"When the Shinto Nagasaki launched an attack on my family, you turned to the Echigo Nagao family for help, and the retainers all gave their full support.
But Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) led his troops eastward, and what did he do?
We sent troops and food services to support her attack, but the territory she conquered was entrusted to her own vassals.
They also took away the cities along the way, praising their names, to ensure the safety of the back road.
The only way out is my Shiina retainer, what on earth is she going to do!
I also gave you the Nagao Kage Ichimen as my adopted daughter. Do you really want her to succeed you as the family governor? Let the Shiina family become the Nagao family Ichimen?"
Shiina Yasuyin lowered his head and said nothing, his face gloomy.
Ezhong is divided into three parts, the Shiina family's Shinkawa County is in the east, the Jimbo family's Fufu County is in the middle, the Eshui County is in the middle, and the Xiangzong clan's Tonami County is in the west.
After the Yixiang Sect turned to internal governance and stopped invading from outside.
As the governor of the Jinbo family, he crossed the Kamtsu River eastward, built Toyama Castle, and attacked the Shiina family.
Shiina Yasuin could not resist and asked for help from the Echigo Nagao family. Nagao Kagetora had just succeeded to the throne and put down the civil strife.
Just when he was in need of benefits to bribe his subordinates, a persimmon came along.
She took advantage of the situation to invade Yuezhong, conquer the territory of the priesthood, appease the ministers, and achieved many things with one stone.
Although he was satisfied with his ambition, he never thought that his wanton behavior had already caused Shiina Yasuyin's dissatisfaction.
Tsunemitsu Koma is a follower of the Yixiang Sect and is determined to open up a new Buddhist land for the Yixiang Sect in Xinchuan County.
She sensed Shiina Yasuyin's concerns and took advantage of Uesugi Teru's opportunity to come to Luo to offer suggestions to prevent the robbery.
Shiina Yasuyin hesitated.
"What if she dies? What should we do if the Echigo warriors come to take revenge?
And how can we stop the position of divine protector?"
Xiaoma Changguang was overjoyed, and the family governor was moved. Her hesitation was only due to fear of revenge and the fact that no one in the Shenbao family could control it.
She said firmly.
“The Nagao family is not in good shape, and it is only through the violent suppression of Nagao Kagetora that domestic peace is maintained.
Once she dies abroad, Echigo will immediately split into several pieces and kill each other, so there is no need for Your Highness to worry.
In addition, the Yonshui Temple, Jixing Temple, Jinchengbo, and Daitoku Temple in Shinkawa County are all willing to help the family governor to resist the invasion of the Jinbo family."
Shiina Yasuin was horrified. These temples were branches and subordinates of Honganji Temple. They had expanded wantonly in Shinkawa County over the years. She was not strong enough to restrain them.
It turns out that Koma Tsunemitsu has already believed in the Ichikai clan, so no wonder he tried his best to persuade her to use the power of the Ichikai clan to get rid of the control of the Nagao family.
This is to reject the wolf through the front door and let the tiger in through the back door.
Koma Tsunemitsu continued to persuade.
"The Yixiang Sect only seeks faith, and all territories are left to the local martial arts families to take care of.
The Shiina family is the guardian of Ezhong, and their ability to control is justifiable, and they have no intention of robbing your territory.
I just hope that by spreading the faith in your territory, all sentient beings will be safe, and that you will not be invaded by external enemies, and there will be less internal chaos."
Shiina Yasuyin's heart was pounding.
The Yixiang Sect has indeed good control over its believers. The leaders of Kaga Yikui suddenly transformed into local lords and city lords, and they no longer had the trouble of being rebelled by the people.
If he had taken refuge in the Ichigo Sect, the Ichigo Sect in the Northern Riku Road would be so powerful.
Externally it can resist the counterattacks of the Jimbo family and the Nagao family, and internally it can appease the people.
For the Shiina family in the precarious situation, it is beneficial and harmless.
