Chapter 359 Commentary

 As the night gets darker, the food in the meeting hall is just an appetizer.

Later, Akechi Mitsuhide became fierce, and he and Yoshihiro returned to the dormitory to have a lingering relationship for seven scenes, and had a tumultuous relationship with the master whom he had admired for a long time until he was exhausted.

Yoshigan was almost frightened to death by her. Mitsuhide Akechi, who was known for his elegance in the past, now looked like a beast.

As if swallowing prey, his eyes were shining with light, he was mumbling in his throat, but he didn't know what he was talking about, and his movements were too rough.

Afterwards, Yoshihiro fell into a deep sleep, and Akechi Mitsuhide was also exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep.

Caressing the master's cheek, he carefully brought his own face closer, kissing her greedily and cautiously, like treating fragile porcelain.

She felt happy and sad at the same time.

The Lord finally gave it to her and used his body to buy her.

In the heart of the Lord, I, Akechi Mitsuhide, must be just a beast. Every time I give advice, it is just to humiliate him, torture him, and defile him.

With a sigh, she put her head on Yiyin's chest, closed her eyes, and listened to his strong heartbeat.

Lord, I will guard the surrounding lands for you, cut off all obstacles for you, and...

Kill the general.

You cannot understand my actions and are afraid of my cruelty.

You may hate me or even kill me, but Mitsuhide Akechi, I really love you, my lord.

I love you, Shiba Yiyin.

The next day, the shogunate review was held.

Although the warriors were prepared, they did not expect Ashikaga Yoshiki to make such a quick decision.

Yesterday, everything was still unknown. Today, the review was held, and there was no time for private communication. It was really unprepared.

At the meeting, Sibo Yiyin’s strategy regarding the changes in the Sanhao and Liujiao families was lamented by everyone.

He is worthy of being Lord Kenshin, the Ashikaga Military God, and a truly reliable samurai.

His analysis is good, and his response is even more appropriate. He will naturally receive support from various parties, and the shogunate will allocate its influence to work together.

Stay vigilant with the Sanhao family, and give orders and suppress the Rokkajia family.

In the eyes of everyone, because of the vigilance of the Asai family, the Rokkaku family's conspiracy was exposed in advance.

With the shogunate taking the lead and the Shiba Asai family working together, suppressing the Rokkaku family is a sure thing.

Later, Uesugi Teruhora was received by the general, who recognized her identity as the adopted daughter of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.

Granted the status of a companion of the shogunate and allowed Uesugi Kensei to transfer the Kanto governorship to her.

The shogunate has the status of assessment members and accompanying members, and bestows gifts on martial arts families.

The Appraisal Public is given to the internal martial arts of the shogunate, such as ministers, who can participate in the evaluation of the shogunate's affairs.

The accompanying people gave the local powerful warriors a chance to express the shogunate's approach to win over them.

The Echigo Kingdom where Terutora Uesugi is located belongs to Kantō in a broad sense, but in a narrow sense it is not the Ten Kingdoms of Kantō directly under the jurisdiction of the Kantō Shogun.

The Kanto Governor is the second-in-command of the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto under the Kanto General.

In this way, Terutora Uesugi finally got the long-awaited status, and could justifiably command and launch a strategy on the Kanto Plain.

Later, Yoshigami came out and was granted the status of envoy by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and followed Uesugi Terutora to Echigo Kingdom.

The imperial edict was issued to express the shogunate's support for the new Kanto leader Terutora Uesugi.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was buzzing with murmurs.

Unexpectedly, at the moment of the sudden change in the six corners, Duke Qianxin would leave the immediate area and go far away.

Everyone still didn't know that Yiyin planned to conquer Kanto, so they thought they were just leaving for a few days, and then returned to peace after making a few noises.

Only Fujitaka Hosokawa sat in her seat with a cold face, and she had already noticed something was wrong.

Terutora Uesugi looked at Yoshigin lying on the ground and taking orders, with a complicated look on his face.

Although he had already guessed in his mind, Yiyin really wanted to follow her to Kanto, but he was still shocked by his ruthlessness.

He put aside his family fortune, jumped out of his hometown, and traveled to Kanto to find a new territory. What a domineering man he was, and he embarrassed those cowering Ji warriors to death.

