Chapter 351: Pacifying Kaga
In the third year of Yonglu, April 10th. In order to be able to successfully conquer Wakasa Province and keep Enuma County in Kaga Province, Asakura Yoshikage handed over Shimoma Yorikiyo, Shimoma Yorisho, Chaokatsuji Kyoyoshi, and Saikoji Shinkyo to the Kakizaki Keikyo family to deal with.
On the one hand, Asakura Yoshikei is because his daughter has been given to Kenshin as an adopted daughter, and on the other hand, the important ministers of the family under his command are all opposed to being enemies of the Uesugi family. If he continues to insist on going his own way, he will inevitably be mutinied by his retainers and set up a new master.
In order to avoid losing his position as the governor of the family, Asakura Yoshikage still compromised with the important ministers of a family family. On the one hand, Asakura Yoshikei sent Shimoma Yorikiyo, Shimoma Yoriteru, Kokatsuji Kyoyoshi, Seikoji Shinkyo and others to the outside of Kaga Kanazawa Castle, and on the other hand, Asakura Yoshikage took the initiative to send an envoy to Kyoto to ask Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general of Seiyi, to mediate and mediate a settlement with the Uesugi family, and Asakura Yoshikage also offered 30,000 koku of grain and grass and 3,000 eigaku money to Kenshin.
After Kenshin saw that Ashikaga Yoshiki went out to mediate, he had no choice but to ignore Asakura Yoshikei's previous unauthorized peace agreement with Kaga Ichijomune and the occupation of Kaga Enuma Prefecture, and also acquiesced in his strategy of Wakasa Province. Because, at present, the people of Echichu have not yet been pacified, and Noto has not been pacified by Usami Dingman for a short time, and it is not suitable for the Uesugi family to use troops on a large scale in Hoklanduriku Province at present.
As soon as Shimoma Yorikiyo, Shimoma Yorisho, Kyokaji Kyoyoshi, Seikoji Mankyo and others were sent outside Kanazawa Castle, they were dragged to Tetori Kawabe and beheaded by order of the Kakizaki Keike family, and their heads were then sent to Void Zoyama Castle, Fuchu Castle, Iwabuchi Castle, Mikawa Castle, and other castles that Kaga had always refused to defend by the generals.
Zenshiro Mibayashi, Taro Suzuki, Mamoru Shimoyama, Lord Shui Susuke, Kotaro Ushita, Mamoru Okushino, Shinzaemon Takahashi, Kanshichiro Hasegawa, Daikisuke Kubota, Ichisuke Arakawa, Kishida Mosui, Saemon Jiro Kawana and other military generals who have always been on the same side of Kaga were frightened when they saw this scene, and the people in the army were panicked and had no fighting spirit. They took advantage of the fact that the Uesugi army had not yet surrounded the castle they had resisted, and they led their troops to abandon the castle and flee. Subsequently, Kakizaki Keijia acquired the important towns of Ishikawa County and Nomi County, such as Matsuren Castle, Fukuoka Castle, Fuchu Castle, Wada Mountain Castle, and Void Zangshan Castle Iwabuchi Castle without a fight.
As Kaga has always been a general, the generals have lost several important towns such as Matsuren Castle, Fukuoka Castle, Fuchu Castle, and Wada Mountain Castle one after another, and they are already frightened birds. Although the retainers of the Uesugi family, such as Kakizaki Keike, Kanga Keichi, Suda Ukyo, and Suda Shomono, who had already occupied Kita-Kaga Ishikawa and Hebei Counties, had less than 5,000 troops, the pressure on Kaga Ichi-ichi was no less than that of a million-strong army and Kenshin. Kaga had always been afraid of the generals, so he abandoned the castle again and continued to flee to Iwakura Castle, Hakusan Torigoshi Castle, Erqu Castle, Maruyama Castle, Oguchi Castle and other places. After that, Kakizaki Keijia began to chase after him and followed him all the way.
Anji's parents, Kasama Ieji is a powerful military general that Kaga has always been a powerful general, and has long been responsible for resisting the invasion of the southern Asakura family and monitoring the task of the former Kaga guardian family Fuken clan, and has always been trusted by the Kaga Ichikoshi clan leaders such as Shimoma Yorikiyo, Shimoma Yorisho, Chaokatsuji Kyoshi, Saikoji Temple, etc., when the Anyoshi parents and Kasama Ieji saw that the current situation was not good, they suggested to the only Kaga Ichijo clan senior Miyatsu Quan Cheng who did not flee to Echizen Province, The purpose of the Kakizaki Keijia is nothing more than to avenge the death of the eldest son Kakizaki Yujia in Noto, so it is better to surrender to the Uesugi army on the spot and apologize to the Kakizaki Keijia army, or to avoid great disaster. Miyake Quan Cheng not only did not listen to the advice of Anji's parents and Kasama's family, but was suspicious of the two of them, he was afraid that Anji's parents and Kasama's family would have any different plans for him, so he didn't dare to continue to stay in Hakuyama Torigoshi Castle, so he quickly led an army of 500 to abandon the city to the south, and defended himself according to the danger of Maruyama Castle.
