The main body of Japan is Honshu Island.
It is like a mountain rising from the sea, standing in the sea, and Shinano is its top
Seen from the sky above Japan, Shinano is the center of the central mountainous area, and the mountains extend out in all directions.
Like countless branches, it spreads in all directions, dividing Honshu Island into countless small plains, basins, and hills.
The two most important ones are Settsu, Izumi, the Osaka Plain around Hanoi, and the Kanto Plain where the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto are located.
Further south, Kyushu, Shikoku, and the Western Kingdom became rich with maritime trade, but they lacked the most important land and population in the feudal era.
The Mutsu-Dewa area further north is vast and sparsely populated due to the cold.
Even with the Sendai Plain, the largest in Japan, it was difficult to develop further in ancient times when there was a lack of heat sources and fuels.
As a result, the Osaka Plain in Kansai and the Kanto Plain in Kanto occupy the largest cultivated land and population in Japan.
It is also the key to deciding who will rule the whole of Japan, Kanto and Kansai.
The Echichu area where Yoshihiro and his team were trapped is northwest of Shinano. The Echigo-Echu border is the intersection of the Hida Mountains and the Echigo Mountains.
Vietnam is covered with hills, and on the plains near the coast, many rivers flow toward Toyama Bay.
Rivers and mountains are obstructed, and the road is not smooth. A few passes can trap people.
The grassroots of the Wu family were in chaos, but as long as they controlled the access channels, Yiyin and his party could not secretly cross Chencang.
Shangshan Teruhu thought silently, her footing in Echigo was unstable, and she always prioritized stabilizing the hearts of the people in the country.
In order to win over the military families under his command, he took in all the results of the war in Yuezhong to reward his retainers.
It seems grand, but in Shiina Yasuyin's eyes, this is generosity to her. Is it too much?
Now that I think about it, I thought I was the savior of the reinforcements and did things like Meng Lang, which left hidden dangers for today.
At this point, I only hope that Shiina Yasuyin will abide by the covenant. When she returns to Kasugayama Castle, she will make adjustments to ease her relationship with the Shiina family.
Yiyin is not optimistic about this.
The oath of alliance is just a piece of waste paper to the Wu family. What really binds both parties is the interests.
Although the Uesugi family is in a strong position in the alliance, Teru Uesugi is too intimidating.
A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and a rabbit jumps over the eagle in a hurry. Shiina Yasuyin may not be a soft persimmon who can be bullied casually without saying a word.
The samurai were afraid of power but not virtue. Normally, because Uesugi Teruhora was in Echigo, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Now that he is alone, how can he ensure that Shiina Yasuyin is honest and does not show his teeth?
You really don’t know how to behave!
Yiyin glared at her, speechless, and swore secretly in his heart.
In the future, when the two parties cooperate, political matters cannot be left to Uesugi Teruhu, and must be checked for her, otherwise not all the samurai families in Kanto will be able to offend her alone.
This political idiot, she thinks very highly of herself and looks down on those martial artists who keep their heads down and act small.
How can we get their support if we ignore their interests and concerns?
Japan’s geographical characteristics are scattered and fragmented, and its political ecology is characterized by enfeoffment and sinking. It is simply impossible to adopt a centralized dictatorship.
The only correct approach is to win over the small lords and share the profits with them to form a Wu family group with consistent interests.
Terutora Uesugi's arrogant character, who doesn't care about other people's demands, means that even if he defeats all the invincibles in the world, he still can't stabilize his family fortune of more than one million koku.
Yi Gin asked a little upset and looked at Uesugi Teruhu.
"How do you want to break through the Jinbo family's blockade?"
Speaking of military affairs, Terutora Uesugi's eyes suddenly lost their confusion and shone with confidence.
“Spring plowing, waiting for a breakthrough in spring plowing time.
The chief minister wanted to trap me in Yuezhong, but she couldn't stop her subordinates from carrying out spring plowing.
