In the second year of Hongji, October 3. The Kawagoe Knights, the vanguard of the Uesugi army, under the leadership of Saito Toshizo, captured the undefended Yonezawa Castle. Subsequently, Sebe Katsucho and the others also left the territory of Dewa after taking the 1,000 spears, 500 swords, and 300 bows from the spoils of war. On the other hand, the court was guarded by Saito Rizo, Sanada Masayuki, Mori Keihiro (Hojo Keihiro), and twenty white-robed knights to find the burial place of Naoko at that time outside the castle.

"Naoko, I know you don't want me to wipe out the Date family. But I haven't forgotten the thing that avenged you. This bouquet of flowers was picked in the forest, and I will come back to see you if I have time in the future. Rest assured, your daughter is living well in Wakamatsu Castle right now. "Chaoding put the flowers next to the tombstone and looked at the 'tomb of Naoko Benzawa' that he once wrote. And the people behind him, Saito Rizo and the others are not easy to disturb, they only know that they are friends of their lord.

"Bring the wine!" Half a moment later, Asada suddenly asked Saito Rizo behind him for wine, and Saito Rizo had no choice but to immediately run to the nearby castle town to buy two bottles of sake.

"Lord, wine!" Saito Toshizo knew that his new official had taken office, and he couldn't slack off.

"Naoko, when I came here, it was still twenty-three years of astronomy, and before I knew it, it had been two years!" Asadaki opened a bottle of sake and slowly poured it into the ground in front of the tombstone, while he sat on a matza and opened another bottle of sake to drink. Chao Ding couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast!

As for the cleaning and cleaning of the battlefield, it was left to Hiroyoshi Nambata, Miyagi Masayi and others, and the security in Yonezawa Castle was the responsibility of Mori Takamasa.

However, news of the Battle of Imaizumi did not reach Aizu in time. And the father and son of Inawashiro Shengguo also raised troops and stood on their own at the instigation of Makino Hisinaka. It is not so much that he raised troops to stand on his own, but that he closed the city and defended himself. His self-defense in this closed city is not too correct. First of all, both the people and the ashigaru were exempt from tyranny and exorbitant taxes due to the favor of the Uesugi family, and no one wanted to say goodbye to such a good day. Thirty people of Inawashiro Mori and his retainers and cronies could only hold on to Honmaru and wait for the so-called Date family reinforcements from Makino.

Fortunately, Ota Zimasa and Tao Zhuo Zhixuan got the news that Inomidai Shengguo was going to rebel in advance, and directly united with Jieshan Yunsheng, Usami Dingsheng and Anazawa Toshimitsu. They led an army of 1,500 and slaughtered the city of Inowashiro on the same day. And the lords who have been favored by the Uesugi family have not obeyed the orders of Inawashiro Morikoku.

The standing ashigaru under the command of Inawashiro Mori also knew that only after the arrival of the Uesugi family did they have today's day and bid farewell to the harsh government. All, Inawashiro Castle, Atami Castle and other Inawashiro provinces all gave up resistance.

On October 4, the Honmaru Castle of Inowashiro, which was defended by the Inowashiro Mori Kingdom, was also instantly breached. Zhu Miao Dai Shengguo was killed in battle, and his family members were all killed. And the retainers who were with him fought to the last man. Makino Kunaka was found in Honmaru's closet and captured. At the same time, due to the defeat and retreat of Date Harumune, Nakano Sotoki and Watari Motomune had no choice but to abandon Watari Castle and retreat, and cede Watari Castle to the Soma family. And Date Uemune, who was still under house arrest in Marumori Castle, was personally taken to live in Kotaka Castle by his good 'grandson' Soma Moriyin. Of course, Marumori Castle was also taken over by the Soma family. What makes Soma Shengyin happiest is not these cities, but the grain that has not been harvested outside!

