This heavy rain temporarily suspended the attack of Uesugi Masato, but did not affect the military operations of Dewa Province, no matter how powerful the typhoon is, after all, there is a core of the eye of the storm, compared to the stormy rain in the Kanto region and the heavy rain in the Echichu region, the Izuwa country is relatively calmer, and the heavy rain has been raining for more than 20 days, extinguishing all the dryness accumulated in the past few months.

The Kira army advanced step by step along the fixed plan, and at the beginning of May, they captured Tiantong Castle and Enzawa Castle respectively and forced the last two roads of the countrymen to surrender to Mogami Bayu, the old Tendo Lai Dao personally surrendered and knelt at the feet of Kira Yoshi, crying bitterly, and when the old few hundred people of the Tendo clan followed the old governor out of the city to meet Kira Yoshi, they saw Tendo Lai Zhen frightened like a little quail and shrunk behind his father, and Kira knew that he had won the bet.

Mogami Hachiyu was frightened by the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Kira army, and in any case could not raise the courage to fight to the death with the Kira family, the retired hometown governor Tendo Yorido led hundreds of members of the Tendo clan out of the city to surrender, which fully illustrated the fear of the people of the Izuwa country, and from then on the Kira family could run rampant in the Izuwa country.

On the other side, Yanzawa Manshige of Yanzawa Castle also used similar means to open the city and surrender, and a family of hundreds of people could only shrink on the ground and tremble in the face of the arrogant Takigawa Shiyi, to the point that it was not that they were too timid but that the Kira army was too strong, and the fifteen thousand army had almost no losses, and in the blink of an eye, all the five thousand captives were converted into their own army, and along the way, the army marched from Tagawa County, Mogami County, and even Murayama County to the servant army of seven or eight thousand people, and this blink of an eye made the Kira army skyrocket from 15,000 to 28,000 people.

Such a huge army almost includes most of the essence of the four prefectures of Hazen, and even the Hanhe Jiang clan and the Shiratori clan have joined the main force of the Kira army, and the Hosokawa Naogen of the Hosokawa clan in Oshu has run over to get close to Kira Yoshitoki. Kira Yoshitoki was very satisfied with the actions of this kin. Special to give him a generous treatment.

He immediately recognized his identity as a fellow Ashikaga clan. As Hosokawa Fujitaka's attendant Kasuga Yama Castle, the territory of more than a dozen small villages in Dewa Province was also transferred to Higashi-Ueno Province Seta County in a word, and the territory increased by 1,000 koku compared to the original, and became a 5,000-stone territory and became a retainer of the reserve general, and in the future, his family should not be called the Oshu Hosokawa clan but should be called the Ueno Hosokawa clan.

The so-called irreversible trend of the general trend is like this, Mogami Hachiki was incorporated into the Dewa Legion by Kira Yoshitoki, and the number of people who were separated from the number of Ashigaru generals to the reserve generals ranged, and Enozawa Manshige officially announced his retirement from the position of family governor, and gave up the position to his youngest son Nobu, who was only fifteen years old.

Tiantong Yorizhen and Yanzawa Manyan are naturally also the new genealogy retainers of the Yoshiro period. And the permission to be given to the commander was that the laws within the territory must follow the laws of the Kira family, and all government decrees, finance, taxation, and military service must follow closely, so that the important source in the hands of the Yanzawa clan, the Yanzawa Ginzan, will be transferred to the hands of Kira Yoshitoki.

Mogami County was restored in a blink of an eye, and the people of Murayama County also surrendered when they heard the voice, and Kira Yoshitoki and Mogami Yoshimitsu walked side by side into Yamagata Castle, and held a simple and solemn inheritance ceremony for the family governor in the afternoon of the same day, Mogami Yoshimori reluctantly passed the position of family governor to Mogami Gengoro Yoshimitsu, and from now on, Mogami Yoshimitsu is the eleventh generation of the Dewa Mogami clan.

Later, Kira Yoshitoki announced that he would soon ask the shogunate to give Mogami Yoshimitsu Dewa probe and Ukyo doctor. And to protect him as the shogunate's royal companion and royal offerings, the Mogami family in Murayama County, Mogami County to lead the blockage. He served as the general of the Kami-Ashikaga family Izuha Legion, and promoted Mogami Yoshimitsu as a member of the Kami-Ashikaga family.

