Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Most of Shiotani County's territory is in mountainous areas. The Kira family's attack on Shiotani County was in the wild mountains and wilderness that no one wanted, so it didn't worry him much. Nikko Mountain in Tuga County is located deep in the mountains and is basically in the middle of the mountains.  Although he was nominally affiliated with the Utsunomiya family, what really hurt Utsunomiya Hiratsuna was the loss of a small piece of territory in Kawachi County and a piece of territory in Haga County.  From the name of Hoga County, we can know that this county has a very close relationship with the Hoga Couture family. The two major forces in the county, the Masuko family and the Hoga family, have been fighting for hegemony for many years.  The Hoga family gained control over most of the prefecture. The territory in the prefecture was mainly owned by Hoga Koada and his brother Masuuchi Daisuke family clan, as well as the Hoga family's small family, the military department Zaemon Koso.  controlled.  Cutting out a piece of territory in Hoga County happens to be the core area dominated by the interests of these three families. This move is no less severe than inserting a sharp knife into Hoga County. It is equivalent to digging out the Utsunomiya family's control in Hoga County.  Basically, there are only two choices for these three lords. Either submit to the Kira family and turn the undivided part into the divided part, or abandon this part of the core territory and move out the castle and establish a new one.  The difficulty of the latter is too great. Just a few flat plains and fertile land that have been cultivated for hundreds of years have been forcibly removed. These lords cannot be allowed to go to the mountains and hills to re-cultivate, let alone those territories.  They are also controlled by their subordinates or local people. Most of the unclaimed lands are mountains, forests, swamps, dangerous shoals and other places with harsh terrain.  These swords cut the Utsunomiya family's dominant power into pieces, and each sword went straight to Utsunomiya Hirotsuna's heart.  Although the Utsunomiya clan could not fall into the same dire straits as the Oyama clan after a few cuts, it was still far behind their old enemy Nasu Ziyin. Previously, the Utsunomiya clan was in a war against the Nasu clan.  But it has always maintained its dominant position.  Utsunomiya Hirotsuna was dissatisfied and lodged a protest. He believed that the Kira family was blatantly partial and unfair. It was unfair to mention that the Koyama clan and the Nasu clan were not punished, but he was severely punished. As a result,  Kira Yoshitsune also said that he would consider his request and deal with the rebellious samurai family in Shimono Kunich in a fair and just manner.  ??This time, Koyama Takato and Nasu Ziyin were extremely anxious. The former had just surrendered and obtained the promise of being able to secure a job. He had not slept peacefully for a few days when he was sued by the deceitful Utsunomiya Hirotsuna with a piece of paper.  For Xiaoshan, who was ready to watch the show without any involvement, this was the rhythm of being shot even while lying down.  Nasu Shina felt that he had been bitten by the bastard Utsunomiya Hirosuna. He originally thought that he had betrayed the Kanto Allied Forces and sent Ashikaga Fujimasa behind, which would be a great achievement. Kira Yoshitoki had already promised  Help him deal with the three Otawara brothers.  Just as he was happily watching the good show of Utsunomiya Hirozuna being dealt with, he was severely tricked by his mortal enemy. The hatred in his heart could not be described in words.  The two families also immediately filed a petition to defend themselves. One of them cried out that his injustice was even worse than that of Dou E.  The other one gritted his teeth and cursed Utsunomiya Hiratsuna for having ulterior motives.  Koyama Takato, an old samurai of many years, also showed off his acting skills on the spot. He knelt down in front of Kira Yoshi's palace and cried with snot and tears. He almost committed suicide by committing seppuku to show his loyalty to the prince.  A sincere heart, at first glance, this quality can almost catch up with the level passed down from generation to generation.  This performance not only shocked the members of the Kira family, but also stunned Nasu Ziyin who was watching the show. He opened his eyes wide and didn't know how to deal with this strange situation. He quietly scanned the hearts of the Kira family members in the military tent.  With a worried look on his face, he smacked his lips and cursed in his mind: "The old bastard from the Xiaoshan family is really cunning. He can probably get away with this drama! It would be great if I could cry too.  "Ah!" After all, it's really hard for him to do it, let alone crying in front of a hundred or so warriors.  Even with Kiragi's half-smiling gaze, he didn't dare to be so arrogant. It wouldn't be embarrassing if he couldn't cry and exposed his fault. But he didn't know that Xiaoshan Gaochao quietly put some ginger on his eyes before crying.  Otherwise, this old man might not be able to perform a crying show with hundreds of pairs of eyes.  Kira Yoshishi took out his bat fan to cover half of his face, and said in distress: "Oh! Utsunomiya Shimomomo's protest letter is really difficult to answer in front of Yu. If Yu tries to protect the two temples, he will not be able to accept it.  "But the loyalty of the two of you makes it hard for me to make a decision. What should I do?"  "What should I do?" Yukitaka Sanada also seemed very distressed, squinting his eyes and pinching his beard as he kept looking at the two warriors, his eyes seemed to express some chilling meaning.  The members of the Kira family genealogy said a few polite words, and then the new members of the Kanto Council started discussing at once, and the pro-Oyama familyThe people of the Shimono country expressed their support for the protest of Koyama Takato and Nasu Suin, while the people of the Shimono country who were pro-Utsunomiya opposed the protest of Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, and the two sides got into a quarrel and got into a big fight.  It means putting on a reality show.  Seeing this scene not only made Kiragi Toki feel dissatisfied, but also the members of the Kira family. Since Kiragi went to Echigo, he established a new system in the East Kingdom, repeatedly emphasizing the legal order of the samurai family.  With his own actions, the chaotic order of Echigo and other five countries was cleared up. Now seeing the familiar but unfamiliar noisy scene, the samurai who like to be quiet and abide by etiquette can't help but yell out.  "Gentlemen, please rest a moment and listen to me!" Honda rushed to stop drinking before clearing his throat and said: "It is important to pay attention to matters related to the stability of the Bando countries! Your Highnesses, please respond.  For the sake of the overall situation and the stability of Bando, there will always be a day when you can make money back after a little loss. As long as your loyalty to the public remains unchanged, I believe that the wise Lord Gongfang will definitely keep it in mind."  Yin secretly thought that was bad, thinking that even after all the crying and fussing, he still didn't escape the blow on the head. He wanted to hate the Kira family for their unfair treatment but didn't dare to hate it. He could think of telling them to hold on to a promise that he would pay it back in the future.  It can be considered relatively kind. If the Kira family is unreasonable and deals with them arbitrarily, nothing will happen.  Since you can¡¯t hate the Kira family for being unfair.  He just hates Utsunomiya Hiratsuna for meddling in other people's business with rats. Without this incident, only the Utsunomiya family would be the only one who would be unlucky. They would definitely not be hurt and suffer this blow in vain.  The two of them pondered for a long time and felt that they could only endure it, so they leaned on the ground and bowed: "I will make a decision based on His Highness's decision!" Ji Liangyi watched the two of them leave with a smile on his face. In fact, he was already happy in his heart.  It was a complete surprise that the two families were stabbed in vain. The original intention of Utsunomiya Hiratsuna's protest was to refuse his sword, but when he said it, he just used the topic to twist it into trying to bite Koyama Takato and Nasu Shiin. The two families were  He was so frightened that he hurriedly accepted the challenge and finally had to take the knife.  It would be nice to let these three families form a feud over and over again and gain a piece of territory at the same time.  He said that, but in reality he had to be much more cautious when dealing with these two families. After all, these two families had become foreigners who had surrendered to the Kira family.  He also said that he could not be brutally dismembered for the sake of "disposal". In the end, the Oyama family just symbolically designated ten towns to cultivate the land. The reason was that the Oyama family was the least involved and the weakest.  Taking away 90% of the Yuuki clan's territory was considered a severe punishment.  In short, they insist on confusing the territories of the Oyama clan and the Yuki clan into one family.  No matter what he said, Kira Yoshi always had something to say.  Even if he wants to practice double standards, the people of the Kanto Kingdom won't bother him. What's more, the Koyama family's relatives and relatives cover most of Kanto, and their sympathizers are no less than those of the Utsunomiya family.  It would be even more interesting to attack the Nasu clan. There was no intention of touching the direct leadership of Nasu at all, but simply to attack the territory of the three Ohtawara brothers. Anyway, these three brothers were active participants in the anti-Kira alliance.  , Ozeki Takamasu himself was also the person Kira Yoshito planned to name when he issued a subjugation order, so directly removing these three families from the nominal Nasu family would save another step in the process.  Now Koyama Takachao and Nasu Ziyin were happy again.  No matter how poor the Oyama family was, they wouldn't feel pain over the loss of Jumachi Ayumu. Nasu Ziyin would be a little unhappy at most that the fat meat was given to the Kira family for no reason.  But this also has an advantage, that is, Nasu Ziyin no longer has to be the vanguard general to conquer the three families, and only needs to wait for the Kira family to suppress these ambitious bastards.  As soon as this edict came out, people in Shimono Country were in a state of confusion again. The reply Utsunomiya Hiratsuna received clearly felt that the words were a little more accentuated, as if he was telling the Utsunomiya family that I have already given you the fairness and justice you want.  