Kira Yoshitoki had no intention of giving the Hojo family a chance to beg for peace. He pretended to think for a moment but was actually secretly laughing at the Hojo family's delaying tactics. What the Hojo family wanted was nothing more than a temporary truce to deal with the conflicts within the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but
There is absolutely no need for him to cooperate with the Hojo family's strategy.
Musashi Province and Sagami Province were not the hereditary territories of the Hojo family from the beginning to the end. The Ogigaya Uesugi family was destroyed by the Hojo family, which means that these two countries have no kings in name. It is impossible for the Hojo family to come to the shogunate to protect them. This
This was Kira Yoshitoshi's first move against the Hojo family. The invasion without legal authority was not recognized by the shogunate, so he could use the opportunity to seize it for his own use.
Previously, his ambitions for the Musashi Kingdom were revealed with almost no concealment. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use killing as a threat and immigration as a means to make a big move within the Musashi Kingdom. He did not even worry about the fate of these dispersed villagers.
He will make a fuss in Echigo, and doesn't care how much public security harm and negative impact it will have on Echigo. The only thing he wants to do is to swallow Musashi Country in one gulp and digest it in the quickest way. At present, it seems that the most
A good way is to migrate and immigrate to complete a major blood change.
The significance of annexing Musashi is self-evident. He wanted to establish the core position of governance in Kanto as a radiation area centered on Musashi Country. With this political purpose in mind, if we look back at Kanto, we will find that the Sagami Kingdom and the Hojo clan, which lie across the Tokaido Road, appear to be
It's very annoying. The heroes in this family are all very capable, but they also harbor the dream of dominating Guandong, and they have been working hard for this dream.
As a young man with ambitions, aspirations, strategies and means, Kira Yoshitoki also harbors the dream of dominating Kanto. However, the former and the latter have different interpretations. The former governor of the Hojo family, Hojo Ujiyasu, aims at
The Kanto governor. And Kira Yoshitoki's target was the Kanto public.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. They are stronger than the Ashikaga family in terms of size and brains. Even if Hojo Ujiyasu has extraordinary abilities, he still has a group of family members who are conscientious and meticulous in their work. In terms of internal affairs, they have the excellence of all the people in Kanto.
The ability and the perfection of the laws surpassed those of the Eighteen Streets of the Kanto people, but they were still far behind Kiragi's rapid development in Echigo.
This gap cannot be made up by a few more famous generals or tens of thousands more troops. Due to the limitations of the times, the lack of a broader vision has made the Sagami Hojo clan lag behind the Kamishui Ashikaga clan in many aspects such as politics, economy, military and even institutions. This has made the Hojo family
Shi suddenly discovered that the enemy who was originally stronger than him was actually an illusion. The gap between the two sides had gradually widened through the changes over the years to the point where they could be crushed.
Kira Yoshitoki must not allow the Hojo clan to happily be the head of the Sagami kingdom. This is completely different from the treatment of the Kai Takeda clan. After all, the Sagami kingdom has Kamakura, the samurai capital, and the Miura Peninsula, which is a must-pass through the Tokaido.
There is a road, and Kai is just a poor ravine and a group of poor warriors with bad tempers.
They spent all their efforts to deal with the difficult Takeda family. The final spoils were only Kaiguo in a poor valley. The effort and reward were completely out of proportion. The purpose of sending troops to Kanto to fight against the Hojo clan was to compete for the dominance of Kanto, seize the Musashi Kingdom and
In this process, the ownership of more territorial kingdoms has inevitably led to fierce conflicts with the Hojo clan. Since the relationship is already hostile, there is no problem of a second offense.
Therefore, Kira Yoshitoki can temporarily let go of the Kai Takeda clan, who has completely given up on the interests of Shinano country. Currently, there is only a potential conflict of interest, but he cannot easily let go of the Sagami Hojo clan, who currently has a serious conflict of interests. This is because he does not want to
I committed the stupid thing of killing a snake and causing endless troubles. Of course, this can also be substituted for the Kai Takeda clan, Settsu Miyoshi clan and other samurai families.
"Yu probably understands what Your Highness Huan'an means, but Yu's recent schedule is quite tight..." Kira Yoshi looked a little embarrassed.
Chaoshan Richeng immediately understood and said: "Then let the poor monk lead His Highness Gongfang to explain it!"
Honda Tokimasa said: "I believe that the Sagami Hojo clan was originally a descendant of the Imagawa clan. They entered the Izu Kingdom decades ago under the orders of the shogunate and were loyal ministers of the shogunate. However, the world was in chaos and the Hojo clan left the shogunate like a wild horse.
