Just as Echigo's Dragon Nagata Keito was busy suppressing the civil strife in the territory, Kakai's Dragon Takeda Haruno was not idle either.

If Echigo Dragon Long Tail Keizuki is a natural military genius, then Kafai Tiger Takeda Haruno is an outstanding strategist. As early as the 19th year of Astronomy, when he learned that his father Takeda Nobuki married Suruga's daughter, Tsingein, Imakawa's Masashimi, died, Imakawa Yoshimoto's wife, Dingein, immediately sent the Hanoi Astroyama family in the "Ershan System" to discuss the marriage between the two families. So two years later (21st year of Astronomy), Imakawa Yoshimoto's daughter Ritsumain (Dingein and Yoshimoto's daughter), and became Taro Takeda Yoshimoto's wife (this is a standard cousin).

In the 22nd year of Astronomy, Haruno Takeda then intermediated the Oyamada family in the county of the Two Mountains system, and married his daughter Huangmeiyuan into the Odawara Hojo family and became the wife of the Hojo family, the son of the Hojo family. In the 23rd year of Astronomy, after some efforts, the Hayakawa, the daughter of the Hojo family, sat in a cage to the Junfu Castle under the escort of a large number of Sagami samurai, and became the wife of the Imakawa Yoshimoto son. While the Takeda family and the Nagao family confronted each other, the famous Astrotsu Jun alliance was finally finalized. In March this year (the 23rd year of Astronomy), the Takeda family, the Imakawa family, and the Hojo family finally met at the Seontoji Temple and concluded an alliance.

I don’t know if Takeda Haruno had expected to meet Echizen Dragon in the north a few years ago, and he actually started to plan this tripartite alliance several years in advance. Now, just as the Takeda family and the Nagao family were about to fight in the northern part of the East Kingdom, Takeda Haruno happened to go through this tripartite alliance. It completely stabilized the stability of the Takeda family in the south, so that the Takeda family could fight with the Nagao family in the north.

Similarly, due to this alliance, the Hojo family and the Imakawa family were able to shift their strategic focus. The strategic center of the Hojo family naturally continued to deepen their own forces into the Kanto Plain area, but it also led to the Raptors' Nagata family from Echigo.

Sometimes I really admire Echigo's Dragon Long Tail Keito, who had to fight against the two martial giants, Takeda and Hojo, with his own strength. During the battle, I even had to pour cold water on the people in Echigo's country who were eager to rebel from time to time.

Here the Hojo family and the Nagao family faced each other, but Imakawa Yoshimoto, the governor of the Imakawa family, finally began to consider the fact that the Imakawa family became the world's people. If the Imakawa family is the first obstacle, the Ohachi Oda family, which is on the verge of civil strife, must be solved.

At this time, the military advisor at home, Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was both a teacher and a friend of Imakawa, was seriously ill and was recuperating at home for a long time. He lacked the caution and resourceful reminder of Taiyuan Xuezhai by his side. In addition, the alliance with the Takeda family and the Hojo family has solved his worries. Some of the retainers in the family flattered and advocated him at the right time, Imakawa Yoshimoto had already prepared to go to Luo.

In this process of inciting Imakawa Yoshimoto Kyoro, the nobles from Kyoto and the newly appointed thirteenth-generation general of the Shogunate, Yoshihiro Ashikaga, also made an indispensable contribution.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was dedicated to replied to the authority of the shogun, had become a puppet of the Miyo Family at this time, due to the fact that there were many forces such as the Kinki area near Kinki, Hosokawa Harumoto, who was unwilling to fail and the Hexaki Family who was ready to take advantage of the situation at any time, Miyo Nagaki's main energy was still in the fight with these forces. The supervision of Ashikaga Yoshiki was really limited. It is precisely because of this that Ashikaga Yoshiki had enough opportunities to implement his ambitions.

To re-establish the authority of the shogun, we must first have an army, and then use the army to defeat Miyoshi Nagaki, who was watching him. In this era, who is really the boss's era is from the era of the boss. However, Ashikaga Yoshiki soon became a little desperate about the military affairs.

The thing is like this. The generals of the Muromachi Shogunate used to have direct troops. At first, they were called "Ma Huizhong" and later they were called "Sengxingzhong". They selected the second son or concubine of the samurai family of all Japan. They came to Kyoto to serve the general, and were raised by the general, and served as the general's personal soldiers in war, and they were usually bureaucrats of the shogunate. The third general of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshimi, had 3,000 people under the command of the public. Even after the Yoshihiro Yoshikaga, the ninth general of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshikaga, and even mobilized 700 people to fight against the Omeri Rokaka family. However, in the Ashikaga Yoshiki era, there were only about a hundred people left in the public, and even the establishment of a sharp knife company was not considered a slight knife company. The reason is very simple: one, the general's family was poor; two, the general's family had no authority.

