Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Then it was reported that Rokkaku Yoshiken coveted the two prefectures of the Kira family and coerced the shogunate to make a decision that was not beneficial to the Kira family. This time the Rokkaku family repeated their old tricks and wanted to use the shogunate's hands to severely punish the Kira family, and achieved this  The ultimate goal of plotting to seize the two counties, but these two counties were personally rewarded by His Highness Kikakata after the Kira family made great contributions to the shogunate. Whoever planned this was against the shogunate, and the Rokkaku family's plan was wrong.  Abacus was eventually punished by gods and Buddhas.  There are many related rumors, but in the end, the Rokkaku family is portrayed as bullies who steal chickens but lose rice. Rokkaku Yoshiken's stupidity and arrogance are gradually shaped through the spread of rumors. A few years ago, the world only thought that he was a "  The "dark fool" family governor, looking back now, he really deserves to be called stupid.  Taking this opportunity, some people revealed the poor performance of the Rokkaku family in the Fukakusa Battle and the Katsuragi Battle, as well as the story of how they joined forces with the Hatakeyama family to attack the Miyoshi family a few years ago but ended up being a joke. Public opinion in Kinai was one-sided.  Satirize this greedy, arrogant and stupid family governor.  The shogunate was gnashed in hatred by the Kira family, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru hated those bastards of the Kira family for depriving him of a powerful helper. He even wondered whether there was Kira Yoshiki behind the scenes who was leading the changes.  Fortunately, he is still rational. After careful consideration, he found that Kiragi had no chance to predict in advance. He has focused all his energy on the management of the Eastern Kingdom in these years and has rarely interfered with the two counties of Kinai. At most, he has a set of related plans.  , may not be able to achieve such detailed judgment and decision-making.  But in this way, it would be very uncomfortable for the shogunate to be caught in the middle. Fortunately, Ninagawa came with the news from the front.  Nakajo Tokihide expressed that he did not know that Mibuchi Yamato Shoden actually conveyed the imperial teachings of the shogunate.  Because Yamato Sanbuchi, who was guarding the palace, caught the cold when he came to Otsu, he developed a high fever and fell ill, unable to read the imperial teachings.  It¡¯s not easy to get around Otsu at the moment, so I¡¯m really sorry about that.  Even if the shogunate knew that he was talking nonsense, they still had to cooperate and play out this scene. Ashikaga Yoshiteru snorted in annoyance, which was regarded as acquiescing to their unscrupulousness, and then Ninagawa's head said that it was really wrong for the Rokkaku family to repeatedly violate the boundaries.  It violated the laws of the shogunate, but this war still found serious shortcomings in the Rokkaku family. The samurai were weak and incompetent, and their morale was low. Although they had an army of 25,000, they were beaten to pieces.  In fact, it is implying that the Rokkaku family is unreliable, or the Kira family is more reliable.  It is an indisputable fact that they surrendered after losing only 600 people. No matter how the Rokkaku family argued, it was useless. The reason of emphasizing objective factors that everyone is an ally so I surrender is untenable. Even Ashikaga who is not good at military strategy is untenable.  Yihui was also worried about the situation of the Hexagon Army, especially after receiving first-hand war information, he frowned deeply.  "This Hexagon Army is really shameful. How can they be so lazy and loyal to the shogunate and protect the foundation of the shogunate?" Ninagawa bowed down and said sincerely: "That's why I dared to attack at night but did not kill anyone.  That's it. If the Rokkaku Army is so strong that it defeats us, there will be nothing to say even if the Rokkaku family really takes away the land of two counties. But in fact, the Rokkaku family is greedy and has no response.  Since Rokkaku Ky¨­jo became the governor of the family, he has repeatedly performed poorly in battles, exposing his weakness in military strategy. If Rokkakuden is used as the shogunate, it is difficult to say whether he can stop the Miyoshi Army" Ashikaga Yoshiki waved his hand.  , said calmly: "No need to say any more, just tell us your plan!" Ninagawa bowed again and respectfully replied: "We respectfully ask His Highness to decide, to the land of Omi Ritai County, one county  In exchange for the ownership of 15,000 captives, we, the Kira family, are willing to cede 200,000 koku of grain and grass and 50,000 copper coins in return. At the same time, we will do our best to make up for the lost prestige of Rokkaku Jingzhao and agree with Rokkaku.  