In recent years, he has repeatedly violated the orders of the shogunate and invaded the Kanto samurai family in Sagami Province. His behavior seriously violated the orders of the shogunate and should be punished."
"His Royal Highness Ito Kōkō entered the Eastern Kingdom on the orders of the shogunate to combat the troubles and chaos that have arisen in various places, with the aim of restoring peace and stability in the Kanto region, and urging people from all over the country to respect the shogunate and unite under the banner of our Ashikaga family to fight against the rebellious ministers and traitors, and
The Hojo clan is precisely the samurai family that has committed the most crimes and should be included in the order of subjugation..."
Namioka Tobo paused for a moment and then said: "However, the Hojo family is a minister supported by the shogunate, which still has certain special characteristics. It is better to let them withdraw from Sagami and return to the Izu country, and His Highness Kokata can give the Hojo family the ability to control the Izu country.
"
"This is a wonderful strategy! Just implement it!" Kira Yoshitoshi said with a smile: "I believe that the guardian of Hojo Sagami Temple will understand my painstaking efforts."
All the Kanto warriors present here understand that this extremely harsh opinion is absolutely impossible for the Hojo clan to accept. Kira Yoshitsune has shown with actions that he will never accept the Hojo clan's compromising attitude. I will never give it to you even if I want to knock you to death with a sap.
Any chance to breathe, if you are unwilling, you can come over and hit me!
…
The climate in Kai in June is humid and hot, and the Kamamashi River and Fuefuki River, which have remained unchanged for thousands of years, will burst into floods on time in summer. Faced with the pressure of survival, Kai's farmers are forced to guard the dams day and night, constantly piling up earth and rocks, and frequent flooding.
Floods are the biggest enemy of Kai. Every time the dyke breaks, it will cause heavy losses to the Kai Basin. Frequent natural disasters are also the reason why Kai samurai are eager to get rid of it.
Ever since the Kai Takeda clan suffered successive defeats in Shinano to the Ashikaga clan, the momentum of the Takeda clan has plummeted in the past few years. The family's family members have become increasingly resentful of the successive defeats, although no one has dared to face them face to face.
He challenged the authority of Takeda Shingen as the family governor, but privately the discord among the family members became deeper and deeper. All Takeda Shingen's hardcore family members were questioned, and the indirect pressure on Takeda Shingen made him very uncomfortable.
It is not difficult to understand why it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to understand from luxury to frugality. But after all, most people are mortals who eat grains and are neither saints nor eminent monks. They always face many unavoidable problems. In terms of real interests,
In terms of distribution, we will inevitably have to fall into the problems encountered by ordinary people. For example, the original ten thousand dan has been reduced to 5,000 dan. In the past, we could have enough food and clothing. In the past few years, we have often had to eat one meal without finishing, making our family members suffer.
Doesn't it highlight that the governor is very incompetent in his role?
Under this kind of pressure, Takeda Shingen had to make changes. When he suffered continuous losses in the Shinano Kingdom and was unable to defeat the overbearing Kiragi, Takeda Shingen had to go south to bully his in-laws, the Suruga Imagawa clan.
. But the problem is that his precious son Takeda Yoshinobu is opposed no matter whether he goes north or south. Takeda Shingen gradually realizes that the legitimate son he has worked so hard to cultivate has become a stumbling block for him. You can imagine his complicated and annoyed mood at the time.
.
In particular, Takeda Yoshinobu's wife is the direct daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto. In terms of relationship, Takeda Yoshinobu and the Imagawa clan are really brother-in-law and elder brother-in-law. The marriage relationship between the two families is also concluded by Nobu Anayama, one of Takeda's two mountains.
As an intermediary, Jun was the go-between, and such a complex network of relationships penetrated into the Takeda family, causing great psychological pressure on Takeda Shingen.
Imprisoning Takeda Yoshinobu to deal with the "remnants" is only the first step. Dealing with these people is only an initial unification of voices at home, and more importantly, it is to suppress the Ayama clan of Takeda's two mountain systems. Takeda Shingen has sent several envoys one after another to investigate whether the Ayama clan is involved.
In the incident of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion, and following the incident of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion, Oyamada and Anayayama were ordered to hand over the affidavit immediately.
Anayayama Nobu-kun knew at a glance that the family governor was dissatisfied with his divisive attitude. What he expected was indeed correct. At the beginning of June, the investigating samurai of the Takeda family suddenly said that Anayama Hiko Nobuya had a major suspicion. It was very likely that he was involved in Takeda Yoshi.
