The Imagawa clan really withdrew from Sunfu City in the evening of the same day, taking his family and relatives and the genealogists who were willing to follow, as well as the three thousand elites that Imagawa Yoshimoto built for him, and also fled, as for Anyuan Anfang Shouzhongyin, he only gathered 5,000 remnants of the army and fled from Junfu with the climate, and all the valuables such as gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables in the city were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were hidden in the hope that they could be taken out again when they came back one day, but his dream seemed to be a little out of reach.

On the day of the destruction of Sunfu City, Takeda Shingen really ordered the three armies to arrest indiscriminately according to the propaganda, and more than 20,000 tigers were released at this moment after holding back the evil fire for several years, which can be painfully hoped that the Takeda invading army could treat their Sunfu townspeople well, and the indiscriminate arrest that lasted for nearly half a month made the Takeda army do many things that were not as good as animals, and the rape and plunder were even worse than Sanguang.

In the past half month, the indiscriminate hunting of this pearl of Tokaido has been destroyed, and 70 percent of the towns have been damaged to varying degrees, and the samurai of the Takeda family, who have snatched the red eye, have not even spared the ancient temples of the temple, many beautiful gardens and beautiful houses have been burned down in the war and robbery, and many good men and women who have fled to the temple for refuge have not escaped the prostitution of these brutal samurai.

By the time Shingen Takeda realized that he had gone too far and hurriedly urged these mad samurai to stop their illegal acts, Sunpu Province had been sacked into a dead city that had lost its vitality, with less than 20,000 of the 80,000 townspeople left at its peak, countless temple buildings burned down, and the most glorious page of Sunpu Castle was completely ended in this riot.

Although Takeda Shingen tried to make amends for this mistake in time by killing hundreds of samurai who had committed heinous crimes or were greatly outraged, the Takeda family's reputation in Suruga suffered a major loss. The Imagawa leading party leader and faction who had originally surrendered to the service were annoyed on the spot when they saw the tragic scene of Sunfu Castle. They are optimistic that the Takeda family will come over without pretense. But these people are here for profit, not for your Takeda family to rob and loot like a group of bandits.

The Suruga samurai, led by Asahina Shinji and Okabe Masatsuna, betrayed the Imagawa clan for their own reasons, they felt that the governor could not protect his own interests, and when his interests were damaged, his loyalty became very vulnerable, and the original intention of welcoming the Takeda army into Suruga was to protect his interests from greater losses.

It's just that what the Takeda Army came in and did was really disappointing for them, not to mention that there was no sign of the righteous Shiqiu without any crime, even if they simply kept the interests of the subjugated, they couldn't do it, and they almost burned Sunfu Castle, the pearl of Tokaido, which was not only the essence of Suruga Province. It is the fruit of the Imagawa clan's hard work and accumulation over the past two hundred years, and it has been abolished.

Sometimes, when Takeda Shingen learned that Asahina Shinji and other generals had returned to his city with his own army, and indicated to him that he would not cooperate with any of the Takeda army's next military operations, he knew that the inertial actions of the Imagawa family had forced the Imagawa family to return to the Imagawa clan's side.

As a last resort, he could only put down his posture and send a large number of envoys to contact these generals to try to persuade them, but the effect was far from as good as he expected, most of the Suruga samurai were wary of the Takeda family, and some samurai began to try to contact the Mikawa Matsudaira clan and the Sagami Hojo clan, trying to protect their own interests through these two clans.

Takeda Shingen immediately realized that there was something wrong with the momentum, and this posture seemed to be to push back the situation that the Takeda family had managed to twist back. For this reason, the ministers were immediately gathered to hold a military meeting in the ruined Junfu City, and at the meeting, a group of retainers who were still ambitious were reprimanded. scolded them for not knowing robbery without long eyes, and now they have offended people so hard and persuaded them to come back, and they don't know how much effort they have to waste.

