Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As partial masters, Kakizaki Keie, Murakami Yoshikiyo, Ogasawara Nagatoki, and Takanashi Masayori also received the rewards they deserved. Receiving the rewards from the Kira family also recognized his dominance over Northern Shinano in disguise, but this was not enough. For example,  Ogasawara Nagatoki hasn't figured out what to do yet, so he doesn't need to think about it carefully.  If you can't figure it out in one year, you can think about it for three years. If you can't figure it out in three years, you can think about it in five years. If you still can't figure it out in five years, you can use it in ten years. If you still can't figure it out in ten years, then you can only apologize. Even if he figures it out in the future, he won't gain what he wants.  Want something.  Those who privately complained that the Kira family did not reward land for Tomokyo became more honest when they saw the twenty-four mummies hanged in Asahiyama Castle and the cross. Fifty thousand koku of land near Kawanaka Island was confiscated at one time, and members of a clan of twenty-five families were confiscated.  , retainers, and armed subordinates all rushed into the Kira family, which suddenly increased the number of 2,800 troops and hundreds of samurai.  This skill is simply shocking. Less than half of the entire Kawanakajima area of ??120,000 koku was quietly occupied. After assisting Murakami Yoshikiyo to seize the old territory of Katsurao Castle, Kakizaki Kageiehara Sarumo Castle and Kakizaki Castle totaled 280 machibu.  The land was transferred to the 450-machi-bu area near Kitsuru Castle and Isesaki Castle in Hokushinano Kozhin County.  This place is located just southwest of Katsurao Castle. It used to be the territory of the Murakami family. Now, with the strength and confidence of Murakami Yoshikiyo, it is obvious that he cannot hold on to the old family business, so he can only cede part of the disputed area to the Echigo samurai.  , using the frontline land in exchange for the relative safety near Kuzuo Castle.  According to the previous calculation of Shi Gao, the land Zhixing obtained by the Kakizaki Kage family here is equivalent to about 4,500 shi. Of course, this Zhixing enlargement is considered worthy of the risk he has taken.  Because Fox Castle and Isezaki Castle have penetrated into the key parts of the western part of Xiaozhen County.  The Kakizaki family is also a front-line samurai family on the frontline battlefield.  Yoshie Keizi has always been highly regarded as the flagship of the wealthy family of Nagao Kagetora.  This time he also moved from the 180-machi steps of Yoshie Castle to the 300-machi steps of Muroga Castle, which was entrusted to the original Muroga clan. This castle is located in the south of the Kakizaki Kei family territory. It is located on the top of the mountains, with a large area of ??land under the mountains.  Belongs to him.  This city is relatively safe, but it is not without danger. One mile west of Muroga Castle is Aoki Pass, which was called Shunara Pass in ancient times. It is one of the main passages to Minami-Shinano Matsumoto Basin and Fukashi Castle.  .  A large number of Takeda troops have been stationed there for a long time, and he also needs to always be on guard against sneak attacks from behind.  Yasuda Keimoto's land of 140 machibu in Chuetsu Yasuda Castle was transferred to 270 machibu of Suzuki Castle in K身zhin身 County, Northern Shinano. It is opposite to Heijo Yimapingchuan in the south of Chikuma River, and at the same time it is the closest to Kozhin County.  A castle in the east has the heaviest military mission, and it is also the first city to face attack from the direction of Xiaozhen.  ※However, the Chikuma River is just north of Susuki Castle. It is very close and can receive support from the Kira Navy at any time. In addition, there is also the military assistance from Murakami Yoshikiyo on the other side of the river, and Kakizaki Keie and Yoshie Keizi behind him.  The territories of these three martial arts families form an iron triangle, and they can rely on each other as horns.  It can also form a larger defense network with Murakami Yoshikiyo on the other side of the river. As the three samurai who were initially stationed in Shinano, they were granted additional titles by Tomoyo, which was also a change of direction.  It is not difficult to exchange the land of the exterminated Wu family for their loyalty.  The total land holdings of these three families exceeds a thousand towns. There is no problem for the three families to work together to raise a thousand troops. This is still a benefit. At least the people of Echigo no longer complain about the Kira family not increasing the land holdings.  It's not impossible to give it. Of course, those Wu families who are obsessed with land and autonomy can also give it to Zhixing. This time Zhixing is granted an additional title to set an example.  In the future, samurai who want to land knowledge and practice only need to calm down and serve the public, fight according to the example of Kakizaki Kageie, Yasuda Keimoto, and Yoshie Keizi, and work hard to conquer a piece of land. When the time comes, they can obtain the title of knowledge and practice if they have meritorious service.  