    An elegiac song was sung repeatedly, and the sad and plaintive melody was like crying. All the people who saw and heard it were sad and shed tears. Takeda Shingen suddenly smiled: "Listen! That is the sound of Ninomaru being breached. My life is about to end!"  Takasaka Masanobu cried loudly: "My lord! Let me take one step in front of my lord and explore the road to the underworld! This body comes back again and again. I cross the breeze and the water, but the bright moon is still in the sky" Finish singing the sentence of death.  , Takasaka Masanobu pulled out his ribs and stabbed it into his lower abdomen. In an instant, blood spilled on the spot, and the beautiful dancer fell softly. Baba Nobufu walked to Takasaka Masanobu's body and knelt down, saying quietly: "My lord, you have faith in me."  There is no way to repay Fang's kindness in this life, so please let me accompany my lord and continue to be my lord's loyal minister in the underworld! Swallowing the sword and abandoning the famous bow, I can only watch this breeze.  At that moment, he raised his ribs and committed seppuku. Witnessing the passing of an outstanding samurai with blood splattered everywhere, Takeda Shingen lamented: "It's okay, with you, I will not be alone in the endthe last moment is indispensable without saying goodbye."  , then let me do it too!" He slowly pulled out his ribs and came to Guojun, holding the familiar blade in his hands, and whispered: "This body and bones will return to heaven and earth, not touched by the world of mortals, and live alone" When Takeda Nobushige left  When I entered the courtyard, I saw Takeda Shingen's body kneeling on the porch. He still held Lai Guojun's hands and stabbed him in the lower abdomen. His face was full of relief and not a trace of regret. A powerful figure in recent three years.  Ten years of fame were gone.  Takeda Nobunaga slowly walked to the corpse and knelt down, sighing: "Farewell, brother" Just three days after Takeda Shingen committed seppuku and committed suicide, Takeda Katsuyori failed in the key mountain city of Gongcheng, and he was accompanied by three hundred troops under his command.  The rest of the people committed suicide in the city. Takeda Nobushige declared the peace of Kai Kingdom in the Tsuguzaki Hall, and on the same day he served as the governor of the Takeda family and the guardian of Kai. His son Nobutoyo Takeda took the opportunity to become the successor of the governor of the Takeda family and the Takeda retainers group.  Show your loyalty to the father and son.  And Takeda Nobutora also set foot on the territory of Kai Kingdom that he was familiar with again after nearly thirty years.  In the next few days, according to the order of Sanada Yukitaka, Takeda Nobuhige, and Satake Yoshigege, many of the Japanese who surrendered to Kai were rewarded for their merits and demerits. There were dozens of Kai samurai families who were exterminated, most of them were Takeda Shingen.  The warriors who were raised by one hand and the above warriors were sentenced to a modified sentence, and the prisoners who persisted in resisting until the last moment were also punished in this way.  His possessions were taken away, and his family was exiled to the Mutsu Kingdom to cut mountains and cut rocks.  If you have a fault, you have merit. Oyamada Nobumo and Anayama Nobujun, who acted as the leader, were rewarded. Both families were entrusted with 50,000 koku. Oyamada Nobumo was attached to the Bando Hachihei clan and was transferred to the northern part of Shimono Province to serve as a royal family.  Attached to the general.  Nobu-kun Anayama was transferred to Minami Shinano Kiso Valley as the new lord of Kiso Valley. The other surrendered generals received rewards based on their merits such as ability security and a small number of additional titles.  It was already the end of May when the affairs in Kai Kingdom had to be dealt with. The 80,000 troops gathered outside Tsubasaki Hall moved south to Suruga and moved closer to the main force at the front fighting in Owari Kingdom. At this moment, Minamoto Yoshitoki led  The imperial family came to Qingzhou City to take command.  In the past two months, in addition to attacking Takeda Shingen of Kai Kingdom, the 100,000 troops he led galloped all the way and invaded Suruga Kingdom, Enji Kingdom, and Mikawa Kingdom without stopping.  At the end of the month, Owari Province, the home base of the Oda family, was captured.  The early betrayal of the Suruga sects led by Asahina Nobuyuki and Miura Yoshikage struck a fatal blow in the back of the already weak Takeda family. As early as a few years ago during the Kanto Shogunate era, they were transferred by Yamamoto Kansuke.  Become an insider.  In the past few years, the Kanto General Office has seemingly stayed put and focused on dealing with the rebellions in Oshu and Kanto. In fact, secretly, it has long hollowed out the foundation of the Suruga Kingdom.  The same is true for the Ene Kingdom. Horikoshi Sadanobu, Iio Renryu, Amano Keiguki and other Ene sages have also become Kanto's internal agents early on. There is no need to go into details about the Mikawa sages. With the Kanto shoguns who were born in Mikawa  The dominant position in the Eastern Kingdom is enough to kill all outstanding lords instantly.  