The co-conspirator involved in the Nobu rebellion incident, Nobuyoshi Anoyama Hikohachiro Nobuyoshi is not a cat or a dog, but the brother of Anoyama Mutsu Nobunobu-kun, the leader of the Hanoi people.
The samurai of the Takeda family suddenly accused the Anayama family of being involved in the rebellion, and immediately ordered the Anayama family to hand over the rebel, Anayama Hikohachiro Nobuya. Anayayama Nobukun also knew that his brother was not involved in the so-called rebellion at all. In fact, the rebellion itself was completely false.
There is no need to use a man-made rebellion incident to arrest someone. This is really an excuse to incriminate someone.
The reason for dealing with the Anayama family is simply because their family has been close to the Imagawa for a long time, because the Hanoi Territory is located in the southwest of Kai Kingdom and the Suruga Kingdom. Decades ago, the Kamianayama clan personally served as the leader of the Imagawa clan to invade Kai, although it was very difficult later.
He was soon retaliated by Takeda Nobutora and came back to kill the governor of the Anayama family, but the relationship between Liangzi and Liangzi inevitably became deeper and deeper, so much so that the relationship between the two families was actually an old grudge.
For a period of time after the Takeda Yoshinobu rebellion, Ayama Nobu-kun's ambiguous wait-and-see attitude still angered Takeda Shingen. At this time, Takeda Shingen was not something that Asayama Nobu-kun could fight against, especially since Takeda Shingen had already
At the critical moment when the vanguard troops were sent into Suruga Country, Nobu-kun Anayama was worried that he would be wiped out by the Takeda army passing by if he didn't open his eyes.
The members of the Takeda family are in a hurry to grab land and property. If Nobu-kun Anayama dares to rebel, it will definitely attract a group of Kai samurai to besiege him. Anyway, these members of the family are basically involved in dealing with the rebellion of "Takeda Yoshinobu"
In the incident, as an accomplice of the conspiracy, he naturally excluded all retainers who were not involved in the rebellion. Takeda Shingen took advantage of the success of this conspiracy to seize the opportunity of the entire clan of retainers to regain his position as governor.
The so-called unity is a high sense of identity with shared experiences. Whether it is common interests, common experiences or common ambitions, they are all the same. In a sense, collusion or accomplices are also the resonance of similar experiences. Only with this resonance can we have a sense of identity.
And the so-called basis of unity, and then providing more benefits to the collusion can maintain this unity for a long time. Twenty years ago, Takeda Shingen did this to establish a stable rule for nearly twenty years. Now he is just sitting back on all this.
That's all.
Anayama Nobu-kun was afraid of Takeda Shingen from the bottom of his heart, so he could only reluctantly hand over his younger brother Anayama Nobuyoshi. Anayama Hikohachiro Nobuya was trapped in the claustrophobia of Nobuyama Kuon-ji Temple and soon committed suicide. Anayama Nobu-kun was so frightened that he could not sleep at night.
He quickly wrote many oaths and rushed them to the Tsugasaki Hall, repeatedly expressing his loyalty to Takeda Shingen. The sun and the moon can tell. In order to save his life, he did not hesitate to say a lot of flattery that he would never mention in the past.
Stay safe.
Taking advantage of Nobu-kun Anayama's experience, Oyamada Nobushige, who was also shot while lying down, was forced to lower his head and write an affidavit. After Nobu-kun Anayama expressed his enthusiasm in sending troops and food, he also expressed his willingness to serve as Takeda's military leader.
The leader of the formation invaded Suruga, and with the guarantee of these two people, Takeda Shingen's control over Kai was further consolidated.
You must know that in the past, these two families have always been away from home. Taking advantage of their large territory, they often used the lack of county officials to embarrass the Takeda family.
It solves a big problem and achieves the goal of increasing the cohesion within the Kingdom of Kai in the short term. Of course, we cannot control the hidden dangers it will cause in the long term.
More bizarre things soon appeared. The day after Nobuyaka Anayama of Kuonji Temple committed suicide, Takeda Yoshinobu, who was sequestered in Tokoji Temple, also suddenly committed suicide and ended his short life journey of only twenty-four years with death. Regardless of this
There are many conspiracies and conspiracies in it, which means that the Kai Takeda clan will completely change.
The impact of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion did not end with this. Takeda Yoshinobu's wife Imagawa Rei Shoin was sent back to Suruga, which meant that the covenant relationship between the Takeda clan and the Imagawa clan was broken, and the return to the Takeda family's order
Shiro Katsuyori regained the right to use the Miao name Takeda. He rose from the position of a member of the country in Suwa County to the position of the second governor of the Takeda family. For a time, his cold talk suddenly became very popular.
