Nagao Masakei's Sakado Castle is the gateway from Echigo to Nishi Ueno, and its location is extremely important.
Being able to serve as the lord of the city here shows that the Ueda Nagao family is indeed important to the Nagao family in the mansion, but Nagao Masaki is not willing to be a watchdog.
In order to control the Echigo Kingdom, Uesugi Teru's mother formed an alliance with the Chinese and Vietnamese Nagao families.
She married the son of the Fushi Nagao family, and then married her son to the Nagao Masakei of the Ueda Nagao family, and the three families formed an alliance through marriage.
With the passing of his ancestors, Terutora Uesugi became close to his father's family, the Fushi Nagao family, but alienated the Ueda Nagao family where his brother married.
After he conquered the north and south and consolidated his position, the Ueda Nagao family became increasingly marginalized, which gave Nagao a sense of crisis.
It was only a matter of luck that she would be instigated to rebel.
Once Uesugi Teruhora died abroad, as her brother's wife, Nagao Masakage could definitely join the Nagao family in the step-house.
Although she is rebellious today, maybe in the near future, she will be the master of Echitsu and even Echigo.
With this undue greed, Nagao Masaki joined the ranks of the rebels.
However, Nagao Kagenobu of the Fushi Nagao family remained unmoved, leaving her with a knife in her throat.
Nagao Masakae found out awkwardly that she would not have dared to send troops to besiege Toruo City without the Yangbei army pressing down on the border.
Who knows whether they will be attacked from both sides by Honjo Sano from Tobi Castle and the old fox from the Fushi Nagao family, and be defeated first.
In desperation, she had no choice but to curse and wait obediently for the Yangbei people to cross the river.
———
To the east, Nagao Masaki was cursing, but to the west, Big Bear Chao Xiu was helpless.
She didn't want to rebel, but she was forced to endure it no longer.
The Okuma family is the retainer of the old guardian Uesugi family, and is mainly engaged in internal affairs such as tax collection.
After Chuetsu was captured by Uesugi Terutora's mother, she surrendered obediently along with her followers.
The ancestors killed the Echigo guardian twice, and the Yamauchi Uesugi family lost the Echigo kingdom. Their necks were not as strong as a knife, so everyone had to keep their heads down.
The faction of former ministers who had already surrendered did not want to cause trouble and only hoped to survive in China and Vietnam. But after Uesugi Teruhu came to power, everything changed.
After the death of his ancestor, Terutora Uesugi did not immediately succeed to the throne, but came to China and Vietnam to seek support from the Fushi Nagao family.
Then he entered Toroo Castle and served as the lord of the city. After stabilizing the gate of Joetsu, he succeeded him as the lord of Echigo.
From this series of operations, it seems that this person is not a good person, and Daxiong Chaoxiu is ready to continue to be his grandson.
Especially when Teruhora Uesugi returned to Kasugayama Castle, Honjo Sano served as the lord of Tomei Castle, allowing Okuma Asohide and her to evaluate various domestic affairs between China and Vietnam.
At first, Daxiong Chaoxiu was very grateful, but gradually, she felt that something was wrong.
In order to stabilize Chuetsu's rule, Uesugi Teruhora continued to entrust his allies and banners to Chuetsu. Naturally, these people were in tandem with Honjo Minoru.
This is nothing at all. It is common for the samurai family to get together. They are all close confidants of the lord, so there is nothing wrong with forming a party, but the worst thing happened to Uesugi Teruhora.
There are often disputes over water and land in various territories. Everyone has to eat. I have one more bite and you have one less. It is normal for them to quarrel.
It has existed in the past, and it will be inevitable in the future. Generally, this kind of affairs is a matter of peace and mud, and each side settles the matter by making thirty big moves.
But after Honzo Minoru became the judge, all the judgments were more and more biased towards Akira and Hatamoto!
This is too much, just occasionally. How can other people live their lives when everything is like this?
As the representative of the old ministers of China and Vietnam who protects the old ministers of China and Vietnam, Daxiong Chaohide must appeal to Uesugi Teruhu.
But Terutora Uesugi's temper was impatient with these chores, and he also had a protective and arrogant character.
Not only did she protect Honjo Minano in person, she also mocked Daxiong Chaoxiu verbally, saying that she was fussy and complained like a man.
Because the Lord was sidetracked, the Sino-Vietnamese troops were even more aggressive, making it unbearable for the old ministers to protect themselves, and Daxiong Chaoxiu was even more disgraced.
Since the master doesn’t give him a way to survive, no one wants to live in vain!
It happened that when Uesugi Terutora left the country, the Takeda family sent people to connect various families, and Daxiong Chaohide simply rebelled against her father!
Although raising troops made sense, Daxiong Chaoxiu was still filled with desolation and didn't know what to do.
Wu family society is not unreasonable, and the biggest reason is to have a big fist.
Daxiong Chaohide knew that he was no match, but he still raised his troops resolutely. It turned out that Uesugi Teruhu bullied others too much, so he had to fight back.
She tried to contact Takahiro Hojo, who she had a good relationship with. When the other party learned that all parties were launching an attack, he was immediately moved and started to rebel.
For a time, rebellions broke out all over the Lower and Central Vietnam, and war broke out everywhere.
