A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Uesugi Kenshin looked at Taro Yamauchi with deep meaning. He was loyal to the shogunate and willing to maintain the authority of the shogunate. But this does not mean that he only believes in the shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Other shogunates of Ashikaga are also very good.

If this general who conquered the barbarians was his nephew, wouldn't it be better for Uesugi Kenshin?

Political wisdom is something Uesugi Kenshin basically has, although he is occasionally not very good at it. He even did the bad thing of bullying Nagao when he was young, depriving the Ashikaga Nagao clan of their territory and transferring it to others, which resulted in the Ashikaga Nagao clan directly defecting to Hojo.

But it’s not that difficult to choose a general!

Xiaopingta knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression. If he really wanted to raise troops to attack Oda Nobunaga, then the shogunate would have to change! We cannot leave tens of thousands of us to build a shogunate with real swords and real spears, and leave it to others to do it!

When the shogunate changes, Taro Yamauchi will succeed him, there is no doubt about this! Uesugi Kenshin was happy to see Taro Yamauchi as this general from the bottom of his heart.

But for the time being, neither of them has said anything. The matter of supporting Taro Yamauchi in raising troops to attack Luo is still being planned. When it will be done and whether it will be done will depend on the development of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga.

There was nothing left to say, so Koheita wrote a letter and entrusted a Hatamoto Pegasus to send it back to the mountain and give it to Hosokawa Saime to inform the company.

Be prepared to fall out!

We and Uesugi are our nephew and uncle's country. We both prosper and lose. No matter how this matter develops, since Ashikaga Yoshiaki has made it clear, we must be prepared to advance and retreat together.

After talking about this matter, both parties knew what was going on. Even Taro Yamauchi probably knew that his family and his uncle were troubled by the conflict between the shogunate and the Oda clan.

Press and hold!

Now that they have come to Kawagoe Castle, Taro Yamauchi and Kenshin Uesugi are preparing to meet the grandparents Shihken Uesugi and Yoshinori Uesugi. Uesugi Yoshinori is only a fourteen-year-old boy, and the real head of the family is the old man Uesugi Shihken.

Although Kitamusashi made a big round at the beginning of the year and was defeated once, there were still three melons and two dates in the fields no matter what. Mr. Uesugi is not a great Bodhisattva, so he cannot be exempted from taxes. He will still collect the annual tribute as usual, but he will collect less.

The team that originally had only a few dozen Ma Zai boys has now transformed into a high-ranking minister and general. This is the right thing to do. I have worked with the old man for so many years and even built a group of retainers for the old man. I deserve a generous reward.

A group of people surrounded Uesugi Shihken, who was in high spirits during happy events. The old man looked more than ten years younger than his actual age. With such a high-spirited look, he might not have a problem living for more than ten years.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, the Commander-in-Chief, and His Highness the Dismounted Horse!" Grandfather and grandson came together.

"Please get up quickly!"

Several people burst into laughter and entered the city. Uesugi Shihken's determination to fight against Hojo is unquestionable and there is no need to doubt it. Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin did not need to explain anything to him in detail when he came here. He only needed to confirm whether Uesugi Shihken supported him as the leader of Kanto.

The old man knew clearly that half of their family's stability depended on the foreign aid provided by Yamauchi and Uesugi. In response to Uesugi Kenshin's temptation, the old man, who had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, knelt down without saying a word!

You don’t even frown, it’s very smooth and natural!

very satisfied! Uesugi Kenshin is very satisfied with the old man’s attitude!

Their family knew each other so well, so Uesugi Kenshin didn't have any grudges about handing over the huge Matsuyama lordship to the Ogitani Uesugi family.

And later Ota Shizheng and Ota Masaki and his son were not inferior to the old man at all. They have been wandering around for many years, and now they have finally recovered their territory and are on the front line of defense against Hojo. Don't you understand the importance of holding on tight?

These younger brothers were all released by the Yamauchi family, but through Uesugi Kenshin's inspections in the past few days, at least on the surface, it was established that the Kanto princes were dominated by Uesugi Kenshin.

Chiyamauchi returns to Chiyamauchi, but from Uesugi we also come from Uesugi!

After watching this performance of "Looking up from all directions and coming to the king from all the countries", winter was about to come and everyone returned to their respective countries.

………………

"Have you all read the impeachment letter?" Chief Accountant Yamauchi sat at the top and presided over the consecutive judgment meeting.

Everyone present nodded in agreement, and Yamauchi Giho, who was sitting at the end, folded the letter again and passed it back.

"Zaemon brought back Daiki's consultation before, I think you should have foreseen it."

"Now that the leader of Kasuga Mountain has received Dashu's secret letter, I am afraid that the situation in Luoyang will change drastically!" After the chief planner of the mountain finished talking about the current situation, he waited for everyone to express their opinions.

"Kai and Suruga are newly attached, and it is difficult to mobilize their troops. If there is a war now, the time is not ripe!" Imagawa Yoshiuchi crossed his arms in front of his chest.

He knew Suruga's situation. On the one hand, he wanted to eliminate the traces of the rule of the Takeda clan and the old Imagawa clan, and on the other hand, he also needed to be prepared for possible attacks by the Hojo clan at any time. It is very likely that Suruga Kingdom will not be able to contribute much in future wars, let alone Kai.

"I just don't know how Luoyang will behave in the end." Hokahata University expressed its concerns.

"Maybe it can be reconciled?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to reconcile!" Uncle Tsunaliang saw clearly in Luoyang that Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had basically torn apart their hypocrisy.

Oda Nobunaga still recognizes this shogunate, naturally because there is considerable support behind the shogunate. He is now divided into the south and the north, respectively, the Miyoshi and the Asakura clan. Although there is no pressure to fight against two, they can no longer expand the front.

This is why he maintained the most basic restraint!

The reason why Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not immediately ask the daimyo to raise troops was because he was making the final budget. Are the daimyo willing to carry out an anti-Oda war under the unified command of the shogunate, with him as the general as the leader of the alliance?

Can everyone respond to his call as soon as possible, instead of pushing me and dragging me to death slowly?

"My lords! There is a message!" A servant opened the barrier door and reported loudly.

"Whose family does it belong to?" asked the Yamauchi chief sitting above.

"The person who came here is Kanamori Gorohachi (Kanemori Nagauchi), the red mother's robe of the Oda clan."

"Oda? Invite him in!"

What did you say? This thing really happened without saying it. What happened to Oda Nobunaga? It was almost snowing, but he actually sent someone to come to the mountain.

"Greetings, my lords!" Kanamori Nagakon trotted into the room and presented Oda Nobunaga's letter.

Chief Accountant Yamauchi took it, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it expressionlessly, "Please go to the castle for a while, and I will reply to Gifu Tanzheng after we discuss it!"
