On the second floor of the castle tower of Uozu Castle, two people are standing at the window looking at the bamboo finch flag, the turnip flag, the Marunai cage pattern flag (the Great Kuma's family pattern), and the three-bottle pattern flag erected everywhere outside the castle.

"Usami Suruga is full of wisdom and resourcefulness, and this person is clear about the big and small things in Echigo, and even the movements of the northern people. In addition, the Kakizaki and Izumi Mori family of 'no one in the seven counties of Echigo'. The failure of the next army seemed doomed. "Shiina Keinao no longer has the confidence to swear to Nagao Keibo before, and he can't hold back the Uesugi army of Echichu.

Moreover, Shiina Keinao knew very well in his heart that it was only a matter of time before the Uesugi army in Echichu annihilated them. He had just learned of the loss of Matsukura Castle and Matsukura Kanayama Castle. Even his adoptive father, Yasuyin Shiina, and his brother-in-law, Shiina Shigeyin, were both killed in battle in Matsukura Castle.

"Shiina Hall, Matsukura Castle and Matsukura Kanayama Castle were lost one after another. Even the defenders of Uozu Castle were less than 2,000 left. If the Uesugi army launches a general attack, it will be difficult for us to support their attack. "Jimbo Masaotake, who managed to escape from Matsukura Castle, is even more wearing, and his carcass is covered in blood. Eba Mikawa, who entered the garrison of Matsukura Castle with him, did not have the same good luck as him, and when the Uesugi army stormed Matsukura Castle, he was taken by the Uesugi Nagashi Tsunemi brothers in the castle, and he escaped from the castle in time to put on the armor of Ashigaru and entered Uozu Castle in the gap between the siege of the Uesugi army.

"Once, the two families of the Viet-Chinese Shenbao family and the Shiina family were originally feuds, and both served as the guardians of Viet China. However, to this day, the Shiina family is about to break off the family name, and it is only a few years longer than the Jimbo family・・・・・・" Shiina Jingzhi was not only full of emotion when he thought of this. Although he is a member of the Fuchu Nagao family, but since he passed to Shiina Yasuyin as an adopted son, he is no longer a member of the Fuchu Nagao family, but the young master of the Echichu Shiina family. If he had insisted on becoming the adopted son of Nagao Kei, the governor of the Shimoda Nagao family, he would not have what he is today.

"Your Highness, Ling Zun Jingjiu Hall and Ling Brother Jingmei Hall were both killed in Naomine Castle, but you and Nagao Keibo became allies, it's really incomprehensible・・・・・・" Jimbo Masatake on the side didn't understand why Shiina Keichi still insisted on fighting against the Uesugi family after learning that his father and brother were both killed in Naomine Castle. After saying this, Jimbo Masatake left the castle tower, and he still needed to inspect the city's defenses and take a rest.

On June 1 of the first year of Eiroku, Shiina Keinao officially succeeded the Shiina family governor in Uozu Castle, and abandoned the character 'Kei' in the Fuchu Nagao family, and changed his name to Shiina Uemon Daifu (Shiina family's past family governors) Naoyin. After Naoyin Shiina succeeded to the castle, he sent Masatake Jimbo as an envoy into the main camp of the Uesugi army, and informed Kakizaki Keiie, Usami Dingmi, Okuma Asahide and others that he had become the governor of the Shiina family. He also informed them that he planned to fight the Uesugi army to the death and never surrender.

"Koshiro wants to live and die with the Shiina family, and now he has drawn a line with the Uesugi family. His father and brother were both killed in battle by Lord Miyayuki, but he discredited the Naomine Nagao family・・・・・・ "The Kakizaki Keike family can only feel sorry for what Shiina Naoyin did.

"If the castle is broken, let's order the samurai and ashigaru to capture them alive as much as possible. The Naomine Long Tail family still needs to stay behind・・・・・・" The big bear Chaoxiu on the side shook his head and said.

On the morning of the same day, the Uesugi army launched a simultaneous onslaught from the south and north of Uozu Castle. A large number of fire bolts were fired into the castle from outside the castle, igniting many of the array houses and longhouses in Ninomaru of Uozu Castle. The first group of Uesugi troops besieging the castle quickly filled up the mizubori under the cover of an iron artillery team composed of 100 iron cannon ashigaru and a large number of bows, and all the arrows in Ninomaru were quickly ignited by a large number of fire arrows and lost their defensive function.

"Tell Your Highness, Lord Shenbao Zhengwu died in battle!"

"Tell Your Highness, Lord Inami Shigeru Zhou died in battle!"

"Tell Your Highness, Lord Terasaki Minbu Saemon died in battle!"

・・・・・・

As one after another envoys entered the Ohiroma and reported to Shiina Naoyin, who was sitting on the horse, that one after another important ministers of the Shiina family and the people of the country who had entered the city to assist in the defense had been taken by the Uesugi army, Shiina Naoyin's face gradually turned pale. Since he has chosen the path of raising troops to rebel, then he has no turning back from his bow, and he cannot turn back. He only hopes that Kenshin will not forget the Naomine Nagao family, if someone can inherit the family name of the Naomine Nao family, he will die without regrets and will not be extravagant.

"Tell you, Ninomaru has been completely occupied!" Usa Mikatsu walked in front of Kakizaki Keiya, Usami Dingmi, Okuma Asahide and others and told them the good news.

