Chapter 356: Yamauchi

In the third year of Yonglu, April 20th. Aizu Wakamatsu Castle Honmaru Ohiroma.

"Report to the lord, there are five people outside the city who want to go out of the Uesugi family, hoping to see you." Just when the court was still in the Daguang room to read the letters sent by the generals from all over the country, Mori Katsuhiro quickly entered the big wide room and reported to the court that there were five people outside the city who asked to see him.

"Where do they all come from? Where did you come from? How do you dress? Chao Dingding didn't raise his head and asked Maori Katsuhiro three questions one after another.

"They are all from Noshu, they are former retainers of the Iwakura Oda family, and they were previously from the stables under the command of Oda Danmasada, and their territory does not exceed fifty koku. As for wearing 。。。。。。 It's no different from a beggar and a homeless. The only thing that can claim their samurai status is the saber and the ribs on their bodies. Mori Katsuhiro then informed the visitor of the visitor's information.

"Nongzhou? Oda's courtiers are interesting. Chao Ding smiled and put down the book in his hand and said.

"Did the lord let them into the city?" Mori Katsuhiro didn't want to come into contact with such people, but as a samurai, he was dressed in tatters, and even the weapons in his hands were shabby.

"Then let's see." Chao Ding thought to himself that there was nothing important at the moment anyway, and it didn't hurt to see him.

"Yes." Mori Katsuhiro immediately retired.

At the same time, Wakamatsu Castle was outside the big hand.

"Elder brother, will he meet me and wait?" Yoshisuke next to Iemon asked.

"I've come all the way from Nongzhou to Huijin, and the town government will definitely see me." Iemon said with an oath.

"But, brother, if we weren't wearing tattered clothes and holding weapons in our hands, I'm afraid no one would treat us as samurai!" Yoshisuke said with a wry smile.

"In order to get ahead, for fame, and in order to restore the family name of the Yamauchi family in Oshu, we must find ways to get out of the Uesugi family." After Iemon finished speaking, he touched Yoshisuke's head.

After a while, Mori Keihiro came to the outside of Aizu Wakamatsu Castle and asked them to unload all their weapons and hand them over to Ishigguchi Hiromune, who was in charge of guarding the Otemon Gate, and then slowly walked into the castle.

A total of six of them, including Mori Katsuhiro, walked into the Honmaru of Wakamatsu Castle. For the other five, it was their first long trip in their lives, but probably because of their nervousness, they didn't feel tired at all.

After leading the five people into the Great Hiroma, Mori Katsuhiro walked to Asada's side and waited for Asada's instructions, while the other five fell to the ground together.

"Seeing Zun Yan is extremely pleasant. The Iwakura Oda family's old Yamauchi Tajima Morimori Mitsuo and Yamauchi Iemon Kazutoyo came to see the town government. Yamauchi Kazutomi said a little nervously.

"Yamauchi but Mamoru Yamauchi?" Chaoding was very unfamiliar with the name.

"Yamauchi Tajima Mori Toyo is the elder of the Iwakura Oda family's governor Oda Omi Mamoru Omi, and the Iwakura Oda family once occupied the land of the four upper prefectures of Oshu." Seeing that Asadachi was not familiar with the Ono region, Jieshan Yunkatsu immediately explained to Asada, Yamauchi Shengfeng and his main family, the Iwakura Oda family.

"It's really not easy to travel thousands of miles from Nongzhou to Aizu, and I have already felt your sincerity. But why did you come up with the Shimoto family instead of the Oda family and the Takeda family, which were in desperate need of people? Chao Ding asked after slowly opening the folding fan.

"All three of my father and brother died at the hands of Oda Dan Masadada, and I waited for the Uesugi family to make a contribution to the revival of the Yamauchi family." Kazutoyo Yamauchi explained the reason.

"It's interesting, but you should know that at the moment, the Oda family is still an alliance with the main family, and the sister of Oda Dan Masada is still my side room." Chao Ding couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"That's why I left the Oda family and came to Aizu Wakamatsu Castle. Sooner or later, the Oda family and the Uesugi family will have a war, and the Oda family is currently maintaining an alliance with the Takeda family, which has already destroyed the alliance with the Uesugi family. Previously, he also helped the Noto Chang clan to mobilize the people of Nengzhou. "Yamauchi Kazutoyo did his homework before coming to Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle.

"That's right, it's true that the Oda family and the main family had some unpleasantness. In this way, it is said that you used to have a territory of about 50 koku in the Oda family, and now you go to Miyakokan in the eastern branch of Sentoku Castle in the western coastal area of Miyakowan in Hokuritsu Oku to receive a 100 koku territory and serve as a concentric group. After that, it's up to you how you perform. "Asadachi doesn't plan to give more territory to Yamauchi Ichitoyo, after all, this person came from Oda Nobunaga's territory, and it cannot be ruled out that he was sent by Oda Nobunaga to work on his own internal work.

"Thanks to the great grace of the town government, we will do our best to serve the public." Kazutoyo Yamauchi then lay down on the floor and said.

