In the Luo family's army tent outside the city of Yudayue City, Yoshikishi County, Zhou Fangguo, Masayoshi was frowning and looking at a young man in the costumes of a nobleman in front of him, who was less than twenty years old. ()

This young man was discovered by Isono Toshimasaki and others in the Tensou Pavilion in the Edaigao Castle. What made Masarara feel headache was the origin and name of this young man. It turned out that this young man was the 14th general of the Muromachi Shogunate in history and the 12th general Ashikaga Yoshiguchi, son of Yoshihiro Yoshihiro, son of Yoshihiro Yoshihiro, the younger brother of Yoshihiko Yoshihiro.

In history, after the 13th generation general Ashikaga Yoshiki was killed by Matsunaga Hide and Miho, Ashikaga Yoshiei would be supported by Matsunaga Hide and others. The following year he entered Tsutotoda and asked the court to be appointed as a general in the tenth year of Nagato (1567). In February of the following year, the general announced (ascending the throne). In September of the same year, Oda Nobunaga entered the capital, and Ashikaga Yoshiei eventually died of illness before the war (and there were rumors that this puppet general was actually assassinated).

Zhengliang was really surprised by this guest who suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't think about how to deal with this guest for a while. The reason why Zhengliang was so entangled was mainly because of the father of the young man in front of him.

The young man's father, Ashikaga Yoshimori, was the second son of Ashikaga Yoshimori, the 11th-generation general of the Muromachi shogunate, and the younger brother of Ashikaga Yoshimori (the father of Ashikaga Yoshifuri), and the adopted son of Ashikaga Yoshimori, the tenth-generation general of Ashikaga Yoshimori. Ashikaga Yoshimori was originally a puppet supported by Hosakawa Harutomori, used to deal with Ashikaga Yoshimori, but later fell into the vortex of the struggle between the Hosokawa family and the Miyo family. In the first year of Astronomy (1532), Miyoshimori was killed by Hosokawa Harutomori, and Ashikaga Yoshimori took refuge in Hirashimajo in Tennoji Temple in Awakoku. So he was called Hirashima Gongkaga.

Since she had been against Ashikaga Yoshiharu before, Ashikaga Yoshihide, as Ashikaga Yoshiharu's son, naturally had no good feelings for her. Now Ashikaga Yoshihide has come to power. The Luo family has always had a good relationship with this newly-entered shogun. If the relationship with Ashikaga Yoshiharu and his son was in trouble because of the inclusion of Ashikaga Yoshiharu and his son, it would not be a good thing for the Luo family.

Although the Luo family did not need to rely on Ashikaga Yoshihiro at this time, on the contrary, the other party needed the Luo family even more. However, it would be not good to cause a crack between the two families. However, it would not be so easy to send Ashikaga Yoshihiro and his son away like this. After all, the other party was all about Hirashima. In short, how to deal with the matter of the young man in front of him. If you are not careful, it will cause a lot of trouble. At least the reputation of the Luo family is likely to be affected.

Just when Masaru was struggling, Ashikaga Yoshiei, who was in the lower office, was also very depressed. Although he had already received the news and knew that the important officials of the Oui family would be on the Mori family of An Yiguo, in the eyes of their family, with the strength of the Oui family, this battle would be sure to win. So Ashikaga Yoshiei simply ran to the area near Uedaga Castle without any defense and started to play.

As a result, Ashikaga Yoshiei, who had been traveling for a while, suddenly received news that the Danai family was defeated. What shocked him even more was that it was not the Maori family that defeated the Danai family, but the Luo family that appeared out of thin air. After coming to the Yamaguchi, Ashikaga Yoshiei also heard about the rumors of many nobles and literati who settled in the Yamaguchi area. In short, in the eyes of everyone, the Luo family is a giant who has suddenly risen in the Kyushu area in recent years.

Now such a giant suddenly attacked the Ouchi family, and according to the descriptions of those who fled to the Yamaguchi area, the army of the Luo family was about to rush here in a flash. With the arrival of this news, there was a mess everywhere around. In panic, Ashikaga Yoshiei had to take his subordinates into the nearby Uedagata Castle and asked the Ouchi family's retainers to send someone to escort him back to the Yamaguchi area.

