Tensho seven years.

The general trend of the world, the wind and clouds, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Several fierce battles of the daimyo turned the world into a chessboard, with the common people and soldiers as their own chess pieces, fighting in the center of the overall situation.

For a while, countless famous masters who had been based for hundreds of years withered in an instant, and the original humble power rose rapidly.

This new and old, the image of reforming the old and the new, in terms of the hexagram in the Book of Changes, is the Dingge.

In Nankaido, the family of Nagamune has shown signs of unifying the four countries.

This is known as the overlord of the four countries, the first leader of the four countries, the head of the Changzong and my department, with his own fierceness, as well as the full mobilization system of the first leader in the territory, with the strength of fifteen years, has successively defeated a strong enemy such as Ichijo Kanding, Motoyama Maochen, An Yun Guohu and so on.

In the third year of Tensho, three months after the battle between Oda and Takeda's Nagashino, in the Battle of Shimantogawa, Nagamune Ibu Motoko defeated the 35,000 army of Ichijo Kaneji with twice the strength of his army, and finally completed the suppression of Tosa Ichikoku.

It stands to reason that it took 15 years to unify a country, and the opportunity to dominate the world has been lost.

However, since the pacification of Tosa Ichikoku, the Chomune family suddenly rose up and launched an invasion of Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo in just a few years.

The Miyoshi family, which was the most influential in Shikoku, gradually weakened after the loss of, and at this time, the head family of Nagamune, who had just completed the unification of Tosa Province, gave the Miyoshi family, who was already about to fall, with the brutal destructive power of the rise of the new power, to make up for the final blow.

After several fierce battles, now the Chozong family has completed the hegemony over the four countries. Begin to look at the land of.

The situation is clear relative to Nankaido.

And in Saikaido, the original Shimazu, Otomo, and Ryuzoji Temple were three-legged situations. The game has been broken.

With the assistance of the ambitious governor Shimazu Yoshihisa and his three capable younger brothers, the Shimazu family completed the suppression of the three kingdoms of Satsuma and Osumi in Kyushu.

Later, in the sixth year of Tensho, the Shimazu family completed the victory of the key Battle of Otagawa against the Otomo family.

After the defeat of Otagawa, the Otomo family belonged to the Kamachi clan. The Kusano clan and the Kuroki clan rebelled one after another.

The original Kyushu Ox Ear Otomo family,Gradually,And there is a trend of Ding Revolution.。 In addition to Shimazu Yoshihisa, there is also Ryuzoji Takanobu, who is known as the bear of Hizen.

The Shimazu family will fight with the Ryuzoji family in a battle to determine the ownership of Kyushu.

Nankaido, Saikaido, is still in the middle of the revolution. As for the five and seven provinces in the world, the situation has gradually become clear.

Compared with Shimazu, Chomune and Ibu who are trying to unify and are local forces. They have taken the first step towards the road of competing for the world.

, which can unite the four directions, is firmly in the hands of the Oda family. It is the strongest force in the world.

Although the central government is in all directions, it is also the most vulnerable to challenges from all sides.

The Maori family who controls the Yamayamayodo Road. It was intending to compete with the Oda family for hegemony in, but the internal nobles were not unified, which greatly weakened their combat power.

In last year's battle for the eastward expansion of the Maori, because of the constraints

And in the Kanto region, where the whole chess game changed, the Takeda family, which held the Nakasendo and Nankaido, and annexed the Uesugi family, was enough to compete for hegemony in in terms of power and the Oda family.

However, the Takeda family was constrained by the powerful Daimyo Hojo family, who had a power of three million stones, and was unable to go to Rakuro and started a war with Oda.

Takeda Hojo competed with each other, attracting the attention of people from all over the world.

Therefore, as the current ruling Takeda family, Takeda Nobuyoshige began his actions.

First of all, in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Takeda Nobuyoshi applied to the imperial court to refer to Hojo as Toyi (i.e., an enemy of the court), so that any daimyo in the world could attack Hojo.