"Mamoru Suruga, it's always a pleasure to work with you every time. Hahaha! Kakizaki Keijia couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

"Once the rebellion of Echichi is suppressed by us, then one of the arms of the long-tail Jingfang of Echigo and Zhongyue will be cut off by us. The pressure on the Echigo generals will be relieved. Usami Dingman is not as optimistic as everyone around him, he still has a straight face.

"If Lord Miya hadn't transferred to this Yuezhong, then with the long-tail view house, he would have been in a different place a long time ago! Can he still make big waves like he is now? "Kakizaki Jingjia has served two people in this life. One is Usami Dingmi, and the other is the current Kenshin Uesugi. He didn't accept any of the others, even when Nagao was reincarnated, he repeatedly raised troops to resist Nagao Keijing, and he couldn't defeat the Kakizaki Kei.

"It's okay, the current situation is not too bad. Izumi Mamoru only needs to send your retainers back to Kakizaki Castle, Saruge Castle, Kinosaki and other places in the old domain, and initiate a fight. It can support the Echigo-Kamietsu region, and it also echoes with Arakawa Izu Mamoru who is entrenched in Kasuga Mountain Castle. "Usami Dingmitsu doesn't think that the current situation is too bad, since Asada is dragged in Kanto and can't move to send a large number of reinforcements into Echigo, then the task of saving himself is taken over by the Uesugi retainers of Echichu.

"However, the Takeda army has gathered nearly 20,000 troops in Kawanakajima and other places, I am afraid that even if we lead 10,000 troops into Echigo to support, we will have to leave a part of our troops in the old leader of the Yamamoto temple hall, Fudo Yamajo, otherwise once the Takeda army divides our troops, we will be attacked on our backs!" Okuma Asahide was a little worried about the movements of the Takeda Army on Kawanaka Island, and even if Takeda Shingen did not send a special force to attack their backs, then he could take the opportunity to attack all parts of Etsuchu, which did not have many troops to defend.

"This old man had already expected it. Nagashige, a retainer of Yamamoto Temple, was serving as the castle representative of Fudo Yamajo Castle and did not go to Kanto with Yamamoto Temple. We only need to leave more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses must quickly pass through the streets of Hokuriku and merge with Yataro Kojima in Falling Water City. You must know that the rebels in Echigo and Shangyue will be pacified as soon as possible, then Takeda Shingen will not dare to act rashly. "Usami is full of confidence, and he has also calculated that Takeda Shingen's time to build a new city in Kaizu will not be too short. As long as the Yamaura lord Mizumasa and others in the Echigo-Kamietsu (Fuchu) region are defeated during this time, then the momentum of the Takeda army's invasion of Echigo can be contained.

In just two days, 10,000 Uesugi troops broke through the Honmaru of Uozu Castle. Shiina Naoyin and his small surname, wife and concubine are all in the living room. He left a letter hoping that Kenshin would not let the Naomine Nagao family cut off the family name.

When Kakizaki Keiie, Usami Dingmi, Okuma Asahide, Tsuchihi Masashige and others entered the Honmaru in Uozu Castle, and couldn't help but feel sad for Shiina Naoyin after looking at the dead bodies everywhere in the Honmaru. If he hadn't rebelled, then there wouldn't have been so many people from the Uesugi family and the Shiina family who had paid unnecessary lives.

Thankfully, the rebellion of Vietnam and China was crushed. And the neighboring country of Noto is still in the midst of civil strife and does not pose a threat to Vietnam. The Pure Land Shinshu in Kaga also suffered a blow after the Great War of Huachuan, and was unable to penetrate and develop its influence in Vietnam, but it still had its eye on Vietnam.

Before leaving the battle, the Kakizaki Keike followed the advice of Usami Sesamitsu and killed the former retainers of the Jimbo family, Guayu Yuru, Ninomiya Nagatsune (the lord of Kamikumano Castle), Kojima Kunitsuna (the lord of Daido Castle), and Terashima Shengtoku (the younger brother of Kojima Kunitsuna, the lord of Takiyama Castle) and others. And even their retainers were all executed without exception.

However, this move is also to prevent these unstable factors from raising troops to rebel and make their rear unstable when they go out to Echigo. It can also make a lot of land in Vietnam vacant, and maybe more Echigo people can be transferred to operate here in the future.

Soon, Kakizaki Keijia did not make a stop. He left his second son, Kakizaki Haru, at Masuyama Castle; The clan brother Kakizaki Yasuya stayed in the highland Suwa Castle; Ueno Kubei, a retainer of the Kakizaki family, stayed behind to guard Uozu Castle and clean up the dead bodies inside and outside the castle. Like Nagasawa Mitsukoku, Tang Renjin Guang, and Tohi Masanobu, the three of them stayed in Yuezhong and waited for the dispatch of his famous Kakizaki Haruya. The rest, such as Okuma Ashide, Usami Dingmi, Tsuchihi Masashi, Kojima Zhizhen, Jimbo Kakuhiro, Kakizaki Yuie, Usami Katsuyuki, etc., will all go out with Kakizaki Keike in Echigo.

In this way, Kakizaki Keijia and others led the 9,000 Uesugi army to embark on the journey to Echigo non-stop.

On June 1, Tadanobu Hirosawa and his party returned to Musashi. They got together from Shinagawa and went to Kawashi Castle to report non-stop. Among them, the most favored and valued by the court was the younger Akiyama Sadatsuna.

Akiyama was originally called Akiyama Tokitsuna, because of his ability to speak and deal with things. Chaoding specially asked him to come from Kenshin, and also gave him his own biased word 'Ding', and asked him to change his name to Akiyama Dingzuna. Since then, Akiyama has become a member of the Ashigaru generals under Asada.
