Chapter 243: Heaven and Earth (5)
Nagano Yoshimasa crossed the Usui Pass and set foot on the land of Saku-gun in Shinano Province, whether he returned with the same feather as Uesugi Kensei, the Kanto governor in the 16th year of Astronomy, or whether he took advantage of the situation to seize the land of Shinano and become the last straw that crushed the Takeda family, all in his hands. The news brought by Hidetsuna Kamiizumi www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion was like a basin of cold water, pouring it on the heads of the enthusiastic Shangzhou people, extinguishing the arrogance in their hearts, shattering their illusions that they would be lawless if they climbed the Nagao Jinghu, and united around Nagano Yemasa.
In fact, Nagano Yemasa has never been the co-leader of the Shangshu people, even the largest force of the Nagano clan in the West Shangshu, the reason why he was able to call on such a large number of soldiers and horses, firstly, is that the truth of the cold lips and teeth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and secondly, Nagano Yoshimasa's personal charm is enough to convince the public.
Whatever his purpose, Nagano had always been a loyal servant of Uesugi Kensei with the mission of reviving the Kanto region, and he spent the first half of his life in obscurity, moving around the eastern and western states until his later years to make a name for himself in a decisive way.
Now, Nagao Jinghu, who is more famous than Nagano and has a greater advantage in age, appeared in front of the eyes of the people of Shangzhou, announcing his arrival in a domineering way, which also gave the people of Shangzhou more choices.
In fact, from the outset, this choice was unfair to Nagano Yomasa. However, Nagao Keihu obviously saw farther than the Shangzhou people, and he ordered Nagano Yoshimasa to lead the Shangzhou people across the Usui Ice Pass, and the Shangzhou people suddenly had no choice.
The current situation is obvious, in the eyes of Nagao Jinghu, the value of all Shangzhou people is not as great as the value of Nagano Yesamasa alone. In the eyes of Nagao Jinghu, he has only one opponent in the eastern country, and that is Takeda Harunobu. As long as he defeats Takeda Harunobu, he will have no worries, and he will be able to deal with Hojo and his ilk calmly. Defeating Takeda Harunobu four times has become Nagano Yoshimasa's capital, and Nagao Keitora believes that even if Nagano Yoshimasa can't defeat Takeda Harunobu head-on, it is also a skill that he will not collapse all at once.
What's more, Nagao Keiho believes that with the old feud between Nagano Yesamasa and Takeda Harunobu, as long as Nagano Yesama crosses the Usui Ice Pass, he will not be half-hearted, and will definitely complete the task entrusted to him by Nagao Keiho wholeheartedly.
If he wins, Nagao Jinghu will be able to take advantage of the situation to completely defeat Takeda Harunobu and drive Takeda Harunobu back to Kai, so that he can deal with Hojo Yasuno and his ilk more calmly; If he loses, Nagano will lose his prestige, and he will no longer be able to organize the countrymen, so that Nagao Jinghu can annex Shangzhou more calmly.
In Nagao's eyes, Nagano is likely to turn into his enemy, and he is now changing his usual policy of goodwill and gobbling up Kamisu, which has obviously attracted the attention of the people of Kagamishu, the most obvious of which is Nagano Yemasa's dissatisfaction.
Nagao Keihu preemptively went to Minowa Castle to say the law in person, induced him to say it with affection, and finally said that Nagano Yemasa sent troops to counterattack Takeda Harunobu, and the biggest reason why he was able to say that Nagano Yemasa was age, yes, age.
Nagano Yemasa was indeed able to subdue his neighbors, and with his personal charm and resourcefulness, he became the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Shangzhou people, but he was already seventy years old, and he might not be able to sleep anytime and anywhere. As a result, Nagano is thinking about a successor.
Nagano Yoshimasa once had the experience of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, the wise and decisive eldest son who had been cultivated since childhood was killed in the battle of Kawagoe Night, and the second son of the old son, Nagano Yesheng, was only sixteen years old, and he was more than strong but not wise enough to bear the ability to turn between Takeda, Nagao, and Hojo without falling.
Will the sons-in-law who were able to subdue Nagano Ye when he was alive obey the orders of a little doll, and in the Wa Kingdom, sons-in-law can also inherit the family business, and in order to compete for the inheritance left by Nagano Ye, these sons-in-law will obviously not let it go.
Especially under the pressure of Takeda and Hojo's external forces, who knows if these sons-in-law will directly defect to Takeda Harunobu like the eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law, and hand over the Minowa Castle he has been fighting for. In fact, after Nagano's death, his sons-in-law soon fell apart, leading to the fall of Minowa Castle under the siege of Takeda Harunobu. Nagano Yesheng, who knew that he was invincible, left a sentence of death when the city was broken: "The spring breeze is once, the sea cherry blossoms fall, what can I do; The present and the past perished, leaving a remnant name, Minowa forever accompanied, and then self-harmed, at the age of nineteen, the Kamishu Nagano clan perished.
It is precisely because of this that Nagano Yesamai saw what was behind him, so he dragged his old body as the precursor of Nagawei Jinghu, and the only requirement was that Nagano Yesei took refuge in Nagao Jinghu. Nagano Ye knew that in this way, the Nagano clan would no longer have a free body, and completely surrendered to the command of Nagao Jinghu, but it was much better than getting up and dying to destroy the clan.
Nagano Ye is leading the people of Shangshu across the Usui Ice Pass, and he is ready to realize that he will never return to Shangshu again. When Hidetsuna Kamiizumi brought the latest moves of Harunobu Takeda, the originally loose Kamisu people were shocked, and they once again rallied around Nagano Yoshimasa.
Nagao Keitora values Nagano Yoshimasa's ability to defeat Takeda Harunobu four times, and the people of Kamisu also see his demeanor, and in the territory of the enemy, when the whole situation seems to be unfavorable to the people of Kamisu, the only one who can rely on Nagano Yoshimasa to win undefeated and win.
Considering that the situation was becoming more and more complicated, and that if the command was wrong, the people of Kamisu might find themselves in a dilemma in Shinano Province, Nagano Yoshimasa put forward his request to further centralize military power, and the military and political power would be grasped by him, and for this reason, some adjustments should be made in the military establishment and command system.
Under the oppression of external forces, he immediately won the support of most of the people in Shangzhou, and although several powerful people were unwilling, they knew that their courage and resourcefulness were not enough to deal with Takeda Harunobu, so they had to obey Nagano Yemasa's orders, and everything was an expedient measure.
Nagano Yoshimasa focused on promoting the members of the "Hinofan One Heart" to important positions in each army, and gathered the most elite people from all over the army to form a 3,000-strong selection army, with Ueno Sixteen Spears among the Minowa people serving as the generals of each team, and Nagano Yoshimasa under the direct command of Nagano Yoshimasa.
There was no resistance to the formation of the Election Army. This is not that the people of Shangzhou are forced by the strength of Nagano Yemasa, and they are happy to be convinced, but they have to do so, although the strength of the front army is outstanding, but the task is also the heaviest, and they are all out of the battle and the first formation. In other words, the purpose of Nagano Yemasa's formation of the Election Front Army was to tell all the people of Shangshu that since they trusted him, he would not shirk his responsibilities and would not let him bear the brunt of the fight with Takeda Harunobu.
