Chapter 125: The Nasu Clan
The Nasu clan, rising during the period of the Genpei hegemony, its ancestors Nasu and Ichi followed the Gen Yoshijing to fight in the south and the north, the most famous is the battle of Yashima in the "Tale of the Taira Family", when the two armies confronted each other across the river, a small boat went down the river, and a beautiful girl leaned out of the cabin with a fan, just when the Genji army was surprised by the beauty of the other party, the source Yoshitsune did not know for what considerations, and ordered to shoot off the fan in the opponent's hand, Nasu and a bow took an arrow, and an arrow hit the girl's fan handle, but it did not hurt the girl at all, He was immediately revered as the god of the bow by the Genji army. After the war, Yoichi Nasu received a reward from the territory, thus establishing the supremacy of the Nasu family in Shimono Province.
However, the Nasu family has always had a family tradition of fighting in the nest, although it is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but it is not easy to take the fighting in the nest as a family characteristic. From Nasu Zizhi and his younger brother Sawamura Shishige tore each other apart, and as a result, one was torn out of the upper Nasu family, and one was the lower Nasu family, and soon, the upper Nasu family was destroyed by the Otawara clan, and the lower Nasu family still divided and continued to tear apart. Later, for the sake of inheritance, the Utsunomiya family and the Satake family were simply involved, and it almost led to a great Kanto fight. By the time Tsukahara Molong swept through the Kanto region, the former overlord had already weakened, not to mention facing the four major armies that were sharp, even on weekdays, they could only survive in the cracks of the Utsunomiya family, the Satake family and the Ota family.
But when the Nasu family faced Tsukahara Molong's crusade army, there was a rather fierce quarrel inside, and many important ministers did not want to surrender Tsukahara Molong, after all, from the consistent style of Tsukahara Molong, even if it was not pursued for the sake of voluntary surrender, but if it was really only according to his nominal Shi Gao to give income, and not to meddle in the specific affairs of the territory, it would really be a fate, and the family's income would be reduced by more than half in an instant, and what was even more terrifying was that there was no opportunity to make small moves, If you can't meddle in specific affairs, you can't take a draw from it! You know, the Nasu family is located in the northeast of Shimono Province, guarding the main transportation route between Kanto and Mutsu, and the commercial taxes are very rich! Although the contemporary governor Nasu Gaozi is 75 years old, he also has family inheritance problems on the issue of heirs, and he himself is interested in Nasu Ziyin, the child he watched grow up, but the concubine Nasu Hanpeitai showed extraordinary talent, so he had to drive Nasu Hanpeitai away. However, as far as he knew, instead of rolling far away, Nasu Hanheita served as a general under Tsukahara MoryΕ«, and was in charge of the training of the iron artillery team. Thinking of the roar of thousands of iron cannons under Shomon Mountain, and the countless brave and skilled Kwantung samurai who didn't even see the appearance of their opponents clearly, Nasu Takashi didn't even dare to think about Nasu's current position in Tsukahara Molong's heart. If it is really returned to Tsukahara Molong, then the position of Su Ziyin's family governor may not be kept...... No, I'm afraid even my life ...... As soon as he thought of this, Nasu was reluctant to surrender.
Since most of the important ministers and household governors do not want to surrender, how can they protect themselves in front of Tsukahara Moryu? Everyone thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was good to find a big tree to enjoy the shade, and the Ashina family in Aizu became the most suitable thigh recently. It's not that the Mutsu overlord Date is not good, but the distance is too far, and the Mutsu country is generally vast and sparsely populated, if it really angers Tsukahara Moryu, I'm afraid that when the Date family sends reinforcements, it may not even be able to catch up with the corpses of himself and others.
Just when the Nasu family was uneasy, the army led by Sasaki Nagahide had approached the territory of the Nasu family, and from afar, you could feel the earth-shattering aura on his body, in the process of attacking the city, Sasaki Nagahide's army was recognized as the most tenacious and bloody legion in battle, and it slaughtered the city at every turn, causing the people of Changlu and Shimono to panic, for fear that when the butcher knife would be waved on their heads. And Sasaki Nagahide himself doesn't have a good impression of the Nasu family, and he doesn't have a bad impression, in the final analysis, the Nasu family did not participate in the battle of Shomonyama, and the Nasu family, which has always been not bordering the Tsukahara family, has no need to exterminate the Sasaki Nagahide, who has clear grievances, and the Nasu clan is famous for its archery skills, and there has always been a very strong bow team, all equipped with heavy rattan bows, if it can be recruited, it is not a big help. As for the position of Nasu Hanheita in the Nasu family, Sasaki Nagahide thinks that it is not what he needs to care about, but it is not appropriate to directly send Nasu Hanheita as an envoy, although the ** silk counterattack looks very relieved, but it is not conducive to the return of the Nasu family. Sasaki Nagahide did not lead his army directly into the territory of the Nasu family, but sent an envoy to demand that the Nasu family become a subordinate force of the Tsukahara family.
However, what made Sasaki Nagahide's sword eyebrows frown slightly was that the envoy went out in a good manner, but when he came back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was a faint smell of wine on his body, "What's the matter with the injury on your face?" β
The messenger hurriedly knelt on the ground, and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped again, as if there was something unspeakable, and at this moment, even Nasu Hanheita couldn't look at it, but he still controlled his emotions and asked: "If you have anything to say, do you still want to deceive Lord Sasaki?" β
The envoy stammered and said: "The Nasu family set up a banquet to entertain the little one, but the little one always felt that the Nasu family was a little wrong" Saying, the envoy also secretly glanced at Nasu Hanheita and saw that the other party had no mood fluctuations, so he continued: "So I took the opportunity of Gong to go to inquire about the information, but found that the Nasu family planned to belong to the Ashina family to avoid the edge of the family." However, he was almost found, so he fell from the roof and was injured. β
"Subordinate to the Ashina family?" Sasaki Nagahide's expression became colder, and Sen Ran smiled: "It seems that we are underestimated, I have long heard that the Nasu clan has a long history, and there has been no big war for a while, so I think we have hoarded a lot of grain and grass, which can just solve our urgent needs." What do you think? β
Nasu Hanpei Tai showed a look of struggle, he was indeed very dissatisfied with the family, but now that Sasaki Nagahide had the intention of completely exterminating the Nasu family, he couldn't stand by and watch, not to mention, the Nasu family chose the Ashina family instead of the Tsukahara family, which has touched the bottom line of the Tsukahara family, and this matter can't be good at all. After a lot of thoughts, Nasu Hanheita knelt on the ground: "Lord Sasaki, please let me try it." β
As soon as the words fell, Nasu Hanheita felt a chill on his neck, and Sasaki Nagahide's flame spear was on his neck on the sixth day, only to see him say in a cold tone: "If you want to die, I can fulfill you now." β
"I ......"
"The Nasu family is unwilling to surrender because of your existence! As long as you die, the Nasu family will not have much burden, but I can tell you very clearly, as long as the Nasu family dares to touch the whole family, I will destroy the Nasu family! Sasaki Nagahide said indifferently, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, but the killing intent between the lines was undisguised. Because, there is a family that gave birth to him and raised him, even if he is excluded and suppressed, it is his family and his roots.
