Pillars of the Wu family

() Another new news came from the Hattori family. The new changes in Kanto were finally introduced to Kinki half a month later, because Takasuke supported his grandson Ashikaga Fuji as the new governor of Kanto. He also ordered a crusade against Hojo Ujiyasu, who killed and killed the Kanto government. Hojo Ujiyasu was furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent Hojo Tsunashige to lead an army to surround the Furukawa Imperial Palace. The Kanto that had just calmed down fell into a huge storm again. Just don't know where it will go this time.

Because of this series of changes, the people of the Kanto Kingdom who were shaken by the Kawagoe night battle cheered up again, and the Hojo family’s killing of Kanto Gongfang was simply unforgivable. The arrogance of the arrogance was simply appalling, and the Kanto Wu family played the banner of revenge for the Ashikaga Haru clan, calling on the Kanto Wu family to rise up against the tyranny of the Hojo family.

"The Hojo family surrounded the Furukawa Imperial Palace?" Kira Manmatsumaru was very surprised. The death of Ashikaga Harushi also caused a lot of trouble in Kinai. Usurping against the master, it seems that the Wu family's regime is really about to collapse.

The monks of Hokka Sect took the opportunity to publicize the theory of the end of Dharma and attracted a large number of believers. For a while, Hokka Sect, known as the Lotus Sect, returned to Kinai to gain a firm foothold. Hiei Mountain Enryaku Temple was very dissatisfied with this, of course not I am very satisfied with Ishiyama Hongan Temple. The monks of the two families are active in Kyoto, hoping to squeeze the Fahuazong away again. Unfortunately, Kyoto is in a mess. The Great Imperial Palace and the public went to Omi for vacation. Running from place to place, he could only wait with trepidation for the next move of Miyoshi's family.

The Sakamoto Imperial Palace was also the final destination of the Kira Family’s Shangluo Army. The shogunate knew the news of the Kira Family’s Shangluo early, so they sent their followers Nakazawa Sobe to help Mitsutoshi wait in Otsu early, entered the Sakamoto Imperial Palace, and met Odate who was staying here Saemon Saharuki and Kuchiki Miyauchi Shaosuke Haruna learned that neither the Ogosho nor His Highness Kokata were in the Sakamoto Gosho.

It turned out that Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Ashikaga Yoshito, father and son, were unwilling to be kicked out of Kyoto again, so they ran to the vicinity of Cizhao Temple outside the city of Kyoto, planning to build a Nakao Castle on the Nakao Peak in the back mountain of Cizhao Temple. And use this as an offensive base to further seize control of Kyoto.

Cizhao Temple is the Silver Pavilion Temple. The temple built by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Higashiyamaden was originally intended to be comparable to the Golden Pavilion Temple in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Luyuan Temple. Unfortunately, this general is really incompetent. During his reign, the Onin Rebellion broke out. It can be said that the last bit of luck in the shogunate was lost. The next few generals all became the puppets of powerful ministers, just like the current Great Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, and the official exchanges between Kyoto and Sakamoto. Frequent ones can be regarded as creating a miracle for the shogunate.

Of course, Yoshiki Ashikaga, the adoptive father of the Great Imperial Palace, is also a good runner, and he is also a kind of large-scale strategic shift. The first time he was claustrophobic in Shodoshima is not counted, and Etchu, Echizen, and Zhou Fang behind him ran around and finally got it back. General, and within a few years, Haorizi broke up with Takakuni Hosokawa again, and then Awa, Settsu, Sakaicho, and Awaji continued to run, and finally died of illness in Awaji when he couldn't run anymore.

The Shogun’s family has been a tragedy in recent decades. The beginning of the tragedy can be traced back to the Cargill Rebellion more than 100 years ago. After Ashikaga Yoshinaka was hacked and killed by Akamatsu Misuke, the Muromachi Shogunate began to decline irresistibly, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa only accelerated. All of this, after Ashikaga Yoshinaka's death, Ashikaga Yoshinaka was exiled in the Mingyu coup, Ashikaga Yoshinori's family was supported and completely destroyed the remaining prestige, and since then the general's running training has become a compulsory course.

