This heavy rain temporarily delayed Masatora Uesugi's attack, but it did not affect the military operations of Dewa Province. No matter how powerful the typhoon was, there was always an eye core. Compared with the violent storms in Kanto and the heavy rains in the Central Vietnam region, Dewa Province was relatively more vulnerable.
It was calmer. The heavy rain fell continuously for more than 20 days, extinguishing all the dryness accumulated in the past few months.
The Kira Legion advanced step by step according to the fixed plan, and captured Tendo Castle in early May. Enza Castle forced the surrender of the last two groups of Mogami Hachimon. The old Tendo Yoromichi personally surrendered and knelt down at Kira Yoshitoki's feet and cried bitterly.
, when hundreds of members of the Tendo clan, young and old, followed their hometown governor out of the city to pay their respects to Kiragi, they saw Tendo Yorisada cowering like a little quail behind his father in fear. Kiragi knew he had won the bet.
Mogami Hachio was frightened by the powerful fighting power displayed by the Kira Legion, and could not muster the courage to fight to the death with the Kira family. The retired governor of his hometown, Tendo Yoromichi, led hundreds of Tendo clan members out of the city to surrender.
, fully illustrates the fearful attitude of the people of Dewa Country towards them. From now on, the Kira family can run rampant in Dewa Country without hindrance.
On the other side, Yanzao Mitsurugi of Yanzao City also used similar means to conquer the city. A family of several hundred people, young and old, could only cower on the ground and tremble in front of the mighty Takigawa Shiyi. It was not that they were too timid, but that the Kira Legion was too strong.
It was so powerful that the 15,000-strong army suffered almost no losses. In the blink of an eye, all the 5,000 prisoners were converted into our own army. Along the way, the army marched from Tagawa County, Mogami County and even Murayama County. There were seven or eight thousand servants.
In the blink of an eye, Kira's army surged from 15,000 to 28,000.
Such a huge legion almost included most of the essence of the four Hazen prefectures. Even the Hankawa clan and the Shiratori clan joined the main force of the Kira legion. Hosukawa Naomoto of the Oshu Hosukawa clan even came over to get close to Kira Yoshiki.
At that time, he was very satisfied with the wise behavior of this relative and gave him a generous treatment.
He was immediately recognized as a member of the Ashikaga clan. As a retainer of Hosokawa Fujitaka Kasugayama Castle, the territory of more than a dozen small villages in Dewa Province was also transferred to Higashi-Ueno Province's Shita County in one sentence, and the territory was even larger than before.
A trusted retainer whose one thousand koku becomes a five thousand koku territory and is promoted to the status of a reserve general. From now on, his family should not be called the Oshu Hosukawa clan but should be called the Ueno Hosokawa clan.
This is the so-called irreversible trend. When Mogami Hachisuke was incorporated into the Dewa Corps by Kira Yoshi, the number of separated dechos ranged from Ashigaru general to reserve general. Nozawa Mitsushige officially announced his retirement from the position of governor of the family and gave up his position to
His youngest son Yanzao Manyon is only fifteen years old.
Naturally, Tendo Yorisada and Yanzawa Mitsubishi became the new generation retainers of the Kira Yoshi period, and gave permission to their subordinates. The only requirement was that the laws within the territory must comply with the laws of the Kira family, and all government orders, finances, taxes, and military services must be strictly adhered to.
Follow the footsteps. In this way, the Yanzao Ginzan, an important source in the hands of the Nozaza family, will be transferred to Kira Yoshitoki's hands.
Mogami County recovered in an instant, and the people of Murayama County all surrendered after hearing the news. Yoshitoki Kira and Yoshimitsu Mogami walked side by side into Yamagata Castle, and held a simple but grand succession ceremony for the governor of the family in the afternoon. Mogami Yoshimoru was there.
Reluctantly, he passed the position of family governor to Mogami Gengoro Yoshimitsu. From now on, Mogami Yoshimitsu will be the eleventh generation family governor of the Dewa Mogami clan.
Later, Yoshitoki Kira announced that he would soon request the shogunate to grant Mogami Yoshimitsu Dewa's title, Ukyo doctor, and recommend him as the shogunate's imperial accompaniment and imperial minister.
The general of the Ashikaga Clan's Deyu Regiment, and promoted Mogami Yoshimitsu to the Ashikaga Clan's eldest son, the elder of the family, and Gosan Kiri.
