The territory of the Ninagawa family is in Tamba Country, and Ninagawa himself is very familiar with the local situation.
she said.
"The Sanhao family failed to go to Luo and returned without success.
In order to appease the samurai family at home, Miyoshi Nagakei extorted a lot of land from the surrendered Hatano family and gave it to the Shikoku samurai family. This caused strong dissatisfaction among the local samurai families in Tamba Country.
You know how Tanba Kingdom hated the Shikoku samurai family and expelled the Hosokawa clan. "
Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded.
The guardian of Tanba Kingdom was originally the Hosokawa clan, because the Hosokawa clan's base was in Awa Kingdom of Shikoku, and they preferred to assign Shikoku samurai to be stationed in Tanba Kingdom to handle affairs, and they were quite harsh on the local samurai.
Afterwards, the Tanba samurai rebelled, and the local samurai headed by the Hatano family, Naito family, and Akai family expelled the Hosokawa clan.
At that time, the Miyoshi family was still under the Hosokawa clan, and the Hosokawa clan was competing with the Ashikaga Shogun for power in the shogunate.
General Ashikaga simply transferred the duty of guarding Tamba to the Hatano family, which was the most powerful in Tamba, causing the Hosokawa clan to suffer a big loss.
The original governor of the Hatano family, Ueshimichi, was also a British leader. She provoked a conflict between the Akai family and the Naito family, and then allied with the Akai family to kill the Naito family, the guardian of Tanba, and completely took control of the Tanba country.
It's a pity that my mother is great, but my daughter is a fool. Her daughter Hatano Harumichi was captured by Miyoshi Yoshihide, which forced the Hatano family to surrender, and the Tanba samurai family was defeated without a fight.
The national stone of Tamba is 260,000 high and its geographical location is extremely important.
In recent times, the Western Kingdom region to the west is divided into north and south parts with the Chinese mountains as the boundary. The south of the mountain is yang, and the north of the mountain is yin, which is called Shanyang Road and Shan**.
The Danba Kingdom is the easternmost country in the mountains, connecting the neighboring countries. Tanba Highlands overlooks the Kyoto Basin and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
When the shogunate was powerful, this place was given the protection of the Hosokawa family, one of the three leaders, because the threat to Kyoto from the Tanba Kingdom was too great.
The Danba Mountains are barren, with many mountains and few fields. The main cultivated land in the country from west to east is the Fukuchiyama Basin, Sasayama Basin, and Kameoka Basin.
Among the three powerful families of Tamba Kingdom, the Akai family encroached on Fukuchiyama, the Hatano family controlled Sasayama, and Kameoka was divided into the territory of the Naito family and the shogunate.
Now that the Naito family has been exterminated, the Miyoshi family has invaded Tamba Country to seize farmland.
In the original peace talks, Yoshigan Shiba argued hard and did not allow the Miyoshi family to take over the shogunate territory of Tamba Kingdom, which was the shogunate territory headed by the Ninagawa family.
Because after passing the Kameoka Basin, you will reach the Kyoto Basin. If the Miyoshi family uses the Kameoka Basin as a base to directly attack Yamashiro Country, it will pose a great threat to the shogunate in Kyoto.
As a result, Yoshihiro Saba received the support of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and the shogunate territory headed by the Ninagawa family was preserved during the negotiations. They occupied the Kirino-Kawachi front line and monitored the movements of the Miyoshi family in Tanba.
As for the domestic martial arts families in Tanba, the powerful Miyoshi family has no scruples. The cultivated land in Fukuchiyama, Sasayama, and Kameoka were all reduced and restructured, causing great dissatisfaction among the local samurai families.
In particular, the Akai family, the main ally of the Hatano family in ruling Tamba country, was very angry. The Fukuchiyama Basin that her family considered forbidden was eroded by the Miyoshi family, and the efforts of several generations were in vain.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru even suspected that Hatano Harumichi was forced to die of illness under internal and external pressure. Hatano Hideji, the successor, immediately expressed his respect to the shogunate and may take action after the spring plowing.
The general is happy to see this happen.
Since the death of Miyoshi Changqing, there have been signs of civil strife in the Miyoshi family.
If something happens to the Tanba country under the control of the Miyoshi family, it will further break the balance of power within the Miyoshi family, Kongo and the Shikoku.
