Chapter 775 The goal of the battle

Although Hatakeyama Yoshizuna was expelled, it is not that there are no samurai in Noto to support her.

There are many hills in Noto, and the stone height is [-].The main grain-producing area is the plain at the junction of Kaga Noto and the two countries.From Kaga to the northeast of Noto, it is a long section until Nanao Port.

The Noto Peninsula is C-shaped. The peninsula connects to the mainland and is a plain area connected to Kaga.There are many cliffs and rocks in the west, Qiwei Bay in the east, Fushan Bay in China outside, and a good harbor.

Noto is divided into four counties, and the southern two counties are on the long plain.To the west, Yuza County is connected to Kaga Country, and to the east, Kashima County is connected to China.

Kaga Yixiangzong invaded Yuza County, entered Noto from Kaga, and attacked Kashima County eastward.

Kashima County is connected to Vietnam by the Baoda Hills, with many mountains and few roads. With developed sea transportation, it can go down the river and reach the coast of Toyama Bay.

Nanao Castle is actually a mountain city built on the back of the Baoda hills, facing south to north, and surrounded by mountains. It occupies the advantage of the mountain and overlooks Nanao Port.

Because Nanao Castle relies on the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It radiates westward to the most important plain grain-producing area of ​​Noto country, and it has become an important city for the Noto samurai.

Since ancient times, Nanao Port relied on the Tsushima Ocean Current to communicate and trade with the ancient Bohai country in the outer northeast. It went northward through Echigo, Sado, and arrived in Ou, which also increased the strategic value of Nanao Castle.

Although the Noto Hatakeyama family is weak, they have always controlled the two key points in Noto.

One is the upper part of the C-shaped peninsula, extending to the apex and turning into Matsuba Castle in Nanao Bay, and the other is the residential city Nanao Castle. The two cities control the entire Noto country from the north and south ends.

The Onjing family occupies the Wajima area on the western outer coast of the peninsula, another powerful family, and the Nagai family controls Anasui Castle in the central part of Nanao Bay, all of which are key points in the central part.

The Noto Hatakeyama family was weakened, and the power of the family was usurped by the seven important officials in the family, and the Noto country was ruled by a collegiate assembly of seven people.

Among the seven people, Wen Jing's family and You Zuo's family fought for power.Onjing Zongzhen won and became the actual power holder of the Noto Hatakeyama family, and excluded the Yusa family to monopolize the power.

This time Hatakeyama Yoshizuna killed someone and was expelled, and Onjing Zongzhen was hacked to death.The Yuzuo family seized the opportunity to seize Nanao Castle, and joined forces with the Nagayama Castle of the Nagai family to fight against the Ichimozu clan colluded with the Onjing family.

Shiba Yoshiyin didn't want to change the internal structure of Noto. Infringing on the interests of each family would become a target of public criticism and would be even more troublesome.All he wanted to do was to help Hatakeyama Yoshizuna take back Nanao Castle.

Therefore, he can completely come forward in the name of the shogunate and ask these samurai to sit down and talk.Even Wen Jing's family, as long as her family is willing to disown Yi Xiangzong, everything can be discussed.

Now the strongest four-party forces in Noto are divided into the retainers loyal to Hatakeyama Yoshizuna, the Onui family, the Yusa family, and the Naga family.

Yiyin's countermeasure is to smoke anyone who refuses to talk.With the army of Echigo and Etsuchu watching over them, I believe that the Noto family is willing to reason, and we can work together to achieve a new balance in the country.

As for Kaga Izumozong who invaded Noto country, that was another trouble.How should the Kaga Etchu Isato clan be suppressed?To what extent?is a difficult problem.

That is to say, they are afraid of Echigo's military power and can be peaceful for several years.It can't be beaten too hard, which will tear his face and completely anger Ishiyama Honganji.

Right now, Yiyin is not sure about this scale. We have to look at the development of the situation and take one step at a time.

Hatakeyama Yoshizuna has already confessed his mistake, and of course accepted that the original structure of the seven-member collegiality remains unchanged, so that Shiba Yoshigin can see her sincerity.

Yoshigin glanced at Uesugi Terutora and said with a smile.

"His Highness Uesugi, His Highness Hatakeyama's magnanimity in knowing mistakes and correcting them is admirable.

I intend to mediate for all parties involved in the civil strife in Noto, are you willing to help me? "

Uesugi Terutora said solemnly.

"Waiting for the Wu family to bathe in the blessings of the shogunate, we should maintain the Wu family's public order and peace and order.

