different warring states of japan

Chapter 1659

Yiyin made his debut eight years ago, from Kinki to Kanto, every samurai family bowed his head, and by this time, no one dared to fight.

Others respectfully fear the power of the Shiba family, but Yoshihiro himself knows exactly how much he has.

In terms of hard power, let alone Oda Nobunaga, the most powerful man in the world, even Uesugi, Takeda, and Hojo San Francisco in Kanto, and even Date Xiaobawang in Ou, have a stronger foundation than the Shiba family.

Yiyin bull b is bull b, no matter what the situation is, he never loses on the battlefield.

Whether it is Miyoshi who is in full swing, Takeda who is planning and then moves, Hojo who has accumulated a lot of money, or Oda who is enterprising and enterprising, these powerful heroes of the era are all defeated by Yoshihiro.

How lonely it is to be invincible, but behind being invincible does not mean that Yiyin can afford to lose.

As long as he accidentally loses once and is stripped of the undefeated tiger skin, then the real strength of the Shiba family will not be able to effectively support his dominance, and many things will not be up to him to decide.

This is also the reason why Yoshihiro tried his best to engage in the Great Review of the Kanto Chamber, Shiba Oda teamed up, and even used Shinto to send himself to the altar.

Siba's theocracy is not as strong as everyone imagined, and Yoshigin also lacks the confidence to tear himself apart with a powerful daimyo, so he has to make more friends and fewer enemies.

Fortunately, he is a man with amazing looks and excellent seeds, so he can unite all feudal clans through bed politics and achieve great achievements.

But how many people can really empathize with walking on thin ice behind this political operation?

Date Masamune relented, Yamanaka Yuki was joyful, but Yoshigin couldn't let go of Uesugi Kenshin's reaction in his heart.

Until the beginning of spring, Yoshihiro had been in Dahucheng for 20 days, but Kenshin Uesugi from Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Kingdom still did not respond.

The staunch and arrogant Kanto leader seems to be unable to see Yoshihiro who has come back from the circle, which makes Yoshihiro feel a little uneasy, hesitating in front of the Echigo Mountains that are close at hand.

Once they have crossed the Kogogo Mountains, it will be a face-to-face open and honest meeting between Shiba Uesugi and his family, which can also be regarded as a political showdown.

Uesugi Kenshin held Yoshiyin's daughter in his hands, and Yoshiyin didn't know what attitude he should use.

Be tough, I'm sorry Uesugi Kenshin who has been infatuated for many years, after all, Yoshigin himself has been a green tea for many years, and he will not let go or refuse, he is comparable to a scum.

To be soft, Uesugi Ken is confident that his daughter will inherit everything about Yoshihiro. If Yoshihiro compromises at this time, it will not be conducive to the reintegration and balance of the Goddess Group in the future.

All in all, Uesugi Kenshin is a difficulty that Yoshihiro has to overcome, even if he bites the bullet, he will continue to set off.

If the delay continues, the New Year's Kanto Chamber of Commerce will be held. If Uesugi Kenshin initiates a surge, Yoshihiro will be even more passive.

Date Masamune returned to his hometown in Ou on his own, and Yoshigin, escorted by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsumo, continued northward, bypassed Mount Akagi, and entered the Numata Basin along the upper reaches of the Tone River.

As soon as Yiyin's cavalry team entered Numata Territory, they were welcomed back to Numata City by the elder Kawada who was waiting, and hosted a banquet that night.

The famous Walnut City farther away is in the hands of Sanada, and Nobushige Sanada also arrived at this time to join in the banquet.

At the banquet, important ministers from Yoshihiro's side included Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsumo, Sanada Nobushige, Gamo Shigo, etc., to give Kawada a face-saving kiss.

Although Kawada's eldest relative came from a close family of Uesugi Kenshin, she was not a local samurai of Echigo, but a self-recommended samurai who was accepted by Uesugi Kenshin Shangluo in Omi.

The Uesugi retainers of this faction are also different in the Uesugi retainer group, and are called the Omi faction.

The Omi faction is estranged from the Echigo Group, but the relationship with Yoshiyin is quite close.

