Chapter 36: News from Takeda
"Hmmm! The hall of the Habayashi Nakaro is also a person who knows the soldiers, and his subordinates have had the honor to meet him when Shinano was wandering a lot, and he is indeed a martial artist with extraordinary martial arts! "Yamamoto Kansuke said that this Habayashi Nakashi will be Murakami Yoshikiyo, Habayashi Nakaro will be the Tang name of Major General Left Konoe, as early as the seventh year of Dayong, Murakami Yoshikiyo was transferred to Major General Left Konoe at the age of twenty-seven, and the fourth major general of Zuo Konoe in the fifth year of Astronomical Promotion.
His mother is the daughter of the governor of the Sanguan clan Spo Left Soldier Governor Yoshikan, the ancestor of the Murakami clan is a line of Kiyowa Genji, Shinano Genji itself is also very famous, in the Jianmu period by the Ashikaga clan personally recognized as the general of Shinano, in terms of official career than the Takeda family who constantly promoted the momentum, in the Muromachi period is also a very famous samurai in Shinano.
Kira Manmatsumu is not surprised that Takeda Harunobu will lose, he still remembers that the Uedawara Battle seems to have lost some famous generals of the Takeda family, which is one of the black history that the Takeda family cannot erase, but he didn't expect him to fail so badly, even far worse than he remembered.
"Itagaki Nobukata, Ganli Hutai, Cai Hamai Mamoru Kawachi, Hatsuka Tatsu Right Guard Gate and others were killed in battle, Yokota Takamatsu, Tada Mitsuyori, Hara Huyin and others who were directly under the Takeda family's main camp were wounded, Murakami's army once hit the Takeda family's main camp, Takeda Harunobu himself was also slashed a few times, and in the end, it was Kudo Yucho and Baba Shinbo's desperate blockade, which was the only life for Takeda Daizen to die in Uedahara." Kansuke Yamamoto was also amazed by this result.
"How many people were killed in battle?"
"A total of 1,200 Takeda troops were killed in this battle, no wonder the Takeda family has concealed the news for more than a year, it turns out that their vitality has been greatly damaged." Kansuke Yamamoto smacked his lips and could only shake his head and sigh at the number.
Takeda Nobuhu only stayed and was not defeated, in the early years of the Takeda family's Yasugawa Nobue rebellion, and later the Imagawa clan army invaded Kai and was defeated several times, but there was no time like this defeat so miserable, 8,000 troops killed more than 1,200 people on the spot, more than 1,500 wounded, one-third of them died in just half a month, and half of the wounded who survived were permanently lost their combat effectiveness, and almost everyone hung the lottery Isn't this a heavy blow?
"Why has it been almost a year since this news came? Is it just trying to cover up this painful loss? I don't think so! "Kira Manmatsumu felt very strange, it was a bit unexpected to lose so badly, how could he hide it for another year before breaking the news, what did the Takeda family do in this year? Judging from the evaluation of Harunobu Takeda in history, he is not a person who is willing to give up.
"That's true, last summer Takeda Daizenden went out to Suwa and fought a joint battle at Shiojiri Pass, defeating Ogasawara Shinano Moritoki, who invaded Suwa, and pacifying Minami Shinano Province, which had fallen into chaos."
Since June of the 11th year of astronomy, Takeda Harunobu suddenly turned his face and contacted the Suwa clan's clan Takato Yoritsugi, and together they joined forces to attack the Suwa County led by his brother-in-law Suwa Yorishige, I didn't think that my brother-in-law would suddenly turn his face and ruthlessly Suwa Yorishige, and he couldn't stop the two-way attack at all, so he had to surrender in the second month under the mediation of Takeda Harunobu.
Then the poor governor of the Suwa family, along with his wife of one year, You, was taken back to Kofu and held in solitary confinement, and in less than a month, the last governor of the Suwa family died in grief and resentment, but it was rumored that this was the order of Takeda Harunobu to kill Suwa Yorishige, but the rumors were not accepted because they were not accepted.
Because after the conquest of Suwa Prefecture, his sister and nephew were useless, and you died of depression in house arrest the following year, Takeda Harunobu in order to pocket the territory of Suwa Prefecture, and specially married his brother-in-law Suwa Yorishige's concubine Suwa Imperial Food, and gave birth to an heir two years ago and let him inherit the family business of the Suwa family, as for the fate of his nephew Suwa Omaru no one knows.
