Chapter three hundred and forty-eight intensification
Tiantai Sect emphasizes the integration of the four sects and is relatively tolerant of the secular world. Even if Takeda Harunobu becomes a monk, it will not prevent her from marrying a husband and having children.
It's just that the depth of her calculations makes people shudder.
Takeda Nobushige was in awe and continued to ask.
"Since Kaga Ichika Munano is planning to cut off the Hokurikudo shogunate's support for Echigo.
So the way to stop Nagao Kagetora's return is Echu?"
Takeda Harunobu nodded.
"Yes, the Jinbo family has long been dissatisfied with the Nagao family's encroachment on Echu. The Shiina family has good relations with the Nagao family, which puts too much pressure on the Jinbo family.
In the past, when Nagao Kagetora crossed the border from Ezhong, he must have used the channels of the Shiina family to pass quietly.
As long as I send a messenger to inform Jinbo Nagasaki of this matter, she will definitely ambush Nagao Kagetora to avoid future troubles."
Takeda Nobushige also agreed.
The situation in Vietnam and China was complicated. At the beginning, the Hatakeyama family protected the four countries. Among them, apart from Kawachi Kii and the other two countries, the other two were Hokurikudo and Noto Vietnam and China.
In Echichu, the Hatakeyama family arranged a system of three guardian generations, and the three families assisted the Hatakeyama family in managing Echichu, namely the Yusa family, the Jimbo family, and the Shiina family.
Later, the Hatakeyama family declined and lost Yue China. The situations of the three families were also different.
The Etchu Yusa family had bad luck and was attacked and destroyed by the Ichikki clan, and their territory became an extension of the Kaga Ikki clan to Etchu.
The Shenbao family was also destroyed in the war. As a result, a generation of heroes who left the post of Godbao continued to revive the family business and are now the most powerful samurai family in Vietnam.
The Shiina family was weak and their territory was close to Echigo. They had good relations with the Nagao family and became a support for the Nagao family to encroach into Echigo.
In these years, under the suppression of Honganji Temple Shogyo Master, the Ichiko sect no longer exported Ichiko to the outside world, but only occupied the territory of Kaga Echuchu.
The main war in Vietnam was the war between the Jinbo family and the Nagao Shiina family.
The Nagao family's rule in Echigo was not stable, and they needed to continuously expand their territory to acquire the clan of retainers.
Looking around, it becomes clear that China, which is suffering from endless civil strife and is extremely weak, is a soft persimmon that needs to be pinched.
So over the years, the Shenbo family has been beaten to pieces.
It would be strange for the Jinbo Nagazaki to not be moved when he received the news that Nagao Kagetora had borrowed a way to return to his country.
The Nagao family's lower level overcomes the upper level, and the country becomes unstable.
If Nagao Kagetora died outside, the Echigo Kingdom would inevitably fall apart, and the Jinbo family's troubles would be gone.
Before Nobuhiro finished savoring this train of thought, Harunobu spoke slowly again.
"Yangbeizhong has been quiet for some days. Was it because he was defeated by Nagao Kagetora?
I think most of them don't know about Nagao Kagetora's departure from the country, so I sent a messenger to tell them.
Let’s see if the Yangbei people who consider themselves loyal are still bloody?”
Takeda Nobushige laughed. My sister's methods were endless, and they were so cruel that Nagao Kagetora might feel very uncomfortable.
The instability in Echigo's country stemmed from the Nagao family's control over their superiors and their expulsion of Echigo to protect the Uesugi family.
There are two main forces in the country, one is the Echigo Three Branches and the Nagao Branch, and the other is the Yangbei Zhong.
The Echigo Nagao family is one of the Bando Hachihei clan, and they are hereditary guardians of Echigo.
As the first generation of imperial family members during the Kamakura shogunate period, the Nagao family flourished and there were three branches of the Nagao family in Echigo.
Three of the Nagao families have hereditary Echigo guardians, also known as Fuchu guardians and Fuchu Nagao clan.
The remaining two branches are the Fushi Nagao family and the Ueda Nagao family.
Nagao Kagetora is the governor of the three Nagao families, the guardian of the mansion, and the guardian of Echigo, who actually controls the Echigo country.
The Fushi Nagao family is the family of Nagao Kagetora's father, and they were also the first family to stand up to support her.