Takeda Shinhiro rubbed his sour eyes, shook his head tiredly and said: "What the lord said is very reasonable, I and other Kai people have been acting in the mountains all the year round, and the contact is nothing more than the fierce and brave Shinano and Ueno people, and I have never met such a weak samurai as the Suruga people, and when they broke into the Shoifu Mansion, they went around hunting around according to the practice of Kai, which caused a very bad impression on the people of Suruga Province, which is a very unfavorable thing for my Takeda family to rule Suruga!" ”

Masatoyo Naito agreed: "Some of Kai's rules are completely bad habits, such as indiscriminate fishing and human hunting, which should be gradually reduced and abolished, after all, our goal has gradually shifted from the similar nature of Shinano Province to the more affluent Tokaido, and His Majesty has observed in Suruga Province from many ways that the land is fertile and the culture is developed, and Sunpu Castle is a large city town with many romantic people, so it is also a very good choice to develop the new castle town center of my Takeda family with Sunpu Castle as the center." ”

The Takeda family tree generation is much more honest, and they don't dare to talk to each other, but there are still young samurai who are not convinced, and Gan Li Nobuyasu is instigated and shouted: "What is wrong with our Kai samurai is soil, that is, our group of turtle samurai defeated the literate Suruga samurai, if you want me to see that it is better to be earthy!" ”

Masaka shook his head and smiled, "Eh! Can't say that! It is not the fault of our samurai that we are rustic, it is a natural influence of the geographical location of Kai Country, and we samurai should have a desire to learn culture, and not to run amok in Kyoto like Shogun Rising Sun......"

He didn't dare to say it until he said half of it, because he realized that he wanted to compare Takeda Shingen to Kiso Yoshinaka's intention to say more, and he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out, Kiso Yoshinaka is an unlucky ghost with excellent ability comparable to the overlord of Japan, and the inferiority of IQ and power is also very similar, and he dared to do something to burn Kyoto in the Heian period, which can indeed be called a short brain.

Takeda Shingen's face was very ugly, he knew the meaning of the trace of Masatdada, whether it was as a family governor or as an ordinary samurai, any action he did needed to pay for the corresponding impact, Takeda Shingen realized how stupid it was to adhere to the customs of Kai Province, and it was an irrefutable fact that he could not follow the customs of the local people and wait to be boycotted by the local people.

In that era when the news was relatively closed, far less than the simple era of materialism a few decades later, the villagers and the local servants formed a group of villages to protect themselves, they had hundreds of years of inherent family cultural traditions, each country and each county had its own myths and legends and various customs and taboos, Suruga Province was a relatively prosperous and wealthy country. The situation here is much more complicated than in the relatively simple country of Kai.

There are many wealthy merchants who travel from east to west between Kanto and Gyeonggi. There are also cultural people who are rich in knowledge and witty words. As well as a well-informed monk, Suruga Province itself bears an important responsibility for Tokaido and the Kanto region, and the port towns in the territory are densely populated, and the destruction of the most brilliant jewel of the throne in this culturally prosperous realm can be imagined.

Takeda Shingen was uncontrollably worried, and every time he hit a place, he had to appease the people of the country, which was the routine of the governor, and if he had been allowed to enter Suruga Province a few years ago. He would never let the retainers of the Spectrum Dynasty arrest so casually to hurt the people's hearts, but the critical situation of Kai Province required him to immediately lead troops to fight Suruga Province, and even Takeda Shingen, the position of the family governor, showed a hint of wavering.

In desperation, he decided to take his sister-in-law and use the death of his sister-in-law Takeda Yoshinobu in exchange for the reunification of the internal voice, which means that Takeda Shingen's control over the Takeda family tree generation is declining, and he can easily kill Itagaki Nobuken, the son of Itagaki Nobukata, back then, and now it is not so easy for him to attack the genealogy retainers.

In this environment, Takeda Shingen can only exert pressure on the Takeda Liangshan system through the power of the retainers, and then strengthen the power of the weakened family governor, and it seems that his current situation is still very good. But in fact, if the control is as strong as before, there will definitely not be a group of genealogical retainers who will indiscriminately hunt down and abolish the entire Junfu City. At least that's what he thinks.

Takeda Shingen grinned and thought to himself: "The people of Suruga are not the only samurai family to choose from, he can choose the Mikawa Matsudaira clan to the west, the Sagami Hojo clan to the right, and the Kira clan is more distant, the situation that the family will face is far from as wonderful as imagined!" ”

……

In the middle of summer at the beginning of July, it is the hottest time, when the wind and rain in the Kanto region have a short break to restore the sunny weather, in this blue sky, Kira Yoshitoki with nearly a thousand horseback warriors in the Kanto held a grand eagle hunt, Takigawa Tokiyoshi, Shima Tokikatsu, Honjo Shienaga and other young samurai show their skills, one morning to hunt hundreds of prey, the military chef took advantage of the situation to set up a grill and roast it on the spot to share with everyone.

Eagle hunting is one of the samurai's favorite outdoor sports, not only can be linked to the art of bow and horse, but also fill the stomach to give themselves a tooth sacrifice, Kira Yoshitoki also likes to drag a large group of samurai to kill and eat meat openly, you can experience the kind of superiority that defies the customs and habits of this era, and he only has a little sense of superiority to prove that he is not an ordinary person.

