Chapter 390: Post-War Disposition

In the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, many people from Kai, Shinano, Izu, and other countries who accompanied the Takeda Army were killed in battle (such as Tokinobu Aoki, Nobuyoshi Yanagisawa, Jimasa Orii, Jimasa Orii, Nobutsu Yonekura, Toyotsugu Yonekura, Toyotsugu Yonekura, Masayoshi Qubuchi, Zendai Ozawa, Genshiro Yokote, Nobuyasu Aoki, Jitashi Orii, Tsugan Yinhisa, Yumitsu Koo, Kuji Kibe, Tsugane Hisashi and other Takekawa and Tsukinzhong). In addition, the Takeda family's own genealogical retainers (such as Kanamaru Torayoshi, Saneda Torakioshi, Baba Nobubo, Mokaku Toradaki, Sanada Nobutsuna, etc.) also suffered considerable losses. For a time, the Takeda family's control over Shinano, Enoe, Suruga, Izu and other countries decreased rapidly, and even the Chinese people of Kai became ready to move. Takeda Katsuyori, the young lord of the Takeda family, began to fall into deep mutual suspicion with people from all over the country. However, the two of them, the lord of Kawachi in Kai Jumo County, Nobuyojun Anayama, and the lord of Kai Torugun, Nobushige Koyamada, took the opportunity to collude with the Uesugi family and set off a rebellion against the Takeda family, and also repelled the Takeda army that went to crusade many times, causing the entire Kai country to fall into even greater chaos.

In the fourth year of Yonglu, April 23rd. While Nobuyojun Anayama and Nobushige Oyamada raised troops in Hanoi and Duryu in Jumo County, Asadaki was busy dealing with the post-war situation.

Since the former governor of the Koyama family in the Kanto region and the former young lord of the Koyama family, Hidetsuna Koyama, were killed in the battle of Hachimangahara, the court ordered the eldest son of the Koyama Hidetsuna, Hidehiro Koyama (born in the side room), to succeed him as the governor of the Oyama family and serve as the head of the Koyama clan. And Koyama Asayaki, who was originally given to Koyama Takachao as an adopted son and inherited the Koyama family, no longer served as the governor of the Koyama family and the general leader of the Koyama family, but was reappointed as the successor of Koyama Hidehiro and the elder of the Koyama family, ruling on behalf of Koyama Hidehiro, and letting him govern after Koyama Hidehiro was thirty years old.

Not only that, but the court also awarded certificates of appreciation to the members of the Oyama family, such as Enomoto Takatsuna (Koyamataka Asahi concubine), Tomioka Hidetaka (Koyamataka Asahao, first known as Koyama Shigeto), and Arakawa Hidekei, and rewarded them with items such as swords and Yongle money, hoping that they would continue to work hard to serve the Uesugi family.

The court not only issued a seal to the generals of the Hokushin Chamberlain, but also promised that if the Uesugi family unified Shinano, they would be given a considerable degree of knowledge and action. He also sent a letter to the Kamakura Princess, the Imagawa clan, the victory of the Nakajima Hachimangahara in the Xuanchuan River, and the fact that he would soon send troops south to seize all of Shinano, hoping that he would soon begin to transfer the people of Suruga, Enoe, and Mikawa in Tokaido.

At the same time, the court was also in the process of identifying the successors of his own generals who died in battle: appointing Okawa Nagahide, the son of Okawa Tadahide, to succeed him as the governor of the Okawa clan and the lord of Akakura Castle; designated Shida Yoshihide, the son of Shida Yoshitoki, as the governor of the Shida clan and the lord of Natsuto Castle, and his grandfather Shida Haruyoshi served as the posterior; Received Tojo Shigenobu, the son of Tojo Nobuhiro, the Hokishin servant, and bestowed favoritism' Ding' character, renamed Tojo Dingxin, Chaoding also designated him as the successor of the Tojo clan governor and the lord of Nishika Castle; designated Shoda Hayato, the son of Shoda Dingxian, succeeded him as the governor of the Shoda clan, and appointed him as the lord of Makinoshima Castle (the southern part of Mizuuchi County, originally owned by Saito Asanobu, and later captured by the Takeda Army), and led 6,000 stone Zhixingdi, and served as the county representative of Mizuchi County; after the head of the Asao family, Nagao Keitaka married the daughter of Naoe Keixuna (commonly known as Afune), and became the son-in-law of Naoe Keizuna, the eldest son of the Uesugi family tree generation minister Naoe Keizuna (Naoe Keitsuna's eldest son died young, and the two sons born to Masakuni Ni from the Yamayoshi family were both giant and evil, which was alienated by Naoe Jingzuna "Yamayoshi Jia伝記之Writing"), renamed Naoe Nobutsuna; After the death of Iwakura Temple Castle Lord Noro Yazaemon, Shibatsu Nobun, Lord of Kyotsu Castle, and Okura Sakikan Lord Takeuchi Genuchi were killed in battle, and their clans were left to be informed, and their domains were accepted as Kenshin's direct leader, and their retainers were all incorporated into the Banner Oteechi under Kenshin······

"Thank you Gorou, this is the bamboo leaf dumplings I made myself." Just when Chaoding was still immersed in reviewing official documents and about to seal and transfer the generals' knowledge and deeds, Qianxin came over with a plate of bamboo leaf dumplings.

"Heisan, before I took power, did you, the lord of the country, approve government affairs?" Chao Ding smiled awkwardly after looking at the mountain of official documents beside him.

"There are important ministers such as Naoe Yamato Mamomo, Yamagishi Izumo Mamoru, Okuma Bizen Mamo, and Yasuda Sabu Suke who are responsible for assisting in handling government affairs." After Kenshin finished speaking, he picked up a bamboo leaf dumpling and ate it.

