Chapter 184: The Color Department is resealed

When Katsucho Sebe learned that he was about to be transferred to the area of Shimizu Castle in Mogami County, he did not object. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info after all, the Hirabayashi Castle, Joseki Castle, Arakawakan, Takada Pavilion and other places under the color department only add up to about 28,000 stones. The total stone height of Shimizu Castle, Kumanokan, Nagasawakan, Numata Castle, Marshawakan, and Shinjo Castle, which is about to be resealed, is 48,000 stones. Not only that, but there were many small wealthy families who originally belonged to the Shimizu family, such as the Akiho family and the Kadokawa family, who temporarily surrendered in order to preserve their strength. If they are exterminated one after another, then Sebe Katsucho will be able to gain no less than 10,000 stone of territory.

Soon, Katsucho Sebe took his younger brother Se Minister and his son Sebe Hidenaga, Seki Minister Minoru and his retainers Mitsugu Nagamasa, Naito Saemon, and Arakawa Yajiro (the lord of the Arakawakan in Iwasune County, Echigo Province) and others from the old leader. They didn't go to the new territory alone, they also brought more than 500 samurai and standing ashigaru people into Shimizu City and other places. This made the remnants of the Qing Shui family not dare to act rashly for a while.

However, everyone didn't expect one thing - the son of Shimizu Yoshitaka is still alive. At that time, Kaji Harutsuna, Sebe Katsunaga and others quickly captured Shimizu Castle with more than 10,000 troops, but the son of Shimizu Yoshitaka was by Mogami Yoshimitsu's side, which allowed him to escape. Even though the important retainers of the Shimizu family, such as Kido Shubei (the old man of the Bitou family), Hino Sakyo Ryo and Nagasawa Shomono, were killed in battle, people like Shimamoru Aibei (the younger brother of Kido Shu's defense), Kadokawa Yojiro, Akiho Hinata Mamoru and others still existed and had the ability to stop in the name of surrender.

However, due to the existence of the lords in the supreme domain who continued to hold the castle and surrendered without opening the castle, the court could only make some corrections to his original plan. At present, it is impossible to transfer a large number of Yangbei lords in a short period of time, and it is feasible to only transfer some lords. At present, there are only three companies that can be transferred: Colorbe, Okawa, and Takemata.

And the Mogami family also inherited the governor and head of the Mogami family after the seppuku of Mogami Yoshimori. However, the court only allowed the Mogami family to keep the land of Yamagata Castle and the surrounding land for a total of 15,000 koku. It can be said that this penalty is considerable. As the most senior family who has served as the envoy of the feather according to the inspection, the feather exploration problem, and the deyu guard, this is undoubtedly the loudest slap in the face to the most upper.

In fact, some important ministers of the Mogami family still agreed to this punishment. Led by the old family Dingzhi, they thought that instead of fighting with the Uesugi family, it was better to accept this punishment first, and then get back the old collar after currying favor with the Uesugi family in the future. Mogami Yoshimitsu himself's opinion also coincides with the opinion of the clan Dingzhi and others. Because even if the current Mogami family has the support of all the wealthy families in Nanideba, it is impossible to compete with the Uesugi family, and it is better for Taoguang to accumulate strength. As long as there is a chance, I can restore the former glory of the best family.

Yoshimitsu Mogami's ideals are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The members of the Mogami family, the relatives of the clan, and the branch of the clan were all attacked by the Uesugi army or the Nanide Yuhao clan. In particular, Kamiyama, Satomi, Nakano, and Shimizu were all destroyed one after another. And the branch towns around Yamagata Castle were cleared. This means that once the Mogami family wants to make a small move, then the Uesugi family can completely cut off all contact with the outside world, even pedestrians, caravans, etc. At that time, Yamagata Castle will be completely besieged and will not be able to break through the encirclement in a short time.

If the two prefectures of Dewa and Mutsu could not be pacified and powerful retainers or countrymen lords could be sent to garrison them, the countrymen and local daimyo of these two countries would sooner or later invade Echigo and Aizu. Qianxin has tasted such hardships before, and sometimes it is not only a two-front battle, but at most a three-front battle······

A well-known German history professor once said: "War is not only a practical necessity, but also a theoretical necessity and a logical requirement." The concept of the state implies the concept of war, because the essence of nation-building is hope. This will cause the atrophy of many of the basic and noble powers of the human soul······ The people of a country who cling to the illusion of permanent peace are bound to perish, incorrigibly perishable by decay in transcendent isolation. ”

Then turn your attention to Vietnam.

