Chapter Thirty-Four: Troubled Times Begin
Let's talk about the situation of the Ouchi family first, naturalized people like the Ouchi family are mainly concentrated in Kansai (relatively close to the Asian continent), are more good at seafaring trade (there are also pirates), like adventure and new things, and insist on opening up to the outside world (not reform and opening up).
Because of regional differences, each country is accustomed to dividing its country into parts. The United States is the eastern and western parts, the Goryeo sticks are the southern and northern sticks, and the polar bear Russia is the European part of the Asian part.
We Chinese are southerners and northerners (Shanghainese and countrymen in the eyes of Shanghainese). In Japan, it is Kanto and Kansai, and Kanto refers to the east of Suzuka Pass in Tokaido, Fukiseki in Higashiyamado, and Aiyuguan in Hokuriku Province (these are all some kind of places).
I don't know), in a broad sense, it refers to the area east of the first line of Enoe, Shinano, and Echigo. Kanto is also called
"Dongguo", which corresponds to it
"Western Country". Pull it back, the Ouchi family, which has excellent economic acumen and a pioneering spirit, was already the guardian of the northern part of Kyushu Island and the westernmost four countries of Honshu Island before the Warring States Period, which is nothing, and the most awesome thing about the Ouchi family is that he is engaged in maritime trade with the Ming Dynasty.
How awesome this is, everyone can see if you look at the middle school textbooks that China has implemented a policy at this time - a sea ban, Zhu Yuanzhang said
"Sheets are not allowed to enter the sea". Therefore, there are not many countries in the world that can conduct large-scale trade with the Ming Dynasty, because Japan and Korea have a good relationship with China (the sticks were still the godsons of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and as for Little Japan, I learned that Little Japan does not seem to have really been a vassal to China's Central Dynasty).
So in order to show my **** magnanimity, my country agrees with these
"Hua foreign barbarians" (the emperor thought so, in the eyes of the Chinese emperor was probably a provincial governor) trade.
But there were many restrictions on this trade: it had to be official, smugglers like Wang Zhi had to be shot and shot, they had to be traded at designated places, and the quantity and price of goods were in accordance with the Ming law (the state constitution of the Ming dynasty).
。。 Such a setting will definitely not meet people's ever-expanding interest needs, and the information I learned is this, China seems to have made a lot of money in porcelain, tea, etc. (so later, the Sino-British trade before the war has always been the British at a loss, and then the British don't want to suffer the result.
。。 )。 Smuggling, more and more smugglers are active on the ocean (part-time pirates), as a big feudal force, it always feels bad to do some shady things behind the scenes (not everyone has the pure hooligan consciousness of Uncle Dao).
So some forces applied to the Ming Dynasty government for trade (mainly by bribing officials), and the emperor, who worked day and night, didn't think much about it (it's not worth thinking about it), and saw that the barbarians were pitiful, so he approved it.
Such a power would be granted a license (paperwork) to trade legally with China, which would allow them to conduct additional trade with China, known as the right to trade (the emperor's imperial power was once again taken away and wiped his ass).
When the Warring States broke out, there were four forces that wiped the emperor's face in this way, and two of them were bald, regardless of these, and the other two were one of the Ouchi family, and the other was the Hosokawa family.
I know why Hosokawa Katsumoto had a bad premonition when he saw the army of the Ouchi family. From an economic point of view, two monopolies in the same industry are generally not friends, the Ouchi family has long wanted to do the Hosokawa family, the Onin Rebellion began with the Ouchi family was very enthusiastic, every day to show off the muscles, recruited tens of thousands of troops (this is a relatively terrible number), came by boat, the transmission of information in that era was very problematic, I don't know if it was not paid attention or too confident, the Eastern Army did not formulate any contingency plan for the actions of the Ouchi family in the long two months that the Ouchi family was floating at sea, As a result, the arrival of the Ouchi family and the more than 30,000 troops it had absorbed immediately led to a great defeat of the eastern army.
