    The Shinano-Kiso clan is different from the Echizen Asakura clan. The Asakura clan relied on wise family governors and a united clan to establish a strong military exploit, and gradually conquered the territory of the Echizen country and became a new generation of famous samurai families. However, the Shinano-Kiso clan  The clan has no glorious record at all. Even if he followed Ashikaga Takauji and raised an army two hundred years ago, it was just a matter of trying to maintain his abilities.  This clan has done almost nothing in the more than two hundred years since the early days of Muromachi. They participated in the Onin Rebellion just to make trouble. They basically watched the civil strife at Shinano Junior High School and never intervened. This is the Takato of the Suwa clan in Ina County.  The Matsuo and Ogasawara clans of the Fujizawa clan and the Ogasawara clan also basically chose a neutral and hands-off attitude in their internal conflicts.  For so many years, it was nothing more than playing house safely in Kiso Valley. When he was in the mood, the lord might take a group of retainers to go eagle hunting, or take samurai to drive away the mountain people running around in the mountains, or resell the people in the mountains.  The wood was exchanged for a small amount of money, and the occasional disputes with the Hida Kingdom and the Ogasawara Clan were calculated based on ten years.  Every ten or eight years there are small conflicts involving dozens or hundreds of people. The biggest one is to take more than a thousand people to fight a light-intensity battle that damages dozens of people. The one with the greatest impact may be the first one.  Kiso Yoshimoto, who changed his official character to "Yi", was seriously injured and died while resisting the attack of Miki Shigeyori, who had not yet unified Minami Hida. The rest of the time, fighting in joint battles was at most a fun way to change his life.  Takigawa Tokimasu, who was attending the meeting of ministers for the first time, had not dared to speak. Now seeing that all the samurai were deep in thought and had no intention of speaking, he raised his right hand high and asked in a very exaggerated tone: "My lord,  I have a question, why didn¡¯t the people of the country realize that the Kiso clan was falsely claimed? Are the people so stupid that they didn¡¯t realize that the lord had changed his name to Miao when he woke up? "Nangang Toutofang shook his head with a smile.  Secretly, this question is a bit amateurish.  However, he still answered patiently: "Presumably, someone who pretends to be a famous family must make a series of preliminary preparations! It is impossible to pretend to be someone who is exposed today and be exposed tomorrow. For example, during the time of Miki Yoshiyori's father, Miki Naoyori, Hida Province's sister's sister, the Koji family  It has completely declined. When Naoyori Miki was the governor of the family, he began to plan the plan to impersonate his sister. After decades of planning, he gradually completed the control of Minamida and succeeded his sister who had no direct heir.  The Koji family, the Kiso family must have made preparations for a long time before taking over!" "Since the people of Shinano are not stupid or stupid, not only have a sound IQ, but also have great monkey spirit, how can they let a family with unknown origins go unchecked?  Suddenly he assumed the name of the Kiso clan.  This must have been paved by one or even several generations. Perhaps not long after the death of Kiso Yoshimune in the Kamakura period, when Numata Iyomori's family moved to Kiso Valley as the lord, he might have been secretly usurping the family name.  preliminary preparation.  After waves of chaos in the Kamakura period, the samurai family who knew about it either withered or died out and could not pose a threat to their family. The only impact may be on the Numata clan far away in Ueno Country. As long as this family can be settled, the whole world will be  No one else will know that such an imposter exists.  It is a pity that after many years of planning, it has encountered the embarrassment of a hundred secrets and a few gaps. The calligraphy left in the Kiso Valley over the past few hundred years has been covered up. Even if Kiso Yoshimasa can come up with tricks to fool the shogunate, the Shinano guardian and the local lords and citizens.  That theory said that this was a cover-up done by their ancestors to deceive others.  But the letter left by Numata Youtai¡¯s family was irrefutable evidence. He could not explain why his ancestor would give such a strange letter to the Numata family.  Even if he can still deny that this is a forged document, the free supply of money and food for more than 40 years cannot be fake.  The long journey from Minami-Shinano to Nishi-Ueno requires many customs offices to notify the Shinano Guardian Ogasawara family in advance.  