Pillars of the Wu family

"Oh! I almost got into Otemon? What a pity!" Yoshitomo Kira looked around for a moment, holding the iron military equipment and said, "It's a pity that it's getting late, that's it! Continue tomorrow!"

"Retreat!" The general gave an order, no matter how unwilling Kuchiki Fujitsuna was, he had no choice but to retreat to the main formation.

Kira Yoshitoki smiled and said: "The Kuchikiden's performance is very good! The action of hitting the door just now was very brave! It's a pity that time is running out, so the family announced the withdrawal of troops, you must understand?"

"I, Fujitsuna, have no doubts." Kuchiki Fujitsuna couldn't express his anger, his face was blushing and he had to retreat in dismay.

Except for the fact that the Kuchiki army almost broke through the Otemon with their bloody courage on the first day, the next two days were completely boring. The contact was interrupted, and they didn't know what went wrong inside them.

Not long after, Hattori Yasumoto came over to report: "My lord! Yorimaga Takashima suddenly wanted to go back on his word. He seemed to be waiting to see Sanzhu's reaction before making a decision."

Yoshishi Kira smiled contemptuously, and said contemptuously: "Stupid! He still wants Sanzhu! His messengers were all beheaded by the family. Where can Sanzhu wait for him? Tell him! The family knows that the Takashima family is short of food. , as long as my family hears about it for another half a month, all the Takashima family will starve to death! He is restricted to surrender tomorrow night, otherwise his Takashima family will perish when Qingshuishan City runs out of food!"

Tokyuki Yamamoto stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Did the owner of the museum also find out?"

"Can you not find out? The master reminded me very clearly! April and May are not harvested, and the family's food reserves are not much. The Takashima family's repeated wars will only make the situation worse than the family's situation. Besides, the master is not sure. Is it possible to break the city within ten months? The city can be broken in ten months, but the food is exhausted, and a little calculation can be calculated that the Takashima family’s rations should be less than seven days!" Yoshishi Kira curled his lips, thinking that you should still I don't know anything.

"Well, since that's the case, this siege battle can be over early! The old minister can also relax." Yamamoto Tokiyuki picked up his teacup and walked out of the big tent.

After the two armies stopped fighting that evening, Hattori Yasumoto received the latest information from Takashima Yorimaga. It seemed that the shogunate had come prepared and knew the information about Qingshuishan Castle very well. Kaesong welcomes the shogunate army to ascend the city.

The shogunate coalition forces were already exhausted after three days of attack and defense, and no one noticed a little movement in Kira's house. That night, Kira Yoshihiro rested early at night, and he didn't want to participate in the task of stealing the city in the dark. In his words That is: "I'm still in the puberty stage. Going to bed early and getting up early is good for my health. I must not do things that damage my skin like staying up late. What if I get pimples on my face..."

At half past midnight on April [-]th, the Kira's family of horses mobilized quietly. They abandoned their horses and walked up the mountain on foot by detouring the path on the east side. Under the guidance of this senior leading party, Huizhong broke into Qulun and set fire everywhere. The remaining [-] defenders in the city were defeated by the joint attack of Neigui and Ma Huizhong.

Yoshitaka Takashima Etchu, who was sleeping soundly in the castle tower, was awakened, and immediately organized a strong counterattack. The horses of the Kira family deliberately slowed down and let Takashima Yoricho take the lead in attacking. In the end, the biggest rebellion of the Takashima family Killed his elder brother with his own hands, and dedicated his head to the Kira family to express his respect. There were 28 people injured in the draft horses and none of them died in battle. All were injured.

The next day, the Takashima clan surrendered in Kaesong. Yoshihiro Kira received Takashima Yoricaga kindly, and generously gave him a lot of merit. A ride and a gun were won by the brave Naopaga Yamaoka. Of course he He also paid a price for his bravery. The incident of getting an arrow in the buttocks and his brave deeds were widely circulated, and was dubbed "the warrior who got the arrow in the buttocks" by Yoshitoki Kira.

Yoricho Takashima and Yoricho returned to live in Qingshuishan City, which was urgently repaired that night. When Xiaoxing opened the paper door the next day, he found that Yoricho Takashima's body was already stiff. It is said that there were no signs of struggle or wounds before his death. His eyes were protruding and his expression was horrified, as if he had been frightened to death. It is said that it was his elder brother Takashima Raiko who came to ask for his life.

"It is said that the appearance of the death was horrific. It was so miserable that the little surname fainted on the spot."

"Yeah! It's too much for that Takashima Yorimaga. It's understandable to join the shogunate to continue the family business, but it's too much to kill your own brother with your own hands. I heard that Takashima Yorimaga also wanted to kill his brother. It’s no surprise that such a person would be revenged by the Wraith!”

……

When Kira Manmatsumaru heard this rumor, he felt uncomfortable. Seeing Yamamoto Tokiyuki opened his mouth and asked: "The Hattori family is really beautiful! It's just such a dangerous thing, what if it happens to the main family?"