A few days later, the dragon girl also received a letter from Katsucho Sebe, and also learned that the court had once again mobilized the retainers and troops of the Nagao family. Of course, the dragon maiden instantly arrived at Yonezawa Castle on the 15th with Chisaka Keijin and a hundred horseback samurai under his command. Naturally, there is still a vase leader of Uesugi Kenmasa.

"I don't know the arrival of the Fuchu Hall (Fuchu Nagao Family) and the Yamanuchi Temple, and I hope to forgive my sins if I miss the distance." After learning of the arrival of the Dragon Maiden and Uesugi Kenmasa in the morning, he immediately washed up with the help of Sanada Masayuki and others, and then changed into black court clothes to meet guests in the Ohiro room.

"Not bad! The repair doctor even cleaned up the house of Ida, who is famous in Oshu, and it's amazing! "Uesugi Kenmasa was shocked to hear the news that the Asada's army had set up a formation with 6,000 troops to defeat the Date coalition and kill 4,000!

"The inner hall of the mountain is praised, and I dare not be ashamed. If it weren't for the support of the 5,000 Long-Tail Army, this six-scale array would really not be able to be put on display. Chao Ding could only smile and not smile, he knew that this time he had mobilized the military strength of the Nagao family again, and he knew from the face of the dragon girl sitting opposite that if it weren't for Uesugi Kenmasa, she would have pounced and tore herself.

"Well, it's not bad. The repair doctor at least knew that there was assistance from the Long Tail family, but once again bypassed me and sent troops at will with the strength of the Long Tail family! Although the dragon girl was wearing a black court dress at this time, her snow-white face was also a lot red due to anger.

"Can you two stop fighting? They are all members of the Uesugi family, and they are about to send troops to Kanto, so they are all kind. At this time, Uesugi Kenmasa naturally acted as a mud to ease the relationship between the court and the dragon girl.

"By the way, please mediate the war between the Uesugi family, the Soma family, the Date family, the Osaki family, the Kasai family, and the Mogami family. In the first battle of Imaizumi, the number of casualties of the three coalition forces had already reached 4,000, so in order not to continue such a meaningless war, and so that the Aizu Uesugi family could smoothly go south to Kanto next year. Worship the Lord's Palace! "At this time, it is natural to pretend that peace is needed, and the premise is that after taking more than 60,000 stone places in Imaizumi, Yonezawa, Kamihara, Itaya and other places, can it not stop? And I also learned that after the Shengguo of the Pig Miao Dynasty was annihilated due to rebellion, there was an extra territory of nearly 20,000 stones, not to mention, the territory of more than 80,000 stones in the two wars had to be digested. Even if you want to fight, the dragon girl has come to the reinforcements of the Long Tail family, and it is estimated that they will not arrive.

"It's easy to say, I came all the way here for this." When Uesugi Kenmasa saw that Asada's youth and promisingness were so young, he couldn't help but think of his son who was betrayed by his retainers. After he finished speaking, he first looked at Chaoding, and then

After looking at the dragon girl again, she thought of something.

"All the west of the small country city belongs to the Changwei family, and the stone is almost 10,000 high." The court must have given all the good loot to the Yangbei people, and also gave a lot of military expenses, if the territory is given more, then the Uesugi family really don't have to live.

"Just 10,000? The long-tailed army threw their heads and spilled blood for you to defeat the Date family, and you will give 10,000 stones?! "The dragon girl is a little unbearable, if you want to say before, she will definitely not accept it at all. But now it's different, she's now the Daimyo of Ji of a million stones! If it spreads, then people all over the world think that the labor force of the Nagao family is too cheap!

"Don't worry, the Mogami family had nothing to do with them, but Mogami Yoshimori insisted on preventing the Nagami Army from entering Dewa to fight with the Date family. Although it was repulsed, the punishment was wanted. Hasedo Castle is to be confiscated. "Chao Ding doesn't want to make life easier for the Mogami family, and if they all use knives, then there is no need to give them a good face and good treatment.

"How many stones are in Hasedo?" The dragon girl didn't know much about Ou Yu's affairs, so she couldn't attack until Chaoding told her the specific number.

