Chapter 12: The Three Generals (Part II)

Date Mashiro's integrity has been a lot better in recent years, and if Hosokawa Tengtaka really believes in Mashiro's promise, it is true, he understands a truth, Date family wants to go to Luo, and needs a righteous name, so Ashikaga Yoshiki is not a ready-made signboard.

Hosokawa Tengtaka secretly returned to Tsuruga with a satisfactory reply and a heavy gift box, no matter how urgent Ashikaga Yoshiteru was, he also knew that there was no other way to go now only in Tsuruga to recharge his energy and taoguang.

It was during this time that a young man who fled from Mino Province became a shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and became his right-hand man along with Hosokawa Tengtaka. He will appear later, and he will be sold here first, and a little bit of a summary.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is gone, leaving behind a political balance full of regrets, since Miyoshi Chokei counterattacked, Honganji's career has fallen into silence, which makes him embarrassed who has been paying attention to the civil strife in Ki, he said to himself: "Tsuruga's unwilling to be lonely, Miyoshi Chokei used the new general of Yamashiro to step up contact with the monks of Mt. Hiei and Nara, hey, Honganji is too soft-hearted." At this time, you are soft-hearted, others will not be soft-hearted, and they will destroy you mercilessly whenever they have the opportunity. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "As one of the few allies of Honganji, I don't help anyone to help Honganji out of its predicament. "Honganji has Date Masahiro as an ally, which can be said to be bad luck for eight lifetimes, and if you don't send a navy to stop the Awaji navy, you will add fuel to the fire.

The chaotic battle between Honganji and Miyoshi Chokei, their victory, does not matter from the perspective of political balance, it is best that Miyoshi Chokei pulls the monks of Mt. Hiei and Nara into battle together, and the Honganji is full of bags, and it doesn't matter much if they are killed. But at the beginning, I still have to give Honganji some sweetness to eat. So that Honganji will not be blinded all at once.

As long as Honganji gets the benefits, Miyoshi Chokei will shrink his forces and mess with himself, there will always be a chance. Zhengheng is like a silent wolf, staring closely at the sheep in the sheepfold, but he is not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, it is necessary to add fuel to the fire on the periphery.

Zhengheng tapped the table and muttered in a low voice: "Tsuruga's leaned towards me, Miyoshi Changqing helped up Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the mountain city, oh, no, it should be called Ashikaga Yoshiaki now, I heard that he also has a little brother Zhou Wei who is a monk in Xiangguo Temple, a family of three generals, which is not bad." However, Zhou Wei is afraid that he will not abandon the Rinzai Sect and switch to the Pure Land True Sect. Miyoshi Nagakei is based on Yoshiaki as a general, because the Awa Gongfang, who looks like a god in the Hosokawa Chitaka incident, is afraid that he will be completely angered. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiwei, now it should be called Ashikaga Yoshito, the eldest son of the eleventh general Ashikaga Yoshisumi supported by Hosokawa Masamoto, and the elder brother of the twelfth general Ashikaga Yoshiharu. The affairs of the Ashikaga shogun's family were never a personal matter, and he, like Ashikaga Yoshiaki, was involved in the battle of the powerful ministers, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki became the new shogun under the support of Miyoshi Nagakei. Although not many people have recognized it, it has not yet been recognized by the edict of the current emperor. But that's just a matter of time.

Ashikaga Yoshiki became a complete victim in the struggle, and crossed to Awa Province to be protected by the guardian Hosokawa Nomoto, Hosokawa Nomochi can be said to be his biggest supporter, Miyoshi Nagakei because of the discord with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, often brought out Ashikaga Yoshiki to talk about things.

An incident that happened in the twenty-second year of Astronomy completely broke the peace between Ashikaga Yoshinori and Miyoshi Chokei. The contradiction between Miyoshi Shikyu and Hosokawa Mochitaka, the son of Hosokawa Noshimo, broke out completely, and Hosokawa Mochitaka was the opponent of Miyoshi Shikyu, who had already seized the national government for many years, and was killed by Miyoshi Shikyu. Originally, in history, Ashikaga Yoshino ran to live under the Zhou Defense Ouchi clan for seven years, and then returned to Awa Province with the help of Miyoshi Nagayoshi. Soon after, he suffered a stroke and was unable to see anything.

In this time and space, due to the strong rise of Date Mashiro, Ashikaga Yoshiki naturally couldn't run to Date Masaki's territory to live, so he had to grit his teeth and continue to live in Awa, but the relationship with Miyoshi Minoru was not very good.

