Fifteen days later, the procession departed from Ueno Castle and headed for their respective destinations.

Yoshitoki Takagi had secretly found Ah Xiu ten days ago, and the two talked for nearly an hour, and no one knew what was going on in the room, and perhaps no one would be interested.

After Ashu and Agaki (Minohe Harumasa) left Ueno Castle, Takagi Yoshitoki also married Aqin, the daughter of Kanehiro, and changed the Miao character to Kanehiro, replacing the reclusive Kanehiro Kanehiro and becoming the head of the Hanhee family.

Takagi Yoshitoki's father, Takagi Masantoki, and other members of the clan also became retainers of the Kankawa family, and the Hanhee family, a famous family of Dewa, changed from a subordinate of the Tsugawa family to a "vassal", and entered the sequence of the retainers.

The send-off team parted ways after arriving at Komine Castle, the home city of Akechi Mitsuhide, and Mogami Yoshibo took Agaki to the Utsunomiya family, and the Nasu family and the Mibu family along the way did not dare to stop them after seeing the banner of the Tsugawa family, and the road was unimpeded.

Endo Kinobu and the others took Axiu to borrow from the territory of the Satake family next door, and then from the territory of the Chiba family to Kururi Castle, the home of the Satomi family.

Upon learning of the arrival of the Tsugawa family's send-off procession, the head of the Satomi family, Satomi Yoshiyo, personally went out of the city to greet him and received the visiting Kinobu Endo with the largest specifications.

Although the two families have been in contact for several years, this is the first time that such formal diplomatic contact has been made.

In addition to escorting Ahide to the Satomi family, Endo's mission also has the purpose of taking the opportunity of the marriage to deepen the diplomatic relationship between the Tsugawa family and the Satomi family. During the wedding, Endo Kinobu and Satomi Yoshiyao had a good conversation, and I don't know how good the relationship between the Satomi family and the Tsugawa family is.

And all of this is also Satomi Yoshiyao's little abacus, more for the Hojo family next door, or it also has the meaning of being a small wealthy family around. After the Tsugawa family unified the Okuwa, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Kanto region was basically under the wing of the Tsugawa family, and at this time, the Satomi family and the Tsugawa family were married, and the political meaning exuded was not too obvious.

........

In the past 20 years, a lot has happened in general.

In the Kyoto area, Ashikaga Yoshito, the shogun of Seiyi, summoned Miyoshi Chokei, the head of the Miyoshi family, who had already taken control of Kinai, at the residence of the shogunate and deacon Ise Sadataka, the government office. During this period, the public Jinshi Xianguang attempted to assassinate Miyoshi Changqing, but in the end it failed, and Jinshi Xianguang committed suicide on the spot.

Although the assassination failed, Miyoshi Chokei also received a certain degree of wounds, so he began to withdraw from Kyoto.

Tanba's countrymen, Kasai Motonari and Miyoshi Masakatsu, took the opportunity to mobilize 3,000 troops to march into Kyoto, trying to take advantage of Miyoshi Nagakei's absence to make a wave. However, he was surrounded by the 40,000 troops of the Miyoshi family's retainer Matsunaga Hidehuitong in Xiangguoji Temple, and was finally defeated.

The assassination failed and the reinforcements retreated, and Ashikaga Yoshito could only give up continuing to make enemies with Miyoshi Chokei and become close to Miyoshi Chokei. And the leader Hosokawa Harumoto also made peace with Miyoshi Nagakei and sent his eldest son Senimaru as a hostage, so Miyoshi, Hosokawa, and the shogunate entered a short honeymoon period.

Ashikaga Yoshito was able to return to Kyoto to live, but he had become a puppet of the Miyoshi family. Hosokawa Harumoto became a monk in Omi and then went to Wakasa Province to be sheltered by Wakasa Guardian Takeda Nobutoyo.

In the western region, the daimyo Ouchi Yoshitaka and the eldest son Ouchi Yoshizun died in the rebellion of the retainer Tao Longfang (Daning Temple Change), and the Western Kingdom Exploration Topic Ouchi family existed in name only, and the power of the family fell into the hands of Tao Longfang.

