This kind of chaotic national army is not to be feared at all, it is not easy for a group of people with ill intentions to gather together to expect them to act together, without the support and influence of powerful daimyo this group of people is a joke, their skills are more than enough to take care of the family, the expansion and hegemony are slightly insufficient, and the joint progress is even more delusional.

After all, this is not the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties two hundred years ago, and the Ashikaga clan had already obtained the title of the descendant of the Kawachi Genji before the defeat of Kyushu, so it did not take long to retreat to Kyushu with a group of remnants of the defeated army, and it did not take long for the army of 200,000 to re-enter Kyoto, and the power of the name lost its effect with the continuous weakening of the Ashikaga shogun's family.

What's more, the current general of the expedition, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, is sitting in Kyoto, and a few years ago, the situation was very good and there was a boom, and Ashikaga Fujimasa, the puppet prince of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, chose to attack another fellow who had just obtained the appearance of the Imperial Palace, not to mention that he, the straw bag prince, did not occupy the name of justice and righteousness at all.

This farce was already doomed to have no good outcome before it even began, and Kira Yoshitoki ignored Ashikaga Fujimasa's angry clamor for the time being, but transferred 5,000 troops from the defenders of Shimoetsu Niigata Town to enter Dewa Province through Sakata Port, and quickly launched a severe punishment action against several people in Dewa Province while the snow fell.

The 5,000 troops were led by Naito Masasari and Katsunaga Sebe, who were stationed in Dewa Province, and were responsible for punishing Tendo Yorisadada, Enzawa Mitsushige, and Daihoji Yoshizo, who was dissatisfied with the reduction of the seal, and converging the Kira garrison of Dewa Province plus the army of the people of Dewa Province, and besieging Shimizu Castle with 13,000 troops, and Mogami Yoshimitsu led another 3,000 troops to attack Tendo, Enzawa, and their allies, Shiratori and Hanhee. The overall situation was very favorable for the Kira army.

Date Terumune wanted to enter Dewa Province several times and launch an attack on the great enemy, Mogami Yoshimitsu. But they were all severely stopped by his father, Date Harumune. For the Date family, the face of the family governor is more important, the maintenance of the hegemony of the Date family is more important, the inheritance of the family business of the Date family is the most important, and the face of the family governor is not as good as maintaining the hegemony and is not as good as the inheritance of the family business, and the face is secondary when the former and the latter conflict.

When he first received the invitation to the alliance of Ashikaga Fujimasa, Date Harumune was opposed, but he was a reclusive former governor who was no more authoritative than Date Terumune, the current governor, and he himself chose to pass on the family governor to his son-in-law who was only a teenager in his prime. Date Harumun could not interfere or even obstruct his son-in-law's political judgment just because of his different ideas.

In that way, it is to promote a new round of confrontation between the family governors, just like the astronomical rebellion of the year is almost the reason, Date Minoru had a serious idea because of the reason of his adopted son and the heir of the family governor, Date Harumune, and then the old governor Date Minoru was ousted by his son Date Harumune and forced to live in seclusion, as the initiator of the astronomical rebellion, he is very clear about the evil consequences of the confrontation between the two generations of family governors.

Date Harumune knew very well that this Ashikaga Fujimasa was unreliable, but he didn't dare to be useful when he spoke, he didn't choose to obstruct the old greetings of the Spectrum Family, but after expressing his attitude reasonably, he kept his mouth shut, and in the future, the foundation of the Date family needs Date Terumi to protect it, and let him hone a few more times to facilitate his growth.

Now Ashikaga Fujimasa has proven to be a straw bale. The so-called anti-Echigo-Vietnam coalition he advocated was also reduced to a laughing stock, and now the Kira army chose to deal a major blow to the rebels in Dewa Province before the heavy snowfall. At this time, it is inconvenient for the Date family to intervene rashly, and it is still a problem how to return it when the heavy snow is approaching.

Second, he was very worried that when such an attack on Mogami would provoke Kirayoshi, after the coming of spring next year, the Date family would be listed as the primary target, whether it was an army of 10,000 or 20,000 troops to attack Yonezawa, it would be a disaster, and the Date family's current body was absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the Kira family's army, which can be judged from the last battle for Zhongshan City.

