Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the spring of March, the ice and snow melt. As the sun moves north and the warm sunshine falls on Dewa Country, the spring water of Mogami River surges and enters the small flood season. Farmers in Dewa Country are busy cultivating the land and sowing seeds. For example, in Dewa Country, only one season of rice can be planted a year.  The latitude is too high, the weather is too cold, and the lack of sunshine still has a great impact. Every autumn harvest has to be done to dry the grain before it snows and put it in the barn. Sometimes if you are unlucky and encounter wind and snow, it will be terrible.  Growing food in the Northeast is like fighting. Farmers spend a long winter hiding in thatched houses, looking forward to more good weather when spring comes and the ice and snow will melt as soon as possible, so that they can seize the world's best rice.  They work hard, but fortunately they still have the Mogami River. The melted snow water soaks into the land, and a small amount flows into the river to nourish the water and soil along the bank.  Yoshitsune of Dabaoji Temple in Qingshui City was upset. He had conquered the Qingshui clan's territory at the end of last autumn. As a newly transferred lord, he had to get familiar with a lot of government affairs. The Kira family's military strength made it easy to kill people, but after killing them, they failed.  Leaving him to deal with this mess made him unable to sleep well for many nights.  What's worse is yet to come. Just in time for the heavy snowfall in winter, when the mountains are closed, news suddenly spreads in the Qingshui area that several members of the Qingshui clan are raising a rebellion on behalf of the remnant party. This can make Dabao Temple Yi Zeng very worried.  , the snow outside was so cold that it was almost up to the knees. A group of lonely villains were about to rebel at this time. Should he, the lord, go and crusade?  If he didn't go on a crusade, he would always worry that the new dependents in the territory would have similar thoughts. But if he really sent troops to crusade, he would have to face the violent snowstorm outside, and send troops through the thick snow in the winter when water turns to ice.  Punishing the traitors was simply asking for death. Not to mention that the family members would not agree, even the soldiers below would not go with him, if he really made this choice.  Probably the family members thought that the head of the family governor had been burned out.  He thought about it but couldn't find a good solution. At this moment, his sister suddenly came back to visit relatives. Naturally, he was very happy that his sister came back suddenly after not seeing him for several years. However, his sister told her husband Onodera Kagemichi's warning.  It will explode completely after the spring comes.  He also stated that he would never help.  Dabaoji Yoshizo was confused for a moment, and asked his brother-in-law how he got the news, but he learned from him that Mogami Yoshimori was behind it, and most of the Dewa people, including Tendo Yorisada, supported him unanimously. Onodera Kagemichi was also determined to do it at this time.  He made a supportive decision and sent his wife back home to visit relatives just to help him out of being a relative for many years.  I heard that my brother-in-law and powerful ally also abandoned me at this time.  Dabaoji Yoshizo was in a really bad mood. On the contrary, his sister persuaded him to calm down and told him that this alliance was a last resort. The people of Dewa Country had always made the decision. Everyone called  Calls have never broken this tacit understanding.  But since Dabaoji Yoshizou invited reinforcements from Echigo to turn the situation around, Uesugi Masatora's 15,000 troops brutally killed the Shimizu Yoshiko clan.  He swept across the Shimizu clan's old territory with lightning speed, and transferred Dabaoji Yoshizou to the Shimizu old territory. This was obviously to pit the Dabaoji clan against the people of Dewa country, and to push Dabaoji Yoshizou to the front line of the Dewa country's confrontation. Onodera  Keidao is now very suspicious of Dabaoji Yoshizo's intentions and whether he is willing to be Echigo's lackey.  Hearing his sister question him so unceremoniously, Dabaoji Yizen immediately understood what was going on.  It turns out that he went to the hospital because of his illness, but he violated the tacit understanding of the people of Dewa. He secretly cursed these bastard people for being hypocritical. They were always against him and wanted to annex him. He had never seen them so polite before. Now he has to treat him because he invited reinforcements.  Take action.  After Onodera Kagemichi said this, he also knew that he had no way out. There were only two options in front of him. He was willing to be Echigo's lackey, or he joined their Deyu Alliance to fight against Echigo.  Dragon, how can this decision be so easy? Dabaoji Yoshizou is not a fool. He obviously sees how powerful Uesugi Masatora is and wants to go against him. It is simply seeking death.  Not to mention that the original territory of the Daihoji family west of Mount Haguro has been completely annexed by Echigo.  All the noble servants loyal to the Dabaoji family were packed up and sent to Qingshui Territory. The remaining domestic servants were basically bribed by the Kira family's silver bullet offensive. The entire Haguro Mountain was exposed to the surveillance of the Kira army. If Dabaoji Yoshizou chooses this  If he rebels, not only will he not be able to hurt the four thousand Kira troops next to Sakata Port.  