The latest news from Echigo, Oda Inu gave birth to a healthy daughter for Kira Yoshitoki, this is Kira Yoshitoki's fourth biological daughter, counting the little sisters Hikari Akihime is ranked sixth, Kira Yoshitoki was overjoyed by this little baby named Yukihime, to celebrate the lucky symbol of a series of successes in the south Kanto.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is very envious of Kira Yoshishi's many sons and blessings, and he likes to move the topic closer to this aspect when he is idle, and Kira Yoshishi knows that he is anxious that his wife has not yet given birth to a baby, so he pretends to recommend aphrodisiac tonic such as bullwhip sheep eggs to him, and Hosokawa Fujitaka also eats and drinks a few times, and it is said that he can't sleep for a few nights in a row, and the next day he stares at the decadent appearance of listlessness with dark circles under his eyes is funny.

Since the rainy season came, there has been no more intense military action, and its purpose is to deal with matters related to the migration of Echigo in order to pacify the people of Musashi Province, and he, the governor, moved more than 100,000 people in Musashi Province to Echigo in a single sentence, and then moved from 300,000 people to Musashi Province in batches, which sounds very simple and relaxed, but in fact it is not so simple at all.

Of course, the peasants of Musashi Province will not be reluctant to leave their homeland, even if Echigo is beautiful, it is not as good as their own home, just like the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.

Shangfeng urged the persecuted followers to use all kinds of strange tricks to deceive and finally get away tens of thousands of people, but the rest were completely useless, and in the end, Kira Yoshishi couldn't look at it, and ordered: "Toast without eating and drinking, lock everyone up, and form a long team to escort them to Echigo!" Of course...... There should be no less promises to be given, and there must be no negligence in the work of appeasement. ”

Just as Hongwu scattered and dealt with the peasants, if you don't leave, you will be forcibly tied up and taken away, like the stern behavior of the prisoners to prevent them from escaping. Farmers have to untie the rope to go to the toilet to make it easier. This stupid method is the only way of mobilization invented by the ancients. Although rude and rude, it highlights the helplessness of those in power.

It is not easy to let the Musashi peasants go north, and it is even more difficult to let the 300,000 peasants of Echigo, especially since the Kira family officials are targeting the new residents who have moved into Echigo in the past ten years, and they are intent on sending this group of new residents who are exactly more than 300,000 population red lines to Musashi Province.

The Kira family obeyed the death orders issued by the people, and the old landlords in each village did not understand it, but they resolutely carried it out, and tried to persuade the people to be sent to Musashi Province safely and securely at all costs, and the peasants below did not understand the foresight of the government. When they see that their interests are being harmed, their first reaction is fierce opposition, no matter how good you say, it will never destroy their good life.

This contradiction further intensified the contradiction between the new immigrants and the Echigo natives hidden within Echigo, and the local residents of Echigo felt that this was the town government helping them, and they were so proud that they couldn't wait to their little tails that didn't exist at all, and some young people deliberately ran to the villages of the new immigrants to ridicule the yin and yang, which directly caused many honest peasants to suddenly burst out and kill people.

The matter was so big that it affected the atmosphere of Kasugayama Castle Town, and Nagao Masaki, Nagao Keishinobu and Matsui Tomokan also found that he couldn't help it, so he hurriedly reported it to Kira Yoshi, who was far away in Edo Castle, and almost fainted when he found out that his words had caused such a big storm.

Kira Yoshitoki immediately called the envoy and reprimanded him: "Who let you advocate for the new immigrants!" This is nonsense! This is an artificial contradiction within Echigo! All the members who participated in it were suspended from their posts for reflection. Matsui Tomokan wrote a profound invitation to Yu, summarizing what mistakes he made as the chief acting officer of the Echigo government! ”

In order to rectify his subordinates, he had to sacrifice the stunt of "writing and checking". There are also particularly detailed regulations that must be substantiated and not less than 3,000 words, and this method of dealing with it is neither light nor serious, and it can be pointed at the vital point of the officials, who usually have no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy.

They have always been hiding in the relative safety of the rear to deal with wartime logistics and material transfer and other matters, in the wartime status is far inferior to the military and political power in the hands of the invincible generals on the battlefield, once the war is over and the peacetime is restored, these officials have a far higher voice than the generals who can only fight, so the Kira family's assessment meeting usually finds that there is nothing to do in the government affairs discussion.

