Chapter 36 News from Takeda

"Hmm! Habayashi Chulangshou is also a man who knows military skills. I was lucky enough to meet him once when I was wandering in Shinano. He is indeed a martial artist with extraordinary bravery!" Yamamoto Kansuke said that this is Habayashi Chulangshou. Murakami Yoshikiyo, Habayashi Chulang is the Tang name of Major General Sakonoe. As early as the seventh year of Dayei, Murakami Yoshikiyo was transferred to Major General Sakonoe when he was twenty-seven years old. In the fifth year of Astronomy, he was promoted to the fourth rank of Major General Sakonoe.

His mother is the daughter of Yoshihiro Ushiba, the family governor of the third house leader Shiba clan. The ancestors of the Murakami family are from the Seiwa Genji lineage. The Shinano Genji themselves are also very famous. During the Kenbu period, they were personally recognized by Ashikaga Takauji. The general of Shinano, in terms of official career, was higher than the Takeda family who was constantly promoting and building momentum. During the Muromachi period, he was also a very famous samurai family in Shinano.

Kira Mansomaru was not surprised that Takeda Harunobu would lose. He still remembered that the Uedahara war seemed to have lost some famous generals of the Takeda family. It was one of the dark histories of the Takeda family that could not be erased. However, he did not expect that he would fail so miserably, or even remotely. The defeat was more severe than he remembered.

"Itagaki Nobukata, Amari Koyasu, Saima Kawauchi Mamoru, Hatsuka Denemon and others were killed in the battle. Yokota Takamatsu, Tada Mitsurui, Hara Koin and others who were directly under the Takeda family's main formation were injured. The Murakami army once reached the Takeda family. In the main formation, Takeda Harunobu himself was slashed several times. In the end, it was Kudo Yunaga and Baba Nobusa who fought desperately, so Takeda Ozen could only lose his life to Uedahara." Yamamoto Kansuke was also amazed by this result.

"How many people died in the battle?"

"A total of 1,200 people were killed by the Takeda Army in this battle. No wonder the Takeda family kept the news for more than a year. It turned out that their vitality was severely damaged." Yamamoto Kansuke smacked his lips and could only shake his head and sigh at this number.

It is true that Takeda Nobutora has never been defeated. In the early years of the Takeda family's Yukawa Nobue rebellion, and later the Imagawa clan's pro-army army invaded Kai, he was defeated several times, but never as badly as this defeat. Eight thousand troops were on the spot. More than 1,200 people were killed and more than 1,500 were injured. One-third of them died in just half a month. Half of the wounded who survived permanently lost their combat effectiveness. Almost everyone suffered a fatal injury. Isn't this a heavy blow?

"Why did this news come after almost a year? Is it just a simple attempt to cover up this tragic defeat? I don't think it is like it!" Kira Manshomaru felt very strange, losing so miserably was already a little bit... Unexpectedly, how could this news be revealed after hiding it for another year? What exactly did the Takeda family do in this year? Judging from Takeda Harunobu's historical evaluation, he was not a person who would give up.

"It's true. Last summer, Takeda Daisenden went to Suwa and fought a joint battle at Shiojiri Pass. They defeated the Ogasawara Shinano Chief who invaded Suwa and stabilized the Minami-Shinano Kingdom that was in chaos."

Ever since June of the eleventh year of Tenmon, Takeda Harunobu suddenly turned against him and contacted Takato Yoritsugi, a branch of the Suwa clan, and together they joined forces to attack the Suwa County led by his brother-in-law, Suwa Yorishige. He never thought that his brother-in-law would suddenly turn against him and become ruthless. Suwa Yorishige was unable to withstand the two-pronged attack, so he had no choice but to surrender the city in the second month under the guidance of Takeda Harunobu.

Then the poor Suwa family governor was taken back to Kofu and held in solitary confinement together with his newly married wife Ni Ni. In less than a month, the last governor of the Suwa family died in grief, anger and resentment. However, there are rumors that this was Takeda Harunobu ordered Suwa Norishige to be killed, but the rumors were often untrue and therefore not accepted.

Because after Suwa County was conquered, his sister and nephew were of no use. You died of depression while under house arrest in the second year. Takeda Harunobu specially married his brother-in-law in order to take the territory of Suwa County into his pocket.

Suwa Yorishige's concubine, Suwa Otori, became a concubine and gave birth to a son two years ago who inherited the Suwa family business. As for the fate of Suwa Tonomaru, his nephew, no one knows.

