Pillars of the Wu family

The ice and snow melted in March in Yangchun, and as the sun moved northward, the warm sunlight fell on the Dewa country. The spring water in the Mogami River surged and entered the small flood season. The farmers in the Dewa country were busy plowing and sowing. In the season like Dewa country, only one season of rice can be grown a year. The latitude is too high, the weather is too cold, and the lack of sunshine has a great impact. Every autumn harvest, we must dry the grain before the snow falls and put it in the barn.

Growing food in Northeast China is like fighting a war. Farmers hide in thatched huts and spend a long winter, hoping that when spring comes, there will be more good weather, so that the ice and snow will melt a few days earlier, so that they can grasp the world's Basa rice. Fortunately, they still have the Mogami River. The melted snow soaks into the land, and a small part of it flows into the river to nourish the water and soil along the coast.

Yoshinori of Dabao Temple in Qingshui City was worried. He took over the Qingshui Clan's territory at the end of last year's autumn. As a newly transferred lord, he had to familiarize himself with a lot of government affairs. Leaving this mess to him to deal with, he didn't sleep well for many nights.

Worse still to come, just in time for the winter season when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, news that the Qingshui Clan's remnant clan raised the flag suddenly came out in Qingshui territory, which will add to the great worry of Dabao Temple , the freezing snow outside can almost reach knees, and a group of lone ministers and villains are going to rebel at this time. Will he, the lord, go to crusade?

If you don't go on a crusade, you are always worried about the new vassals in the territory, and the people of the country have similar thoughts, but if you really send troops to crusade, you will have to face the storm outside, and the dripping water will turn into ice in the winter, stepping on the thick snow to send troops The crusade against the bandits is simply looking for death, not to mention that the family members of the Pu Dynasty will not agree.Even the soldiers below would not follow him.If you really make this choice.Probably the family members of the generation of genealogy would think that the head of the family governor was burned out.

After thinking about it for a while, there was no good solution. At this moment, his younger sister suddenly returned home to visit her relatives. She was naturally very happy when she came back after not seeing her for a few years. It will explode completely after the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, and it is stated that he will never help.

Dabaoji Yoshinori was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked his brother-in-law how he got the news, but learned from him that Mogami Yoshimori was behind it.Most of the Izuwa people, including Tendo Laizhen, unanimously supported him, and he, Onodera Kagemichi, was also determined to make a decision to support him at this time. He sent his wife back to visit his relatives just to help him for the sake of his relatives for many years.

Hearing that his brother-in-law and powerful ally also abandoned him at this time, Taibaoji Yoshisou was in a terrible mood. Instead, his sister calmly persuaded him to calm down and told him that this alliance was a last resort , Izuwa country has always been their people from Izuha country, and everyone has never broken this tacit understanding.

But ever since Daihoji Yoshisou invited reinforcements from Echigo, the situation turned around. Uesugi Masatora's [-] troops brutally killed the Shimizu Yoshitaka clan, and swept away the Shimizu clan's former leader with lightning speed.The Dabao Temple Gizeng was transferred to the old leader of Qingshui, which was clearly intended to make the Dabao Temple family and the people of Deyu country confront each other.Kagemichi Onodera now has great doubts about Daihoji Yoshizume's intentions for bringing Daihoji Yoshisou to the front line of the Dewa country's confrontation, whether he is willing to be Echigo's lackey. [

Hearing his sister questioning him so impolitely, Dabaoji Yoshisou immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that he went to the doctor in a hurry but violated the tacit understanding of the Dewa people. He secretly scolded these bastards for their hypocrisy. I had never seen them be so polite when I annexed myself, but now I have to do something to myself because I invited reinforcements.

Onodera Kagemichi said that for this sake, he also knew that he had no way out, and there were only two options in front of him. He was willing to be Echigo's lackey, or he joined their Izuba Alliance to fight against Echigo, the mighty dragon. , but this decision is not so easy to make, Taibaoji Yoshisou is not an idiot, and it is deadly to fight against Masatora Uesugi after seeing how powerful he is.

Not to mention that the original territory of the Taibaoji family west of Mt. The entire Montenegro was exposed to the surveillance of the Kira Army. If Daihoji Yoshisou chose to turn against the water at this time, not only would he not be able to hurt the [-] Kira Army next to Sakata Port, but the Kira Army would easily capture Mount Haguro.

