Chapter 227: The Sand Yue Rebellion
In November of the first year of Eiroku, the Shonai Daihoji family, a branch of the Shonai Daihoji family, received the support of the two daimyos of Kitadewa Ando and Tozawa, and decisively raised a rebellion against the Uesugi family. The rebellion of the Saragoe clan can be said to have calculated that the Uesugi family raised troops under the premise that there were not many defenders in the village and there were no strong reinforcements to support them.
The Saragoe clan was an outsider who migrated from Kanto or Kinai during the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Muromachi period, and after suppressing the local forces, they developed their power in the city. As early as the tenth year of civilization (1478), the then ruler of the Shinano clan received Shinano Mamoru's official career from the shogunate ("Ninagawa Kinmoto Diary", but this Shinano Mamoru official career was recommended by the shogunate and obtained from the imperial court).
Although the Murayama-gun and Mogami Prefecture of Minamiidewa Katsunaga, Okawa Tadahide, and Tsukiji Shitoyo were transferred from Echigo to the past to effectively promote the northern lords, they would not act rashly until they received an order from Kenshin or the court. However, the Onodera family's support for the Uesugi generals in Shonai was also very limited.
First of all, the Tozawa family bordered the Hongdo family, a vassal of the Onodera family. The head of the Tozawa family, Tozawa Michimori, sent a major minister of the family, Tozawa Masashige, to lead an army of 3,000 to the south to attack the Hongdo family, a subordinate of the Onodera family. And the relatives of the main hall are just a small wealthy family, how can they resist the menacing Tozawa army? Immediately, the main temple court relatives opened the gates of the main hall castle and surrendered to Tozawa Masashige. It would have been fine if the Hondo court had been able to resist the Tozawa army for a while, but the problem was that he surrendered without firing a shot. As a result, the Rokugo family behind Hondo Castle was exposed to the Tozawa Army. The Rokugo family, like the Hondo family, is also a small wealthy family subordinate to the Onodera family, and if the main hall leader became the front line, the territory of the Rokugo family would not suffer, and the Rokugo family would also have some time to prepare for the cage castle or send troops to support the Hondo family. However, the reality is brutal. With the surrender of the Hondo court, the Rokugo family became the first line of defense for the Onodera family against the invasion of the Tozawa army.
When the Tozawa family invaded the Onodera family, the Satsugoshi family was not idle, and they did not nest in the castle and wait for death. Sarakoshi Yasaki (whose daughter is Anton Aiji Masamuro) led an army of 500 to capture Shintame Castle of the Waiji family (Kiji's family), cutting off the connection between Sakata Castle and the Kuiji family and the Ikeda family. Ikeda and Tsujiro were isolated.
And the people in the village who were set to form Echichu and Noto with the dynasty were Tozenji, Tosabayashi, Ikeda, and Takasaka, and even Shimazu Tadanao and Usami Dingkatsu, who had only been transferred for a long time, also went out with the court to form Echichu and Noto. At present, only six people in the village can mobilize troops to defend the Shonai area, including Shigeta Shigeie, the lord of Oura Castle, Fujita Nobuyoshi, the lord of Okuni Castle, Kohata Keizune, the lord of Sakata Castle, Suda Mitsukin, the lord of Iwai Dekan, Yoshiki Abe, and Takasaka Masanobu, who remained behind in Takasakakan.
"Report to Inaba Temple! The two divisions of the Ando Army, Shirane and Ishizuka, have landed on the shore west of Kanno Castle! ”
"Report to Inaba Temple! The Andong Army has captured the unguarded Kanno Castle! ”
"Report to Inaba Temple! The Sarawa-Vietnamese army has captured Nittamme Castle! ”
As one scout after another came to Opo Castle to report the news, the Shinbata Shigeya who was sitting on the mazar became more and more ugly.
"Elder brother, the only way to do this now is to get reinforcements from Salmon Yandian Shan Zheng and Sebu Hall as soon as possible!" At this time, Sasaki Harunobu, the cousin of the Shigata Shigeie, walked up to the Shibata Shigeya and suggested.
"It's not that simple! The Yamafudo of Haguro has already detected that the rebellion of the Satsushi family is related to the Mogami family, and if Sebe Hall and others lead an army to help, then the Mogami family will join forces with Date, Osaki, Kasai and others to attack Murayama County and Mogami County, then the situation will be even more critical! Shigejia shook his head and said.
"Shall I just stand still?" Harunobu Sasaki failed to understand what Shigeta Shigee Shinhata meant.
"Now all the powerful lords of Yangbei are marching west with the town palace hall, and the Jiadi hall that stayed behind has also transferred the army under its leadership to the Kasuga Mountain Castle garrison to prevent the Takeda army from attacking. I'm in the current situation, so I can only stand still! Xinfa Tian said angrily.
"Inhata Temple, I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the Den Shan Masashi will also be a drop in the bucket for us. I just got the news that the Tozawa army has captured the Hondo family, and Onodera Yayuden's main force is leading the main force of the Onodera army to hold on to it. "Shinbata Tsunayuki (Shinbata family retainer) slowly walked into the Ohiroma and said a piece of news that the Shinbata Shigeko didn't want to hear.
"There are only more than a thousand defenders in the city, and the defense is still insufficient, let alone put down the rebellion in the city······" Harunobu Sasaki no longer has the heart to go out of the city to fight.
