Yigen felt bad, so he got up and wanted to go out to explain, but he couldn't open the door. The voice of Yamanaka Yukimori came from outside the door.
“I’m sorry, Lord, it’s just my random thoughts that make you bother to appease me.
I know you are just trying to comfort me, but I am really happy, really really happy.
So please don't come out, don't tell me, it's just a joke.
I beg you, don't say it, I understand. "
The two of them were separated by a paper door, and Yiyin touched the door panel with his palm.
Outside the door, Yamazaka Yukimori held the sliding door tightly with his hands, leaning on his back and lowering his head. There were drops of water on the ground.
Yiyin shook his head, walked back to the desk, sat down, and started doing business. After looking at it twice, he became frustrated and threw the document back, cursing in a low voice.
"This idiot."
Yamanaka Yukimori raised his head. Although he was crying, he had a bright smile on his face.
She is really happy.

The council meeting continued the next day.
The Hime warriors of each family calmed down for a night, and each had their own judgment on the changes in Echigo's political ecology, and gradually accepted the emergence of dual rule.
Empowered by the guardian system, Uesugi Terutora inherited the guardianship of Echigo from the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and governed the Echigo country.
With the imperial sword's order, Yoshihiro Shiba re-established the Kato Imperial Palace and commanded the Echigo imperial family under the imperial family system.
The two sides carefully share power, like two hedgehogs approaching slowly. They want to get as close as possible, but they must maintain a safe distance without hurting each other.
With two dark circles under his eyes, Naoe Keizuna presented to his lord the internal affairs strategy he had written overnight.
Uesugi Teruhu took it and looked at it for a few times, then handed it to Shiba Yiyin. She couldn't bear the temper of these government affairs where every penny was worth.
Yiyin looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nodded.
"Naoe-sama has worked hard and his strategies are very popular with me. I can use this to promote green hemp cultivation, refund public taxes and other policies.
Big Bear Chao Xiu. "
"Hi!"
Daxiong Chaoxiu quickly kowtowed to the ground, Yiyin said.
"You are responsible for the government affairs in the palace. I will hand over the recent business matters from the Shiba family to you. You and Naoe-sama will be responsible for taking care of the general affairs."
"Hi!"
Daxiong Chaoxiu was overjoyed, this was a fat mistake.
Yoshigami turned back to Uesugi Teruhu and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi, what do you think?"
Uesugi Teruhora stared at Yoshigin, who had annoyed him yesterday, with a dignified and cold expression, keeping his distance.
Uesugi Teruhora smiled and said.
"Okay, Naoe Keizuna, you will be in charge."
"Hi!"
Yoshigan looked at the smiling Terutora Uesugi, and couldn't get angry at her. She treated him really well, and she gave him everything he asked for.
Echigo country is divided into three parts, and Joetsu is the private land of the Uesugi family. It is impossible for Yoshigan to reach out and find it unhappy.
In order to prevent Yoshihiro from not knowing how to advance or retreat, the new Uesugi retainers rushed to prepare and submit the strategy overnight, because they were afraid that the master Teru Uesugi was obsessed with sex, did not know the importance, and betrayed the interests of the Joetsu samurai family.
However, the Yi Bank also recognized this strategy, and all the political initiatives he proposed were met, which was equivalent to sharing Nakagoshi Etsu with Uesugi Teruhu.
Today, Yiyin already owns the management rights of Zhongyue Xiong Chaoxiu and Shimoyoshi Honjo Shigecho related to Ji Samurai.
Although nominally under the imperial family system, it was actually Uesugi Teruhu who took the initiative to give in and transfer these powers to him.
Coupled with the fact that Tochio Castle was the imperial palace, Yoshigan Shiba finally gained a firm foothold in Echigo. Although the control is still very weak, he still has control over the territory of more than 100,000 stones.
As for how to further train the two forces of Daxiong Chaohide and Honjo Shinchang so that they can be used for their own purposes, it depends on the implementation of the profit-sharing policy and the methods of Shiba Yiyin.
He thought for a moment and said.
"Naoe Keitsuna and Okuma Tohide are both responsible for the reform and good governance. After all, they are a little busy. How about adding an adjutant to each of them to assist and liaise?"
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
"It's true that we are too busy. Let's do this. Naoe Kanetsugu, you are responsible for assisting Naoe Keetsuna."
Naoe Kansu fell to the ground and kowtowed to receive the order.
She is Naoe Keizuna's daughter-in-law, and the two have a close relationship. He is also familiar with Yiyin Shiba, so communication with the Shiba family is not prone to trouble.
Yiyin thought for a while and looked at one of the Shiba warriors.
"Ishida Mitsunari."
"Hi!"
Ishida Mitsunari did not expect that his master would mention him, so he bowed to the ground in panic.
Yoshigami looked at her back, silently thinking that Todo Toraoka once said that this Samurai Hime was good at internal affairs and logistics.
When he first came to Echigo, although he didn't believe that the big bear Chao Xiu dared to do things behind his back, there was nothing wrong with sending someone to keep an eye on him.
When Yiyin went to Kanto, the Ji warriors he brought with him were all capable of conquering and fighting, but when it came to domestic affairs, things were bad.
