Chapter 028: The Last Rise of the Shogunate and the Origin of the Warring States
In 1491 AD, although Ashikaga Yoshisho's cousin Ashikaga Yoshinori did not deal well with Ashikaga Yoshisho (the reason will be later), they were all members of the Ashikaga family, and they all had the blood of a shogun. Although the bloodline is of little use to birds, it still sounds awesome. The Rokkaku family is so disobedient, as long as it is the new boss of the shogunate, I think he will go to the trouble of the Rokkaku family, the reason is very simple: Liwei!
Ashikaga Yoshinori does not have his cousin's mental illness, and it is estimated that the kidneys are not bad, and the young man has ideals and IQ. On April 21, 1491, the young man issued his first order after the pro-government (why is it a pro-government later): All the generals in the world who can be mobilized listen to me, from now on, immediately send troops, the target - Omi, Rokkaku Korai. As for the reason, damn it needs a reason to deal with a counter-revolutionary like Kamejumaru? Kamejumaru can't help it, let's bite the bullet, the shogunate appointed the head of the management Hosokawa Masato to be the Omi guardian to find the stubble of Rokkaku Takayori, and of course, there are other daimyo who are ready to find fault with the corresponding generals. On March 29, 1492, Kamejumaru took 4,000 people and the mixed troops of the shogunate, Oda Toshiding, and Urakami Norimune to do a fight in Chikusegawara, Aichi River, because the gap in strength was too big, Kamejumaru was blown up, don't ask me how much the strength of the mixed army is, I checked a lot of information and didn't find it, but the gap is very large, in terms of the scale of the war at that time, it is estimated that the number of mixed troops is 15,000, Kamejumaru did not have the luck of Yoshi's classmates later, Moreover, his two important ministers, Yamanuchi Masuna and Yamauchi Masatosuma Itenaka, died in battle. What if you can't beat the front? Let's fight guerrillas, so Kamejumaru went to the mountains of Koga to find a certain dean.
It seems that Ashikaga Yoshinori is going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he will not leave if he stays in Minami Omi. Kamejumaru didn't want to fight guerrilla for the rest of his life, he wanted to be disgusted and disgusting Ashikaga Yoshitoru, so he found a certain dean again, "I'm going to find Ashikaga Yoshinori that stupid trouble." The dean took a group of students to do practice again, it is estimated that he had the experience of the first practice, and this time the effect was very good, but Ashikaga Yoshinori was very unhappy, he was very annoyed, he wanted to solve his troubles, but he didn't want to drink and play with women, he wanted Kamejumaru's **. On October 16, 1492, the general Ashikaga Yoshinori issued a general attack order against the Rokkaku family, and the troops who participated in the battle included the Spo family), the Akamatsu family, the Takeda family, the Yamana family, the Isshiki family, and the Yasutomi family of Hosokawa Masamoto: it can be said that everything that can come, basically come, the shogunate has not had such a feeling of commanding the world's heroes for a long time, and Ashikaga Yoshinori can be said to be so happy. As a result, the hexagonal family of Kamejumaru collapsed in an instant in front of such a overwhelming formation of Mount Tai, and was defeated on the same day. On November 15, Kamejumaru found that his turtle shell could not stay in the whole Minami-Omi and went into exile in Ise, and Ashikaga Yoshinori succeeded in blood shame and saved his face for the shogunate. After getting Kamejumaru, Ashikaga Yoshinori forced (or possibly voluntarily) a man named Rokkaku to be Rokkaku Masayoru (Kamejumaru's cousin, remember?). Yoshiko was the guardian of Omi and left.
Ashikaga Yoshinori who regained face was very cool, his brother, his uncle, his father, and his grandfather did not do what he did, he restored his power as a part of the general, and on December 14, Ashikaga Yoshinori returned to Beijing in triumph to accept the welcome of the generals and the common people. In the face of this radiant general and his series of major victories, the common people seem to see the birth of a new dynasty, and at the same time see hope for the future......