The family signed a no-war covenant to ensure the long-term peace and tranquility of Omi Kingdom. " Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't bother to care about this nonsense anymore. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Is this a price that is really rich enough for a county in exchange for prisoners and money and food?  I think Rokkaku Ky¨­sho and the officials of the Rokkaku family have nothing to say, so let¡¯s just go ahead!¡± The shogunate¡¯s decision quickly reached the Rokkaku family, and they saw the lines written in the official royal book.  With the cold verdict, the father and son Rokkaku Yoshihide and Rokkaku Yoshiharu could not help but hug each other and cry loudly. Fifteen thousand elites were trapped in the hands of the Kira Army and could not come back. What could they use to deal with the Kira Army?  Just the less than 10,000 defeated troops in hand?  The morale of the 10,000-strong army collapsed in the past, so why should we humiliate ourselves again?  But it was too shameful for Li Tai County to be ceded to him. It was a hundred times more uncomfortable than calling him an arrogant and stupid family governor. But Rokkaku Yixian had nothing to do. The advantage of military power was completely destroyed, and the advantage of public opinion was completely destroyed.  When he ran to Kira's house, the Gokudai retainers also complained about his decision. The bastard Gokudai who had been clamoring to seize the two counties before, actually?To turn against others and put all the responsibilities on him, the family governor, is simply a hundred times more shameless than the Kira family!  Rokkaku and his son were worried for several days but could not come up with a better solution. The Kitanomi Asai family showed signs of instability again. Now Rokkaku and his son panicked. What if the Asai family took the opportunity to attack them?  It was a matter of losing a county, but the Rokkajia family was completely destroyed. He could be sure that these bastard generations would not pity him as the family governor, but would take this opportunity to seize their own territory and then ask for credit and rewards from the new master.  In the end, Rokkaku Yoshixian gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, he could get all the prisoners back and get 200,000 stones of food and grass and 50,000 guan of Yongle money. Then the two sides signed a non-war covenant. The effectiveness of this covenant was limited to the fact that both parties were not allowed to use any means.  Time, any form of aggression against each other, otherwise they will be severely punished by the shogunate and deprived of all territory. It does not involve the connection of mutual aid and other treaties. It is better to say that it is an alliance than a peace agreement.  The Kira family was quite kind, and they quickly rehabilitated Rokkaku Yoshihide's reputation. This all turned into a misunderstanding. The night battle at Mount Shouyama was also described as the Rokkaku family thinking that the shogunate acquiesced to the Kira family's raid, and then gave up resistance and quickly retreated. Although this statement  People will always find fault, but with the endorsement of the shogunate, the two parties involved agree.  The onlookers also happily understood this farce.  Asai Hisamasa did not expect that the two families would reconcile so quickly.  The Rokkaku family gave up Li Tai County without saying a word.  Twenty-five thousand troops quickly gathered in Kitaomi. Rokkaku Yoshiken came over with red eyes and almost frightened Hisamasa Asai. He hurriedly sent a messenger saying that it was a "misunderstanding". In fact, he was worried that his in-law might be in trouble and came to help.  Then he ran back to Xiaogu City with his own coalition forces without saying a word and stayed behind closed doors.  After this ordeal, Rokkaku Yoshihide was mentally disturbed and had some mental problems. Soon he decided to become a monk and live in seclusion, and he became a monk and became a monk.  The previous name of Rokkaku Yoshihide was abolished, and his name was Rokkaku Sakyo Daifu Ido Seizhen, or Bakansai Seizhen.  In the Buddhist hall of Guanyin Temple City, Rokkaku Yoshiken, who was dressed as a monk, summoned a group of family members and said solemnly: "I can't admit defeat yet, and my Rokkaku family can't admit defeat either. We still have to rescue my sister and sister in Pumen Temple.  Brother-in-law, our Rokkaku family still has a powerful enemy like Miyoshi Changqing. Defeating the Miyoshi family can revive the reputation of the Rokkaku family. Are you willing to struggle to survive in the declining Rokkaku family?  