Chapter 894: Family Affairs
It's just that this time he is not as enthusiastic as before, because now the wealthy families of the Hojo family have already known what the Hojo family wants to think about themselves, so they did not immediately send troops, but are waiting, if the Takayama army can eliminate the Hojo clan, he will not hesitate to return to the Takayama family, although the treatment in the Takayama family is probably not very good, but at least there is hope of keeping the family name, but this undoubtedly caused great resistance to Saito and other three coalition forces. Especially when the three families came to Hachizaki Castle, it didn't go as smoothly as expected, and after the two soft eggs under the command of the Hojo clan were wasted for a long time, they entered the city.
Yasaki Chengzuna is also helpless, he doesn't want to let the other party into the city, but there are nearly a thousand troops outside the city, and he is also a vassal of the Hojo family, if he doesn't let them in, it really can't be said, and at this time, although the wealthy family of the Hojo family has the intention of betrayal, but after all, there is no plan to implement it, so even if he doesn't want to, he has to do it. Especially when he learned that this Hojo Army had been defeated by the Takayama Army, and seeing that they were also very embarrassed, they should not be unfavorable to him, so he was a little relieved. And his current plan is to stabilize this army first, and once the mountain army comes to attack, then he will open the city to welcome the mountain army into and destroy them, so that he can be regarded as a meritorious achievement.
After having this idea, he still opened the city gate and welcomed the remnants of the Hojo family in, but as soon as this army entered the city, he couldn't help but move, although there were more than 400 troops in Yasaki Castle, but not only were they at a disadvantage, but they were unprepared. And how can it be an opponent of the coalition. It's a pity that Yasaki Chengzuna has the heart of returning to the Takayama family. But before he could say anything, he was beheaded.
And as soon as he was taken, those troops under his command had no reason to resist, and the battle lasted only a short time before it was completely over, and none of the samurai could stay, all of them went to Huangquan to be with Yasaki Chengzuna, and even his family did not escape this catastrophe. As for those ashigaru, according to the previous method, after handing over the armor and weapons, all of them were blown away, and the three of Saito Kenhiro were not afraid of them leaking secrets, after all, these ashigaru were all local villagers, and for them, it would be a long way to go out of the village, not to mention that they were going to other forces to report, even if they went, they would not be believed by other forces at all with their identity.
After taking the city. The three of them did not discuss the issue of the distribution of the loot, for them. These are all trivial things, there is no need to delay too much time on this, and there is no army left in the city to be responsible for defense, such a small city has no need to defend at all, just after bringing the gate, immediately go straight to the next Hao clan's territory.
In this way, for several days, the three coalition forces only did three things, one was to rest, including eating, sleeping, and convenience, the other was to hurry, and the rest was to attack. Nothing else. In the 15-day offensive, the combat power of the troops under the command of the three families has still been greatly improved, although the elite of the hundred battles is not counted, but at least it will not be embarrassing to pull it out, once the training and equipment keep up, then it is not much worse than the strength of the army directly under the Gao Shan family.
Of course, you can't do this just by stealing the city, in a few days, the three coalition forces still encountered a few hard nails, these few wealthy families have decided to surrender after hearing that the reinforcements of the Takayama family attacked Ueno, so they don't give the coalition any face at all, although Saito Kenhiro and others can identify themselves, in order to achieve the purpose of making them submit, but they thought that Takayama seemed to want to control rather than master, so in the end they still did not do so, but led the army to start an attack on the city, if it was just to attack a single wealthy family, With their morale of nearly a thousand troops, there was no problem at all, and although the battle for the capture of the city brought them some losses, in the end, apart from wasting some more time, the result did not change much.
In this way, it took less than twenty days for the three coalition forces to wipe out all the Ueno clans, and even those small forces that only had a few hundred stones did not let go, looking at the entire Ueno, in addition to his three families, only Kamaharara Yukishige was left.
The clan really didn't pay much attention to the actions of the three families, and after meeting with them at the end of the day, he just told Mizuse Uemon that he only needed to tell him the results of the three wealthy clans' attack on Ueno.
And Mizuse Uemon is unswervingly carrying out this order, originally after he captured Minowa Castle, he was like reporting to the lord, but just when he had this idea, he received news that the other party had begun to attack Yasaki Castle, since these three still have action, then there is no need to report, at that time the lord said clearly, is to report the results, since they are still attacking, then there is no result, so he can only continue to pay attention. This attention is terrible, not only does the other party not have any intention of stopping, but he can receive news from Ueno every day, and what makes him even more shocked, the performance of these three families is really crazy, the craziest time, even received the news that he won two cities and five mountains in one day, and captured two cities and five mountains in one day, regardless of how the city was taken, but this ability is not much worse than that of the lord back then. He really wanted to report this information to the lord immediately, but he didn't forget the lord's order, and in the end he could only continue to pay attention to it and not report it.
During this time, the clan is not busy, except for occasionally inspecting the training of the army, it is basically to soak at home and have fun with the family, especially for the daughter Ningzi, although there are still a few years of hard work before he gets married, and the person he marries is also a person who is about to become a retainer of the family, but the clan is still a little sad, marrying a daughter-in-law is a happy thing, marrying a girl really makes the clan not happy, he is not a person who only cares about interests and does not care about anything else, so these days, he has been by their side. The clan was chatting with a few ladies, while Zhengsheng was teaching his younger brothers martial arts, and the two daughters were whispering at this time.
