different warring states of japan

The departure of Yamanaka Yukimori provided Sanada Nobushige with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Sanada, who originally just wanted to take advantage of the corruption scandal that broke out in the Wujia Giri Promotion Association, has already made a lot of money.

Sanada Nobushige was ordered to do so at the critical moment, and was promoted by the Saint Fire Front to be the acting official of the Kanto Shisho. He went to Tomi Castle to take charge of the situation and appease the middle and lower Yuesibo forces.

Tongwei City, residence.

Although the lights had just come on at this time, the three people sitting there were already drunk, and they seemed to have a very close relationship while changing glasses.

Sanada Nobunaga glanced at Honjo Nobunaga and Kaji Keizuna in front of him, his calm eyes flashed past, and his eyes became blurred again.

She stuck her tongue out, patted her chest and said to Honjo Nogecho.

"My Lady, just go ahead and do it. If the Mogami family dares to do anything that crosses the line, you can fight back as long as you want. I will bear the responsibility."

Honzo Nogecho shook his wine glass and shook his head, as if he was not very drunk, but his eyes were gleaming, and he smiled.

"Isn't this bad? Last year, the saint gave me an order to reprimand me for rashly entering the village. I don't dare to do anything wrong.

Jiadiji was even worse. Not only was she ordered to retreat, she was also whipped and her face was lost. "

Kaji Kagetsuna on the side nodded and said seriously.

"This is no joke, Sanada-hime. If the saint is held accountable, we can't afford it."

Sanada Nobushige smiled proudly and said.

"At this moment, at that moment, last year the sage was about to return to Kinki. He was most taboo about greed for success and rash advancement, fearing that the place would be unstable.

Now, Yamanaka Yukiganda is absent, the Ou border is uneasy, and the Date Mogami family is ready to make a move. If they are not taught a lesson, the place will really be unstable.

Don't worry, I understand the thoughts of saints best. Disobeying orders is commonplace. As long as you are willing to listen to me, I will ensure that you are fine. "

Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna were shocked to hear this. Although the three of them were drinking behind closed doors and talking drunken words, it was indeed arrogant for Sanada Nobunaga to dare to say such awesome things.

The saint's prestige has grown over the years, and the Wu family usually wouldn't even dare to complain and slander him behind his back, let alone talk about it with a smile and play tricks on the bottom line.

Sanada Nobushige is indeed courageous, but seeing how much she has done and how she has risen through the ranks makes people jealous.

Since she has taken the initiative to win over more people and is willing to support everyone, then everyone might as well listen to her orders.

Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna secretly exchanged glances, both of them understanding each other's thoughts.

Yamanaka Yukimori didn't listen to the advice and left immediately, which made the two of them feel depressed. The guy walked away happily, leaving the two of them messy in the wind.

Without the saint's favored ministers as a background, how can the two little tricks of the Honjo Kaji family compete with the Uesugi family, the Mogami family, and the Date family, which have at least hundreds of thousands of koku?

Just when the two were at a loss what to do, Sanada Nobushige came to Echigo Kingdom, entered Tomo Castle with the sage's order, and called the two to drink.

At that time, the saint opened the Guandong Palace, and in order to win over the young and strong factions in Yangbei, he formed the Imperial Knights, a group of Ji warriors.

The royal family members have joined two waves of people. Honjo Shigenaga is the leader of the Yangbei Youth Faction, and Sanada Nobushige came here with a group of mountain people to have a meal, and the two sides have some friendship.

Soon after, the Sanada clan invaded Nishi Ueno without authorization and were kicked out of the imperial family. The Shinbada Rebellion broke out in Shimotsu, and the Yangboku clan was completely divided.

The two groups parted ways, each seeking development. When they meet again, Sanada Nobunaga has become the boss of Honjo Shigejo, which makes people wonder how fast this monkey climbed the mountain.

During this meeting, the two parties seemed to be drinking and chatting. In fact, the purpose was very clear, which was to test how they would get along with each other in the future workplace relationship.

The Sanada clan has always been active in the Koshinobu Mountains, and their influence does not extend beyond Nishi Ueno. This time they came to Echigo country to expand their sphere of influence. Although they have the order of the saint, they must unite their local colleagues.

Sanada Nobushige himself is a big military leader who has climbed up from the grassroots level, and he understands the thoughts of these small military leaders best.

It's easy to get their support. Give them benefits and support them. That's a good leader.

Infiltrating the Ou area is the strategic goal set by the saint. The departure of Yamanaka Yukimori does not mean that the Kanto Palace will end this strategy.

Mogami Yoshimitsu and Date Masamune were not fuel-efficient lamps.

Through their behind-the-scenes operations, they allowed the saint to curb the progress of Honjo Shigenaga and Kachi Kagetsuna in the Ou area, just because the Honjo and Kachi families acted too hastily, were too greedy, and had a bad influence.

