different warring states of japan

Chapter 1075: Lucky Sheng's Plan

Soon, people from the Hojo family came to attend the meeting. The person who came was Hojo Genan, the aunt of Hojo Ujiyasu, and the diplomatic nun of the Hojo family.

After expressing his condolences, Hojo Huanan entered the main shogunate to have a secret conversation with the two lords, and the rest returned to their tents one after another, waiting for follow-up orders.

Yamanaka Yukimori returned to the camp and said to Honjo Shigecho and Kaji Jingzuna who followed.

"I want to go back to the nearest few days with the imperial platform."

The two concubines looked at each other, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Although Yamanaka Yukimori is the deacon of the Kanto Chamberlain, her power is actually not that great.

Okuma Asohide's line of practice offices manages the government and business affairs of the Kanto Office, and is directly responsible to Shiba Yoshiyin.

Shima Katsuo, as the head of the imperial army, was the leader of the imperial army, and he looked down on the mediocrity Yamanaka Yukimori at all.

Nobushige Sanada had originally been placed high hopes by Shiba Yoshigin, and this time the Kanto Raiders shined even brighter.Although it is called the Odairen Sequence, it is actually independent and does not listen to greetings.

The tribe that Yamanaka Yukimori actually governs is the Echigo Kingdom's Etsubu family converted from the old Yangbei tribe, such as Honjo Shigecho and Kaji Jingzuna.

But Xia Yuezhong followed her, not because she recognized her, but because Yoshihiro Shiba was determined to help her consolidate her base.

Yamanaka Yukimori's ability has always been criticized by others. Loyalty is a virtue, but there is only one word of loyalty, and others are not convinced.Dao Shengmeng thought that she was not worthy of virtue, and the relationship between the two was bad.

But no matter how others look down on her, it will not prevent her from advancing, because Yoshihiro Shibo trusts her very much.There are also rumors outside, saying that she serves the king with sex.

Yamanaka Yukimori didn't care about these things. She had spent several times in the struggle of the samurai family in the past two years, and her childishness had already faded, and the city had become more and more serious.

Because of the Shinbata Rebellion, Kaji Jingzuna voluntarily served Yamanaka Yukimori in order to protect the relatives of the Sasaki Party in Yangbei.If she dared to betray her, why would the Jiadi family hang out in the Guandong Waiter in the future?
Honjo Fancho bears the name of a traitor and has offended too many people.She was let go by Shiba Yoshigin's noble hand and left to Yamanaka Yukimori.Except for Yukimori Yamanaka's command, there is nowhere else to live.

These two concubines and Yamanaka Yukimori both prospered and lost each other, which can be regarded as a different kind of loyalty.

When the sad news of the general's murder came, Yoshihiro Shiba must have reacted, and they were also mentally prepared.But they didn't expect that Yamanaka Yukimori decided to follow Shiba Yoshigin back for a few days.

Honjo Shigeru thought for a while and said.

"The Kyoto Incident, the Imperial Palace has its own decision, we just obey the dispatch."

This is a tactful advice, the interests of the people under the leadership are in Echigo, in the Kanto, what are the recent turmoil doing to them?
If Yamanaka Yukimori wanted to go back, it was not in their interest whether she went alone or brought the elite of Xiayue with her.

In the Kanto Servant, without the deacon Yamanaka Yukimori, the Xia Yuezhong would be marginalized by other factions.Outside the Guandong Servant, Uesugi's retainer group is not a good stubble either.

Samurai politics is a group game of big traps and small circles. The Echigo Samurai Group expands to the outside world and competes with other Samurai Groups for benefits.When sharing benefits with others, it is also necessary to wrestle with the wrists.

Yoshihiro Shiba went back for a few days, but he couldn't come back for a while.Without the leader, Yamanaka Yukimori, who will ensure that the interests of the Wu family group, the Yudai people and Xia Yuezhong, will not be eroded by others?

Yamanaka Yukimori had already guessed their worries and said.

"This time the Kanto Raiders, Sanada has repeatedly made great achievements. Shimao Shengmeng also led the armored cavalry to charge the battle, and the final result was made.

