With the capture of the cities of Akahorikan and other Asaimei counties, and the surrender of the Kasukabe clan and other Northern Powers, the Kyogoku family's rule over the two counties of Kanben and Asaimei has been basically formed.
However, as the news spread that the Kyogoku family captured the two counties of Yuanben and Tomei, it once again caused an uproar in Ise.
In fact, the people of Ise originally paid a certain amount of attention to the recent unrest in the Beishe area, but they did not pay much attention to it.
After all, Ise is known as the Little Warring States Period. Such turmoil and wars are staged almost every day, and the people of the country are already used to it.
But what the people did not expect was that the situation in the northern area would change so dramatically.
Several powerful people were wiped out one after another, but the Kyogoku family, an outsider from Omi country, actually captured the two counties of Yuanben and Chaomei one after another.
The situation in Ise suddenly exploded. Various detectives and ninjas left their bases in various places and went to the Beishe area to explore the true and false status of the Kyogoku family.
At the same time, a question also appeared in the minds of many Ise people, what is the Kyogoku family doing?
As the daimyo of Omi, why did the Kyogoku family suddenly come to Ise when they were not busy in Omi?
Is this a massive use of troops against Ise, or does it have some other ulterior motive?
In short, people in Ise suddenly became panicked.
...
Minami Ise.
Yoshi County.
Wushan City.
This is a large-scale mountain castle. As the headquarters of the Kitahata family of Ise Province, Kiriyama Castle is also known as "Kiriyama Castle" or "Kiriyama Imperial Palace".
The current head of the Kitahata family is Kitahata Harugu, who has succeeded to the throne for twenty years.
As the head of the famous Kitahata clan of the samurai family, Kitahata Haru is elegant and respected by the world.
But Kitahata Harugu, who was usually gentle and gentle, suddenly cursed her mother in the city on this day.
"Listen, listen!"
"What is the Kyogoku family doing?"
"I, the Kitahata clan, have no enmity with the Kyogoku clan, so why did they raise an army to attack my Isei today?"
"As the Ise Kuniji, I actually learned such news only after the Kyogoku family captured the territories of two counties! If it hadn't been for this information sent by the Kobe family, I still wouldn't have known that the territories of two counties had been captured. It’s occupied by someone else!”
On the main seat, Kitahata Haru's angry face turned purple, while below stood a group of Kitahata family retainers with drooped heads.
"Kitahata-den, according to the latest news from our investigation team, the cities of Asahi, Akabori, and Hamada in Asaimei County have been captured by the Kyogoku family! The Akabori family was attacked and destroyed, and Kasukabe, Hazu and other people all surrendered to the Kyogoku family! "
"Currently, the Kyogoku family's troops are stationed less than thirty miles north of our main city. The head of our family begs Kitahata-don to take action to intimidate the Kyogoku family for the sake of blood kinship!"
The speaker was Ito Sanifou, a retainer of the Kobe family.
The Kobe clan was originally a branch of the Seki clan, but from a very early stage it was under the control of the Kitahata clan.
The head of the Kitahata family, Sai Ochi Kitahata, has two sons. The eldest son is the current Harugu Kitahata, and the second son is the current head of the Kobe family, Komori Kobe.
Kobe Komori was originally a "flute boy" at Shokokuji Temple in Kyoto, but in order to strengthen his control over the Kobe family, Kitahata Saichi recalled him from Kyoto and adopted him to the Kobe family to become the adopted son of the head of the Kobe family. Later, he inherited the family name naturally.
With the support of the Kitahata clan behind them, the Kobe clan gradually extended its tentacles to the Hokkaido area.
The Akabori family was able to develop rapidly in a short period of time precisely because of the support of the Kobe clan (Akabori Tomanobu married a daughter of the Kobe clan).
But now the Akabori family has been destroyed, and the two counties of Tomei and Yuanben have fallen into the hands of the Kyogoku family. The Kyogoku family's two thousand troops are now stationed thirty miles north of the Kobe clan's headquarters, Sawa Castle. This made the leader of the Kobe clan, Kobe Gumori, frightened and angry, so he quickly sent someone to report to Kitahata's father.
After hearing Ito Sanifusa's explanation, Kitahata Harugu naturally couldn't give in in front of his younger brother, "Ishimi Mamoru, you immediately leave for the Akaborikan to meet Kyogoku Takamasa and convey the family's orders."
