Pillars of the Wu family

Shiga County belonged to the Kira family. The shock of this news was far more disturbing to the Liujiao family than the change in Takashima County. Shiga County was originally a residential area designated by the Liujiao family to the shogunate as a resort. The shogunate could have a It is enough to stay somewhere, and the Liujiao family also wants to take this opportunity to get close to the shogunate, seeking to obtain the management and leadership and improve their family status.

Facts have proved that Rokkaku Sadayori is completely correct in doing so. After Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Hosokawa Harumoto reconciled, Rokkaku Sadayori married Hosokawa Harumoto successively, gained great prestige for Ashikaga Yoshito Motofu, and became the leader of the shogunate Dai has achieved the goal he set at the beginning, and his family has changed the situation of being suppressed by the shogunate in the Muromachi era, and has become a famous samurai daimyo.

It's just that the Liujiao family is a speculator in the final analysis, and they don't have a strong military force. In several joint battles that are related to changes in the situation in Kinai, they often stand still and wait until the situation is clear before adding icing on the cake or simply retreating. Xian simply discards Guan Lingdai.

Because the Liujiao family hesitated and missed the opportunity, the two counties flew into the hands of Kira Yoshitoki, which made Liujiao Yixian a little dissatisfied with the Kira family, and wanted to imply that the Kira family had no excuse, so he could only stare and worry.

On the last day of April, the interior and exterior renovations of Nakao Castle were all completed. This is Ashikaga Yoshito. After visiting Sakamoto Castle, he found that many defensive facilities were very good, and ordered the craftsmen to make the same structure as usual. Anyway, a mountain castle was finally completed after he tossed for more than half a year. For this reason, Yoshitoshi Kira was called to hold a banquet in Nakao Castle.

After the banquet, Ashikaga Yoshito summoned him to the castle tower and said, "How is your army prepared? Are you sure you will fight for your family?"

Yoshishi Kira hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "There is no problem with the Mihe warriors in this formation. The people from the two counties have not been summoned yet. I wonder what His Royal Highness's plan is?"

"Yu wants to take back the lost Kyoto this summer! This is my father's last wish and also Yu's ambition! Sanzhu will definitely go to Kyoto this summer. If Yu and Sanzhu meet in a narrow road, one of them will be defeated! Yu can't be defeated! Yu Yao Victory! So Saburo will mobilize from now on! Kira will mobilize more, and it is best to transfer some troops from Mihe Kingdom! The luck of my shogunate is here to fight!"

"Your servant understands! When I get back to Sakamoto, my servant will start to deal with it immediately." Yoshitomo Kira stood up and said goodbye.

Ashikaga Yoshito appointed Kira Yoshitoki as a police officer of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace, the purpose of which was to let him launch a mobilization order on the grounds of undertaking the garrison mission of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace. Yoshito applied for the transfer of the direct minister's assistant, Sakamoto Castle, on the grounds that the army should not be vacant after the battle.

That means that it's okay for your Highness to make me lose my leg with a single word, but you have to give me manpower!Ashikaga Yoshito agreed to his request without even thinking about it, isn't it just a direct minister of the shogunate?I have no shortage of money, so Hosokawa Fujitaka was asked to come by Kirayoshi and appointed as the Shiga County representative. His duty is to formulate laws and regulations to manage all affairs in Shiga County.

Along with Hosokawa Fujitaka are Ninagawa's own son, Ninagawa's eldest son, the eldest son of a diplomat who was transferred to serve as the general secretary, and Odate Haruhiko's brother-in-law, the arrogant fenggong [-]th fan Takanobu Takanobu, head of Hyogo Museum, and his eldest son, Harutada Odate, served as the tax administrator and were responsible for collecting taxes.

At the same time, Masaoyuki Matsui's brother Matsui Yukan was appointed as the governor of Sakamoto Castle Town, responsible for assisting in the affairs of Sakamoto Castle Town. The task given to him by Kira Yoshitoki was to suppress the merchants in Sakamoto Port as soon as possible. Discuss with Hosokawa Fujitaka about the administrative decree of the castle town To do it, he also gave an example, that is, the Rakushi Order of the Kannonji Castle Town, and a similar set of laws and regulations can be drafted.

The first thing to do when you return to Sakamoto Castle is to immediately write a letter to Okochi Nobusada who stayed behind in Mikawa. The letter will be delivered to Mikawa Kingdom by the ninjas of the Hattori family day and night. According to the standard of the Hattori family, the letter can be sent to Saijo within three days. city.

The second thing is to issue a mobilization order in the two counties of Shiga and Takashima, requiring each of the two counties to dispatch 500 troops to gather a total of [-] troops. , His task is very heavy. He must ensure that the five thousand army can form a combat force in a short period of time, at least to break away from the level of ordinary peasants and soldiers.

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Tokiyuki Yamamoto dispatched 250 people from Saijo and Chibei as temporary commanders, trying to transform this improvised army into a regular reserve team with good combat power within a month or two. , when Tokyuki Yamamoto was busy reorganizing the Omi Army, Saijo Bei and Akabei were not idle, and the two backup teams were stronger than anyone else.

After making up for the shortcomings of insufficient training, the red warriors' stamina was fully stimulated. In just half a year, they were able to compete with the same number of Saijo warriors. They even learned a lot about Saijo's guns What is lacking is nothing more than proficiency in coordination. Chibei cavalry warriors still insist on the system of foot combat training every other day. All horses are covered with a layer of horse armor made of bamboo and wood. , but facing ordinary ashigaru with a long handle and soft bow and arrow is still no problem.

Eight days later, news finally came from Mikawa. Maybe it was because of the influence of Kira Yoshito’s grand Yuanfu, or maybe it was because of a great victory that added a lot of halo to the Kira family’s prestige. In short, the people of Mikawa were greatly encouraged by the news. , the originally half-hearted attitude of Mikawa Bong public has reversed, they began to actively contact Nobusada Okochi, expressing their willingness to send another batch of samurai of the same clan. Judging from the current situation, there are about [-] newly recruited samurai, probably It takes half a month to reach Omi.

In addition, there have been some changes in the Kira family. Kira Yoshian was ordered by Imagawa Yoshimoto to merge the upper and lower Kira into the Mikawa Kira family. At the same time, he appointed Okabe Motobu as the Anshoujo Dai and served as the second servant of the Mikawa Kira family. However, It seems that the Imagawa family did not expect that an agreement was reached within the two Kira. The upper Kira family is subordinate to Kira Yoshin in name, and the actual control of the family leader and retainer group and the interests of various places remain unchanged. This is the promise Kira Yoshin made at the beginning. The Kira family in Kyoto during the period of Kira Yoshitoshi was the head of a sect.

The other news may be a bit different. Yoshihiro Kira pouted and sneered when he read the letter: "Yoshimoto Imagawa really couldn't bear it anymore. He is going to marry his daughter to his brother Yoshiya Kira so soon, probably because he is worried that the merger of the two Kira will not be successful. Under control! Do you want to rely on marriage and genealogy suppression to control the Kira family? It’s just that the two Kira families are still superficially merging, but in reality they still conduct their own affairs and have no intention of joining forces, this is also something he did not expect!”

Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuesai didn't seem to have thought that the Kira family would remain divided after the reunification. The name of the Mikawa Kira family could not restrain Kami Kira's retainers at all. In fact, the so-called Mikawa Kira family was still the group of Shimo Kira. In order to strengthen the control over Mikawa Kira's family and marry his daughter, Yoshimoto sent important ministers and sent a lot of Enjiang people and a sect of Matsudaira family into Mikawa Kira's house to mix sand, so that he could finally feel at ease.
