The first year of Yonglu, February 28. Emperor Shokin-cho succeeded to the throne after the Daimyo donated money from the Mori Moto, and then changed his name to Motoroku.

There was a new atmosphere in the imperial court, and there was also a new atmosphere in the Kanto region. Tao Qingxian led the army and the Soma army to recapture all the Soma Castle, and also captured Kitome Castle, Masuda Castle, Shiro Maru Castle and other cities in Date Domain. Tao Qingxian completely ignored Date Haruzong's idea of negotiating peace, since the Date family has already started a war with the Uesugi family, then they must bear the consequences, and the water dog will naturally be beaten.

The forces of the Ashikaga Fuji clan and the Furukawa Ashikaga clan have been defeated by the Uesugi clan and others, and the Hojo family has also been devastated by the Musashi Prefecture again. The court decided to keep Namba Tian Kenji in Sagami Tsukui-gun, and let him command 3,000 Kamishu troops to garrison all parts of Tsukui-gun, and most of the Uesugi army was to withdraw to Musashi.

If the Uesugi army continues to penetrate deep into Sagami, then the Sagami country, which the Hojo family has been running for a hundred years, will not be so easy to capture in one fell swoop. The cities in various places are relatively strong, and they cannot be quickly conquered in a day or two. Rather than this, it is better to collect the troops first, and then it will be up to Takeda Shingen to do it. If he knew each other, he would invade Sagami and Izu, and conquer the territory of the Hojo family, the Goyu family, and the territory of one gate, and slaughter all the retainers of the Hojo family. If the Takeda family doesn't act, the Uesugi family can still go to Ashikaga Yoshiteru to sue the Takeda family for colluding with the traitors, and then the Uesugi family will still have the righteous name of attacking Minami Shinano and Kai.

Since Shimono's Ashikaga Nagao family was defeated by the Sano family, the Satake family also relieved the pressure of multi-front battles. Many of the wealthy clans of Hitachi have withdrawn their troops and returned to their skills, and they have also sent envoys in the hope of being forgiven and retaining their skills. However, Oda took the opportunity to annex the territories of Mizutani and Tagaya, and sent an envoy to Kawagoe Castle to inform the court that he wanted to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light' and hoped that the Uesugi family would hire them 'regardless of previous suspicions'.

With the help of Yokotani Yukishige and other ninjas, Yokotani Yoshige, the Azuma Saito family and the Shirai Nagao family were quickly defeated and destroyed. Umino Yukimitsu and Umino Teruyuki, father and son, were also captured by local Yamanbushi in Azuma County and sent to the Uesugi military camp to be beheaded. The Shino clan was left with only Sanada, and the clansmen in Ueno were all slaughtered by the Uesugi army due to their rebellion. Sanada Yutaka's family is still in Kai at the moment, but it is just not as good as his son Sanada Masa. Sanada Masayuki is the head of the small surname of the court, and sometimes he can also serve as a pen and other work. Even the court has designated him as a many.

Even Numata Yumitsu and Tsuchido Shinzaemon (Fujita Nobuyoshi) successfully subdued the Numata family's retainer Ogawa Koyusai (the lord of Ogawa Castle), and led his army to attack and kill Kaneko Minomori and the Kaneko family's retainers Nakayama Uemon, Yamasao Yamana, and Heiroku Okaya.

Numata Kenyasu waited until he learned that Kaneko Mino Mamoru and others had been killed before he discovered Numata Yumitsu's purpose, but it was already too late. He has always had a bad relationship with his eldest son, Numata Kentai, and wants to pass on the family governor to his second son, Numata Asakun, or the third son, Numata Heihachiro Keitoshi. Although his idea has always been opposed by many retainers within the Numata family, he still wants to go his own way. Even this rebellion was the idea of one person, not the whole clan.

However, this detail has long been seen by Numata Yumitsu, and the first person he omitted was Numata Kentai. Asadachi also had the idea of keeping the name of the Numata family for the time being, and told Numata Yumitsu that he could support Numata Kentai first. As soon as Yumitsu Numata had the instructions of the Ada, he asked Kentai Numata to do it immediately.

Numata Kenyasu also has some ability, he gathered the headquarters of 500 ashigaru and then attacked and killed Numata Keihide and Numata Keiyasu of the same clan under the pretext of 'crusading against Uesugi'. These two have always been Numata Kentai's cronies, and they also sang and harmonized with Numata Kentai, Numata Kentai had long seen that the two of them were unhappy, so he waited for the opportunity to kill them.

