A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

From the enlarged meeting to the closed-door meeting within the Standing Committee, this was the first time that Xiao Pingtai was able to attend such a meeting. I didn't show off or show off, and sat quietly at the end. Of course, in terms of position, Xiaoping Tai is at least fifth or sixth from the bottom, and in terms of qualifications, he is first from the bottom, so there is no competition for it. This kind of meeting is less formal and more for consulting Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

To put it in simpler terms, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty summoned the Hanlin bachelors, the Song Dynasty emperor summoned the Guange bachelors, the Ming Dynasty emperor summoned the cabinet bachelors, and the Qing Dynasty emperor summoned the Eight Banners Baylor. People who are closer to each other discuss important national policies. Whether you listen or not depends entirely on the leader's wishes. The younger brother is only responsible for giving suggestions.

When everyone is seated in a row, the first thing to consider is the feasibility of the military plan. After all, the Hojo clan is a giant, with all the three kingdoms of Izu, Sagami, and Musashi, including Shimotsou, Kamizou, Anfang, Shimono, Ueno, Suruga, and Hitachi Each takes a part. The powerful and powerful man with no less than 300,000 guan suppressed the gangsters of Guandong and beat him on the ground. If he risked his life, 70,000 to 80,000 people would be able to pull him up immediately with a command, but he would be completely unbeatable, unbeatable.

The Yamauchi family couldn't bring their entire family fortune to control Uesugi Kento, so they mobilized more than 5,000 people led by Minami-Shinano Yamauchi, and then about a thousand people from the small prefecture of Saku. The long tail can hold thousands of people. If the local wealthy people can still incite some of them, the total force will not exceed nine thousand.

Xiaodaita thought to exaggerate, it would be nine thousand to ninety thousand. Isn't this a joke? Uesugi Kendou is so confident. Back then, he sent 83,000 people to beat up tens of thousands of people, but ended up losing all his money. Now, he dares to beat up people again just to greet these 9,000 people.

Let’s triple the quality and we won’t give it away! Farewell! goodbye!

According to what the messenger said, the Shimono Yoshiga clan and the Utsunomiya clan would also rise up to hold back part of Hojo's troops, and the Sekijuku Ryota clan would defend the city and raise the banner of Koga Koga. Moreover, Hojo also had to guard against the Hitachi-Oda clan, the Edo clan, the Otaru clan, and the Satake clan. In addition, the Satomi clan, Mr. An, the Imagawa clan, the Suruga clan, and the Kai-Takeda clan are not good enemies, and they all need to send people from the Hojo clan to guard against them. Hojo's actual military strength in Ueno was not strong, and the Yamauchi clan's army could handle it.

As long as Numata's Hojo Yasumoto can be defeated, then the forces of Kiryu Yura, Akai, Ashikaga Nagao and other forces in Shangzhou can be combined. With the status and appeal of Numata Yasumoto (who forcibly succeeded Numata Kenyasu as Hojo Tsunaru's son), the wealthy families in Ueno who temporarily surrendered to the Hojo clan would not really go out of their way to help him. This is absolutely true. Don't worry.

In this way, when entering Matsuda Castle on the border with Musashi, at least 15,000 troops can be gathered, which can barely resist Hojo's military power. However, the situation of the 10,000 people of the Minawa Nagano clan is unknown, so they cannot safely be placed in the rear.

At this time, Nagano Yasumasa was just one of the many retainers in charge of the Uesugi family, and his reputation was far inferior to that of Nagao Keihide, the family leader Ashikaga Nagao, who no one had ever heard of.

Koheta knew that Nagano Yamasa was absolutely loyal, but others were not sure. In this Warring States era, you sell me today and I sell you tomorrow. As long as the family name can survive, he can sell his own chrysanthemums. Niwa's long chrysanthemums have been sold for several years. God is moved by the fact that his family can be revived. With his military exploits and chrysanthemums, he can earn a hundred and seven thousand koku, cattle and horses. . Anyway, everyone's trust is only at the level of a blood-stained oath, and there is a limit to loyalty.

