Tiantai Sect pays attention to the integration of the four sects and is relatively tolerant of the secular world. Even if Takeda Harunobu becomes a monk, it will not prevent her from marrying a husband and having children.
It's just that the depth of her calculations makes people shudder.
Takeda Nobushige was in awe and continued to ask.
“Since Kaga Ichika Munano is planning to cut off the Hokurikudo shogunate’s support for Echigo.
So the way to stop Nagao Kagetora's return is Echu? "
Takeda Harunobu nodded.
"Yes, the Jinbo family has long been dissatisfied with the Nagao family's encroachment on Echu. The Shiina family has good relations with the Nagao family and puts too much pressure on the Jinbo family.
In the past, when Nagao Kagetora crossed the border from Ezhong, he must have used the Shiina family's channels to pass quietly.
As long as I send a messenger to inform Jinbo Changji of this matter, she will definitely ambush Nagao Kagetora to avoid future troubles. "
Takeda Nobushige also agrees.
The situation in Vietnam and China was complicated. At the beginning, the Hatakeyama family protected the four countries. In addition to Kawachi Kii and the other two countries, the other two were Hokurikudo Noto and Vietnam and China.
In Echu, the Hatakeyama family arranged a system of three guardian generations, and the three families assisted the Hatakeyama family in managing Echichu, namely the Yusa family, the Jimbo family, and the Shiina family.
Later, the Hatakeyama family declined and lost Yue China. The situations of the three families were also different.
The Etchu Yusa family was unlucky and was attacked and destroyed by the Ichikai clan, and their territory became an extension of the Kaga Ichibuki clan to Etchu.
The Jinbao family was also destroyed in the war. As a result, a generation of heroes who left the post of Godbao Naga revived the family business and are now the most powerful samurai family in Vietnam.
The Shiina family was weak and their territory was close to Echigo. They had good relations with the Nagao family and became a help force for the Nagao family to encroach on Echigo.
In recent years, under the suppression of Honganji Temple Shogyo Master, the Ichiko sect no longer exported Ichiko to the outside world, but only occupied the territory of Kaga Echuchu.
The main war across China was the war between the Jimbo family and the Nagao Shiina family.
The Nagao family's rule in Echigo was not stable and they needed to continuously expand their territory to acquire the clan of retainers.
Looking around, it becomes clear that China, which is suffering from endless civil strife and is extremely weak, is a soft persimmon that needs to be pinched.
So over the years, the Shenbo family has been beaten to pieces.
It would be strange for Jinbo Nagazaki not to be moved when he heard that Nagao Kagetora had borrowed a way to return to his country.
The Nagao family's inferiors overcome the superiors, and the country is unstable.
If Nagao Kagetora died outside, the Echigo Kingdom would inevitably fall apart, and the Jinbo family's troubles would be gone.
Before Nobuhiro finished savoring this train of thought, Harunobu spoke slowly.
"Yangbeizhong has been quiet for some days. Was it because he was defeated by Nagao Kagetora?
I think most of them don't know about Nagao Kagetora's departure from the country, so I sent a messenger to tell them.
Let’s see if Yangbeizhong, who considers himself loyal, is still bloody? "
Takeda Nobushige laughed. My sister’s methods were endless, and they were so cruel that Nagao Kagetora might feel very uncomfortable.
The instability in Echigo's country stems from the fact that the Nagao family suppressed their superiors and expelled Echigo to protect the Uesugi family.
There are two main forces in the country, one is the Echigo three branch Nagao branch, and the other is the Yangbei clan.
The Echigo Nagao family is one of the Bando Hachihei clan, and the Echigo guardian generation is hereditary.
As the first generation of imperial family members during the Kamakura shogunate period, the Nagao family flourished, and there were three Nagao branches in Echigo.
Three of the Nagao families have hereditary Echigo guardians, also known as Fuchu guardians and Fuchu Nagao clan.
The remaining two families are the Fushi Nagao family and the Ueda Nagao family.
Nagao Kagetora is the governor of the three Nagao families, the guardian of the mansion, the guardian of Echigo, and the actual control of Echigo country.
The Fushi Nagao family is the family of Nagao Kagetora's father, and they were also the first family to stand up to support her.