Without the cover of Mt. Haguro, the old leader of the original Daibao Temple in the south will also fall into the hands of the Kira army. He is not a fool, how could he fall into such a trick? The means of the town government will never treat them badly for the Dabaosi family.

Seeing that her elder brother gradually calmed down from panic, and looked at her with a bit of teasing, her mood immediately dropped a lot. Knowing that this little bargaining chip was not enough for her elder brother to submit, she gritted her teeth and took out their prepared trump card , said in a low voice: "My brother probably doesn't know yet! The Dewa country is planning a large-scale attack against my brother and Shonai. My brother knows that the participants include the Mogami family of Yamagata Castle and the Date family of Yonezawa Castle. The Onodera family and the Minato Yasu family in the north also expressed their support!"

"What! Are you saying that all Dewa people united to attack me? Why is this! Isn't it normal for the territory to change? As long as we and other samurai can keep the territory, it should be fine!" Dabaoji Yoshizo was very panicked, completely unexpected How could they have such a violent reaction.

"Brother, what are you thinking? The first thing Kira's army invaded Dewa country was to slaughter the Shimizu clan. This has never happened in hundreds of years! The cruelty of Kira's army is far beyond the imagination of the people of Dewa country. My husband is determined to break with Echigo just after seeing their deeds, and for this reason, he will not hesitate to fight with his brother to drive them away!"

Dabaoji Yoshisuki jumped into a rage, and shouted loudly: "But how could you drive them away! You have already seen Uesugi Masa's strength and resisted, are you crazy! Do you want to be wiped out like that idiot Shimizu Yoshitaka?".

"Brother, please calm down! This is my husband's letter, please read it, and you will understand after reading it!" Mrs. Dabaosi took out the letter that had been hidden for a long time and handed it to her brother.

Yoshinori Shinshin of Dabao Temple almost fainted when he saw it.My good brother-in-law attached a copy of the Mogami family document signed and sealed in this letter.It can be seen that this is a transcribed copy.This anti-Etsugo alliance brings together all the national lords of the entire Dewa country, and it is aimed at the Kira army and his retainer Daihoji Yoshisou. Shimizu Ichikui will launch at the same time. Divide this piece of fat.

At the same time, there is an important message in this covenant. For the first time, the regulations prohibiting other countries from intervening in Chuyu's affairs are officially written. If there is an attack by a powerful external force, an offensive and defensive alliance must be formed to deal with the powerful enemy. There is also a list of names of gods written on it. Take an oath.It's a bit like a blood alliance. It's self-evident who this regulation is aimed at.

In the attached letter, Onodera Kagemichi told him that he had to worry about which side to choose, and that the people of Izuha country also wanted to force him to betray the powerful Echigo, as long as he shrank in Shimizu City after Shimizu Ichikui made a fuss and turned to Shonai. The Kira Army asked for help. They, the national army, will take the opportunity to ambush in Shimizu, wait for the opportunity to deal a head-on blow to the Kira Army, and then seize the opportunity to seize Mipo Castle and control the village. At that time, Daibaoji Yisou can take advantage of the situation and make a posture of being forced to surrender. He will guarantee with his life that Yizeng's family business at Dabao Temple will not be taken away.

"Is it an idiot to be my family? I want to lure my family into the urn with a letter! In the end, my territory was taken away by you! Don't even think about it! Hmph!"

"Brother, think about it again!" Mrs. Dabaosi hurried away knowing that there would be no results.Although Yizeng of Dabao Temple did not agree to this proposal, he did not obviously intend to tear his face apart.I just folded the letter hastily and put it away, and I would take it out and read it several times a day.

This wait is half a winter, until the early spring arrives, the river water thaws, Dewa country enters the charming season of spring warmth, flowers blooming and all things recovering. As expected, Kiyomizu Kazuki's noisy movements are getting bigger and bigger. More and more, many originally neutral Chinese people also incited, and even the retainers of the Dabao Temple family showed signs of instability. [

Dabaoji Yoshizeng really panicked at this moment. He could refuse the invitation of Onodera Keido without worrying about Shimizu Kazuki, but he couldn't ignore the intention of the Dabaoji retainer group, so he urgently called the Pudai retainer group to discuss countermeasures. The vassals of Pudai complained that the Kira family was too harsh on them. From the Fengshui treasure land in the village to the Qingshui collar where the birds don’t shit, life is no better than before, and everyone still misses the previous territory.

