Genji was a very capable emperor, and in order to solve the livelihood problem of the huge imperial family, he gave his children a new surname, that is, "the same origin as me, can be Genji", which is how the stunning light source in "The Tale of Genji" came about. Whenever there were too many heirs and they were so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, the emperors of later generations naturally followed suit, and the economic crisis was alleviated by giving them surnames, and a total of '20 first-class Genji' was formed. In order to distinguish these Genji, it is common to use the name given to the emperor as a prefix, for example, the branch of PK with the Taira clan is 'Kiyowa Genji', and after becoming famous, Kiyowa Genji became a specific reference to 'Genji'. Later, according to the geographical location, the Seiwa Genji was divided into the Ashikaga clan, the Spo clan, etc., with the Kawachi Genji as the main sect, and the Gen Yoshitsune and Minamoto Yoritomo brothers, who were famous for the 'Genpei War', were the direct lineage of the Yanzhi.

It can be said that most of the samurai nobles were descendants of Genji, and the Uesugi shogunate was no exception. Since the Fujiwara family, a courtier who has been in the palace for generations, can be a general, and the Toto-turtle Taira clan, who opened the tradition of the samurai family, have jumped out to fight for power, there is no reason why the descendants of the Genji, who are descendants of the emperor's bloodline, are willing to lie down. Therefore, the shogunate collapsed under Fujiwara Sho, starting the Genhei struggle for hegemony, and the Genji brothers killed each other, and the success was lost, so that they were almost wiped out. The Uesugi clan, who was hiding in Hitachi, ran thousands of miles from the sea, and succeeded in an ambush on the way to the Taira family, and instead of Genji, he stepped on the corpse of the Taira clan and successfully went to Luo. As for them running so far, the headquarters was not lost, and there were no yellow sparrows behind them, which very well illustrates the methods and strategies of the first Uesugi general.

In addition to the six provinces of Hitachi, Kamiso, Shimoso, and Anbo under the Motoka, and the six countries of Mutsu and Dewa to the north, the Uesugi clan accepted the five kingdoms of Echigo, Echichu, Hida, Noto, and Echizen, which originally belonged to the Genji, as well as the three kingdoms of Ueno, Shimono, and Kai that were stolen from the Taira clan, plus the Hojo clan, which occupied Musashi, Izu, and Sagami, was reduced to a retainer and ruled the Kanto and Tohoku regions at once, and with 7 million stone in his hand, he naturally won the emperor's 'trust', and the official worshiped the shogunate and formed the shogunate.

The shogun of the shogun, when Dayu first sent a fleet to him, was Uesugi Yoshiken, and he had three sons, the heir, the eldest son Yoshikatsu in Hitachi, the second son Kokai in the fiefdom of Hiroshi, and the fief of the third son Torayi in Echigo, and the rest of the region was still scattered. This time the visit was very different, and the two feudal daimyo who existed as activists of the shogunate unified their own territory, and another force appeared under the shogunate.

According to popular theory, the Changzong Department of the Four Kingdoms originated from Gong Yuejun, a descendant of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains. However, in just fifteen years, it was able to go from a small name to a powerful daimyo that unified the four countries, and its strength can be seen. He did not fight until he was twenty-two years old, and his father died in the same year, and he succeeded him as the governor of the family, and through various diplomatic lobbying, marriages, successions, alliances and broken contracts, he began the annexation rate of one family in a year, and cleaned up many powerful people on Shikoku Island one by one, and gradually encroached on the surrounding territories. This expansion caused the displeasure of the Uesugi shogunate, and almost at the same time as Motoya unified Shikoku, he sent a generalized raid on Shikoku.

