A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 593 55. The times are not good but the good will never fade away
When Imagawa Yoshiuchi took over the Suruga clan, the original Makino clan transformed into the Suruga clan. Our Yuanjiang garrison did not remove their armor or unsaddle their horses, and took more than 2,000 people to Matsuno Castle to remotely control the Hojo clan's soldiers at Xingokuji Temple.
Naturally, the newly acquired Sunfu Castle would not be handed over to the old Takeda Imagawa ministers who still did not trust him. On behalf of Iwase Motomasa, the high-ranking castle was renamed as the lord of Takamatsu Castle in Sunshu and served as the governor of Takamatsu Castle. Sunfu Castle Generation. He replaced Imagawa Yiqin to guard Junfu to prevent Xiaoxiao from causing trouble.
The sister of the lord of Futama Castle, Tsunayō Koji, was conferred the title of 5,500 kan to Toyoda County, Enshu, and assumed the role of Hamamatsu Castle lord as the lord of Futama Castle. To put it bluntly, she was prepared in advance for Koheita's adoptive brother, the original Jigoro Yamauchi. He became a couple with Uncle Tsuna's youngest daughter, married his aunt as a nephew, and became his grandfather's son.
Of course, Uncle Tsunade still has to handle state affairs in the palace and cannot stay in Hamamatsu for a long time. It is rare to find a master who is good at handling civil affairs. You can find samurai who can kill people, but it is really hard to find samurai who can handle civil affairs.
Because of his ability in handling affairs, Fukuchi County Secretary Kawabe Ianobu was promoted to Chief Minister of Hamamatsu, and handled the civil affairs of the country on his behalf as Shiyakukan Chiyuki of Mitsuru Township, Iwata County.
The entire army dispersed after the destruction of Sunfu Castle, including the Takanashi Army, which continued to plunder eastern Abe County for a while, and happily retreated back home. Only the Yamauchi headquarters was left with 5,500 troops ready to go to Hachioji to observe the battle.
Koheita is also protecting Taro Yamauchi and preparing to return home. The great cause of destroying Takeda has already been hung on Taro Yamauchi's head. He does not need to continue to do the remaining finishing work. The ministers can do it for him.
The eighth prince and so on were secondary, the main thing was the head of Takeda Yoshinobu.
Hosokawa Zaimei takes the flag to join the battle, so the problem shouldn't be too big.
As for the Kanto area, due to Uesugi Kenshin leading the Ueno people to storm the various branch cities of Kitamusashi, Fukaya, Kisai, Yamane and other cities fell successively in a short period of time. When the Yamauchi family besieged Uehara Castle, Uesugi Kenshin finally also besieged Ninja Castle.
Hojo Uji Naonori, with the assistance of Fujita Ujikuni, gathered an army of 22,000 to rescue Ninja Castle. Both sides lined up along the important ferries and tidal flats of the Arakawa and Tone Rivers.
One of the generals on the Uesugi side performed extremely well, and it was Uesugi Kagetora who was making his first appearance at the age of sixteen. In place of his father, Uesugi Kagenobu, he commanded the Koushi Castle Qiyoshi clan and launched a forceful attack on Ninja Castle. He fought with Narita clan retainer Sakemaki in front of a certain formation, and defeated the Otemon no Kiki of Ninja Castle.
Along with him, Fujita Nobuyoshi, who was in the first formation, fought with him into the Ninja Castle with two swords. Uesugi Saburo was wearing a powerful Iyoza black fish scale body, and he danced with a spear like an airtight weapon.
The Uesugi soldiers are also Echigo's strong soldiers who have been fighting with Uesugi Kenshin for many years. They will be brave and strong, and they can attack everything.
In just a few moments after breaking through the Otemon gate, Uesugi Saburo Kagetora killed eleven enemy soldiers. His heroic appearance made even the veterans standing around Uesugi Kenshin sigh.
Especially Uesugi Kagenobu's face was glowing, his son had made him look good. Isn't this look like what Uesugi Kenshin looked like when he was young?
The two even have the same name, Kagetora!
Due to Uesugi Kagetora's brave attack, Ninja Castle, with many branch towns fallen, was completely under siege by Uesugi's army. Although the Hojo clan's reinforcements were on the side, they were unable to enter the city immediately across the rolling waters of the Tone River. In addition, Narita Nagatada personally appeared to speak out, hoping that the city would surrender, and the entire Ninja City was under a dark cloud.
When Takeda Yoshinobu Uehara was defeated in the Battle of Kago, the news that Yamauchi Takanashi's allied forces of 4,500 and 5,000 cavalry were about to attack arrived, and Ninja Castle collapsed completely with its last breath.
