Chapter 965: Another Big Guy Hiding in Mutsu!

Jin Shang Shengbei is actually still very entangled in his heart.

On the one hand, his status in the Ashina family has indeed improved recently, and the Ashina Mori family seems to attach great importance to Jin Shang Shengbei and has repeatedly entrusted Jin Shang Shengbei with important tasks. But on the other hand, the hostility of the retainers of the Ashina family towards Kinami Moribi also continued to rise, especially the old ministers led by the Ashina clan and the Tomita family, who were naturally hostile to the young Zhuang faction like Kinami Moribei.

In general, Kim Mori's presence at home is very low.

Therefore, for the persuasion of Tsugawa Shengzong, Jin Shang Shengbei was also struggling in his heart. But at the same time, the conditions stated by Tsugawa Morimune were very attractive to Kinjo Moribei.

Of course, there is another reason that the forces of the Nagao family have already entered the war. The more than 1,000 peasant soldiers who were prepared in Tsugawa Castle with gold would definitely not be able to stop a force like the Nagao family, and even the Nagao family did not need to attack the city, but only needed to surround Tsugawa Castle with thousands of troops.

With the grain stored in Tsugawa Castle, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for even a month.

Kanejo didn't think that the battle between the Tsugawa family and the Ada-Ashina coalition would end in a month, and the battle of tens of thousands of people would not be called a joint battle if it didn't last half a year, and it was possible to fight it even for a few years.

Since Tsugawa Castle is going to fall sooner or later, it is better to surrender early and protect the family name and increase the territory at the same time, rather than seppuku after the fall and cause the family name to be destroyed, so why not?

Besides, Tsugawa Shengzong is now a member of the Tsugawa family, and he has no trouble intersecting with him, so if he takes refuge in the Tsugawa family, his life should still be very nourishing.

"Master, what you just said, but it's true?" After hesitating for a long time, Jin Shangsheng Bei asked a question that he wanted to laugh at when he heard it.

Tsugawa Morimune replied disapprehantly, "Naturally. The lord of the family has been given full authority to deal with this matter, as long as the Jin Shangdian can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then with the character of the lord of the family who is eager to seek talent, he will naturally entrust the Jin Shangdian with a heavy responsibility! ”

Jin Shangshengbei was moved, so he took Jinchuan Shengzong's hand and said sincerely, "Master, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie!" Now the unification of the Tsugawa family is the trend of the times, and it is the work of dogs and horses in Shimohara for the right guard general's hall! ”

"Please inform the Changwei Palace, when the troops of the Changwei family are in the city, they will welcome the city in the next place!"

Tsugawa Morimune nodded, "I will definitely deliver it next!"

......

In November of the 19th year of astronomy, the north wind howled and the cold wind was biting.

The Ashina family in Yonezawa Castle was dressed in a bucket and shivered at the head of the castle with a spear in his hand, even though there were several fires next to him to provide some warmth, but the heart of the Ashina family was cold.

This time, the enemy is the Tsugawa family, not the previous Date family. In the face of such a powerful name as the Tsugawa family, the Ashina family has no bottom in his heart. Nine times out of ten, the Ashina family was a peasant soldier and a soldier under his command, with poor combat effectiveness and poor equipment, and most importantly, morale was generally not high.

The Ashina family's ashigaru is still like this, not to mention the people who are even weaker than Tamura, Nikaido, etc.

It can be said that although there are tens of thousands of troops gathered in Yonezawa Castle, they are all a rabble. This is also the fundamental reason why the Ashina Sheng clan and others still dare not go out of the city to fight together, and fighting a war cannot be won just by having a large number of people.

The composition of the troops in Yonezawa Castle is intricate, there are national people, ronin, and peasant soldiers, and there are many people who are forced to be helpless with the tide, and this is the case with the Nihonmatsu family.

The Nihonmatsu family can actually be said to have a very high family character, because the Nihonmatsu family is the descendant of the Hatakeyama family!

