Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 147 The Jiangma Family's Strategy

Hida Country, Highland Suwa Castle.

The mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the four wilds are covered with white snow, making the Suwa Castle on the plateau standing among the mountains feel a bit lonely.

Located on the Hida Highland with an average elevation of more than meters, the Suwa Castle on the plateau has a history of nearly a hundred years as the home of the Jiangma family of the northern Hida family.

The plateau Suwa is now deserted, and it doesn't look like it's just after the New Year.

In the castle tower of Suwa Castle on the plateau.

Although the charcoal fire is burning in the brazier, it can't drive away the cold and dampness of the mountains, but as the locals who have lived here for generations, they have already adapted to such an environment.

"Lord, if this is the case, we will retreat first."

As the four major vassals of the Jiangma clan, the Kawasami clan, the Kawahime clan, the Shindai clan, the Yoshimura clan, and others have withdrawn from the castle tower.

The head of the Jiangma clan, Jiangma Shisheng, was staring at the charcoal fire in the brazier, and was in a daze. Apart from him, the only thing left in the evaluation room was his third son, Jiangma Huisheng.

"My Father."

Jiang Ma Shisheng suddenly recovered, facing another corner of the room, and asked: "Are you asking me?"

Jiang Ma Fraser took a look at Jiang Ma Shisheng, and thought: Father, my lord, he is really old. Under this great change, he has become numb and sluggish, and he can't come up with any ideas.

Jiang Ma Shisheng is more than sixty years old and his head is white. According to the general practice, the family supervisor will abdicate or live in seclusion at this age, but he is still in charge of Jiang Ma's family affairs.

Jiangma Fraser lowered his head and said, "Yes, my father."

Realizing that he was absent, Jiang Ma Shisheng sighed, raised his hands, let the two-sleeved sleeves of the wide straight shirt hang down naturally, and then lowered his hem to the knees.

At the same time, Jiang Ma Shisheng took out a folding fan, opened it with a puff, and restored the style of the head of the family, and asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ma Fraser secretly sneered at his father's such pretending performance, but he replied respectfully, "It's for the four adults just now. It is said that the sister Lu Ryorai and Echigo Uesugi have formed an alliance."

Mentioning the name of her sister Lu Lianglai, Jiang Ma Shisheng showed a hostile spirit on his face, and he cursed with hatred: "Miki Lianglai, this hún accounted for something."

Miki Ryorai is the sister road Ryorai.

During the Warring States Period, Tosa’s Ichijo family, Hida’s sister family, and Ise’s Kitada family were collectively called the Mikuni family. They were the only three powers that were transformed from the Kochi to the Sengoku daimyo during the Warring States Period.

From the nouns, it can be known that Kokusi is the head of a country, but this is a public position, not awarded by the shogunate of the military family. The shogunate bestowed the lord of a country with guardians and guardians. For example, Takeda Shingen was entrusted by the shogunate Kai and Shinano.

The Sister Lu family was the Hida Division and ruled a country. It was canonized by the Southern Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After the end of the Southern Dynasties, the sister-ro family officially surrendered to the shogunate under the conquest of the Omi, Hida, and Oki guardians of the Kyogoku family appointed by the Muromachi shogunate.

Later, the sister roads were split into three families, the island sister road family, the Yingli sister road family, and the Furukawa sister road family.

At this time, Miki's family was only appointed to Hida country as the Kyōkyoku family, monitoring the vassals of the sister-lu family. Later, the Miki family occupied the entire area of ​​Masuda County in Nanhida after several generations of Patriarch's efforts.

In the hands of the current owner of the Miki family, Miki Yoshiro, the Miki family was out of control, connecting with another powerful force of Hida, the inner island family, and successively attacking the two families of the island's sister-ro family and the Eagle's sister-routing family.

Later, in the first year of Miki Ryo Lai Yonglu, he worshipped the leader Hida Shou. In the second year, he made his eldest son inherit the name of the sister road family and changed her name to the sister road Raizuna.

At the same time, Miki Yoshiro also changed its name to Zilu Yoshiro. So far, the Miki family officially changed their family name and inherited the family name of the original Hida Country Sister-ro, which was destroyed by him.

