Akechi Mitsuhide collected his thoughts and said.
"If Ishiyama Honganji Temple is really captured in winter, then you must conquer Tango Kingdom as soon as possible. The Oda family may make more big moves next year."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's heart moved.
"You mean His Highness Oda is going to attack the Mori family?"
Akechi Mitsuhide chuckled.
"The Mori family took in Araki Murashige, a rebellious minister, and sent people to prevent the Oda family from conquering Settsu Stone Mountain. They even supported General Ashikaga Yoshiaki in opening the Western Kingdom and establishing a new central government.
Neither the Oda family nor the Shiba family can tolerate the Maori family's nonsense anymore. Hashiba Hideyoshi's actions made me understand that the attack on the Western Kingdom was imminent, and His Highness Oda couldn't wait any longer.
The Maori family's power occupies both Shanyin and Shanyang, and its power spreads across ten countries, with a stone height of millions.
To attack such a powerful feudal lord, the Shiba and Oda families need to work together. We can't just leave everything to the Oda family. The Shiba family won't get anything, right? "
Hosokawa Fujitaka thought.
Tanba Kingdom and Tango Kingdom are originally one country. Tango Kingdom can be regarded as the entrance to Sanin, and Harima Kingdom is the entrance to Sanyang. Tanba Kingdom is between the two and is the barrier between Kyoto and the West.
When the Yamana family and the Tanba family were in conflict, the Kouchi family was on the side of the Yamana family, because there was no slight conflict between the Kouchi family and the Tanba family.
The Kouchi family lost the treasure trove of trade with Ming Dynasty, which ended badly. And because the governor of the Kouchi family had been assisting the general in Kyoto all year round, he paid little attention to distant territories, and the family business was stable.
Today's situation in the sky is not very clear yet. With the mountains low and the city strong, the Hao Shaoye family has less time to sit back and watch the storms in the sky.
The imperial court of the island country learned from the restructuring of the Celestial Dynasty and divided the island country into the Kinki region, with a total of eighty-eight kingdoms. It was not the so-called eighty-eight kingdoms in the previous life.
The Ouchi family took this opportunity to support the tenth general, Gao Luo, and was rewarded with the position of leader. He participated in shogunate politics and became the overlord of the Western Kingdom.
The declining Yamano family was suppressed and divided by the eighth-generation general Yang Chenglan. It was once strong, but it rose again and became known as the two heroes of the Western Kingdom together with the Kouchi family.
Before the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate, one of the seven Yamanoges guarded the eleven kingdoms of Sanin, Sanyang, and occupied one-eighth of the eighty-eight kingdoms in the sky, so it was also called the Eighth-Hall.
"It's enough to take Danzen Country and Harima Country. The position of Shiba Country is very troublesome."
Yoshiaki Toshi is a branch of the Kyogoku family, one of the seven positions in the shogunate. He serves as the guardian of the Kyogoku family in Izumo country. He expelled the master family and joined the Kouchi family, where he became more and more prosperous.
Because the Yamana family controls the eastern part of Saikuni, closer to Kinki, while the Kouchi family controls the eastern part of Saikuni and the northern four states.
Under the leadership of a generation of British lord Motonari Mori, the powerful Maori family of Aki Province seized every opportunity to eliminate the Ouchi family and Toshi Yoshiaki and become the new overlord of the Western Kingdom.
So when the Yamano family started a small fight with the Yang Cheng family and the eight governors and seven positions of the shogunate fell into internal massacres, the Ouchi family firmly stood by the Yamano family.
It's a pity that Danba Country is not under control, and this variable is too big. "
The Shan Ming family and the Yang Cheng family were in opposition, and the conflict between the two sides over the issue of the general's successor led to the Four Generations of Generals' Rebellion and kicked off the troubled times.
The Saigoku region is divided into north and south areas by low mountains, so it is divided into two routes, called Sanin (do) and Sanyodo (do).
Tanzen Kingdom faces Sanyang, Harima Kingdom faces Sanin, Shiba Kingdom is a barrier to Kyoto, and the Eight Kingdoms are all important gateways for Kinki to defend the Western Kingdom, and the shogunate is also guarded by important ministers.