"Tell Jinghu Gong, Changgu Hall City is two thousand stones." Toshizo Saito replied as he sat at the door.

"Excellent! Repair doctor, 12,000 stones! "The dragon girl wants Ayahime to leave him quickly, and give her own mother's family so much?

"More than that, 10,000 stones in White Eagle City." Chao Ding didn't want to finish it all at once, so he had to say it little by little like squeezing toothpaste.

"Oh, twenty-two thousand stones! I'm afraid that the repair doctor, you should not get less than 50,000 stones! "The dragon girl can guess that Chao Ding will definitely keep the most to herself.

"It's nothing, isn't the 540,000 stone of the country of Vietnam and China also included in the bag of the Nagao family at one time? Now there are 8,000 stones such as the Missile Hippodrome Pavilion and Shengang City. The silver mountain there is also directly under the jurisdiction of the Nagao family. Presumably, the longtail family should have gotten more than me. "Chaoding knew that Echigo had no more land before to be divided, but now there are more Echichu, Okushinano and other places.

......" The dragon girl was speechless by his statement.

"It seems that Chisaka Tsushima Shoujingqin has no chance to make meritorious contributions, so I suggest that Chisaka Jingqin be transferred from Kambara-gun to Hasedo Castle, and he can earn 500 koku more than the old leader." Chaoding wanted the retainers of the Nagao family to guard his north gate, and he could go south with peace of mind.

"What about the remaining 10,000 stones in White Eagle City?" The dragon girl doesn't seem to be able to think of a suitable candidate at the moment. Originally, she also wanted to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and then after thinking that Takeda Harunobu was suppressed in the nest and couldn't go north, she understood the expansion of the dynasty.

"Yamamoto Temple Jing is the younger brother of the Yamamoto Temple. The ability is not bad, and there is no problem with the town guard. It is not impossible to transfer the lord of Higuchi Kanetoyo to Yushu, and let him build a new city. "Chaoding is like this, but the retainers of the Long Tail family of Echigo have basically begun to slowly turn out of Echigo.

After a short period of deliberation on the matter of the territory, on October 20, representatives of the six houses sent representatives to Yonezawa Castle to discuss an armistice. Due to the crushing defeat of the Date family, the loss of the two hundred horseback warriors who still had important combat power after the heavy minister Oniba Yoshinao, and even Date Minoto, the younger brother of Date Harumune, was captured. The diplomat sent by the Date family this time was an old face from Nakano Munetoki. And the Soma family sent the old man Ei Yinji.

Because before the meeting, Ryunu mobilized four people and 4,000 troops from Yoshibu Katsunaga, Kurokawa Kiyomi, Yoshie Munobu, and Kaji Kiyotsuna to stand by near Imaizumi, and even Yamamoto Temple Keicho was stationed outside Yonezawa Castle with 500 troops, so he waited to take over his territory after the meeting. The dragon girl's hand is playing well, and the military is placed on the border, so that these people who come to the meeting must pay a lot of attention to their words and deeds.

The armistice was completed in three hours, from morning to noon. First of all, the Mogami family confiscated 18,000 stones from Hasedo, Hakutaka, Zuoze and other places; The Date family's original 61,000 koku from Yonezawa Castle, Kamihara Castle, Itaya Castle, and Imaizumi Castle were owned by the Aizu Uesugi family, and 10,000 koku west of Kokuni Castle were owned by the Nagao family; The Osaki family and the Kasai family each paid 300 small gold awards; The 15,000 koku of Marumori Castle and Wari Castle occupied by the Soma family belonged to the Soma family. Secondly: Date Minoto and Makino Kunaka must redeem each with a small gold sentence of 300 yuan each; The House of Date was not to retake the city of Wali and other cities; The Mogami family was not allowed to retake Hasedo and other places. Finally: if there are violators in each family, then what awaits them is the tens of thousands of troops of the Nagao family! Higuchi Kanetoyo was also transferred to Sasawa Castle to receive 3,000 koku afterwards.

