Many years ago, he also made fun of Ashikaga Yoshiki's calligraphy is not writing but slashing people with a knife, at first glance, the font is full of sharpness, people have a sense of refreshing shock, look at the time for a long time and will feel that this word is written like this, a little bit hard, too steep and too urgent, it can never be regarded as a masterpiece of calligraphy masters, just an amateur who usually writes better.

I didn't have the heart to appreciate his handwriting, so after a careful look, I chuckled: "His Royal Highness the General really agreed!" ”

Langoka was keenly aware of the change in the title used by Kira Yoshishi, and hurriedly asked, "What does His Highness mean?" ”

Kira Yoshitoki slowly stood up, looked down at the retainers of the Great Hiroma, held up the imperial book and read aloud: "I hereby order Ashikaga Kamisaburo Yoshitoki to enter the Ashikaga Lianzhi people, with the Ashikaga Miao character called the clan of the Kanto Ashikaga clan, for the shogunate to guard the screen of the eastern country must not ignore the marquis, in order to continue to lead the Kanto all affairs can not be violated, still the same, Eiroku 4th year October 24, Ashikaga Minister Yoshiki. ”

Suddenly, a dull thunder exploded, and the rumbling thunder seemed to come from Takamagahara's will, and the words of Kira Yoshitoki followed, and the cold wind blew into the great wide room, and the samurai who were sitting in the precarious position couldn't help but shudder, and people suddenly realized that the sky had become obscure and unclear before they knew it, and the north wind was howling mixed with endless chill and a little snowflake to bring the cold of winter.

"Boom!"

A bright thunderbolt fell to illuminate the gloomy sky, and a little crystal snowflake fell with the cold wind, and many of the ministers in the Great Hiroma looked at Kira Yoshitoki with horror and stood solemnly holding up the imperial religion, looking at him with a face full of astonishment and incredulity, and those eyes looked at him as if they were wondering if he was human or not.

"The public square. Winter thunder falls. This is the will of the gods and Buddhas to the Kanto region! I'm a co-owner in Kanto! Hondoshi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Gentlemen, hurry up and meet His Highness!" ”

"Ahh The samurai were in a panicked posture. Waving his sleeves and bowing: "I'll wait to meet His Royal Highness!" I wish the Ashikaga family a long time in martial arts! ”

Wise Mitsuhide didn't expect him to have the effect of saying the law, and was frightened by this thunder and hurriedly bowed and saluted, the ancients in the Middle Ages both Chinese and foreign had a little superstitious color, for example, when the ancient Chinese monarch was born, it was either red light and purple mist or auspicious rain from the sky, and there was a similar saying in ancient Japan, for example, the oil of the Ashikaga Son's had two falling, one fell on his shoulder, and the other fell on the handle and stopped.

This was a superstitious era of worship of gods and Buddhas. Believing that the people of destiny can save troubled times and calm the world, the birth of the Ashikaga family is in line with people's good vision of praying for the pacification of troubled times, and the words and deeds of the town government and even personal preferences have quietly become a samurai fashion, and the samurai of Kanto regard this as the embodiment of Kyoto culture to a certain extent.

Therefore, when the winter thunder, which has not been seen for decades, suddenly exploded, and it happened to appear just in time for him to finish speaking, if it is not thought of by people as some mysterious power at work, then there will be ghosts, needless to say that the Kanto samurai present are convinced of the miraculous power of the town government, even Akechi Mitsuhide and the shogunate mission that followed him also firmly believe that this must be the will of the gods and Buddhas.

Langgang stood up and excitedly encouraged: "That divine thunder is the will of the gods and Buddhas, this is the general's order, and it is the destiny of heaven!" Gentlemen cheer up. Offer your loyalty as a courtier! ”

Kira Yoshitoki stared at the thick clouds outside Ohiroma with the Gokyo book in his hand, and it was the first snowfall since the beginning of winter in Edo Castle. The muffled thunder on the horizon appeared and disappeared until the congratulatory sound gradually faded away, and he was silent for a moment and sighed secretly: "Is this the fate of God or ...... The Heguandong has been entrusted with a heavy task for hundreds of millions of years, is it really urged by the mandate of heaven? ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru once again raised the family for Kira Yoshitoki, and added the news of the Ashikaga family to the Ashikaga Shogun's family and the people spread throughout the Kanto region overnight, along with this news came the rumor that the winter thunder suddenly fell that day, and the peasants who were busy working outside Edo Castle knew a lot about it, and when they heard that it was the thunder of the Gongfang Imperial Palace, they all left their men and knelt down and folded their hands like gods and Buddhas to pray, hoping that this Gongfang Highness could calm the war in Kanto for more than 150 years.

This news was like a bolt from the blue for the samurai who were still stubbornly fighting against the Kira family, Ashikaga Fujimasa was captured and claustrophobic on Sado Island, which had already made them lose their righteous reputation, and the Kira family's change to the Ashikaga family meant that the shogunate supported his actions in the Kanto region, and now that the Kanto samurai had even narrower options, many samurai began to wonder what the point of their persistence was.