Yamanaka Yukimori's ability was mediocre, and the sage said it was not advisable to act rashly, so she really suppressed Honzo Nogecho and Kaji Kagetsuna without making any move.

The two of them, Honjo Kachi, were naturally depressed, but Yamanaka Yukimori's background was so strong that they did not dare to complain too much and could only persuade and seduce him.

But now it's Sanada Nobushige, and the situation is different. This grandson got in by disobeying orders, and no one knows how to skirt around the edges better than her.

Being disobedient is a basic operation, and doing a few random things within the tolerance of the saint is normal performance.

What about raiding Nishi Ueno, Kinki going out to fight Oda without authorization, and doing things that others would never dare to think of, but Sanada Nobushige was reckless again and again.

Faced with the hesitation of Honjo and Kachi, Sanada Nobushige took charge.

"You can go ahead with peace of mind. Now is a troubled time, and what is needed most is to stabilize our position.

Whoever dares to provoke and test you without a long-sighted mind will be beaten back by me. The saint will not blame you. "

Honjo Shigejo narrowed his eyes.

"Your Highness Mogami, if Your Highness Date lodges a complaint in the Grand Council, or directly complains to the Sage, will we be very passive?"

Kaji Jingzuna nodded and agreed.

Sanada Nobushige picked up the wine glass, faced the two of them, and said solemnly.

"Even if they sue the King of Heaven, I will shoulder the responsibility. I am not Yamanaka Yukimori, and I will not let those grandchildren bleed and shed tears for my sisters in the trenches.

Each of you only needs to promise me one thing. If the sky falls, I, a tall man, will be able to hold it up. "

The two of them, Honjo Kachi, looked at each other, raised their wine glasses with both hands, and touched Sanada Nobushige's wine glass.

"Please show me, Sanada-sama."

The three drank it all in one gulp, temporarily reaching a tacit understanding between superiors and subordinates.

Sanada Nobushige laughed and said.

"My dear lady, you can do whatever you want in the village, but there is something I have to remind you.

The saint has promised Minato Sakata to His Highness Mogami. As long as you don't touch Minato Sakata and the surrounding territories, everything else will be fine.

Do you think it will work? "

Honzhuang Fanchang sighed in his heart.

The most valuable thing in the Shonai area is the port Sakata Minato. As a transit port connecting Niigatazu and Akita Minato, Sakata Minato's commercial value is very high.

But regrets are regrets. Sanada Nobunaga has already pointed out that this is the plan of the sage, and Honjo Mancho does not dare to tamper with him. The Shonai plain is considered a wealthy territory, and it is worthy of Honjo Mancho to fight for it.

Honjo Nogecho bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Sanada-sama, for the tip. I will not let you down."

Sanada Nobushige smiled and said to Kagetsuna Kachi on the side.

"His Royal Highness Date Masamune has never been a good person. If the Aizu samurai is ordered by her to cross the border to test, it's okay for you to beat him harshly, but remember not to cross Lake Inawashiro.

I thought that the Date family didn't dare to end it personally, they would only encourage Gonghuo. You should kill a lot of local idiots and don't weaken our prestige. If you don’t have enough manpower, send a letter to Changwei City and I will fully support you. "

Tsuna Kajikage nodded.

The last time she rushed into the Aizu Basin, the Hime Warriors under her command were so obsessed that they not only captured Shinmiya Castle and Kurokawa Castle, but also occupied Karuizawa Ginzan.

Because she was too greedy and aroused the anger of the local samurai family, Date Masamune took this complaint to the Kanto Palace for discussion, and she was whipped.

This time, Sanada Nobushige only said not to leave Inaashiro Lake, that is, to let Kaji Kagetsuna completely take over all the territory that was abandoned last time.

The four prefectures of Aizu wanted to divide the east and west with Lake Inawashiro. Sanada Nobushige tacitly agreed to add the landscape guide to bring the two prefectures west of Lake Inawashiro under his control. Even Honjo Nobunaga was a little jealous.

Kaji Jingzuna was overjoyed and bowed.

"I will not let you down."

After talking about business, the atmosphere in the room became more harmonious, and they exchanged glasses of wine until late at night. The two of them staggered away drunkenly. They stayed in the guest room for a night and were ready to go back and show off their talents.

After Sanada Nobushige waited for them to leave, he went to another room at the back of the room, where Miyoshi Seikai and Umino Riichi had been waiting for a long time.

She wiped her face with a cold towel, picked up the hot hangover soup on the brazier, and took a sip without fear of burning it to wake herself up quickly.

"These two guys have done it. They should support my work in entering Tomoi City, but I feel that they will not be in peace when they return."

Umino Riichi said coldly.

“Don’t feel it, they will definitely take the initiative to provoke and use this opportunity to expand their territory.

They take the benefits and we take the blame. We are reluctant to miss this great opportunity. They don’t have to mess around anymore and can go home to nurse their children. "

Sanada Nobushige touched his chin.

