Chapter 115: The Tide of History

After leaving Kizo Shigetada to confirm the details of the cooperation with Kamiya Kamiya Sakura, and after agreeing on the specific sale of the Luo family, Masarashi visited the streets of Hakata with great interest, escorted by several cloaked people.

Since the head of the Shao Er family was defeated and forced to commit suicide four years ago, the only remaining power of the Shao Er family in Hakata has also been completely eliminated by the Ouchi family; And as the Ouchi family flourished under the leadership of Yoshitaka Ouchi, the power of the Otomo family in Hakata had to be hidden in the shadows, making Hakata completely controlled by the Ouchi family, and Hakata also ushered in a long period of stability. Walking through the streets of Hakata, you can see many shops that resemble shops, and you can also see many people coming in and out of it, making it a prosperous scene.

I walked to a sake brewery and looked at the sign at the door, which seemed to be the sake house of the Kamiya family. Masara casually lifted the curtain of the tavern and walked in. Seeing that there were already many people sitting in the lobby, Masara sat down at a table near the wooden window, then took out a small token and shook it in front of the brewhouse owner, saying, "A bowl of sake!" ”。 The boss looked at Masahiro's token, immediately bowed and saluted, and then turned around and went down to get the wine.

The token was given by Kamiya Shaoce, and it was said that showing this token in the shop of the Kamiya family would be courteous. When he saw this token for the first time, Masahiro was a little surprised, isn't this a bit similar to the practice of those so-called VIP cards in later generations? I didn't expect the ancients to think of such a marketing method so early.

"I heard that the Niko family in Izumo is recruiting ronin, so why don't we try our luck there?" Masarashi was just about to observe the furnishings of the sake house when he suddenly heard a voice from a table next to him. Masarashi looked sideways slightly, and it turned out that the three ronins were discussing the next wandering destination.

"That's right, in June, the Niko family sent troops to prepare for Hachimanyama Castle in the Hou Domain, preparing to attack the Mori family, but it was blocked, and it is said that the Niko family and the Mori family have been recruiting ronins recently, preparing to start a war again, and we can still catch up if we rush over now", agreed another ronin at the same table.

"Who is so powerful? Actually stopped the army of the Nizi family? ", asked the last ronin.

"It is said that the Shishido family, an ally of the Mori family," said the ronin who spoke first, "and the Shishido family defended the danger and left the Niko family in vain." ”

"If you want me to say, don't go to the Nizi family."

"The Nizi family? Not good. ”

"Why? Did you go to the Maori family? If it weren't for this war, I wouldn't have known that there was such a strong man in Ludao? ”

"You don't know anything about this," said the ronin who thought it was bad to defect to the Niko family, "The head of the Maori family is a great guy. ”

Then this ronin told the news about the current head of the Mori family, Mao Li Yuan, one by one.

According to this ronin. The Maori family is a famous family with a long history. The ancestors of the Mori clan can be traced back to the early establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, when Hirogen Oe served as the chief of the political office. After Guangyuan's death, the fourth son, Maori Jiguang, was exiled to the Anyu domain due to the war. The Maori people thrived in Anyun. On April 16, 1497, Mori Moto was born in Yamashiro, Yoshida County, Aki, under the name Matsujumaru, and was the second son of Mori Hiromoto, the governor of the Mori family. At that time, the Mori family was just a small daimyo struggling to survive in the gap between the surrounding daimyos, and the nominal suzerainty was the Ouchi family of the Zhou Defense Domain. In 1499, Ashikaga Yoshinori, the 10th Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori, who had been driven out of Kyoto by the "half-shogun" Hosokawa Masamoto, defected to the Ouchi family. In order to build up their power in Kyoto, the Ouchi family decided to send troops to help Ashikaga Yoshinori return to the shogunship. However, the timid Mori Hiromoto did not dare to offend Hosokawa Masamoto, so he hurriedly passed the title of family governor to his eldest son, who was only 7 years old, and hid in seclusion in order to avoid the crisis. In 1506, Hiromoto Mori, exhausted, suddenly fell ill and died. Under the prying eyes of the powerful and ambitious daimyo of all walks of life, the weak Maori family is even more precarious. This year, Maori Yuan was only 10 years old. …,

Although Maori Xingyuan was only 14 years old, he still bravely took on the burden of being the household governor. In 1507, Hosokawa Masamoto was assassinated by his sons, and Kyoto was in turmoil. Ouchi Yoshiko, the governor of the Ouchi family, saw that the time was ripe, so he surrounded Ashikaga Yoshinori and sent troops to Shangluo. Mori Komoto also went with the army as a retainer of Ouchi. In June 1508, the Ouchi army defeated Ashikaga Yoshisumi and re-established himself as the general of the expedition. In August 1511, Ashikaga Yoshisumi made a comeback. But before he could start a war with Ashikaga Yoshinori, Yoshisumi fell ill and died. The army that supported Yoshisumi had no will to fight, and was defeated by the combined forces of Yoshishiki and Ouchi, Niko and Maori at Funaokayama. At only 19 years old, Maori Xingyuan can also be said to have been in battle for a long time. In 1512, when Mori returned to his domain, he united with the powerful people of the Anyu domain and concluded an alliance to advance and retreat together. The Maori family's strength in Anyun has temporarily stabilized. But under the heavy pressure, Xingyuan contracted alcoholism. On September 21, 1516, Xingyuan, who had drunk too much, died violently at the age of 24. The retainers supported Xingyuan's 2-year-old son, Komatsumaru, to succeed him as the governor. At this time, Maori Yuan was 20 years old.

