Chapter 1073 Order Defender

After that, Kakizaki Jingjia couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in asking questions.The person she questioned was Naoe Kanetsugu who brought the news just last night.

"How did the Hojo family get the news of Miyoshi's rebellion?"

Naoe Kane continued to meditate.

"Maybe it's from the Tokaido trade route?

The Hojo family occupies the Izu country gold mine, and a large part of the family's military expenses is spent on Izu gold to buy military supplies in Sunfu Castle. They have a good relationship with the Tokaido caravan.

The incident of Miyoshi's regicide has shocked the world, and sooner or later it will make the world boil. It is not surprising that the Hojo family can get this news. "

The Hokuriku Road trade route was under the control of Shiba's family, and the news arrived in Echigo Naoetsu, and the two rushed to report the news.

On the other hand, Odawara Castle is close to the Tōkaidō trade route, so even though the news was learned later than Shiba's house, the distance back to the main house was closer.

Both parties got news at the same time last night. Although it was a coincidence, it can be explained.The question now is, should we acknowledge the news?
Ujiyasu Hojo first released the news, which made the Kwantung Union soldiers panic. Now the Kwantung Wu family's eyes are all on the Echigo side.

If Uesugi Terutora and Shiba Yoshigin admit it, then Hojo Ujiyasu can use this to tear a corner, and the siege of Odawara Castle may be solved.

Taking back the Kyoto shogunate and avenging Ashikaga Yoshiki are Shiba Yoshigin's top priority as a shogunate official and Ashikaga Yoshiki's fiancé.

Hojo Shiyasu has stated that the Hojo family is willing to do their part for the general's revenge.Will Shibo Yiyin accept this olive branch?Is Uesugi Terutora willing to cooperate?

If Shiba Yoshigin hadn't taken the initiative to meet Uesugi Terotora last night, the two parties had reached a compromise.Hojo Shiyasu's conspiracy is likely to succeed in clarifying the differences between the two parties.

Shiba Yoshigin thought he was lucky, and he glanced at Uesugi Terotora with lingering fear.

Fortunately, the matter was settled yesterday. If Yasuichi Hojo scrambled until today, and Kaesugi Terutora had such a violent temper, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.

Yi Yin sighed.

"No matter where Hojo Shiyasu got the news from, what she said is indeed the truth. I originally wanted to keep it from the Kanto samurai for the time being, and announce it after we make arrangements.

Now it seems that it has to be ahead of schedule. "

It’s useless not to admit it. Yoshiki Ashikaga did die in Kyoto. If Yoshihiro Shiba denies this today and the truth comes out later, it will seriously damage his image.

Yiyin's strength is not enough, it is almost no more than [-] shi.The control of the Guandong Servant is still too weak, and it is okay to drive these warriors to pursue profits, but it is not yet known whether they can be turned into their own power.

With his weak strength, he can compete with the big names of the Rokkaku family, the Miyoshi family, the Hojo family, the Takeda family, and the Uesugi family, relying on Wusou and Giri's personality.

Invincibility is the confidence to speak, and benevolence, justice and trustworthiness are the capital of negotiations.

Agreements between daimyo are maintained with fists, if they turn their backs, they will turn their backs.Although Yiyin's image of Giri is often ridiculed by outsiders as her husband's benevolence, it is not bad.

Who doesn't like an ally with integrity?Yiyin's trustworthy name like Yiyin is a big fool who can make people sleep at ease.

Family status, pedigree, temperament, experience, these things make up Yiyin's personality, make him, and limit him.

If he doesn't recognize the Kyoto Incident, he will directly kick Hojo Shiyasu's conspiracy back.Even if I explain that I don't know it in the future, so many pairs of eyes inside and outside are not blind.

Integrity is a luxury in troubled times, and one lie will be interpreted countless times, directly smashing one's own golden brand.

What's more, this lie also involves his fiancée who died tragically. The benevolent and righteous person is likely to collapse directly. This risk is not worth taking.

Uesugi Terotora asked when Yoshihiro said frankly that he would announce it.

"What about after the announcement? Are we going to accept the loyalty of the Hojo family?"

Uesugi's retainers looked at the lord in surprise, they didn't expect Uesugi Terutoro to accept it calmly.

Hojo Ujiyasu offered an olive branch, and if Yoshihiro Shiba accepted it, the Uesugi family would suffer the most.

The Echigo samurai family was alienated from Kinji, and they didn't care that Ashikaga Yoshiki was cut into several sections. What they wanted was the land of the Kanto Plain.

The Hojo family was dying, and they almost sent her family on the road with a last shiver.Recently, the samurai dog bit the dog, and did the Echigo samurai thing?
Facing their questioning eyes, Terutor Uesugi didn't even look at them, she believed in Yoshihiro Shiba.

