Five days later, Feathertail City held another review. At this time, Feather City has been taken over by Sanada Nobushige's Sanada Clan.
Not only the Umino clan, but also the local Nezu clan, Mochizuki clan, and almost all the Shino clans from Azuma County were present at the meeting.
Sanada Nobushige took the chief position without hesitation, and Umino Totsuna, the general leader of the Shino clan, could only take the second place.
Hanao Yukiyo looked embarrassed, and Kamara Yukishige's face was not much better. The two of them had been fighting for half their lives, but they never expected that this girl, Sanada Nobushige, would be kicked to the ground with brute force.
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. In the past few days, several strong-minded Ziye tribesmen have raised objections, and then they were massacred and burned to death together with the villagers.
They also saw that Sanada Nobushige had no intention of negotiating terms with everyone. She takes everyone out to fight for their future, which is the greatest gift. Whoever disagrees can go and die.
After slaughtering several families and using their blood to sign declarations of surrender for everyone, Sanada Nobushige became the leader of the Shino clan in Azuma County.
Yukiyuki Sanada was sitting in the distance, watching his sister dominate the scene with a complicated expression. The two had only been separated for more than half a year, and Sanada Nobushige was a completely different person.
In the eyes of others, Sanada Nobushige is still the same silly little girl. But Sanada Yukiyuki, the sister who grew up together, doesn't feel like this.
When my sister grew up, she was no longer fooling around, but became a crazy gambler. Because she didn't have enough chips, she put all her bets on every hand, just to get the maximum return.
What is she worried about when she gambles so irritably and restlessly? It was as if there was an invisible whip behind her urging her to run forward with all her strength.
Yukiyuki Sanada didn't say a word in the past few days, but just watched her sister doing things silently. The Sanada family can sit aside and express their support for Sanada Nobushige, but they cannot speak casually.
Among the three Shino clans of Toshin, the two clans of Nezu and Mochizuki have long knelt down to serve as dogs for the Takeda family. Yukitaka Sanada came back late as the representative of the Umino lineage, but he made the most meritorious service and climbed the highest.
The Takeda family has no intention of conquering Nishi Ueno for the time being, and the Shino clan of Toshin does not have much intention to contact their fellow clansmen in Azuma County. There is contact between the two parties, but there is no interest and the relationship is not close.
But Sanada Nobushige's move this time was to connect the Shino clan in the two places through the Sanada family, which gave Sanada Yukitaka something to look forward to.
However, this is not a good thing for Yukiyuki Sanada personally.
She watched her sister's growth with cold eyes, and felt that the figure of the wild girl who was following her and getting close to her was gradually dimming.
Instead, there was a pair of ambitious and decisive leaders of the Sanada clan.
My grandmother, Yukitaka Sanada, is very old, and my mother, Masayuki Sanada, is in her prime and will definitely be able to stabilize the family business.
But who should be given the third generation of the Sanada family? Yukiyuki Sanada? Or Nobushige Sanada?
Sanada Nobushige didn't know what his sister was thinking off the court. The most important thing for her now was to seize the opportunity and win Iwaki Castle.
In five days, the Shino clan of Azuma County had reached a consensus with the iron and blood efforts of Sanada Nobushige.
She said solemnly.
"Please come forward, all household governors!"
The governors of each family of the Ziye clan came forward and sat in a circle.
Sanada Nobushige pulled out the ribs and cut his thumb, then everyone pulled out the ribs and cut their thumbs together, and taped everyone's wounds together.
Sanada Nobushige took the lead, and everyone followed.
"There are spirits in the mountains, and the descendants of the Shiye clan once again swear a blood oath and form a sisterhood. They support each other in life and death, and help each other in good and bad times. We rely on each other for blessings and misfortunes, and support each other in adversity!"
Sanada Nobushige said sharply.
"Umino Riichi! Bring up the oath!"
"Hi!"
Umino Toshi pressed the white paper on which the oath was written on the floor with both hands. The leaders of the Shino family, headed by Sanada Nobushige, stepped forward one after another and pressed the blood mark with the wound of their thumb.
After the ladies finished, Sanada Nobushige said.
"Liu Niang, keep the oath. Wait until we take Songshan City and burn it to the mountain spirit in Songshan Mountain."
"Hi!"
Iwakaku Castle blocks the passage out of Naganohara Town to the east and is a mountain fortress that is difficult to break.
After passing Iwaki Castle, there is Mount Haruna to the south and Mount Komochi to the east, which opens the official road from the Shinano Mountains into Nishi Ueno.
Southeast of Iwaki Castle is the coastal plain of the Azuma River in Higashi Azuma Town, and going northeast is the Nakanojo Basin where Nakanojo Town is located.
Songshan Mountain in the center of the Nakazhijo Basin is not towering, but it is the sacred mountain of mountain belief in this area. Songshan City, built on Songshan Mountain, is a branch city of Yangui City.
Iwaki Castle was originally the territory of the Azuma family during the Kamakura Shogunate period. During the chaos of the Kamakura Muromachi shogunate, the Azuma family fell into decline and relied on the Saito family for revival, so the Miao name was changed to Saito.
After surviving the Kanto system of the Kamakura Ashikaga family, the Saito family of Iwakiku Castle managed Iwakiku Castle as an official of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
The superior of her family was from the Shirai Nagao family, a member of a distinguished family who had served as the head of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
Shirai Castle is located south of Mount Shimochi and east of Mount Haruna, guarding the coastal plain where the Azuma River flows southeast. Therefore, Iwaki Castle also regards the branch city of Shirai Castle as its own value and continues to this day.
by the way.
If you walk northeast from Iwaki Castle and pass through Takayama Village along the northern foot of Mt. Shimochi, you will find Numata Castle where Numata County is located.
The famous Walnut Castle stuck at the northern foot of Mount Shimochi is a branch of Numata Castle.
Numata Castle and Shirai Castle are important towns in the northern part of Ueno Country. They are the entrances and exits connecting Echigo Country and Shinano Country. They are very important for the Echigo army moving south.
Sanada Nobushige hoped to capture Iwakaku Castle, named Walnut Castle, because these two cities are branch cities of Shirai Castle and Numata Castle respectively, and can directly intimidate from the side and rear.
As long as these two cities are captured, the value of the Sanada people represented by Sanada Nobunshige in the heart of Shiba Yoshigan will be completely different.
Even if she died, she would seize this opportunity. Let the imperial office look at you with admiration!
After the oath, the expressions of the concubines relaxed a lot.
The mountains and mountains are the unique belief of the mountain people. Compared with the capriciousness of the martial arts outside the mountains who tear up the covenant like a piece of paper, the binding force of the Shiye clan's oath taken by the mountains is still very strong.
After completing the oath, the families in Azuma County no longer have to worry about Sanada Nobushige turning their backs and killing them, and Sanada Nobushige no longer doubts the sincerity of his fellow clansmen in Azuma County to follow him.
Sanada Nobushige asked the ladies.
"The Saito family in Rock Cabinet City probably don't know yet, but we are planning to take advantage of her family.
Are there any of our tribesmen in Rock Cabinet City? Is it possible to open the city gate for us? "
Yanqi City is a mountain fortress that has been built for more than two hundred years. It has been repaired and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there was a way to steal the city, Sanada Nobushige wouldn't want to bite the bullet.
Kamara Yukishige said.
"The Saito family of Iwaki City is not a good person. This generation of family governor Saito Norihiro is already trying to make plans for us. She has been trying to win over people and wants to take over my Kamahara Castle."
After saying that, she glanced at Yukiyo Yukiyo and sneered.
