A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 343 2. Takeda’s litter of two and five children

Xiao Pingtai always felt that her home was crowded with guests, and every one of them came empty-handed, either bringing wine or snacks. There is always one meaning, take care of the food!

He glanced at the dozens of kilograms of bacon and sausages hanging under the eaves of the verandah with evil intentions.

The pigs were slaughtered that day, and only forty or fifty kilograms of meat was left. Xiao Pingtai doesn't know how to kill pigs, but she has salted bacon and stuffed sausages when her family was young, so she still has this skill.

It will definitely be a bit difficult for someone who has tasted meat to continue to be a vegetarian. The idiom "eat the marrow and know the taste" is very vivid!

Anyway, even Hosokawa Hariyu, who had almost no personal relationship with Koheita, took advantage of the influence of his father and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to follow her. It took him more than a week to chew on the big bone sticks of the eight pigs. That means it was really cold in Shinano in winter, otherwise there would be no way to preserve these fresh meats.

According to Koheita's estimation, before all the meat is consumed, the house will temporarily become half of the Yamauchi family's government affairs center.

Of course, it's not without its benefits. Xiaopingtai's place has become the most well-informed place in the mountains. Men like to brag when they drink. Although they won't say anything confidential, ordinary news will definitely be revealed for conversation.

Today, Isshiki Miyauchi and Hosokawa Harugong came together again. Isshiki Miyauchi, the elder of the pen family, obviously wanted to discuss something with Hosokawa Harugong, and also wanted to avoid crowded places. Naturally, it was the most convenient place for Xiaoheita, who was able to earn a living and was Hosokawa's son-in-law.

Logically speaking, he should definitely discuss it with Hobahata University, but Hobahata University went to Hamamatsu to build the city and was not in the mountains at the moment. The most scheming person left is definitely Xiaopingtai's old father-in-law, no one else.

What the two people discussed was not a big deal that was too shocking. Everyone remembered that the Holy Emperor of Luo Jing once gave Uesugi Teru the Sky Cup Sword. Give him a reason to crusade against the rebellious traitors with foreign ambitions, and get an excuse to send troops.

At that time, his main target of crusade was Hojo Ujiyasu, and he also received dual recognition from the imperial court and the shogunate. After he became the leader of Kantung, his rightful reputation as the leader of Kantung became even more solid. But before that, Hojo had supported Ogitani Uesugi Kensho, which was a bit disgusting.

So this time Uesugi Teruhora planned to send an envoy to Luo to let the Hojo family take one shot and attack the enemy. It would be best if the Hojo clan could be completely disgraced and become a despised existence in the world.

At the same time, Uesugi Terutora also suggested to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu that it would be difficult to kill Takeda Harunobu for the time being, so why not also treat him to a shot to attack the enemy. Make him feel sick and vent his anger.

Takeda Harunobu's wife, Mrs. Sanjo's father, Sanjo Kōri, died long ago, but no matter how bad the Sanjo clan is in Kyoto, they are still a bit thin. It is much harder to treat them to an enemy than the upstart Hojo family.

What's more, the Takeda Harunobu family has guarded Kai for more than 20 generations, and the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, just mediated the dispute between the two families in Takeda Mountain. Our great, glorious and correct General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is really not willing to slap himself in the face, so please take a shot at Harunobu Takeda.

Forget it, since Terutora Uesugi had ordered Kaichun to go out to Kanto, he himself couldn't leave for a while, so he hoped that Yoshikatsu Yamauchi would go to Luo in person. Help him to accommodate the shogunate and the court. After all, Yamauchi Yoshiharu had a very happy relationship with Ichijo Sekishi back then, and he almost married Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to the daughter of the Ichijo family.

Coupled with the fact that the shogunate is close to the feudal clan, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's reputation is now not much less than that of Uesugi Terutora.

However, the two of them were worried that Takeda Harunobu would attack in the early spring, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu would stay to command the battle regardless of whether he wanted to go to Rakujing or not.

Therefore, the two of them could not make up their minds about Uesugi Teruhora's request and needed to plan carefully.

By the way, theoretically speaking, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu should indeed go to Luojing in person. He has not yet been appointed Major General Ukonoe, who has been in his family for generations. According to the rules, when the new governor takes office, he should go to Luo to apply for appointment. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has been delaying this for more than half a year. This is also a big deal for the Yamauchi family who still attaches great importance to feudal traditions!