Zhengheng faced Tozawa Baiyun, who was kneeling on the ground, and tried his best to suppress the chaotic thoughts, and said slowly: "The task I gave you, have you recruited enough people in Awa, I don't know if they will be able to exert their strength?" ”

Tozawa Baiyun touched his head to the ground and replied: "According to the intention of the lord, the minister has begun to recruit people in various parts of Shikoku two years ago, and the Awa country is a key place, but if you want to do this, you don't need them to do it, just knock on the side, and some people will do it." His tone was very firm, since the three years of Hattori Security Chief and Hattori Masari's father and son out of Shiida's house, the information of Kinai was handed over to them, which made him feel a huge pressure, and he suddenly thought of the Kusama General Division, who had already been dismissed as the Okayama Security Division, wasn't it his appearance that led to the decline of the Kusama people. A lesson from the past, how can Tozawa Baiyun dare to take it lightly, as long as the tasks entrusted by the political balance, he will do his best to do it properly.

Zhengheng nodded slowly, Awa Gongfang was originally separated from Miyoshi Minoru Xiu, and now Miyoshi Nagakei has helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki to become the new general, Ashikaga Yoshiki is naturally a phoenix that has lost his hair is not as good as a chicken, and there are many people who fall into the well.

Zhengheng nodded and said, "Are the people who are close to the Awa Gongfang ready?" When the time comes, you'll have to suffer a little. ”

Tozawa Baiyun replied: "The minister must live up to the trust of the lord and will definitely do things well!" The person who approached the Awa Principality was from Awa Province, and it turned out to be a retainer of Hosokawa Mochitaka, because Hosokawa Mochitaka was killed and became a ronin, so he hit it off with our solicitation. ”

Nodding slightly, Zhengheng continued: "The four countries are probably already under surveillance, Awa and Sanqi, after the turmoil, Miyoshi Changqing is afraid that it will be difficult to preserve, and it is necessary to step up infiltration, and the Iyu country is afraid that the Murakami clan will surrender soon, and Tosa is a trouble." ”

Tozawa Baiyun replied: "Although the land of Tosa is barren, there are as many as seven famous wealthy families, collectively known as the Tosa Seven Heroes, and the war between various forces has intensified in order to compete for land and population, and the continuous war has trained a lot of strong soldiers. Nowadays, Okatoyo's Nagamune Ibu Kuniko is aggressive, using the marriage foreign policy to win over the Yoshida family, one of the seven heroes, and passing the third son to the Kaomune Ibe family, and has been called Tosa Sanjie along with the Ijo and Motoyama families, and defeated the Motoyama family in the Battle of Nagahama Castle two years ago, and most of the elites of the Motoyama family died in battle. Many important ministers were taken over, and the morale of the Chozong family was unprecedentedly high, and now the Motoyama family has shrunk to the main city of Asakura Castle, which is about to be broken in the near future, and with this power will soon sweep away the Tosa country. ”

Changzong is my country's proliger? Masahiro knew that he would eventually unify Tosa, and in just 12 years and the name of the Tosa side, he would unify Shikoku. Known as the Tosa no Bat, Nagamune Ibe Genkin, not his father Kunikin, is known for his bravery and swiftness in battle.

Zhengheng said in a low voice: "Ji Ruozi, Ghost Ruozi?" Changzong and my first pro-family, hehe, it's a good guy, but I still can't let these guys who stir up the storm be too comfortable, Bai Yun, secretly send a batch of weapons to the Benshan family. ”

Tozawa Hakutsu didn't know why Masahiro wanted to send a batch of weapons to the Motoyama family on a whim to increase the bloodshed of Tosa Province. However, since Zhengheng had ordered, he had to complete this matter, and immediately replied: "Yes, my lord, the minister understands." ”

On the 21st day of October in the first year of Eiroku (1558), a group of people with a guy in their hands followed a horse and arrived outside the Hirashimakan. The slaves guarding the Heijima Pavilion saw that the one who came was not good. Hurriedly gathered together and blocked the door.

At this time, the rider on the horse glanced at the stone monument standing on the side of the road outside the Hirashimakan with great interest. A small servant who followed him ran up and said, "Master Yizheng, the front is the Pingdao Pavilion, where the Awa Gongfang lives, and it's really going to be smashed." ”

This rider is none other than Ogiwara Minoru Nagafang's younger brother, and he is a gentleman. pretended to use his brother's power to pretend to be a tiger outside, and did a lot of bullying men and women. Today, I don't know where I was bewitched.,Come to the Hirashima Pavilion to provoke Ashikaga Yoshino.,Good to show his face in front of Miyoshi Shikyu.。

Ogiwara Minoru squinted his eyes and glanced at the little guy, and snorted coldly. Said: "What is the Awa Gongfang, and from time to time an old dog raised by the head of our family, humming, self-righteous things, my lord, I have long wanted to fight his idea, but now it is useless, just use it as a vote." ”

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the Awa Gongfang naturally has no power, but even if Miyoshi Minoru killed Hosokawa Chitaka, he still saved some face for him, and the slave of the Hirashima Pavilion was naturally not afraid of coming, seeing that it was the younger brother of the red man Hagiwara Nagafang in front of Miyoshi Shikyu, and a slave hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It turned out that Ogiwara Jiro was here, you wait, the little one will go and report to the princess......"