On the one hand, both sides are the Kinki samurai family of Uesugi Kenshin who came to Echigo Kingdom with Uesugi Kenshin after Shangluo.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Omi faction, Kawada Changkin, Yoshie Ziken, and Kasaka Nagami, their fortunes originated from the military exploits made by Yoshigin when Etsuchu was in battle.

Even the place of knowledge and practice of the three of them was sealed in Yue China, which was clearly separated from the Echigo Wu Family.

It was only in the later Kanto Raiders, Kawada Changqin's department was pulled out by Shiba Uesugi to shoot the first shot because he had little entanglement with the Echigo samurai.

The Numata Basin is located at the exit of the Echigo Mountains and is the outpost of the Echigo Plain breaking into the Kanto Plain.

The strategic location of this place is extremely important. Kawada Chang personally resolved the civil strife in Numata's retainer regiment and fired the first shot for the Kanto Raiders.

Uesugi Kenshin valued her bravery and wisdom, and she has been stationed in this important town for a long time.

In the northern part of the mountain pass, the defense of Walnut Castle is in charge of the Sanadas from Agatsuma County, and it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Shiba family.

This is also a manifestation of the Shiba Uesugi two sharing the strategic value of the Numata Basin. Similar mutual constraints and mutual cooperation abound in the Echigo duopoly.

Therefore, in this kind of Echigo duopolitical structure where there is me in you and you in me, once the two parties break up, the Shiba Uesugi and the two will be hit hard.

Because the territories of the two sides are mixed together, it is difficult to sort out clearly. If we really want to start from our own safety, we can only fight for a new boundary.

Kawada's eldest relative is also worried about the current murky political situation.

The genealogy headed by Naoe Ketsuna, the Naojo headed by Honjo Mino, and the Echigo samurai who are attached to the Uesugi family, these local natives are still flustered, let alone the Omi faction with a weak foundation.

Kawada's eldest relative is really afraid that once the Echigo Group breaks up internally and rejects dissidents, outsiders like them must be the first to suffer.

Kawada Changkin, Yoshie Ziken, and Kasaka Nagami, if those from Omi can become officials in their hometown and have a good future, why should they come to Kanto to develop with Uesugi Kenshin?

Learn literary and martial arts, buy with the emperor's family, this is the hard truth that has never changed through the ages.

After finally giving up his life and earning merit, now that he has knowledge and status, he naturally hopes to pass on this family business in a safe and secure manner.

Yoshigin has a close relationship with Uesugi Kenshin, and the foreign Omi faction is an important bargaining chip for Uesugi Kenshin to check and balance the Echigo native faction.

But if Echigo's two-headed politics breaks down, then the Uesugi family will inevitably become conservative and no longer trust outsiders, and the status of the Omi faction will be embarrassing.

If it is said that Naoe Ketsuna and Honjo are these local bigwigs, their headache is that they don't want to lose the political status of the Uesugi family's No. [-] figure in the Kanto Servant, and lose the political advantage of being the first mover.

So for outsiders like Kawada Changki, the stability of the Echigo duopoly is the top priority for their future and family business.

In comparison between the two, it is natural that Kawada Changqin and the Omi faction are more afraid of Yoshigin and Uesugi Kenshin parting ways.

Without Echigo's two-headed political structure, Echigo's local samurai would be heartbroken at most, but the Omi faction would become a rootless duckweed, and the disaster would not be far away.

At the banquet, Kawada Changqin, Yoshie Zijian, and Sakazaka Changshi exchanged glances in private, hesitant to speak.

Yoshiyin watched their small movements below, and suddenly became a little relieved when he was about to face Kenshin Uesugi.

In recent years, Yiyin has been throwing coins desperately, and the whole group of Uesugi's retainers have not lost the benefits.

Before Yoshigin came to Echigo Kingdom, Uesugi Kenshin's ruling method was just two words, rough.Suppression by force is excessive, but softness is not enough.

And after Yiyin came, everyone had money and status. They took a lot of benefits from the Hokuriku Road trade route, and swallowed a lot of land for the Kanto Raiders.

To put it bluntly, even if it is a group of unscrupulous wild dogs, after so many years of feeding a lot of benefits, they should be cooked.