Ishida Mitsunari followed along and experienced a series of fierce battles. This girl was lucky and made it over alive.
With the feeling of war, and the thought that she has nothing to do with the Kanto samurai family, she is a good role to play as a supervisor.
Yiyin said.
"You work with Daxiong Chaoxiu and serve as her adjutant."
"Hi!"
Ishida Mitsunari was ecstatic, a great good thing happened to her, and it was worth going through life and death all the way to Kanto.
She has a lot of experience in internal affairs, and she has long seen that the Kanto Palace has a bright future. It is the authority for Yoshihiro Shiba to control the Shiba sect of Ji warriors in Kanto.
She, a low-level samurai warrior with the lowest salary, was able to participate in the high-level exchanges between the Shiba Shangshan family and her family. It was really a step forward.
Ishida Mitsunari bowed to Daxiong Chaohide, but the other party did not dare to show off, so he bowed in return, which turned out to be a reciprocal etiquette.
The Wu family values rules and clearly distinguishes between superior and inferior.
Da Xiong Chao Xiu returned the favor to a junior samurai from the Shiba family, which seemed to be self-deprecating, but was actually very smart.
After all, she is an outsider, so the imperial office must be on guard against her secretly doing things, and it is only natural that she should have her trusted followers installed.
Ishida Mitsunari is said to be an adjutant, but in fact he is also a supervisor. His evaluation of Daxiong Chaoxiu can be heard directly. How dare she despise him.
With the confirmation of the four responsible persons, the cooperation between the Sibo Shangshan family and the two families has been carried out smoothly. What follows is the tedious general affairs of sorting out the internal affairs, which the two masters do not need to worry about.
The Ji warriors who participated in the review were all excited, because the establishment of the power mechanism meant that profit sharing and good governance were about to be rolled out.
No matter what the outcome of going overseas to fight in the future, at least for the time being, each family can get a lot of benefits first.
In particular, the Yangbeizhong headed by Honjo Shigenaga looked at Nakajo Fujisuru proudly.
They did not need to bow to Uesugi Teruhu, who bullied them, but they got enough benefits. It was a wonderful result.
Nakajo Fujizi had no expression on his face, but he sighed in his heart.
This time they failed to suppress Honjo Shibunaga, and the divisions among the Yangbei clan became more obvious. Two factions have been formed internally, the Uesugi faction and the Shiba faction.
The leaders of the two factions looked at each other and looked away. The days are long, so let’s look for opportunities later.
———
A review was a great time for the chief ministers to enjoy themselves, and the civil strife in Echigo came to an end.
After everyone left, Yoshigami was about to discuss the follow-up affairs with his Ji Samurai, but an urgent news came, and Uesugi Teruhu asked him to meet him at the station outside the city as soon as possible.
Yoshigan's heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous premonition. He hurriedly led people to the Uesugi Teruhora shogunate outside the city.
Terutora Uesugi looked hesitant. She handed the military newspaper to Yoshigami and frowned.
"Beixin is lost."
"What!"
Yiyin was shocked, took the military report, read ten lines, and finally sighed.
"What stupid guys."
Teru Uesugi sneered.
"you do not say."
Yoshigami felt sad and had nothing to say to the martial arts family of Shinano Kingdom.
Shinano Country is divided into four areas: Minami, Chushin, Toshin, and Hokushin. There are many mountains, and the domestic area is distributed in an inverse Z shape.
At the bottom is Nam Shin.
It is connected to the Three Rivers, Tokō, Hida, and Mino countries, but the country is remote and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Only the Kiso Valley area can be considered a large-scale force.
The Kiso family is entrenched here and has been defeated by Takeda Harunobu. The Takeda family has no intention of engulfing Minami, and only requires the Kiso family to surrender and become vassal.
Then came CITIC.
The richest areas in Shinano Country are the Hokushin Nagano Basin and the CITIC Suwa Basin. CITIC has been taken over by the Takeda family.
There are high mountains between CITIC and Beixin. The only way to mobilize the army is to borrow the road from Dongxin, and follow a reverse C shape from CITIC, Dongxin, and Beixin.
Dongshin is a famous horse-producing area, and it leads to Ueno in the east and connects to the Kanto Plain. This important three-way intersection area is a battleground for military strategists.
When the Takeda family conquered this place, they conquered the Shino clan, the Umino clan, the Nezatsu clan, and the Mochizuki clan, who had thrived in the area for hundreds of years.
The Umino family had been beaten away long ago, and the other two families surrendered. Takeda Harunobu successfully captured Toshin and peeked at the only remaining Beishin.
The Hokushin Murakami family is known as the General of Shinano. It is a prominent family in Shinano country that has existed for hundreds of years. It has been fighting with the famous local Takanashi family for many years.
Because Takeda Harunobu coveted Hokushin, the two sides put aside their previous differences and joined forces to fight against the enemy. They also made external alliances with Echigo Uesugi Teruhora and Nishi Ueno Nagano Yamasa, which should have been impregnable.
It had only been a few dozen days since the spring plowing ended, so how come Takeda Harunobu quickly captured Hokushin?