Regardless of his seventy-five-year-old age, Narita Choyasu personally left the city in order to release the head of the Narita clan to the Hojo clan, and welcomed Narita Chotada into the city to succeed him as governor of the Narita clan.
When the news came, the Hojo Army couldn't help but panic. Especially within two days, the Oishi clan commanded more than a thousand remaining soldiers and fled to Musashi. The Takeda family fell, the Yamauchi army entered Kaibi, and various situations of arresting the Takeda clan and important officials were placed in front of the Hojo clan.
Faced with the all-conquering Kashin, the Yamauchi clan can immediately join forces to attack. Hojo Naoya never expected that they had the same idea as Sugini, and Suwa would definitely be lost. As for Kai, even if the tiger dies, Takeda Yoshinobu will definitely be able to survive.
In the end, I never imagined that the Takeda family would collapse. In just over ten days, the Kai Takeda clan, the most famous family in the world, would be finished.
The Hojo Army, which was confronting the Uesugi Army in Matsuyama Castle, was in a dilemma. The miscellaneous fish of the Kanto people were not scary, but as long as they did not have the support of Uesugi Kenshin, they would be their little brothers. But the Yamauchi family is completely different. The Kōshin elite soldiers are famous all over the world. If the reinforcements of 45,000 cavalry are really coming from Kōbi into Musashi, then the Hojo family will have no choice but to go back to Odawara Castle.
But Odawara was dismantled by Uesugi Kenshin long ago. After slowly recovering over the years, it is still far from its original glory.
Sue for peace!
Oishi Shiteru saw with his own eyes the chaos in which the people of the Kai country rose up in large numbers to demand the death of Takeda's retainers. He has a very clear understanding of the Yamauchi clan who dominates Kaido.
In addition, he had replaced the Hojo clan for many years and had high prestige in the Hojo family. As soon as the Oishi clan opened his mouth, many Hojo retainers expressed their support. Regarding the defeat of Ninja City, the issue of suing for peace is inevitable and can be seen more clearly.
As for the remaining Hojo retainers, most of them also expressed concerns about this matter. Although Fujita Clan has a strong temperament, he is far less flexible than his brother Oishi Teru, and he also knows that it is not useful to just carry him to death at this time.
Although he was dissatisfied with the peace talks, he had no objections. He is tough, but he is not a fool.
What's more, there is a ready-made intermediary on the opposite side. Their good brother Uesugi Kagetora is serving as a general in the Uesugi camp, and it is said that he is deeply loved by Uesugi Kenshin.
Just as he was hesitating to consider who would be suitable to go to Uesugi Kagetora, news came that Takeda Yoshinobu had withdrawn to Hachioji.
As the brother-in-law of the Hojo family, Takeda Yoshinobu almost knelt down before him, almost begging the Hojo family to help him out quickly, otherwise Takeda would be doomed.
At this time, the Hojo clan could not tolerate waiting, and immediately sent his uncle Oishi clan Teru into the Uesugi camp, and asked Uesugi Kagetora to act as an intermediary to negotiate peace with Uesugi Kenshin.
After conquering Ninja Castle and supporting the loyal horse boy Narita Nagatada, the Uesugi clan once again gained a bridgehead in Kitamushi, and the Ueno country, which was always under threat, was temporarily in peace.
One of Uesugi Kenshin's strategic goals has been achieved, and another strategic goal is naturally to rescue the Shimono generals from the control of the Hojo clan.
Uesugi Kenshin hesitated about the Hojo clan's request for peace. Today's situation suddenly favors Uesugikata. A behemoth Yamauchi family appears next to the Hojo clan, directly threatening the Hojo clan's rule over Sagami country.
Of course, the Hojo family came to envoy, and the Yamauchi family also came to request Uesugi Kenshin to hold off Hojo's army so that Yamauchi would have enough time to defeat the Eighth Prince and kill Takeda Yoshinobu.
After thinking about his nephew's request, Uesugi Kenshin decided for a moment that he would not go to Shimo for the time being. Instead, he would march to Matsuyama and form a confrontation with the Hojo clan. They would talk and fight at the same time to help the Yamauchi clan buy time.
When the panicked Takeda defeated army fled into Hachioji, only seven or eight hundred people were left, and only 1,300 civilians were forced into the city. Facing the tens of thousands of Yamauchi troops under the city, Takeda Yoshinobu could only look up to the sky and sigh.
"Strengthening the mountain, the world is overwhelming. The times are unfavorable, but the glory will not fade away. The glory will not fade away, but there is nothing you can do! The danger is there, there is nothing you can do!"