Born in the third year of Xiangroku (1530 in the Western calendar), this imperial material is not related to Takeda Harunobu, and those Suwa people who lost their land don't care about this, and in order to discredit the Takeda family, they deliberately fabricated many ridiculous rumors to slander the Takeda family, in fact, this is all a non-existent thing.
Takeda Harunobu's approach is a bit excessive, even with a ruthlessness beyond reason, but if you think of his character, you don't think it's so strange, for the sake of territorial expansion, he always lures allies into a trap, and Takato Yoritsugu, who conspired with Takeda Harunobu, didn't end well in the end, and Takato Castle became the residence of Akiyama Torashi, the county of Ina County.
His natural contempt for the covenant and his ability to grasp people's hearts made him invincible in many joint battles, and this clue has already appeared now, but he has not yet fully grown into the Kai hero, and he encountered obstacles in front of Murakami Yoshikiyo and Echigo no Ryu, and then he turned to tear up the covenant against the Imagawa family, tear up the alliance with the Oda family, attack Mikawa, etc., which also made the best annotation of his character.
"Takeda Jingzhaoden is also a great figure, his subordinates have also seen Shintora Hall in Kofu and Shinano back then, the samurai of the Takeda family under his leadership are really a tiger and wolf master, but I don't know what it will be like in the hands of this Takeda Daizen today." Kansuke Yamamoto's performance surprised Kira Manmatsumaru.
In his memory, the description of the later life, Yamamoto Kansuke should have some grudges with Takeda Shintora, but looking at his current appearance, he doesn't have this idea at all, and calling Takeda Shinhu by the Tang name Jing Zhaoyin of Zuojing Dafu is obviously out of respect, and he who knows Yamamoto Kansuke knows that this is a manifestation of great respect for Takeda Shinto's military strategy.
After studying with Kansuke Yamamoto for a few years, he also knew Kansuke Yamamoto's teaching style, so if he had any questions, he asked directly: "But the reason why His Royal Highness Shinhu was exiled seems to be brutal and murderous, and there is also a preference for the second son to abolish the elder and younger." ”
"It's a conspiracy." Kansuke Yamamoto sneered and explained: "When this happened, His Majesty happened to be eating under Asahina Tanba Morimoto Nagato, and I also learned from the head of the Mototo, when Takeda Kyoshoden went out to Saku-gun in May of the tenth year of Astronomy, the envoy of the Takeda family had already come to Suruga as a guest for a long time, and the envoy of the Takeda family discussed with the Imagawa family about the aftermath after the release of Takeda Kyoshoden, and the actions of Takeda Kyoshoden's continuous purge of the people of the country completely angered the people of Kai, and they wanted to exile him for a new governor. ”
"This turned out to be a conspiracy!" Hearing the explanation of the person concerned, Kira Manmatsumu was not particularly surprised, and pouted and said: "Takeda Jingzhaodian killed many independent vassals and countrymen in order to strengthen his rule, which caused disgust and panic from top to bottom, so he teamed up with his sister-in-law Takeda Daizen Doctor Harunobu to launch exile, right?" This seems to be exactly what happened to His Royal Highness the Sixth Princess! ”
"Yes! It's exactly the same! The idiom of the owner is very good! Okochi Tajima Temple is very attentive to your teachings! Kansuke Yamamoto complimented, "No matter how much they try to beautify, they can't hide the fact that Takeda Harunobu exiled his father, and the Takeda people exiled the lord of the country is a group of rebels who can't wash away their sins." ”
"If they can be exiled once, they can be exiled many times, isn't Takeda Harunobu worried that he will be exiled if he is defeated? For example, it is rumored that Takeda Jingzhaoden has always favored the Takeda Warden Hall. Kira Manmatsumaru speculated maliciously.
"It's possible, but it's going to put a lot more pressure on them! His Majesty thought that the Takeda Warden would not cooperate with them, after all, if they were exiled once, they would already become a 'rebel minister', and it would be useless to exile another family governor no matter how they argued, and the people of Kai would lose their reputation as a samurai, and the samurai who lost their reputation would only perish. Kansuke Yamamoto looked at the vast green mountains in the distance and the sunlight falling from a few rays of sunlight, and replied with a flat gaze.
