Chapter 258: Minoru Honjo's Visit
Mogami Yoshimitsu entered Murayama County and was attacked and killed, and the back foot Asadachi issued the order of "Mogami Hunting". After the order of "Mogami Hunting" issued by the court, the retainers of the Mogami family who were hiding in various parts of Murayama County and Mogami County were successively searched and arrested by Tendo Yorizhen, Zuo Ze Xuanli and others. After that, the retainers of the Mogami family, Edo Gobei, Koyoshi Tokinao, Matsuda Tadasaku Tokihisa, Tsuchiya Hikozaemon, Yoshida Saime, Iwase and Izumi Mamoru, Kusakari Zensuke, Hahataya Kiyozaemon, Majima Saemon, Hino Hachiro, Hayashi Sei Tengsuke, Nitta Matamata Youwaimon, Onoda Yohachiro, Tada Right Ma Cheng Michihisa and others were collectively escorted to Tendo Castle to be beheaded in public.
Most of these retainers of the Mogami family who were searched for were envoys, small servants, toshi, fugashi, and fugami mufu, and although they couldn't make any big waves, they couldn't continue to exist in order for the Uesugi family to nationalize Murayama and Mogami guns. If they are spared, then there will be great resistance to the work of land seizure and destruction of the city (destroying the city that does not exist necessarily).
After Asada's successive attacks on the Kankawae family, the Shiratori family, the Mogami family, and the Date family, which had been based in the two countries of Ou for hundreds of years, Tozawa Michimori began to be afraid, fearing that he would also follow in the footsteps of the Mogami family and the Date family. Immediately, Tozawa Michimori ordered Tozawa Masashige to quickly withdraw his troops and return to Tozawa. And the main hall relatives who fell to the Tozawa family at the beginning were embarrassed at the moment.
Originally, the Tozawa army and the Onodera army fought inextricably in the territory of the Rokugo family, and the Hongdo court also put a few fires under the Rokugo Castle and looted many villages of the Rokugo family.
With the full withdrawal of the Tozawa army, the counterattack of the Onodera army also began at the same time.
The Onodera army, under the leadership of the fierce generals Hachibai Michiwei and Salmon Nobu Sadazuna, defeated the Hongdo Asami outside the main hall, and surrounded the main hall after taking more than 200 Hongdo troops.
And the relatives of the main hall did not forget to die and struggled, and sent people to ask the surrounding wealthy Bogang (Chenggang) family to rescue them. The Bogan family and the Hondo family are related by marriage, so without saying a word, the Bogang family led a hundred troops to the Hondo Castle. However, Hagan Bullet was ambushed by Hidemichi Otsukiji (the cousin of Onodera Terumi) in Shirasawa. In the fierce battle, the Bogang bullet is being captured by Michitoshi Nishino, and the rest are fleeing.
After the defeat of this reinforcement by Bogan, the Hondo court could no longer find anyone who could rescue him. Although there were two castles to the west of the main castle, Omaqu Castle and Tomaki Castle, which belonged to the Tozawa family, because Tozawa Michimori did not want to provoke the Uesugi family, the lords of the two castles did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch as Hondo Castle was surrounded by 2,000 Onodera troops.
On March 30, the isolated Hondo Castle was captured by the Onodera army, and the Hondo Asami, his sons, Hondo Tadajin, and Hondo Yoshibo all committed suicide by cutting their abdomen in Honmaru. Onodera Terumi turned the main area of Hondo Castle into his direct command, and the north side of Hondo Castle is a flat river, and it can reach the Tozawa family's main stronghold Kakunodate Castle in a short time. Moreover, the territory of the Rokugo family was also sandwiched in the middle of the Onodera domain, so that the Rokugo political rider had to look at the Onodeera family first.
The hard work of the Onodera family, Asada, is also in the eyes. After all, the Onodera family has held back the Tozawa family's southward pace. If the Onodera family were to fall to the side of the Minato family, Hiyama Anto, and Tozawa family, then the Uesugi family would lose part of Mogami and Murayama at best, and at worst lose all of Minami Dewa's territory, and it is very likely that the land of Yangbei would become a battlefield again. This is also what Chao Ding does not want to see.
Just when Onodera Terumi led the army to counterattack, Asadachi sent Kawada Nagajin to Yokote Castle and handed over the Anduku form and 2,000 eiraku coins to Onodera Terumichi. Asadachi also asked Kawada Naga to tell Onodera Terumi that it could be renamed "Onodera Keido".
Asada's purpose is to let Onodera Terumi work harder to guard the north side of the Uesugi family. Moreover, the daimyo who are also subordinate to the Uesugi family, such as Satoma Yoshiyin, Tamura Takaaki, Iwaki Kenshige (son of Uesugi Kenmasa), Mogami Kenkyi (son of Uesugi Kenmasa), etc., do not have this treatment, and they don't even dare to think about it.
However, before the court could divide the new territory, Minoru Honjo, who had arrived from Kasuga Mountain Castle, came to Wakamatsu Castle.
This surprised Chao Ding a little.
"Misaku Honjo?! Why are you here? As soon as Asadai learned of Honjo's arrival, he hurried to Ohiroma to meet him.
"Zhenfu Palace, you took in the Liushi, Ishiguro, Tanaka and others without permission, and the Imperial House Hall is very angry. And it led to the territorial dispute between the Ichikawa clan and the Izumi clan, and the Miyagata Hall directly judged that the Izumi clan won, and the Ichikawa clan has now been changed! Hundreds of their clan Lang party are coming to Aizu! The town hall and the palace hall have already planned to let you hurry to Kasuga Mountain Castle to explain! "Honjo is really in a hurry, and Chaoding is surprisingly calm.