As a result, something that scared him happened. I don’t know what the city lord’s considerations were, not only did not send troops to escort him back to the mountain pass area as he asked, but he also put him under house arrest. As for his subordinates, the male man was simply taken to the prison cell in the city to guard him, and the maid stayed in the Tianshou Pavilion as a servant who served him daily. As for the city lord who decided to put him under house arrest, he simply never came to see him at the very least.

Not long after being under house arrest, he soon saw the Luo Family army suddenly attacking outside the city through the terrace of Tianshou Pavilion. In this way, he was under house arrest in Tianshou Pavilion day after day, and also watched the battle between the Luo Family army siegeing the city and the Youtian Family defending the city. In this process, he seemed to have been forgotten in a corner, and no one paid attention to it. Just when he had already accepted his fate, an accident suddenly occurred today.

It turned out that it was this afternoon that many family members of the Utsuda family suddenly flocked into the Tianshou Pavilion. At the same time, Takaraki Utsuda, as the city lord, also fled into the Tianshou Pavilion in a panic. Takaraki Utsuda, the city lord, explained the situation in the city to him with a serious expression, and said bluntly that the city was about to be captured by the Luo family. As for the fate of Ashikaga Yoshiei, he had to ask for more blessings.

After that, he witnessed Takarao Yuda committed suicide by cesarean section in front of him. After the Luo family army rushed into Tianshou Pavilion, he also fell into the hands of the Luo family and was brought to the front of the hero who was also very young but called the governor of the Luo family.

Thinking of what happened over the past period of time, Ashikaga Yoshiei really felt depressed. He even doubted whether his father's decision to come to Yamaguchi to settle in the Yamaguchi area with his family was right.

So, why did Ashikaga Yoshiei's family, who had originally settled on Apohing Island, suddenly appear in the territory of the Xiguo Zhoufang Da'ai family?

The reason is that the Miyo family is rapidly annexing the Hosokawa family's forces. As Miyo Nagaki defeated Hosokawa Haruto several times and even expelled Hosokawa Haruto to the Tango Kingdom, the Miyo family gradually established a strong territory in the Kitani.

Of course, Miyoshi Nagaki only defeated Hosokawa Harutomoto, who represented the Hosokawa family. In fact, there were many Hosokawa family who controlled the Hosokawa country, Apo family, Awaji country and other regions of the four countries. In case of precautions, Miyoshi Nagaki entrusted his younger brother Tokawa Ichizu, Miyoshi Yoshiken, and Anzai Tokaya respectively began to expand the power of the Sanyoshi family in the above-mentioned areas. At the same time, weakened the power of the Hosokawa family's division (Hoshi Harutomoto offended the various divisions when Hosokawa was in power. So when he was attacked by Miyoshi Nagaki, these divisions did not support Hosokawa Harutomoto).

On August 19, 1552, Miyoshi Yoshiki, with the help of his fourth brother Tokawa Ikawa, Miyoshi Yoshiki, with the help of his fourth brother of the Hoshikawa Kingdom, raided the nominal lord Awa, guarding Hosokawa Takashi (Hosokawa Takashi is the governor of the Hosokawa family Awa family). He assassinated Hosokawa Takashi at Mishin Temple in Sakatung County, and then eliminated the Hosokawa family forces among the solemn ministers of Hosokawa. While nominally unifying the Awa country, he secretly suppressed the local Hosokawa family forces and gradually began to truly control the Awa country in the Shikoku region.

The murder of the lord was contrary to morality, and a commotion was immediately caused by the powerful Hosokawa retainers (mostly natives) of the Awa Kingdom. In order to calm the contention, Miyoshi Yoshiki realized that it was necessary to be recognized by the Awahirashima official on the surface to justify his actions. So, three days after Hosokawa Shitaka was assassinated, that is, on August 22, Miyoshi Yoshiki invited the elders of the Awahira family. The Miyoshi Minzu, who had become a monk at that time, entered the Dao Ruzu, and asked him to go to the Hirashima official on the assassination and the current situation.

