Chapter 104: The actions of the Furukawa Shogunate

On November 1st, after the assessment of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, the dragon maidens who had been living in Kawagoe Castle also learned of the Ashikaga Fuji clan's rebellion from the Xuanyuan ninja under her command.

The dragon girl directly changed her kimono, changed into a samurai uniform, picked up Xiaodou Nagamitsu, and ran to the tearoom to find Asada, who was talking and laughing with Isehime.

"Repair the Doctor's Palace, the Shogun's Palace, the Musashi Guardian Palace, the Asadako, the Furukawa Prince's Ashikaga Left Guard Governor Fuji has been established by the Kanto generals to become the general of the Seiyi!" The dragon girl also ran all the way to find it, and finally learned the location of the Asadai from Sanada Masayuki.

"I know that the news hasn't reached Kyoto yet, and it should be a month before it reaches Kyoto." Asadaki also wanted to shock Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

"What?! Do you want to wait for the news to reach Kyoto? Are you crazy? The dragon girl was simply speechless to Chao Ding, although she didn't know Chao Ding's calculations, but this was completely delaying the fighter.

"Ise, you better go back first, Lord Arakawa Nagami may be too flustered." Asadaki patted Isehime on the shoulder and whispered to her.

"Yes, the concubine stepped back first." Isehime poured the tea for Asada and left.

"Okay, my Kanto Governor's Palace, Kenshin Gong. No one bothered me now. Chao Ding shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative to close the paper door.

"Gorou, look at you like this now! I'm not worried that my sister will continue to be in Musashi, she is safer than here in Aizutsu! "The dragon girl feels that the Aizu Hao clan is really a soft-footed shrimp, and it is very easy to deal with. And what is Kanto? The land of the samurai! Both Minamoto Yoritomo and Ashikaga Takashi took the oath and gathered the Kanto samurai in Kamakura, and both eventually established the shogunate.

This time, the Ashikaga Fuji clan was supported by a large number of wealthy clans and daimyo in the Kanto region, and had already served as the general of the Shogunate, and was able to compete with the shogunates of the Muromachi Shogunate. At this moment, only the Nagano family, the Satake family, the Utsunomiya family, the Satomi family, and the Uesugi family are of one heart in the Kanto region, and the rest of the daimyo and wealthy families are completely on the side of the Ashikaga Fuji clan.

"It's true that Ayahime didn't have a stable life with me, but I told her on my wedding night, 'Why is Hojo home?' This Heyue City is still easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding branches and cities are all divided into retainers and confidants, so you don't have to worry. Chao Ding is still very confident in the people under his hands.

"So do you need to go to the public? I think Numata Castle, Iwaku Castle and other places should block the passage of Echigo. "The dragon girl felt that it would be difficult for her to return to Echigo.

"No, Dr. Takeda Taishan shouldn't continue to be friends with the Hojo family. His father was still working for the palace in Kyoto, and it seems that he was willing to continue to be a courtier of the Muromachi shogunate rather than recognize the Furukawa shogunate. "Chaoding knows the temper of Takeda Shinhu and Takeda Shingen's father and son, and it is justified to go to Shangluo and expand the territory.

"I'm kind to me, if you look at the Saitto family and the Numata family, they can directly block the passage from Ueno to Echigo, maybe the Ueda people (Echigo Sakado) have already received the news but can't act. It's up to the master to do it. "The dragon girl can only pin her hopes on the old man of the pen family.

"Honjo Misaku Mamoru is also a military commander of Echigo's wisdom and bravery, but some of the Echigo people are still guarding in Echichu, and even 'Zhong Kui' Saito Asanobu is in Okushinano. He was the only one who could mobilize some troops and horses to support. "Asadaki only now found out that he and the dragon girl general Echigo Fierce General had rushed to Okushinano and Echichu, and there were few wise and brave people left in Echigo.

"Why bother in the first place! The Gongfang Palace has already guarded Echichu to others, and in order to stabilize Echichu, even the wise general of the main family, the military advisor Usami, Suruga Shoudingman, and the seven capable people of the seven counties of Echigo, Kakizaki and Izumi Shoujing, etc., have all been transferred to Echichu. Even the big bear Bizen Mamoru who collects taxes for his family is still in charge of reconstruction work in the Central Inspection of Vietnam. "The dragon girl really shouldn't have taken over the guard of Yuezhong when she was in Shangluo, but now it's good that there are no retainers to rescue in time.