Tao Longfang supported the adopted son Ouchi Haruei (Ouchi Yoshicho), who was ushered from the Kyushu Otomo family, and then changed his name to Tao Qingxian. From the "unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom" to the actual ruler of the Western Giant Ouchi family in one fell swoop.

In the Kyushu region, Ryuzoji Takanobu, who had just married the widow of the head of the Ryuzoji clan and inherited the name of the clan, was also supported by his retainer Tsuchihashi Eiji after losing the backer of Ouchi Yoshitaka and fled to the territory of the Kamachi family in Chikugo Province.

Otomo Yoshijin, the head of the Otomo family and the successor to the family's name after the collapse of the second order, also reconciled with the Ouchi family after sending his half-brother to the Ouchi family, an old enemy, ending the long-term feud between the two families, and peace was restored to the Kitakyushu region.

In the near regions, Miyoshi Nagakei successfully suppressed the governor Hosokawa Harumoto and the seizing general Ashikaga Yoshito, becoming another hegemon in the near regions.

In the Tokaido region, the Tiger of Owari Oda Nobuhide died, and the position of governor of the Katsuhata Oda family was succeeded by Oda Dewa Nobunaga, and the Suruga Imagawa family took the opportunity to increase the offensive against Mikawa, intending to regain the territory previously occupied by the Oda family.

Uesugi Kenmasa completely lost control of the Kanto region, and Musashi fell into the hands of the Hojo family, and Uesugi Kenmasa retreated to Ueno, trying to use the strength of Ueno's people to fight against the Hojo family.

In the Hokuriku region, Hatakeyama Yoshisuke, the head of the Noto Hatakeyama family, was overturned by his retainers and lost control of his family.

As early as the 19th year of Astronomy, due to the confrontation between the retainer Yusa Sumitsu and Onai Sosadada, part of the main Nanao Castle was burned down, and Hatakeyama Yoshisuke gradually lost control of the retainer group (Noto Astronomical Rebellion).

In the end, the seven retainers of the Hatakeyama family, including Nagasuren, Weni Sosada, and Miyake Sohiro, set up Hatakeyama Yoshisuke. Hatakeyama Yoshisuke was forced to live in seclusion, giving up the position of family governor to his son Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, and serving as an afterman, but he has been reduced to a puppet.

In the Higashiyamado area, the Tsugawa family, the overlord of the Okuba, defeated Date and Ashina successively, completely unifying the two countries of Mutsu and Dewa, and became one of the best daimyo in the world. And by the shogunate shogun Ashikaga Yoshito received the position of "deputy general of the world", but was resigned by Tsugawa Soji, and finally received the Ashikaga shogun's family treasure "Dadian Taikoshi"!

The Grand Ceremony Taikoshi is a famous sword, a treasure of the Ashikaga family, one of the "five swords in the world".

The Shimono Utsunomiya family, after marrying the Tsugawa family, the Yuki family immediately made peace with the Utsunomiya family. Utsunomiya Hirotsuna and the important minister Yoshiga Gaoding used a trick to kill the head of the Nasu family next door, Nasu Gaozi.

Although Nasu is a high rank, he has always been disliked by his retainers because he is too strict with his retainers at home. Coupled with the provocation of the Utsunomiya family, and Nasu Gao's half-brother Nasu Ziyin was doing things in secret, and in the end, Nasu Gaozi was booby-trapped by his retainer Chimoto Zijun.

With the Yuuki family's initiative and the change of the Nasu family's governor, the Utsunomiya family's situation in Shimono has improved. Utsunomiya Hirotsuna personally wrote a 10,000-word thank you letter and sent it to Ueno Castle, the letter was sincere and full of gratitude, only the ten-year-old little kid had such a good writing, and was ignored by the Tsugawa family and the Utsunomiya family.

In short, such an ending is what both sides want to see.

......

The time soon came to the twenty-first year of astronomy, that is, in 1552 AD, and the recent regions were rarely settled, and the Kanto region made waves again.

The head of the Hojo family, who had already made his mark, attacked the Uesugi family in Yamauchi again, captured Ontake Castle, the head of the Kanto region, and approached Hirai Castle, the residence of Uesugi Kenmasa, and for a while the number of games in the Kanto region began to be unstable again.

At the same time, Uesugi Kenmasa hurriedly asked for help from the people around him, but .....
