In April of the fourth year of Yasunaga (1345), Japan was in the midst of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate of the Northern Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshinori, and Ashikaga Yoshinori,Yoshinori Yoshinori(Ashikaga Yoshinori), the son of Yoshinori of the Northern Dynasty, and the rich field of Izumo Kingdom, gave their favorite vassal Sasaki Michiyu (Kyogoku Michiyuki). In Koraso, there is a place called Nizi Township, which was later given to Sasaki Takahisa, the grandson of Sasaki Michiyuki, who was the ancestor of the Daimyo Niko family in the Sengoku period.

In the third year of Matilda (1392), Kyogoku Takatoshi, the grandson of Sasaki Michiyuki, was appointed as the guardian of Izumo Andyo Kingdom. In order to govern the Izumo Kingdom, Kyogoku Takashi sent Niko Takahisa's second son, Niko, to the Izumo Kingdom as a guardian, and the Nichiko family officially moved to live in the Izumo Kingdom.
In the first year of the reign of Otohito (1467), the "Rebellion of the Eijin Civilization" broke out in Kyoto, and kyogoku, the lord of the Niko clan, joined the side of the Eastern Army and fought against the Omi Kingdom in Rasaka. At the local level, the impact of the "YingRen Rebellion" was also very great, and there were divisions in various parts of Japan, and the Eastern Army and the Western Army attacked each other.
On June 20, 1468, matsuda Keizen, a member of the Izumo Domain, raised an army with the support of the Western military's Boqi Guardian Yamamyo and launched an attack on Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, where the guardian lived. At this time, the head of the Nizi family was Nizi Kiyumei, the enduring son of The Ninko, and in order to maintain the authority of the Guardian Dynasty and the rule of the Kyogoku family in Izumo Province, niko Kiyondei decided to lead an army against the Matsuda family.
Under the command of Nishiko Kiyoto, the Nizi army quickly repelled Matsuda's defense. Not only that, but on July 1, Nizi Kiyondei also led an army to besiege Matsuda Beimae's Jujinyama Castle, and after three joint battles, Nizi Kiyonding finally defeated Matsuda Bizen and the Yamana army that came to support.
On July 1, 1469, the first year of civilization, the Nizi army launched an attack on rebels in the Oto region of Izumo Province. After the defeat in the first battle, the nearly sixty-year-old Nizi Qingding personally commanded the battle with his hands on the battlefield, and finally defeated the enemy army on July 29. To this end, Kyogoku, who was in Kyoto, gave Nizi Kiyori a feeling and affirmed the struggle of the Nizi family.
In the second year of civilization (1470), Niko Kiyondei launched an attack on Misawa Castle, southwest of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. The Misawa clan claimed to be a descendant of the Asahi general Kiso Yoshisaka during the Genpei War, and had a strength in the Izumo Kingdom that could rival the Nizi family, and it was better to say that the two families, who both wanted to become the overlords of the Izumo Kingdom, would sooner or later have a decisive battle. In June of the same year, Iwami Kuni's Western Forces invaded the western region of Izumo Province, and Niko Kiyomaki once again led an attack to repel the enemy forces. In this year, kyogoku shogun kyogoku died, and the position of house governor passed to his grandson Sun Tongzi Maru, who was young and ill, and eventually the shogunate appointed Kyogoku Masayoshi, the third son of Kyogoku Shōki, as the head of the family.
In the sixth year of civilization (1474), Nizi Qingding sent his seventeen-year-old concubine Nizi Andshiro Shangluo, who served in Luozhong and received a word from the Lord Kyogoku Political and Economic Office, taking the name Nizi Jingjiu. In the same year that Niko was enduring his time, an Earthi rebellion against the Niko family broke out in Izumo Kuninogi-gun.
The domain of the Kyogoku and Rokkaku families during the Yingren Rebellion
On April 14, Toichi invaded Tomita Village, and on the 19th day he engaged in a fierce battle with the Nizi army on the side of Sakurazaki. On May 2, Toichi attacked the town of Joshita Castle, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. At this time, Nizi Qingding did not have time to gather troops, so he had to use the limited military strength under his command to engage a group of people, although the Nizi army eventually repelled the enemy army, but many of Nizi Qingding's courtiers were killed in this joint battle.
