Chapter 208: The Political Tiger Escapes from the Kanto Rebellion (Add more to the Sudden Rain!) )
Yoshinaga didn't know that Miki Zizuna was in Hida Province and the envoy of the Endo family made a lot of nonsense.
Yoshinaga, who had been relaxing for a while, was looking at the map, analyzing the situation in the entire eastern country.
History is almost unrecognizable by this time, and the road ahead needs to be walked by himself, so he needs to plan ahead.
Compared with the people of the Warring States Period, Yoshinaga's thinking is already the thinking of the people of the world, and generally the traditional samurai will only think about their own one-acre and three-point land, that is, they have no overall view.
Otherwise, there would not be some wealthy families who don't know how to live and die to challenge some powerful daimyos.
For example, Miki Zizuna, he once fought against Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and then it was over.
While Yoshinaga was looking at the map, Genjiro Sanada and Hanbei Takenaka were serving on the side, along with a few people close to him.
Yoshicho first looked at the news of the Kai Takeda family, Takeda Harunobu has lost tens of thousands of people since his domestic labor, and now he doesn't care about anything and concentrates on governing the country.
However, Takeda Harunobu also made diplomatic moves, first of all, to strengthen ties with Imagawa.
Secondly, Takeda Harunobu actually changed his family's Buddhist beliefs and took refuge in the Ichijo sect, so Hara Tora Yin had to leave Kai, but Harunobu let Hara Toranobu go to Hojo.
For Takeda Harunobu to change the Buddhist faith and strengthen the connection with the Ichijo Sect, Yoshinaga is a little worried about this, and now he is also somewhat connected with the Ichijo Sect, his strength is not good, and he can't fight with the Ichijo Sect for the time being.
However, the current Yixiangzong is still relatively low-key, at least not as crazy as more than ten years ago, nor as arrogant as the times.
Of course, Honganji is still very strong.
However, the mild era of Honganji was coming to an end, and the next year, in the twenty-third year of Astronomy, in 1554, Honganji died of a sudden illness, and his young son Xianru succeeded to the throne with the help of his grandmother.
Subsequently, in 1556, in the second year of Hongzhi, he married the third daughter of the left minister, Sanjo Gonglai, Ruchunni.
And Harunobu's main room is the second daughter of Sanjo Gonglai, and the two are brothers-in-law, and Harunobu is befriending Honganji because of this relationship.
If Takeda Harunobu is really friendly with Honganji, then his influence will be in contact with Honganji in both the north and the south.
Next door to Owari is Ise Nagashima, and the many people on Nagashima can threaten the security of Mino and Owari.
To the north, it is close to the country of Kaga, especially Echichu and Noto, which is directly facing Kaga, and Kaga is completely a country of Buddha, and it is controlled by the Ichisujong sect from top to bottom.
It is clear that the first large-scale launch of the first large-scale campaign was based on Kaga and Echizen, and the more China immediately responded.
Yoshicho knew that he had to prepare early, otherwise he would always be together and the blow to the country would be very serious.
Excluding Takeda's collusion with Honganji, there is no doubt that his next biggest enemy is Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Yoshinaga is in charge of Owari and Mikawa, and if he doesn't take Mikawa back, how will Imagawa Yoshimoto give up? In the end, we still have to fight, and if we hit the back, we have to destroy Imagawa Yoshimoto.
The most chaotic situation now is the situation in Kanto, followed by the power struggle in Gyeonggi. Let's talk about Kanto first, Hojo Clan Masato and Tamu Mototada learned that Hojo Clan Kang committed suicide and cried on the spot.
Tamu Mototada confessed to the Hojo clan that he secretly sent someone to tell Hojo Shiyasu about the current situation, and as a result, the news of Shiyasu's death came.
In this way, it can be seen that Hojo Shiyasu knew that this was a good opportunity, so he chose to commit suicide, so as not to worry about Hojo Shiyasu, so he ended his life.
Therefore, when Satomi Yoshiyao came to ask for an alliance again, the Hojo clan agreed to it.
With the addition of the Hojo clan, some of the countrymen who were dissatisfied with Uesugi Masato joined the anti-Uesugi camp, including Narita Nagayasu, the lord of Ninja Castle.
This person is too arrogant, their Narita family has been the official of the Uesugi family for generations, but they are unwilling to bow to Uesugi Masato, and as a result, they were beaten up by Uesugi Masahu on the street, which made Narita Narita very resentful of Uesugi Masato.
Ninja Castle is in Musashi Province, and in the north of Kawagoe Castle, Ninja Castle rebels, so it will be difficult for the Uesugi army to support Kawagoe Castle, and it can be said that the Musashi territory south of Ninja Castle will be occupied by the Hojo family.
In addition, the Izu Diet was cut off, and when the time came, Ichito was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and it was very likely that it would be captured again by the Hojo family.
As soon as the anti-Uesugi alliance was established, Yoshicho was discovered by Usami Dingmi, so the backstab of the anti-Uesugi alliance was not completed, and it was attacked by Uesugi Masatoka.
At that time, the coalition army had 25,000, and the anti-Uesugi coalition army was only 15,000, in addition to the numerical inferiority, it was also very hasty in terms of strategy and tactics, and the anti-Uesugi coalition army was quickly defeated and evacuated from the battlefield and fled all the way back to Kanto.
