And Hosokawa Fujitaka's mother-in-law as the stepfamily of the Numata family is very embarrassing, she is the princess of the imperial court Matsuki family, her father is the Matsuki Nayan Soto who died two years ago, since marrying Numata Kokane, who is older than him, he has been blamed for giving birth to a daughter, this woman is also very defeated and repeatedly defeated, at the end of last year, because of the birth of the seventh daughter, and was blamed by her husband and hit hard, has been born in the Tiantai temple Jingu Temple in Lingying Mountain, the law name Chong'an Temple.

Because of her unexpected move caused new strife in the family, Numata Hikaru was angry and also moved to Shingon Tanida Temple to become a monk, and finally was persuaded to come back, but the anger in his heart was not smooth, hiding in his own Buddhist hall and not asking about everything, taking this opportunity to several older sons of the Numata family, he wanted to take the opportunity to drive out a few brothers and sisters who were out of the house.

Numata Mitsukane's side room, Mrs. Awaya, and her five siblings were read out, including Numata Heimitsu and Numata Yumitsu brothers, and they also had a younger brother Ajali who had just turned ten years old, the eldest sister married Muto Shunhide, a wealthy family in Wakasa Tsuruga Bay, and a younger sister Tianwen was born in the ninth year, and she should reach the age of Jilu in a year.

Although this family can leave the family and rely on Mrs. Awaya's younger brother, the head of the Awaya family will survive for a long time, but this is not a long-term thing, the Numata family's life is uncomfortable, and the Awaya family has not much surplus food because of a falling out with the main family, so Numata Hiramitsu will take his younger brother Yumitsu to try to find Hosokawa Fujitaka for a referral opportunity.

Although the life under the fence was a bit difficult, Mrs. Ayaya also had two adult men, and her son-in-law was also a native of Wakasa Province, so she could more or less get some subsidies from her brother and son-in-law. But the other lady is much more miserable. She was already 24 years younger than Mitsukane Numata. Even younger than his husband's four older sons and daughters.

As a result, none of the children she gave birth to were adults, the eldest daughter was only a year older than Lady Ayaya's youngest son, Ajari, and she was still pregnant with a child about to give birth, this woman was reluctant to leave the family for anything, and her brother Itami Mamoru Kamoru also strongly supported his sister.

Both the Itami clan and the Ayaya clan were descendants of the Kai Gen clan and the Takeda clan, and they were all retainers of the Takeda clan of the clan for generations, and they migrated to Wakasa Province with the main family when the Wakasa Takeda clan was separated more than 100 years ago. Masashi Itami and Katsuhisa Awaya are also the old ministers of the current Wakasa Takeda family, but the relationship between these two families and the main Wakasa Takeda family is very delicate.

Mrs. Itami didn't want to go, because Numata Mitsukan had always been very obsessed with this side room half his age, and at the same time, he was also very partial to her children, and even named Mrs. Itami's eldest son's young name Kumagawa Maru, which shows that this old governor is also a person with a clear head, no wonder his sons are bent on driving others away, and sooner or later something will happen to such a father.

The biggest trouble is actually Numata Mitsukane, who is the shopkeeper, even if he doesn't count the soon-to-be-born child of Mrs. Yimi, he has a total of two main rooms before and after. There are two side chambers and a total of twenty-five children. Among them, there are eight men and seventeen women, who are really capable of giving birth, and compared to him, those families who often have to worry about the severance of their children are really ashamed to commit suicide by caesarean section.

With such a large family, food and clothing are indispensable, and ordinary people's coarse tea and light rice are not enough, but it is conceivable why Numata Mitsunaga, the eldest son of the Numata family, wants to make people, just with his family's 6,000 stone stones, he has to bear the military service of 500 people, how can he have the money to serve a group of half-brothers and sisters, and he didn't see that his family's sons-in-law and daughters were born.

Of course, Kira Yoshitoki didn't care about these trivial things, he asked this question just to pave the way for the following topics, so with a sly smile on his face, Kira Yoshitoki covered his face and asked in his pure Kyoto accent that had not gone away: "How many times did Hosokawaden visit your father-in-law's house last year?" ”

"Uh...... Visited twice. The corners of Hosokawa's eyes twitched, and he realized that it was not good for Kira Yoshitoki to ask him this question.

"Then did you go to have a private meeting with Mrs. Ling?" The story of nineteen-year-old Hosokawa Fujitaka and nine-year-old Lori, even after a year of silence, is still so hot when it comes up again, the fire of gossip in Kira Yoshitoshi is burning, and it is wonderful to be able to take a look at the black history of Sengoku celebrities.

“…… It's not called a private meeting, is it? It is a dignified meeting, accompanied by a nurse and a maid! A large tic-tac-toe appeared on Hosokawa's head.

