Chapter seven hundred and sixty-ninth rule is to take the blame
Terutora Uesugi mentioned this matter because he was afraid that it would affect the negotiations between Shiba Yigen and Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Destroying a temple and killing nuns was a taboo, so how could Master Xianru tolerate it after learning about it.
Sibo Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head, having no idea.
He didn't know how Master Kianjo would react, but he couldn't stop the actions of the two retainers of Uesugi Jinbo.
When it comes to personal interests, these red-eyed warriors can't control so much. Even if they are strictly stopped, these temples will catch fire inexplicably, and the nuns will die inexplicably.
The foundation of the rule of the samurai family is these greedy lower-class samurai families. Even though the third generation of Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitsu was extremely powerful, he was helpless when encountering this kind of thing.
The imperial power of China does not go to the countryside, and the Japanese generals have no control over the villages. The local servants kill people and set fires.
The other side of the powerful people is actually the one who takes the blame, and Yoshigina Shiba is determined to take the blame. The only thing he can do is to appease Honganji Kenru and compensate her in other ways.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"I hope Master Xianzu will calm down and don't get really angry, otherwise the Hokurikudo will never be peaceful again."
Even if you give benefits, others must be willing to take them! The temple is the basis for the sect to exert its influence. When encountering something like this that shakes the foundation, Shishan will probably not compromise. This matter is difficult to handle.
Terutora Uesugi thought for a while and said.
"Either I step forward to suppress the retainers and protect these Yixiang sect temples?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"It's impossible to keep it. You are willing to suppress the retainers, but the Divine Protection Officer will not do this.
The Jinbo family has been harassed a lot by the Ezhong Ixiang Sect, and they are not willing to leave internal troubles in the territory.
The Chief Divine Protector will definitely take action, and even if he agrees to it, it will be perfunctory. Afterwards, he will use the excuse that he cannot control the martial arts under his command to frustrate us.
Her warrior Ji has started to take action. Can the people on your side not be jealous? They will definitely follow suit.
We can't expect these guys to take care of the overall situation, so we can only find ways to eliminate this hidden danger on the part of Master Xianru.
I will write to the Honganji Temple and explain that we are sending troops to Hokurikudo only to maintain stability. The war is chaotic, and it is absolutely unintentional to affect the temple.
Then he wrote to Akechi Mitsuhide and Takada Yono, who had some contacts with Ishiyama Honganji Temple, to see if they could be of help.
The war started after the spring plowing. No matter how fast it is, it will not be until mid-summer when Master Xianru learns that the monastery in Yuezhong has been destroyed. We still have time, let the nearest parties try their best to find a solution.
If that doesn't work, we can only give the Hokurikudo Ichiku clan a severe blow. At least we must beat them until they are so chilled and fearful that they dare not cause trouble again within two or three years. Even the master's decree and the instigation of the Ichiku clan are useless."
Directly saying that destroying temples and killing nuns will definitely not work, Master Xianru is shameless! But it is possible to put the blame on the war, and it depends on whether Master Xianru is willing to relent and pretend to be confused.
As long as she is willing to swallow this breath, both Uesugi Teruhu and Shiba Yigen are willing to compensate her, even a little more, as long as they don't make a big deal out of it.
The best strategy is to fight violence with violence. Kill one thousand enemies and inflict eight hundred losses on yourself. The losses in the aftermath will not be small either.
Yoshigan's chest was tight, and Terutora Uesugi also felt that he was losing face. What if he became a big boss? The rule of the samurai family was chaotic, and even they could not really control the grassroots, and they often had to take the blame.
Fortunately, both of them are used to it, and they can laugh at themselves, so they have to live this miserable life. Don't feel wronged, the real superior person is so helpless.
The so-called strategic overall situation and playing chess on the stage are not esoteric and difficult to understand. Excellent leaders must understand that the most important thing in governing is to control people.
You must clearly figure out who is your base, who can be sacrificed, and who you have to protect.
The elite at the upper level must understand what the grassroots think and what they can give, and guide the lower class to move in the direction they want. Only in this way can a stable system be established to maintain authority and continue their rule.
The two of them were almost talking, when Terutora Uesugi suddenly waved his hand and said sheepishly.
