Chapter 80: Isanuma Awarded After the War

On June 30 of the third year of Koji, the Sekiguchi clan, Horikoshi Sadaki, and ten other samurai arrived at Edo Port outside Edo Castle. At this time, Edo Castle had already been taken over by Tadanobu Hirosawa, and he was appointed by the court to start repairing and expanding Edo Castle, and he also asked him to recruit a large number of laborers. The Uesugi family contracted three meals a day for these laborers, and they were rewarded for their hard work.

In the battle of Isonuma northeast of Kawagoe Castle, the Uesugi family in the management of the leader almost did not receive decent spoils. Most of the horses of the Hojo Army were stabbed to death or wounded by the spear warriors under the orders of the court; Only 150 sabers, 500 spears, 100 3 guns, 50 naginatas, 100 sets of carcass, and 1,000 sets of barrel buckets were all in normal use.

Asadaki had to say that the army brought out by Hojo Tsusunari and Kasahara Yasukatsu was indeed very strong in combat, although his own number was only a few thousand more, but the army that really participated in the battle was the same as their number. Sun Tzu once said: 'Five rules surround it.' Ten are attacked. Obviously, the Uesugi family can't meet such conditions, and even if they do, they have to consider whether the Hojo Army will take the initiative to come to fight? Hojo Yasuya is not a risk-taking person, he would rather stay in Odawara Castle to defend the city than come out to take risks, if it weren't for the fake news released by the court this time, he would definitely not take the initiative to come. However, Takeda Shingen's dispatch of troops was indeed very synchronized with Asada's actions, and they had already been out of battle during the battle of Namba Tada Castle, so it can be said that the timing was just right, and it could also allow Asada's tens of thousands of troops to defeat Hojo Tsusunari after nearly a month of formation training.

When Hojo Shiyasu took the initiative to attack, he also let Asadaki see the long-dormant enemies and the wall-top grasses who threw themselves into his arms, which gave the Uesugi family an excellent excuse to send troops, and also allowed the Uesugi family to sweep away all these enemies in one fell swoop! Except for the three territorial states of Hitachi, Anbo, and Sagami, which did not have any territory at all, the rest of the Kanto countries had some territories.

One of Takeda Shingen's subordinate divisions, Koyamada Nobushige, also entered Musashi, and although he only had 2,000 troops under his command, he also received news of the Hojo Army's crushing defeat at Musashi. Although Koyamada Nobushige's father and ancestors are all connected to the Hojo family, and they are also counted by the Hojo family in the 'other countries'! In the past, the Imagawa family invaded Kai Province because the Anayama family led the way, and the Hojo family's invasion of Kai Province also had someone to lead the way, and it was the Oyamada family that served the Hojo family. At that time, even Takeda Shinhu just turned a blind eye to this time, and if Takeda Shingen hadn't seen it for the sake of being a public, he would have found a reason to kill the spectrum generation.

On the 23rd, Uesugi Dynasty ordered to reward all the meritorious men of the Battle of Isaguma in the Musashi River Koshijo Castle Assessment Room (in order to quickly digest the occupied areas and the areas that have not yet had time to govern):

Honjo was given 14,850 koku from the beginning of the three castles of Musashi Province, Hakugashi Castle, and Yasudo Castle, and this time there was no reward for the territory, but it became a reward of 600 kan of Yongraku money.

Hosoya Shitomo took the initiative to send his son Hosoya Shimichi to aid and capture the power of riding Nishijo, and was promoted from Ashigaru to Uesugi to lead the Daiya, and sealed Musashi to ride Nishijo 6,750 stone. It just so happened that Hosoya Shitomo changed from a castle generation to a castle lord.

Hosoya Shimichi promptly led the army to participate in the battle and assisted his father in conquering the Riding West Castle, and was promoted from Ashigaru General to General Shikai (he was originally promoted from Ashigaru to Ashigaru General when he was training the Shangshu soldiers), and sealed Ueno Koizumi Castle with 4,500 koku. Koizumi Castle is in the southern part of Ueno, and it is close to Musashi Ninja Castle, so the purpose of sealing it in Koizumi Castle is self-evident.