The source of finance for the shogun is as follows: one is the manors spread all over the Gyeonggi, which are now occupied by daimyos and Chinese people; the second is that the taxes in Kyoto are now unable to be collected; the third is that manpower and money can be temporarily collected, and no one will pay attention to it now. In this case, the general's family is very poor. It is said that the eighth-generation general, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, sold many treasured calligraphy, paintings and tea instruments in order to repair the Ginkaku Temple. When Yoshikagaki arrived, it was even worse. How could he afford so many devotionalists?

In addition, the shogunate was becoming less and less attractive to the Japanese world. Originally, there were so many concubines from famous martial arts families, full of loyalty and came to the general's tent to serve the general's work. Why? I just hope that the general would be happy one day, Fatongyu taught and could support him to steal the position of the family governor. In addition, under the system of Daming of the Warring States Period, the power of the family governor was strengthened, and the concubine's son basically became a retainer, and everyone was in charge of food and drink, and he didn't have the idleness to travel all the way to Kyoto to suffer.

So the general Ashikaga Yoshiki soon discovered that he had no money and no land now, and could not organize a large-scale army at all. In this case, without an army, he could not shake Miyoshi Nagaki. If he could not shake Miyoshi Nagaki, he would be even more unable to regain the prestige of the shogun. The fundamental reason was that he had no money and no land. This was a vicious cycle and it was difficult to recover.

The grief and angry Ashikaga Yoshihiro thought about it and directly confronted Miyo Changke, and there was basically no way out, so he thought of two more ways.

The first solution is naturally to continue his previous assassination operations. He continued to secretly organize his own assassin training class, and then waited for an opportunity to send assassin to assassinate Sanhao Changqing. I guess his idea at this time was to assassinate ten or eight times. One time, would he succeed?

Another way is to keep getting along with each other. After all, he is still the official in Kyoto. He can contact other daimyos and use the trick of driving tigers and swallowing wolves to turn away Miyoshi Nagaki! The Tayyama family in Kinki and the Hexake family are actually just small characters, the Ro family in Kyushu; the Niko family in the West, the Mori family in Tokaido; the Imakawa family in Kanto; the Nagao family in Kanto; and other powerful daimyos that he wants to focus on. Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshihiro's vision is no longer limited to the Gyeonggi area, but to make a sound, so that all the Warring States daimyos from all over the country will come to serve the king.

For this reason, he has really done a lot of things during this period.

In the Katsunobu region, Takeda Haruno attacked Ogasawara, and Ashigata Yoshikiri actively mediated from it; in the western region, Mori Moto fought with Niko Harunaki, and Ashigata Yoshiki said that both sides would return to the negotiating table as soon as possible; if the Luo family had not been able to guide the two areas of the southeastern Toyoshi's country and the northeastern Toyoshi's country, the surrounding borders were blocked by the Luo family, and the news of the strategy was not immediately publicized, it was estimated that Ashigata Yoshiki would also send people to mediate. As for Ashigata Yoshiki's actions, Dana as the party with the advantage, naturally he would not pay attention to these seemingly useless actions of Ashigata Yoshiki. After all, they came under the banner of the public side. Since they could not refuse, they would simply leave Ashigata Yoshiki's messenger aside and continue their strategy.

In addition to sending people out to carry out diplomatic work, he also gave various names and taboos to the world, giving the impression that "I am a Ashikaga family is still a dignified general." For a time, the Maori family, the Ida family, and the Tsukii family all received gifts with the characters "Tsuki" or "Qi" - Hosokawa Fujitaka and Tsukii Katsushikazu (i.e. Tsukii Shunkai) were the characters "Tsukii" used in the past (before Ashikaga Yoshiki was called Ashikaga Yoshiki before his name was changed), and the Maori Fujimoto and Ida Hirosong were the characters "Qi". They didn't care about others' care (most of them ignored him, but they still wanted to give him a gift), but they were just giving him on their own initiative.