However, Chief Accountant Yamauchi, who has been in contact with Kanto all year round, is obviously well-informed. He introduced that the eldest son and second son of Nagano Imasa have sacrificed their lives for the housekeeper. In the previous years, during the night battle in Kawagoe, they all worked for Uesugi Ken. The back-up is dead, so Nagano Yimasa's loyalty should be pretty solid.

Xiaopingtai's historical knowledge is not very solid, so he only came to his senses after hearing what Chief Accountant Yamauchi said. It’s no wonder that when Nagano Yamasa died in his seventies, his son Nagano Yasumai was only in his early twenties. My son was tricked to death by Ken Uesugi when it came to relationships. But the old man can do it. When he is over fifty, he can not only mount a horse and fight, but also have great success in bed exercises.

It was confirmed that Nagano Yasumasa was just temporarily succumbing to the Hojo family as the messenger said, and he could change his mind at any time. Everyone was relieved.

Then the next step is the movement of the surrounding forces. Murakami Yoshikiyo of Northern Shin is completely annihilating the rebel forces in Northern Shin. He is going on a killing spree in Kawanakajima. He has even killed several famous families in Northern Shin (Kasaka Danmasa hurriedly came out to thank him) ), and had previously captured two counties in Echigo. It may not be too late to stabilize the place.

The Imagawa clan in Suruga Enjie has just concluded a no-war agreement, and the Jundong County is still in the hands of the Hojo clan. They will definitely be happy to see Hojo stabbed. He can take advantage of the situation to regain the lost territory, and maybe go to Izu to get a piece of the pie.

Koshu's Takeda is digesting part of Suwa and Saku's territory, and is still at the stage where he is just full and full, but he may want to fill his throat, so he needs to be on guard against this.

As for the Saito father and son in Mino, it is said that they have begun to confront each other. There are even rumors that Saito Yoshiryu is actually the son of the guardian Toki Raiun. Anyway, the father and son are no longer dealing with it. Kira of Mikawa was already in decline due to internal strife within the family division, and the people of the country raised their eyebrows, even if Hida did not mention it.

As long as the Nagano clan is stabilized, it is feasible to send troops. Then there is the cost of sending troops. It is Kitahata University's turn. Just look at Hokahata University. I rolled my eyelids a few times and then reported a number. When everyone heard it, it would be no problem for about 10,000 people to fight for half a month.

This seemed a bit small. Yamauchi Yoshiharu pondered for a moment, and then asked Xiaoping Tai if more than five thousand counterfeit coins for four months were enough to buy food from other places.

Xiao Pingtai thought about it and estimated this year's production. Even if the weather is good and there is no reduction in production, it is unlikely that he will be able to receive enough food next year when the harvest is lean.

Hokahata University believes that since the leader is leaning on the lap of the Echigo guardian Toruo Nagao clan, why not let the Nagao family provide part of it. This is a way, Yamauchi Yoshiharu nodded in agreement.

Finally, what are the benefits of sending troops? Ueno had been robbed by Hojo half a year ago, and now the country is poor and the people are poor. It's hard to say how much benefit the steward can provide.

We discussed and discussed in this way, but there was always no result. The main reason was that sending troops might not get enough returns.

The Yamauchi family is not engaged in charity work. If you can't make money from fighting bad wars, you can't reward and appease the samurai ashigaru. If you come a few times, no one will work for you. Don't think that everyone is too naive, and you won't be able to do it early if there is no benefit. If you want your subordinates to wake up early and stay late, you have to give up sports cars and Lafite. This is the truth, and it makes sense all over the world.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu was also in a dilemma. At this time, Koheta said in a deep voice: "I am a direct descendant of the Seiwa Genji family, and I am a member of the Ashikaga family!"

This sentence is shocking, yes, the Yamauchi family is a branch of the generals. If they do not maintain the old feudal hierarchy, how can they consolidate their position?

So the battle in Kanto was decided.

I slapped the table and asked my elder brothers for recommendation, and I knelt down.
