When he learned that Mitamura Tadayori and Asai Ryomasa had a truce, and the conditions for the truce were to let him cross over to Itancheng and allow his adopted son Mitamura Sadayori to marry Asai Ryomasa's daughter, Kyogoku Takahiro was filled with disappointment.
In the end, Mitamura Tadamasa still had no pressure to settle down. In addition to agreeing to marry the Asai family, he still transferred Uesaka Castle to the Asai family. The alliance under the city is helpless at the mercy of others.
In the eyes of Kyogoku Takahiro, the Mitamura family's move undoubtedly favored Asai Ryomasa's side, and his side lost one more bargaining chip.
In general, the seventh year of Dayei was very peaceful. In Omi, there was only a war between Asai Ryomasa and Mitamura Tamasa, and the war quickly calmed down, so for the people of Omi, the past year was not bad. .
After finishing the last piece of rice cake on the plate, Master Sanlang welcomed the New Year with his family.
There are currently 11 members of the Kyogoku family in Kamiheiji Castle, including Kyogoku Takahiro and his wife, Mrs. Kotogawa, plus two side rooms. Master Saburo and his two younger brothers, six-year-old Gorobei and three-year-old Taramaru (concubine). In addition, there is a concubine sister Aju and a legitimate sister Atong. Atong's name was obtained by Master Sanlang because this sister has a pair of sparkling eyes.
In addition to Master Saburo's grandmother Chozanden, and Kyogoku Takahiro's younger brother Kyogoku Hidetsuna, there are a total of 11 people.
After the meal, the women sat around and chatted about home affairs. Master Saburo took Gorobei, Aju and other children to play house games in the yard, although Master Saburo was not willing to play.
As for Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku Hidetsuna, they were discussing the situation in Kitaomi.
"Brother, after Asai Ryomasa defeated the Mitamura family last year, the people of Ixiang County and Asai County have obviously become much more honest. Asai Ryomasa's control over Asai County has become more and more stable."
"Over in Takashima County, our family failed to mediate between the Shinzo family and the Takashima family, and the war between the two families was about to break out. In addition, Asai Ryomasa asked his son-in-law and adopted son Asai (Taya) Akimasa to adopt the Takashima family and become the lord of Kaizu Castle. There may be an intention to get involved in Takashima County.”
"This year, I think it will be another troubled year!" Kyogoku Hidetsuna is not tall and very fat. Fortunately, he is not ugly and looks like an honest person. However, he is still capable of assisting Kyogoku Takahiro. He handled a lot of family affairs, and Kyogoku Takahiro also trusted his younger brother very much.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna is the youngest son of Kyogoku Takahide, and he was adopted to Kyogoku Takahide, the bastard son of Kyogoku Katsuhide, Kyogoku Takahide's father. According to the family line, the two are cousins rather than full brothers.
After listening to Kyogoku Hidetsuna's words, Kyogoku Takahiro also fell into silence.
"How is the situation at the Kawaguchi family?" After a long time, Kyogoku Takahiro asked.
Speaking of the Kawaguchi family, Kyogoku Hidetsuna also showed a smile, "Kawaguchi Keigen repeatedly cut off the water supply on the east bank of the Takatoki River during spring plowing last year, and the Asai family's territory on the west bank was also affected. Although it was also opened intermittently later. Water supply, but it cannot meet the needs of Ika County on the east bank of the Takatoki River and Asai County on the west bank."
"It is said that last year's autumn harvest, the Asai family had a severe harvest failure. The Asai family only harvested 17,000 koku of grain from their 50,000-meter land. For this reason, Asai Ryomasa sent envoys to the Kawaguchi family more than once to negotiate, but they all returned without success.
"If the Kawaguchi family continues to be like this this year, I'm afraid the Asai family will have a difficult time!" Speaking of the Asai family's pain points, Kyogoku Hidetsuna was dancing with joy.
Kyogoku Takahiro was so happy that he couldn't help but ask, "With Asai Ryomasa's strength, how could he swallow his anger when being treated like this by the Kawaguchi family?"
