The Chief Divine Protector made a decision on the position of chief, but the two important ministers did not know the governor's thoughts and were still arguing.
The lord of Fire Palace is Kojima, and the lord of Ikeda is Terashima. Both of them are veterans of the lineage.
Since the time when the chief minister of the gods raised his banner to revive the family business, he has followed him around and is known as the double wall of the family.
At this time, Xiaodao Town is questioning.
“Terashima-sama.
Spring plowing is just around the corner, but the family is going to war over an uncertain piece of news, mobilizing various places to block and search. Is this going too far?
Every family is preparing for spring plowing. At this time, forcing military service and mobilizing manpower are all dissatisfied.
Moreover, it would be an extreme move to wipe out the Nagao family merchants from various castle towns.
Echigo green hemp was a sought-after commodity, and there were also many gold and silver mines, so merchants spent lavishly. If they are expelled, this year's territorial business tax will be reduced by at least 30%. "
Kojima Ozhen was talking about Terashima's position, but his eyes were always on the superior family governor. Seeing that the chief minister was unmoved, he felt sad.
Fire Palace Castle is an important town located on the west side of the Jimbo family's territory, close to the Echu Ichikai clan.
Xiaodao Zhizhen is located in the west, and the divine protection chief has great trust in her, and the king and his ministers are in harmony with each other.
However, the town of Kojima was opposed to the Jinbo Nagasaki crossing the Jintsu River and invading Shinkawa County.
The two counties of Fufu and Sheshui are the traditional sphere of influence of the Jinbao family. Although the Yuezhong Ixiang sect in the west has not launched the Yixiang sect for a long time, it is not without small moves.
The spread of faith and the establishment of temples have never stopped, and they continue to penetrate into the territory of the Jimbo family, which has aroused the vigilance of the traditional samurai family led by Kojima Ozhen.
The most annoying thing is that the Yixiangzong Temple upholds the privilege of not losing anything and seriously infringing on the interests of the Jinbo Retainers Group.
Not being allowed to lose is a privilege granted to nobles and religions by the Emperor's court.
Not losing means not paying taxes and contributions, and not entering means not abiding by national laws and regulations.
During the imperial period, local manor owners were affiliated with the privileged class one after another, in order to seek the right to input less and input less, or even to input nothing at all.
Among them, the manor owners who were married to the emperor's bloodline, Yuanping, formed the prototype of the samurai family.
And the manor owners who sought protection from shrines and temples became part of the religious forces.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu exterminated the imperial court, Shintoism collapsed and disappeared. The Buddhist sect and the samurai family reached a tacit agreement not to interfere with each other, and the privilege of neither input nor input became a mess.
The Wu family was so powerful that they used knives to shout and threaten the temples to pay military and food services.
There are also cases where the sect has always been powerful, expanded its temples, and strictly guarded its privileges.
Faced with the expansion of the non-violent belief of the Echigo Ichiki sect, the Jinbo family really did not dare to deal with it ruthlessly. The Kaga Ichiki sect in Echigo Nishi had a mobilization power of 350,000 koku.
Although Honganji Temple has always been suppressed, what if the samurai family made the first move? Can you still suppress the ambitious leaders of the group?
Faced with the subtle encroachment on their faith by the Sect in Vietnam and China, the conservatives of the Shenbo Family headed by Kojima Jizhen were sitting on pins and needles.
They opposed the chief minister's expedition to the east to attack the Shiina family, and hoped that the family governor would turn his attention to the west and pay attention to the threat from the Ichikai clan.
However, Terajima's territory is in Ikeda Castle in Shinkawa County. She represents the new leader who crossed the Kamtsu River and received the reward of knowledge and practice.
The territories of these retainers were all in Shinkawa County, and they gained a lot of benefits from the war of Jinbo Nagaji against the Shiina family.
For them, Shiina refused to kneel down to beg for mercy and sacrifice her territory to die, but she dared to ask for help from the Echigo Nagao family to repel the Jinbo family.
What an asshole! Why don't you die? Why resist?
The eastward invasion of Shinkawa County was interrupted by Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora), and the Jimbo family was defeated and retreated to Toyama Castle. These people suffered great losses.
After receiving the message from the Takeda family, Terashima Jobada immediately asked to see the family governor, demanding that the border be sealed and Nagao Kagetora killed.