People like Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen simply cannot gain their sincere loyalty.  This is equivalent to the fact that the Takeda family worked hard for several years to win Shun Enzo, but only used it to make wedding clothes for Minamoto. The more effort they put into Shun Enzo, the heavier the loss to Kai.  In recent years, Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga have always struggled to fulfill their efforts in the Mikawa Kingdom. This is the reason why Shun Yuan San and Fang Zhong were lagging behind.  This delay caused the Takeda family to fight a tug-of-war in Mikawa Kingdom for four years. Although the Oda family was dominant in power, the Kai warriors were not comparable to Owari's weak soldiers. Even if they were trained during the unification of the Three Kingdoms with strong tail strength,  Sending a lot of strong troops still cannot change the basic characteristics of Tokaido's relatively weak military strength.  Takeda Shingen was very confident to seize Mikawa Kingdom, and even seize Owari Kingdom in one go, but he wasted four years in such a good situation.Time, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no problem. You may not notice any internal problems for three to five months, but as time passes, you will still feel that something is not right inside Shun Enzo. This is what Kinoshita Hideyoshi uses.  Convincing Takeda Shingen was the main reason why Takeda Shingen finally agreed to Oda Nobunaga's no-war agreement.  The so-called bystanders are obsessed with knowing the authorities. When Takeda Shingen discovered that even his opponents had discovered hidden dangers within themselves, he realized that the four-nation dominance system was far more fragile than imagined. Regarding the many internal contradictions in Shun Enzo, Takeda Shingen was able to  There are not many methods that can be used. Too radical methods cannot be used. Conventional gentle methods have been used for four years, and the results are not ideal depending on the situation.  Then the only way is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but this chicken is not easy to find. It is not possible to just find a powerful Chinese person in the Junyuan Three Systems. We are worried that doing so will further stimulate the people of the Three Kingdoms to rebel first, not to mention  Suruga Kingdom is only separated from Sagami Kingdom by Mount Ashigara. If the monster Minamoto Yoshiki is summoned, wouldn't it be that Takeda Shingen is slapping himself in the mouth? Such stupid things cannot be done.  Since we can't move the people in front, we can only move our own people. At the same time that Oda Nobunaga solved his worries and led the army to support the general in Luo, Takeda Shingen also made an astonishing decision after thinking hard for a long time.  Capture Takeda Nobushige, his younger brother who has been guarding Suruga Country for a long time and has a profound influence in Suruga Country.  From claustrophobia to attempted murder, it fully shows Takeda Shingen's true thoughts, as long as Takeda Nobushige is forced to death, even if he ultimately fails and dies.  The descendants of the Takeda family can eventually inherit the family. It doesn't matter if there are too many Takeda Katsuyori for him to be of great use. Takeda Shingen just has many sons. The worst he can do is exchange his death for the chance of one of his sons to inherit the Takeda family business. As long as Takeda Nobushige dies, there will be many  Big opportunity.  "It's a pity that Takeda Shingen only gained failure in the end. Takeda Nobushige is no longer the loyal younger brother he used to be. The relationship between the brothers has been estranged for more than ten years.  His most valued nephew, Takeda Yoshinobu, was unjustly imprisoned, which indirectly led to a deeper and deeper estrangement between the two brothers. During the months when he was imprisoned in Zentokuji Temple, he hesitated until the appearance of his father, Takeda Nobutora, shattered him.  The last bit of hesitation.  So when Takeda Shingen got his ribs back from Saeda Morimo and learned that Takeda Nobuhige was with his father Takeda Nobutora, he said something like that.  He has clearly understood that his retreat has been exhausted, and there is only a dead end in front of him. Counting on the so-called Western Army is just a fool's errand. Minamoto no Yoshiki clearly laid out the plan early for him to dig into his pocket, so how could he let him take it easy?  Escape.  In Ohiro Room of Seishu Castle in Owari Province, Oda Nobunaga was in the main office of Owari era, Ashikaga Yoshiyasu quietly listened to the discussion of the retainers group.  His father Yuanyoshi Toki personally supervised the battle in Komaki Mountain Castle. The young governor of Yuanfu was already qualified to participate in government affairs, and he was making rapid progress these days.  Honda Tokimasa said with a smile: "Takeda Shingen must have been filled with deep regrets until the moment he died! The bet that almost succeeded, turned out to be a bleak situation in which everything was lost."  