If this intensifies conflicts within the Miyoshi family, or even starts a civil war, it will be very beneficial to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
The general slapped the document and said.
"Hatano Hideharu is the guardian of Tamba and respects the shogunate. I am determined to grant her the status of a companion of the shogunate."
As soon as the general said this, Ninagawa himself frowned when he came out to reply.
When the shogunate negotiated with the Miyoshi family, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Nagakei were not sincerely harmonious, leaving many loopholes for future comebacks.
For example, the positive and negative identities of Sanhao Changqing's imperial companions, enemies of the martial arts, and enemies of Buddha have not been recognized and clarified.
Another example is that the legal basis for the Miyoshi family to rule Tamba Country, and the duty of Tamba guardian still rests on Hasono Harumichi.
Hatano Harumichi surrendered to the Miyoshi family, and the Miyoshi family was the ruler of Tamba country. Now that she is dead and her daughter succeeds to the throne, she is ready to rebel. How to deal with this matter?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru recognized Hatano Hideharu's Tanba guardianship and gave him the status of a companion of the shogunate. This was naked instigation.
Ninagawa Himashi thought for a moment and then admonished.
"Master Gongfang, there is an agreement between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family. It is better to keep a low profile on the Tamba incident."
The territory of the Ninagawa family is in Tanba country, which is the northern frontier of the conflict between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate. Like the Izumi Hosokawa family in the south, she very much did not want another conflict between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her and hummed.
"I did have an agreement with Miyoshi Changqing, but she is already dead!
How long has it been since her daughter succeeded to the throne of Sanhao Family Governor? Have you ever written to the shogunate to show your respect? Do you have any respect for me, the general?
Since she doesn't want to be decent, then I will grant it to her. This time it's just a small warning. If Miyoshi Yoshitsugu still doesn't understand, I don't mind having a good talk with her. "
Of course Ashikaga Yoshiki understands Ninagawa's thoughts, but she has her own considerations.
The three Miyoshis occupy Settsu and Tamba, confronting Miyoshi Yoshitsugu on the Shikoku side. If the Tanba Kingdom samurai family raises troops to drive out the Miyoshi family, what choice will Miyoshi Yoshitsugu make?
Should they help the Miyoshi family stabilize their position, or should they take the opportunity to root out the enemies within and regain control of the entire Miyoshi family?
Even if Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sincerely helps, will Miyoshi and the other three people believe him? Aren't they afraid of false Taoist attacks?
No matter what, the fragile balance within the Miyoshi family will be unbalanced due to the Tamba incident. Ashikaga Yoshiki, who has successfully integrated the shogunate, also needs this opportunity.
Externally, but also internally, he shows his majesty and expands his power.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Mibuchi Haru and asked.
"Lord Sanyuan, do you think what I said is right?"
"Hi, General Yingming."
Sanbuchi Haru agreed casually and looked at her daughter subconsciously. The general followed her gaze and looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka with a smile.
Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed in her heart, the general really took the path she worried about. Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who suppressed the shogunate, began to covet local powerful factions.
As the front line against the Miyoshi family, the pressure on the Hosokawa-Miyoshi family was far greater than that of the Ninagawa family in the Tanba Mountains.
Once the shogunate and the Miyoshi family are at odds again, the Hosokawa Miyoshi family cannot fight against the powerful Miyoshi family alone, and she will have to seek asylum from the shogunate.
But the leader of the shogunate's local faction, Yoshigan Ushiba, is not around. Ashikaga Yoshiteru really wants to instruct the powerful local faction. Will Hosokawa Fujitaka listen?
She was unsure and didn't dare to speak up.
Hosokawa Fujitaka, as the actual controller of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, said nothing, and it was useless for Mibuchi Haru to speak.
Ashikaga Yoshiki frowned slightly, she reached out to the local powerful faction who lacked confidence. If Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't respond, it's hard to push her too hard.
The general thought for a moment, looked at Mitsuhide Akechi, who was sitting elegantly, and asked.
"Akechiji, what do you think?"
Akechi Mitsuhide came out and bowed, speaking seriously.
"It all depends on Lord Gongfang's orders. Akechi Mitsuhide dares not to obey."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru nodded with satisfaction, but Hosokawa Fujitaka was even more angry.
