Chapter 1061 Oily Kanto

Seeing Uesugi Terutora's indignation, Shiba Yoshigin said helplessly.

"It's useless to be anxious. I have guessed that these people will turn the rudder in response to the wind, but I really didn't expect them to move so fast.

But don't worry, these nationalities in Ueno can't make waves.Our army is led by Numata and Sano, with Ueno Kingdom in the north and east.

Who dares to swallow our benefits?
These samurai in Ueno just want to grab the upper hand so that they can bargain with us afterwards.It's up to you and me to decide whether or not the territory they seized can be occupied.

The real trouble is in the east, in the south, beyond our reach.The Satomi family, the Satake family, and the Utsunomiya family are all nonsense, how are you going to handle your relationship with them? "

Shiba Yoshiyin didn't care what the samurai of Ueno Musashi and the two countries did. The Echigo army sent troops to Kanto to sweep down these places in the south, and the local samurai had no choice but to kneel and lick.

The really complicated thing is how to deal with the Shimono, Hitachi, Xiazong, Shangzong, and Anfang Wugu samurai families in the east and south.

The main battlefield where the Hojo family competed with the Echigo army was the Ueno Musashi Sagami Three Kingdoms.How to clarify the relationship between the other five countries in the land of eight states?

Uesugi Terutora sometimes has the temperament of the rich second generation, and he is impulsive and ignores it, which is easy to offend people to death.There are some things to say first, to remind her.

These five countries are divided into the two countries of the East and the three countries of the Boso Peninsula, and the situation is different.

The samurai family of the Shimono and Hitachi countries are known as the Eastern People of the Kanto Plain.They are alienated from the core area, and they are more like the adoption station for the samurai regime to expand to the northeast of Ou.

At the beginning, when the Kamakura shogunate went north to open up the land of Ou, Ueno and Hitachi were the logistics bases.In fact, the eyes of the local samurai have always been inertial to the north, and they even coveted the Nanao Basins.

Although Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora now occupy the Sano Territory, it also belongs to the Shimono Kingdom.However, the Ashikaga leader and the Sano leader on the west side of the Ashio Mountains are actually closer to the samurai family of Ueno Kingdom.

The Sano collar is the gateway to the core area of ​​the Kanto Plain, how Uesugi Terotora's relationship with the Dongfang people is handled, and whether they can get their support will have a far-reaching impact.

As for the Three Kingdoms of the Boso Peninsula, the Satomi family of Anbo Country had long wanted to break out of the peninsula and invade the core area of ​​the Kanto Plain.

But her family is not strong enough to beat the Hojo family.Satomie was held under the leadership of the lower and upper headquarters, and there were repeated frictions between the two countries, and they withdrew to An Fanguo several times.

This time, with the help of the great victory of the Echigo army, Satomi, Satake, and Utsunomiya are all doing business for their own interests, cutting off the local samurai who joined the Hojo family, and taking the opportunity to expand their own territory.

Uesugi Terutora's grievance lies in this.

The Echigo army fought a bloody battle with the Hojo army. Although they won a big victory, the loss was not small.The Guandong martial arts family who were waiting and watching went down the mountain to pick peaches at this time, did they think her, the new Guandong leader, was a fool?

The slogan of attachment was loudly shouted, and Uesugi Terotora directly had an additional [-] troops under his command.But the one who didn't see it was all f---ing grabbing territory near his own territory.

Uesugi Terutora snorted and said.

"Their letter of alliance has arrived, it turned out to be a letter of alliance? These people are too much!"

What Uesugi Terotora wanted was a pledge of allegiance. She was the governor of the Kanto region, the number two figure in the Kanto system. It would be a humiliation for a group of local daimyos to form an alliance with her.

Yoshihiro Shiba frowned.

"What's their reason? Are these people really not afraid of your anger?"

Uesugi Terutora sneered.

"They are smart, and of course they won't let me get angry.

These people plausibly said that I have not yet completed the succession ceremony at Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine, and there are some shortcomings in the procedures, so it is not appropriate to present the affidavit at this time.

What's the matter, please forgive me?I forgive her father! "

Seeing Uesugi Terutora swearing, Shiba Yoshiyin gave her a blank look, but he also understood her anger in his heart.

These Kanto samurai are very slick, they never play head-on confrontation with you, they just use various rules and traditions to prevaricate.

As long as your knife is not on their necks, they dare to perfunctory you.But your knife is really against her heart, these people kneel faster than anyone else.

It is indeed a good plan for them to use the lack of programs to perfuse Uesugi Terutora.Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine is in Kamakura, and Kamakura is in Sagami Country, the headquarters of the Hojo family.

If Uesugi Terutora can really blow up the Hojo family, a succession ceremony will be held at Tsuruoka Hachimangu.These people definitely ran faster than anyone else, rushing over to show their loyalty immediately.

A bunch of scoundrels, no wonder Uesugi Terotora was so angry that he swears.