The Yuezhong clan's territory has not been completely sealed off yet, and my family's business is only difficult, but it is not as completely eliminated as the Jimbo family's territory.
He bribed the nuns here with a lot of money and repaired for a few days to recover from the fatigue of the journey.
When the spring plowing starts in a few days, and every family is busy with this matter, the gaps in the fields will become larger.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he galloped through Fufu County.
Even if the Chief Divine Protector calculates my route and blocks it with military strength, she doesn't have much standing troops at her disposal and can defeat it in one battle. "
Yiyin thought about her tactics carefully and nodded.
Terutora Uesugi failed in politics, but he was indeed good at fighting and had a ruthless vision.
Spring plowing was the most important production activity in ancient times. It was related to the harvest of the year. Who dares to take it lightly?
With the sound of spring thunder, everything on the earth revives, which is called Jingzhe. It is the time when spring returns to the earth and every second counts.
The military lord's control over the countryside was already weak.
If it weren't for the rugged terrain in central Vietnam where hills and rivers intersect, and there were only a few accessible roads, how could Yi Bank and his party be trapped here.
The chief minister's function only controls the key passes and cannot control the grassroots level at all.
The so-called blockade is just a matter of calculating the pass that Uesugi Teruhu must pass.
When the spring plowing comes, will her warrior Hime and Ashigaru return to the village to farm? Will you still eat this year? Mobilization power will inevitably shrink.
The elite sixty-year-old warriors of Shiba Shangshan's family could not handle a mobilization force of more than 100,000 koku.
However, it is still possible to use off-the-job reserves directly under the jurisdiction of the lord, and the number of standing units will not be very large.
Yoshigan felt a little relieved, nodded silently, and said to Naoe Kanetsugu on the top of his shirt, Teruhora.
"Kanetsuji, contact the business here to prepare accommodation and supplies for us.
Gold is not a problem. I will be repairing it here for a few days. As long as the nuns nearby are willing to accept the offerings, the incense money will make her porcelain solid. "
"Hi!"
Yoshigan shook his head and was speechless. It was great to have money. He glanced at Nobutsuna Kamizumi who was standing aside.
She was calm and composed, completely ignoring the quarrel between the two, which was quite impressive.
———
The long-term residence of the gods is in the castle, and the castle tower of Toyama Castle is located there.
The Chief Divine Protector closed his eyes and meditated in his seat, silently.
She is in her twenties, her pretty face looks a little tired, and her tail lines are faintly visible at the corners of her eyes.
too difficult.
Jinbo's family fell into decline. When her mother was defeated and committed seppuku, she lost almost all her capital.
When the family was in ruins, loyal ministers appeared. Fortunately, the Jinbo family treated her kindly. She, the widowed daughter, was raised by important ministers, which was how the Jinbo family made a comeback.
With the help of her ancestor Yu Ze, she raised troops to revive her family business after serving in the Yuan Dynasty. Her old ministers joined her one after another and occupied the two counties of Sheshui Fufu, and she was very high-spirited.
The Chief Divine Protector overcame all objections and crossed the Kamtsugawa River to build Toyama Castle.
It is to kill the Shiina family that has been entangled for many years, swallow up Shinkawa County, and realize the ambition of the Jimbo family to unify Ezhong for generations.
Who would have thought that Shiina Yasuin, a coward, would ask for help from the Echigo Nagao family, lead the wolf into the house, and beat her into a state of panic.
If Toyama Castle had not been fortified, she would have followed her mother's old path of committing seppuku and committed suicide, and the Jimbo family would have fallen again.
A few days ago, she received news from the Takeda family that Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) secretly went to Kyoto to seek the post of Kanto Governor, which scared her to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Even when Echigo was in an unstable state, the woman was beaten to pieces.
Once she has stabilized the country and has Echigo's huge capital of 400,000 koku, what will she do to fight for her position as the chief priest?
Could it be that the Jimbo family's dream of unifying Ezhong will always be just a fantasy?
She is not willing to give in, she wants Nagao Kagetora to die!
