With the fall of Minamisaku-gun, there was basically no major change in the war here, although Takeda Harunobu suffered a little loss, but the big cylinder of the letter side was unsolvable, and he did not dare to act rashly.

Now he can only temporarily retire from the army and return to Suwa Prefecture to wait for news from Kansuke Yamamoto.

With the Takeda family retiring and dismissing the peasant soldiers, the letter side let his side remove the state of war, and count the losses, and at the same time spread the messenger, ordering the countrymen and wealthy families from all over the country to come to meet him immediately.

As the saying goes, if you don't speak properly, you don't have a good name, and you have to pay attention to a righteous name when doing things, and the letter side is now going to completely set the name and condense the North Shinano, the Middle Shinano and the East Shinano.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, especially since he, the guardian of Shinano, had a tie with Kai guardian Harunobu Takeda, compared to the time when he guarded Ogasawara Naga, such a record was enough to deter the surrounding area.

There is also the Renke family of Anyun County that was destroyed in an instant, and with this power, he set the righteousness of the lord of the people, and just destroyed those disobedient people.

This time, these countrymen not only visited, they had to pay tribute, they had to hand over hostages, especially the lord of the city who had a city of more than 3,000 stones, which was an indispensable condition.

To this end, the Shin side prepared two academies, one is the Samurai Pavilion, where all the male hostages learn the way of the samurai, and are brainwashed by the Shin side in disguise.

Only hostages who have graduated from the Samurai Pavilion can inherit the position of head of the family.

The hostages will enter the Sakura Pavilion and will be managed by Nobukata's main wife, Ogasawara Akizuki, and the side room's wife, Satomi Youzu.

There is a lot that they can learn, general housekeeping, and martial arts that samurai women will also learn.

Soon this order was secretly passed to Mori Castle and handed over to Sanada Yutaka.

Sanada Yutaka put it away after reading it, and now that Anyun County is basically calm, he just has the family members of the subordinates in his hands.

He left Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru and Higashino Nobukatsu behind, and left Mori Castle with Sanada Nobutsuna and a thousand troops.

He rushed to Tanohara Castle with his troops, where the Takeda family was on the defensive, and Sanada Yutaka only warned Tanohara Nagato Mamoru and Ota Nagato Mamoru not to relax in their respective castles.

Then he took Takanashi Masayori and they retreated to the Desert Castle in the more extreme counties.

In the castle's Ohiroma, Sanada Yutaka summoned all the wealthy families and countrymen who accompanied the army.

After everyone sat down, Sanada Yutaka said, "The fighting on the lord's side has stopped, and the Takeda family will withdraw after taking Minamisaku County."

Ladies and gentlemen, the family has already gained a firm foothold in most of Shinano, and by the time it comes next year, it will be able to integrate the various ministries and take the initiative.

Therefore, before you do it again, you must go to Katsura Castle to meet the lord, and offer tribute and hostages, and swear allegiance to the lord. ”

Everyone present frowned, Takanashi Masayori, who was close to Sanada Yutaka, was still thinking silently, while those on the periphery began to talk about each other.

Sanada Yutaka continued: "At the beginning, you didn't send hostages to the guardian family because the traitor Murakami family obstructed it, and now, the traitor Murakami Yoshikiyo is dead, you should have the appearance of a courtier!" ”

A small wealthy family boldly asked, "Sanada, does everyone have to hand over hostages?" ”

Sanada Yutaka smiled: "If you want more than 3,000 stones, don't be the city lords." ”

Takanashi Masayori has already seen the strength of Ogasawara Nobukata, and Ogasawara Nobukata is a guardian generation, even if he goes to ask Nagao Jinghu at that time, I am afraid that he will be turned away.

He hurriedly said: "Sanada, please rest assured, I will order someone to let the dog go to Katsumi Castle." ”

Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "The hostages sent to Katsura Castle will enter the Samurai Pavilion to study." The female hostages will be admitted to Sakura Pavilion to study. You don't need to worry about the safety of your relatives. ”

As soon as he heard about studying, Shimazu Tadanao asked, "Sanada, I don't know what learning is here?" ”

Sanada Yutaka replied, "Literacy, arithmetic, architecture, the art of war or military law, etc., and when I have free time, my lord will also go to teach." ”

Shimazu Tadanao was obviously stunned for a moment, except for literacy and algorithms, the rest of Sanada Yutaka said basically the secrets that are not passed on by each family, and every family is spread within the family, which has become the foundation of the family.

That's why at the end of the last century, and even in this century, the old people always talked about the juniors to learn a skill.

Moreover, the older generation's emphasis on learning is almost crazy, which is also a legacy of the times.

The main reason is that in the past, if you had a skill, you would have the foundation to survive and survive.

If your skills are far stronger than others, and you cherish your broom and only give it to your own family, then your family has a family heirloom.

Others can't learn if they want to, and many people do everything they can to learn something.

But when it comes to the Ogasawara art of war of the Ogasawara family, those little wealthy families are hot.

Many small wealthy families immediately expressed their willingness to send their children as hostages.

Sanada Yutaka said, "Any hostage who comes out of the samurai pavilion can inherit the head of the family when he returns to his family. ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people began to hesitate again, the risk is too great, after all, the children are handed over to you to teach, and you don't know what it will become.

Those who said it quickly regretted it, and those who didn't say it began to hesitate again.

Sanada Yutaka looked at the reaction and said, "Don't worry, the samurai who came out of the Samurai Pavilion must be the best samurai in the family."

The lord has high hopes for them, so he will be strict with them, train them, and make them the pillars of their own family. ”

The little wealthy people are not in a hurry, Ogasawara Nobukata doesn't look down on them, these people rebelled, and sent a team of Liudi horses to ride and shoot to solve it.

After listening to this, Takanashi Masayori knew what the consequences of refusal would be, so he did not hesitate to say: "Sanada Maki, don't worry, in the next sentence, Inuko will go to Katsutail Castle soon." ”

And Shimazu Tadashi said straightly: "I haven't married a wife in the next family, but I only have a sister, and when the time comes, I will take it to Katsumi Castle in the next one." ”

With their openings, the rest of the countrymen could not continue to be silent, and expressed their willingness to send hostages to Katsumi City.

Sanada Yutaka, who received an affirmative answer, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have all agreed, then let's go to Katsubi Castle with you."

It just so happens that the lord is waiting for you in Katsumi City to reward you for your meritorious deeds in this joint battle! ”

In this way, a group of people followed Sanada Yukitaka to Katsura Castle.

At this time, a major event occurred in Echigo, that is, Uesugi Kenmasa, the Kanto governor in Ueno, was forced to flee to Echigo due to the invasion of the Hojo family.

Nagao Keitora generously accepted Uesugi Kenmasa and respected it very much.

And Uesugi Kenmasa hoped that Nagao Keitora could send troops to attack the Hojo family, but Nagao Keitora did not refuse.

Uesugi Kenmasa was overjoyed, and in order to reward this loyal minister, he let him inherit the family name of Echigo Uesugi.

As a result, Nagao Jinghu changed his name to Uesugi Jinghu.
