Chapter 195: Chaos
In the early morning of September 5, 2016, the author finally finished writing the last word and uploaded it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Honganji is dead after all, and Miyake Asami is also dead, the former died in the Buddha Light Temple on the south side of the ruins of Yamashina Honganji, and the latter died in a stinky ditch in a very disgraceful manner.
Before they died, the two left a hot potato for Zhengheng, and he casually threw a piece of paper on the ground, scolded the country, and said: "Emperor Muhito, the era name is Meiji, and it is obvious that he threw a hot radish out before he died." ”
Meiji, from the Book of Changes: The sage faces south and listens to the world, and rules to the Ming. He was born in the line of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and now he is going to return to the court, so he is naturally in the south and listens to the world, and Honganji Temple is like giving a good era name in despair.
Zhengheng felt tricky, and naturally he had a point. Knowing that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in the final analysis a dispute between orthodoxy, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, conducted negotiations between the North and the South, and decided to continue the system of alternating unification, but after the reunification, the Northern Dynasty Imperial Family played tricks and drove the Southern Dynasty prince out of the palace.
Historically, the Edo Shogunate continued the Muromachi Shogunate, followed the Northern Dynasty as orthodox, and recognized the coexistence of the two dynasties. However, in the Meiji era, Emperor Meiji, a descendant of the Northern Dynasty, was forced to declare the Southern Dynasty as orthodox due to the situation, and the emperors of the Northern Dynasty were not included in the Emperor algebra, but the status of the emperor remained unchanged.
Naturally, Masahiro can kill the Meiji Emperor who doesn't know the origin, and of course he can also be deposed, you must know that the new emperor is the Honganji Temple, and naturally he will not be recognized by everyone, but it is indeed a difficult matter to live or die.
Death is just a knife in the hand, but if you die, there is no more, once there is no one, Zhengheng will have to bear the responsibility of killing the emperor, whether this emperor is real or not, even if it is a "pseudo" emperor, it is also the nominal emperor of the Wa Kingdom, so what is the difference between it and Honganji Xianruo.
However, it is really difficult for a strong man to admit this "pseudo" emperor, and if you know that he is the Kinai who was obtained by killing Honganji Xianru, is it not a slap in the face for him to admit that the emperor who his enemy Honganji Xianru supported is the real emperor.
The attendant reported that Hattori was coming, and at the same time Tozawa Baiyunzhai also came back to his life, and the two arrived at the palace of Heiankyo one after the other, yes, Masahiro also lived in the palace, and he went to King Luoqin, and saw Heiankyo burned into white ground, so he had to live in the palace that was still intact.
Hattori Masari and Tozawa Hakusai glanced at each other, and from the eyes of both of them, they both saw some meaning of competition, you must know that now Date Masaki has taken a solid step and is about to become a member of the world, who will become the head of the first intelligence department of the regime will quickly divide the winner and loser.
Bowing to the political balance, Hattori Masanari respectfully handed over a pleading, and then said: "My lord, this excerpt is the result of the investigation of the minister's time, the reason for the burning of Mt. Hiei, the emperor and the shogun at the same time was Ashikaga Yoshiteru's desperate behavior, and the emperor has also died, which the minister learned from the mouths of the two ministers, Konoe Maehisa and Yamasha Kyotsu, who have followed the minister back to Heiankyo, and now live in the suburbs of the city, Honjoji Temple, which was originally an annex of the Pure Land Shinshu, and was not affected much in this war, Do you want to summon them? ”
Zhengheng didn't expect that everything was done by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but it was a decisive thing that he could do, and he ended up together, pulling everyone into hell, and said lightly: "In two days, should I see them, well, Kikutei Gonghiko is dead?" ”
Hattori Masanari replied, "Yes, my lord." According to Konoe Maehisa, in this incident, the right minister accompanied the emperor to his death calmly, and he was a first-class loyal minister, but the minister also found out that Hosokawa Fujitaka should still be alive and his whereabouts are unknown. ”
Hosokawa Fujitaka is still alive. Zheng Heng didn't expect it, he shook his head and said, "Let him go!" Bai Yunzhai, I asked you to investigate the matter clearly, whether the ancestors left orphans, and whether the Ming Yuan system still has children. ”
Tozawa Baiyunzhai had a gloomy face and replied: "Before the death of the ancestors, there were a son and four daughters, of which the first princess, the second princess, and the third princess died early. The first generation of heirs, the minister went to find the prince of Fushiminomiya, this Fushimi Palace was created by the son of Emperor Sogo Eihito, and the hereditary title of prince can inherit the throne of the emperor after the emperor's heir. Honganji Kenru also thought of this, and he killed many princes from Fushimi Palace, and the prince of the lineage was extinct, and the current prince of Fushimi Palace, Prince Kunisuke, and all five of his sons were killed. ”
Zhengheng immediately interrupted Tozawa Baiyunsai's words, and said in a tone that did not question: "Since the ancestor has become extinct, what I want to know is whether there are still anyone alive in Fushimi Palace, and whether there are still people who are qualified to come out and compete for the orthodox position. ”
Tozawa Baiyunsai's low tone was a little sad, and he said: "Among the lineages of Fushimi Palace, the sixth prince who is still alive is the sixth prince Zhendun, who became a monk in the fourteenth year of astronomy, he is already seventy-three years old, and there is also the princess who is promised to be married to the fourteenth generation of the Nijo family, the head of the Nijo family, Nijo Harura, and Princess Zhou Gong, the head of the monk's house. ”
Folk jokes call "the stallion of Fushiminomiya, the sow of the Fujiwara clan" to take its super fertility.
