The Inoue family, one of the powerful clans of the former Yasuki Kingdom, was on par with the Mori family at the time, but later, he was defeated and surrendered by Mori Moto's father, Mori Hiromoto, and became a retainer of the Mori family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And in the era of Mori Motosa, because Inoue Motokane, the governor of the Inoue family, chose to support Mori Motosho when the Mori family was in turmoil, and at the same time continued to expand the influence and influence of the family with his excellent financial ability, coupled with his attitude of not taking Mori Motoshi more and more, which eventually attracted the killing intent of Motosa.

So in 1550, the entire Inoue family, except for Inoue's father Mitsukane Inoue, who was pardoned because of his advanced age, and the Inoue Motokane's uncle Mitsutoshi Inoue, who were loyal to Mori Motoshi, were all executed, and even Inoue's skills were preserved. And Mori Moto also took advantage of this matter and asked Fukuhara Sadatoshi to submit a blood letter and swear allegiance to the two hundred and thirty-eight samurai in the following family.

Although the Inoue family still has the division retained by Mitsutoshi Inoue, since then, the entire Inoue family has not been able to enter the power layer of the Maori family.

It is said that the reason why Maori Yuan wiped out the Inoue family was that in addition to Inoue's domineering attitude, he was also suspected of avenging his past revenge.

After Mori Moto's father, Mori Hiromoto, gave up the position of family governor to his eldest son, Mori Xingyuan, he moved to Sarukake Castle with the young Mori Yuan. And after Mori Hiromoto died of illness, coupled with the fact that Mori Moto's biological mother also died of illness earlier, Mori Yuan finally inherited the territory of Sarukake Castle 300 kan.

But in 1507, Hosokawa Masamoto, the overlord of, was assassinated by his sons, leading to the Great Rebellion in Kyoto. At that time, the governor of the Ouchi family, Ouchi Yoshiko, saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately surrounded the general Ashikaga Yoshisai who had taken refuge in him and sent troops to Shangluo. At this time, Mori Komoto also went out with the army as a retainer of the Ouchi family.

And when Mori Kogen was fighting with the Ouchi family and the Hosokawa family in, Inoue Motomori, who was also the governor of the Inoue family at the time and was also a teacher of Mori Moto, took the opportunity to drive Mori Mototo out of Sarukake Castle and took Sarukake Castle for himself.

Although Inoue Motomori died violently soon after, Sarukake Castle was returned to Mori Motosho by those who were dissatisfied with his brutal practices. But obviously, the experience of that time is not something that can be easily forgotten.

And the Honjo family, it's a little interesting to say, it was originally a powerful and wealthy family in Iwami Province, but after the Niko family infiltrated the power into Iwami Province, it became a retainer of the Niko family. However, in 1540, when Niko Harumhisa attacked the Mori family Yoshida-gun's mountain castle, he was defeated by the support of the Ouchi family, so the governor of the Honjo family, Honjo Tsunemitsu, immediately changed his position and threw himself into the arms of the Ouchi family.

It's just that just 3 years later, the war of Yoshitaka Ouchi, the governor of the Ouchi family, also lost the war against the Niko family, so Honjo Tsunemitsu chose to return to the Niko family. I have to say that the wealthy families of this era are so undisciplined, but who let them own the territory? Facts have proved that under this kind of manor system, unless a powerful force can continue to be strong, there is no cohesion at all.

Ahem, off topic.

In 1556, the Maori family, who defeated the Ouchi family in Itsukushima, sent an army to Omori Ginzan. However, he was defeated by Tsunemitsu of the main castle stationed in Iwami, which is also known as the collapse of Shinobihara. However, in 1562, due to the death of Niko Harumu, and the temptation of Mori Moto's promise to take the position of lord of Iwami Castle, Honjo Tsunemitsu surrendered to the Mori family.

It's a pity that in the end, this guy was assassinated by Maori Yuan. The reason for the assassination is said to be that Mori Moto was jealous of Honjo Tsunemitsu's martial arts and was suspicious of his loyalty. However, strictly speaking, it seems that the Maori family, who themselves are constantly rebelling among Ouchi and Niko, is not qualified to say this.

Perhaps, the real reason is actually because in the ninja collapse, including the death of the son of the Shishido Takashi family and many retainers, it was the reason why Mori Mototo's final killing of Honjo Tsunemitsu. But who knows the truth of the matter? Anyway, until now, no one will come to the trouble of Maori Yuan because of this matter.

Hawkers, speaking of which, Toji Kenren and the two are not familiar with the two surnames Inoue and Honjo, after all, when the Maori family and the Otomo family fought for the first time, the Inoue family had already been wiped out. And the Honjo family, although it has shown some reputation because it once defeated the Mori family, Toji Kan has only heard of the two of them a little.

However, this did not prevent the two from knowing the former status of the two families from the words of Maori Motoshi, because this kind of thing could not deceive people, as long as they officially joined the two clans, they would naturally know everything through the words of other retainers. And most importantly, Mao Liyuan gave the two of them 50,000 stone and 20,000 stone respectively. This is a real reward, much more attractive than other gold, silver, family treasures, etc.

And Mao Li Yuan also gave his name to the two of them, of course, although this kind of thing is an honor for the retainers, but the two of them are obviously not moved by this. But Mao Liyuan put his upper character behind the word given to them by the father and son of Otomo Zonglin in the past, which has to be said to be a very sincere thing.

The character in Toji Kanren comes from Otomo Sorin's father, Otomo Yoshikan, and the town character of Yoshihiro Zhenxin comes from Otomo Sorin. The Sorin of Otomo Sorin is the Dharma name after becoming a monk, and the original name was Otomo Yoshizhen.

Seeing the silence of the two, Mao Liyuan knew that they were moved. In fact, many people like to express silence when they are not good at refusing when making choices. Seeing this, Mao Liyuan said again, "As long as the two of you agree, I promise that as long as the Otomo family has no intention of rebelling, then the family will definitely treat it well." And the Toji family and the Yoshihiro family, the main family will also ensure their status in Bungo. ”

Well, Mori Yuan has said everything about this, what else can Toji Kenren and Yoshihiro Zhenli say? If you don't agree, it's really too much to save face for Maori Yuan. And in fact, if Maori Yuan threatens the Otomo family governor Otomo Motoyoshi at this time by not suppressing the Otomo family, then this hairy boy who has just inherited the family governor and is only 12 years old will definitely agree.

But Maori Yuan did not do this, but hoped that they would change their careers. Although they also knew that Maori Yuan did this because they were worried that if he used the strong one, then even if the two of them changed their ranks, they might not really help the Maori family, and they might even use some means at some point. But Mao Liyuan's sincere approach still moved the two of them very much.

Therefore, after the two of them pondered for a while, they directly bowed down in front of Maori Yuanji, "Subordinates Inoue Yuanjian and Bencheng Yuanzhen have seen the lord!" ”