Ru San met Ashikaga Yoshihiro's father Ashikaga Yoshihiro as his close friend. After the two sides met, Ru San explained tactfully: "This matter suddenly became hasty. In fact, because Yoshiki was inexplicably hated by the lord and felt uneasy about his own situation, he had to use such extraordinary means to protect himself. That's all. The lands under the throne and the retainers and actions of the public are as they did in the past. He did not dare to change anything, and the Mihao family will be the same as the Hosokawa family.

, and be loyal to the public. The Hosokawa family, we have established his successor, Rokuro (Shosokawa Matsuyuki) to inherit this son. This son is talented and smart, and will definitely be able to revive his family business. As for the mother of the Gongfang, who is stranded in Katsurui City, I think it is the responsibility of our three good clans to protect their personal safety. In any case, I will convey the news of safety and ask the Qingfang to continue to keep Katsurui City." After saying that, I bowed my head deeply on the straw mat between me.

Ashikaga Yoshiei's father, Ashikaga Yoshiei, spent his youth under the nurturing of Hosakagawa Shitaka, and received help from Hosakagawa Shitaka to ensure that the Hirashima territory was always stable, so he has always been grateful to Hosakagawa Shitaka. Now, Hosakagawa Shitaka, who has not completed his career, was suddenly killed. Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiei couldn't help but rush up and immediately replied: "I have advocated killing Hosaka Shitaka and acted without leaving any room for anything. Who is the position of saying this now? I don't need your explanation, so I'd better go back quickly!"

Seeing his pro-Ashikaga Yoshihide's angry expression Rusan replied: "This seems to be a problem that can be solved with emotions. Please consider it carefully." He said that he would stay here and wait for the final reply, but Ashikaga Yoshihide still insisted and threatened to expel him, so Rusan stopped mediating activities and returned to Katsuri Castle.

After this incident, Ashikaga Yoshihide secretly thought about whether to leave the Sanhao family's sphere of influence and move to other places, but also considering that his biological mother, Kiyoshi Yuan, is now under house arrest as a hostage, because of this, it is not worth moving to another country regardless of his mother's safety. It is better to ensure the safety of his wealth on Hirashima.

In order to appease the wealthy family, Miyoshi Yoshiki Yoshiki, who was rejected by Hirashima, had to make a fuss about Shitaka Hosokawa's son. Although Rokuro, who was appointed as the governor of Shitaka Hosokawa's family, was born to Shitaka Hosokawa's concubine, was made the legitimate son because his wife was not born. So Miyoshi Yoshiki Yoshiki said to his retainers: "The reason why he assassinated the lord Shitaka Hosokawa and dominated the entire land of Abo was a last resort. At first, he just wanted to protect himself, but none of the retainers sacrificed his treacherous dynasty for his death was a result of heaven. I should take good care of his noble son, Rokuro, and receive a good education. In the future, I will treat Shitaka as a minister."

So Miyoshi Yoshi brought Makoto back to his mansion to raise him. Soon after, Hosokawa retainer Sano Tanhamamoto launched a revenge in the name of attacking the traitor Miyoshi Yoshi Yoshi who assassinated the lord of the king Jitaka, and received support from a group of powerful samurai led by Shibahara's lord Kume Yoshihiro, but soon fell. Sano Tanhamamoto, Kume Yoshihiro and others died one after another, and the Miyoshi family's rule in Awa is even stronger. In the 22nd year of Astronomy (1553), in order to help his brother Miyoshi Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi again crossed the sea and defeated Hanoi's traditional power, Naoyama O, Takamasa, and Ankami Naomasa (Soba), and so on. Soon, he returned to Awa, and the local wealthy families in Awa Country resisted Miyoshi's family no longer existed. However, the Hirashima Gong always watched this coldly.

The murder in Hosokawa Shitaka passed by about a year and a half. The mother of Ashikaga Yoshihiko was born in the house of Ashikaga Yoshihiko and missed her son too much. She died of illness in Katsuri Castle on March 16, 1554. Ashikaga Yoshihiko retrieved her mother's coffin and buried her in the Bodhi Temple, Nishikoji Temple, Ashikaga Yoshinobu, in the Ashikaga Yoshinobu, in Hirashima. She acted with courtesy and expressed her grief.

