different warring states of japan

Chapter 681

Naoejin began to make peace with the two lords' money and food.

In the government hall of the Imperial Palace, the two lords, who had eased off overnight, discussed a new crisis again.

Uesugi Terutora said.

"In the spring and summer of next year, we may need you and me to work separately to calm down the dilemma between the East and the West."

Yiyin nodded in agreement.

Japan is barren, and the samurai cannot afford the high cost of war, so they need to consciously reduce the intensity and pay less.

The most cost-effective way is to send troops after spring plowing and autumn harvest.Village women who are not working in the field are used to form farmers and soldiers, and they bring their own dry food to transport the iron weight, so as to reduce the consumption of the army.

The second is to send troops after the summer harvest, which will be more embarrassing at this time.Because the time between summer harvest and autumn harvest is not long, once the war is delayed, the morale of the army will be disturbed.

Harvesting rice in autumn is the most important event of the year, and any business must make way for it.

The backbone of the army is the samurai family. There is no problem with the transportation of farmers and soldiers from each family, but it cannot affect the harvest of farmers and soldiers when they go home.

At the beginning, Miyoshi Changqing dispatched troops to choose the summer harvest season. They used the money and food accumulated over the years to delay the time, which almost caused the ministers to defect and the general to dismount.

If it weren't for Shiba Yoshigin's sudden birth, Miyoshi Changqing would most likely have gotten his wish, controlling the shogunate as a supervisor and taking over the general Ashikaga Yoshiki.

In addition to spring plowing, summer harvest, and autumn harvest, troops are also sent to fight.But no matter how crazy the samurai is, they will not use farmers and soldiers, and will only choose a few elites who are out of production.

Back then when Chief Jinbo ambushed Terutora Uesugi to return home, he used a small number of out-of-production troops directly under the reserve team and various local families.

This time, there is a crisis on the east and west sides of Echigo, and the two will complete the suppression between spring and summer.The best time to play is after the spring plowing next year, so this opportunity cannot be missed.

This not only requires a smooth battle, but also requires the allocation of time for the battle.See if you want to divide your forces to save time.

Yi Yin said.

"We are now only relying on two military reports, with insufficient information, it is difficult to make a decision. My idea is to find out the situation first, and then make a strategy.

About Noto, Vietnam and China.

On the one hand, send people to Noto country.To find out the ins and outs of Hatakeyama Yoshizuna's expulsion, we can't listen to her completely.

On the other hand, go to the post of Shenbao Chief to understand her specific thoughts.

Although Yoshizuna Hatakeyama sent the appeal letter from her, she should support our dispatch of troops.

But this still requires a positive answer from her, whether she can accept the Echigo army entering Etsu China to quell the Noto Rebellion.

At the beginning, we promised to be Chief Jimbo, and Echigo would not interfere in the affairs of Vietnam and China. Only then did we reach a consensus and form a covenant.

Now, even if she has no choice but to send troops, she needs to confirm repeatedly, and must get her understanding.

Otherwise, we will break the contract and lose our morals. "

Uesugi Terutora nodded in agreement.

"I will send Xuanyuan Shinobi to Noto to investigate, and find out the details of the internal turmoil in the Noto Hatakeyama family as soon as possible.

It is up to you to write to inquire about the post of Shenbao Chief. She doesn't trust me, but she still respects you very much.

You tell him that my transit over Echuchu this time is only to solve the matter of Nanao Port on the Hokuriku Road, and I don't have any thoughts about the land of Etsuchu.

An accident happened at Nanao Port, and Jinbaochang was the most anxious person.Without the low-priced goods from Nanao Port, with her little capital, how can she conquer the Shiina family while guarding against the Etchu Issouzu?

I believe she will not refuse our help, but will actively cooperate and provide convenience. "

Yiyin nodded in agreement, and then talked about Yang Beizhong's side.

"I want to go to Tochio Castle once and have a good talk with Shigeru Honjo.

The Xinfatian Rebellion was an attempt to force foreign vassals to confront us, and it was up for grabs.If Shinbata Nagaton is not crazy, he should know that she is definitely not our opponent.

There is still room for discussion between us and her.

But for Fanchang Honzhuang, it was a catastrophe.Once the chaos in Xinfatian festers, the family will be wiped out.

She betrayed the Yangbeizhong Group, and now she is under my protection in order to maintain her family's dignity.