"First of all, the Asai family and the Kawaguchi family are separated by the Takashi River, and the Iguchi family is not weak. Secondly, due to the covetousness of the Minami Omi Rokkaku family, Asai Ryomasa did not dare to launch a large-scale war, so he could only appease the Kawaguchi family. method, but now the result of appeasement seems to be average." Kyogoku Hidetsuna explained.
"I see. As a result, Asai Ryomasa's life will be difficult!" Nothing makes Kyogoku Takahiro happier than seeing Asai Ryomasa suffer. If so, it can only be Asai Ryomasa's suffering. b is not serious enough.
"There is another matter that I think brother should be careful about." Just when Kyogoku Takahiro was extremely happy, Kyogoku Hidetsuna spoke again.
"What should I be wary of?" Kyogoku Takahiro had just returned from Kyoto, and he really didn't know much about Kitaomi's recent situation.
The heads of the Kyogoku family have lived in Kyoto for many years. Part of the purpose of Kyogoku Takahiro's repeated trips to Kyoto was to make friends with the ministers and shogunate in Kyoto, so that he, the head of the Kyogoku family, could have more " Legality"! Because until now, neither the shogunate nor the imperial court has recognized Kyogoku Takahiro's status.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna said with a solemn face, "Recently, suspicious characters have appeared frequently in Sakata and Asai counties. And some people said that they saw Nobumitsu Uesaka in the area. I guess there is no need to say more about the rest, right?"
"Hiss!" After listening to Kyogoku Hidetsuna's words, Kyogoku Takahiro took a breath of cold air, "Has what is supposed to come finally come? Father and Takayoshi will definitely not give up, but I don't know when they will. Take action?"
"No matter what, my family should have taken precautions early!"
"Um!"
In the eighth year of Dayei (AD 1528), what Kyogoku Takahiro and others were worried about finally happened, but the final result was beyond the expectations of Kyogoku Takahiro and others.
It was originally thought that the counterattack of Kyogoku Koji and Kyogoku Takayoshi and his son would occur within the Kyogoku family territory, but it ended up breaking out within the Asai family territory.
The Uesaka clan, headed by Uesaka Nobumitsu, supported Kyogoku Takayoshi and launched the "Ikaku" in Uesaka and Yokoyama cities! Due to the sudden incident, the Asai family was completely unprepared. Uesaka Nobumitsu and Kyogoku Takayoshi successively captured several of the Asai family's castles, and the situation became more and more fierce.
Just as Asai Ryomasa was preparing to send troops, the Imai family in the southwest of Sakata County did not know what happened and sent more than a thousand troops to attack Imahama Castle.
Asai Ryomasa did not dare to neglect, and asked his younger brother Asai Ien and Asai Kiyomasa, Asai Nomasa and others to strictly guard the various walls of the Asai family to guard against the attack launched by Uesaka Nobumitsu and Kyogoku Takayoshi. On the other hand, Asai Liangzheng personally led more than 1,500 troops to attack the invading Imai family.
The two sides fought fiercely near the Naibo Riverbank. Although the Imai family's attack was successfully repelled, the Asai family themselves also suffered more than a hundred casualties.
At the same time, inside the Kamiheiji Castle Castle, Kyogoku Takahiro held an emergency assessment.
"After the change of the Yuan Dynasty (on August 20, the 8th year of Daiei, Emperor Go-Nara changed the reign name of Dayi to Kōroku, which was the first year of Kōroku), the Omi Rebellion broke out again."
"The invasion of Asai County by Nobumitsu Uesaka, Takayoshi Kyogoku and the Imai family this time is obviously not an accident. Although the attack occurred within the Asai family territory, it is not known whether it will affect our territory!"
"Father has not shown up yet, which makes people feel uneasy. What do you think of this?" Kyogoku Takahiro turned his attention to the retainers sitting in the hall.
However, it is a pity that the retainers of the Kyogoku family are also helpless in the face of such an unexpected situation. At this time, an unexpected person appeared in Shangping Temple City
