Chapter 43 Renko restores the name of the family
The generals left their seats and bowed.
Hosokawa Fujitaka took out a copy of the Imperial Book from his sleeve and read it out. To the effect that the public side was extremely angry at the turmoil in Shinano, an edict was issued, ordering the two shogunates, Takeda and Nagao, to be loyal and strong, and to work together to send troops to suppress and pacify.
No matter what the others think, anyway, Gao Shisheng didn't believe that the content of this imperial book was true.
According to the time before and after, this obviously can't be an order passed on by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, when the powerful public sent an envoy north to Shinano, the two shogunates of Nagao and Takeda in his mouth were still fighting and confronting each other on Kawanaka Island.
The fact is not much different from what he thought, this imperial book was indeed not promulgated by Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the Kuchigi Valley Imperial Palace, but a number of blank documents stamped with the imperial seal of the pillars were prepared in advance, and the two shogunate envoys were allowed to carry them with them in case of emergency, in addition to the one read by Hosokawa Fujitaka, there was also a royal edict with the same content in the hands of Kyogoku Takayoshi in the Murakami Yoshikiyoshi army.
Although everyone present secretly ridiculed the decaying shogunate, it did not prevent them from acting as if they were listening carefully to the admonitions of the public government.
After reading the imperial book, everyone returned to their seats. Hosokawa Fujitaka put away the edict, also sat down, and very interestingly invited the two chief generals present to hold a military meeting.
Asahina Shin was a guest and hurriedly excused himself. As the general general, Nobushige Oyamada is the first person in the army, and the two sides have long agreed on the content of the military discussion, so there is no difference between whom.
Nobushige Koyamada was no longer polite, and said directly, "I think you have heard it clearly, the public ordered me to wait for the order, and then go out to Anyun County within three days at the latest..." Come on, hang up the map. The attendants on both sides got up and took the map of Beixin and unfolded it in the hall.
Before Nobushige Koyamada left the map, he said to everyone, "Shinano is rampant, almost sweeping the entire county of Yasuun. He pointed his hand at the black line representing the mountains in the upper north corner of the map, and said, "The thieves are stationed here with the front pointing at Tsukuma." And when they looked, they saw that the place he was referring to was the city of Mori.
The so-called thieves actually refer to the remnants of the Renke clan, a native of Anyun County. The Nishina clan was born in a famous samurai family of the Taira clan, and Wanxing was mainly in the border area of Anyun and Chikumo counties, and was regarded as the most powerful wealthy family except for the four major generals of Shinano, but when Shinano was strategic, he was cut off from his family name for many years.
Shortly after the Imagawa Army entered Shinano, a wave of wild voices came out of nowhere, claiming that the Nishina Reconstruction Army wanted to regain his name, but no one cared at first.
However, after the peace negotiations on Kawanakajima, the power of this group of people suddenly expanded rapidly. I don't know where to get a large amount of money, food, and armor to fund, and successively repelled several encirclements and suppressions by the defenders of Anyunnan County, and its reputation was greatly enhanced, and more and more people took the initiative or were forced to defect to this revival army and seek refuge, especially the people who had long been overwhelmed in the old territory of Renshi, and they all stood up to launch a rebellion, and the momentum was now more than 10,000, and the people's hearts were downward, and they soon occupied Anyunnan County under the control of the Takeda Army.
Sencheng is located in the dangerous fortress of Anyun County, to the south is Chikumo-gun, to the west is more than the county, from the current Kurita Castle is only one hundred and eight miles, from the Shaotian family's flat castle, only less than a hundred miles away.
Gao Shisheng has also heard of this revival army that suddenly appeared, and he thinks that it is the means of the 'righteous general' in the north, as for why the Nishina army will garrison Noda Castle, it is nothing more than to rely on the fortified city to resist the attack, and at the same time echo the Murakami army in Asahiyama Castle, which can not only obtain baggage supplies, but also deter the Takeda army from the side.
Nobushige Oyamada briefly described the overall situation of the enemy and the enemy in the three counties of Yasuun, Chikuma, and Genghe, and said to the generals, "Although the main force of Ichikuba is stationed in Mori Castle and cannot move forward, there are thousands of people, and once they decide to leave the county, whether they attack Genji County or go south to Chikuma County, they will be big thieves." Ladies and gentlemen, in your opinion, where is Nishina most likely to go next? ”
Someone from the Shinano clan replied, "In the opinion of the last general, Nishina Ichi's next step may not be to come to my county, but to go south to tsukuma." ”
Nobushige Oyamada asked, "Why?" ”
The man talked eloquently and said, "Because of the situation, there are many castles in the west of Mori City to resist, but they can be kept safe for the time being, and the north is the countrymen of the Nagao family, if I am the leader of the Renke army, I naturally have to find a way to expand the territory, so as not to be trapped in the lonely city, and the best way is to go south to build Mo." As soon as he opened his mouth, he said it very bluntly, thinking that it was the Nagao family who was inciting a riot.
"First of all, Zhumo County, like Anyun County, has long mountains, and the mountains are already connected, so it can use the terrain to constantly turn around and move positions in the mountains, and launch unexpected sabotage battles, attacking and disturbing the logistics of our army, and at the same time avoiding frontal battles to the greatest extent. Secondly, there is a road in Chikuma County that can be connected to Hida, and once the situation is defeated, Hida can also retreat to the wealthy families such as Miki and Eima, who belong to the Nagao family, and ask for help. ”
Nobushige Oyamada looked at the shogunate overseer beside him and said, "That's right, this is what I'm most worried about" He pointed to the temple village castle in the middle of Chikuma, and then pointed to Fukashi Castle, the Iriyamakan near the Gunnayama Peak, and said worriedly, "If the thief army really goes south, then there will be an attack in the north of Chikuma, and there will be Hida people secretly assisting in the west, and it will be difficult to support." It is difficult to build a road, and it is dangerous to visit. ”
At present, the Takeda family has really completed the unification of only Suwa and Ina counties, and in addition to digging the gold mountain, the main thing is that the trade roads and shrines of these two counties provide taxes, once Nishina is killed into Suwa, the consequences are simply unimaginable, but this is basically impossible to do in Gao Shisheng's view, after all, the building of the mountains for the Takeda army, only limits the speed of travel, but for a group of people who do not have a complete organization, it is simply an insurmountable moat.
It is impossible to maintain the supply alone, and besides, whether this group of people are willing to leave their hometown is still two words, it is really so simple to mobilize south, and it will not be delayed until today, but even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, Koyamada Nobushige does not dare to bet.
Looking around the hall, he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the matter of the extermination?" ”
Asahina Shinji said, "In my opinion, we should fight quickly. ”
Nobushige Oyamada said, "Yes! That's exactly what Mamoru Tanba and I me. If you can't fight quickly, then a thief army is very likely to invade Chikuma, or simply cross the mountains and enter the Suwa Divine Land to anger the gods and Buddhas, you are all my Kanto warriors, Echigo Nagao is not our opponent, not to mention a group of wild samurai led by the chaotic people, the Nishina family and our army can destroy him for the first time, and naturally can destroy the second time! ”
He asked Hosokawa Fujitaka and said, "The shogunate angel came to the army in person, and it was time for the shogunate court to see the loyalty and courage of my Kanto samurai. ”
Everyone stood up and said in unison, "I am willing to beg for the shogunate and the thief!" ”