If it is the stupidest choice to rush into the top collar at this time, it is equivalent to the Date family blocking the gun for the instigator of the straw bag princess, Ashikaga Fujimasa, and using the end of the Date family in exchange for slowing down the expansion speed of the Kira family, which is a meaningless and very stupid choice no matter how you look at it, so Date Harumune did not hesitate to call his impulsive son to reprimand him, and completely woke up Date Terumune before warning him not to be impulsive.

Under the siege of tens of thousands of troops and the strategy of Mogami Yoshimitsu, it only slightly provoked the relationship between the retainers of the Dahoji clan, and used the different voices of the retainers of the Dahoji clan to rebel, so it was easy to prompt Tozenji Yoshinaga to unite several family elders to suddenly attack and imprison the old Tosa Lin Zendong, and then strangled the Daihoji Yoshizen and his son Manmen and personally opened the city and surrendered.

Kira Yoshitoki was very happy to accept this person who knew the times, and immediately promised to hand over all the posthumous titles of Daihoji Yoshizen after his death to Tozenji Yoshicho to lead, and then pretended to be generous to release Tosabayashi Zendo and other former ministers of the Daihoji clan, in fact, secretly encouraged them to avenge the main family, so Tozenji Yoshinaga, the throne of the lord of Shimizu Castle, fell to the ground before the heat was covered, and was cut off by the dead soldiers of the Daihoji clan and then cut off his abdomen for the deceased lord.

Just like this, it only took more than ten days to go back and forth, and the powerful Dabaoji clan disappeared, and after this blow, Tosabin Zendong was disheartened, and chose to escape into Yuguro to be a monk in the wild of the mountains and did not ask about the world, and the Dabaoji clan and the retainers of the genealogy died of the dead and wasted, and there was no longer the strength to resist the purge of the Kira army, and the Shimizu Ling fell into the hands of Kira Yoshitoki.

Perhaps it was the big drama of the Daihoji clan extermination, which was really scary, making the people of Dewa Country who were originally noisy suddenly become honest and obedient like chickens, and those who shouted for Ashikaga Fujimasa and chanted "Kira family get out of Dewa Country" all died down, and in our short period of a few days, the entire Dewa Country was quiet as if there were no samurai.

Tiantong Lai Zhen and Yan Ze Manzhong saw that the situation was not good and was very single, and they didn't give a chance for several armies to join forces and then attack and suppress, so they simply opened the city gate and put on a posture of surrendering, which was performed in front of Kira Yoshishi last time, and it made Ji Liang Yoshishi feel quite moved at that time. Immediately give permission to the security skills and praise their deeds of honesty.

This is less than two years after that. It seems that Tendo Yorizhen and Nobusawa Manshige are also planning to repeat their old tricks to obtain forgiveness. It's a pity that Kira Yoshitoki, who feels cheated, has already decided to abolish these two families, and then the two family governors and their respective sons and nephews seven groups were directly captured and forcibly sent to Kasuga Mountain City, in fact, they were sent to Sado Island as miners halfway, and there is no hope of getting out of that island in this life, and the territory of the Tiantong clan and the Yanzawa clan also naturally belongs to the hands of Kira Yoshitoki.

As for the other six of Mogami Yaku, Shiratori, Hanhejiang, and several monasteries that have been involved in supporting the rebels have been punished accordingly, and all the reduced fiefs of these families have been classified into the direct collar of Mogami Yoshimitsu, and at this moment Mogami Yoshimitsu deeply understands what it means to be punished. When I stared at the people of the country who had reduced the seal, it was a bit of a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken.

Before he had time to clean up the lord of the three counties of Xianbei, Onodera Jingdao, the first heavy snow in the late autumn was ushered in by the Dewa country, and when the heavy snow fell, it was basically announced that the war of the year was over, Naito Masari and Shibe Katsunaga retreated to the defense area with the military momentum to garrison, and the rhythm of the march completely stopped, which made the people of Dewa country breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no need to clench your fist and hammer the rebels who pay Yuhan, and the increase of 5,000 troops is enough to deal with these dishonest people of Dewa Province, these 5,000 people are from the more bitter cold natives of Echigo, and they will be left in Dewa Country as a town guard for some time to come. With these 5,000 reinforcements, it can basically be stabilized, and the autumn harvest assessment meeting is held. When I was routinely taking stock of the year's agricultural income and expenditure, I received the latest information from Kinai, which was long overdue.

