Chapter 610: The Burnt Letter

Tensho eight years.

The spring snow melted, and this was also the first year that the Takeda family, the new overlord of the world, was in charge of the world.

After the success of the Takeda family, they conquered more than a dozen countries, countless of which were clans or divisions, and the area under their jurisdiction was several times more than the original.

The Takeda family's guardians of each country are also in the name of a country's guardianship, leading their respective samurai regiments to take over the territory.

In the Battle of Sekigahara, the wealthy clans of the territory that were defeated or attached to the side of the Oda family were first cleaned up or cut down to make room for new holders.

Many of the countrymen were given death or committed suicide by seppuku.

The samurai, who were originally attached, lost their main family and became ronin.

These unwilling samurai and ronin are in the territory, setting off the countrymen, villagers, or all kinds of things, so that the new guardian daimyo are too busy.

Of the five countries, Omi is still better, while the rest of the regions, such as Mino and Owari Ikwa, are round after round, and even Ichimune is involved.

It took three months, or even half a year, for the daimyo in these places to reluctantly put down the local rebellion.

But for the Takeda family, the real hardest hit areas were Ise, Iga, and Kii.

Needless to say, Ise was originally planned to be the skill of the Takeda family, but in fact, the situation in Ise is complicated, with 49 wealthy families in Northern Ise and the Kitada family in the south who have been here for many years.

In order to conquer Ise, Oda Nobunaga successively let his younger brother Oda Nobunpo and his son Oda Nobutaka. Oda Nobuo, who succeeded the Ise wealthy clans such as Kudo, Kobe, and Kitada families, used softness and force to suppress the situation in Ise in two ways.

And as soon as the power of the Oda family is gone, these small wealthy families that were originally dormant have resurfaced.

Takeda Nobuyori used his direct legions several times to encircle and suppress, but these Takeda family masters were busy suppressing the wealthy families in their own country. There is no intention to send troops to reinforce them, and the strength of their own army is slightly weak, so they cannot suppress these wealthy clans.

Therefore, the situation on both sides is to stop and stop in Ise, negotiate with these wealthy families on the one hand, and consolidate their territory on the other.

The wealthy clans of Ise fought and surrendered, surrendered and rebelled. It's as tough as psoriasis.

However, there is still a mountain high, and compared to the other two countries, the situation in Ise is very fortunate.

Kii Province is the only country on the Honshu Province and the Nankai Province.

The Kii Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the country is mostly hilly. Due to its proximity to Heiankyo, it is one of the earliest territories to be developed on Honshu Island.

The Takeda family is going to enter Kii Province, Nobusada Kohata, and Masatsuki Naito.

Nobutasha Kohata is mainly a piece of Kitaki. And Masatsuki Naito is a piece of Minamiki.

But the two of them were resisted by the two major local forces of Kii, the Nerai and the Saga Party, no, it should be a big attack.

The Saga Party lies in the western part of Kii Province. There are mercenary corps organized by the local organizations of the five townships of Zahezhuang, Shixiang, Zhongchuan Township, Nanxiang, and Gongxiang.

Its forces numbered in the thousands, and most of them were equipped with iron cannons, and they were also engaged in maritime trade, and their leaders were all called Sakaga Sunichi.

And the other major force is even more powerful. The Genrai are the monks of Genraiji Temple, and Genraiji Temple is a temple that believes in Shingon Buddhism

At the end of the Warring States period, a powerful force was formed.

At that time, there were as many as 450 workshops (2,700 in some cases) in Neraiji Temple, forming a major religious city in.

The temple territory of Genraiji Temple has a staggering 720,000 stones.

You must know that the monks of Kii Province are only 224,000 stones.

And these 720,000 stones, they have always concealed the land property for Genlai Temple, and refused to inspect the land for protection.

The Roots are definitely the best of the Kii countries, and relying on this powerful stone high, the temple has organized a military gathering of more than 10,000 monks and soldiers.

The monks of Genrai Temple are uniformly equipped with Tanegashima iron cannons, which can be called many soldiers and artillery. …,

When Nobunaga attacked Honganji, he was attacked by two major groups of monks in Kii.

At that time, the power of the Oda family was still helpless for a while, not to mention the current Kohata Nobusada, Naito Masatsuki.

The two men took their national samurai regiment and entered Kii, after Wakayama Castle.

It was surrounded by 20,000 troops of these two forces in Wakayama Castle, and was attacked and gunned.

After some embarrassment, the Takeda family invited the Koyasan Shingon Sect and the lord of Shinmiyagi Castle, Horiuchi Clanzen, to mediate, which made the two major forces of Kii stop and rescued Nobusada Kohata and Masatsuki Naito.

And the matter of Kii Province can be described as a big loss of face for Takeda Nobuyoshige.

But the most fatal thing was the large-scale riots in Iga Province.

Because Iga Province is surrounded by mountains, it was known as a hidden country at the time.

Iga Province was no more than 100,000 koku, but the situation was even more chaotic than Ise, with a total of sixty-six factions, and these small forces united and refused to serve the daimyo of other countries, and were called Sokuni Ichiku.

Of course, the most terrifying and powerful thing about Iga is of course its unpredictable ninja crowd.

The Ninjas of Iga Province and the Ninja of Omi Koga Province are all legends in the history of the Warring States Period, and the corresponding to Iga is the fifty-three families of Koga who have made great contributions in the Hook Array.

During the time of Ashikaga Yoshishang, the ninth shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate, the Omi Rokkaku daimyo Rokkaku Takayori had already shown his heart to conquer the temple and not only swallowed the territory of the temple shrine, but also reached into the shogunate's hidden place in Omi.

This move was of course a provocation to the prestige of the shogunate, and at the moment Ashikaga Yoshisho led the shogunate to serve the samurai, as well as a large army to crusade against the Rokkaku, which is the historical hook array.

At that time, Rokkaku Takayori was defeated, abandoned the main castle Kannonji Castle, and instead fled to the Kaga-Iga mountains, and relied on local ninjas to launch a surprise attack on the Ashikaga shogunate army.

This battle of the ninjas against the shogunate army lasted for three years, and Ashikaga Yoshisho finally fell ill and died in the battle.

The Ashikaga shogunate eventually withdrew its troops, and the Rokkaku family succeeded in completing the feat of Shimokatsu in Omi, and the Koga ninja who participated in the battle were thanked by the Rokkaku family.

When Takeda Nobuyoshi divided the kingdoms of the world this time, he didn't think about messing with this Iga ninja at all, so he didn't put it in the division.

But this time, Koga, the Iga ninjas, came out of the mountains one after another, took the initiative, and attacked the castle from Tokaido, near Higashiyamado.

These ninjas not only have the same demands, some want to make a profit, and some want to get a samurai background in the new regime of the Takeda family.

Except for Takeda Nobushi, who was suffering from the fact that the domestic situation could not be calmed down, even if it was at the end of the eighth year of Tensho, the overlord of the four countries, the family of Nagamune, completed the conquest of the four countries.

This time, he actually sent a naval army to attack Awaji Province, and looking at the momentum of the head relatives of Nagamune, he actually had the momentum of setting foot in, and echoed with the roots of Kii Province and the Saga Party.

And because the time for the territory to be pacified greatly exceeded his expectations, Takeda Nobuyoshi had to stop the expedition of the four countries that had been planned.

According to the current situation, the Takeda family must first calm the territory and complete internal stability. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Shuhaige to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
