A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 408 11. Isshiki Miyano Is One Step Late

"Zhou Hao? Who is Zhou Hao?"

Xiao Pingtai didn't recognize this name at all, and it didn't match anyone in his memory.

"He is the third younger brother of Xian Dashu. After he became a monk, he took the Buddhist name Zhou Hao and served as the head of the Xiangguo Temple and other monasteries in Luoyang." [Note 1]

Koheta immediately recalled that when he went to the palace to pay homage to Ashikaga Yoshiki, his younger brothers and sisters all came out to see him. I vaguely remember that besides Monk Jueqing, there seemed to be two little boys and two little girls.

There is no need to care about the little girl. Now that Ashikaga Yoshiteru is dead, Ashikaga Teruwakamaru is also dead. Then his brothers are potential heirs, and interested people will definitely keep an eye on them just like the Yamauchi family.

Apart from Monk Jueqing, there are only two left, Monk Zhou Hao and Isshiki Fanqin (the author personally has doubts).

There are three Ashikaga Yoshisuke of Apophira Island, Ashikaga Yoshiki, Ashikaga Yoshisuke, and Ashikaga Yoshito.

Generally speaking, these are the heirs to the most powerful generals in the world. The other officials won't have their turn for the time being, let alone Kira.

Now Monk Zhou Hao was suddenly attacked and died. Isshiki Norimika was adopted to someone else, and only the monk Kakukei remained in Ashikaga Yoshiharu's lineage. If he dies, Gongfang's position will most likely fall to Pingdao Gongfang's first rank.

"The old man has already gone to Yamato Xingfuku Temple. Xingfuku Temple is a famous temple in the world. There are thousands of monks, soldiers and believers. A few thieves can't threaten Monk Jueqing."

"Having said that, monk Zhou Hao's blood is stained in front of him. The traitor dared to attack and kill the official, and now he has killed his younger brother. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions."

The chief planner in the mountain couldn't sit still and stood up, with his hands behind his back and a sad look on his face. He stepped on the floor again and again, his footsteps broken and heavy.

"Any succession to the throne must be announced by the imperial court. The rebellious people set fire to Luo, and the emperor is shaken, so he will not issue the decree easily. I don't know if there are others, or who will take the lead."

Of course Koheita knew this period of history, but there were not so many twists and turns in history. After the three members of the Miyoshi group killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, they quickly established Ashikaga Yoshie (Ashikaga Yoshiki), and obtained the title the following year. The court announced.

But now that Kyoto has not fallen into the hands of the three good people or Matsunaga, the prerequisites for supporting the general to enter the capital are not sufficient.

Secondly, because the shogunate accidentally grasped the strength of Luoyang Town Huoxia, there are now more than 2,000 troops in Kyoto including the remaining Feng Gong people. It is almost impossible to defend Kyoto, but there is no problem in maintaining the situation in Kyoto for the time being.

The Iga Niki clan, the Omi Kuchiki clan, the Wakasa Takeda clan, the Ise Kitahata clan, and the Tanba Hatano clan, no matter how ugly the shogunate is, reinforcements of three melons and two dates will still enter the capital. I dare not say three to fifty thousand, but three to five thousand is a question. Not big.

However, it is difficult for the shogunate's current humble power to support a general who can secure Kyoto. Either the Miyoshi trio, or the Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the Miyoshi sect. For the time being, only these two groups can enter the capital immediately.

Followed by Kii, Kawachi guarding Hatakeyama Takamasa, Minami Omi guarding Rokkaku Yoshiharu, and Echizen guarding Asakura Yoshikage. In theory, these three people each have no less than 20,000 troops, and they have the strength and possibility to send troops to Luo.

"I have reported to His Highness that it is very serious at this time and needs to be investigated carefully." Xiaoping was too unsure of the future direction.

"That's right, the elder brother is very resourceful and may have made a decision." The chief planner in the mountain didn't know what to do for a moment. He had just sent someone to pick up (deceive) the official to succeed him, but before he could pick him up, a candidate was killed. news.