A series of wonderful gifts into the picture made the Mogami clan genealogy rejoicing, at this moment even the blind can see Mogami Yoshimitsu next to a big tree, in a blink of an eye will Mogami Yoshimori dream of the total general of the dewa to get his hands, won the high recognition of Kira Yoshishi to become his one, the old family of the spectrum to enjoy the five three tong side pattern, this is not just hugging the tree but hugging a thick and strong thigh.

Mogami Yoshimitsu also lived up to expectations, and his first order as the governor of the family was to be loyal to the Kamiki Ashikaga clan, and the family should be fully aligned with Echigo's government decree, and he himself would spend half a year in Kasuga Yamajo Castle to serve, and the second order was to abolish his father's marriage with the Date clan, a native of Zhizhi County, and instead marry his sister Mogami Yoshihime to Kira Yoshitoki as the side room lady.

The Genealogy of the Mogami clan looked at the young family governor one by one dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand what this joy and surprise was, but fortunately, there were still many smart people in the crowd, and they soon understood that Kira Yoshishito's promotion of Mogami Yoshimitsu was not because he liked the young family governor to engage in public ways, but because he looked at Mogami Yoshihime, the first beauty in the Mogami family.

Mogami Yoshimitsu is well known to his lover of his sister-in-law, and if she marries into the Kamiki Ashikaga family, it will not only strengthen the marriage relationship between the two families, but also be like a chain that pulls the Dewa Mogami clan onto the warship of Kira Yoshishi, and the eldest daughter of Tendo Yorisada, who is only ten years old, was also ordered early as a side room of Mogami Yoshimitsu to repair the damaged relationship between the two families.

The next day, Mogami Yoshimitsu sent an envoy to Yonezawa Castle in Zhishi Prefecture, and announced loudly in front of Date Harumune, Date Terumune, and many other retainers of the lineage: "Today, the Shogunate Heavenly Army has descended on Izuha, and the army of the Hawa War has been swept away in Oura Castle, and the town government has raised 30,000 troops to enter and exit the Hazuha, and sweep away the evil spirits with the majesty of the Shogunate Heavenly Army."

My father, Mogami Deyu Mamoru was old and faint, and he mistakenly believed the slander of his favored retainer Shimizu Hizen Mamoru and ignored the strong obstruction of the retainers of the Petsu Dynasty to promote the alliance against Echigo in order to promote a great defeat at Opo Castle, although Shimizu Hizen Mamoru should not be too harsh on his death, but then it was found out that he had received a bribe from the Date clan and a number of gold taels and gifts, and the family was very angry as the governor of the Mogami clan, so he decided to abolish the marriage with the Date clan, so he told him with this document. ”

The Genealogy of the Date family was all stunned, completely unable to understand what had happened to the Dewa Mogami clan, let alone what kind of courage Mogami Yoshimitsu had to dare to stand up and splash Date Harumune's dirty water, Date Terumune's face was pale and trembling, and his mouth repeatedly muttered: "How can this be true!" It just doesn't make sense! Yoshimitsu Mogami is crazy! What about my father-in-law? Where is he? ”

The messenger in charge of the reading was the clan Shoudong, and after reading the document, he immediately threw away his arrogant tone and replaced it with a kind smile and said, "I'm sorry." Date Kyojoden! The old lord had already announced his retirement a few days ago. The governor of the Dewa Mogami clan is my father-in-law. The town government promised that the lord of my family was a public, the old man of the family, the general of the feather, and the five and three tongs, and guaranteed that the lord was the master of the feather and the doctor of Youjing, presumably in two months, this news will come from Luozhong. ”

Luozhong is Kyoto, Shangluo is Kyoto, down to a certain country is to go from Kyoto to the countryside of a certain country, in the Middle Ages in Japan on a city Kyoto, the other sixty-six countries are rural countryside, from a distance said that the source of the Yorito, the source of the Chinese Dynasty have been scolded in Kyoto, the country warrior of the mouthful of the country turtle cavity. These country warriors are also accustomed to this kind of ridicule, and they are not ashamed but proud, and the samurai of distant countries are also proud to visit Luozhong, so when the clan Shoudong said Luozhong, his expression was naturally relaxed, and he had a little sense of superiority.