No matter what name their family used to send it to the Ueno-Numata family, many relevant documents would be left behind. If it continued like this year after year for more than 40 years, and then suddenly found a reason to interrupt it, it would also leave many traces. These traces  It may be spread over most of Shinano and half of Ueno country, and it is definitely not something that the Kiso family has the ability to erase.  Sanada Yukitaka listened quietly to the speeches of the samurai, and then thought for a while and said: "His Majesty K¨­kata's judgment is very accurate. Kiso Yoshimasa will definitely rebel, but I feel that Kiso Yoshimasa or his reclusive father Kiso  Yoshiyasu will take action, and may even do very bad things to my family, the Ashikaga family." Kira Yoshitoki also vaguely realized that it was not that simple, but he didn't think clearly about the reason for a while, and he happened to touch it.  When I had an idea, I heard Yukitaka Sanada's speech. He immediately sat up straight and said solemnly: "Please tell me about the main hall!" "Yes! I believe that the Kiso family will never simply rebel. They will not only rebel but also take a tough stance.  When dealing with my superior Ashikaga family, I must act as if I am respected by them.The weak attitude of the family's merciless aggression made the world mistakenly believe that it was the Ashikaga family who was the superior of the family who was plotting to frame the Kiso family. The original intention was that His Highness K¨­kata wanted to destroy their clan and seize their land.  By that time, His Highness Minakata will definitely be unable to escape the suspicion. Whether it is the mountains of irrefutable evidence of Numata Uenosuke Soyasu or the verbal records of Ogasawara Tosukisai, they will all be described by those who are interested as His Majesty's means of preparing to deal with the Kiso family in advance.  , since it is a means, it does not matter whether it is true or false. Even if it is true, it can be treated as false.  His Highness Kikata only needs to make a gesture of punishing the Kiso family, and he will be regarded as another ruthless persecution of the Togoku samurai family by the cruel Ashikaga family in the name of the shogunate's laws, but this time the target of the persecution is changed to the name of Kawachi Genji.  The Kiso clan of the clan, combined with the behavior of punishing the Miki clan, may lead to many very bad conclusions.  " Sanada Yukitaka's voice was deep, powerful, and spoke slowly and firmly. When it fell into Kiragi's ears, it was like a sledgehammer ringing a bell next to his ears. The rumbling sound filled his ears and shook his face.  Stop, the bat fan he was holding tightly in his hand came out without realizing it, his deep voice roared like a beast, at this moment he was really angry, "I will kill this thief!"  If this thief is not dead, I will feel uneasy!  Kira Yoshitoshi gave an order with an angry roar: "Order Ogasawara Shinano to lead three thousand troops to set off from Takato Castle, and then order Yasuda Administrative Department Shaofu to lead three thousand troops to set off from Sakuradou Castle."  The two prefectures attacked Kiso Valley Fukushima Castle from both east and west directions.  The local people in Kiso Valley were ordered to leave the Kiso clan and join the crusade to fight together.  Then he ordered the genealogy of the Kiso family to be passed down to the public, but if there were those who repented and wished to be pioneers, they could be stopped by their abilities.  " "Sometimes it is the right choice to give up appeasement. Since we are going to send troops, we have to consider an issue.  Uesugi Terutora, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let go of the rosary beads in his hand and said slowly: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. So, please tell me, His Highness, under what name should our army send troops?"  " "It doesn't seem appropriate to use the name of the Kiso family as a false claim" Kira Yoshi also realized that he had not thought about this problem. He couldn't find a good name to attack a foreigner who was already subordinate to him. He couldn't justify it.  He is also not good at concocting such high-end and unscrupulous habits. For a moment, he was a little stuck and didn't know how to plan the troops. Honda Tokimasa suddenly had an idea and said: "Aren't these Miyoshi family want to contact the Kanto Samurai family to deal with my Kira family?  How about giving the Kiso family Miyoshi Nagakei who colluded with the anti-Echigo family and teamed up with Furukawa to plan the treasonous act against Kira?  The Kiso family will basically join this alliance once they rebel, so this can't be considered a frame-up!  " "Then let's attack Kiso Yoshimasa in this name!  Strive for a quick victory and don¡¯t delay it until the autumn harvest!  The direct descendants of the Kiso clan must be exterminated, and those who resist will be captured as usual and punished with exile!  "Yoshitoki Kira waved his hand and made the decision immediately. Under Kira Yoshitoki's strict order, the entire Kira family was like a huge machine running at high speed. In just a few days, the matter was processed through multiple channels.  This edict was conveyed to all directions. After receiving the news, Ogasawara Nagatoki, who was in charge of Takato Castle, properly placed two thousand defenders. He personally led three thousand troops out of Takato Castle and headed straight for Kiso Valley. Along the way, there were people who came after hearing the news.  The troops from the upper and lower Ina counties quickly swelled to more than 5,000 people. On the other side, Yasuda Nagahide's movement speed was not slow at all, and he obtained the information passed by the Kira navy upstream through the Miyagawa River.  This edict was issued slightly earlier than Ogasawara Nagatoki, leaving a thousand Yuechu troops to be guarded by the veteran Yoshie Munanobu at Sakurad¨­ Castle. He personally led a thousand troops and recruited two thousand Hida troops to coordinate the battle.  Kanizaka Nagami was the vanguard to attack Minamishinano Kiso Valley. The total force of the two-pronged attack reached more than 8,000 men. When the two armies poured into Kiso Valley with frightening power.  , the Minami Shinano people near Kiso Valley were shocked. They completely did not understand how His Highness the Lord of Kasugayama Castle could turn against the Kiso family and attack the Kiso family. They still remembered that their lord Kiso Yoshimasa went to Kasuga in person half a year ago.  Yamashiro was praised by the town magistrate, why did the situation suddenly change like this overnight? The people of Kiso Valley were confused and angry, but they really couldn't muster the courage to resist in the face of the powerful Kira army, so the city resisted.  The process of surrendering to the city ended up becoming a prisoner in a confused manner. During this process, Kiso Yoshimasa's reaction was slow and he did not make a better response, so he was so easily surrounded by Ogasawara Nagatoki.  After joining forces with Yasuda Nagahide, they did not waste any time. The two sides divided the work and cooperated to encircle the city and suppress the remnants of the Kiso clan. Even the two of them did not expect that the crusade against Kiso Valley would be unexpectedly smooth. In other words, Kiso Yoshimasa did not expect Kira at all.  The family association was so fast and ruthless that they were surrounded by six thousand troops swarming from both sides before they even prepared for the rebellion. It took only half a month from the time the troops were dispatched to the time when Kiso Fukushima Castle was surrounded.Many branch cities in the city also opened fire one after another during the half-month siege. Even a few retainers who held on were quickly captured and their families were killed. The Ashikaga family announced a series of reports about Kiso Yoshimasa's collusion with Miyoshi Nagakei.  With the public evidence, the Kiso family's last chance of resistance was completely wiped out.  This series of evidence is like ringing the death knell for the destruction of the Kiso family. Many members of the Kiso family are in panic and shaken. These members of the family have no idea why the governor wants to resist the Kira family, let alone Miyoshi.  How many benefits did Changqing give to the governor, so much so that he made a desperate choice that was almost crazy and rebellious?  Before the arrival of the Kamizushi Ashikaga Clan's crusade, Kiso Yoshimasa's various military deployments in Kiso Fukushima Castle and even the entire Kiso Valley could not hide the vigilance of those who were interested, not to mention that the Kiso family's lineage retainers were all powerful locals.  The Wu family was well aware of the unusual behavior their governor had done under their noses.  Even if Kiso Yoshimasa found various reasons and explanations, he could not hide the meaning behind this unusual military adjustment. What was even worse was that the military deployment was not long before the aggressive crusade came.  This gave the Kiso family members every reason to believe that their lord was making some treacherous secret plans. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? .  But he just focused on the Kiso clan who had just made military changes.  And the time difference was only a few days, which made many samurai couldn't help but wonder. Maybe Kiso Yoshimasa found out that the matter was exposed and hurriedly prepared to launch a rebellion. However, he was still a step behind and was blocked by the crusade at the door of his house.  Most of the lords in the Kiso Valley are retainers who have followed the Kiso clan for nearly a hundred years. They consider themselves to be the descendants of the Kiso clan. But now that they have encountered such a big thing as rebellion, the family governor Kiso Yoshimasa even shouted  They came to discuss it without even thinking about it, which made them feel that the governor did not trust them at all. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of trust, this is a huge blow to many samurai who consider themselves loyal ministers and good generals.  The dissolution of their self-confidence caused them to have complex emotions of resentment and disgust. The younger and more radical Hodaizu betrayed the Kiso clan without hesitation and joined the Kira Crusade Army to fight against their former masters. Although the older samurai did not betray  The main family, but they also gave up the plan of continuing to get close to Kiso Yoshimasa.  However, Kiso Yoshimasa was still unable to argue. He didn't know how to explain to the Genedai retainer in order to clear away his suspicions. He couldn't tell the Genedai retainer that he wanted to rebel because his family background was exposed. He was worried that things would be exposed, so  He would rather strike first to raise a flag of rebellion and throw dirty water on the Ashikaga family.  This kind of behavior is so despicable and completely different from the image of a famous family that the Kiso family has advertised for many years. Moreover, the family members who inherited the family did not know that the Kiso Yoshimasa family was a fake Kawachi Genji family. After his explanation, they exposed themselves.  His ugliness lets everyone know that he is a fake.  On the contrary, it will make the clan retainers even less willing to fight for this fake family, and they will die faster and more miserably.  Without explanation, it is unclear why Kiso Yoshimasa was punished.  He was even more unable to explain the difference between making so many military deployments and preparing for rebellion. Kiso Yoshimasa originally planned to wait for the Ashikaga family to send officials to investigate the matter of pretending to be the leader, and then he would cause another incident, which would arouse the hatred of the retainers. First of all,  Stand on the moral high ground and establish your identity as a victim, so that you can rebel without having to bear a bad reputation in the future.  But now things have turned into something else. Kira Yoshitsune had clearly promised to send a group of followers to investigate, but suddenly there was no news. After waiting for half a month, eight thousand crusade troops came to the door.  There was no mention of the drama of exposing the false leader in Kasugayama Castle. Kiso Yoshimasa couldn't be stupid enough to tell the family retainer at this time that his family was actually exposed at the assessment meeting of Kasugayama Castle half a month ago.  Kiso Yoshimasa soon discovered that he had been tricked by him. He never expected that the Kira family would change their name and attack him directly. The speed and cruelty of the attack completely exceeded his imagination. He and his father Kiso Yoshiyasu planned for many days to come up with it.  The tragic drama of rebellion was already messed up before it could even begin.  Regardless of how the people of Minami-Shinano view Kiso Yoshimasa's rebellion, and there is no need to delve into the reasons why Kiso Yoshimasa offended His Highness K¨­kata of Kasugayama Castle, the people of Minami-Shinano now understand that the Kiso family is completely hopeless.  Whether in compliance with the general trend or to add insult to injury, more and more people from Minami Shinano are joining the crusade. More than 10,000 troops have gathered outside Kiso Fukushima City.  Among these tens of thousands of troops are the relatives and close friends of Kiso Yoshimasa in the past, the family members who have been his confidants for many years, and the young samurai seedlings that he is optimistic about. Now they are all standing on the opposite side of the Kiso family and clamoring for Kiso Yoshimasa.  Chang quickly opened the city and surrendered. The so-called wall fell, everyone broke the drum, and thousands of people beat it. Thousands of people died without illness. This is probably the situation.  Kiso Valley is a long and narrow roadThe valley is surrounded by mountains. To the west is Mount Ontake, which stands among the clouds and mist. The Tamataki River to the southwest connects to Lake Ontake, the largest lake in the territory. The Komagatake Mountains to the southeast are also towering into the clouds. Several mountain roads around are covered by the conquering army.  Completely blocked and cut off, the Kiso family had almost no possibility of escaping.  In the castle tower of Kiso Fukushima Castle, the young governor Kiso Yoshimasa was roaring angrily. Ever since he learned that the Kira army had invaded Kiso Valley with all its strength, he had never been in a good mood. His eyes were red and swollen.  Two red lanterns, with dull faces and obvious dark circles at the corners of their eyes, it was obvious that they had not slept for several days.  At this time, not many of the family retainers in Kiso Fukushima Castle were left.  No matter how hard the Kiso family tried, they could no longer conceal the critical situation of overall disadvantage.  