Chapter 64 Reactions of the Parties

The news that the Kuroda family integrated the entire Kyushu soon spread under the intention of the Kuroda family, and spread throughout the entire sixty-six countries, and it can be said that the final result was that all parties had ghosts, and at the same time, to a certain extent, accelerated the pace of unification of the entire world.

First of all, let's talk about the group of people who are most happy about the Kuroda family's unification of Kyushu, that is, the emperor of Kyoto, and the big and small ministers in the imperial court. They are under the rule of the Oda family, although they have overcome the dilemma of not being able to eat before, but they are still frightened under the high-pressure rule of the Oda family all day long.

In their hearts, because of the various deliberate friendships and respectful attitudes of the Kuroda family before, as well as the support of Konoe Maehisa, Imadegawa Haruki, Konoji Harumi, Ijo Neiki, and the Saionji family, who have a good relationship, if the Kuroda family goes to Luo and replaces the Oda family, their lives will definitely be better.

At least you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing that day, and being rushed into the courtyard by the soldiers of the Oda family, and directly dragged out to behead in the street, such a thing has happened once in Kyoto.

Although it is only the lowest-level small princess family, it is also a minister, it is not a court official, and he was killed by the Oda family, and Oda Nobunaga can be said to have completely ignored the emperor. It was precisely because of this incident that there was even a message from Oda Nobunaga that he wanted to depose the emperor and become the emperor himself, and in the end, the emperor could only summon Oda Nobunaga in person and convey goodwill to him, so that he could end the matter and keep his throne.

The Kuroda family quickened their pace, and the Oda family, as the biggest rival, did not do nothing, first bypassing the Tokugawa family, which had only one country in Mikawa Province, and controlled the entire Suruga and Toe regions of Tokaido in their own hands. This kind of eating image also caused extreme dissatisfaction among Tokugawa Ieyasu and everyone under his command, but the advantage of the turtle is that he is good at hiding his thoughts, so he decided that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for twenty years, and if it is still not possible for twenty years, he will wait for another twenty years.

After that, the Takayama clan clan army belonging to the Oda family, through the siege of the city, defeated the sister Koji Yoritsuna, eliminated the wealthy family that usurped the Flying Country Priest family, and took the entire Flying Country, and was recognized by Oda Nobunaga, and became the sixth lord-level important minister of the Oda family in addition to Shibata Katsuie in Hokuriku Province, Niwa Nagahide in Omi Province, Nobuta Nobuta in Nobutada, Ise Kitada Nobuo, and Minami Matsunagahide, and surpassed Akechi Mitsuhide who was only half a country in one fell swoop, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who fought hard at Honganji Temple in Settsu (Sakuma Nobumori had already been chased by Oda Nobunaga at this time because of the disadvantage of attacking Honganji, and along with the Oda family's original pen head old Hayashi Hidesada).

In the north, under the hard work of the Shibata Katsuya Hokuriku Army, they took Etsuchugoku, Kaga Province, and Noto Province, which put pressure on Echigo Province. Later, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, and Hiromasa Ryoda of the Shibata Katsuya Legion also became retainers of the Oda family.

In addition, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was stimulated by these people, also used his own means, together with Hosokawa Fujitaka, to suppress some of the disobedient or hypocritical wealthy clans and countrymen, thus integrating the entire eastern part of Wakasa Province and forming a confrontation with the western part of Wakasa Province controlled by the Kuroda family.

After continuous management, the Oda family is also constantly accumulating its own strength. It's just that you all know that the Oda family's legion system is actually different from the Kuroda family, at least in terms of the control of the main family, which leaves a great hidden danger for the subsequent events.

The Takeda family has not done nothing over the years, and under the leadership of the new governor Takeda Katsuyori, they have continued to consolidate their original territory in Kai Province, and at the same time, through the Kiso family, the Sanada family and other families have continuously strengthened their rule over Shinano, and some of the territories that the Takeda family later obtained in Ueno Province have also been strengthened in recent years.

For those wealthy clans and countrymen in various regions, if they are unwilling to continue to survive under the leadership of the Takeda family, the Takeda family will send them to see Amaterasu without mercy, and then change to some wealthy clans and countrymen who listen to the Takeda family and have the ability to rule the local area.

If you just look at it in terms of strength, the current Takeda family is even bigger and stronger than when Takeda Shingen was still alive, and its strength is even stronger, but it is not easy to say what level of real combat effectiveness it can reach, and it can only be tested after a battle.

Previously, as in history, Takigawa Kazuyoshi and others of the Oda family joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu to attack Kai's Takeda clan territory from Suruga Province, but were defeated by the Takeda family's 15,000 army.

The Takeda family, under the leadership of Katsuyori Takeda, who was much more mature than in history, relied on the complex mountains of Kai Province to launch a surprise attack on the Oda family, won the final victory, and kept their territory, which of course was inseparable from the fact that the Oda family did not dispatch the main force and their own light enemies.

And in the whole process of the battle, the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a very high performance talent, pulled out a group of old and weak soldiers, and clearly told Takigawa Ichiyi that after several battles, the Oda family did not give me MT, I have achieved this now, you can do it yourself! The Tokugawa family didn't cooperate with the actions of the Oda family anyway, and in the end, Takigawa Kazuki could only give up the decision to let Tokugawa Ieyasu be cannon fodder and let them play soy sauce.

In the Uesugi family to the north, they are also busy with their own affairs, and the Uesugi family has been cleaning up the entire Echigo Province after the Imperial Palace Rebellion, and at the same time strengthening the management of the people of each country.

After the Uesugi family's rebellion at the Imperial Palace, under the leadership of Uesugi Keikatsu, the Uesugi family carried out another collective retainer and local lord allegiance campaign, and all the big and small people under the Uesugi family expressed their willingness to follow the leadership of Uesugi Keikatsu.

Echigo Province is a large country, and it has a strong economy because of its fertile land, abundant products, and waterway transportation, and frequent commercial activities.

At the time of Uesugi Kenshin's existence, the Uesugi family already had a certain amount of hegemon-level strength, and now under the single-minded management of Uesugi Keikatsu and many samurai, the strength of Echigo Province is even stronger.

The Uesugi family, who had just recovered from the Gokan Rebellion, did not forget to expand their power.
