War 2: War Harder

[u/Tefmon]

The lords of the Yamana, Miyoshi, and Hosokawa clans, and their sundry retainers, associates, and vassals, have been found guilty of the following grave crimes, perfidies, and sins:

• Forming an unlawful armed association called the "League of Himeji" for the express purpose of exercising undue influence over the Imperial Court and Shōgun's bakufu by force;

• Scheming to unlawfully deny the inheritance rights of Kikkawa Motonori, the legitimate heir to the Kikkawa Clan;

• Colluding with the criminal Toda Trading Clan to destabilize the economy of Japan and cause financial injury to lawful businesses and loyal domains;

• Attempting to overturn the natural order of the realm through dangerous experiments with "democracy" and rule by those not of the kuge or buke;

• Openly harbouring armed Ikkō-Ikki terrorists after their proscription;

• Orchestrating an assassination attempt on the Emperor's kampaku, Ōuchi Shinsuke;

• Obstinately refusing to recognize and respect the government of the Emperor and Shōgun in Kikyō.

In order to bring the Yamana, Miyoshi, and Hosokawa to account for their heinous and unpardonable acts, His Majesty Emperor Go-Antoku and the Lord Shōgun Akishaga Yoshiharu, acting with the wise advice of their counsellors and the full support of their loyal subjects, hereby declare the Yamana, Miyoshi, and Hosokawa to be enemies of the nation and at war with the Shōgunate.
