After everyone left, Masara looked at Yinuo, who was left alone, and asked, "Where are the guests you said now?" ”

"Your Highness, in a small wooden house, Your Majesty asked, those people claimed to be from the public family, and they were originally going to go to Dazaifu by boat, but they happened to meet the Sashi family's navy when they were on guard to arrest the spies, and they were caught as spies."

"Oh?" , Zhengliang suddenly became interested when he heard this, "Do those people have tokens to prove their identity?" "If it's really a public person, then you can take the opportunity to get acquainted, and then buy an official position with the public family, but now I lack the so-called reputation.

"Not really," Ichino replied respectfully, "According to them, their belongings were all shot by the sailors of the Sashi family. ”

"In that case, bring them here," Masarashi ordered. Thinking that these people were really unlucky, they actually came here at this time, and they were even arrested as spies. Although he was skeptical about the identity of these people, he decided to meet them with the idea of giving them a try.

Soon, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and looked a little haggard came to Masaliang with two children about 12 or 13 years old.

"Kyogoku Takayoshi, a retainer of the Ashikaga family, has seen His Highness," said the middle-aged man after a short salute. As a retainer of the shogun, at this moment, he wanted to pay respects to a young boy in order to survive, and Kyogoku Takayoshi couldn't help but feel deeply saddened by the loss of the general's power. But the situation is pressing, if it weren't for the secret operation this time, so they only brought two samurai, and even more so on the sea, they wouldn't have been caught with their hands tied. What made him even more ashamed was that after he revealed his identity, those people ignored their identities and looted their belongings. Fortunately, this time the letter was sewn into the underwear, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. In fact, what Kyogoku Takayoshi didn't know was that he was really unlucky this time, and he happened to meet the famous Yue people who were sent around by the Sashi family to search for spies. This guy was originally a pirate, of course, it doesn't matter who you are, anyway, if something happens, the Sashi family is responsible for it. What's even more unfortunate is that after the five Kyogoku Takayoshi were brought back to the port, they happened to meet the Sashi family's navy who was about to set off to fight against the Huzi family, so they were temporarily locked up in a small cabin before they could be interrogated. If it weren't for Masaara's sneak attack on the harbor tonight, it is estimated that these people would have been forgotten there and starved to death.

In fact, this time, Kyogoku Takayoshi was ordered by the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu to secretly visit various daimyo to seek support. What I didn't expect was that I encountered war here, and I was treated as a spy by some homeless pirates, and was imprisoned without distinguishing between right and wrong. Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, the general's family was now completely disadvantaged, and his status in the general's family was not too high, so he could only endure it for the time being.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the general who was eagerly waiting for him at home.

This shogun can be described as a plague of disasters, and he has the notoriety of "fugitive general". Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the 12th shogun of the shogunate, was born in Kuchigi Valley in Omi Province. In 1508, Ashikaga Yoshinori defeated Ashikaga Yoshisumi and was restored as a shogun. After that, Yoshisumi fled to Omi Province in an attempt to regain his position as shogun. However, Yoshiharu died of illness shortly after he was born. On February 14, 1513, the Yoshisumi faction and the Yoshitomi faction reached a reconciliation, and the position of Ashikaga Yoshinori shogun was confirmed. The following year, Ashikaga Yoshiharu was sent to Harima Province, where he was sheltered and nurtured by Akamatsu Yoshimura, an important figure of the Yoshisumi faction who served as the guardian of Harima, Bizen, and Mimasaka. On March 7, 1521, the 10th shogun, Yoshitomi, ran away due to a disagreement with the governor Hosokawa Takakuni. As the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Go-Kashiwahara was about to be held on the 22nd of the same month, the emperor was very angry about the departure of the shogun. The emperor ordered the enthronement ceremony to proceed as usual, and put Hosokawa Takakuni in charge of the security affairs. Takakuni proposed to remove Ashikaga Yoshinori from his post as shogun and appoint Ashikaga Yoshiharu as shogun. On July 6th, Hosokawa Takakuni welcomed Yoshishinori Kamiluo, and on August 29th, he made a congratulatory gift. The Imperial Court accepted Takagoku's suggestion and appointed Ashikaga Yoshiharu as the head of the right horse on November 25. On December 24, Yoshiharu was appointed as the 12th general the next day. …,