The Kira army will easily capture Mount Haguro.  Without the cover of Mount Haguro, the old territory of Dabaoji Temple in the south will also fall into the hands of the Kira Army. He is not a fool, how could he fall into such evil traps? In comparison, he might as well join the Kira family and become a loyal minister. With that  The methods of the Zhen Fu Gong will never treat them badly, the Dabao Temple clan.  Seeing that her brother gradually calmed down from panic, and looked at her with a bit of teasing, her mood immediately dropped a lot, knowing this little bargaining chip? It was not enough to make his brother submit. He gritted his teeth and took out the trump card they had prepared, and whispered: "Brother, you probably don't know yet! Dewa Country is planning a large-scale attack against my brother and Shonai. Does your brother know that the participants include Mogami of Yamagata Castle?  Mogami Hachio, the Date family of Yonezawa City, our Onodera family, and the Minato Anton family further north also expressed their support! "What! Are you saying that all the Dewa people are uniting to attack my territory?"  Isn't the change normal? As long as we and the samurai can keep their territory, it should be fine!" Dabaoji Yimasu was very panicked and did not expect that they would react so violently.  "Brother, what are you thinking about? The first thing the Kira Army did when they invaded Dewa Country was to massacre the Shimizu clan. This has never happened in hundreds of years! The cruelty and tyranny of the Kira Army far exceeded the imagination of the people of Dewa Country like us.  It was after seeing what they did that my husband decided to break up with Echigo. For this reason, he even wanted to fight with his brother to drive them away!" Dabaoji Yi Zeng was so angry that he shouted loudly: "But how can you drive them away!  Are you crazy to resist even though you have seen how powerful Uesugi Danmasa is! Do you want to be exterminated like that idiot Shimizu Yoshigao?" "Brother, please calm down! Please read this letter from my husband.  I understand!" Mrs. Dabaoji took out the letter that had been hidden for a long time and handed it to her brother. This was her last resort to make this happen.  Dabao Temple Yizeng Xinxin almost fainted from anger when he saw it. His good brother-in-law attached a copy of the Mogami document signed and sealed in this letter. It was obvious that it was a copied copy.  This time the anti-Echigo alliance brought together all the national lords of the entire Dewa Kingdom, and targeted the Kira Army and his retainer Ohoji Yoshimasu. Shimizu Ichiku will launch at the same time. At that time, the internal and external forces will cooperate to seize the Shimizu territory, and then join forces to attack Shonai Common.  Divide this fat.  At the same time, this covenant also has an important message.  For the first time, regulations were formally written to prohibit other countries from intervening in Dewa affairs. If there is an attack by a powerful external force, an offensive and defensive alliance must be formed to jointly deal with the powerful enemy. A large number of names of gods are also written on it to make oaths, which is quite a bit of a blood-based alliance.  It seems self-evident to whom this regulation is directed.  In the attached letter, Onodera Kagemichi told him that there was no need to be anxious about which side to choose.  The Idewa people have no intention of forcing him to betray the powerful Echigo. They only need him to stay in Qingshui Castle after Qingmizu Ichikui makes a fuss and ask for help from the Kira army in Shonai. The Japanese army will take the opportunity to ambush in Qingshui territory.  Waiting for the opportunity to give Kira's army a head-on attack, and then seize the opportunity to seize Mipo Castle and control the village. At that time, Daihoji Yoshizog can take advantage of the situation and make a posture of being forced to surrender.  Onodera Kedokai will guarantee with their lives that the family fortune of Daihoji Yoshizo will not be taken away.  "Do you think I'm a fool? You just want to lure me into a trap with just one letter! In the end, my territory was taken away by you! Don't even think about it! Huh!" "Brother, please think about it again!" Mrs. Dabao Temple knew better.  He hurriedly left when he had any results. Although Dabaoji Yizen did not agree to the proposal, he had no obvious intention to break up with him. He just folded the letter and put it away in a hurry, taking it out and reading it several times every day.  This is half of the winter, until early spring comes and the rivers thaw, and Dewa Country enters the charming season of spring when flowers bloom and everything revives.  As expected, Qingshui Yikui's noisy actions are getting bigger and bigger. Dabaoji Yizo has received more and more letters asking for help. Many originally neutral Chinese people are also inciting them. Even the retainers under the Dabaoji family have become unstable.  sign.  Dabaoji Yoshizo was really panicked now. He could not worry about Shimizu Ikaku or refuse Onodera Kagemichi's invitation, but he had to consider the wishes of the Dabaoji retainers group, so he urgently convened the genealogical retainers group to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting  The family members of the Gendai family complained that the Kira family was too harsh on them. From the feng shui treasure land in the village to the quiet Qingshui collar, life was not as smooth as before.  