When Numata Kenyasu learned about it, he could only let the surrounding wealthy clans Yamana Zhushui, Tsukamoto Hizen Mamoru Tsukamoto, Fachi Saemon Goro, Kuroda Echizen Mamoru , Kato Tango Mamoru , Watanabe Sakon Yoshi, Kosuga Shosuke (former Ogawa Koyusai retainer who was bought by Numata Kenyasu) and others forced together 1,500 troops and the 1,000 troops of Numata Kenyasu, Ogawa Koyusai, and Numata Yumitsu to start a joint battle near Meitokuji Temple in the northwest of Numata Castle. And Numata Kentai is not sitting as a general, he just appoints Yamana Zhushui as his 'name generation'. This made Watanabe Zuo Jinyun and others, who had mobilized more troops than him, a little unhappy. Numata Yumitsu had already sent someone to ask Nagano Yemasa to lead the army for support, and once the living forces of the Numata family were destroyed in the field battle in this joint battle, then the siege or siege of the city would not be too difficult.

On the morning of the 29th, the Numata people still had the advantage of troops at the beginning of the joint battle. However, as soon as the time reached noon, the tide of battle was quickly reversed. Nagano Yoshimasa led 2,000 troops (500 of which were Kamishu cavalry, no worse than the Chibei cavalry) from Shirai Castle to the vicinity of Meitokuji Temple, and assisted Numata Kenyasu and others in quickly defeating the Numata people.

In just half a day, the Numata crowd of 1,500 people was defeated. Kuroda Echizen Mamoru , Kato Tango Mamoru , Yamana Shomizu , Kosuga Shosuke and Tsukamoto Hizen Mamoru were taken one after another, and the two of them fled back to Numata Castle with only five samurai on horseback. The branch castles around Numata Castle, Makuwa Castle, Azou Castle, Meitokuji Temple, Kawada Castle, Ishikura Castle, and Nawalnut Castle were all conquered by the Nagano army led by Nagano Yoshimasa.

After Nagano Yoshimasa captured all six branch castles around Numata Castle in three days, he cut off all the Numata family's supplies and external communications.

Looking at the entire Ueno, the secession forces are left with the Numata family. As early as the eve of the Hongji Rebellion, Nagano Yoshimasa sent his sister-in-law to Kawagoe Castle to be a small surname for the court, and he had long expressed his intention to surrender. Therefore, if Numata Xiantai did not help Saito, Shirai Nagao, and the head office before, it will be self-defeating.

Subsequently, on the night of March 2, Michizo Saito led a raiding force to merge with Nagano Yoshimasa, Numata Kenyasu and others, and the number of troops surrounding Numata Castle reached 21,000.

Numata Kentai, Numata Keiyoshi, Numata Chaoken and others in the castle were completely at a loss, although they were able to use the solidity of Numata Castle to support the crusading army for several days of onslaught, but once the castle was broken, the consequences would be to destroy all the clans.

Numata Kenyasu and his two sons wanted to surrender voluntarily, but Numata Goro Saemon and Watanabe Sakinyoshi did not want them to surrender. Once they surrendered, they were punished for engaging the raiders on their own initiative. Instead of this, they had the favor of exchanging the heads of Numata Kenyasu and others for Saito Michizo. Probably because Wada Yefan and the others, who had done this kind of thing before, did not reach the vicinity of Numata Castle, so the Numata people still wanted to use the seller in exchange for their own skills.

On the one hand, Michizo Saito and Yoshimasa Nagano and others were not prepared to attack the castle at night so as not to be ambushed and reduce unnecessary losses. Watanabe went out of the city secretly at night to see Michizo Saito. When Saito Michisai heard that he was another 'loyal man', he immediately verbally said that he would discuss with the court to give a reward to Yunyun to reassure him. As soon as Watanabe saw that he had received the assurances of the general of the Uesugi army, he immediately returned to the castle and discussed with Goro Saemon about how to assassinate Numata Kentai.

At the same time, on the evening of March 2, the Honmaru Ohiro room in Kawagoe Castle was full of people. In addition to the court on the throne and the retainers on the left and right, most of the people who knelt and sat densely were envoys of the wealthy clans of Hitachi Province or the governors of the main family who came in person. Chaoding didn't return to Heyue City until noon, and even his family didn't have time to see it, so he began to freshen up and prepare to meet the Changlu Hao clan who came to ask for sin.

"The town lord, sinners and others were deceived by the thieves Ashikaga Fuji and Ryoda Harusuke, and they had no idea of going against the imperial court and the shogunate! Please check the court! After these dozens of people finished speaking, they kowtowed to Chaoding again.

"Your Royal Highness, the Jing Gongfang wants the family to find the thief leader by all means, it's been almost six months, if you can't find Ashikaga Fuji and Liang Tian Harsuke and others, the face of the family will not look good." Hirosawa Tadanobu was not available because Ota Shimasa and Namba Tian Kenji were not there, so he temporarily sat on the pen head of Ota Shimasa, and the second seat was Omori Fujiyori. However, Guangze Zhongxin's words were not for the court, but for those kneeling nobles and envoys. The purpose was to make them understand that if they sheltered Ashikaga Fuji and Ryoda Harusuke, then they should not be forgiven.

