Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the 21st year of Tianbun, Kanto has become very calm, and it cannot be said that it is completely calm. At least the war is still burning, but the situation has changed from the eastern country allied forces besieging the Hojo family to their own internal strife. The Yuki family and the Oda family completely fell out.  , Yuuki Masamori united with Hitachi Kingdom's anti-Oda clan people to attack the Oda clan's home city. The Oda clan was not willing to be outdone and asked for help from its ally, the Satake clan. At this time, Oda and Satake were still allies, so the Satake clan had to send some troops.  The horse means what it means.  Shimono Country is also fighting. The civil strife in the Utsunomiya family has not yet ended. Yoshiga Couture planned to murder Mibu Tsunfusa and took the opportunity to seize Utsunomiya Castle. This loyal minister completely risked his life for the Utsunomiya family business. He poisoned and murdered rumors.  Various methods were used in endlessly, and finally Utsunomiya Hirotsuna was finally sent back to Utsunomiya Castle using both soft and hard tactics.  But the war in Shimono Country was far from over. In order to avenge the former head of the family, the Utsunomiya family began to prepare for war and attack the mortal enemy the Nasu clan. Of course, the Nasu clan was not easy to mess with. He immediately invited the Satake clan of Hitachi.  As reinforcements, the two sides started fighting again in Xianye Country.  Satomi Yoshiyao had a very unhappy life, because he was repaid for his deception of Furukawa K¨­k¨­. The flaw of the card in his hand, Koga K¨­k¨­, was immediately exposed. Furukawa disrespected Satomi Yoshih¨¡o many times.  The order was issued to attack the Satomi clan, not to mention that the empty name was indeed useful. At least the completely honest Chiba and Hara clans, who had been suppressed by the Satomi clan, started to make trouble again, and even the Maritani clan also  I can't get along with Satomi Yiyao.  What's worse is that fires started to break out in Satomi's house. Some veterans of the Satomi clan who had been suppressed for a long time jumped out to raise a rebellion. The reason turned out to be that Satomi Yoshihiro had assassinated the Satomi clan's direct descendants, and they also found witnesses to accuse him of the original incident.  That matter was clearly stated, but now Yoshiyao couldn't sit still. He could only be busy putting out the civil strife in his territory, and he had no intention of caring about the affairs of Musashi Country.  The four kingdoms of Kanto, namely Shimono, Shimosu, Uamisu, and Hitachi, were all caught in the whirlpool of war, which also gave Hojo Ujiyasu a precious chance to breathe. Musashi Country experienced more than two years of baptism of war. Countless villages were burned and farmers fled the land.  The city was desolate, the city was in dilapidated condition, and the towns under the castle were burned to the ground. Although he finally won the war, he also paid a heavy price for it.  First of all, due to the continuous war between Sagami and Izu, the citizens of Sagami and Izu have been burdened with heavy military service, civil service and general service. In some places, there has been a trend of political instability. The people are rioting, and there are panic rumors everywhere, such as Hojo.  Shiyasu is an evil spirit that eats children's hearts.  Such true and false rumors gave Hojo Ujiyasu a headache. It was easy to defeat the Ichiku army, but it was a headache to appease the people. This forced him to give up his plan to continue to expand and seize territory, and focus on restoring the stability of the people in the territory and rebuilding Musashi.  In order to maintain the country's economic order, we can only go to the countryside frequently to get close to the frontline farmers, and we are exempted from many taxes and servitude, and appear to be close to the people.  After more than half a year of hard work, some results have been achieved. Although he missed the opportunity to continue to expand, it was still a last resort. Hojo Ujiyasu hated Furukawa who had brought him endless troubles, and he was even more concerned about Furukawa's mysterious death.  However, the investigation by the Fuumas was not successful and the mastermind behind the incident was not found. However, it was discovered that the castle tower of the Furukawa Imperial Palace caught fire on the night of the incident, causing a commotion and causing Ashikaga Haruji to fall into a well and drown.  He has always suspected that Kai's Takeda Harunobu is causing trouble. This guy is more sinister and cunning than his father. In terms of intelligence, he is no worse than Hojo Uyasu, and in terms of ruthlessness, he may be a little better. Especially his ruthlessness, unrighteousness, greed and excessive greed are even more touching.  , if it hadn't been for his cousin Yoshimoto Imagawa who suddenly joined the Hojo family and joined forces with Takeda Nobutora to cause chaos in Kadong, he and his father would have really planned to unite with the Imagawa family to completely attack the Takeda family.  While the war in Kanto continued, the cunning Imagawa Yoshimoto finally sent a marriage envoy. Since the great changes in Kinai a few months ago, the Imagawa family's original proposal for marriage had been silent until Kira Yoshito fought a battle in Katsuraikawa.  After a classic battle that completely defeated the Miyoshi family, Imagawa's attitude changed another 180 degrees.  The marriage envoys this time included not only an old acquaintance, Chikinaga Sekiguchi, but also the minister Reizumi Weikazu, who had been hanging out in Sunfu for a long time. They brought a letter written by Imagawa Yoshimoto, in which he expressed his affection for Kira with enthusiasm.  