Chapter 1010: Which retainer traitor is stronger?

The Utsunomiya family, barely after the famous family, is located in Shimono, and the other sorcerers are strolling around, such as the Iyo Utsunomiya family.

In Shimono Country, the strength of the Utsunomiya family is still extraordinary, and in addition, the Nasu family, the Koyama family, and the Sano family can compete with the Utsunomiya family. However, at this time, the Utsunomiya family has declined, and the power in the family has been stolen by the old Mitsunaya of the pen family.

The decline of the Utsunomiya family began during the Utsunomiya period, which was known as the "Lord of Zhongxing" of the Utsunomiya family.

Utsunomiya Naritatsuna succeeded to the family governor at the age of ten. At that time, the governor of the family, Utsunomiya Masasuna, suddenly died violently in the military formation, and the Utsunomiya family was panicked, and it was a critical moment to hold on to the enemy.

However, the ten-year-old Utsunomiya Narita soon exerted his ability, taking advantage of the chaos in the family after the death of the head of the Koyama family next door, Koyama Zhizheng, decisively invaded the Toga County of the Koyama family, and stabilized the morale of the army in one fell swoop.

Internally, Utsunomiya Chengzuna successively settled the dispute between the two retainers of Fanghe and Takemao, so that the family became stable.

After that, he beat the Ashina family in Aizu and captured Shiobara Castle and other places. Then he defeated the Kanuma family and occupied Kanuma Castle, nearly doubling the power of the Utsunomiya family. At the same time, he actively intervened in the internal affairs of his wife's maiden family, the Nasu family, and tore B with the Satake family, increasing the prestige of the Utsunomiya family in the Kanto region, making the Utsunomiya family the strongest force in the northeastern Kanto region.

However, in the later years of Utsunomiya Seitsuna, infighting broke out in the family.

The cause of the incident was the civil strife of the Furukawa Gongkata. At that time, due to the discord between the Ashikaga Masashi clan of the Furukawa Gongfang and his son Ashikaga Takaki, and the death of Uesugi Kensei (the mediator of both sides), the head of the Uesugi family, the opposition between the Ashikaga Masaka clan and Ashikaga Takaki began to surface.

Ashikaga Takaji ran to the territory of the old man Utsunomiya Narita, hoping to use the strength of the old man to help him achieve victory, and the forces that joined the Ashikaga Takaji side were also the Yuki clan, the Oda clan, the Kaminasu clan, as well as Hojo Sakumo, Date Uemune (soy sauce) and others.

The Ashikaga Masashi clan had the support of Satake, Koyama, Iwaki, Sano and other forces, and the two sides involved in the war covered almost all the wealthy clans in the Kanto region, so the entire Kanto region was in chaos.

And within the Utsunomiya family, they were also divided into two factions because of the issue of supporting the Ashikaga Masashi and Ashikaga Takaki.

When the lord Utsunomiya Seitsuna naturally supported his son-in-law Ashikaga Takaki, but one of the retainers, Yoshiga Takatsu, a major minister, supported the Ashikaga Masakatsu!

Haga Takakatsu is the uncle of Utsunomiya Naritatsuna, who was despised by his retainers because he was too young, and it was thanks to the support of Haga Takatsu that he was able to control the power of the family.

For this reason, Utsunomiya Naritatsuna was very grateful to Yoshiga Takatsu, not only rewarded him with a large fief, but also trusted Yoshiga Takatsu very much. And Hoga Takatsu gradually tasted the taste of power and began to want to do things, so he took advantage of the civil strife between the Ashikaga Masaka clan and his father to openly confront the lord Utsunomiya Seitsuna.

However, with the support of forces such as the Utsunomiya family, Ashikaga Takaki eventually emerged victorious, frustrating Haga Takatsu's plans. At this time, Utsunomiya Chengzuna announced his seclusion and gave up the position of family governor to his son Utsunomiya Tadazuna, but the actual power was still in the hands of Utsunomiya Chengzuna.

Finally, a series of actions by Utsunomiya Naritatsuna paralyzed Haga Takatsuna, and Yoga Takatsuna was killed by Utsunomiya Naritatsuna, and the retainers on Yoga Takatsuna's side were also purged by Utsunomiya Naritatsuna!

