Chapter 102: The Great Collapse

Many mountains can be climbed. It is naturally impossible for a large group of people to go here, but one or two people are no problem.

In this way, the ministries were not organized among themselves, and the ministries began to fall apart internally.

At this time, the chaotic army, more than 100,000 people, is really not as good as a dozen pigs.

Without him, man is smarter than a pig.

Pigs don't think about it, they don't need to run past enemies, they just need to run past their teammates.

Therefore, the various battles between each other are like crabs in a jar, and a group of crabs grab each other's legs, and no one can escape.

On the whole, there is still a slight cooperation between the various ministries of the Hosokawa family, but between the other ministries, even the most basic trust is lacking.

After the collapse of the Western Army, Wang Ying did not immediately pursue it. Rather, the armies were immediately put in order.

A fierce battle lasted more than an hour.

There was not a small number of combat attrition in the various units, and the number of dead in battle was not large, but there were not many wounded.

At the same time, the departments were slightly reorganized.

Wang Ying assigned the task and ordered Ashikaga Yoshimasa to take the men and horses of the Yamana family, the Spo family, and the Hatakeyama family to pursue the miscellaneous armies, while Wang Ying led the men and horses of the Ming army headquarters to chase and kill the people of the Hosokawa headquarters.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers divided into two roads, one north and one south, and chased after them.

Wang Ying chased the Hosokawa family very rhythmically, one tight and one loose, one tight and one loose, just like walking a dog, and the battalions and cavalry of the Ming army attacked one after another.

Anyway, at this time, the Hosokawa family's army didn't even have the mentality to look back. And don't fight reflexively.

But Ashikaga Yoshimasa's side is a different style of painting.

To tell the truth, let Ashikaga Yoshimasa pursue, Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't dare to chase too hard, after all, they didn't have the confidence of the Ming army. Once the chase is fierce, forcing the families to join forces to fight back, it will be enough for the Ashikaga Yoshimasa Headquarters and the following three families to eat a pot.

But Ashikaga Yoshimasa also had his own methods.

After all, he has also been a shogun for many years, and he is not without a little authority. This authority is much worse than Hosokawa Katsumoto's Jiwei.

But now Hosokawa Katsumoto is a dead man.

Naturally, I can't compete with him for influence.

So Ashikaga Yoshimasa released his own flag samurai one by one.

Bargain with these daimyos.

But the one who didn't want to surrender first was Masahara Hatakeyama.

Masacho Hatakeyama also has his own ideas. None of them. First of all, Masahara Hatakeyama had a relationship with Ashikaga Yoshimasa before, but if it wasn't for Ashikaga Yoshimasa, he rebelled and gave up on him.

Masacho Hatakeyama will not defect to Hosokawa Katsumoto either.

Now that the situation is like this, Hatakeyama Masaga has naturally forgotten everything before Ashikaga Yoshimasa. He quickly defected to Ashikaga Yoshimasa's family in order to avoid being liquidated after the war.

You must know that Hatakeyama Masaca and Hatakeyama Yoshimasa have been fighting for the inheritance of the Hatakeyama family for several years, and they have already played a dog's brain.

If the Hatakeyama governor does not find a good way to retreat, he falls into the hands of Hatakeyama Yoshiyoshi, and the Hatakeyama governor is naturally worse than death.

Hatakeyama Masacho made the right choice, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa, in order to set an example, seems to have forgotten that Hatakeyama Masasaac set fire to a corner of Kyoto Castle.

It is promised that Hatakeyama Yoshishi will inherit the territory of the Hatakeyama family, but the chief of Hatakeyama will also receive a share of the territory from the Hosokawa family's domain.

It can be regarded as resolving the contradiction between the two sides.

As a result, Hatakeyama Masashi defected. It also caused a chain reaction, and the Kyogoku family and the Takeda family surrendered one after another under the lenient conditions of Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

As a result, the more Ashikaga Yoshimasa pursues the more men and horses he pursues.

It's like a snowball.

Fight all the way until the evening.

Wang Ying withdrew his troops at this time.

On the battlefield, the Western Army died more than 30,000 soldiers, it can be said that the corpses were all over the field, and I don't know how many escaped, Ashikaga Yoshimasa collected tens of thousands of surrendered troops.

The momentum is better than it was at the beginning.

Wang Ying repaired in Guanyuan for two days and got two good news.

The first reinforcements have arrived.

It was not reinforcements from Beijing, but the king of the servants made a quick decision and transferred the guards of the kings, a total of more than 15,000 people in three guards. In addition, thousands of garrisons were drawn from Sado Island, forming an army of 20,000 men, and they sailed north from Nagasaki first, and now they are almost there.

