Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Within half a month after the crusade order was issued, 20,000 troops gathered under Kasugayama Castle. This mobilization speed far exceeded all the daimyo in the Eastern Kingdom. The 20,000 troops were divided into two batches, of which 5,000 were commanded by Saito Nobubu.  As a general, he rushed to Vietnam, where he would gather with 15,000 troops led by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Numata Yumitsu, Kakizaki Keie and others to implement Kira Yoshitoki's conquest strategy.  On the other side, Nagao Kagetora was the general, leading 15,000 men and the main force of the Kira Army to Dewa to rescue the Ohoji clan, a powerful Chinese in the Tokai County. In addition, Shitara Sadachi, Miyabe Tsurun and Shinano's  Yukitaka Sanada's department is responsible for cleaning up the remnants of Shinano Junior High School and has issued a reward order. However, those who report the remnants of the crime can receive rewards ranging from fifty mon to ten guans once verified.  With the cooperation of the villagers who were greedy for profit, more than a thousand of the remnant gangsters were quickly captured. Although they failed to capture Takeda Ryuyoshi in the end, they still followed the clues and found several secret gathering points.  It turns out that the gold and silver treasures hidden in it are worth tens of thousands of guan, and the resources involved in the case are astonishingly large, including 6,000 koku of grain, 6,000 koku of weapons, and more than a thousand sets of weapons. This shows that this power has been deeply rooted in Shinano by Takeda Shingen for a long time.  As for the captured remnant gangsters, they were escorted to Kasugayama Castle and interrogated to determine their identity and level of involvement. The principal criminals were all hanged as a warning, and the followers were exiled to various mines in Echigo according to the level of crimes they committed.  What awaits them will be an eternal life as a miner. This is a new method that Kira Yoshitoki has learned. It is more appropriate to kill only the perpetrators and the remaining ones than to castrate.  Such a large-scale purge of the Ichibuki sect in Shinano quickly spread to Ueno country. Soon the people of Ueno country also operated on the few monasteries of the Ikbuki sect in the country with the permission of Kira Yoshitoki, and captured all the monks of the Ikbuki sect and exiled them to Sado.  When he occupied the island and occupied the property of the Ichikoji Temple and paid half of the loot to Kiragi in proportion, he almost instantly plunged the innocent Ichikoji Temple in Ueno Province into the abyss of destruction.  At the same time, Kira's followers began to exert their strength.  Mitsui Tora was appointed to Ueno to preside over the work related to the inspection of Ueno Junior High School, the evacuation of villages and the demolition of city walls. Regarding the dissatisfaction and complaints of Ueno people, Mitsui Tora explained: "I will give you a new village and a safer place to live."  Isn¡¯t it good enough? What good will it do for the country to build a fortress with earthen buildings on the mountains and rivers? If the world is peaceful one day, will you continue to live in the mountains? " Others are worried that if the fortress is demolished, it will encounter the Hojo Army from the direction of Musashi, or from the Shimo direction.  They didn't know how to resist the attack. Regarding this kind of in-depth questioning, Mitsui Torakanori told them not to worry in a pleasant manner. As long as the master took action, they would be invincible. The master believed that taking advantage of the danger and defending could not be achieved by inserting a bid to sell.  The first generation.  Anyone who dares to break into Echigo must be prepared for a violent counterattack.  The first thing Mitsui Toraka did when he took office was to implement the Rakuchi Order to completely abolish the privileges of zashou, and obtain a sky-high fine from the temple's chief priest, Toraya Sect Yi, to confiscate all the illicit properties of zasho associated with the Ichigo clan, fundamentally cutting off the  With all the activities of the Ichikai clan in Ueno country, the Ina Tadashi family of Shinano used the same method to loot all the properties of the Ichikai clan. For a time, there were only a few Ichikai clan temples in Ina and Suwa counties in Shinano that survived.  The remaining monasteries and monks were all deprived.  Taking this opportunity, the temple leader Toraya S¨­gai began to implement the monk registration system, bringing the panicked temple communities of Shinano and Ueno into the Kira family's temple system, and using a soft knife to cut off the surplus land in the hands of the temple community little by little.  Come out, and cooperate with measures such as banning burial systems and building public cemeteries, using carrots and sticks to forcefully tear down the little resistance of the temple community.  It must be said that Kurita Kanyasu of Zenkoji Temple is very smart. His family only retains one temple property and a small amount of land at Zenkoji Temple in Kawanakajima.  All the remaining temple property was donated, and he was determined to be a qualified monk instead of a warrior. A warrior had to kowtow before others and risk beheading to earn military merit, which was far less comfortable than the life he had with an iron rice bowl.  