A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 614 20. Although Takeda is dead, loyal ministers are still there

Ueno's situation quickly spread to the Kofu formation. After reading the news, Koheita asked someone to forward it to the rear army of Suwa Uehara, Taro Yamauchi, and discussed it with Konishihara Zaemon.

"The troops in the Mangqiao Formation cannot be maintained for a long time because of the lack of food supplies."

"Is it possible that such a large state in Shangzhou doesn't even have military rations and rice for January and February?" Konishiharazaemon said that even in a place like Kofu, which is full of forest, there is no shortage of food. How come there was no disaster or military attack last year? Ueno has become like a bird.

"I guess there really isn't one in the Minirun Hall, so why are those two Higashino Ueno like this..."

The Nagano family is only the largest group in the Nishi Ueno National People's Congress. The rest of the generals are all son-in-law Kaomi, half retainers at most, and they are all kept together by the death of Nagano Yamamasa who can give birth to a daughter.

According to the practice of the Warring States Period, as an ally, I send troops to rescue you. I am only responsible for the food on my way there. When I arrive in your formation, I should eat your food.

Nagano Yamori himself was not a rich lord. This time he summoned an army and wanted to provide for his ten brothers-in-law. It's not necessarily a case of being stretched thin, but it's definitely true that there's a lot of money to be had.

Even if he has a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, he can't hide too much. After all, everyone can understand the simplest truth. If Ueno is here, the family business will be there, and next year's rice will be just as delicious. If Ueno is lost, the family fortune will be lost. Next year, everyone will either be Hojo's dog or eat the cold rice donated by Uesugi Kenshin.

How to choose, Nagano Yamori and his family boss Uizumi Hidetsuna must know clearly.

Hojo Takahiro was stationed at Amabashi as the reserve team for Uesugi Kenshin to take the lead every time he went out to Kanto. He did not actually deal with the civil affairs of Higashi-Ueno. To put it bluntly, he was a death squad that opened the way for Uesugi Kenshin every time. It was impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to do so. Give him too much power. No matter how arrogant Uesugi Kenshin is for a person who once raised an army to launch a rebellion, it is impossible for him to not be wary at all.

As for Amanza Keagemochi, who is the acting official who handles Uesugi Kensei's Higashi-Ueno fifty-mankan nursing home, you say he has no food in his hands?

After Uesugi Kenshin abdicated in Kamakura, he only received money and rice worth 20,000 guan from Uesugi Kenshin as a pension every year. In addition to supporting the forty or fifty retainers he brought to Echigo, Uesugi Kensei had no military obligations, nor did it need to build a city for general solicitation. It just sufficed to eat and drink happily every day.

Just like in history, he had children with the maids in the side chamber one after another. After Echichi, Shiro Hikaru had three sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Kenshin Uesugi once said that she would be betrothed to Taro Yamauchi. Anyway, she is over forty, and she will have five babies in ten years. This speed is definitely not bad.

He had never taken care of the annual tribute collection in Higashi-Ueno, and Uesugi Kenshin would not let him take care of it. He deliberately eliminated the traces of Uesugi Kenshin in Ueno. After all, the current leader of Kanto is Uesugi Kenshin, which is completely understandable.

Amanza Kagemochi was actually the supreme ruler of Higashi-Ueno and the representative of Uesugi Kenshin. Apart from preparing the first installment of food for Uesugi Kenshin to go to Kanto every year, he didn't have much expenses at all.

The battle was fought by Uesugi Kenshin with his Kanto brothers. Uesugi Kenshin went to Hojo's house to steal the food. Building a city cost money, but it was only a few dollars that Uesugi Kenshin brought back every time he grabbed a handful. .

Last year, although there was another big battle in Kanto around Kita Musashi and Shimono, Ueno did not fall into the flames of war. As for sending troops, during the Warring States Period in Japan, in which year did Japan not send troops?

Is the Scrooge personality really contagious?

"Zaemon, if this is not the case, you and I will jointly sign a letter to Amabashi, stating that we borrowed it from Yamauchi. We will wait until His Highness, the commander of the war in Vietnam and China, comes back to make a decision."

"Okay, I write and you write?" Konishiharazaemon agreed.

"I'll write it, and you'll sign it."

Just as he was writing, Qi Gui walked to the door and said he had something to report.

