Although the Takeda family's Tohoku ninjas tried their best to clarify that this was a false accusation and counter-sued that the Kira family concocted the assassination of Ikaku in order to frame the Takeda family, their defense was feeble in the face of mountains of ironclad evidence. Kira Yoshitomo deliberately A public trial is specially prepared for them. Through word of mouth among merchants traveling in Gyeonggi, Hokuriku, and Yuao, the entire Kanto and even the world knew the news of Echigo's execution. Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the horrific burning, and hundreds of people were hanged on the spot. People His eyes are sharp, and the hanging mummy will never be fake. Echigo banned the Ichikou clan for thirty-five years, and the thousands of Ichikoku were burned, killed, and looted, and the assassination of Kai's Tohoku ninjas was also witnessed by Uesugi Kenmasa and Ogasawara Nagaki. Including the allusion that Honjo Shigenaga sacrificed his life for the savior and was given a sword, spread throughout Kanto. It is absolutely unjustifiable to say that the Takeda family did not collude in it. Takeda Harunobu, who was far away in Kai, kept a rare silence on all this. He could not break through the propaganda of the ninjas and fight against the Kira ninjas. Even such a big news as the assassination of Ichiku could not be hidden from the samurai from all over the world. The dead Echigo samurai and civilians were all real. The Takeda family made a mistake in this operation. After this battle, the members of the Takeda retainers group have clearly realized how big the threat to the Kira family is. It does not lie in the siege of many armies or the use of strategies, but in the naked force to suppress the Takeda army. Takeda Harunobu placed his trust in The highly hopeful Akabi samurai suffered over a hundred losses and over two hundred wounded as soon as they came face to face with them. It would not have been surprising if the entire army had not been wiped out if it had not been for Iito Homasa's speed. What is even more worrying is the blow to morale, especially the confidence of the powerful people of Beishin and CITIC. Many people began to resent the Takeda family's evil deeds and incompetence. I have never seen the Takeda family so helpless despite their superior strength. They feel like they are paying for "punishment for meanness." The people of Shinano were blamed for the evil done by the Takeda family. After losing money, food and population, thousands of people were hired. When the people of Shinano found that they could not defeat the Kira family, it was not surprising that they turned to resent the Takeda family. Takeda Harunobu worked hard for more than ten years to create an invincible image in Shinano, and in one night Suddenly collapsed, the invisible loss of prestige even far exceeded the loss of money, food, population, and battle deaths. "But my family is not ready yet!" In front of nearly a hundred retainers, Takeda Harunobu's eyes gradually became cold and stern: "Give me another year of the Takeda family, and after one year, everything will be returned! Just one year!" As the Kira Legion retreated safely. As a result, the war clouds hanging over Shinano dissipated, and the people of Shinano were busy licking their wounds. The festive harvest season became boring. Kofu canceled all the long-prepared autumn harvest celebrations. Takeda Harunobu simply A long-term vacation in Yuguan Hot Spring brings the family members here to share the family happiness. A few days after the retreat of the Kira Army, Iitomi Masakage led three thousand troops back in triumph. This time the attack on Hida was particularly successful. Iitomi Masakage, together with the local snake of Minami Shinano, Kiso Yoshiyasu, easily invaded Hida. Yamachi caught Miki Yoshiyori, Ema Tokimori and other Hida people by surprise. For the past two hundred years, Hida has been living behind closed doors with his own family. Whether it is the Kolu family, the sister of the Southern Dynasty, or the Gao family, the guardian of the Northern Dynasty, who has entered Taoism. Even if he protects the Daitaga clan, he will inevitably be assimilated by Hida's wealthy people. This time the Takeda family breaks through the country that Hida has closed for hundreds of years. The people of Hida State tacitly put aside their differences and hurriedly organized two thousand troops to unite and try to fight against the invaders. As a result, this ragtag group was defeated by Iitomi Masakei as soon as they met, and they had no choice but to flee to the city. The city is defended. The Takeda Army, which had won the first battle, did not relax its attack. In the next month and a half, it pressed forward step by step, using powerful force to force Hirose Munejo and Shioya Akisada to surrender. The balance of the war gradually increased with the fierce attack of Iitomi Masakage. Deflected, after Uchijima Uri, known as Hida's number one general, surrendered, Miki Yoshiyori and Ema Tokimori, who had run out of ammunition and reinforcements, had to bow their heads and admit defeat. The great glory of suppressing the Hida nation gave a shot in the arm to the depressed Takeda family. The inspired Takeda Harunobu decided to reward this trusted general. At a simple evaluation meeting held in Yutani Hot Spring, Takeda Harunobu announced the promotion of Iitomi Masakage. As a general, he commanded three hundred cavalry and his territory was in Chushinano-Chikuma County. From then on, Iitomi Masakage became a popular member of the Takeda family. The record of suppressing Hida was a good boost to the family's decline, but it was not enough to solve