different warring states of japan

Every society has its own temperament and background. Some are free and casual, some are cautious and serious, and some are repressed and cruel.

The world of the Wu family is a repressive society with no room for error. Because the island country has a lack of resources per capita, a Ji warrior has been involved in crazy competition since birth.

Studying literature and martial arts, becoming an official, getting married, having a daughter, and continuing the family business. You cannot make mistakes in every aspect. Often, if you make the wrong choice, your class may fall.

In the orderly and hierarchical martial society, falling down the hierarchy means that you and your descendants may never have the chance to climb up again.

Therefore, step-by-step is everyone's default rule of the game. There are too few martial artists who are qualified to do their jobs. The entire social atmosphere tends to be conservative and it is difficult to innovate.

This is because in the Wu family society, the price of being extraordinary is too high, and few people are qualified to bear it.

Sibo Yiyin is obviously a new era citizen who has received modern education and has comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills.

But in the Wu family society, he has to behave with his tail between his legs, and his words and deeds must conform to the rules of the Wu family society in order to integrate into survival.

But even so, this Teddy who had blended into the wolf pack still couldn't hide his own characteristics, and was often regarded as an alien.

Uesugi Kenshin is a traditional Hime warrior. As long as he negotiates with her according to tradition, he can naturally let her go.

After all, lunatics like Oda Nobunaga who dare to subvert the rules of the game are the only super aliens in samurai society.

Strange things happen in troubled times, and the samurai society not only produces teddy aliens like Yoshigan, but also true tigers like Oda Nobunaga, who are arrogant and arrogant.

In order to develop the family business, the governors of other families only dare to go out of their way and make some slight innovations. Once their strength increases and the situation is safe, their policies will become more conservative and return to the values ​​​​of the Wu family society.

But Oda Nobunaga dared to collect the innovative policies of various families, select the best ones, and use them all in the Oda family's territory.

In a hundred years of chaos, countless samurai families struggled to survive, and naturally many innovative policies were introduced that were truly beneficial to enhancing their strength. The Oda family naturally developed rapidly with these top-notch innovative policies.

But beneficial and harmful are two sides of the same coin. On the other hand, when the governor increases his strength, the interests of the retainers group are greatly damaged.

There is only so much output in the territory, and the governor takes more away through innovative policies. From the land and servants in the territory, the people of the territory naturally get less.

This is also the real reason why Akechi Mitsuhide has been desperately fanning the flames and trying every means to help Oda Nobunaga expand rapidly.

The foundation of the Oda family is unstable. The faster the expansion, the sooner the point of collapse will come.

Does Oda Nobunaga understand this?Of course she understands.

As the most unusual person in the samurai family throughout the ages, Oda Nobunaga has never been afraid of challenges. If he wants to accomplish great things that ordinary people cannot accomplish, he naturally has to take risks that ordinary people dare not take.

He suppressed the retainers forcefully, drove the eagles and dogs to conquer the world, centralized power with an iron fist, and single-handedly controlled everyone.

Oda Nobunaga was confident that he could control the overall situation, and that he could resolve internal problems in his lifetime and become an eternal figure in the island country.

Compared with her, a real tiger, Shiba Yiyin is really a teddy. Apart from having sex, he has not dared to do anything really extraordinary in these years.

The most avant-garde ancient people and the most conservative modern people are in the same era, and their positions are completely opposite. If there is a pair of eyes in the air to see the overall situation, I really don't know who is the time traveler.

Just because Oda Nobunaga's subversive avant-garde was unparalleled, Maeda Toshiie and Akechi Mitsuhide were both confident that Uesugi Kenshin would definitely give in.

Because Uesugi Kenshin is very traditional, she did something extraordinary this time and started an undeclared war against the Oda family, which left Shibata Katsuie full of teeth.

In fact, this move will not bring much benefit to Uesugi Kenshin, but will cause her a lot of trouble.

Because the island country is a conservative society that is accustomed to reading the air, leaving aside lunatics like Oda Nobunaga, big bosses like Uesugi Kenshin cannot act recklessly and casually.

The ruling class is a class with its own traditions, culture, and values. If you cannot conform to it, you will not be recognized by the ruling class and will be constrained by repercussions everywhere.

Therefore, there are only individuals who betray the class, but there is no class that betrays the class.

Oda Nobunaga was definitely an anti-traditional outlier, but Uesugi Kenshin did not dare to be so out of line.

This is why Maeda Toshiie had the courage to go to Uesugi Kenshin's main camp alone as soon as he received the authorization letter from Akechi Mitsuhide and negotiate with the Uesugi coalition forces alone.

---

Echizen and Kaga were originally one country. After the establishment of Kaga Kingdom in the ninth century, they were divided into four Kaga counties.