"Sister, it's not about you as a sister, let's not talk about what happened to that Satake Yoshinobu, but as a woman married out of this family, you must be strong, and it is best to tame that Satake Yoshinobu, only in this way can you not be bullied. You don't know. I've heard a lot about my sister. There are many women who have a very miserable life after getting married. ”
Hearing her sister say this, Ning Zi just smiled lightly, and then said: "Sister said that she laughed, Ning Zi felt that as a wife, only by being gentle and virtuous can she win her husband's heart, if she is just blindly strong." Then not only will you leave a bad reputation, but you will also be ridiculed, and most importantly, you will no longer be able to catch your husband's heart. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but secretly look in the direction of the clan on the side, and then continued: "Don't you see our mother is a good example, the mother can get the heart of the father, not because of strength, but because of sincerity, only sincerity." in order to be able to get a long-lasting relationship. Ning Zi said as he spoke, revealing a yearning look over and over again.
"You little girl, you know the feelings of a fart. My sister tells you not to compare those stinky men outside with my father, our father is the only one in the world, and those ugly men outside, they don't have a good thing at all. Haruko couldn't help but be a little angry when she saw that her sister had a reasonable objection to herself, so she said unhappily.
After seeing her sister's angry expression, Ning Zi couldn't help laughing, and said, "If my sister says that, wouldn't it even be counted as Genjiro?" ”
Hearing that she was teased by her sister because of her slip of the tongue, Haruko became even more angry, only to hear her say: "Hmph, don't compare any man to my father, even Genjiro, if I wasn't so strong, I'm afraid he wouldn't be obedient to me." ”
Hearing Haruko pull the topic back again, Ningzi really didn't want to discuss this issue with her sister anymore, so she took the opportunity to quickly throw out a new topic, only to hear her say: "Sister, did my father agree to Genjiro's matter." ”
"Shhhh Be quiet. Haruko heard the other party mention her father's attitude towards this matter, and even said it so loudly, so she blocked her mouth with her index finger again, made a silent motion, and looked at her father.
The matter between her and Genjiro, that is only private, how can this matter be known to her father, Haruko also knows, her sister Bing Ji is undoubtedly very lucky, at that time, the power of the family was not strong, and the Takayama family basically did not need political marriage to achieve any purpose, because her father did not look down on those who proposed marriage at all, she and Maeda-sama could say that it was completely acquiesced by her father, and in addition to the fact that Maeda Toshi-sama proposed to his father for his son, so it could be decided, but he and Genjiro ...... Don't look at him as just a girl, but as a martial artist, and the daughter of a million stone power, he also knows a lot about politics, because in this era, once a daughter is born, then they will become a tool for the survival of the family, and the other forces are without exception, even if it is the main hall is not to win over the Asai family, but still marry their favorite sister, so from the beginning of their sensibility, they have learned to pay attention to other forces in the world, and analyze that family may become their own destination, So don't look at Haruko's big grin on weekdays, but her mind is still very delicate.
Originally, she thought that the many families with two grandfathers in the family who were good friends with the Takayama family should not need political marriages, even if it was a marriage, it was someone else who sent their daughters to the family, plus there was an example of her sister, so she would chase after Genjiro Sanada, and when Genjiro had no choice but to accept it, she also thought that Genjiro should be her final destination.
But with Ningzi's marriage decided, her firm belief has begun to waver, and this matter has also made it clear to him, no matter how strong the family is, it is difficult to avoid political marriage, although the strength of the family is already there, there is no need to climb any power, even if it is to marry, it is to win over those forces that are worth wooing, even if you marry in the past, you will definitely not suffer, but after all, you are married to someone you don't like, how can you be happy.
And now there are only two daughters in the family, he and Ningzi, and Ningzi's marriage has been decided, so only one can complete the marriage again.
If this is just the need of the family, then the attitude of the Sanada family, it makes her feel panicked, it was reported that after the sister just dated the brother-in-law of Richo, the Lord Maeda Riya immediately proposed to his father, but now he and Genjiro have been privately agreed for nearly half a year, and in this half year, he also asked him to talk to his father about the proposal, but the hateful Lord Sanada Masayuki, it seems that there is no such plan, is it absolutely that the princess is not worthy of the little villain of his family? The pressure on both sides is now all concentrated on Haruko, which casts a shadow over her childhood.
But of course not, Sanada Masayuki doesn't want to marry the Takayama family, although Haruko's female personality is really out of the woods, and it's stronger, but after all, this is the daughter of the lord, and the appearance and talent are not bad, plus Genjiro himself is also willing, this is actually a very happy karma for the Sanada family, but Sanada Masayuki also took into account the situation of the Takayama family, so he didn't rush to propose.
There are many heirs of the lord, but there are only three daughters, needless to say the eldest daughter, the remaining two daughters will inevitably become the best bargaining chips for the family to encircle the various forces in the future, sure enough, now that Ningzi has a home, then I'm afraid this Qingzi will not be too far away, if he rashly proposes marriage, then not to mention that the lord will not agree, even if he reluctantly agrees, he will leave an impression in the heart of the lord who does not know the general situation, although with his current status, with the wisdom and wisdom of the lord, he should not be what he will do, But I was afraid that he would also be left out in the cold in the future, so he just waited and saw and did not take any action.
Haruko and Ningzi's actions aroused the minds of many people in the room, and among these people, including the Takayama clan.
"Why are you two arguing again, Haruko, you're a sister, you have to let a little sister." The clan said in a calm tone, although he didn't hear what the two were talking about just now, but as long as these two precious girls quarrel together, then you don't need to ask to know that it must be Qingzi bullying Ningzi, as for the basis...... This must be a preconceived impression. However, the clan is not angry, don't look at the two sisters because of their completely opposite personalities, they are usually noisy, but the clan knows that the relationship between the two is excellent, so there is no meaning to blame.
It's just that he thought that he would be over after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that Haruko actually mustered up the courage to come over. (To be continued.) )
