Chapter 128: Ashikaga Yoshiteru's Messenger
March 17 of the first year of Yongroku. Just after the old ministers of Satomi divided up the capital of the Satomi Domain, Hosokawa Fujitaka came to Kawagoe Castle with Ashikaga Yoshiteru's imperial subordinates. Prior to this, Asadai had already learned of the marriage between Takeda and Hojo, but it was not clear what Ashikaga Yoshiteru meant.
As a member of the public, Hosokawa Fujitaka is very effective in handling things. But after mediating the war between Takeda and Hojo, he rushed directly to Kawagoe Castle without stopping.
Hosokawa Fujitaka came as the general's messenger, and naturally he would not be neglected. Although Chaoding did not go out of the city to greet him in person, he asked the old Guangze of the family to go to greet him. Even the retainers Omori Fujiyori, Hosoya Shitoto, Honjo Shienaga, Saito Toshizo, and others who stayed in Kawagoe Castle went to Ohiroma to sit down and wait for Hosokawa Fujitaka's arrival.
Ota Shimasa and Namba Kenji, who were the 'double walls' under the command of Asada, and many retainers could not rush back, so Asadachi could only let the Imagawa people (Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, Asahina Shinji, etc.) and Imagawa Shinma come to listen to what Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to say.
"See the town government and the head of the government." As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka entered the big hiroma, he greeted Asada and Imagawa Shin with a smile.
"Excuse me, what is Hosokawa Daisuke coming to Kanto on this business?" Chao Dingpi asked with a smile.
"The Kyogong Palace has learned of the merits of the Uesugi family in Kyoto, and has issued a letter of commendation." Hosokawa Fujitaka still said with that smile on his face.
"Kibei, go read it." Asadaki asked Sanada Masayuki, who was standing next to him, to take the Imperial Seal in Hosokawa Fujitaka's hand.
"My lord! This ······" Sanada Masayuki couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after taking a quick look at it, he didn't dare to read this imperial text in front of everyone.
"Xibingwei, because you are still the pen of the small surname, the lord asked you to read, don't you know how to read?" Honjo Shiganaga walked over directly, took the imperial text from Sanada Masayuki's hand and began to read:
"1. After the Shimono samurai were all members of the Shogunate's royal family and served the public, as long as they reformed themselves, the Shogunate will not pursue the crime of rebellion. The crimes of Ashikaga Fuji, Ryoda Harusuke, and Ryoda Mosuke are unforgivable, and I hope that the people of the Kwantung Kingdom will be able to bring them to justice.
2. After Ashikaga Yoshiji is the Furukawa Duke Ashikaga Haru, he can be reappointed as the Kamakura Duke. Hojo clan served as his successor.
3. The retainer of the Uesugi family, Nagao Toyozen Mamoru Keishinobu (his father Nagao Bokei called himself Bunzen Mamoru when he was in the past, and Ashikaga Yoshiki did not know that he was already using the word 'Uesugi' Miao, so he was called 'Nagao') to fill in the Ueno guardianship.
Fourth, the retainer of the Uesugi family, Kakizaki and Izumi Shoukei, were appointed as Kaga guardians.
5. The retainer of the Uesugi family, Usami Suruga, was appointed to be guarded by Noto.
6. Satake Tokichi Yoshiaki and Hojo Masa were re-appointed as the acting governor of the Kanto region, and together with Uesugi repair doctor Asadada, he assisted the Kamakura Princesse and the Kanto governor.
Seventh, the Kanto Governor Uesugi Dan Masakenshin granted the house number (exempt one), Kikutong pattern (exempt one), and the royal companion; Satake Hitachi, Yoshiaki was awarded to the Outer Samples; The Hojo clan was awarded to the Outer Samples.
8. Utsunomiya Shimono Mamoru Hirotsuna, who was loyal to the shogunate, posthumously presented Shimono Guardian and Outsider; Satomi Criminal Department Shaofu Yoshiyao posthumously presented the general guardian (who was the guardian of the house before his death), and the outsider; Satomi Criminal Department Shaofu Yoshihiro posthumously presented as the royal companion; Soma Shengyin posthumously presented as the guardian of Mutsu and the outsider; Date Sakyo Doctor Uemune posthumously presented him as the companion of the imperial minister.
9. The Date clan shall not be hereditary Oshu Explorer, and the Mutsu Guardian and Oshu Quest shall be replaced by the Soma clan, and the old leader of the Date clan shall be managed by the Soma clan.
10. The Uesugi family, the Takeda family, and other local daimyo are not allowed to fight the Hojo clan without permission in the future. ”
Honjo almost finished reading it in anger, and he was about to crumple the paper.
"What is this?! The main family and the Hojo family have fought for so many years, how many retainers and samurai have died on the battlefield? Although he failed to receive posthumous gifts and recognition from the shogunate, at least Odawara Hojo did not receive an appointment from the imperial court and the shogunate! "Hirosawa Tadanobu flattened the imperial text in Honjo's hand and handed it to the court.
