Chapter 858: The Door Is Wide Open

As for the Oda family, its characteristics are mainly reflected in a series of reforms to the family system (such as the emergence of a unique full-time soldier) after Oda Nobunaga completely controlled the family power...... Reading the latest and most complete novels, and these are often seen by the world in this era as a deviant move. In addition, Oda Nobunaga was very fond of arbitrariness after he took power completely, which actually made the Oda family the most centralized family among the many families of the Warring States at that time.

Of course, Oda Nobunaga's series of rights were actually mainly based on his personal coercion over his retainers, and in fact they were not solid. What is even more dangerous is that in fact, the Oda family still maintains the division system of the Warring States period, and lacks sufficient systems to control these divisions, relying only on his personal prestige to support it, and using the mutual surveillance of these retainers to ensure the loyalty of the various divisions and legions to the Oda family. So after the emergence of Akechi Mitsuhide, a fierce man who was determined to defy Nobunaga's majesty, Nobunaga's fate was doomed. And with Nobunaga's death, in the absence of perfect institutional protection, the collapse of the Oda family was inevitable.

It can be said that under the control of Oda Nobunaga, he was the vanguard of the reform of the centralization of family power, and Nobunaga also had certain measures to maintain his rule (such as not allowing a retainer to stay in one place for too long, and transferring these retainers from time to time). But after all, Nobunaga was a man of this era, and no matter how advanced his thinking was, he would be limited by this era, which led him to still not be able to improve his ruling system well and ensure the continuation of his rule.

In fact, in terms of ensuring the stability and continuation of the family's rule, it was the future turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu who was able to do this. And as a political conscience from the afterlife. After analyzing several representative family change histories of the Warring States period. Naturally, it has gradually come to the conclusion that today's set of requirements is not only suitable for the background of this era. In addition, it has been improved to ensure the rule of the Luo family and the system of inheriting the family business by the descendants of the Luo family. As for whether it can finally become an effective system, then history needs to prove that the only thing Masayo needs to do now is to follow his plan without hesitation.

As for the situation of the Luo family's system leading to resist the Luo family as stubbornly as the Youtian family born in front of him, Masahiro had already expected it. However, Masahiro still underestimated the tenacity of his opponent this time.

After the army of the Luo family attacked Youtian Yue Castle. In the city, a part of the enemy army led by the lord Takashi Ueda is still desperately resisting according to the buildings in the city.

With the continuous swarming of the Luo family's army, finally these soldiers of the Youtian family were outnumbered, and although they made the most heroic resistance, these people were gradually drowned in the sea of people by the Luo family's troops with absolute numerical superiority. The army had rushed to the last fortress in the city, in front of the gate of Honmaru.

At this time, after a fierce battle, the corpses of dozens of people lay in front of the main gate of Honmaru, and the soldiers of the Luo family stepped forward and dragged the feet of these people with both hands to remove the corpses. Clear the open space in front of the door, and then go back to the cutting level to count it as your own combat exploits.

"Break the door."

Look at a piece of black Roche armor or Roche feet. The soldiers of the Luo family, who had the black eagle flag of the Luo family behind them, gathered in front of the door, and Isono Yuanchang immediately shouted and gave the order to bang on the door. Immediately, four burly and shirtless soldiers of the Luo family hugged a log and slammed into the crown wooden door where Honmaru had little defense.

In a few clicks, the fragile crown wooden door was smashed by the soldiers of the Luo family, and the soldiers of the Luo family collectively cheered and rushed into the main pill in one go. After the Honmaru was breached, generally speaking, the battle of Cage City had reached this point, and the defenders could basically wash their necks and prepare to lead their necks.

Inside the open Honmaru Gate, on the stone staircase of more than 20 steps, the gate of the castle tower is closed. Isono still had someone bang the gate open with a piece of wood and enter the castle tower. Several soldiers of the Luo family, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately rushed in.

Isono followed the soldiers into the castle tower with a spear, and at this time he saw three or four samurai armed with katanas and wearing armor at the end of the resistance, most of whom were the retainers of the Ukita family. These katana pharaohs were spicy, and they immediately caused a lot of trouble to the few Luo family soldiers who rushed into the castle tower first. At this time, on the top of the castle tower, a woman's cry could be faintly heard.

As the soldiers of the Luo family continued to pour in, these samurai of the Youda family were finally cut down to the ground. Isono and the Ashigaru soldiers then kicked the bodies of the men aside, and then rushed to the second floor of the castle tower with guns in hand. On the second floor, Isono and the others happened to see several women, who were panicking at this time, and some of them even took out knives and tried to commit suicide. It is estimated that these people are the family members and maids of the Youtian family.