Passing by Takeda Nobushige, who had just joined the Goryen clan, Kitahata Sotobo said: "You overestimate your own strength. You must know that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will eventually fail. Since my Ashikaga family unified the East Kingdom, the Tokaido  The Wu family secretly cares about Kanto. Takeda Shingen knows this very well, but he is always unwilling to believe that the family business he has worked hard for many years is just a mirror. "On the surface, it seems that Takeda Nobuhige's evaluation of his new colleagues and his brother.  He was unmoved, but in fact no one could tell whether he would be unhappy. At least Takeda Nobutora, who was accompanying the imperial minister, was not very happy.  No matter how ugly his son is, he doesn't like to be told by others, but it's hard to argue with him. The old man in his seventies can only sulk.  Yukitaka Sanada tried to smooth things over and said: "The dead are gone, and death is the most important thing. You guys should discuss the strategy of the East China Sea!" "The East China Sea Road is just like paper. The so-called Western Army is just a plate of loose sand, and the five vanguards are  The ten thousand troops were at a standstill and the Owari Kingdom was unable to advance. When they saw our army approaching, they quickly retreated back to Mino. If Oda Nobunaga hadn't arrived in time, there would be no need to continue this battle. Even if we had pushed all the way in,  "The situation seems to be similar now. If it had been launched a few years earlier, I might have been sitting in Kyoto as an important minister of the shogunate today!" The ministers laughed wantonly, not paying attention to the so-called Western Army at all.  Here, they have the confidence to make such a statement. Judging from the current performance of the Western Army, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as poor.  At the end of March, troops were mobilized to attack Luo. Hokuriku, Higashiyama, and Tokaido were launched at the same time. In particular, Tokaido and Higashisando brought together a total of 170,000 troops. It really frightened the Kai samurai who had never seen a big scene. The actual situation  However, Shun Yuan San looked at the wind and surrendered, and in less than a month he bulldozed the three territories of Tokaido.During this period, almost no decent fighting broke out before entering the stage of cleaning up the remnants.  It didn't matter that it took nearly a month for an army of 70,000 to besiege Kai. It was just that Minamoto no Yoshiki hoped to reduce casualties and took advantage of the overwhelming force of the army to crush the enemy.  This strategy was very successful in dismantling the last trace of the Takeda family's shared hatred of the enemy. They advanced all the way into Kai Country with almost zero casualties.  The whole process went smoothly, as if it was just a routine task of the Kanto Army to quell the civil strife in Togoku Ichiku. In fact, many of the preparations behind it were complicated and extensive and lasted for many years. For example, Oyamada Nobushige, one of the Bando Hachihei clan and a member of the Chichibu Party, was one of the two Takeda warriors.  It was not that simple to win over Yamazuki. Hojo Tokichi spent nearly two years trying to make plans, and it was not until Takeda Nobushige was imprisoned that he made up his mind.  There is also another branch of the Takeda Ryozan system, Nobu-kun Anayama. This clan often has the ambition to rebel against the Takeda clan. It is true that generations of family governors have been close to Imagawa and Takeda, but it is not so easy for him to betray easily.  The cunning Nobu-kun Anayama said that he was willing to lead the way, but he was not willing to be a cannon fodder that died before dawn.  The former can ensure the safety of himself and his family during the period, and is qualified to enjoy the speculative dividends brought by the operation, while the latter is just a meaningless abandoned son, and there is no scientific research benefit at all in the death of his family.  Without the factors of Takeda Nobushige being imprisoned and the influence of Kamakura's military raising at the time of Minamoto Yoshi, he would not have made the decision to make Uchitsuri Kiri easily.  I have to say that Takeda Shingen's act of imprisoning and killing his legitimate son Takeda Yoshinobu was very stupid. Not only did he personally destroy the heir to the family governor who had worked hard for twenty years to cultivate, but he also laid hidden dangers in the further purge. Many family members who were close to Takeda Yoshinobu  Being implicated one after another, many members of the sect who were dissatisfied with Takeda Katsuyori became dissatisfied.  Among the many influences, he happened to encounter Minamoto no Yoshi and launched a large-scale invasion. The Takeda family was destroyed so easily.  It seems very simple, but behind the simplicity lies countless hard work and planning. You must know that Kai Country was the place that blocked the footsteps of Hojo Soun, Imagawa Ujichi, and Hojo Uzuna. It once allowed Minamoto Yoshitoki to go south to Shinano.  