Hitachi Province Ota Castle Ohiroma was solemn, and the retainers of the spectrum who sat in a row all looked like mournful concubines, listless like frosted eggplants, and Satake Yoshiaki said in frustration: "Change the word Ashikaga, and hold an enthronement ceremony in Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace in three months...... It seems that the family still made a mistake! The public side who can't help me put my Satake family in a dilemma. ”

The corners of Wada Zhaowei's mouth curled slightly, and he grinned and said: "It's not too late for the lord to take the opportunity to change the past, for the sake of the future, you should stop the precipice and go to Edo to meet His Royal Highness the Duke to ask for forgiveness, lest you wait until His Royal Highness the Duke ascends the throne, and then do something to my Satake family, then there will be a crisis of changing the extinction of the clan!" The lord must not want to be the last generation governor of the Satake family! ”

"Sweep the department to help bold! Is it the duty of a courtier to talk about the governor in vain? The young Satake Yoshishige is not tall but not powerful, wide-eyed and scolded Hetian Zhaowei, who has a lot of power to speak in the family of the spectrum, and he actually reprimanded this time-tested old minister and did not dare to raise his head.

Now it's just the first roar of the milk tiger, and it can't talk about much deterrence, at least it can't threaten the will of several important ministers of the spectrum, and the fundamental line saw Hetian Zhao's annoyed and angry behavior, and he hurriedly smiled and played a round: "The original intention of sweeping the department is not to be disrespectful to the lord, my Satake family is thriving day by day under the governance of the lord, but sometimes it is still necessary to be flexible, for example, the current situation is very unfavorable to my Satake family, the difference between the acquiescence and full support of His Royal Highness the Shogunate, I think you must understand!" ”

"Yes! Gentlemen, don't forget the lessons of the Yuki Battle 120 years ago, as well as the just-concluded Yuki War, which is an important revelation! Wada Akira was not very happy about the humming, and other samurai were scolded in front of him like this, maybe he left the table and went home to prepare for a rebellion, and he was able to endure it mainly because the task assigned by the Ashikaga family was very important.

Yoshishige Satake said dissatisfiedly: "Yuki fights! How to mention him again! Isn't that the old yellow calendar more than a hundred years ago? And what ...... he did?"

"Huh! It's not right for Shaodian to say this, my Kanto samurai is not a generation who forgets his ancestors, and there is a famous saying in the Ming Kingdom, the past does not forget the teacher of the future, what he said is that he cannot forget the past. Neto interjected to interrupt Satake's complaints, and it was only then that the young samurai came out of his complacent.

Satake Yoshishige was keenly aware that the retainers of the Spectrum were very unimpressed with his statement, and he was still young and did not understand the impact of the Eternal Sharing War and the Battle of Yuki on the Kanto samurai, which almost changed the collective will of the entire Kanto samurai group, and indirectly coarsed the peculiar direction of the current Kanto political situation.

The Eternal Rebellion is a thorn in the heart of every Kanto samurai, the Ashikaga clan is the co-lord of the Kanto region with a very high prestige, he is also the adopted son of Ashikaga Yoshimori, who was promised a strong candidate for the general of the Seiyi, it can be said that he is a strong monarch who wants wind and rain, but such a strong prince was strangled by the shogunate army, just because of a trumped-up charge of rebellion.

The Kanto samurai hated the shogunate deeply from that time, and the unkind Ashikaga shogun raised the butcher's knife against the Kanto again and again, and the essential reason for the rebellion of Xiangde and the rebellion of eternal enjoyment was the prejudice of the shogunate against the Kanto samurai, especially the malice towards the Ashikaga clan of the Furukawa Gongfang was not reduced by half, of course, the Furukawa Gongfang also hated the Shogunate.

Before the Eternal Shogunate, it was the Kamakura Prince's attempt to fight for the position of general, and the Ashikaga Mochi's resentment against the Muromachi shogunate was deep, and he didn't think about raising the anti-flag, but just sulked like a child and changed his son to Ashikaga Yoshihisa, and gave Hachiman Taro the name when he was in the Motofu, and dealt with his own housekeeper, Uesugi Kenmi.

One hundred and twenty years ago, the Battle of Yuuki made the Kanto samurai realize that the strength of the shogunate was unstoppable, and since then the Kanto samurai no longer have the idea of establishing the Furukawa Principality to compete for the shogun's throne.

The significance of Ashikaga Yoshitoki's imminent ascension to the throne of the Kanto Warrior is extraordinary, which in itself is a friendly signal to the Kanto samurai, and the action is to tell the Kanto samurai that there is no intention of a complete break, that the Kanto is still the Kanto of the Kanto samurai, and that the Kanto Okami is still the Kanto Okami of the Ashikaga family, and the rules remain the same, but the allegiance is changed from Ashikaga Fujimasa to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

This is a staircase and an olive branch, building a fast passage to Kamakura for the Kanto samurai, as long as you come to Kamakura to see him attend his Kanto public inauguration, the status of the monarch and minister will be established in a silent tacit understanding, and then send an oath that the Kanto samurai will still govern their own Kanto.

As for whether Ashikaga Yoshitoki was born as a Kwantung samurai or not, it doesn't matter at all, Ashikaga Keshi, the second son of the Ashikaga clan, is the first Kamakura Gongkata, and he himself is a samurai born and raised in Kyoto.

If you look closely, you will find that the ancestors of the samurai, the Seiwa Genji and the Kan Wuhei clan, were also the emperors of Kyoto, and spread to the Kanto region of Kinai and the whole world, even if the Fujiwara clan, the Otomo clan, the Ki clan, the Zaihara clan, the Musashi Seven Clans and other samurai families of the lower level also came from Kyoto, and the samurai of pure Kanto origin had long been wiped out and assimilated by these conquerors, so what qualifications did they have to question whether Ashikaga Yoshitoki was the origin of the Kanto samurai.
