Chapter Seventy-Five, The Sad Yamada Family (I)
The Fengyuan family began to settle down, and began spring ploughing in the newly occupied Yamada City and its jurisdiction, and the original Luanshan Township of the Fengyuan family naturally entered the state of spring ploughing earlier. Although Shen Fei transferred the lords of the two places, many of the lords of Yamada Castle were not farmers, but craftsmen, gig traders, porters, and other workers unique to the castle town and port, and these people could not be replaced by farmers, so in the end, these people went to the original place to live and work, and the town and port of Yamada Castle naturally began to prosper.
Shen Fei's side was stable, but the surrounding forces only began to turmoil at this time.
Shen Fei invaded Yamada Castle and killed the head of the Yamada family and a vote of important ministers of the Yamada family, and ransacked Yamada Castle, castle town, and port, naturally he couldn't hide it for too long, even if those spies were killed by the ninjas at the beginning, but Shen Fei's ninjas hadn't gotten up yet, there must have been spies who escaped.
Moreover, after Shen Fei reoccupied Yamada Castle, he began the construction of castle towns and ports, released a large number of arrestees, and procured a large number of materials.
It's just that the people who got the news from these businessmen were late, and the first to get the news were the other four great martial artists of Ju Shengguo, such as the Qingtian family, and the spies they sent were fortunate enough to escape the pursuit and come back, which was their capital as a member of the five major forces of Ju Shengguo, and naturally they were the first to get the news.
The four major samurai were shocked that the Yamada family was going on, and they wanted to kill a samurai under their name, but they didn't expect to be killed instead! And they did it very thoroughly, not only the first samurai of the Yamada family like Kanda Kuokatsu was killed, but the strongest defense of Yamada Castle was also taken overnight, the head of the Yamada family was killed, a vote of important ministers was killed, and a few concubines and a vote of waste retainers were left very disgusting.
The four great martial artists naturally have a vote of wisdom. In the same way, their important ministers and family heads also have brains, and after some calculation, they immediately understood that it was impossible to attack the Fengyuan family who committed the following crimes in the name of revenge for the Yamada family.
The Fengyuan family, who doesn't know how to jump out, can destroy a thousand standing troops led by powerful samurai like Kanda Kuokatsu overnight, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Yamada Castle overnight, and kill all the capable family heads, sons-in-law, and important ministers of the Yamada family.
Then it is possible for the Fengyuan family to defeat their hastily dispatched crusading army and avenge a guy who was already an enemy, and instead provoke an even more powerful enemy?
I am sure that I can't provoke this morale, and luck is also strong. After the Fengyuan family, who didn't know the roots, the leaders of the four major martial arts families naturally had a thought in their minds, that is, to take advantage of his illness to kill him! The shrewd people of the Yamada family were all killed by the Fengyuan family, the elite troops were even captured by the Fengyuan family, the most tenacious castle was also occupied by the Fengyuan family, and the most valuable territory also fell into the hands of the Fengyuan family.
It can be said that after the loss of Yamada Castle, Joshita Town, and Port, which were directly under the jurisdiction of Yamada Castle, the remaining territories of the Yamada family were still very vast, but they were nothing more! As long as the Fengyuan family digests the stomach that has eaten a little, they will definitely be able to swallow all the territory of the Yamada family in one go!
If this Fengyuan family is allowed to swallow the Yamada family, wouldn't it be one less old enemy, but a new enemy that is even more formidable will rise? How can such a thing happen to him? Therefore, the leaders of these four great martial artists. Without saying a word, he directly ordered the best military general under his command, leading the most powerful ashigaru, to directly attack the old leader of the Yamada family.
Now that we are in the spring ploughing period, it is natural that we cannot send out peasant soldiers. But the Yamada family has almost abandoned the Fengyuan family, and only the standing army needs to be dispatched, and this operation must be fast. It must be devoured quickly at the first time.
Of course, these four major martial artists all unanimously issued strict orders to the retainers who were ready to lead the troops into battle, and they must not kill the few dead concubines of the Yamada family, and they must not occupy all the land of the Yamada family, and they must leave a territory for those concubines near the direct jurisdiction of Yamada Castle, so that these concubines can be used as a barrier between their own family and the Fengyuan family.
As long as this barrier zone appears, the Fengyuan family wants to swallow these few dead seeds, and it is easy for them to support and support themselves, so that these few dead seeds can block the offensive of the Fengyuan family. Even if these last few dead pure seeds can't stop the Fengyuan family, they can also consume the power of the Fengyuan family, so that they can not only warn in advance, but also take a good time to give the greedy Fengyuan family a cruel lesson!
The more senior the powerful warrior, the smarter he is, and as soon as the lord's order is reached, these leading soldiers and retainers naturally understand what is going on, and they start to act in understanding.
Those concubines of the Yamada family ran all the way to their favorite territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Yamada family, and the samurai and a few ashigaru who stayed behind naturally couldn't compete with the concubines and their followers, and obediently accepted the ruling rights of the concubines.
These concubines seem to have a heart in their hearts, no one is glued to anyone, all of them are going to each other to occupy an unconnected territory, and it is naturally the city lords of those branches who block them.
After these concubines mastered a territory, they didn't care about spring ploughing or anything, forcibly recruited peasant soldiers, and then led this chaotic and extremely reluctant peasant soldiers to occupy the surrounding territory directly under the Yamada family.
Those city lords who came back early were still thinking about whether they should be ruthless to the other city lords around them? Or should they directly swallow the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Yamada family? If they were ruthless to other city lords, they would be able to kill their competitors in advance and kill them, and it would definitely be smooth sailing for them in the future. And swallowing the direct domain of the Yamada family also has the advantage, that is, it is easy to do as you wish, and you can expand your territory without much effort, but if you expand yourself, your competitors will also expand, and it will be difficult to destroy your competitors in the future.
When they were hesitating, a few concubines ran over, and without saying a word, they swallowed the direct jurisdiction at once, so disgusting that these hesitant city lords jumped directly and scolded, but there was no way, even if they were concubines, it was also the blood of the Yamada family, and they rightfully owned the ownership of these territories, as long as they didn't want to go out of the Yamada family, they couldn't say anything about their disgusting behavior.
They had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it, and began to think about whether they should wait and see neutrally, or which concubine to go to, and at this moment, the army sent by the four great martial artists who took advantage of the fire to rob rushed over. (To be continued......)
