A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Where is Uesugi Kenshin right now?

Kaga Country, Kanazawa Gobo!

What are you doing?

Of course it’s Wu Dechongpei!

Kanazawa Gobo of Kaga Province is the headquarters of the Kaga Ichikai sect. Monzen Town is large in scale and has a prosperous population. The key point is that in the northwest is Kanazawa Oki, which is the trading center of Kaga country for the northbound ship trade and a rest stop before all northbound ships pass through the Noto Peninsula.

In such a prosperous urban area, if Uesugi Kenshin came in and didn't find some money to make up for his shortcomings, he would be really sorry for himself!

Originally, a few hundred people on white horses came out of Kasuga Mountain, but now there were eighteen thousand people under Uesugi Kenshin's command!

After entering Echu, Nagachi Kawada led the response at Uozu Castle, and Shiina Keinao, the commander of the Shiina army, also immediately came to help. Uesugi Kenshin's adopted son Kamijou Uesugi Masashige and Nakajo Keizi's successor Nakajo Keitai and others joined forces and came to increase the momentum. Finally, Jimbo Kakuhiro and the commander of Kojima Town, Jimbozu, also came to fight.

Uesugi's power immediately became famous, and then some of the turbulent Etchu people, as well as people from Kaga, Hida, and Etchu, gathered at Inami Castle and Koshikoji Temple.

The two sides fought fiercely in Nishimizuhara. They had always been outnumbered and retreated. Uesugi Kenshin opened the passage into Kaga. So he sent a message to the head of the Noto Hatakeyama clan, Cho, requesting to send troops to fight with him in Kaga.

Content that the masses love to hear and see has appeared again!

Noto Hatakeyama Takumi writer is in internal strife!

The struggle of Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna and his son to regain power completely failed, and then they were jointly chased by important ministers and released from the country!

Uesugi Kenshin's adopted son, Uesugi Masashige, is from a standard Hatakeyama family background. In other words, who else would he be? My eldest brother and dad can’t do it, so I’ll do it!

He could clearly see that the heir to the Uesugi clan would never be something he, the adopted son of the Noto Hatakeyama clan who had sent as a hostage, could do. Even Nagao Kekei, born to Uesugi Kenshin's eldest sister Sentoin, was killed. It would be better not to get into the muddy waters of the Uesugi family!

There is such a great opportunity now, it would be a fool not to take it!

Uesugi Masashige immediately asked Uesugi Kenshin to help him return to the country to inherit the Noto Hatakeyama clan. You are my father, the kind of father who is closer than my own father! As long as you can help me get back to Noto, I will always be your good son!

Uesugi Kenshin, who had never been able to completely suppress the Hojo clan in Kanto, changed his strategy at this time to expanding his own forces in Hokuriku, suppressing the people of Echigo, and expanding his authority by strengthening himself.

Then he can lead more troops into Kanto and face the Hojo family who are like a huge crowd.

He has already eaten the one hundred thousand guan from Ezhong. The surrender of the Hida Ema family in the south has greatly reduced the threat to Ezhong. Uesugi Kenshin needed Ezhong to continuously provide him with military rations and taxes to expand his strength.

Then the sudden commotion in the imperial family of Noto became a huge unstable factor!

This time the Echichu Ichikai commotion occurred. Due to Uesugi Kenshin's attitude towards eliminating the Ichikai sect in previous years, the eastern part of Echichu was quite peaceful, and only the west near Kaga did the Ichikuzu occur.

This shows that Uesugi Kenshin's strategy of head-on attack is very effective. These bald donkeys will not bow their heads until they kill one of them!

The threats to the southeast have been largely eliminated, and the threat to Noto in the north cannot be ignored. In addition, there is a son from the Noto Hatakeyama family in front of him, which is a free gift of righteousness.

Done!

After beating away Uesugi Kenshin, who had always been a crowd pleaser, he turned his horse and headed towards Nanao Castle to attack. The prestige of Lord Uesugi Kenshin, the commander of Kantō, was well known to the world. Nagatsuren was now scared and sent his third son Nagatsuren to Kaga Kanazawa Gobo for help. He himself gathered his men, as well as the fellow countrymen who were rebellious, to defend Nanao City.

