Success in secret, defeat in leakage. This is the most classic aphorism for thousands of years.

Under the orders of Nagao Keibo, Kaneko Naotsuna, Oseki cronies and other Ueda people blocked all the passages between Echigo and Ueno. A large number of defenders were dispatched to the four outposts of the Three Kingdoms Card, the Fire Card, the Tsutaru Card, and the Shimizu Card, and even the Tsukuka connected to Aizu had more than 100 defenders stationed there.

There are also people in Ueda who are reluctant to follow Nagao Keibo, and one of them is Noborizaka Kiyotaka. Although he was a genealogical retainer of the Ueda Nagao family, his relationship with the Kanya family was not ordinary, and he informed the lord of the castle in Chuetsu about the news that the Ueda people were about to move.

There are also Chinese people who remain neutral but have always been in contact with the long-tail view house, such as Zhuang Tian Dingxian. Shoda Dingxian was not ready to betray the Uesugi family, nor did he have the consciousness to join the camp of Nagao Jingfang. He could only give way and transport grain, grass or ordnance when the incident at the Longtail View House was in trouble.

As one of the best generals in Echigo, his martial arts are not much worse than those of Kakizaki Keike and Honjo Shigenaga. However, his castle forms a triangle with Saka Castle and Zao Castle, and the castle is in the lower left corner. Therefore, as soon as the war comes, the Gan Li Army and the Naoe Army can be horns against each other. Yasuda Castle, located in the southwest of Kaggata Castle, can also be reached in a day.

Oseki's cronies wanted to stay in the same boat as Nagao Keibo, but his son, who became the adopted son of Kenei Mizuhara (the Manchu family), had a different idea than he did. The second son of Daseki's cronies, Mizuhara Qinxian, was sent to Yangbei to be adopted by Mizuhara Kenyong, and his sister-in-law, Daeki Shengxian, participated in the camp of Nagao Jingfang with him.

Kaneko Shangzuna, Oseki cronies and others also fought against them after the old Ueda Nagao family, the old country of the old country, Hikogoro. The next thing is that Kokubun Hikogoro went to persuade the important ministers of the old Ueda Nagao family, Onida Shikibu Shaosuke, to fight together.

Thankfully, Kanethiro Higuchi has long been transferred to Dewa. Otherwise, according to his tendons, he would definitely join the camp of the long-tail view room with his former colleagues.

After Minoru Honjo met with Naoe Keitsuna, he immediately met with Kagan Keiji, Yasuda Keimoto, Yasuda Nagahide, Mizuhara Kennaga, Yamayoshi Toyomori and others. After a brief discussion, they elected Honjo as the commander-in-chief of Central Vietnam, and he was to lead a plate of scattered lords against Nagao Jingfang.

Honjo Minoru did not refuse, he knew that at the critical moment, there were few people who could do it except for himself and Naoe Jingzuna. He had Toyomori Yamamoto garrison Hirosekan in the south of Tochio Castle to hold back the rebels who were heading north from Ueda; Yasuda Keigen was responsible for fighting against the Kamijo Army in the area of Yasuda Castle and Hojo Castle; Naoe Jingzuna is responsible for dragging the small country Yorihisa; Kasumi Keichi is responsible for supporting Tochio Castle and Saka Castle at all times; Yasuda Nagahide and Mizuhara Kenaga were in charge of fighting the renegades of the Yohoku; Toyomori Yamayoshi was in charge of holding down Minoru Shimojo······

This series of arrangements of Honjo Minoru is all for the sake of one word 'drag'. He didn't think he could defeat Nagao Jingfang, but he could try to hold him back and not let him occupy Nakatsu and Kamietsu. However, Minoru Honjo and others did not know that the daimyo such as Takeda, Hojo, and Daihoji were all related to Nagao Keibo, and even Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who was in Kyoto, 'admired' Nagao Keibo, and asked him to serve as the guardian of Echigo and Sado.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's appointment of the position of guardian of Nagao Keibo is completely 'overstepping'. As the general of Zhengyi, he can't directly intervene in the affairs of the various orders in the country, and the position of guardian still needs the nod of the guard.

The rebellion of Nagao Jingfang also helped Uesugi Asada.

On April 2, the Asadai announced the formation of the 'Takejakuwei', whose headquarters were set up in Ninjo. And the head of the 'Takejaku's 'Takejaku's 'Takejaku Guard' is concurrently held by the 'Ninja Guard' Kato Duanzo. The first branch of Takejakuwei was established in Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle Sannomaru. The Aizu branch was headed by Morikiyo Deura.

The original intention of the establishment of the Bamboo Guard was to monitor the people, wild samurai, and new retainers. There was no excuse or reason to establish it before, and now that the rebellion of Longtail Jingfang has been put on the agenda, then the intelligence agency must be more perfect. The court needed an intelligence organization like the later 'Gestapo' and 'Stasi'.