Kira Yoshitoki valued this kind of talented person who knew current affairs very highly, and soon issued a new edict. All temples that were willing to actively cooperate with the edict would be given a certain amount of tax exemption and tribute, and the exemption amount would be three-thirds of the overall tax and annual tribute.  It ranges from one to half, and states that monks will never be subject to additional service, ensuring that the monks' extraordinary status will not be oppressed, and allowing wealthy temples to use money to hire nearby town residents or farmers living in the town to farm for the temple.  Naturally, some monasteries that have completely given up their farming rights will not charge a single tax.  As long as you don't cultivate the land, occupy the land, and don't accept the affiliated land, you won't charge any taxes. As long as you want to retain the land and farming rights, you can collect annual tribute and taxes as much as you have land. If you farm with hired workers, you will probably get rid of the annual tribute.  After taxes and employment expenses, there is little income left, and you may even suffer a loss in a disaster year.  Over time, the temple community will naturally give up the extravagant hope of owning land.  If you have that kind of time, you might as well study how to hold Dharma conferences and make money.He used oil money to prohibit collusion between temples and merchants to ensure that the interests of the Kira family in Shinano and Ueno countries were not harmed, and to absorb bankrupt small businessmen to gradually expand their influence.  At the same time, the number and growth of monks are controlled through monk registration, each temple is allowed to have a certain number of temple clans, which are the descendants of the temple abbot or the head of the temple. At the same time, it is stipulated that a certain number of new monks must be recruited to enrich the temple's fresh blood. These various methods  Suppression and restraint suppressed the power of the temple community within the controllable range of the lord.  Thanks to the limited influence of the temple communities of Echigo, Shinano, and Ueno, if it were placed in areas with strong temple communities such as Kinai or Saikuni, it might cause earth-shaking events. Kira Yoshitoki was going to use this  This method was used to subtly weaken this religious group that dominated the development of medieval Japan, and they could not be allowed to exert their influence unscrupulously. This world is ultimately the world of the samurai family.  On July 27, Saito Nobunobu led 5,000 elite troops to Uojin City in Yuezhong. Among these 5,000 troops, there were 2,000 elite "Black Dragoons". However, the flag seal of this iron cavalry was changed from the familiar Jiuyaoba.  The flag was changed to the two flags of the Ashikaga family. Since Masatora Uesugi changed his name and announced that the vassal was from the Ashikaga family, he could no longer be counted as a retainer of the Uesugi family.  It took a lot of effort to travel all the way and it was not easy to get there without knowing where to go. Not to mention how difficult it was to have five thousand people and horses rushing over without stopping. Even a hardened man would be very tired.  I know that the natural danger that parents don¡¯t know and children don¡¯t know is no joke.  He was accidentally swept away by a bad wave and couldn't be saved even if he tried to save him. Saito Asanobu led five thousand soldiers and horses, who traveled day and night and broke through without breaking a single man. This soldier's quality alone was enough to crush most of the daimyo's main force.  Elite.  At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting late. Ueno Iashiro cursed unhappily while holding the empty water bag, then rode forward and said: "General! We are all very tired. Can we stop and rest for a while before proceeding?  Ah!" Seeing the expectant looks of the warriors beside him, Saito shook his head and objected: "Don't take a break and continue to move forward! The speed continues to increase, there is still a long way to go!  If you go too fast and are lagging behind in the end, you will be unqualified. The purpose of this march is to test the legion's combat strength. If you can't bear this little hardship, how can you follow the Lord to fight in all directions in the future?  Yes!" The samurai couldn't help but respond. Everyone knows the truth, but few people can do it. The reason why the elite of the Kira family is called elite is not just because they are full-time soldiers.  They are well-fed, well-trained, well-equipped, and what's more, they have a strong tenacity from the generals to ordinary ashigaru. This tenacity was in the former Echigo Nagao family.  You can also find them on the elites of the Kai Takeda family or the Sagami Hojo family.  Kira Yoshinori once told Saito Nobunobu about the deeds of many famous generals in the Central Plains Dynasty. The creation of a heroic lion requires the shaping of military souls, just like people use benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety, temperance, forgiveness, and bravery as moral templates.  Just as the norms strongly advocate, if one's excellent behavioral qualities are brought to the extreme, they can be believed in as a lifelong belief. The same is true for the establishment of a strong army.  Loyal, brave, law-abiding, persevering and persevering, respecting the righteousness of the Wu family.  