Sister Lu Lianglai is good at outside power. At the beginning of his ascension, Jiangma Shisheng joined forces, Hose clan, Zhaolian Temple Yixiangzong, and three sister Lu families, mostly from the Hida country, to besiege Sister Lu Lianggang.

However, her sister Luliang relied on the method of collaborating and collaborating, causing several internal fights. In the end, she was safe and sound, and instead destroyed several wealthy families.

So Lu Ryorai was once called together with Saito Dosan, who leads Mino.

Therefore, in the original confrontation of the hegemony of the Hida country, the Jiangma family is inferior to the sister Lu Lianglai and his son.

Now the sister Lu Liangrai has shown his ambition to dominate the Hida country, and after winning the inner island family, another major power in the Hida country, he ordered his son Lu Liangzhang to marry Saito Dozo’s daughter as his wife. Stabilized the situation behind Mino.

Right now, my sister Lu Liangrai inherited the position of Hida Kukokuji. He has the righteousness to disobey the Hida domestic forces and conduct crusades. The Jiangma family, which was originally the enemy, is even more unfavorable.

And just now, just after the New Year, the Jiangma family’s spy on the sister road's house, it was reported that the sister road Ryorai had actually got on the line with the Uesugi family of Echigo.

Seeing his father's hatred towards his sister Lu Lianglai, Jiang Ma Fraser understands that the hatred in his father's heart is more out of jealousy.

In the early days, the old Patriarch of the Sanmu family had a new funeral. During the period of the enemy's funeral, Jiang Ma Shi was liaising with various forces to send troops, but he was defeated by his sixteen-year-old sister Lu Lianglai in one fell swoop.

This convinced him how convinced he was. Later, Jiang Ma family and his sister Lu Jiafeng had been in a disadvantage for several times. Seeing the power of the sister Lu family continued to grow, but he had no other choice, and finally came to this end of the world.

Such an incompetent father also deserves to be in charge of Jiang Ma's family, Jiang Ma Fraser thought so in his heart.

But he still said solemnly on his face: "Sister Lu Ryorai is standing behind him, Mino Saito's family, Echigo Uesugi's two major powers, this is definitely not our current Jiangma family can compete, so I think, Right now there are only two ways to go in front of our Jiangma family."

"Which two roads?" Jiang Ma Shisheng asked.

"The first is as the Lord Caiheshang said, my Jiangma family surrenders to my sister Lu family."

"It's impossible." Jiang Ma Shisheng roared, asking him to surrender the enemies who had attacked each other for decades, and this sister Lu Lianglai was still the person who had been under him in the first place. How could he be willing to do so.

Jiang Ma Shisheng said loudly: "My Jiangma family is a descendant of the dignified Hengwu Ping family, and the Sanmu family was originally just a local place, and shamelessly pretended to be the name of the family of the sister road of the country, so people who betrayed justice, I Jiang Ma Shisheng would rather surrender the Neidao family than the Miki family."

The Hida Kingdom, the third largest power in the inner island family, is actually a descendant of the army **** Nanmu Zhengcheng from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

This kind of family is a match with the Kiso Yoshiyasu and his sons in Shinano Kiso Valley.

The four ministers of the Jiangma family came to visit. In addition to discussing the alliance between the sister Lu family and the Echigo Uesugi family, the Patriarchs of the Kawasami family and the Goddai family all wanted to surrender the sister Lu family.

However, the attitude of the Heren family and the Jicun family is unclear.

The four principals of the Jiang Ma family were originally independent and very high, so their opinions, even if they contradict Jiang Ma Shisheng's meaning, but Jiang Ma Shisheng did not dare to do anything with them for the time being.

Moreover, the Patriarch of the Heshang family has always been the chief minister of the Jiangma family, and his opinions are also quite influential.

Therefore, Jiang Ma Shisheng just persuaded and comforted him, and then declared that he would come up with a better way in a few days.

In fact, Jiang Ma Shisheng didn't know that the Shendai family of these four ministers was instigated by Jiang Ma Huisheng to put pressure on his father.

