Chapter 292: Marching to Mino

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang vented to Nagaragawa, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and it took a long time to calm down, in fact, at this moment, he had a complete plan in his chest.

At present, Li Xiao suddenly occupied Hida, the people's hearts are not convinced, and many local forces have not been consolidated, for Li Xiao, Hida, although it is not big, but with his strength, it is impossible to cover everything and completely control all places.

And Sister Xiaolu's family has been operating in Hida for a hundred years, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, whether it is against people's hearts or the location, they can deal with Li Xiao on these two points.

Sister Koji Yoritsuna decided to lead the remnants of the samurai in his family to return to Hida, and take advantage of Li Xiao's unstable foothold to attack Hida's territory.

If Li Xiao led his troops to clear up, he would retreat to Hachiman Castle in the county, and Li Xiao would not dare to come to suppress it, in short, Li Xiao would not be able to settle down.

But this premise must be supported by Keritaka Endo.

Sister Koji Yoritsuna thought about it and persuaded Endo to return to Hachiman Castle in the county, preparing to persuade Endo Keitaka, the head of the Endo family, to agree to the matter.

Gujo Hachiman Castle, castle tower.

After listening to Sister Koji Yoritsuna's statement, Endo Keitaka hesitated and said, "Sister Koji-sama, have you decided?" Li Xiaonai is a famous general, and now that the sister Xiaolu family is newly defeated, Your Excellency is not his opponent for the time being. I think it's better to wait for the right time, and then enter Hida and recover the territory. ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang immediately said: "Lord Endo, a momentary frustration is nothing, when the Yuan Lai Dynasty was in trouble, he also hid in the hollow of the rotten wood, and then finally became the lord of the world. My sister Xiaolu Laigang's ambition to revive the family business is as solid as a rock, and it cannot be easier. ”

"And at the moment, Li Xiao's foothold in Hida is not stable, if once he consolidates his power and subdues the hearts of Hida's people, then I will never have any hope of recovering the territory in the future."

Endo Qinglong still hesitated after hearing this, he was not against Sister Koji Lai Gang recovering his sister Koji family, but at the moment, Sister Koji was obviously in Hida's general trend, and harassing like Sister Koji Yoritsuna could certainly bring some trouble to Li Xiao, but it could not be reversed fundamentally, and the Takeda family occupied the situation of Hida.

And if the Endo family supports his sister Koji Yoritsuna's actions, then it will not be good if Li Xiaoqian is angry in the future and ignites the war to Minong.

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang also saw Endo Qinglong's hesitation, but he immediately glanced at his sister and Endo Qinglong's wife, who was sitting quietly on the side.

The other party understood, got up slightly and put a cup of hot tea in front of Endo Qinglong, and then showed a crying expression, and said: "Husband, I have just lost my father, and there is only such a brother in the family now, this world is so big, and only you can help your sister Xiaolu's family, and please have mercy on your husband." ”

When Endo Qingtaka heard his wife say this, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, but he couldn't decide for a while, so he could only sigh.

Seeing this scene, Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang's face sank, and he said: "Endo-sama, thank you for taking in you for the past month, whether you have received your help or not, my sister Xiaolu family is deeply impressed. But the revenge of killing my father cannot be avenged, and it is even more urgent to restore the family name, even without the help of Your Excellency, but even if I am alone, it cannot stop my sister Xiaolu Lai Gang's determination to restore the family business. ”

After speaking, Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang stood up and turned around and left.

Seeing that his sister Koji Yoritsuna was about to leave, Endo Qingtaka finally stretched out his hand and said, "Sister Koji-sama, please wait." ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang turned his back to Endo Qinglong and showed a cold smile, but then turned around and said solemnly: "Endo-sama, before parting, what else do you want to give me?" ”

Endo Qingtaka gently patted the back of his wife's hand to show comfort, then stood up and said: "Sister Xiaolu-sama, if you do this, you are trapping me in injustice, I am not unwilling to help Your Excellency, but I just think that Your Excellency may not be able to shake the Takeda family, but since Your Excellency is determined to do so, I can only help." ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Thank you so much Endo-sama." ”

Endo Qinglong smiled slightly and said, "Don't be polite, this is a moral matter, and I will never watch from the sidelines." ”

Although Endo Qinglong said this, he was actually muttering in his heart, even if he helped his sister Xiaolu Laigang, it would not hurt, anyway, the direction of the Takeda Army's future strategy was Yuezhong, and it was impossible to stick his hand in Mino, and even if Li Xiaoxingbing asked for the crime, he was conceited and not afraid of the other party.

As for offending Li Xiao, anyway, when the battle of Tianshen Mountain City was combined, the Takeda family had already been offended, and it was not bad this time. …,

So he immediately promised his sister Xiaolu to come down.

After the Hida country entered October, Li Xiao has been very busy, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Hida had just calmed down, and big and small things came one after another, making him feel powerless to deal with it.