Originally, the Kaga monk Sugiura Genren gathered more than 10,000 momentum, preparing to turn the Tonami and Shemizu counties in Echichu into a "country of the people" like Kaga Province. It's just that Kakizaki Keijia, Usami Dingman and others led more than 1,000 horseback samurai to enter Echichu first, and merged with more than 1,000 people from Kojima Sadakobu. Coupled with the rapid build-up of Vietnamese Chinese lords such as Tu Fei Zhengxin, Tang Ren Qinguang, and Kojima Zhizhen, the Uesugi army of Vietnamese and Chinese fought against tens of thousands of troops at Muzhou City, an important town on the border between Vietnam and China. On 20 August, Okuma Ashide, Usami Katsuyuki, and Masashiro Dohi also led more than 7,000 troops to enter Moriyama Castle northeast of Mushu Castle.

With the arrival of a large number of Uesugi troops, Sugiura Genren's heart gradually lost its heart. At the beginning, the first wave had a numerical advantage, but the only ones who really had combat effectiveness in this batch of one wave were the five hundred monks brought by Sugiura Xuanren. When the news of more than 7,000 Uesugi troops stationed in Shoushan Castle reached the ears of Sugiura Xuanren, the idea of withdrawing troops instantly germinated in his heart.

However, Usami felt that this was a great opportunity. Once this tens of thousands of forces are defeated in Echichu and can win the head of its general Sugiura Genren, then Kaga's Pure Land Shinshu will not dare to easily set foot on the land of Echichu again in the future. This will also help you with your future strategy for Noto. Immediately, Usami Joman expressed his opinion to Kakizaki Keijia.

"Kakizaki Izumi, as long as this battle kills the thief leader Sugiura Genren, then the Pure Land True Sect will not dare to set foot in the land of Yuezhong. When the time comes, it will be easy to take down and be able to enter a country. Usami Dingman stroked his gray beard and said.

"Suruga Mori doesn't know your purpose? The Beijing Duke can replace you as the guardian of Nengdeng, and when you sit firmly in the position of Nengden Guardian, what about below? Kakizaki Keijia saw at a glance Usami Dingman's little ninety-nine.

"Hahaha······" Usami Dingman laughed for a while and then said, "It seems that it really can't hide the old guy who has worked together for so many years. However, both the Imperial Palace and the town government want to take Noto first instead of Kaga, and you should know why. But how about the old man assure you that after Notomine is pacified, the old man will lead his army south from Haza County to pacify the northern part of Kaga? ”

"That's it, so many years of cooperation, only you have been taking more benefits. If it weren't for the martial arts that Jing Gong has always taken a fancy to, I'm afraid he would still be a nobody. Kakizaki Keike smiled bitterly.

"I can't say that, you and I are both the landowners and genealogs of the Echigo Uesugi family, and now it is our duty to work for the Uesugi family. How many times do you have a chance to kill the enemy in normal times? If it weren't for the town's special suggestion to the Imperial Palace, I'm afraid you would still be farming in Kakizaki Township! "Usami was full of 'kindness' and reminded the Kakizaki Keijia.

"The town government has never been stingy with rewards, if he is not after Ogiya Uesugi but after Echigo Uesugi, then I will always be loyal and never betray." Kakizaki Keijia first recalled his 'black history' in the past, and then gave his heart-wrenching words to Usami Dingman.

"Hequan Shou, only you and I know this, the eldest son of the old man is serving under the command of the town government." Usami Dingman first looked around, for fear that someone else would be present.

"Understood, then let's go and prepare to go out! This battle must take down the head of Sugiura Genren, the bald donkey! Kakizaki Keiya then took his own pocket and sword and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.

"Kakizaki Izumi, the old man can cooperate with you a few times, and the next road is probably up to you." Usami smiled bitterly, he was well aware of his physical condition. After all, it is already in the age of antiquity, and it is not clear how many years I can live. Usami Dingman now only hopes that he can make more contributions and help the Kakizaki Keizai family, even if Kenshin and Asadachi want to 'cut the domain', they can let the Kakizaki Keimi family help their sons.