This young man's greatest ability is to ease the conflict of interests of all people and drive them to follow the path he wants to see.

Of course, Yoshigin noticed the dissatisfaction of Uesugi's retainers, and he had already figured out a plan to deal with it, he said.

"The scale of Odawara Castle is far beyond our imagination, it is inconvenient to attack by force, only to besieged.

The first snow last night made me very worried, whether the water supply line behind us will freeze and freeze when the snow season comes.

The strategic goal of taking down Odawara Castle and subduing the Hojo family in one fell swoop is already unrealistic, so what needs to be considered now is to maximize the benefits and conclude this year's journey perfectly. "

Yoshiyin's words were tall and tall, but he didn't satisfy the Uesugi retainers.

Kakizaki Jingjia gave Saito Chaoxin a look, hoping that she would come forward and ask for specific countermeasures.But Saito Asanobu silently looked away, pretending to be dead to the end.

When Yiyin came to Kanto, the first thing he did was to command China and Vietnam to suppress the rebellion.

At that time, Saito Chaoxin didn't know how powerful this Yutaisuo was, and his attitude was quite unruly.Afterwards, Yiyin took care of her in a very embarrassing situation, and from then on, she was cowardly and did not dare to show her thorns.

Seeing her cowardice, the Kakizaki Jing family couldn't help feeling angry, but if they really wanted to come forward, their hearts were beating.The imperial platform is so magnificent, who would want to be scolded by being the first bird?

The two looked at Naoe Kanetsugu at the same time, which made her feel apprehensive.Afterwards, these military bosses are really shameless and will bully the juniors.

But under the fierce eyes of the two, Naoe Kanetsugu had no choice but to come out and discuss.

The interests of the Uesugi samurai group need someone to come forward and ask. Naoe Ketsuna and Naoe Kanetsugu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have a lot of contacts with the Kanto servants, and they have a good relationship with the Imperial Palace. If she doesn't ask, who should she ask?

Naoe Kanetsugu bowed his head and asked respectfully.

"Odaisho, do we have to retreat?

In fact, Hojo is rich and prosperous, and the Kwantung Allied Forces have plundered a lot of military supplies. Even if the winter snow makes logistics difficult, it is not impossible to support it.

The Hojo family is now in dire straits, and they will be harmed even if they don't kill the tiger. Is it a pity to retreat at this time? "

After Naoe Kanesuke finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.Although her words were euphemistic, they also questioned the king's decision-making and were suspected of being disrespectful.

Yoshihiro didn't care. If he wanted to retreat smoothly, it was not enough to deal with Terutora Uesugi, he had to resolve the doubts of Uesugi's retainers, so he was willing to explain.

He said.

"There are two problems with your thinking.

First, does the heavy snow and ice really have no effect on us?

The Kwantung Allied Forces robbed the territory of the Hojo family and formed a deep hatred with the local samurai in Sagami. Why should we share this bloody supply?
Our goal is to take the territory of the Hojo family. The samurai here hate us. What good will it do for us to rule this land in the future?
Moreover, Echigo had its own supplies and never asked the Kwantung Allied Forces to seize them.Will they be dissatisfied if they are suddenly asked to hand in supplies at this moment?cause more trouble?
Second, is the Hojo family exhausted?

Odawara Castle was besieged, and our army seemed to have the upper hand.But the city has high walls and thick walls, the outer gate extends to the sea, the Hojo family has no shortage of supplies, and people's hearts are stable. How long will it take to surround such a huge city?
It is impossible for us to cross Odawara Castle to attack Izu Country, which has more mountains and is easier to defend. Behind the Hojo family, there is a steady stream of supplies from Izu Country imported from the sea.

How much patience do these mobs of the Kwantung Allied Forces have to besiege Odawara Castle with us?a month?three months?half a year?
I'm afraid that before the beginning of spring, these Kanto samurai who have robbed enough will find an excuse to retreat and run back to their own territory to participate in spring plowing.

Since they are doomed to be unable to defeat the Hojo family at once, why not take advantage of their compromise and get more benefits to lay the foundation for the next expedition.

Just because we retreat doesn't mean we won't come back.The situation in Kanto has been decided, and most of the Kanto samurai have abandoned the Hojo family.Her family can only guard their own territory, defending against our attacks again and again.

Today's retreat is for us to accumulate strength and take down the Hojo family with smaller losses in the future.

What's more, everyone has fought fiercely and gained a lot.Rather than enduring this useless winter under Odawara Castle, it is better to go back early to calculate military merit rewards and distribute the harvest to meritorious ministers. "

Yiyin spoke a long paragraph, only a few wise and courageous bigwigs followed suit and nodded in approval.But when he changed the subject and talked about the reward, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became heated.