The most important thing is to remove the thorn in the flesh of Nagao Keinao, so that the Shiina family's bloodline will be pure and will not become a branch of her people.
She said, having made up her mind.
"Introduce me to those Buddhist temple abbots and ask Nagao Kage to come directly to Matsukura Castle to meet me. I miss her a little, so let's keep her here for a few days."
A trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes and she spoke slowly.
"At all passes, please pay attention to the teams coming from the east. If you encounter His Highness Nagao Kagetora returning, please come to Matsukura Castle to talk about it."
———
Kaga, Kanazawa Plains, Oyama Gobo.
Kaga is separated from Echizen to the south by the Daihi Mountain. To go east to Echichu, you have to cross the Ryobai Mountains, and to go north through the Kanazawa Plain and enter the Noto Peninsula.
On the Noto Peninsula, only the road leading to the Kaga Kanazawa Plain is flat and easy to enter and exit.
Because the land route from Etsuchu to Hoda Hills is inaccessible, the Kaga direction has become the most important land route in Noto country.
Kaga is surrounded by mountains on many sides, with the coast to the northwest. The long Kaga Plain is the most important grain-producing area in the country.
In particular, the Kanazawa Plain close to Noto is a strategic location that penetrates Vietnam, China and Noto.
Ichikō Sect Motoyama decided to build Oyama Gobo in Kanazawa to further strengthen his control over Kaga Ikkō Sect.
The ancestor Zhengru sent the nun Qili Laizhou to come to Kaga to supervise the construction of the imperial palace and integrate the Kaga Yixiang sect.
Now that the royal palace has been built, Qili Laizhou is becoming more and more uneasy.
After autumn last year, news came from this mountain that Master Zhenru was feeling unwell and lingering on his bed.
She comes from a very low background, she is just a green servant of this mountain. She has no allies in Shishan Royal Palace. She only has the status she has today because of the kindness of the Dharma Master.
As an emperor and a courtier, once it is confirmed that Master Ru has passed away, and it is unpleasant to see her appearing in a superior position, what should we do?
However, at this time, she had no intention of caring about the future. A few days ago, Honganji Temple issued an order to investigate Uesugi Teruhora's passing through Kamilakus.
In fact, not only did Ishiyama Gobo, who was far away in Settsu, not know about it, she also didn't know about it, and she needed Motoyama to be held accountable before she could understand.
Out of anger, she could only bear the blame.
Should she tell Benshan that she can't control the leaders under her command? Then she will be worthless!
She looked at the leaders from various places who came to Yufang to participate in the review, with fear in her heart, and her eyes were filled with anger.
"I know that some of you are collecting gold. There is gold from the Nagao family and gold from the Takeda family. I know."
She looked at the leaders of the group who made innocent faces, looked at them one by one, and yelled angrily.
"I don't care who of you collects the gold, just stop it!
The feud between the Wu family is left to their own devices. The Master of the Law ordered Yi Xiangzong not to participate in the fight between the Wu family. Are you going to disobey the law?"
She was helpless against these followers, and less than 30% of her followers truly obeyed her.
The leaders of the Ichiku clan, who can do whatever they want with the help of the Ichigo clan, are the real main force of Kaga country's military. This is the shortcoming of the sect.
When it comes to fighting, the nuns can't do it, so they have to rely on these opportunistic nuns.
And the situation in Kaga is complicated. The three branches of the eight-generation Buddhist priest who stayed in Kaga are four or five generations apart from the main temple of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and their blood ties have become estranged.
Although the three temples were in decline, the people who had relied on them only superficially obeyed the nuns sent by the mountain and secretly treated them negatively, which gave her a headache.
Apart from verbal threats, Qili Laizhou had no better way to deal with them.
While she was making a furious look, someone in the audience suddenly sneered, attracting everyone's attention.
She frowned, she must kill the chicken today to scare the monkeys, otherwise she will be even more lawless in the future.