A series of wonderful rewards made the Mogami clan family members rejoice. At this moment, even a blind man could see that Mogami Yoshimitsu was climbing up a big tree, and in the blink of an eye, he fished out the Chief Dewa General that Mogami Yoshimori dreamed of.
After getting it, it was highly recognized by Kira Yoshi and became one of his disciples. The oldest member of the Gokudai family enjoys the Gosantong sub-pattern. This is not just hugging a big tree but hugging a thick and strong thigh.
Mogami Yoshimitsu lived up to expectations. As the governor of the household, his first order was to be loyal to the Ashikaga clan. The family responded to all government orders in line with Echigo, and he himself would spend half a year every year to serve in Kasugayama Castle. His second order was to abolish
His father's marriage to Date, a native of Chichi County, resulted in his sister Mogami Yoshihime being married off to Kira Yoshi as his concubine's wife.
The members of the Mogami clan's family members all stared at the young governor in shock. They had no idea what the reason for this great surprise was. Fortunately, there were many smart people in the crowd, and they quickly understood that Kira Yoshi promoted Mogami Yoshi.
Hikaru didn't just fall in love with the young house governor who wanted to join the public service, but he fell in love with Mogami Yoshiki, the most beautiful girl in Dewa in the Mogami family.
It is well known that Mogami Yoshimitsu loves his biological sister. If she is allowed to marry into the Ashikaga family, it will not only strengthen the marriage relationship between the two families. It will be more like a chain that pulls the Dewa Mogami clan onto Kira Yoshi's warship.
Tendo Yorisada's eldest daughter, who was only ten years old, was also booked early to serve as Mogami Yoshimitsu's sidekick to repair the damaged relationship between the two families.
The next day, Mogami Yoshimitsu sent an envoy to Yonezawa Castle in Oki County, and announced loudly in front of Date Harumune, Date Terumune and many family members: "Today, the shogunate's heavenly army descended on Dewa.
In Mipo City, the rebel army of Chuyu was swept away. The town government sent 30,000 troops to and from Chuyu, using the majestic power of the shogunate's heavenly army to sweep away the evil spirits.
My father, Mogami Ideha Moriden, was old and dim. He mistakenly believed the slanders of his favorite minister Shimizu Hizen, and despite the strong obstruction of the family retainers, he made a marriage alliance to promote the anti-Echigo alliance. Only then did Oura Castle suffer a great defeat. Shimizu HizenMori
Although he should not be too harshly blamed for his death, it was later discovered that he had accepted bribes and gifts of a hundred taels of gold from the Date clan during his lifetime. As the governor of the Mogami clan, I was very angry and decided to cancel the marriage proposal with the Date clan. Therefore,
Let me know in this document."
All the members of the Date family were stunned. They couldn't understand what happened to the Dewa Mogami clan, and they couldn't understand what kind of courage Mogami Yoshimitsu, a yellow-mouthed boy, dared to stand up and take advantage of Ida Harumune.
Dirty water, Date Terumune was so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. He kept chanting: "This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable! Mogami Yoshimitsu is crazy! Where is my father-in-law? Where is he?"
The envoy in charge of reading was Ujie Mamoudou. After reading the document, he immediately put aside his arrogant tone and replaced it with a kind smile and said: "I'm sorry, Date Kyōshoden! The old master has announced his retirement a few days ago, Izuku.
The governor of the Mogami clan is my lord. The town government has promised that my lord will be a member of the family, the elder of the family, the general of Deha, and Gosantong. He also recommended that the lord will be the subject of Deyu. Dr. Ukyo, I think it will happen in two months.
A piece of news will come from Luozhong."
Luozhong is Kyoto, upper Luoyang is upper Kyoto, and downward is to go from Kyoto to a country in the countryside. In the middle ages of Japan, there was only one city, Kyoto, and the other sixty-six countries were all rural areas. From far away, Minamoto Yoritomo and Minamoto Yoshinakato
I was once scolded as a country samurai in Kyoto, as if I was a pig warrior and spoke like a country bumpkin. These country samurai were also used to this kind of ridicule, and they were not ashamed but proud of it. The samurai from far away countries even considered it an honor to visit Luozhong. So Ujie Mamoru
Dong's expression was naturally relaxed when he spoke of Luozhong, with a slight sense of superiority.