Masahiro didn't expect that there were still people from the Ming clan who could hide under the repeated killings of Honganji Temple, so he thought about it and said, "Please come as soon as possible, and at the same time gather the ministers scattered all over the country to elect a new emperor as soon as possible." ”
The four major princes in the history of later generations still have only Fushimi Palace, which represents the Jimei lineage, and Okura Palace and Tamagawa Palace, which represent the Daikakuji temple system of the old Southern Dynasty. Now Honganji Shōru has set up a beggar who he didn't know where to pick it up called Prince Oguranomiya and made him emperor. Zheng Heng naturally wanted to select one person from the Zhiming Faculty to become the new emperor to fight in the ring, and he very democratically invited the elders of the Zhiming Faculty out, and also pulled out the ministers who supported the Zhiming Faculty to discuss together.
Now the Zhiming Department and the Dajue Temple Department are about to become extinct, Prince Zhendunfa is seventy-two years old, and his two imperial daughters are married and the other is a monk, so it is impossible to select one or two monks from the family of Prince Zhendunfa's uncle who is a monk.
Zhengheng put the matter of selecting a new emperor on the heads of Prince Zhendunfa, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and a group of wandering ministers who were in trouble, and he still had a lot of things to do? He had to dispose of all the mess left behind by Honganji Temple.
Masahiro really hated Honganji for a while, and the Meiji Emperor he left behind was still a small mess that couldn't be smaller, compared to his mess that could only be compared between heaven and earth, and the problem of eating for five or six hundred thousand chaotic people in Yamashiro Country was the real big problem.
The strength of Zhengheng Shangluo was only fifty or sixty thousand people, and the food pressure brought by it was not very great, but he obviously did not anticipate that the outbreak of Honganji Xianru before his death would be so terrifying, causing a series of crises, the biggest of which was the problem of eating.
If the stomach is not solved, no problem can be solved, and the biggest gain in the battle of Zhengheng Shangluo is the opening of Ishiyama Honganji, and he has completely obtained the accumulation of Ishiyama Honganji, which is why he wants to treat the remnants of Honganji.
Now that Shangluo is about to succeed, he has seized Kyoto, but it has also put him under heavy food pressure, and the problem of feeding 500,000 or 600,000 people has pressed on his shoulders, making him breathless for a while, and if he does not solve the problem of eating as soon as possible, how can he talk about development and growth.
Zhengheng looked solemn, looked at the map spread on the desk, and was speechless for a long time. Although there was enough food in the original territory for 500,000 or 600,000 people to survive the disaster year, the days of transportation needed to be filled with food obtained from Ishiyama Honganji, so the next move of Date Shangluo's army was greatly reduced, and it had to stop the attack and turn to maintaining local order.
You must know that now Akechi Mitsuhide, Hatakeyama Takamasa, Suzuki Shigei and others are still entrenched in the three countries of Izumi, Kawachi, and Kii, and chaos is also frequent in Yamato, and at the same time, Wada Yumasa and Date Tanba Raiders in Tamba have not completely solved Tamba Province.
To restore order, food is needed, and to fill the stomach, food is needed. The food from Ishiyama Honganji can only be used up in an emergency, and once it runs out, it needs to be transported from the western country, but where does the food come from for Date Kamiraku's army, this point makes him troubled.
Zhengheng's fingers kept swiping on the map, the repeated wars in Kinai had already withered, where was there still food output, he was not without a way to solve the Akechi Mitsuhide, Hatakeyama Takamasa, Suzuki Shigei and Wada Yumasa and others, but once they were solved, he had to solve the problem of eating under their rule, which was the reason why he had been delayed. He would rather they still look around than solve it, all because of the food problem, and he originally wanted to solve the problem, because the food is not solved, it may cause a huge crisis.