The intensity of the turmoil in Kinai was completely unexpected by Kira Yoshitoki, starting with the high-profile announcement in April that Asakura Yoshikei and Asai Nagamasa would set up a customs office to impose heavy taxes on the main transportation arteries between Tsuruga Port and Sakamoto Town, which meant that Sakamoto Town would be forced to die.

Of course, Yamamoto Tokiyuki couldn't allow them to be so unscrupulous, so he teamed up with Nakajo Tokihide to quickly seize Tango Maizuru Port, find another outlet to the sea on the west side of Wakasa Bay, and put on a pose that if you want to force Sakamoto Town to die, you will be killed, so that you will not be able to collect a penny of business taxes and offend the Kira family to death.

Asakura Yoshikei and Asai Nagamasa didn't seem to care about this threat at all, and in their eyes, the Kira family could not affect the internal affairs of their prefectures at all, and soon set up several customs offices in Asai and Ika Counties in Omi Province, as well as Aakura Prefecture's Tsuruga Prefecture to collect taxes, and one customs office in each county collected a tax of 10% of the total value of goods from merchants passing through this place, and the three counties needed to be levied three times repeatedly, which increased the cost of the trade process by 30% for no reason.

What's even more excessive is that Asakura Yoshikage actually ordered the Tsuruga Prefecture Division Asakura Kekiki to levy a high cargo handling fee on the ships berthed in Tsuruga Port, not a poll tax but a handling fee ranging from five cents to one percent according to the value of the goods, this is putting on a posture of a soil overlord who loves to play and not play and get out, Asakura Yoshiki also contacted Wakasa to protect Takeda Yoshitomi, and Tango to guard Isshiki Yoshido in an attempt to pursue the Kira army in Maizuru Port, in an attempt to use this method to carry out countermeasures against the infiltration of the Kira family.

Takeda Yoshitsune immediately launched a relevant crusade motion, and was opposed by his younger brother Takeda Nobukata, who held the real power of the family, and the joint opposition of the important ministers Awaya Katsuhisa and Itami Shojing, among which Yoshitsune Yoshitsune reacted the most intensely, and even did not hesitate to turn his face on the spot to express his strong dissatisfaction, Takeda Yoshitoshi did not dare to make too much trouble, thinking that this was just a contradiction between the Asakura family and the Kira family, and they had little to do with the Wakasa Takeda family, so they didn't talk about it.

Isshiki Yoshido didn't take care of Asakura Yoshiki at all, this guy also attacked the territory of the Tango Isshiki family with Takeda Yoshiki a few years ago, and today he came to him to oppose the Kira family, clearly trying to use him as a gunman, and on the contrary, the Kira family sent Numata Mitsukan to contact Isshiki Yoshiki early, telling him that a lot of the taxes from Maizuru Port would be returned to the Isshiki family, and they just garrisoned to control this port as an entry and exit port for trade with Kyoto.

This is very important news for the Isshiki family, as one of the four positions of the original shogunate, although the Tango Isshiki clan has been strong for more than a hundred years, but since Isshiki Yoshikani was killed by the evil imperial Ashikaga Yoshikyo, this clan has basically withdrawn from the shogunate important ministers, and the Oin Rebellion was subordinate to the Western Army and sanctioned, and the family business has long declined.

Only the Tango country barely guards the door without losing it, and it is no longer a powerful samurai with high prestige in the past, and the Tango country is sparsely populated and the land is barren. The only thing we can rely on is the tax revenues of a few ports and castle towns. If you remove these few things, you will really be a poor and white turtle warrior on the ground.

The Kira family's 3,000 invading troops suddenly captured Maizuru Port. It has been revealed that the Isshiki clan is completely unable to resist the strong military force, and the entire Isshiki family only has 3,000 troops, in the face of such a powerful opponent, Isshiki Yoshido is even ready to fight to the death to recapture Maizuru Port, and the Kira family happened to send the envoy Numata Mitsukan at this time to alleviate the confrontation of the Isshiki family, and the return of the Isshiki clan's financial and tax revenues will not expel the original port commission, only the garrison and law and order of Maizuru Port are needed.