Nengdeng's civil strife has always been a contempt for the sect bandits and nuns to take advantage of the situation to make trouble.I would like to fully support you and contribute to the mediation of the Royal Platform. I believe His Royal Highness Jimbo of Etsuchu also has the same thoughts.

The shogunate has its own laws and regulations, and it cannot be allowed to be presumptuous all the time! "

Yiyin clapped the case and said.

"Okay! His Highness Uesugi understands righteousness deeply, and he is indeed an example of the samurai family."

He spoke softly to the expectant Hatakeyama Yoshizuna.

"Your Majesty Hatakeyama, please be patient and wait for the Echigo family to start the spring review. Please attend the review at that time and bring up this matter again."

"Hi!"

Hatakeyama Yoshizuna kowtowed to the ground, grateful.Shiba Yoshigin did things too well, and didn't mention any additional conditions at all, which was tantamount to helping her return to Noto for nothing.

The Wu family always puts interests first when doing things.

For example, Jinbo Chief asked Uesugi Terutora to go to China to attack Shii Mingjia, and what he paid was the land of Shinkawa County east of Kurobe River.

When Hatakeyama Yoshizuna came here, he was ready to bleed heavily.Anyway, the Noto Hatakeyama family has long lost control of the Noto country, and whatever the conditions are agreed to first, they will cut other people's flesh.

But Shiba Yoshigin didn't have any conditions, and was willing to come forward to greet Uesugi Terutora and Jinbo Chief to help her regain her family fortune.

If Yutai didn't ask for it, Uesugi Terutora and Jinbo Chief couldn't go beyond his self-imposed conditions. To do so was to slap Shiba Yoshigin in the face.

There are also reasons for Shibo Yoshihiro to act like this.

On the one hand, Yoshizuna Hatakeyama has lost all his family business, and she will definitely agree to any conditions offered now, but Yoshiyin Shiba will be responsible for the troubles afterwards.

The land was not created for nothing, and as much as he took away, he took away as much as the Noto Wu family had.

Shiba Yoshigin didn't want to get entangled with the Noto samurai for a little profit.For the Uesugi Jinbo family, I also hope that they will not be greedy for this benefit.

With the help of Uesugi Terutoro in the position of Jinbao Chief, swallowing most of Xinchuan County is enough for her to digest for a long time.If you are not greedy enough and reach out to be able to ascend the country, I am afraid that the balance will be broken again and troubles will arise.

The same is true for Uesugi Terutora.

After Echigo got the land east of the Kurobe River, he should turn his head and focus on the Kanto Raiders.Yoshigin didn't want Noto's petty profit to keep the Echigo Samurai's attention on it.

On the other hand, the biggest interest of the Uesugi and Shiba in Noto is the opening and stability of Nanao Port.

Hatakeyama Yoshizuna returned to Noto country, what Yoshiyin hoped for her most was not to give much reward, but to maintain the unity of the Noto samurai family.

The more stable the interior of the Noto Hatakeyama family is, the safer Nanao Port will be. This is the real benefit.

Therefore, even if the army suppressed the country this time, he would mediate on behalf of the shogunate and try not to use suppression methods as much as possible.

Not only did he not want to infringe on the interests of the Noto Samurai family, but he even hoped to give them benefits, allowing them to participate in sharing the business profits of the Hokuriku Road trade route, so that he was willing to actively maintain this trade route.

The strategic goal of going out to Vietnam this time.It is to eliminate the Shiina family, subdue Kaga Etsuchu Ichikomune, win over the Noto samurai family, and restore Hatakeyama Yoshizuna's ruling power.

These measures are all aimed at restoring stability and tranquility in Hokuriku.For Yoshihiro, it is in the greatest interest that there will be no more accidents on the Hokuriku line.

Only when Hokuriku Road is stabilized can Hokuriku Road's commercial routes prosper, and Echigo can be at ease in the Kanto Raiders without being distracted and wary of Hokuriku Road.

As for Hatakeyama Yoshizuna's gratitude, Yoshiyin saw it in his eyes, but understated it in his mouth.

"You don't have to think about it.

The Noto Hatakeyama family is the Hatakeyama branch, and you are the guardian of Noto.As the leader of the powerful local faction in the shogunate, I have a responsibility to you.

It is definitely not for your family's self-interest to send troops to quell chaos and restore peace to one side.It is to maintain the law of the samurai and the majesty of the shogunate. "