This is the first piece of good news.

The second piece of good news is a retreat to the city of Kyoto.

Hosokawa Katsumoto's son, Hosokawa Masato was young, and his family was divided because of Hosokawa Katsumoto's death, and each family vied to offer loyalty to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

The army near Kyoto Castle scattered with a bang.

That is, after this battle, there is no need to fight.

You can ride directly into Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was overjoyed, and during this period of time he was so busy that he was too busy to meet with daimyo from all over the world, to pacify and check and balance, and to allocate land, etc.

It is to establish the authority of the government based on profit and righteousness.

Intended for the future.

For him, such an ending could not have been more perfect.

It's just that now Wang Ying is very distressed.

Without him, Wang Ying never thought of the current situation.

Before the start of the war, the conditions between Wang Ying and Ashikaga Yoshimasa were not unnegotiated. In other words, at that time, everyone thought that it was a very distant thing to defeat Hosokawa Katsumoto. At least after the Ming reinforcements arrived.

Where to think, it depends on the First World War.

This situation made Wang Ying fall into passivity.

Before, it was Ashikaga Yoshimasa who begged Wang Ying, but now the initiative is in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

How can Wang Ying not be distressed?

However, Ashikaga Yoshimasa is also a clear person.

He understood that now he was able to deter Japan, not by relying on his banner warriors, but by the strength of the Ming army, and he could never offend the Ming army.

Therefore, it is almost rectified

, immediately came to see Wang Ying, and immediately agreed to Daming to mine Shijian silver mine. He even generously allowed the Ming Dynasty to mine gold and silver ore anywhere in Japan, but he had to share the profits with the Ashikaga family.

The benefits obtained, the Ashikaga family should have thirty percent, and the Ming family could have seventy percent.

Wang Ying also understands that the reason why Ashikaga Yoshitsu is so generous is not that he has no heart, but that he has too many eyes.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is fundamentally generous to others.

Before that, the Ashikaga family could not even fully control the nearest Gyeonggi region of Japan, and only had some influence on the farther places.

After this war, Japan's most prosperous and fertile Gyeonggi region was almost white.

The strength of the Ashikaga family has been greatly damaged.

Although each family has withdrawn from the Gyeonggi region. But the Ashikaga family is still empty-handed, just an empty shogun.

\ \\

Of course. This is not without its benefits to the Ashikaga family.

Before the Kanto region was not developed, the Gyeonggi Plain was the most suitable plain area for cultivation in Japan. As long as Ashikaga Yoshimasa is in full control of this area, he is the lord of the Ashikaga family.

But are there silver mines in the Gyeonggi area?

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is not impressed, but if there are even those who do, most of the places where gold and silver are produced in Japan are in the land of the major names.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa uses the influence of his Ashikaga family and the force of the Ming Dynasty. Suppressing these daimyos, even among all the gains, only thirty percent, was enough for the Ashikaga family to suppress all parts of Japan.

For Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the most important thing is the rule of the Ashikaga family over Japan, as for the future of Japan or something? What's that?

Ashikaga Yoshimasa dares to be generous, how can Wang Ying dare not take it.

After reaching a compromise on this point, the combined forces of the two sides, numbering about 100,000, marched south along the Biwa River and headed straight for Kyoto Castle.

Along the way, there was no resistance.

The ministries surrendered one after another.

Even the people who supported Ashikaga Yoshimi sold Ashikaga Yoshito.

However, to maintain the most basic respect for the Ashikaga family, it is only to put Ashikaga Yoshishi under house arrest in Kyoto. Don't dare to do anything to Ashikaga Yoshimi.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshimi still has the blood of the Ashikaga family in his body.

Soon, Wang Ying met Kyoto, Japan.

After seeing Kyoto, Japan, Wang Ying suddenly felt a sense of cordiality in his heart, because all this was very familiar to him. Because in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of Tang Dynasty building was not rare in the Ming Dynasty.

In many places, the county yachengchi was built in the Tang Dynasty. Even the Ming Dynasty specifically discussed the differences between the Tang Dynasty family and the Ming Dynasty architecture.

Therefore, Wang Ying is not too unfamiliar with these architectural styles.

It's just that I suddenly saw it in a foreign country, but I was a little surprised. Almost instantly, Wang Ying felt a trace of homesickness in her heart. But soon, Wang Ying suppressed the slightest throbbing in his heart, because he was going to do the last thing in Japan.
