When the two Giriki warriors under Yi Gin's command said very unreasonable things, thought about very unreasonable things, and criticized each other.
Blocking the passage from Joetsu to Central Vietnam, Hojo Castle in the Kashiwazaki area is being torn apart by Uesugi Teruhora with brute force.
The samurai in Hojo Castle thought that this was an ordinary rebellion experience, no different from usual.
In Echigo, you never participated in the rebellion, and you were too embarrassed to go out and say hello to people. You were like those idiots in China and Vietnam who only knew how to collect taxes.
I heard that this time, those cowardly guys also raised their swords and guns. It was really a unique carnival.
Children who cry will be fed with milk, and the Wu family who can rebel will be given priority to appease them. Those idiots finally understand some sense.
As for the outcome, Hojo Takahiro has nothing to worry about.
The arrogant and arrogant fellows of the Shimoyue Yangbei tribe made troubles several times, but Uesugi Teruhu didn't do anything to them. At most, he was harsh on the military food service.
However, they have maintained their independence and have the autonomy that is the envy of generations of retainers like Hojo Takahiro.
This time she persuaded the surrounding martial arts families to participate in this matter, just with the mentality of supporting the invaders and respecting themselves, and just sat back and watched the rebellions in China and Vietnam.
Everyone gathered together to negotiate conditions with Kasugayama Castle, who was eager to put down the rebellion, so that the treatment in the future would be better.
As long as they negotiate well, they will give way. They don't care what will happen to the rebel Wu family when they go to Central Vietnam.
If the Nagao family in the mansion fails to suppress the rebellion, even better, the Hojo family can also be divided into one party and no longer have to bear military and food services.
appropriate.
Everything was going smoothly originally, Usami Sadami was already communicating with the samurai family in the city.
But then the situation took a turn for the worse. Uesugi Teruhu returned to the country and led his army to suppress the rebellion. Usami Sadamitsu issued a fierce warning.
The martial arts family in the city didn't pay much attention to it. The real master came just in time to negotiate terms. Unexpectedly, last night, the wells in the city stopped producing water.
In Hojo Castle, a group of Ji warriors held a meeting in the castle lord's residence.
Hojo Castle is not big, it has not yet been equipped with a castle tower, and the city defense is not strong. This is why Kakizaki Keiji fiercely said that it would take three days to defeat it.
Hojo Takahiro hesitated to take the throne, and her legitimate daughter Hojo Kehiro persuaded him.
"Mother, please accept it as soon as you can.
From the message from Lord Usami, it seems that His Highness is really angry this time, and it will not end well if the trouble continues. "
Hojo Takahiro looked at his daughter dissatisfied.
The Echigo Hojo family has nothing to do with the former Hojo family of the Kamakura shogunate or the Gohojo family that now dominates the Kanto Plain.
They belong to the Maori family of the Oe clan, the great minister of Kamakura, and their status is not low. Compared with the Maori family of the Western Kingdom, they are closer to direct descendants in blood.
Because they thrived in Echigo Hojo Castle, the Miao name was changed to Hojo.
The Oe family was highly respected among the Kanto samurai families, and the Nagao family in the Fuchu family also looked at Hojo Takahiro differently. They did well when Uesugi Teruhora's mother was in power.
However, after Uesugi Teruhora came to power, he placed more emphasis on his direct ministers who followed him in the southern and northern wars, and closely followed the banner family of the samurai family.
He also integrated the San Nagao family as the foundation, and alienated a lot of family members.
Hojo Takahiro was dissatisfied with his marginalized status, so he was immediately persuaded by Daxiong Chaohide to participate in the rebellion.
If he surrenders without getting any benefit, the Echigo Hojo family will lose a lot of face.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his mother, Hojo Kagehiro sighed secretly. The Ji warriors participating in the meeting were also on both ends of the spectrum, and nothing could be discussed at the moment.
At this time, there was an urgent report from outside that the city was under siege, and the Kakizaki Kei family began to attack the city. Zhu Ji hurriedly went out to defend the city, and the surrender had to be put on hold for the time being.
When they arrived at the city wall, Hojo Takahiro discovered that the situation was indeed different from usual, and a section of the city wall collapsed.
Japanese-style city wall, with lower wall and upper wall, and earth barrier at the bottom.
The wall generally uses stones in several stacking methods to raise the city wall, while the wall is a wooden structure mixed with earth and stone. The wall is painted with fireproof paint and shooting holes are set.
The city wall consists of these three parts. The outer perimeter is a fence to prevent horses, and a ditch-like ditch forms the outer defense line of a general flat castle.
In addition to mountain fortresses that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, flat castles generally value residential purposes and the economic value of castle towns.
Hojo Castle is the ancestral home of the Echigo Hojo family passed down from generation to generation. Although it relies on the mountains, it is not a solid fortress-like mountain castle, but an ordinary flat mountain castle.
Seeing that a section of his city wall collapsed, he contacted the wells in the city to cut off the water supply. Hojo Takahiro immediately realized that Teruhora Uesugi had brought the Nuggets.
First, a tunnel was dug under the city and supported by wooden frames. When the army launched an offensive, the supports were pulled out. The hollow earth barrier under the city wall collapsed, causing the city wall to collapse.
The mountain fortress has its own set of defense measures against excavations, but Hojo Castle is a Hirayama Castle with gradually expanding ancestral territory. Without such precautions, it was accidentally thrown into crisis.
