different warring states of japan

Chapter 917

Uesugi Terutora sneered.

"These well-known wastes have been fighting for hundreds of years, but they haven't figured out why they are fighting. They will only increase taxes desperately. The six lords and four people, the seven lords and three people continue to increase the number, and the middle and lower martial arts have already suffered.

Hojo Shiyasu really caught their pain, no wonder they desperately want to resist, surrendering and rebelling every chance they get. "

The Kanto Raiders with Yoshigin's participation, of course, would not only care about fighting and killing like Uesugi Terutora, he ordered the San Taifu of the Hundred Lands to collect a lot of information on the Kanto Plain.

As for Daxiong Chaoxiu's lineage of enforcement offices, it seemed that they had tasted the sweetness of the previous dispute over buying and robbing food, and began to study these information to win the appreciation of the lord.

This also provides another angle for Uesugi Terutora and Shiba Yoshigin to understand the disputes in the Kanto Plain more comprehensively.

With the defeat of the two Uesugi families, the new Kwantung general Ashikaga Yoshihiro wholeheartedly followed the Hojo family to make a living.Hojo Shikang has already occupied a dominant position in the Kanto Plain, and various families surrendered one after another.

And she is not satisfied with this kind of surrender in terms of status, she wants to turn this advantage into the strength of the Hojo family, and truly lead the Kanto samurai within the sphere of influence.

The Kanto samurai family has been fighting for a hundred years, and none of them survived is good. They have already discovered Hojo Shiyasu's intentions.

In the past, General Kanto, the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, and the Uesugi family in Ogaya fought in chaos.Whoever wins, everyone hangs the banner of that family, and how to live a small life behind closed doors, or how to live.

This method of changing the king's flag at the top of the city obviously couldn't fool Hojo Shiyasu.She really started to deal with these capricious Kanto warriors.

Hojo Shiyasu started from the core territory of Hojo in the two countries of Izu Sagami, and continued to improve the new internal affairs system, and gradually introduced new policies to the Musashi Kingdom within his sphere of influence.

Hojo Shiyasu's method is very simple, that is, the upper level leads the nationalization, and the lower level makes more profits.

For the time being, her policy is only in Musashi's country. For the powerful samurai families such as Ota and Narita, they will use territorialization to weaken their control over their own territories.

As for the lower-level Ji warriors such as the lower-level village servants, they use the tax system of reducing land taxes, improving the taxation system of donating money, and hanging money to win them over.

The four men and six people of the Hojo family are the only benevolent deeds in the Kanto Wu family. This kind of benevolent government alone is very popular among the middle and lower classes.

Dongbeqian is a poll tax anchored by houses, while hanging money is a temporary additional tax. The systematization of these two kinds of taxes is even more grateful to Ji Wushi at the bottom.

After the middle and lower class warriors pay taxes, they will no longer face the inexplicable increase in taxes again and again, the despair of having to pay new taxes even though they have already paid taxes.

The improvement of the tax system has relieved at least half of the tax pressure on the inland servants directly led by the Hojo family. Of course, they will support the Hojo family.

Hojo Shiyasu knew very well that these famous families in Kanto looked down on the recent outsiders who pretended to be Ise girls with Hojo's slender character.

But the middle and lower class samurai don't care, they were exploited and hurt during the hundred years of war.They are the group of people who most hope for stability, and they are the ones that the Hojo family has been wooing.

Therefore, it is a false proposition that the Hojo family is unpopular in the Kanto Plain.

Although most of the upper-level samurai do not like the Hojo family, they are afraid of her family's infiltration of their territory.But in the middle and lower classes, there are really many warriors who are close to the Hojo family.

This also led to a phenomenon, that is, the governor opposed the Hojo family, and the retainer group forced the governor to support the Hojo family.Once the two sides fail to reach an agreement, civil strife will break out.

The Numata family is an example.

The governor supported the Uesugi family, and the young master was supported by the retainer group to support the Hojo family, and then the two sides tore apart, and civil strife broke out.

The Numata retainers would rather ask the Hojo clan Yasushi to ask for an heir, and let the Hojo family's heir, Numata Miao, be the successor, rather than make concessions.

From this we can see how effective Hojo Shiyasu's benevolent win over the middle and lower classes is.

