Since the Oura family destroyed the Langoka family, although Kawahara Gushin escaped with his life, watching the former "strong" Nanaoka family disappear overnight, which is even more uncomfortable than killing Kawahara Guxin.

If it were an ordinary person, they might just accept their fate and flee to other places, either becoming ronins or joining other forces in an attempt to revive their family's name!

However, it is clear that this is not what Kawahara had in mind.

Kawahara Goshin is the eldest son of Nanaoka Guyong, but he is a concubine, so it is obvious that he cannot inherit the Langoka family.

Because the Kawahara family, a division of the Langoka family, was extinct at that time, Nanoka Guyong let Kawahara Goshin inherit the family name of the Kawahara family, but this also planted the bane of rebellion for the Langoka family.

Kawawara Goshin has always had hidden ambitions, although he is a concubine, but Kawawara Goshin is not willing to just be the head of a separate family and obey his nephew's orders! (Nanooka Guyun, who succeeded him after Nanaoka's death, was the grandson of Nanaoka Guyong and the nephew of Kawahara Gushin.) ）

In addition, Kawahara Guxin had long coveted the position of the governor of the Langoka family, but at that time, Langoka Gushin was in power, and Kawahara Gushin did not dare to make a mistake at all. However, after Langoka Guyong died, Kawahara Goshin naturally didn't have many worries.

In the face of Kawahara Goshin's step-by-step pressing, Nanioka Guyun of course refused to give in! Therefore, in order to strengthen the strength of the main family, Nanaoka Guyun sent his younger brother Nanaoka Xianfan to the west of Langoka Castle and stationed at a place adjacent to the "Kawahara Imperial Palace". However, Nangaoka and Kawahara soon clashed over territorial issues, and both parties requested arbitration by Nangaoka Guyun, who was the head of the family.

Nanaoka Guyun must have favored Nanaoka Shinfan, which made Kawahara Gushin very dissatisfied, so he launched a rebellion in the 5th year of Eiroku (1562 AD) and attacked and killed Nanaoka Guyun, which is known as the "Kawahara Imperial Palace Rebellion" (Kawahara Imperial Palace Rebellion).

Just when Kawahara Gushin was dreaming of taking over the real power of the Nangang family from now on, Nanoka Kenfan quickly raised troops to quell Kawahara Gonobu's rebellion, and established Guyun's son Nanaoka Kenmura to succeed him as the head of the family, and he served as an assistant to stabilize the situation.

Although Kawahara Gonobu's rebellion ultimately failed, it is undeniable that Kawahara Goshin was by no means a man who was willing to accept his fate.

Therefore, in the face of the decline of the Langgang family today, Kawahara Gonobu said "no" "bravely"!

However, now that the Tsugawa family has decided on the situation, and the former Mutsu famous Nanaoka family has not even a piece of scum left, it is undoubtedly very difficult to restore the glory of the Nanzuoka family from the Tsugawa family.

As a result, Kawahara Gonobu found a group of people who had perished because of the Tsugawa family and the Oura family, such as the Asa Yorishi family, the Daikoji family, and the Asahi family, as the lords or heirs, and prepared to launch a rebellion in the Mutsu area and regain the territory.

However, in the face of the powerful Tsugawa family, even Kawahara Goshin, who had integrated the remnants of several countrymen, did not dare to act rashly.

At this time, an unexpected person found Kawahara Goshin, and that was Anton Xunji of the Hiyama Ando family.

Anton's life is also not easy. In the past, the Hiyama Anto family, which occupied part of the territory of Akita County, Yamamoto County, and Tsugaru County, was enough to compete with the southern family of the Mitsu overlord. was first driven out of the feather by the Tsugawa family, and then beaten back to Ezo by the Oura family.

Anton is not willing to look for the season!

Although the Anton family was beaten back to Ezo, and its strength has shrunk to the point where it is not even as good as the old Oyster family, but it can't resist the fact that the Anton family is rich!