Isono immediately ordered the women to be taken under the supervision of them to prevent them from committing suicide, and then quickened his pace, and continued to march with his men, heading straight for the castle lord's residence, Ohiroma. When the paper door of the door of the Great Wide Room was opened, it was an extremely tragic scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a middle-aged man dressed in white clothes and white clothes, holding the ribs in his abdomen with both hands, and his body was falling forward. Obviously, this person is the city lord of Youtian Yue City, Youtian Takashi.

"It's a pity that I committed suicide by seppuku." Isono said with a little regret. This time, due to the desperate resistance of this guy in front of him, not only greatly delayed the progress of his army, but also caused a lot of damage to the army of the Luo family, his original plan was to capture this guy, and then escort him back to the Nogaoshan Recruit Training Camp in Hizen Country in Kyushu, and take him as a training prisoner for recruits.

In fact, this time the resistance of the Uda family made Isono Membermasa quite annoyed, and according to his original plan, he hoped to take this castle in advance before the arrival of the main army of the lord Masayo, and open the door to the Yamaguchi area, the center of the Ouchi family's rule, so as to increase his weight in the lord's heart. In the end, it was destroyed by the Ukita family.

At this time, he really wanted to slaughter this city to vent the anger in his heart. But he knew that this was no longer possible, and according to the Luo family's law on the disposal of prisoners, after screening these enemy prisoners, the most heinous prisoners would be sent to the Notakayama Recruit Training Camp in Matsuura County, Hizen Province, Kyushu as training objects for the recruits. Ordinary captives will become slaves of the Luo family, join the Luo family's slave road building brigade, or become a member of the slave farm, and their families will be forcibly relocated to the Kyushu region to settle down. As for the hostile peasant soldiers who were innocently forced to help, they were also relocated to the Kyushu region with their families.

"The lord of the castle, Takashi Uda, has committed suicide, and when the battle has reached this point, Mt. Utadake Castle has finally fallen, and the door for the family to enter the Ouchi family Yamaguchi area has also been opened. My lord, you are the only one who has made a contribution to the capture of Youtian Yue Castle this time. The retainers on the side saw that their lord seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so he immediately congratulated him.

Hearing this, Isono Yuanchang shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Huo sent someone to report to the lord, saying that Youtian Yue City has been captured by us, and also, immediately send someone to clean up the castle and screen the prisoners, I expect that the lord should soon march to the next castle again." ”

Before the siege of Mt. Utadake Castle officially began, Isono Yuanchang saw with his own eyes that the lord Gongzheng Ryo had received information from Kai Dongqing of Akuta, the commander of the other army, and after the handover with Iwami Kuniyoshimi's family according to the peace agreement, he quickly took control of Zhiyue Castle in Abu County of Nagato Province, and took the opportunity to take Watagawa Castle at the northern junction of Abu County of Nagato Province and Yoshishiki County of Zhou Defense Province (the defenders of Watagawa Castle at this time had already run out before the arrival of Akuta's army).

By the time Hai Dongqing was dispatched to report the progress to Masayo, their army had already embarked on the journey over the mountainous areas north of the Ouchi Pass area, although the mountains there were rarely rugged and difficult to navigate, and it was difficult to determine whether the Ouchi family would set up a guarded pass in the mountains, but as long as the Aguta army passed through the mountain forest area, then they would enter the plains of the Yamachi area next, and at that time, there would be no obstacles to their attack.

Under such circumstances, the work of entering the Yamaguchi area, the center of the Ouchi family's rule, is likely to fall into the hands of the Akuta army, and Isono Yuanmasa naturally hopes that the army he is on will also hurry up. Moreover, just yesterday, Isono Yuanchang also saw with his own eyes in the military tent that the lord Masara received an urgent report from Mino Country, and learned that Mino Country had undergone a drastic change, and the father of Nohime, who had always had a good relationship with his own lord, seemed to have been overthrown (at this time, the Luo family did not know that Saito Michizo was not dead). Since the lord received this news, he seemed to be more eager to complete the strategy of the Nagato Kingdom and the Zhou Defense Kingdom, so he could naturally speculate that with the fall of this castle, the army would soon continue to advance towards the Yamaguchi area, the ruling center of the Ouchi family.

And just as Isono had just finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound behind the paper of Ohiroma. After all of them glanced at each other, they immediately raised their knives and guns on guard, and Isono shouted loudly and said, "Give me out, otherwise I will be poked with a gun." ”

There was silence for a while, and then I saw the sliding door of the paper door gently open, revealing a young man dressed in the clothes of a minister. (To be continued......)
