A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 439 42. Uesugi was defeated and retreated to Kanto
It’s another New Year, but the scene in Xiao Pingtai’s house is far less cheerful than last year’s New Year.
It was also a New Year pig killing, so not only were there fewer people, but Yoshikatsu Yamauchi who was in charge of it was no longer there.
However, life must go on, and the atmosphere is still cheerful. Old father-in-law Hosokawa Harumiya and brother-in-law Hosokawa Kaina performed the bloodletting, while Imai Meigoro shaved the hair.
The yard where two large cast iron pots were set up was filled with smoke. One pot was cooking meat, the other was cooking big bone sticks.
Everyone was waiting for the pork miso soup to be served when Yoshimitsu Murakami walked in wearing a raincoat. Hosokawa Zaimei looked up and invited him to come and eat her brother-in-law's meat. Anyway, it's not mine, so I don't feel bad at all. Just be a good person for once.
Murakami Yoshimitsu greeted the samurai he knew along the way. Although he was only a samurai with a salary of 200 guan, he couldn't handle the fact that he was Kontaka, the leader's secret. Even if he didn't flatter him, at least he would greet him with a smile.
Murakami Yoshimitsu walked to the corridor, took off the raincoat, and handed it to the servant to hang it up. Xiaoping was too understanding and quickly invited people into the room, and then ordered Chen San to temporarily block outsiders.
Entering the house, Murakami Yoshimitsu took out a dozen wrapped letters from his arms. Mrs. Xiaoping didn't say much. She carefully checked whether the seal of each letter was intact, whether the code written on it was correct, and the direction from which it was sent.
After confirming with Murakami Yoshimitsu that everything was correct, Murakami Yoshimitsu no longer stayed because he knew what was appropriate. Staying with Yamauchi Yoshiji for the past two years, my eyesight has long been developed.
Although he probably knew that these letters were news from various places, he would not ask, and he did not want to learn more. In the past, it was presented to Yamauchi Yoshiharu, but now it is presented to Koheita. For him, it's just a change of submission.
When Yoshimitsu Murakami's footsteps could not be heard at all, Koheita found a paper knife and carefully cut open the letter along the middle seam of the secret message.
The first letter came from Minami Musashi, saying that it was a rare warm winter in Minami Musashi this year. Not only was there not much snowfall as expected, but some of the snow turned into water in the air before it fell.
Xiaopingta probably knew that this was just a normal situation in the Little Ice Age, with one year of severe cold and drought, and one year of warm winter and heavy rain. The alternating cycle will drag Da Meng to death in the days to come.
He shook his head and wrote down that there might be problems with the summer harvest in Minamimusashi next year. The overwintering wheat planted this year does not have enough snow water to moisten and keep it warm, and it will definitely be finished next year. It seems that the life of the Hojo family will not be easy next year, and they will be beaten again by Uesugi Teru.
In the second incident, Xiao Ping was amused. The Satake family sent a son to the Da Tuan family, but they had a biological son. With a backer of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan from the Satake family, the stepson who was sent to the Otaku family was actually run away.
Adou who can’t be helped! The Satake family is also a bit low-income. In this day and age, even the Hitachi Kingdom has not yet been unified. It can even be said that it is still far from unified. Let alone aspire to conquer the world, he is not even qualified to aspire to conquer Guandong, so just fish.
Koheita then made a second note, saying that the Satake clan might temporarily make peace with the Hitachi Oda clan and the Hojo clan next year in order to suppress the Edo clan and the Otsuki clan.
Lin Linzongzong glanced down, most of them were messy political and economic news, climate, water and soil, etc. There is only one letter left from Myohonji Temple on the Miura Peninsula, which should be news from the Satomi family.
After touching it, it was a bit thick and seemed to contain a lot of information. What big things can happen to Anfangguo in the year of Yonglu? Xiaoping thought about it for a while, but had no clue. He realized that Yi Yao would not die until Tianzheng.
