At least the Hojo clan, who is the head of the Hojo family, was a little panicked, but fortunately, at this time, the Hojo clan stood up in time and stabilized the situation of the entire Hojo family with his authority, but in the minds of the Hojo family, there was still some consideration for the influence of the imperial court on them.

And because of this edict, the Kuroda family naturally has attacked the righteous name of the Hojo family, and the Kuroda family's attack on Izu Province before was actually illegal.

It's just that the area of Izu Province is relatively small, and there is not much land, and the scale of the Kuroda family's military operations is also very small, so it is not an obstacle, but if it is really an attack on the Hojo family, it must be a good name for righteousness.

For example, when the Kuroda family attacked the Oda family before, the reason was very simple, that is, because the Oda family's civil strife caused instability in Kyoto, so it was necessary for the Kuroda family to quell the rebellion in Kyoto.

And after the discussion of the imperial court, all the problems were all buckled on the Oda family, and then it was logical for the Kuroda family to attack the Oda family, as long as it was the territory of the Oda family before, the Kuroda family could attack at will.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu, as an ally of Oda Nobunaga and a brother with a different surname in the alliance, has no problem with the Kuroda family going to attack him for such a reason.

As for the Uesugi family, to be honest, the Kuroda family really did a lot of things, because the Kuroda family has no righteous reputation for the Uesugi family at all, and no matter how they attack, it can't be justified.

Fortunately, just entered the territory of the Uesugi family, and after a tie-led battle, the Uesugi family surrendered directly under the leadership of Uesugi Keikatsu, which was a very beneficial thing for the Kuroda family, at least it did not suffer too much damage in the name of righteousness.

Now that the Kuroda family has the righteous title granted by the imperial court to attack, it will be much easier to do things after that, at least when attacking, there is no need for these scruples.

At the same time, this also gave a signal to other daimyo in the eastern country, that is, the entire imperial court is now in the hands of the Kuroda family, and the Kuroda family can attack whoever they want now, and there is no need to worry about it at all, as long as it is the person who the Kuroda family wants to attack, the imperial court will inevitably give a suitable name of righteousness for their own safety.

And the moment the Kuroda family got the name of righteousness, because they had already prepared, they immediately sent troops, and the 40,000 people with a high rate of Kuroda who were deployed in Kai Province immediately divided into two troops and began to act.

First of all, the Kuroda family had an army of 15,000 people, and under the leadership of Sanada Masanobu, together with the Shinano family of the wealthy clan Kiso Yoshimasa, Sanada Nobutsuna and other wealthy clans and countrymen, they formed an army of 20,000 and entered the Hojo family territory and entered the Ueno Kuniku Numata area.

Numata Castle is a very fertile land in Ueno Province, and this land has always been in the hands of the Sanada family until a few years ago.

Speaking of Numata Castle, I had to nominate the Kurota incident, which was originally the domain of the Sanada family, and was later coveted by the Hojo family.

First of all, I want to say that the monkey issued a decree that there is always nothing to do in the world, and to put it bluntly, the monkey wants to oppress the forces of the Hojo family, the Date family, the Mogami family, and the Tsugaru family.

At this time, the Sanada family, the Tokugawa family, and the Hojo family took advantage of this to have a dispute in the Numata area, which was an extremely fertile land that belonged to the Sanada family, but the other two families coveted it for a long time.

Monkey wants to be a good person among the three families at this time, so he actively resolves the old feud between Tokugawa and Hojo for Sanada Masayuki.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is easier to speak, and married Inagi, the daughter of the fierce general Honda Tadashikatsu, to Sanada Nobuyuki, the eldest son of Sanada Masayuki, and the two families formed a family, and all the previous unhappiness will not be mentioned, of course, this is only on the surface.

But the Hojo clan of the Hojo family is not so easy to settle, this guy does not recognize the current situation at all, and he only thinks about Numata Castle with all his strength.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked the Hojo clan and his son Hojo clan to go to the capital to meet him, the Hojo clan put forward the condition that the Sanada family cede Numata Castle before he was willing to go to Kyoto to express his submission to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The helpless Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no choice but to go to Sanada Masayuki to discuss, but I didn't expect Sanada Masayuki to quit, why did I cede the land I got with my strength to the Hojo family, the Hojo family wanted to, and I sent troops to take it!

Sanada Masayuki was also unwilling to give up this desperately obtained fertile land, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi said that he was kind of and finally suggested that Sanada Hojo and the two sides should be bounded by the Tone River, and the east of the river should be returned to Sanada, and the west of the river, including Numata Castle, should be assigned to Hojo.

Nominally, the Numata area was divided in half, but the Hojo family's half accounted for more than two-thirds of the territory, and they got a big bargain. As compensation for the loss of the Sanada family, Toyotomi Hideyoshi promised to transfer Shinano Suwa Prefecture to Sanada Masayuki. The conflict between Sanada and Hojo was finally eased for the time being.

This point in time is February 1589 A.D.

The Hojo family sent the general Inomata Kunitun out of Numata Castle, and only a few days after taking office, an uninvited guest came to the Inomata Kuniten Mansion. This man claimed to be Nakayama Kubei, a samurai under the command of Suzuki Shigenori, the commander of the Sanada family's name Kurumnut Castle, because he admired the strength of the Hojo family, and was treated badly by Suzuki Shigenori, so he came to dedicate the castle.

When Inomata Kunitun heard that there was such a good thing, he was immediately overjoyed and asked his master, the Hojo clan, about the response to the matter.

Numata Castle is a castle in the Numata area, only three kilometers away from Numata Castle, and Numata Castle was acquired by the Hojo family, but Sanada Masashi died and refused to let the famous Walnut Castle, saying that this castle was where his ancestors were grave, and it was not a descendant to give it up.

The castle was actually built between 1492 and 1501. In 1566 A.D., Uesugi Kenshin attacked the Kanto region, and saw that the terrain of this castle was dangerous, so he ordered to rebuild it, and after the death of Uesugi Kenshin, the castle was captured by the Hojo clan.

In 1578, in order to attack Ueno Province, which belonged to the Hojo clan, Takeda Katsuyori ordered Sanada Masayuki to capture Nakuruma Castle and use it as a bridgehead to attack Numata Castle. At this time, the Oda family was involved with the Numata region for the first time, and before that, it was completely a native of Shinano Province.

In 1580, the Sanada family got their wish to get Numata Castle, and at the same time, it represented the residence of Numata Castle. It has only been how many years since the Oda family got this place, and how could the Sanada family move their ancestral tomb to this land of the four wars, and only Toyotomi Hideyoshi would believe it.
