Chapter 669 The Kyoto War

Sakai Town should be the most prosperous place in Japan at this time.

With well-connected streets, spacious docks, large-scale docks, and dense shops, all of this shows the status and atmosphere of Japan's largest commercial city to outsiders!

However, now there is no longer the bustling crowd here, as well as shops and people in the streets buying or selling, bargaining, and all of them are calm and comfortable! Instead, they are partially collapsed city walls and pedestrians walking in a hurry. What causes all this is the constant war.

Since last year, the army of Miyoshi Nagaki, Yusao Nagako, Tokawa, Masako Kaora, Hosokawa Harutomoto and other troops have repeatedly fought nearby. Even the prosperous places will be abandoned due to war.

"Hey!" In a yard room in Sakai Town, they could wait for the house to be flat for a long time. Tsuda Soda, Hibiya Kei, Imai Sohisa, and Sakai's group members shook their heads and sighed. There were fewer people and the road conditions were unstable, so their business was naturally worse, so they would occasionally gather together to exchange information and discuss countermeasures recently.

"Heikawa, Echiki's situation is pretty good. I heard that Echiki's guardian Asakura Takake died, and his son Yoshige succeeded the family governor. Your shopping mall can reach Noden, Echiki, Echiki, and Echiki, when you come back, you have to go to Echiki. Is the situation there okay?" At this time, someone asked Nowane. Obviously, the person who asked was worried that the Asakura family would change its policies for the shopping mall after changing its family governor, and he was even more worried that the situation would be unstable there, which would lead to the obstruction of the business route and affect his business.

"It's okay. Asakura Yoshike is still very welcome to our shopping malls. I heard that Asakura Yoshike is preparing to hold a song meeting, and has previously sent an invitation to the most popular Confucian scholar Kiyohara Nori, Wakao famous family, and others. However, Echigo had turmoil in the Nagao family. However, after Nagao Haruke (i.e. Kenshin Uesugi) replaced his brother as the family governor, Echigo had become much more stable at this time." Noi Waiting for Ya Heihara said.

"Is that right? I just heard that the Shinno area that is necessary to go to Echizeo, is also very unstable now!" Someone heard that Echizeo was stable and went to see if he could make a fortune there. However, when he thought that the Shinno area, which was the fastest road to Echizeo, had been very unstable recently, he immediately retreated.

"Yes, the Murakami family and Ogasawara family are fighting against the Takeda family! Both sides have not issued a victory or defeat. There are wars everywhere. However, Shinno area is not accessible, and you can also detour Etsuku to Etsuku." As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused everyone in the room to smile. Not every shopping mall is as if you can climb a house and have supplies along the way to Etsuku. If you go from Etsuku to Etsuku, the road is too far, you may end up losing money. As for detour Mino and Hikari, it is even more impossible to walk this difficult mountain road in the end.

"The Tokaido side has also become quiet recently. I heard that Hojo Izu Kazuya, who is Sagami, recently established the amount of ship service in Izu Sakaura, and all the money for ship service in new ships can be exempted from it. The Hojo family has also issued some legal documents to encourage local farmers to farm, which has inspired local farmers."

"Oh?" Many people immediately heard a lot of business opportunities from this sentence, and they had already secretly estimated whether they could make money when they went to Sagami.

"Imakawa Yoshimoto, who inherited the Imakawa family, is also committed to the construction of the territory. He is still under inspection and construction of canals recently. Welcome to the mall."

"No, it's not stable there. The governor of the Matsuhira family in Sanhe seems to have been killed. The Imakawa family took the opportunity to send Master Xuezhai from Taiyuan to Okazaki Castle to take over the Matsuhira territory. It's still very chaotic now."

"That's right, it's not safe to travel from land to Sagami!"

“How about taking the sea?”

"Hailu? I heard that there are many pirates near Mikawa? Especially the Hachiman pirates near Shima Kingdom (that is, Kumano navy and Kyuki Katsuraku's navy) have been having a big fuss recently?"

