The Maori Nagashu Domain controls the three countries of Honshu Island, Nagato Country, and Monzen Country. It is located in the west of Honshu Island and the Doi Domain below it, and the Satsuma Domain on Kyushu Island are horns with each other, resisting the pressure from Kanto.
In fact, these people had long wanted to stir up trouble with the Ashikaga family of the shogunate. The extreme uncooperation of Emperor Kadenika made these people unable to make up their minds for a while.
Of course, blowing out other people's lamps will not make you brighter, and blocking other people's paths will not make you go further. Everyone knows this truth.
After the Ashikaga family's pot is overturned, the final peach may not necessarily fall in Kansai. They may not get any benefits, but even if they don't know the light and can't go far, they still have to blow out other people's lamps and smash them. The ultimate reason for taking someone else's way is desire, which is human nature.
At this time, after the young Prince Naruhito became the Japanese emperor, he used the pretext of inviting the Ming Dynasty envoy to visit and secretly conspired with the governor of the Mori family, Motonari Mori, and Tachihisa Shimazu of the Shimazu family in Kyoto for a long time. When the Ming Dynasty delegation left Kyoto and headed for Edo, they were accompanied by Osaka Kyoto Guardian Go Kakuta. He also took a large number of samurai in various confidential positions with him to Edo.
Also taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Prince Naruhito, with the assistance of the traditional nobles of Kyoto, cooperated with the external Kansai princes, and sent Emperor Kaotaika, Prince Naruhito and the main members of the royal family out of Kyoto city.
When Hakuda Go came back, both emperors had already run away.
However, Kuroda Go, who hurriedly led his troops to pursue, encountered the Kansai Allied Forces in Monzen Country and suffered a major defeat. Also, because he was afraid of Osaka and Kyoto's loss, Kuroda Go could only retreat in a hurry.
In the Maori family, the fourth male Maori Jiguang of Dajiang Guangyuan is the ancestor, and the family crest is a three-star pattern with one character.
Under the rule of Motonari Mouri alone, the Mouri family successfully rose from a small wealthy family in Aki Province to the largest power in Western Japan that ruled the ten countries in just ten years. The country's stone height exceeds 1.2 million koku, and they are known as " "The most intelligent general in the Western Kingdom", even the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, who was said to have tens of thousands of soldiers, only had less than one million koku when uniting several daimyo on Kyushu Island.
At this time, Motonari Mori's record and reputation were much greater than those of Shimazu Tachihisa. Of course, he was also ten years older than Shimazu Tachihisa.
The princes of Kansai are vaguely headed by him...and in order to establish a solid alliance with the powerful Maori family, Shimazu Tachihisa gave his younger sister Shimazu Yuriko, who was less than sixteen years old, to Maori Motonari.
In the original history, Mourimoto was the founder of the Choshu clan and the prosperous ancestor of the Maori family. He defeated the many with less many times, saved the Choshu clan, preserved the status of the Maori family, and carried it forward.
And he himself has a high prestige in Menqian Kingdom. Before he became the governor of the Maori family, he helped his nephew put down the rebellion of the two major forces of Menqian Kingdom and Abe, and then defeated the many with less. In order to avoid the many feudal forces who wanted to bully orphans and widowed mothers, when his nephew contracted a serious disease and died unfortunately when he was nine years old, the daimyo retainers from all over the country supported Mourimoto as the governor of the Mouri family. Mourimoto had no choice but to refuse. Reluctantly becoming the boss, in the next few years he went east to defeat Nizi, and went west to eliminate Tao Qingxian who had usurped Ouchi's real power in the Battle of Itsukushima, and basically unified the northwest of Honshu Island. Powerful in Kansai...
After that, his ambitions expanded extremely, and he wanted to win over the Satsuma clan, just to create a shogunate era belonging to the Maori family...
Similarly, Shimazu Tachihisa thought the same way, but at this time, the Shimazu family was not strong enough to fulfill his ambitions alone, so he actively moved closer to the Maori family, just to let him take the lead.