the problem of the deepening crisis of Zhongshinano. Takeda Harunobu has been working hard to prepare his so-called "back-up move". The Kira Legion, who knew nothing about anything, only He stayed in Kitashino for a while and returned to Echigo on September 10th. As the partial division of this military operation, the supporting Shinano Corps and samurai such as Murakami and Kakizaki received a total reward of 10,000 koku of grain. All members of the Kira Corps shared another 25,000 koku reward. The disabled will be considered injured. The residual level gets the value in one goFinancial compensation ranged from twenty to one hundred Guan Wen Yongle money, and the standard for those who died in war was two hundred Guan Wen. The conditions given by Kira Yoshitoki are very good. As long as they are the main front-line force of the Kira Legion, they will receive subsidies whether they are killed in battle or disabled. Depending on the degree of disability, they can also be arranged to retire on the spot and go to the farms and ranches run by the Kira family to serve as ministers. Officials, or arranged on the spot to serve as Tongxinzhongsu elders in towns or villages. This subsidy standard is not entirely measured in money, and samurai do not need that much money. It is generally implemented according to the standard given by the salary, which is about six cents of grain and four cents of grain, unless the samurai or widow receiving the subsidy has special requirements. If we make further adjustments and give Yongle all the money, the Kira family will not be able to bear it no matter how rich they are. When returning to Kasugayama Castle, the war in Ueno also entered its final stage. The Nagao Legion led by Nagao Kagetora rushed to the Ueno front line in early July. The army was stationed in Nagano Kenchu's Umon Bridge Castle and used it as an offensive point to attack The Hojo family launched a comprehensive military suppression. Unlike the Shinano invasion, where the Kira family always took the initiative to suppress the Takeda army at will, the situation in Ueno was far worse than that of Shinano. After the 20,000-strong army led by Hojo Ujiyasu entered Hirai Castle, they were immediately attacked. Nagano Yasumasa's 15,000-strong army resisted resolutely. The core of the Hinoki Isshinzo is the sons-in-law of the Nagano family all over Ueno. Nagano Yasumasa¡¯s dozen sons-in-law plus several generations of relatives who maintain related relationships form a huge network of relationships. Nagano Yamasa can be compared to the smaller Date Inamune. They all use married daughters to maintain a huge network of relationships to establish dominance. Therefore, Nagano Yasumasa can do so on the premise that Uesugi Kensei does not sit on the border. It was not easy to mobilize 15,000 people in one breath and bring in almost all the major national forces that Ueno Country could use. It is still not easy to have a strong organization and efficient command. Hojo Ujiyasu, who was in charge of Hirai Castle, did not panic at all. With his outstanding skills, he quickly calmed down the Ueno people who had taken refuge in Hojo. The people from Ueno who had first surrendered to Hojo, such as Naha, Akai, Tomioka, etc., had no way out for a long time. But if he retreats, his legitimate son will be handed over to the Hojo family. How much choice does he have? Once he is disobedient, Hojo Ujiyasu can bribe his family's generational retainers to collude and force the family governor into seclusion. If he supports his son as the governor of the family, the drama will go on as usual, but he won't even get a supporting role. With the support of Ueno Kingdom's leading party, Nagano Yasumasa's Minawa people immediately retracted after a fierce attack, and united with Nagao Kagetora of Ubashi Castle to make a fierce fight with the intruder Hojo's family. On the other side, Hojo Ujiyasu also realized that there was something wrong with his 20,000 troops against Nagano and Nagao's 25,000 allied troops, and hurriedly ordered more troops to the rear. Many people from the country, including the newly surrendered Chiba clan of Shimosu, joined the formation, and within half a month they raised another 15,000 troops. Now the Shimojo family had 35,000 against 25,000, changing from a military disadvantage. For military advantage. The Hojo family feels much more at ease. In order to add more chips to the Hojo family, Hojo Ujiyasu also brought his son-in-law Ashikaga Fujimasa as a trump card. The two flags of Ashikaga and Fuyin were raised in the Hojo military formation, which exactly corresponded to the Uesugi Sasa of Uesugi Castle. It seemed to be saying that you are concerned about the Higashi Commandery, and I am concerned about the Higashikata. Who is afraid of whom? Both sides stood their ground and launched various military tests. Military conflicts involving thousands of people occurred from time to time. Today, the Nagao Army captured a castle belonging to the Hojo family, and tomorrow the Hojo family responded in kind and captured a castle belonging to the Ueno people. , the marathon-style confrontation between the two sides can be painful to the people of Ueno. Kuragano Bizen Mamohiro, who was closest to Hirai Castle and was under the greatest pressure, could not hold on to his position. After ten days of tenacious resistance, he finally surrendered to the Hojo family at the end of July. As one of the eight Shangzhou families, Kuragano The surrender of the Kano clan was nothing less than shocking news. Behind him were Minawa Castle and Umbashi Castle. This rebellion completely disrupted Nagao Kagetora's military deployment. ?????????? If the Hojo