The Matsudaira family originated in Matsudaira Township, Kamo County, Mikawa Province, and the place of residence was named Miao.
The ancestors are a branch of the Kamo clan, a clan of priests who come to Mikawa Province Shrine as servants. As an ancient Shinto priest, Mr. Kamo can be considered a respectable and decent person.
Although after the emperor was slaughtered, Shintoism disappeared. But the Songping family has successfully transformed into a local samurai family and is doing well.
Her family's bloodline cannot be compared with the Fujiwara, Minamoto, and Equality clans, but it is on the same level as the ancestors of the Sanada family's Shino clan.
But Matsudaira Motoyasu was not satisfied with this. She looked serious at this time and said solemnly.
"The ancestor of the Matsudaira family is the Kawachi Genji, a member of the Nitta family, and a descendant of the Seroda family."
After Matsudaira Motoyasu finished talking nonsense in a serious manner, a word came to the minds of the three people sitting down at the same time, pretending to be the leader.
Matsudaira Motoyasu's deeds have already been done by the Hojo family. The Ise woman took the Hojo Miao name and was known as a famous family in the Kanto Plain. Unfortunately, the Kanto samurai family did not buy it and called her the Go-Hojo family in disdain.
Matsudaira Motoyasu obviously felt that his family's family background was too low to suppress the samurai families of Mikawa and Yuanjiang. Then he hurriedly found an ancestor with a powerful bloodline to support him.
The three of them knew that Matsudaira Motoyasu was shamelessly trying to claim his ancestors, and Matsudaira Motoyasu also knew that his statement could not deceive the three of them. Everyone looked serious, the speaker believed what was happening, and the listeners believed it.
Matsudaira Motoyasu also took great pains to choose this ancestor.
The Nitta family is a branch of the Kawachi Genji family. At the beginning, the ancestors of the Ashikaga family thrived in Ashikaga Village. The eldest daughter inherited Ashikaga Village, and the second daughter moved to the new farm. Each of them named the village Miao.
Therefore, the Ashikaga family and the Nitta family are actually two branches of the eldest daughter and the second daughter.
Later, the line of the Kamakura shogunate, Minamoto Yoritomo, was extinct, and the direct descendants of the Kawachi Minamoto clan were transferred to the Ashikaga line. The shogunate was under the control of the former Hojo family, and the shogun selected his puppets from the emperor's descendants.
When the Kamakura shogunate collapsed, the world was in chaos. The Ashikaga family and the Nitta family fought fiercely in order to seize the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi, and even more to fight for the world.
Afterwards, the Nitta family was defeated, and the Ashikaga family took over the world of the samurai family and the direct line of the Kawachi Genji family. Today, the closest branch of the Nitta family is the Satomi family on the Boso peninsula, which is called the Nitta family's shogunate family.
The Zong family in the general branch, why? Because all the direct descendants were killed by the Ashikaga family.
If Matsudaira Motoyasu pretends to be of noble blood, at least he cannot be any worse than the Imagawa family, the Ashikaga clan, and she has no guts to pretend to be the Ashikaga clan.
The name of Kawachi Genji is useful, and the bloodline of the Nitta family is noble enough. Moreover, being hunted by the Ashikaga family, the reason for hiding his name makes sense, as he is not afraid of his own clan members jumping out to question his origins.
The Nitta family was killed and fled in all directions. Who knew who escaped, and there was no reason to come out to accuse the family of pretending to be the leader, offending a daimyo who was in charge of both countries.
The Ashikaga family has been in the world for two hundred years and has many branches. The world's samurai family believes that the Ashikaga family is the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.
Therefore, the Ashikaga family now does not care if there are samurai claiming to be descendants of the Nitta family. The Nitta family cannot take away the direct descendants unless the Ashikaga clan is destroyed.
Sakai Chuji thought for a while and asked carefully.
"I have never heard that the Matsudaira family has blood from the Nitta family. If there is any hidden secret, I would like to ask the family supervisor to make it clear."
What she means is that you have to make it real. It doesn't matter if they fool us, the main thing is to fool outsiders. If you can't even deceive the people of Yuanjiang, then just stop making it up to avoid making people laugh.
Matsudaira Motoyasu sighed and spoke slowly.