Speaking of hope, there is another person who also thinks he sees his own hope this year: in 1492, a down-and-out Italian captain named Christopher Columbus, with the donation of the King of Spain, led four small boats, after 70 days of wind and rain, finally arrived in a strange sea on October 12. Here, they landed on several small islands and saw some strange-looking natives. Columbus calculated the voyage and "accurately" came to a conclusion: he had already sailed to India. At this time, his mind was filled with images of boats full of spices and tea, and he was lying on a sedan chair and pointing to a large group of natives. Here he sees his own hope. Although history ruthlessly shattered this dream of Columbus, it gave hope to the whole of Europe and the world. Time will ultimately determine that this ordinary and unique day will become an immortal moment in human history.
The general saw the hope of his own revival, and it was very refreshing. If you are cool, some people are unhappy, this time it is the leader Hosokawa Masamoto, this person is awesome, to start with the rebellion of Yingren civilization a long time ago, there is so much nonsense, I think it is better to talk about the beginning of the Warring States first, after all, it is unavoidable.
At the time of the Onin Civilization Rebellion, the supreme leader of Japan was the emperor (nonsense), and the supreme leader of Japan was Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. At that time, Japan was still relatively peaceful, and if you were too peaceful, there would be people who didn't want to be peaceful, and there was a chance that it would not be peaceful.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa is 29 years old and has no son, hey, Ashikaga Yoshimasa should be a Li Yu-style leader, he is not very interested in politics, but he likes cultural and artistic activities, often exchanges his learning experience with people in the literary and artistic circles, and also spreads scandals with people in the entertainment industry. No son, does not mean that there is no successor, as we said earlier, in order to avoid fratricidal incidents, generally except for the heir, the heirs have to become monks, so Ashikaga Yoshimasa has a younger brother Ashikaga Yoshimi who is a monk. So one day the elder brother Yoshimasa talked to Yishi, saying that let the younger brother inherit the throne to stabilize the world, Yishi pretended not to agree at first and said that he wanted to serve the Buddha for the rest of his life, and the traditional "three lets and then accept it", and finally was moved by the "righteousness", and became the successor, Ashikaga Yoshimasa abdicated.
Originally, this matter was over, just like Duan Yu's father's brother Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu's uncle Duan Zhengqing in Tianlong Babu, the lives of Ashikaga Yoshimi and Ashikaga Yoshimasa are developing slowly and harmoniously, the younger brother is very cool to be a general, and the elder brother is very cool to drink tea with the emperor. But a year after Ashikaga Yoshimi became a general, Ashikaga Yoshishi's sister-in-law, Tomiko Hino, gave birth to a boy, he was Ashikaga Yoshino, a boy with kidney deficiency. Women, after all, their hearts are towards their sons, and this Hino Tomiko has a strong desire for power, she was already unhappy with her husband's abdication, and now that she has a son, isn't she going to turn the sky upside down? Yes, she's just going to turn the sky upside down. Ashikaga Yoshimasa may not have had much interest in politics when he didn't have a son, but now he has a son, no. So the two of them talked to the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimi together.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa hoped that his younger brother would abide by the primogeniture system and return the post of shogun to his younger nephew in the future. Ashikaga Yoshinori didn't speak. Tomiko Hino hopes that the uncle will go back to the temple to recite the scriptures. Ashikaga Yoshimi said, "Shut up! ”
In other words, the Ashikaga brothers married the Hino sisters, and the relationship between the two sides should be good, but it is nonsense to talk about anything in the face of realistic rights.
The two sides have been talking for two years, but they can't talk. Well, since we can't talk about it, let's start fighting!
Because it was the struggle of the general's family, most of the forces in the country made a statement, strengthened their position, and sent troops to Shangluo (into Beijing) one after another. Among them, the one who supported the shogun's family was headed by the head of the shogunate, Yamana Soquan, known as the Western Army; In support of the designation of a shogun's successor, the Eastern Army was led by the former shogunate governor Hosokawa Katsumoto. The number of its Eastern Army was 161,500, the Western Army was 116,000, and the two armies totaled nearly 300,000, and it was not easy for Little Japan to find 300,000 people to fight in groups at that time (even later Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not have so many people in Korea), gathered in Kyoto, and fought near this bustling city. Thus, this great upheaval, which devastated the lives of hundreds of people and destroyed countless cultures, began.
Warring states!
