Chapter 65: The Dabao Temple Family Perishes

The Uesugi family, who had just recovered from the Gokan Rebellion, did not forget to expand their power. The Oda family in the west has completely surpassed the current Uesugi family's ability range, and the Takeda family in the south has concluded an alliance oath (the most important thing is that the two families are equal in strength, and if they attack each other, they are still evenly divided, and the only one who can benefit in the end is the Oda family), the north faces the sea, and the east is the Dewa country, where there are many large and small forces, and the Uesugi family can bully.

So Uesugi Keikatsu consulted with Naoe Kanesuke, Kanya Keichi, Saito Asanobu, Se Nagashi, Yasuda Nomoto, Nakajo Keiko and others, Uesugi Keikatsu shouted and decided that it was you, Pikachu, no, it was the Dahoji family, so the Uesugi family began intense preparations.

The Uesugi family's army gathered 10,000 troops from both the south and west directions of Kushiyin County to attack the territory that had previously belonged to the Daihoji family.

As an ally of the original Shinbata family under the Uesugi family, the Dahoji family has participated in the rebellion of the Shinbata family against the main family before, so there is actually a big grudge with the Uesugi family. With this alone, it is understandable for the Uesugi family to attack the Dahoji family this time, at least because of the last resistance in their hands, it is completely okay to be a righteous person.

The largest mobilization number before the Dahoji family was about 1,500 or 600 people, and when the Shinbata family rebelled, in order to support the Shinbata family, 800 soldiers were put into the rescue, but because the Uesugi family acted quickly, they soon besieged Shinbata Castle, so the people sent out by the Dahoji family were all stuffed in Shinbata Castle, which can be regarded as not dying and not dying.

This time the Uesugi family's attack was carried out in secret, led by Uesugi Keikatsu himself, a team of 10,000 people, divided into an army of 7,000 people and a partial division of 3,000 people, without warning, from the path discovered by the Uesugi family, secretly broke into the Kushiki County, and then the Uesugi family's army rampaged in the Uesugi family, without hindrance at all.

The Dahoji family set up five important outposts in Kushiki County, and the main force of the Uesugi family's western route bypassed one of them, so they were able to smoothly sweep the territory of the Dahoji family. Under the leadership of Yangbei Zhongbi Zhongtiao Jingzi, the south road also successfully broke through the southern part of the Dabao Temple family's territory.

After that, the Daihoji family castle Maruka Castle was completely surrounded by the Uesugi family, and the head of the Dahoji family, Daihoji Yoshixing, faced the attack of the Uesugi family, which can be said to be powerless, because the Uesugi family attacked very suddenly, until the siege of the city, the Dahoji family was not able to complete the assembly.

Most of the territory was quickly swept away by the Uesugi family, and a large number of people were transported back to Echigo by the Uesugi family with a few people, and most of the people under the command of the Dahoji family were unwilling to be enemies with the Uesugi family, and they had already been well connected to the Uesugi family, otherwise how could the Uesugi family find a way to enter the Dahoji family directly without being discovered!

When the Dahoji family was finally besieged, there were only more than 100 defenders in Marugang Castle, and this was still the number of many civilians pulled in by Dahoji Yoshiko, and only such a guard force could be imagined in the face of the Uesugi family's army.

In the end, Daihoji Yoshiko and his own clan committed suicide in the Imperial Palace, and the Dahoji family, which had been passed down for 18 generations, perished, and the Uesugi family got the Dewa Province as they wished.

Daihoji Yoshikatsu, the adopted son of Daihoji Yoshiko, was the second son of the Uesugi family, and before the battle began, he had already found a reason to flee back to the Uesugi family.

It only took more than ten days for the Uesugi family to capture the entire Kushiki County, and it took ten days to capture one county, which was very fast for the Warring States at that time, and you must know that the Uesugi family was a regular attack.

For the actions of the Uesugi family, the surrounding daimyo are still somewhat uneasy, such as the Ashina family, such as the Mogami family, and other wealthy families and people in the Dewa country, they don't know what the Uesugi family wants to do, but at least they know that their strength is definitely not the opponent of the Uesugi family. As long as the Uesugi family doesn't take the initiative to fight them, they are already Amitabha, so it's better to wait and see what happens.

There is not a lot of land in a county, it is a land of tens of thousands of stones, even in the eyes of Kuroda Vocational High School, it will definitely not be too little. At least for the current Uesugi family, the newly acquired Kushiki County is very useful, and many internal conflicts can be resolved relatively well.

There were great internal contradictions in the Uesugi family before, to put it bluntly, the land with the Uesugi family was very limited, and there was still a lot to do with it, there were so many wealthy families and Chinese people, and the land was indeed very limited, plus the fertility of the land, the upstream and downstream problems of the water source, and there were many related contradictions in the Uesugi family.

After the Gokan Rebellion, a lot of land was already vacated, and many rebels were cleared. And now that it has newly acquired the county of Kushino, as I said earlier, many contradictions can be resolved.

Further north, Date had only become the head of the Date family for twenty years, and with his father as the successor, the young twenty years slowly gained the respect of everyone in the family and secured the position of head of the family. And in another year or two, Date Masamune will be on his own path to the world.

Just when the news that the Kuroda family ruled the world reached Wakasa Kuni's Akechi Mitsuhide, a person he didn't expect came to Hakuhara Castle, which gave Akechi Mitsuhide a great change in his heart, or induced his original idea.

Hakuja Castle is a castle built by the Takeda family of Wakasa Province originally, located in the middle of Wakasa Province in the eastern, originally a small city with a small area, after Akechi Mitsuhide entered the eastern part of Wakasa Province, in order to confront the Kuroda family, he chose this place as his residence, and most of the 6,000 people under his command were distributed around this area.

Under the management of Akechi Mitsuhide for several years, Hakuhara Castle has become a city with Honmaru and Ninomaru, and the entire city has more than tripled in size, and various castle defense facilities have been set up around the city, making it seem to have become an impregnable city.

In the large wide room of the box prison city, a smiling old man sat in the middle of the main hall, and when Akechi Mitsuhide walked to the top of the main hall, the old man smiled and said, "Lord Hinatamoru, look up for a long time, we have finally met." ”
