Miyoshi Nagakei was not prepared to follow Hosokawa Mochitaka from the beginning.
When Miyoshi Motocho died tragically a few years ago, Miyoshi Nagakei secretly swore in his heart that he would make the Hosokawa family pay the price in this life.
He wants revenge!
Over the years, I have been secretly building up my strength in Apo, hoping that one day I can send my army to Luo to avenge my father.
But at the beginning, Sanhao Changqing behaved very harmlessly. Hosokawa Mochitaka and Miyoshi Masako were both spies placed by Hosokawa Harumoto in Shikoku, with the purpose of monitoring the Miyoshi family.
Of course Miyoshi Nagakei knew this, so he paralyzed Miyoshi Masaki within the team and made friends with Hosokawa Nobitaka externally. After several years of hard work, they gradually deceived Hosokawa Mochitaka and Miyoshi Masakacho.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Miyoshi Prime Minister to go to Beijing to fight for power, Miyoshi Changqing, with the help of family elder Yasunaga and others, gradually twisted Awa into a unified country. Many of the Awa people followed Miyoshi Genchang back then, and were considered old ministers of the Miyoshi family, and many of the leaders of the people at that time followed Miyoshi Genchang to seek death.
Therefore, the people of Abo are willing to follow Sanhao and celebrate forever.
As for Hosokawa Molitaka, after finding out through some insinuations that Hosokawa Molitaka also wanted to seize power, Miyoshi Nagakei immediately pretended to support Hosokawa Molitaka and gained Hosokawa Molitaka's support. The general's influence gradually penetrated into countries such as Sanqi and Danlu.
In just a few years, the strength of the Sanhao family has been restored to its original state.
It can be said that the situation of the Miyoshi family when Miyoshi Nagakei took over was similar to that when Kyogoku Takamasa first came. Being able to achieve today's results is enough to prove the ability of Sanhao Changqing.
The "vice king" in history is here!
........
Hosokawa Motaka returned to the residence in despair. Although he was furious, he also felt helpless.
All the calculations were in vain, and he was deceived by Miyoshi Changqing.
When he thought of being played by a half-grown child, Hosokawa Mochitaka suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart. He felt as if he had lived like a dog in the past few decades.
"San Qishou, how is the situation?"
Seeing that Hosokawa Mochitaka was back, Hosokawa Harumoto stepped forward and asked eagerly.
"My lord, the Miyoshi family...the Miyoshi family hopes that the lord can return the old territory of Miyoshi Chikuzenshou and restore the identity of the Miyoshi family as the head of the Hosokawa clan."
"If my lord doesn't respond, I'm afraid things won't go well today."
"How dare you, Shuzi!" After hearing this, Hosokawa Harumoto immediately cursed, "How dare you bully me!"
"Quickly gather all the troops. I will make the Miyoshi family look good today!" Hosokawa Harumoto was obviously furious after being stabbed in the back like this.
Ibaraki Shigaraka standing next to him quickly stood up and said, "My lord, the residence has been surrounded by the Miyoshi family. How can we send him out?"
"Besides, the opponent may launch an attack at any time, and there won't be enough time!"
"Do you want me to surrender to the Sanhao family? How can my family be so humiliated!"
"Lord! Everything can be considered in the long run. Let's send the Sanhao family away first and then make plans!"
After listening to Ibaraki Shitaka's words, Hosokawa Harumoto also gradually resumed his resignation, and sighed as if he was discouraged, "Oh...then that's it."
.........
Omi, Guanyin Temple Castle.
When what happened in Kinai reached the ears of Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takamasa's heart condensed, and what was supposed to come was still coming.
The Miyoshi family has risen as it has in history, and the future situation in Kinai will no longer be simple.
There's going to be chaos again.
However, Kyogoku Takamasa knew that the Miyoshi family did not have the strength to openly challenge the Hosokawa family at the moment. Although the situation in Kinai was complicated, there were no major changes in a short period of time.
Everything requires another person to stand up.
And this person is about to show up.
The matters in Kyoto were put aside for the time being. Kyoto Takamasa was worrying about another matter at the moment.
Since occupying Northern Yinshi, Numata Mitsuwa, under the instruction of Kyogoku Gaomasa, has vigorously developed several counties in the northern part of Yinshi. After several years of development, everything has achieved remarkable results.