Uesugi Kenshin wants to quarrel with Yoshihiro, is that a headache for Yoshihiro alone?Maybe it's Uesugi's vassals who are even more troubled. They are really full of food, so why are they willing to break up?

Seeing He Tian's long-term relatives sitting on pins and needles, Yiyin's mentality is getting better and better.

What he is most afraid of is that Uesugi Kenshin can suppress Uesugi's retainers, and Gan Tsuna will mess around arbitrarily.Judging by Kawada's appearance, Kenshin Uesugi obviously did not suppress the discussion at home, and many things were easier to handle.

Today, Yoshigin kissed Azukawada and brought a group of important ministers from the Shiba family to the banquet. He also tested her to see how the Omi faction, as the emerging force of the Uesugi family, would react to the status quo.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, seeing that the heat was almost ready, Yiyin asked seemingly casually.

"Kawada Hime, how is His Highness Uesugi? I haven't received a letter from her for some days. What is she up to?"

Elder Hetian didn't expect Yiyin to be thrust in with a straight ball. He was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it three times, he weighed it and said.

"Since the birth of your young Highness, Your Highness has seldom attended the Council. Most of the time, the vassals are responsible for deliberating and governing, and even the Shiba Oda War has not participated in person.

It is said that when His Royal Highness was born, he injured his body and recovered after resting for a year.

This winter, His Highness seems to be a little unwell, and it is very hard to take His Highness hand in hand. "

Yoshigin's face froze, he tested Kawada's elder brother, to see if he opposed the political break of the Echigo duo, and whether the attitude of Uesugi's retainers against Kenshin Uesugi's messing around was the mainstream.

Unexpectedly, Kawada's elder brother was so slippery, not only avoiding the important, but also lamenting that Uesugi Kenshin has worked hard to give birth to a child, and it is not easy to raise a child.
Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsumo under the Giginza had unnatural expressions on their faces.

Some people give birth, some raise them, and some love their calves. My old lady has been moxa for so many years, and she doesn't have a baby. People are more angry than others!
Yiyin didn't find out what was going on in a word, but he smelled vinegar under his nose, and coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed.

"His Highness Uesugi... I suffered."

After all, it was his own woman and child, and it would be a lie to say that Yiyin didn't care.One and two years later, the child is over one and a half years old, and Yiyin has never seen him before, so he is somewhat emotional at this time.

Kawada's elder brother is not a fool, she is an outsider, she can gain a firm foothold in the xenophobic Echigo Group, and she is naturally impeccable in her words.

Seeing that Yiyin was moved at this time, she struck while the iron was hot, and went out to bow down with a face of loyalty.

"The matter between the two lords should not be something that I, a subordinate, can peck at, but today the sage mentioned my lord, and the foreign minister dared to Meng Lang, and he had something to say. I implore the sage to forgive me."

Yi Yin sighed.

"You and I fought side by side back then, and we can be regarded as old comrades in arms back to back. There is nothing we can't say clearly, but it's okay to say it, and I don't blame it."

Kawada gritted his teeth, bowed and said.

"The sage returned to Kanto this time and rode along the Tōkaidō, and there was a lot of discussion in Echigo, all of which were worried that the status of the Uesugi family would not be guaranteed.

The Imagawa family really worshiped, and the peace of the Tokaido was hopeful. The Takeda family won the righteousness of Hitachi sending troops, and the Hojo family offered the land of Dongmuzang.

There are even more rumors that the sage deliberately moved the government office of the Great Review to Edo Castle, which is why the Hojo family will kill and clean up Ota Kosuke. "

Yamanaka Yukimori took the case to the police.

"Bold! Arrogant! How dare you utter nonsense in front of a saint with such groundless and unfounded accusations!"

Yiyin glanced at Xingsheng in the mountains and sighed.

"Hime Yamanaka, sit down for me, I told Hime Kawata to speak freely, who allowed you to interrupt her?
It may not be without reason. Hetian Ji is willing to speak frankly, and she is also loyal and passionate. How can she be arrogant? "

Yoshihiro knew in his heart that Tokugawa, Takeda, and Hojo San Francisco were not good enemies. These rumors were spreading everywhere in Kanto, and the three of them were inseparable.

