Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Facing Hojo Genan's negotiation, Uesugi Terutora pointed directly in the direction of Edo Castle and told the kind-hearted old monk where to find the rightful owner. After sending the Hojo family envoy away, he was busy sending troops to sweep away Musashi's disobedience and ordered to rebel.  The Hojo family has been operating in the Musashi Kingdom for more than 20 years and has accumulated a lot of popularity. The annual tribute system of four public and six citizens was the first of its kind in the Warring States Period. Relying on this kind of self-destructive method to benefit the people  This move made a large number of farmers still willing to work for the Hojo family.  These Socun groups are local forces based on Su Laojishi. They are not very powerful but are very down-to-earth and very difficult to deal with. The failure of the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion more than ten years ago was related to this group of Socun groups.  There were various factors at play in the failure of the Kanto Astronomical Rebellion, and there are many reasons upon careful analysis.  For example, the people of the Kanto country are divided and have different orders. For example, they are plotting against each other to compete for the command authority of the alliance leader. For example, the Yuuki clan and the Oda clan are having civil strife and scattering the coalition forces in the southern Kanto. Another example is that the Kanto samurai families are experiencing internal chaos one after another, and there are also  There were disagreements over the division of newly acquired territories, etc. These factors greatly affected the confidence of the coalition forces. One of the more inconspicuous ones was the fierce resistance of the Musashi Kunisun group.  In fact, the Kanto Tenbun Rebellion was not a legal action, because the Kanto Allied Forces did not receive the guarantee and endorsement of the Kant身 K身f身 and the Kant身 Governor. Furukawa Ashikaga fell into a period of temporary decline due to the murder of the K身k身, and the Kant身 Governor Uesugi Kensei  Being abandoned by his own generational retainers, neither of the two nominal lords took the lead in this action.  As a group of invaders gathered from all over the country, this group of Kwantung allied forces came here to gain profits. If they could not gain profits, no one would be willing to live and die for a word, so as soon as they entered the Musashi country, they were busy arresting and killing people.  hunting.  I am afraid that if I am too late, others will snatch away these immediate benefits.  Although they have their own reasons for doing this.  But this caused a huge blow to the wealthy local lords of Musashi Country and the Somura Group.  Originally, Musashi Country was not the territory of outsiders like the Sagami Hojo Clan. The Ogigiya Uesugi Clan was the largest local indigenous leader. When the Kanto Allied Forces came back after a few years, there were many local nobles who were willing to lead the way.  When these local aristocrats realized that this group of Kanto people were not doing human affairs, they immediately changed their faces and became staunch resisters and began to support Hojo Ujiyasu. This group of short-sighted Kanto coalition forces were still unaware of all this and had no idea what they were doing.  The idea of ??making money offends the local forces of Musashi Country, and the first step in this war is about to go wrong.  There is no point in walking this step no matter how fast or hasty it is.  The same situation also occurred in the Hojo Territory of the Xiahui Kingdom. This group of people from the Kanto Kingdom rushed to grab money, food, and women. This was entirely the work of the Mountain King who came down from the mountain. This made the local indigenous Socun group hate these Kanto people.  Later, when I saw that Hojo Ujiyasu's public, four civil, six, and flood control strategies were indeed good, I simply became a die-hard supporter of the Sagami Hojo family.  This means that this group of so-called Kwantung allied forces is nothing more than an unorganized and undisciplined military robbery under the banner. Without a general who is prestigious enough to convince the public as a constraint, this Kwantung allied force will inevitably fall into stupidity.  Short-sighted, it's like a group of bandits and criminals gathering in the mountains and forests to kill people and steal money. One day, they suddenly remembered that they wanted to do something big, so they went around grabbing land, killing people and setting fires in the name of "doing justice for heaven".  Bandits turning into rebels in the blink of an eye always seems a bit absurd and nonsense.  The deeds of these bandits look so spectacular and amazing.  But in fact, they are just a group of stupid and short-sighted warriors. Their chaotic command and more ingenuity are placed on intrigues, making this group of people destined to reap the bitter fruits of failure. The Kwantung Allied Forces are more legitimate in name than that kind of people.  Many, in fact, the results obtained are slightly better than that of that kind of person.  