Tamura Kiyoshi and Kiyoshi Toshira led the only remaining 400 Tamura troops to evacuate the Kanto region, and before leaving, they were given 500 pieces of Yongle money by the court.

Date Boma assisted the old Ota Shimasa in the Battle of Isanuma and sealed the Musashi Tenjin Mountain Castle for 4,950 stones.

Oishi Tsunagen assisted in the defense of Honjo and the battle of Isanuma for his dedication, and rewarded 300 taels of gold (one tael is equivalent to 5 Yongle money, and 300 taels is equivalent to 1,500 Yongle money).

Kiyonaga Ikawa defeated Yasuhiro Fujita and participated in the Battle of Isanuma for his meritorious service, and was rewarded with 300 taels of gold.

・Kibe Tera (Ueno's ronin who joined the Kamishu Army) captured Hojo Tsunari's 'Jihuang Hachiman' banner and sealed 2,700 koku of Sotitai Castle (east of Musashiwafu Castle). Shimotodai Castle was taken by the head of Yamamoto Temple by the way, and was originally subordinate to the Furukawa family. However, Chaoding doesn't want to return it, wouldn't it be nice if he could have a little more territory?

When the battle was critical, Xiliding led the army to entangle with the enemy, sealed the Ueno Red Stone Castle with 5,400 stones, and was promoted to the rank of general.

The Ashigaru general, who has been following the leader of the family, did his best for the main family, sealed the Nodabe Ijo Castle 4,000 and 50 stones, and was promoted to the rank of general. After Tabei was repaired by the refugees 'by the way', the Yokose family had no choice but to give up temporary management of it.

Ogasawara was promoted from a general to a general, and was transferred from 5,000 koku to 7,200 koku to Uenokan Hayashijo.

Omori Fujiyori was transferred from Aizu IIISHIRO Castle 2,000 koku to Musashi Ontake Castle 5,850 koku. As a retainer of the lineage, the transfer of him to Musashi can be regarded as a sign of his loyalty to him, and even if he has no special military exploits, he can return to Musashi.

・The courtier Ogasawara Sadagogue did his best in the battle of Namba Ta Castle, and transferred 2,000 koku from Tanizaka Castle on the Michitsu Road Road to 4,500 koku from Noguchikan (north of Iwatsuke Castle). In addition, Ogasawara Sadashi changed from a courtier to a direct minister.

Ashigaru General Momoi Yoshitaka made meritorious contributions to repairing roads, and was promoted to the rank of general from 3,000 koku to 5,400 koku in Naba Castle.

Hideji Kano captured Katsuhiro Fukushima, the younger brother of Hojo Tsunari, and did his best in the Battle of Isaguma, rewarding him with 500 taels of gold.

Hirosawa Tadanobu was a retainer on behalf of the family, assisted Honjo Shigenaga to attack the people of the country who returned to Hojo in various places, and also participated in the Battle of Isanuma, sealing Akatsuka Castle 4,500 koku and Itabashi Castle 4,500 koku, and was promoted to a general, and he was also responsible for the restoration and security of Edo Castle.

Yamada Naodari had previously assisted Saito Rizo in conquering Inamura Castle, which was garrisoned by the Hojo Army, and then withstood the attack of the Hojo Army in the Battle of Isaguma, and as a new retainer, he sealed Furuya Castle for 4,500 koku and was promoted to the rank of general.

Sheren revisited the battle of Isaguma and participated in the battle, plus he was very conscientious in the training of the Kamishu soldiers (the court found a reason, otherwise there was no reason to seal the retainers, and the Hojo family of Musashi only had Hachioji Castle left, and gave the Uesugi family more than 600,000 koku of territory), promoted to the rank of Ashigaru general, and sealed the mountain castle of 4,500 koku.

Toshimitsu Anazawa served his duties in the defense of Namba Ta Castle and was promoted to the rank of general of the main family, and was transferred from Aizu Shiogawa Castle with 5,000 koku to Musashi Tokita Castle with 4,500 koku and Aoki Castle with 4,500 koku. Tokita Castle and Aoki Castle are located in Minami Musashi, so they can quickly enter Sagami, and the purpose of the Jodai putting Anazawa Toshimitsu in this position is to let him manage these two castles well, and when the court wants to send troops to Sagami in the future, he can use Anazawa Toshimitsu as the vanguard, and he can pass smoothly with the army. Moreover, Toshimitsu Anazawa can also fight with the people of nearby Sawayama Castle, and if the Hojo Army takes the initiative to invade, it can defend for several months.

