At the end of August, Kitabatake Kizokumasa led 5,000 men to Yamato Province, leaving 5,000 men to guard the borders. His relatives, the Kobe family and the Harumi clan of Asaaki County under the Kobe family, also gathered troops and faintly restrained the Nagano family and the main family.

This matter originally had little to do with me, and the power of the Haruya clan was inferior to that of the Akabori clan, so they couldn't stop me at all. However, then three people came from Komaki Mountain, one was Ishitani Yorichen, one was Gamo Hide's younger brother and the head of the Aochi family, and the other was Naomasa Tsuna. They sent an order from Nobunaga to make peace with the Chikusa family, and then to join the combined forces of the military and go to Yamato to support.

This order made even me, a person who thinks I know history well, feel a mess in my head. How did the Omi Gamo family and the main family get involved? What happened to Yamato? Why do you want to get involved with Ise Province and my Kira family? After detailed explanations by the three of them, I figured out what happened.

Everything is the fault of the Kitabatake family.

It all started with Kofukuji Temple. Kofukuji Temple is one of the two major forces of the Yamato Kingdom, and the monks and believers in the country are in opposition to the people of the country under the command of the Chun Daisha. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kofukuji Temple supported the Northern Dynasties, while the Chun Yue Taisha supported the Southern Dynasties, which held the three artifacts, and was the general nest of the Southern Dynasties. Later, after the fall of the Southern Dynasty, Kofukuji overtook the Chun Yue Taisha and inherited the position of Yamato guardian. And the guardianship is contested by the two gates of Kofukuji Temple, the first courtyard and the master of the Mahayana temple.

The so-called door is the temple family that has the position of the general leader in the major sects of Buddhism, which is generally held by the royal family or nobles; The auxiliary title of the gate is the courtyard family, which is held by the samurai or the countryman.

Ichi-Seoin and Mahayana-in are the two major gates of this Fa Xiangzong, and the Ichi-Chengin Gate is inherited by the Konoe family of Konoe and Takaji, and the current successor is Kakukei, whose mother Keijuin was formerly known as Konoe Weiko, is the sister of the current Sekihaku Konoe Maehisa, who gave birth to him and the current shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so after he became a monk, as the son of the Konoe family, inherited the Ichi-Chengin gate; The head of the Ichibanin is the fifteen-year-old head of the Tsutsui family, Tsutsui Fujimasa Shunkei. When he became a monk and received ordination, like Jueqing, he took the great monk Du Zongqing as the ordination teacher, and he also received the word "Shunqing" and took the Dharma name Shunqing.

The Mahayana temple is inherited by the nine families, one and two of the nine families, and the current master is the younger brother of the former Guan Bai Kujo Zhitong Xun Yuan, who is the 22nd generation of the Mahayana temple gate, and concurrently serves as the head of the sect of the Dharma Xiang, and also serves as the 182nd generation of Xingfuji Temple; The head of the courtyard is the head of the ancient city of the courtyard and the ancient city of Yinrong.

The Mahayana temple was the 20th generation of the first generation of the gate and the 180th generation of Bedang, and the son of the former Seki Hakujo Kaneyo, who used to dominate almost the entire Yamato Kingdom, but it has now declined. As the previous Sekihaku, Kujo Uemichi was so poor that he resigned from his position and went to Settsu to live in seclusion and concentrate on the study of "The Tale of Genji". As a gatekeeper, I can't control any territory in the first place, and everything depends on the courtyard...... However, the ancient city family, which is the courtyard family, is not angry, and the family is backward, and its status is even inferior to the ten city families, which were once dominated by the Tsutsui family and are one of the four Yamato families, so they can only swing between the Matsunaga and Tsutsui families, and choose the stronger one to follow.

Of course, the Gushi family is not willing to decline, and the head of the family, Gushi Zhaoyin, has been waiting for the opportunity.

On April 29, Tsutsui Fujimasa Shunkei's later servant and uncle Tsutsui Shunmasa died. Seeing that Tsutsui Shunqing was young, the Furuichi family immediately defected from the Tsutsui family and took refuge in Matsunaga Hide, who was in Tawen Mountain Castle. With the support of Matsunaga Shu, Furuichi Shoyin and the Ten Ichichin families, another major force split from the Ichijoin Temple, united and decided to work together to defeat the Tsutsui family and jointly control the power of Kofukuji Temple. To this end, he also contacted Kitabatake, the head of the East Gate of Kofukuji Temple and the younger brother of Kitabatake, and asked the Kitabatake family to send troops to aid at the expense of Yamato, a country that the Kitabatake family had repeatedly contested. As a result, the Kitabatake family sent 5,000 troops to Yamato Province.

The matter involves Matsunaga Shu, who held himself hostage, and Shunkei Tsutsui, who supported his younger brother, and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru was naturally of particular concern. When the Kitabatake family sent 5,000 troops, he couldn't sit still, and quickly sent out a number of imperial letters, and Matsunaga Shu started a secret war centered on Kofukuji Temple.