Our contribution cannot be compared with theirs. "

Hearing Yamanaka Yukimori's words, Honjo Shigeru was out of breath.

When Sano was leading the joint battle, Honjo Shigecho had reminded Yamanaka Yukimori to consider his own achievements and not to help others carry the sedan chair in vain.

But what about Yukimori Yamanaka?What kind of high wind and bright festival are you playing!The battle was won, but they themselves became silly green leaves to set off the red flowers.

Now that Yamanaka Yukimori still has the face to mention that his family's military achievements are not enough, can Honjo Shigeru scold others?

Honjo Shigecho prides himself on being both wise and brave, but he was the leader of the young and strong faction in Yangbei that even Teruho Uesugi was afraid of.

Who knew that Shiba Yoshigin came to Echigo and beat her to the point of disgrace.In the end, he was framed by someone in the battle at Kawanakajima, and fell to the point where he was the idiot Yamanaka Yukimori.

What's even more exasperating is that Yamanaka Yukimori still has his own set of logical ideas, and he can't listen to advice at all.If it wasn't for having nowhere to go, Benzhuang Fanchang would have run away!

At this time, she had to suppress her anger and discuss patiently with Yukimori Yamanaka.

"What does Master Shanzhong mean?"

Yamanaka Yukimori glanced at the ugly Honjo Shigecho, of course he knew that this guy must be burying himself in his heart, but she didn't care.

Honjo Shigecho is an uncontrollable wolf. Yamanaka Yukimori has his own way of thinking, but he doesn't want to be led by her nose.

Yamanaka Yukimori thought that if he stayed in Kanto, even if he had the title of deacon of the Kanto Chamber, he would not be able to do much.

Internally, her authority cannot restrict the big bosses of all parties.Externally, Uesugi Terutora would not take her seriously.It seems that the status in Kanto is lofty, but in fact, there is a high probability that it is a waste of time.

Instead of this, it's better to get back to work with the lord.

It is impossible to bring too many people with Shiba Yoshigin's return. Most of the high-level samurai of the Siba forces in Kanto will stay in Kanto to digest the fruits of victory.

If Yamanaka Yukimori returns, he must be a powerful figure in the Kwantung Army second only to Shiba Yoshiyin.

It was impossible for Shiba Yoshigin to take a few people back empty-handed.Not to mention whether the road is safe or not, it will be difficult to suppress the situation after returning to the past few days.

At the beginning, in order to support the Kanto, the Siba leader dispatched a large number of Ji warriors, almost taking out the young and strong Ji warriors from the old Iga people and the old Peking University congregation.

In recent days, Shiba leader claims to be [-] shi, but his strength is actually quite weak. Shiba Yoshiin will definitely consider this.When he returns, he will send an army of Kanto Ji warriors to accompany him.

The Kanto War subsided, but recently there was a chance to make meritorious service.

If the Xia Yuezhong of the Kanto Servant can serve as the main force of the Kanto Ji Samurai Regiment that has returned to Japan this time.What kind of status will her Yamanaka Xingsheng be in Shibo Yiyin's heart?
Regardless of business affairs, Yamanaka Yukimori still had a little selfish desire buried in his heart.General Ashikaga is dead, the lord no longer has to worry about marrying into the imperial palace, and becomes free again.

This time when she returns, she must follow her back, and she must be close to the water first. There are some things that cannot be delayed, and others should not be allowed to take the lead.

Facing Honjo Shigeru's doubts, Kaji Jingzuna's face didn't seem to agree very much, Yamanaka Yukimori had to convince them.

I can't follow back alone in desperation. If I want to go back, I have to bring enough people to have the confidence to speak.

Yamanaka Yukimori said sternly.

"My lord won't be returning anytime soon. Hokuriku Road is blocked by heavy snow in winter, and the earliest time will be when the snow melts in spring.

Before that, the lord will definitely arrange the follow-up of the Kanto Raiders.The first is to distribute the military merit rewards this time, so that everyone can benefit and stabilize the morale of the army.