Yuan Mi first showed weakness by diplomatic means and was willing to give up Yiyu in the west, and what the Uesugi family wanted was Awa and Zanzaki in the east, and they had to fight if they couldn't get along. As soon as Hiroshi got the will to conquer Shikoku and send troops, something happened in Kyushu, and the guardian Daiotomo Zhenyoshi fled to Kyoto to find the emperor to call the shots. The Otomo family is a descendant of the Fujiwara clan.,It's always been a good friend of the Emperor.,Previously had been firmly occupying the largest Hyuga country in Kyushu.,I didn't expect to be beaten by the feud Shimazu Minoru family.。 Now in order to restore the old collar, Otomo is willing to succeed Huyi as his adopted son as the next heir of the Otomo family. The shogunate had such a good excuse to control Kyushu, how could he let it go! So Hiroshi bargained with Motoya while bypassing Shikoku and heading to Kyushu.

The head of the Shimazu Minoru family in Kyushu, Hiadada, is rumored to be the illegitimate son of a certain head of the Genji family, so he is not interested in the Uesugi shogunate, and he also has three powerful younger brothers, and the four brothers are known as the 'strongest samurai in Kyushu', based on the three southern kingdoms, and dominate the whole of Kyushu.

As soon as Hiroshi stepped into the border of Kyushu, he received the news that his eldest brother, who was eighteen years older than him, had killed his father and seized power in Kyoto, and immediately made peace with the four Shimazu brothers, and married his sister Fumiki to Jiuzhong as a continuation, and accepted the three sons of Motoya as hostages, turned around and killed the eldest brother's men and horses, and took over the shogunate. Jiuzhong and Yuanmi took the opportunity to rectify the territory while showing goodwill to Guangyi and starting a marriage of their children. Fortunately, the two are quite tough, and so far there has been no heir succession issue that requires the shogunate to intervene, so the relationship between the three parties is relatively stable for the time being.

Of course, the shogunate did not act differently against the two feudal domains, and there was another reason, in the Owari province where Nakakyo was located, there was a descendant of the Taira clan, Shinda Shuichiro, who was rapidly rising.

Shuiichiro and Motoya are a little similar, they are both 'Himeruko', which means that she looks as beautiful as a woman. But Shuiichiro's absurd and uninhibited behavior is rude, and there is a huge difference between his own beautiful and soft appearance, but fortunately, he found a powerful old man, known as the 'national thief pit viper', Mino Daimyo Saito Minemaru. With the support of Lord Taishan, Shuiichiro defeated his younger brother and became the governor of the family and became the lord of Owari country. Later, due to the disagreement between his brother-in-law and his father-in-law, Shuiichiro rushed to the aid of his father-in-law, beheaded his uncle, and got a suicide note 'let the country go', controlling Mino and Mikawa in one fell swoop. The Nobi Plain is one of the three essential agricultural areas of Toei, and Shi Gao is more than a million, and he naturally becomes the most powerful daimyo on Honshu Island, and the shogunate's henchmen are in great trouble, and the balance between one country and two feudatories will be broken at any time.

***********************

As the mission deepened in Dongying, the newspaper published an article with a slightly immature writing, but straightforward and easy-to-understand small tofu cubes to introduce the local situation, and the author signed it as 'Xunmei'.

This article elaborates on some of the characteristics of the Dongying culture, such as the fact that the first emperor recorded in history coincided with the period when Xu Fu traveled east to Japan, and that they paid very, very much attention to the blood of the emperor, and intermarried with each other like the Chen dynasty in Annam, in order to ensure the purity of the imperial bloodline, and that blood, status, and status meant 'righteousness', and that all people had to strictly obey and obey the instructions of their superiors or seniors, and that they were to be extremely strict in their possession. In addition to the polytheistic belief of the Eight Million, the unique concept of resentful spirits has made Shintoism popular, and Buddhism is divided into many sects.

In such a cultural background, even if the imperial family seized the official position and political power, there would never be a situation of changing surnames like the Central Plains, and the emperor would still be "one family for all generations" regardless of whether he had real power or not, and his status would be detached from the authority of Shangluo. There were many monks' regimes, many monks and soldiers, and their strength was not inferior to that of the daimyō, and it was not uncommon for sects to be incompatible with each other due to their doctrines, and even to baptize each other's monasteries.