If it were so simple, how could it stop these heroes again and again in this dangerous and dangerous place?  The Tokaido Legion has a total of 120,000 troops.  In order to speed up the attack, Satake Yishige was specially dispatched to lead an army of 20,000 troops, with Oyamada Nobushige as the lead, and invade Kai Kingdom from the mountains east of Mount Fuji. Before the overall situation was decided, Minamoto Yoshitoki personally led an army of 100,000 troops to enter.  Suruga Province, together with Miyabe Tsurun of Toe Province and Ogasawara Nagatoki of Mikawa Province, had a total of 20,000 troops, crossed the Yahagi River and invaded Owari Province.  When entering Owari.  It happened to be the most intense moment of the Sakamoto War. Oda Nobunaga had no time to escape and return to his home base. He just ordered the Western Army's 80,000 troops to go to Tokaido to support the Takeda family in advance in the name of the deputy commander of the Western Army. At first glance, it seems that  With 80,000 reinforcements and 40,000 Takeda troops, the situation can be stabilized even if the Eastern Army cannot be defeated. He only needs to guard the pass and wait for a month or two. Oda Nobunaga can lead a 150,000-strong army and return victoriously. By then, the outcome has not yet been determined.  It can be known.  But the actual situation is that Oda Nobunaga is taking it for granted.  The Western Allied Forces, which were gathered under the new emperor's decree, were simply a mess. Not counting Takeda Shingen's total force of over 200,000, including 25,000 Kyushu soldiers, 30,000 Western soldiers, and 30,000 Shikoku soldiers.  people, and the rest are all troops from near Kinki.  Dayou¡¯s family had no less than 50,000 people and only sent 15,000 soldiers. Longzao Temple had an army of at least 8,000 and only sent 3,000 soldiers.  The Shimazu family only sent two thousand soy sauce soldiers, and the other Kyushu people together only had a few thousand people. The total number of people was only 25,000. If compared with the Southern and Northern Dynasties era more than two hundred years ago.  Ashikaga Takauji brought an army of 200,000 from Kyushu to beg for food. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the total population of Kyushu was less than two million. Today, the total population of Kyushu is at least double what it was back then.  The situation in the Western Kingdom is similar. During the Onin Rebellion, the Ouchi family put in a lot of effort and acquired more than a thousand warships to transport 35,000 elite Western Army regiments. This almost changed the strength pattern of the Eastern and Western armies.  Hosokawa Katsumoto was so hurt that he ran to the countryside to find allies. At one point, he was so hungry that even a guy like Asakura Toshikage, who had previously looked down upon him, was appointed as the guardian of Echizen.  On the contrary, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, the Maori family, only provided 20,000 troops. Other Western military families such as Nizi's Restoration Army and Urakami Munekage had a total of 10,000 troops. Thinking back to the time when everything collapsed, Urakami Muramune was able to  With an army of 20,000 to help Takagawa Hosokawa, no matter how poor the Saikoku Samurai family was, they could still muster an army of 70,000 to 80,000. After all, the silver mountain buried in the mountain den was not fake. The Mori family received the mantle of the Ouchi family and inherited the niko.  A year's inheritance, the combined efforts of the two families could only provide 20,000 people, which is not much better than sending it to beggars.  It must be said that the samurai of the four countries put in a lot of effort to control the Miyoshi clan, the declining overlord of the three countries of Awa, Sanuki and Awaji.Iyo's veteran guardian daimyo, the Kono clan, the Tosa Kuniji Ichijo clan, the Tosa Ichiha Chosogabe clan and other Shikoku samurai families put in a lot of effort. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu happily led an army of 20,000 to Luo. Anyway, the distance was close and he was well prepared.  In less than ten days, he went to the Kinai Formation to participate, and other companies scraped together to get 10,000 people.  The Kinai samurai family contributed the most to the so-called Western Army. Among them, the Kinai overlord Oda family spent 60,000 troops, almost all of it without leaving capital. Asakura, Asai, Wakasa Takeda, and Tango Isshiki of the northern Kinki coalition were  There were more than 10,000 people, as well as people from Kawachi Hatakeyama, Yamato people, Harima, Tamba and other miscellaneous people from the country gathered together. The total number of people was more than 100,000.  This is why every samurai family that occupies Kinei can become the overlord. The five kingdoms in Kinki were called the Five Kingdoms in ancient times, namely Settsu, Yamashiro, Kawachi, Izumi, and Yamato. The divisions in Kinki are more general, with Omi, Tamba, and  Tango, Harima, and Kii can all be included, and sometimes Ise, Wakasa, Echizen, Shima, and Iga can also be included.  