The Kanto Shogun established by the Ashikaga Shogunate governed the ten kingdoms of Kanto. In addition to the eight Kanto states, it also included the Izu Kingdom and the Kai Kingdom.
Within the Kanto system, Terutora Uesugi is the leader of Kanto, and Kai's guardian Takeda Shingen is actually her subordinate.
In order to maintain the rules and dignity of the Kanto system, Yiyin was originally prepared to deal with these entrenched local forces one by one.
The Hojo family was set as the first target, and it was Lianheng's strategy to temporarily win over and stabilize Takeda, Satomi, and Satake, who are powerful locals.
As the central army, the Uesugi family is actually in the most advantageous position as a referee. Wouldn't it be beautiful to call on the princes to besiege the Hojo family with great righteousness and use their strength to fight?
However, after Terutora Uesugi personally joined forces with the Hojo family, he lost his arbitration status. This caused the Kanto system that Yoshigan had painstakingly built at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to completely fail.
The Satomi family and the Hojo family maintained peace, the Satake family and the Utsunomiya family organized the Oriental people to form a stronghold to protect themselves, and the Takeda family began to take precautions in the bud.
The above-mentioned Kanto strategy of Teru Sugi as the leader of the Kanto region was the moral high ground, and the central government arbitrated local disputes to suppress them and encroached on them step by step.
Although the Kanhachishu samurai family still recognizes Uesugi Teruhora's identity as the Kanto leader and recognizes the Kanto system re-established by Yoshinobu, everything is in chaos.
The Uesugi family is no longer a central force supporting justice, but has become a raccoon dog who ends up fighting for food with everyone else.
The Hojo family and the Satomi family in the south, the Satake family and the Utsunomiya family in the east, as well as local famous families of all sizes, no longer welcome Uesugi Teruhora, and the appeal of the Kanto leader is gone.
Yoshigan originally wanted to give a blow to Sanada Nobushige, who had conquered Nishi Ueno without permission, so that Nagano Yamori could return to Nishi Ueno to check and balance the Sanada people who were rapidly expanding in power.
But now the Takeda family's eastern followers have stirred up side conflicts, and after the collapse of the Minawa clan, Nishi Ueno no longer has the backbone to fight against the Takeda family.
Only Sanada Nobushige, who has an alliance with Kunmine Castle Obata Nobusada, can stabilize the situation in Nishi Ueno and contain the threat of the Takeda family.
Yoshigan had no choice but to give up the idea of beating Nobushige Sanada and supported her to establish a foothold in Nishi Ueno and protect the flank of Echigo's western mountain line.
He knew that by doing so, he was indulging Sanada Nobushige. The Sanada people were already in a great position and there was a hidden danger of disaster, but he had no choice.
If the Takeda family entered Nishi Ueno, the pressure faced by Echigo would not only be from the east and south, but also from the west.
With the gathering of forces from all directions including east, west, north and south, Kanhachishu can really play mahjong. If the Echigo party is accidentally kicked out of Kanhachishu, will the system take the opportunity to determine that the mission has failed?
Yiyin doesn't dare to bet on the character of the system. That thing is unreliable. In order to increase the charm value, it can't do anything.
Therefore, the most appropriate response strategy for Nishi Ueno is to hand it over to Sanada Nobushige and ask her to block the Takeda family from Usui Pass.
Yiyin felt a little uncomfortable in his chest and asked stiffly.
"Where is Her Majesty Uesugi now? What is she doing?"
Daxiong Chaoxiu knew that Yiyin was in a bad mood and answered carefully.
"Your Highness Uesugi is currently in Numata Castle and is planning to mobilize the army after the autumn harvest to conquer the Sano Territory again."
Yiyin was shocked.
"What?"
Big Bear whispered to Chao Xiu.
"It is said that His Highness Hojo Ujiyasu has expressed support for this. Nagao Nagao of Ashikaga Castle and Yura Shigege of Kanayama Castle are both willing to send troops to help."
Yiyin sneered.
"Hojo Ujiyasu is an old fox, of course she will support it!
The alliance between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family broke through the Sano territory and took over the gateway to Shimono country. The local samurai families of Shimono and Hitachi two countries must have a thorn in their backs.
The Oriental Crowd formed by the samurai families of the two countries has really turned into a samurai group hostile to the Uesugi family!
Hojo Yasu is very calculating, but Uesugi Teruhu is so confused!
When Uesugi's army breaks through the Sano territory, the Kanhachishu samurai family will change from an anti-Hojo alliance to an anti-Uesugi alliance.
Our conquest in the land of Guanbazhou will be difficult, and it will be difficult to make any further progress!"
Sibo Yiyin was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Terutora Uesugi, a fool who is obsessed with violence to break the situation, may not understand Hojo Ujiyasu's tricks, but she just doesn't care!
