Chapter 560: He Yue Night Attack
In the fifteenth year of Astronomy (1546), July, summer.
A sudden weather change last year caused great damage to all powerful territories.
The territory of the Luo family. Even though the area before and after the construction of water conservancy had vigorously promoted the construction of water conservancy measures, it still suffered huge losses due to the continuous blows of typhoons, rainstorms and even hail. What's more serious is that last year's winter was much colder and longer than before.
The most fatal thing is that this weather change happened to be in summer. You should know that at this time, it was the critical moment for grains such as rice to form ears. As a result, a change seriously affected the growth of these grains. As a result, the Luo family's territory of 600,000 stones was finally only earned more than 300,000 stones. If the Luo family had not had a certain grain reserve before, it would have probably not even been able to hold on to this year's autumn harvest.
The Luo family, which had been deliberately guarding, was so miserable, let alone other unprepared powerful men?
Let’s not talk about the powerful people in other regions, just take the Zhuqian and Feihou areas as examples. Although I don’t know what the actual losses of the wealthy families in the central region of Feihou, just from the news that the Luo family came to the Luo family’s territory to settle down this year and had the food rationing for spring farming, a large number of local entourage residents who were trusted to take their families were pouring into these two areas. Their lives were definitely much more miserable than the Luo family.
These gangs are different from those who voluntarily defected to the Luo family in the past. They all have property in their original settlements. As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave their hometown. If they were not at the dilemma of desperateness, they would not choose to leave the place where they have lived for a long time. Then they come to join the Luo family.
As for the further regions, from the information received, they also suffered a great loss. For example, in the Yama Castle, Kibuyashe, in the Kyoto area, the gate of the Anma Ma was washed away by the flood. If you can directly wash away a fort, you can imagine how big the flood was at that time.
Returning to his territory again, since the beginning of spring this year, a large number of immigrants have surprised Zhengliang. He hurriedly ordered everyone to arrange the settlement problems of these immigrants. Since experiencing bad weather last year, the Luo family has actually entered a large-scale repair campaign. It mainly repairs water conservancy facilities damaged in bad weather, and at the same time vigorously promotes the water truck tool. Through this bad weather, it is confirmed that the water truck has a lot of role in drainage. It can shoot too much water during floods. In droughts, water channels can be used for irrigation.
Due to huge losses, all the powerful men were busy repairing the losses within their homes. Therefore, the surrounding areas of the Luo family had entered a long period of peace.
As for the powder keg area in the Himeguro Shangyicheng, the weather changed, and the war was calmed down due to this change of weather. However, the issue of the ownership of the Miyahara silver mine was still unsuccessful. The Omiya family, the Nakawa family, the Kikuchi family, the Hoshi family, and even the Allison of the King of Allison stationed troops near the Miyahara silver mine to prevent others from mining the silver mine in advance. It is reported that the Omiya family of Tomiya was also interested in this silver mine.
Yixiangzong, who gradually became a force that the Fiery Queen cannot ignore, also took advantage of this period to firmly control the Kenshida Castle that he stolen from the Omiya Shi family. Honanji Naoji was ready to construct his Fiery Queen's dream of "Shishan Castle". In addition to taking the opportunity to strengthen the protection of the Dao Shang Castle, the Omiya Shi family also directly sent troops to annex the Fiery Queen's Shipping Castle under the pretext of protecting the territory of the Kafei Family.
Ju Zhuang Qinchang, the important official of the Jiafei family, refused to surrender to the Omiya Si family. After the Omiya Si family's army rushed to Chuanyue City, they set fire to Chuanyue City, and committed suicide by cutting the stomach in the city. What is strange is that afterwards, everyone discovered that Jia Fei Zhizhi and Ju Zhuang Qinchang's family were missing.
In the Nanfeihou area, the Aoray family, who has always had a good relationship with the Danei family, received an invitation from the Danei Yoshitaka and was preparing to send a ship on a large scale. In history, the last time the Danei family's Kanhe trade with the Danei family was about to begin.
In the Satsuma region, as the retainer group gradually expanded, as educational servants, the Shimazu family compiled educational norms in the form of a romance to educate the retainers, and invited the former Kanba Kombushi's family to comment and explain.
At the same time, in Fenghou, he seemed to plan to increase his prestige that had declined due to repeated defeats by the Luo family through war. Otomo Yoshiki was sharpening his knife and preparing to invade Uhe County led by Kohiro Iyu Xiyuanji. The Luo family was too hard. This time Otomo Yoshiki decided to pick a soft persimmon to squeeze it. However, he did not expect that he would still encounter a hard stone. Historically, his expedition ended in failure this time.
