Chapter 133: Nagao Jingman's Whistleblowing

On March 25 of the first year of Eiroku, a huge conspiracy against the Uesugi family gradually began.

The followers of Nagao Keibo are not only the lord of Echichu Shinjo, Nagao Keinao, the lord of Suyoshi Castle, Uesugi Keishin, the lord of Tenjinyama Castle, Yorihisa Oguni, the lord of Shimojo Castle, Minoru Shimojo, and the lord of Okawa Castle, Tadahide Okawa; The lord of the small country castle is indamitaka; Hamo Castle Lord Honma Takanobu, Zatai Castle Lord Honma Yutai, Kawabara Castle Lord Honma Sadanao, Kuchi Castle Lord Honma Masatasu, Iiyama Castle Lord Takanashi Yoriharu and other people, Umijo Castle Lord Umijo Yoribo (Echigo Guardian Uesugi Family Sect), Mizumasa (Uesugi Castle Lord).

Although there are many supporters of Nagao Keifu, he needs to first fight with the lord of Bancheng Castle, Naoe Keitsuna, the lord of Takajo Castle Nagao Fujikei (Fuchu Nagao family Shuryu, a gate of the public), the lord of Biwa Hanging Castle Biwa Island Hiroto (Fuchu Nagao kin), Nakayama Castle lord Nagao Keiren (Fuchu Nagao one gate, Kenshin subordinate brother), Sugawa Castle Dai Nagao Tokimune (Fuchu Nagao family one gate), 60,000 Riding Castle Dai Nagao Keijin (Fuchu Nagao one gate), Kurotaki Castle Daiyoshi Mitsuyu, Sanjo Castle Lord Yamayoshi Masayo, Yasuda Castle Lord Yasuda Nagahide, Honjo Castle Daihonjo Moricho (originally Zhuang Fanchang and then saw people) and others were defeated and no one was left, otherwise they would not easily lay down their arms with the temper of the Banner Imperial Staff, the retainers of the Spectrum Dynasty, and the clansmen. It can be said that it was not so easy for Nagao Jingfang to raise troops to successfully capture Echigo.

Uesugi Keishinobu also needs to send someone to Ueno to serve as his own name before raising troops, and his candidate is his seventeen-year-old sister-in-law, Nagao Keimitsu. He wanted his sister-in-law to serve as the guardian of Ueno, and tried his best to contact the remnants of the Hao clan and the samurai who were exterminated by the Uesugi army before Ueno, as long as he could drag the Uesugi army to the winter in Ueno, then the Echigo side would be completely out of reinforcements. In winter, Echigo is covered in snow.

However, after arriving at Ueno's intended territory, Sushiwa Castle, Nagao Keimitsu immediately went to Kawagoe Castle alone. Nagao Keimitsu knew that Nagao Keifu's strength was impossible to fight against the Uesugi family and the retainers stationed in the land, so instead of defeating the clan in the end, it was better to take the initiative to surrender in exchange for the survival of Suyoshi Nagao's family name. In the end, even if the Uesugi family fails, then Suyoshi Nagao will still exist. This is called 'diversification'.

So, Nagao Jingman went to Heyue City to 'pit daddy'. On March 31, Nagao Keimitsu finally arrived at the foot of Heyue Castle.

"See the town government and the mountain city guard." Nagao Jingman trembled and greeted Chaoding sitting on the main seat, he didn't have the courage to look directly at Chaoding.

"Isn't this Jingman? Is there something urgent about not seeing you for a while? I heard that you just arrived in Ueno Ushiwa Castle and dropped off your luggage and rushed here. "Chaoding didn't understand what Nagao Keiman's sudden arrival was. Asada didn't tell the dragon girl who raised the fetus, so he went to Ohiroma with Saito Michizo to meet Nagao Keimitsu.

"The town government ... Father... Attempt to rebel! After holding back for a few minutes, Nagao Keimitsu finally said the reason for coming this time intermittently.

"What?!" Chao Ding was surprised and dropped the folding fan in his hand to the ground.

"How could Uesugi Yuamaru rebel? He is the head of the family and the elder of the pedigree of the palace, and his status is a high authority among the Echigo people. Saito Michizo couldn't figure out why Uesugi Keishinobu rebelled for a while.

"A few days ago, my father discussed with Nagao Koshiro Keichi, Kokuni Yorihisa, Kaneko Shotsuna, Oseki cronies and others in Suyoshi Castle to elect Nagao Jingboden as the guardian of Echigo and the governor of the Nagao family in Fuchu." Nagao Keimitsu then explained the reason.

"Longtail view room? Could it be that it is the third man with a long tail for Jing Gong! Chaoding instantly remembered that this person still had considerable connections in Echigo.

"Yes, the Ashina clan of Aizu; Okushino Takanashi Yoriji; Sado's Honma has Tai, Honma Sada, Honma Takanobu, and Honma Hisachi; Echigo's Shimojo Minoru, Okawa Tadahide, Sasaki Socho, Kaneko Naotsuna, Oseki cronies, etc.; Etchonaka Ishiguro Narita and Mizen Mitsuyasu have all become allies of Nagao Keifu. The minister deserves death, please see the minister's report on the minister's report, and leave the name of the family of Ji Changwei! After Nagao Keimitsu finished speaking, he knelt on the tatami mat and kowtowed to the court.

"The Shibe Katsunaga, Kurokawa Kiyomi, and Kaji Kiyotsuna of the Yangbei people are all in Aizu and Oshu, and their skills are empty. It looks like they've been dormant for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity! Chao Ding couldn't help but sigh. If the speed of his strategy is slower, it will not be the case if all the generals of Yangbei who support him are on standby in his territory.