In this Kanto Raiders, we did not establish dazzling feats.Okuma Asohide has strong logistics, Sanada Nobushige performed amazingly, and Shima Katsumoto also had the amazing cavalry charge.

We can't compete with them, and if we want to get a share of the action, we can only go slanted and find another way. "

The two concubines couldn't help nodding.

No matter how impartial and selfless Yamanaka Yukimori's performance in the Sano battle was, military merit is military merit.Others will not give you an extra share just because you are a prostitute. The Wu family is not so kind.

Things have become like this, it's useless for Honjo Shigecho to care about Yamanaka Yukimori's battlefield decision-making, it's better to listen to her thoughts.

Seeing that they had listened to it, Yamanaka Yukimori felt a sense of certainty in his heart.I'm not afraid of your greed, but I'm afraid of your indifference. As long as you are willing to play tricks, everything will be easy to fool.

Yamanaka Yukimori continued.

"The Kanto Raiders will enter a stagnation after that, and start to digest the results of this battle. The lord will return to the recent days to deal with the affairs of the shogunate. Before he returns, the Kanto Raiders will not make any major moves.

That is to say, before the lord returns, the Guandong Chamberlain has no chance to make meritorious service. "

Honjo Shigecho understood a little bit, what did Yamanaka Yukimori mean, she asked.

"What you mean is that our military merits are not enough, so we might as well follow the imperial platform for a few days and make new achievements."

Jia Di Jinggang was listening with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't quite agree.The Xiayue people are rooted in Kanto, and have no interest in Jinji. They just go to fight in Jinji for meritorious service, and it is difficult to convince the samurai under their command.

Yamanaka Yukimori shook his head and said.

"As a subordinate, how can there be any reason to bargain with the lord? Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the lord. No matter how much the imperial platform gives, we must be grateful.

It's just that my samurai family is based in Echigo Kingdom, but I am willing to take the initiative to volunteer and travel thousands of miles to Jinji to fight for the imperial platform.Such a performance of loyalty, righteousness and bravery, the Lord must be very moved, right?

The actions of Yutai have always been fair and strict, and it is impossible to let everyone shed blood and tears. I will go to the lord and plead, and I will definitely not let everyone down. "

Benzhuang Fanchang and Jiadi Jinggang looked at each other, a little moved.

Yamanaka Yukimori was very favored by Shiba Yoshigin, which was one of the reasons why they were willing to obey orders.

No matter how powerful you are, you have to follow the right people, otherwise, no matter how much you do, you will be doing meritorious deeds for others, and you will drool and wipe your mouth underneath.

Although Yukimori Yamanaka is not very capable, but she can really speak in front of Yoshihiko Shiba, so she is worth following.

What she meant was that Yang Beizhong, the people from Yutai, could take a large amount of benefits before sending troops.At that time, if you have made meritorious service in recent battles, there will definitely be a gift from the imperial platform.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave woman. As long as the benefits are enough, everything can be discussed.

Seeing their excitement, Yamanaka Yukimori said more in response to the situation.

"Although our military achievements have not been shown this time, I intend to ask the Royal Platform to increase the reward.

After all, Xiayue people are willing to send elite Ji warriors to fight with Yutaisuo back in the near future.This loyalty is commendable and cannot be let down.

After the Xinfatian Rebellion, the ownership and jurisdiction of Jiadiji, Xinfatian City and Shiwugongye City have been vague, which is not conducive to long-term stability.

This time, I would like to ask the Royal Office to issue an order to designate all these territories as the Zhixing land of the Kadi family and give them a formal security certificate. "

Kaji Kagetsuna opened his eyes wide, knelt down to Yamanaka Yukimori, kowtowed to the ground.

"Thank you very much, Master Yamanaka, the Kadi family will never forget your kindness."

The rebellion in Shibata spread to the three leaders of Shibata Castle, Shishikono City, and Kadi Castle. After the rebellion was quelled, Shiba Yoshigin ordered Kadi Jingzuna to inherit the Kadi family and temporarily manage the old leaders of the three families.