The Rokkaku family and the Oda family also received the Imperial Interior Letter. But at this time, the Rokkaku father and son were still hiding in the territory of the Gamo family, so naturally they could not organize the Hao family to support the Tsutsui family. In order to alleviate the situation in Minami Omi, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who had returned to Kannonji Temple Castle the year before last, went out again to lobby the wealthy clans who were hostile to the Rokkaku. The Goto family gave the shogun face, but asked the Gamo family to help solve the crisis of the kinship Ise Chikusa family.

So there was the arrival of the three of them, and Nobunaga's order to send troops.

The position of the shogun is very strong, and Nobunaga's orders cannot be disobeyed, so I can only make peace with the Sensa family, and the upcoming Mie County is immediately lost 20,000 koku.

But the worst thing is still the father and son of Chikusa Tadaji, at least they think it is. After a lot of hard work, I contacted the Asami County of Axiaxi, Shirase, and Takamatsu, and waited for the moment when the cards were about to be shuffled, and it seemed that I could rely on the Kira family to get back the territory, but the Gamo family took away the cards, and I didn't have to play anymore.

Subsequently, they went to Omi and secretly took refuge in the Rokkaku family, who did not agree with the Goto family.

At the suggestion of my retainers, I personally went out with standing and sent troops to Yamato Province together with Gamo, Aochi, Goto, and the Chikusa family.

In this way, you can repay the shogun's kindness last time, and at the same time honor the martial name of your family in front of the various forces in Kinai. That's what everyone thinks. To be honest, I don't understand that it's okay for these wealthy clans to be sometimes allied and sometimes hostile, but the speed and naturalness of the transformation makes me stunned. Also, for the sake of the so-called samurai honor and the righteousness of the world in everyone's hearts, I was surprised that they could participate in such a completely unrelated war across borders.

Thinking about it, maybe that's really the case, is this how the Onin Rebellion started soon? Moreover, the names of the imperial court and the generals were indeed very useful among the wealthy clans in Kinai, and during the confrontation between the northern and southern dynasties and the Onin Rebellion, the two countries that fought the most fiercely were Yamato and Ise.

And what surprised me even more was that the deputy general of the Tsutsui family of Kofukuji Temple was actually the wise Mitsuhide who was famous in later generations!

I saw him at the first joint military meeting, and there were only ten people in attendance, the general of the Tsutsui family, fifteen-year-old Tsutsui Shunkei, the retainer of the Ashikaga family and the deputy general of the coalition army, Akechi Mitsuhide, the third general of Uto in Uto Prefecture, Sawabo Mitsumitsu, Akiyama Kyoke, and Yoshino Minbu, and the Kamo Kenhide, Shigetsuna Aochi, Goto Takaji, Senkusa Takaki, and I who came to support, and Akechi Mitsuhide presided over instead of Tsutsui Shunkei.

I was in a state of surprise when I heard his self-name, and I kept looking at the man. He is now thirty-seven years old, with a plump cheek and a graceful bearing, and his words are unhurried, his eyes are generally gentle, and his appearance is very good. He is really a famous cultural person.

After the death of Saito Michizo, he took refuge in the Wakasa Takeda family. The current head of the Takeda family, Takeda Yoshitomi, is his own cousin in terms of relationship. Later, due to the relationship between Takeda Yoshitsu and Yoshiki's sister, he became a member of the Ashikaga family and served as a general.

Akechi Mitsuhide and the Tsutsui family have an extremely close relationship. His younger brother Akechi is religious, and is currently the adopted son of Tsutsui Shunkei's deceased uncle Tsutsui Shunmasa; Sadako, the younger sister of his main wife, Kikiko, will become the main room of Tsutsui Shunkei in the future. In this battle, as a representative of General Yoshiki, he was able to serve as the deputy general of the coalition forces, and presided over the war in place of the Tsutsui family.

"In this joint battle, our army has a total of 10,000, and the main force is the 3,000 army of the Tsutsui family, and the 3,000 army of the three highnesses of Yutuo County; There were about 4,000 troops from the Furuichi family and the 10 city family, and there were 2,000 people from the country with the Hokeo as the guideline, and 5,000 reinforcements from the Kitabatake family who were guarded by Ise, a total of 11,000 people. The two sides are roughly evenly matched. However, we have the imperial decree of the general's family to crusade against the party, and we have the reputation of the Tsutsui family's Yamato guardian, and I hope that your highnesses will work together to show the righteousness of the world......" Akechi Mitsuhide narrated the situation of the two sides.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask for advice." I asked suddenly.

"Your Highness Kira, please speak." Interrupted from speaking, there was no uncertainty on Akechi Mitsuhide's face.

"As far as I know, the Ancient City Family and the Ten City Family are currently under the Matsunaga Show, has His Royal Highness Wise considered the situation of the Matsunaga Family's troops?" I asked deliberately.

I already have the answer to this question in my heart. Matsunaga Shu is still the shogunate's judge, and it will be next year to completely break with General Yoshiteri. This time, the Tsutsui family has a righteous reputation, and the general has also issued a royal decree, so he will not kill the sword himself.

When I asked, I was just curious about Akechi Mitsuhide, and I deliberately tried to say something.

"His Highness Kira's worries are indeed very reasonable. However, His Royal Highness Kira has come from afar, so he must not know much about the situation in. Although Matsunaga Xiu was rebellious, he was not so blatantly disobedient as to His Royal Highness. So don't worry. He said, looking around the tent, and nodded to me.
