Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was an autumn rain and a cold one. The last light rain in September fell for two days and then dispersed in a hurry. Compared with the heavy rain that often lasts for 20 to 30 days in July and August, this level can only be regarded as drizzle.  In Asahiyama Castle in Shinano Province, Takeda Noburen sat with his back straight in the wide Ohiro room, with hundreds of samurai sitting side by side on both sides of him. Sitting in the middle of the Ohiro room was the most important person he wanted to publicize.  In the first ring, the family governor of the Ashikaga family, Kira Yoshitoki.  Suzuki deliberately shook his head again and said disdainfully: "What do you mean, do you mean to negotiate a truce between the two sides and exchange oaths to never start a war in Shinano country? Is this a request made by the Takeda family? I'm not dazzled.  Right? Or did Takeda Ozen not wake up when he was making the decision, and just used his random instructions to fool us?¡± Kato Kyouaki then joked: ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be worse if the dignified Kahi guardian didn¡¯t wake up?  I handed this post to the Kira family. This is a big joke! Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± A group of samurai laughed, making Takeda Nobuyan tremble with anger but did not dare to get angry.  Diplomats must be prepared to be coldly violent and humiliated in enemy territory.  Takeda Nobuyan lacked experience, but fortunately he was still clear-headed. He suppressed the fire in his heart for a while, then took a deep breath and said: "Please respect yourself, Kira samurai! My lord is the direct descendant of Kai Genji and has been guarding Kai for more than 400 years."  Year, no matter what the reason is, you should not speak rudely to our lord. On behalf of the Takeda family, I would like to express my strong dissatisfaction and anger for the frivolity in your words! "This time the Kira retainers did not laugh, but used another way to deal with it!  He, Tokiyoshi Takigawa, suddenly slapped the case and stood up.  Angrily mocked: "You Takeda family are really good at it. The last Hachimanhara war didn't teach you enough lessons! It was you who invaded Shinano. You were beaten without the ability to fight back and were forced to ask the Imagawa family to sue for peace.  It's you too. It's you who turned around and assassinated my lord. It's you who were attacked by our lord into Chushinano without the ability to fight back. It's you who formed the anti-Echigo alliance again this year, and now you're sitting in Asahiyama Castle to negotiate peace in a grand manner. Tell me.  "Where is your face? Why should we save face for you, the Takeda family?" "Youyou are simply disgusting!" Takeda Shinken stood up with a whoosh.  Helplessly, the tachi in his waist was taken away early, and he could only glare at Takigawa Shiyi with his slender eyes.  Only then did he realize that the height difference between the two of them was a bit big. Takeda Noburen's height was only about 1.55 meters, which was more than a head shorter than the taller Takigawa Tokiyoshi, especially his iconic  Yue took the lead and was completely different from the hundreds of people in the hall.  The Kira family forbids shaving weird hair like Tsuki's hair. If the samurai didn't like their hair being too long and affecting Kabuto's clothing, they would simply shave off all their hair. Tsuki's pig-tail-like shape really made him feel unhappy, and Dongkuni  The Wu family originally didn't like the moon-shaped hair style popular in Western countries, so they still insisted on the traditional hair style of combing their hair into a bun.  "Is this the legendary unparalleled general Takigawa Keijiro? He is indeed a ghost-like figure!" Takeda Noburen was frightened by this behemoth, and his momentum was immediately suppressed by Takigawa Tokiyoshi.  His arms were thicker than his thighs, and his small body was looking for death to resist such a monster-level existence.  "The Takeda meal was held two months ago. The Xingbu-den was also involved in offering prayers at Sarashina Hachimangu Shrine in Sarada County. He must be fresh in his memory, right?" Honda was staring at him with a sinister look in his eyes.  Flashing cold light like a knife.  As soon as he entered Natsu Takeda's house, he led his army into Northern Shinano. Ten months later, the confrontation became serious. He ran to Sarashina Hachimangu Shrine in Sarada County to offer prayers and pray for the war to disappear. In the article, he wrote that the Shinano people were attacking each other.  The invasion caused uneasiness in the country and the suffering of the people. Takeda Harunobu could not bear the suffering of the people, so he raised an army in anger and determined to unify Shinano to resolve the crisis. Now, a leader of Hokuriku invaded Shinano with his selfish desires, destroying the countryside and harming the people, and disrupted our prefecture and county.  