Where is there still surplus food in?
Zheng Heng's hand pointed to the Guanyin Temple City, and his finger pointed at the Guanyin Temple City and knocked it twice, revealing a trace of essence in his eyes. Quickly took Minami Omi and used Minami Omi's land and grain to solve the food shortage in Kyoto, although the Rokkaku clan fell apart with the collapse of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Minami Omi did not experience war. Honda Masanobu also traveled to Hokuriku in Takashima Prefecture, without passing through Minami-Omi. The autumn grain has already been harvested, and there is still some surplus grain, and as long as the southern Omi River is quickly captured, the much-needed grain can be obtained.
The Rokkaku clan is the descendants of the Utagen clan Sasaki clan since the Kamakura period is the guardian of Minami Omi, and for hundreds of years they have been entrenched in Minami Omi, accumulating deep and powerful, and more than half of Minami Omi's land has fallen into the hands of the Rokkaku clan and its clansmen. The real situation is that the descendants of the Rokkaku clan have lost the credibility and prestige of maintaining Minami Omi, and have lost the core legions, which makes the Shuliu family want to share more power and territory, and at the same time, the local heroes have also joined the feast of sharing power and territory.
In that year, Miyoshi Chokei invaded Minami Omi, and after the defeat of Rokkaku Yoshiken, he had to live in seclusion, and the young eldest son Rokkaku Yoshiharu took the position of head of the family. Rokkaku Yoshiken originally wanted to use Ashikaga Yoshiki to endorse him, but what he didn't expect was that Ashikaga Yoshiki would be defeated so completely, which caused Nagata, Mikami, Ikeda, Kondo, Goto and Hirai and other important ministers to rebel one after another, and seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji father and son were alone in Kannonji Castle. The territory of the descendants was divided up by the officials united, and the domination of the Rokkaku clan over the territory was completely shaken.
Minami Omi and Shuliu are opposed, and at the same time, Kannonji Castle is opposed to the castles in the territory, this time is the weakest time for Minami Omi, as long as the army invades Minami Omi and reaches Kannonji Castle, due to the shaking of the retainers of the branch city, the Kannonji Castle, which is only garrisoned by 1,000 people, may fall within a few days.
After seizing Minami Omi, he could obtain much-needed food, pull the battle line to Mino Province, completely block the threat from the eastern country, and at the same time, he was able to give Honda Masanobu a large amount of vitality to contain Asai Nagamasa, who was holding down Kita Omi, so that Honda Masanobu could calmly fight against Echizen Asakura.
After the capture of Minami-Omi, it was also possible to divert some of the population pressure of the mountain city state, which was greatly beneficial to the restoration of order. You must know that although he has succeeded in going to Luo, the areas he can directly control in the region are only Settsu and Yamashiro, Tanba is still in chaos, and Izumi, Hanoi, and Kii are still enemies.
In the palace, Zhengheng summoned the generals, and after some discussion, the final decision was made. Among the 50,000 or 600,000 rebellious people in Kyoto, 50,000 young men were selected to join the army and take up the role of maintaining local order and serving in the army, and at the same time, 12,000 troops were divided into the army to take Kannonji Castle directly.
Zhengheng pointed to the castle of Kannonji and said: "If we want to gain a foothold in and solve the food problem, we must take the castle of Kannonji as quickly as possible, while the enemy is unprepared, and use the grain of Minami Omi as military food in preparation for us to fight against the enemy in the internal strife in Ki. ”
After a pause, Zhengheng said again: "This time to enter the Guanyin Temple City, I will be the main general, Miyazawa Heihachi, are you ready?" ”
Heihachi Miyazawa has been silent since he was denounced after the battle of Tsu and Nojo three years ago, and this time he deliberately entered the list of political arrangements and was at the bottom of the list, how did he know that political information asked him if he was ready, and replied, "Ready." ”
Zheng Heng looked at him, his expression was a little haggard, and said, "I think you're not ready yet?!" ”
Miyazawa Heihachi knew that this was his chance, and it was also the best opportunity, to attack Minami Omi, he was a native of Omi, familiar with the terrain, and once he missed the opportunity, he would not come again, and knelt on the ground and said: "Yes, the minister Miyazawa Heihachi is ready." ”
Zheng Heng smiled, and said: "It seems that you are ready, very good, I will appoint you as the vanguard, give you two thousand five hundred men, open the passage to Guanyin Temple City for me, and proclaim the glory of the Date family, I will hear the good news in five days." ”
Miyazawa Heihachi choked up and said, "Yes." (To be continued.) )