And last night, a piece of news spread throughout the samurai families in Kyoto. The Ashikaga family's ritual of receiving color had entered the Shiba mansion, and Uesugi Teruhu felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.

Before everyone could digest the news that Kennobu had left Echigo, Ashikaga Yoshiteru announced that an inspection of the shogunate's territory would be carried out.

They also reduced the territory of the wall-mounted shogunate during Miyoshi's invasion, and built Nijo Castle as a new shogun's palace.

Inspecting the land and confiscating the new fields secretly opened by the ministers, confiscating the territories of the opportunistic ministers, and building a new imperial palace on the surface was actually to accumulate armaments.

The three axes used by Ashikaga Yoshiteru to take over power made the ministers dizzy, and no one paid attention to Kenshin Lord's campaign to Kanto anymore.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's target this time was the political office that manages the shogunate's contributions and local donations. The power is in the hands of the deacon Ise family and the acting official Ninagawa family.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru had been suppressing the Ise family and supporting the Ninagawa family before. She wanted to seize the interests of the shogunate group headed by the Ise family.

Originally wary of the power of the Hojo family in Kanto, which was separated from Ise, Ashikaga Yoshiteru hesitated.

But the shogun, who was stimulated by the marriage and intended to rectify the shogunate and revive the Ashikaga family, finally made up his mind and took a ruthless action.

The Hojo family cannot be defeated at the end of Kanto, and the shogunate has expressed its support for Uesugi Teruhora's conquest, so there is no need to be polite to the Ise family.

The shogunate's territory occupies about 350,000 koku in the mountain city and its surrounding territories. Coupled with Kyoto's commercial interests, this is a huge wealth.

As long as Ashikaga Yoshiteru can get 30%, it will be enough to establish his own logistics support to avoid being constrained by the ministers every time he sends troops.

With a certain amount of mobilization power and the support of powerful local factions, the ministers could only passively follow. This was Ashikaga Yoshiteru's plan.

The local powerful factions of Izumi, Kitakawachi, Kitadato, and Iga combined have a territory of four to five million koku.

Coupled with the shogunate's territory and Kyoto's business interests, the shogunate can mobilize more than a million stones, which is enough to hold down the recently restless samurai families.

The previous embarrassment was because the ministers were half-hearted and the local powerful factions were not united.

Now Yiyin has integrated most of the local powerful factions to form a joint force.

If Ashikaga Yoshiteru can suppress the shogunate and capture some territory, his control over the shogunate will be greatly enhanced.

If the two cooperate, the shogunate will not be as embarrassed as before.

However, her actions will greatly weaken the interests of the shogunate and their influence on the shogunate.

They will never sit back and wait to see how the general is divided and disintegrated.

After this incident, all the reviewers were in mixed moods and had no intention of talking about anything else, so they ended the matter in a hurry.

After the meeting, Yoshigami was stopped by Uesugi Teruhora outside the imperial palace.

"Mr. Qianxin, please stay."

Just as Yoshigan was about to mount his horse, he saw Teruhora Uesugi walking behind him and smiled.

"What's wrong with Shangshan Ji?

This is my first time going to Kanto, so I would like to ask for your continued care during this trip."

Teru Uesugi waved his hands repeatedly.

"I can't take it seriously. It's only because I'm under the care of Lord Qianxin."

She was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"Did Mr. Qianxin accept the gift of lottery just to follow me to Kanto?"

Yiyin said calmly.

"If I don't accept it, how dare the Ashikaga family let me out? If you and I collude, will the general still be able to sleep?"

His tone was teasing and he was joking, but Uesugi Teruhu's expression turned ugly.

After a while, she said decisively.

"Shiba Yoshigan, I, Uesugi Teruhora, will never make you regret your choice today."

Although the words were abrupt and without honorifics, Yiyin still understood her excitement and nodded.

"I am looking forward."

As long as you do your job well and complete the system tasks for me, we will be good buddies.

The two bowed and said goodbye.

Teruhora Uesugi looked at Yoshigin's retreating back and unconsciously clasped his hands.

I will conquer the Kanto Plain and make you look at me with admiration. I will propose marriage to the Sibo family in all my glory.

Will never live up to your expectations!
