A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 714 26. Ask your uncle to take charge of Dongguo

Let’s discuss it!

Mrs. Xiaoping really can’t think anymore!

Due to Xiao Pingtai's health problems, the ministers who originally came to the city to serve as trustees had no choice. After all, he couldn't do without Koheita, so he simply changed the consecutive sentencing meeting to Koheita's house. Ashikaga Yoshiaki also happened to come over every day to see his uncle Tansheng.

The news inevitably leaked out, but as long as Xiaopingtai didn't swallow that breath, everyone in the mountain thought that Xiaopingtai had another stomach problem. Anyway, it wasn’t once or twice. During the Tonegawa battle, I was knocked unconscious for one night. The last time he was seriously ill, he was sent directly to Komaba Hot Spring to recuperate. This time he is still in the mansion, so it probably won't be a big problem.

In addition, Koheita also managed to get up and take a car to go to the commissioning office. He was already a thin and small person. Everyone thought that Fujiwara Danmasa was just recovering from a serious illness and his complexion was inevitably worse, so his heart was stable and there was no fluctuation.

"Captain Kasugayama said that no matter how he arranges it, he will send a team of people to Luo together." The Uesugi family's diplomatic choice is actually Koheita, but now they can only let Hosokawa Saime do it for the time being.

"Approximately how many troops are there?"

"About three thousand people, and His Highness Takanashi Kaizu, about a thousand people also came to the mansion." Hosokawa Sainyu answered quickly.

"This is because I don't want to miss such a big deal as Shangluo." Xiao Pingtai closed his eyes and listened to the discussion on the side. But when it's time to express an opinion, I will still say it in a low voice.

It's easy to understand. The Yamauchi family is going to Shangluo. To put it bluntly, everyone supports Ashikaga Yoshiaki and goes to Beijing to become a general. Even though Uesugi Kenshin is the uncle of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and a staunch ally of the Uesugi and Yamauchi families, his support is the icing on the cake.

Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiaki actually succeeded to the throne through a collateral line. To put it bluntly, the shogunate was essentially changed. The shogunate system will definitely undergo major changes! The Uesugi family was the Kanto governor of the former shogunate, and of course they should also be the Kanto governor of the current shogunate.

We just happened to raise troops to fight in Shangluo together. When there is a meeting in the new shogunate in the future, Uesugi Kenshin can proudly say that it was like that when my family sent troops to Shangluo.

Do it for the world to see! I will participate in the big events in Shangluo! I have made great contributions to Dingding Kyoto! I decide on the shogunate system! Not Ashikaga wins Ashikaga!

"Captain Kasugayama is loyal to the king, so he definitely doesn't want to be left behind." The chief planner in the mountain also nodded.

"The Echigo clan is divided into three teams, with Amansa Omi Morikagemochi, Kawada Toumae Shōuchikachi, and Takemata Mikawa Mori Keitsuna each leading a team. The Takanashi clan will be commanded by Takanashi Neki and will arrive in about two or three days."

"As long as the reception is good, it's my uncle's wish after all." After listening to Hosokawa's report, Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw that no one had any other opinions and said naturally.

The issue to be discussed this time is Uesugi Kenshin's behavior. Now Uesugi Kenshin has made half of the decisions himself. Xiaoping was too concerned about his more than eight thousand elite Echigo soldiers, so he sent three thousand first.

As for the Takanashi family, they were also a famous family with thousands of soldiers. Unfortunately, Takanashi Hidemasa fell down due to a cold before he was forty years old. Now Takanashi Masayori is still in charge at his age. Although the family is relatively stable, there is no way to use large-scale troops.

Otherwise, if we just bring the Takanashi family with us, we can get at least 5,000 more people, and their combat effectiveness will be tested, and there will be no problems at all. Now if someone sends a thousand people over, it can be regarded as a friendship, which is quite interesting.

"Hojo must be on guard, what do you think of the rest?" Kodaira nodded first.

"Uesugi Musashi Mamoru (Yoshiken) and Ohta Sanrakusai (Zimasa) have always been hostile to Hojo. If Hojo rebels, these two will definitely send troops to help, and they can be said to be effective in combat."

"I'm just afraid..." Hojo Hatake University stopped talking, not because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to beat Hojo when they went to school.

"Please ask Nagano Uenosuke of Minawa Castle to be the commander-in-chief and go south to take charge?" Hosokawa Saime and Nagano Yamori have fought side by side several times and have some friendship.

Moreover, Nagano Yamori is Uesugi Kenshin's son-in-law, and his biological father Nagano Yamori is the famous "Ueshu Huangma" in Kanto. It is not completely impossible for him to come forward to summon the heroes of Kanto on behalf of Uesugi Kenshin.

"Nagano Uenosuke is good in all aspects, but he is a bit upright, so it is difficult to reconcile the generals." Koheita also admires Nagano Yashimai, but the young man is definitely an honest person, but he is not as good at winning over people as his father Nagano Yamasa. . If he were to be the eldest brother, he would not have the power to unite a large group.

"In the end, the leader of Kasugayama still needs to come forward in person."

"The area in Guandong always looks up to the high-ranking martial arts family and obeys its prestige. Unless you are in charge of your highness, you cannot control the people."

Everyone here has simply ignored Mr. Furukawa. The current Ashikaga Yorijun was supported by Hosokawa Saime. Regardless of his power, even his foundation is very shallow. Although many of the princes who went down to the field came under his command, people in other places may not obey him.

"So it's safe to ask my uncle to take charge of Kanto?" Everyone was talking about it. There was no good candidate who could replace Uesugi Kenshin in Kanto. In the end, he himself had to be invited.

"Since there are already 4,000 more people, it is indeed more appropriate for His Majesty the Commander to stay in the Eastern Kingdom." Chief Yamauchi thought for a moment and was the first to respond to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's question.

"Then let's do it!" Xiao Pingtai saw that the others had not spoken yet.

I don't know if I'm waiting for Xiao Pingtai to speak, or if I'm really hesitant and don't know how to decide on this matter. He simply followed behind Chief Yamauchi and expressed his approval.

Adding in the 4,000 Uesugi men, Yamauchi's main army force on the frontal battlefield can be guaranteed to be 40,000 people. Although it is still far behind Oda Nobunaga's main force, it is already a powerful military force rarely seen in the world. .

"Do you all agree?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded to Xiaoheita, looked back and asked again.

Ichimon and Shodai both had the same opinion, and the opinions of the seven judges present were naturally unified. As for Konishiharazaemon who was in Kofu and Yamauchi Yoshiho who was going to Mino, they just agreed in absence.

"Then let my uncle draft the draft and send the letter to his uncle."

Originally, this was Koheita's job. Writing diplomatic letters to Uesugi Kenshin was naturally drafted by the person in charge and copied by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Now I have no choice but to let Yamauchi's accountant do the work for him and write a letter to finish the matter.

Ashikaga Yoshitsho was read out in front of everyone, and there was nothing wrong with it. The main thing was to write Ashikaga Yoshitsho to ask Uesugi Kenshin to stay put and control the Eastern Kingdom, and temporarily move the troops to Kawagoe Castle. On the one hand, it is to guard the Hojo family, and on the other hand, it can also take care of Koshinobu's hometown in Yamauchi and eliminate the worries of the Yamauchi family on Luo.

The ministers confirmed that it was correct, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki immediately signed it, and Koheta and Hosokawa Saime also signed their monograms as fuyao. Such a formal diplomatic document was completed, and Murakami Yoshimitsu was immediately asked to send someone to Echigo.

The only step left for the Yamauchi family to go to Luo is to actually raise an army!