The spring review is about to be held, and everyone is building momentum for themselves.

The Tokugawa family cannot enter the Grand Council, but since the Imagawa clan is going to return to the Suruga Kingdom, the guardian of Suruga will naturally enter the Grand Council of the Kanto Chamber and accept the leadership of the Shiba family.

The Tōkaidō peace plan is making a lot of noise. It seems to be creating momentum for the Imagawa family. In fact, it is Tokugawa Ieyasu who is hammering the nails, making sure that they will not repeat themselves in the future.

Takeda Shingen held a family reunion in the hot springs, and took advantage of Yiyin's soft-heartedness to get the righteousness of going to the Hitachi country. Naturally, he had to tell everyone that his wife was backed by a saint.

There was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the big review, and the Takeda family had just arrived, and if they didn't show some kindness, how could they make the bastards like Guan Bazhou feel jealous?

The mind of the Hojo family is even simpler. The Hojo clan is giving eye drops to Uesugi Kenshin.

Over the years of Uesugi Hojo's confrontation, the Uesugi family has relied on the support of the Shiba family to overwhelm the Hojo family.

Now that the Hojo clan climbed up to the saint's bed, he naturally had to find a way to tell the Guanbashu samurai family that the political status of the Hojo family was not weaker than that of the Uesugi family.

The Echigo Kingdom is remote, but it occupies the main political resources of the Kanto Office. Both the Grand Council and the Standing Council are located in the Echigo Kingdom. Naturally, the Uesugi family's No. [-] position in the Kanto Office is unshakable.

Therefore, building momentum for the relocation of the Kanto Office to Edo Castle is to weaken the foundation of the Uesugi family and attack the nominal No. [-] figure of Uesugi Kenshin.

Relocating the government office of the Guandong Servant to the Guandong Plain is in the interests of the Guanbazhou samurai family. Everyone likes this kind of rumor, and naturally the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes.

In addition, Ota Yasushi, a famous family, died like a desolate wild dog. In order to prevent the death of rabbits and foxes in the Tobuzangwu family, the Hojo family also needed a reasonable explanation to make everyone feel at ease.

The land of East Musashi was dedicated to the sage, and the sage wanted to move the government office of the Kanto Chamber to Edo Castle. The samurai family of Tobuzang would only be excited when they heard it. Who cares about this dead dog, Yasuko Ota?

There are calculations inside and out, Yiyin walked all the way forward, and the women behind him followed the calculations all the way, really never idle.

What can Yiyin say when his own woman calculates his own woman?Picking Coptis chinensis from the coptis tree is asking for hardship.

Originally, Uesugi Kenshin disrespected Yoshihiro and acted like he wanted to fight against him. He was disrespectful to the emperor and disrespectful to the saint. In the samurai society with strict etiquette and law, it was a serious arrogance and provocation.

However, Kawada first cried about the difficulty of Kenshin Uesugi before and after giving birth, and the hard work of taking care of the child because he was weak and sick.

When it comes to business, Uesugi Kenshin is naturally at a loss.But when playing the emotional card, Kenshin Uesugi's overreaction is understandable.

Kawada Changqin was the warrior Hime who followed Uesugi Kenshin back to Echigo and witnessed the whole process of Shiba Uesugi's cooperation with his own eyes.

She knows that Uesugi Kenshin has given Yoshiyin unreservedly, and she knows Yoshiyin's love, justice, soft heart and compassion.

Uesugi Kenshin really loves Yoshiyin, and Yoshiyin is not a ruthless person who eats noodles and throws the bottom of the bowl. The two parties really have feelings, and they have children!

Kawada's generous statement was just right, and it immediately won the game for Uesugi Kenshin. Even if these words were passed back to Echigo in the future, Uesugi Kenshin and Uesugi's retainers would also like it.

No one would think that Kawada Changqin was flattering outsiders behind his lord's back, everyone would just sigh, what is a loyal monarchy country, this is a loyal monarchy country, Kawada Changqin is really a loyal minister.

He Tian's elder brother's confession was two-faced, leaving only Yi Yin with a slightly embarrassed expression, and had nothing to say for a while.