It's just using the head of the Kanto Allied Forces to give Hojo Ujiyasu's bad reputation back to a great lord of wisdom and prowess. As the saying goes, giving a head from a thousand miles away is more important than courtesy, but friendship is more important. Tell me how deeply I love you.  Look at me giving you my head to send you to the Super God. My head will fulfill your supreme prestige. This is such a sincere emotion.  In the nearly ten years since the ridiculous Kanto Astronomical Rebellion, Hojo Ujiyasu has painstakingly managed the territories of Musashi and Shimosu Provinces and established extraordinary influence in the local areas. The Sagami Hojo clan seems to want to use these new territories as a  Demonstration or benchmark, the worse the people of Kanto treat you, the better I will treat you. If they steal your money and food, I will give you money and food. The more obvious the contrast, the greater the contrast. Gradually, the grassroots people of Musashi Country are  The Hojo family bribed and bribed.  So when Kira's army suddenly invaded Musashi Country and captured the entire Musashi Country in just a few months, the powerful and terrifying attack power shocked the people of Musashi Country, just like a little goat being surprised.  He will fall down and pretend to be dead in an instant. When faced with something scary, his first reaction is to disguise himself and hide. The national character of Musashi CountryThe crowd was so frightened that they did not dare to resist.  But when they realized that this terrifying monster didn't seem to have any intention of dealing with them, many nobles and servants began to become restless. They felt that the Kira family was not as scary as they thought. They could rely on the favorable terrain to fight against this dragon crossing the river.  As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress a local coward. This group of Socun groups want to express the idea of ????a local coward.  "I am a local and you have to respect my autonomy privileges. The Hojo family has four citizens and six citizens, and you must continue to implement a series of policies to benefit the people. Otherwise, I will use a knife to compete with you to see who is stronger." Probably.  What I mean is to tell you that I want to protect the privilege of being inaccessible, and I also want all the privileges given to us by the Sagami Hojo clan. If you don't give it to me, I will continue to make trouble to see who is more powerful.  Logically speaking, this method is still feasible. At least this matter is a big deal in the eyes of the Kanto Allied Forces, but it is not a big deal in the eyes of the Kira family. They were wrong and they were very wrong.  Kira Yoshitoki didn't give them a chance to negotiate at all, and he never led three ministers to meet with a group of country samurai who didn't even have a rank. The Ashikaga family of Kamizushi would not discuss anything with these country samurai. He was not in decline.  The shogunate, they are not unscrupulous Tu Yikui.  This group of noble servants and more mud-legged people are united in their interests.  In essence, it is the same as those in Shancheng Country.  You give one and he wants two.  He wanted three, four, or even five, six, or seven for two. He always wanted to get more benefits by pushing on his nose and his face. This is what it means to fight against rice and hate. Kira Ninja immediately recorded all the troublesome Somura Group in his book.  When presented to Kiragi in a small book, it would be easy to have this list and the detailed roster.  Kira immediately unloaded a piece of paper and issued an edict to Terutora Uesugi, ordering him to detach 20,000 troops as the Musashi counterinsurgency army. Yukitaka Sanada served as the general of this counterinsurgency army, and ordered him to destroy Musashi before the autumn harvest.  All the thorns on the list of junior high schools have been cleared.  If there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot without mercy. One person will kill another person and one village will destroy the whole village until they give up resistance and bow their heads and surrender.  Yukitaka Sanada completed the mission entrusted to him by Kira Yoshitoshi very well. In the following more than a month, he successively conquered dozens of mountain strongholds in Musashi Country, and repeatedly used unpredictable tactics to provoke the powerful Somura Allied Forces to fall into  During the civil strife, they rampaged through the Musashi Kingdom and killed all directions. Only then did the local snakes realize that their strength was so weak. Under the powerful suppression of the Kira Legion, they could only scream and be defeated one by one.  A full month and a half of sweeping was carried out, like passing through a sieve through all the villages in Musashi. All the villages on the list and those suspected of being anti-Kira family were given special attention.  However, Yukitaka Sanada still made some adjustments during the implementation process. He felt that the killing method proposed by Kira Yoshitsune might be angry words.  The strategy was to change the killing into a strategy of killing the chief culprit and sending the remaining party members into exile, further reducing the willpower of these local snakes to resist.  