Shiba Yoshihiro said in a deep voice.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Uesugi Terutora looked at him and said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Victory is in sight, of course I will endure this tone.

The Hojo family is exhausted, I don't need the help of these people, as long as they can suppress the samurai who are close to the Hojo family from all over the place, it will be the greatest help to me.

What I really want to surrender is Ueno Musashi and the samurai of the two countries, and the Sagami country of the Hojo family.As for the other five countries, the future is long, let's wait and see. "

Yoshihiro Shiba looked at Terutor Uesugi in surprise. Over the past two years, she has become more and more mature, as proud as she has learned to endure.

Terutora Uesugi of course had to endure, even if she gritted her teeth, she had to endure the thought of whether she could marry Shiba Yoshiyin in relation to the Kanto Raiders.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to small details.Cao Yi Yinzhi should not be underestimated.

Shiba Yoshigin didn't know her dirty mind, otherwise he would have to spit.At this time, he applauded for it.

"His Highness Uesugi is as humble as a valley, which is admirable. There is a lot to do in the Kanto."

Uesugi Terutora smiled slightly and said.

"Actually, there are people who know a lot. Harusuke Kota, leader of Furukawa, sent an oath of allegiance."

"Ok?"

Shiba Yoshigin was quite surprised, Uesugi Terotora said with a smile.

"She is so knowledgeable, and it is also thanks to you, Mr. Qianxin."

"I?"

"good.

On the day of the battle, the Hojo Clan fled the battlefield in a hurry and returned to Musashi Kingdom by detour from Furukawa Castle.

In order to pass the test, she pretended to be a big winner, and used the imperial flag you lost on the battlefield to deceive Harusuke Kota into trusting her, and fled back to Kawagoe City.

Afterwards, Harusuke Kuda was panicked.She seems to have said a lot of compliments in front of the Hojo clan, and made some inappropriate jokes about your royal flag.

Now the truth is revealed, Furukawa Castle is in the southeast of Sano, not far from you.It is said that he was so frightened in Guhe City that he suddenly became seriously ill and was already bedridden. "

Terutora Uesugi told Harusuke Koda's joke, but Yoshihiro Shiba heard a hint of excuse from it.

He said.

"This Harusuke Kota is really outspoken, making people laugh and cry. But it's not a big mistake, His Highness Uesugi wants to intercede for her?"

Joking about Yuqi, this matter can be big or small, it's only in the mind of Shiba Yoshihiro.

There are some gossips in the local area, and sometimes they can't care about it.You can't just march in with a large army just for a word, who will pay for the money and food?
But Harusuke Kota was unlucky, the leader Furukawa was by his side, and Echigo's army could come from the leader of Sano to kill him at any time, and ask for help.

The Echigo samurai family came to the Kanto Plain to grab territory. If you owe it to the whole family to die, the territory is just left for us to share.

Harusuke Yoda presented the oath to Teru Tiger Uesugi at the first time, which was frightening.As for Uesugi Terutora, she really needs her.

Uesugi Terutora smiled embarrassedly and complimented.

"You are wise but Kenshin. I really want to protect this Harusuke Koda. Her letter not only mentions allegiance, but also apologizes to me for the succession ceremony of Ashikaga Yoshishi."

When Terutora Uesugi said this, Yoshihiro Shiba understood, and it turned out that Harusuke Kada wanted to pass the test.

Kanto has been in turmoil for more than a hundred years, and the Kamakura Ashikaga family has already moved their foundation from Kamakura to Furukawa City, using the Furukawa Territory as their base to influence the core area of ​​the Kanto Plain.

The former Kanto general defeated Kawagoe Castle, was captured by the Hojo family and sent to Sagami Country, where he died for unknown reasons, so the leader of Furukawa was represented by Harusuke Kota.

The Kamakura Ashikaga vassals of the Kamada family have served as performers for generations and are in charge of etiquette.The particularity of this position has also made the Tian family last for a long time.

Harusuke Kota talked about the ceremony, ostensibly because he felt ashamed and guilty for helping Ashikaga Yoshishi succeed to the throne.In fact, it is implying Uesugi Terutora, I am still useful, and I am willing to use it for you.

Yoshishi Ashikaga is the Kanto general who was raised by Yasushi Hojo. Her succession ceremony held at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura was presided over by Harusuke Kamakura, the performer of the Ashikaga family in Kamakura.

According to tradition, the Kanto leader recognized by the Kanto General will also hold a succession ceremony at Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace in Kamakura, and this is indispensable for the performer Kuta Harusuke.

The samurai society values ​​profit, and this group of mercenary Ji warriors also has their own uneasiness for their obsession with etiquette.

The samurai regime based on the rule of force is very unstable, and whoever has a hard fist is justified.But the more this is the case, the more the samurai pays more attention to etiquette, perhaps out of subconscious self-protection.

Whose family has not yet had a decline, and there is a layer of etiquette to protect the window paper, at least it will not be too bloody and ugly, and respect each other.

