Chapter 6: The reluctant invitation of the Takeda family

Most of the samurai under Tokugawa Ieyasu did not leave the Tokugawa family, but accepted the condition of continuing to serve Tokugawa Ieyasu at a very humble age, and these Mikawa samurai could really be called loyal as dogs.

At this time, Kuroda Vocational High School also welcomed the envoy from the Takeda family, Mieda Mamotomo.

The historical Mieda Mori was supposed to die in Suruga Province under the attack of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but because of the existence of the Kuroda family, the entire historical event was changed, and this samurai who was good at diplomacy in the Takeda family survived and survived to the present, after all, he was only in his early forties even now, and he was still a very strong middle-aged man.

Kuroda Vocational High School saw this in his eyes, and felt that he was very obvious, he was a well-known figure in history, so Kuroda Vocational High School didn't feel that he looked at him one or two more times.

"The foreign minister Takeda family under the command of the three eda motomo, I have met Kuroda Secretary of the Middle Secretary, and I have met Kuroda Dainayan." After speaking, Mieda Shouyou bowed respectfully to the Kuroda family father and son.

"The explanation is by the adults, there is no need to be so polite."

"This time I came down to make a request to the Kuroda family on the orders of the head of the family."

"Oh, make a request to the family, right?"

"Hey! The head of the family hopes that the Kuroda family will be able to preserve a trace of blood for my Takeda family in the future. ”

"Preserve the bloodline for the Takeda family, right? In other words, Lord Takeda Katsuyori is unwilling to submit to the Kuroda family, and wants to resist the Kuroda family. Kuroda Yoshitaka sat on the throne and asked very majestically.

"Hey! This is exactly what the head of the family meant. ”

"I see, in that case, why does Katsuyori-sama think that my Kuroda family will keep the bloodline for your Takeda family? If this mouth is opened, won't the daimyos, wealthy families, and countrymen behind them all act like this, where does this put my Kuroda family's position? ”

After seeing Kuroda Yoshitaka's angry expression, Mieda Mamoru immediately bowed to Kuroda Yoshitaka and said.

"Please also ask the Secretary of State to calm his anger, the lord of the family knows that such conditions are very ridiculous, to be honest, since he chooses to become the enemy of the Kuroda family, he should be ready to be exterminated, this is what the lord of the family himself said, but the problem is that the family can't ignore it, the glory of the famous warrior family Takeda family such a Miao character brings to him, so I hope to be able to keep this Miao character forever, even if the Kuroda family takes over the world, the Takeda family can also have a person who can serve the Kuroda family, and continue to retain the bloodline of the Takeda family, and not perish. ”

"I have just said that it is difficult for the Kuroda family to agree to such conditions as yours, after all, from the standpoint of the family, so that the exterminating family can still have someone left by the family, and then how will other forces look at the Kuroda family. How can the Kuroda family face these families in a hostile state, and let each of them retain their own Miao characters and bloodlines? Each of them says that they are famous samurai families, so will we all meet their requirements? Do we all need to be responsible for them? If you say so, there are not a few famous martial arts families that have been destroyed by this family before, so should the family also let them, each family find another descendant to come out, and inherit their Miao characters and continue the bloodline again? ”

"Your Excellency Secretary of State, if you say so, I have nothing to say, it seems that my family has too many extravagant expectations, which has caused trouble to the Kuroda family, and I am very sorry to go down, so I apologize to the two adults here."

"Don't worry, let me ask, in what way does Katsuyori-sama want to preserve the Takeda family's Miao characters and bloodline?" At this time, Kuroda suddenly asked.

Sanzhi Shouyou immediately bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School, and he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that Kuroda Vocational High School had actually intervened in this matter, and the situation may not be as desperate as he thought, maybe there is a turning point in this matter!

"The head of the family wants to be the fifth son of the ancestor of the family, Shingenko, and the current head of the Nishina family, Nishina Morinobu-sama, to enter the Kuroda family and serve the Kuroda family.

And what the family retains is not the so-called Miao character, but the bloodline of the Takeda family, as long as the Kuroda family is willing to accept Lord Nishina Shengxin, the family is very satisfied, as for the Takeda family's Miao character, the Kuroda family can dispose of it at will after that. ”

Nishina Morinobu was the fifth son of Takeda Tiger, and in the 22nd year of Tenmon (1553 AD), the Nishina clan of Yakumo Prefecture became a direct subordinate of Takeda Shingen.

After Takeda Shingen determined his domination over Shinano Province, he began to strengthen the relationship with the famous samurai family of Shinano Province by marriage, which can be regarded as Takeda Shingen's soft policy, who told him to do nothing good in Shinano!

In the fourth year of Eiroku (1561 AD), because of the will of Takeda Shingen, he married the daughter of Nishina Morimasa, and became the adopted son of the Nishina family, inherited the name of the Nishina clan, and when he was still in the Yuanfu, he got the general character "Sheng" of the Nishina clan as his own partiality, and at the same time began to become the general of the Takeda family of Ashigaru who commanded more than 100 people of the Nishina family.

During the Tensho period, as the head of the Nishina clan, he received preferential treatment such as exemption from military service and Zhixing Andu issued by the family, and at the same time, he also assumed the right to command the border guard of the Uesugi family of Echigo Province, which was hostile to the Takeda domain.

After the death of Takeda Shingen, his half-brother Takeda Katsuyori became the new head of the Takeda family, and he naturally became his brother's subordinate. After the conclusion of the Ko-Vietnam Alliance, the hostile relations between Takeda Katsuyori and the Oda and Tokugawa families intensified.

In the 9th year of Tensho (1581 AD), due to the need for confrontation between the Oda family and the Tokugawa family, Nishina Morinobu returned his original residence city of Shinano Kunimori Castle and became the lord of Takato Castle. After Oda Nobunaga's army attacked Shinano Province and Kiso Yoshimasa surrendered, Nishina Morinobu and Shinano Saku-gun's Uchiyamajo Daiyamashiro Oyamada Masanari and Oyamada Daisuke brothers fought the Battle of Cage Castle at Takato Castle.

In February of the 10th year of Tensho (1582 AD), Oda Nobunaga ordered the Oda family army to start an expedition against Koshin, and it is recorded that Nishina Morinobu had as many as 3,000 men at that time, and he was surrounded by an army of 50,000 led by Oda Nobunaga, the eldest son of Oda Nobunaga and the head of the Oda family at the time.

After the siege of the Vault, Oda Nobutada was still unable to break through Takato Castle, so he asked Nishina Morinobu to submit him, but Beshina Morinobu decisively refused.