The people of Mutsu and Dewa are saying that the Date family is powerful, and the legend of how to become a powerful daimyo from a small family step by step from a small family to Dewa and Mutsu has also been passed down for decades, and the Date family is indeed very powerful, as a person from Dewa Province and the county can become a daimyo by taking advantage of a county, this mind requires many generations of family governors to work in one direction, and the formulation and execution of this strategy is indeed not something that a simple daimyo can do.

The secret of the Date family's fortune is not complicated. Several generations of governors were wise and resolute, and through various means such as marrying daughters and sending sons, they first turned the people in Zhici County into a family, plus a trip to Luochu Kyoto once a year. Baba sent sand gold to the Shogunate Palace, and sent famous horses, falcons, furs and other local specialties, and gradually won the favor of the Shogunate to worship the next word of the Shogunate, and then it was fully developed.

The Date clan and the Kasai clan and the Ashina clan are almost all small wealthy families who made their fortunes, and all the family names are vain and rely on the connection between blood and geography, and their development route is completely different from the Oshu Exploration Osaki Clan, and the Dewa Exploration Topic Mogami Clan is completely different, and the most interesting thing is that Date Harumun actually relied on his own means, by sending his son and daughter to stay up in the Oshu Exploration Obsaki Clan, and finally became the Oshu Exploration in a daze.

The eyes of the heart are more than the honest Mutsu samurai, and the means are more sophisticated, the Date family during the Date Minoru period was like a diligent spider, gradually building a network of kinship all over the Mutsu, and finally caused the long turmoil of the Oshu Astronomical Rebellion, and all the people from all walks of life turned the world upside down for the little of their Date family, and they also divided into ugly and ugly factions to attack each other.

Before this, the Mogami family was very afraid of the Date family, because Date Minoru had defeated the Mogami family in the Battle of Hasedo and fled, and after the war, he forced the family governor Mogami Yoshisada to marry Date Minoru's sister as the main room, if it weren't for the mysterious death of Mogami Yoshinora and the newborn child, maybe the Mogami family would have become a puppet of the Date clan like the Stay-behind clan, the Kunita clan, and the Watari clan.

But now everything is different, the clan Shoudong straightened his waist with a warm smile and faced the hideous Date Huizong yelled for half an hour, he was not afraid of this angry young governor at all, It's understandable that Date Huizong was furious, and it was not surprising that the Yida Pudai retainers were indignant, and they couldn't shake his spirit with a knife to intimidate or intimidate, the eyes of the clan Shoudong never left Date Haruzong, and the only person who decided the future direction of the Date family was him,

Until the family governor who had retired for a long time suddenly sighed and said slowly: "The supreme palace can look down on the covenant with my Date family, but the marriage with my Date family must be fulfilled, even if the alliance is broken in the future, this contracted in-law cannot be destroyed, Princess Yiji is destined to be the woman of my Date family in this life, and only the main lady of my child, the document of the highest hall is not acceptable to my Qingzong, please bring this document back untouched!" The family will personally lead the army to Yamagata Castle to seek justice, and by the way, take Princess Yoshihime back to Yonezawa Castle. ”

The snow-white piece of paper was thrown at the feet of the clan Shoudong, and all the members of the Date spectrum were quiet and stared at his movements, and the clan Shoudong did not look angry at all, but nodded noncommittally and squatted down to pick up the discarded paperwork, folded it carefully, then straightened his waist and slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "Jing Zhao has thought clearly?" You have to face not only my lord, but also a town guard general! But that's fine, you always have to make a broken ...... Leave!. ”

Date Huizong said angrily, "Hmph! Who let you go! Take it for me left and right......"

"Tsujiro still stops!" Date Harumun repelled the remaining anger of Date Huizong, and said loudly: "Let him go without any obstruction!" ”

The clan Shoudong showed a faint love for Oh Rong, bowed down and said slowly: "Farewell!" ”

Until he was gone for half an hour. The room was quiet and there was not the slightest sound. Date Mimoto coughed and said, "My lord." I'll quit first! ”

"Hmm!" Date Huizong replied vaguely, his chest rising and falling violently, obviously not relieving his anger.

The so-called deep hatred is nothing more than the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, Date Huizong is also unlucky, but when he encounters the unlucky thing that comes from the sky in his family, he finds that his fiancée has become someone's little wife, how can he endure such shame and how to swallow this evil breath.

