Who would have thought that Yoshikiyo Murakami, one of Shinano's four great generals, would die at the hands of several farmers, and in one of the few defeats of Takeda Harunobu, he fought twice.

In the Koshin-Etsu area, Yoshikiyo Murakami is also a figure with a row, and even the way of death is unusual, such as the death of Akechi Mitsuhide, who shouted "enemy at Honnoji Temple", at the hands of a farmer.

Another example is the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the sea, Li Zicheng, the king of the peasant uprising, destroyed the Ming Kingdom, and finally died at the hands of the farmers, which is also a rumor.

But all in all, Murakami Yoshikiyo is also a name in history, and it is worth the trip, as long as Takeda Shingen is mentioned, there will be Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Ueda Nobukata had Murakami Yoshikiyo's head held high, and with the escaped Ashigaru running back, the news of the defeat of the Murakami family had spread throughout Nakashinano.

Katsura Castle and other cities all surrendered without a fight, and even if they wanted to fight, they had no soldiers or generals.

As for Yashiro Masakuni and Kiyono Nobuhide, they were also afraid of Ueda Nobukata's retaliation, and on the way back to the city, the army dispersed, and they all ran away to Chikumo-gun under the protection of a few diehards.

In just one day, the Naka-Cinno world changed color, and the banners of the Ueda family were erected in various cities.

Where did Nobukata Ueda take over so many cities by himself? Under these circumstances, Ueda Nobukata sent an envoy to persuade some of the former ministers of the Murakami family to surrender.

Keeping two-thirds of their territory and becoming a retainer of the Ueda family will be able to pass the past.

This is also a matter of no choice, Ueda Nobukata does not recruit these old ministers, and with his background, he cannot manage the land of the six counties.

In addition to the small county and Saku county, the Murakami family has Ueko-gun, a more advanced county, a lower water county, and a lower Takai county.

Even the Takanashi family, which was against Murakami, nominally belonged to Murakami's retainers.

In such a large area, even if Ueda Nobukata absorbs the former ministers of the Murakami family, it is very reluctant, and maybe a group of wild wealthy families will be born.

Now that his territory is more than 150,000 koku, he is already a medium-sized daimyō, but this still needs to be recognized by Ogasawara for a long time.

Ueda Nobukata decided to go out to meet Ogasawara Nagasaki himself.

He temporarily garrisoned Katsuo Castle and accepted the allegiance of the Muroga clan, Inoue clan, Ochiai clan, and other clans. Then he took these people and went north with them.

Ueda Nobukata took the group to Asahiyama Castle, and the movement here attracted the attention of Zenkoji Castle, and the Kurita family in Zenkoji Temple immediately delivered the news to Takanashi Masori.

While Takanashi Masayori was still wondering whose family had entered Asahiko Castle, a samurai who claimed to be an envoy of the Ueda family arrived.

Sanada Nobutsuna (Captain Genta Saemon) had changed his name, and because of his good performance in these wars, Ueda Nobutsuna continued to change his name to Nobutsuna, following Takeda Harunobu's example.

This time, he came as an envoy to meet Takanashi Masayori.

Takanashi Masayori saw the Liuwen Qian family tattoo on Sanada Nobutsuna and asked, "Are you from the Sanada family in Xiaoxian?" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna paused: "Hey, it's the eldest son of the Sanada family, Sanada Gentazaemon Captain Nobutsuna. ”

Takanashi Masayori was immediately confused, and continued to ask: "I remember that your Sanada family and the Murakami family are enemies, how did you come from the territory of the Murakami family?" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna replied: "Takanashi, the Murakami family no longer exists, and he has been destroyed by my father-in-law. ”

Takanashi Masayori remembered that the Sanada family had taken refuge in the Takeda family, and said angrily: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for the Takeda family?" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna shook his head and said, "No, Takanashi, the lord below is Ueda Nobukata." ”

"Nobukata Ueda?" Takanashi Masayori read the name for a while, and then remembered the fierce general on the battlefield a few years ago, he suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha, this guy Murakami Yoshikiyo was actually beaten by his retainers!" ”

He laughed exaggeratedly and happily, and he continued to laugh: "Oh, roar, roar... How did Murakami die in the end, and what was his expression before he died? It's definitely fun! ”

Sanada Nobutsuna frowned and said: "Takanashi, the lord under is not the next to the throne, but to obey the order of the guardian of the palace, and to crusade against the ministers in the righteousness.

Murakami Yoshikiyo not only colluded with the Takeda family, but even wanted to kill the envoys who guarded the temple, such a rebellious thing, Murakami was innocent. ”

Takanashi Masari put away his laughter, squinted at Sanada Nobutsuna, and said, "Oh? Is that so? ”

Sanada Nobutsuna nodded and said, "Of course, the lord sent me down to tell Takanashi that the reinforcements from the Nagao family are on their way, and the guardian hall will also follow." ”

Takanashi Masayori was silent for a moment and said, "I see, what does Ueda mean?" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna replied, "My lord's guild will wait until reinforcements appear, and go to meet with Takanashi. ”

Takanashi Masayori just nodded, and let Sanada Nobutsuna, who had finished speaking, leave.

At this time, he was a little uneasy, Murakami Yoshikiyo died, and a seemingly more powerful character came, and his Takanashi family became dangerous again.

He immediately summoned his retainers to discuss the future of the Takanashi family.

Soon, several retainers and a member of the Takanashi family arrived.

Takanashi Masayori's retainers Yamada Hida Mamoru and Yamada Saemon Lieutenant, Ichimen Kamitakai County Bitian Castle Lord Takanashi Toyomama, alias Yamada Toyomama, Kamitakai County Kouchi Castle Lord Takanashi Bomitsu, Kamitakai County Mayamayama Castle Lord Takanashi Morimitsu.

As soon as a few people sat down, Takanashi Masayori said, "Murakami Yoshikiyoshi is dead, killed by Ueda Nobukata." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people below were blinded, and suddenly their worst enemy, Murakami Yoshikiyo, died.

For a while, they didn't remember who Ueda Nobukata was, but kept immersed in the news that Murakami Yoshikiyoshi had died.

Takanashi Morimitsu frowned and said, "Murakami Yoshikiyo died at the hands of the Takeda family?" ”

Yamada Hida Mamoru said: "Definitely not, I remember this Ueda Nobukata, he was the one who almost conquered the gate of Zenkoji Castle in the first place, and he was a retainer of Murakami Yoshikiyo!" ”

Takanashi Masayori above: "Yes, Ueda Nobukata is a retainer of Murakami Yoshikiyo, but he went down and killed Murakami Yoshikiyo, and his envoy just came."

However, Murakami's death was caused by Murakami himself. This fool actually colluded with the Takeda family, and that Ueda killed him on the orders of the guardian of the temple.

Nominally, my Takanashi family is also a retainer of the village, and Ueda must have the intention of replacing Murakami, and according to his messenger, the reinforcements from Ogasawara Hall and Echigo are about to arrive in Kita-Shinano. ”

Takanashi Fangguang said very relaxedly: "Echigo's Nagaoden is also related to the family, as for the Ogasawara Palace, what is there to be afraid of, anyway, Murakami is dead, and it just so happens that we have no opponent." ”

Captain Yamada Saemon nodded and said, "What Fang Guangyu said is right, the family directly surrendered to the Nagao family, what can he do with Ueda Nobuka?" ”
