A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Because of Xiaoheita, the butterfly, the flapping of its wings was slightly disordered. Uesugi Kagetora, whose heels were not strong enough at first, found a new father for nothing this time who was strong enough, famous enough, had a high status, and had enough connections.

Uesugi Kagenobu has no descendants, and he has really raised Uesugi Kagetora as his son in the past few years. Although Japan values ​​family name over bloodline, in the final analysis, this kind of active adoption depends on whether the adoptive father and son are compatible.

Uesugi Kagetora has become more and more handsome as he grows older in the past few years. He has a talented appearance and is already top-notch in terms of skin. It can even be said that people will fall in love with him immediately upon seeing him. 【Note 1】

Many people must have encountered this kind of talent in life. They didn't know this person well, so they just took a look at it. At first glance, they felt that this person was a good person and that they could date him. If this is still a wonderful person who is good at dancing and speaks well, then he will definitely be able to get along like a fish in water.

According to Naoe Keizuna, Uesugi Kagetora actually went to see Uesugi Kenmasa. Kenmasa Uesugi, who was at odds with the Hojo clan, unexpectedly liked this young man very much. He even proposed that Uesugi Kagetora marry the adopted daughter of Uesugi Teruatora to enhance the relationship between the Fuchu Uesugi (Nagao) clan and the Furushi Uesugi (Nagao) clan. Relationship.

Thanks to Uesugi Kagetora's hard work in Echigo in the past few years, I don't know how many people turned to Furushi Uesugikata because of his personal charm. As the elder of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Keishin has become more and more powerful in the Uesugi family because he picked up a good son who knows how to do things.

A series of big names including Honjo Hidetsuna, Hojo Takahiro, Hojo Kehiro, Hojo Fuhiro, Honjo Keinaga, Kanyo Ochutsuna, Yamamotoji Sadenaga and others have clearly stood on the side of Uesugi Keishin (Uesugi Ketora).

Although he lost two historically unreliable external aids, Hojo and Takeda, Echigo's domestic support has grown stronger.

In particular, the close attitude of the previous leader Uesugi to the constitutional government and the support of the retainers of the old leader gave Fushi Uesugi an undercurrent to gradually gain an advantage.

Koheta touched his chin, he didn't expect Uesugi Kagetora's personality to be so charming. Since the external conditions have become extremely worse than in history, he actually used his own abilities to open up the situation from Echigo's country, and his strength was stronger and stronger than in history.

"Does Yamato Shou know who is in charge of His Highness?"

Xiao Pingtai regretted it as soon as he asked. This kind of thing was not something he should ask, not to mention that he had something related to it to say, so he shouldn't ask.

However, Naoe Keetsuna's attitude was very playful. He actually did not refute Heita Xiao, nor did he answer Heita Xiao's questions.

He just smiled faintly and said, "How can we guess what His Highness meant?"

Old fox!

Historically, this Naoe Keetsuna hedged his bets. Shitata Yoshihide followed Uesugi Keigatsu, and Naoe Nobutsuna followed Uesugi Kagetora. Anyway, no matter who wins, the Naoe family is an important minister who has made contributions to the dragon, and there is no problem at all in the survival of the family name. .

Asking him isn't asking in vain! It turns out that at this time, Naoe Keizuna had already assumed a posture of sitting on the fence. Could it be that Terutora Uesugi really never revealed his thoughts about the successor to his ministers?

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be done. Appoint the prince early, establish prestige for the prince, recruit key retainers, and train a team. When he was in his forties or fifties, he lived in seclusion and slowly handed over power. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu nominally gave up his general position to Hidetada in advance.

"Yamato Mamoru, actually I have something to do here."

"Um?"

"Suzhini is five months pregnant."

"Well!!!!"

"Xiao Ping Tai, who means this!"

Naoe Keizuna immediately understood that the Yamauchi family actually wanted to send an adopted son to the Uesugi family. For the Yamauchi family, it is to resolve the crisis of civil strife in the family, but for the Uesugi family, it is most likely to add fuel to the fire.

But what about Naoe Keizuna? Maybe it's another opportunity.

Sitting on both sides can certainly ensure that the family will not be destroyed, but eventually someone will speak out about this kind of thing.

That Naoe Yamato and Morishin are awesome, and they give a son-in-law as a gift. Whoever wins is a great achievement. Hahaha!

But if you only focus on supporting one heir, the risk is very high, especially when the outcome is not clear yet. But on the contrary, the benefits will also become very large. If we make further progress, it is not impossible for the Naoe family to replace Moronagao and Uesugi and become the authoritative power in charge of the Uesugi family.

"This matter has been reported to His Highness Hamamatsu, and the fetus in Suzhini's belly is not known yet. I just came to ask for His Highness's opinion."

On Xiaopingtai's side, if she gives birth to a daughter, everything will be ruined and she can pretend that it never happened. Assuming that the child is a son, if Uesugi Teruhu is willing to have it, we can discuss adoption.

And now that the situation in Echigo is like this, if the Yamauchi family sends an heir in, they will immediately encounter strong opposition from Uesugi Kagenobu and Nagao Masakage. That's the meat in their bowl, and they won't welcome outsiders to use their chopsticks.

The originally strong marriage alliance between the two families will definitely have huge rifts that are difficult to repair. After all, there are countless people waving flags behind those two people. If the Yamauchi family intervenes, it is equivalent to being hostile to almost half of the Uesugi retainers.

"It's me, Meng Lang. It's better not to talk to His Highness the Commander for the time being."

Xiaoping was too afraid that this would cause a big problem for Uesugi Teruhu and cause cracks in the relationship between the two families, so he was still prepared to stop this matter in time.

"I might as well mention that Yamauchi Habayashi and His Highness the Commander are sworn brothers. This matter is not completely impossible."

Naoe Keetsuna seemed to have some different ideas. This Echigo general was thoughtful and played a significant role in the historical Hachimangahara battlefield. He served as the royal guard of the Uesugi clan's army many times on the battlefield. At most, Kohe, who commanded the entire army, carried an army of as many as three to four thousand men.

"Yamato Mamoru, if this matter is not kept secret, there will be big waves."

Koheta is now afraid. The impact of this matter is too great. If it is revealed unscrupulously, it will have a bad impact on the Uesugi and Yamauchi families.

"From your mouth to my ears, there will be no third person. In the past two days, I have tried to invite Your Highness to come to my home for a confidential talk."

Naoe Keizuna nodded slightly to Xiaopingta, indicating that Xiaopingta was at ease and would not let anyone else know about this kind of thing.

"Then leave everything to Yamato Mamoru."

Xiao Pingtai stood up, walked back and forth, held his hands behind his back and had a fierce battle between heaven and man in his mind, and finally agreed.

Now that we are here, it would be great to have a superficial communication first.