As long as Nagao Kagetora dies in Echichu, something big will definitely happen in Echigo.
The Nagao family relies on force to suppress domestic opposition forces.
Even if Nagao Kagetora simply cannot return to Echigo, the samurai who oppose her in the country will mobilize their troops and launch a riot after the spring plowing.
Echigo had no time to take care of the Echu Shiina family. Taking this opportunity, the Jinbo family could make a comeback and conquer the Shiina family again.
As long as Shinkawa County is swallowed up, the retainers headed by Terashima Shisada will be able to get more rewards, territory, and population.
When Terashima Job was questioned by Kojima Town, he smiled coldly and replied.
“It is an indisputable fact that Nagao Kagetora is no longer in Echigo.
She went to Luo Kyoto to see the general in order to obtain the post of Kanto Governor and completely solve the hidden dangers in Echigo's country.
We must prevent her from returning!
Just imagine last year, when Echigo was experiencing instability in the country, she was able to push my family back. Only with the strength of Toyama Castle could we withstand the attack and get some respite.
Once Echigo is stabilized and we head westward into Echichu with all our strength, will my family still have a way to survive?
The land of the two counties of the Jimbo family is probably going to belong to the Nagao family!
Your Highness! The collapse of your family business is imminent, don’t hesitate! "
Xiaodao Zhizhen was in a hurry and said.
"Even without the threat of Echigo, the Shiina family in Shinkawa County has been a famous family for many years. How can they be defeated casually?
The two families are entangled in the east, and the west is always aggressive. How to restrain them? "
Terashima Jobsada smiled.
"Lord Kojima, what you said is wrong.
The Shiina family asked for help from the Nagao family, but the territory they regained was all taken away by Nagao Kagetora's subordinates as a reward, resulting in heavy losses.
Moreover, the Ixiang sect temples are rampant in the Shiina family's territory. If my family attacks Shiina Kangyin, they are also attacking the Ixiang sect, killing two birds with one stone! "
"Strong words!"
Kojima Ozhen can't beat her, but is the Ichigo clan on the east and west sides the same thing?
To the east, it was the Shiina family's trouble, but to the west, it was encroaching on the traditional territory of the Jimbo family, and her small island town also suffered losses.
If he still wanted to speak, the Chief Divine Protector opened his mouth and spoke.
"That's enough! Stop talking! I've made up my mind!
The mobilization of various companies was terminated and they focused on spring plowing affairs.
I personally led the troops to garrison Ueno Castle and monitor Maseguchi. After watching the Omori River, I don’t believe Nagao Kagetora can fly there! "
The Omori River is located east of the Jintsu River and belongs to Shinkawa County. Although the Jimbo family was repulsed, they still control the land of Shinkawa County to the west of Shiroiwa River.
The Maseguchi of the Omori River is a river crossing that Nagao Kagetora cannot avoid. Ueno Castle is in the shape of a horn to the south, making it easy to monitor the flow of people.
The chief minister of the gods compromised the town of Kojima and stopped the search in Fufu County.
With his own standing army, he concentrated on blocking Nagao Kagetora's inevitable return in the new territory of Sinchuan County.
Although she made concessions out of respect for the will of the conservatives, Kojima Town was not happy.
She glanced at Terajima Shisei who couldn't help but smile next to her, and sighed secretly.
The governor's concession was just to appease the retainers, but her thoughts and strategic intentions remained unchanged.
The chief minister of the gods wants to swallow up Xinchuan County, kill Shiina Yasuyin, and then accumulate power to deal with the Yixiang clan and realize her ambition to unify Yuezhong.
But the whole process was too long. The conservatives led by Xiaodao Zhizhen could only silently endure the erosion of the Yuezhong Yixiang Sect in Fufu County. No wonder she was disheartened.
Kojima Sashimi glanced at the proud Terajima Sashimi, and concluded in his heart that she must be in collusion with the Takeda family and the Ichikai clan.
Ignoring Yi Xiangzong's actions and encroaching on the traditional territory is a betrayal!
The town of Kojima hopes to be friendly with the Nagao family, but it is the family that is always a serious thorn in their side.
She lowered her head and said nothing, and a strange thought arose in her heart.