"Most of the people in the village have marched west with the town palace, and there are not many retainers and wealthy families left behind. Over the years, the influence of the Andong family on Dewa has become more and more great, although the Yuri Twelve Heads are currently neutral, but sooner or later some wealthy families will join Andong and attack Shonai from Yuri County! Xinfa Tian Tsunayuki said helplessly.
"The Suda Sagami Moriden of Sakata Castle is recruiting ronin, and now the defenders in Sakata Castle are equal in number to the number of defenders in Oura Castle." Shibata Shigejia can only sigh that Arira Port is different, even if Suda Mitsumi embezzles the port's taxes without authorization, no one will blame him.
"Lord Kohata of the small country city is leading an army of five hundred, and it is estimated that there will be three days before he arrives at Opo Castle." At this time, Shinbata Shengxi (Shinbata Shige's cousin) hurriedly ran into the big room.
"Kagawa Castle!" Suddenly, Shigeta Shigeya roared and ran to the map placed in the middle of the big wide room, startling everyone in the big wide room.
"What's wrong with my brother?!" Harunobu Sasaki and Moriki Shinbata immediately walked to Shigeya Shinbata and asked.
"Shimazu-sama marched west with the town palace, and Kagawa Castle was unguarded! There's no way Saragoe didn't know about it! If Kagawa Castle is captured by the Sarawa-Yue army, we will be completely isolated! Shigeya Shinbata suddenly thought of the worst-case scenario.
"What I ignored from the beginning was Kagawa Castle! Just staring at Ikeda and Ryji, but forgetting the most important lifeline! "Xinfa Tian Tsuna's anxious stamping feet.
"Sheng Xi, you immediately led five hundred city soldiers to Kagawa City. Harunobu, you run to Maruoka Castle once, and ask Fujita-sama to send troops to help defend Yokoyama Castle! Xinfatian Shigejia immediately came up with an emergency plan.
"Yes!" Harunobu Sasaki and Moriki Shinbata left Oura Castle immediately.
Although the Shibata Shigeya sensed the danger, they still did not expect the rapid action of the Satsushi family.
On November 19, the Saragoe Sosui led an army of 500 to capture the Tachikawakan and Mikawakan of the Tosa Rin family in just five days, isolating Sakata Castle. If it weren't for the slow pace of Shinbata Moriki's march, then Kagawa Castle would also fall into the hands of the Sakoshi family.
However, Kagawa Castle's Higashitashihiroyama was occupied by the Sarawatsu army, and supplies from Murayama and Mogami were unable to reach Shonai. Shigeta Shigeie and others could only maintain contact between Shonai and Murayama and Mogami Prefectures, and ordnance and supplies could only be delivered by land and sea by Echigo Yangbei.
The vanguard of the Andong Army, led by Shirane Masayoshi and Ishizuka Ieji, gradually expanded the scope of the invasion with Mt. Chokai as their main position. Not only was Kanno Castle captured, but they also occupied Fukiurakan (Kirairoku), which owned the port. In this way, the Anton Army had a special military port.
Toshima Shigemura, a retainer of the Minato family, also led 500 troops on the road, and along the unimpeded sea route, he could merge with the 1,000 Andong troops around Mt. Chokai in a few days.
At the same time, Okunoto's Matsuba Castle fell under the onslaught of 10,000 Uesugi troops. Hatakeyama Yoshito and other craftsmen committed suicide in Honmaru one after another, and their families were also slaughtered by the Uesugi army.
The "most chaotic and worst" Noto Ichigoku was finally pacified by the Uesugi family. The remnants of the Hatakeyama family, with the exception of Nagaren Ryu, who fled into Kaga with the remnants, were all exterminated by the Uesugi army. And Chaoding immediately ordered Tao Qingxian and others to withdraw from Noto, and he did not have time to attend the celebration banquet and evaluation meeting, and he was not even prepared to inform Toyama Castle's Kenshin.
November 20th, Moriji Castle Ohiroma.
"My lord, they may lose their ground because of the banners." Usami Dingkatsu walked up to Asada's side and whispered.
"If Shinbata loses ground due to Mamoru Hataru and others, of course, I am also responsible. If it weren't for the rush to the west, there would be no chance of rebellion if the people in the village were transferred out of the Sarayue family. Chao Ding said helplessly.
"Is it just that your injuries can march with the army?" Usami took advantage of Ikeda Morishu to take medicine on Asada, and looked at the injury on Asada's back.
"It's okay, it's going to hold on." Chao Ding said through gritted teeth.
"Lord Deura sent someone to send news that the Mogami family and the Sarakoshi family are inseparable from the rebellion." After Usami Dingsheng finished speaking, Asada's face changed.
"It seems that Yoshimitsu Mogami thinks that the territory of 15,000 stones is too much!" Asadachi originally remembered that the Mogami family was a famous family of the shogunate, and it was also a Hashu explorer, so he spared the Mogami family, but only reduced his territory to 15,000 koku. It's good now, and the local tycoons are also plotting rebellion!
"Since the Mogami family is involved in this matter, it is very likely that the daimyo of Oshu, such as Date, Osaki, Kasai, and Spo, will also intervene, and I am afraid that there will be another big war in the land of Owa." Usami said the worst.
"Aren't the two daimyos of Kitadewa Ando and Tozawa involved at the moment? The Date family and other Mutsu daimyo will definitely not sit idly by, and this is the perfect time for them to restore their old territory. I'm afraid that the color department repair and others will not be able to cope with it. Chao Ding vaguely felt that Yoshimitsu Mogami's game of chess was very big.