———
Tomi Castle, Castle Tower.
Honzhuang Shina pinched her nose helplessly. There were two distinct factions in the meeting hall, sitting on the left and right, which made her feel desolate in her seat.
She was the first to join Uesugi Teruhora's command, and even taught him the art of military strategy when he was young. She was both a teacher, a friend and a subject, and was deeply trusted by him.
As the lord came to power, Honjo Minoru took on a more important task, stabilizing the rule of the Nagao family in the central and Vietnamese areas.
Teruhora Uesugi's Joetsu only accounted for less than 30% of the land population of Echigo country, and was able to control the entire Echigo, all thanks to the support of the local samurai families in China and Vietnam.
But this kind of support came at a huge price, with benefits constantly being given to the two Nagao families, and the old ministers being protected by force.
After ruling for many years, Uesugi Teruhu was still unsure about whether he was loyal to the Sino-Vietnamese region.
In order to improve this situation, after she came to power, she promoted Honzo Minoru, a close confidant, as the Lord of Tomei City, and jointly managed the Sino-Vietnamese government affairs with Daxiong Chaoxiu.
It is said that the two are juxtaposed, but in fact the power is in the hands of Honjo Sano, and Daxiong Chaohide is just a cover to appease and protect the old ministers.
Uesugi Terutora's original intention was to entrust the trustworthy samurai close to Hime to Nakagoshi.
The method of adding sand was used to slowly change the composition of the martial arts in the Sino-Vietnamese region, so that the martial arts in China and Vietnam gradually turned closer to the master family.
But the bad thing is that Uesugi Teruhora doesn't understand people's hearts and overestimates the integrity of his subordinates, or the samurai family themselves don't have that kind of thing.
She was enfeoffed side by side, and she and low-level bannermen came to China and Vietnam, and immediately began to unite to suppress the local forces.
Not only did he take over the territory given to Andu by his lord, but he also infringed on the interests of the local military family and caused a lot of chaos.
It’s not that I don’t want to treat you fairly, it’s just that I can’t do it.
She herself is a close associate of Terutora Uesugi, and these Samurai Hime who are working together to cause harm are all her colleagues and subordinates.
The Wu family is unreasonable, and these people are all looking at her!
If you don't help your own people, your prestige will be damaged. How can you take these bastards out to fight in the future?
She was unlucky. If any bastard got mad and stabbed her in the back on the battlefield, others would still pretend they didn't see it!
The battle formation was ruthless, and only back-to-back battles had a chance of survival. He offended all his comrades and subordinates, and even started a p-battle.
Benzhuang can only help her relatives but not take care of her. She betrays the interest group she belongs to. The cost is too high and she really can't do anything.
In the face of interests, the Wu family is unreasonable!
After showing partiality for the first time, she had no choice but to do the rest.
If you help this colleague, can you help that subordinate? It’s better to offend them all than to favor one and the other!
So, once, twice, countless times.
These bastards were arrogant and went too far, until Okuma Asahide couldn't bear it and appealed to his lord, but was met with contempt and ridicule by Uesugi Teruhu.
I really remember the scene at that time clearly.
Daxiong Chaoxiu, a gentle and restrained political warrior, was so angry that he was trembling all over. He gritted his teeth and stood in the middle of the scene. He was surrounded by malicious intentions, which made the whole hall laugh and his face was swollen.
At that time, all the principal ministers were laughing heartily, but only Benzhuang had a cold heart. It was over, and the hearts of the old ministers in China and Vietnam were gone.
Da Xiong Chao Xiu did not choose to commit seppuku to wash away the shame. Honjo Minano was sure that she would rebel!
But so what if you know? This Echigo country wants to rebel, but it still needs her!
But she didn't expect that this wave of rebellion would be so violent. It would be launched from the southeast, northwest, and east at the same time, turning her Tonglewei City into an isolated island in the storm, struggling to hold on.
She glanced coldly at the warrior Hime on the left. Saito Asanobu and Teru Uesugi were sitting in the front, followed behind by the Samurai Hime from all over China and Vietnam.
Although these people had solemn faces, there was no hesitation or hesitation in them.
They are die-hard loyalists of Terutora Uesugi. Although they are the ones who did the bad things in China and Vietnam, these bastards really spare no effort to support their lord.
Sitting on the right are the Chinese and Vietnamese people who did not participate in the rebellion. Most of them were whispering and with twinkling eyes.
I don’t know how many of them dare not rebel, how many are internal responses, and how many are prepared to surrender.
Daxiong Chaoxiu rebelled against him, which is really ridiculous.
She was born in the old guardian family, and her subordinates were all public servants responsible for internal affairs. A group of tax collectors were forced to rebel! How unreasonable!
Honjo Shino felt bitter in her heart. She couldn't believe the Chinese and Vietnamese soldiers who came to help defend them. But what if she didn't believe them?
Teru Uesugi's side flags were originally loyal, but the number was too small. If she wanted to defend Tobi Castle, she needed to use the Chinese and Vietnamese troops on both sides of these snakes and rats.
Honjo Sano looked to the left, you bastards, it was you who messed up China and Vietnam.
Look at the right side, bastard, there must be insiders and capitulationists here.
Finally, he sighed, his subordinates are all bastards.
