of my Miao name!  An evil thief who is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, and has no talent or virtue dares to act wild in front of me!  Do you think that the ancestors of my Yuan family are filled with gods and Buddhas as if they are nothing?  This animal is also worthy of being a general!  Pooh!  " A curse showed the anger of several months vividly. No matter how many evil things he had done in his life or what his personal morals were, he was still an orthodox warrior who followed the rules. He never thought about killing his relatives and usurping the throne, nor did he do anything to intimidate the general.  He worked hard to manage the little territory in Kanto without any enterprising spirit, but in the end the villain who killed his brother and usurped the throne turned against him. Seeing how late it was, Ashikaga Yoshitoki said: "No idle talk.  Say more, and respectfully welcome the White Flag!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