As for Uesugi Masato, he was also very helpless, he didn't even go into Gyeonggi, so he had to lead his troops back to Echigo, if it weren't for the fact that Yoshinaga forced and Miyoshi Chokei, he probably would have closed himself.
Now Uesugi Masato's situation is not very good, and some people led by Okuma Asahide are very dissatisfied with Uesugi Masato's actions.
Whether it was going south to Kanto to quell the rebellion, or west to Shangluo, they just worked in the past two years, but they didn't get enough rewards, although Uesugi Masato was the leader of the Kanto region, but they still dared to slap the table and scold.
Uesugi Masahu is a young man and an idealist, and he is a big critic of the big bear Asahide, and some retainers who feel that they have been insulted directly commit suicide in Kasuga Mountain Castle. Some of them returned to their cities in anger.
After Yoshicho read the information, he estimated in his heart that Hojo Phantom and Tamu Mototada would not let go of this opportunity, and this year or next year, there would be a rebellion in the Uesugi Masato's family.
When the time comes, coupled with the fact that the Furukawa Princesses are making waves in the Kanto, and the Hojo clan is adding fuel to the fire, the Kanto region will definitely be in turmoil, so Uesugi Masato's energy will have to be put on the Kanto.
In addition, it is the news that Iizuna Nobugen sent from Nijo Castle, Mibuchi Fujiei became the guardian of Yamashiro Country, Hosokawa Harumoto continued to serve as the leader, Miyoshi Nagakei is still the leader of the generation, and Rokkaku Yoshiken also wants to compete for a place as the royal companion.
At the same time, Yoshiyuki Arishiki and other members of the public wanted to compete for the position of the county secretary of Yamashiro Province, and in order to grab the fiefdom, there was already a lot of noise in the shogunate.
It's been almost seven days since Yoshicho left Gyeonggi, and there are still quarrels in the shogunate.
After reading the letter, Yichang sighed: "There is no one who is worry-free, go and grab it, all go and earn it, and when I combine the power of the seven realms into one, who is the opponent of my family?" ”
Seeing Yoshicho's smiling face, the Takenaka Hanbei couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, have you seen any good news?" ”
Yoshicho threw the letter on the table and said, "It's good news, but it's going to be chaotic for a while." ”
At this moment, Iwashita Dragon hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Lord, there is an urgent report!" Later from Echichi! ”
"Oh?" Yoshicho was shocked for a moment, and then smiled: "I knew that there was a rebellion in the Uesugi family, and the traitor was Okuma Ashide, right?" ”
Iwashita Dragon was stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression: "No... No. Lord, it's up to you to see for yourself. ”
Yoshicho looked at Iwashita's expression, and forcibly took the letter calmly, thinking in his heart that as long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
However, after reading the letter, he couldn't help but shake his hand, and the letter fell directly to the ground.
Then everyone nearby heard Yoshicho's exclamation.
"What! Zhenghu Gong is missing! Yoshicho exclaimed, "What the hell is going on? ”
Iwashita Ryu knelt on the ground and said: "It happened suddenly, this is the news that the family endured and got by accident, and now everything is business as usual in Echigo, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Uesugi has blocked the news." ”
Yoshicho was shocked in his heart, and frowned: "Damn, without the seat of the political tiger, this Hojo will resurrect!" What else happened to Echigo before the disappearance of Masatoko? ”
Iwashita Ryu paused, "All the big and small things that have happened recently in Echigo have been sent to you, my lord. ”
Yoshicho hurriedly picked up Echigo's information and quickly browsed it, but Yoshicho, who was in a hurry, didn't find anything.
He impatiently threw the information aside, stood up and walked around, he only felt that his emotions were about to get out of control.
It was July and August, and the weather was hot, and he couldn't calm down at all.
Yoshicho finally stopped, crouched down to the side of the Iwashita Dragon, and whispered, "Find! Let Izuura Kiyo-jong increase his efforts to find out, and send people to find out the news among those retainers who are interested in rebelling against Uesugi.
The anti-Uesugi alliance will also keep an eye on me, and as soon as they have any changes, they will immediately report it, and at the same time spread rumors that the family will lead 30,000 troops into the Kanto region! ”
Now it's not just Yoshinaga who is in turmoil, but Usami Dingmi, Kakizaki Keike and Naoe Keixuna are also anxious.
Fortunately, Gan Jingjing was old and serious, and immediately blocked the news after finding out that Uesugi Masahu was missing.
However, Usami's face was full of sorrow, he knew that no matter how he blocked the news, after a long time, he would always be known by others.
Kakizaki Keijia couldn't stand this sighing atmosphere, and said, "What should I do now?" The lord disappeared at this time, and the situation in Kanto was completely hopeless. ”
Naoe Jingzuna bowed his head and said: "It's not a problem in Kanto now, the family may be on the verge of extinction, and people in the family who are dissatisfied with the lord may rebel at any time." ”
Usami Dingman analyzed: "When the lord disappeared, there was no movement in the house at all, and with the lord's force, it would not be so quiet."
Kakizaki Tsuki's daughter said that the lord entered the Buddhist hall and never came out after that, but now he is missing, and I think that the lord has left by himself. ”
Kakizaki Keika looked surprised and said, "Why did the lord run away from home? ”
Naoe Jinggang seemed to think of something, and then said, "Could it be that they were angry with the big bears?" ”
Kakizaki Keijia suddenly said angrily: "Those bastards! actually judged himself in front of the lord, and said such vicious things! Damn the big bear! ”