On the one hand, the two of them secretly sent people to ask for surrender to the Kakizaki Keijia, Kasuma Keichi and other Uesugi retainers, and on the other hand, hinted at their retainer Lang Party, saying that Miyake Quancheng was about to lead the army back to Hakusan Tokoshi Castle, and everyone must hurry up and prepare to return to the army. Seeing the three houses tossing back and forth in such a disorderly manner, everyone lost their fighting spirit and morale, and under the guidance of Anji's parents and the Kasama family, they all fled back to Baishan Bird Yue City. Anji's parents and Kasama's family rushed to the outside of the city gate, leading these headless flies-like Kaga Ichi's army to surrender to the Kakizaki Keike family. With the surrender of the Uesugi family to the two members of the Anji family and the Kasama family, the few important combat forces of the Kaga Ichijani sect were dismantled, and the situation worsened.
The three houses had no choice but to flee overnight with their side and a few henchmen, and their subordinates were in an uproar. Kakizaki Keike, Kagan Kazuchi and other generals immediately seized the opportunity to immediately launch a general attack on Kaga's Ichi-Ichi-ichi army, and completely annihilated the remnants of Kaga's Ichi-Ichi-to-Ichi army, which had lost its leadership and organization, and captured more than five people and more than 500 horses.
However, the most critical task has not yet been completed, and Miyake has slipped through the net. Kakizaki Keike judged that Kaga Ichijomune had reached an alliance with the Takeda family before, and he would inevitably go east to join the Takeda family. Fleeing to the Takeda family, they had to pass through Oguchi, Mikata Iwaka, Hakuyama and other places, and the Kakizaki Keike ordered Kuri Masada (Kuri Masadada), who remained at Elephantosaki Castle in Nomi County, to lead an army to intercept the attack, and in addition, Kakizaki Keike also sent a major minister, Katagiri Mitsuyoshi, to pursue along Okurayama to the southeast.
Miyake Quan Cheng really went to the country of flying missiles. At this moment, he was trudging between the mountains of the White Mountains, and in order to prevent anyone from seeing his tracks, he drove all the horses with him, except for himself, which rode a thin horse, and the rest of his entourage all walked on foot. However, these ridiculous tricks did not delay his life.
Soon, Jiuli Zhengzhen's pursuers followed the trail of Miyake's Quancheng. Miyakuquan had no way to enter the sky and no door, so he had to kill himself less than half a mile from the Sanfang Rock Card. Only a few of Miyake's entourage fled to Hida and were sheltered by the Takeda family, and the rest of his followers and monks were killed on the spot. The first evil was dead, and the retainers of the Uesugi family, such as Kakizaki Keike and Kagan Keiji, led their troops back to Kanazawa Castle.
Zenshiro Mibayashi, Taro Suzuki, Mamoru Shimoyama, Lord Shui Susuke Mitsuhashi, Kotaro Ushida, Mamoru Okushino, Shinzaemon Takahashi, Kanshichiro Hasegawa, Daikisuke Kubota, Ichisuke Arakawa, Kishida Morizumi, Saemon Jiro Kawane and other Kaga generals have always been in the same direction, and when they saw that the only remaining commander-in-chief, Miyakequan Joto, was defeated and died, they abandoned the castle and fled to the Takeda domain. Subsequently, most of the Kaga country was occupied by the Uesugi family.
On April 15, after displaying the head of the three houses, the Kakizaki Keike family sent their retainers to the newly seized towns of Ishikawa and Nomi to prevent the Kaga Ichisho clan from inciting the believers and the people to launch a rebellion. Kakizaki Saemon (a family of kinship) entered Wada Mountain Castle and received 15,000 stone Zhixingdi; Igarashi Kobunsi (a family of relatives) entered Bozuo Valley City and received 10,000 stone Zhixingdi; The jade insect Zhenmao (Chengzhenmao) entered Songren City and received 15,000 stone Zhixingdi; Sumo tenacious and stationed in Zhougang City, with 13,000 stones.
After most of Kaga Ichikoku was pacified, the retainers of the Uesugi family, such as Kaganya Keiji, Suda Shomono, and Suda Ukyo, who had previously supported the Kakizaki Keiko, also withdrew from Kaga Province, and they also needed to assist Echichu Okuma Ashide, Dohi Masashi, Nagao Keiren, Nagao Keikin, and Sasaka Nagami to pacify the people of Eastern Vietnam.
Due to the voluntary submission of Anji's parents, Kasama Jiaji and Jiuli Masasada, the Kakizaki Jingjia let Anji's parents enter Baishan Torikoshi City and received 12,000 stone Zhixing land; Jiuli Zhengzhen has the ability to block, and still serves as the lord of Xiangzhiqi City, leading 3,000 stones to know the land; The Kasama family entered Maruyama Castle and received 5,000 stone of Zhixing.
Not long after the Kakizaki Keikie pacified Kaga Province, Kenshin ordered the Kakizaki Keike family to surrender the territories of Masuyama Castle, Shonjo, Inoba Castle, Kishue Castle, and Hasunuma Castle in the Etsuchu and Tonba Counties. Because Kenshin planned to transfer the large body lords in Echigo to Western Echigo. As for the territories such as Suwa Castle and Cave Castle in the plateau of the North Missile, Kenshin temporarily let the Kakizaki Keijia possess them. In this way, Kakizaki Keijia's territory in the three counties of Ishikawa-gun, Hebei-gun, and Nomi in Kaga Province alone reached 160,000 koku, and if you add the 9,000-koku territory of Kitasaki Missile, it reached nearly 170,000 koku.