When Kira Yoshi learned about his countermeasures, not only was he not angry, but he gave him a very high evaluation for his flexible use. He became a great general, and he knew astronomy from above, geography from below, and people from the middle.  Only the yin and yang of knowing the military strength can ensure the peace and happiness of a city and a country. Historically, generals have always had to adapt to the situation and adapt to the situation. Only mediocre generals can implement the original plan step by step regardless of the situation.  After dealing with these Japanese lords, Kira Yoshitoki moved all the villagers on this list to Echigo Country, where he dispersed and reorganized them to completely destroy the unity of this group of resisters. After the first step is completed, there will be more  All the disobedient Musashi residents were moved to Echigo one after another, and they were all moved away regardless of whether there were 50,000 or 100,000 people. With Echigo's complete devotional system and strong control power, it was impossible for these Musashi people to have any  Any chance of turning around.  The Musashi people who migrated north will be dispersed and migrated to Echichu, Kaga, Shinano and other places according to the situation. After that, no matter how many people moved from Musashi Province, they would immediately be replenished from Echigo Province and returned to Musashi Province, because in successive years  The impact of natural disasters has caused the population to decline. The total population of Musashi Country is only more than 300,000. Even if all this population moves to Echigo, it will not affect Echigo's control.  This is exactly what Kira Yoshitoki decided, but his method was not to change places, but to move some of them around to break up their cohesion, and then planned to move 300,000 farmers into Musashi in batches  This is a way of dealing with the country's settlement. Even if you, Hojo Ujiyasu, have three heads and six arms, you will not be able to affect the Echigo people who are loyal to the Ashikaga clan.  This move is also to completely change the customs and habits of Musashi Country residents in various fields such as culture, customs, dialects, etc. This is Kira Yoshitoki's first surgical operation on Musashi Country, and it is also a bold attempt to use this method to gradually  Change the old problem of scattered behavior and lack of cohesion among the people of Guandong.  On July 12, a rational evaluation meeting was held in Edo Castle of Musashi Province.The lords of the nation from all over the country are the lords of Katsunuma Castle, Mita Masabute Tsunahide, the lord of Shinobi Castle, Narita Shimosu, Shoyasu, the lord of Matsuyama Castle, Ueda Noto, the lord of Tonao, the lord of Takiyama Castle, Oishi Harima, Sadanaka, and the lord of Iwatsuki Castle, Ohta Shimasa.  , Edo Castle Lord Ota Yasushi attended the meeting.  Together with the Habagata Castle, Kawagoe Castle, and Koji Castle that Kira Yoshitoki directly controlled, he has completely controlled all the important cities in the entire Musashi Country. The people of Musashi Country present here are more or less shocked by the Kira family's powerful combat power.  , being submissive and not daring to raise his head in front of Kira Yoshitoki.  At the meeting, Honda Toki was briefing on the recent military operations of the Musashi Kingdom. Uesugi Teruhora, who was stationed in the small machine city, led a 30,000-strong army to defeat several counterattacks by the Hojo Army, and assisted Yukitaka Sanada in pacifying several resistance forces from Minami Musashi.  In several battles, Honjo Shigeru performed very well. If the Hojo Army had not broken the rules and caused chaos in the duel, he would have successfully killed the vanguard general of the Hojo Army, Hojo Ushige.  "Ghost King" Saito Asanobu led his three thousand "Ghost Army" cavalry into Sagami Country and rampaged.  The Hojo army who killed several people who tried to resist threw away their helmets and armor and fled in panic.  It was also reported that five Hojo samurai, who believed in their bravery and strength, attacked him at the same time.  Instead, he easily neutralized them and killed two of them with both sword and gun.  The remaining three people were frightened by his momentum and turned around to run away. Saito Chao Nobu quickly threw a gun and impaled one of the fleeing samurai to death on the spot. He quickly caught up with the second fleeing samurai and dragged him to the ground.  On his own horse, he smashed his throat chakra with his fist and crushed his Adam's apple. The last samurai who escaped realized that he was running very fast and looked back. Saito who was chasing him was directly lassoed by the lasso and tied to the horse.  The horse queen kept dragging him along until he was trampled to pieces by the horses in the chaotic formation.  With Saito Asanobu taking the lead, the samurai who relied on their extraordinary strength ran to Uesugi Terutora one by one to ask for a fight.  