Iami's application performance in the Battle of Katsuragi, and he was also very interested in the superb military qualities displayed by the Mikawa Corps. Then there was the matter of the marriage between the Imagawa and Kira families. Master Jiro, the daughter of the Ii family, was killed by Imagawa Yoshimoto.  She was adopted as an adopted daughter and given to her mother, Imagawa Jugini, who was born in the Gongqing family, to teach her.  Then he said that the process of teaching etiquette will last for one year. At that time, someone will be specially sent to send the adopted daughter to Sakamoto. Then, the representative of the Imagawa family, Sekiguchi Chikinaga, and the representative of the Kira family, Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and Myounji Temple will host Kuaichuan.  Shaoxi, Lengquan Weihe, the governor of the Lengquan family, jointly witnessed the marriage contract.In the future, this also indicates that Kira and the Imagawa family have established a close relationship. Not only can Kira Yoshitoki serve in the shogunate with peace of mind, but Imagawa Yoshimoto can also calmly subjugate the Mikawa people.  Nagao Kagetora went out to Echigo again in late August with an army of 6,000 people. After joining Zenkoji Temple with the 2,000 troops of Northern Shinano, the number also reached 8,000. Takeda Harunobu, who received the news, did not dare to neglect at all.  The family's seven thousand troops set out from Saku County, and the main battle camp was set up in the newly captured Yantian Castle. He also asked Iito Toramasa to lead the special forces to station in Muroga Castle in the north. At the same time, he summoned the Shinano wealthy family to serve as servants.  pioneer.  The Shinano wealthy clan who served as the vanguard were defeated by the Nagao Army without any suspense. The Nagao Army did not stop to carry out random arrests. Instead, they chose to directly cross the Hachimangahara and captured Arasato Castle, which was just across the river from Katsurao Castle.  When the Takeda family's main formation not far from Aratori Castle felt like it was facing a formidable enemy, Nagao Kagetora gave up his attack on the Takeda's main formation and instead crossed the Baba Pass to attack Aoyagi Castle. His purpose was obviously to enter Azum.  Ye, the target is the former Ogasawara clan's territory and the newly built Shenzhi Castle.  Just when the Takeda family's army was in turmoil, the wily Takeda Harunobu made a move. He chose to attack Arasagi Castle at night to cut off the Nagao Legion's food route, and then crossed the Baba Pass to attack the Nagao Legion who was attacking Aoyagi Castle. He planned to attack Aoyagi Castle here.  Let's close the door and beat the dog, and completely wrap up the Nagao family's military strength.  And Nagao Kagetora's response was also a stroke of genius. When he received the news that the Takeda Army was rushing towards Aoyagi Castle, he immediately led the Nagao Army to change direction and cross the Baba Pass, heading straight for Yantian Castle, the temporary camp of the Takeda Army.  After receiving the information, Takeda Harunobu was shocked and worried. He could only stop the march immediately and led the army back to Yantian City to defend it.  What he considered was that once Nagao Kagetora captured Yantian City, it would take away the ordnance and food stored in the Takeda Army's temporary camp. The Nagao Army, which had obtained a large amount of supplies, would be unstoppable. He would inevitably detach part of the main force and drive straight in to sweep Xiaozhen and even Saku.  Waiting for the county, but at this time, the people of Saku and Kozun were still participating in the Takeda army, and the rear was empty and lacked the main force to guard the city. If he invaded the southern part of Shinano, the consequences would be disastrous.  Takeda Harunobu's abandonment brought the two sides back to the starting point. Nagao Kagetora recaptured the Arato Castle abandoned by the Takeda family, and had no intention of repeating his old tricks of crossing the Baba Pass to attack Minami Shinano. Takeda Harunobu was also haunted by Nagao Kagetora.  Tactics was shocked, and also wanted to wait and see what happened, without making any further plans.  Neither side was very willing to fight, and this awkward confrontation lasted until the end of the autumn harvest in mid-September. The Chihisa family of Ina County in Minami-Shinano raised a rebellion, and Akiyama Nobyou was alone and worthy of asking for help from the Takeda family on the front line.  , Takeda Harunobu had to send envoys to discuss a peace agreement with the Nagao family.  The Nagao family was also very satisfied with this raid. Now that the autumn harvest was over, there was no need to stay. After some bargaining, the Takeda family took the lead in announcing their withdrawal in late that month, and then Nagao Kagetora also announced his withdrawal.  The two sides agreed to lead the troops back home without fighting.  At Zenkoji Temple, Nagao Kagetora persuaded Murakami Yoshikiyo to temporarily abandon the construction of Kuzuo Castle, and then ordered people to build Kaizu Castle on the original site of the Kiyono clan's Kaizu Hall. He also ordered Yoshie Keizi, Yasuda Keimoto, and Kakizaki Keie to be stationed in Yashiro Castle respectively.  , Shiozaki Castle, Arato Castle, and Murakami Yoshikiyo is located in the rear area of ??Kaijin Castle, shouldering the responsibility of providing assistance at any time.  