In fact, the Otomo family was already dissatisfied with the Otomo family's frequent use of troops. Not only the retainers, but even the soldiers below were already feeling war-weary. But Otomo Yoshiki was also in a difficult situation at this time. Seeing that the prestige he had accumulated before was defeated by Masayoro several times, he had to try his best to protect the trust of the retainers in him, otherwise the people's hearts would be dispersed.
Jump out of the Jiuzhou area and look a little further away.
The Sakaigang area, Hosokawa Harumo, Hosokawa clan, and Miyoshi Nagaki are still in a melee. The most miserable thing is the Kyoto area, where Tu Ikki actually broke out and demanded that the shogunate issue a Tokugawa decree.
What is a decree? At first, this was a decree issued by the shogunate for the purpose of relieving the Imperial family. The decree stipulated that the Imperial family members were not allowed to sell or pawn the territory to the Imperial family members. The Imperial family territory that the Imperial family members had obtained must be returned free of charge, and the shogunate no longer accepted litigation disputes related to the Imperial family’s loans. In order to consolidate their rule, the shogunate family issued decree many times. Generally speaking, they all focused on the invalidity of the Imperial family’s land transactions against merchants and the lifting of debts, and the targets gradually extended to the lower classes such as farmers. This riot obviously required the shogunate and the imperial court to cancel debts. This time, under the threat of a large-scale riot, the weak shogunate court was forced to finally issue the Decree decree according to the requirements.
Oda Nobunaga's area. In the Warring States Period, Oda Nobunaga finally went to the Forbidden City and embarked on the road of unifying Oda. As for Oda Nobunaga's father Oda Rookie, he had just defeated Matsuhira Hirotaki who was trying to retake Anxiang City, and followed the trend towards Okazaki Castle.
Of course, the most lively thing at this time is the Kanto region.
In August last year, Imakawa Yoshimoto, who was neighboring west, invaded the Hojo family territory from the lower Suruga Castle. Hojo Imakawa led his troops to fight. Both sides faced the Humbridge of Imai-gun in the Suruga Kingdom. The Imakawa army was mixed with Takeda's Rhino Banner. Kafari Takeda Shingen sent reinforcements to help his sister-in-law Yoshimoto. During this period, there was only one member of the Hojo family's alliance, namely Kokawa Koka Ashikaga Haruka. He married the sister of Kota as his wife.
In this battle, the Hojo family was defeated, and the land east of Fujigawa was also recovered by Imakawa Yoshimoto.
In September of the same year, Uesugi Constitutionalism joined forces with Uesugi Asahidharma and sent about 60,000 troops from various Kanto countries to attack Hojo Ichiyasu and surround Kawago Castle. Immediately afterwards, the ally Kokawa Kyuki Ashikaga Haruka also cut off relations with Hojo Ichiyasu and sent troops to assist the two Uesugi troops in attacking Kawago Castle.
Just as the Hojo family was surrounded by enemies, Takeda Shingen appeared. At this time, the Takeda army in Suwa place and the powerful Muraguchi Yoshiki of Kitashino were in a tough battle. In order to transfer the soldiers under the battle against the Hojo family, Takeda Shingen mediated the Hojo family and the Imakawa family. The Hojo family was in harmony with the Takeda family, while the Imakawa family obtained the Suruga leadership east of Fujikawa below the Suruga. After getting the benefits, the Imakawa family retreated.
Therefore, the threat from the West was removed. Kagoe Castle in the north was still surrounded by the Uesugi clans, trying to wait for Kagoe Castle to cut off the military and food. With Takeda Shingen mediated, the harmonious relationship between the Uesugi clans was established, thinking that Kagoe Kana would die and victory was in sight. In the cage of half a year, Hojoka in the castle had already shown fatigue.
Late at night on April 20, 15th year of the Fifteenth year of the First Fifteenth, things changed suddenly. Shikayasu led 8,000 soldiers to attack Uesugi Fang's original formation at night. At the same time, the three thousand Hojo troops in the castle, who pretended to be tired, were out of the city under the leadership of Tsunari Hojo. The two unprepared Uesugi army were defeated under the combined attack of more than 10,000 Hojo troops outside the castle, and were defeated in a total of more than 10,000 Hojo troops.
Uesugi Asada was killed on the spot. Uesugi Congzhizhi defected to Echigo's Nagato Keito through Ueno Hirai Castle. Kokawa Kyukika Haruka worked hard to escape back to his home. Oda Shishi fled to the Musato Matsuyama Castle. The important ministers of Uesugi clan of Yamauchi, Oishi Takiku of Oishama Castle and Fujita Kanya of Tenshen Mountain Castle, and lived in the capital. The entire Musato country entered the territory of the Hojo clan.