Later, the handwritten letter written to him by Kira Yoshitoki also informed him that he had no intention of getting involved in Tango, and that these 3,000 defenders could serve as the defenders of Maizuru Port to defend the east gate for Tango, and in the future, the Isshiki clan only needed to manage the territory with heart. Isshiki Yoshido repeatedly weighed the request made by Yoshiki Kira, and although it was too embarrassing for him, the governor, he knew very well that the fate of the daimyo of the small country was like this.

A few years ago, he was still indignant about the invasion of the Asakura family, and in the past few years, he was annoyed by the domineering of the Miyoshi family, and secretly scolded the chaos in the world for letting these lowly samurai ride on the head of his famous family, but now he has encountered a family of the same clan whose family is even higher than him, and Isshiki Yoshido has no intention of fighting to the death.

Kira Yoshitoki also mentioned in the letter that he could provide some convenience for Maizuru Port, such as the renovation and reconstruction of the Ishiki clan's Jujo Kenbu Yamajo at a discounted price, the reconstruction and renovation of the Kenbu Yamajo Castle Town, and the expansion and reorganization of the Tango Street. The same can be said for the renovation of Maizuru Port Town.

In addition, he was willing to let the Isshiki clan use flax, aquatic products, honey and agricultural products as a deduction for the corresponding construction costs, but this made Isshiki Yoshido very satisfied. And then the plan to cooperate with the Kira family arose, you must know that Tango is a very small territory, lack of land, and there are no rich mineral resources, only such a special product is not very valuable, and the rich life of the Isshiki clan in Tango is supported by the trade tax that leads to Kyoto.

Since the Heian period, Tango has always been valued by the imperial court as the northern window of Kyoto, and has become one of the favored downward locations of the minister due to convenient transportation advantages and comfortable environment, so Tango's business activities are relatively developed, some business travelers from San'in in the west will land in Maizuru Port to enter Beijing, finance and taxation is the only main income that Tango guards can use, if Isshiki Yoshido does not know the refusal of current affairs, maybe Maizuru Port will not get hands on these preferential treatment, That's really chicken-and-egg fighting, and you can't get anything.

Compared to Asakura Yoshikage, who was only a verbal alliance with no real benefits, the sincere cooperation of Kira Yoshitoki from Echigo made Isshiki Yoshimichi feel that it was more reliable to be a member of the same family, and without much thought, he recognized the fact that the Kira army dominated Maizuru Port, and at the same time signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Kira family, including the construction of the aforementioned Kenbu Yamajo and Castle Town, and the construction of Tango Street and Maizuru Port.

This package is expected to take five to seven years to complete, and more than 100,000 Kanbun Yongle money will be invested in the renovation, and the reconstructed eastern area of Tango will become another important outlet to the sea in Kyoto, which will greatly improve Tango's economic vitality and business exchanges, and at the same time, it will also make the economy of the Isshiki clan greatly improved, and the guardian of the Tango Province will be more comfortable than before.

And because Kenbu Yamajo and Maizuru Port are the private property of the Isshiki clan, the debts that the Isshiki clan needs to bear are also astronomical, and the agreement adds that when the Isshiki clan is unable to pay off the debt when the agreement is completed, the Maizuru port will be automatically transferred to the Kira family as collateral to offset the debt, and if the converted debt is still not enough to compensate, the territory will be required to discount.

It can be determined that Isshiki Yoshido can't afford to repay this huge debt until the moment of death, or that he didn't think about repaying this huge debt at all, just thinking about enjoying five or seven years of comfortable life and the rich dividends brought by the huge investment of the Kira family, who knows what will happen after five or seven years, maybe the world will be more chaotic, maybe the Kira family will disappear, maybe the world is peaceful, and the Yoshiki Yishi will enter Beijing as a minister.

Even if you don't consider this unreliable possibility, it is not the so-called day monk hitting the clock for a day, you can also imagine that five or seven years later, the thigh of the Kira family can be hugged, and the so-called good shade under the big tree may be a big tree that can be leaned up, as for the problem of Maizuru Port is not important at all, hugging the thigh always has to pay some price.

This can be understood as a means for Kira's family to buy Tango with money, a strong army is a sword that kills people, and a strong economic strength is a soft knife that kills people without seeing blood, and with such a set of commercial means, it is easy to avoid the serious conflicts that may be caused by the seizure of the port, and use money to open the way to buy a peaceful means of transition that the local indigenous samurai are willing to accept.
