Early the next morning, the Kira family and his party of more than 20 rode away from the island city with Shima Zuonei, remembering that before leaving, Shima Tomoyuki tirelessly told Shima Zuo to pay attention to when he went out, and finally sent two children from the island family to follow him, the relationship between father and son is indeed very good, much stronger than many martial artists.

However, looking at these two guys who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at him with a smile on their faces, Kira Manmatsumu felt that the island family was indeed not very reliable, the old and young in the family, not to mention the small cottage tulou, not to mention the wind leaking everywhere, it was not much better, what enemy could be resisted in this way, no wonder Shimazuo had been unknown when he was young.

Kofukuji is the actual controller of the Yamato Kingdom, but as a temple he can manage is very limited, in addition to the control of Kasuga Shrine and the main land of Tamue-gun, the actual control of the domain is called the Yamato four clans of the Tsutsui clan, the Kochi clan, the Ten City clan, and the Koo clan.

During the great chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, the local samurai began to form a township party, such as the Musashi Seven Parties that existed in the Genpei era, the samurai groups in various places formed their own township parties with clans as units, and the Yamato country also had its own party members, except for the Tsutsui family and the three generals of Uto, the attitude of the other families was relatively vague, sometimes swaying left and right, sometimes opposing each other, which also reflected the basic attributes of the countrymen.

The party members of Yamato Province were the Tsutsui clan as the center of the Ukai Tsuki clan, the Hasegawa clan as the center of the Tochi clan, the Koshichi clan as the center of the scattered party, the Nagao clan as the center of the Nagao clan, the Katsugami party as the center of the Narawara clan, and the Hirata party of Hirata So, the Hirata clan as the head of the Banzai clan, the Fushi clan, and the Takada clan.

The Tsutsui clan claims to be a descendant of the Fujiwara family or the great god when the Kasuga Shrine moved from the Migaoka area of Kawachi Province to the descendants of Fujiwara Shuntake, one of the four Fujiwara families, who migrated Fujiwara Shuntake, to Tsutsui Sho, Tamashita County, and then called himself the Tsutsui clan.

But their self-proclaimed claim was not recognized by the people, because the place where their family first started, the existence of the Moriya Tsutsui clan centered on the Moriya Shrine Daisuku Moriya Party has a detailed record, and it appears as the name of the disciples of Kofukuji Temple.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tsutsui clan really began to be active, and in the third year of the Tak (1386 Western calendar), in the "Kofukuji Temple's Peaceful Statement", there was a list of the Zhongzhong Shatai Tsutsui Shunjue, but at that time his family was only one of the many leaders of the fang officials and was not eye-catching, and it really began to make a fortune, or in the first year of Yongxiang (1429 in the Western calendar), the six generations of shogun Ashikaga Yoshikyo accepted the worship of Tsutsui Shunkaku.

I don't know if Tsutsui Shunkaku is a good person who is favored by the Ashikaga Yoshikyo at the level of the "Horror Demon King", in short, in the second year, the shogunate issued an order for the acting official of the Kofukuji Shogun, and Tsutsui Shunkaku served as the acting official of the Kofukuji Temple, and became the direct official of the shogunate, and the power of the Tsutsui family began to really expand during this period.

Later, the Tsutsui clan, which was the shogunate, joined forces with the Shiichi clan, which also belonged to Kofukuji, and fought with the Koshichi clan and the Kokuo clan, which were subordinate to the southern dynasty, although they once had an advantage, but they were soon defeated again, because the Sawa clan and the Akiyama clan of the three southern counties that belonged to the same southern dynasty side joined one after another, so that the Tsutsui clan and the Shiichi clan immediately turned from an advantage to a disadvantage, and further lost control of the southern three counties.

As the main force appointed by the shogunate in Yamato Province, the performance of the Tsutsui clan can be called a tragedy, even with the assistance of the Ten City clan, he was beaten and lost his armor, and for a full eleven years, the Tsutsui clan was beaten and lost his armor and fled in embarrassment, Tsutsui Shunkaku's younger brother was begged for death, and the residence of the Tsutsui family was occupied by the Koshichi clan, which can be said to be sad to death.

Later, the shogunate crusade army was dispatched, and Kitabatake Mitsuya, the main leader of the southern Korean side of the rebellion, was killed, and the Echichi and Koo families were completely defeated, and the Yamato Eternal Shogun War ended, because of the tragic performance of the Tsutsui family, and the death of their benefactor Ashikaga Yoshinori in the Cargill Rebellion, the Tsutsui family lost the support of the shogunate and was soon provoked into civil strife, and fell into a new war because of the battle between the Hatakeyama family's family governor.

As the leader of the people in the northern part of Yamato Province, the problem of the Tsutsui family's family governor soon caused the involvement of many forces in the Yamato country, and thus fell into a new round of civil strife.

Successfully appeased the people of the country, and then the daughter of the Yue Chi family married into the Tsutsui family, marking the harmony of the hostile Yue Chi clan, but some people felt happy when they didn't fight, and the "half general" Hosokawa Masato felt that the Yamato country was not conducive to the rule, and you were all harmonious, so what did I care, so he sent Akasawa Chaojing into the Yamato country to fan the flames, and the Tsutsui clan took the opportunity to eliminate another old enemy, the Furuichi clan, and the family business flourished again.

By the twentieth year of the Tsutsui family's reign of Tsutsui Shunaki, the power of the Tsutsui clan was expanded to the extreme, and after the death of Kizawa Nagamasa, a powerful minister of the Kawachi state, he seized control of Shinkiyama Castle and actually controlled the main forces of the seven northern prefectures of Yamato Province, becoming the nominal leader of Yamato Province, but the family governor was not very lucky, and in April this year, because of pox, he let the monk governor go to Mt. Hiei to live in seclusion, and died of illness before the autumn.

"The power of the Yamato country is very complicated, there are many martial artists like the Shima family who are close to the Tsutsui clan, but it's a pity that the first generation of British lord Tsutsui Shunaki died of illness, and his son should be Tsutsui Shunkei." Although the Tsutsui family suffered a major blow from the death of the governor, it did not collapse because of this, because of the strong support of Tsutsui Shunaki's two younger brothers, Tsutsui Shunmasa and Jimeiji Shunguo, and the support of relatives Shiichi and Kochichi, it is no problem to maintain the status of the official apprentices of Kofukuji Temple.

Before he got out of Takushita-gun, he heard that there was a joint battle in the three southern counties, and the three Uda generals intensified the confrontation between two of the families, the Akiyama clan and the Sawa clan, and formed an army in Utuo and Yoshino to set off a riot.

"Aren't the three generals of Utuo an alliance? Why did you suddenly start fighting? ”

"I heard that it seems that His Royal Highness Kitabatake, the Ise Kuniji, supported the Akiyama family, and the Sawa family was forced to set off a riot."

"Huh! Really! These samurai lords don't know what to think, and they fight around all day long......"

"Shhhh Someone's coming! Several villagers saw the more than 20 horsemen of the Kira family, and quickly closed their mouths and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Kira Manmatsumu ordered Yamaoka Zenjiro to go and ask: "Hey, let me ask you, what is the matter with the three generals of Uto that you said just now?" ”

"Master Samurai, are you asking the villain? The villain just said, this said! An old man with open teeth grinned and kept bowing, and then coughed twice and said, "Speaking of this Yutuo three generals! I have to talk about the three southern counties first......"