In terms of military strategy, there are also Shima Katsuto, Kinoshita Koichiro, and Kohata Xiaoxian to help share, and in terms of government affairs, although the two of them were used by Li Xiao as cattle and shared a lot of political affairs for Li Xiao, the matter was still not resolved.

The local civil unrest of Jiangma's family and sister's Xiaolu family was easily quelled, but the local people fell into a predicament in life.

Needless to say, Hida is barren, and Sister Xiaolu, Jiangma's family has been fighting again and again in recent years, and the production in the generals has been delayed.

What Li Xiao inherited was tantamount to a mess.

So appeasing the locals and giving relief to the people became the first priority.

Fortunately, after Li Xiao obtained the Guiyun Golden Mountain now, he was not short of money, and he could also win the hearts of the local people with this move, so he did his best to promote this matter.

That's it, but there was a problem on the side of the family, and Imagawa Hojo raised the price of salt again, and the price of salt in Kai was six times higher than usual.

So even if Takeda Shingen didn't make a sound, Li Xiao knew that he should transport salt to Kai Nei and level the local salt price.

Originally, Li Xiao had a plan to transport salt to Jiafei Shinano, but it was sudden, so there was a rush between operations.

It was inconvenient to run salt from Hida to Shinano, and the Hida Mountain Road was in poor condition, so it took a long time. In addition, it had to be transported to Shinano before the heavy snow closed the mountain in Hida, and the time was limited, so the matter of transporting salt became a top priority.

In the face of the inconvenience of the Hida Mountain Road, Li Xiao was very attentive to rectify the internal roads of Hida.

At present, Li Xiao is gathering the local hungry homeless, as well as the local non-human and mountain people, for the purpose of building roads and cities.

Non-people, mountain people, all belong to the four classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, and are at the bottom of the class.

Non-humans, mountain people all live in the wilderness, have no qualifications to be conscripted as peasants, and are not allowed to cultivate farmland, and can only be engaged in the execution of death row prisoners on weekdays, the destruction of sinners' houses, the burial of the dead, the dissection of dead cattle and horses, street cleaning, leather processing, making straw sandals and other lowly jobs in the eyes of people at that time.

Such non-human, the mountain people are not uncommon to Hida, who have been used as a sacred place of exile since the Middle Ages.

In this Hida Rebellion, these people killed their original caretakers, mixed in with the bandits, killed the people, plundered the villages, and their years of oppression turned into a violent release in the city, which was not inferior to the bandits.

At present, Li Xiao led the army to arrest these people, and after beheading several of them, the remaining people could not be put back again, so they could only be arrested to build roads, or sent to Shengang Silver Mountain and returned to Yungui Mountain for mining.

Regarding Feida's plan, Li Xiao had a plan in his heart.

The center of Hida lies in the southern river area, and in order to control this area, it is necessary to build a new town in the middle of it, so that it can be taken care of on all sides.

Therefore, at the beginning, Li Xiao and his sister Xiaolu, the decisive place of the Jiangma family, Tianshen Mountain City, were included in his eyes.

Tenjinyama Castle is a historical Takayama Castle, geographically the center of Hida, not far from Sakurato Castle, and you can reach the highlands Suwa Castle, Guiyun Castle, and Kamioka Castle at the same time as the north.

At that time, Kanamori Nagakin was the lord of the Takayama Domain, and he first took Nabeyama Castle as his main castle, but then felt that the location was inconvenient, so he rebuilt Tenjin Mountain Castle, renamed it Takayama Castle, and moved the castle here.

From 1588 to 1695, the shogunate took it back as a heavenly domain, and it remained the center of Hida for more than 100 years.

Therefore, Li Xiao just used this group of unemployed vagrants to build the internal roads of Hida and rebuild the mountain castle.

In order to further appease Hida's people, Li Xiao also made other arrangements, in fact, this aspect is also Takeda Shingen's request.

Li Xiaoguang's family name of Sister Xiaolu's family is not the bloodline of the original Sister Xiaolu, but the real family of Sister Xiaolu.

In the second year of Hongji (1556), Sister Koji Yoshiyori, who was also called Miki Yoshiyori at the time, captured Kotaka Castle, and expelled the then Hida Country Division's sister Koji Takatsuna, and inherited the name of the Sister Koji family, and was recognized by the imperial court, and the official conferred the Great Nayan that the Governor of the Sister Koji family had always inherited.

Now that Sister Koji Yoshiyori was killed in battle, and Sister Koji Yoritsuna was expelled from Hida, Takeda Shingen invited Sister Koji Takatsuna, who was begging for cold rice at the homes of various ministers, back to Hida through the relationship of his wife Sanjo's family in Kyoto, and regained the family name of Sister Koji's family. …,

So Sister Xiaolu Gaogang was sent by Xinxuan as Li Xiao's horseman, and went directly to Hida.