“When the Ashikaga Shogunate was first established, the Ashikaga Shogun ordered the execution of the rebellious Nitta family.
The ancestor was a descendant of Shi Liangtian and was also among those killed. In order to seek refuge, he was forced to become a nun. He wandered all the way to Songping Township in Mikawa Country, where he met a local man named Nobushige Matsudaira.
Matsudaira Nobushige invited his ancestors to return home to teach the Dharma, but unexpectedly discovered that his ancestors were both wise and courageous and had extraordinary origins, so he began to think of recruiting his ancestors to marry him.
The ancestor also had nowhere to live, so he agreed to marry into the family. From then on, he changed his name to the Matsudaira family and inherited the Matsudaira family business. "
The three of them nodded, thoughtfully.
This story is well written and has no flaws. It should be able to deceive the bumpkins from Yuanjiang Country. Moreover, since the Ii family received such a huge benefit from the Matsudaira family, there must be something in return.
As long as Ii Naotora is willing to admit this, there will be no doubt about the origin of Matsudaira Motoyasu among the people in Yuanjiang. Regardless of whether this is true or not, at least the Wu families in Sanhe Yuanjiang and the two countries will admit it.
Sakai Chuji asked.
"Your Highness, are you planning to change the name of your ancestors to Miao, Serangtian?"
Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head.
The word "Serada" is so eye-catching that it will attract the attention of the Ashikaga family whenever it is raised. She just wanted to fool the people of Yuanjiang. As long as she could do it, why bother herself?
she said.
"Seroda can also be called Tokugawa, and my ancestor later practiced at Tokugawa Tokmanji Temple. In order to commemorate my ancestor, I decided to change the Miao name to Tokugawa.
The Yuan character in my name was given by Imagawa Yoshimoto, but it is no longer appropriate to use it today.
Since we recognize our ancestors and return to our clan, we should use the family name of our ancestor Yuan Yi family. The Wu family should put family business first and encourage themselves to work hard for the family business.
From today on, I am Tokugawa Ieyasu. "
The three of them nodded silently, Matsudaira Motoyasu was really thick-skinned.
Not only did she pretend to take over the Nitta family, but she also brought out the most famous Hachiman Tai Ni, the Genyoshi family, in the direct line of the Genji family in Kawachi to put money on her face.
Seeing that their master was so shameless, the three of them became more confident in the prosperity of their family business, so they bowed together and said in unison.
"I have met His Highness Tokugawa Ieyasu."
Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled slightly and asked the three of them to get up. Her actions today were all the result of careful consideration.
Surprise attack on Kakechuan City and capture Dongyuanjiang River. Changed his residence to Hamamatsu Castle and won over the Ii family. Change the Miao name to Dechuan to add a noble blood background to your family.
These three strategies are all aimed at stabilizing the two countries in Sanheyuanjiang and planning for greater development in the future.
The Matsudaira family, no, it’s the Tokugawa family now, and it won’t stop at Mikawa and Tokugawa. I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will lead the Tokugawa family towards a more glorious future.
With a smile on his face, Tokugawa Ieyasu happily accepted the congratulations of the three important ministers, officially recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, and from then on regarded himself as a descendant of a famous family.
———
It's a hot summer day, and the whole of Kyoto feels like it's being boiled in a furnace.
In the imperial palace, Ashikaga Yoshiki was sitting cross-legged in the tea room, feeling hot in his heart and unable to calm down for a long time. There were three people sitting in front of her, namely Wada Weimasa, Hitoshi Yoshimasa, and Yagyu Muneyan.
Ashikaga Yoshiki thought for a moment and said decisively.
"Gimasa-hime, when the summer harvest is over, you will return to Sakamoto Castle with the Ashikaga horses.
In addition, we should use the slack season between summer and autumn harvests to mobilize farmers and soldiers to transport supplies. It is guaranteed that if there is a conflict with the Rokkajia family after the autumn harvest, there will be no logistical problems. "
Niki Yoshimasa was stunned and said hesitantly.
"Master Gongfang, if this happens, Fushimi Castle and Nijo Castle will be empty.
What if something happens here in Shancheng Country? Should some troops be left to guard the Kyoto Imperial Palace? "