"Is it too much? If I really make a big mess, I'm afraid the saint will beat me to the bottom and I won't be able to find a way out even if I cry."

The departure of Yamanaka Yukimori was an unexpected surprise, and Sanada Nobushige was really worried about gains and losses, fearing that he would be pushed out of office before he could sit firmly.

It’s okay if you never got it, but it’s doubly uncomfortable to lose it again.

Miyoshi Qinghai shook his head.

"You are wrong. If the saint had other choices, he would never use this powerful medicine of yours.

In today's Kanto, everyone is in danger. Those who dare to say that they are innocent are probably marginalized forces with insufficient strength and ability, and saints are not safe to use them.

There is no one like you who is a direct descendant of Shiba who can relieve the Sage's worries. This is why the Sage promotes you from far away in Kinki.

Yamanaka Yukiganda values ​​​​love and justice, but her willfulness has indeed exposed a big flaw in Kanto, and the saint has no choice but to pull you to put out the fire.

We can't be sure now whether the Saint is planning to reuse you for a long time, or whether he is just temporarily using you to support you. "

Sanada Nobushige smiled bitterly.

"So I have to act fast?"

Umino Riichi said.

“The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the sincere minister.

Although the Mogami family and the Date family have joined the Kanto Chamber of Commerce and expressed their respect for the saint, the saint is actually not at ease with them.

Honjo Shigenaga and Kaji Kagetsuna coveted the wealthy area on the border of Ou, and they just used it to test the strength of the Mogami Date family.

And we also need the Ou border to be in chaos first, and then to calm it down, in order to reveal your value to the saint. "

Umino Riichi spoke frankly, and Sanada Nobushige and Miyoshi Kiyomi felt like they were in the clear mirror.

Although those who are good at fighting have no great reputation, if the border is really peaceful, how can the saint know whether it is you, Sanada Nobushige, who maintains it well, or whether it is good in the first place.

This is like a certain department of a large company suddenly changing its leadership, and even if nothing happens, it needs to create a new atmosphere.

Without these three things to do when a new official takes office, how would the upper management know that you, the new official, are capable? How can you secure your position if you don't prove your ability?

To put it bluntly, Sanada Nobushige is now trying to raise his own self-respect.

If Mogami Yoshimitsu and Date Masamune are obedient, do they still need Sanada Nobushige to take charge?

Therefore, they must perform small actions to prove that the saint is far-sighted, Sanada Nobushige took orders in the face of danger, and the leadership is of high quality.

Furthermore, Sanada Nobushige came to preside over the work instead of Yamanaka Yukimori, which also needed the support of Honjo Shigenaga and Kaji Keizuna.

Sanada Nobushige couldn't offer any benefits that would make the two of Honjo Kachi excited, so he could only divert trouble to the east.

Sanada Nobushige loosened the reins that Yamanaka Yukimori had been holding all the time, just in time to sell his favors and build relationships.

Among these old tribes that are prosperous in the mountains, only the Xia Yuezhong is easy to win over. The veterans of Toruo City, Sanada Nobushige really can't handle it.

The Toruo Clan under the command of Yukimori Yamazaka was formerly the first generation Doshin Clan formed by the young men of the old Iga clan.

Nobushige Sanada, the fourth generation Whampoa, came to command a group of senior ladies from the first phase of Whampoa, and his seniority was a threat to people's lives, which really made his heart numb.

But no matter what, Sanada Nobushige will fight hard to fill the power vacuum left by Yamanaka Yukimori.

Umino Riichi and Miyoshi Seikai followed to Toroo Castle, which was the determination of the Sanada people.

The saint has returned to Kanto, and the chaos in Kanto may subside at any time. The Sanada people have been planning for so long and finally picked the biggest fruit. How can they let it go easily.

Sanada Nobunshige shook the hangover soup in his hand, took another sip, and asked.

"What did Sasuke say?"

Umino Riichi replied.

"Her reply has arrived. Let us rest assured that she will guarantee with her life that Naoyoshi Hanzawa will never reveal any details about us."

Sanada Nobushige frowned.

"What did this guy say? How does it sound resentful?"

Miyoshi Qinghai sighed.

"Ban Ze is upright and a loyal man."

Miyoshi Qinghai has experienced the whole process of the split of the Miyoshi family, from prosperity to decline, and has great admiration and admiration for Naoyoshi Hanzawa's behavior for the sake of justice and loyalty regardless of himself.

Although everyone is their own master, loyal and righteous people can always gain the favor of others.

Sanada Nobunaga touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

"We have become clowns on the stage. Oh, forget it. As long as Hanzawa Naoyi keeps her mouth shut, we owe her a big favor and we will pay her back in the future."

Umino Riichi glanced at Sanada Nobushige and asked coldly.

"Do you think she still has a chance to survive?"

Sanada Nobunaga was choked up and speechless.
