Chapter 174: Change of Family Governor
Since the Takeda family's home base, Kai Province, was invaded once by the Shangshu soldiers sent by the court, although it was not completely copied, some important people such as the Oyamada family, the Katsunuma family, the Kato family, and the Yagawa family were still beaten to the bone. In order to vent his evil anger, Takeda Shingen sent an envoy to ask the Gohojo family to intervene, so that the Uesugi family's power on the Boso Peninsula would be dealt a blow.
Unfortunately, shortly after Mamoru Kuroda was beheaded. Among the other four, Hashima Uchizo and Saijo Saemon were captured by Okamoto's naval forces in a coastal village due to their sneaky behavior in Anbo Province and sent to Kawagoe Castle. The other Nakajo Uemon and Hiratsuhara Jiro were also sent to Kawagoe Castle shortly after Kamizu Castle was captured by Itaya Mitsuyin. The four of them were ordered to be beheaded before they saw the court, and their heads were sent to the temple to be built into the Kyokan.
Kasahara Dingkatsu's beheading of Kuroda Tanba Mamoru is a bit of a suspicion of 'killing people' and flattering Asada, but he is also helpless. After all, Bai Bei's previous fiasco under Heyue City directly led to a major blood change. This was followed by a battle with the Takeda Army, and it was not easy for him to keep the 2,000 army by now.
On the 22nd day of the seventh month of the first year of Eiroku, the former heir of Konoe, who was commissioned by the court, asked him to let the imperial court intervene in the war between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Chokei. As the former heir of Konoe used his identity as the 'chief of the imperial court' and Sekihaku, the imperial court mediated the battle of Kita-Shirakawa between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Chokei. Miyoshi Nagakei, as the leader of the government, should not be able to fight the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Therefore, with the intervention of the imperial court, the Miyoshi army withdrew from Kyoto. On the other hand, Miyoshi Nagakei was reappointed as a repair doctor who stepped down from Fujiwara Chaosada.
And Chao Ding is not willing to give up the official position he has held for so many years. However, thanks to the relinquishment of his position as a repair doctor, Ashikaga Yoshiteru sent someone to send the Imperial Servant after he re-entered the Nijo Imperial Palace. The shogunate recognized the right of the Fujiwara Dynasty to crusade against the unsubordinate ministers of the Ueno, Shimono, Musashi, Kamiso, Shimoso, Anbo, and Sagami countries in the Kanto region. And also responded to the incident of the Ashikaga Yoshishi clan and the Ashikaga Fuji clan 'colluding with each other and attempting to rebel' in the previous dynasty-'The Kanto and Kamakura clans were abolished, and the Imagawa Osabu Daisuke clan was appointed as the Kamakura deacon. Later, the shogunate also sent the appointment of the court as the guardian of the four kingdoms of Anbo, Kami, Shimono, and Shimono. This gave the court the banner of legal possession of these four countries from now on.
In the next two days, Akechi Mitsuhide also presented 1,000 Kan Yongle coins to the imperial court in lieu of the court as the cost of repairing the imperial palace. Konoe's former heir immediately persuaded the emperor to write down a decree that would give the court the right to crusade against the rebels in Hokuriku, Kanto, and Tohoku. And this decree is like a 'life talisman' for Ashikaga Fuji, Mogami Yoshimori, Date Harumune and others. Their good days are coming to an end soon.
At the same time that Kakizaki Keiya, Usami Dingmi, and other Uesugi generals in Okushinano were about to storm Kaizu Castle, the Jodo Shinshu in Noto and Kaga began to act.
Sugiura Genren, a monk from Kaga Province, gathered more than 10,000 believers everywhere and prepared to march to Echichu. At this moment, in Vietnam, only a few Chinese lords who were close to the Uesugi family, such as the Tang people, Qin Guang, guarded it. Even if they could quickly piece together three to four thousand troops, it would be difficult to stop the tens of thousands of troops on Kaga's side. And that's not even counting the disciples of Nodeng.
However, fortunately, the Xuanyuan ninja reported for repair in time, and after discussing with Usami Dingman, Okuma Asahide and others, he immediately assembled 9,000 Echichu soldiers and hurried back to Echichu. The task of guarding the two counties of Minouchi and Takai was entrusted to Kanazu Yoshiko, Saito Asanobu and others. The Falling Water Castle garrisoned by Kojima Sada is the closest to Echichu. Kakizaki Jingjia sent a fast horse and asked him to lead his 1,000 troops into Vietnam to stabilize the situation.
On July 25, when Kenshin in Kawagoe Castle learned of the Pure Land Shinshu's army, he could only write a letter to Kakizaki Keijia first. The letter specifically mentions that when fighting against the Pure Land Shinshu, "you must pay attention to the large number of iron cannons of the disciples and ······."