His father's reaction was completely expected by Jiang Ma Fraser, Jiang Ma Fraser sneered secretly, and then calmly said: "Since my father is unwilling to surrender to Sister Lu's family, then we have to take the second way."

"Which way?"

Jiangma Fraser said: "Is it just to imitate the sister road family and find a backer for this family?"

Jiang Ma Shisheng's eyes flashed, Huo Ran stood up, pointed at Jiangma Fraser's head with a folding fan, and said, "You want my Jiangma family to seek support from the Takeda family?"

Among the forces that can influence the Hida country, the Mino Saito family to the south, Etchu to the north, and Uesugi family to Echigo, are only the Takeda family back to the east.

So Jiang Ma Shisheng reacted right away

Jiangma Fraser nodded and said: "My father, that's right, and there is only this way to go. Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi are fighting for Kanto. There can only be one winner. For Shingen Takeda, Fei Sa country is the link between Shinano and Vietnam.

"In Etchu, Takeda Shingen can seek the support of Yixiangzong. As long as the Takeda family’s military front arrives, it is like the only famous family in Yuezhong, the Jinbao family, that will be defeated if they fall. Takeda Shingen can establish in Yuezhong through Hida. Attacking the frontier of Echigo. In this way, the importance of Hida country to Shingen Takeda is self-evident."

"It is foreseeable that Shingen Takeda will send troops to Hida sooner or later, either this year or next year. Instead of waiting for the Takeda family to attack, we should take the initiative to contact the Takeda family and win the initiative. At the same time, we can also rely on the Takeda family’s power. Come against the sister Lu's family."

Jiang Ma Fraser's long talk, he had prepared for a long time and thought about it several times, which made Jiang Ma Shisheng plunged into contemplation.

Jiang Ma Shisheng paced back and forth in the room, so you can also see his inner anxiety and uncertainty.

"You let me think about it again." Jiang Ma Shisheng said weakly.

"Father, what are you still hesitating at this moment? On the river, Lord Goddai is waiting for our news. If you miss the opportunity, the sister Lu’s family will attack the door. The attitude of the two adults is ambiguous. It’s not good, I ask my father to make a decision."

"What do you know?" Facing Jiang Ma Fraser's step by step, Jiang Ma Shisheng finally took out the majesty of the owner and father, and yelled at him.

"You thought the Takeda family would be so kind and help us free of charge. Uesugi Terutora, who has always placed emphasis on justice, would not do such stupid things. Not to mention Takeda Shingen, he is a man-eating man who does not spit out bones. Tiger. Planning with the Takeda family, my Jiangma family’s family business is probably gone."

Halfway through, Jiangma Shisheng added this sentence: "At this point, Taro, thinking about worries, is much more stable than you."

When Jiangma Fraser heard his father mention the word Taro, UU reading www.uukanshu.com slightly twitched his face, then lowered his head and said: "I understand, it turns out that my father was worried about his family business and was embezzled by the Takeda family. It was me. Too lack of consideration."

When Jiang Ma Shisheng saw his son confess his mistake, his expression eased, and he said, "We also need to contact the Takeda family, but on the Uesugi family, we have to send someone to understand. You are right. We must find someone. Support. Takeda and Uesugi choose one. Uesugi Teruhu is a man of justice. If I don't do too much action, I think he should be kind to my Jiangma family."

After a pause, Jiangma Shisheng smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Who knows, just look at the meaning of the Uesugi family of the Takeda family. Whoever offers good terms, we will join the Jiangma family. In this world Among them, it’s not that a country like Uesugi Takeda can make the final decision. Our wealthy clan also has our way of living!"

"My father, wise," Jiangma Fraser obeyed, and then said, "If this is the case, please ask my father to be responsible for contacting the Takeda family."

"Yes, but under what name are you going?"

Jiangma Fraser replied without hesitation: "I heard that Li Xiao, the general of the Takeda family in charge of the Anzu county, is about to get married in one month, so I will go there in the name of congratulations and try the attitude of the Takeda family."
