Benzhuang Zhennai lowered her head and did not dare to look again, her heart was awe-inspiring.
The governor wanted to kill someone, and he was an important minister.
Politics is not a fight, where you punch each other if you disagree. What should you do if you want to eliminate a political opponent but don't want to destabilize the political situation?
Those in power will choose to first cut off the political opponent's wings, bribe neutral parties, minimize the negative impact, and finally kill her.
Uesugi Teruhora wants to kill someone, so she first spends tens of thousands of dollars to throw money at the new Uesugi retainers and the Nagao clan. Then who does she want to kill?
Honjo Minoru had the answer in her mind, which made her heart beat faster.
Can tens of thousands of guans be exchanged for the lives of a few important ministers? Yes, but the consequences will be endless.
As long as they don't target the Wu family group itself, it's not a problem for the Ji warriors to kill a few people they don't like.
If the family governor spends tens of thousands of dollars on people every year, there are many Wu family members who are willing to line up to die.
In this barren island country, human life is really worthless, and the interests of the Wu family group are the most important.
Like a long-tailed sect.
The height of Echigo stone is 400,000 stone. Including various special products and resources, the mobilization force is about 600,000 stone, which is 60 reserve troops and about 15,000 troops.
Among them, the new Uesugi retainers regiment in Joetsuchuetsu has about twenty-five reserve troops.
Among the twenty-five reserve teams, there are three long tails and one sect as the core, and there are about four to five hundred Ji warriors from the common people.
Most of these Ji warriors are at the bottom, and less than one-tenth of the warrior families have knowledge and practice of more than 500 shi.
The grassroots Ji samurai with more than a dozen titles and salary not only had to support their families, but also had to provide their own military supplies, and their lives were extremely difficult.
What will happen to your family if you die in battle without getting back a few shi Zhixing? If you die, you will have nothing to eat.
Maeda Maeda is an example. Her mother was a bastard of the Takikawa family, and her father died of starvation after the war.
She was lucky enough to be adopted by Maeda Riku who came to visit, otherwise she would have starved to death.
Even the middle-level warrior Ji with a salary of 500 koku has a difficult life. He carefully maintains his family business, but accidentally falls into the dust.
What does it mean to them that Teruhora Uesugi gave them 10,000 to 20,000 copper coins?
Regardless of their status, every Ji warrior can receive at least one year's salary. They have to save this money themselves, and they may never be able to save it.
With this money.
Their husbands don't have to live without food and clothing after they die in battle. They either die in poverty or take their children and remarry someone else.
After they die in battle, their children can use the money to grow up smoothly until they have the strength to pick up the sword and be rewarded by the public.
All the Nagao clan had to pay was to keep their mouths shut when Teruhora Uesugi hacked Nagao Masakai to death.
How to choose between your husband and daughter and the governor of the Ueda Nagao family? No Hime Samurai can make the wrong choice.
If the family governor dies, just create another one. What's the big deal? As long as the family's interests are not damaged and the big boss is happy, that's fine.
If Teruhora Uesugi is willing to spend money, he can kill a Ueda Nagao family governor every year for fun, and the Nagao family will do it themselves without mercy.
In the eyes of the Nagawei community, the political situation of Nagawei is really not as important as these tens of thousands of dollars.
In the same way, the same goes for Usami Sadami.
Usami, who has offended the governor, can be kicked out of the game as long as the price is right.
My heart is as cold as ice, every martial artist can be discarded, but I can't see that I can afford the price.
If Terutora Uesugi was really willing to pay this price, the fate of the two of them is self-evident.
Thirty to forty thousand guan was enough for six or seven reserve teams for a year. Terutora Uesugi was really jealous and determined to kill these two bastards who hindered her pursuit of Shiba Yigen.
Although in the face of long-term interests, the Echigo samurai did not want Uesugi Teruhora to seduce Yoshihiro Shiba.
But she spent too much money! Then just collect the money and let it go for a few days. Only a fool will have trouble with the money!
As for Nagao Masakei and Usami Sadamitsu, please go all the way, we will remember their loyalty to the Uesugi family, woo woo woo.
Honzhuang Shina broke out in a cold sweat, she completely understood the governor's thoughts.
Kill people to kill people, use the most violent method to express your attitude, and use the blood of important ministers to frighten those who advise you.
But this approach is too extreme.
It is true that the governor of a family can take the lives of important ministers through bribery. The lives of the Wu family have a price, and they can be killed if the benefits are sufficient.
But human nature is greedy, and this incident will plant a seed of fear in the hearts of high-level warriors, making them understand that they will be killed at any time by the middle- and lower-level warriors and family governors.
This will deprive them of their sense of security, which is not conducive to the longevity of the family business and the return of retainers.
Rulers need a stable political pyramid to control the lower levels, rather than destroying this structure.
Honjo Minoru hesitated for a moment and then advised.
"Your Highness, the amount of these proceeds is too large. Can you consider transferring it to a private treasury to make reserves for future wars?"
She didn't dare to directly advise her, so she could only find a roundabout reason.
Teruhora Uesugi looked at her with a cold expression.
"My Lady, you and I are both teachers and friends. You know very well what kind of character I am. Have you noticed that I don't drink much recently.
Do you know why? Because I have more important things to do."
To her closest Naoomi, Uesugi Teruhora patiently said a few sincere words, she said.
"I have a goal. I want the Guandong Plain to be mine. I want to be more noble than the one in Kyoto.
Because I want to marry Sibo Yiyin, I want to have children with him, and I want our children to become the most noble people in the world!"
Honjo Shino no longer dared to listen anymore. She put her head on the tatami and knelt down to worship.
Teruhora Uesugi walked up to her, leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"My lady, please help me. I promise you a lifetime of wealth and endless blessings for your descendants."
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Honjo Shino understood it very well.
If you don't help her and continue to speak for those who cause trouble, you are Uesugi Teruhu's enemy. Let's die together.
Teruhora Uesugi chose a thorny road, advancing or retreating. Either he succeeded in reaching the summit, or he was shattered to pieces.
How can Honjo Minoru choose? It is impossible to object!
Even if there is no hope of going to Luo, with Terutora Kamisugi's ability and Echigo's current situation, he can still give it a try to dominate Kanto.
Benzhuang Shinai grabbed the ground with his head and said.
"I am willing to die for His Highness!"
Terutora Uesugi nodded and said.
"Send the copper coins and the notice.
I will send a letter to Qiyoshi City to warn Nagao Kagenobu about her ineffectiveness in guarding Nagao Masaki, and order her to stay and reflect."
This village was really shocked.
It was impossible for both the Chinese and Vietnamese Nagao families to move, so they ordered Nagao Kagenobu to be banned. This was to protect her, lest she be implicated by the other two and fall into a crisis.
Let’s talk about Teru Uesugi again.
"The governor of the Ueda Nagao family, Masaki, was found to have participated in the Sino-Vietnamese rebellion and had evil intentions. He was imprisoned in Sakado Castle and is awaiting punishment!
Usami Tingman has no way to teach her son, but Usamina-kun does not care about honor and integrity, and wants to cling to her, causing rumors to spread. Let her give me an explanation!"
