Chapter 1958 Three powerful vassals and two important ministers

Sanada Nobushige asked.

"Has Dazang Changan contacted you?"

Umino Ri shook his head and said.

"This is not."

Sanada Nobushige said angrily.

"What's wrong? Does she think that I, Sanada Nobushige, don't have enough power, or is she worried that I, Sanada, won't be able to pay for it?"

She knew how to plan around Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo, so she didn't take me seriously? "

Umino Tori sighed.

“You don’t have to be too excited, it’s understandable that Dazang Changan is wary.

I just led people to conduct a thorough investigation of the Wu Jiayi Li Promotion Association. She was a little frightened. Now that she had to face me, her legs were probably still a little weak. "

Only then did Sanada Nobushige react and laughed.

"Your reputation as a cold-faced judge has spread throughout Guandong, and no one knows about it.

If I were in Dazang Chang'an, I would have some scruples, but her hesitation made it difficult for me. Do we still need to go to her in person to ask for it? "

Umino Riichi sneered.

“If we really want to come to ask for favors, don’t we still owe her a favor?

Dazang Changan is a sensible person. She is eager to seek money now, so she naturally thinks that she can do everything well so as not to offend us.

Although the saint held a high position and downplayed the scandalous things about the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association, if she really pissed me off, the evidence in my hand couldn't be left to grow moldy, right?

Don’t worry, she won’t ignore this and will definitely come to ask for advice. Leave this matter to me and Master Chinghai, and the Sanada people will not suffer any loss. "

Sanada Nobushige nodded and smiled happily.

Who wouldn't be happy to make money, let alone this kind of windfall that is sure to make money without losing money.

As Umino Riichi said, Ozo Changan cannot afford to offend the Sanada people. The saint's call to stop does not mean that the Sanada people are easy to bully. If Sanada Nobunaga's wild nature is stirred up, Ozo Changan will definitely have a hard time.

Dazang Changan was able to climb to where she is today because she has a very good mind. She knows who she can offend and who she cannot offend. She has a clear mind and will not get dizzy.

In the Saint's layout, the political core of Kanto relied on the three powerful vassals and the two ministers to maintain the rule of the Shiba family.

The Ou area was bitterly cold and remote. Although the local daimyo like Date Mochi was troubled, it was only a scabies disease and could not shake the foundation of the Shiba family's rule in Kanto.

The focus of the Shiba family's rule in Kanto is Koshinobu, Echigo, and Kanhachishu.

The Koshin region, especially Shinano Province, is said to be connected in all directions, occupying the mountains and coveting all directions, and is a strategic location that military strategists must compete for.

Echigo was rich and powerful, and the samurai family was powerful. They suppressed Ou in the east, visited Hokuriku in the west, and went to the eight states in the south. This was the starting point and the old foundation for the Shiba family to make a fortune in Kanto.

The most important thing is the eight states of Guanzhou. The Guandong Plain is the largest plain in the island country and the birthplace of the Wu family regime. Whether it is political value, military value or economic value, it is unique to Guandong.

Today, the three powerful vassals each guard a part of Kanto.

Kenshin Uesugi encompassed most of the Shikoku areas of Echigo, Etchu, Ueno, and Shimono.

Takeda Shingen held most of the Three Kingdoms of Kai, Shinano, and Hitachi.

The Hojo clan occupied parts of the five kingdoms of Izu, Sagami, Musashi, Shimotsou, and Kamisou. All three of them have given birth to kami, and the three families have become part of the Shiba kami group. They are the three cornerstones of the Shiba regime in maintaining the rule of Kanto.

As for the two important ministers, Shima Shengmu and Yamazaka Yukimori were responsible for balancing the power of the three powerful vassals.

After Yamanaka Yukimori resolutely returned to Kinki, inherited the Niko family, and changed her name to Niko Yukimori, Sanada Nobushige has now taken her place.

Shimakatsu Takeo, as the acting official of Shiba Territory in Kanto, controlled the lands of Shimono Daihu Territory and Higashi Musashi.

Coupled with the Yura family and other powerful samurai families in Kanhachishu who were close to Shiba, the territory controlled by Shima Katsuo became the de facto buffer zone and dividing line between the three powerful feudal clans.

With Shima Katsuru in charge of Edo Castle, there is no possibility of direct conflict between the three powerful clans, because the boundary between the three is watched by Shima Katsuru.

The saint's intention of placing Dao Shengmeng and Guandong Shibo leader here was understood by Dao Shengmeng, and the three powerful vassals also understood that no one would deliberately stir up trouble and break the tacit understanding between each other.

The Nishi Ueno land controlled by Sanada Nobushige was the access channel between the Koshin Mountains and Sekiyashishu.

In addition, the Honjo clan and Kachi clan under her control in Shimotsu, encroaching on Aizu and Shonai in the Ou region, actually became the dividing line between the Ou region and the Kanhachishu region.

With one end blocking Koshinobu and the other eroding Ou, Sanada Nobushige's position is quite delicate.

The geographical characteristics of Sanada's related territory are roughly equivalent to Shanxi in the Celestial Dynasty, and even affect Juyongguan through the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains.

By analogy with the connection between the Guanzhong Plain, the North China Plain, and the Northeast Plain, the political and military value of the Taihang Mountains that she controls is divided into regional blocks.

Sanada Nobushige actually monopolized the channels through which Konobu and Ou radiated to the core area of ​​Kanto. Coupled with her status as the acting official of the Kanto Imperial Palace, her political stance was condescending.

Shima Katsuruo and Sanada Nobushige were one inside and one outside, dividing the borders between the three powerful clans and Kanto, and maintaining the balance and stability of the three powerful clans.

These five people all have children of saints and are descendants of Shiba. They also form the core of the Shiba family's rule in Kanto.

Despite the quarrels made by the Kanto warrior family on the political platform of the Kanto Imperial Palace Review, the Shiba family really didn't care what the fuss was about.

Because Shiba Yoshigan has established preliminary rule over the Kanto region through the three powerful vassals and two important ministers, he only needs time to slowly sort out and deepen it, and transform Kanto into what the Shiba family needs.

Shiba Yiyin asked Dazang Changan to negotiate with the powerful Kanto vassals to raise funds to bail out the market. Although he did not say anything explicitly, the benefits would not go to outsiders, and most of the benefits would definitely be reserved for the two important officials of the three powerful vassals.

Umino Tori was not worried that Ozo Changan had lost his mind and dared to ignore the existence of the Sanada people. This was a huge political mistake that could ruin Ozo Changan's future and even his life.

Dazang Changan suffered a setback at the Wu Jiayi Li Promotion Association and deliberately planned to make a comeback. He would definitely seize the opportunity given by the saint and would never commit such stupidity.

Seeing that Umino Riichi was confident, Sanada Nobushige was naturally willing to continue being her hands-on shopkeeper and said with a smile.

"With you and Master Qinghai watching, Dazang Chang'an will naturally not be able to make any waves.

By the way, I'm in a bit of a dilemma about something, please help me with some advice. "

Umino Riichi looked warily at Sanada Nobushige, who was scratching his head, and said coldly.

"You stay here honestly, stay with Sanada Rin, and don't use any crooked ideas."

Sanada Nobushige said out of breath.

"I'm not talking about going out to play, it's my mother. My mother wrote to me to ask if I was okay and wanted to come and visit me."

Sanada Nobunari spoke eloquently, Umino squinted his eyes to listen, and finally understood what was causing Sanada Nobunaga's headache.

It all seems to be a family matter of the Sanada family. Just because Sanada Nobunaga is doing so well, this wild monkey who decided to leave the family back then is now causing great embarrassment to the family.