Yes, it's not a joke at all, the Nihonmatsu family, who is like a salted fish in Oshu, is the descendant of the Hatakeyama family, one of the three leaders. The Kawachi Hatakeyama family and the Noto Hatakeyama family are just commoners, and the Nihonmatsu family is the highest in terms of family personality.

The Hatakeyama clan originally developed in Oshu, but was defeated by the Kira clan and collapsed, leaving only the territory of Nihonmatsu Castle in Anda County, which eventually evolved into the Nihonmatsu family. And the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi, who was born in Shuliu (that is, the Hatakeyama family where the Hatakeyama Takamasa in Shinnori is located, and the Suzuki family are all matched by him) rose strongly and gradually became well-known to the world, and the limelight directly overwhelmed the Yanliu.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Oshu governor Hatakeyama Takakuni and another Oshu governor, the Kira Sada, confronted each other in the Kanio Sao Rebellion, and the final defeat caused the Hatakeyama descendants to decline, and eventually became the same existence as the people of Nihonmatsu.

At the same time, the Kawachi Hatakeyama clan of the Shuliu clan made great contributions under the Ashikaga clan, and eventually became one of the three leaders of the Muromachi shogunate through the efforts of subsequent generations.

The Noto Hatakeyama clan was separated from the Hatakeyama clan in Kawachi.

At that time, the head of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi was the Hatakeyama Kikuni, and because they correctly sided in the events such as the Meitoku Rebellion and the Onei Rebellion, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family obtained the guardianship and domination of the four countries of Noto, Echichu, Kawachi, and Kii, and established the hegemony of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi.

After the death of Hatakeyama Kikuni, the heir Hatakeyama Mitsuya was abolished by order of the shogunate because he offended the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and was succeeded by the second son, Hatakeyama Mitsukei.

At this time, a "beautiful talk in the world" happened. After the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Hatakeyama Mitsukei actually asked the shogunate to abdicate the position of family governor to the deposed brother Hatakeyama Mitsuka, which was simply explosive news at the time.

In the end, the new shogun agreed to Hatakeyama Mitsukei's request, and Hatakeyama Kikuni, who had regained his position as the master, was also full of emotion, so he gave Hatakeyama Mitsukei Noto Ichikuni as a thank-you gift, and from then on, the Noto Hatakeyama family was separated.

The two families are so strong, and the most popular two Bensong families are a little unsatisfactory.

But in any case, the Nihonmatsu family does have something to be proud of, of course, not in terms of strength, because the Nihonmatsu family is just surviving in the gap between the Date family and the Ashina family. In other words, Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni wants to dance on the two eggs of the Date family and the Ashina family, and he can't step on either one......

The troops of the Nihonmatsu family were stationed at the branch castle of Tatekanyama Castle outside Yonezawa Castle, and this time the troops were led by the head Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni himself, with a total strength of 800 men. Stationed in Tateyama Castle with Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni were 500 people from Yoshitsuna Ouchi next door, as well as Harumitsu Ishikawa, the twenty-fourth head of the Ishikawa family, and Tamura Takaaki, the twenty-fourth head of the Tamura family.

At this time, Yoshikuni Nihonmatsu and others were discussing the situation in Yonezawa Castle.

However, the atmosphere in the castle tower of Tateyama Castle seems to be a little off, or a little too intense.

"Lord Ishikawa, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas! At the moment of the great enemy, we should work together to resist the strong enemy, and we must not mess up our positions and add to the laughter! Ouchi Yoshitsuna stood between two angry samurai at this time, constantly calming the emotions of the two.

The slightly shorter Ishikawa Harumitsu didn't pay attention to Ouchi Yoshitsuna's persuasion at all, "Tamura Takaaki, don't think that this family is really afraid of you!" If it weren't for the Ashina family on the side, would your Tamura family be the opponent of my Ishikawa family? ”

As soon as he heard this, Tamura Takaxian, who was no longer aggressive, instantly turned his face again, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to come up to let Ishikawa Harimitsu see his fist as big as a casserole......
