Chapter 4 Omi Eagle: Takashima Yoritsuna
Hosokawa Fujitaka actually doesn't like Wada Yumasa very much, this comes from the origin of the two, Hosokawa Fujitaka was born in the famous Hosokawa clan guardian family, and has been an important shogunate of the Muromachi shogunate for generations, although since Hosokawa Masamoto was assassinated by his adopted son Cheng one of the party retainers went into decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he got the official position from the five lower military departments in one yuanfu, which is an official position officially granted by the imperial court and the shogunate, and the gold content is much greater than the self-professed. This Wada Yumasa was born in Koga, and after becoming a shogunate, he was neither big nor small in front of Hosokawa Fujitaka, and he had no dignity.
Since he was a child, Hosokawa Fujitaka has had the political acumen of a qualified political family, and he knows how to start when he needs to start. But the political family needs that kind of grandeur and generosity, and Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't have it. But he can endure, patience is not cowardice, let alone submission, only mature politicians know what to endure, it seems that after the defeat of Goujian, he was willing to be a slave of the enemy, Han Xin was forced to crawl under the crotch of his pants by hooligans, he silently accepted it, this kind of retracted fist-style patience, if a person is not strong enough, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
For Hosokawa Fujitaka, he can endure Wada Yumasa's unreasonableness, and using various relationships is what he is best at, as for creating a certain political situation, and cultivating and developing it wholeheartedly, it is not what he is good at. In the original history, Hosokawa Fujitaka successively went out of the Muromachi shogunate, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and each time he was able to see the truth of the matter clearly, make timely and correct choices, although he could not reproduce the glory of his ancestors, but it was not unusual to be able to keep his family name undefeated in the troubled times for several generations.
The reason why Yumasa Wada is famous in history is simple, his fame is closely related to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the last shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. It can be said that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is also seized, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki is also defeated, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was assassinated by Matsunaga Hide, etc., Wada Yumasa rescued Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and then followed the latter to wander, after Oda Nobunaga Kamiraku succeeded and Ikeda Katsumasa, Itami Kinko served as one of the three guardians of Settsu, and then sank due to the death of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Hosokawa Fujitaka put down his teacup and tightened his collar. said: "Sweep the head, do you know the personality of Lord Date Masaada?" ”
Wada Yumasa is the dark leader under Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and he actually knows that Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't like him very much, but he doesn't care too much about this matter, and replied: "Lord Date Masadada, now twenty years old, is from a large number of people. Consecutive victories, last year it captured the three kingdoms of Bizen, Bigo, and Misaku, and the soldiers pointed directly at Harima Country, which shook Kinai, and the Miyoshi rebels suspended the persecution of the shogunate, and Chen soldiers tens of thousands of soldiers on the Harima border. Yumasa Wada introduced the details of Date Masaki.
Hosokawa Fujitaka listened quietly. He'd heard most of the news before, but he was thrilled to hear it again. Since the time of the violent turmoil in the Chugoku region, although Hosokawa Fujitaka acted as a shogunate and fled to Omi Province with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he still immediately sent people to investigate the situation in detail. The news that came back really surprised Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Hosokawa Fujitaka and others. Mori Moto, and Niko Haruhisa are both heroes who have the potential to unify yin and yang within the shogunate, and now they have been defeated one after another by a born Date Masaki, not only that, but from Bichu to Kibi Shikoku. Date Masaki quietly occupied the vast territory of Yin and Yang, and the western part of Harima Province was also under his command.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't believe it when they got the news. However, these spies are all members of the dark department who have followed the shogunate for generations, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come up with some false information to fool the master's family. What's more, even Miyoshi Chokei suspended the persecution of the shogunate and instead arranged the soldiers and horses on the front line of Harima Province, this matter would not be fake.
Hosokawa Fujitaka pondered for a moment, and he asked, "Sweep the head, you can analyze it, will Lord Date Masatuda agree to the general's request?" ”
Wada Weizheng sneered. said: "What do you say? Lord Date Masataka successively won victories against the two major warring states in China, but he also suffered huge losses, insufficient money and food, and the rear was also unstable, so it was difficult to succeed in a short period of time, and this trip was probably in vain. ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka also agrees with Wada's opinion, which is subtly different from Wada's. He said sternly: "Sweeping the head, doesn't General Zhengyi know that this trip may not be successful?" I think there is a deeper reason for the general Zhengyi. ”
Wada Yumasa frowned, he didn't think of anything else that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had in mind to send them. Asked eagerly, "Daisuke Bingbe, what do you say?" ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka took a sip of tea again, and then said: "Sweep the head, the latest situation in Omi, you also know a thing or two, since the death of the Grand Monk of the Yunguang Temple Hall Kameko Daiju the year before last, Dr. Zuojing inherited the position of the family governor, and his attitude towards the shogunate was too bad as before, not to mention that now the six-year-old city lord of the Kuchiki Pavilion drowned, and the son of the Grand Monk of the Kukoji Temple, the great monk of the Kameko, inherited the Kuchiki Pavilion, and did not get along with Dr. Zuojing, and the two sides had constant friction in the Shiga Prefecture. ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka tells that it is indeed the latest situation in Omi, and that Kuchigi Mototsuna, who had inherited the family governor at the age of two, lived to the age of 84 before his death, and his descendants regained power during the Edo shogunate period. In this era, he drowned early, and the concubine of Rokkaku Joyori, the governor of the Takashima family, Takashima Yoritsuna, married the widowed mother of Kuchiki Mototsuna and became the lord of Kuchigikan Gomangoku, and became the lord of Higashi-Omi Gomangoku.