"Come on, come on, have a cup of tea first. It's useless to be in a hurry. Chao Ding handed the tea to the Dragon Maiden. And the dragon girl drank it very happily.

"Why aren't you in a hurry? The former Kanto Governor Constitutional Commander is still in Hirai Castle, which is the most vulnerable to attack! The total strength of Oishi Tsunagen and Igawa Kiyocho was only 3,600. "The Dragon Girl is not anxious for herself or the Uesugi family, she is anxious for Ayahime and Katsuko.

"You think I'm not in a hurry? I'm waiting for an opportunity. If the rebellion of the Ashikaga Fuji clan is put down in a short period of time, then the palace will think that I am plotting with you! If you don't look at the entire Kanto, only the Uesugi family is dominant, the Hojo family only let him lay down the Anfang country, and there are only three reiki countries, while the Satake family is half of Hitachi country, and the Shimono country and Satomi family, which are a quarter of the Utsunomiya family, are considered one Ueso country, and one-fifth of the Nagano family. These are the only hardcore allies of the family, and the wealthy clans and daimyos who are less than them or dissatisfied with the family can only unite under the command of the Ashikaga Fuji clan. "The court can only make the turmoil last longer in order for Ashikaga Yoshiki to dispel his doubts.

"It's rare that Kanto, which is almost calm, is about to go to war again, so it seems that I will take you to Echigo to see the snow together." The dragon girl looked in the direction of Echigo and sighed.

"Echigo is covered by heavy snow every winter, which means that Echichu, Hida, Ueno, Aizu, Dewa-Yonezawa and other places will be cut off from Echigo at the same time." Asadachi can only say that Echigo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the transportation is inconvenient.

"Yes, I just came to see it, but I didn't expect to spend the New Year here. Although I can't spend the New Year with my uncle this time, I will find opportunities in the future. "The Dragon Maiden knew that she should transfer the Uesugi Keishin with a lot of pen to an area close to Musashi, but she couldn't let the Koshi Nagao family die, which was really difficult.

"I've already prepared my retainers, but the four of Yamamotoji-sama, Miyagi Masayi, Nambada Hiroyoshi, and Kano Hideji can only let them defend in their abilities. If it is broken through there, it will really be a belly attack. "Chaoding feels that this time he is going to make the Satomi family sacrifice himself.

"Fortunately, you and Toyohime are married, and you don't have to worry about the survival of the Satomi family, it's enough to avenge them in the future. The Hojo family was the last to stay. The dragon girl said this coldly and left the tea room.

"Interesting, you don't say I'm going to do it too." After sneering for a while, Asada sneered and found Sanada Masayuki, Nagano Yoshimori, and Mori Keihiro, and asked them to go and inform the attached Namba Kenji, Ota Shimasa, Saito Toshizo, Hirosawa Tadanobu, Ogasawara Sada, and Hosoya Shitomo to come to Kawagoe Castle. Asahi is going to start working, but not too hard.

As the ninjas of the Takeda family got the news, Takeda Shingen knew very well that he could not continue to contact the Hojo family at present, and he could not even sell horses on the border of Sagami and Izu. Takeda Shingen found Naito Masatyo and asked him to lead ten samurai on horseback to the Matsudaira family's main source According to Okazaki Castle, inform the Matsudaira Tibetan Saiyasu and ask him to inform Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga again. And when Naito Masatoyo arrived in Mikawa Province, Matsudaira Ieyasu simply took him to Owari Province.

At this moment, the Oda family has gradually gained an advantage in Mino's strategy, and has taken Kaixi County and Ishizu County, although it has not been able to achieve much victory and territory under the wisdom of Takenaka Hanbei, but such a result is already rare. You must know that Oda Nobunaga was almost spared in the battle of New Gana! How powerful is Takenaka's ten-sided ambush strategy.