The lord and the young ministers are weak, and the surrounding daimyo can't help but start the idea of beating the Maori family. At this time, the Anyu Domain was surrounded by powerful people. The two families of Nizi and Ouchi compete for power, and Anyu's various heroes Maori, Yoshikawa, and Takeda (this Anyu Takeda is the same clan as Kai Takeda, but look at the relatives in Kai, it's really a cloud and mud difference!) And so on, like grass on the wall, to see who is stronger, to whom he falls, and lives a precarious life. Seeing that the Maori family was in decline, Takeda Motoshi, the governor of the Takeda family, who was also in Anyun, was the first to attack and bully orphans and widows. In February 1517, the Takeda army sent 5,000 troops to attack the Yoshikawa family, an ally of the Mori family, in a vain attempt to cut off the right hand of the Mori family. On October 13, the Takeda army besieged Arita Castle, and Mori Moto led troops to reinforce the Yoshikawa family. This is the first battle of Yuan's fledgling. On October 22, the vanguard of the Takeda Army, the fierce general Kumagai Motonao's 500 cavalry, fought a battle with the Moriyoshikawa coalition army outside Arita Castle. Kumagai Motonao, who had the courage of a horseman, took the lead, but unfortunately fell off his horse with an arrow and was beheaded by the Yoshikawa army. On October 28, Takeda Motoshi, who wanted to avenge his beloved general, personally went out to fight the Mori Yoshikawa coalition army Yu Youdagawa. In the face of the fierce offensive of the Takeda Army, Mori Yuan continued to boost the morale of the coalition forces, and finally succeeded in repelling the Takeda Army. Unwilling to be defeated, Takeda Motoshiba led several cavalry to charge the coalition forces in an attempt to recover the decline. But Mori Yuan was waiting for this moment, and the archers who were lying in ambush in the rear took their bows at the same time and fired at Takeda Motoshige in a volley. After a rain of arrows, Yuan Fan, known as "Xiang Yu", was hit by dozens of arrows and died on the bank of the Youda River. Since then, the Takeda family has been in decline, the Mori clan has been revived, and the wisdom and courage of the Mori Motoshi have also resounded in the surrounding places.

Maori Yuan became famous in one fell swoop with this battle, and it seems to be the backbone of the Maori family. In August 1523, the poor 9-year-old Komatsumimaru died (it is said that he was murdered by Mori Moto), and Mori Moto became the desired governor. However, the Nezi, the enemy of the Maori, did not want to see the Maori family sit on the throne. The governor of the Nizi family, Nizi secretly instigated Yuan Kuo's younger brother Xiang Yuan Gang for a long time, and several important ministers rebelled together. Maori Yuan immediately made a decision and killed Xianghe Yuangang and others to eliminate future troubles. The position of Governor of the House was established. Because the Nizi family interfered with the issue of the family governor, Mao Liyuan had a grudge in his heart and fell to the Ouchi family and confronted the Nizi. In 1529, Mori Yuan defeated the local wealthy Takahashi family, and the power of the army was even stronger. This caused even more uneasiness in the Niko family. At this time, Niko was 83 years old and bedridden, and his grandson Niko Haruhisa succeeded him as the governor. In 1540, Niko Haruhisa sent 30,000 troops from Tsukiyama Tomita Castle to kill the mountain castle of Yoshida County in Mori Motosa. The Battle of Yamashiro in Yoshida-gun began. In June, the Niko army marched to Hachimanyama Castle in the Bigo Domain, in a vain attempt to cross the Kawaigawa River and attack the Mori clan's Yakumi Domain. Unexpectedly, Maori's ally, the Shishido family, held on to the danger, and the Nunzi army returned in vain. …,

After the Ninko family, who was unwilling to fail, returned to the territory, they issued a recruitment order again, continued to recruit ronin, and prepared to attack the Maori family again, and the Maori family, who got the news, was not to be outdone, and also began to recruit Ashigaru on a large scale, and the two wars were about to break out. Now these ronins are ready to try their luck after getting the news of the two families recruiting ronin, maybe they will be appreciated by their employers and even become samurai with status if they grab a few heads in the big war.