"It's not urgent. I want to ask you something first.
Ina Chuji, whom you sent to the Second Public Tax Refund Review Committee, wrote a three-year water conservancy plan for the Echigo Plain. Have you read it?"
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi and saw that she had an embarrassed look on her face, and he chuckled a little impatiently.
"Well, what? Are you so annoyed that you can't stand it anymore?"
Teruhora Uesugi sighed, touched his cheek and said.
"No, it's been annoying me to death lately.
I thought it would be enough to get rid of Naoe Keizuna, but everyone would always talk about this matter in a roundabout way in the name of visiting me. My family's Ji samurai often drew knives in private for this, which gave me a headache."
Yiyin said coldly.
"Is the law of the Wu family just left to be read? Is it enough to punish the crime by making noise and failure, or does it mean that no one is in charge of the Uesugi family anymore?"
Teruhora Uesugi's face turned red. Yoshigan was referring to Sang scolding her.
Her temperament is the most troublesome to deal with these general affairs. She opened her mouth today because she wanted to confirm a bottom line with Yiyin, so that other families would not test her all day long and cause trouble.
Teru Uesugi said with a smile.
"That's not the case, you misunderstood.
I just think that forcing cows to drink water is useless against these bastards. Making some concessions and leaving some room is also for the sake of long-term peace and stability."
Yoshihiro didn't want to hear this. The fact that Uesugi's retainers were in such bad shape had a lot to do with Uesugi Teruhora's impetuous management and lack of patience with common affairs.
He glanced at Teru Uesugi and became angry.
"It's rare that His Highness Uesugi has learned to be considerate and gentle towards his servants. Since you asked for mercy, it's hard for me to refuse.
But please give me some advice.
Each family under the Uesugi family occupies about 30% of the land and population of Echigo, but they want to take away 80% of the money and food repaid by the second father-in-law. How should we give in?
Give 90%? Or simply let them take it all."
Uesugi Teruhu lost his temper when he saw Yoshigage, and he was indeed at fault, and began to sweat on his head.
"Don't be angry. I'm just asking. There's a bottom line, so I can refuse."
The more Yiyin thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't even care about the etiquette of the Wu family. He didn't even want to use his yin and yang, and started to curse people directly.
"How do you think you have spoiled the Uesugi retainers? Is there anyone who is such a governor?
I shouldn't be dictating the Uesugi family's internal affairs, but the two families' joint attack on the Kanto Plain has a bearing on the overall situation. Please forgive me and I'll say a few more words.
Nagao Masaki and Usami Sadaman will kill you happily.
But the two Nagao families are blood allies of the Nagao family in the mansion. If you change the Nagao family to the Uesugi family, you must protect their minds after killing people.
The old guardian line was originally managed well by Usami Nobuhiro, because of your attack. The Kashiwazaki clan, which was originally divided between the Mouri family and the Usami family, was almost entirely controlled by Moori Kagehiro.
The Yamamotoji family is a branch of the old guardian Uesugi family. You suppressed these people too harshly in the past, but now you can only appease them to show Echigo's unity.
Naoe Keizuna is cunning and cunning, but she represents the members of the family who have worked for the Nagao family in the mansion for many years. It is difficult for you to suppress them because of your troubles.
Honjo Minoru, Kakizaki Keie, Saito Asanobu, Naoe Mikami Hatamoto behind them, and the Nagao clan, these cronies who started their careers in the military have deep feelings for you, and you don’t want to punish them.
Okay, how do you control the Uesugi family? Whoever cries louder will get an extra bite? If they cry together, you will give them all the benefits?
Then, when the other Echigo samurai families can’t stand it anymore and start a rebellion, you’ll go to quell it? Haven’t you had enough of putting out fires here and there?”
Yoshigage clapped his fingers and talked about things one by one, scolding Uesugi Teruhora until he couldn't lift his head. Seeing how she was pretending to be dead, Yoshigage was furious.
Apart from fighting, this guy really made a mess in everything else. But just because he was so awesome in fighting, he insisted on suppressing Echigo and becoming the boss.
This ability also impressed Yiyin very much, and he was so impressed that his scalp went numb.