"It's come to this, and there's nothing to be done. Did they invite other daimyo to become their foreign aid, such as Takeda and Hojo? Saito Michizo immediately walked up to Nagao Keimitsu and asked. Michizo Saito is very worried about Takeda Shingen and Hojo Clanmasa, and maybe they will take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Uesugi family in a big way.

"Yes, the Takeda family sent hundreds of Koshu gold to my father last year, saying that the money was used to buy armaments. There was no response from the Hojo family, and the Takeda family said that they would send troops to attack Okushinano as soon as the time was right. Nagao Keimitsu said it all without any concealment.

"Danzo!" Chaoding shouted at the bamboo and finch screen behind him, and then Kato Duanzo walked out from behind the screen.

"My lord, please command." Without any hesitation, Kato Duanzo walked to Asada's side.

"You have Yokotani Yukishige and the rest of the Azuma ninja keep an eye on all the roads leading from Echigo to Ueno, and report immediately if the Echigo side sends Hosaku to talk to the countrymen and samurai in Ueno." Asadachi felt that his punishment of the people of Shimono was going to be put on hold for a while, after all, Echigo and Ueno were much more important than Shimono.

"Yes." Kato Duanzo then used ninjutsu to leave Ohiroma.

"Jing Man, you have a few choices: first, you are ready to go back to Ueno Qiwa City and cage city to drag the counterinsurgency army of your family; 2. After returning to Echi, assist Fengzen Shou to raise troops; 3. Stay under my account and make meritorious deeds. Which one are you going to choose? Chao Ding asked Nagao Jingman concisely and clearly. He felt that since Nagao Keimitsu dared to come to Kawagoe City to report the news, then he would definitely not go to Ueno Cage Castle to defend it, and he would have to see if Nagao Keimitsu would choose two or three.

"The minister decided... Remain in the service of the town government. Nagao Keimitsu tried his best to say what he thought, but he didn't want to fight his father, and he was still very nervous in his heart now. Although he was determined to come to the snitch in order to save the name of the Suyoshi Nagao family, Nagao Keimitsu was not ready to fight his father in the future.

Chao Ding saw Nagao Jingman's worries and worries, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you can take the initiative to come and inform, then you have merit." You can use the Miao character for 'Uesugi'. From now on, I will give you the 8,000 stones of Qiwa City. ”

"Town Government ······" Nagao Jingman was speechless for a while, of course, he was speechless because he was moved.

"Chaoding, it seems that even if the current Uesugi family wants to quell the rebellion, they have more than enough strength and no strength." Michini Saito understood the current situation of the Uesugi family after hearing that Nagao Keibo had contacted Takeda, Hojo and other families. The generals of Okushino could not be saved, and the same was true of Echigo's Banner Ote-Oyashi (formed by Kenshin Uesugi in the Joetsu region).

"Understand, the water in Kanto is still very deep······" When Asahi didn't say anything, he left Dahiroma. Saito Michimichi took a look at Nagao Keimitsu and left Honmaru after seeing him off, and the only place he wanted to go was the 'Minokan' under Kawagoe Castle.

Nagao Keimitsu left Kawagoe Castle on the front foot, and on the back foot, Zeng I Youzhong sent his own clan brother Zeng I Youjun to inform the Asadachi Hojo family that they had made a move.

However, Zeng Youjun ate a closed door, but he still sat in the empty room and waited for the arrival of the court. Asadachi left Ohiroma and went to Isehime's apartment. Before the court, he communicated with the former heir of Konoe and the song and the poem, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party, and he was in tune with it most of the time. Although Isehime was born into a samurai family, she still had some contact with Japanese songs and poetry. Chaoding communicated with her very harmoniously.

Isehime usually communicates with Kita all the time, and the others, such as Guidie and Naoto, don't have a common language with them at all. Guidie and Naohu either practice justice or study the tea ceremony in the tea room on weekdays. Ayahime, on the other hand, had to take care of the dragon girl and didn't have much contact with other side rooms. The loneliest is only Feng Ji, since she became the side room of the court, she has not been valued by the court, which also has something to do with the current Satomi family.

The reason why the long-tail view room can provoke the army at this time is not unreasonable. He had already calculated that the court would not be able to send a large number of troops into Echigo to quell the rebellion. Hojo in Sagami, Satomi in a bitter battle in Kamisao, Ashikaga Fuji in Shimono and others had already made it impossible for the Asada to draw enough troops to support Echigo's Banner Mite. Moreover, the Echigo side did not have a designated flag head, which means that once the war began, the Echigo side did not have a formally appointed commander-in-chief. Although the Echigo side left important ministers such as Honjo Minoru and Naoe Keitsuna, they did not have the right to command the dragon maiden's Banner Otee, and this banner army could only be mobilized by her.

The large-scale rebellion of Kamiso continued, and Satomi Sakyosuke could only hold on to his existing territory for the time being, and had no spare ability to defeat the rebels. According to the investigation of Deura Shengqing, it is no accident that the former Chiba retainers of the former Shogunku have appeared in the country. And the remnants of the Chiba family, such as Shiizaki Katsunobu, Kiuchi Yinken, Osuka Masaki, and Ino Keishin, have occupied Truth Valley Castle and pose a threat to Kururi Castle, the base of the Satomi family. The remnants of the Furukawa shogunate also gained a firm foothold in Shimono Kunita Castle under the leadership of Ashikaga Fuji, Ryoda Harusuke, and Ryoda Mochisuke. Takei Katsuden, Ishizaki Yuki, Yakushiji Sadamura, etc., who served the public, also participated in the battle. For a time, the Furukawa Shogunate Army still had considerable combat power.

The situation in the Kanto region is still tense, the war continues, and the world is still not peaceful.