Of course, the most important thing is to use the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, and encourage Daming Kurokuro to serve the king in various places. The Imakawa family was the first one to be inspired by it, and now it is the Luo family. It defeated the Oui family and the Oto family, who were once the overlord of Kitakyushu, and even annexed the two spheres of influence in Kitakyushu, especially the recent annexation of the Oto family's last territory and at the same time forcing the Oto family to death to the Oto family's governor to spread in various places. The news of the Luo family's popularity in the Western Region was unparalleled, and its reputation was even stronger than the Hojo family, Takeda family, Nagao family and Imakawa family that rose in the eastern region.

Such a powerful Luo family is naturally the foreign aid target that Ashikaga Yoshihiro, who just needed foreign aid, was looking for. It can be said that the arrival of Ashikaga Yoshihiro's messenger and his winning over the Luo family are historical necessities.

Of course, Ashikaga Yoshihide also knew that since he wanted others to work hard for you, he had to understand the principle of giving sweetness. Ashikaga Yoshihide can now give sweetness to daimyos everywhere, except for his servitude and the official position he discussed with the Emperor. So this time, Ashikaga Yoshihide sent Masara's in-laws, Omen Norihide, as an envoy, to not only give a letter from Masarara to invite Masarara to serve the king, but also to Masarara's promotion of service and official position.

In terms of the service positions controlled by the shogun, Masayoshi had been the guardian of the sixth ranks, from the sixth ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks to the ranks, the ranks to the ranks to the ranks of the ranks to the ranks of the ranks to the ranks of the ranks of Kyushu.

Kyushu Exploration is one of the most important local responsibilities of the Muromachi Shogunate. He is responsible for the military and political power of the Toyoshi, Toyoshi, Tsubasa, Tsubasa, Hirago, Hirago, Hirago, Satsuma, Osumachi, and Osumachi. Historically, in the early Muromachi, Imachi Toyoshi served as the Hirakawa family, and later hereditary by the Shirakawa family. After the Yorien Rebellion, with the decline of the Shirakawa family, Kyushu Exploration has become famous. Now, Masara is given a shogunate position, although it is not really able to control all the military and political power of the Kyushu area, Masara is given a name for the great profession of intervening in the military and political affairs of various regions of Kyushu. Not only does Masara have a more justified rule over the areas that have been controlled by the Luo family, but it is even a name for the great profession of intervening in the hostile areas of Kyushu.

This time, in addition to the position of Kyushu, the shogunate also appointed the position of Toyogo Guardian from the six subordinates to Masaru. It seems that with the death of Ototo Yoshi-shi, the friendship between the Ototo family and the shogun family in the past was completely destroyed. The position of Toyogo Guardian held by Ototo Yoshi-shi was naturally given to Masaru by Ashikaga Yoshi-shi. Since then, Masaru has been the legitimate guardian of the Kyushu Six Kingdoms.

However, the above are not enough. What is even more exaggerated is that Ashikaga Yoshihiro also asked Nakaoji Jungun to send several things to Masayoro.

The first is "paoqi", that is, a sedan chair with a conspicuous color, which was generally owned by famous families in the Muromachi era. Of course, Ashikaga Yoshiki would not let Nakagi Ngyuko really carry such a sedan chair from Kyoto to Kyushu. Ashikaga Yoshiki now just let Masayoro get such a right. This means that the shogunate recognized that the Luo family was a famous family.

The second is the "Red-handed Umbrella", which is similar to Tu Yu. It was a symbol of noble families during the Muromachi era. When he went out to inspect, he was held high by his followers. This "Red-handed Umbrella" was brought from Kyoto by Nakamori Jun. Residents Togo Heiji and others immediately solemnly worshipped him.

The third one is "house shape", which means that Masayoshi will be called "house shape" later, which is a respectful title for senior lords, such as Kyoto Hosokawa.

The fourth is the "white umbrella bag". It is not enough to have a red-handled umbrella, but you also need an umbrella bag. In the Muromachi era, the white umbrella bag was used for the guardian grid, and the Tang umbrella bag was used for the guardian grid. Masayoshi is now a legitimate guardian of the Six Kingdoms, so naturally there must be these things that indicate their identity. From this we can see that in order to win over the Luo family, Ashikaga Yoshihiro had put enough thoughts.

The fifth is "felt saddle covering", that is, saddle covered with cloth and animal hair. Its function is similar to a white umbrella bag and is a symbol of the authentic protection name.

The sixth thing is the taboo given to Masarara's legitimate son "Hui". After being tricked by Ashikaga Yoshihiro, he was already twelve years old and had already begun to follow Masarara to serve as a small surname. At the same time, Masarara's legitimate son Tang Wangmaru, who participated in the Luo Family Evaluation Conference, changed his name to Luo Family Huiliang in the future.
