When it was about to turn into a tragedy in Kinai, a shocking news suddenly came from Kawachi Province, it turned out that the Kawachi Castle that had been captured by last year's hard work changed its banner again, and the Kawachi guardian Hatakeyama Takamasa took advantage of the hazy night to seize Takaya Castle half a month ago, and once again united the people of Yamato Province, the people of Kii Province and the hired Nerai people to launch a series of dazzling recovery operations against Kawachi Province.

The Hanoi People's Army in the Miyoshi Army was shaken, and the general Yu Zuo Nobu did not say a word, saying that he was going to return to Hanoi with more than 8,000 Kawachi troops to "encircle and suppress Hatakeyama Takamasa", so they left Miyoshi Changqing's main camp and returned to their hometown Hanoi, but as soon as they returned to Wakae Castle, they were "unfortunately" "captured" by Hatakeyama Takamasa, and the 8,000 troops surrendered under the banner of Hatakeyama Takamasa.

In the blink of an eye, Hatakeyama Takamasa gathered 15,000 troops from Yamato Province, 15,000 troops from Hanoi, 2,000 troops from Kii, and 3,000 troops from Root to launch an attack on Izumi Province.

At the same time, there were also signs of instability in the Tanba country, the Hatano family and the Tango Isshiki family and the Harima Bessho family colluded to try to subvert the dominance of the Miyoshi family, and the people of the East Harima country did not say a word to leave Kyoto and return to the Harima territory by way of the Tanba country, Naito Sokatsu, the guardian of Tanba, was also in a dilemma, and the Tanba national army had long complained about such a bloody attack on the shogunate, and they had no heart to fight when they heard that there was chaos in their hometown.

Naito Munekatsu was troubled by the generals and didn't have the heart to enter Luozhong again, and the situation on the part of Miyoshi Yoshiken was not very good. With the people of Hanoi and Ho Quan, they successively broke away from the front and returned to their hometowns to defend their land. There was also varying degrees of commotion among the people of Settsu. Ikeda Nagamasa, the leader of the Settsu Force, proposed to return to his hometown to defend his territory and prevent a reversal of the situation in Harima.

Miyoshi Changqing also had a headache in the face of such a strange situation, Naito Sokatsu was about to lead the army back to Tanba Province to suppress the rebellion, and Miyoshi Yoshiken's department also fell into chaos because thousands of troops broke away without authorization, and Miyoshi Nagakei's main formation was still alive with 7,000 troops left, which made it difficult for him to maintain the offensive situation.

But just after Katsura River came to the outside of Kyoto City, he was really unwilling to retreat, and his original plan was to take the opportunity to annihilate the troops of Rokkaku Yoshiken and Nakajo Tokihide, and then take advantage of the good opportunity when both of their armies were lost to eat Yamashiro and Omi in one fell swoop. At that time, the Miyoshi family will truly dominate Kinai, and no one will be able to shake his authority.

As the saying goes, it is in the people to make things happen, and it is always useless to let him Miyoshi Changqing's strategy be unwieldy, and the news that Hatakeyama Takamasa's ramming family governor has gathered a group of rabble to fight Izumi Province has reached Kyoto, and the remaining nearly 20,000 shogunate coalition troops will inevitably boost their morale, and the originally sure annihilation war has made waves again, and it will take more than twice the strength to annihilate the 20,000 troops.

Whether Hatakeyama Takamasa can defeat Izumi Province is secondary, the important thing is that if he does not turn around and return to rescue Izumi Province, it will give many potential enemies a chance to jump out and fan the flames, and maybe the originally stable Settsu Province will also make waves again. There is also the Ashikaga Yoshiwei who went to the inner house of the Zhou Defense Kunidai because of the anger of Hosokawa Chitaka's death, and maybe he will be invited back by the remnants of the Awa Hosokawa clan to cause chaos.

There is also the civil strife in Tambo, which is unknown. The strange behavior of the always honest and obedient countrymen such as the Higashiki Hakima Bessho clan and the Tango Isshiki clan all indicate that there must be an invisible black hand behind this wave of chaos in Kinai, and Governor Miyoshi Chokeishin could no longer forcibly annihilate the remaining army, so he sent a request for peace to the shogunate a few days later.

This time the harmony is very interesting, Miyoshi Nagakei declared to the shogunate that the Miyoshi family deserved control over Kyoto, and asked the shogunate to give up the armed forces and let the Miyoshi family take over the security tax in Kyoto, this request was rejected by Ashikaga Yoshiteru without hesitation, and the shogunate was able to rise to the point of playing ten thousand horses, relying on the tax on Kyoto and the annual donations of the daimyo in various places, as well as the extra money earned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru as a mediator of regional conflicts.

The loss of any of Kyoto's taxes and donations from the daimyo in each region accounted for more than 40% of the total income, and the loss of any of them would lead to the inevitable decline of the shogunate, and once the shogunate declined, the daimyo would once again deplete the sense of reverence that the daimyo hastily established by the shogunate, and the annual donations would be drastically reduced, and the extra money that Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself earned from military mediation in various places would also be greatly reduced.

Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshiken also knew that Miyoshi Nagakei was very weak-hearted, and if it weren't for the fire in the backyard of their Miyoshi house, they would never sit down and negotiate the so-called peace agreement with the shogunate, so they strongly supported Ashikaga Yoshiteru's tough position, which made the peace negotiations deadlocked.

After scolding the shogunate, he began to worry about the bad situation in the rear lair, although this change did not make the Miyoshi family fall into a huge whirlpool, but if he kept dragging his feet in Kyoto, it is difficult to say what would happen, and the longer the time dragged on, the deeper the bad impact would be, and the more effort it would take in the future.

