The turmoil that broke out in Meinong this time has indeed had a great impact. The most intuitive manifestation is that the situation in Meinong and several surrounding countries has become extremely tense.
The Rokkaku family in Minami Omi, the Asakura family in Echizen, and the Kyogoku family in Kita Omi have all set their sights on Mino.
At the same time as the civil strife in Mino, the Asakura family and the Kyogoku family successfully reached a truce agreement and agreed to jointly send troops to Mino to support Toki Yorijun of Daiso Castle, while Rokkaku Sadayori of Minami Omi also publicly supported his son-in-law Toki Yorii.
As the most prosperous place in the surrounding area in recent weeks, Mino is naturally wanted by powerful daimyo such as Rokkaku Tayori and Asakura Takakage who are trying to establish hegemony.
Initially, the Asakura family and the Rokkaku family jointly supported Toki Yoritake.
Asakura Takakage supports Toki Yoritake because Toki Yoritake married his sister, and he is Toki Yoritake's brother-in-law. Therefore, even if Toki Yoritake dies, Asakura Takakage will naturally obtain the position of Mino guardian with his nephew who is close to him. . In this way, the power of the Asakura family can be penetrated into Mino. Even if Mino cannot be completely controlled, at least the person who controls Mino is an ally of the Asakura family, which is also in the interests of the Asakura family.
As for Rokkaku Sadayori, it is not so much supporting Toki Yoritake as supporting the governor of the Toki family (maintaining the orthodoxy of the Toki family). The relationship between the Toki clan and the Rokkaku clan is very close. One of the younger brothers of Toki Masafusa (Toki Raitake's father) was once the son of Rokkaku Takayori (the father of Rokkaku Sadayori).
Therefore, when civil strife broke out in the Toki clan, Rokkaku Sadayori naturally had to come out to maintain the legitimacy of the succession of the Toki clan governor and declare his presence by the way.
Because of this, Rokkaku Sadayori is not a determined supporter of Toki Yoritake. To him, he just wants to have a hand in the succession of the Toki family governor, which not only demonstrates the Rokkaku family's status as the "Kinai Overlord" Majesty can have a certain influence on the Toqi clan.
Therefore, Rokkaku Sadayori has no position to speak of between the two brothers Toki Yoritake and Toki Yorii. It seems that he can support anyone, as long as the final result is in the interests of the Rokkaku family.
So at this juncture, Toki Yorii took the initiative to ask to marry Rokkaku Sadayori's daughter, which made Rokkaku Sadayori unable to calm down. After just a little thought, he decisively kicked the Asakura family away. He, Rokkaku Sadayori, wanted to go it alone!
Moreover, Rokkaku Sadayori is not just the kind of verbal support who just shouts slogans from the sidelines, the Rokkaku family has taken action.
In March of the fourth year of Tenmon (AD 1535), under the order of Rokkaku Sadeyori, the entire Nanomi River was actively mobilizing troops. Although under normal circumstances everyone is preparing for spring plowing at this time, due to the sudden outbreak of civil strife in Mino, Rokkaku Sadayori can't take care of so much at this time. On the premise of not affecting the next spring plowing as much as possible, Rokkaku The family only mobilized 7,000 troops within the territory.
Here Rokkaku Sadayori has just assembled his troops at Kannonji Castle and is preparing to send a capable retainer to lead the army to Mino. But soon, the news that the Kyogoku family and the Asakura family had a truce and jointly announced their support for Toki Norizumi reached the ears of Rokkaku Sadayori, who immediately slammed the table in anger.
This Kyogoku family has absolutely no principles at all!
Wasn't he fighting with the Asakura family in Wakasa just a moment ago? Why did they suddenly shake hands and make peace again?
It's understandable that he stood up to the Asakura family and interfered with Rokkaku Sadeyori, but what does the civil strife in Mino next door have to do with your Kyogoku family?
"So the Kyogoku family has already sent out troops?" Rokkaku Sadeyori sat in the imperial palace of Kannonji Castle, looking at the retainers below with a gloomy expression.
