Chapter 1336 Expanding Influence

Yoshigin quickly pulled Uesugi Terutora up and cursed.

"What are you doing! What if you smashed your brain!"

Fortunately, the tatami floor was soft. Although the force was not small, it was not a serious problem, except that there was a big red spot on the head.

Uesugi Terutoro grabbed Yoshiyin's hand to help him up, and said affectionately.

"You treat me with love like the sea, but I embarrass you everywhere, what a jerk.

I don't know how to express my guilt, so I just kowtow to the ground and apologize to you. "

Yiyin took out a square handkerchief and helped her wipe her forehead with a nervous expression.

"Are you apologizing? You are trying to scare me to death! How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Seeing his worried face, Terutoro Uesugi felt better for some reason, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I've always been tough, this little bump is nothing."

Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Yiyin sat back in his seat angrily, and sighed.

"You know how to bully me."

Uesugi Terutora came closer and sat up, saying with a straight face.

"You are right, I only care about my own happiness, and never consider your difficulties.

The failure of the Kanto Raiders this time is all my responsibility.You have prepared for me regardless of the previous suspicions, but I have put all my heart into humiliating you, it really deserves to die.

Now that the situation is grim, it is better not to make your affairs public for the time being.It's just that you and I have skin-to-skin relationship, so doing this is really wronging you.

Every time I see you circling among those Ji warriors, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the way they look at you.

You, it is too bitter. "

Seeing her talking to him in such a low voice, Yiyin felt a little ashamed in his heart, and even felt uneasy.

Uesugi Terotora has deep roots in his love for him. In the past few years, the two have fought side by side, trusted each other, and their relationship has become more mellow.

Back then, Terutor Uesugi had a crush on Yoshihiro, and the system passively filled up his favorability.Now, her feelings for Yiyin have become sincere, so strong that they cannot be let down.

This made Yiyin feel a little scared.

Uesugi Huihu girl succeeded to the throne, heroic and good at fighting.Over the years, he has been decisive in killing and cutting, and he is in charge of the Echigo Kingdom, which can be called the top tyrant in the Kanto region.

But emotionally, she is extremely pure.Since her mother's death, she has shut down her personal emotions and devoted herself to the military strategy, killing all directions.

But in the past few years, she has made concessions to Yiyin several times, which can be described as extremely naive politically, which is equivalent to giving up half of the family business to Yiyin.

If one day she realizes that Yiyin never thought of marrying her, what will she think, will her pure love turn into pure hatred?

Today, she is willing to share even her family fortune for Yiyin.In the future, when she sees through Yiyin's thoughts, will she smash the family property to pieces and die together with Yiyin?

Yoshihiro looked at Uesugi Terutora's pretty face sincerely apologizing, but a cold sweat broke out from behind his back.

No, it won't work like this.

For now, the only option is to give her a child.Only the concern of the child, which is connected by blood, can completely extinguish her thoughts of breaking the pot in the future.

Yi Yin sighed and said.

"Do you only say sorry to me?"

Uesugi Terutora was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but his mouth was blocked by the lips and tongue offered by Yoshigin.

Her eyes widened, she was at a loss for Yiyin's hot and cold attitude, and didn't know how to deal with it.

After Yiyin kissed her, the tip of his tongue swept across her cheeks, hooked a little on her earlobe, and then blew into the earhole to speak.

"What's the use of saying sorry, love me."

Uesugi Terutora's eyes instantly lit up with lust, respect is worse than obedience.

---

After the storm, the two sat face to face again.

Yoshihiro's expression was a little lazy, and Uesugi Terutora looked at him gently, like a cherished treasure, sweeping his eyes, nose, mouth, neck, chest, down to the bottom.

The aggressive gaze made Yiyin feel uncomfortable, he looked up at the beam, thought for a while, and said.

"It turns out that Sano Masatsuna committed suicide, and the Sano family surrendered to you.

No wonder people like Utsunomiya and Satake have been sending envoys to me, hoping that I can understand their difficulties in forming the Eastern People. "

When Uesugi Teruta saw that Yoshigin was talking about business, he also restrained his presumptuous eyes and said seriously.

"The Hojo family formed an alliance with me and recognized Ueno Country, Musashi Country Iwatsuryo and other places as my sphere of influence.

The Satomi family in the Boso Peninsula reacted the fastest, and have reached peace with the Hojo family.Of course those samurai from the Shimono and Hitachi countries would be afraid.

They originally expected me to fight with the Hojo family to lose both sides, but they didn't expect that our two families would join hands one day.The Eastern Crowd was formed to resist encroachment on them by me and the Hojo family.

It's a pity that the Sano family surrendered, and the Shimono gate fell into my hands again. They were worried that I would raise troops to conquer the disobedient ministers.