And Takenaka Hanbei was also dissatisfied with Saito Ryuxing's abandonment of government affairs, although Saito Yoshiryu was seriously ill, but he could not do this to practice the Saito family. His father-in-law, Mamoru Ando, advised Saito Ryuko again and again, but he was imprisoned. Even the half-guards of Takenaka were insulted when they went. It can be said that after the sixteen followers of the Takenaka Hanbei captured Inabayama Castle, they completely shocked the surrounding countries in one fell swoop! But it was this operation that Saito Yoshiryu died after hearing about the loss of Inabayama Castle on his sickbed, and Saito Ryuko became the new leader.

Knowing that the impregnable Inabayama Castle had changed hands, Nobunaga, who had coveted Mino for a long time, immediately sent someone to ask Hanbei to join the Oda family, promising him Mino Bankoku, but Hanbei refused. Later, the Takenaka Hanbei returned Inabayama Castle to Saito Ryuko, declaring that he was carrying out this operation in order to rejuvenate Ryuko, and then he lived in seclusion in Mt. Ibuki, Omi, and was once hired by Asai Nagamasa, the lord of Omi Kotani Castle, to obtain the fief of Kusanokan Sanchikan in Higashi-Asai County. The territory of 3,000 koku is already a large part of the total territory of the Asai family in Omi Province, about 12,000 koku. If it's Omi Province, it's even more.

And the Saito family, which lost the Takenaka half-guard, was even more vulnerable to being attacked by the Oda family, and even the three Mino people had already watched coldly and did not listen to Saito Ryuko's orders to attack the Oda family. Toshiyao Saito and Toshiharu Saito surrendered directly to Oda Nobunaga. Toshiyao Saito and Toshiharu Saito are both the younger brothers of Yoshiryu Saito, and the surrender of the two of them caused panic in the Saito family. It was at this time that Oda Nobunaga had gathered 8,000 troops to prepare for another attack on Mino, and Matsudaira Ieyasu himself traveled from Mikawa to Kiyoshu Castle. The envoy of the Takeda family, Masatoyo Naito, also came with Matsudaira Ieyasu. Oda Nobunaga, who got the news, had no choice but to stop there, and Saito Ryuko was not able to counterattack. So Oda Nobunaga asked Kinoshita Toyoshiro to build a castle in Sumamata, and he himself led the army back to Owari.

Naito Masatoyo and Matsudaira Ieyasu soon met Oda Nobunaga, who was still wearing large armor, and Niwa Nagahide, Shibata Katsuie, Sasa Naimasa, and other Oda retainers in Kiyoshu Castle Honmaru Ohiroma.

"In Shimonaito, repair Ryoshototaka (Matsudaira Tibetan Sae Yasuke), see Oda Kamisuke-sama." Naito Masatoyo and Matsudaira Ieyasu respectfully greeted Oda Nobunaga, who had rushed to Kiyoshu Castle. And it was already November 12 when they arrived at Cheongju City.

"What's so urgent?" Oda Nobunaga only rushed back when he learned that there seemed to be a big matter in Tokaido and Kanto, and if it weren't for the Takeda family envoy and Matsudaira Ieyasu coming together, he would really have let others stay in Qingshu City for half a month.

"Furukawa Gongfang Ashikaga Left Guard Governor Fuji was supported by Sano Masatsuna and Yura Nari Shigeru to become the general of the Seiyi and create the Furukawa Shogunate! A large number of Chinese people and daimyo from the eight countries of Kanto have followed! Before Naito Masatoyo and Matsudaira Ieyasu could speak, the retainer Sakai Tadaji brought by Matsudaira Ieyasu directly told everyone in the Oda family here.

"What?!"

"This is a rebellion!"

"At most, the Miyoshi family just drove the Gongkata out of Kyoto, and he dared to create the shogunate!"

Suddenly, the entire large room exploded. The members of the Oda family, the retainers of the lineage, and the new retainers all began to whisper, and even Oda Nobunaga himself widened his eyes in surprise.

"Senior Brother Yoshifa, the Ashikaga Fuji clan is also spreading the text to cut off the name of the Uesugi family in the Kanto region and go from Tokaido to Luo!" Matsudaira Ieyasu has just obtained several cities in Mikawa Province and Enjiang Province, and now it is good that the Ashikaga Fuji clan directly claims to annihilate the Uesugi family and then Kamiro!

"Lord Kamisosuke, the Hojo family also participated in this rebellion, the Ashikaga Fuji clan has recognized the Ashikaga Yoshishi clan in Horikoshi, and the Hojo family has renovated the Horikoshi public office." Although Naito Masatoyo is a retainer of the Takeda family, he is jealous of the big rebellion. He also handed the text to Oda Nobunaga.

