A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Before Xiaodaira's pair of chopsticks fell down, Xiaono, who was handing them the chopsticks, suddenly remembered: "Hosokawa Harumiya-sama wanted to meet Danzheng, and asked me to come back and tell Danzheng that I should go there when I have time in the past few days. Hosokawa House.”

After Xiao Nai said this, how could Xiao Pingtai still use her chopsticks? The future cheap father-in-law summoned her. Although she was not in a hurry to meet him, she couldn't delay it.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier to get my bamboo hat and cloak?" Xiaopingtai clapped his hands and stood up. Since Hosokawa Harugong wanted to see him for something, she'd better go there and get him there quickly.

Soon, Xiao Nai and Chen San brought all kinds of things they needed to go out. First, Xiao Heita put on kapok socks, and then put on a newly cut coat made of thick cotton. After tying the cloak, Tatsumi also warmed up his deerskin military boots.

Xiao Pingtai and Chen San put on their bamboo hats, and Chen San also carried a paper umbrella and his straw bag. The two of them went out in a hurry. It was unclear whether they were in a hurry to see Hosokawa Harugong or in a hurry to eat the chicken noodle soup and barbecue that Tatsumi had just bought and was cooking.

Fortunately, Hosokawa's house is not far away, just a few steps away. As soon as Chen San knocked on the door, the servant inside welcomed Xiao Pingtai in.

Xiaoheita didn't show up, so she naturally sat face to face with Hosokawa Harugong next to the fire pit. It wasn't cold at all. The servants left after serving the hot tea. Hosokawa Harugong waited for Xiaoheita to warm her hands before she spoke slowly.

"I haven't been here for a while. Are you busy with business?"

"Are you there then? I recently went to look at the property of the residents in the area and found a lot of gains." Xiao Pingtai quickly put down the warm teacup in his hand and answered seriously.

"It's naturally good to care about farming. Have you ever understood the war in Beixin?" Hosokawa Harumiya still looked that leisurely.

"Murakami or Takeda?" "Murakami." "I'd like to hear the details." Koheita only knew that Murakami Yoshikiyo failed to bring down Takanashi Masanoori. It was snowing and we couldn't fight. He just stopped the troops temporarily.

Hosokawa Harugong then spoke eloquently, needless to mention Murakami Yoshikiyo, Takanashi Masarai was entrenched in Minai County and Takai County, and was powerful. After Shinano's guardian Ogasawara Nagasaki was beaten away, the only one left in Kitano Shinano who could challenge Murakami Yoshikiyo was Takanashi Masayori.

The Takanashi clan and the Murakami clan are also old rivals. They have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. But this time the hostility between the Takanashi family and the Murakami family has something else in it, which is worth recalling.

As we all know, Teru Uesugi’s cheap dad is now named Kenmasa Uesugi, but his original name is Miao. In fact, the long tail can provide scenery - the long tail is the scenery - the long tail scenery tiger, and this is the case for three generations.

The pedigree of Takanashi Masayori is Takanashi Masataka - Takanashi Masamori - Takanashi Seyori - Takanashi Masayori.

This is not a secret thing. You and I are all hanging out in Shinano. Except for Xiaoping Tai Er Dao, who is not very familiar with it, everyone is basically familiar with it.

The reason why I introduce this is because the daughter of Takanashi Masamori is the wife of Nagao Nokage. The daughter of Nagao Nokage, Nagao is Kage's sister and the wife of Takanashi Masayori.

The relationship is a bit complicated, but in short, Takanashi Masayori is a relative with the same blood as Terutora Uesugi. Takanashi Masayori is probably Terutora Uesugi's aunt and uncle, so he's very close anyway.

This time, the Takanashi clan also joined the Izumi, Odagiri, Suda, Shimazu and other wealthy Northern Shin clans in raising troops. This group of people were hostile to the Echigo Nagao clan during Nagao Mikai's era, but later Nagao Mikai led Takanashi Sumyori to fight with this group of people, and after they were all defeated, they were mediated by others. Collegial.