Dabao Temple Yizeng also looked at the genealogists with a sad face, and sighed: "I understand what you mean, why don't my family miss the former territory, the water and soil in the village are more fertile than here, Weipu City is hundreds of times better than this Qingshui, but What else can we do if we have transferred the seal?"

A sect of Dabao Temple Yizeng, the lord of the Sarawak city, said: "There is another way, to retake the village and take back our territory!"

"How is this possible! That place is occupied by the Kira family." Daibaoji Yoshizo did not say anything in front of Pu Dai's retainers, anyway, his own family's situation is very clear to him.

The lord of Guanyin Temple, Lai Cishixiu, smiled and said: "This is true. Although we surrendered to the Kira family, it was only a matter of expediency. Sooner or later we still have to establish our own family. If the Kira family treats us better, it will be later." A few years, almost a few years earlier, anyway, we are going to leave anyway, since the Kira family is not good to us, why can't we raise the flag of rebellion now?"

"Not good! Very bad! If the army of the Kira family came to encircle and suppress, wouldn't our family and the lords end up with Shimizu Yoshitaka? It's very bad!" Dabaoji Yoshinaka shook his head, he wouldn't be so stupid After doing this kind of thing, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, looking at Pu Dai's retainers with burning eyes, and said angrily: "I also wondered why you are so quiet today, it turns out that you have been in collusion with the Mogami family and the Onodera family for a long time. How much benefit did you use to persuade the family? How much benefit did you promise to share with you afterwards? Tell me clearly!"

Pu Dai's vassals were stunned by the governor's keenness. They didn't expect him to find out the flaw so quickly. The atmosphere in the evaluation room was awkward for a while. No. [-] person, but everyone didn't speak, which made Dabao Temple even more exciting, and he was about to leave with a wave of his sleeve.

Seeing that the situation is not good, A Baoneng said quickly: "Hold on, my lord! I have something to say! It is a foregone conclusion that the Deyu Kingdom's army will be exhausted now. There are 1 people from several armies. We are waiting for the Dabao Temple family. Those who can't resist so many troops, if they don't make a decision at this time, will really be doomed!"

"Even if our family is robbed of our foundation, we can rely on the Lord of the Town and get back up again. It's better than you bastards who want to plot against our family! Look at what you have done! Colluding with other martial arts to plan our family, do you plan to take this opportunity? The claustrophobic family, set up a puppet to control my Dabaosi family! Say it! Why don’t you talk anymore!” What Dabaosi Yizeng said was heart-breaking words, so how dare they, the genealogy retainers, hang their heads Don't dare to say anything.

Governor Abe Lianghui has no way out so far, so he can only grit his teeth and say: "Actually, it's not about letting the lord take the lead in raising the flag of rebellion. One side of the ministers only needs the lord to invite support, and they can retreat into the village with them. Then they can seize the city. If you have the opportunity to seize the Walled City, you can regain the dominance in the village."

Dabao Temple Yoshinori laughed angrily, shook his head constantly and said: "If my family listens to your words, I will die in the place of burial! How capable are those Dewa people to kill my family! How dare you wait for an opportunity when you retreat to Weipu City Seizing the city is a dead end. Do you think the army of Lord Zhenfu, the leadership of Uesugi Masa, and the bravery of that bastard boy Shigecho Honjo can be stopped by the Dewa people?

Looking at the entire Deha, there is almost no one who can hold a stalemate with Honjo Shigecho's [-] troops, and the elites of Date, Mogami, Tendo, and Onodera are the only ones who can barely fight against it!Don't forget that Lord Zhenfu has tens of thousands of such powerful troops under his command. They have experienced the joint battles of Takeda, Hojo, and Ichikozong.

One more point, don’t forget that Sakata Port is within the sphere of influence of the Kira Navy. The Kira Army said that, at that time, Date, Mogami, Onodera, etc. can pat their butts and leave, and the main family will betray the Kira family again. The hatred of seizing the village will not be taken in by any of them, and the main family will be the first to die under the soldiers of the Kira family!Even if the family chooses to escape alive to a remote area north of Mutsu, it will inevitably lose the last chance to repeat the old collar!May I ask that by then, will you and others still be ministers of subjugation with this family?I will definitely kneel down in front of Kira's army and surrender immediately!