She has always been like this, violently suppressing Echigo, violently attacking Hokushin, and violently pacifying Echichu. If Yoshigan hadn't helped her finish the deal, this fool who believed in force would have been besieged on all sides!
Seeing Yiyin turning pale with anger, Da Xiong rolled his eyes at Chao Xiu and bowed.
"In Jinduo Hall, I am in a state of panic. I have a few words of advice that are offensive to my ears. I beg your Majesty to adopt them."
Yiyin glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu and knew what she wanted to say.
Within the Kanto Palace, there are always voices of parting ways with the Uesugi family.
In particular, the Nakoshishigotsu samurai families, such as Ohuma Asahide and Honjo Shigenaga, who had been oppressed by the Uesugi family, had deep discord with the Uesugi retainers.
Last winter, after Yoshigan performed a miracle at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine and took back the imperial white flag of Hachiman Taimu, the Kanhachishu samurai family respected him as a god.
This spring, Terutora Uesugi went on his own again, and his army was completely defeated, almost ruining all the gains he had made last year.
The voices of dissatisfaction within the Kanto Palace are getting louder and louder. Everyone feels that the headquarters is fully fledged in Kanto and is unwilling to be dragged down by the Uesugi family anymore.
The Echigo duopoly composed of Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigan Saba is on the verge of splitting at any time, which is one of the reasons why Yoshigan must come back immediately.
The Kanto Secretariat was originally a branch opened in Kanto by Yoshigan in the name of the shogunate under the Imperial Sword Order. In terms of status, Terutora Uesugi, the Kanto chief, was not in charge of the Kanto Secretariat.
The Ashikaga Shogun family in Kyoto and the Kamakura Ashikaga family in Kanhachishu have long since fallen out. The Kanto system is an independent kingdom that is independent of the guardian system.
The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the Hojo family was the secret agent planted by Kyoto to clean up the Ashikaga family in Kamakura.
It's just that the Hojo family, which has worked hard for three generations, has become ambitious and has begun to call itself a famous family in Kanto and is unwilling to admit its disgraceful origins.
Therefore, the samurai family of the Kanto Palace can confidently split from the Uesugi family without any moral condemnation. The two parties are not colleagues in the same system, so there is no talk of betrayal.
Daxiong Chaohide had a face that said she wanted to speak out impartially, but Yoshigan knew that she was happy in her heart. She was the senior member of the Kanto Palace who hated the Uesugi family the most.
Therefore, Yiyin simply refused.
"You don't have to say anything. I will never give up, Your Highness Uesugi."
Daxiong Chaoxiu's breath was stuck in his throat, he couldn't help coughing twice and said sarcastically.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Uesugi walked alone willfully and ruined the Kanto strategy that the two families should have jointly maintained.
It’s not that I mean to slander His Highness Uesugi, but for the benefit of the Kanto Palace, I thought..."
Yiyin interrupted her.
"What do you think? Daxiong Chaoxiu, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Daxiong Chaoxiu felt that she had spoken implicitly and tactfully enough. But she did not expect that Yiyin directly pierced the window paper and made the topic clear.
Seeing Yoshiyin glaring at him with anger in his eyes, Daxiong Chaohide, the Ji warrior who dared to challenge Kamiizumi Nobutsuna in a one-on-one fight and fought back and forth, was so frightened that the two of them fought, and kowtowed to the ground without daring to say a word.
Thanks to the miracle of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine and holding the royal white flag of Hachiman Taimu, Yoshigan's prestige in Kanto is much stronger than in recent times.
Daxiong Chaoxiu was his subordinate who single-handedly pulled him up from the abyss, and he was even more in awe of him.
Yiyin pointed at Daxiong Chaoxiu and cursed.
"Since I debuted, I, Shiba Yiyin, have always put justice first, kept my promises, and never betrayed my allies!
Even if Your Highness Uesugi was wrong this time, she sincerely welcomed me into Echigo, shared state affairs with me, and formed a blood alliance. How could I abandon her when she was in trouble!
Daxiong Chaoxiu, who do you think I, Sibo Yiyin, am? A man who acts according to the wind? A treacherous person?
I once said that you will live up to Ji and I will live up to Ji. Today, I will say it again. Please prick up your ears and listen clearly!
I went from having a broken family, one person and one knife, to being respected by the world and reviving my family business today, just because I never gave up or abandoned me. Whether it was an ally or a subordinate, I never abandoned anyone!
The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but we must work together to overcome the time limit!
If I abandon one person today and another person tomorrow, how many people will be around me in the future who are willing to follow me to the death?
If you encourage me to abandon His Highness Uesugi today, are you afraid that one day I will abandon you too?
The Wu family's world is in such disarray that it's so heartbreaking today just because there are too many people who think like you.
If everyone could hold a little righteousness in their hearts, the world would become a better place, and there would be no such troubled times as the collapse of etiquette and the collapse of music, which could overthrow the Wu family!"
Yi Yin's righteous words left Da Xiong Chao Xiu speechless and even felt a little aggrieved.