It can be seen from the enlargement of Zhixing that the Kira family began to emphasize the huge role of the increase of Zhixing in the area of ??cultivated land. Shi Gao's measurement will always fluctuate greatly due to different years of good times and disasters, but the area of ??cultivated land remains unchanged unless  Some samurai deliberately made the land desertified and salty, but who would be so stupid?  The warriors of the Warring States Period had killed several generations of people, but they were not fighting for that little bit of land.  While Kasugayama Castle was happily celebrating the new year, the return of Nagao Kagetora and the victory of the war, Kensei Uesugi, who was taking refuge in Kanayama Castle in Higashi Ueno, fell into the third major crisis in his life.  They were the night battle in Kagotsu and the Tianwen Rebellion. This was the third and most severe time. A slight mistake would lead to the death of Chi's family and people, but it would be more serious to the death of the body and the whole family.  A few months ago, the brutal Hojo Army marched all the way into Ueno Country. The Ueno people who were good at fighting in the past seemed to disappear without a trace. No one came to save him and no one stepped forward to accept him. Uesugi Kensei fled in panic like a bereaved dog. This  How embarrassing is it for him, the former famous Guandong governor!    "Guan Lingden! Satake Ukyoden has refused your invitation!" Yura Narashige sat down worriedly, looking at the cold vast room without anyone. Yesterday there were two retainers here, and today none of them have left.  Leftover.  Satake Yoshiaki calls himself Dr. Ukyo, which is not a big problem in Kanto, a place where no one cares or asks. The Satake family was originally another direct descendant of the Yoshimitsu-ryu of the Genji family in Kawachi. Their original status was equivalent to that of the Takeda family, but this family also inherited Takeda.  The political level of the family went even further. He stood on the opposite side of Minamoto Yoshio and was suppressed to the point where he could not hold his head up.  Therefore, the Satake clan has always been unknown. He was just a native of Hitachi-gun. From the Kamakura period to the Warring States period, he had not made a fortune for more than 300 years. One hundred and fifty years ago, the Satake clan's family governor, Satake Yoshimori, found him at that time.  The Uesugi family in Rizhongtianshan expressed that they had no sons and hoped to welcome an adopted son.  As a result, Yamari Yoshitsune, a member of the powerful family, was greatly disappointed. As a commoner, he thought that he would be the governor of the family this time. Unexpectedly, the governor of the Satake family wanted to cling to the Uesugi family and sell his branch family, so he buried a secret  The Satake family later had a long history of civil strife.  Therefore, the Satake clan was also a clan member of the Yamauchi Uesugi family. When Kenmasa Uesugi was desperate, he remembered that he still had this clan clan, so Nagao sent someone to contact Hitachi Satake Yoshiaki and expressed his willingness to give up the position of governor of the Uesugi family.  To Yoshiaki Satake.  Including the Kanto governor, they also gave it to him.  As long as he can take in his family.  "The Obata Party of Kunmine Castle, the Naha family of Isezaki Castle, and the Akai family of Tatebayashi Castle gathered to rebel. The Nagano clan, Anaka clan, and Kuragano clan responded with silence. Now even the Satake family is abandoning me.  Is God going to destroy my Uesugi family?" Uesugi Kenmasa, who had not eaten enough for the whole day, was in a state of madness, beating his chest and crying in pain.  He never expected that the Ueno people would hate him so much. Ever since the Ueno Uesugi family was destroyed in the Kagotsu Night War, and the Yamauchi Uesugi family had declined to only the name of the Ueno country, his life seemed to have fallen into darkness.  Takeda Harunobu beheaded 3,000 people, threw away their armor, lost their troops, and returned humiliating the country.  ※Then the Kanto Astronomy Rebellion wanted to show off his skills, but found that no one supported him.  No one came to help him, and he was almost killed on the battlefield by the soldiers several times, which made him realize that his life had changed. Since then, Uesugi Kenmasa has been hiding in Hirai Castle, staying behind closed doors during the holidays.  I would write some congratulatory notes to my former retainers, hoping that they would cherish the friendship for many years, but I didn't expect that what they would get in exchange would be ruthless betrayal.  "Why is this happening? Tell me why is this happening? What did I do wrong? Because I don't know how to command troops? But I have never punished anyone. I have always had a good temper!" Uesugi Kenmasa was a little confused and caught  Yura Chengshige shook him repeatedly, and the latter cursed inwardly and had to comfort him.  Just a month ago in the winter months.  The Hojo family succeeded in raiding Otake Castle, the southern gate of Musashi Province to and from Ueno, which shocked the people of Ueno.  