Chapter 432: Hokuriku Province is the strongest
In front of Hatakeyama Yoshikei, the retainers of the Hatakeyama family stated their opinions to Nagajiren, believing that under the siege of the Takeda army, it was impossible to hold out any longer, and that it was necessary to open the castle and surrender as soon as possible.
And the last opinion of these retainers was not accepted for a long time, and in his crazy despair, he imprisoned these retainers of the Hatakeyama family.
On the other hand, they are ready to send people to arrest their families and hundreds of people in their clan, and prepare to kill them all overnight.
However, this move for a long time leaked the news.
The clans of these retainers made preparations in advance and began to resist before the samurai of the Chang family came to the door.
A long series of operations were blocked.
And in desperation, these people set fire everywhere in Nanao Castle, and also opened the door of the city and let the Takeda army under the mountain enter the city.
The fire of the civil strife in the Seven Tails City was immediately discovered by the Takeda Army, and after confirming that the news was correct, Li Xiao immediately ordered Kano Hideji to lead three hundred people and immediately enter the city from the Tsutemon.
The Hatakeyama army was in turmoil at this moment, and when they saw the Takeda army entering the city, they did not put up much resistance, that is, they fled in all directions.
The Takeda Army attacked Nanao Castle.
In the chaos of Nanao Castle, Nagasuren saw that the situation was out of control, and the Takeda army entered the city again, and only then did he realize that the situation was out of control.
Nagatsuren led more than 100 Nagaya samurai, as well as his two sons, Nagasuna Ren, and Nagaren Ryu, and retreated into Honmaru.
Chang Lian wanted to rely on this place to resist stubbornly, and he was ready to use Hatakeyama Yoshikei, the head of the Hatakeyama family, as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Li Xiao in exchange for the opportunity for Hatakeyama and the two clans of the Nagayama family to continue to live in Noto.
After all, in terms of name, Hatakeyama Yoshikei is the hereditary guardian of Noto recognized by the shogunate, and if he wants to consolidate Noto's rule, Li Xiao must give Hatakeyama Yoshikei respect and recognize the other party's place.
This is also the rule of the samurai family.
However, Li Xiao ignored all this, and now that the shogunate has perished, the name of the samurai is just a joke.
Just as Nobunaga can destroy Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the pattern of the world has changed, and it is no longer feasible to stick to the old rules.
He gave an order to Hideji Kano, that is, he directly entered the castle tower, and no one from the Nagagawa family or the Hatakeyama family remained.
With the assistance of the rebels of the Masayama family, the Takeda army smashed the city hammer and smashed through the main gate of Honmaru.
The Takeda Army and the Changshan rebels rushed into the Honmaru and killed the people who were standing, ignoring Yu Changsu's repeated requests for surrender.
In desperation, the samurai of the Changshan family carried out a frantic resistance and gave the Takeda army a certain amount of casualties, and all this could not be reversed.
Nagatsune Ryu was hacked to death by the rebels, and Nagasuna was bombarded into a sieve by the iron cannons of the Takeda Army in front of the gate of the castle tower.
He continued to take Hatakeyama Yoshikei, the head of the Changshan family, and more than 20 people, and fled into the last five-story castle tower in the city.
I want to take advantage of the terrain here and resist with iron cannons and bows and arrows.
Hideji Kano led his army through the gate of the castle tower, killing them layer by layer, and finally in the last layer, the bodies of Nagajiren and Hatakeyama Yoshikei were found, as well as the martyrdom of the gate.
After Hideji Kano took off the heads of these two people, he purged the Honmaru in Nanao Castle, acquiesced in the looting, burned and looted, and burned the Honmaru.
This is also what Li Xiao meant, try his best to make this matter the result of chaos and chaos, and then destroy all the evidence that is unfavorable to him.
On September 29, the first year of Tensho, the first rays of sunlight in the sky shone on Nanao Bay.
Nanao Castle was captured by the Takeda Army.
Li Xiao rode the black forge, surrounded by hundreds of warriors and nearly a thousand foot light, and entered the Seven Tails City.
From the Otemon Gate, on the road leading to Honmaru, the corpses along the way have been cleaned up, and the blood stains of Danshi's overnight battle are clearly revealed. …,
Li Xiao just glanced at it, and then continued to look straight up to the top of the mountain without squinting.
In one of the side halls of Ninomaru, because the main pill has been destroyed, Li Xiao will be able to gather the wealthy clan here to discuss the matter of blocking the territory.