"Oshinano's land inspection is still not thorough, if the land inspection is thorough, will the encroachment of the territory happen? Well, I'm also responsible for this. When the Ichikawa clan comes to Aizu, I will settle them. Chao Ding said helplessly.
"That's not the point! The key is how to explain it in front of the Imperial Palace. "Honjo is really anxious about the court.
"I have my own measure. I will put Yokoya Shohachiro by your side for the time being, and if there is something important, let him be the messenger. "Asadaki is definitely not going to Kasuga Mountain Castle. According to the current situation, once you go to Kasuga Mountain Castle, you may be able to lose arms and legs.
"I hope there won't be infighting in the Uesugi family. This will only benefit Takeda and Hojo's generation. "Honjo Minoru walked to the door of the big wide room, and he didn't forget to remind the court.
"I've written down what Misaku Mamoru said. Walking. "Chaoding doesn't want to really fight with Qianxin. In the past few months, I have fought with daimyo and countrymen lords such as Satake, Mogami, Date, Kanhee, Shiratori, etc., and no one will go to farm if they continue to fight.
Shortly after Minori Honjo returned to Echigo, Kanga Keiji defeated the Sado people at Mt. Kakuda and captured more than 600 men. Subsequently, Honma Takana, Honma Takanobu, Honma Yuyasu and others hurriedly led the remnants across the sea to return to Sado.
At the same time, Kenshin ordered Kanya Keimochi, Yasuda Keimoto, Nobosaka Kiyotaka, Mizuhara Takaie, Haguro Shinano, Nishiwakasa, Tomei Saemon, Kaneko Kosuke and others to lead an army of 4,000 to cross the sea to pacify Sado.
Among the countrymen of Sado, such as Hidetoshi Osakagami, Takahide Sawane, Shibuya Shintaka, Shibuya Makiyo (Shibuya Madaka's younger brother), and others had long been unaccustomed to seeing Shimoo Sado Mamoru , Honma Yamashiro Mamoru and Hamo Mikawa Mamoru and others inciting and invading the territory in their own territories, so they immediately received the Uesugi army in Ryotsu Bay, and also took the initiative to serve as the vanguard of the Uesugi army. In this way, the Sado crusade army composed of Gan Yai Keichi and others occupied the largest port in the north of Sado, Ryotsuminato, without blood.
Led by the lords of the Kita-Sado people, such as Hidetoshi Osakami, Takahide Sawane, Shibuya Masadaka, and Shibuya Makiyo, he set fire to Mt. Kohiei and defeated Mamoru Shimoo, Takashi Ie, Mamoru Honmayama Castle, and Mamoru Hamo Mikawa. However, Shimoo Sado Mamoru and other Sado people still had to oppose the Uesugi family, and after collecting the defeated army, they took up the camp in Irikawa Castle in the middle of Mt. Kongo and Mt. Konhoku, in a vain attempt to wait for reinforcements from Kawarada and Hashige.
However, if he wanted to attack Kagawa Castle safely, he first had to completely pacify Kamo County, one of the three Sado Prefectures, and only then could he ensure the stability of his rear. It can also make Shibuya, Sawane, Osakami and other Chinese lords trust the Uesugi family more and serve the Uesugi family wholeheartedly.
The northern part of Kamo County is the domain of the Shibuya family, which has reduced the pressure and burden of Kagan Keichi and others. The southern part of Kamo County is the domain of the Honma family of Hisachi. Although the Osaka family of one door fell to the Uesugi family, this does not mean that the Kuchi Honma family can completely stand on the side of the Uesugi family. As soon as he thought of this, Gan Liang Jingzhi planned to come to a good show of 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger' to show the governor of the Honma family, Honma Masayasu.
Before dawn the next day, Kanya Keimoto, Yasuda Keimoto, Noborisaka Kiyotaka, and Mizuhara Takaya led a 1,000-strong army to launch a surprise attack on Yoshii Castle. The city lord Hideshin Lanyuan was caught off guard, and even though his head was cut off by the Mizuhara Takashi family.
With Yoshii Castle falling to the Uesugi army, Honma Masayasu of Kuchi Castle began to sit still. At least I have long known that the influence of the Honma family in Kamo County is still not small, and the Lanyuan family guarding the important place in the west of Kamo County has been destroyed, and Honma Masayasu must not sit idly by.
Just when Kanya Keiji was about to order the Uesugi army to rest in Yoshii Castle, Shoban suddenly came to report that Honma Masayasu led the lord of Shiinari Castle, Miyaura Soshiro, the lord of Guayuya Castle, Nagoya Takama, the lord of Shinho Castle, and others gathered 800 troops from Kuchi Castle and were now rushing towards Yoshii Castle.
Gan Yu Keichi originally thought that the fall of Yoshii Castle would make Honma Masayasu clearly realize the gap in strength between the two families, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, making Honma Masayasu directly face his own sword soldiers. Thankfully, the wealthy clans who responded to Honma Masaya's troops poured out, and there were not many people left in their territory to guard the city. And this detail is sweet and bad Jingzhi in his eyes and happy in his heart.
Kaganya Keichi immediately sent Mizuhara Takaya and Nobosaka Kiyotaka together with the two families of Asakami and Ssawane to send troops to Akatama Castle and Matsunozaki Castle in the southern part of Kamo County. In the middle of Kamo County, Shinho Castle and Guayuya Castle were seized by Yasuda Keimoto and Kaneko University together with the Shibuya family.