Although the wishful thinking was very loud, it could not stand up to Uesugi Kenshin's superior tactical ability and Uesugi Masashige who led the way. Going back to Noto is really like going home. I grew up in Nanao Castle, so I am very familiar with the roads and geography.

Since the war in Echichu ended quickly, Uesugi Kenshin now had a lot of time to deal with Noto's bad things. After observing Nanao Castle for a while and secretly sighing that it was another disgusting mountain castle, Uesugi Kenshin set up his main formation at Shidong Mountain and stationed his army along the Tenjin River.

The main force of 8,000 people set up siege fortifications outside Nanao Castle, and the remaining 10,000 people attacked the various Noto branch castles. The resistance of Nagatsuna Company of Anamizu Castle, Matsunami Yoshichi, Hatakeyama Yoshiki, etc. of the Matsunami Hatakeyama family in each branch city will soon be broken down. The lord of Suemori Castle, Dohi Tajima Mori Masashige, surrendered to Uesugi Kenshin. Later, Heitaiyin, Nagasawa Mitsukuni and others would join Uesugi Kenshin's party.

Noto's situation began to reverse for Uesugi. Chorenryu finally asked Kaga Kaichi to reinforce the army with 6,000 men, but he was helpless and was beaten by Uesugi Kenshin again and failed.

In June, the summer heat returned, and a horrific plague broke out in Nanao Castle, which had been besieged for nearly four months. The soldiers killed more than a thousand people in just a few days. And due to insufficient food for the troops, more than a thousand people died of starvation.

In the end, Yuzuo Xumitsu and Onjing Kagetaka were betrayed by Uesugi Kenshin, and they launched an attack in the city, killing Changsu Lianmanmen, and Kaicheng surrendered!

Masashige Uesugi restored the name of Hatakeyama Yoshiharu and entered Nanao Castle as the head of the Noto Hatakeyama clan. The Noto country was completely pacified and became the territory of the Uesugi clan.

After finishing this round, Uesugi Kenshin was ready to return to Echigo to clean up his main village Noganaga.

But after a person's bad luck reaches the lowest point, it starts to go uphill. Naoe Keizuna led the people of China and Vietnam to defeat Odagiri Sonshichiro and stabilized the situation in China and Vietnam. Later, he joined forces with the father and son of Qiyoshi Castle Uesugi Keishin and Uesugi Ketora to attack Honjo Nobunaga. Uesugi Ketora was extremely brave and took the lead and won the victory.

And Honjo Shigenaga also learned that the Hojo clan's Ueno strategy collapsed, and it was impossible to invade Echigo to respond to his rebellion. He was unable to support a tree alone, so he surrendered to Uesugi Kagetora and sent his two sons as hostages to the military camps of Naoe Keetsuna and Uesugi Keishin.

Echigo chaos!

It just so happened that the Yamauchi family wrote to Uesugi Kenshin again. The Hojo family was beaten up by my family. We have already supported Koyomi Yorijun and Uesugi Yoshihide to restore their skills. Now please send Ota Shizheng over. We will fight to Edo Castle and help him rehabilitate his family on the way.

This news surprised Uesugi Kenshin. The Yamauchi family was on stimulants, so brave. But after all, he is my eldest nephew, he knows how to handle things, and he follows my life-or-death approach. Attack the Hojo clan and restore order in Kanto.

Then let Ota Shizheng return!

I gave Ota Zimasa a few hundred taels of gold as settlement expenses, and told him to keep it there after taking Edo to block the road to Hojo. If he needs help, he can ask my eldest nephew for help. As my eldest nephew, I have the same intention as my son, no problem!

He himself used the newly elected governor of the Hatakeyama family, Hatakeyama Yoshiharu, as his banner to pursue the thief Naga Renryu. With the power of seizing the whole country of Noto, they defeated Kaga Takamatsu Castle and Kamiyamada Castle in one day, and marched to Kanazawa Obo Castle.

There have always been 40,000 powerful soldiers, but they only dare to sit back and watch Uesugi Kenshin show his admiration for his martial virtues in the city!