Everyone immediately talked about the situation in the Eastern Kingdom with one word.

"It seems that the east is not stable." Finally, someone said. As for the Kyoto area, these people no longer need to talk about them.

"What's going on here in the Western Country?" someone asked again at this time.

"The waterway between Shikoku and Honshu Island is still smooth."

"I heard that there were 'ghosts' goods there, and there were a lot of Ming Dynasty goods."

"Is this actually happening?" someone asked immediately.

"It's true. I have handled several porcelains from the Ming Dynasty."

“Can you buy it there?”

"Haodat?"

"Haodat? I'm afraid you don't know? Last year, the overlord of Kyushu, the Luo family, the Outomo family, started a war? Hakata has been burned to a white ground now." Someone said at this time. This person obviously has goods in Hakata, and it seems that he has lost all his money now. So his tone is a little dissatisfied.

"Hatata was burned by the people of the Oui family." At this time, one person suddenly said. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Yuda Nobuya's Nobuya from Yudaya. Yuda Nobuya was originally the first to Nawu, but later became independent from Nawu after becoming rich through the Luo family. However, Yudaya still maintained a close relationship with Nawu. Three years ago, Yudaya Yuda Nobuya and Nawu Imai Sohi jointly launched a hot state (a eliminated product from the Luo family) from the Ming Dynasty, which once set off a buying boom.

"Last year, the Ouchi family and the Otomo family invaded the Luo family, but they were defeated by the Luo family. At this time, the Luo family had occupied the Chikamae-Hatta area of ​​the Otomo family and the Otomo family Toyoko." Nobuya Yuda continued.

"Three news has been reported in the Luo family recently." Seeing that it had attracted everyone's attention, Nobuya Yuda continued.

"First, there are a large number of specialties from the Nanman and Ming countries in Hirado Island in the past. You are welcome to buy the shopping malls."

"The second is that the Luo family will rebuild Hakata. At that time, we will invite us to watch the grand occasion of the reconstruction."

"Third, the Luo family needs to buy a large amount of grain, military horses and plowing oxen. We are welcome to go for negotiations."

Yuda Nobuya's words were like bombs, and they immediately started to talk about them with interest.

Some shopping malls that originally had a good relationship with the Daoui family knew that Yutian Nobuka took this opportunity to promote the Luo family, but unexpectedly did not sing a counter-topic. Of course, this was impossible. The Daoui family's previous burning of Hakuta caused them to lose a lot of supplies and offend them all. What's more, they had been jealous of the various specialties leaked from the Luo family for a long time, and they were also particularly concerned about the distribution of profits after the reconstruction of Hakuta, so naturally they would not offend the Luo family at this time. But what puzzled them was why Yutian Nobukaka announced such important news. Wouldn't it be better to hide these news and then make money by yourself?

Of course, Nobuya Yuda hopes to swallow the Luo family's business alone. Even if his own strength is not enough to take on the business, it is enough to bring it to Naya. But now the seaways around the Luo family have been jointly intercepted by the Oui family, the Oto family, the Ito family and even some wealthy families in the four countries. The two of them alone cannot face these powerful people. But if the forces represented by these people in the room are different, this is why he announced the news at this time.

Just as Sakai Town was discussing business, in a yard in Kyoto, the public party of the Luo family was staying in Kyoto and Sakai Town who was pursuing a stern rank, but was meeting several ministers.

"Kyushu Feiqian Guardian Dazai Shaoer, Masayoro, Respect..." The housekeeper in a shabby dress pulled the long voice and pretended to behave.

Moritotsu sat near the door. Sitting in front of Emperor Nara's new favorite minister, Konomiki, and on the right was a middle-aged minister.