Upon further reading, it turns out that Terutora Uesugi failed to siege Ota Iwafu Castle many years ago, and Yamauchi's family was in chaos, so he was asked to take care of his nephew. Therefore, Uesugi Teruhu had no choice but to leave Ota Zi to hold on to Daiyama Castle, leaving Minami Musashi as a thorn.
Originally we had to defend for a few months, but when winter came and it snowed heavily, no one could fight. Once the Uesugi Teruhora Echigo soldiers arrive next year, it will be over.
But this winter was mild and there was not much snow. The Hojo Army would not miss such a great opportunity and mobilized their troops to storm Daishan Castle.
Daiyama Castle is just a branch of Iwatsuke Castle, and it really can't hold it anymore. So he hurriedly asked for help from Tatebayashi Hirai's Amanza Kagemochi, the lower boss's Nakajo Toshio, the upper boss's Oyumi Norisumi, and the house boss's Satami Yoshiyao.
No one understands the principle of losing one's lips and losing one's teeth, not to mention that Ota was the last nail in the coffin for Uesugi Terutora in Minamimusashi. If Ota Shimasei is defeated, Uesugi Teruatora's Minami Musashi Strategy will completely collapse.
Therefore, the few people who got the news about Ota Zizheng did not hesitate, and each gathered their own troops to come to the rescue. Only Satomi Yoshiyao's side mobilized 8,000 people. Nakajo Fujisou, accompanied by Yori Junya, led more than 6,000 people to fly over, and only Ganzao Kagemochi sent 2,000 people, which was relatively small.
Ota Zizheng's military strategy was not bad. He abandoned Daishan City and gathered 2,000 troops to join the other three families. After piecing together, these few finally managed to draw out eighteen thousand people, ready to compete with the Hojo family.
Where to break up?
Guofu Taiwan!
At first, the coalition forces fought fiercely. First, they killed Toyama Tsunakage (one of the Edo generals), and then Masaka Tominaga, the horseback general of the Hojo clan, was also killed by Ota Shimasa. The more than 20,000 Hojo troops retreated steadily, breaking into two formations in a row.
But it is a pity that this is Oishi Shiteru's strategy to lure the enemy. Satomi Yoshihiro always felt that this Kanto used to be the boss of Hojo Ujiyasu and his second son, but now he is the boss of Uesugi Teruhora and his second son. He thought that defeating Oishi Teru was a piece of cake. After all, when he debuted, he had a rivalry with Oishi Teru's grandfather, Hojo Utsuna.
The Satomi army that fought the hardest was attacked by Hojo Ujinobu and Fujita Ujikuni, and collapsed. The front army pushed back the rear army, and the rear army fled. Ohta Shizheng was fighting well at first, but suddenly the front army collapsed.
The most exaggerated thing is that because they were attacked from three sides, the coalition soldiers had no choice but to rush towards Ichikawa.
The thin ice on the Ichikawa River could not withstand the trampling of the defeated army. It collapsed immediately after a few people ran away. The defeated troops in front had no way to retreat, but the routed troops in the back still surged forward.
You push and squeeze, there is no order. The Hojo Army deliberately drove the defeated troops to flee towards Ichikawa, adding fuel to the fire.
In the end, more than 5,000 allied troops drowned in the battle from Kokufudai to Ichikawa. Ichikawa was completely blocked by the drowned soldiers, and the Hojo Army achieved an incredible and brilliant victory.
Nakajo Fujitsu, Koyumi Norisumi and others only escaped with their lives and were forced to flee to Echigo. Satoshi saw that Yoshitaka Yoshihiro and his son had lost their troops and lost their generals.
Uesugi Teruhora's rule under Soso Minami Musashi completely collapsed, and there was no longer a force directly under Uesugi in the southern Kanto area.
The power of the Satomi family declined rapidly, and most of the retainers rebelled.
Since then, all the worries of the Hojo family have been lifted, and they can go north with all their strength.