Originally, he thought that he would be able to rest easy if he inherited the position of shogun, but in the 6th year of Daiei (1526), Hosokawa Takakuni's retainer Kanishi Motomori was killed, and a dispute within the Hosokawa clan arose. Hosokawa Harumoto, who was opposed to Takaokoku, with the assistance of Awa Kuni's Miyoshi Gencho, supported Yoshiharu's younger brother Yoshiwei and started a war with Takakuni. After Motomori was killed, his two brothers, Hatano Minori and Yanagimoto Kenji, defected from Takakoku. In the 7th year of Oei (1527), Hosokawa Takakuni was defeated in the Battle of Katsura Katsurakawahara, and Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Motocho, the real power holder, and others invaded Kyoto. Ashikaga Yoshiharu fled to Omi Province (present-day Shiga Prefecture) with Hosokawa Takakuni and Takeda Motomitsu. The 12th general made the first fugitive general.

In the first year of Koroku (1528), he lived in Kuchigi (Koseiji Temple) with the help of the Omi people Kuchigi Minotsuna, and with the backing of military forces such as Wakasa Takeda Motomitsu, he opposed Ashikaga Yoshinori, the Sakai Duke who was supported by Miyoshi Gencho. In the 4th year of Koroku (1531), Hosokawa Takakuni was defeated in the Battle of Nakajima, and soon after he committed suicide in a defeat in the Great Monomono Collapse.

After the war, Hosokawa Haromoto and Miyoshi Motocho were opposed. In the first year of Astronomy (1532), Hosokawa Harumoto and Honganji Ichijo fought against Miyoshi Motocho (Kanroku Astronomical Rebellion), and Ashikaga Yoshiharu moved to Kusumi Temple in Omi Province in an attempt to return to Kyoto. With the cooperation of Honganji, Harumoto deposed Sakai Gongkata Yoshiwei, and Miyoshi Gencho was also killed. In the 3rd year of Astronomy (1534), with the support of Rokkaku Dinglai and Rokkaku Yoshiken father and son, Yoshiharu returned to Beijing. At this time, the general's authority was completely lost and he became a puppet. However, Ashikaga Yoshiharu has been trying to restore the power of the shogun and set up an internal discussion group composed of his own cronies as a political center in an attempt to pro-government. At the same time, he married a woman from the Konoe family, an important minister of the imperial court, as the main room, and tried to get the support of the imperial court. It was at this time that Kyogoku Takayoshi was secretly dispatched to various daimyo to ask for help.

Masato looked at this general's retainer who was a little depressed, and couldn't help but feel pity for him. The current general's family is indeed sunset, and there is no prestige at all. Even more tragically, the next year, Ashikaga Yoshiharu's plan was revealed (due to a discord with Hosokawa Harumoto), and he had to flee to Sakamoto in Omi, only to return to Kyoto the following year after receiving Hosokawa Harumoto's understanding. However, the good times did not last long, and in the 12th year of Tenmon (1543), he fled to Omi again because he was plotting against the Hosokawa family again. It can be said that the name of "runaway general" has been completely confirmed.

Of course, Masara is also quite interested in the Kyogoku Takayoshi in front of him. Why? That's because this person has a lot of connections, and this has to start with the birth of Kyocchi Takayoshi.

Kyogoku Takayoshi was born in Omi to protect the Kyogoku clan. In 1523, the Kyogoku family "civil strife" - the Kyogoku family governor Kyogoku HD suddenly abolished the heir of his eldest son Takahiro and replaced it with his second son Takayoshi (the father of the Kyogoku Kochi brothers and Kyogoku Kochi). Gao Guang was not convinced, so he united with the important ministers of the family, Uesaka Nobumitsu, Asami Sadano and Ah Shu Sadaei, to raise troops to fight his father and younger brother. This civil strife has led to another strongman, Ryomasa Asai.

