Chapter 900: Returning with Explosiveness
With his approval, the family members who were still hesitating at the scene also started to move, especially Sakura, who was very puzzled, she hadn't eaten animal meat, although this time the husband used a lot of ingredients to cook, but even so, how good could it be. But when she put a piece of mutton in her mouth, the idea just now was completely overturned by her, I have to say, although it is a little greasy, this taste is really different, and the taste is completely different from what she has eaten before.
When the clan saw that the family members were not resistant to the food in front of them, and those young children still showed intoxicated looks, the clan knew that it was half the success to promote meat in the territory, after all, if even his own family members were resistant to this, how could they ask others, and when the time came, those retainers, the people of Ashigaru would definitely say behind their backs, even the Takayama family itself did not eat, and even let us eat these things, if they really let them have such an idea, then the external ridicule is a trivial matter, I don't think it will be stable in my own territory. So let the family accept it first, this is the most important thing. Now it seems that his goal is about to be achieved, of course, tomorrow is the most important, because there is still a bubble waiting for everyone......
Sure enough, as the clan thought, the family was very satisfied with what they ate yesterday, but the problem is that early this morning, people began to have stomach troubles one after another, not only them, but even the clan itself did not escape this catastrophe, after all, they have not eaten meat for more than ten years, and the stomach has long been accustomed to light food, and suddenly ate so much meat violently, it is strange not to have diarrhea.
But even so, it didn't stop the clan's determination, and on the second day, everyone thought that the clan would not continue to eat meat, but who knew that not only did they not achieve their wishes, but they also ate in different ways. Miso mutton soup, lamb skewers, grilled chicken, lamb stew with radish...... Anyway, meat is indispensable for every meal, and after eating it for a few days, the family's stomach finally got used to it. At least I don't have stomach trouble anymore because I ate meat. And not only are the stomachs accustomed to it, but they really accept this kind of food. And in the past few days, except for the cows, basically all the birds and beasts that can be seen at the southern foot of Mt. Fuji have been eaten.
Now that the family has accepted it, then the next step is to let these retainers and the samurai of Qiben who came with him eat, of course, the cooking will definitely not be done by the clan himself, but he handed over a few simple methods to them, of course, like the dishes that need some really expensive seasonings, he didn't pass them on, after all, even if he said it. They can't afford it either.
The retainers are much easier to fool than the family members, let alone let them eat meat, even if they are allowed to die, they can't help but not go, but the clan is not to force them, but to make them really like to eat meat, and also count on them to promote. So I have been guiding them a lot these days.
This time, it's not enough to just eat. After all, once you go back, if you want to hunt these beasts again, it won't work, the civilians in the territory can do this, but the mountain army doesn't have this kung fu, so before coming. The clan thought about it, and this time he came to Mt. Fuji, mainly to build a ranch here, and only in this way could he continue to provide enough meat for the Takayama family. Of course, such a task was handed over to the Nakamura clan, and the clan had only one requirement for this ranch, that is, the output scale must meet the needs of 100,000 troops, although the current military strength of the Takayama family could not even reach half of it, but it could not help but consider it later.
After listening to this, Nakamura knew after a simple thought that the scale of this ranch was too small for 100,000 people to eat meat at least twice a week.
Not to mention the construction of the ranch, just say that as soon as the Takayama clan returned to Kofu, he received a report, Saito Kenhiro and others asked to see him outside the door, and the clan thought about it, it has been almost a month since he gave them the order at the beginning, and it is not surprising that they came at this time.
It's just that the three of them only came at this time, which means that even if they capture Gunma County, it is not clean, otherwise if it is planned properly, it will definitely not take such a long time, so the clan does not pay much attention to the three of them in his heart, even if he completes the previous promise to them, in terms of employment in the future, he does not plan to reuse these three people.
This time, the reason why Saito Kenhiro and the other three still came together is obvious, for them, this is the best opportunity to show their faces, if they miss it, then they will definitely regret it for life, so after the dispute, they finally had to make such a decision, as for Ueno, they took into account that because the action of the three coalition forces was very fast this time, the Hojo family thought of getting the news and reacting, it would take some time, and with this time, it was enough to go back and forth by themselves.