Between the tenth year of civilization (1478) and the eleventh year of civilization (1479), The nizi Qingding, who was nearly eighty years old, died of illness. After the death of his father, Niko Kiyonari, Ninko took over as governor, but the young and vigorous Ninko soon came into conflict with the Muromachi shogunate.
In December of the fourteenth year of civilization (1482), the Muromachi shogunate issued an order to Kyogoku Masaki and Niko, asking why Izumo Kingdom did not provide conscription to the shogunate, and the shogunate said that if the Kyogoku and Niko families continued to neglect to serve the shogunate, the shogunate would punish them. In fact, as early as the Kyogoku Qing Dynasty, the Kyogoku family exempted yunguo from some taxes, but after the nuns succeeded to the throne for a long time, not only did they not pay tribute to the main family, but they did not even provide servitude. Therefore, in the letter issued by the shogunate, four major crimes of the nuns were enumerated: First, the nizi encroached on the territory of the temple in the Izumo Kingdom. Second, the nuns refused to pay taxes to the imperial court for the maintenance of the imperial palace. Third, Niko was chronically sluggish in the shogunate's military service. Fourth, when the shogunate ordered a conquest of the Hanoi kingdom, Niko refused to obey the order for a long time.
In March of the sixteenth year of civilization (1484), the shogunate ordered the Izumo Kingdom and the Hidden Kingdom to send troops to fight against the stubborn Nuns. Under the attack of the nationalist coalition forces, Niko was defeated for a long time and went into exile in her mother's mother's house, The Maiki family. In the Yinde Taihei Records, the reason why Nizi was exiled for a long time was that he launched an unauthorized attack on the Misawa and Mikadoya families near Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which caused dissatisfaction with Kyogoku's political economy, which led to joint exile with the guards and the people, but there is no reliable circumstantial evidence of this.
The nuns endure
In October of the seventeenth year of civilization (1485), The Nun, who had lost his position as guardian and became a ronin, came to the home of Katsushige in the old minister Yamanaka to discuss how to retake the nishiko family's home, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. It was raining heavily, and Yamanaka's wife personally poured wine for The Nun, and Yamanaka Swore allegiance to the Nun's family and listed seventeen samurai in the clan who could be trusted. However, these people alone were still insufficient, and Neko and Yamanaka Katsushige gathered the Bowl House Hema Party under Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, promised them heavy profits, and won them over. Bowl House was a gathering place for artists and craftsmen at that time, and every year a festival called "Long Live the Thousand Autumns" was held, and after the Sengoku Period, Bowl House would also enlist in the lord's army to participate in the war, assist the lord in producing weapons, and so on.
At about three o'clock in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month of the eighteenth year of civilization (1486), about seventy members of the Hema Party wore armor, and then wore plain robes and black hats on the armor, while beating the taiko drum and dancing a dance of thousands of years, towards Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. Since this was an annual meeting, the defenders of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle were not suspicious, complaining only that the time of this year's festival was a little premature, and still opened the gates.
When the attention of the defenders in the city was drawn to the Hema Party, about fifty-six people, including Neko Nobuhisa and Yamanaka Katsushige, infiltrated the city from the side gate and set fire to the city, shouting, "It's on fire!" Just when the city was in chaos, the warriors of the Hema Party immediately took off their black hats and plain robes, revealing the armor inside, and then pulled out their tai knives and long knives to attack the defenders in the city. Shioye Sweeping DepartmentSuke, who had replaced Niko as the guardian for a long time, learned that Tsukiyama Tomita Castle had been attacked at night, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet the battle, and after seeing that the general trend was gone, Shioge Sweeping Department helped kill his wife and children, and he also committed suicide in the city.
The Niko family is based in Tomita Castle
After the success of the surprise attack on Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, Niko Ando's party killed more than 450 defenders, and after a long time placed the head of the enemy army on the side of the Tomita River to show the public, while announcing that he had become the master of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle again.
This year, the nun was twenty-nine years old.