Yi Yin said worriedly.

"Even if we help Numata Xiantai regain control of the Numata family, how long can she control the Numata family?
We can't pin our hopes on this crazy governor who killed two daughters in a row.Otherwise, sooner or later the Numata family would be in chaos. "

Uesugi Terutora nodded.

"I understand, but we don't have time.

The Kanto Raiders after Autumn is ready to go, and it has to be launched.Even if Kenya Numata is a pig, I have to help her now.

Everything will be settled after the battle after autumn, and then we will talk about other things.The matter of the Numata family must be properly resolved sooner or later.

Now, I would like you to meet Xiantai Numata first, to appease her emotions. "

Yiyin agreed.

"You're right, that's all for now. Where is she?"

"Just waiting outside the government hall, with the third daughter Numata Kunken."

Yiyin stood up and said.

"Then let's go to the government hall together and give the escaped family governor a reassurance."

Uesugi Terutoro stood up and smiled.

"Humble, trustworthy, fair and wise."

---

While the Numata family was in turmoil, Terotora Uesugi and Yoshihiro Shiba worried about whether the future of Echigo Kingdom's passage into Ueno Kingdom would be stable.

In Agatsuma County, west of Numata County, Ueno Country, Nobushige Sanada was released by Shiba Yoshigin as a leisure chess player.

She has stretched her arms to run wild, and she wants to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the Kanto Raiders to climb to a higher position.

Agatsuma County takes Yangui Castle as the core, and is divided into east and west parts, with four towns and two villages in total.

West Agatsuma has Naganohara Town, Kusatsu Town, Tsumagoi Village, East Agatsuma has Nakanojo Town, East Agatsuma Town, and Takayama Village.

Among them, the Nakanojo Basin in Nakanojo Town and the Agatsuma River Plain in Higashiagatsuma Town are the most prosperous.

At this time, in Naganohara Town of Nishi Agatsuma, a council was about to be held in Yuo Castle to decide the future of the Unano Clan.

Yuo Castle, located in Naganohara Town in the west of Agatsuma County, is the connection point of Nishi Agatsuma Two Towns and One Village.

Connecting Kusatsu Town in the northwest, taking the Kusatsu Road Mountain Road can directly reach Iiyama in Beixin, go to Fushi, and then Matsudai Ling of Sanada Nobushige.

The southwest is connected to Tsumagoi Village, and you can directly reach the ancient city of Matsuo through Osa, which is Sanada Township where the Sanada Honke is located.

To the east of Naganohara Town, along the valley in the mountains of the Agatsuma River, is Rock Cabinet Castle.To the east of Yangui City is the second town and one village of Higashizuma.

For hundreds of years, the three tribes of Ziye immigrated and infiltrated here from the mountainous areas of Dongxin and Beixin, and their descendants have spread throughout the entire Xiwuzuma area.

Here is close to the Shinano mountainous area, the land is barren, and life is poor.The Nishi Ueno samurai were unwilling to migrate, and stopped at the coastal plain of the Agatsuma River in the East Agatsuma.

As a result, the Shino clan from Mount Shinano occupied the Nishiagazuma area.

Among the three Shino clans who immigrated to Agatsuma County, the Unino family branch was the most prosperous.The descendants of Uno, Yuo and Kamahara, have been fighting for many years for the leadership of the Nishi Agatsuma area.

Today, the Umino family, in the name of Unino Totsuna, the governor of the Umino family, summoned the relatives of the local Umino branch to come to Yuo Castle to hold the ceremony for the Umino family to inherit the name of Umino.

Outside Yuo City, Kamahara House Governor Yukishige, who has been fighting with the Yuo family for many years, pointed to the dilapidated small village not far away, and smiled at Sanada Yuki who came with him.

"Fortunately, come and see. With this dilapidated place, Yuwei City dared to steal the name of Unino Miao, and claimed to be the leader of the Ziye clan.

You say, is it ridiculous? "

Sanada Yuyuki smiled calmly.

"You are right. This small town really lacks repairs."

She only said that the city was broken, but didn't mention Yuwei's family, she didn't want to express her opinion.

Kamahara Yukishige felt a little displeased, this girl from the Sanada family was impeccable in her speech, Masayuki Sanada trained her well.
