A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Kaijin Castle was the predecessor of Matsushiro Castle, one of the top 100 famous cities in Japan. It must make sense for Mori Nagato to choose Kaijin as his residence when he received the 200,000 koku title of Kawanakashima.

Koheita looked at the terrain, ran to Yamauchi Yoshiharu and said, "If you don't follow the mountains, follow the water."

Yamauchi Yoshiharu just glanced at Chikumaikawa and immediately understood what Koheita meant. He turned around and claimed that this method was his own, and then used it to sell favors to Takanashi Masayori.

It is not necessary to dig a canal, there is no need to consider the navigation conditions, and to divide the water and set up locks. Takanashi Masarai listened to Yamauchi Yoshiharu's suggestion and reacted.

Then Takanashi Masarai took a strong bow and fired several arrows to the left and right, and then asked someone to take a big wooden stick and drive piles directly where the arrows landed.

Sure enough, the range of truth is only within the range of cannons, no, the scale of fortification is only within the range of bows, arrows and iron cannons.

Then a moat is dug around the area fixed by wooden stakes. Since there is no danger to defend, the moat must be more than ten meters wide and three meters deep. With this moat, thousands of people can easily come and play.

So the soldiers who had just been holding guns and knives all became engineering teams and were sent to dig holes. Yamauchi Yoshiharu was also willing to help Takanashi Masayori quickly complete the city defense.

Murakami Yoshikiyo, on the other hand, recuperated a bit and then was driven on the road. Yamauchi Yoshinori and Uesugi Terutora each gave 500 kan to Mibuchi Fujitaka, and Takanashi Masayori also gave 10 war horses, 100 pieces of colored silk, and 12 tachi swords as gifts of thanks to the general.

These assets were enough for Ashikaga Yoshiteru to hold a magnificent prisoner presentation ceremony. For Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who valued face and feudal decency most, it was another good opportunity to strengthen the prestige of the shogunate.

He will definitely publicize that under his wise leadership, the campaign against the evil Murakami clan was a great success. The samurai of the Eastern Kingdom followed his orders one after another, and the shogunate's decrees were passed everywhere. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Moreover, Murakami Yoshikiyo had another unfortunate misfortune. All his adult sons died, but the retainer Deuramori escaped from death carrying his youngest son Murakami Takeomaru on his back in the chaos.

This person was probably the famous Uesugi Kagekuni. Murakami Takemaru, who was only twelve years old, paid homage to Yamauchi Yoshiji without being humble or arrogant. He neither begged for mercy nor was angry. At least he was very strong in his heart.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu fell in love with him at first sight, and Murakami Yoshikiyo's son was indeed not a bad guy. Not only were he given war horses, armor, and swords as gifts, but he also asked Mibuchi Fujitaka to take care of this person, making sure that Ashikaga Yoshiteru showed mercy beyond the law.

Due to the fall of Kuzuo Castle, the Murakami clan was unwilling to surrender. Takeda Harunobu's retainers heard the news that Murakami Yoshikiyo was alive and came to seek refuge one after another.

Qingye Qingxiu, who was detained by Yamauchi Yoshihiro, was quickly released, and had a good relationship with Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Then his son-in-law Murakami Yoshimitsu and his family's old man Dai Masakuni each brought dozens of remnant soldiers to surrender. In just a few days, more than 200 soldiers and horses and dozens of samurai gathered around Murakami Yoshikiyo. If it hadn't been for the Murakami clan's elder Rakuganji Masakata surrendering to the Takeda clan, there might have been more troops.

On the one hand, Yamauchi Yoshiharu was afraid. The Murakami family was really famous in Kitakoshino. Even at this stage, there were still so many diehards. On the other hand, Yamauchi Yoshiharu also really wanted to annex such a strong group of retainers. He couldn't say that he was salivating, but he was really happy to see him.

Koheita knew that Yamauchi Yoshiharu must have a conspiracy to care so much about Murakami Takeomaru, but this matter had to be discussed in the long run.

Murakami Yoshikiyo's four sons and one son-in-law died in one day, his family fortune was completely lost, and he was severely hit. Fortunately, he still had a son who escaped. Although he still had some ambitions, his ambitions were now focused on saving this son's life and preserving the Murakami family name.

After asking his good in-law, Takanashi Masagi, to "borrow" two hundred guan, and dispatching most of the miscellaneous soldiers, Murakami Yoshikiyo took his son, son-in-law, and the most loyal thirty or forty retainers to the capital to apologize.