The people of Mutsu and Deyu are talking about how powerful the Date family is, how they have grown from a small family to Deyu step by step. The legend of Mutsu's important and powerful daimyo has been circulating for decades. The Date family is indeed very powerful. As Deyu,
The people of the country can use the land of a county to move around and become a great name. This kind of thinking requires many generations of family governors to work hard in the same direction. The formulation and execution of this strategy are indeed not something that simple daimyo can do.
of.
The secret of the Ida family's fortune is not complicated. Several generations of family governors were wise and decisive, and first integrated the people in Zhici County through various means such as marrying off their daughters and giving away their sons. In addition, they traveled to Luozhong and Kyoto every year to give Baba's gifts.
The shogunate's official palace sent gold dust, famous horses, falcons, furs and other local specialties. Gradually, the shogunate was favored, and he accepted the title of the shogunate's official palace, and then he became fully prosperous.
The Date family, like the Kasai family and the Ashina family, almost all made their fortunes from small wealthy families. Their family status is all illusory and they rely on the connection between blood and geography. Their development path is similar to that of the Oshu clan, the Osaki clan, and the Dewa clan.
The Mogami clan is completely different. The most interesting thing is that Date Harumune relied on his own means to survive by sending his son and daughter to the Oshu clan. The Osaki clan fell into civil strife, and in the end it became the Oshu clan.
The Date family was more clever than the honest Mutsu samurai family, and their methods were more sophisticated. During the Date Aizhu period, the Date family was like a diligent spider, gradually building a network of relatives all over Mutsu, and finally triggered the Oshu Astronomical Rebellion.
The long-lasting turmoil. The people from all walks of life were in a state of turmoil because of the little trouble that happened to their Date family, and they even divided themselves into factions, the Chou Yin Mao, each forming a faction to attack each other.
Before this, the Mogami family was very afraid of the Date family, because the Date family had defeated the Mogami family in the Battle of Hase-do and fled. After the war, they forced the governor of the family, Mogami Yoshi, to marry the Date family's sister.
If Mogami Yoshii and his newborn child hadn't died mysteriously one after another, the Mogami family might have become the Ryugo clan, the Kokubu clan, and the Watari clan and become the puppets of the Date clan from now on.
But everything is different now. Ujie Moritou straightened his back with a warm smile and yelled at the ferocious Date Terumune for half an hour. He was not afraid of this angry young governor at all. Date Teru
It’s understandable that Mune was furious, and it’s not surprising that Date Harumune’s group of retainers were filled with indignation. Threats with knives and words could not shake his spirit. Ujiie Moritou’s eyes never left Date Harumune, deciding the future of the Date family.
He was the only one going towards it,
Until the family governor who had retired for a long time suddenly sighed and said slowly: "Mogami can look down on the covenant with my Date family, but the marriage with my Date family must be fulfilled. Even if the alliance is broken in the future, it cannot be destroyed.
With this agreed marriage, Princess Yoshihime is destined to be the woman of my Date family and the wife of my child. I am sorry that Harumune cannot accept the document of the Supreme Court. Please keep this document intact.
Take it back! I will personally lead an army to Yamagata Castle to demand justice, and by the way, we will take Princess Yoshihime back to Yonezawa Castle."
The snow-white piece of paper was thrown at Ujie Moritou's feet. All the Dates were silent and stared at his actions. Ujie Moritou didn't look angry at all. He just nodded noncommittally and knelt down to pick up the abandoned letter.
He carefully folded the documents, then straightened his back and stood up slowly, smiling and said: "Jing Zhao, have you thought clearly? You have to face not only my lord, but also a general who is guarding the palace! But this is fine.
, I always have to say goodbye..."
Date Huizong said angrily: "Humph! Who asked you to leave! Get the left and right..."
"Sujiro, don't stop!" Date Harumune scolded Date Terumune, who was still angry, and said loudly: "Let him go without any obstruction!"
Ujie Shoudong showed a faint expression of love, bowed and said slowly: "Farewell!"
Until half an hour after he left, there was no sound in the vast room. Date Miyuan coughed and said: "Lord, I'll take my leave first!"
"Yeah!" Date Huizong responded vaguely, his chest heaving violently, obviously still not relieved of this anger.
The so-called deep hatred is nothing more than the hatred of killing one's father and taking away one's wife. Date Huizong was also unlucky, but he happened to encounter someone else's misfortune that came from the sky. Fortunately, he found that his fiancée had become someone else's concubine.
How could he endure such humiliation and swallow this bad breath?
He understood Date Terumune's feelings very well. No one could bear the shame of having his fiancée taken away. He could endure such a naked slap in the face. How could the Date family stay in Yuao and Austria in the future?