Although the reinforcement general Ryoda Harusuke sent by the Furukawa Gongfang was unable to participate in the battle in time, he killed a lot of the defeated army of the Hojo family and rewarded Yongle with 200 kan.

Since serving as the general of the Kawagoe Knights, Saito Rizo has performed many miraculous feats, and has been promoted from ashigaru general to general of the squire, and has served as the lord of Hongo Castle, receiving 4,500 koku.

The old Ota Mino Morishi of the main family of the family was from the former Tsugawa Castle, 25,000 koku of Kanjojo Castle, 200 koku of Guhe Castle, and 2,000 koku of Okugawa Castle, a total of 27,200 koku, and this time the battle of Isanuma won the Hojo Army's general Hojo Tsusunari and trained the Kamishu soldiers, and transferred to Musashi, and received Iwatsuki Castle (11,250 koku), Daiyama Castle (4,500 koku), Warabi Castle (5,000 koku), Kneori Castle (5,000 koku), Suno Castle (4,500 koku), and Kosuo Castle (5,100 koku), a total of 35,350 koku. The purpose of the court to put Ota Shimasa in Musashi was twofold: first, to look at the Furukawa Gongfang and the wealthy clans and people who were subordinate to the Furukawa Gongfang; Second, letting Ota Shimasa manage this Iwatsuke Castle, where the Ota family has lived for generations, also makes him more loyal.

The old man of the second seat family, Namba Tian Kenji, because he led troops out of the city to meet the enemy without permission, so there was no reward for the time being (in order to show his authority, although Anazawa Toshimitsu is also with Namba Tian Kenji, but after all, he is not the commander-in-chief, and Namba Tian Kenji is after all a retainer and the second seat of the family, if you don't punish it, who will listen to the orders of the court in the future?) )。 Miyagi Masaye and Namba Hiroyoshi were injured and rewarded after they recovered.

Coincidentally, when the two envoys of the Kawa family arrived at Edo Castle, Tadanobu Hirosawa himself discovered them while overseeing the repair of the castle walls, and then sent them to Kawagoe Castle. The Sekiguchi clan and Horikoshi Sadaki set out on the road to Koshi Castle before they even had time to rest. Knowing that the comer was not good, Hirosawa Zhongxin deliberately lent two horses to the two of them, just to prevent them from resting halfway. After a day and a night, Tadanobu Hirosawa took the Sekiguchi clan, Horikoshi Sadaki and others to the foot of Kawagoe Castle.

Although the Kanto Governor Daijia was able to control most of Musashi in his hands, it was only when he re-examined the land and counted the population that it was discovered that there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Minami Musashi. It can be said that the retainers who garrisoned Minami Musashi really had to be careful to govern and recruit homeless people to cultivate. At present, the stone height of the Musashi region taken by the Kanto Governor Daijia is only more than 244,700 stones, which is completely disproportionate to the table height of Musashi One Country of 667,000, and even if all of Musashi One Country is really taken, it may only be more than 300,000 stones. This is inseparable from the actions of the three thousand Imagawa troops who entered Musashi.

Moreover, the head of Yamamoto Temple also sent troops very smoothly, and after taking the original castle, he was relieved to keep the standing Ashigaru 500 stationed, and he recruited 2,000 Ashigaru to return to Echigo. The strength of the Chiba family, which is the strongest in the lower ranks, is almost the same as that of the Hojo family, but it is only the national strength and territory. As a famous family, the Chiba family has always been relatively strong, but the later lord is too mediocre, so that the retainers will turn on a black light after a while to complain that the leader is incompetent, and when the little bow Ashikaga rises, one person will beat the three military directors of Takajo Yinji, Yuan Yinrong, and Yuan Tiger Yin, and successfully enter the small bow city, so in the 34 script, the attitude of the Chiba family towards the small bow Ashikaga is "fearful".