At this time, Asai Ryomasa immediately supported the side of HD and Takayoshi, and personally went to Echizen to ask for the Asakura family to send troops to support; The governor of the Chaocang family, Chaocang Xiaojing, then sent the old Chaocang Jiaojing (Zongdi) of the pen head family to lead an army of 6,000. With the support of Asai and Asakura, Takahiro's side fled to Minami Omi and was protected by the guardian of the Minami Omi Half-Country, Rokkaku Seoriri ("The Ehoku Rebellion" Asai Ryomasa became the head of the Kyogoku family because of his merits, and was appointed as the guardian of the Kita-Omi Half-country, and Asai Ryomasa arose.) In order to strengthen his influence, Asai Ryomasa took the opportunity to go to Echizen once again to thank the Asakura family, and established a deep friendship with Asakura Takakei and Asakura Kyokei, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the Asai-Asakura alliance in the future.

In 1530, Rokkaku Dinglai relied on Kyogoku Takahiro as the vanguard and sent 15,000 troops to the North Omi. However, Kyogoku HD, Kyogoku Gaoji father and son actually sent troops to echo the Hexagonal Army and reached a reconciliation with Gao Guang. The reason why the monarch and the minister suddenly turned against each other is that Asai Ryomasa's power is expanding day by day, and there is a tendency to "go down and up", which leads to high-definition, Gaoji father and son and Liang Zheng turned against each other. At this time, the Asakura family was fighting on two fronts with Wakasa guards Takeda Motomitsu and Kaga, and they were unable to help Asai Ryomasa. Therefore, although Liang Zheng resisted, he was finally defeated due to the huge disparity in strength and was forced to flee to Echizen. Kyogoku Takahiro successfully became the governor of the Kyogoku family with the support of the Rokkaku family, and Kyogoku HD and Kyogoku Takayoshi father and son lived in seclusion in Sawa Mountain Castle. The grudge between Kyogoku and Rokkaku, the old enemies, finally ended with Kyogoku's subordination to Rokkaku. …,

In 1535, the commander Hosokawa Harumoto sent troops to attack Rokkaku Dinglai; The Asakura family, who had always been good friends with the Hosokawa family, also raised troops to echo the Hosokawa army, with Asai Ryomasa as the vanguard and Asakura Kyokei as the general to go out to Kita-Omi. The Rokkaku family was too busy to take care of themselves and was unable to help the Kyogoku family; Therefore, Kyogiku Takahiro had to fight the Asakura army alone. In the summer of the same year, the two armies met at Koganemura on the shores of Lake Biwa, and the Kyogoku army was defeated; Gao Guang had no choice but to surrender to the Asakura army and "reconciled" with Liang Zheng under the "mediation" of Asakura Kyojing. Ryomasa placed Takahiro in his own home city, Kotani Castle, and Gao Gao in the remote town of Kuchigi Tanikan, and exiled Takayoshi, who had good relations with the shogunate and the imperial court, thus completely mastering the northern Omi half of the country.

The desperate Kyogoku Takayoshi became a retainer of the Ashikaga family after the most of them, and later became a close study of the 13th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Although this Kyogoku Gaoji's ability is not outstanding, he has a wide range of contacts and has a complicated relationship with many cattle. His wife is the second daughter of Asai Hisasa, that is, the sister of Asai Nagamasa, who became famous in the future. His daughter, who would soon marry Wakasa to protect Takeda Motoaki, later became the side chamber of Hideyoshi Hashiba after the Takeda family was destroyed by Hideyoshi Hashiba. More importantly, he has a certain influence in the general's family, although the general's family is not as powerful as before, but for the Luo family, which is in urgent need of a name, it is the most suitable time. It's impossible to determine the identity of the other party, but it's okay to take a gamble.