Jindadian, you met with the Kwantung general in Furukawa and received the imperial order of no war in Kwantung.The people of the East will surely pay you respects, using this shield as a life-saving straw.

But don't take their words too seriously. These local famous families can be traced back to before the Genpei war, and they have mixed with the Kamakura and Ashikaga shogunate.

Being able to stick to the family business until now must be able to judge the situation and make profits for oneself.Their respect, just listen to it, it's not worth taking it seriously. "

Speaking of business, Terutora Uesugi used the respectful title of Yoshigin.It seems that she is really ready to keep her promise, be her underground lover well, and won't cause trouble for Yiyin for the time being.

Seeing that she was obedient, Yiyin was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"As long as they recognize your status, the Kanto system's control over them, and are willing to follow the rules, that's fine."

The samurai families of the Shimono and Hitachi countries were shocked and frightened by Terotora Uesugi's peace talks with Yasushi Hojo, so they had no choice but to form the Eastern Crowd to protect themselves.

What Yoshigin is most worried about is that these local famous families will break away from the new Kanto system headed by Ashikaga Yoshiji and Uesugi Terotora.

Today, the Sano collar, which is Shimono's gateway, is once again under the control of Uesugi Terutoro.The people in the east are unwilling to have a bad relationship with Shiba Uesugi, so each family sent messengers to find Yoshiyin to subdue the curve, which would be the best.

Yoshiyin hopes to peacefully change the Guanbashu samurai by boiling the frog in warm water and using the soft knife of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association.As long as these people recognize the new Kanto system and are willing to abide by the rules, they will not be able to turn the sky.

As the origin of the samurai, the Kanto Plain has a complicated history.Even if we only talk about the Kanto system during the Ashikaga shogunate period, it is still a mess.

The Kwantung General and the Kwantung Commander had disliked each other for a long time, and the Kyoto shogunate was wary of the Kwantung General's previous record of rebellion, and had been instigating the two sides to fight each other.

The Kwantung general moved to Furukawa, and the Kwantung system can roughly be divided into east and west by Tone River as the boundary.

In the west, there are Ueno, Musashi, and Sagami Three Kingdoms, as well as the Izu Country and Kai Country that are not part of the Kanto Eight States but are listed under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Ten Kingdoms.

In the east, there are Xiazong, Shangzong, Anfang, Hitachi, and Shimono Five Kingdoms.

When the four lines of the Uesugi family, the governor of the Kanto, were the most prosperous, they once held the guardianship rights of Ueno Musashi, Sagami, Izu, Echigo and other countries, and even the Kanto generals avoided their edge. .

Therefore, the General of the Kanto came to Furukawa City to open the Imperial Palace, and competed with the Kanto governor for the hegemony of the Kanto, and he has been wooing the local warriors from the five eastern countries.

Most of the samurai families in the eastern part of the Kanto region had a background in the Kamakura shogunate, and the Kanto generals gave them honor within the Kanto system as a show of favor.

Among them, the most famous are the eight powerful samurai families who have been allowed to use Yagataka.These eight families are also known as Kanto Hachiyagata, and their territories are mainly spread over the five eastern countries.

What happened later was beyond everyone's expectations. The Kwantung General and the Kwantung Guan led the fire, and in the end it turned out to be cheap for the newly rising Hojo family.

The current Kwantung General Ashikaga Yoshihiro has a reputation, but he can only stay in Furukawa City as a good boy, and he has no courage or strength to continue to toss.

And all the lines of the Uesugi family were almost wiped out, and it was replaced by Uesugi Terutora, the name of the Nagao family in the Echigo Prefecture, to inherit the family name of the Uesugi family in the mountains and the Kanto leader, which is more or less a fig leaf.

The Hojo family has long been eyeing the five eastern countries, and has been instigating the local samurai families to fight against the famous families, and then find excuses to intervene in it to profit.

The Boso Peninsula in the southeast has been fighting with you for many years, and finally through this alliance between the Hojo and Uesugi, the peninsula overlord Satomi’s last breath was broken, and he was willing to bow his head and make peace.

However, the samurai families of Changlu and Shimono were not convinced. Headed by Satake, Utsunomiya, Xiaoshan, and Yuki, they formed the Dongfang Congregation for self-protection in the Northeast.

Yiyin doesn't care about these people's petty thoughts, counting from Hojo's family, all the Caotou kings in Guanbazhou, big and small, have ulterior motives.

All he wants is for everyone to recognize the current new Kanto system, so that the local government can be suppressed in the name of the central government, and only then can they use their means to achieve righteousness.

He said.

"As long as the people of the East admit their mistakes, you can forgive them magnanimously.