In order to prevent the country of Vietnam-China from being seized by the Pure Land Shinshu, Kakizaki Keijia and Usami Dingmi, Okuma Chaohide, Dohi Masahiro and others jointly issued the 'Vietnam-Central General ******'. It is required that all ronin, peasants, ashigaru, equipment, grain and grass in the country of Vietnam and China should be integrated within half a month. Yuezhong is the barrier of Echigo, once the whole territory of Yuezhong is lost, then the forces of the Pure Land True Sect can wait for the opportunity to enter Echigo, which is also what the Echigo generals do not want to see.
On the one hand, Takeda Shingen transferred the main force of Okushinano's Uesugi army to Echichu with the power of the Pure Land Shinshu. On the other hand, he was ready to set about making peace with the Oda family. Previously, the Takeda family occupied the four counties of Kamo-gun, Kore-gun, Toki-gun, and Ena-gun in Mino-gun. Takeda Shingen also equipped a Nobunryu, Akiyama Nobuyomo and others in the four counties of Higashimino . However, it was Nobuyo Akiyama who served as the envoy of peace.
Akiyama Nobutomo was originally the banner leader of Minami Shinano Inazhong, and then defeated the Seven Families of Toyama (Iwamura, Naeki, Myochi, Akisho, Kushihara, Iiba, and Yasaki) in Higashimino's strategy. Nobuyo Akiyama also took possession of the main chamber of the deceased lord of Iwamura Castle, Toyama Keiren. And the main room of the distant mountain Jingren is Oda Nobunaga's beautiful uncle Naonokata. In this way, Akiyama Nobutomo has enough money to negotiate terms with Oda Nobunaga.
As the two most powerful Iwamura and Miaomu of the seven families in the distant mountains, their choices are different. Since Naoru Toyama, the lord of Naoki Castle, was married to Oda Nobunaga's own sister, he fled with his family to seek refuge in the Oda domain after the defeat. And the retainers of Iwamura Toyama were loyal to the Takeda family.
Takeda Shingen asked Akiyama Nobuyo to negotiate peace with the Oda family, and he also took a fancy to the fact that the Oda family was the suzerainty of the Matsudaira family, as long as the Oda family and the Matsudaira family were stabilized, then the Takeda family would be able to gather enough strength to fight the Uesugi family after another year or two of recuperation, so as to decide the outcome of the battle. As long as the Uesugi family is defeated, the Takeda family will be able to quickly capture Echigo, Echichu, Ueno and other countries. He didn't want to fight the Uesugi family in a decisive battle with enemies on all sides.
Although Takeda Shingen's wishful thinking played well, he forgot the most important point - the Uesugi family's mobilization ability.
Once Takeda Shingen forced Kenshin and Asadaki to be in a hurry, then the total number of pieces of paper ****** down, then its total strength would be several times that of the Takeda family. Although the Takeda family Kai, Suruga, Izu, most of Enoe, and most of Shinano, the foundations of Enoe and Suruga were completely unstable. As long as Asadaku sent a large number of troops into Suruga, a large number of local samurai would defect.
Compared with Takeda Shingen's tricks one after another, Asadachi didn't care too much about it, but he made a very amazing move - to make Koyama Hidetsuna accept Sanada Masayuki as his adopted son and give up the position of monk governor.
As for why the court decided to let Sanada Masayuki, a person from the Shino clan, inherit the Koyama family from the Fujiwara Kita family Xiuxiangliu. The reason for this is that the Uesugi family has only occupied the entire territory of Shimono Province for a short time, and the most important thing is to quickly digest and settle down. In addition, Sanada Masayuki has not been by the side of Asada, so it is time for him to try his hand as a lord.
Shimono Province is not particularly dangerous, with the Nasu Prefecture to the north, the Ashikaga Prefecture and Ryota Prefecture to the west, and the Shimosoku Province to the south. And within the Xiaoshan family, only Xiaoshan Gaochao, the governor who had long since retired, was dissatisfied. As for the brothers Hidetsuna Koyama and Hidetaka Tomioka, they have also seen the ability of the Uesugi family to use force to flatten the forces of the country. They will not be stupid enough to go face to face the Uesugi family in the public capacity for the glory of their family and the Kanto Prince.
On July 29, Sanada Masayuki left Kawagoe Castle on the orders of the court and came to the outside of Koyama's home base. When he came, the Xiaoshan family was terrified, for fear that he would neglect something. Except for Koyama Takachao, who did not come to greet Sanada Masayuki, the rest of the Koyama family can count all the famous people came. Among those who greeted him were the current governor of the Koyama family, Hidetsuna Koyama, the head of the Ichido Buntotaka (Hidetsuna Koyama's uncle), the lord of Tomita Castle, Hidetaka Tomioka (son of Hidetaka Tomioka), and Hideki Arakawa, a retainer. They are very warm to welcome Sanada Masayuki, at least they can continue to live in their hometown without being changed. Such a punishment is still acceptable to the Xiaoshan family, after all, there is not an inch of territory missing.