The Komatsu area is located in the Minami Kaga Plain and is the core area of ​​Nomi County, one of the four counties.

Since the loss of the Daishoji River area, a new city has been built in the Komatsu area as a frontline stronghold against Echizen.

This time Uesugi Kenshin raided Kaga, Shibata Katsuie was defeated by Tetori River, fled back to Daishoji Castle to gather the remaining soldiers, and refused to retreat.

After Uesugi Kenshin's successful raid, the dry food brought by the cavalry was basically exhausted, so he retreated to join the army, and continued southward with more than [-] troops, stationed in Komatsu Castle.

Komatsu Castle is only 38 miles away from Daishoji Castle. It can be said that all the Kaga territory captured by Shibata Katsuie in the spring attack has been lost.

In the past few days while Maeda Toshiie was waiting for the authorization letter from Mitsuhide Akechi, there were actually disagreements and constant disputes within the Uesugi coalition.

Opinions within the coalition are mainly divided into three factions.

One is the samurai families of Vietnam, China and Noto, who have no good impressions of Ichikui.

This time they dispatched troops, mainly to cater to Uesugi Kenshin, cut off Oda Nobunaga's evil hands on Vietnam, China and Noto, and protect the huge commercial interests with Nanao Port as the core.

Secondly, there are two temple leaders from the Yixiang Sect in Yuezhong. They participated in the war because of their survival and death.

Oda Nobunaga went to Shu, and was not satisfied with killing the Kaga Ichiko clan of the eighth generation orthodoxy. He also wanted to conquer the Ezhong Ichiko clan of the fifth generation orthodoxy on the pretext of destroying the Ichiko clan.

If the Kagami Ikki clan is destroyed, he will be the one to die next. The Etsuchu Ich clan will naturally support the Kaga clan in front.

Although there were differences in the orthodoxy of the Five and Eight Dynasties, under the threat of foreign enemies, the two sides had to stick together for warmth.

Thirdly, Kaga, led by Nanari Yorishu, has always warned that they had a narrow escape this time.

Originally, Shibata Katsuie surrounded Oyama and attacked Kanazawa Obo. Shibata Noraishu was already heartbroken. Who knew there would be rain from the sky?

Who would have thought that Uesugi Kenshin would not give Oda Nobunaga face, so he rushed up and slapped him in the face.

Nowadays, the war situation in Kaga is no longer dominated by Kaga, headed by Nanari Yorishu, but the two Oda and Uesugi families are wrestling with each other.

The demands of these three parties are different and even incompatible.The samurai families of Vietnam and China hoped that the Oda family would not invade Nanao Port and ensure that the interests of the samurai families of the two countries were not harmed.

The two temples of the Yuezhong and Ixiang sects hope that the Oda family can clearly distinguish the difference between the Ixiang sect and ensure that the safety of the two temples in Yue and China is not threatened.

Kaga Ichimune hoped that the Uesugi coalition would continue their efforts and that after this battle, the Oda family would stop provoking wars in Hokurikudo and live in peace.

Based on the ideas of these three parties, Uesugi Kenshin used the fist-bumping angle between divine descendants to warn Oda Nobunaga that in the future, he must know how to respect the Uesugi family in the Shiba theocratic system.

It can be said that before Maeda Toshiie went on an envoy, there was already a quarrel within the Uesugi coalition, so when she arrived at Komatsu Castle, she quickly saw the clues.

Maeda Toshiie is Owari Shiba's acting official and an important minister in charge of one of the three major territories of the Shiba family.

Although the Owari Shiba Territory has the smallest territory and the smallest area among the three Shiba Territories, it does include the ancestral land of the Shiba clan.

Maeda Toshiie was one of the first batch of ministers to follow Yoshihiro Shiba and had a high political status.

Therefore, even though the two sides of Oda and Uesugi were at war with each other at this time, Maeda Toshiie still received the respect he deserved when he came to Komatsu Castle.

The long-time divine protector went out to battle despite being ill. He was too weak to go out to greet him.Uesugi Kenshin sent Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna to greet him, and a group of high-ranking samurai stars held the moon in honor, which gave Maeda Toshiya face.

Just entering the city, Maeda Toshiie looked around and asked.

"I remember that Komatsu Castle is an important town of the Kaga Ichika clan. Why didn't I see any soldiers from the Ichikuzu along the way?"

Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna was stunned. He didn't expect Maeda Toshiie to suddenly ask about such an insignificant matter.

On the contrary, it was Chang Lianlong behind her who answered casually.

"His Royal Highness Uesugi, who has always had ulterior motives, went deep into Kaga and stationed at Komatsu. Along the way, we put our own people on guard to maintain logistics.