It can be said that the Ouchi family is still more energetic in slashing people. Hosokawa Katsumoto's army was chased and cut down, and his nominal boss Ashikaga Yoshimi panicked (the Hosokawa family supported the general's younger brother, and the mountain people supported the kidney-deficient boy), and Ashikaga Yoshimi suddenly defected to the Western Army (presumably thinking that the bandit was unreliable).
The reason for this incident was that Hosokawa Katsumoto had previously banished a confidant of the Eastern Army faction next to Ashikaga Yoshimi, and Ashikaga Yoshimi summoned him back.
This is a danger signal, it means that under the intervention of the Ouchi family, Ashikaga Yoshimi wavered in the war, and began to sprout the idea of peace, which is obviously what the leader Hosokawa Katsumoto does not want to see, damn it, you are brothers, you are uncles and nephews, how can you talk well, after the fight, say it, shave your head and admit your mistake (Shibata Katsuie) is over.
But what do we do? This battle must be fought, and after painstaking persuasion, Hosokawa Katsumoto temporarily stabilized the boss (the boss himself probably thinks what if the Western Army gives him a Hongmen banquet).
。 Stabilizing Ashikaga Yoshishi meant that the war would continue. On September 13, the Western Army attacked the Muromachi Imperial Palace (the home of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimi) and Hosokawa Katsumoto's residence, and occupied the Imperial Palace at the same time (the emperor said that you are arguing with you, it is my business, and I will go for tea).
On September 18, the Eastern Army broke the Western Army in Dongyancang, and the famous temple Nanchan Temple was burned down (the bald people estimated that they did not do good things in peacetime).
On September 20, the Emperor of the Back Garden became a monk. This title is very funny, it is true that the emperor of the back garden is not the emperor of the back garden, and the comrades in the back garden feel that their home is occupied, and they are very unhappy that they have no place to drink tea and watch the play, so they have to go to the temple to stay.
。 On October 3, the eastern and western armies fought at Xiangguoji Temple in Kyoto, and the western army attacked Xiangguoji Temple, and the eastern army Takeda Nobuyoshi fled.
This Takeda Nobuyoshi is a wealthy family in the Wakasa area, and he only showed his face in the long river of history, and he didn't even have a sense of existence.
But history will remember his family, because another distant relative with his surname will forever remember that surname on the monuments of history.
Kai Tiger - Shingen Takeda. Kyoto was a bustling metropolis with a lot of entertainment at the time of Heian Rule, but now it has long been ruined, there are many military projects, and many people have fled, so how can we survive in this troubled world?
。。 Kill or be killed. Do you really have to choose? This is what the opening of troubled times looks like. This happened in 1467 A.D., the beginning of the Warring States.
What I would like to say here is that a small incident occurred during this year, and in 1467, Suruga guarded Imagawa Yoshitada Kamiraku and joined the camp of the Eastern Army.
The Imagawa family was a close branch of the Ashikaga shogunate (Imagawa Yoshimoto had been pretending to be forced to feel that he was of noble blood), and in order to win him over, the eastern army married Kitagawa Temple, the daughter of the wealthy Ise family, to him as a side room.
Kitagawa Hall had a younger brother named Ise Shinkuro Nagaji, who was serving as the shogunate's introducer in Kyoto, that is, an intermediary figure when the local princes visited the shogun.
Originally, this was a very fat messenger, but the face of the shogunate in the war was swept away, not to mention the position of an introducer, so the situation of the Ise Shinkuro Naga clan has also become uncertain.
At this time, his sister's marriage gave him the opportunity to leave Kyoto and travel to Suruga the following year, to be guarded by Suruga, who was the same family as the Ashikaga shogun, away from the center of the power struggle.
Be a good little white-collar worker and don't die - this is probably what he thought at the time. But no one would have thought that this 35-year-old middle-aged man would become the first dazzling star among the Warring States Heroes more than ten years later.
And future generations will also firmly remember his other thunderous name - Hojo Sakumo. The first Sengoku daimyo in the history of the Warring States period!