As for his handling, it depends on the final decision of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, our wise and powerful, magnanimous and courageous, strong-willed public servant who handles affairs fairly and justly.

The progress of the trenches at Kaizu Castle was also very fast, and Takeda Harunobu in the south also discovered the situation of Kaizu Castle. Many troops were sent over to test the situation, but Isshiki Gonguchi fiercely pushed back, so they temporarily stopped their troops. Takeda Harunobu needed to suppress the old Murakami Party in Sarawak County and Ukko County, and digested these two counties, and was very busy.

When Kaijin's outer construction project was basically completed, news from Kanto also came.

Terutora Uesugi joined more than 2,000 people from Usami Sada, followed by the Hirai clan of Kanza Kagemochi and the Minawa clan of Nagano Yamasa, and with a bang, they pulled up an army of more than 30,000 people.

He observed the situation and found that the attack on Tatebayashi Castle was not too strong, but Hachioji Castle had been under siege for twenty days and was somewhat critical.

So he immediately moved his troops to Musashi Country. After all, Tatebayashi City was owned by itself and could not be robbed, but Musashi Country could rob it without restraint. It is self-evident why he saved the eighth prince first.

Narita Chotasu, the leader of Northern Musashi, welcomed the king's division. Not only did he send troops and food, but he also helped Uesugi Teruhora once again persuade the shameless Matsuyama Castle lord Ueda Asanao to surrender.

This time, Terutora Uesugi directly released Ueda Asanao and appointed his son Ueda Sadatori as the city lord. However, he actually appointed his close friend Kawada Nagauchi as the supervisor of Kitamushi, thus bypassing the Ueda clan and completely taking Matsuyama Castle into his hands. inside.

The Hojo soldiers of Hachioji couldn't sit still. The Hojo brothers cheered and dragged them, and brought 25,000 people north to fight Uesugi Teruhora.

Unfortunately, fate is not as good as fate. Hojo Tango Shou Takahiro and his son, who were forced to surrender to the Hojo clan a few years ago, defected before the battle. They revolted anyway and joined the Uesugi clan.

The entire Hojo Army was in commotion, and was violently beaten from the flank by Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's raiding cavalry. Nagano Yasumasa, who was facing the front, showed off his power and led the Minawa troops in a fierce charge. Uesugi Teruhora didn't even make a move, and the Hojo Army was beaten until they cried. Father called mother, and ran all the way to Heyue City.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is now well-known in Dongguo. His younger brother chose a military department that emphasized firepower, and he chose a military department that focused on rapid maneuvering and powerful raids, and they embarked on two different paths.

In this battle, he killed the Takeda clan's governor, Dewa Moriyu, and the Hojo army's queen, the Iwafu Ota clan, were known to everyone in Kanto. The young master of the Yamauchi family was very fierce and had begun to call him "Ghost". Shinano".

Uesugi Teruhora then used a move called Shenlong Tail, letting go of the panic-stricken Kagotsu Castle, and inserted himself into Kaso, gathering Mizutani Masamura, Taga Tsumagasou, Koyumi Yorijun, Nakajo Fujisei and Satomi Yoshiyao caught Yuuki Haruka and Chiba Yinfu and beat them violently.

All the younger brothers grabbed a lot of money, and their respect for him as the leader of the alliance increased greatly, recovering from last year's riots.

This wasn't the end yet. After Mr. Bo's people settled down, Uesugi Teruhu turned to Hitachi again. With an arrow that penetrated the clouds, Satake Yoshiaki, Edo Shigetsu, and Otsuki Sadakuni all rushed over.

Everyone worked together to catch Oda Ujiharu, the lord of Hitachi Oda Castle, doing crazy damage, robbing and taking away, and beat Oda Ujiharu to the point where he abandoned the city and ran away to seek refuge in Tsuchiura Castle.

Now Ueno, Shimono, Shimotsou, Kamizou, Anfang, Hitachi, and Musashi all confirmed once again that Uesugi Terutora's thighs are very hard, and you can make a fortune by following him!

Even Ota Shisei re-entered the Musashi Kingdom under the auspices of Uesugi Terutora, restored many territories, and began to feel disgusted with the Hojo clan.

Terutora Uesugi returned to Echigo with satisfaction and countless trophies, ending his victorious Kanto expedition.

The army in the mountain didn't show much nostalgia, so it was natural for me to return him.