From Onkai Keitaka, Yusa Xuguang and below, such as Miyake Nagamori, Kai in-family, Dohi kinma, Awayu Shichiro, Makino Kamisuke, Sugihara Izumi and other more than a dozen Noto wealthy families gathered in the house.
These people sat in a row, their hands on the ground, and faced Li Xiao in a kneeling posture.
And Li Xiao held a horsewhip in his hand, sitting on the stacked seats, Kano Hideji, Shioka Kazuha, Yamamoto Kanzo, Uchijima Clan and other generals all stood aside with swords.
Li Xiao slowly spoke: "This time, I, Li Xiao, can capture Nengdeng, all of which depends on your efforts, and I don't want to say more about it here." In this troubled times, what everyone is chasing is the inheritance of the family name, and the benefit of the security of the territory. ”
Li Xiao said what everyone was thinking in one breath, which made the people present a little embarrassed.
Li Xiao smiled and handed over the security documents that had been prepared to the people present for inspection.
On top of the security documents, Li Xiao did everything according to the promise he made with the Noeng Hao clan before, and rewarded the Noh Deng Hao clan who defected from the Changshan family this time and helped him attack Qiwei City.
The territory of Wenjing Jinglong was changed, and the territory was moved from Fengzhi County to Haza County in the middle of Noto, and in Li Xiao's plan, the main city of the Wenjing family, Paradise City, and Wajima Minato will be included as direct leaders in the future as development.
However, the Wenjing family's original 32,000 stone Zhixing was retained, and Li Xiao also gave him an additional 5,000 stone territory as compensation.
Although Wenjing Jinglong was not satisfied with this, he did not complain.
And You Zuo Xuguang is still the security of 20,000 stone Zhixing in Zhuzhou County, and Li Xiao added 3,000 stone to him as Wanxing.
You Zuo Xuguang gladly accepted this.
As for the other people who followed Li Xiao to attack Qiwei City, they also got the security of their original territory and the increase of a certain territory.
The security of these people's lands almost accounted for nearly half of the stone height of the Nengden country, and the remaining more than 100,000 stones were directly included in the direct collar of Li Xiao's family.
This is why Li Xiao wanted to eradicate Hatakeyama, the Naga family, and the Sanbaoji family at the beginning, and the names of these three families.
Because the land of 210,000 stones can be climbed, it has been divided by these forces and is full.
If Li Xiao wants to become the owner of Nengdeng and obtain benefits, he must redivide the original interest structure.
If these three families are not destroyed, then where will the reward for the local people of Nengden who follow his side come from?
Only from the body of the three families.
This is what was commonly done during the Warring States period, such as Shingen, and Nobunaga's actions were even more excessive than Li Xiao's.
When the Takeda family destroyed the Imagawa family, there were many Katsuyama families who relied on it.
Later, Shingen eradicated the Suruga Kingdom's prestige clan and incorporated its power into the Takeda category, so he found an excuse to kill the Katsuyama clan and let his son inherit the name of the Katsuyama family.
As for Nobunaga's treacherous and unrighteous destruction of the Kitabatake family, there is no need to say much.
And the biggest interest of Notogen, which is the most important, must be for Li Xiao to take over it alone, so Hatakeyama, the Chang family, and the Sanbao Temple family must be sacrificed, otherwise even if Li Xiao defeats Noto, the power will not be stable.
Under such a blockade, the people who followed Li Xiao's side got the benefits to be gained, while the rebels were defeated and wiped out, so there was no need to think about the end, and it also made the rest of the people who had the brains to judge know which side to stand on.
After the issuance of the security blocking document, the people of all countries who could really get on the board were happy, and they all accepted Li Xiao's security with sincerity and signed their own monogram on it.
If there is any dispute, Masuda Nagamori next to Li Xiao wrote clearly on the subordinate, and after confirming that it is correct one by one, Li Xiao attached his own flower to the document for confirmation. …,
In the end, these security documents must also be sent to the Tsurugasaki Museum, and Takeda Katsuyori himself will stamp the dragon seal, so that the security documents can be regarded as truly effective.
However, this Noto land is definitely owned by Li Xiao, which is beyond doubt, and these Noto people will also serve as the strength of the Hida Yuechu Army.
This was also the norm at the time of the Warring States period.
In this way, Nengden is officially owned by Li Xiao.
In the entire Hokuriku Province, Li Xiao has the three kingdoms of Noto, Echichu, and Sado, and has become the strongest force in Hokuriku Province by overpowering Honganji Temple and the Uesugi family.
But now, for Li Xiao, a new problem is in front of him after conquering the country, that is, how to deal with the relationship with his own family.
Now the entire territory of Nengden is occupied by Li Xiao.