This huge and ancient mansion looked very old, and there was no trace of paint on both the pillars and the beams. As soon as Yi Shenglong came in, he calculated that there were only three servants that the butler had seen, and their faces were covered with vegetables. Because of the white powder, Jinwei's face was a little Shenglong could not be seen. However, because he had to go to the palace frequently, the beautiful court uniform and black hat on his body were very glamorous. Although he was sitting on it, his eyes flashed from time to time. Even though he was so majestic, his eyes flashed with greed. As a result, the situation of the entire court could be imagined!

"...A gilded dressing mirror in the Southern Barbarians, a velvet cloak, a bell ringing in the Southern Barbarians, and two glass vases." After reading the gift list, the housekeeper bowed and retreated, and another servant presented tea.

"Master Dazai Shao Er is really polite. Lord Shin-tung has worked hard!" Komye Qianqian's voice was filled with a sense of intimacy. "Now there are wars everywhere. I heard that there was a serious conflict between the Luo family and the Otomo family. Dazai Shao Er even suffered a conspiracy. Is it okay at this time?" Komye's family has always been in good terms with Yi family, and in front of him is Yi family, so they naturally stood on the side of the Luo family.

"Master, I am very healthy! I'm so worried about you." Aka Shenglong leaned over and said, "Although there are some twists and turns, I have dealt with all the blessings I ask you. Now the army of the Otomo family and the Oui family have been defeated by our family. Our family has also entered the territory of these two families to fight back. From Kyushu, we brought the Luo family's despised lords, and we are extremely respectful to His Majesty the Emperor, the infinite loyalty to the court, and we are very respectful to you!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Koenwei praised several times a long time ago, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"This is the best gift! Over the past few hundred years, the court has been weakened, and the supreme imperial power has often been bullied by brutal and slanderous people! This is really heartbreaking and makes the world lose its place. But at this time, it is really rare to be able to uphold loyalty and righteousness, support the emperor and the people, eliminate violence and eliminate evil deeds!"

"Your Excellency is really an exaggeration!" Xinglong said with a "righteous spirit": "Loyalty to the emperor and serve the country is the duty of our samurai. The Luo family will do their best to serve the emperor!"

"Okay! Lord Shenglong, please relax." Kobe Qianjiu waved his hand and said. It seems that the opening remarks have ended and it is time to enter into consultation on substantive issues.

"In recent years, the Hosokawa family and Miyo family have fought in a row near Kyoto, which has left Kyoto in chaos, and the court has almost no chance to breathe. The situation is very difficult, I hope Lord Dazai Shao Er can share more worries for the court!"

"The disadvantages are also worried about this, and it is hard to sleep and eat!" Yi Shenglong said with emotion, but he had no promise at all. Yi Shenglong is also an old man. He will definitely not make a promise casually.

"I went into the palace a few days ago, and Your Majesty even mentioned it to me!" The Emirates began to "pull the banner" a long time ago.

"The hope today is all maintained by the heroes of loyalty and righteousness in all parties. The leader among them is the first to be the Lord Dazai Shao Er! The entire court and the world are looking forward to meeting the loyalty and righteous army of Dazai Shao Er as soon as possible! Revising the world is the first act of benevolence and righteousness, and I hope he will never be humble." Komyeon said a long time ago while looking at Shenglong.

In the eyes of the shogunate and the court, instead of letting the Hosokawa family stay in Kyoto and oppressing them, it is better to change a powerful man into Kyoto, so that their situation may be improved. At this time, the Luo family had occupied nearly half of Kyushu. In their opinion, the Luo family must have the strength to enter Kyoto. Moreover, some time ago, they invited the Oui family to the Luo family, but the latter was powerless at this time. So now the expectations for the Luo family are even more eager.

But after hearing this, Moritotsu felt very funny. Konoe didn't know how many envoys of the powerful people said the same thing to many powerful people. Besides, if there were real Luo today, I would have to first count the Imakawa family, Takeda family, and Uesugi family.

