Chapter 172: Marriage
Just after Namba Tian Kenji successfully led his army into Sagami Tsukui County, Takeda Shingen was also ready to withdraw his troops.
The reason why Takeda Shingen was ready to withdraw his troops was that he learned of Kai's attack, and the families of Koyamada, Kato, Katsunuma, Sone, and Yatsukawa in the Takeda retainers' regiment all suffered varying degrees of losses. In particular, the two families of Oyamada and Kato, they have not a single grain left in their collars, and all the farmland has been trampled. Not only that, but the Takeda family even suffered a loss of their own financial income. The holes of the two gold mines, Otsuki Kanezan and Akiyama Kanayama, were destroyed and all the miners fled, and it was impossible to continue mining and refining for a short time.
Thousands of miners in Otsuki and Akiyama had to flee to Uesugi for their livelihood. They then poured into Sagami Tsukui-gun, which was controlled by the Uesugi family. Instead, they became new residents of Tsukui-gun, and the aborigines were all moved into the southern prefectures of Musashi.
In order for the "two-mountain system" in Takeda's family not to collapse, Takeda Shingen had to immediately lead his army back. This made the situation of Naito Nobunari, who was already stretched thin, even more embarrassing. He could only scold Takeda Shingen in his heart for not being a thing.
With the retreat of the Takeda army and the continuous increase of the Uesugi army, Numata Yumitsu, Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki and others launched a general attack on Nishiueno with 3,000 troops and 500 horseback samurai.
On the 13th of July, just after the Uesugi army launched a fierce assault on the castles of Nishi-Ueno controlled by the Takeda family, Sanada Yutaka's Ichigan Kamaharara Shigeharu was taken by Nagano Yegu, the lord of the Nagano family's Takashi Castle. Nagano Yoshimasa became the last straw that crushed the Takeda family's Nishi-Ueno ancestors. With the Uesugi family's Uesugi family, Kibe Masatoshi handed over the Kusatsu card to the Uesugi army, and conquered the 10,000-seat card, which sealed all the roads for the Takeda army to retreat to Okushinano.
In just a few days, Nishi-Ueno Shokata's Shirakura Saemonsa, Shirakura Munekatsu, Honjo Kinchao and others abandoned Naito Masatyo and retreated to Shinano. And Naito Masatoyo could only gather the defeated army with his retainer Tomono Juro Saemon to the Tashiro Pavilion for the final struggle. Naito Masatoyo knew very well in his heart that once he escaped into Koshin, then it was very likely that all the positions he had before would be lost, and by the way, he would also be the elder brother of the Takeda family. This makes Naito Masatoyo very entangled at the moment.
When Nanbu Dingxiu learned of Naito's situation, he immediately asked Asadachi to let Ueno's Uesugi army delay the offensive and give Naito Masatoyo a way to live.
"Nanbu Shimono, what is the relationship between Naito and you? Why save his life at this moment? You must know that if Naito repairs and take it at this moment, it will be a very big blow to the Takeda family. Sanada Masayuki, who was beside Asada, was a little dissatisfied with Nanbu Dingxiu, and he didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to save Naito Masatoyo on a whim. Sanada Masayuki doesn't think that Naito Masato's survival will be of any benefit to the Uesugi family, after all, Naito Masato's brother Kudo Masasuke is a member of the Takeda family, and he serves as the banner leader of the Izu people, and his status can be said to be very high.
"My lord, if Naito is rescued and slightly transferred to us, the blow to the Takeda family will still be very big. Don't look at his brother as a member of the Takeda family, but he won't forget Takeda Jingzhao's revenge for killing his father. Nanfang Dingxiu's words whetted Chaoding's appetite.
"Interesting, go on." After hearing Nanbu Dingxiu's analysis, Asaki felt that Naito Masatoyo was not the kind of loyal minister who was determined to die, so the probability of taking him for his own use was still very high.
"The lord didn't know that before the Kudo brothers fled Kai, their father had risked giving them travel expenses and allowing them to escape Kai. Otherwise, he would have been poisoned by Takeda Jingzhao a long time ago. His subordinates also had a good personal relationship with them, and with these mistakes, he was able to convince Naito to repair to his own family. "Nanbu Dingxiu's purpose is very simple, he needs a few more samurai like him who hate the Takeda family, otherwise it is impossible for the Uesugi family to quickly destroy the Kai Takeda family quickly.
"The Takeda army is retreating, and I am afraid that the envoy of the Takeda family will come soon. At that time, the Takeda family should negotiate a truce with the main family. "Nagano is starting to guess the outcome of the war.
"That's right, the Namba squires have already made no castle intact in Kai Tsuru County than expected, no sentry post can be used, no farmland can prepare for the autumn harvest, and not a single grain and grass has grain and grass." Asadachi was very pleased that Kenji Namba had overfulfilled his mission, and he also learned from the ninjas sent by Kato Danzo that they had also 'abducted' a samurai lady.