Takeda Nobushige, who was stationed in Kawachi County, received the official order to go out. Five thousand troops invaded Suruga Kingdom at lightning speed. As the general, Takeda Shingen also personally led 11,000 soldiers at this time.
The army followed closely and entered Suruga Country. At one time, the main force of the Takeda Army gathered more than 16,000 people.
Takeda Shingen's strategy is no better than Motori Motonari, and his scheming is worse than Matsunagahide. His skills in imperial service are beyond the reach of the two, so when Takeda Shingen's main formation was setting up in the inner room, at the same time, a group of hundreds of troops
The Tōpō Ninja Army composed of 100 people easily bypassed the surveillance of the Imagawa Army and successfully crossed the border of the Koshun Kingdom and entered the heart of the Suruga Kingdom.
The first task they were given was to stir up trouble and create an atmosphere of panic and chaos in Suruga. After several reorganizations, the Penetrating Ninjas gradually developed a more mature and secretive set of intelligence tactics. This team of more than a hundred people quickly dispersed throughout Suruga Country.
In the castle towns of each major castle, various rumors were spread about the crisis that the Imagawa family was facing.
It is said that Takeda Shingen's plan to go out this time was supported by Kira Yoshitoki. He will lead all the Kai Kingdom's troops, about 30,000, to invade Suruga Country. It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the Takeda family will invade Kantō at the same time as Kira's army.
They always took action against the Imagawa family, and some good-hearted people vividly expressed how the Takeda army was approaching the city, and the vanguard they encountered was the main force of the famous Takeda Nomashi Temple.
Within a few days, these rumors fermented into more terrifying rumors. Even most of the lower-level samurai in Sunfu believed them to be true. The lower-level townspeople became even more commotion. Then a terrifying rumor spread that Kai's samurai had long lived.
The mountains and plains are rude, cruel, and easy to kill. If they are allowed to enter Sunpu Castle, they will definitely rob the townspeople as usual and even capture the rebels and sell them to mine deep in the mountains.
Stimulated by such rumors, on July 8, townspeople started to leave Sunfu for refuge with their families and belongings on flatbed trucks. When the Imagawa family heard the news, they ridiculed these ignorant townspeople for being fooled by this.
Confused by such rumors, I didn't take this small thing that made me smile no longer in my heart at all.
The next morning, the spread of rumors suddenly increased several notches. Gradually, more and more residents fled with their families. Many townspeople helped the elderly and young children move out of Sunpu Castle. Businessmen were also affected by the war.
They sold their goods at low prices, closed their shops, and even pawned their houses in preparation for running away.
At this time, the Imagawa clan realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the people of Sunfu to immediately go out to catch the rumor spreaders. It took a lot of effort to catch a group of small fish and shrimps, but it was of no use at all. The real big fish was hidden behind it.
He had long since hid in an unknown place and secretly observed the situation.
After a surprise interrogation, he found that he was doing useless work. Imagawa clan ordered the samurai to post notices in the most conspicuous places in each town: "Kai Takeda Shingen is greedy for the rich and beautiful land and water of our East China Sea. He killed his legitimate son and killed his retainer for his own selfish purposes."
, today he has broken the Three Kingdoms Alliance oath and arbitrarily raised an unjust army to invade Suruga. His evil intentions are known to the world, and the rumors spread recently are all based on rumors and cannot be believed easily, let alone spread without authorization. From now on, there will be no more unauthorized attempts to leave Suruga.
Those who belong to the government will be punished by the people of the same mind."
The citizens of Sunfu were blocked from leaving, but this piece of paper could not help him get out of the Imagawa family's predicament, nor could it deter him from the purpose of breaking through the rumors released by the ninjas like a strong wind blowing through the crumbling fearful people.
It has been basically achieved. After all, they are just ninja soldiers doing intelligence work. As long as the citizens of Sunpu Town are plunged into panic and uneasiness, the primary purpose of this operation has been achieved.
After the Imagawa clan issued a blockade order restricting travel from abroad, the residents of Sunpu Town who had not had time to escape on July 10 began to complain about the unreasonable ruler. Although the rumors were prohibited from spreading, their influence was not reduced by half. Gradually, the residents of Sunpu Town began to complain about the unreasonable ruler.