With absolute execution ability and a high spirit of sacrifice, this is the elite teacher in Kira Yoshitoki's mind. These frank words deeply shocked Saito Asanobu. For a traditional martial artist in the Warring States Period, these words  These small words and great righteousness are so shocking that they are like Hong Zhong and Da Lu's enlightenment.  It turned out that his more than ten years on the battlefield were wasted in vain. Such complex and profound concepts had never occurred to him. In his eyes, a strong army with good weapons, brave soldiers and the whole army working together with heart can be a strong army. In the past,  In the battle with the Chinese army, it is also a matter of fighting who is more brave and can shock the opponent. If you have the upper hand in morale, you can defeat the enemy.  After receiving Yoshitoki Kira's far-sighted analysis this time, I quickly became clear about my goals and became full of energy.  The setting sun is magnificent and colorful, as if it is embedded with a bright and dazzling golden halo. The beautiful fire clouds are colorful and colorful, just like hundreds of flowers in bloom.  The breathtaking natural beauty makes people linger, and the miraculous craftsmanship of nature once again shows the world this beautiful and colorful wonder.  Outside Uozu City, thousands of people stood in high spirits outside the city gate and waited quietly. After a long time, a familiar white flag on the hill in the distance appeared at the end of the field of vision. The familiar Ashikaga two flags made the samurai  They breathed a sigh of relief. They knew clearly that only their own troops were coming at this time, but they had to confirm it with their own eyes before they could relax.  Two thousand elite cavalry arrived at the head. The Echigo elite cavalry, all in black armor, came galloping in uniform steps. The roar of iron hoofs on the ground suddenly made Shiina Yasuin change his face, and he turned back to glance at  The Chinese people including Toi Masashige and others opened their eyes wide as if to see thisThe scene of ?? came into mind, and Shiina Yasuyin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.  The charge accelerated, slowed down, and finally came to a standstill. Two thousand cavalrymen completed a standard formation assault exercise at a distance of five kilometres. At the same time, they accelerated to maximum speed and then slowed down to move at a constant speed. Finally, they decelerated to a stop at the same moment.  From the beginning to the end, no knight made any mistakes, and the largest error between lines was only half a horse's length. This level of training was so terrifying that even Yamamoto Tokiyuki was amazed by it.  "Why did Echigo organize such a big battle? These are two thousand black dragoons! These two thousand black dragoons will kill us Yue Chinese as easily as they kill chickens and dogs! In the future, we Yue Chinese will still have  Is there a way to survive? Are we going to force our Shiina family to death?" Shiina Yasuyin felt bitter in his mouth. Although he knew in advance that such an elite force was coming, when he saw the powerful execution ability of the Black Dragon Cavalry with his own eyes,  At this time, the frustration and discouragement in his heart were self-evident. The Vietnamese and Chinese people beside him did not have the same psychological burden as him, and they wholeheartedly admired this invincible army.  The proud Black Dragoons calmly accepted the applause and praise of thousands of people. Their pride lay not in underestimating the enemy but in their absolute confidence in themselves.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki and Saito Asanobu greeted each other, then patted him on the shoulder very happily and said: "Shimono Mamoru, these two thousand black dragoons have been trained very well! The Lord is right, complete and rigorous training can only be achieved early."  Create a bunch of outstanding soldiers. Only those who have experienced raw silk fighting can become elites! These two thousand black dragon cavalry are truly elite troops that can sweep across the northern continent!  Sweep back to Tonami County! Does Sado Morden have other ideas?" Saito Asanobu asked suspiciously.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile: "The Lord's order is indeed true. We only need to drive away the Echichu Ichikui, but we must continue to push forward in the future, annihilate the Ichikui in Tonami County, invade Kaga Country and sweep away  I have always been admonished. We, the ministers, should prepare for the rainy day. When the Lord needs our actions, we do not need to spend time redoing plans and flight preparations. We only need to attack with the force of thunder to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and reduce losses.  Striving for complete victory under the premise of doing so is the military strategy of a great general. " "Thank you Sado-don for your timely advice. I understand!" Saito nodded to express his understanding. He was very clear about what he was seeing.  This one-eyed lame old man is the master of military strategy who has trained several generals, including Yoshitoki Kira. This old man is not only proficient in military strategy, but also has very rich experience in strategy. Many unexplained truths often only require him.  He can suddenly enlighten himself with just one suggestion. He is definitely a samurai worthy of respect.  The army entered the city and held a feast to welcome the wind and wash away the dust. That night, Tokiyuki Yamamoto brought his land, Yumitsu Numata.  Together with Kakizaki Keie, Saito Asanobu, Yasuda Keigen, Yoshie Keizi and others, they discussed the matter of sending troops to Vietnam. They had 20,000 troops in hand, and after receiving them, there were still 3,000 people from various counties in Vietnam.  