"In Shimosaito Kenhiro, Nobusada Kohata, Yura Nari Shigeru see Takayama-sama." As soon as they saw the clan, the three of them hurriedly saluted and said.
"Okay, the task I gave you is very complete?" Although the clan asked so, from the other party's demeanor, he had already got the answer, and he saw that the three of them were all smiling on their faces, which was enough to explain the problem.
"Returning to Takayama-sama, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission, not only to capture Gunma County, but now that the entire Ueno country has also been captured, this time I came here in the hope that my lord can immediately send troops to take over the defense of Ueno, so as not to take it back again by the Hojo family, and please make a decision." I saw Saito Kenhiro say with pride on his face, there are not many people who can show such a look in front of the clan, but the three of them can only rely on the strength of a thousand troops under their command to wipe out all the forces of Ueno Hojo and win nearly 300,000 stone land for the Takayama family, which is indeed something to be proud of.
After hearing what he said, the clan couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "You...... What did you just say? "It's no wonder that the clan will lose its temper, in his heart, it is not easy for the other three families to seize Gunma County, let alone the land of Ueno half of the country, which is completely impossible in his opinion, not to mention the three of them, even if they are replaced, they are not so sure, the only possibility is that those Hojo family wealthy clans, after seeing that the Hojo clan loyalty was wiped out, and the Hojo power of Ueno Country was greatly damaged, so they all surrendered to their own family, except for this method of winning Ueno, he really couldn't think of anything else.
But if that's the case, it's not good for the family at all, and the clan has already thought about it, and this Ueno will be beaten down, but it will be used as a divider. If there are a large number of wealthy families, then it will be a fart, but if you want to move these people, it will inevitably take a lot of effort, and these three people in front of you will really make trouble for themselves.
With such thoughts, I only heard the clan say, "I'm just asking you to wait to capture Gunma County." Why do you have to make your own decisions? ”
The three of them are waiting for the clan to praise them, but who knows, not only does the other party not have any meaning of praise, but is still complaining about himself, what does this mean? Could it be that he was wrong to help the Takayama family capture Ueno? And the most important thing is that they can't figure out why Takayama is dissatisfied with this, to put it mildly, this Ueno country is still very important to the Takayama family. Especially after the Hojo family's wealthy clan was swept away, once the Takayama family stationed troops here, then it was equivalent to dispersing the Hojo army again, the Takayama army was not a wealthy family, if Hojo wanted to guard, then it was necessary to send elite Chen soldiers to the border, plus guard against Kai and Suruga. And Satake Tonachi, so to come. Hojo Goshibei was pinned down in different places, and this was only one aspect, on the other hand, once the Takayama Army began to attack Hojo, then all the way out of Kai, all the way out of Ueno. In addition to the three of the Shoken Sakuma-sama out of Suruga to attack Sagami, Echigo Uesugi to attack Shimono, Satake launched an attack on the head of the group, several large armies out, will inevitably make the Hojo family busy. Helping him win Ueno by himself is definitely only good. So
The three of them were a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the clan, after all, it was completely opposite to their thoughts, but although they had such thoughts, they had to bow their heads under the low eaves, at least on the surface they did not show any dissatisfaction.
I only heard Nobusada Kohata speak: "High...... Lord Takayama, this time the inferior people won the upper field for the Takayama family, and the subordinates did not ask for praise from the adults, but the inferior people were really a little unclear, why was Takayama-sama dissatisfied with this? "Nobusada Kohata is a real person, Saito Kenhiro, Yura Chengshi, these two old fritters can not be mentioned, but he has a straightforward personality and can't help it at all, the reason why the three of them did this this time is not that they hope that Takayama-sama can look down on themselves and others, otherwise, wouldn't they be full and have nothing to do? But since you did it, then you have to make it clear, even if Lord Gao Shan is dissatisfied, you have to know why the other party is dissatisfied, otherwise wouldn't you be too wronged?