Fujiwara Keichi, who opened the government in the Kanto Plain, accepted the appointment of the imperial court to form the shogunate in order to manage the Kanto samurai group that had matured but was not controlled by the nobles, and replaced the emperor with the position of 'shogun', and became the leader of the entire imperial family. Note that the person who is generally called the 'leader' is enough to descend ten guilds in one fell swoop when he is alive, but his next generation generally does not have such great power, see those golden suns in Paektu Mountain. Under this dual structure, the local government and county secretaries who ruled the imperial court were constantly seized by the guards set up by the shogunate. was under the control of the Emperor, strictly speaking the Emperor, and inevitably antagonized itself to the Kanto Shogunate.

With so many forces confined to a long and narrow country, and the taxation of various checkpoints, it is obvious that there is a great obstacle to commerce, and it also explains why Kyushu and Shikoku were able to become independent vassals - Shimazu Minoru and Nagasuzobu controlled and opened Kagoshima and Okishima, and most of the economic base and commercial trade depended on the sea, so the other forces that relied on the sky for food were far inferior to the two. Comparable to these two daimyo was Nobuta of Nakyo, who was able to openly open ports and trade under the nose of the Uesugi shogunate, and his strength was already extraordinary.

'Xunmei' is Qiang Qiang's pen name, and her homework has passed the review for the first time and has been published, although the current editor-in-chief is a talkative queen mother, not a lady who is infinitely spoiled and strict with her, and it is enough to make her happy.

Gu Ci hugged his daughter and praised him.

"My brother helped." Qiang Qiang was not proud of his achievements, and happily confessed to Ah Sheng, who was silent with a smile.

"But how the article is organized and how it is written is your own credit, and it is so well written!"

"Why does my mother think my sister's essay is good?" It was Ah Shuang who asked the question, and he and Ah San's homework were also on the same topic, but Gu Ci didn't choose their essay.

Gu Ci smiled and prepared to hit his son, "What do you think is the best place to write?" ”

"We've got a lot of stuff."

Ahsan also nodded, "Each of our daimyo has been written!" ”

"Anything else?"

"There is every emperor," "Shogunate," "Fujiwara family!" ”

"But the title I gave was 'Dongying Literary Examination', not 'A Brief History', babies."

These two boys wrote more than 20 pages, basically summarizing the history of Dongying, which made Gu Ci very enjoyable, and also corrected the difference with his previous life, that is, he was too far from the topic.

"Besides, what is published in the newspaper does not need advanced knowledge and evidence, it only needs to have reference significance for the general public, and it is good to understand the exotic customs. You can show what you have written, but you can show it to Professor Gao. ”

Professor Gao's name is Gao Dai, who is the head of the history department of the University of Literature and Art, and in addition to explaining the history of China, he also sorts out the national history of various countries in the country together with the Honglu Temple and the library.

"In the end, Qiang Qiang wrote his own conclusion, you have written so much, what do you think of the Dongying people?"

"They're so good, they're always doing strange things!" The two boys have already accepted their mother's comments, but Ah Shuang, who doesn't like to read, was obviously tortured and hurriedly poured bitter water.

"How?"

"The Fujiwara shogunate split in the later period, and the Hei family had a good relationship with them, but as a result, Shangluo twice, he didn't stay to help consolidate power, but instead stimulated the Gen family and directly killed Fujiwara Shoichi."

"They didn't get anything good themselves, and the Heping family was beaten to the death, and finally Uesugi picked peaches." Ahsan helped to add.

"Then why did they leave?" Gu Ci and Qiang Qiang asked curiously in unison.

"I don't know! Let's just say it's inexplicable! Ah Shuang solemnly said that he had been physically and mentally devastated.

Four pairs of very similar eyes looked at Ah Sheng, who was not speaking next to him, and the twins and Qiang Qiang both inherited Gu Ci's big peach blossom eyes, which looked particularly watery.

Ah Sheng coughed and tried to uphold the serious appearance, "The Privy Council thinks that because most of the soldiers are farmers, they have to rush back before the farm is busy......" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "So their wars basically broke out in the winter and summer during the agricultural slack." ”

The three children suddenly realized, and Gu Ci was also stunned, Dongying is still in the era when there is no regular army? That means that a character like Oda Nobunaga did not appear, is this a good thing or a bad thing......