The capture of Noto and Sado, as well as the retreat of the two armies of Oda and Uesugi were enough to make people in the world aware of the rise of another powerful power in Hokuriku.
Li Xiao even now that his own power is subordinate to the Takeda family, Danshi is very independent, and the affairs within the territory are almost decided by him.
Li Xiao now holds Hokuriku Province, Noto Province (210,000 stone), Sado Province (17,000 stone), Etsuchugoku Prefecture (about 320,000 stone), Nakasendo Hida Province (38,000 stone), and Mino Province (70,000 stone), with a total stone height of between 650,000 and 66 stone.
In terms of Shi Gao alone, Li Xiao's power was already on a par with the Uesugi family that was entrenched in Echigo and Higashi-Ueno at this time.
Not to mention Li Xiao, there are also two major mines of Kamioka and Sado, as well as maritime trade with Ming and Portugal.
The current Li Xiao is already a headache for his own family.
Even if Takeda Katsuyori trusts himself again, Li Xiao doesn't think that under such a situation, how long can his trust in himself be supported.
Even if Li Zheng and Yumi Kohata are both in Kai, as hostages in disguise, it is difficult to ensure peace of mind.
If it goes on like this, the subordinates are too strong, and one day, even if Li Xiao himself does not oppose it, the Takeda family will regard it as an external force and reject it, so Li Xiao has to reconsider his position.
How to ensure the power of the Hida Echichu Legion to reduce Katsuyori's suspicion of himself and the repulsion of the Takeda family's retainers to him.
On that day, Li Xiao thought about it all night and made a decision.
Li Xiao decided to seal the racecourse Changfang, and Takenaka regovered the territory of the two, with a total of 50,000 stone high.
Baba Masabo and Takenaka Shigeharu have always been in the capacity of direct ministers, as the party sent to Li Xiao by the family, and the performance of their duties.
Masabo Masabo as the deputy general, and Shigeharu Takenaka as the military officer, both of them are enough to restrain Li Xiao in terms of power setting.
However, although the two of them can be restrained in power, Danshi's respective strength is not enough.
Li Xiao increased the territory of Machang Changfang to 30,000 stones, and Zhuzhong Shigeji was conferred 20,000 stones.
In this way, although these two people were called by Li Xiao, Danshi was nominally a direct minister after all, and their territory was not included in Li Xiao's control.
This is just one of them, and the next thing is marriage.
After Li Xiao attacked the land of 210,000 stones, his power had risen sharply.
His two generals, Shima Katsu and Kinoshita Hidenaga, had been fighting in Mino and Echichu before, defending themselves against Oda and Uesugi for their outstanding achievements and must be rewarded, and the status of the two of them as genealogy retainers was further crowned Zhixing.
Shimakatsu Takeshi will directly serve as the lord of Kajida Castle, command the Mino, and carry out the defense of the Oda family.
And Shima Katsumo's Zhixing Land was increased to 30,000 stone by Li Xiaojia in one go, and Kinoshita Hidenaga also officially became the lord of Matsukura Castle, and Zhixing was 25,000 stone.
Shimakatsu Takeshi was married and had children, so Li Xiao asked Kinoshita Hidecho to marry the daughter of Baba Nobubo, and Kimoto Bito Tang Takatora married the daughter of the late Takeda family general Hara Torayin, and Hara Torayin's other daughter married Kohata Masamori, the deputy general of the Kitashinano Army. …,
This marriage move is to bring Li Xiao's internal retainers closer to the connection with Jiafei's internal retainers.
In this way, the rejection of the Hida Echichu Corps within the Takeda family was alleviated.
Li Xiao attached his plan to the security document of the Noto Hao clan overnight, and sent someone to the Kusaki Pavilion together, which was decided by Takeda Katsuyori.
What Li Xiao doesn't know at the moment is that there is no time to pay attention to the Takeda family at the moment, and his capture of Noto, a more eye-catching thing, has happened in front of him.
Suruga Province, Sunpu Castle.
A group of mounted samurai who arrived from Ejiri Castle rushed all the way to this place, and after arriving at a local residence, the group of mounted samurai turned over and dismounted.
Directly into the building.
The residence is surrounded by the samurai of the Takeda family, and it is obviously heavily guarded.
As soon as the group of samurai on horseback entered the gate, they were intercepted.