The members of the Kaga Ixiang Sect were also expelled. Even the Yuezhong Ixiang Sect was not allowed to intervene and was only responsible for filling the military supply gap. "

Maeda Toshie nodded.

"Always Yikui is indeed cunning and must be guarded against."

Seeing Maeda Toshiie's approval, Chang Lianlong became even more interested and interjected again.

"Isn't that right? Kaga Tuni is not satisfied with just escaping from death. He comes to make requests from time to time, which is very annoying.

That means they are still needed now, otherwise. . "

Nagaren Ryuu went too far and did not regard the Maeda Toshi family as outsiders. Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted.

"That's enough! Say less!"

Chang Lianlong pretended to be honest, bowed and stepped back. Maeda Toshiie looked at her carefully, nodded slightly and smiled.

Although Chang Lianlong looks honest, he is actually cunning in combat and is a general in the Noto Kingdom.

When Ezhong went into battle, she behaved well in front of Shiba Yi Ginza. Today, she is too talkative, and she also behaves well to Maeda Toshi's family.

Although Noto country is small, the warriors are not stupid.

Regardless of whether it is the Oda family or the Uesugi family, in the final analysis, it still depends on the face of the Shiba family.

That day at the Tatekawa River, the Echizen Oda army was defeated and fled. When all the Hime warriors saw the Shiba family's emblem, they stopped moving forward and did not even dare to take the military glory.

If there really is any fool who is so eager to take down the banner of the Shiba family, it is hard to say whether the merits will be calculated after this battle.

Even murder and arson cannot stop people from doing things that make a lot of money.But how many fools are willing to rush forward when there is no good in doing something that is taboo?

Maeda Toshiie ran from the Oda camp to the Uesugi camp. This was also the reason why both sides treated each other with courtesy. Everyone was very concerned about the saint's attitude, so naturally they had to be respectful to the saint's representative.

In just a few words, Chang Lianlong sent a favor.Anyway, the Uesugi Alliance is already full of contradictions, and a casual mistake is nothing. This favor is not given in vain.

Although Maeda Toshiie does not yet know the details of the conflicts within the Uesugi coalition, she already understands that the samurai families of the two countries, Vietnam and China, and Noto, who have always hated each other, are not of the same mind, and that is enough.

As a group of people entered the residence hall, the atmosphere in the room changed again.

Perhaps he wanted to give Maeda Toshiie a show of strength, but Uesugi Kenshin sat motionless in the main seat, looking down at Maeda Toshiie who entered the room, as if he had placed himself in a position like a master.

It stands to reason that she is the leader of Kantō, the number two figure in the old Kantō system, and one of the three powerful clans of the Kantō shrine. She gave birth to an heir to Shiba Yoshigan.

It's not unacceptable for her to show off in front of Shiba's retainers and pave the way for negotiations after being strong, it's just a matter of negotiation skills.

But Uesugi Kenshin found the wrong person this time, but Maeda Toshiie didn't like her.

Maeda Toshiie is good at dancing and being kind to others in Oda. This is a requirement of his work. In order to accumulate chips and reflect his value to Shiba Yiyin, he has to do it.

In fact, her character is not that of a good person. When she was young, she was bohemian and a rebellious young man who could be considered a lover. She had the same aspirations as Maeda Yoshiki and lived together in the same room.

Shiba Yoshigan was humiliated by Juami. Maeda Toshiie directly killed this little surname favored by Oda Nobunaga, which shows his character background.

In these years, Maeda Toshiie has been working hard in the Oda family, playing both sides, and restraining his edges. Many people have forgotten the irritable young man who had a bad temper and made trouble.

But today, Kenshin Uesugi made a show of force, which only lit up Maeda Toshiie's hot background.

Speaking of which, Maeda Toshiie, Oda Nobunaga and Shimakatsu Takeshi are women of the same age group. The fertility anxiety of Oda Nobunaga and Shimakatsu Takeshi also exists in Maeda Toshiie's heart.

Dao Shengmeng is now pregnant and everything is ready, and his temper is getting better and better.

Oda Nobunaga was so impatient that he was even willing to endure Tetori River's slap in the face in exchange for the opportunity for Shiba Yoshigan to go to Azuchi Castle Wormwood.

And what about Maeda Toshiie?She greeted everyone at Oda's house with a smile, but the pent-up anxiety in her heart had no way to vent and had already piled up.

Seeing Uesugi Kenshin looking down at him like a hostess, he remembered that the arrogant woman in front of him dared to show off to him because he gave birth to a daughter for the saint.

A spark suddenly appeared on the pile of dry wood in Maeda Toshiie's heart.

If she, Maeda Toshiie, was soft on Ken Uesugi today, what kind of woman would she be!