In this way, I can send the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to their territory to help the local samurai resume production and restore the centripetal force to the Kanto system. "

Uesugi Terutora laughed.

"The Samurai Giri Promotion Association is really a useful knife, this time Sano Masatsuna died with peace, I am very satisfied.

Let Dazang Chang'an work harder, and when we recharge our batteries and attack again, we will see if the local warriors will eat pots of pulp to meet the heavenly soldiers. "

Yoshihiro glanced at Uesugi Terutora, she, like Seki Yashu's daimyo, recognized the threat from the Samurai Giri Promotion Association.

However, their understanding is not enough.

People who have been poor for generations, when they saw the lighthouse for the first time, their three views were shattered, which was enough to completely change the color of the grassroots of Guanbazhou.

Yoshigin thought for a while, but did not continue to discuss this topic with Uesugi Terutoro.Because even if he said it, it would be difficult for Uesugi Terutora to understand.

If Yiyin hadn't seen the fanaticism of the converts whose three views were broken in his previous life, he would not have believed that the power of yearning for the lighthouse would be so powerful.

The martial arts family has had a love affair since ancient times, and it may be more fanatical than those lighthouse converts in the previous life, maybe it is.

Yi Yin sighed.

"The imperial order of no war in Kanto this time even affected the Ou region. Both the Osaki family and the Mogami family sent people to show their respect and accept the imperial order."

Uesugi Terutora laughed dumbfounded.

"General Kwantung can't control the Ouyu and Ouyang countries, why are these two families here to join in the fun?"

Yiyin smiled wryly.

"They wrote me a private letter in the name of Shiba's relatives. They said that the Ou Takeshi family was also troubled by the disaster, but they were suffering from the militarism and did not give everyone a chance to recuperate."

Uesugi Terutora frowned.

"They mean Date Masamune's one-eyed girl?"

Yoshigin nodded, Uesugi Terutora sighed.

"These people are thick-skinned, and even took advantage of you. When you were down and out, why didn't they remember that they were Shibaichi?"

Yiyin smiled wryly and shook his head.

The Ou area has always been a very marginalized area in the samurai politics of the island country.

Because of the lack of fuel in the Middle Ages, humans were unable to conquer regions that were too cold.

The Ou region seems to be a vast area, but in fact, the south is slightly better. Only the animal husbandry is relatively developed in the north, and the permafrost cannot grow much food or support many people.

Land and population are the core capital of farming society.The Ou region is sparsely populated, so naturally it does not occupy a very important political position.

Only by waiting for the development of human productivity and gradually improving the use of energy can it be possible to gain a foothold in colder regions, but that is after the industrial age.

The Ashikaga shogunate's control over the Ou area is also quite weak.At the beginning, it was entrusted to the Kanto General of Kamakura Prefecture, and then chose to send a probe to check and balance the Kanto General.

The location of Ou's research question changed several times, and finally fell on the descendants of the Shiba family.

After the Oushiba branch established itself, the eldest daughter line and the second daughter line inherited the Oshu Tanti and the Yushu Tanti respectively, which were the ancestors of the Osaki family and the Mogami family.

The Ou area is too large, and the local prefects are very independent.And the Date family is the local prefect who started from Date County.

When General Kwantung rebelled, he not only went to fight in Kyoto, but also tentatively entered the Ou area.

As for the exploration of the Ou area, the Ashikaga general in Kyoto didn't believe it very much, and always used the balance hand that the Ashikaga family is best at, dividing and conquering.

The Date family seized the opportunity and quickly approached General Ashikaga.Shangluo, the family governor of several generations, has won the trust of the generals of all dynasties and was granted many powers.

The Date family continued to expand their influence through marriage, replacing the Osaki family and becoming the overlord of Oshu.

It's a pity that a civil strife interrupted the Date family's hegemony.Otherwise, the Date family may have unified the Ou region.

And this generation of the Governor of the Date family, relying on the good foundation laid by his grandmother and mother, once again ignited his ambition to conquer Ou.

She even caused her mother to be coerced to death because of her too drastic actions, which offended many allies and relatives.

But even with enemies on all sides, it is difficult for Ou's local daimyo to defeat the mighty Date family through their own strength.

Only then did the Osaki family and the Mogami family turn their gazes to the south, thinking of Shiba Yoshigin, the eldest son of the clan, who came to show his favor.

Yoshigin and Uesugi Terutora are no strangers to the Ou incident. Back in the Shimoetsu-Shinbata Rebellion, it was the Ashina family and the Date family from Oshu who coveted the Shimoetsu land and intervened.

It's a pity that the governor of Lu Ming's family was killed, cutting off the foreign aid of Xinfatian's family.Yiyin was able to quickly put down Xiayue's rebellion, and it was God's help.