It's not that these generals who went into battle to kill the enemy didn't have their opinions, but they really didn't understand the mode of operation to achieve specialization, and they didn't have any experience and skills in handling government affairs.

Kira Yoshitoki has been thinking about how to rectify some of the followers with their tails up, and some of the younger followers think they are very smart, and often express some opinions in the evaluation committee that have been mentioned by the elders of the lineage and changed by them to show off their influence, and the result is naturally to further deepen the rift between the worship faction and the military shogun faction.

The struggle between civil officials and military attaches has occurred in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and it is inevitable that no matter how wise the monarch is, he will be distressed on this issue, and a wise monarch can take advantage of the infighting between the two factions to control the government, but it is like dancing on two eggs is a very dangerous move, and if it is not done well, it is easy to make a scandal of chickens flying and eggs.

Kira Yoshitoki did not intend to let the rudimentary faction and the military generals continue to make trouble, but took advantage of the harmonious relationship between the middle and upper class generals and the generals to beat the faction hard, and sacrificed the "writing inspection" of the bottom of the box to deter the officials, the most important thing for the officials is not the land knowledge, but the power in their hands and the influence of the government affairs, which contains amazing influence and potential wealth is huge.

Many powerful and corrupt officials are bred from this, Kira Yoshishi does not want his institution to evolve into a corrupt and corrupt moth-eaten institution, the more he takes advantage of the fact that there is no sign of decay, the more he must beat it as soon as possible, since the most important thing for the ministers is the power in their hands rather than the land Zhixing, then they do tricks on their power, implying that there are two red lines waiting for them when the pursuers do wrong, one is to "write and check" and the other is to suspend and reflect, and more seriously, you can exert rich imagination and association.

Find a mistake and knock on this group of disobedient followers. Warn them to put away their little tails and stop making trouble. The next time I was bumped into by Kira Yoshi, it would be much more serious than this suspension and reflection. Matsui Yukan, the chief acting officer, also enjoys the treatment of a thunder rain dew as a gentleman's grace.

The 300,000 Echigo peasants who moved south to Musashi Province were rezoned and divided according to the area of cultivated land and the situation of nearby villages, and at the same time, the adherents were required to move as closely as possible in the direction of a bowl of water, basically the standard of 150,000 for new immigrants and 150,000 for Echigo native farmers, which can be more but never less than this number.

The corresponding compensation was also generous, including the relocation of the new village town to Musashi Province, which would be built by the Kira family, and the division of arable land would only be more than that of Echigo, not less. Each household subsidized the relocation fee of two kan bun Yongle money to facilitate their employment of carriages and horses, and the total cost of this relocation was as high as more than 100,000 kan bun, which can be called the largest public expenditure in Echigo in recent years, in order to ensure that the farmers who went south to Musashi could enjoy good material resources to the greatest extent.

In order to implement this migration mission, the Kira family had to show their killer features, and announced in a high-profile manner that the town government would soon move the imperial palace from Kasuga Mountain Castle to Musashi Province, and the relocation of the imperial palace meant that the political center of the Kira family moved from the cold and snowy Echigo Plains to the warmer and wetter Kanto Plains, which also hinted at an important message that the Kira family was not as simple as grabbing land this time.

There are still many smart people in Echigo. Under the repeated propaganda, many rumors soon spread, such as that the town government was going to Musashi Province to be the Kanto prince this time. All kinds of rumors were spread around and were really blinded by them, and it can also be seen that Kira Yoshito's action of going south to Kanto has already been seen by the world.

Another important reason why Kira Yoshitoki chose to stop for the time being: while digesting Musashi Province, he showed goodwill to the people of Kanto Province and sent a diplomatic mission led by Asayama Hitomo to travel all over the five countries of Shimono, Shimo, Kamisu, Anbo, and Hitachi, whether they believed it or not, they always told these Kanto people that they were just going to deal with the Hojo family, and to deal with the Kanto Gongfang, a shogunate tumor that had repeatedly instigated trouble.

The people of the Kwantung Kingdom were surprised and frightened to find that Musashi Province was taken by the Kira Army with lightning speed, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no fear and worry in their hearts, in other words, who sees the strong enemy at their door being suddenly held down and beaten and has not yet fought back, they always have to chuckle in their hearts, and they don't know what kind of attitude this strange strong man will have towards them.