"Did the Kyo-gong side forget Uesugi Zen Hide-ko by doing this?" Asahina shone aside, sneering. At that time, Uesugi Zenhide was dissatisfied with the Ashikaga Mochishi clan of the Kamakura Duke, so he directly led followers from all over the Kanto region to attack Kamakura, causing the Ashikaga Mochishi to flee to Suruga. However, after the shogunate sent reinforcements such as Imagawa Nosuma and Uesugi Fukata entered the Kanto region, Uesugi Zenhide was defeated and finally committed suicide in Kamakura.
Asahina Shinji said this allusion at this time completely to Hosokawa Fujitaka. Looking at the entire Kanto region, except for Hitachi, Sagami, Joso, and Anbo, the four countries have not yet been completely pacified, and the rest of the country has supporters and retainers of the Uesugi family stationed in the rest of the country. Once the army is really raised, then Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not be able to send a powerful daimyo to defeat the court.
"It's good, the retainers of the palace can get the Kaga guard, Noto guard, and Ueno guard." Chaoding couldn't help but laugh when he saw the content of the royal text.
Asada saw that this was Ashikaga Yoshiteru's 'two tigers competing for food', but his methods were still inferior. Uesugi Keishinobu, who was appointed as the guardian of Ueno, has a good personal relationship with Asada, as long as he gives him some of Ueno's territories and has Nagano Yoshimasa and other countrymen recognize it.
And the Kakizaki Keike and Usami Dingmi, who were appointed as the guardians of Noto and Kaga, were considered to have picked up a bargain. Originally, it was impossible for the dragon girl to attack the surrounding countries without receiving orders from the imperial court and the shogunate, and this time Ashikaga Yoshiteru gave a requirement to the Uesugi family for nothing. Why is it a free gift? The power of the governor of the family of Nodengtian Mountain has long been hollowed out by the important ministers, and several of the governors have died mysteriously. Seaports such as Wajima Minato in Noto are also very economical and commercially profitable. However, Kaga is not so easy to fight.
The Kaga Kingdom had long been under the control of the Pure Land Shinshu, and the Oyama Imperial Workshop had been renovated inside and out into a fortress like a castle, large enough to accommodate thousands of people. It has been a long time since Kaga Ichikoku became a 'land of the people' after it was conquered by the Pure Land Shinshu, and there are many believers in the country. If you attack blindly, then you will be defeated and die like the long tail can view and the long tail is the view.
"The Lord's ······" Sanada Masayuki and Nagano Yoshimori were stunned when they saw Asadachi like this.
"By the way, there is another one in the Jing Gongfang. Please withdraw from Sagami Province and return all the Hojo clan territories occupied by Sagami. Hosokawa Fujitaka added this very calmly.
"My lord! I think this little white face is looking for death, and I cut him down directly, it's a big deal! Just as Honjo pulled out his saber, Saito Rizo next to him grabbed him.
"Musasuke Honjo, calm down!" Hosoya Shichao hurriedly went over to the mud, and he and Saito Rizo held down Honjo Shiranaga.
The Takeda family and the Hojo family remarried and formed an alliance, but they abandoned the Imagawa family, who had followed the shogunate for more than a hundred years. The Uesugi family, like the Imagawa family, has done their best for the shogunate for so many years, but what they get is oblivion and betrayal? Okabe Motonobu shook his head helplessly.
"Someone, send off." Chaoding didn't want to entertain Hosokawa Fujitaka now, so he directly issued an eviction order.
Since Ashikaga Yoshiteru wanted to shelter the Odawara Hojo clan, of course the court would not comply. In Sagami Province, Tsukui County has been captured by Namba Tian Kenji, and Toshimitsu Anazawa has been able to frequently attack the three counties of Kamakura, Miura, and Takaza. As for the return of Sagami Tsukui-gun, Asahei will still do it. It's just that it's not the return of the original.
On March 18, Kenji Namba, who was stationed at Tsukui Castle in Tsukui County, received an order from the court to dismantle all the castles in Tsukui County and transport all the stones and timber back to Musashi.
At first, Namba Kenji was a little confused, but after learning the content of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's edict, he immediately went to carry it out. Not only that, but Asadashi also sent Hirosawa Tadanobu to Tsukui-gun with troops to gather the local people and prepare to move into Musashi to enrich the population of Musashi.
At the same time that the Uesugi family was demolishing the castle and relocating the population, civil strife began in the Uesugi family.