Is Terutora Uesugi sincere? Yes, he really wants to marry Yoshigan Shiba back home and swallow up the entire Kanto Palace!
Who in the Echigo samurai family can't see clearly about this matter? The kindness Uesugi Teruhora showed to Shiba Yoshigan today is for the sake of getting back the capital and profits tomorrow!
However, Shiba Yiyin is a person who believes in justice, and Daxiong Chaoxiu has to admire his character, but honest people suffer!
In this troubled world, uphold the righteousness, pay attention to keeping your promises, and keep your promises. Isn't this just a disease and making yourself unhappy?
Daxiong Chaoxiu couldn't help but slander him.
If it weren't for the fact that Shiba Yiyin was so good at fighting, he would have been tricked by others and taken back to have sex with him. How could he still stand here and shout such lofty words?
But now, Daxiong Chaoxiu, who had been spat on by Yiyin, did not dare to say anything. He could only nod and bow and admit his mistake with a smile.
Why? Just because Sibo Yiyin has an unparalleled army and is invincible, he has the capital and confidence to speak like this!
Therefore, even though Daxiong Chaoxiu complained deeply, she did not dare to say anything.
Not only her, but also the entire martial arts family in the Kanto Palace behind her, most of them were defeated by Yi Gin.
As long as Yiyin can still stand and breathe, none of these people will dare to disobey him.
Yiyin glanced at the sluggish Daxiong Chaoxiu and knew that he had calmed down his grandson.
He hurried back in a hurry, largely because he was worried that the Nakagoshimo family, who had suffered the Uesugi family's hardships, would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
No matter what Terutora Uesugi did, the overall situation of Echigo's duopolitics cannot be disrupted, and the line of close cooperation between Shiba and Uesugi cannot be shaken.
By suppressing the Kanto Palace, most of the problem was solved. The Uesugi family made successive mistakes, which made them even more worried that the Shiba family would take the opportunity to break up.
As long as Yoshihiro supports Uesugi Teruhora, the uneasiness within the Echigo samurai group will subside.
Looking past the big bear Asahide, Yoshigami looked at Ozo Changan and Ina Chuji.
He thought clearly on the boat that he came on board that the Kanto Strategy could no longer proceed due to Terutora Uesugi's recklessness.
The Kanhachishu samurai family, who were wary of the Echigo side, could not be defeated one by one through political division and disintegration and military encroachment step by step.
Since the hope of conquering by force is slim, it is better to try another method, at least to ensure that the system task cannot fail.
Having tasted the benefits of the Shibachu Fund, Yoshihiro began to think about using his high prestige in Kanto to build a set of soft power to influence the Kanbaju warrior family.
Use this method to replace the original military conquest of the Guandong Strategy and try the possibility of peaceful transformation of the eight states of Guan.
The new life movement that the Sibo family is promoting has enhanced the admiration and yearning for the Sibo family among martial arts families all over the world. He can try his best in Guanbazhou first, and there may be unexpected surprises.
Working behind closed doors on the ship these days, he already has some ideas.
Anyway, the road of military conquest has been led to a dead end by Uesugi Teruhora, so we might as well change our thinking, but this requires the cooperation of the Kanto Service Office.
Yiyin asked Dazang Changan.
"How is the progress of the trial trial of the law in Kanto? Have the results of last year's relief changes been sorted out? How are the harvests in various places in Kanto this year?"
Yiyin's series of questions made Dazang Changan stunned for a moment, and he looked carefully at Daxiong Chaoxiu sitting in front of him.
Daxiong Chaoxiu looked ugly. As the chief officer of the execution office, Yiyin passed her and asked her deputy. This was a very serious warning, which made her feel deeply embarrassed and frightened.
Ohuma Asahide's flirtation with Echigo's dual politics has seriously affected Yoshihiro's trust in her.
She couldn't help but regret a little. In the past two years, her power and position in the Guandong Palace had greatly increased and her position was stable, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little arrogant.
For something like this, you should find someone to test it out. Why should you come out to lick the knife in person?
This aroused the master's disgust, and the big bear Chaoxiu was so frightened that his whole body became weak, he lowered his head and said nothing, pretending to be a grandson, not daring to make the master angry again.
Dazang Changan's face was calm, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
After Ishida Mitsunari left, she took over the post of Naoe Jinguan Office and acted as the armrest for Daxiong Chaohide. Her life was not easy.
At that time, Daxiong Chaohide had just joined Shiba Yiyin, and had not made any achievements. He was very low-key in life and work. Ishida Mitsunari was the supervisor sent by Yiyin, so she naturally did not dare to make any small moves.
But when Da Zang Chang'an came to power, Da Xiong Chaoxiu was already a meritorious veteran, and his mentality was naturally very different from before.
When Ishida Mitsunari was around, she had to give him some face. But how could she take him seriously when he first arrived in Dazang Chang'an?