Retainers, if our Rokkaku family perishes, you can only be other people's foreign ministers. You must understand the difference between the family members and the foreign ministers." Goto Kentoyo and other members of the family family were shocked and looked stunned.  He said: "I understand! Without the banner of the Sasaki family, we will have nothing. Please rest assured, lord, we will try our best to assist the lord in reviving the family name!"  In early May, on a sunny morning, the golden sun gradually climbed up.  At the top of the Yatsugatake mountain, the thick fog shrouding the Toishi Castle seemed to be slowly being opened. The long-lost bright sunshine shone on the earth. It was neither as dazzling as the scorching sun at noon nor as dim as the sunset in the evening.  , it is so warm and full of faint golden light, nourishing the flowers, plants and trees in the mountains. This is the best time of the year in Shinano.  The strong mountain wind blew into Peishi City, blowing away the putrid smell in the city. The corpses of civilians lying scattered in the streets of the city were left uncollected. The only ones who were still active were the cowering guards at the top of the city. Since last year,  More than half a year has passed since the defeat of Kawanakajima, when Yukitaka Sanada led 800 remnant soldiers and took more than a thousand villagers to hide in Toishi Castle to hold on.  During the six months of holding on, the Sanada army faced more and more siege by Kira's army. At the end of autumn, Murakami Yoshikiyo still led 6,000 Japanese troops. After the spring planting, the number increased to 8,000. From the north of Toishi Castle, Xiima Castle and Negoya  From the city to Sanada Castle in the east, Toyo Castle in the west, and Isesaki Castle in the south, a tight network of city walls was built.  Since you can't fight up the mountain, I'll simply starve you to death. Since October last year, the Sanada Army has not gained a grain of food. All the Sanada Township farmers who risked their lives to deliver food to the mountain have been captured and exiled to Sado Island for mining.  What's worse is that the peasants who were brought here lacked food and clothing, and more than half of them froze to death and starved to death in the city. For a time, the people in the city were filled with resentment, and they all asked the city lord to open the city and let them go down the mountain.  But how dare Sanada Yukitaka let them go? It¡¯s okay for everyone to endure hunger and cold together. At this time, if all the villagers are let go, how much morale will the city¡¯s defenders have? No one wants to live to earn a life, let alone  He was buried with the Takeda family, but Yukitaka Sanada couldn't let go. He couldn't let go. He couldn't let go of the Takeda family. He couldn't let go of the Takeda family at this time.  Smart people are often more paranoid, and they have to go to the dark side when they follow a path. Yazawa Yoritsuna could not persuade him no matter how hard he tried. Instead, he was ridiculed by Yukitaka Sanada several times and asked him to surrender to the enemy. Because this incident made the close relationship between brothers also deteriorate.  Sometimes Yukitaka Sanada regrets being a little cold, but hisThe wife still has no choice in the hands of the Takeda family. Even if loyalty is not mentioned, she must always consider the children.  In order to appease the restless villagers in the city, Sanada Yukitaka swore that he would grab food next spring. He managed to survive the half-year food shortage. By the time he finally got through the early spring, the food in the city had basically bottomed out. Sanada Yukitaka and eight others  Hundreds of remnant soldiers risked their lives to go down the mountain to grab food from Isesaki Castle, but unexpectedly fell into Murakami Yoshikiyo's trap. Only more than 600 of the 800 men escaped back, and the rest of the samurai were trapped outside Isesaki Castle at the foot of the mountain.  .  Most of the soldiers who escaped were wounded, but the city was short of medical treatment and food. These injured soldiers could only die in pain after their wounds were infected. Sanada Yukitaka gritted his teeth and burned all their corpses.  Leaving these wounded and infected dead bodies would only bring disaster.  The city has been without food and clothing for half a year. In desperation, everyone from the defenders to the farmers in the city began to supply limited amounts of food. Both civilians and soldiers had one meal per person.  The peasants were given only a bowl of clear soup-like gruel for one meal.  Ashigaru is better and you can get some rice grains to eat, but it's not much better.  The samurai could barely survive on rice balls and thick porridge.  