A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 301 34. Takanashi Masaru Tsukuba
Yamauchi Yoshiharu's thinking is very clear. Kawanakajima is the "old territory" of Hokushin Nojo, headed by Takanashi Masayori under Uesugi Teruhora.
They originally wanted to occupy Kawanaka Island, and Terutora Uesugi was happy for this group of people to join his camp, even though they were actually Shinano natives under Yamauchi Yoshikatsu.
There was no legitimate reason for sending troops this time. It was just that the younger brother was beaten and the older brother came to help, that's all.
Will Takanashi Masayori guard Kawanakajima properly? The answer is without a doubt, he will!
Then he restored the main castle of Nakanokan and made a big jump from Iiyama Castle to the south. The Hokushinono people headed by him expanded their power to more than 40,000 kan.
If Takanashi Masayori wanted to hold on to such a large territory, it would be inappropriate for him to be stationed in Suinai County. He would have to move south to the main city.
The condition for Yamauchi Yoshiharu to recognize his status as the leader of the Hokusin nation is that he move the city to Kaijin Castle!
Takanashi Masayori quickly communicated with several of his cronies and his eldest nephew Uesugi Teruatora. Anyway, he is now determined to follow Uesugi Teruatora. He has no conflicts with the Yamauchi family. The Yamauchi family is also willing to admit that he is the fourth son of Kawanakajima. A territory of more than ten thousand people.
Takanashi Masarai agreed!
It's a pity that Kaijin Castle is still in the air, and there is nothing in Kaijin Plains. However, he is the key point to control the streets of Eboku and face the forces of Kuzuo Castle.
The Takanashi clan must rely on the Yamauchi clan and the Uesugi clan to quickly build a castle with sufficient defense capabilities, and later serve as the Uesugi clan's vanguard against the Takeda clan's attack in Shinano.
In this world, it is not terrible to be taken advantage of, but the most terrible thing is that there is no value in using it!
Of course Uesugi Terutora hopes that his uncle will be able to guard the back door for him, so that he can go to Kanto and visit the Hojo family with peace of mind.
The Yamauchi family cannot seize Kuzuo and consolidate Northern Shinano this time, so instead of bearing the pressure of being attacked from both sides, it is better for Takanashi Masayori to share part of the pressure and try their best to digest the two counties of Azum and Chikuma. Anyway, it is not a loss.
The plan has been decided, step by step.
Although Hokushin Nozo was ordered by Uesugi Teruhora to be the pioneer in this battle, the losses were not large and were insignificant compared to the gains. Naturally, he happily crossed the Chikuma River and arrived at Kaijinping first.
Not many of Uesugi Teruhora's Echigo members died, and most of them had made a fortune. They were very motivated to fight, and all of them were ready to go to Musashi Country to make a second fortune. Anyway, Koheita saw that the carriages and horses of Naoe Keizuna's more than a thousand little lotus pack heading towards Echigo were boundless. They could not see the edge at a glance. They were all trophies of the Uesugi army.
Yamauchi Yoshiharu sent 5,000 Yamauchi Yoshikatsu Mabu and Uesugi Teruhora to Ueno in accordance with the covenant, and at the same time asked Isshiki Miyauchi Shaosuke to lead 5,000 men to go south to guard against Takeda Harunobu at Kuzuo Castle in the south.
The remaining 13,000 people were not idle, and entered the Kaijin plains with the Northern Shinon clan. With the attitude of disgusting you to death even if I don't beat you to death, they helped Takanashi Masayori build the city.
But when they arrived at Kaijin, everyone discovered why Murakami Yoshikiyo had occupied this place for so long without even building a stronghold.
It is really flat, so peaceful. You can't even see a dirt bag that is twenty or thirty meters tall. It is a real large plain with an undulation of no more than one meter.
There is no danger at all, and there is nowhere to defend.
It takes countless human, material and financial resources to build a castle that can truly control disasters.