Wada Yumasa knew more in detail, and he narrated in a deep voice: "Not only that, at the end of last year, the rebellion of Imagata Castle was broken by Hano Tsunara under Takashima Yoritsuna, and the 1,200 reinforcements of Dr. Sakyo were ambushed by the Takashima family and suffered heavy losses, and Jiangnan Qitou Shan Oka Keiyuki was seriously injured and captured. Dr. Zuojing, who had just inherited the position of family governor, could not defeat his younger brother head-on on the battlefield, which directly affected the prestige of the family, and several Pudai retainers showed signs of instability. ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded and said: "That's right, to put it mildly, when Mototsuna was alive, he was young and ignorant, and the Guanyin Temple City was far away, and the general of Zhengyi avoided living in the Kuchiki Pavilion and was rarely constrained in recruiting troops and horses, and now that Takashima Yoritsuna is rising strongly, it is obviously impossible to sit back and watch General Zhengyi frequently meddle in government affairs." ”
Wada Yumasa's eyes lit up, he obviously understood, and asked urgently: "Is Takashima Yorizuna already abnormal?" ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka replied: "Dr. Zuojing has tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are no eggs under the pressure of the army, Takashima Yoritsuna won once It is really a fluke, in order to resist Doctor Zuojing, there must be foreign aid, look around the neighborhood, who else can help him except the three good traitors." Once you get the funding of the Miyoshi traitor, Dr. Zuojing will be struggling step by step, and what is the situation of the general Zhengyi, you and I, as shogunates, need to take precautions. ”
"This?"
Listening to Hosokawa Fujitaka's point, Wada Yumasa suddenly realized that some things were understood, but when he thought of the current situation of the shogunate, his heart was entangled again, once Ashikaga Yoshiteru went into exile, he would inevitably have to make a choice, whether to continue to become a shogunate and follow Ashikaga Yoshiteru into exile or stay in the territory as his countrymen, and there was no day for him in his life.
Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't go to see Wada Yumasa, he said to himself: "Once you lose your shelter in Omi Province, then you need to go into exile further out, in the area of Miyoshi Chokei, now the only one who can provide protection for the shogun Seiyi is Echizen Asakura, but the Asakura military god Asakura Munedri is old, and the Asakura family is gloomy, and when he heard the rumors of Date Masaki's successive victories, he asked for help from him." ”
If Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa were able to keep their mouths shut, Kusama Shibei, who had extracted some information from their entourage, had already reported the changes in Kinaisheng to Masahiro, who obviously did not expect that history would become so strange because of his arrival.
Takashima Yoritsuna was born, and Omi Province changed from a two-power hegemony to a three-legged stand, and Zhengheng muttered, "Takashima Yoritsuna, is it another hero who died prematurely in history?" He was quite immune to these unknown people in history, but when he heard Takashima Yoritsuna, he couldn't help but be surprised for a while.
Thinking of the Omi civil strife, it was no wonder that Ashikaga Yoshiteru would send Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa to Tsurujo for help. Masahiro thought of the original history, Ashikaga Yoshiaki repeatedly persuaded Asakura Yoshikei to send troops to Beijing, but the latter shirked in every possible way, indulged in wine all day long, and did not take any action for a long time, and finally achieved Oda Nobunaga.
Now in the twenty-third year of Astronomical (1554), Oda Nobunaga is still competing with his younger brother Nobuyuki for the position of family governor, and Mino Saito Michizo has a sinister relationship with his eldest son Yoshiryu, and the war between Kudu is imminent. The military god of the Asakura family, Asakura Sote, is already seventy-eight years old, riddled with illness, and Kaga has always been harassing Echizen Province all the time, so it is even more impossible for Kamira to compete with the young and powerful Miyoshi Chokei.
The longer Ashikaga Yoshiki left Gyeonggi, the weaker his influence in Gyeonggi became, and one day, he would have little influence on the forces within Gyeonggi. At that time, it would be more difficult for Ashikaga Yoshiki to regain his position as shogun, and to maintain his influence in Gyeonggi, he would have to let the samurai and people of Gyeonggi know that he was by his side.
Looking around the neighborhood, only the Date family, which commanded the Kibi Shikoku and pointed directly at Harima Province, was the most appropriate choice, and the other Warring States daimyo were all too far away from Gyeonggi or too weak. However, this could not be done without the permission and support of the Date family, to be precise, without Date Masaki's will, everything was in vain.
This is the reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yushimasa came together, thinking of this, Masahiro couldn't help but press his temple, obviously he was not ready to accept Ashikaga Yoshiteru, whether it was a pro or a cons.
