Hatakeyama Takamasa, the prodigal daughter whom the samurai family has ridiculed in recent times, is actually a tragic figure.
Since the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Ashikaga Shogun has always been a weak monarch.
Except for the third generation general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who broke out against the trend and stabilized the Ashikaga world, the other generals were more or less controlled by others.
The biggest threat to the Ashikaga family comes from within the shogunate, the most powerful of the three leaders and four positions, the Yamano family that occupies the eleven countries of the Western Kingdom.
In the past hundred years or so, most internal and external wars in recent years have arisen from internal struggles for power in the center of the shogunate, and entanglements between the generals and these four families.
The three chiefs are all relatives of Ashikaga, and the chiefs have the authority to manage the shogunate. Regardless of family status and official position, they seriously threaten the Ashikaga world.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mother, the twelfth generation shogun, had a conflict with the Awa Hosokawa family, and the Hosokawa family governor Kamira became the actual leader of the shogunate.
The twelfth generation general was forced to leave Kyoto and traveled to various places, losing control of the ministers.
The Awa Hosokawa clan also did not have a good end. The third son of the family, Changqing, usurped the foundation of the Four Kingdoms and destroyed the family and genocide.
By the time of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Yamano family was still living in the Western Kingdom, and the Shiba clan was supported by the guardian Oda family in Owari.
Only the Hatakeyama clan still owned Kii, and both Hanoi and Hanoi were important in the center of the shogunate. At this time, Hatakeyama Takamasa came to power.
The young Hatakeyama Takamasa made many mistakes, but without Ashikaga Yoshiteru's connivance and praise, the Hatakeyama clan would never have ended up like this.
Because of the coveting of iron cannons, the Hatakeyama family was driven out of Kii Country by Kuniichi Kui, and lost Hanoi in the recent war.
Hatakeyama Takamasa abandoned his dignity, gave Suzuki Shigehide Kii the guardianship, and acquiesced that the Mibuchi family swallowed Kitakawachi, only to get the support of Yoshigan.
The Shiba family united all parties to intimidate the Yusa family in Minamikouchi, and saved the tens of thousands of the Hatakeyama family's fragmented direct leaders in north and south Hanoi.
Having gotten into this position, Hatakeyama Takamasa recalled that when he first came to power and held a territory of 500,000 koku, he was very high-spirited and didn't know what to think.
The three leading clans all fell into decline, and the Ashikaga family struggled for a hundred years before finally seizing the power of the shogunate.
It's a pity that her family is also in its final years, and it's sad to see that the building is about to collapse.
In the review of recent battles, Yiyin had a breakup with Hatakeyama Takamasa. The two sides settled their grievances and did not owe each other anything.
Now that Hatakeyama Takamasa is here, why is she here?
In the meeting hall, Hatakeyama Takamasa was also filled with emotion.
When I first met Shiba Yiyin, she was a famous man with more than 200,000 shi in Hanoi, and he was just the last son of the Shiba family after the family was wiped out.
Although the Battle of Omi and Noryota made Yoshigan Saba's name famous, he was insignificant to the Hatakeyama family of Kawachi.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the two sides were at odds with each other. It was Hatakeyama Gaozheng's turn to be inferior to others, and he had to come to show his goodwill.
The current situation of the Hatakeyama family is too bad.
Since returning to the capital from the recent war, she has killed all the beautiful women raised in the mansion in front of her direct ministers and Bo Dai.
These forbidden beauties that she had cared for before were killed by her with her own hands in order to gain the trust of the retainers and stabilize her final base.
Then she went to Nankawachi, and took advantage of the opportunity of all parties to oppress Yuzuo's religion to break the boat and recapture the Hatakeyama direct territory of Nankawachi.
Hatakeyama Takamasa changed his mind, and now she has only one thought: she must not let the Hatakeyama family perish in her hands.
The Sanyuan family did not touch her direct leadership in Beihanei, and together with Nanhei, they also had thirty to forty thousand shi.
There seems to be a lot of them, but these territories are scattered in five or six places. Once a war breaks out, it will be difficult to unite into a joint force.
Previously, she was reorganizing her leadership in Hanoi and staying away from the disputes between the two families in Zulisbo.
The Hatakeyama family is not qualified to be on the wrong team. Hatakeyama Takamasa must see clearly before he dares to act.
