"So what you are saying is that Lord Nagabo is the son of Takakane? Is the Awa-Ogasawara clan descended from the Utagen clan Sasaki-ryu?" "No," Takatora Toudo continued, "Although Lord Nagabo is the son of Sasaki Takakane , but Sasaki Takakane is not the son of Sasaki Sudaka. " "What is the reason?" At this moment, Hideho guessed the purpose of Toudo Takatora and Ogasawara Tadashi's invitation, which was to help the Miyoshi family "recover their origins." , but I am still a little curious about what kind of context it is. "My Lord, does he know the 'Judge Minamoto' Yoshitada Minamoto?" Todo Takatora asked. "It's not too clear," Hideho shook his head and said, "I only know that he was the fourth generation pillar of the Kawachi Genji family and died in Minamoto Yoshimitsu's assassination. I don't know the rest." "That's right, it's the fourth generation of the Kawachi Genji family. Dai Dongliang, his son is called Yuan Jingguo, also known as Kawachi Genta; his grandson is called Yuan Shengjing, also known as Inazawa Kogenta; his great-grandson is called Yuan Shengguo, also known as Inazawa Suntaro. From the common names of the three generations before his ancestors, we can know the orthodox status of the Minamoto clan. . Among them, the Minamoto no Yoshi family named him &Genta* when he was born, because they had high hopes for him to become a pillar of the Five Generations,§ Takatora Todo said. "I have heard of Genta Kawachi," Hideho said: "His mother is the daughter of Taira Masamori, the third generation leader of the Ise Taira clan. Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomo, who were famous throughout the Heiji Rebellion, are his cousins ??respectively. and nephew. In order to avenge his dead father, he angrily resigned from his post and went east to seek revenge on his father's enemy, Minamoto Yoshimitsu, and stabbed his son. Later generations believed that this man had a clear sense of grudges and attached great importance to love and righteousness, and he could be called a hero of his generation. Unfortunately, Minamoto Yoshitada was still young when he died, and the pillar of the Minamoto clan was inherited by his cousin Minamoto no Yoshi. Later, with the decline of the Taira clan after the Genpei War, the Minamoto clan's lineage, which was an in-law of the Taira clan, also declined. "But my lord doesn't know that Moriguo, the grandson of Gensei Province, fled to Awa Country for refuge after being defeated in the Battle of Dannoura, right?" When Todo Takatora said this, he glanced at Ogasawara Tadaki, who nodded understandingly. Then he said goodbye to Hideho and left. Afterwards, Todo Takatora took out a medium-thick book and handed it to Hideho. ""Hiraoka Family Chronicles"?" Hideho was confused. "This family diary of the Hiraoka family records in detail the memories of Sasaki Nodaka's retainer Hiraoka Toshikiyo about his own experiences. It clearly states that Sasaki Takakano was a man he met with a local woman when he was dormant in Awa in the Minamoto Kingdom. After his son, Minamoto Mori was pardoned by Minamoto Yoritomo and returned to Kanto, this son stayed in Awa and was raised by Sasaki Nodaka. This man was Sasaki Takakane, who died to keep Awa's country safe in order to repay Sasaki. Thanks to Suedaka for his upbringing, Hiraoka Toshikiyo was also one of the few retainers who stayed with Sasaki Takakane before his death. Now that Sudaka*s lineage is cut off, his words should be the most credible. " "You are. How did you find this book?" Hideho was very curious. "I discovered that the descendant of Hiraoka Toshikiyo was a down-and-out samurai in my territory. This book is the record of his family that has been passed down from generation to generation." "Is that true?" "That's true." Todo Takatora replied. "The Jinggao line was cut off more than five hundred years ago. This person's words should be the most credible." "Even so, I'm afraid I can't stop Yunyun's mouth based on these alone." Xiubao felt a little worried. "Family status is just the icing on the cake. If you don't have enough strength, no one will care even if you come from a famous family. If you have enough strength, no matter what you say, no one will dare to say no. If you don't say it from afar, just say Lord Nobunaga. His ancestors have always identified themselves as the Fujiwara clan, and in his generation, they also declared this to the outside world at first. However, as the Oda clan gradually grew