After this meeting, the happiest person who laughed was Ei Yinji. The Soma family, which was originally weak, rose from 45,000 koku daimyo to 60,000 koku daimyo in an instant after receiving help from the Uesugi family. And the attribution of Yonezawa Castle was not thought about, but only temporarily sent an acting official to take charge of it. And when Asada was about to leave after talking with the envoys sent by the daimyos, he was called into her room by the dragon maiden.

"The repair doctor's formation is good, huh? I really didn't expect that the repair doctor, who had been relying on the strength of the Nagao family's army before, would still be able to form a formation and defeat the enemy army! "The dragon girl is obviously not here just to divide the territory.

"What's this? Didn't you also make a car suspension? "Chaoding doesn't feel a little right, all the Ji warriors in the mansion are not there, and even some retainers are waiting outside the mansion.

"Uesugi Asada, let me ask you, if you marry me, will it be good for me and my sister?" The dragon girl was a little shy, but after saying this, Chao Ding, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost choked to death.

"What? Won't you, let me marry my sister-in-law?\" How does Chao Ding feel a little wrong, this is not the dragon girl style who has always called herself the god of Bishamen.

"The Kanto Governor said that if I get married to you, I think the Kanto Lords will be more obedient to me than to Hojo Shiyasu. And it can also make the Nagao family atone for their sins (the crime of rebellion) ......" The dragon girl's face became redder and redder the more she spoke, completely contrasting with the white samurai uniform she was wearing.

"I'm not the kind of man who cares a lot now, right? There is only one butterfly in the side room, and then have you ever thought that your sister is my main room, so what about you? Asadachi is also a big head, but he didn't expect Uesugi Kenmasa to play this trick to show his presence.

"Don't worry about this, my sister will be bigger, I'll be small......" The dragon girl twisted her head to the side, very embarrassed.

"Although the sister file is also good, I can't afford to live a short life." Although Chao Ding said so in his heart, he was embarrassed to refuse in person.

"The general has already agreed to my father-in-law's request, so I have to say that I haven't notified you......" The dragon girl told a big shady story! First, the Kanto Governor went directly to the shogun, and then he seized the time to recognize the righteous daughter, but he did not notify the court.

"Can you refuse?" Chao Ding cried and laughed.

"No way!" The dragon girl threw down this sentence and straightened her clothes and left the hall, leaving Chao Ding alone in the hall in a daze.

The court finally returned to Wakamatsu Castle on November 5 after supervising the Honnao Temple outside Yonezawa Castle.

As soon as Asadai returned to Wakamatsu Castle, an interim assessment meeting was held. This evaluation meeting was naturally held to reward the retainers, because the old pig Miao Dai Sheng Guo needed to be promoted to a new family elder after the rebellion, and the heart of this candidate was naturally clear.

"The battle in Ou this time has received the full assistance of various retainers, and the former general Nambada Hiroyoshi has been promoted to the elder of the family; Namba Hiroyoshi originally led Shiokawa Castle 5,000 koku to Dewa Kamihara Castle 10,000 koku. "Sanada Masayuki was arranged by the court to read the block list this time, if he hadn't been lazy and was told by Maori Jingguang and others, he could only be arranged by the court to be by his side.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Namba Tian Hiroyoshi can finally be ranked as the elder of the family, which also shows that his achievements this time are not bad.

"Kato Duan Zangyuan led Inamura Castle 500 stones, and transferred it to Shoushan Castle to receive 1,000 stones."

"Thank you for your kindness, and the minister is grateful." Kato Duanzo has done his best to recruit and train ninjas for the Uesugi family over the years, although the ninjas are raised by the Uesugi family, but he is also a trainer without merit and hard work.

"Izupo Shouqing gave Daocun Castle five hundred stones." Chaoding has not forgotten the retainer of Depu Shouqing, who had no chance to be rewarded before, but now that he has more territory, he must be rewarded, otherwise he will be unbalanced.