"Did you enter Madame Ling's boudoir? Has Mrs. Ling grown taller? Isn't that cute? Do you have ...... Do you have? You know! Kira Yoshitoki's voice suddenly became erratic, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Hmm...... Ahem! Well! Yamamoto Tokiyuki clenched his fist with one hand and coughed fiercely at his mouth, so that Kira Yoshitoki immediately sat up straight, then got up and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty still has important things to do, so I will retire first." ”

"The master has worked hard, pay attention to rest!" Kira Yoshitoki watched Yamamoto Kansuke away with a warm smile, and then grabbed Hosokawa Fujitaka before standing up to say goodbye and whispered, "Have you had it at all?" ”

“…… Nope! Not really! Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly broke free of his sleeves and fled, looking at his hastily departing figure, Kira Yoshitoki's face flashed with a smile, "It seems that this dead Lolita is not invulnerable!" ”

When Kira Yoshitoki continued to strengthen himself, Dongguo was not idle, Hojo Yasu was busy extinguishing Musashi's antagonistic mood, Imagawa Yoshimoto got Mikawa Mamoru to go back to continue his unification, only Takeda Harunobu was still attacking, he relied on Sanada Yutaka's strategy to continuously adjust several wealthy clans in North Shinano, and then led his own 5,000 troops to attack Koji-gun again and the local wealthy clan of Toucheng, not only defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo, but also made Shinano's wealthy clan waver.

At the end of February, the Takeda family's army raided Katsubi Castle, the home of the Murakami family, and Murakami Yoshikiyo was caught off guard while he was busy farming, and finally had to burn down the castle tower and then escape from Katsubi Castle with more than 200 retinue samurai to Shiota Castle to continue the battle of the trapped beasts.

It's a pity that the samurai of the Murakami family scattered the spring ploughing in the territory, and they couldn't form a joint force for a while, and they were swept away by Takeda Harunobu and turned into a water dog. Yantian Castle didn't last long before it fell again. Murakami Yoshikiyo had to flee to Zenkoji Temple in the Kawanakashima area to wait. He gathered the fleeing troops of Kita-Shinano and fled to Echigo in early April to ask Nagao Keitora for help.

Also at the beginning of February, Yoshiken Miyoshi killed his father-in-law Yoshihiro Kume in a gun battle, and the Awa Civil War called the Kume War ended, and after the execution of the rebels such as the rebellious father-in-law Yoshihiro Kume, Yoshiken Miyoshi separated from Mrs. Masamoto Kume, and then married Major General Okamoto Akimoto, the widow of Hosokawa Mochitaka, as his stepfamily, so that he became the adoptive father of Hosokawa Mochitaka's son Hosokawa Shinyuki. The veritable lord of Awa Province, he then spent another month to tidy up Shikoku's lair, and landed in with the Shikoku army.

However, this time the goal became Tanba, Miyoshi Yoshiken was the general general, Matsunaga Nagayori was the vanguard, and 15,000 troops were commanded to attack Tanba country, Hatano Harumi, Naito Kunisada, Kasai Motonari, and Miyoshi Masakatsu gathered the people of Tanba to resist, and the two sides fought fiercely for several days and killed a river of blood, and finally the Yagi Castle of the Naito family was captured by the Miyoshi army, and the Tamba guardian Naito Kunisada was killed. Xiangxi Motosei and Miyoshi Masatsu surrendered, and the Tanba Kingdom was initially pacified.

Then Miyoshi Chokei ordered Matsunaga Nagayori to marry Naito Kunisada's daughter. And inherited the name of the Naito family and changed his name to Naito Sokatsu, Ashikaga Yoshito, who was sitting in Kyoto, immediately felt the great pressure, he had the heart to support Tanba's war, but he really didn't have much power in his hands, and he used Kira Yoshito? Miyoshi Changqing, who played an army of 20,000 people, hasn't moved yet, does he dare?

So Ashikaga Yoshito remembered his crooked tricks and continued to carry out assassinations, but this time the Miyoshi family learned a lesson and defended tightly, and several failed assassinations not only did not hurt Miyoshi Nagakei but angered him, and he was really tired of this disobedient general, and he was determined to launch a new attack on Yamashiro Province.

There was no pressure at the time of Kira Yoshi, Omi had not used swords for more than a year, the impact of the war had weakened a lot, and because of the rise of Sakamoto Castle, the two counties of Shiga and Takashima had absorbed many immigrants from the surrounding areas, and the population had increased considerably.

The construction of Sakamoto's new town has entered a new bottleneck, and the total population of the townspeople has been increasing slightly, but the construction speed of the castle town has far exceeded the growth rate of the townspeople, and with the smooth implementation of the Rakushi order, there was an explosive growth trend that has fallen back, and the increase rate of the townspeople has dropped to a stable range, and there will be some new craftsmen joining every month, but it is not enough to connect Sakamoto Castle with the newly built Katata Castle.

As Sakamoto's development entered a bottleneck period, Kira Yoshitoki found that his development had also entered a bottleneck period, controlling the water transportation power of the Yodo River Basin and Lake Biwa, and at the same time controlling the territory of Shiga and Takashima Prefectures, and the power was more than ten times greater than that of Mikawa Country.