Therefore, I pray to the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman to defeat the invading enemies and return to the peaceful and peaceful land of peace. If my wish comes true, I will offer some divine leadership.  When Takeda Harunobu angered Kiragi with such behavior, he also angered tens of thousands of Echigo soldiers. In Kiragi's eyes, Takeda Harunobu was a shameless villain, and his every word and deed revealed his despicable behavior. This world is the Ashikaga family  The world is not the private domain of any family or country. The Ashikaga clan is the royal family of the Ashikaga clan. Even if he does not have Shinano to protect and occupy Shinano country, the shogunate will not have much opinion, not to mention the legal aspect of Shinano.  Protect the legitimate control of Shinano Kingdom.  "Xingbu, resume and tell Takeda Ozen that we have no intention of negotiating with him in any form. The repeated violations of Shinano are unforgivable. How dare you assassinate me so boldly? This year, in order to deal with me, we concocted such an anti-Echigo alliance. Such behavior  This family is extremely disgusted with Takeda Ozen's capriciousness, and we are ashamed to talk to you and other dishonest people! "Kirara Yoshiki is disgusted with the despicable behavior of the Takeda family.But he was so disgusted that he didn't give him a chance to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, two samurai took Takeda Noburen and drove him out of Asahiyama Castle.  As the envoy of the Takeda family, Takeda Nobulen suffered unprecedented humiliation. This slap hit Takeda on the face and another layer of skin was peeled off. The blood was so bloody that the Takeda family warriors hated and feared them. When did the Takeda family be treated like this?  He simply refused and was driven back to Chajiu Mountain in despair without even a chance to show off his reasoning.  Hearing the humiliation of his younger brother, even Takeda Harunobu, who was unusually tolerant, could not help but change his expression: "The Kira family is so cruel! Kira Yoshitoshi did not leave any way for me, the Takeda family, to survive. This is what he is doing  "Tell us, has he made up his mind to destroy the Takeda family?" "As he expected, the Kira family issued a general order to the effect that Kondo wanted to deal with the dishonest Takeda family in one go. As long as the Takeda family's power exists in Shinano,  This war will continue no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, and the expression on the guard of Takeda Katsudai's retainers when this piece of information falls into the hands is truly wonderful.  The Kira Legion is named after standing troops, but it implements an out-and-out policy of separation of soldiers and peasants. With a strong economic foundation, it is a piece of cake to support thousands of standing troops. The Takeda family's military is composed of Japanese land servants and farmers who bear military service.  , the organization is not as strict as Nagao Kagetora's latest military service system.  This kind of off-the-job army that is very close to standing has extremely high morale.  As long as the climate permits, we can go out at any time throughout the year.  The autumn harvest in Shinano is coming to an end.  At the last moment, Takeda's military strength still could not end the war. According to the usual practice, both sides should find a decent place to stop their troops and go home to celebrate the New Year, waiting for the spring and flowers to bloom or a warmer summer before going out to battle for victory. This is the Warring States Period.  There are unspoken rules of war, and everyone follows these rules.  This time, Kira Yoshi clearly stated that he would reject this unspoken rule, shouting that the war will continue until Takeda is defeated, and elevating the Takeda family to the level of life and death enemies, showing the strong emotion of the garrison general.  The character of having clear likes and dislikes and a desire to retaliate, as well as the extremely demanding virtues of the Wu family, put a great psychological burden on many unscrupulous Chinese people.  Since the birth of the Wu family civilization, what they have emphasized and flaunted is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, trustworthiness, propriety, wisdom, and courage. This can be seen from the general character. The direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family uses "righteousness" as the common character, and the Kaibi Genji family uses "xin" as the common character. In addition, there are also  Also with "loyalty", it can be seen that the samurai society attaches great importance to the four words "loyalty, righteousness, trustworthiness and bravery".  But the actual situation is exactly the opposite of what was expected. Since the Genpei era, those who are most likely to emerge in the Shomu family group are those who are unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust.  The direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi were killed by the imperial family together, and the Kamakura shogunate was destroyed by the internal fighting between the imperial family and the Hojo Tokuso family.  Now the Muromachi shogunate has been thrown into disarray due to a disaster, and it is not far from being finished.  A daimyo like Takeda Harunobu, who started his career by overthrowing his father and came to power, inherently despises the so-called loyalty, trustworthiness, and bravery. It is common sense to betray one's trust and stab an ally in the back. Regardless of whether he believes in this "dregs" or not, he still has to talk about it.  The routine of "favors are friends, hatred is enemies" was peeled off by Yoshiki Kira's words this time, revealing the bloody flesh and blood.  The relationship between ruler and subject is deeper than the relationship between the two brothers. The brothers of the Takeda family are not necessarily as good as Yoshitoki Kira and Kagetora Nagao. They are not real brothers but the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law. The abnormal system of Echigo's duopoly was unknown to Takeda.  They have laughed at each other many times, but they have never caused any bloodshed, let alone drawn swords against each other.  The Kira retainers were famous for their stability, and the Mikawa samurai's "stuffy" temperament became famous all over the world. Since the Kira family set off to attack Luoyang eight years ago, it is not known that any of the retainers killed by Kira during the Yoshi period came to Echigo Four.  He directly participated in quelling the rebellion for many years. When dealing with the rebellious people such as Honjo Shigenaga, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomizu, he only punished them by confiscation of their territory, but then turned around and made them direct retainers. It is better to say that it is a punishment than a pardon.  .  The only other country that the Kira family has sent to Echigo to control the war so far is the Shinano Kingdom. Obtaining the official title of Shinano's guardian from the shogunate further strengthened his legitimacy in going to Shinano. Not to mention that the Shinano Kingdom belongs to the shogunate.  The sixty-six kingdoms in the world all belong to the Ashikaga family, so it is not a new thing for the shogunate to change its guardians. The Ogasawara family has not always controlled the Shinano guardianship, so changing the guardians is not a big deal.  When the current guardian of Shinano is Kiragi, the former guardian Ogasawara has been on the Echigo side for a long time. There is no legal or moral reason for the Takeda family to attack Shinano. The show is not as good as that of the Ashikaga family, and the reason is that it is not the genuine brand of Shinano.  As a guardian, he has no connections with the imperial shogunate in Kyoto and the famous Kai clan in Shanwowo. His only advantage is a few allies in the countryside.  "Don't be afraid of them! The Kira family has no allies and is surrounded by enemies. This is our advantage. We can attack him with force first, but we can't do well with him secondly." Takeda Harunobu could only try his best to find reasons to convince himself not to panic.  He himself knows why the Kira family doesn't want allies and what he needs.?Allies?  Do the Ashikaga Shoguns have allies?  No!  The mighty leader of the Genji family does not need allies, because all the samurai in the world are his retainers.  Does the good-for-nothing Koga Furukawa (Furukawa Ashikaga family) have any allies?  There are two Uesugi families who can be regarded as allies. They followed Koga Koga in the night battle in Kagotsu and one of them was wiped out and the other was almost wiped out. Hirashima Koka (Awa Ashikaga clan) is just a canary. Not to mention, Kuraya Koka was killed by the Ashikaga Shogun clan.  Great disparagement never mentions automatic ignoring.  The Ashikaga Clan of Kamisuke is not as good as the Ashikaga Shogun Clan, but it is still better than the canary Awa Ashikaga Clan and the loser Furukawa Ashikaga Clan. How many people does he need to be allies?  Being an ally is equivalent to bringing the other party to the same level as yourself. The dignity of the Ashikaga clan does not allow them to grovel and negotiate an alliance with the small daimyo of the Eastern Kingdom.  Therefore, the Kira family has shown little interest in the so-called alliance from the beginning to the end. According to the information possessed by the Takeda family, there are some similar things. For example, the minor daimyo of Aizu Ashina and others have sent envoys several times to suggest that alliances can be formed, but they were coldly ridiculed.  Only the Ashina Mori who felt humiliated could so directly turn to the Anti-Echigo Alliance.  