"Well, the Ashikaga Fuji clan and his ancestors and the Kyogong side still have a hundred years of grievances about the Dongguan clan have been resolved, and his ancestors have not opened their own business, but he has done what his ancestors wanted to do but could not do." At this time, Chao Ding was wearing a black hunting coat and an upright black hat, and sat on the main seat like a minister. But from beginning to end, he didn't face up to these kneeling tycoons.

"Your Highness, what's so hard about this? Let your subordinates lead tens of thousands of troops, and it is enough to go down to the field and often land to peace! "Honjo wanted to fight everywhere, but Asadaku wasn't ready to fight.

"Musashisuke (Honjo's official position), His Royal Highness has long been preparing for the two of them to let the Saitoyama Castle Moriden and Nagano Shinano Moriden destroy the Numata family and go south to merge with Ota Saemon Saden of Furukawa Castle, and defeat the Shimono rebels who continue to resist stubbornly with 30,000 troops. Many people in Hitachi Province were confused and deceived by the Ashikaga Fuji clan and Ryoda Harusuke, and His Highness wanted to give them a chance to mend their ways. "Giving up the people and re-suturing is to say the intention of the court 'inadvertently' to Honjo Fanchang.

"Yes, in addition to the Nambada attendants and the Musashi border, the general garrison, the family can still mobilize fifteen thousand. Although the army of 45,000 can defeat all the rebellious people in the eight countries of Kanto, the Kyogong only needs the Ashikaga Fuji clan and Ryoda Harusuke, and the family does not want to let the famous families in the Kanto region wither. Chaoding's words did not come from his heart.

Although the Uesugi family has so many troops, it is necessary to digest the Shimokoku Furukawa Ashikaga Domain, the Ueno Province Destroyed Hao Clan Domain, the Sagami Province Tsukui-gun, and the Ashikaga Nagao Domain that Shimono is about to perish. In particular, after the Hojo family went through the 'Fuchu collapse', a large number of retainers died, and many castle lords died in battle, which was an excellent opportunity for the Uesugi family to send troops to the general office. Once the samurai and retainers of the former Satomi family, who were dormant in the country, launched a fight, then the Hojo family's power on the Boso Peninsula would be swallowed up by the Uesugi family. What's more, the court also has the Satomi family's royal water army - the Okamoto Water Army.

"Your Highness, the people who came to Kawagoe Castle this time all have the Hitachi Kuninan 33 Pavilion Wealthy Family, the Oda Family, the Mabe Family, etc., and the only one who came from Shimono Country is the Sano Family." Hirosawa faithfulness did not forget to add that there are some people who come to ask for sin.

"Well, the Satake family will always guard you once. Tell Hitachisuke that since the people of Hitachi are ready to regain their allegiance to the shogunate, then get along with them regardless of their past suspicions. However, the Iwaki family cannot be forgiven. "The court did this in order not to further increase the power of Satake Yoshiaki, and the Iwaki family led the army to attack Hitachi this time, which had already made enemies with the Satake family and caused the dissatisfaction of the generals of Tokiriku.

"Yes! Please rest assured that the Mito Edo family will lead the naval army to attack the Iwaki Domain and annihilate the rebels! "Edo Tadamichi, the head of the Mito Edo family, stood up, he was originally a wealthy family belonging to the Satake family, but after feeling that the Satake family would be attacked by a group, he fell to the Furukawa shogunate army, and now he personally came to Kawagoe Castle to apologize.

"I can guarantee that your skills will be distributed to everyone who comes to Kawagoshi Castle, and as for the task of sending troops to the Iwaki family, let the retainers of the family in Aizu go, as long as you continue to be loyal to the Kyoto Princess." Chaoding didn't want them to increase their power, and the Iwajo Leader was naturally going to be swallowed by the Uesugi family, and it was already very face-saving to be able to issue a letter of skill to these people who came to Heyue City.

Hitachi Province can't reach the Uesugi family's hand there at the moment, so it is better to let the countrymen in various places retain their strength to contain the Satake family. There is no doubt that the six countries of Ueno, Musashi, Shimono, Shimo Zong, Kamio, and Anbo must be firmly in the hands of the Uesugi family. As for most of Sagami Province and Hitachi Province, they will be put in the hands of others for the time being, and there will be time to take it later. The location of Izu Province in Tokaido is not as good as that of Anbo Country, so it is not impossible to give it to the Takeda family that once occupied it.