'Zhuquewei' is modeled on Jinyiwei and has the right to set up a prison. If it is found that there is an intent to rebel, a person who colludes with the daimyo of another country, a person who forms a gang without authorization, a person who carries out **** in his territory, and a person who takes in a rebel and a fellow party without authorization, etc., it is allowed to be arrested, but it cannot be immediately executed, and the execution and execution require the consent of the master.

The above is only internal. Externally, the Takejaku Guards need to use their ninja specialties - gathering intelligence, assassinating and plotting against rival daimyo ministers. Collecting intelligence requires them to collect information about the surrounding daimyo and all the retainers of the country's families from top to bottom, information on weapons and equipment, information on economic income, and so on.

At present, the most important thing for Zhuquewei is not external investigation and internal surveillance. They have a very important task, that is, to find a way to intercept the Echigo Xuanyuan ninja and invite them to the ninja city to gather for 'tea'. Chaoding didn't want the news that Nagawei Jingfang was preparing to raise troops to spread further, which would make people panic up and down Kanto when the time came.

The starting point of the court is good, but the long-tail view room wants to expand the scope even further.

On April 5, Nagao Keibo bought the land of Tsumari Township, Uonuma County, Echigo, for 100 taels of 'Koshu gold'. Based on the principle of 'accepting money from people and doing things for people', Kaneko Tadashi immediately offered his loyalty to Nagao Keibo, and he would suppress the Biwa Island Hiroshi of Biwa Hanging Castle when Nagao Keibo went out to fight Banjo or Tochio Castle.

In a short period of time, Nagao Keibo will also buy the Kuwatori people of the Joetsu Kingdom, and its leader, Saikyo Saburo Uemon, will also attack the Uesugi family checkpoints and castles in various parts of Joetsu in the near future.

Kaneko Tadashige and Saikyo Saburo Uemon were bought to work for Nagao Jingfang, and there was one in Kamohara County who took the initiative to find Nagao Jingfang and wanted to work for him - Tozitai.

Toshitai is now the lord of Mikachi Castle (located in the northeast of Shibata Castle) in Kambara-gun, and the Shibata Castle Dai, he was originally a member of the Nakajo family of Yangbei Zhongbitou, but neither Asadashi nor the Dragon Girl let him inherit the Nakajo family, but let the old Taida Shimasa of the Asada pen family go to marry the daughter of Nakajo Fujishi, and Toshitai has always held a grudge for this matter. Dong Zitai didn't have a simple and straightforward rebellion like the others, he has been waiting for an opportunity. It wasn't until the exit of the long-tail view house that Dongzitai found that his opportunity had arrived.

Even if Tozitai himself took the initiative to join the camp of the long-tail view-house, he would also serve as the commander of the Agano Riverside Nusa Castle and the lord of Sawakai Castle, Motoi, and let him join the camp of the long-tail view-house.

Echigo Province is calm and peaceful on the surface, but there is an undercurrent underneath the quiet water.

The Echigo direct commissioners also smelled the smell of gunpowder in various places. The three of them, while sending someone to report to Minoru Honjo and Goemon Kurata, were the commissioners of Kasuga Yamashiro Castle Town, Tojo Sado Mamoru and Goro Kuruda Saemon to report to Kanto.

Just when Nagao Jingfang frantically summoned his fellow party to expand his strength, Minoru Honjo, Naoe Keixuna and others were not idle. Naoe Keitsuna, Yasuda Nagahide, Yasuda Keimoto and others persuaded the lord of Takajo Castle, Nagao Fujikei, to send troops to help.

As the lord of Takajo (northeast of Tochio Castle), one of the generals of the Shichiju-gumi, a family member and an elder, Nagao Fujikei understands the situation very well. However, as one of the banners, he could not openly transfer troops to support Minoru Honjo and others. However, Nagao Fujikei came up with a way: to send his important ministers Nagao Kori and Thunder City Castle to Murata Hideyori. In this way, it became Nagao Kosato's 'unauthorized' dispatch of troops, and there was no such thing as Nagao Fujikei himself sending troops without authorization.

Nagao Keizhi (Shiina Keinao), who was in Echichu, also turned his adoptive father Shiina Yasuin against him, and also turned some of the indigenous lords of Echichu into allies of Nagao Keibo through his adoptive father Shiina Yasuin.

When the envoys of the congregation, Tojo Sado Mamoru and Goro Zoemon of Zangda, arrived at Musashi Matsuyama Castle on April 10, Nagao Keibo raised his troops on this day.

Nagao Jingfang had long expected that what he had done would be known to the Followers, the Generational Members, and the Banner Members, and he would have to gather enough strength to raise his troops, otherwise he would be easily defeated.