People also began to believe that these rumors were true, and some distrust of the Imagawa clan and the Imagawa retainers gradually spread among the townspeople. This adverse effect gradually penetrated into the samurai class in Sunpu Castle, and many lower-level samurai appeared different.
A degree of confusion and vacillation.
That afternoon, a fire suddenly broke out in a town in Sunfu. Although this small fire was quickly extinguished, it was probably just a small accident. However, as the rumor spread, it quickly turned into a terrifying hint, making
The panic-stricken people fell into deeper turmoil, and soon some evildoers came out. Someone from the Takeda family secretly sneaked into Suruga and waited for an opportunity to destroy it, claiming that there would be a fire tonight. The main force of the Takeda Army had already appeared in Suruga.
So much.
Rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are more and more participants. The reason why the law does not punish the public is that there are too many participants. If the number of participants reaches a certain level, the punishment will become a complete departure from a certain class, which forces the Imagawa clan to not dare to use tough methods anymore.
I use various means to impose punishment, but I always hesitate and don't know how to deal with it better.
The weakness of the head of the country also proved from the side that the Imagawa family was incompetent as the leader, causing rumors to spread at an exponential speed. At this time, the Imagawa family was really shocked when they received the news. At this time, he was working for Matsudaira Ieyasu, a rebellious minister of Mikawa Kingdom.
Angry that he had killed his good brother-in-law, Kira Yoshian, he sent an order, Okabe Gennobu, to lead five thousand troops to attack Mikawa Matsudaira Ieyasu. Before the army left Suruga Country, he found that the relationship was becoming more and more dangerous, and his ally Takeda Shingen
Leading an army of 16,000 people to the front door.
This really made the Imagawa clan very anxious. When he saw his sister Reimatsuin who was sent back at the same time, crying and complaining to him, saying that her father-in-law Takeda Shingen had done all kinds of vicious things to his legitimate son Takeda Yoshinobu, the Imagawa clan was very angry.
Zhen was trembling all over and kept cursing Takeda Shingen, the vicious samurai who had attacked his son, and that he would die miserably.
At the same time, two brothers-in-law in the west and north were killed at the same time. Kira Yoshian, the brother-in-law of Mikawa Kingdom, was killed by Matsudaira Ieyasu, a rebellious minister of the Imagawa family. Takeda Yoshinobu, the brother-in-law of Kai Kingdom, was killed by the vicious tiger Takeda Shingen. Everyone said tiger poison
Even if he doesn't eat his children, his Kai no Tiger is really more vicious than the vicious tiger, and he is quite a bit like Taipei Jōmasako, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Imagawa first had to weigh which of the two hatreds had the greatest impact on him. In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that the invasion of the Takeda Army in front of him was more dangerous, so he immediately stopped Okabe Motobu's expedition to Mikawa.
In response to the country's military strength, he turned his direction and headed north to assist Suruga's main force in flanking the Takeda army's main force.
The Imagawa family of Sunfu sent another 10,000 troops, led by the family elder, Anbo Anfang, and Mamochu Tadayin served as the general to fight against the invading Takeda army. Anhara Tadayin was a member of the same clan of Taiyuan Xuezhai, and he was still called "Hai" in terms of relationship.
Therefore, Taiyuan Xuezhai is called an uncle, and his own abilities can only be described as average. He is not very good, but he does not have many outstanding performances. The Imagawa family really uses him more because of their trust in the Taiyuan Xuezhai clan.
Heavy.
This kind of behavior can be justified from a rational point of view, but as the governor of the Suruga Imagawa clan, he blindly used emotions in the appointment of the commander of the first army, and used personal preferences to determine the selection of the general who was crucial to the rise and fall of fortune.
It is a very dangerous move to choose a samurai who does not have the talents of a general general or even an excellent general. This will neither convince the talented samurai nor lead the Imagawa army to win the war.
The dissent within the Imagawa Army was not really taken seriously by the Imagawa clan. He did not even know that a group of samurai who were ready to rebel had appeared in the Imagawa retainers group. Just like the Takeda family, there would always be rebellious retainers like Anayama and Oyamada.
Years of continuous losses of troops have made it impossible to maintain the territory, which has led some speculators to use their own brains to pack up their homes and sell them at a good price.
In this invisible crisis, the main force of the Takeda Army had arrived at Suruga Province's Anhara County before Tadayin set out to set up formation at the inner chamber of Iguchi. As the general, Tadayin Anhara hurriedly gathered five thousand troops from Motonobu Okabe.
The army assembled into a force of 15,000 and set up a formation at Satao Pass, assuming a confrontational posture that no matter whether you rush over or not, I will never take the initiative to attack.