If the gold is used, this official will definitely not be able to escape. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is also concerned about whether to build momentum from a political perspective and public opinion if the Takeda clan cannot be solved by force.

The two uncles were holding Xiao Pingtai's sausages in their mouths. The more they drank, the more they got. Xiao Pingtai listened to the two of them bragging and couldn't say anything for the time being, so he could only pour the wine.

Teruhora Uesugi's idea definitely makes sense. If I can't kill you, I will make you stink. Doesn’t anyone understand the importance of public opinion warfare? It is an important part of the war.

"Your Excellency, are you worried that Kai will send troops after the feast, so it will be difficult for Your Highness to make the trip?"

"Koheita, do you have any ideas?" "Not yet." Koheita has no clever way to curb Takeda Harunobu's desire to conquer Shinano.

"Actually, it's not entirely true. You're still young, Xiaoheita, so you may not know very well." Hosokawa Harumiya had nothing to hide from her son-in-law.

We can call the Takeda clan's rule in Kai as the "Takeda Two Mountains" system.

The Takeda clan serves as the guardian in the middle, but the Oyamada Echichu Nobuyu of the Oyamada clan of Ganden Yamashiro in the prefecture and the Anayayama clan of Kawachi Shimoyama Castle and the Anayayama Izu Shonobuyu are Takeda Harunobu's uncles. They were all frightened by Takeda Nobutora and were forced to surrender.

Kaiguo is very straightforward, one-third are semi-independent people. The wind can come in, the rain can come in, but Takeda Harunobu can't!

Forget it, Itoto Huchang knows. The fuyu of Takeda Yoshinobu, the elder of the Takeda clan who leads the Suruga clan. Do you think he is loyal to Takeda?

not at all!

Between the first year of Kōroku (1530) and the first year of Tenmon (1532), this general of the Kai Takeda clan was a fierce man who united with the Suwa daimyo Suwa Yorimitsu to launch a large-scale rebellion and almost broke into the Tsugasakikan. The fierce man in the middle.

Of course, in the end, he was defeated by Takeda Nobutora and was beaten down and forced to surrender.

So in history, he simply supported Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion. Anyway, he and the Takeda family would not deal with each other. Who knows if he had the intention of taking advantage of the fire?

In addition, in the early days of Nobutora's rise to power, we might as well name them: Yukawa, Atobe, Kurihara, Oi, Imai, they were either directly involved or part of a group, and even the Yamagata clan, Naito clan, Akiyama clan, and Nagasaka clan , Tsuchiya clan are not clean.

The people in this round of Bao Yikui are all determined to kill Takeda Nobutora. Look at the surnames of the generals under Takeda Harunobu now. It goes without saying that the samurai who formed the regiment under his command were all guys who wanted to kill the Takeda family with swords or their descendants.

Even Takeda's close confidants, the Takekawa clan (which can also be called Takekawa-suji clan), think they are of the same mind as Takeda Harunobu?

But pull it down!

If you really want to be single-minded, why don't you send a letter dragon to the home of the Kahi Ichijo family, the leader of the Wuchuan flags, to be his son?

It might as well be said that after the Takeda family was destroyed by the people of Takeda, and later the Yanagisawa, Aoki, and Yonekura families, some people said that they protected the Takeda family, but it is unknown which son they protected.

The only thing that is clear is that they changed their owners when they changed their appearance. Not only did the above-mentioned Takegawa generals not die in battle, among the daimyo of the Edo shogunate alone, there were four clans from the three families above.

There are countless more bad things about the Takeda family as they go up. Hosokawa Harugong didn't even bother to talk about it because she couldn't finish it.

If you want the Takeda family not to send troops, you just need to give the Takeda family warriors a reason.

No matter how powerful Takeda Harunobu is, those who resist him are like a crucian carp crossing a river. If they take out an A4 paper to write, they will definitely not be able to finish it.

Even if it is not true that someone in the Takeda family will rebel and raise an army, as long as a little bit of news is released and the second and fifth sons of the Takeda family smell the fishy smell, Takeda Harunobu will not even dare to stick his butt out. You must stay in the mansion to prevent changes.