"See the lord, this is the young lady of the Yatsukawa family - Midori Yaukawa." As soon as Kato Duanzo came in, he first let Midori Yaukawa, who was wearing twelve sheets, walk to the middle of Ohiroma, while he stood on the side.
"The little girl sees the town government." I have to say that Midori Yasukawa is really not bad, and it is very consistent with the title of "the first beauty in Koshu".
"I'm sorry for my retainers' behavior towards you, it's my lack of discipline." Chao Ding first looked at this flower-like woman, and then apologized to her.
"The town government is serious, if the little girl hadn't met the Uesugi army, it is very likely that she would have become the side room of Takeda Daizen." Midori Yasukawa couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said this.
"But Ling Zun Yau Chuan believes that there is only one daughter for you, and I am worried about Ling Zun's status and treatment in the future." Chao Ding said with a sigh.
"The Yatsukawa family is not the only one who suffers, the 'two mountains' Fang Xiaoyamada family and other Kai people should have suffered losses, and it may be much greater than the Yatsukawa family has one daughter less." Yau Kawa Green coped with it calmly, and she answered whatever Chaoding asked, which made Chaoding's favorability towards her increase a lot.
"My lord, the Nambada attendant has already arrived at Ninomaru." Soon, a samurai hurried to the door, and Nagano Yemori immediately ran to inquire about the situation before reporting to the court.
"Miss Yatsukawa, let's sit on the side for a while." Asadachi could only arrange for her to sit on the side first, and he had to wait for the biggest hero this time, Namba Kenji, to make an amazing move.
"My lord, my majesty has retired first." Kato Duanzo immediately guessed something, and immediately withdrew from Dahiroma, and Asadaki also acquiesced to his behavior.
After a while, Kenji Namba walked in wearing a dark black Jinhaoori with a black lacquered carcass, and he handed over the saber to Nagano Yoshimori for safekeeping and sat on the futon in the second seat. It's just that there is a very familiar woman on the other side who is a little uncomfortable.
"Namba Attendant, you have contributed the most to this Kai invasion, and the extent of the destruction of the prefecture has exceeded my expectations, and your reward is more special than the others." Asadaki said with a smile to Kenji Namba.
"The lord is serious, and the family of his subordinates has been loyal to the Ogiya Uesugi family for generations, and this is what should be done." Namba Tian Kenji felt creepy when he looked at Asada's 'kind' smile. He knew very well that it was the first time in all these years that Chao Ding had really shown such a smile, and he was still facing him.
"Squire, look at who is sitting across from you?" Chao Ding pointed to the oil river green who was sitting on the end with a folding fan.
"It seems to be the young lady of the Yatsukawa family, but I don't know who it is······" Kenji Namba began to feel that something was not quite right.
"Yes, it's just that I think she is very well-behaved in her gestures, and her appearance is also good, she is still known as 'the first beauty in Koshu', I think it is very suitable for your main room." As soon as Asada's words fell, Namba Tian Kenji almost jumped up. And the small surname standing on the side, the side such as Sanada Masayuki, Nagano Yemori and others are all secretly laughing.
"Lord, she is a woman from an enemy country, and it stands to reason that she can't intermarry! I'm afraid that's not right······" Namba Kenji always felt that he had been trapped, this was no longer a reward, it was no different from asking for his life.
"Miss Yasukawa, do you think it's inappropriate for the contemptible people to privately marry you to the family's important minister Nambada's attendant Kenji? If you're not satisfied, say it. "The court doesn't plan to give Namba Kenji a chance, Ota Zimasato has already had a son-in-law born, so Namba Kenji hasn't gotten married yet.
The little girl was very satisfied, and her father originally planned to give the little girl to Takeda Daizen as a side room, because not only was the land barren in the Kai Kingdom, but even most of the samurai families were poor. I want the little girl to marry Takeda Dashan is also to let the little girl have a good family. However, now that the town government is in charge, marrying the Nambada attendant is also a very good choice, and it is still the main room. Midori Yagawa didn't mind, and immediately agreed. After all, if he wants to marry Takeda Shingen, the result of the side room is nothing more than trying to give birth to a boy and a girl for him all day long, and he has to seduce him all the time. These are all things that Midori Yakawa doesn't want to do. However, due to the intervention of the court, she can become the main room of the Uesugi family's quasi-sect Nambada Kenji, and she will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
"Nambada squire, don't have a bitter face, be happy." Asada wanted to laugh when he looked at Namba Tian Kenji's bitter melon face, but he still held back. He then said to Midori Yasukawa, "Don't worry about Miss Yasukawa's residence, Kogoshi Castle will build a 'Yaukawakan' for you to live in in a short period of time, and if the Nambada attendant is disrespectful to you or wants to take a leave of absence, you can come to me." ”
"Thank you, the town lord." Youkawa Midori has made a lot of money now, not only does he have the identity of the Uesugi family's important minister, but he can also openly and honestly manage Namba Tian Kenji's wife.