Masarashi pretended to taste sake while listening to the conversation of the ronin. It was found that this ronin seemed to have a clear understanding of the Maori family's origins. This situation made Masahiro vigilant. Suddenly remembered that Maori Yuan is famous for his resourcefulness, right? Zhengliang thought of two words, "spy". In order to increase their popularity, many powerful people will send some "spies" to lobby in various places to improve the reputation of their families. In this way, it can attract a lot of ronins to its territory, not to mention that this powerful man has obtained a lot of soldiers, and the local consumption of these ronins alone has brought a lot of income to the territory. If this is really the case, Masato really admires Maori Moto's strategy.

Overhearing such important information, Masarashi listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him who were drinking. If you don't listen to it, when you hear it, Masara was also taken aback, there are ronins from Mikawa here, and Masara also vaguely got news from Mikawa and Owari. Oda Nobuhide sent troops to attack Mikawa Ansho Castle.

Between Owari Province and Suruga Province, is Mikawa, the Saijo Kira clan and the Tojo Kira clan, who once ruled Mikawa, both Kira clan, were defeated in mutual battles and fights, Mikawa Province, in the Warring States Period, seems to be the epitome of troubled times, there are many local tyrants, not under each other's control, Mikawa, as if it is a piece of cake that has been cut too fragmented, can no longer be put together, the only way to reintegrate, it seems that the only way to reintegrate is to let the foreign big mouth swallow, and Imagawa and Oda, undoubtedly want to play the role of the big mouth. However, at this time, the country of Mikawa gave birth to its own Zhuoshi hero. The Mikawa Matsudaira clan, with Ansho Castle near Owari in the west of Mikawa as the main city, has gradually expanded its power since the long family. Kiyoyasu, the grandson of the eldest relative, moved the castle to Okazaki Castle a little east in the 6th year of Daiei (1526), and immediately launched a fierce fire for the unification of the kingdom. In the second year of Xiangroku (1529), Kiyoyasu captured the Imagawa clan after several generations, and established Yoshida Castle in Higashi-Mikawa, under the First World War, the wealthy clans of Higashi-Mikawa rebelled from Imagawa and fell to the umbrella of the Matsudaira clan, with a total of 50 families, and the exclusive position of the Matsudaira clan in Mikawa was determined by the end. In the fourth year of Astronomical (1535), Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, who was on the way to the unification of the three rivers, even broke out of the country, burned the flames of war to the territory of Owari Province, and went out to defend the mountain castle and fight against the Oda army. Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, who was later regarded as a genius who "lived to be thirty years old and could get the world", although Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was a beauty, but this young man in his twenties in the twenties and thirties of the sixteenth century in the East China Sea trajectories are absolutely gorgeous. However, as beautiful as the meteor is, the light is only for a moment. It was during this battle to defend the mountain that Kiyoyasu was unfortunately killed by his retainer Yashichiro Abe at the age of 25. Hurriedly encountered a big change, the Matsudaira army was defeated in the defensive mountain, was held down by Qingkang to death, and the Owari Tiger Nobuhide, who had been depressed for a long time, immediately raised the soldiers and chased them to Okazaki Castle, seven days and seven nights of siege warfare, although the Matsudaira clan was saved from extinction, but only this battle, the heroes all over the world clearly saw the emptiness of the Matsudaira clan without Qingkang, when the lord Guangzhong was only ten years old, the clan was scattered, not to mention the group of heroes who were already gathered under the aura of Qingkang's individual? The hegemony of the Matsudaira family began to crumble......

The flower of Matsudaira withered, and the old ministers of the family supported the young lord Hirotada, and in the face of Oda Nobuhide's powerful offensive, he was at a loss. In June of the ninth year of Astronomy (1540), Oda Nobuhide began to attack the old foundation of the Matsudaira clan, the important town of Nishimikawa, Ansho Castle, and prepared to establish a bridgehead in and out of Nishimikawa, and the tiger claws of Owari had been pressed on the heavenly spirit cover of the Matsudaira clan. Helpless, in order to prolong the life of the family, the old minister of the Matsudaira clan asked the Suruga Imagawa clan for help at the other pole. The Imagawa clan, who was expelled from Higashi-Mikawa during the Seiyasu period, certainly did not let go of this opportunity to make a comeback, and entered Mikawa again under the banner of helping the young lord Hirotada. Oda, Imagawa, and the two heroes faced each other in Mikawa Country have finally arrived.

Listening to this information, Zhengliang had a lot of thoughts. It seems that their arrival did not change the wheel of history. Both Mori and Oda are moving forward according to their original trajectory. So, near Ouchi, Otomo, and even the gradually rising Shimazu... Thinking of these guys who are still behemoths for the current Luo family, Zhengliang can't help but have a sense of urgency.

No, the Luo family will be the leader in this historical wave. The political conscience secretly made up his mind.

Outside the window, the sun was shining. In the distance in Hakata Bay, waves crash against the rocks on the shore, and the sound of waves can be heard.
