A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After Koheita returned to Yamauchi, the decisive battle between the Takanashi, Uesugi, and Yamauchi coalition forces against Takeda Harunobu never happened.

The rice and wheat have been harvested, and the winter barley and wheat have been planted in the ground. Everything is like calm water, even the flapping fish have hidden their bodies. For more than twenty days, it was another boring confrontation.

Even though Yamauchi Yoshiharu made rumors in Enji that he would mobilize his troops to attack Suruga, Takeda Harunobu showed no intention to withdraw his troops and stop fighting.

The Hojo clan was still very supportive of the Takeda family's ability to hold back Terutora Uesugi, so he willingly mobilized two thousand people to enter the Ankoku Temple area and demonstrated his relationship with the Takeda clan with practical actions. Because the Suruga warriors had died too many times in the past, it was really difficult to incite them to become hostile to the Takeda clan.

The Suruga people who were able to organize basically joined the Takeda clan's ranks, and the remaining able men were also recruited into the reserve team under Takeda Yoshinobu.

Even the brothers Okabe Motonobu and Okabe Masatsuna, who were dedicated to protecting the Lord, were actually incorporated into the Takeda clan's Suruga clan and Suijun clan respectively. They did not show the full effect of the Yamauchi clan's hope that he would win over him when he returned to the country. The effect of people working against the Takeda clan.

Takeda Harunobu's ambition for expansion is very strong, but he still has a face and knows how to distinguish the important. His grandson, Hikoro Imagawa, is fat and healthy, and has always been the nominal governor of the Imagawa family.

Even though all the daimyo in Japan knew that the Imagawa clan was finished and was nothing more than a puppet of Takeda Harunobu, the Imagawa family still existed on paper.

There is no excuse for others to attack the Suruga Imagawa clan. After all, they are the legitimate heirs who wrote the royal letter of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and preached it to the world.

How loyal can the Imagawa samurai be? The tallest batch was first cut by Oda Nobunaga, and then by Takeda Harunobu. The samurai are not real leeks. If you cut them off after two crops, the rest will be weeds.

There are a few truly loyal people who survive the waves but still have brains and are not foolishly loyal.

Okay! Since you, Takeda Harunobu, are willing to give away a grandson, we will really raise his son as Imagawa Yoshimoto and instill in him every day, "Your father's name is Imagawa Yoshimoto!" "You are not a Takeda retainer, you are the daimyo Imagawa Hikoro! "You are the shogunate's pro-vassal official!"...

Don't worry, the effect may not be visible for a while, but if Imagawa Hikoro grows up and reaches the age where he can govern. After being brainwashed by Motonobu Okabe, the only remaining loyal minister, something disgusting and bad might happen.

When choosing between power and family ties, the answer is self-evident.

Blood ties were the most unreliable thing during the Warring States Period. Tearful on the surface, stabbed in the back.

But there is no hope of stirring up trouble now. The second and fifth boys are now a grasshopper on the same rope as Takeda Harunobu, and the loyal ministers are also temporarily dormant to accumulate strength for the future.

Since Suruga couldn't help it, it was even more impossible for Kai. After more than twenty generations of management, Kai didn't know there was a general, only Takeda. This kind of basic structure is untenable unless they themselves are in internal strife and father and son, brothers, uncles and nephews are at war with each other.

Even Oda Nobunaga frantically issued an order for Takeda's arrest. He would rather have all Kai's samurai die and not be able to mobilize Kai's soldiers for ten or eight years. He also wanted to completely eliminate any possible resistance factors. .

As for the Shinano counties, the enthusiasm for resisting Takeda Harunobu is very high, especially the Oi clan and Uchiyama clan of Saku County. As long as the Takeda family shows flaws, they will rebel. Generations of people have been fighting against the rule of the Takeda clan.

It was precisely because of the resolute resistance of the Oi family that Takeda Harunobu acted very resolutely. The Ojing clan killed so many people that their family was wiped out. In a real sense of the word, there was no one who could become a monk. In order to prevent him from rising again, Takeda Harunobu did not even block his son, and would rather lose the most convenient way to unify the Oi retainers group.

As for the others, there was one who had the guts. Nishina Moriaki, the lord of Kuwabara Castle, and Uedahara joined forces to raise an army after the disastrous defeat of Takeda Harunobu. But this man was very stubborn and refused to turn around and become Yamauchi's retainer. He believed in his own strength. I think he can compete with Takeda Harunobu, but everyone already knows the result.

Kill all the people! I stuffed Wulang Shengxin and went to the step family door.

The rest are just grass on the wall, falling in whichever direction the wind blows. As long as Takeda Harunobu is not about to die, their stance is still somewhat firm. Of course, if the Takeda family shows signs of failure, there is still a chance to make adjustments.

Based on this calculation, the Takeda family's basic situation is quite stable, which is much better than that of Uesugi Teruhora who is either fighting the rebellion or on the way to fight the rebellion.

The Yamauchi family looked like they were in bloom, but compared to the Takeda family, there was a huge gap like a chasm. The number of Yamauchi's trusted warriors is less than one-third of the Takeda's trusted warriors. The Takeda family can still expand, but the Yamauchi family is already like overpriced diners. They don't have enough time to digest, and they can't eat anything at all. Something.

In such a comparison, Takeda Harunobu has the greatest chance of winning on Kawanakajima Island. Compared with the coalition forces that are several times stronger than him when they unite, they can be said to be "all united as one"!

Unless he reveals his flaws, the current confrontation will become the norm.

I just hate that I, Baizi Lian Fo Langji, haven't been able to fight yet. If I could fight now, would I still be afraid that he would just pay the city in the wild? A burst of saturated firepower was directed at him, causing his entire army to collapse.

As for the big tubes, I brought two of them, but they were of no use. Because it fires shotgun shells, its range is 30% shorter than that of a normal iron cannon.

There was no chance to appear at all. The Takeda family never took the initiative to attack and waited for the coalition forces to come up and do fortifications. If the big tube is far away, hit it. The sound and movement will be quite big, but it's useless. It didn't even hit a hair. He tried to push closer, but was directly hit back by the Takeda family's iron cannon.

It's useless!

Takanashi Masayori and Uesugi Terutora, who were somewhat fond of Takanashi Masayori and Uesugi Terutora when they first met, directly put the big tube into the row of silver wax gun heads. It seems that the big tube didn't even have a chance to appear in their territory, and they were dead. In the belly.

On the other hand, Takeda Harunobu opposite saw it clearly and wondered how he felt about Otsutsuki.

When the first snow fell, everyone knew that Kawanaka Island would not be defeated this year, but they did not dare to retreat for fear of being pursued.

In the end, the landlord Takanashi Masarai couldn't hold it in anymore and proposed a collegial discussion. Takeda Harunobu's conditions were extremely favorable. He burned Fucheng and the coalition forces came out with a big cannon.

He now has the initiative in the war. At worst, he will come back next year. There is plenty of wood in the mountain, so he can cut it down and rebuild it next year.

The morale of the coalition forces was low and they had to leave. Uesugi Terutora and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who admired the Buddha's machine, didn't care about Otsutsuki at all, and turned around and opened the door for Takeda Harunobu.

The Battle of Kawanakajima ended in vain.