"I'm grateful!\" Deura Shouqing finally waited for the day when he had a territory.

"Toshimitsu Anazawa has been helping his family fight everywhere for his father, and he has specially rewarded Shiokawa Castle with 5,000 stones." For Anzawa Toshimitsu, Asada has always wanted to find a reason for him to be alone, and he doesn't want him to stay in Hibara Mountain all the time.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Toshimitsu Anazawa was so happy to hear it, because his father had not yet lived in seclusion, he couldn't be in charge alone, but now he can become a nickname after having the order of the dynasty.

"Kawada Chang personally led the 10,000 stone Zhiyuki of Itaya Castle, and was responsible for guarding the Minamiidewa area, and watching over the Date family for the family."

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Kawada himself didn't expect to become a castle lord of 10,000 koku in an instant! Even the ministers in the family did not enjoy this treatment!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are still two months to go before the Kanto region is dispatched, and I hope that you can prepare and repair the roads near your skills in the territory. If you haven't been rewarded yet, don't be anxious and dissatisfied, when you invade Kanto, your territory will be doubled! "Asadaki can now be said to be full of confidence, the Date family has the Soma family to watch over, and the Mogami family is also watched by Yamamoto Temple Keinaga and Chisaka Keijin and others, so I can say that I have no worries.

"Yes!" The retainers naturally understood when they heard this, especially the retainers of the genealogy. Ota Zimasa is not in a hurry, he knows that his current identity as the head of the pen family and the head of the family of the genealogy will not be less than 50,000 stone in the future. Like Namba Tian Kenji and Namba Tian Hiroyoshi, they are also excited, and they can fight everywhere in the Kanto region.

"By the way, the military strength and soldiers who should be replenished should still hurry up and replenish it. The number of heavy infantry increased by two hundred. The meeting was adjourned. After saying that, Chao Ding got up and left the big wide room. However, just as he was near the study, he was stopped by Kita.

"Kita would like to congratulate His Highness on his victory in the Imaizumi." Although Kita is only eight years old, she should be the type of person who does nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall.

"Well, is there something wrong?" Chao Ding squatted down and stroked her head.

"The little girl knows the reason why the lord went to attack Date's house - where her mother's grave is located." Kita seems to know a little bit about it.

"Yes, my mother was a great inspiration to me. If it weren't for the Date family, she would still be alive by now. Asadaki couldn't help but feel a little sad, it is true that if it wasn't for Naoko's death, he wouldn't have been able to immediately make up his mind to attack the Date family. Moreover, life is short, if you can quickly seize the old Kanto territory, then you will be able to win the world. You have to know that you are only 28 years old now, and you will be 29 in two months.

"......" Kita has been reading, but there are some things that she still can't figure out for a while.

"Alright, don't think about it. Go read the book. "Chao Ding knows that he is only 230,000 stone now, which is far from enough.

Just when Asadaki returned to the main city, Wakamatsu Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide had already strengthened the castle of Kan no Mori for a short time, and it was stronger than before. Since it was a government appropriation, Akechi Mitsuhide was only responsible for recruiting labor, designing drawings, and directing the site. The Ninomaru in Kannomori Castle has been expanded to accommodate 2,000 troops, and the Minomaru, which has just been completed, can also accommodate 1,500 troops; There were a number of longhouses built in the Twist Wheel, and the Oteemon Gate was built so that ten horsemen could enter side by side; Since the court stated in advance that Kannomori Castle was only a military station, Akechi Mitsuhide was very successful in not building the castle tower in the Imperial Pavilion of Honmaru, but also built two longhouses on the original basis for the retainers to rest. However, Akechi Mitsuhide also built a horse farm near the castle. As for the facilities of the horse farm, it was naturally relatively rudimentary, because most of the Uesugi family's army was still composed of infantry, and the cavalry had to let the cavalry recuperate after suffering heavy losses in several battles, and could not fight at will.