Having just experienced a severe drought, the people of Ueno were unable to resist the unconventional invasion of the Hojo Army. Powerful people such as Obata, Naha, Akai, and Tomioka took the lead in raising a rebellion and acted as the vanguard of the Hojo Army to invade the territory of their former master. Uesugi  Kensei had to escape from Hirai Castle in embarrassment under the cover of Nagao.  As a result, when Hirai Castle fell, when he arranged for his confidant Ma Hui to escort his eldest son Ryuwakamaru to escape, those hateful Ma Hui people actually betrayed him and turned Ryuwakamaru directly to the Hojo military tent. This man was only eleven years old.  The eldest children were beheaded and hung on the Otemon gate of Hirai Castle. Of course, the betrayers did not fare well. Hojo Ujiyasu hated this group of profit-seeking villains and beheaded them all to accompany the master they had betrayed.  Went to hell.  After this blow, Uesugi Kenmasa's spirit almost collapsed. He hugged his wife and cried all day long. He was so incompetent that he couldn't even protect his legitimate son, and couldn't even win over his retainers. In the end, he ended up in a situation where everyone betrayed his relatives, and he could only  Regret and sadness, unable to bring up a trace of resentment or anger, he was too weak. Fan, a dashing public minister who was proficient in culture, was mistakenly born in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and he only met a tragic end.  After arriving at Kanayama Castle, it was as if Uesugi Kenmasa's vitality had been drained away. In just over a month, he was like a terminally ill patient. He was completely different from the graceful and handsome guy a few months ago.  He is only thirty-three years old, even two years younger than Takeda Harunobu.  Nowadays, even the loyal family leader Nagao Tocho is hiding away from him. Satake Yoshiaki's refusal so simply makes him even more desperate. Now there are only a few people with minor surnames serving him, including his wife, his youngest son, and his youngest daughter.  , the poor only had one bullock cart, and even the driver who drove the cart ran away, so he could only let Xiao surname take care of it.  Yura Narashige is also very anxious. As expected, many Higashi-Ueno families, including his family, are not very fond of the Uesugi family. They have always been close to the Kanto Lord rather than the Kanto governor. Now this great god has to go to him wherever he can't go.  He couldn't leave home and was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well for a month.    Seeing that the strong and handsome Kant身 Commander was in such a miserable state, Yoshinari gritted his teeth and threatened: "Guard Commander, you can't stay here anymore. The Hojo Army is about to attack. I noticed that there are a lot of people coming in and out of the city.  Stranger, if someone makes trouble in the city when the Hojo army arrives, I won＊t be able to protect Guan Lingdian＊s family!§ ※What can I do? Is there no place for my constitutional government in this world?§  , Uesugi Kenmasa suddenly became extra calm, straightened his clothes and stood up slowly, and said to Yura Shige in a calm tone: "I understand what Shinano Mamoru means. Even if I die here, I will never fall into the hands of thieves.  "No! Please don't" "My lord!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dusty middle-aged samurai walked in. Seeing that Yura Shige was the only one accompanying Uesugi Kenmasa, he nodded at him in a friendly manner.  The head said: "My lord, the only thing that can save our Uesugi family from fire and water is Echigo's negligence, His Highness Nagao Dansh身bi Kagetora!" Nagao Dansh身's mother is the youngest daughter of Y迂ry身 Shigeru's grandfather, Yury身 Keishige.  In terms of relationship, the two are still related, which is one of the reasons why he recommended Uesugi Kenmasa to take refuge here that day.  "Echigo Nagao Kagetora? This is not okay! His father is my enemy of the Uesugi family" Kenmasa Uesugi subconsciously objected. He even doubted whether the family leader had some ulterior motives with the Echigo Nagao family.  For an agreement, you must know that you cannot write two long tails in one sentence, not to mention that they are many branches of the same family. It would be unthinkable if they were connected together.  "My lord! Why are you still hesitating today? If you hesitate a little longer, spring will bloom! How can Ueno Country support the autumn harvest in its current state? Only Echigo's Nagao Danzhoden can resolve the current crisis!  "Chief Changwei has a terrible headache. This family governor usually doesn't think about any government affairs, but now he thinks of the confusing account of the Changwei family. If he has time to think about this, it is better to think about how to survive.  "That's right!" Yura Narashige quickly followed up and threatened: "But what Ma Shou said is absolutely right! Spring planting will be done in one month. After a drought last year, I don't know how many people will starve to death this spring! Guan Ling  If I don't make a decision, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Hojo Army!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!