They led their own gangs to invade Sagami Country again and again, which seemed to deceive the local lords of Sagami Country. Sagami Country's narrow territory lacked strategic depth. The total number of large and small cities in the country was less than 30. Compared with  Tango, which has a small territory but has more than 300 large and small towns, is really far behind.  Since the second-generation governor of the Sagami Hojo clan, Hojo Uzuna, Sagami Kingdom has not been harassed by large-scale invasions for decades. The two most severe losses during the Hojo Ujiyasu period also occurred in Musashi Kingdom. In this relatively peaceful environment,  Under such an atmosphere, the people of Sagami Country lacked the necessary defensive psychology and thought that it was relatively safe to be in the hinterland.  This illusion caused the twenty-one Sagami clan under the Hojo family to be completely defeated in the confrontation with the Kira family's invading army.  In less than half a month, dozens of collisions, large and small, basically ended in disastrous defeats. A few samurai organized a major counterattack, but they only managed to repel the Kira army who arrived in a hurry and did not know what was going on.  Even though he worked hard to repel the small invading army.  However, the Kira Army photographed nearby appeared at any time and did not dare to pursue it. This means that most of the time, the Kira Army was unilaterally crushed and purged. Even though it worked hard to win the small competition, it was unable to expand the results and obtain actual results.  In this unilateral war of attrition, the people of Higashi-Sagami's Hojo family have no power to resist the invasion of Kira's army. Honda Tokimasa's long speech lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, systematically summarizing what the Kira family has achieved so far.  Huge advantages, and intentionally or unintentionally pointed to the vulnerability of the Hojo Army in front of the Ashikaga family. Finally, he made a concluding speech: "The performance of the samurai is very outstanding. I believe that we will completely solve the problem that has plagued Kanto for decades within this year."  The troubles of Hojo, and the peace and tranquility of Kanto." No matter how much moisture there is in what Honda Tokimasa said, at least it frightened the people of the Musashi country present. When the samurai present expressed their admiration, they quickly agreed.  After a few words, he poked his head around to find out what terrible power lay behind the Kira family's incredible military victory.  This is a naked military showoff. To put it bluntly, it is like a male lion patrolling its territory, roaring from time to time to spread its scent to show its unquestionable ownership of this territory. It is also like a gorilla.  Beating the chest to show off one's strength in front of others, human beings use showing off in every aspect, and using another word with a similar meaning to describe it is a display of self-worth.  The territory of Musashi Ikoku is not small but very large. Its status in the Eight Kanto Kingdoms is roughly equivalent to that of Omi Kingdom in Kinki. It is also located in the center of a large plain. It also has rich water resources and considerable food production. Mastering this place is equivalent to  Mastering this region is equivalent to mastering the best stepping stone, which can further control the core interests of the entire region.  When Kira Yoshitoki chose Omi Province, he valued the core interests of being close to Goki, and it also had abundant water resources and excellent location advantages. With convenient transportation by water and land, he could establish a huge domination network. To a certain extent, Musashi Province  Also??Have similar functions. The Tone River, Arakawa, Tama River and other rivers have rich water resources, and they also have high strategic value as the heartland of the Kanto Plains.  To some extent, the strategic significance of Musashi Province is even greater than that of Omi Province. Probably only Sakai Town in Osaka Bay can compete with Musashi. The river transportation advantage of Omi Province's Sakamoto area relying on Lake Biwa and the Uji River is not as good as imagined.  Excellent, at least not as good as the river network extending in all directions around Edo Castle.  The Great Monk of Diplomacy, Asayama Hijo, said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Genan, the diplomatic envoy of the Sagami Hojo clan, requested a ceasefire. On behalf of the Hojo clan, His Highness Genan paid high respect to His Highness Kamikata and said that there would never be any resistance to His Highness Kamikata.  He expresses his disappointment with everything that happened in the Musashi Kingdom. The Hojo family sincerely hopes to live in harmony with the Ashikaga family, and urges His Highness to give him the opportunity to meet and express his thoughts. "The same is true for diplomacy. Hojo Genan is a genuine gentle man.  Literary monk, Chaoshan Richeng, a monk who became a monk on the way, is more like a bandit. Although his words and sentences are much more elegant than a few years ago, his fat and slightly sinister cheeks and burly and thick body are really eye-catching.  He doesn't look like a virtuous monk.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