The people of the Kanto Kingdom are too fragmented, even if the larger Hitachi country Satake Yoshiaki co-opts the Iwaki Shigetaka of the Southern Michichi Province to the north, interferes in the disputes between the Nasu clan and the Utsunomiya clan of Shimono Province to the west, and strives to expand the territory of Hitachi Province to the south, and from time to time crosses the border into the Shimoku Province to contribute to the Furukawa Princess, the overall strength and influence are much stronger than that of Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, Nasu Ziyin, Yuki Harumo, and Chiba Yinfu, and probably Satomi Yoshihiro is a level of daimyo powerful samurai.

But even such a powerful samurai is only basically in control of the territory of the seven counties of Hitachi Province, among which the lord of Mito Castle in Naka County, Edo Tadamiri, still maintains the strong strength of the separatist side, this Edo Tadamichi is the most common Hidego stream clan in Kanto, and the Muromachi period is also the ancestor of the Satake clan, but in the civilization years, he gradually broke away from the control of the Satake clan to realize his desire for personal independence.

Edo Tadamichi was originally the son-in-law of Satake Yoshishun, and after succeeding to the throne, he took advantage of the death of his uncle Satake Yoshitsu to raise an army to attack the Satake clan, but was easily defeated by the young nephew Satake Yoshiaki, and the cunning Edo Tadamichi immediately changed his face to show submission, and since then he has been expanding to the southern Kashima County with a semi-independent attitude, becoming a shrapnel embedded in the chest of the Satake clan, which may cause fatal injuries to the Satake clan at any time.

As for the southern part of Hitachi Province, there are simply a lot of people from all walks of life, among which the most powerful are the lord of Oda Castle, Oda Clan, and the Fuchu Dapeng Sadakoku is the strongest, Oda Clan was originally a branch of the Utsunomiya clan, but by the time of the Oda clan's previous family governor Oda political era has actually become the son of the Horikoshi Prince, the Oda clan led the dispute during the Ming Dynasty, and then through the mediation of the Kanto Governor, a son was selected from the Horikoshi Prince's family, which was not extinct at that time, as the adopted son inherited the family governor.

The identity of Da Peng is even more remarkable, the dignified Bandong Hachihei clan is a famous samurai family, in the Kamakura period when it was commensurate with the Lang Party, it was also called the Da Peng Party, and its status was second only to the Chichibu Party and the Miura Party and ranked third, followed by the Kamakura Party, the Chiba Party, and the Hojo clan that wiped out the clan, and the completely declining Dohi clan and Kumagai clan.

These eight families almost include seventy or eighty percent of the main forces of the Banto Hachihei clan, and the rest such as the Oyamada clan, the Castle clan, and the Kashima clan are all powerful clansmen, but such a powerful samurai family is locked up in the mansion of Hitachi Province and can't even lift its head, so it can only rely on a strong family and a complicated marriage relationship with the Satake clan to maintain an independent posture.

There are many branches of the Daejeong Party, and there are eight main powerful clans, namely the Yoshida clan, the Toyoda clan, the Yukakata clan, the Kashima clan, the Mabe clan, the Tojo clan, the Shimotsuma clan, and the Oguri clan.

Since the outbreak of the Satake Yoshito Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, the shogunate has not appointed a guardian in Hitachi for more than a century, and the Kanto samurai family does not have strong control.

The Satake clan is so powerful that there is no way to eliminate so many forces in the country, not to mention Satomi Yoshihiro, who was suppressed and beaten by the Hojo clan, and those who even control the family business Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, Nasu Ziyin and the like, and the Chiba clan and Yuki clan in the lower kingdom are not enterprising enough.

In this chaotic situation, even though the people of the Kwantung Kingdom realized that the Kira family killed by Echigo was a very powerful and terrible enemy, they themselves could not face the Kira family for various reasons, and they did not dare to easily make relevant decisions against the Kira family, which can be seen from the failure of the anti-Kira alliance.

As the diplomatic pursuit of Asayama Hisunori's negotiation tour in the Kanto region unfolded, the ambiguous attitude of the people of the Kanto Province gradually shifted to supporting the Kira family against the Furukawa Princess, and Asayama Hisunori temporarily acted as a monk between the five countries, and spent a lot of money in several major jurisdictions and frequently met with people from all walks of life, gradually turning the direction of public opinion of the Kanto people back to the favorable side.

Kira Yoshitoki's attitude is very tough, but the attitude of the governor is only one aspect, Asayama Hisunori is constantly explaining to the Kanto samurai that the Kira family has no malice in going south to Kanto, and trying to release friendly signals to influence the judgment of the Kanto lords, whether they are refusal, indifferent or friendly and expectant, they have maintained a friendly attitude as always.