Looking at Takanashi Masarai who was frowning, Xiaoheita knew that he must be retreating crazily in his heart. How many troops would it take to build a city in such a place and defend it? 【Note 1】
The cities of the Warring States Period in Japan are different from the cities we conventionally recognize. Ninety-nine percent of them are military buildings, and a samurai basically has some knowledge of city building.
Firstly, it is "simple" to build a city, and secondly, no serious warrior has a "city" yet!
The kind of branch city that Takeda Harunobu defeated in two hours was really not as good as the landlord's compound that Uncle Tsunara used to have.
If we can take advantage of the dangerous mountain terrain, the difficulty of defense will be greatly reduced, and the number of garrison troops can be controlled within financial resources. Secondly, as long as the walled city is difficult to conquer, even if foreign enemies invade the territory, if you survive this wave, you will still be a hero.
But Haijin
If Takanashi Masayori was to gather eight thousand soldiers to defend the place at Kaijin like Kasaka Danmasa in history, it would be better to let him die. Of course it's okay to have 8,000 people with 40,000 guan, but what will they eat? What to use? After entering the city, can this flat terrain withstand a force attack with more than twice the force of Takeda Harunobu?
The Kasaka bomb has Takeda Harunobu at the back to provide a steady stream of blood transfusions, the troops can be rotated, and food can be collected.
However, Takanashi Masayori wants to be the master of his own country. He has to support his retainers and samurai, and he may also have to fight with Uesugi Teruhora.
All in all it seems very uneconomical.
"Xiaoheita, even in my opinion, Kaijin cannot be built as a city." Uncle Tsuna Liang didn't know when he arrived next to Xiaoheita.
This time, Uncle Tsunaliang was assigned to the Ejiri clan and was divided into several parts for use, but he did not achieve any great achievements.
"Well, from a normal perspective, it's really not that good." Xiao Pingtai nodded in agreement.
However, as the annexation war raged on, small forces disappeared one after another, and the daimyo were no longer limited to the three-acre land in their own valleys. The grand and magnificent Pingcheng was the mainstream method of city building in the future.
Even if it is not a complete flat castle, it will be built in the form of a flat mountain castle. This was used to bring together town residents, develop industry and commerce, expand one's own financial resources, and implement centralized housing for retainers.
Kodaira estimated that Takanashi Masayori was worried about money, but where would the return come from without the investment?
Moreover, Takanashi Masayori was very resourceful in history. Uesugi and Takeda worked on Kawanakajima five times, and Amida Tathagata, which attracted countless money, was finally snatched by Takeda Harunobu.
Takanashi Masarai also understood the importance of these wooden and clay sculptures, so he rushed into Zenkoji Temple and rolled up all the Buddhist instruments of other Buddhas. A branch temple of Zenkoji was built in Echigo, attracting a large number of people and building a prosperous Monzenmachi.
Therefore, Kodaira is not prepared to comment on this. Takanashi Masarai is by no means an idle person. He is only temporarily hit by the issue of terrain.
As long as he can come back to his senses, he can build a town that connects Nakasendo Road and Hokoku Street. At the same time, two Buddhist statues and ritual objects were brought here to build a sub-temple of Zenkoji Temple. The flow of people coming to worship from Kanto Koshin and Tokai will definitely gather in Kaijin.
As long as the city is built, the city can be used to protect the castle town, and the castle town can be used to support the city. If it can endure the development period of the past few years, Takanashi may be able to reach a higher level.
[Note 1]: Kosaka is currently in Kaijin Castle, guarding the northern frontier for the Takeda family. Firstly, Uesugi Teruhora poses a great threat, and secondly, Kaijin is indeed easy to attack and difficult to defend, so even if Takeda Harunobu sends troops to Luo, he still has enough left. Eight thousand people defended Haijin City. Of course, this is a mobilizable force, not a regular standing force. If there are 8,000 standing forces, even if the Kasaka bombs are sold, they can't afford it.