However, this decision was refuted by Emperor Zongtian at the Teoda family.

However, Takeda Nobushige was not reconciled, and continued to use Ashikaga Yoshiaki to capture the Imperial Palace Rebellion, and Uesugi Kenshige, the son of the Kanto Governor Uesugi Ken (Harmony), took over the post of Kanto Governor and held it in his hands. …,

Later, in the name of Uesugi Kenshige, Takeda Nobuyoshi issued a crusade against the Hojo family to the Kanto Kuo, following the actions of Uesugi Kenshin.

Takeda Nobushige's order was echoed by the Kanto group.

The first is the Date family, and in the process of destroying the Uesugi family, the Date family annexed the part of the former Mutsu and incorporated the Daihoji family, which was subordinate to the Uesugi family, into its own vassal country.

After the annexation of Mutsu, the Date family inevitably clashed with the interests of the Hojo family, so they finally broke the alliance with the Hojo family as Shinshigeru wished.

However, the Date family's strength in the Kanto region has risen sharply, which is enough to have the confidence to turn the face, and this time with the order of Takeda Nobuyoshige, the Date family resolutely joined the camp against the Hojo family.

Takeda Date, after this strong combination, the prestige in the Kanto region has soared.

The Daimyo of Mutsu, who had previously expressed his subordination to the Hojo family, also began to sit and watch.

But at this time, Satake, Utsunomiya, and Yuuki, who were originally subordinate and handed over hostages to Hojo, also raised their flags and defected.

These three major names in Kanto, since the rise of the Hojo family in Kanto, began to accumulate grudges with Hojo, which can be described as a mortal enemy.

In the previous defeat, due to the lack of strength, and to the Hojo family to cede land, hostage, has long held a big breath, this time Takeda Nobuyoshi in the name of the Kanto Governor issued an order, these three resolutely defected, trying to recover the lost territory.

However, these three daimyos did not have a good impression of the Takeda family, and after the Battle of Mimasudo Pass, the Hojo clan Yasu was dead, and Takeda had to restore the alliance with the Hojo clan in order to go to Kamiraku.

At that time, the condition of the Hojo family was that the Takeda family must break the previous alliance with the Satake family, so Takeda Shingen resolutely left the Satake family aside and chose the powerful Hojo.

This time, the Satake family, the reason why they ate back to grass, is not to forgive Takeda's treachery, but to have a deeper hatred for Hojo.

But in any case, the anti-Hojo encirclement network in the Kanto region has gradually taken shape under the operation of Takeda Nobuyoshi's strong hand.

The Hojo family was at a loss for a while in the face of Takeda Nobuyoshiga's diplomatic methods, not because Takeda Nobuyhiro was too clever, but because the Hojo family was too poor.

However, the Hojo clan was not capable of cowardice, and the Hojo family sought an alliance with the Oda family after breaking the alliance with Takeda.

As the so-called enemy of the enemy is the principle of allies, in order to suppress Takeda, a strong enemy, Oda Nobutada can be said to have hit it off and answered immediately, so Hojo and Oda united together to form a new alliance.

Therefore, the Takeda family was attacked by Oda and Hojo from the east and west, and the Oda family was also challenged by Maori and Takeda.

This situation seems complicated, but the situation in the world has been divided into two camps unconsciously.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Takeda, Mori, and Date are the leaders, as well as Satake, Utsunomiya, Yuki and other forces, to form an alliance to fight against the axis of evil led by Hojo and Oda.

All of a sudden, the entire Kanto, and even the whole world, were covered with war clouds, and a big war was about to break out.

And at this moment, the Hida Etsuchu Legion in Hokuriku Province took the lead and opened the prelude to this general battle that involved most of the forces in the world.

In September of the seventh year of Tianzheng, Li Xiaofei took the main force of the Echichu Army and stepped into the Echizen country. (To be continued)