Takeda Nobuyan was very angry at being humiliated, but he still had something to say: "Brother, I didn't expect the Kira family to refuse so simply. Are we really going to be dragged here and unable to leave? Sooner or later, Erlang will know this news.  When the time comes, the morale of the army will not be stable. Please make a decision quickly, brother!" Seeing the situation, Iito Toracho suddenly wanted to speak, and immediately said, "No matter what, the morale of the army must not be disturbed!  , this is the bottom line that must never be given up. Let the Kira family go to war unilaterally. If we return to Kai with the front foot, the Kira family will follow with the rear foot. The only solution for now is to fight to the death. If we are afraid of the Kira army, let them take the initiative to negotiate.  , I wonder what Gao Baizhai thinks? " "Are you afraid of the Kira Army? The Ministry of War is not telling us a joke! If we could defeat the Kira Army, we would have fought, why wait for the opportunity in Kawanaka Island" Nagasaka Hikaru  Jian suddenly found that he could no longer speak.  What should be said next is that the Takeda family advocated the anti-Echigo alliance. In the end, they found that they could not defeat Kawanakajima, so they set up a dragon gate formation with an army of 20,000 to defend, while the Kira army on the opposite side scraped together 17,800 people.  Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, they still attacked forcefully for two or three months. The Takeda family, which had superior strength, became the defender. This was a joke, and it was even more shameless to laugh at the Hojo family who was beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.  The Takeda family's countermeasures were passed at an extremely fast speed, and the attack on Kaijin Castle was to be strengthened. Takeda Harunobu ordered three thousand Shinano soldiers to go to Kaijin Castle to assist in the battle. They hoped that by capturing Kaijin Castle, they would deal a major blow to the Kira Army and force them to give up.  The Takeda family's intention of unlimited war is very clear. When winter comes and the mountains are closed by heavy snow, will you Echigo people go home?  As soon as Haijin City loses land to the south of Xichuan, do you still want to fight it?  The weather is getting colder at the end of September, and the samurai have taken off their thin autumn clothes. In the Asahiyama Castle Castle, Kiragishi listened to the latest information and sneered: "Isn't this a trick to make peace with a dozen? I didn't expect that my family used it back then.  The previous method has been used by Takeda Haru on my Kira family, but do you think it is really useful? Do you really think that I care about Kaijin Castle? " Takeda Nobushige received 3,000 military support and expanded the partial division to 8,000.  The remaining crowd, compared to the less than 3,000 defenders in Haijin City, once again achieved an absolute gap. The wilderness washed by heavy rains under Haijin City was like a mudflat. Thousands of mountain people were forced to join the army to build simple siege equipment. They were  The Takeda Army forces civilians as engineering troops to take on the most dangerous jobs.  Thousands of civilians pushed flatbed trucks piled with soil and stones. Under the cover of the Takeda Army, they rushed to the city to unload the dirt from the trucks, then pulled the flatbed trucks and fled backwards desperately. However, the civilian husbands had no clothes or armor to cover their heads.  The Takeda troops in armor are so conspicuous, and the defenders on the city will not show mercy just because they are civilians. Whenever they encounter civilians pushing carts to the city, they will greet them with a hail of arrows. If they encounter headless and shameless arrows, they will be thrown down.  Yu only had time to scream before falling dead.  The Takeda Army did not dare to be exposed to the rain of arrows while carrying their rifles. They hurriedly ordered the trembling civilians hiding behind the formation to take over and continue pushing the cart. Time and time again, the civilian laborers who came up to push the cart were shot to death over and over again. Sometimes they were shot to death.  The screams of the unlucky Takeda Army being shot to death by a stream of arrows shot through the gap.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: ps: It is true that Takeda Harunobu sent a prayer to Sarashina Hachimangu Shrine. The general content of the prayer is this, and of course there is also a Nagao Kagetora  In many literary works, the two generals are described as heroes and heroes, and the mutual appreciation model is wrong. The relationship between the two is that they want you to die, including Uesugi Kenshin, who later did not prohibit it.  Kai's sea salt transportation is not about love and righteousness, but has a deeper reason.