Chief Yamauchi summoned a Toegeda samurai from the same clan in Yamauchi, folded the letter again, appended his and Koheita's opinions to the paper, and sent it to Yamauchi Yoshiharu of Komaba.

The two stopped talking and continued to handle official business quietly. By noon, the matter was roughly settled. The two of them were about to leave and go home to eat, but they never thought that Isshiki Miyauchi came back first.

"A little later, His Royal Highness Hirashima has been picked up by Shinohara Awa."

Isshiki's majestic golden sword sat down in the palace. The attendant brought cold water, and he took it and drank it.

In terms of age, Isshiki Miyauchi is already in his fifties, so running around like this is a bit too much.

"Shinohara Ukyo (Ukyo Ryo)? Why did he go to pick up Hirashima? Is it Miyoshi Wakae's order?"

"I'm afraid it's not like that! The first time Miyoshi Wakae received 40,000 guan from Sakai Town, and it was difficult to distribute such a huge sum of money well. Shinohara Awa seems to be extremely dissatisfied, and has already contacted the three Miyoshis."

Isshiki also finished drinking the water in the palace, and his heavy breathing stopped.

"What about the other two Your Highnesses?" Koheta couldn't wait to ask Ashikaga Yoshimi's two remaining sons.

"We all went to Shengrui City, and we can't find him anywhere!" Yishi Gongnai waved his hands, looking a little frustrated.

"So Sakai Daiki's branch has been completely controlled by Miyoshi and three others!" Chief Yamauchi knocked on the support table, feeling the seriousness of the situation.

"Before noon, a message came from the Ministry of War. Monk Zhou Hao was attacked and killed! It's really hard to be so anxious..."

Xiaoheita originally thought that Miyoshi Yoshitsugi could help him up, but he didn't expect that getting such a large sum of money for him would actually harm him. The spoils were unevenly divided, and there was actually internal strife among the gangs. Not only did they lose the 20,000-strong rear army of the Awa tribe, which was the most powerful, they also lost the hearts and minds of the other four nations.

"I heard that Lord Pingdao has changed his name to Yiei. He is going to Settsu and crossing the river. He will go to Luo soon."

"We must immediately send people to Beijing to lobby the imperial ministers, just in case the imperial court is forced by the troops of the three good men."

"The troops of the Miyoshi Three are close to Retsu Province, and I'm afraid they will be difficult to resist." Xiao Pingtai knew the nature of the court. Although they hated the Miyoshi Three, they would still bow their heads if the Miyoshi Three marched into the capital. This is the sadness of having no soldiers.

"No matter what, there can be no more mistakes with Monk Kakuei. Send someone to the capital to discuss with the Ministry of War. Make sure Monk Kakuei escapes."

Isshiki Miyano said to Yamauchi Shukei and Xiao Pingtai.

[Note 1]: Here is an extra word of nonsense. According to a certain encyclopedia, in addition to Monk Kakuei, that is, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, there are three brothers of Ashikaga Yoshiteru who can be called by name.

They are Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao, and Zhou Song, each of them has a name and surname, and they look like real people.

Ashikaga Yoshiharu would probably laugh out loud if he knew this. How can I be so fertile? The character "Huang" is the same as the character "Hao", and the character "Song" is obviously a typo of "Huang".

The historical inventors of a certain website gave Ashikaga Yoshiteru two younger brothers for nothing. They are really powerful. At least look up the dictionary before making up something. It's so embarrassing.

It's not a big deal that Monk Zhou Hao is the head of Xiangguo Temple, but some say he is the head of Luyuanyuan, and some say he is the head of Tojiyuan. The writer has doubts and hopes that the big guys can solve the doubts.

Unfortunately, the new book was unilaterally and violently rejected by Qidian without reason even though it did not violate any ban or regulations. If the situation does not change within two to three working days, the new book will be stillborn.