After seeing that his old domain was occupied by the acting officials sent by Satomi Sakyosuke, Genshichiro Masaki (son of Masaki Yoshiharu) gathered ronins and bandits to seize Kaikai Castle and Minegami Castle; The banner warrior Date Fangyoshi of Harato Satomi Yoshiyao was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Satomi Sakyosuke and raised troops to resist in the Tibetan Jade Museum; The retainers of the Takeda family in the south of the hall, Nobukata Shirai and Saemon Taga Rokuro, occupied the south of the hall and the castle of Sano respectively, and drove away the acting officials under the command of Satomi Sakyosuke; Kato Igamori, the son of Kato Nobuya, the son of the retainer of Yoshihiro Harato, raised troops at Sanzhi Castle in response to Date Boyoshi's army; The original Toki was occupied by the retainer of the Lai family, Morooka Tsuneri, and the small hama castle belonging to Wada Shisuke; Kurokawa Kai Mamoru, the son of Kurokawa Hiroshige, led the ronin to capture Seko Castle······
Although Satomi Sakyosuke and other former ministers of Satomi restored the territory of the main family in the Upper Chamber, they also let the banner of the two lead two flutter in most areas of the Upper Chamber. However, the Satomi Yoshishige they supported was too young to govern. In addition, after Satomi Sakyosuke took power as a pen boss, it caused the dissatisfaction of many Satomi retainers. They seem to have forgotten that thousands of Hojo troops are still stationed in Anbo, and if the scale of the civil strife in Satomi grows larger and the losses of the retainers become greater and greater, Hojo Naotosa, who is in Anbo, will definitely take advantage of the situation.
In the Satomi family, there is only one person with a clear mind - Ichikawa Gentosai. When there was a civil unrest in various parts of the Shangzong, he immediately sent his retainers to ask the court to come and mediate. However, the court rejected the request for mediation on the grounds that there was no covenant between the Satomi family and the Uesugi family, and the Satomi family did not write an affidavit to send it. Asada didn't think that it would be good for him to mediate the civil strife of the Satomi family at this moment, and Satomi Sakyosuke had already made Asada feel disgusted by the fact that he had established Satomi Yoshishige as the governor and head of the Satomi family without authorization.
Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Range (Far range, the distance between the target and the shooter is about 60 meters, and the diameter of the target is 1 meter)
Just listen to the sound of "whoosh", and an arrow hits the red dot of the arrow target.
"I can't imagine that the archery skills of the people of Yuanjiang are not bad." Chao Ding sat on the side of Ma Za and applauded as he spoke.
"Did the town government know that the rumors about the people of Yuanjiang were all farming for Yiyuan Gong before?" Wearing a white cotton sleeve on the upper body and a black or dark blue folded skirt on the lower body, Naota Ii looks at the target in front of him and begins to perform eight movements: foot pedal (the movement of stepping on the target with both feet facing the target when standing with the bow in the shooting position (the position where the bow is ready to be shot), carcass (the movement of stabilizing the upper body after making the foundation of the walk), bow structure (the preparation of the arrow on the bow), and the lifting (the movement of holding the bow and arrow in position high above the head with both hands after the arrow is wound), Draw the bow (the action of holding the bow with one hand and pulling the string with the other hand (with the feather at the end of the arrow), open your hands left and right, and pull the bow and arrow to your eye level), will (after completing the "trigger score" action, start aiming the arrow at the target), li (release the hand holding the arrow and shoot the arrow), and remnant heart (the posture of the body after releasing the arrow).
"Whoosh" Ii Naoto's second arrow still hit the bull's-eye.
"It's worthy of being the queen of the Jing family, and it's different from the daughter of an ordinary samurai family." Chao Ding couldn't help but sigh. The Ii family used to be a daimyo who occupied most of the Enoe country, but with the invasion of the Imagawa family, they gradually changed from daimyo to retainers. Later, Ono's father and son made all the men of the clan die or be killed.
"So what? The grandparents and fathers were willing to let the Imagawa family slaughter, and if it were like Uesugi Zen Hideko, the Ii family would not exist in name only. Naoko Ii put down the longbow (about 2.2 meters), and she remembered that she did not continue to practice archery.
"Although Chan Xiugong can resist bravely, he is still called a rebel in the end." Chaoding still wants to recuperate peacefully, and the war over the years has always made the mobilized forces in the territory reach the point of saturation, and if it continues like this, it is very likely that a famine will break out in the territory.
"Could it be that my father is doing the right thing?" As soon as the words fell, Gui Die walked over.
"At least Saitoyama Castle Mamoru didn't do what he was willing to be like his father and grandfather were to be fish on the chopping block." Naoto Ii said after taking off the handbag on his arm.
"Let's not talk about anything else, the Kyogong side specially ordered not to fight with the Hojo clan this time, it seems that it really has something to do with the Hojo clan." Gui Die slowly walked to Chao Ding's side and said.
"Even if Satomi is attacked by Hojo, the family will not be saved. The Hojo family only has Sagami, Anfang, and most of the Uesu. The family also needs to stabilize most of the Kitakami and Ueno, and as for the Hojo family, let them jump for a few days. Chao Ding said indifferently. In fact, the Uesugi family wiped out most of the samurai family in Ueno, and only the Nagano family and other countrymen were retained. There are about 200,000 koku of land in Ueno alone that needs to be digested, not to mention the total amount.