"Well, that's up to you guys." Chaoding nodded and left Ohiroma. After a while, Yamauchi Kazutoyo and others also left Wakamatsu Castle.

"Lord, are you looking for me?" A young samurai dressed in a Wu costume came behind Chaoding.

"Carpenter Uemon, go and keep an eye on Yamauchi Iemon and the others, their families and relatives are all in Ono and other countries. If it doesn't work for me。。。。。。 Halfway through his sentence, he didn't continue.

"Understood, the minister immediately went to Qiande City." Kato Carpenter Uemon then retired and left.

"Oda Dan Masatada, it seems that there is always a fierce battle between you and me." Asadaki stood in the courtyard of Honmaru and muttered to himself.

At the same time that Yamauchi Kazutoyo obtained the 100-stone territory of Miyako, the court decided to let his former governor of the Asari family, Asari Noriyu, settle in the newly captured Sentoku Castle, and let him own more than 13,000 stone Zhixing land in the western part of Miyako Bay, such as Sentoku Castle and Tiansuo Castle, and the shipping around Miyako Bay and Yamada Bay was also under his jurisdiction.

Originally, the court wanted to give Asari Noriyu the rank of public servant, but in order to continue to maintain relations with the Andong family, he could only let Asari Noriyu first take part of the territory, and then slowly restore his status as a daimyo.

However, not long after Asarishi Noriyu entered the new territory with his son Asarishi Noriharu (Fan Ji) and nephews Asarishi Kiyocho (the eldest son of Asari Yoriharu), Asarishi Shigejin (the second son of Asari Yoriji), as well as a number of people such as the Asarishi Shige, Asari Gonzaemon, Asari Genbo and his retainer Maeyama Zensuke, the former retainers of the Tasuo family, the Sentoku family, the Shigeichi family, and the Tsugaru Ishi family gathered in the Tatakakimori Mountains. Former retainers of the Tasuo family, the Sentoku family, the Shigeruichi family, and the Tsugaru Ishi family are actively contacting the Tono Asonuma family and the Nanbu family, hoping to get their help in restoring the name of the main family.

And Nanbu Harimasa is very happy to support the Tasuo family, the Chitoku family, the Shigeru family, the Tsugaru Ishi family and other former ministers of the wealthy families around Miyako Bay. On the one hand, due to the remoteness of Guanyi County, the Uesugi family had only recently seized Tiansuo Castle, Sentoku Castle and other places, and their foothold was not stable, as long as they seized this place, then the southern family's southward expansion territorial plan could be restarted again. Nanbu Harumasa immediately ordered Noda Masatoshi, the lord of Noda Castle in Kunohe County, the lord of Kuji Castle, Kuji Nobuyoshi, Tanichi Castle lord Kazumori, and Ono Guhisa, the lord of Ono Castle, to lead more than 1,500 troops to the south to unite with the former retainers of the wealthy clans such as the Tasuo family, the Sentoku family, the Shimoichi family, and the Tsugaru Ishi family to invade the eastern part of the Tsui County.

After entering Sentoku Castle, Asari Noriyu thought that he would soon be given the status of a daimyo by the court, and now he already had more than 13,000 stone of knowledge, and he also controlled the shipping around Miyako Bay and Yamada Bay. As long as the eastern part of the county is properly managed, and then he makes a good victory, sooner or later Andong Aiji will spit out the annexed Bine County.

Subsequently, Qianli Zeyu began to divide the territory: Qianli Zezhi settled in Tiansuo City and received 5,000 stone Zhixing Land; Qianli Qingchang settled in Gencheng and received 500 stone Zhixingdi; The shallow and heavy relatives settled in the Lili Pavilion, and received 500 stone Zhixingdi; The Asarishi Shige's settled in the Miyako Museum and received 400 stone Zhixingdi; Sari Gonzaemon settled in the Yamada Pavilion and received 500 stone Zhixingdi; Qianli Xuanfan Cheng settled in the box stone city (northeast of Zaochi Peak Mountain) and received a thousand stone Zhixing land; Maeyama Zensuke settled in Fukadokan (located between Mt. Tatakakimori and Mt. Hayikemine) and received 500 koku Chiyuki.

On April 25, the former ministers of the wealthy families around Miyako Bay, such as the Tian Suo family, the Sentoku family, the Shimoshi family, and the Tsugaru Ishi family, planned to mobilize the countrymen, but they were still discovered by Asari Noriyu. When Asari Noriyu learned of this, he immediately sent his retainers to Aizu Wakamatsu Castle to report the emergency, and at the same time asked for help from the Uesugi retainers, including Namba Kenji, the lord of Namba Castle, the lord of Ono Castle, Mori Keihiro, the lord of Okashi Castle, the lord of Okashi Castle, the lord of Tsurukankan, Oshiki Tsukiri, the lord of Kokaku Castle, and the lord of Iwakiri Castle, Kanhee Mitsutoshi, and other Uesugi retainers.