There is not much time left to think about it for fifteen days. Make a decision as soon as possible to avoid causing new disputes and it will not be good for the Utsunomiya clan.  This frightened Utsunomiya Hiratsuna, and he hurriedly summoned a group of family members to discuss countermeasures. However, he did not expect that at this time, the Utsunomiya family members had quietly divided into two groups, one of which was assigned to the Kira family.  The mentality of the new members of the Naomichi Council, the Genedai retainers, gradually moved closer to the Kira family. After all, it was always easier for the Genedai retainers to get ahead.  The other part is the Kunedai retainers who are not included and are very jealous. They firmly support the governor to continue the trouble. Some Kushidai retainers who are from the Utsunomiya clan have sinister thoughts in their hearts and hope that Utsunomiya Hirotsuna will make things worse.  In the end, they were converted into exile, and they themselves could inherit the Utsunomiya family's business and become generational retainers. Even if this plan failed to succeed, they could return to serve the Kira family as ordinary retainers.  According to the rules of the Muromachi period, the misfortune of the master family basically does not affect the family members. The demise of many samurai families does not prevent the branch families and family members from continuing to serve in new families. This is actually a characteristic of the samurai ecosystem in the Warring States Period.  One of them, Runizi¡¯s family??The Otomo family is one of the few who are loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. They are so famous because of the original intention of the people to praise loyal warriors and yearn for good things.  Ozeki Takamasu, Ohtawara Tsunakiyoshi, and Fukuhara Shitaka initially resisted Kira Yoshitoki's edict, but as Kira's army of more than 50,000 troops came to Utsunomiya Castle, they quickly put Utsunomiya Hirozuna under control.  After they bowed their heads and submitted their oaths, the attitude of the three Ohtawara brothers took a huge turn.  The three brothers, led by the eldest Ozeki Takazo, flew all the way to Utsunomiya Castle to present an oath to Kira Yoshitsune. Flattery words were sprayed out as if they were free of money. If it weren't for the fact that the three brothers were all older than Kira  If Yi Shi is older, he might be able to do something that would make him a Jiusi.  Next came Naganuma Suruga Morizuhiro of Shimono Junior High School, Matsuno Tsunadaka, a member of the Utsunomiya family who belonged to the Satake clan, Takemo Utsuwai Moritsuna, known as the grandson of Takemo Taro Utsunomiya Masatsuna, and Motegi Kamisukeji, also a member of the Utsunomiya clan.  Fang successively defected from the Satake clan's camp and joined the Kira family, and the entire Shimono country fell into the hands of the Kira family. The so-called Shimono quagmire was so vulnerable to the general trend.  The march to this point has quietly arrived in late October. As the heavy snow fell, it heralded the end of this year's war. Kira Yoshitoki reluctantly went down to Utsunomiya Castle and the people of Nokuni worked hard to serve the country.  Adjustments were made, and Nasu Ziyin in the north served as the flag-bearer of Oshu, responsible for mobilizing and attacking the national lords under the Ashina clan in Oshu, especially Yuuki Harutsuna of the Shirakawa Yuki clan, who must be captured as soon as possible.  On the other hand, it is also a good idea to appoint the seriously damaged Utsunomiya Hirozuna as the leader of Hitachi. Let Utsunomiya Hiratsuna deal with his old father-in-law Satake Yoshiaki. Kira Yoshitoki's encouragement to him is from there.  Just get up from there, and as long as he can defeat the Satake clan of Hitachi Kingdom, he will restore his original territory and grant additional titles as appropriate.  Even if Utsunomiya Hiratsuna knew this was a trap, he still had to jump in. Of course, he knew very well that Satake Yoshiaki's abilities were better than his own, but now he had no choice but to be a puppet. Utsunomiya  The Miya family was not united to begin with, and Kira Yoshitoki's intervention made the family members even more disunited.  A small half of the family's genealogy was taken away to serve as direct ministers of the Kira family, and the remaining half was unclear whether it was true loyalty or lip service. He did not dare to try to resist the consequences of resisting the Kira family. Faga Gao  To leave is to take out his backbone. The old members of the family lineage, such as Minagawa Toshimune and Mibu Tsunio, have been defecting one after another, which makes him lose the opportunity to move around. If he betrays the Kira family at this time, he may be killed in a matter of minutes.  The Dai retainer was taken to Edo Castle to wait for hanging.  When Kira Yoshitomo returned to Edo Castle with his army, Uesugi Teruatora's camp north of Odawara had been fortified into a semi-permanent branch of the city. The large number of wood and stone structures plus the stacking of Sanhe soil had an effect no less than that of stone walls.  Months of wind, sun, and repeated beatings have ensured that the Sanhe soil is as hard as a rock. Ordinary bows and arrows and old iron cannons can't even hurt a hair on it.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