She had a perverse personality when she came to power, but she lost Ji Yiguo and her reputation plummeted. The Hatakeyama family in Kawachi had more than 200,000 koku, and the Izumi Hosokawa family had 140,000 koku.
Although local powerful factions have always supported the general, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is secretly promoting the Hosokawa clan and suppressing her Hatakeyama clan.
After recent wars, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family fell, and the Shiba branch rose.
Yoshigan Shiba's battle was unparalleled, and he not only captured 200,000 Shinan and several territories, but also won over the Izumi-Hosokawa family.
The power of Hosokawa Mibuchi's family was greatly increased by borrowing flowers from Kitakogenchi of the Hatakeyama family and offering them to the Buddha.
During this dispute in Kyoto, Hatakeyama Takamasa looked on with cold eyes. Hosokawa Fujitaka came to power and had close ties with Shiba Yoshigan, and the forces of local powerful factions were integrated.
As the Hatakeyama family is part of a powerful local faction, she cannot just sit back and wait for death, she must join them.
While she was deep in thought, the sliding door opened and Yiyin walked in. She quickly bowed and saluted.
"Hello, Qianxin, the police."
"Master Hatakeyama is well."
The Hatakeyama family has fallen, but the family integrity is still there. There are still samurai in Kii and Hanoi who are loyal to her family, and Yoshigan must respect her.
After the two parties greeted each other, Yiyin asked.
"Why are you here, Lord Hatakeyama?"
Hatakeyama Takamasa said respectfully.
"I heard that Duke Kenshin intends to go to Kanto, and the Hatakeyama family is willing to contribute some strength to you."
Yoshigan glanced at the sincere-looking Governor of the Hatakeyama family.
As expected, one should not underestimate the world's heroes, but this prodigal girl's brain actually discovered her own intentions.
He said calmly.
"It's just an errand for the shogunate. I'm on an envoy to Guandong. I don't need any help."
You don’t have to admit it even if you see it.
Hatakeyama Takamasa lowered his head and took out a letter, placed it on the tatami, pushed it forward and said.
"That's what Duke Qianxin said.
However, to go to Kanto, it’s a long way to go via the Hokuriku Expressway. The Hatakeyama family has a branch in Noto. If you need it on the road, you can send this letter to the Noto Hatakeyama family.
The letter has my signature as proof, and I believe the Noto Diet will respond. "
Yiyin was stunned, he really wanted to accept this gift.
When the Hatakeyama family was in its heyday, it occupied the guardianship of the four countries. In addition to Kawachi Kii in recent years, there was also Hokuriku Noto, Vietnam and China.
Although he has lost real power now, his ancestor Yu Ze is still there, and the Noto Hatakeyama branch still has some power.
Yoshihiro Shiba went to Kanto, and what he was most worried about was that the information from the Hokuriku Road to Konki was interrupted and the two sides lost contact.
Noto Kingdom belonged to the Yue Kingdom in ancient times. After the Yue Kingdom, it was divided into the three kingdoms of Echizen, Echigo, Central and Echigo. The four counties of Noto were also separated and became an independent country.
It is located on the Noto Peninsula, connecting Kaga and Vietnam and China. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has numerous hills in the country. It is an important military stronghold in Hokurikudo.
If the Hatakeyama family can play a role, it will be very beneficial to Yoshinobu's trip to Kanto.
Hatakeyama Takamasa's petition was quite clever and scratched Yoshigan's itch.
Yiyin said frankly.
"No reward for no merit. Lord Hatakeyama loves you so much. Yoshigoshi deserves it."
Hatakeyama Takamasa said solemnly.
"Mr. Qianxin is too humble. You are the leader of our local powerful faction.
Thanks to your kindness, the Hatakeyama family can regain their direct livelihood and live in peace, so that they will not be homeless in a foreign land without a place to live.
Now that you are far away from Guandong, my family should do its best, and we hope that Qianxin will fulfill your wish. "
After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground and could not stand for a long time.
Yiyin couldn't help but sigh that the once unruly prodigal girl now has such a soft figure.
My kindness to you?
The kindness of giving your family's Kitakawachi to the Sanyuan family?
Or severely humiliate your kindness in the review?
He sighed, forget it, it's all for living, not shabby.