He understood Date Teruzong's mood very well, and no one could bear the shame of his fiancée being taken away, and he could endure such a naked slap in the face. In the future, how did their Date family mix in the two countries, the face of the dignified governor was torn off alive, and the faceless and skinless face was so bloody, this is not a slap in the face but a face.

Date Harumune sighed, pulled his angry son back to the castle tower, and said as he walked, "Tsujiro! Are you angry? Are you angry that your wife was snatched away, but you are powerless to resist? Then the family will take you to meet your mother, and you will know some stories that you never knew. ”

When the father and son returned to the castle tower, they saw Date Harumune's main wife, Kubo Hime, accompanying her daughters to be female celebrities, and Kubo Hime was a slender, beautiful and dignified lady. The skin is fair, the facial features are exquisite, especially the pair of water-cutting eyes are very attractive, and it is impossible to tell from the face that she is a woman who is nearly forty years old. No one would have thought that he and Date Harumune had given birth to six boys and five girls in just over ten years.

Kubohime's bright eyes caught a glimpse of the father and son standing outside the castle tower looking at him, and felt that their expressions were quite strange, and gently called a few daughters to let them follow the maids back to their respective rooms, and then picked up the scattered green silk, and said angrily, "What are Your Highness and Shijiro looking at?" It's strange to stare at the concubine for a long time! ”

"Hehehe...... Madame! For the Father, I miss you! Date Harumune smiled and was about to lean over, but was pushed away by Kubohime and complained in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't mess around, the child is still there!" ”

Date Harumune gently hugged Kubohime, and then said to his son, who hung his head in shame, "Shijiro! Do you think your mother is beautiful? ”

Although Date Terumi was an adult, he had never seen his parents act so intimately, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while: "Ah! Well! My mother is very beautiful, and everyone says so, as if she is the most beautiful woman in Oshu...... If the child remembers correctly, this should be the case. ”

Kubo-hime was made blushing by her husband, who has always been serious, and slapped him on the shoulder and scolded, "Oops! Your Highness, what are you talking about? If you talk nonsense about the concubine again, you're going to be angry! Hurry up and go back and rest! ”

"Huh! Madam, listen to my words and then let Shijiro step down......" Date Harumune was indifferent, not so stupid that his wife laughed in front of her own children, grabbed Kubohime's small hand with her backhand, and turned to Date Terumune and said solemnly: "Shijiro! Did you know that your mother snatched it from her father for her father's sake? ”

"Ahh Rob...... Coming here? Can this really be grabbed? Date Huizong was dumbfounded, his mother was actually snatched by his father, and this is a complete mess of what and what.

"That's true, if you don't believe it, ask your mother, your grandfather didn't plan to marry your mother to your father, but to marry your mother to Yuki Harutsuna, the lord of Mutsu Shirakawa Castle, about twenty years ago, once your mother went to the temple to offer incense and happened to meet your father outside the eagle hunting, and it was love at first sight when she met your mother, and she forgot to go to the eagle hunting so he took the samurai to follow your mother's team to the temple to offer incense."

Kubo-hime couldn't screw Date Harumune's temperament, so she could only squeak and say, "Hmm! At the beginning, the concubine was taken aback by His Royal Highness, and out of nowhere, a prodigal son followed the concubine's body with incense, but fortunately, His Highness did not rob the concubine's body! At that time, the concubine had already made up her mind that if she met the prodigal son of Dengtu, she would commit suicide to protect her innocence. ”

Date Harumun was a little embarrassed, coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "Why haven't you heard of this part?" Wouldn't it be bad if the husband really robbed you at that time! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Thanks to His Royal Highness, he didn't dare to move, and the concubine didn't dare to go out for a whole year when she returned home! Kubohime admired her husband's embarrassed expression with a smile, the couple have been in harmony for more than ten years, and they have also given birth to a large number of healthy children, which is indeed not easy.

Date Huizong was stunned at this moment, he was still immersed in the shame of his fiancée's being robbed just now, but in the blink of an eye, he found that his mother was robbed, and there is probably no more story in this world, and his dizzy head asked in disbelief: "Father, Mother, are all what you said true?" It's not kidding, is it? ”

Date Harumune said, "Do you think that your father is like someone who makes fun of your mother's story? This is true, why did the relationship between your father and your grandfather not get better until you sent your brother to the Iwaki family, and why the father was always hostile to the Shirakawa Yuki family, it was all because of this! (To be continued......)