When the Ueda Nagao family was conquering the upper class, they stood on the side of protecting the Uesugi family. After the war, they reached a compromise and surrendered.
The three Nagao clans accounted for nearly half of Echigo's power, while the Yangbei clan accounted for 30 to 40%.
Echigo can be divided into upper etsu, middle etsu and lower etsu.
Joetsu Kasugayama Castle is a Sanjo Nagao household castle located in the Takata Plain.
Irrigated by the Arakawa River, the land is fertile, making it the essence of Joetsu and the foundation of the Sanjo Nagao family.
The Shinano River crosses Central Vietnam, and its outlet is close to the Agano River. The two rivers nourish the Echigo Plain along the way.
The Echigo Plain divided by these two rivers is divided into relatively independent Shimotsu and Central Etsu, of which the north of the Agano River is Shimotsu.
Guzhi County in Central Vietnam is the birthplace of the Guzhi Nagao family, but her family is not very strong.
The strongest force in China and Vietnam was the Ueda Nagao family, which occupied Sakado Castle, an important town leading to Ueno.
The Shimogoshi samurai family north of the Agano River are called the Yangboku clan, and they are an alliance of local samurai who are loyal to protecting the Uesugi family.
When the Nagao family defeated the superiors, the Yangbei clan stood on the side of protecting the Uesugi family and fought several fierce battles with the Nagao family before finally surrendering as a last resort.
Since then, there have been rebellions for many years, and Nagao Kagetora's mother and herself have suppressed the Yangbei people.
And due to various reasons, it is impossible to take heavy measures to eradicate them.
The Yangbei people are not convinced either verbally or mentally by the rule of the Nagao family, and they occupy 30 to 40% of the Echigo land, which is the biggest hidden danger in the country.
Once they learn that Nagao Kagetora has left the country, most of these Kanto Princess warriors will raise their flag of rebellion again and start a fight.
Anyway, Nagao Kagetora didn't dare to do anything to them, and he wouldn't blame everyone. Even if he failed, he would be punished with three drinks of wine, and he would not do it again.
Takeda Nobushige applauded his sister's plan.
In just a short while, without mobilizing the Takeda family's own power, Harunobu had already caused several waves of trouble for Nagao Kagetora.
The Yi Xiangzong cut off the shogunate, and the Shenbao Changzhi blocked the return journey, causing internal rebellion in the Northern Kingdoms.
Even if Nagao Kagetora returns home safely, he won't be able to care about other things for the moment, so he must put down the rebellion first.
With the Hojo family overwhelming Nishi Ueno, the Takeda family was determined to win the Northern Shinano strategy after spring plowing.

Kyoto, Odai.
The Grand Imperial Palace is admiring the tea master's performance and preparing to taste it.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki opened the door and walked in with a cold face.
Waving her hands to repel the tea man who was bowing to the ground, she asked sadly and angrily to the Odaisuo who looked at her calmly.
"Father, why do you do this?"
Da Ootaisuo looked at her coldly and said.
"for you.
Do you think that if you treat yourself like this, he will be moved? That he will fall into your arms?
You should also know that if the shogunate is shut down, he will not be the most anxious one.
By doing such a stupid thing, you are forcing me to bow down!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned red.
The last time I met my father, we parted on bad terms. The Grand Imperial Palace refused sternly and did not allow Yoshiyoshi Shiba to marry into the Imperial Palace.
She has nothing to do with the Sibo Yiyin, and her father is also resentful. What can she do?
This emotional idiot thought of hurting herself to impress others. In the end, it was her father who felt sorry for her.
The Oitaisuo is much calmer than the general who is confused and confused.
He clearly realized that Shiba Yiyin would never be moved by the general's actions and would only choose to remain silent.
Then there are only two results faced by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
One was that under pressure from all parties in the shogunate, he was forced to hold a review, and his prestige was damaged and he became depressed.
One is to insist on not holding a review. During the spring plowing time, the shogunate left Kyoto on their own, and the relationship between the Ashikaga family and the shogunate existed in name only.
Both of these results are extremely unfavorable to Ashikaga Yoshiteru. As a father, how can he endure his daughter stepping into the abyss and remain indifferent.
He must take action to force Yoshigan Shiba to break his silence and reach a compromise with Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