If you continue to mess around, the face of the dignified family governor will be torn off alive, and the shameless face will look so bloody. This is not a slap in the face, but an expose.
Date Harumune sighed and took his angry son back to the castle tower. As he walked, he said: "Sujiro! Are you angry? Are you angry that your wife was snatched away and you were unable to resist?
Then I will take you to meet your mother, and you will know some stories you never knew."
The father and son returned to the castle tower and saw Date Harumune's wife, Kubohime, accompanying her daughters to work as a prostitute. Kubohime was a slender, beautiful and dignified lady, with fair skin and exquisite facial features, especially those pair of shoes.
The beautiful eyes of Kansui are very attractive. From the appearance, it is completely impossible to tell that she is a woman who is nearly forty years old, and no one would have thought that he and Date Harumune gave birth to six boys and five girls in just ten years.
Kubohime's bright eyes caught a glimpse of the father and son standing outside the castle tower looking at him, and thought their expressions were quite strange. She gently called up her daughters and asked them to follow the maids back to their respective rooms, and then smoothly
The scattered black hair gathered up. He said angrily: "What are Your Highness and Sujiro looking at? It's so weird to stare at my body for a long time!"
"Hehehe... Madam! I miss you as a father!" Date Harumune smiled and was about to come over, but Kubohime pushed him away and complained in a low voice: "Your Highness, please don't mess around, the child is still here!
"
Date Harumune gently hugged Kubohime, then turned to his son who lowered his head in shame and said: "Sujiro! Do you think your mother is beautiful?"
Although Date Huizong has grown up, he has never seen his parents act so affectionately. He was a little at a loss for a moment: "Ah! Well! My mother is very beautiful. Everyone says so, and it seems that my mother is
The most beautiful woman in Austria...if my child remembers correctly, she should be like this."
Kubohime made a big blush from her always serious husband. She slapped him on the shoulder and scolded him: "Oh! Your Highness, what are you talking about? If you talk nonsense again, I will get angry! Tsujiro, go back and have a rest!"
"
"Hey! Madam, please listen to me before asking Sujiro to step back..." Date Harumune was calm and would not be so stupid that his wife would make fun of him in front of her children. He grabbed Kubohime's little hand with his backhand and turned to Date Terumune.
He said seriously: "Sujiro! Then do you know that your mother was snatched from someone else's hands for your father?"
"Ah! You came here to rob...? Can this really be robbed?" Date Huizong was dumbfounded. His mother was actually robbed by his father. Everything was completely confused.
"That's true. If you don't believe me, ask your mother. Your grandfather did not intend to betroth your mother to your father. Instead, he wanted to betroth your mother to Yuki Haretsuna, the lord of Mutsu Shirakawa Castle. About twenty years ago, there was
One time your mother went to the temple to offer incense and happened to meet your father while he was out hunting hawks. She fell in love with her at first sight when she met her. She forgot to go hawking, so she followed your mother's team with the samurai to offer incense in the temple."
Kubohime couldn't control Date Harumune's temper, so she could only say: "Yeah! I was startled by His Highness at the beginning, and a prodigal son appeared out of nowhere and followed me around. It's okay.
Your Highness did not try to rob me! At that time, I had already made up my mind that if I encountered a prodigal who used force, I would commit suicide to preserve my innocence."
Date Harumune was a little embarrassed. He coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face and said in a low voice: "Why haven't I heard from you about this? What if I really tried to rob you? Wouldn't it be terrible!"
"Who says it's not the case! Thanks to Your Highness for not moving around, I was so frightened when I returned home that I didn't dare to go out for a whole year!" Kubohime admired her husband's awkward expression with a smile. The couple had been going through ups and downs for more than ten years.
We have been living in harmony for many years, and we have given birth to a large number of healthy children. This blessing is indeed not easy.
Date Huizong was stunned. Just now, he was immersed in the shame of having his fiancée taken away. In the blink of an eye, he discovered that his mother was snatched away. There is probably no story in the world that is more ridiculous than this.
, with his dazed head shaking, he asked in disbelief: "Father, Mother, are everything you said true? You're not just kidding, are you?"
Date Harumune said seriously: "Do you think my father is someone who teases you with your mother's stories? This is true. Why did my father and your grandfather not have a good relationship before? It wasn't until he sent your brother to Iwaki's house that things got better.
Come on, why is my father always hostile to the Shirakawa Yuki family? It's all because of this!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