Everyone still misses the previous territory.  Dabao Temple Yi Zeng also looked at all the generations with a sad face, and sighed: "I understand what you mean, why don't we miss our previous territory? The water and soil in the village are more fertile than here, and Weipu City is hundreds of times better than this clear water. But.  What else can we do if we have already transferred it?" Saragoshi Wei, the leader of the Saragoshi clan of Dabao Temple Yizo, said: "There is another way to regain the village and take back the territory that belongs to us!" "How can this be done?  But it was occupied by the Kira family." Dabaoji Yoshizou did not make any excuses in front of the family members. Anyway, he himself knew the situation of his family very well.  The Lord of Kannonji Castle came to Tsujihide and said with a smile: "This is true. Although we have surrendered to the Kira family, it is only a temporary move. Sooner or later, we will have to establish our own business. If the Kira family treats us better, we will postpone it.  A few years, almost a few years ahead of schedule. Anyway, we have to break away. Since the Kira family is not good to us,"Why can't we raise the flag of rebellion now?"  "    "not good!  very bad!  If the Kira family's army comes to encircle and suppress us, won't my family and you all end up with the same fate as Shimizu Yoshitaka?  very bad!  "Dabao Temple Yi Zengda shook his head. He would not be so stupid to do such a thing. After a while, he came back to his senses. He looked at the family members with burning eyes and said angrily: "I also want to know why you are doing this today.  Anjing, it turns out that you have been colluding with the Mogami family and the Onodera family for a long time. How many benefits did they give you to persuade me?  How much profit will be promised to you afterward?  Explain everything to me clearly!  ¡± The family members of the family were shocked by the acuity of the family governor. They did not expect that he could find the flaw so quickly. The atmosphere in the evaluation room was awkward for a while. Many people shrank their heads and did not dare to look up, for fear that Dabao Temple Yi Zeng would notice him.  This person, but everyone did not speak, which made Dabao Temple even more tense. With a wave of his sleeves, Abao Neng saw that the situation was not good and said quickly: "Lord, stay here!"  I have something to say!  Now it is a foregone conclusion that the army of Dewa Kingdom will all come together. There are 12,000 troops in total. The Dabaoji family and I are completely unable to withstand such an army. If we don't make a decision at this time, we will really be doomed.  !  " "Even if my family is deprived of its foundation, it is better to be able to seek refuge with the town government and revive it than you guys who want to plot against me!  Look what you have done!  Colliding with other martial arts families to plan our own family, are you planning to take this opportunity to confine our family and set up a puppet to control my Dabaoji family?  talk!  Why don't you say anything!  "What Dabaoji Yoshitsune said was heart-wrenching. How dare they, the family members of the generation, dare to deal with it? They all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Governor Abe Yoshiki has no way out now, so he can only grit his teeth and say: "Actually, it's not the case.  Let the lord be the first to raise the flag of rebellion. If one side of the subordinates only needs the lord to invite support and retreat with them into the village in defeat, they can seize the city. At that time, if they find an opportunity to seize the city, they can regain the dominance of the village.  " Dabao Temple Yi Zeng laughed angrily, shook his head and said: "If I listen to your words, I will die without a burial place!  How capable are those people from Dewa country to kill my family!  Retreating to Miura City and waiting for an opportunity to seize the city is a dead end. Do you think the people of Dewa can stop the army of Lord Jinfu, the command of Danmasa Uesugi, and the bravery of that bastard Shigenaga Honjo?  Looking at the whole of Ideha, there are almost no people who can stand up to the three thousand troops of Honjo Shigenaga. The only ones who can barely fight are the elites of Date, Mogami, Tendo, and Onodera!  Don't forget that the Duke of Zhenfu has tens of thousands of these powerful troops. They have experienced the combined battles of Takeda, Hojo, and the Ichigo clan, and they are the best elites in the world. How can our family resist when the time comes?  One more thing, don't forget that Sakata Port is within the sphere of influence of the Kira Navy. Come to think of it, Date, Mogami, Onodera and others can leave by then, and our family will betray the Kira family again.  The hatred that seizes Shouchi will not be taken in by any of them. This family will be the first to die under the Kira family's soldiers!  Even if the family chooses to survive and escape to a remote territory north of Mutsu, they will inevitably lose the last chance to repeat the old territory!  I wonder if you will still follow my family and serve as ministers of the subjugation of the country?  You will definitely kneel down in front of Kirajun and surrender immediately!  "(To be continued.