family continues to maneuver little by little, this war really cannot continue. So when the Hojo family was mainly attacking Shimana Castle, Nagao Kagetora personally led an army of 10,000 people and rushed to Shima Nairobi Castle. Hojo Ujiyasu's Fuma ninjas have been paying close attention to monitoring the Nagao family's every move. At the same time that there was a sudden movement in Amabashi Castle, Hojo Ujiyasu received the news immediately and decisively gave up the attack on Shima Najo Castle and turned towards the direction of Amabashi Castle. The two sides met on the west bank of the Tone River, and at this time the Hojo Army had an absolute advantage in strength with 30,000 to 10,000. Nagao Kagetora stands under the formation screen and looks at the Sanlin Flag in the distance. To the east of the Nagao Army's main formation is the rapid Tone River. Not far to the west is Tori River, a branch of the Tone River water system. Shimana Castle happens to be located in Tori River. In the middle of the delta before converging with the Tone River, the straight line distance between the two rivers is less than half a mile. The land here is fertile and rich in products, making it the richest area in Ueno Country. Nagano Yasumasa also led the army to come over at this time. When he saw the Nagao army forming a formation on the bank of the Tone River, he?It was a natural move to take the initiative to lean in. The main forces of both sides gathered together to fight against the Hojo Army. However, Hojo Ujiyasu was unwilling to see this situation, so the Hojo Army immediately launched an attack on the Nagano Army, trying to take advantage of their strength to defeat the Nagano Army in one go. Fight back and then turn around to attack the strategic purpose of the Long Tail Army. "Divide the encirclement and defeat each one! He must have been waiting for this moment for a long time!" Nagao Kagetora's fierce tiger-like eyes swept across the Echigo generals and ordered: "Everyone, listen to the order! Follow my family and defeat the Hojo army. To recapture Hirai Castle for the Imperial Palace!" "Yes!" The Nagao Army attacked without hesitation, taking the Yangboku clan's Yasuda Nagahide and Ayukawa Kiyoshi as the vanguard to guard the right flank of the Hojo Army. The Edo people were working hand in hand, and the Hojo genealogy representative Lao Toyama Tsunakage did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to set up a formation to resist the impact of the Nagatail army. Under the Hojo family's foster care system, each territory is divided into several major ethnic groups based on the specific characteristics of each territory. Their names are named after "people". For example, the Edo people in the southern Kanto area are the forces. The largest group of Chinese people is headed by a descendant of the Hojo family as the military leader. This leader is also called the "Issaku". The lord of the country is the lord of the branch city. During the war, he obeys the leader's orders and recruits soldiers to go out with the army. The retainers of the lord of the country serve as foster relatives and are powerful local nobles and local servants. Further down, that is, the bottom is specifically about horseback riding. Various arms such as samurai, ashigaru, bow ashigaru, and iron gun ashigaru are Yoshiko. This system of fostering relatives and fostering children subdivides the Chinese group into every link. If you go to war during peacetime, you need to bear a certain amount of military training every year. If you go to war again during the busy farming period or after completing the military service of the year, the lord must provide Parents and children receive certain tax exemptions in exchange for following them into battle. This strict system is not original to the Hojo family. Kinai Miyoshi and Kai Takeda also implement similar systems in Shinano. Imagawa Yoshimoto seems to be interested in trying this system in Enji. The only question is whether he can do it without Taiyuan Xuesai. The complete implementation of this system is still a question. As the area with the most fertile land and the highest knowledge and practice in southern Kanto, the Edo clan is responsible for the military service of more than 5,000 people. They are also the largest national group under the Hojo family. In comparison, the Matsuyama clan only has 1,200 people and the Miura clan has only 1,200 people. There are only 1,100 people in the army. As a powerful member of the Hojo family, they bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the main force of the Nagao Army. This is because Hojo Ujiyasu trusts and values ??them. The vanguard of the Nagao Army came from the Yangbei Army. Yasuda Nagahide and Ayukawa Kiyonaga were both capable of conquering and fighting. They realized that the Hojo Army opposite was an armed force with the national flag, and they immediately felt annoyed that they were being looked down upon. , the two of them discovered that there was a slight flaw in the slowly moving formation of the Edo people, and they tacitly commanded a thousand troops to accelerate and charge forward. The first wave of impact came from the Ashigaru team armed with three guns. Although they could not learn the luxurious weapons and equipment of the Kira family and various special tactics with new weapons, there was still no problem in learning the gun quilts. The Nagao army All the major armies in the army have mastered the use of rifle quilts skillfully. When they were about to take over, the Ashigaru troops suddenly dispersed in a scattered formation and collided with the Hojo army's spear formation, which immediately caused a huge response.