bigger, they had the ambition to conquer the world. In addition, there have always been rumors of "Genpei's confession", so They began to claim that their ancestor was the illegitimate son of the Taira clan. Even if some people didn't believe it, they even found out that he was not even the Fujiwara clan, but the Jibe clan. But what impact did this kind of noise have on Nobunaga at that time compared to the Oda clan? Isn't the 'evidence' my lord saw today not convincing enough? To be honest, it is much stronger than the Tokugawa family's argument!" Seeing Hideho hesitate, Todo Takatora became serious. Di continued, "You also know that back then, Taige also thought about inheriting the famous Wu family, but the timing was not right, and later he changed his mind, so he finally had to choose the path of becoming Guan Bai. Now that my lord has this opportunity, "Don't miss it." "Taige wanted to 'combine public and military forces'. If I accept this identity, I'm afraid I won't go back" At this time, Xiubao felt a little conflicted. According to this, even though he could do it. Becoming the pillar of the samurai family has strengthened his authority, but in the future he may have to follow the path of Tokugawa Ieyasu in history, whether to create a shogunate or continue to implement the "combination of public and military affairs". This is an issue that I have not thought about in depth before. "I also expected that my lord would have such concerns before," Todo Takatora advised, "It's better to accept this identity, but I don'tThe original surname and Miao character are also a solution. " "As the Toyotomi clan, serve as the leader of the samurai family? "Xiubao was a little surprised. "Why not? No one stipulates that the Toyotomi clan cannot serve as a general to conquer barbarians. Moreover, you are taking on this important task as a direct descendant of the fourth generation of the Gen clan in Kawachi. Moreover, the Ichijo clan, one of the five former Shogun families, can dominate Tosa as a public daimyo. It was even more so during the Kamakura shogunate. There are princes who serve as generals to conquer the barbarians. Compared with them, you are justifiable. As for the character Miao, it was given by Taige. If it is not changed, it just expresses the attitude and can easily be recognized by famous names all over the world. " "In that case, let's do as you say. My original intention is to use this to enhance my prestige, so that I will not be too dependent on the Zong family and be restricted everywhere in the future. If I change my surname, I will inevitably be alienated from the Zong family, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for my future governance. When you said this today, it suddenly became a lot brighter. Think about it, the Yamato Toyotomi clan serves as the "elder of the Minamoto clan" to lead the martial arts family, and the clan clan serves as Guanbai to command the public ministers. The public and military officials will only follow the leadership of the Toyotomi clan. From now on, regardless of the clan clan or the main clan, we will command These famous names can all be justified. § In this way, Hideho determined that his paternal line was not from the Ogasawara clan, a descendant of the Yoshimitsu ryu of the Genji dynasty in Kawachi, but the Inazawa clan, a direct eldest son of the Yoshitaka ryu of the Genji dynasty in Kawachi. As for the specific genealogy, it is: Minamoto Yoshitada - Minamoto (Kawachi) Suikoku 每 Minamoto (Inezawa) Morikoku 每 Minamoto (Inezawa) Morikoku 每 Sasaki Takakane 每 Ogasawara Chofusa (Awa Ogasawara clan) 每 Miyoshi clan 每 Miyoshi Yoshifusa 每 Toyotomi (Hashiba) Hideho . In this way, going back further, the ancestor of the Miyoshi family is Kawauchi Suikuni, the direct son of the fourth generation leader of the Kawachi Genji family, Minamoto Yoshitada, and the ancestor of the Nitta and Ashikaga clans (the son of Minamoto Yoshikuni, the concubine of the third generation leader of the Kawachi Genji family). ) are cousins, and their family status is much higher than that of the Tokugawa clan, the last descendant of the Ryota clan, who was a descendant of the Nitta clan, not to mention the Tokugawa clan who came from Kawachi Genji Yoshimitsu (the younger brother of the third generation of the Kawachi Genji clan, the Minamoto Yoshie family) Like Takeda, Ogasawara and others, it is indeed tenable to serve as the elder of the Genji in this capacity.