But this incident actually left a hole, that is, the Guandong servant station was placed in Xinfatian City to suppress a possible rebellion.

The four parties of the old Yangbei Clan, including the Sasaki party, were implicated by the Shinbata Rebellion. Except for the Takemata family who escaped by relying on Uesugi Terutora, the other three were seriously injured.

As the head of the Sasaki party of the old Yangbei Congregation, the Kadi family has a heavy responsibility.Yamanaka Yuki promised her to rule the three leaders, which was to give the Sasaki Party a chance to be a new man.

The territory of the three families of the Sasaki Party is located in the core plain of the Shimoetsu region of the Echigo Kingdom, while the Takemata family is close to the Echigo Mountains, so geographically it is not as rich as the territories of the three families.

Although Jiadi's family manages the three territories, but there is no formal safety and knowledge, Jiadi Jinggang has been hanging a little uneasy in his heart.

As long as the ownership of the territory is clearly divided, there will be no worries about adding land and scenery.Regardless of whether the Guandong Servant is still here, it will not shake the Kadi family's control over the three leaders.

This reward was enough to add to Jing Gang's gratitude to Dade, and sent three elite Ji warriors to follow Yamanaka Yukimori to fight in the near future.

Yamanaka Yukimori turned his head and said to Honjo Shigecho.

"Even if we are willing to go to near Japan to fight, it is inconvenient for the Imperial Palace to give us land other than military achievements.

You know, the Wu family values ​​land the most, and people will always criticize people for gaining territory without military merit. "

Benzhuang Fanchang nodded, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

She was a little greedy when she saw Kaji Ketsuna's reward, but in fact, Kaji Ketsuna didn't get more territory than military merit, and Shiba Yoshihiro could easily give this reward.

The samurai family values ​​land, and their military merits are not enough. It is okay to ask the loyal soldiers who have sent troops to exchange for something else, but it is not practical to exchange land.

Just when Honjo was disappointed, Yamanaka Yukimori smiled and said.

"Although we can't get more land, we can fight for the business route of Agano River.

The owner of the village made great contributions to the Shibata Rebellion, and the lord gave him the right to manage the trade routes leading to the Shonai area, so he must have benefited a lot from it, right? "

Ben Zhuang's long eyes glowed, his breath became three points heavier, and he bowed.

"Thanks to the great favor of the imperial platform, this banker has indeed reaped a lot."

The main trade route between Echigo and Ou is from the Agano River across the valley to the four counties of Aizu on the other side of the Echigo Mountains.

What Honjo Shigetsu has obtained, the commercial route from the northern part of Shimoetsu to the inner area of ​​Dewa Kunizo, is just a drop in the bucket.But it's just this hair, which has already made the dealer very satisfied.

Commercial routes not only represent commercial income and checkpoint taxation, the most important thing is the communication with the surrounding samurai territories.

The owner of the village is a traitor in the eyes of the old Yangbei people. If the owner wants to survive for a long time in the future, he must ease the hostility of the samurai in the surrounding territories towards him, and business is the best way.

The business route is controlled by Honzhuang Fanzhang, and she is willing to share the benefits with the surrounding warriors. We are good friends, and the past can pass.

In the final analysis, who wants to have trouble with money? Wasn't the previous unhappiness for the sake of family business and profit?
Yamanaka Yukimori said.

"The Yasuda family has taken refuge with His Highness Uesugi. Her family's Yasuda Castle is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Agano River, at the entrance of the mountains and valleys. Although the location is favorable, her family's hand is too long.

I heard that her family has a lot of goods in private, and it has not been processed through the account. "

Honzhuang Fanchang said in a positive tone.

"There is such a thing? Isn't this a flagrant violation of the plan for the distribution of Hokuriku business profits between the Kanto Servant and Uesugi's retainers?

It's really shocking that Yasuda's Governor Xiu dared to use his power for personal gain. "

Honjo Shigecho has already tasted the taste, pretending to be upright and selfless, and being a fan of Yamanaka Yukimori.