"Humph! That's a good thing to say, only the three of you won Ueno? It's not that in the name of my Takayama family, I have accepted the submission of the vassal Hojo family's wealthy clan, and I now ask you, wait, what is the use of my Takayama family's want these wealthy clans? Seeing that the other party dared to fight back, the clan couldn't help but be a little angry, especially when he thought that these three people had calculated their own family in order to get more credit, which made him even more angry, if it weren't for the prestige of his family, he didn't believe that only these three families could make those wealthy families betray Hojo, it can be said that at this time, the clan had completely determined that the other party's capture of Ueno was based on the basis of forcing those wealthy families to submit with the help of their own family. As for using the strength of his three families to wipe out those wealthy clans, he never thought about such a thing.
And after the three of them heard this, they finally understood the reason why Takayama-sama was angry with him, and after knowing it, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts also dissipated, it turned out that Takayama-sama was unhappy about this matter, so there was nothing to say, since the three of them decided to take Ueno for the Takayama family, Saito Kenhiro had already guessed that Takayama-sama did not want other wealthy clans to exist in Ueno, so in this battle, they not only eliminated all the wealthy clans that could deceive people, Even if they didn't greet them, they still didn't reveal their identities, even if they attacked and destroyed them, in order not to cause trouble to the Gao Shan family, sure enough, now it seems that he and the others did the right thing, although they have lost a lot of troops under their command, but as long as they can achieve the purpose of surprising Gao Shan, then the three of them believe that it won't be long before the family can pull out a stronger army than now.
So when the Takayama clan finished speaking, he only heard Yura Chengfan hurriedly say: "Takayama-sama seems to have a misunderstanding about the inferior three, this time in the lower three families for the adults is all taken Ueno, and those wealthy families who have returned to the Hojo family have been wiped out, not that the adults said that they accepted their submission, so please also ask Takayama-sama to decide." ”
After hearing this, the clan was completely stunned this time, but it wasn't just stunned for a moment just now, there is no reason, not to mention the strength of his three families, even if he sent 10,000 troops to go, if he wanted to win the land of 300,000 stone in Ueno within a month, it was not so easy to do, after all, those wealthy families were weak, but if they wanted to block it for a day or two, they could still do it, so that in addition to the distance, then it was impossible at all, even if they used a strategy, it was impossible for everyone to use a strategy to capture it, how could there be a strong attack, Once attacked, this will delay time, something that I am not sure of, how did these three do it?
Seeing that Lord Takayama was stunned again, the three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, they seized Ueno this time, just to give Lord Takayama a surprise, and now from the other party's expression, it is obvious that they have done it, and what awaits them next is undoubtedly a rich reward. Since the three of them all hoped that Lord Takayama would be stunned for a while, they didn't mean to speak at all, after all, the longer the other party was stunned, the more they thought, and the greater the benefits they would get, with such thoughts, the three of them just quietly waited for the clan to come to their senses.
But the three of them just thought of a point, they won Ueno 300,000 stone Zhixing did bring a great shock to the clan, can make such a contribution, the clan will definitely not hesitate to reward, but, the more important reason for the clan to stay stunned is that Ueno is to take it, the question is how to face the Hojo army, if only let these three wealthy families attack Gunma County, then it will definitely not get the attention of the Hojo clan, even if you want to recapture it, you will not send too many troops, in this case, then it is just a local war, With the current strength of the family, it is still possible to fight such a war, after all, the real elite of the family, now has not completed the expansion of the army, can only rely on the spear ashigaru to fight, but these three coalition forces actually captured all of Ueno, then the Hojo clan will inevitably send a large army to attack Ueno, especially after it has the idea of weakening the wealthy clan, now that the Hojo vassals of Uenohara have not been destroyed, once he can recapture it, then the Hojo clan will be equal to more than 300,000 direct territories, such a temptation is enough for him to send a large army, In this way, it will escalate from a local war to a full-scale war, which is the last thing the clan wants to see at present. (To be continued.) )