"The troops have not been sent out yet, but the troops within the Kyogoku family have begun to gather near present-day Bincheng and Sakata County. The number of troops is at least 20,000!"
"It is said that Kyogoku Sakyo Shin also personally rushed back to Imahama Castle from Wakasa. If nothing else, it is Kyogoku Sakyo Shin who is commanding the Kyogoku family's troops!" The person who spoke was Goto Takatoyo, an important minister of the Rokkaku family.
"It's the Kyogoku family again. Why are they always jumping around in front of my eyes recently? The war in Wakasa has just subsided, and now they are starting to interfere with Mino. It seems that Kyogoku Musashi has been living too much during this period. Feel comfortable!" Rokkaku Sadarai said with a hint of resentment.
To be honest, Rokkaku Sadarai was a little envious and jealous.
He saw with his own eyes that the formerly big-ass Kyogoku family had re-emerged in just a few years. Not only had they regained control of the northern Omi country, they had now also taken over the Takeda family next door to Wakasa.
At this moment, even Rokkaku Sadayori had to take a serious look at his "poor relative".
"How is the situation over at Meinong?"
Goto Takayoshi quickly replied, "Toki Repair has assembled tens of thousands of troops, and a total of more than 20,000 people from the national and public coalition forces in the eastern part of Mino have launched an offensive against Toki Jiro (Toki Yorijun)."
"Toki Xiu's troops met Toki Jiro's troops more than ten miles south of Daosang City yesterday. The two sides were confronting each other at this time. However, the Asakura family's reinforcements have already arrived at Nebi Castle, and they will arrive within today as expected. It's a battlefield." After Goto Takataka said, Kamao Sadahide on the side quickly added.
Rokkaku Jorayi suddenly frowned, "How could the Asakura family move so fast?"
"The Asakura family just had a joint battle with the Kyogoku family in Wakasa. After the troops retreat, they can march directly to Mino without mobilization at all. In comparison, the speed of our family is indeed slower." Kamou Sadahide continued. .
"No, our family should go out into battle immediately, otherwise it would be bad if the Kyogoku family's people are allowed to rush ahead!" Rokkaku Sadayori immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Since the Asakura family's troops were mobilized so quickly, it would be very difficult to come. The Kyogoku family won’t be slow either.
"My lord, since the Kyogoku family captured Northern Ise last year, the northern area of Ise and the Kyogoku family's territory have been connected. If I want to enter Mino, I must pass through the Kyogoku family's territory."
"I'm just afraid..." Goto Takataka and Kamou Sadahide looked at each other, and they both saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.
It's fine if I don't mention this, but when I mention this Rokkaku Sadai, I feel even more angry.
At that time, the wealthy Umedo clan in North Ise was the younger brother of the Rokkaku family in Ise, and the head of the family, Umedo Takamina, was the younger brother of Rokkaku Sadeyori. As a result, the Kyogoku family relied on the support of their boss, Harumoto Hosokawa, and took over the three northern counties of Ise. They also burned down the Nagashima Enjoji Temple, the headquarters of the Nagashima Ichiko sect.
Although it is indeed a good thing to burn the fire at Nagashima Gonjoji Temple, it is not authentic for the Kyogoku family to occupy the land of the Umeto family.
In this matter, not only Rokkaku Sadayori, but also Ise, the guardian of the Kitahata family, was extremely angry. Although the Kitahata family repeatedly sent people to complain to the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu and the imperial court, it was of no avail.
Ashikaga Yoshiharu had been living in Omi before and had been seeking to reconcile with Hosokawa Harumoto and return to Kyoto. Who in the world didn't know that Kyogoku Takamasa and Hosokawa Harumoto wore the same pair of pants? Moreover, when Ashikaga Yoshiharu was negotiating peace with Hosokawa Harumoto, the Kyogoku family also played a big role in it (Kyogoku Takamasa said your wife is awesome 0.0).
Ashikaga Yoshiharu will naturally not conflict with the Kyogoku family at this juncture, so for the Kitahata family