"Speaking of which, can you sit firmly in the position of the lord of the Echigo country, is it really under the protection of Bishamontian······ Chao Ding began to be speechless about Qianxin.

"Shiro Katsuyori Takeda, who was stuck in Kaizu Castle before, has secretly left for Kofu, and according to the news from Xuanyuan, there may be great changes within the Takeda family." Qianxin glared at Chao Dinghou and said slowly.

"Then our more than 50,000 troops in the area of Kawanaka Island still need to stand still and continue to wait and see." Asadaki vaguely felt that the time was gradually ripe to seize the country of Shinano.

"I almost forgot to tell you, this is a letter from Echizen Taishou Asakura Saemon Governor, Oda Dan Masada hopes that he can go to Luo to meet the current general Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he wants to ask for the opinion of his family, this matter will be up to you, Fujiwara Town General." After Kenshin finished speaking, he handed Asakura Yoshikage's letter to Asada.

"Governor Asakura Saemon has recently seized most of Wakashu, and his troops are directed at Danzhou, Yongzhou (another name for Yamashiro Province) and other places, and it is really strange that he would take the initiative to ask for the opinion of his own family at this time." Asadaki became suspicious of Asakura Yoshikage's move.

"It may be that Oda Danmasadada is rapidly expanding his power in the Gyeonggi area, and the Asakura family has become wary of it. Asakura Saemon Governor thinks that the only one who can defeat the Oda family at the moment is the main family. Kenshin felt that he would inevitably fight to the death with the Oda family in the near future.

"Asakura Saemon Governor wants to drag the family in, and since that's the case, then the family will respond - don't pay attention to Oda Dan Masadada, don't go to Luo to meet the general!" Instead, Asada thought that Asakura Yoshikei had another use - to provoke Oda Nobunaga!

"What do you say?! Once you are accused of being an enemy by the shogunate, you can also see the consequences, and many daimyo in the surrounding area will attack them in groups. My family has been forced to fight a lot of battles, and I have lost a lot of retainers and subjects······" After listening to Chaoding's words, Kenshin was so surprised that even half of the bamboo leaf ball in his hand fell on the tatami mat.

"Pingsan, don't be impatient. Since Oda Dan Masada has already set his sights on Asakura Saemon Governor, even if he does go to Rakura to meet the general, it is difficult to guarantee that Oda Dan Masada will not frame Asakura Saemon Governor as a disloyal minister of the shogunate and the imperial court on other 'trumped-up' charges, and then crusade against him. "Asadaki doesn't think that just bowing his head to Oda Nobunaga can rest easy.

"Goro, you don't want to support Asakura Saemon against the shogunate, do you?!" Kenshin didn't want to be an enemy of the shogunate at the moment.

"No, no, no, I just want to use the Asakura Saemon Governor to contain the growing Oda family, the current general of the Shoi, Ashikaga Yoshiakiko, is now just a puppet in the hands of Oda Dan Masatada, and he even calls Oda Dan Masada 'Imperial Father'. Now that the war between the Honkin and the Takeda clan has not yet completely ended, it is necessary to have some 'loyal people' for the sake of the Oda family at this time to contain the Oda family, who are in charge of the shogunate. After Chao Ding finished speaking, he took a bamboo leaf dumpling from his plate and began to eat it.

"Oda Danmasadada was really close to Dr. Takeda Daizen before, and even acquiesced to the Takeda Army's seizure of more than half of the land in the three states, so I really need to take this opportunity to warn him." Kenshin thought that Oda Nobunaga, an apparent ally, did not hesitate to sell his alliance to the Tokugawa family in exchange for the Takeda family not to invade the Oda clan in order to be able to rapidly expand his territory, so that the Uesugi family continued to fight with the Takeda family, but the Oda family was able to pacify the Gyeonggi several countries in a short period of time and was about to become the next Tianxia. This made Qianxin very angry.

"Kishu, Mochizuki, Yubi, Anhara, Yaukawa, Itami, Kohama, Mukai, Katsuyama, Matsui and many other kokuren lords and clans under the command of the former Takeda family have sent secret letters to become a member of the Uesugi family." At this time, Chao Ding put a large number of secret letters in front of Qianxin.

"So many countrymen lords under the command of the Takeda family intend to defect to their own family?" Kenshin couldn't believe that there would be so many Chinese lords who intended to fall over to the Uesugi family, and even a family member of the Takeda family, such as Kishu, Yaukawa, and Katsuyama, sent secret letters to him.

"These national lords are just trying to find a way out of the Takeda family as soon as possible to protect their family name when they are about to harm their interests. "Asadachi didn't think it was a thing to be happy about, since these countrymen lords could fall to the Uesugi family, they could also fall to other daimyos. In addition, its territory is not owned by Uesugi, and the Uesugi family only got a larger territory of influence than before, but in fact, they didn't get anything.

"You can't refuse them, can you?" Qianxin also began to have a headache, after all, this is not one or two national lords, but dozens of them, and it is not a trivial matter at all.

"Let's wait and see, the family will first ensure the security of the two territories of Cave Mountain and Koyamada and the privileges of 'guarding inaccessibility', and then it will be up to the Takeda family to take action. In addition, I will order Saitoyama Castle Commander, who remained in Kawagoe Castle, to send troops into Koshu Toriru Prefecture to assist the Oyamada family in garrisoning Turyu Prefecture. Asahi was going to take one step at a time, and he didn't want Oda Nobunaga to sit on the fisherman's profits.

Just as Takeda Katsuyori was trying to concentrate all his remaining forces to quickly pacify the rebels of Anayama Nobukun, Koyamada Nobushige and others, Hail suddenly fell in Kai, as big as a pebble, and the drought was severely affected.