"What?! Right Six! You prepare immediately, immediately take a few samurai to Kyoto and tell the Gongkaden what happened in Kanto! This essay is also carried! "Oda Nobunaga really hopes that the Uesugi family can get through this.

"Yes! Go now! Shibata Katsuya immediately took the text and left Ohiroma. And Oda Nobunaga was still a little uneasy, so he asked Niwa Nagahide to follow him to Yamashiro Province.

"I'm very happy that the Takeda family is so sensible, you must be tired all the way here, let's go rest first." Oda Nobunaga had nothing else to say, so he could only let Naito Masatyo and Matsudaira Ieyasu go down to rest, but he fell into deep thought. If the Uesugi clan were defeated in this Great Kanto Rebellion, the Furukawa Shogunate would attack everywhere like a bamboo.

The first battle between the Uesugi family and the Furukawa shogunate army was fought between Yamamoto Temple and Oda. As early as November 10, Oda Shiji led a total of 5,100 troops including his retainers Kanko Katsusada, Shinta Fanmune, Kakioka Shikibu, and Odami Jishiko to kill Koganeshiro. Originally, there was a lower Soma house in the middle, but now Soma is out of the way and lets the 'friendly army' enter. This made Oda very happy. Moreover, with the help of the Edo family and others, the Satake family could not directly share the Oda family's original base, Oda Castle.

Yamamoto Temple Dingchang and Yamamoto Temple Katsucho gathered their troops and faced the Oda army with 3,000 troops. The head of Yamamoto Temple did not want the small gold castle that he had only been running for a short time to be destroyed, so he directly led his troops out of the city. However, Soma Junyin did not send reinforcements to cooperate with the Oda army.

Due to the strength of the enemy's army, Miyagi Masaye sent his own Changcheng Weiye to lead a thousand reinforcements to Xiaojincheng. But the gap between the two sides is still a thousand people.

Oda Shiji is not afraid of heaven and earth, he still deploys the military force near Soma's house to wait for the opportunity. Because Ryoda Harsuke once said that he would lead the Sanchiguhe Shogunate Army to come to the rescue. Therefore, Oda Clan also held a banquet with Soma in Moriya Castle with peace of mind.

Oda's dispatch of troops became dominoes, and for a time the Shirai Nagao family, the Numata family, and the Azuma Saito family united to completely block the passage between Echigo and Ueno. The Anaka family and the Hakuo family teamed up to seal off the passage between Ueno and Okushinano. Due to their geographical location, the two locations can be said to be able to block the passage of thousands or tens of thousands of troops even if they are only guarded by a few dozen people.

It was at this time that Nagano Yoshimasa, Satake Yoshiaki, Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, and Satomi Yoshiyao respectively sent their retainers to Kyoto to report the news. A total of 4,600 troops, including the head office, the O, Kuragano, and Wada families, began to attack Hirai Castle.

Oishi Tsunagen received the news from the beginning, and he had already gathered 2,500 troops to defend Hirai Castle, and his retainer Uehara Hyogo went to Musashi Tenjin Mountain Castle to report the news.

And Uesugi Kenmori of the Fukaya Uesugi family led his retainers Okaya Kiyohide and Akimoto Keitao to attack Ueno's Naba Castle with 1,500 troops. The lord of the castle, Yoshitaka Momoi, held the city with 700 troops and waited for reinforcements.

Yura led an army of 3,000 to besiege Koizumi Castle, while Hosoya Shimichi had only 500 troops. Ogasawara of Tatebayashi Castle only had 700 troops on hand for a long time, and he couldn't act rashly.

With the Ueno and Hitachi clans sending troops one after another, the quietness of the Hojo family made the court even more uneasy. He knew that at this time, the Hojo clan and the Hojo clan would not be so peaceful! They were all appointed by the Furukawa Shogunate, and they were even more restless.

Instead, Hojo Shiyasu himself went to Izu Province to personally supervise the expansion and renovation of the Horikoshi Mansion. The Hojo clan government made the Hojo Phantom Ann prepare to defend the city, and nearly 10,000 Hojo troops had gathered in Anbo country, but they did not act.