Uesugi Terutora's position as the Kanto supervisor comes from the adoptive mother of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, and the recognition of the Kyoto shogun is justifiable.

But Kanto has its own system, and Kanto and Kansai have despised each other since ancient times. If Terotora Uesugi does not go through this process, it will be difficult to really get the support of the Kanbashu samurai.

Just like this time, although the Five Kingdoms samurai recognized her as the leader of the Kanto, they still used her incomplete procedures as an excuse to form an alliance without allegiance, which made Uesugi Teruhu angry and helpless.

Therefore, Terotora Uesugi needs to complete the entire process, leaving the Kanto samurai with nothing to say.This requires the assistance of Harusuke Kota, and even Yoshishi Ashikaga.

Yoshihiro Shiba thought for a while and asked.

"You want to go to Kamakura to complete the ceremony?"

Uesugi Terutora shook his head.

"It's not the time yet, we have to sort out the Ueno Musashi two countries first, and then talk about the Sagami country.

But for Yoshishi Ashikaga and Harusuke Koda, you can make some arrangements first. "

Yoshihiro Shiba nodded understandingly.

Uesugi Terotora seems to want to recognize Ashikaga Yoshiji, the pseudo-Kanto general who led the Hojo army did little harm to the Echigo army, but contributed a lot.

Terotora Uesugi is willing to give her a way out, which is a win-win politically.

Yoshishi Ashikaga is the descendant of the previous Kanto general, and her succession ceremony was held at Tsuruoka Hachimangu in Kamakura. Her identity is not easy to overthrow.

Before the Echigo side denounced her as a pseudo-Kanto general, it was because she was in the hands of the Hojo family and appointed Hojo Shiyasu as the leader of the Kanto.

It is impossible for Uesugi Terutora to admit her, admitting that she is slapping himself in the face.What's more, she broke the rule that non-Uesugi's family can't be in charge of the Kanto, and she was criticized in the first place.

But today is different from the past. After capturing Ashikaga Yoshishi, admitting her as a Kanto general will do more good than harm to the Echigo side, and it can be considered.

If she is willing to find her way back, she is willing to stand for Terotora Uesugi.After that, Harusuke Kyoda will complete the whole set of succession ceremony at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, and Terotora Uesugi, the leader of Kanto, will really stand firm.

Shiba Yoshigin is of course willing to help Uesugi Terotora, but the matter may not be that simple, he said.

"Harusuke Yoda can repent and is willing to go back to the right path. I can give her a chance to forgive her for her previous arrogance and disrespect.

It's just Ashikaga Yoshishi, will she accept your kindness? "

It was a small problem for Harusuke Yoshida to stand in line. Yoshigin didn't care about it, and the matter passed, but Yoshishi Ashikaga was very troublesome.

Now she is so firm that she shuts her mouth, refuses any communication, and plays her role as the mighty and unyielding Kwantung General.

Ashikaga Yoshishi was supported by Hojo Ujiyasu with one hand. If she was defeated and captured and switched to Uesugi Terutora, she would be laughed at by the Kanto samurai.

The reputation of the Kamakura Ashikaga family has been discredited, and no one is willing to admit that she herself is not a stable Kwantung general.

After ensuring that the Echigo party did not have the idea of ​​destroying his own body, in order to continue his political life, Ashikaga Yoshishi began to take a tough attitude.

Uesugi Terotora was a little embarrassed by this pseudo-Kanto general curled up like a hedgehog, she said.

"If she still refuses to cooperate, should we kill her to sacrifice the flag and support a Kwantung general?"

Yoshihiro Shiba shook his head and said.

"After all, she is the daughter of the former Kwantung General, and the succession ceremony of the Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace was held. We killed her outside the battlefield, and there will always be some criticism.

These warriors in the Kanto region can roll up three layers of waves without wind.If you really give them a little excuse, they will make trouble again, and then bargain with us.

What's more, killing Ashikaga Yoshishi, the Kamakura Ashikaga family's close branch will be broken.Whoever you support to the top will not be able to convince the crowd, which is another trouble. "

If you can not kill, it is best not to kill.

Yoshihiro Shiba knew very well that in this samurai society where bloodlines and family status are used to connect the ruling class, connections and backgrounds are far more powerful than swords and guns.

Swords and guns can kill, and so can the heart.A cold gun in the back is more difficult to guard against than a sharp blade in front of you.

If you can do everything, don't do it.Giving people a way out is also giving yourself a way out.Blood politics, human society, killing people is worse than killing one's heart.

Uesugi Terutora looked unhappy, panted twice, and Shiba Yoshigin smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Ashikaga Yoshishi in private, maybe I can persuade her."

Uesugi Terutoro looked at him suspiciously, and persuaded him secretly.

"Mr. Ken Xin, don't accommodate her, this kind of idiot is not worth your nonsense with her."

Uesugi Terutoro looked anxious, and almost wrote the five words, don't use beauty tricks, on his face.