Just when Miyoshi Nagakei was hesitating whether to take a step back, a series of dazzling news came from Kaga Province, the chief general of the Kira family, Uesugi Masatora, led 23,000 troops to defeat and exterminate 100,000 Echichu Ichichu, and drove straight into the heart of Kaga Province, which had not been touched for 80 years, and annihilated more than 30,000 captives on the south bank of the Kato River with 30,000 to 60,000, and in one fell swoop, the famous Kaga Ichishomune was half crippled.

The monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple are like the sky is about to fall, one by one holding their heads in panic, the young lord Honganji Xianru can't help but go to Kyoto to lobby the imperial court, hoping to come up with a set of methods to curb the arrogance of the Kira family, but the problem is that the civil and military princes of the Manchu Dynasty are frightened by the war in Kyoto and dare not go out, either hiding at home and pretending to be deaf and dumb or simply running to Hiei Mountain, Narakyo, Koyasan Mountain for refuge, where is there anyone willing to offend the Kira family, who is in the limelight for him.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was excited to hear the news of Uesugi Masato's victory over Kaga Ichimune, this was the first time he realized how important it was to have a loyal and reliable sect, Uesugi Masato, the 30,000 tigers and wolves, swept Kaga's intelligence like a booster into the crumbling shogunate, and he immediately ordered the shogunate to use all kinds of forces to hype, and try to make the momentum earth-shattering known to everyone.

As a result, the names of "the first samurai of the Eastern Kingdom" and "the dragon of Echigo" and "the god of the Northern Army" praised by Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself gradually became known, and the miraculous performance of Kira Yoshitoki in the next few years of Echigo was also excavated again and again by people to repeatedly hype. 、

However, with the news of the seizure of half of Kaga, people realized that the Kira family had unknowingly come outside of, and only by bypassing the Echizen Asakura clan could return to Gyeonggi, the legendary figure who had dominated Kyoto for three years and created a series of incredible feats seemed to be about to jump back into people's attention.

If you want to say who is the most nervous about Kira Yoshitoki's return to Kyoto, it must first belong to the Kinai overlord Miyoshi Chokei, who spent ten years walking back and forth in the quagmire of Kyoto, and now it seems that he is about to succeed, Kira Yoshitoki is like a haunted nightmare, suddenly killing from an angle that no one can imagine, and Miyoshi Nagakei's heart is about to jump out.

Since getting the news, Miyoshi Changqing was disturbed and couldn't sleep well, and secretly thought: "How can this Kira Yoshitoki come back again, he doesn't stay in Hokuriku Kanto and entangle with the Sagami Hojo clan and the Kai Takeda clan and stretch out his hand in the direction of Kinai, does he really want to go to Luo?" No way! He must not be allowed to succeed! My Miyoshi family wants to dominate the hegemony of the Hosokawa family in Kinai, how can I let Kira Yoshitomi meddle in the good things of the family at this time! We have to find a way to deal with him as soon as possible! ”

Before he could think of the actions he should do, he heard that Honganji Xianru was willing to bow his head and admit defeat in exchange for the Kira family's non-fight and peace agreement, and the Kaga Ichijo sect, which was extremely strong for a while, became yesterday's yellow flower, and the Kaga Bankoku territory was the territory of the Kira family from now on, such an amazing change made it difficult for Miyoshi Chokei to understand the repetition, he didn't understand when this territory became so easy to take, so that Ishiyama Honganji didn't even have the intention of struggling to resist and surrendered.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru quickly acted and decided to give Kira Yoshitoki the title of Kaga Guardian, and encouraged him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to defend the shogunate, Miyoshi Nagakei was anxious for several days and could not sleep peacefully, and there were more and more dissenting voices within the Miyoshi retainers, and many people felt that Shangluo was still a little hasty this time, and the limit of the stability of the nest behind him should be higher than that of Shangluo, and the words were nothing more than telling Miyoshi Nagakei that this war could not be fought anymore.

The people who said these words are not the grassroots countrymen, but a large number of people and quasi-people of the Miyoshi family, they support Miyoshi Changqing Shangluo is for the sake of profit, desperately fighting for a whole summer and now not even seeing a little benefit, but the loss of their respective families is not light, seeing that it is extremely unfavorable to themselves to continue doing this, Miyoshi Changqing had to invite Miyoshi Yoshiken and Matsunaga Xiu to discuss overnight, and submit a peace request to the shogunate again the next day.

This peace was carefully revised, and the shogunate's control over Kyoto and the management of public security were first recognized, but the defense forces of Kyoto had to be shared with the Miyoshi family, and the remaining 2,000 troops at the Nijo Imperial Palace were not to exceed 500 men, and the remaining 2,000 troops were to be transferred to Jishoji Temple in the east of Kyoto, and the Miyoshi family would also send 500 troops led by Miyoshi Nagaitsu to garrison the Toji Temple in the south of Kyoto, and the Hosokawa clan would remain at the Toji Temple as the commander.

Miyoshi Nagakei, as the representative of the Governor, will have the privilege of leading 500 troops in and out of Kyoto, and will regularly exercise the power of the Imperial Companion every month, going to the Nijo Imperial Palace to have lunch with the shogun to enhance understanding and mutual trust between the two sides, the Kira family and the Rokkaku family are not allowed to enter Kyoto without a public imperial teaching, and they are not allowed to interfere in the defense of Kyoto, and other regulations, in addition to the location of the specific courtyard of Toji Temple as a point in Kyoto.