There are not a few people in Yangbei who have malicious intentions towards her. If we fail to suppress Xia Yue in time and the two sides compromise, the banker will inevitably become a victim.

Benzhuang Fanchang is very smart, she will never let the situation collapse like that, and will definitely assist in countering the rebellion with all her strength. "

Uesugi Terutora sneered.

"Of course. She has come this far, how can she turn back?"

Yi Yin said.

"I went to Tochio Castle to meet Shigeru Honjo and ask her what she thinks.

She understands the internal situation of Yang Beizhong better than us, and she is both wise and brave. I hope she can give me some good advice to quickly counter the rebellion.

The Xinfatian Rebellion this time may be an excellent opportunity to completely solve the problem of repeated troubles among the Yangbei people.

The tax rebate for the second lord has been issued, and the anger of the Xiayue samurai family will soon subside.You and I have never lost a battle. Are the Yangbei people really not afraid of being severely punished if the rebellion fails?
Honjo Shigeru must not turn back. Can you guarantee that the Yangbei people who are close to the Uesugi family will support us in suppressing the rebellion? "

Uesugi Terutora thought for a while and said.

"Should be no problem.

Fujiko Nakajo and Katsunaga Irobe have been with my family for two generations, and their interests are closely related. It is no good to oppose them.

Although the Takemata family belonged to the Sasaki Party, they had surrendered to my family for two generations. Takemata Ketsuna would not have followed Shinbata Nagaton to cause rebellion.

Nagahide Yasuda has pledged his allegiance to me and has become my subordinate.Seeing that the party is the weakest and is close to the Sino-Vietnamese border, she has no courage to rebel. "

Yiyin laughed.

"In this case, let's take advantage of the Xinfatian chaos, scrape the bones and heal the wounds, and completely solve the Yangbeizhong Group."

Uesugi Terutoro thought for a while, then nodded in recognition of Yoshinori's idea.

Among the four parties within the Yangbei Congregation, the most powerful is the Chichibu Party.However, in the case of Chuanakajima's betrayal of the master, Honjo Shigeru betrayed Sebushi, which caused the main family to turn against the Irobe family, and the interior was the most disunity.

Nakajo Fujimoto of the Miura Party is himself the leader of the pro-Uesugi faction. Uesugi Terotora has been helped by Yoshihiro Uesugi, and his power is flourishing. How could she betray at this time?

The head of the Dajian Party, the Yasuda family, has a territory close to Zhongyue.Yang Beizhong was conquered, Yasuda Changxiu was the first unlucky person to be beaten, and he would definitely not easily follow the rebel party.

As for the Sasaki Party, the main force of the Shibata Rebellion, the Takemata family also surrendered to the Uesugi family for two generations, and Takemata Keitsuna would not be willing to mess around with Shinbata Nagaton.

There are already signs of disintegration within the Yangbei group, and now it is just taking advantage of the Sasaki party's chaos to completely disintegrate their unity and settle the biggest factor of instability in Echigo.

In the final analysis, it was Uesugi Terutora, with the assistance of Shiba Yoshigin, who controlled the interior of Echigo and showed the courage to compete for the Kanto Plain.

The Yangbei people have multiplied in Xiayue for hundreds of years, the land has been exhausted, and the population has continued to grow.There are more and more disputes over water and land among the various families.

Yang Beizhong also hopes to follow Uesugi Teruhu to conquer the Kanto Plain and obtain new land to house their children.

Just when the Kanto strategy is about to start, when all parties in Echigo are full of expectations.The rebellion started by Shinbata Nagaton was very inopportune.

Different from the previous Honjo Fanchang's rebellion, that time it was the vested interests of Shangyue who bullied the conquered samurai of Zhongxiayue.

The purpose of everyone's rebellion is to hold together to keep warm, let Shangyue know how powerful, don't bully people too much!Only families close to the Uesugi family will be coerced into raising troops, just to put on a show.

Anyway, Echigo rebelled every year, Uesugi Terotora was used to it, and he would not deal with these Yangbei people who were pro-Uesugi, but wanted to appease them.

But what is it this time?
Uesugi Terutoro has arranged everything, and everyone is looking forward to going to the Kanto Plain in the beginning of spring, grabbing food, money, and land and men.

At this time, civil strife is unpopular!