"How can the family expand?" Just like his uncle's middle court said, the Asai family leader of Kita-Omi can't be touched, Asai Hisashi and the Asakura family are allies, and he married his sister to Saito Michizo's eldest son, Saito Yoshiryu, as the main room, and he himself took refuge in the Rokkaku family, which is a character that looks inconspicuous but is actually very powerful.

Don't look at Kira Yoshishi's current bullish coaxing, in fact, the Rokkaku family has long been dissatisfied with him, Shiga and Takashima counties are the territory of the Rokkaku family, Shiga County is Yamaoka Keiyuki, and Takashima County is a branch of his Sasaki Rokkaku family, originally just lent to the general for refuge, why was he suddenly thrown to the Kira family by the general as if he was giving away? The Rokkaku family expressed their dissatisfaction, especially when they saw that Sakamoto Castle was on fire, so they were even more dissatisfied.

It's hard to say whether the Rokkaku family acquiesced in Yamaoka Keiyuki's actions, and Asai Hisamasa just had a little unpleasantness with him, and he was hating him at this time, if there was a border conflict, the Rokkaku family would be happy to see the Kira family unlucky, and the Asakura family, an ally of the Asai family, had nothing to do with the Kira family, that is to say, when Kira Yoshishi moved Asai Hisasa, Asakura Muneshi would not hesitate to send troops to beat Kira Yoshishi.

Asakura Zongdi, that's the ancestor of the Asakura family, the god of war in Hokuriku, the status is the same as the future god of the army, and this ancestor is also the commander of Tsuruga County, with money and food in his hands and eight thousand wolf-like sons, all of whom are veterans who have been baptized one by one, plus the seven thousand troops of Ono County, which is controlled by the Asakura family, together with the 15,000 army.

This is the elite of the Asakura family who defeated 300,000 Kaga in the nine-headed dragon river back then, either hastily recruiting peasant soldiers, fighting them or dying, it is really not worth offending a group of enemies for that bit of territory at all, especially the Asakura family in Echizen is difficult to deal with, and the Asakura family who is still alive in Asakura is difficult to multiply by two, and he is not the Great Demon King of Oda, dare to play big? So no matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.

The South Omi Rokkaku family automatically skipped it.,Yamashiro Country's big bunch of imperial materials are also ignored.,Wakasa Country is the dish of the Asakura family.,Fighting there is no different from directly starting a war with the Asakura family.,And then look around and find that you really have no place to develop.,Is it just a little lord?

Kira Yoshishi felt that he had to make a choice, and he was never allowed to go back to this point, only by continuing to move forward could he live well in the Warring States, and the Miyoshi family dominated in history, and was blocked because of his appearance, but things are not so simple, only to die a ten rivers and a survival for the Miyoshi family, it can only be regarded as a gradual stoppage of the upward trend and even a broken muscle and bones, Miyoshi Changqing also threatened to retaliate against him, he didn't say this, just say it, and he will definitely not be able to run.

With the end of the battle in Tanba, Kira's family seems to feel that the big war is coming, Kira Yoshishi issued a new army summoning order, the current Kira army has a total of 7,000 people, and the combat power has more than doubled compared to a year and a half ago, but the disadvantage in numbers still cannot be made up, so Kira Yoshishi transferred 1,000 people with good quality from the ronin, so as to gather 8,000 troops and start intensive training to prepare for the upcoming war.

At the beginning of March, Kira Yoshitoki went to Kyoto to meet Ashikaga Yoshito, and the two of them discussed and decided to invite Hosokawa Harumoto back to continue in Kyoto, since he left Kyoto to stay with the Rokkaku family, the Rokkaku family has been somewhat alienated from the shogunate, which is not a good sign, and his conspiracy with Ashikaga Yoshito needs to be activated.

So there was Odate Harumitsu personally went to Kannonji Castle to invite Hosokawa Harumoto back to Kyoto, Hosokawa Harumoto held the shelf for a long time before agreeing to return to Kyoto, in fact, he had long wanted to go back, but it was a little bit faceless, and Ashikaga Yoshito was too disrespectful to him, so that his self-esteem was hurt, and this time Ashikaga Yoshito came to invite him, which he regarded as a great victory in the war between the general and the governor, so he returned to Kyoto with great fanfare with his entourage.

At this time, the defense force of Kyoto had changed from 2,000 to 5,000, and the difference in military strength between Ashikaga Yoshito and Hosokawa Haru was 1,000 people, but all the elites in Ashikaga Yoshito's hands were dressed in the armor of the Kira family, and the shogunate was fully trained by the public, and the strength of the shogunate and the management side were evenly matched.

Of course, now Ashikaga Yoshito has a request for him, so he let Hosokawa Harumoto take charge of the defense of Kyoto, Hosokawa Harumoto is back to the left hand side of the general, which makes him happy, and the annoying Kira Yoshitoki is also obedient to take back his Sakamoto Castle as a peasant, and it seems that everything is developing in the beautiful direction that Hosokawa Harumoto yearns for.