Even if these fifteen countries are added together, the total cost will only be around 4.5 million dan.  However, he can easily bring out hundreds of thousands of troops to help. This ability is not something that can be achieved just anywhere. The only thing that can be compared is probably the eight countries of Kanto who can easily bring out a hundred thousand troops. Therefore, thousands of people have  Hundreds of years of disputes have always revolved around Kinki and Kanto. The reason is that the vast plains and rich products of these two places can serve as the basis for hegemony.  Oda Nobunaga thought that he could command the Western Army by occupying most of the Tokaido and the core area of ??Kinai. In fact, he was indeed working hard in this direction.  It's a pity that the Western Army is just a mess after all. The Shikoku samurai are still respectful and obedient, and the Western samurai can barely give him some face. The people of Kyushu don't give him any face at all. Who do you think Oda Nobunaga is?  And he bossed us around.  Just when the Battle of Sakamoto was fierce, Oda Nobunaga ordered 80,000 allied troops to go to Tokaido to rescue the Takeda family.  Shimazu went back to his hometown with his 2,000-strong army without even giving a reason. Otomo Otomo saw this and said that there was still a war at home, and returned to Kyushu with 15,000-strong troops. The Ryuzoji family  They walked faster, and the other Kyushu people all went home. In the blink of an eye, Kyushu's 25,000 troops disappeared, but Oda Nobunaga was busy besieging Sakamoto to search for the emperor, but there was nothing he could do.  Wait for him to react.  This Kyushu samurai couldn't even see a hair. Just at this time, Yoshikawa Motoharu ran over panting and said that he also wanted to go back to visit his lair. Oda Nobunaga caught him and said nothing to let the Mori family take advantage of the opportunity.  Escape, strictly order the military forces of all countries not to leave a step without permission, and put all the noisy Wu families under guard.  Such a fuss really made the atmosphere very unpleasant. Yoshikawa Motoharu thinks you, Oda Nobunaga, are nothing but a nouveau riche from Tokaido.  We are just a small priest family from Owari. Our ancestor of the Mori family is Oe Hiromoto, a powerful imperial family member of the Kamakura shogunate, a famous wise general and cultural person who served as a deacon in the government office. There is no way that the descendants of the small priest can compare.  The Western Army, which was reduced from 80,000 to more than 55,000, stopped advancing when it arrived at Owari with full of resentment and complaints. Many samurai felt that Oda Nobunaga was too domineering and could not be trusted.  There were more than 50,000 people inside and outside who simply didn't want to touch the main force of the Eastern Army. So when Minamoto no Yoshiki led an army of 120,000 people into the Owari Kingdom in a mighty manner, the first reaction of these samurai was not to fight, but  With his own military strength, he desperately retreated to Meinong Country.  With this retreat, the Oda family will be sold.  The vast plains south of Sumamata Castle on the Nagara River all fell into the hands of the Eastern Army, and the Oda family's land of Ryukyo changed its surname to Minamoto. Fortunately, at this time, Oda Nobunaga finally remembered that the Western Army was unreliable, and hurriedly led his own troops to rush.  I went to Gifu City for rescue and saw that half of my territory had been lost. It was really heartbreaking.  If resentment was useful, there would be no need for samurai. Drawing circles and curses every day could solve all worries. Oda Nobunaga was furious but could do nothing about it. He couldn't use the allied generals to cut and kill them in order to correct military law. The consequences of doing so would be the second.  The Tianxi Army completely disbanded and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.  But Oda Nobunaga was unwilling to suffer such a defeat, so he led more than 150,000 Western Army troops to confront the Eastern Army's 120,000 troops across the Nagara River in Gifu Castle. This confrontation lasted for almost half a month.  The 10,000 troops led by Yumitsu Numata of the Hida Corps successfully captured Higashi Mino, and the main force was combined to form more than 130,000 people. Today, the 80,000 troops who captured Kai rejoined Owari Province, increasing the army to two  More than 110,000 people.  However, there are not that many main forces on the front line. At the same moment when he captured Owari and faced off against Oda Nobunaga, Minamoto no Yoshitoki ordered Saito Asanobu to serve as general and lead an army of 30,000 to launch an attack on Ise Country. The troops received so far  The intelligence feedback is that Ise Country has been basically pacified. The reason is that most of the elite soldiers in Ise Country, like other countries in Tokaido, were deployed by Oda Nobunaga.Kinai participated in the ceremony of raising troops of the Western Army, and the empty territory was no match for Saito Nobunobu.