Before Zui Shibaori passed away, the Yangcheng family and the Xiaouchi family ended their fight for the dominance of the Kanhe trade and grabbed the cornucopia.
The Yamano family was ultimately defeated by the Fourth Shogun Rebellion, but the Kouchi family was not harmed.
Shanyin is divided into seven countries and Shanyang is divided into four countries, making a total of eighteen territorial countries.
With the defeat of the Yamano family, the Tanba family gained the dominance of the shogunate. However, the rebellion of the fourth generation of shoguns disrupted the vitality of the shogunate samurai family. The heavenly samurai family was ready to end, and the troubled times officially began.
The Western Kingdom region is far from Kinki. Whenever a weak feudal clan rises, it will intervene in Kinki affairs. Therefore, the Western Kingdom direction has always been the focus of Kyoto's prevention.
The north side of the mountain shines with sunlight, so it was called Shanyin by the ancients, while the south side can shine with the sun, so it is called Shanyang.
Without the cornucopia of trade with Ming Dynasty, Yang Chenglan could disperse a small amount of wealth and create the eight thousand warriors of the Ashikaga Hui clan who are enemies in the sky.
“Next year, if I take Tango Kingdom and Hideyoshi Hashiba takes Harima Country, it will open the door to the two realms of Shanyin and Yang in the Western Kingdom.
Surrender or destruction, there is always no clear attitude, Hideharu Hatano must make a decision early. "
Tanba Country is a country of mountains hanging to the west of Kyoto. With mountains facing the basin, it can directly break into Kyoto from a high position.
The Danzen guardian is one of the seven members of the Isshiki family, the Harima guardian is one of the seven members of the Akamatsu family, and the Shiba guardian is one of the eight members of the Tanba family.
In order to compete for the hegemony of the Western Kingdom, the Ouchi family and Toshi Yoshiaki fought hard, but in the end they got the advantage of the Maori family.
Because in history, the story of helping a fallen general from the Western Kingdom return to power in Kyoto has happened several times. Who dares to say that it will be successful that time?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
Based in the Izumo Kingdom of Sanyang Province, Toshiaki rebelled against the Kouchi family, and eventually developed into a minor name that could influence the two Eleven Kingdoms of Sanin and Sanyang, and became a thorn in the side of the Kouchi family.
There is no precedent. Before the prosperity of the shogunate, the Kinki forces often lured wolves into the house, always looking for allies in the Western Kingdom to counterattack Kyoto.
A neat young man from Kinki, the overlord of the Western Kingdom came out several times to participate in the disputes in Kinki. The Yamano family and the Kouchi family were all important participants in shogunate politics.
Ashikaga Takauji, the first Ashikaga shogun, returned to Kyoto with the help of the 100,000 imperial family members of the Western Kingdom. The tenth shogun used the strength of the Ouchi family to succeed Luo as the general.
Therefore, the Maori family's political investment in rival Yang Chenglan was seen as extremely provocative by the Hosokawa and Oda families, and the Maori family's thorn in the side must be killed.
The two words Shanyin and Shanyang originated from the Celestial Dynasty.
Tanba Fujitaka thought for a while and softened it again.
That was also the reason why Ashikaga Yoshimitsu reopened the government in the territory of the Mori family and established a new central government, which caused a great deal of resentment among the Hosokawa and Oda families.
But that time, it was the turn of the Kinki forces to counterattack the Saigoku region. The Oda family and the Hosokawa family were preparing to join forces to kill the Maori family's confidant who was the center and took in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
The west side of Tanba Kingdom is the bridgehead for Kinki forces to enter the Western Kingdom.
The eighth shogun Ashikaga Ori was able to integrate the shogunate and make the Ashikaga shogun truly the master of heaven. The smallest reason is not that you defeated the Ming Dynasty emperor, got the canonization, and got Kanhe trade.
The conflict between the Tanba family and the Ouchi family also intensified. Finally, when the Celestial Empire returned its tribute, the two sides got into a small fight, causing the Ningbo Japanese Rebellion, which led the Ming Dynasty to simply stop the exploration and trade with the island country.
"So you want to ask him to help you communicate with the Hatano family. You are willing to have a bad talk with the Hatano family as the representative of the Hosokawa and Oda families in the Fushimi Castle system.