Most of the warriors are short-sighted, and they come out to fight for the reward.Who wants to be shivering in a tent on the front line in winter, return to the army to reward them, and return home with benefits? This is a very popular saying.

Uesugi Terutoro was beside him, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw that Yoshigin's few words had aroused the hearts of Ji warriors.

Shiba Yoshigin understands people's hearts too well.

The scene was so lively that the big bosses of the Uesugi family did not dare to stop the Ji warriors from returning to the army to share their contributions.And they also have a share, so they still take the big head.

Without Uesugi Terutoro coming forward to stop him, Yoshihiro played around with these people, playing with them in his hands, he is really a terrible male goblin.

Naoe Kanetsugu, who represented Uesugi's vassals, was calm, she bowed and asked.

"What does Odaisho mean to let the Hojo family go temporarily?"

Yi Yin shook his head and said.

"Hojo Shiyasu wanted to block my mouth with righteousness, but it was not so easy to pass.

I do have to go back to recent days to settle some personal matters, but before I go back, I will also arrange the follow-up of the Kanto Raiders.

We need time to digest this autumn's harvest and accumulate strength to prepare for the next expedition. "

Yiyin speaks impeccably.

He didn't look like a fire in the backyard, and he rushed back to fight the fire in a hurry.The tone is that there was a little friction at home, and it was easy to go back and press and finish.

Based on his past achievements, this tone is really not big, and Zhongji also thinks it is reasonable.

The brave Echigo samurai are afraid of this imperial master, how could those soft-legged shrimps these days be his opponents.

The most important thing is that the Kanto strategy was not postponed because of the Miyoshi rebellion and the Kyoto incident, and it was still advancing step by step. Shiba Yoshiyin promised that his private affairs would not affect the interests of the Echigo samurai family.

Just when Zhu Ji was smiling, Yi Yin suddenly slammed his palm on the copybook, pouring a huge basin of cold water on the warm atmosphere.

Everyone was looking at him inexplicably, not knowing what he meant.Yiyin looked at his palms that were flushed from excessive force, and said slowly.

"Aren't you happy? You're going home soon, and you're about to get the reward you deserve.

This stumps me, any idea why?Because my fiancée died, the Samurai world lost the Ashikaga shogun, and the Optimus Prime, but no one felt sad.

It scares me.

I'm not worried about the chaos in Kyoto. The three good rats will kill the king and rebel, and they will die a good death.I don't worry about the future of the shogunate either, order will eventually triumph over chaos and everything will return to tranquility.

I am afraid of this chaotic world, this world of mercenary and mercenary.

The world of martial arts is the world of all our martial arts. If we don't take it seriously, we will be the ones who suffer in the end.

The death of General Ashikaga can't make you feel sad and frightened. Ask yourself, is this really right?

The world is in chaos, and even General Ashikaga is not spared. Where can you wait for the ants?The worst order is better than the best chaos.

I hope our world is a world where right and wrong are clearly distinguished, but now there is a voice in my ear telling me that no one in this world desires justice and cares about righteousness.

General Ashikaga died in the battle in Kyoto, and Miyoshi was arrogant and domineering.You can still laugh, what happened to this world?
Even if I sacrifice myself and kill Kyoto, I will tell everyone.There are still people in this world who care about axiom, justice, and Ashikaga Yoshiki.

Hanoi Genji's descendants have not yet died, and the righteousness of the world has not yet ceased.The principles of the Wu family still exist, the order of the Wu family still exists, this world is still our Wu family's world!
In order for our descendants to live in a world with faith, justice, and righteousness, I must go back.

May justice always exist and righteousness last forever. "

After Yiyin finished speaking, he silently closed his eyes.

Afterwards, all Ji warriors in the audience kowtowed to express their lofty respect to him.The Wu family value profit over righteousness, but they are so eager for righteousness and value etiquette.

Social order, reflected in laws and regulations, is the bottom line for protecting the weak.Rules and regulations can be unfair and can be revised, but they must exist.Without laws, there is no bottom line.

The operation of society must have an effective order to protect the weak and resist the endless greed of the strong.Don't let the weak be wiped out, but leave some room for the weak to survive.

No one will be strong forever, even if there is, her descendants may become weak.Therefore, order is the cornerstone of social stability and development.

Although Yoshihiko Shiba, the defender of the samurai order, falters in reality, he can make everyone feel ashamed and respectful spiritually.

All the concubines at the scene shouted sincerely, no matter they were from the Kanto servants or the Uesugi retainers.

"Royal station! On board! Royal station! Martial luck is prosperous!"