Before he finished speaking, Minoru Ogiwara, who couldn't hear Jiro Dalang, suddenly flew up with a kick, his right leg drew a beautiful arc in the air, and kicked the slave's chest with a "bang", and the outside of his right foot was forced, a perfect point of focus, and the slave screamed "ah" and stepped back, "Boom!" The slave slammed into the stone tablet, bounced off and fell into the mud.

Ogiwara Minoru has always used his brother's reputation to fake the power of the tiger, but in the bottom of his heart, he can't hear others say that he is Erlang Saburo, and what makes him even more annoyed is that a little slave dares to slap him in the face and make a loud noise.

The little guy who followed Minoru Hagiwara saw that the master was moving, so he was naturally not to be outdone, and shouted: "Brothers, go on!" The other servants who came with him immediately surrounded them, rushed to the slaves of the Pingdao Pavilion who had been blinded, and were all at once beaten.

Fortunately, Ogiwara Minoru has some rationality, knowing that beating and scolding Ashikaga Yoshiwei can also help Miyoshi Minoru vent his evil anger, if he is really injured and killed, he is afraid that he will get into a lawsuit, and he will be pushed out as a scapegoat to calm everyone's anger. The smashing sound was quite loud, but I didn't go in for a long time, waiting for the people in the building to react.

A slave who had been hit in the head by a stone was so frightened that he turned around and ran inside, went straight inside, ran to the door of a house and slammed the door, shouting, "Master, master, the Miyoshi family has come to the door." "The master in the slave's mouth is none other than Ashikaga Yoshinori of the Hirashima Pavilion.

The door opened left and right, and it was Ashikaga Yoshino, the owner of the Hirashima Pavilion, who opened the door, he looked kind and kind, but there was a trace of obscurity between his eyebrows, and he didn't like it, he glanced at the slave who was still bleeding, and heard the sound of smashing at the door, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he asked in a cold voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

When the slave saw Ashikaga Yoshimi come out, his body couldn't stop trembling, in the Hirashima Pavilion, the old man in front of him was everything, and he said to Ashikaga Yoshiwei: "Ogiwara Minoru and more than 100 people are smashing the door of the building, saying that they are going to pick the skin of the master. ”

After saying the last sentence, "I want to peel off the skin of the master", knowing that he had said the wrong thing, the slave saw Ashikaga Yoshinoi's anger, and immediately prostrated on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging Ashikaga Yoshino for mercy.

Ashikaga Yoshiwei's gaze froze again, Ogiwara Minoru is a high-flying and domineering gentleman, today Ogiwara Minoru came to smash his faΓ§ade, there must be someone behind him, otherwise with such a villain, where would he dare to come.

Speaking of which, if Miyoshi Changqing or Miyoshi Shixiu, or even Hagiwara Nagafang arrives, he is not afraid, but in the face of such a stubborn master as Ogiwara Minoru, it is not easy to deal with, he feels tricky, and his heart is suddenly shocked, such a person can only be frightened. His eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "The shaft is ignorant." ”

Saying that, Ashikaga Yoshinori instructed his retainers to go straight forward to stop the young and vigorous Ashikaga Yoshikatsu and Ashikaga Yoshisuke from coming forward, for fear of causing greater right and wrong. He hurried to the door of the Pingdao Pavilion with more than thirty guards.

The smashing of the Pingdao Pavilion has already attracted the attention of the people nearby, find a high ground that can't be cut by a knife or an arrow can't be shot, lay down a mat, and watch the excitement of the whole village together. Later, the nearby local tyrants Kiyohara, Unase, Kuwano, Shinkai, and Tojo sent people to watch.

On the contrary, Ogiwara Minicho thought he was waving at the crowd of onlookers, and the audience sometimes responded, applauding loudly, which made his blood rush to his head for a while, and he became even more unscrupulous, the gate had already been smashed beyond recognition, and the slaves of the Hirashima Pavilion fell down in a circle with their wails.

Ashikaga Yoshinora walked out, looked around, looked at Ogiwara Minoru with a cold expression, and was so frightened that Ogiwara Minoru trembled, but he could hear the laughter of the onlookers "Oh", which provoked him to look at Ashikaga Yoshina, and hummed: "Old dog, you come out!" ”

Hearing Ogiwara Minoru's greeting, Ashikaga Yoshino's expression couldn't help but become even colder, his eyes flashed with a vicious coldness, he took a step back, waved his hand and said, "Hit me, kill me and die." "Most of the guards in the Hirajima Pavilion were good recruits when he was in the mountain castle.

For a while, there was a mess at the entrance of the Hirashima Pavilion. Where is Minoru Ogiwara Yoshino's opponent, he was quickly beaten to the ground. (To be continued......)