"If the Kyogoku family refuses to retreat and return Chaoming and Yuanben 2 counties, then I will personally send troops north to fight with him!"
RB During the Warring States Period, the inferiors and superiors continued to conquer, and many powerful guardian names disappeared in the clouds of history.
However, there are three daimyo who still maintain their last dignity. These three daimyo are called the "Warring States Three Kingdoms Division".
One of the three clans of the Warring States Period was the Kitahata clan of the Ise province, and the other two were the Ichijo clan of Tosa and later Hida's sister, the Hida clan.
The Kitahata clan belonged to the common family of the Murakami Genji Nakain family. They were originally a public family and later became a Warring States daimyo.
The Kitahata clan was originally a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was trusted by Emperor Go-Daigo.
After the defeat of the Southern Dynasty, the Kitahata clan surrendered to the Muromachi shogunate who supported the Northern Dynasty, and was granted the title of Ise Kingdom Secretary, maintaining their rule over the southern part of Ise Kingdom.
Due to the chaotic situation in Ise, although the Kitahata clan is called Ise Kuniji and is in charge of the entire Ise country, the actual area under its control is only the southern part of Ise.
But no matter what, Ise is undoubtedly the territory of the Kitahata family in name.
But now, the Kyogoku family suddenly stepped in and captured two counties in the Beishi area. This is equivalent to cutting off two pieces of flesh from the Kitahata family. Kitahata Harugu felt that she had been greatly insulted, how could she not be angry?
After hearing Kitahata Harugu's words, Toriya Mitsei quickly nodded in agreement.
"In addition, please pass on this family's order, and all villages within the territory will immediately start mobilizing troops and be ready to send troops at any time!"
"Send envoys to all the Ise countries to convey our decision! Although the relations between the countries are bad, the internal fighting is my own business in Ise! Now the Kyogoku family is invaded by a foreign enemy. Presumably the people of the country can still tell which is more important and which is less important!"
.......
Akahorikan.
After seizing the two counties of Chao and Ming Dynasties, Kyogoku Gaomasa immediately started to stabilize the situation in the territory.
First, Kyogoku Hidemasa was appointed as Senguso Castle Castle, Kyogoku Takatsuki was appointed as Umedo Castle Castle, and Matsunaga Nagayori was appointed as Agagaki Castle Castle to control the situation in Bengun County. Immediately afterwards, Akao Kiyozuna was asked to inspect the territory as the acting official of Chaomei County to appease the people.
Numata Mitsukazu began to inspect the land and conduct a census of the population in the territory.
Everything is proceeding steadily according to Kyogoku Takamasa's plan.
Zhitian Ginshan located in Yuanben County has also resumed production.
The miners and craftsmen who used to work at Jiden Ginzan all defected to the Kyogoku family under the temptation of Kyogoku Gaomasa's large sums of money. They controlled the two counties of Chao Ming Dynasty faster than imagined.
However, Kyogoku Gaomasa was not happy for two days, and the situation in Ise changed again.
The most intuitive sign is that the wealthy families in the areas near Chaoming and Yuanben counties have shown signs of mobilizing troops, and their conflicts are all aimed at the Kyogoku family.
Kyogoku Takamasa is not a fool, and he soon understood that there was someone behind the scenes who was pushing these things to happen.
Sure enough, as Kyogoku Gaosheng expected, the instigator of all this soon surfaced.
"Isami Mamoru, the retainer of Shimokitabata Toriya, saw Kyogoku Sakyo enter the palace!"
In the main hall of Akahorikan, Kyogoku Takamasa received Toriya Mitsei who came from Kiriyama Castle.
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa who was as young as the rumors, Toriya Mitsei was filled with emotion.
How chaotic the situation in Ise country is. As a person from Ise, Toriya Mitsei knows very well.
As the Ise Imperial Secretary, the Kitahata family had the legitimate right to rule Ise, but after spending several generations of hard work, they only controlled the southern part of Ise.
However, as an outsider, the Kyogoku family took over two counties in just one month.
The name Yasha Saburo was really not just blown away!
"It turns out it's Torioya Ishimi, but I don't know why you came here this time."
Kyogoku Takamasa pretended to be dumbfounded as always.
Toriyama Manei was not in a hurry, and slowly came to sit down on the side, and then...