At the same time, Usami Sadamitsu was also asked to find Murakami Yoshikiyo with a secret order, and asked him to work with Usami Sadamitsu and the generals of Echigo to suppress the people of Northern Shinano. All the wealthy families who resisted Echigo's military power must be eradicated. At the same time, they must  He also ensured the security of those who surrendered to the wealthy clans. This was also the first step for Nagao Kagetora to seek change. Kira Yoshitoki's letters gave him great inspiration.  Later, Nagao Kagetora also found Kurita Kanyasu, the eldest son of Zenkoji Temple, and told him that the Kawanakajima area where Zenkoji Plains is located will soon start a war again, and Zenkoji Temple will inevitably be the main point of contention between the two families. Legend has it that Takeda Harunobu is cruel and greedy, and in Odai  In the original war, he massacred 3,000 people and built a temple, and even sold all the civilians as slaves. For the sake of Zenkoji, he suggested overtaking the enemy in one fell swoop first, and then moving back to the original location after Shinano was pacified.  .  Nagao Kagetora also told Kurita Kanyasu that Takeda Harunobu carried Suwa's dharma belt over his head in order to gain the title of commanding the Shinano people. The military flag also had "Suwa Daimyojin" written on one side, so he was very likely to obey Suwa.  The influence of one lineage persecuted Zenkoji who had turned to the Nagao family. In fact, it was said that Kurita Kanyasu should go to Echigo to build a Zenkoji, and invite Zenkoji's important treasure "One Light and Three Amida Buddha" statues to Echigo.  To go after.  Although Kurita Kanyasu is reluctant to leave his hometown, he is still very worried about the comfort of Zenkoji Temple, especially the three glazed absolute secret Buddha statues that are the most important treasure in the temple. They are his lifeblood, because the historically tyrannical samurai family took away the Buddha statues in order to force Zenkoji Temple to surrender.  Occasionally, it happened, so he decided to accept Nagao Kagetora's invitation and cooperate with Echigo.??, Naoetsu, close to Kasugayama Castle, selected a site to build a new Zenkoji Temple. For this purpose, Nagao Kagetora specially presented a thousand guan as a gift.  With the impact of the relocation of Zenkoji Temple, people in Northern Shinano, as well as the entire Shinano, Ueno, Echigo, and even the entire Hokuriku and Kanto regions have had a huge impact. From the daimyo and Japanese to the merchants and farmers, they are very concerned.  The reason for this incident is that Zenkoji Temple has a unique status, especially its influence on Shinano Province is even greater than Suwa Taisha Shrine in Minami Shinano.  Zenkoji is a non-sectarian temple. It was born before the separation of the Nakayuan Buddhist sect. It was founded in the third year of Emperor Kogoku (644 AD). The foundation of Zenkoji was Emperor Kogoku. It enshrines Amida Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva and  The three Buddha statues of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. The reason why these three Buddha statues are so precious is that they are the absolute secret Buddhas who were invited from Baekje. Their precepts are so strict that even Zenkoji Temple and the eminent monks of the past cannot see all of them.  Allow.  According to the legend when Zenkoji was burned down in the Kamakura period, these were three glazed Absolute Buddha statues. Although the original Zenkoji Temple was burned down, the three glazed Absolute Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall¡¯s glazed altar were preserved. Later, after Zenkoji was rebuilt, Zenkoji continued to  Don't regard these three absolute secret Buddhas as something more important than life.  The so-called MiBuddha is an extremely rare form of worship in the Ming Dynasty. Due to different beliefs and precepts, MiBuddha is a non-public Buddha statue, and due to different doctrines and regulations of each sect, there will be a certain period of public worship, but it is absolutely  Secret Buddha refers to a Buddha statue that is completely private. No one can see the Buddha except for external force to snatch it.  Zenkoji Temple holds a public worship ceremony once every seven years, which is also called the grand ceremony of the Okaizho in the East. The three Amida statues unveiled in the Okaizhu are not the original Buddha statues, but Buddha statues that imitate the original Buddha. In Japan, they call it  This is the Gozentachi statue that is placed in front of the main Buddha cabinet.  There is usually a golden curtain in front of the glazed altar. The curtain is only lifted during ritual activities in the early morning and noon of a certain day at a specific time. At that time, you can only visit the gozendashi in the golden glazed altar. In the Japanese Buddhist community  Its status is extremely high. If it weren't for the sectarian ideals and its location in the Shinano Mountains, far away from the capital, its status would be five mountains higher.  Nagao Kagetora's persuasion, both soft and hard, caused Zenkoji to move to Naoetsu, under the Echigo Kasugayama Castle. Under the influence of moving Zenkoji, the originally shaken Northern Shinano people once again turned to the Nagao side, and the Shinano people who originally turned to the Takeda side began to  Wavering, and except for a very small number of Shinano people who firmly supported the Takeda family, many people began to have small thoughts.  At this time, the noisy people in Minami-Shinano were also more joyful, including the Kiso family in Fukushima Castle, which also began to be unstable. Suwa County and the Matsumoto Basin were shaken to varying degrees, which made everyone in the Takeda family feel very distressed.  (To be continued.)
