Chapter 2038: The Tiger with its Belly Revealed

Uesugi Kenshin looked at Takeda Shingen and said coldly.

"You came all the way to Guansu City just to show off? What do you want to do?"

Kenshin Uesugi has a hot temper, but he is not a fool.

Although she looked down on Takeda Shingen, a master of strategy who liked to use tricks and didn't dare to fight head-on on the battlefield, she was still very afraid of Takeda Shingen in her heart.

Takeda Shingen came to Sekijuku Castle to reveal his true colors, leaving Uesugi Kenshin unsure of what he was thinking.

This old bitch who always looks three steps ahead and always takes advantage and never suffers any loss, what on earth is she doing here?

Takeda Shingen smiled slightly and continued speaking to himself.

“Ii Naomasa has even released the small details of the ban on uterine burials, which shows that the relevant policies for the reform have basically been clearly stated.

Among them, the biggest political change related to Kanto was the reorganization of the Kyoto Shogunate and the Kanto Samurai-sho.

The Kanto Samurai-sho Grand Council System will be expanded to Kinki, but the Standing Council will be abolished, and the three standing council members and three non-executive council members will all step down.

From then on, the united front generals from all over the country represented the military families from all over the world and discussed and voted on major issues in the world in the grand deliberation.

The specific implementation will be carried out by the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, which is led by the Doshin Secretariat, and various magistrates including the Sakai Port Customs Office, the Kanto Bugyosho, the Monjuho, and the Renseishu.

The daimyo who owns the samurai territories can only participate in the grand deliberation and formulate major policies as a united front.

The real power to manage the world will be in the hands of the Tongxin Secretariat, which will be managed by the increasingly bloated group of practitioners from all parties.

When the world is unified in the future, no matter how big the Wu family's territory is, it will be useless. The management of the world's affairs will probably be taken over by the Fengxing people."

After Takeda Shingen finished speaking, Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ujimasa were both silent.

The three powerful vassals all have think tanks in their homes, and the new policies of the Tongxin Secretariat on restructuring and reform have been thoroughly studied and researched.

As for the future political strategy of the Sōka world, to put it simply, a high position means little power, while a low position means great power.

No matter how high the land holdings are or how powerful the family business is, military families from all over the country can only express their political opinions on the platform of Grand Review.

Even if you always participate attentively in the grand deliberations held by the central government and participate in politics on behalf of the world's military families, in the final analysis it is still just raising your hands and clapping.

The topic had already been finalized in a secret meeting among the leaders of all parties, and the vast majority of the United Front workers were just joining in the fun, actively applauding and truly supporting the leadership of the Sōma family.

This routine has been implemented in the Kanto Samurai Office for several years, and everyone is used to it.

Now the saint thinks it is a good idea and is preparing to promote it throughout the country. As long as the local military families are truly submissive to the Sasaki family, they can apply to the Grand Council for the status of United Front Workers and participate in it.

Then there is a big meeting every four years and two small meetings every year. Everyone sits in a row, eats fruit, and is united in the big discussion, always following the saint.

However, the standing council system, which once served as a means of sharing actual power, has been abolished.

The six persons, including three permanent directors and three non-permanent directors, jointly implement the resolutions and policies of the Grand Council and manage daily affairs.

Among them, three permanent directors are the direct descendants of the saint, originally Amago Yukimori, Shima Katsutake, and Okuma Asahide, and later when Amago Yukimori returned to Kinki, Sanada Nobuharu took over. These three permanent directors do not need to be elected, and the permanent members do not leave their posts. The three of them can unanimously exercise the veto power and reject any policy they feel is not conducive to unity.

The other three non-permanent directors were produced through bargaining among the Kanto samurai, and they shared the power to govern Kanto.

Now, the sage is not even going to leave this little loophole for sharing power, leaving only nominal legislative power to the Grand Council.

The specific administrative power to manage the country was taken away by the departmental executives led by the Tongxin Secretariat.

The large number of united front groups and their noisy discussions will ultimately only become mouthpieces for the saint's will and will not give rise to any real political consciousness against the saint.

The various departments that have continuously expanded their management functions over the years have finally obtained the management rights of system certification, and can now perform their duties in various places with justification.

By doing this, the lowly followers would gain management power and put the powerful high-ranking warriors in a cage.

It is difficult for the high-ranking martial artists to say anything, because they are all members of the United Front, the policies are passed by them in the grand deliberation, they handed over the power themselves, and they deserve to be controlled.

This is to restrict the powerful military families in various places through a set of political systems. The ones who suffer the most in this process are the powerful military daimyo in various places.

Just imagine, a samurai daimyo with a territory of 100,000 koku would be sanctioned by a magistrate whose salary might be less than 100 koku in the name of the power granted by the Grand Council. How ridiculous is that.

Powerful clans with a net worth of millions of koku, such as the Uesugi, Takeda, and Hojo, were also composed of powerful military families with countless retainers and vassals.

The magistrates did not dare to yell at Kenshin Uesugi, the mother of the descendants of gods, but if they dared to exercise management power over the samurai under Uesugi's command, it would greatly weaken Kenshin Uesugi's ruling power.

This was also one of the topics that Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Ujimasa wanted to discuss when they met today, but Takeda Shingen broke the window paper first.

At this time, Uesugi Kenshin calmed down and watched Takeda Shingen's performance silently.

This Tiger of Kai first revealed the information advantage of the Doshinshu, and then mentioned the saint's goal of centralizing power through the Grand Council System. He already talked too much.

For some things, it is one thing for everyone to know them in their hearts, but it is another thing to say them openly.

This is what is meant by the saying "Misfortune comes from the mouth".

Takeda Shingen is such a smart man, but his behavior today was so abnormal, so abnormal that Uesugi Kenshin even had a hint of expectation.

Uesugi Kenshin vaguely felt that the tigress Takeda Shingen was lying on the ground, exposing her most vulnerable abdomen to him.

  Animals make this gesture to show that they are not threatening and are truly submitting, but what about humans?

The Uesugi and Takeda families have been competing for more than ten years, from open fights to covert fights. Is today the day for the Takeda family to completely surrender?

Kenshin Uesugi couldn't believe that such a dream had come true, but Takeda Shingen's abnormality made her look forward to it. It was a very complicated feeling.

Just as she was expecting it, Takeda Shingen suddenly changed the subject and said.

“By the way, the Saint has also ordered that all descendants of God must be sent to his side when they are five years old, and be arranged by the Tongxin Secretariat to join the Blue Clothes Group to receive education.

If I remember correctly, Uesugi's little Miyuki will be five years old this spring, right?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin's face changed drastically. Although she didn't know why Takeda Shingen mentioned his daughter, a mother's love is boundless, and her love for her child made her subconsciously turn from joy to anger, and she said angrily.

"Takeda Shingen! What on earth do you mean today!?"