Tokiyuki Yamamoto could only comfort him and said: "Master, you are too worried! Takashima Yoricho's guards were removed in advance by the family, and only a few surnames dressed him, so he was able to succeed easily. There are many people in the family and people close to him. , Hattori Jiezhong three kinds of protection, please ask the owner of the hall to protect his own personal safety!"

"I hope so!"

This battle ended in a blink of an eye. The mysterious death of the biggest contributor changed the whole thing. Fortunately, no one doubted the role played by the Kira family. Temporarily vacant, Shimizu Mountain Castle is managed by Nakajo Tokihide as the castle representative.

Taro Takashima Yorigaka's son-in-law has not yet taken Yuanfu. He and his mother witnessed the tragedy of their uncle killing their father. It is said that he was stimulated by this and became more mature overnight. Let's observe first and see if he can be trained as the supervisor of the Takashima family.

Ashikaga Yoshito accepted Kira Yoshishi's suggestion and ordered the Kuchiki family's newborn son Takewakamaru to inherit the Kuchiki family's leadership, but the Takashima family still had to accept punishment. Leaving Qiqianshi to the Takashima family to retain the name of the family, according to Ashikaga Yoshito's original meaning, no territory will be left and all will be confiscated.

It's just a little unrealistic. The influence of the Takashima family, the largest force in Takashima County, is extraordinary. You can see that he uses the county as the Miao character, and the direct leader of Takashima County who divides up [-]% of the six families knows this. How much influence does the family have? If he really implements his ideas, it will definitely cause more trouble. Except for the Kuchiki family, the Takashima Seven Heads will stand on the opposite side of the shogunate. As the controller of Takashima County, Kira Yoshi At that time, he didn't want the people in Takashima County to have a bad opinion of him.

The core territory of the Takashima family is on both sides of the lower reaches of the Azumi River basin. It is less than two miles away from Lake Biwa. Not only is the geographical location superior, it is also the most affluent area in Takashima County. Half of the county's grain production comes from both sides of the Azumi River. , Even if you only occupy a part of it, you can get [-] shi. It is conceivable what price the Takashima family paid for this land.

According to the intelligence description of the Hattori Ninja investigation, the Takashima family originally had only one point in Takashima-sho, but after hundreds of years and more than a dozen generations of hard work and armed expansion, they obtained today's territory. There were frictions and even wars between the gates, including Takashima Takarai's killing of Kuchiki Haruzuna for land disputes, and finally fell into the hands of Kira Yoshitoki after a long circle.

Several other families of the Seven Heads of Kira also presented an oath after the Battle of Shimizu Castle, and sent their sons to the Kira House to express their willingness to obey the dispatch of the shogunate. As a result, Takashima County was completely pacified, and the Seven Heads of Takashima were incorporated into the Shogunate According to the general public under the jurisdiction of Kira Yoshitoshi, the shogunate announced the official appointment at the same time. Kira Yoshitoshi was the guardian of Kita Omi, directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate.

The response of the Liujiao family was correspondingly much slower. From the start of the war in Qingshui Mountain City to the capture of the city, there was no response, until the closure of the Takashima family was reduced by half, and the seven heads of Takashima surrendered and sent the first son and Yimen to the Kira family as hostages. This series of dazzling events After the change, Yoshihide Rokkaku realized that he had missed the most important part again, so he could only pinch his nose to support Yoshito Ashikaga's decision.

Odate Haruhiko spent ten rather boring days in Guanyin Temple City, and brought from the Rokkaku home a personal letter from his former governor Rokkaku Sadayori. He was sent to the shogunate to serve as the Gao family and the imperial congregation.

This Rokkaku Yoshimitsu is actually the true descendant of the Sasaki Rokkaku clan. He is the direct son of Rokkaku Tsuna and the grandson of Rokkaku Takayori. Rokkaku Tsuna was not lucky as the governor of the family. In the early years of Yongzheng, he was injured and infected when participating in the joint war in Kyoto, and died of illness at the age of only 27.

Shortly after the death of the former family governor Liujia Shigang, Liujia Dingyai, who had become a monk in Xiangguo Temple, immediately replaced his nephew Liujia Yiming as the family governor of the Liujiao family. It is impossible to say that Liujia Dinglai did not use other means. Yes, it's just that the Liujiao family has entered its heyday in his hands, and no one will support a child who has no foundation and is only nine years old. Therefore, as the legitimate son of the Liujiao clan, Liujiao Yiyi has become a lonely family. The stunning color that does not love.

Rokkaku Yoshimitsu has also changed from a descendant to a branch family, and it is still a very embarrassing branch family. He has no authority and is raised in the city of Guanyin Temple as a useless person. The only consolation prize that can be obtained, this time was used by Liujiao Dinglai's waste, and sent to the general's family as a hostage can only be said to be impermanent.