"The evil family is grateful to the emperor for being grateful! Your Excellency! The evil is really powerless!" A Shenglong stroked his knee with his left hand and said, "Now the Luo family is surrounded by enemies. There are Ouchi Yoshitaka and Otoyo Town who are colluding in the north; there are pirates on the sea from the south and west; there are Ito Yoshio who colluded with the Otoyo family in the south; there are Ito Yoshio who colluded with the Otoyo family in the south; the four powerful countries in the east are also eyeing Kyushu; the family is not stable under the instigation of those who are interested. The evil..."

"The bad guy is ready to summon people of all directions to join in the righteous act of serving the king! But..." After a brief pause, Sheng Long continued to say with regret: "It's always touching and slightest! Besides, the bad guy's position is humble, even if the sect comes here this time, he is still very nervous, afraid of sacrificing the heavenly face!"

"It's a pity!" Komyeon picked up the teacup and shook his head and sighed: "Myong Takashi didn't know anything. I also wanted to win a higher official position for Lord Dazai Shao Er. However, some colleagues who supported the Outo family and the Ototo family raised great opposition. Besides, His Majesty the Emperor put the world first and involved the court system..." It seemed that he had held his hand under the teacup and twisted his fingers.

"Sir, I know!" Ao Sheng Long said understandably: "I think the current reputation of the Luo family is very inconsistent with its power. My lord is just a mere damn Shao Er! This has seriously hindered the development of our Luo family! Although the Luo family is in a difficult situation, they still spare no effort to serve the court! This time, the bad guys are here. The superiors are responsible for offering 2,000 guan to the court. I hope you will present the emperor on behalf of the emperor! In the future, the Luo family will make contributions as long as they can."

Ichimori Takaya also knew that in the summer of the second year of Astronomy (1533), the Emperor sent the imperial envoy to Kanto to request the donation of the major names of Imakawa, Hojo, Asakura and Nagao. As a result, only Zhou Fang's Yoshitaka gave a huge donation of 2,200 guan. The court was surprised and happy. Emperor Nara's ascension ceremony was finally held in February of the fifth year of Astronomy. Thanks to the merits of the Ouchi clan, the court promoted him to Ozha. Moreover, Emperor Nara had always been good to the Ouchi family, so in order to defeat the resistance created by the Ouchi family in Kyoto this time, he had to spend a lot of money to take down the official position Masara hoped to obtain.

"I already understand the intentions of Master Dazai Shao Er! Just by making efforts, you may not be able to achieve Master Dazai Shao Er's wish." After saying that, Konomi looked at the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the right without making any sound before.

After hearing this, Sheng Long understood immediately. Then he said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Xuanxiu, Zhongyumen, I am polite."

Akatsuki Yoshiroki also knew about this middle-aged man. This person was named Zhongyumen Xuanxiu. He was born in the Fujiwara Kita family and persuaded the construction of the temple. He was a celebrity in Kyoto. More importantly, his father was the court's lord Danayan Zhongyumen Xuanyin. With the help of this person, the Luo family's plan in the court this time was indeed much more guaranteed.

If Masayoshi was here, he would be even more surprised. Because he would never have thought that he would be involved in the Zhongyumen family. This family has produced a historical celebrity. This person is the female Daming Shouguini.

Who is Shoukaini? She is the daughter of Nakamori Yoshinori. In the second year of Echon (1505), she became the main wife of the Imakawa family's Imakawa family, and later gave birth to the eldest son, Imakawa Shiki, and the fifth son, Imakawa Yoshimoto. Because the Imakawa family's health was not good, Shoukaini often assisted him and formulated the Imakawa family's division law in the 26th year of Echon.

In the 6th year of Oei (1526), ​​the Imakawa family died of illness, and the eldest son, Qie, inherited the position of family governor. However, Qie was only 14 years old at that time, and at this time, the Dafang Hall was thirty-seven. After the Imakawa family's death, the Dafang Hall became a monk and changed its name to "Shouguini". Before Qie took power at the age of 16, the Imakawa family was responsible for the government affairs. For this reason, she was called "the female Warring States Period daimyo, nuntai".