The Anto family has been entrenched in the Northern Ou region for hundreds of years, and has long dominated the maritime trade between Ezo and the Ou region, and the wealth they have accumulated is incomparably great.

So when Anton Xunji, who was already an old bone, personally found Kawahara Gushin and others, the two hit it off!

Hiyama Anto's family contributed money, Kawahara Gonobu and others contributed, and everyone worked together to vow to regain their territory!

Judging from the current results, the development of things is in the hands of Kawahara Gushin and others, and the chaos stirred up by Kawahara Gushin and others in the Mutsu area, and the dominance of the Tsukawa family in the Mutsu area is shaky, and it is only the last kick to the door.

However, the Tsukawa family is not a vegetarian after all, and they quickly reacted by sending a large number of troops into the Mutsu area, and if it drags on any longer, the situation will be very unfavorable to Kawahara Gushin and others. Therefore, Kawahara Gushin and others could only prepare to act in advance.

........

Kawahara Castle is the former residence of Kawahara Gushin, and it is also the base camp of Kawahara Goshin now.

Except for some of the bandits who attacked the Mutsu area before were hired by Kawahara Gushin, most of them were former troops and mobilized farmers from several countries.

Don't underestimate the influence of the Nangang family.

The earlier Tsugaru Nanaoka clan was a descendant of the Fujiwara clan and had been active in the Tsugaru area all along, and later the descendants of the Kitabatake clan joined the Namioka family, which became the Namioka Kitabatake clan. Because the Nanaoka Kitabatake clan came from a famous family, it has always been respected by many daimyo in the Mutsu area. The Nanaoka Kitabatake clan has always maintained a continuous and close relationship with the Kyoto government, so that the aristocratic culture of the public family can also bloom in the remote and cold Ou region, and the Nanaoka family's main drama Nanaoka Castle is also known as the "Little Kyoto" of the Mutsu area. The successive heads of the Langgang family have also been appointed as high-ranking officials such as attendants and left lieutenant generals.

Therefore, the influence of the Nanaoka family in the Mutsu region is extremely huge. Again, this is what the Tsugawa family does not have at the moment, after all, compared to the Nangang family, the Tsugawa family is just an outsider, a newcomer.

This is also where the confidence of Kawawara Guxin to restore his family name, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Kawawara Guxin raises his arms under the banner of the Langgang family, there will be a large number of people in an instant, coupled with the financial support of the Anton family and the assistance of several people such as the Asai Shi family, if the Tsukawa family does not respond in time, it is really possible to be succeeded by Kawawara Gushin and others.

.......

On May 28, the 15th year of the Astronomical year, due to climatic reasons, when spring plowing in other areas was already taking place, spring ploughing in the Mutsu area had just begun. And on this day, Kawahara Goshin and others finally began to launch a fight.

Due to the strong influence of the Nangang family in the Tsugaru region and the financial support of the Ando family, in just three days, Kawahara Gonobu gathered two thousand troops in Kawahara Castle! Of course, most of these people are peasant soldiers, as well as a few mercenary ronin, but I have to say that the momentum of Kawahara Goshin and others is still very huge.

However, what Kawahara Goshin didn't expect was that before he could take the next move, Kawahara Castle was surrounded by the sudden Tsukawa family's troops.........

"What's going on! How could the people of the Tsugawa family react so quickly?" On the upper floor of Kawahara Castle, looking at the troops of the Chizugawa family waiting outside the city, Kawahara Guxin, who had been renamed Nangangka Goshin, shouted in disbelief.

And the people who were standing next to Nangang Gushin were also shocked, "Lord Nanaoka, what should we do now?" ”

Looking at the overwhelmed Sharishi Masashi and the others beside him, Nanoka Goshin suddenly deflated, "Ah! I'm not reconciled! How did the Tsugawa family know where and when we raised our troops! Why the hell! ”