Eating this meal is almost the same as not eating at all. How could the peasants endure without food? In less than half a month, large numbers of peasants starved to death. Many people's corpses fell together at the gate of the city. However, the warriors could not eat enough.  , the Ashigaru people were struggling on the edge of life and death, huddled at the foot of the warm city wall all day long, without the strength to clean up those dead bodies.  As the temperature rises, the rancid smell is simply unbearable. What¡¯s worse is that the plague may happen at any time.  The gate of the city has been designated as a restricted area for life, and is blocked by fences. Sanada's army has already tried its best to defend the city, and there is no need to defend the city. Just blocking the city gate with these dead bodies is the biggest biological weapon.  The two to three hundred defenders of Mishan City and Zuxing City could only guard the walled city but did not dare to go out to grab food. It was even more difficult. In May, the famine knocked down all the defenders in the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two city lords immediately launched an attack.  The city surrendered, and he would rather go to the prison camp and eat three meals a day than be locked up in the city and eat one meal a day, but Yukitaka Sanada still gritted his teeth and persisted, and his paranoid temper was demonstrated to the extreme.  Murakami Yoshikiyo seemed to have made up his mind not to attack.  Be patient and continue to play his food-deprivation strategy. If you don't come down, I won't come up either.  Everyone is competing to see who has the strongest patience. At this time, Shinano is in the process of annexing new villages, reorganizing farmland responsibilities and developing new fields. Murakami Yoshikiyo is promoted to the Ashikaga Genealogy Daidai as the leader of the Northern Shinano flag, and several counties in Northern Shinano.  He was required to be responsible for advancing all aspects of government affairs, and there really was no time to distract him from attacking a dead city that was destined to be destroyed.  The reason why Peishi City has repeatedly blocked the army is that the first reason is that the terrain is dangerous and several surrounding branch cities are at the horns of each other, so as to help each other to ensure safety. The second reason is that it relies on the surrounding reinforcements to protect its flanks. Even if it is surrounded by the enemy army, it can still rely on the support of friendly forces.  Protecting the city safely through the threat of siege is similar to the dozens of fortress groups in Nishi Ueno with Minawa Castle and Takaduri Castle as the core. It does not rely on one fortress to defend the city, but several or dozens of fortress groups.  The large-scale effect can prevent the enemy's massive siege. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? So when the Jujiaomishan City and the Zixing-shaped City of Toishi City fell one after another, and were besieged from all sides without any reinforcements to help, this fortified city became a dead city, and what could happen if the grain and grass were piled high, and the soldiers were elite and good at fighting?  All you have to do is cut off the supply of food and grass in the city and the support from the rear, and trap you for one, two, or three years, but in the end you will still be dead.  In Toishi Castle Castle, Sanada Yukitaka lay on his side without moving for half a day. His body was thin and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop. His long beard had not been trimmed for a long time. The samurai could only lie down due to hunger for many days.  Lying down reduces the torture of hunger. The more you move, the less energetic you are and the easier it is to get hungry. When lying down becomes a habit, this mountain city is not far from destruction.  He left in a hurry when he was defeated and retreated last year. Even his wife Kyounin was left in his hometown of Sanada Castle and did not have time to bring him to Toishi Castle. Now he does not know where he is. If he is trapped, there are only five people alive in the city.  Hundreds of people, this is the data from half a month ago. Perhaps when you wake up one morning, you will find more people dying of hunger.  Yazawa Norizuna weakly pushed the door open and came in. Long-term hunger had made his body a little swollen. The thick bags under his eyes showed that he was in a poor mental state. The smell of similar chicken coop and body odor was difficult to cover up. As for lice, he had long been used to it.  Not surprising, Yazawa Yoritsuna was not surprised to see him lying still, swaying and lying on the tatami.  "There is not much food left. We can still survive with one meal a day for seven or eight days. If we continue like this, we will have to change it to one meal every two days." Yukitaka Sanada's eyelids moved, and after a while he said: "Every day outside the city  Is it still an arrow that sent a message? " "Well! The latest message is that Echigo released Nomiya, Taroden and the prisoners, but for some reason they didn't let us go. "   "The people outside the city are really thoughtful. They come every day to persuade us to surrender, and they try different ways to seduce us every day, but we don't know that our family will never give up easily!" Sanada Yukitaka's eyes showed a mocking look, and he played with Murakami Yoshikiyo.  He didn't like tricks at all. In the eyes of him, a senior siege expert, besieging a city and depriving him of food was always the stupidest way. Murakami Yoshikiyo was obviously such a fool.  Yazawa Norizuna said worriedly: "The city is unstable! The matter of eating corpses was just settled a few days ago. Everyone has a lot of resentment. If my brother doesn't make a decision quickly, I'm afraid this city will be sacrificed sooner or later.  !¡± ¡°Go and comfort me, you must persist¡± Sanada Yukitaka gasped excitedly: ¡°We can¡¯t give up at this time!¡± Yazawa Yorizuna shook his head.  I know that his brother has an almost paranoid mentality towards Takeda Shingen.  He vaguely realized that this was not because of so-called loyalty or kindness.  Maybe it's because of cherishing feathers, but it's always hard to say this kind of thing. The smarter people tend to be, the more conceited they are.  Neither of them wanted to talk about the difficulties in the city anymore. After chatting for a while, they talked about releasing the prisoners of the Takeda Army. Yazawa Yorizuna asked: "Why did the Kira family look for me and wait to surround me to death? Until now, the samurai in the city  Half of them are dead, most of Ashigaru is dead, and not many civilians are left. If we are allowed to go to Kai now, we will definitely not refuse! " "Needless to say, it must be the mayor of Kasugayama Castle.  Mr. Yukitaka's idea" Sanada Yukitaka laughed inexplicably: "What have you done in Shinano these years? How many times have you blocked the Kira family's road? You can find out with just a little research. This town man must hate me very much.  Yukitaka's, that's why we will never be allowed to retreat calmly to Kai." Yazawa Yoritsuna looked at Sanada Yukitaka cautiously and whispered: "There is also news that Genta and Tokujiro died in the battle with Hachimanhara." "Sanada Yukitaka.  His face suddenly changed. The face that was full of persistence and confidence just now turned gray. He couldn't hold it back any longer and choked up: "Are you finally sure? It was me who harmed those two children! It was me who was too greedy.  They were all killed. Why do I insist on defending the city? Why should I defend the city when my descendants are dead?" Yukitaka Sanada closed his eyes in pain to prevent tears from flowing out.  He is the lord of a city and the flag-bearer of the Shinano sect. He must maintain his majesty at all times.  Even in front of his brother, he has to work hard to not look so weak.  Yazawa Yoritsuna could understand his brother's painful mood at this time. He had placed too much trust in the two brothers Sanada Nobutsuna and Sanada Masaki since he was a child. He carefully cultivated him and sent him to Takeda Shingen's side as a valet. In recent years, his eldest son Nobutsuna has grown up.  He was on the verge of becoming a great general, but he didn't want to die in Hachimangahara in his early twenties. His second son, Masaki Sanada, was only fifteen years old, and died here in the Battle of Kawanakajima, his first battle. How could he let this person die?  The father is heartbroken.  He also gradually understood what his brother meant. As a father, he usually had no time to discipline his children. He could only use his own life as bait to resist the powerful attacks of the Kira family, and then relied on defending the city like this to fight for the two children who stayed beside Takeda Shingen.  A piece of credit, even if Yukitaka Sanada died in Ishiki City, relying on this hard work, he could still be regarded highly by Takeda Shingen and be trained as a confidant.  But it all came to nothing. Two children died in Hachimanhara, but his father suffered all winter and didn't know why. The Kira family chose to tell him the news when the city was running out of food and aid. It was definitely with bad intentions, but Sanada  Why does Yukitaka blame the Kira family?  As an enemy, I have no obligation to tell him the truth. Even if I tell him now, it is out of good intentions. Even if he dies, I will let him know the truth.  "The two brothers, one is a valet and the other is a centipede. Logically speaking, they should be the safest. However, the Kira army almost killed the lord when they attacked the formation. The valet and Hatamoto samurai beside the lord were killed and injured, but Genta was killed.  Tokujiro's life is involvedit's really not as good as God!" "No! I'm too proud of my brother, but I have to relax my vigilance in this encirclement. Who knows, not only have I not done my best!  Instead, he brought his son in" Sanada Yukitaka cheered up, took a deep breath and said: "No matter what, we have to find a way out for the hundreds of men in the city, we can't just sit back and wait for death, otherwise our persistence will be meaningless!" Yazawa Yori!  Tsuna's spirit was shaken, and he secretly said excitedly: "Brother, have you finally enlightened? That's right! The death of two nephews is still a big blow. If it were me, I would have surrendered to the Kira family long ago. This miserable life is really uncomfortable.  "It would be better to end it one day early." "You take your sons and surrender, and I will leave Shinano and go to Kai." Yazawa Yorizuna was sweating profusely when he heard this. This was completely different from what he had imagined. How could he end up with this?  He still had to seek refuge with the half-dead Takeda family. In his opinion, it was nonsense for the Shinano samurai to be loyal to the Kai-Takeda family. The relationship between the Sanada family and the Takeda family was that of YuenMy father-in-law, my family's territory was earned through hard work. Now that the Takeda family is declining, it is only right to take the opportunity to join the Kira family.  Although he said this, he did not dare to persuade his brother in this way. If his unscrupulous thoughts were exposed and his brother was offended, he would lose more than he gained. So when he said it, he changed his words and said: "How can this be done! Brother, I am  As the head of the Sanada family, it is said that people are humble when they leave their hometown. After all, it is inappropriate for my brother to go to Kai alone. Even if he goes to Kai, he will be looked down upon by the samurai of Kai. At least I have to take my close samurai from the Sanada family with me.  , Gengoro is still in the Kai Kingdom, and with our loyal samurai of the Sanada family, we can make a comeback" Yukitaka Sanada shook his head noncommittally: "This matter is settled. I will send a contact outside the city tomorrow. I know you will have a way.  Once you contact them, tell Murakami Yoshikiyo that we are surrendering the city!" The two were explaining the matter of surrendering the city, but they heard a noise in the city, and Kawara Takashi ran in with a strange expression that seemed to be both excitement and fear.  When they saw the two brothers, they said: "My lord, Totsuna-den is here! Go to the top of the city and have a look! Everyone who can move in the city is gathered at the top of the city!" "What! What did you say!" Sanada Yukitaka didn't know.  Where did he get the strength? He jumped up with a "whoosh", grabbed Kawara Takamasa's arm and stared at him: "Tell me again who is here? Who else is outside the city? What is going on!" Kawara  The Takamasa family has been the patriarch of the Sanada family for generations, and his own sister is the wife of Yukitaka Sanada. Compared with the samurai family, which has strict rules, the relationship between the ruler and ministers of the Sanada family is the most harmonious. Kawahara Takamasa said excitedly: "My lord, you  Grandfather Dongzuna is here! Outside the city, there is only Dongzuna and a small team carrying loads. From a distance, it looks like we are saved!" Sanada Yukitaka took a few steps back in disbelief and sat down with a bitter smile.  Said: "I didn't expect that I would be tricked to this point! I lost I lost completely!" The other two people in the room were frightened by his performance. They didn't know what the reason was, which made Yukitaka Sanada sigh, and Yazawa  Noritsuna asked anxiously: "Brother, what's going on? Shouldn't you be happy after not seeing your relatives for a long time?" "No more, you will know later." Otemon has become a restricted area for life and it is really not suitable to pass through, so Sanada Yukitaka said  He opened the door that had been sealed for half a year, and hurriedly freshened up with his family members. He barely put on a decent appearance before going out to greet him. He saw a thin old man walking slowly with a cane. Sanada  When the samurai saw the old man, they all knelt down and saluted, as if he was the master of the castle. He was the grandfather of Yukitaka Sanada and the last family governor of the Shino clan, Umino Totsuna.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