Later, the entire Awa Gongfang gathered together in Nishikoji Temple to offer sacrifices to the first anniversary of the Qingyun Temple Hall. He also held a grand ceremony to mourn Hosokawa Shitaka and his retainers. In the name of the Cold Spring Bureau of the Qingyun Temple Hall, the old retainer Aarakawa Mindou, and the late Funaga Tomoe Tomoetsu Houshu Temple, sent the fields of about three rebellions to the Hirashikoji Temple to the Nakashu River in Hirashima.

After the end of his mother's Dharma Assembly, Ashikaga Yoshihiro sent a message to Miyoshi Yoshiken of Katsuri Castle and said, "Hoshikawa Shitaka, who was once kind to me in the past, is no longer alive, and my mother unfortunately died. It has been more than an anniversary. I no longer want to stay in Awa's sad place. Now I am willing to leave Awa and go to his wife's house. Ouchi Yoshinaga, who relies on Zhougong, will cross the sea to China now."

Faced with such a sincere application, Miyoshi Yoshi felt that even if he was prevented and forced to stay in Awa, it seemed that there was no practical value. He ordered a large ship to be transferred to send him and his family to go with him. There were six samurai who came to the Hirashima Pavilion with Ashikaga Yoshihiro at that time. Ashikaga Yoshihiro summoned the main lord of Kanoi Kōna and Yuasa Kazuno and said in person: "Kanda, you can return to Hanoi from now on. You often pay attention to the information of the Kitani area and report to me in a timely manner." So Dinga and his family returned to their hometown.

Ashikaga Yoshihide also said: "Kan Tsuna can stay at Hirashima Hall as my agent, be responsible for the regular sacrifices of my deceased mother, and convey my orders to Miyoshi Yoshi." Yuasa Kazunaga was born in Ahwa and always diligently treated the task of sacrificing the Qingyun Temple Hall, and later belonged to Miyoshi Yoshi.

In the first year of Hongzhi, Ashikaga Yoshihide's ship left Hirashima where he lived since childhood, and led his clan relatives to Zhoufangguo and Kozu Port to watch the ships gradually fade away and finally disappeared into the distant sky. Since then, it has marked that Hirashima's official ended its cooperation with Awa's real power Miyoshi family. The ships responsible for escorting Ashikaga Yoshihide's family this time were ships that split the Hosokawa family in Hosokawa, the Hosokawa family. However, although these navy troops were still under the banner of the Hosokawa family, they were actually all controlled by the Miyoshi family.

Ashikaga Yoshiyuki's wife was the daughter of Yoshihiko Ouchi (Ouchi Yoshitaka's father), and was in-laws with the Ouchi family, so when their family arrived at Zhou Fangguo, they were naturally welcomed by Yoshikaga Ouchi. At this time, the Battle of Itsuki was still brewing, and they didn't know that the giant Luo family would join the Ouchi family in the future, so they settled safely in the local area. Soon after, the Battle of Itsuki broke out, and the Luo family, which became the final winner, took the opportunity to enter the Ouchi family's territory, and Yoshiei Ashikaga fell into the hands of the Luo family.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiyuki, who was at home in Yamaguchi, had no idea that his son Ashikaga Yoshiei had fallen into the hands of the Luo family. As the person involved, Ashikaga Yoshiei was also uneasy at this time. He even thought that he would be killed, but he was very unwilling to accept it. After all, he was only eighteen years old, and he had not experienced many beautiful things in this world.

"Send people secretly to the Xuefu Castle in Himeki, and take his maids and servants away. Don't let people know about this for the time being, let alone know his identity." Just when Ashikaga Yoshiei was nervous, Masara finally confirmed his ending. Kato Tatsuzo was on the side immediately took the order.

Because Ashikaga Yoshie's special identity, it is indeed impossible for too many people to know his identity and whereabouts at this time. As for Ashikaga Yoshie's father and others, Masarara was preparing to temporarily send some black eagles to sneak into the Yamaguchi area, control them first, and transfer them to a safe place to avoid accidents caused by the war. After Zhou Fang completely fell into the hands of the Luo family, he would also be treated the same as Ashikaga Yoshie and would be moved to the Himeki Kyushu area.