Today, there are less than two thousand troops remaining in Kiso Valley.  Ninety percent of them were concentrated in Kiso Fukushima Castle to fight against the trapped beasts. The remaining family members were so worried that they could not hide their pessimism.  As one of the few staunch supporters of the Kiso family, Mikawa Moriyoshi Yamamura said worriedly: "The town master would actually attack us! This is completely inconsistent with the usual rules! According to common sense, we should also question  Let¡¯s make a decision again, why did you act so suddenly without giving us a chance to argue?¡± Uematsu Yoshitoyo, who had just returned home from Kasugayama Castle, obviously had more hatred and anger to vent, and said angrily: ¡°My child obviously  I remember that the Lord of the Town comforted my Kiso family, saying that he must seek justice for us, but he didn't expect that he would take action against my Kiso family before the words were heard! This Lord of the Town No!  He's also a capricious villain!" Chimura Sobu-suke said: "How did Yoshitoki Kira become aware of our Kiso family's actions? Our actions are so secret that most of us don't even know about them.  It¡¯s hard to believe that the Kira ninjas could find out such secret information. It would be really terrible!¡± Baba Shoji of the Kiso clan shouted: ¡°We can¡¯t just sit back and wait, we must take action!  There may be a way to contact the Miyoshi family, the Takeda family, and the Hojo family! " "The Kiso Valley is located in a remote area with vast mountains on both sides, and the Kira army's blockade has reached its extreme. At this time, even the information cannot be transmitted!"  Yoshiyasu could only smile bitterly at the young man and said: "I really don't know what to do with this situation! How could our Kiso family be like this?" This is what the saying goes that troubles come from the sky when people are at home.  , in Kiso Yoshiyasu's view, this was completely an unnecessary misunderstanding. If it hadn't been for Ogasawara Dongxuesai's trouble, many things would not have happened, let alone the trouble that he had to fight for his own reputation.  Nowadays, apart from regret, I still regret.  Yamamura Yoshitoshi's only fourteen-year-old legitimate son Yamamura Yoshihou said nervously: "If we surrender now, can we get Anto's promise?" "Impossible! The Kira family will not let us go so easily. Otherwise  They will not try their best to give us the name of treason, and there will probably be no chance." Kiso Yoshihashi said with a sullen face: "No matter what, my Kiso family will never give in!  ¡± No matter how much Kiso Yoshimasa persists, he cannot change the situation that has no way out. Kiso Valley is surrounded by mountains in the depths and is surrounded from all sides. The defenders in the city are limited and cannot surrender in exchange for a chance of survival. This forces the situation.  The Kiso family had no choice but to give up on themselves and cling to one path.  However, Kiso Yoshimasa still tentatively sent envoys to try to surrender, but how could Ogasawara Nagatoki give him a chance to survive? His third brother Ogasawara Tosukisai started this war at the cost of ending his personal career, but the result was  Stealing the chicken but losing the rice made him hate the Kiso family to the point of itch, not to mention that Kira Yoshitoshi's order was to eradicate the weeds and not allow surrender.  In despair, Kiso Yoshimasa gritted his teeth and insisted on not opening the city and surrendering, because he knew very well that Kira Yoshitoki was going to kill him. Kiso Yoshimasa couldn't figure out why his secret plan was discovered. Logically speaking,  He shouldn't have acted so quickly, but the facts easily defeated his self-confidence. He was destined to be a shameful loser.  Thousands of people besieged Kiso Fukushima Castle. This absurd and bizarre scene lasted for a whole month. Until late July, not far from the autumn harvest, Kiso Fukushima Castle, which had been without food for more than half a year, was forced to surrender. The current family governor Kiso Yoshi  Masaru, his reclusive father Yoshiyasu Kiso, and his younger brother Yoshitoyo Uematsu committed seppuku.  More than 200 men from the common clans of the Kiso clan, including the Sajikawa clan, the Chimura clan, the Makino clan, the Atagawa clan, the Furuhata clan, and the Kamimatsu clan, died with the family governor. A few die-hard family retainers such as Yamamura Saburo Kuro and Narai Rokuro  Zaemon also died following his master's family, and the vast space of Fukushima Castle was filled with the corpses of the martyrs. The scene could really be described as a river of blood and a smell of stench rising to the sky. Kiso Yoshimasa had just gotten married and had not yetSubsequently, the Shinano Kiso family, which had been glorious for hundreds of years, became extinct.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