Odate Zaemon Sa Haruki and Kuchiki Miyauchi Shosuke Haruzuna served as the guards of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace. The former is the most trusted confidant of the Ashikaga family, and the latter controls the Kuchiki Valley in Takashima County adjacent to Sakamoto, and is also the most supportive of the shogunate. People from the country, these two people staying here to guard the Sakamoto Imperial Palace can not only be at ease, but also take care of their current situation, because both of them are very unlucky to encounter the same thing, and the father died.

Odate Qingguang's father was the famous diplomat of the shogunate, the Odate Sho family, who entered the Daoist Changxing. He went west with a crane, but it was a joy or a funeral, so Haruki Odate, who was over fifty years old, was not very sad. He even talked to Kira Wansongmaru about the history of his father, Odate Changxing.

The Odate clan comes from the Nitta clan of the Minamoto clan in Hanoi. The Nitta clan with strong roots can be said to have a strong family. This is a famous martial arts family that appeared in "Taiping Ji". I don't know how much higher the counterfeiters of the Liangtian branch are.

Because it is a powerful branch of the Nitta clan, the ancestor Odate clan Akira once followed Nitta Yoshisada to oppose the Ashikaga Takashi, but with the continuous victory of the Ashikaga family, the Nitta clan perished and turned to the embrace of the shogunate. The era became Fenggong, and later he was promoted because Odate Mantou's daughter Imasanju became the mother-in-law of Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

From then on, the Odate family held the belief of being a relative, and Odate Joko's aunt, Odate Sako, became Ashikaga Yoshimasa's concubine, and Odate Changxing married his daughter to the twelfth-generation official Ashikaga Yoshiharu as a concubine. It is precisely because of this that their family has served as the shogunate Shinji all the year round, and later served as the fifth head of the public during the Ashikaga Yoshinaka era, and since the Changlu period, they have served as the imperial congregation. messed up

This old birthday star has successively experienced Ashikaga Yoshinaga, Ashikaga Yoshinaka, Ashikaga Yoshitsuke, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, Ashikaga Yoshinori, and the elders of the Six Dynasties. Ashikaga Yoshiharu fled from the Great Imperial Palace in a hurry. He followed the general and retreated to the Omi Sakamoto Imperial Palace at an old age, and stayed in the residence near this imperial palace.

It is a pity that before he closed his eyes, he still received disappointing news. Ashikaga Yoshiharu was defeated and returned to Omi Sakamoto. It is unknown when he will be able to return to Kyoto, let alone the great cause of revival of the shogunate. May die with endless regrets.

In contrast, Kuchiki Haruna was not so lucky. His father Kuchiki Tsuna also died of an accident at this time. Compared with the old man in Taiguan who passed away forever, this Kuchiki Ketsuna died of illness at the age of 51. The Kuchiki family Like the Odate family, he has a large number of children, and he himself was promoted as the first batch of Chinese people who joined after Ashikaga Yoshito Motofu.

The younger brothers Kuchiki Fujitsuna of the same family are but people in the back house, Kuchiki Naruzuna is telling everyone, the two younger brothers Kuchiki Naotsuna and Kuchiki Fujitaka also follow Fujizuna to work in the back house, Kuchiki Haruna His youngest son was just born this year, and the main wife is Asuka Masatsuna's daughter.

Kira Manmatsumaru can be sure that his son should be Kuchiki Motozuna who will be active in Omi in the future, and his son will marry the granddaughter of Asuka Masatsuna in the future, an eminent monk of the Takada sect of Jodo Shinzong, and a resident of Isekuni Isada Amyoju Temple Yaohui's prostitute's daughter, this family has a very close relationship with the Asuka family.

Note: These two are the two representatives of the Ashikaga shogunate, one inside and one outside, the inner minister Odate and the outer minister Kuchiki.