This imperial minister was born in the third year of the reign of Emperor Xianroku (1530 AD) and had no blood relationship with Takeda Harunobu. Those Suwa people who lost their land did not care about this. In order to smear the Takeda family, they deliberately fabricated many ridiculous rumors to slander the Takeda family. In fact,

These are all nonsense.

Takeda Harunobu's approach is a bit excessive, even ruthless and unreasonable, but if you think about his character, it doesn't seem so strange. He always lures allies into traps for territorial expansion, and Takato conspires with Takeda Harunobu.

Yoritsugi did not end well in the end, and Takato Castle became the residence of Ina County's Akiyama Tigers.

His natural contempt for the covenant and his ability to grasp people's hearts will make him unfavorable in the following wars. This clue has already appeared now, but he has not yet fully grown into the hero of Kai.

Encountering obstacles in front of him, he then turned to tearing up the covenant and attacking the Imagawa family, tearing up the covenant with the Oda family and attacking Mikawa, etc. These actions also provide the best explanation for his character.

"Takeda Keishouden is also a great figure. I also met Nobutoraden in Kofu and Shinano back then. The samurai of the Takeda family under his leadership were really brave and good at fighting. But I don't know that today this Takeda

What will it look like in the hands of Daizenden?" Yamamoto Kansuke's performance surprised Kira Manshomaru.

According to the description of later generations in his memory, Yamamoto Kansuke should have some grudges against Takeda Nobutora, but looking at his current appearance, he has no such idea at all. Calling Takeda Nobutora after Dr. Sakyo's Tang name, Kyo Zhaoyin, is obviously out of respect. I understand.

Yamamoto Kansuke knew that this was a sign of his high admiration for Takeda Nobutora's military strategy.

Having studied with Kansuke Yamamoto for several years, he also knew the teaching methods of Kansuke Yamamoto. If he had any questions, he would ask directly: "But the reason why His Highness Nobutora was exiled seems to be because of his cruelty and bloodthirsty, and his preference for the second son to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one."

"This is a conspiracy." Yamamoto Kansuke sneered and explained: "When this happened, I happened to be eating under Asahina Tanba Morimoto Nagato, and I also learned from Lord Gencho that one and a half claws, ten years of Astronomy, are in May

When Takeda Keishuden went to Saku County, the Takeda family's envoys had been visiting Suruga for a long time. The Takeda family's envoys discussed with the Imagawa family the aftermath of the release of Takeda Keishuden. Takeda Keishuden continued to clean up the actions of the people of the country.

What he did completely angered the people of Kai Fei, and they wanted to exile him and replace him with a new governor."

"This turned out to be a conspiracy!" After hearing the explanation of the person involved, Kira Mansomaru was not particularly surprised. He curled his lips and said: "In order to strengthen his rule, Takeda Keishoden killed many independent vassals, which caused disgust and panic from above and below.

, so he teamed up with his legitimate son, Takeda Daisen Doctor Harunobu, to initiate the exile, right? This seems to be exactly the same as what happened to Ashikaga Yoshinori the Sixth Generation!"

"They are indeed exactly the same! The master's idioms are used very well! Ohuchi Tajima-den is very attentive to your teachings!" Kansuke Yamamoto praised. In fact, the two are not exactly the same at all, but how can he be as smart as Kansuke Yamamoto?

To retort verbally.

Yamamoto Kansuke seemed to dislike the Takeda family's behavior, and then continued: "Xia Ke Shang, no matter how much they try to beautify, they can't cover up the fact that Xia Ke Shang. Takeda Harunobu exiled his father, and the Takeda people exiled the king. They are a group of people."

Rebellion that cannot wash away sin.”

"In other words, if they can be exiled once, they can be exiled again. Isn't Takeda Harunobu worried that he will be exiled if defeated? For example, it is rumored that Takeda Keishouden has always favored Takeda Nomatsuden." Kira Manshomaru said.

Malicious speculation.

He had also heard of Takeda Nobushige's name. According to legend, Takeda Nobutora preferred this younger son and was driven out by his retainers. This was not entirely groundless. He did not believe that Takeda Harunobu did not have this.

Think about it.

"It is indeed possible, but in this case they will also bear greater pressure! I believe that Takeda Noriyama will definitely not cooperate with these criminal ministers. After all, they have already become 'rebellious ministers' by banishing them once. It doesn't matter if they banish another family governor again."

It is useless to argue, the Kai people will lose their reputation as a samurai family, and a samurai family that loses its reputation will only perish."

Kansuke Yamamoto looked at the vast green mountains in the distance and the few rays of sunlight falling, and said calmly.