"Who is coming, don't you know that this is an important museum in this city? Running around at will, don't you want to die? ”
When the group of horseback warriors heard this, they were immediately furious, and the leader of the group, seeing that his subordinates were about to attack, immediately waved his horsewhip and said, "Forget it, don't argue, report our identities." ”
Hearing this, the subordinate looked at the warrior and said, "Stupid, don't you even recognize Lord Yama County Guard?" ”
"Oh! It turned out to be Admiral Akabi. ”
The samurai finally recognized the other party as the famous Yama Yama Masakei, and immediately took a step back and saluted.
Shan Shan Changjing looked at each other and said, "Yagata Gong, is it in the house now?" ”
The samurai sighed and said, "Lord Hui, Yagata Gong arrived yesterday, and he has been traveling all the way, and now it is estimated that he has recovered his spirit and can meet him." ”
Shan Shan Changjing nodded, and immediately said to the warrior behind him, "You guys are waiting here." ”
After speaking, Changjing of Shanxian County entered the pavilion alone.
When Yama Yama Changjing walked to the inner gate, he was stopped by two men wearing plain jackets and armed with katanas.
"Who?"
Hearing these two people speaking with a Kyoto accent, Yama Yama Changjing immediately said, "Please report to me, saying that Yama County Saburo Guard, come to meet His Highness Yagata." ”
The other party had obviously also heard of the reputation of Changjing in Shanxian County, and the next person said: "Your Excellency, please wait here first, and I will report it." ”
Hearing this, Shan Changjing nodded and waited behind the door.
Soon after, the man returned to the door and said to Changjing of Shanxian County: "Lord Shanxian, your Excellency said that Your Excellency can enter." ”
Shan County Changjing bowed slightly, but at this time, the other party coughed slightly, and gestured with his eyes to the knife and ribs on Shan County Changjing's waist.
Shan County Changjing will take off the knife, and the other party will take it offended.
After that, under the guidance of one person, Changjingfang walked through the corridor and entered, and then led into a side room.
"Please wait here, your adult is still changing."
After finishing speaking, the man stepped back, and Changjing of Shan County sat upright, waiting patiently, not daring to show any slackness.
After a long time, an old man's dull cough was heard outside the house, and an old man in his seventies with a white beard slowly walked into the side room.
Changjing, Shanxian County, heard the footsteps and buried his head lower at the moment.
I heard that the old man seemed to slowly sit down on the central folding seat, then put his sleeve robe together, and then asked, "You are the younger brother of Iitomi Genshiro?" ”
Shan County Changjing sighed and said: "Returning to His Royal Highness Yagata, it is under it." My brother said that he had mentioned to me many times that His Highness was brave and good at fighting, and that he was wise and decisive. ”
"Hmph, zhende? If this is the case for me, why did he, together with Taro, banish me from Kai, leaving me alone for decades and unable to return to Kai for the rest of my life. ”
Hearing the anger in the other party's mouth, Yama Shan Changjing replied calmly: "My brother said that this is the duty of his courtiers, and His Royal Highness Yagata killed too much in Kai back then, and if he didn't go into exile early, it might cause a riot among the countrymen and reproduce the Yaukawa Rebellion back then, so he had no choice but to do so." ”…,
"That's enough, it's over, I don't want to mention it again, where is Shiro Katsuyori now, why don't you come to Suruga to see me."
This old man who spoke was naturally Takeda Nobutora, the grandfather of Takeda Katsuyori, who was exiled by Nobunaga after the defeat of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Takeda Nobuta could not continue to stay in Kyoto without the protection of the Ashikaga family.
Therefore, he rushed to Kaimachi to take a boat, landed in Suruga Province, and returned to the Takeda family's control in order to avoid the Oda family's pursuit of him.
Hearing the news that Takeda Shintora had come to Sunfu Castle, Yama Yama Masaka, as the commander of the Suruga Legion, naturally rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
Shan Shan Changjing replied: "Your Excellency, you can't leave the hall in person, and his special ministers have come down to pick up His Royal Highness Yagata and return to Jiafei. ”
"No, I won't go back to Kai," Takeda Shinhu Huo Ran stood up and said, "After Banheng, Ganli, and Iitomi betrayed and expelled Kai, I made a heavy oath that unless that unfilial son seized the world, I would never take another step in Kai, and the father and son would never see each other again." ”
"Right now, this unfilial son will complete the great cause of Shangluo and die in front of me, and I won't need Jia Fei, which is no longer the place I knew when I believed in the tiger."
Yama County Changjing listened to Takeda Shinto's resolute intentions, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
And Takeda Shintora looked at Yama Prefecture Changjing and said: "This time I returned to Suruga, in fact, there is a matter in the Gongfang Hall that I have asked me, and this matter is related to the Shangluo of the family and the pillars of the samurai family in the world, so I must tell him about it." ”
