Chapter 253: Japan's Warring States Period

The action of the old guy is very smooth, that is because this action is the old guy team in the reality of the repeated demonstration, most of the strain under the real space of the expert argument to give a reasonable solution, plus the strength of the old eight itself, it is handy.

Mak Linglong was not so lucky. Her outdated Goryeo royal lineage was largely useless, and the legend of the Eight Points was only in effect within the Ming Dynasty, and very few people in Japan had heard of her name.

Since the key word given is the Japanese Kou, there is a lot of information about Japan, and the most important thing is the current situation in Japan.

In 1523, Japan's Warring States period entered a period of turmoil. Emperor Kashiwahara Katsuhito had fallen to the extreme, and when he succeeded to the throne in 1500, the emperor had no money of his own, and a special tax had to be levied through the shogunate if he wanted to hold an enthronement ceremony.

The problem is that the current Muromachi shogunate is also empty, and the shogun Ashikaga family has no real power, and the shogun's ruler, Hosokawa Masamoto, is in charge of almost all domestic and military powers. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu fell out of harmony with the Hosokawa family for a long time and lost most of his rights, and later the Hosokawa family even mastered the abolition of the shogun, and the former emperor Tsuchigomon died, and the shogunate could not even afford the royal funeral expenses, and finally buried the matter hastily.

Even this Hosokawa Masamoto was able to say to his face that "the enthronement ceremony is useless and wastes money." The emperor succeeded to the throne for five or six years, but he could not afford to hold a succession ceremony, and the shogun was sometimes trapped and sometimes fled, and he was too busy to take care of himself, and he could not control the life or death of the emperor at all.

It wasn't until 1521 that Emperor Kashiwahara, who had been on the throne for twenty-two years, finally saved enough money to barely hold an enthronement ceremony, which was considered one of his wishes, and died within a few years.

He was succeeded by Emperor Go-Nara, who also did not save enough money for the succession ceremony, but he was a little luckier than his father, and it only took ten years to save enough.

This was the emperor at that time.

As mentioned above, the shogunate actually didn't mix. From the Onin War in 1467, the shogunate began to gradually lose its dominance over its subordinate daimyos, and even the power of the shogunate's actual control of the region was controlled by the retainer Hosokawa family, which at its peak was able to skip the emperor's direct leadership over the deposition of the shogun.

The real power of the Hosokawa family was in the hands of the retainer Miyoshi clan, and Miyoshi Chokei actually held the dominant power of the Muromachi shogunate.

To sort it out, it is that the power of the emperor is in the shogunate, and the power of the shogunate is in the hands of the retainers, and the power of the retainers is in the hands of the retainers, which is the so-called lower keshang.

Many daimyo who lost control of each other bred a large number of pirates, especially the southern daimyos, who regarded the plundering of Chinese mainland as the largest income; In addition to wreaking havoc on the mainland, these pirates will also extend to the waters of the Ming Dynasty, which is the main source of Japanese pirates.

By the time Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan in 1615, the people gradually settled down from the war, and the source of the Japanese invaders gradually disappeared. The Wako Rebellion itself originated from war, and it caused even greater wars, even wars between countries, and it is likely that a "war" broke out between two nicknames because of a shipload of goods.

It is not so much a war as a private fight. The area controlled by the daimyo may be as big as a few prefectures, and the average nickname may be a few towns, and the scale of the battle can be imagined, so the battle between the two daimyo can probably be described like this.

"My lord, my subordinates should be damned, Huoding Castle is lost!"

"Baga, how many people are coming from the other party?"

"Many, many, it looks like it's more than thirty!"

"Shruga, give you fifty people, and take back Huocho Castle for me."

……

Having said that, it was by no means easy for Mak Linglong to intervene in the war between the Japanese daimyos.

Japan attaches great importance to the continuation of bloodlines, and of course there is no doubt about the Ashikaga family of the Muromachi Shogunate, which comes from the "Gen surname", and the Genji itself is a royal family that has been reduced to a vassal, so there is no problem with being a royal family.

And the Hosokawa clan, which controls the Ashikaga family, is a branch of the Ashikaga family. The Miyoshi clan, where Miyoshi Chokei is located, is another branch of Genji.

All in all, it's just a battle within the family.

In this case, Mai Linglong is a "ronin" background, and it may not be difficult to obtain the status of a samurai, but if you want to enter the core power level of a certain daimyo, there is no hope at all without the efforts of several generations.

Mai Linglong, who figured this out, had no such plans at all, she had another shortcut.

She directly fabricated the identity of a branch of the "Genji" family for herself, named her family the Tahei clan, and even recorded the family tree of the eighteenth generation of her ancestors in detail, which can trace one of the princes who descended from the first generation of Emperor KamiNara.

This is a fake made by seven or eight experts in Japanese history, and ordinary people really can't find any flaws.

There are also several powerful "retainers" around her, which is more like confirming her identity.

Needless to say, these retainers are of course three of the "Eighteen Horsemen of the Zhang Family" recruited by Zhao Gao, and their personal combat power has reached the B level of the plot!

It's just that because the distance with Zhao Gao is too far, these three people were equivalent to disposable supplies after being brought over by Mai Linglong, and after they died, Zhao Gao summoned them again, and it is estimated that it will not work for half a year.

In addition, she also has the personal support of the ancestor of the Japanese Kou, although the eighth only accounts for 10% of the profit, but the amount accumulated over the years is also extremely considerable, and the accumulated wealth is amazing, almost continuously conveyed.

With the support of high-end combat power inside and the supply of old eight coins and grain outside, Mai Linglong inserted in the name of righteousness and offered 1,600 gold (1,600 taels of silver and silver) to Emperor Kashiwahara, the emperor, and successfully won the recognition of the imperial family, and the surname corresponded to the Genji family, and Mai Linglong also obtained the status of a nobleman.

Anyway, the Imperial Family is too poor to open the pot now, as for whether it is or not, there are already a lot of branches in the Genji who have been reduced to vassals, and there must be a lot of water mixed in them, and there are too many lice to itch, and I don't care about such a thing.

As for donating money to obtain an official position, it is also a characteristic of this era. In the second year of astronomical history, the emperor sent an imperial envoy to Kanto to ask for gold from the famous names of Imagawa, Hojo, Asakura, and Nagao, and only Ouchi Yoshitaka of Zhou Fang donated 2,200 gold alone. The emperor was overjoyed, and the enthronement ceremony was finally held. After that, the first thing was to give Ouchi Yoshitaka an official position of Dazai Daiji, and the cub was not distressed by selling Yetian, and the emperor obtained a donation by selling his official position, and made himself live a little more comfortable in the troubled times, which was normal.

In the sixth year of Daiei, the emperor died. Mai Linglong, who had been accumulating strength for three or four years, finally erected a banner, established herself as a daimyo, and captured parts of Satsuma and Hyuga, forming one of the many daimyo forces.

Like Lao Ba, reaching this step is basically the limit of Mai Linglong's ability, among the many daimyos, she can only be regarded as a weak one, and she has no dominance, let alone the ability to unify Japan, and she has no ability to stop the Japanese invaders generated in the war, and it can even be said that she herself is one of the sources of the Japanese invaders.