Not only has Shigao almost doubled, but the population has also increased a lot.
There are many fertile fields in Yinshi area. In the past, it was slightly deserted due to constant wars and wars. Now that the Kyogoku family has taken over, things have naturally changed a lot.
After agriculture came up, Numata Mitsuwa began to develop business.
Although the policies of the Kyogoku family were copied, the results were minimal.
Because of Yinshi's special geographical location, maritime trade is mainly developed here, and the main trade objects are the Imagawa family in the Kanto region and even Tokaido.
However, since the Kyogoku family had just arrived, many merchants were unwilling to come. Most of them chose to enter the port directly at Owari. Tsushima Minato within the territory of the Oda family was the busiest port in maritime trade.
"God's Coming"
The Oda family also made a lot of money because of Tsushima Minato.
Numata Mitsukazu built a Nagashima Castle on the site of Nagashima Honganji Temple as an important stronghold of the Kyogoku family in the Hokuinshi.
The castle town was also built last year. Many wealthy businessmen from the Kyogoku family came here to do business, but most of them were doing business in a small way. If you want to fully develop business, you need to attract businessmen from the Kanto region.
There are two problems facing the Kyogoku family.
First of all, in terms of external competition, the Kyogoku family cannot compete with the Oda family or even the Matsudaira family of Mikawa. Internally, the Yin Shiguoji Kitahata family has also expanded rapidly in the past two years.
First, he suppressed Shima, and then launched the Yamato invasion, which greatly increased his strength.
Recently, the leader of the Kitahata family, Kitahata Harugu, has set his sights on Hokuinshi. Of course, the Kitahata family does not dare to directly confront the Kyogoku family. Kitahata Harugu's target is the Nagano family, the leader of the Northern Insurge Kingdom.
Facing the Kitahata family's invasion, the Nagano family was unable to resist, so they had no choice but to find the Kyogoku family.
At this moment, in the Kannonji Castle, Kyogoku Takamasa was meeting with the people of the Northern Insei Nation represented by the Nagano family.
"When Sakyo entered the palace, the Kitahata family was aggressive. Last year, a large number of troops appeared to cause chaos in our territory."
"Last month, the Hojo family's troops were mobilized frequently, and the nearby Hojo family castles were also hoarding food. I'm afraid it won't be long before they take action against us."
"I also hope that the Kyogoku family will remember the friendship we had with the Kyogoku family in fighting the Ichigo clan in the past and help us!"
Looking at the dozen or so people kneeling below, Kyogoku Gaomasa felt a little dizzy.
When the Kyogoku family fought against the Nagashima Honganji Temple of the Ichikai clan, the people of the Northern Insect did help a lot, but it was more because these people were also bullied miserably by the Ichiki clan.
Since the Kyogoku family stood up at that time, they naturally would not stand idly by.
As for the Kitahata family, there is no overlap between the Kyogoku family and the Kitahata family, but the head of the Kitahata family, Kitahata Harugu, was the son-in-law of the late Hosokawa Takakuni. When Hosokawa Harumoto and Hosokawa Takakuni were facing each other, Kitahata Harugu joined him. Hosokawa Takakuni side.
But before Kitahata Harugu could join the battle, Hosokawa Takano was defeated and died. Later, although Kitahata Harugu ostensibly surrendered to Hosokawa Harumoto, it was obvious that the Kitahata family did not take it seriously.
After the Kyogoku family infiltrated their power into the Kitahata family, if anyone could be said to be the most unhappy, it would definitely be the Kitahata family, as Shoinshi was their own backyard.
This time the Kitahata family took action against the people of the Northern Insei Kingdom. After the attack was over, the next target would naturally be the Kyogoku family.
The Hokuinshi Kokumin are the buffer zone between the Kyogoku and Kitahata families. With these Kokumin here, the Kitahata and Kyogoku families will be in peace for the time being.
But if these people were gone and the two families were directly bordering each other, a war would seem inevitable.
Therefore, for the benefit of the Kyogoku family and due to emotions and reasons, Kyogoku's high-ranking officials cannot stand by and watch.
After thinking for a moment, Kyogoku Takamasa made a decision immediately.
send troops!