Kakizaki Keike spent the entire day yesterday without making any move, just waiting for the Nuggets to do something overnight. Now that everything is ready, the attack will begin in the morning.
Hojo Takahiro stayed until noon, when his daughter Hojo Kagehiro pulled him aside and whispered urgently.
"Mom, return to Honmaru and defend here quickly. We can't defend here anymore.
I will lead people to withstand this offensive and buy you time. "
Hojo Takahiro looked around. There were two pills inside and outside Hojo Castle. There were beacon smoke everywhere on the outside. There were constant killing sounds, and it was about to fall.
Even if he thought about retreating to Honmaru, he couldn't hold it back. Looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, he naturally knew what she really thought.
Sighing, he stopped being stubborn and said.
"No more retreat, we surrender."
"Hi! Mother is wise."
Hojo Takahiro felt heartbroken when he saw that his hometown was in a mess, stealing chickens but losing rice. He really lost his capital.
"You're a wise man, go ahead."
———
Terutora Uesugi led a group of warriors into the Hojo Castle where the smoke was still burning.
At the wooden gate below the city, the rebel samurai led by Hojo Takahiro all fell to the ground to plead guilty.
She walked up to Hojo Takahiro in a few steps, holding the handle of the knife in her hand, and glanced at her neck with a fierce look in her eyes.
"Why don't you continue? I'm still waiting to kill you and kill all of you bastards.
Fight! Why don't you fight? "
She kicked Hojo Takahiro over.
Hojo Takahiro crawled back and knelt down again, lowered his head and said repeatedly.
"I am aware of my guilt."
However, Uesugi Teruhu couldn't see her lowering her head, her eyes full of humiliation, gritting her teeth and kneeling down, unable to move.
On the side, Usami Sada couldn't stand it anymore, walked to Uesugi Teruhora, and persuaded in a low voice.
"Your Highness, since Lord Hojo has surrendered, it is better not to humiliate him too much and lose your dignity."
Uesugi Teruhora looked at her with lightning eyes, making her bow her head, not daring to make any mistakes.
Usami Sada didn't want to stand out, but Kakizaki Keie, who was watching the joke, would never say anything to save Hojo Takahiro's face. Only she could do this.
Although Uesugi Teruhu has many shortcomings, she has her own ability to stabilize Echigo.
Since taking office, she has used members of the San Nagao family and promoted young and brave cronies to form the Echigo Military Group with a direct, close, and banner structure.
Terutora Uesugi is extremely talented and has never lost a battle. With continuous victories, the military's basic base is extremely stable.
Although he lost a lot of points politically, he relied on his military talent and military support to secure his position as Lord of Echigo.
The military group's idea is simple, the master who can continuously bring them victory is a good master.
Not to mention that Teruhora Uesugi was a generous man, protective of his cronies, generous in sharing profits, and loyal to those directly under his command.
Among the three factions within the Nagao family in the mansion, the faction with direct military merits is her best friend, who has always been domineering and arrogant.
The two factions, the genealogical retainers and the surrendered old ministers, had no choice but to huddle together for warmth.
Therefore, Usami Sadamitsu, who was born as a former vassal, interceded for Hojo Takahiro, who was the vassal of the generation, while Kakizaki Keie of the Naoomi faction watched the show from the sidelines.
Uesugi Teruhu beat and scolded Hojo Takahiro, leaving no face for Usami Sadamitsu.
This time she went to Luo Kyoto, and Usami Sadamitsu took on the responsibility of monitoring the situation. As a result, the place was full of chicken feathers and rebellions broke out.
Hojo Takahiro went even further. The Kashiwazaki area, which is the passage between Joetsu and China, should have been the territory of the Fuchu Nagao family.
Hojo Castle actually rebelled and blocked Joetsu's counterinsurgency army. This is simply unreasonable!
If the overall situation of Echigo is corrupted, these two people are the culprits, as well as the unknown Nagao Masaki.
Terutora Uesugi's military base is the Nagao sect, and she has always been lenient.
But the Nagao House Superintendent Ueda rebelled, slapped her hard in the face, and took off the panties of the three Nagao Alliance, which made outsiders laugh.
The above-mentioned Sugi Teruhu's always arrogant temperament made these three people feel bad.
However, due to the special political environment of Echigo, she could only beat and scold her a few times to settle the matter. Who knows how aggrieved she felt!
What made her even more irritated was that her sweetheart had already gone to Tochio Castle for the sake of these troublemaking bastards in Echigo, and she didn't know what the situation was like there.
"Kakizaki Kage, gather the reserve troops and integrate these bastards into the military."
"Hi!"
"Usami's appointment has been completed, the logistics and supplies are in order, and an envoy is sent to Tomoo Castle to explain the military situation."
"Hi!"
Uesugi Teruhora looked in the direction of Tochio Castle and stopped talking.
Due to the delay in Hojo Castle, she needed time to move the supply point forward and reorganize the logistics line.
Today is already the fourth day, and it will take two days at the earliest before departure, which will be the sixth day.
It took another three or four days for the army to arrive. Although it was within the ten-day period, it was still indescribably melancholy.
She always felt worried about gains and losses and was afraid of being looked down upon by someone. She had never felt this kind of feeling before.
Shiba Yiyin, you heart-stealer, one day, you will belong to me.
Don't even try to escape from my grasp!