Now this group of people is also facing the aggressive offensive posture of the Murakami family. Previously, small and medium-sized wealthy families such as Tojo, Terao, Omuro, Inoue, Tsunashima, and Kiyono finally could not withstand the power of Murakami Yoshikiyo, and were gradually incorporated into Murakami Yoshikiyo's group. Under his command.

Now this group of people from Mizunai County and Takai County really couldn't sit still. The Nagao family was originally in chaos, but at the worst time, Nagao Harukage was the only one left in the Neck City County, who was even worse off than they were. But now Uesugi Teruhu is richer, and the Kanto Governor has taken charge of it. He has several territories in his hands, which belong to Jin Shining's thigh.

So Takanashi Masarai took this group of people and directly contacted Uesugi Teruhora. He didn't care about other hotties, but Takanashi Masarai, his uncle, always had to take care of it. Maybe Uesugi Terutora's aunt complained to him personally. Can I not help her?

In addition, Murakami Yoshikiyo has never stopped making small moves before, and even had a battle with Uesugi Terutora in Kamikawa. Teruhora Uesugi can't take care of Kanto Kraft Candy, so he can't take care of you, Yoshikiyo Murakami?

So Takanashi Masarai, who had received the guarantee of Uesugi Teruhora's backup, gathered his friends and started an army directly, making it clear that he would fall out with Murakami Yoshikiyo. Terutora Uesugi was also kind enough. Soldiers from the Echigo Momoi clan and the Kachi clan gradually entered Iiyama Castle as backup for Takanashi Masayori.

In the end, even Kojima Sadaki led Uesugi Terutora's three hundred banners across Asahiyama Castle, advanced to Nakanokan, and confronted Murakami Yoshikiyo across the Chikuma River and Saikawa River.

At this time, Takanashi Masarai's power increased, and the number of troops gradually increased to more than 4,000 people. The 7,000 people who came to suppress them with Murakami Yoshikiyo were fighting back and forth, which was very lively.

When Koheita followed Yamauchi Yoshikatsu in a fierce battle in Kiso Valley, Takanashi Masayori and Murakami Yoshikiyo also fought fiercely.

In the end, the fight lasted for more than a month, with neither side winning or losing. Takanashi Masayori also crossed the Chikuma River to temporarily build Katsurayama Castle, severely knocking back the tentacles of Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Having said so much, Koheta also realized that Teru Uesugi has two paths to take next year.

The first is to march to Kanto and deal with the disgusting Uesugi Kensheng and Hojo Uji Nao as much as possible. Even if you can't clean it up, you still have to go into Musashi and Shimoso to get a vote to make up for the losses caused by the drought that Echigo suffered this year. By the way, let out a breath of bad breath to dampen the arrogance of the Hojo clan.

The other one was to support Takanashi Masayori's group, break into Northern Shinano, and cut off one of Murakami Yoshikiyo's arms. Seizing Zenkoji, an important financial source, and taking back part of the territory of Echigo Kingdom occupied by Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Anyway, he has a righteous reputation on both sides, needless to say, Guandong. It was his duty to protect Echigo when he took back Echigo's territory. He was invited to go to Shinano's Mizunai and Takai by his uncle Takanashi Masayori. He came here to hoe the strong and help the weak.

The reasons are majestic and flawless.

"His Royal Highness, the governor of Kasugayama, is ready to intervene in Shinano's affairs?" Koheita asked tentatively.

"It's hard to say yet. The young master has shouldered the responsibility of guarding Shinano. If Mrs. Nagao pulls the strings, maybe next year he will be the governor of Shinno." Hosokawa Harumiya was not sure how this matter would turn out in the end, so she roped in Koheita. Come and discuss it.

"I wonder what my lord and Shinshu Mamoru are thinking?" Kodaira estimated that there would be a bloody storm in Shinano next year.