This time, both the old and new Japanese emperors arrived at Yoshida Gunyama Castle, Shimazu Tachihisa, and the feudal lords of Kansai also gathered together to pay homage to the new Japanese emperor, Prince Naruhito, who was the Japanese emperor Goto Mikado.
Tian Chaozi, the court servant of Nori, knelt down behind the Japanese emperor Gotu Mikado. However, at this time, her lower abdomen actually had a slight bulge, as if she had gained some weight...
More than a dozen princes also knelt down below, and only Motonaki Mouri knelt on the left side of Emperor Gotsuchimikado to highlight his difference from the other princes.
Motori Moto is thinner and his eyes are a bit like those of a fox. He also has a traditional samurai hairstyle, an alternative aesthetic, and a Mediterranean moon hair...
These powerful figures were talking about where the Japanese emperor Goto Mikado should stay after he left Kyoto and before overthrowing the Ashikaga family of the shogunate.
Although the Japanese state was partially influenced by Confucian culture, it had completely different views on certain things from China. Their real-power shogunate ruling group would not think of putting the Japanese emperor under their noses.
And Mori Gen is a pragmatic person. Although the Japanese Emperor Gotsuchimikado has arrived in Kansai, the shogunate on the Kanto Plain where Kyoto and Osaka are located still has a very powerful force, and the Mori family will also become Kansai Kanto At the forefront of the battle, he would not leave Gotsuchimikado Japanese Emperor in Yoshida Gunyama Castle just for a false reputation.
Because once the Japanese emperor Gotsuchimikado is left in Yoshida Gunyama Castle, the Mori family will have to bear the expenses of the entire royal family. Before a decisive victory is achieved, keeping the Japanese emperor will cause all harm but no benefit.
For Motonari Mouri, it doesn’t matter where in Kansai the Japanese emperor Gotsuchimikado is. What’s important is that it cannot be in the hands of the shogunate...
Of course, Shimazu Tachihisa did not understand this. He really wanted the Japanese emperor to go to his Tsurumaru Castle, but after he expressed his idea, the Japanese emperor refused because Tsurumaru Castle is located in the southwest of Kyushu Island. , and also left Honshu, which made the Japanese emperor feel like he was in exile, although he was really in exile.
Of course, part of the reason why the Japanese emperor rejected Shimazu Tachihisa's request was because the situation was unclear. The Ming Dynasty had long been dissatisfied with the people on Kyushu Island. If he really arrived at Tsurumaru Castle and the Ming army attacked, the Japanese royal family would I don’t even know how to escape, but when the time comes, I will be taken over by others, and the royal family will become a prisoner. In the future, the royal family will completely fall off the altar.
Shimazu Tachihisa was like a licking dog, wanting to bring the Japanese Emperor back to Kyushu Island, and then Tsuchimikado Japanese Emperor was also like a licking dog, wanting to stay in this Yoshida Gunyama Castle, but just like he rejected Shimazu Tachihisa, Maori Yuan also rejected him and actively persuaded the Japanese emperor to go to Kyushu Island.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the whole room.
"General Mori, can't I really stay here?" Gotsuchimikado looked at Mori Yuan and asked again.
After hearing this, Mourimoto calmly replied: "Whether it is Tsurumaru Castle or Yoshida Koriyama Castle, it is just a temporary place for His Majesty. Your Majesty will return to Kyoto sooner or later. The ultimate goal of our Kansai Allied Forces is It is to overthrow the shogunate. Yoshida Gunyama Castle is located on the frontier of Kansai. It is inevitable that there will be many wars in the future. Your Majesty is not safe here. Going to Tsurumaru Castle is equivalent to relaxing. In less than half a year, our Kansai Allied Forces will escort your Majesty. , return to Kyoto."
After hearing this, Shimazu Tachiku couldn't help but nod: "Yes, Your Majesty, come back to Tsurumaru Castle with me..."
Things that some people don't care about are like treasures in the eyes of some people. At this time, Mourimoto didn't care about the Japanese emperor, but Shimazu Tachihisa did.
Of course, at this time, Shimazu Tachihisa still knew nothing about Ryukyu Kingdom and what was happening on Tsushima Island...