"We have an idea, let's get it right!"

"Why do you have any clues?"

"The son of Itagaki Suruga Mamoru, the Takeda clan's general, Itagaki Nobunori, was recognized in Ogihara Township, Yamanashi County!"

"This person? This person was not killed in Suwa Uehara?" Kodaira didn't react for a moment.

Speaking of which, Itagaki Nobunori, the aide-de-camp, was closely related to Koheita. When Uedahara joined forces, Koheita wanted to kill Itagaki Nobukata. Even though Itagaki Nobukata was over sixty at the time, Itagaki Nobunori was only twelve years old at the time (historical fact).

Even if Takeda Shingen wants to immediately appoint his teacher's children, it is simply impossible. A twelve-year-old child, according to the status of the Itagaki family, needs a county magistrate to start his family. If you ask him to manage a state and county with tens of thousands of people, isn't it a joke?

This matter was suppressed at the time, and the next year, Kai's veterans raised the matter with Takeda Shingen. Itagaki Nobukata cares deeply about you, but you can't ignore his children.

As a result, the youngest generals in the Takeda Shingen era were born, and there were two of them. The other one was Gan Li Changzhong. Their fathers died in battle on the same day, and they both succeeded him at the age of thirteen on the same day.

The identity of the general was confirmed, and the territorial retainers and troops left by his fathers were also inherited.

But there is no real job!

It’s not that I don’t want to give it, it’s that I’m afraid I won’t do it well if I give it!

So the matter was delayed until a large number of newcomers gradually emerged, and bright generals appeared one after another. These two children were even forgotten on the island of Java, and no one even mentioned them.

But after all, here is the identity of the general, and here is the rank of the elders of the Takeda family. The two of them were appointed one after another, but Amari Masatada was killed in battle at Tonegawa in his early years.

And Itagaki Nobunori first served as the head of the imperial corridor for Takeda Shingen. To put it bluntly, he was the doorman. After working for two years, he served as the Imperial Treasurer under the command of the emperor, responsible for selling the messy annual tribute collected from all directions and converting it into Yongle money.

After accumulating qualifications, he was finally appointed as Saku County Secretary and was stationed in Komoro Castle as a front-line military commander in attacking Ueno.

According to this trajectory, he may eventually enter the center of the Takeda clan step by step. But unfortunately, Takeda Shingen died of serious injuries. Takeda Yoshinobu succeeded to the throne, and the Takeda family's power in Shinano declined on a large scale. Komoro Castle could not hold on, so Itagaki Nobunori had no choice but to flee back to Kai.

Turning back to Yamauchi Takeda's great battle at Suwa Uehara Castle, Itagaki Nobukata, who had no official position and no position, did not go to the front line to participate in the battle, but stayed in Kai to handle logistics. When he was transporting military supplies to Uehara, the Takeda army was defeated and the news that Takeda Yoshinobu was defeated spread along the streets.

He wanted to quickly seek refuge with Takeda Yoshinobu, after all, he had money, food and weapons with him. These things can help Takeda Yoshinobu reorganize his troops a little and continue to resist.

But before he could join up with Takeda Yoshinobu, the Tsuzaki Hall was set on fire and Takeda Yoshinobu disappeared.

Even if I want to continue to be loyal, I have no chance to be loyal to him!

In confusion, he could only gather his men, retreat to Itagaki Mountain, return to his own territory and wait and see. Then Koheita's order for Takeda's arrest spread throughout Kai, and he couldn't stay in his territory any longer, so he had no choice but to retreat into the mountains with a dozen of his subordinates to make final plans.

Everyone knows what happened next, and the Takeda clan was completely destroyed. The entire clan was basically wiped out, and the retainers and warriors suffered heavy losses.

The Yamauchi family used extremely bloody methods to temporarily suppress the Kingdom of Kai. Coupled with the fact that Umeyuki Anayama came forward and called on Takeda Katsunobu to ask the local people in Kai to exercise restraint, it seemed that the Takeda clan was really dead.

There is a high probability that Itagaki Nobunori will use the money and food to remain anonymous and spend the rest of his life in a place where no one knows him.

Until an uninvited guest came and told him that Takeda Yoshinobu's eldest son Imagawa Hikoro was not only not dead, but also alive and well, and Kai's loyal ministers were not dead yet!