For this sister Xiaolu Gaogang, Li Xiao once had a headache, after all, this person is the former Hida National Division, and he is the three big people, such a powerful aura is not something that can be suppressed by a small number of people who are under the fifth but the master of the horse.

However, when Li Xiao saw this sister Xiaolu Gaogang, he found that this person actually had an abnormal acquaintance, probably because he had been in Kyoto for many years, which made him understand that in this troubled world, the Shenma Minister, the official position, and the state secretary are all floating clouds.

Even the shogun was demoted, and it was already good that he could live a life now, and now with the grace of Takeda Shingen, he returned to his homeland Hida to avoid the fate of old age and death in a foreign land.

Therefore, Sister Xiaolu Gao Gang was in a very bowed state in front of Li Xiao.

For this situation, Li Xiao is also relieved, and letting go of such a person who was so high in the family back then, pouring tea and running errands under his own hands is also what Li Xiao likes to see.

So Li Xiao asked his sister Xiaolu Gao Gang to be the representative of the high mountain city that had not yet been built, and he led the direct five hundred yuan, so that he could also take care of the face of the former Hida Kuniji.

At the same time, Li Xiao also played the banner of this sister road Gaogang to accommodate the local people, although the sister road family has been broken for a long time, but the local influence is still not small.

Many wealthy families, who were also subordinate to the past, or had blood relatives in the sister Xiaolu family, now see that the sister Xiaolu Gaozun has returned to Hida, and also has the heart to serve the old master.

Facts have proved that the invasion and occupation of other countries is indispensable for local leading parties such as Sister Koji Takatsuna and Asono Keimori.

In this way, Li Xiao further won the hearts of Hida's people.

Li Xiao also recruited many local heroes from Hida, and as a samurai, he stabilized his power.

Of course, in order to eradicate the sister Koji family's desire to restore Hida, Takeda Shingen re-applied to the imperial court for his sister Koji Takatsuna, and asked for the return of Hida Kuniji and the official position of Dainayan.

This was also the practice at that time, in the second year of Eiroku, when Takeda Shingen was about to conquer almost all of Shinano, that is, he obtained the position of Shinano guardian from Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so that he could attack Shinano and fight against Uesugi Kenshin in Kawanakajima to become more justified.

And after the sister Koji Takatsunami was subordinate to the Takeda family, so Takeda Shingen had the name of righteousness to rule Hida.

And Sister Xiaolu Takatsuna has never had descendants, at that time, Takeda Shingen could have ordered a son and nephew in the family to succeed him, and he would inherit the family name of his sister Xiaolu family in the future, and from then on, he would firmly control the sister Xiaolu family in his hands.

Just when Takeda Shingen and Li Xiao's methods gradually made Hida's governance formal, at this time, Sakurato City brought Li Xiao extremely bad news.

Fresh in office for half a month, the buttocks have not yet been hot, in the main city of Sakurato City, was attacked by the Hida people led by the sister Koji Yoritsuna.

Masanobo was defeated in the battle, and he was wounded, and finally led the remnants of the samurai to retreat into Sakurato Castle to defend it.

Li Xiao was immediately shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly led Qi Benbei to rescue Sakura Cave City.

When Li Xiao led the Qibenbei army to Sakura Cave City, his sister Xiaolu Lai Gang had already retreated.

Although Sakurato Castle was not captured by Yoritsuna, the town of the castle and the surrounding villages were burned to the ground by Yoritsuna, the sister Koji Yoritsuna.

In the face of such a barren scene, Li Xiao was naturally furious, and was about to lead people to pursue his sister Koji Yoritsuna, and cut it with a thousand knives, at this time, according to Yokotani Yukishige's ninja report, the people of Sister Koji Yoritsuna, obviously very familiar with the terrain of Hida, come and go like the wind, as soon as they heard the news of Li Xiao's troops, they fled from Hida through the mountains overnight, and retreated to Shinano's county Hachiman Castle, entrusted to the protection of the Endo family.

For his sister Lu Lai Gang hiding far away, Li Xiao couldn't find his sister Lu Lai Gang to settle accounts for a while.

At that moment, Li Xiao could only appease the horse farm letter room, and led the army to guard the Sakura Cave City in the tun to help the other party clean up the aftermath.

While Li Xiao was dealing with the aftermath, he was thinking about how to eradicate the poisonous weed of his sister Lu Laigang.

At this time, a bold idea floated in Li Xiao's mind, his sister Xiaolu Lai Gang was so arrogant, didn't he rely on himself to take refuge under Shinano's Endo family, and he couldn't send troops.

If this is the case, Li Xiao wants to give him color, and he can't let him be proud.

Everyone thinks that I won't go to Mino, but I just want to go to Mino.

If he can capture Gujo Hachiman Castle, he can quietly stumble on him before Oda Nobunaga captures Inabayama Castle and unifies the entire territory of Mino......
