The domestic disputes in Yamato have a long history, dating back to the end of the Heian period.
At that time, the internal conflicts in Yamato mainly revolved around Kofukuji Temple. At that time, Kofukuji Temple had two sects, "Dachōin" and "Issei-in". The post of Kofukuji Temple was rotated between the two sects.
However, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and overt and covert conflicts between the two sects can be said to be constant.
Later, during the Kamakura period, things got so bad that the two sides started to fight directly. At this time, the shogunate intervened in the disputes in Yamato and made allocations in the name of the shogunate, separating the Isei-in and the Mahayana-in.
This operation directly only dealt a huge blow to the authority of Kofukuji Temple in Yamato, which caused each disciple to stand on their own feet. The representative figure among them was the Tsutsui family.
At that time, the kokumin in Yamato were divided into the apostles and the kokumin. The apostles referred to the Kofukuji apostles headed by the Tsutsui family, and the kokumin were the kokumin led by Ochi and Tsutsuo.
Compared with the former, the latter is not under the framework of Kofukuji Temple.
However, although the shogunate had previously dealt with the situation in Yamato, it had only dealt with the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the opposition between Issei-in and Mahayana-in still existed.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the opposition between the two sects reached the point of incompatibility.
During the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the people in Yamato joined the Southern and Northern Dynasties with two separate gates.
The Ochi clan and other people joined the Southern Dynasty, while the Tsutsui family and other people joined the Northern Dynasty. The latter received support from the shogunate, and the two sides fought in Yamato. Since the Tsutsui family was located in the northern part of Yamato and the Ochi family was located in the southern part of Yamato, it was also called the "North-South War."
The war raged for many years, but neither warring party could do anything to the other. At this time, Yamato's domestic reputation was withering, and people in various countries were exhausted, so both sides decided to ask the shogunate to come forward to host a truce.
Although an agreement was finally reached, it was only a superficial stability. In fact, both parties were still dissatisfied with each other.
More than ten years passed like this, and the time came to the first year of Yongxiang (AD 1429).
Yamato's two national clans, the Toyoda clan and the Ido clan, suddenly started fighting. Behind the Toyoda clan was the Ochi family, but the Ido clan was holding the Tsutsui family's thigh, so the two sides broke out again.
At this time, the Akiyama clan and other members of the Yamato clan who belonged to the Southern Dynasty also joined the battlefield, and the shogunate sent troops to support Tsutsui's side. The two sides fought for ten years.
Although the Ochi family and other people were defeated in this battle, both sides were seriously injured. During this period, Tsutsui Junkaku, the head of the Tsutsui family, died directly in the battle.
Later, civil strife broke out in the Tsutsui family because of the position of governor, causing heavy casualties in the Tsutsui family. This gave the previously defeated Ochi clan and other people a chance to breathe, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
Immediately afterwards, the Yingren Rebellion broke out again.
The Tsutsui family belonged to the Eastern Army, and the Ochi family belonged to the Western Army, and the two sides started fighting again.
It is precisely because of this complicated and long-standing contradiction that Yamato is like a barrel filled with gunpowder. It only takes a spark to ignite and explode.
Therefore, Tsutsui Junken, the father of Tsutsui Junren, summarized the practices of previous Tsutsui family heads and felt that relying on force could no longer fundamentally solve the problem, so he decided to find another way out.
Of course Tsutsui Junxian's plan did not receive the support of most of the family's retainers, which also allowed Tsutsui Junxian to take the opportunity to ascend to power.
However, all these grievances and resentments came to an end with the coming and going of Tsutsui Shunren, and peace returned to the Tsutsui family.
The Ochi clan and other people's plan to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble was completely in vain. When they saw the Tsutsui family mobilizing troops, they thought they were going to attack themselves, so everyone panicked and hurriedly mobilized within their borders. The army encircled the city.
The Yamato Tsutsui family still retains its power!
Tsutsui Junren, Ishida Mamihiro, and Endo Kyouyo served as envoys. Although the targets of the envoys were different, they all successfully completed the tasks assigned by Kyogoku Gaomasa.
When the three of them returned to Akahorikan, they found that Kyogoku Takamasa had left Ise.
.......
Settsu, Ikeda Castle.
The leader, Hosokawa Harumoto, warmly received Kyogoku Takamasa who came from afar. It seemed that the two had not seen each other for several years.
Looking at each other who were still a little childish in the impression, they have now become mature and steady, and the two people's moods are also mixed.
"Guan Lingden, we have been apart for so many years. Every time I think back to the scenes when I served under Guan Lingden, I miss you very much!" Kyogoku Takamasa holds Hosokawa Harumoto in the Hosokawa Hall in Ikeda Castle. Talking about the past.
"You don't have to be polite, Sakyo-jin. The title of leader is only for outsiders. Sakyo-jin can just call me Rokuro!"
"The status of the leader of the palace is noble, how dare I exceed it!" Seeing that Hosokawa Harumoto was so sincere, Kyogoku Takamasa felt moved and ashamed. After all, he had cheated Hosokawa Harumoto many times before.
"In that case, then Sakyo-shin can just call my brother! I will soon marry the princess of the Sanjo family. This daughter is the eldest daughter of Sanjo Gon Dai-Nagon-den, and Sakyo-Shin's wife is the Sanjo Gon Dai-Nagon-den My second daughter, you and I are brothers-in-law, so it’s not a bad call to call me “brother!”
"It's no problem, I've met my brother!"
After saying this, Kyogoku Takamasa burst into tears.
After all these years, haven’t you been waiting for today?
My Kyogoku family finally has a real hug!
Hosokawa Harumoto, the Kinai hegemon, will gradually decline until Miyoshi Nagakei causes trouble, but that will take at least more than ten years.
For Kyogoku Takamasa, ten years is enough!
As a time traveler, if the Kyogoku family cannot become a real big boss in ten years, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
"Speaking of which, my family's return to Kinai this time is thanks to Sakyo Susumu's advice!"
"Since the reconciliation with the Miyoshi family, the situation in the four countries has stabilized, and then the marriage with the Sanjo family also allowed me to gain support from Kyoto."
"We defeated Honganji's counterattack earlier, and Settsu and other places have settled down again."
"I really don't know how to thank Sakyo Susumu!" Hosokawa Harumoto said with emotion.
How dare Gaozheng Jingji take credit? He quickly waved his hand and said: "These are all due to my brother's good leadership. I am just paying lip service."
"Hahahaha, if you and I can join forces, the world will be settled soon!"
At this time, Hosokawa Harumoto has completely overcome the trough of his life last year. After returning to the peak of his life, Hosokawa Harumoto has obviously begun to wander again.
"By the way, Sakyo Jin is coming to Settsu at this time. Do you have something to discuss with me?"
Seeing that Hosokawa Harumoto was in a good mood, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly took the opportunity to say: "To be honest, I came here specifically to ask my brother for help this time!"
"Help?"
"The Rokkaku family sent troops? Didn't you hear?"
"Is it the Asakura family?"
Kyogoku Gaomasa quickly shook his head, "It's not these two families, it's..."
Before Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Hosokawa Harumoto immediately slapped the table in front of him, "Who is so bold and dares to insult Sakyo Susumu!"
"Don't panic, my brother will make the decision for you!"
Domineering!
Quite domineering!
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt like eating something as sweet as honey. Is this... the feeling of being taken care of?