The coalition forces serve as a reserve. Among the warriors present, there is no shortage of generals, fierce generals, and wise generals. Moreover, all of them are veterans who have experienced countless battles. They are rich in experience and have their own military strategy expertise.  Nice fit.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki serves as the flag-bearer of the Vietnam-China Strategy, the general-general of the Vietnam-China Army, his deputy general is Kakizaki Keie, and the vanguard general Saito Nobunobu.  The left-wing general Yasuda Keigen, the right-wing general Yoshie Keizi, and Shiina Yasuin got their wish to serve as the rear line, and Numata Yumitsu served as the army to coordinate military affairs. Yamamoto Tokiyuki was very satisfied with this combination and said he was confident that he would regain the three counties within the year.  All the generals expressed their high morale and wanted to fight with him.  Ten days later, on a clear morning, the 20,000-strong Yue-Chong Army Corps marched out. Officials from all the Yue-Chong clans gathered to defend the city and asked for help from the main land of Tonami County. Shengxing Temple Yuncheng and Zuiquan Temple Yongxiu did not expect it at all.  They would rush over so quickly, and the recruitment of troops in a panic was already far too late.  It is said that at the usual speed of sending troops, it would take a month or two to reach Yuezhong. If we send troops from Yuezhong, it will be after the autumn harvest. Therefore, the two old monks are not worried about Echigo at all.  I thought they wanted to start a public opinion war or something like that. As for the disciples of the Ichigo sect in Shinano and Ueno Province, what did they have to do with them?  If there is a problem, Chaoshengji Mikaru will have a headache, and it is not their turn to worry about it.  The two old monks couldn't understand the speed of Echigo's troop dispatch. They thought that when Nagao defeated the god Ho Keizong for Kage, he dispatched troops from June to August and did not arrive at the battlefield in central Vietnam. Could it be that Echigo's military strength has grown wings?  Is it possible to fly through the natural dangers that one does not know oneself and one does not know oneself?  It was understandable that they couldn't figure it out. Even if he tried hard, he still didn't know what kind of army was on the opposite side.  On August 12, Horie Castle deceived the city gates to open to attract the army. Later, Gongzhuang Castle, Kode Castle, and Buddha Temple Castle all left the city and surrendered. Onino Castle Kamho Keisaburo's cage failed and committed suicide in the castle tower.  , Omura Castle was captured by Ueno Ienari, Shinjo Castle was captured by Kusaka Nagami, and half of Shinkawa was captured in the blink of an eye.The county was captured by the Viet Chong Army, and Tonami County didn't even react at all as it watched the army push to the east bank of the Jintsu River.  Seeing that the enemy army has arrived in front of his house, the lord of Toyama City Jinbao Yunshui Haru was furious, but the rescue of Jinbao Choji was delayed. He knew that his brother was probably afraid of Kira's army, and he probably wanted to do it.  Not to mention the bitterness in my heart as the abandoned chess piece.  "I originally thought that this Toyama Castle is the place with the best terrain and the most convenient transportation in the middle of Vietnam, but I didn't expect that this is also the highest priority achievement goal. I regret that I didn't let Toyama Castle in the first place! If I let him take this city, this time  It won¡¯t be our family that faces the Kira family¡¯s army!¡± Jinbo Ujiharu was scared, but Jinbo Nagasaki was busy recruiting soldiers in a panic. He had been worried when he heard that Echigo was coming to attack Etchu Ichikui!  Whether they could withstand the fierce revenge of Echigo, they found Shengxingji Yuncheng and Zuisenji Yongxiu and hoped that they would recruit an army quickly and build defense facilities to resist Echigo's invasion.  As a result, Shengxing Temple Yun Cheng almost spat at him as soon as he finished speaking. She ridiculed him for being timid and fearful, which made him so angry that he wanted to kill this hateful old monk, but he looked smaller than him.  A large piece of Zen staff as thick as a baby's arm was really not something that his katana could compete with. Finally, he rationally gave up the idea of ??using force and left in dismay.  Nowadays, the consequences of not recruiting military service in advance are obvious. Normal recruitment of military service takes at least two or three months. For inefficient lords, it may take half a year. For example, the Hojo family, which has a higher degree of daimyoization in the Warring States Period, can be recruited in the second year of the war.  The emergency mobilization was completed within ten days, giving him one and a half months to prepare for the war. This speed was almost twice as fast as that of all daimyo in the modern era.  Seeing that the military service was not fully recruited at the moment, Jinbo Nagasaki sent his own troops as prisoners, so he simply wrote a letter to his younger brother Ujiharu Jinbo, telling him that if he could abide by the rules, he should come to Masuyama Castle and seek refuge with him.  At least his brother won't short-change his food and clothing expenses.  (To be continued.
