After the end of the war, Ueda Nobukata began to clean up the battlefield, and the castle defense drawings sent to Takeda's house were also recovered. City defense blueprints are still very important.

Of course, some of the facilities will leak out, but it's better than being copied entirely.

The mountain castle is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the renovated defense system of Ueda Nobukata, it is even more difficult to fight.

With the background of the Takeda family, they built several such fortified castles in Shinano, and Ueda Nobukata estimated that he was a lamb to the slaughter, and he would always have to hide under the protection of Nagao Jinghu.

Even the Ming army in the Wanli period, when dealing with the Japanese army that went to the peninsula for the second time, the Ming army, which had a lot of artillery, was defeated more than won when attacking the Japanese army that held the mountain city.

Like Ueda Nobukata, neither the army nor the weapons can be compared with the Ming army, if you really let Takeda Harunobu play the castle building stream, sooner or later he will be consumed to death.

In other words, the 6,000-strong army was defeated overnight, and Ueda Nobukata's side failed to completely annihilate this army, after all, it was dark night, and the defeat was like a mountain.

As for the captured ashigaru, it was recognized by the surrendered Aiki Masato, who knew it well, and took it away directly, as for the remaining samurai ashigaru in Minamisaku County, such as Kai and Kurosawa, they were miserable, and they were all used as slaves, either sold or worked as coolies.

The sale of slaves doesn't need to worry about Ueda Nobukata, just leave it to Tennoji House to do business.

Ueda Nobukata only accepted one Soki Masato, and as for most of the wealthy clans in Minamisaku-gun, they were killed, what did he want so many local wealthy clans to do, and these people could surrender to the Takeda clan at any time.

Ueda Nobukata just needed to divide the Zhixing land for his subordinates, so he immediately decided to divide it to Minamisaku-gun.

Because of the big victory, Ueda Nobukata was very excited, he was very energetic, and he walked up and down with people, shouting and asking for warmth everywhere.

Sanada then invited him back to the castle tower.

In the castle tower, Sanada Yukitaka asked Ueda Nobukata, "My lord, I don't know what to do with Oyamada Nobuyuma, Iitomi Toramasa and others?" Many people wanted to be put to death. ”

During the banquet, many Sakushi stared at Ueda Nobukata with longing eyes.

And Ueda Nobukata Yoshimasa said: "Ladies and gentlemen, killing prisoners is not what a samurai should do, and we will only kill the enemy on the battlefield.

If you kill an unarmed captive in order to vent your personal anger, what difference will it be with the Takeda family? Do you become a beast without martial virtue in other people's mouths? ”

In the face of Ueda Nobukata's questioning, the Saku, led by Kamizu Kenrashi, lowered their heads in shame.

Ueda Nobukata continued, "Now that we have defeated the Takeda family in Maeyama Castle, we will not stop there, we will also attack Suwa, and we will take back all the Takeda family territories in Shinano!"

The world of Shinano is guarded by our Shinano samurai! ”

Shenzu Xianliang said excitedly: "What Ueda Hall said is too right, I think it is true in the depths, Ueda Hall has such a lofty ideal, how can it be done alone, please let me serve in the left and right!" ”

Regardless of Kamizu's intentions, Ueda Nobukata is still very optimistic about this more loyal Saku-gun man.

Ueda Nobukata smiled at Kamizu Kenrashi and said, "Good! Xianliang, join me in making this wish come true! ”

"Ha~ha!" Shenjin Xianliang bowed down and said, "My lord, the minister must do his best!" ”

After the completion of Kamizu's confession, Ueda Nobukata asked Sanada Yutaka, "How?" Is the record of military exploits in this battle finished? ”

Sanada Yutaka took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the front, and the small surname Tokujiro, that is, Sanada Yukitaka's second son, came to pick up the letter and handed it to Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata took a closer look, and then said with a smile: "This time, your contributions are not small, and I can't be stingy."

Kotaka, over there in Sanada Township, I will negotiate with the lord, and try to help you go back to Sanada Township when the time comes. ”

When Sanada Yutaka, Kawara Takamasa and others heard this, their expressions were very excited, as long as Sanada Yutaka got Sanada Township, the Umino family would be revived.

Sanada Yutaka immediately bowed down and said: "The minister is very grateful to the lord for the generous reward, but the minister's merit this time is not enough to get the territory of thousands of stones, and I ask the lord to take it back." ”

Takamasa Kawara heard Sanada Yukitaka's excuse, and remembered that he was going to pounce in front of Sanada Yutaka and point his nose and scold.

Fortunately, Ueda Nobukata said: "Eh, you can't say that, if it weren't for you this time, how could the enemy army take the bait so quickly, Sanada Township was promised by me earlier, since the counterattack on Saku-gun, you have been exhausted, so don't shirk." ”

Sanada Yutaka was also very moved when he heard this, and said a little choked: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled at Sanada Kotaka, and then said to Yazaki Heizou: "Heizou, you did a good job this time, this time I will reward you with five hundred stone Zhixing, I hope you will continue to work hard." ”

Yazaki Heizou hurriedly thanked him, his face was full of smiles, he didn't care why Sanada Yutaka was a reward of several thousand stones, and he only had five hundred stones.

Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Don't be too happy, wait for me and the lord to finalize the territory in Saku-gun, let you go to be a castle generation, don't mess up." ”

Yazaki Heizou was immediately dumbfounded, the castle generation, maybe he can be a city lord in the future, there is no one in the Yazaki family who is the city lord, and the city lord will appear from his generation, and his father-in-law will definitely be able to rest in peace in the spirit of the sky.

He hurriedly bowed down and said, "My subordinates are very grateful for the reward of the Lord's Land!" Much appreciated! ”

Ueda Nobukata waved his hand and continued to talk about the rewards of others, although Ueda Nobukata has not yet determined how many 10,000 koku know how to go, but there are nearly 10,000 koku that have been dispersed.

The fewest samurai also have a Zhixing land of fifty koku, and the most is Sanada Township in Sanada Yutaka.

Ueda Nobukata also has no choice, if he doesn't make a generous reward, it will be difficult to subdue the hearts of these subordinates, and make them into a new wealthy family, so that they will have less attachment to the master who has perished before, and instead come to be loyal to him.

After the reward, a group of retainers were all smiling, and Ueda Nobukata said: "Everyone, now is not the time to relax, now immediately march to recover the entire territory of Saku-gun!" ”

Now that Ueda Nobukata is only cowering in Maeyama Castle, now that he has defeated the invading Takeda army, it is time to send troops to occupy the abandoned castle of Kita-Saku-gun, as well as the area that has not yet been captured in Minami-Saku-gun.

Ueda Nobukata is still saddled with foreign debts, and it is just in time to loot the castles of Minamisaku-gun and collect money from the wealthy families who have died in battle to make up for some of the foreign debts.

After resting for the night, the army attacked in all directions the next day, and the rumored news of the defeat of the Takeda army was confirmed by the Ueda army's attack in all directions.

Many wealthy clans who hibernated and waited quickly rose up to raise troops, either to fall into the trap of the Takeda family, or to take advantage of the situation for themselves, but there was only one result for the Ueda army, and that was submission.

Three watches in the evening, and two more at two o'clock in the afternoon during the day.