When the Ueda Nagao family was trying to defeat the superiors, they stood on the side of protecting the Uesugi family. They reached a compromise after the war and then surrendered.
The three Nagao clan accounted for nearly half of Echigo's power, while the Yangbei clan accounted for 30 to 40%.
Echigo is divided into upper etsu, middle etsu and lower etsu.
Joetsu Kasugayama Castle is a Sanjo Nagao household castle located in the Takata Plain.
Irrigated by the Arakawa River, the land is fertile, making it the essence of Joetsu and the foundation of the Sanjo Nagao family.
The Shinano River crosses Central Vietnam, and its outlet is close to the Agano River. The two rivers nourish the Echigo Plain along the way.
The Echigo Plain divided by these two rivers is divided into relatively independent Shimotsu and Central Etsu, of which the north of the Agano River is Shimotsu.
Guzhi County in Central Vietnam is the birthplace of the Guzhi Nagao family, but her family is not strong.
The strongest force in China and Vietnam is the Ueda Nagao family, which occupies Sakado Castle, an important town leading to Ueno.
The Shimogoshi samurai family north of the Agano River are called the Yangboku clan, and they are an alliance of local samurai who are loyal to protecting the Uesugi family.
When the Nagao family defeated the superiors, the Yangbei clan stood on the side of protecting the Uesugi family and fought several fierce battles with the Nagao family before finally surrendering as a last resort.
After years of rebellion, Nagao Kagetora's mother and herself suppressed the Yangbei Zhong.
And due to various reasons, it is impossible to take heavy measures to eradicate them.
The Yangbei people are not convinced either verbally or mentally by the Nagao family's rule, and they occupy 30 to 40% of the Echigo land, which is the biggest hidden danger in the country.
Once they learn that Nagao Kagetora has left the country, most of these Kanto Princess warriors will raise their flag of rebellion again and cause a scene.
Anyway, Nagao Kagetora didn't dare to do anything to them. Even if you fail, you will still be punished by drinking three drinks. This will not happen next time.
Takeda Nobushige applauded his sister's plan.
In just a short while, without mobilizing the Takeda family's own power, Harunobu had already caused several waves of trouble for Nagao Kagetora.
Yi Xiangzong cut off the shogunate, and the chief minister of the gods blocked the return journey, causing internal rebellion in the northern states.
Even if Nagao Kagetora returns home safely, he won't be able to care about other things for the moment. Let's put down the rebellion first.
With the Hojo family overwhelming Nishi Ueno, the Takeda family was determined to win the Northern Shinano strategy after the spring plowing.
———
Kyoto, Yutai.
The Grand Imperial Palace is admiring the tea master's performance and preparing to taste it.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki opened the door and walked in with a cold expression.
Waving her hands to repel the tea man who was bowing to the ground, she asked sadly and angrily to the Odaisuo who looked at her calmly.
"Father, why do you do this?"
Da Ootaisuo looked at her coldly and said.
"for you.
Do you think he will be moved by doing this to yourself? Will I fall into your arms?
You should also know that if the shogunate is shut down, he will not be the most anxious one.
By doing such a stupid thing, you are forcing me to bow my head! "
Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned red.
The last time I met my father, we parted on bad terms. The imperial court sternly refused and did not allow Sibo Yiyin to marry into the royal palace.
She has nothing to do with Sibo Yiyin, and her father is also disgusted. What can she do?
This emotional idiot thought of hurting herself to impress others, but in the end it was her father who felt sorry for her.
The Odaisho was much calmer than the general who was so worried.
He clearly realized that Shiba Yiyin would never be moved by the general's actions and would only choose to remain silent.
Then there are only two results faced by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
One was that under the pressure of all parties in the shogunate, he was forced to hold a review, and his prestige was damaged and he became depressed.
One is to insist on not holding a review. During the spring plowing time, the shogunate left Kyoto on their own, and the relationship between the Ashikaga family and the shogunate existed in name only.
Both of these results are extremely unfavorable to Ashikaga Yoshiteru. As a father, how can he endure his daughter stepping into the abyss and remain indifferent.
He must take action to force Yoshigan Shiba to break his silence and reach a compromise with Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
To do this, he would do anything.