At this time, Utsunomiya Narita also came to the end of his life. Although the Utsunomiya family was revitalized, the son who succeeded to the throne, Utsunomiya Tadsuna, was a little unsatisfactory.

At that time, the relationship between the Utsunomiya family and the Yuki family next door was actually very good, and the daughter of Utsunomiya Narita was the main room of the Yuki Haruto, plus in the civil strife of the Furukawa Princess, they all belonged to the Ashikaga Takaki side, and the good ones of the two families were about to wear a pair of pants.

However, after the death of Utsunomiya Narita, the two families had a dispute over the division of the territorial border. Utsunomiya Tadsuna was also not a big person, and in the end the two families argued over this issue, which eventually led to a deterioration in the relationship.

At the same time, Utsunomiya Tadsuna also made the retainers very dissatisfied at home because of his mediocre ability (after all, there is an NB father in front). The retainer Yoshiga Takatsune (Yoshiga Takatsu's younger brother) secretly communicated with the Yuki family and wanted to make a wave of things.

At this time, the Yuki family was in a dispute with the Utsunomiya family over the border of the territory, so they prepared to send troops to retake it by force and attacked the Utsunomiya family. Utsunomiya Tadasuna led his troops into battle, but was defeated and returned. Imaizumi Moritaka, an important minister, died in battle, losing this important supporter, leaving Utsunomiya Tadatsuna even less powerful to restrain his retainers.

And Yoga Takatsune, together with other retainers who were dissatisfied with Utsunomiya Tadsuna, took advantage of Utsunomiya Tadazuna's absence to occupy Utsunomiya Miyagi Castle, and the defeated Utsunomiya Tadatsuna was homeless and could only temporarily live in Kanuma Castle, the residence of the retainer Mibu Tadama. Originally, the Mibu clan had a low presence in the Utsunomiya family, but because of their contribution to supporting the rebellion of Ashikaga Takaki and the pacification of Yoshiga Takatsu, they gradually came to the fore.

However, Mibu Tsunawa, who was considered the savior by Utsunomiya Tadazuna, was also a full careerist, and it didn't take long for him to kill Utsunomiya Tadsuna, and then together with Yoshiga Takatsune, he supported Utsunomiya Tadsuna's son, Utsunomiya Kotsuna, as a puppet.

Utsunomiya Xingzuna was only 10 years old at this time, and he didn't understand any, and the power in the family was completely in the hands of Hoga Takatsune and Mibu Tsunafu. After Utsunomiya Xingzuna became an adult, Hoga Takatsune and Mibu Tsunabe began to tear up again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two powerful ministers began to tear B, Utsunomiya Xinggang also wanted to take back the power of the family, but in the end he failed and was imprisoned by Yoshiga Takatsune, and had no choice but to live in seclusion, and the position of the family governor was inherited by the son of the vulgar Utsunomiya Shanggang.

Utsunomiya Shangzuna is not at the same level as his father at all, and he showed his strength as soon as he came up! First reconciled and formed alliances with forces such as Koyama and Yuuki, and then united with Mibu Gangbo to kill Hoga Takatsune, and then exiled Yoshiga Takatsune, the son of Yoshiga Takatsune, and then let the son of his retainer Mashiko Katsumune succeed him to the Hoga family (芳嘉高定), thus regaining some of the rights of the family.

One operation frightened the non-sheng gangfang, and there is still something to do with Lao Tzu if it goes on like this?

In September of the 18th year of Astronomy, the Utsunomiya family went to war with the Shimono Nasu family, and Utsunomiya Natsuna personally led the troops to the battle. At the beginning of the battle, the Utsunomiya family was attacked by the Nasu family, and the strength of the army began to be unstable.

In order to encourage morale, Utsunomiya Shangzuna personally led the team to charge, coupled with the efforts of the retainers, father and son, and others, almost overturned the Nasu family directly! However, Minoru Aise Minoru Saise, a retainer of the Nasu family's subordinate Iohno Shimune, shot Utsunomiya Naotsuna, who led the charge, with a bow and arrow, at the age of 37.

If Utsunomiya Shangzuna doesn't die, maybe it's another hero, but history has no ifs.

Immediately afterwards, Mizu Tsunafu, who had been aggrieved for a long time, took advantage of the death of Utsunomiya Shanggang to seize Utsunomiya Castle in one fell swoop, and the Utsunomiya family was once again seized by the retainers......
