Honjo Minoru was stunned for a moment after receiving the order from Uesugi Teruhora.
Kasugayama Castle is built on the mountain, with mountains to the west and Takata Plain to the east. Down the mountain is the port of Naoetsu.
Uesugikan is located west of Naoetsu and less than ten miles away from Kasugayama Castle. Uesugi Kensei was taken in by Uesugi Teruhora and fled to Echigo.
After the relationship between the adoptive mother and daughter was established, Uesugi Kensei exhausted Uesugi Teruhu's political use. Instead, her remaining influence threatened Uesugi Teruhu's rule over Echigo.
For the sake of harmony between the two parties, and for Teru Uesugi to keep his promise to avenge her family, Kenmasa Uesugi consciously lived in seclusion and withdrew from Uesugikan.
Since then, Uesugikan has become Uesugi Teruatora's government office. The place where Echigo's decree was issued is also a residence of Uesugi Teruatora.
Honjo Minoru shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was really unseemly for the Lord to give his residence to the Imperial Palace to live in. How would outsiders view it?
Are you afraid that others won't know that you have plans for the general's husband? There may be a green cloud floating over the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
She knew the impact would be bad, but she had to do this.
Terutora Uesugi was not a good-tempered master. Honjo Minoru had just returned to the Joetsu political center and did not want to offend the master for this matter and be kicked out.
She thought for a moment and ordered.
"When the Imperial Guard stationed in Shangyue, the Lord gave orders to treat them with the highest courtesy.
The Uesugikan was re-cleaned and renamed the Imperial Hall, which was used as a residence for the Imperial Palace. "
Her solution was to cover her ears and pretend to be stupid by changing her name.
Everyone knows that Uesugikan is the residence of Terutora Uesugi. The Imperial Palace is the residence of Sibo Yiyin, and it can also be widely advertised.
Once the name changes, there are two places, and outsiders can't tell them apart. Who knows that this is a place that dares to bring trouble to Uesugi Teruhora by talking about it?
Benzhuang is really proud of himself, but I can be regarded as picking myself out of it. In the future, if someone looks for trouble and makes trouble, the master will take care of it and take care of my business.
In this way, Uesugikan was transformed into a palace and became the Uesugoshi residence of Yoshigan Shiba.
Joetsu's new Uesugi retainers looked on with cold eyes, watching Honjo Minoru turning the master's government hall and residence into someone else's residence.
The government offices that issue orders can all be shared, and the implicit meaning once again made them feel threatened, and it was inevitable that there would be an undercurrent.
———
As the war in Hokushin subsided, the Uesugi-Takeda family quietly gathered strength. Prepare to overwhelm the opponent in the next powerful collision and occupy the strategic location of Kawanaka Island.
At the same time, the civil strife in Mino Country has also reached a critical moment.
In the Inabayama Castle Castle Tower, Takenaka Shigeharu broke into the meeting hall. Ando Mamoru glanced at her and continued to read the intelligence documents.
Takenaka Shigeharu suppressed his anger, bowed, and then said.
"Lord Ando, there are rumors that you want to sell Inabayama Castle and bow your head to Isshiki Yoshiryu.
This rumor must be a trick by Yisei Long, aiming to destabilize the morale of our military. Please come forward to refute this statement and severely punish the spreader to serve as a warning to others. "
Ando Mamoru was upset and looked at Takenaka Shigeharu and said.
"You don't have to test me. To tell you frankly, I am indeed negotiating with Isshiki Yoshiryu. I also intend to give up Inabayama Castle and regain peace with her."
Takenaka Shigeharu was shocked and said anxiously.
"Lord Ando! We occupy Inabayama Castle and Isshiki Yoshiryu's escape route is cut off. He cannot hold on for long.
As long as her food reserves are exhausted, the military situation will inevitably be in chaos, and Meinong Country will be in charge of you.
A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile away. At this time, you should grit your teeth and persevere, and never give up! "
Ando Mamoru twitched his face and said bitterly.
"It's because I was bewitched by you that I fell into a desperate situation and was in a dilemma. At this time, you still want to trick me!
You said that if we take over Inabayama Castle, the Nishimeno samurai family will definitely support me and follow my lead, but what about now?
Ujie Naomoto wrote a letter to warn me, and the subordinates suppressed the superiors, which led to civil strife in Mino.
She was good at guarding the border and defending the Nishimino samurai family against the invasion of the Owari and Oda families, looking very righteous! Bah, how shameless!
Inaba Yoshimitsu showed no reaction to my attempts to win over him. He just stood aside and watched the show, waiting for me to embarrass him.
The Ximeno warriors were all waiting and watching. The two of them didn't move, and the others didn't move either.
You want me to persist?
Tell me, how can I withstand the Higashi Mino samurai's offensive alone, and how can I prevent Isshiki Yoshiryu's army from returning to Inabayama Castle? "
Takenaka Shigeharu was dumbfounded. It was she who instigated Ando Mamoru to seize Inabayama Castle.
Isshiki Yoshiryu can let Ando Mamoru go, because she is one of the three Simeon people and has too much influence.
But Takenaka Shigeharu himself couldn't pass the test!
Once peace between the two sides was restored, Ando Mamoru surrendered and evacuated Inabayama Castle. As the initiator of seizing the city, Isshiki Yoshiryu must use Takenaka Shigeharu to scare the monkeys.
Even if Ando Mamoru protects her, he means leaving his life behind. The family fortune of the Takenaka family will definitely not be saved, and the knowledge and deeds of Bodhi Mountain City will definitely be taken away by Isshiki Yoshiryu.
Takenaka Shigeharu choked with tears in his eyes.
"Lord Ando, Isshiki Yoshiryu was negotiating with you because she couldn't hold on any longer, so she chose to give in temporarily.
Once she returns to Inabayama Castle and establishes a foothold, she will inevitably settle the score.
The capture of the city will not succeed this time, and the Ximeno warrior family will be suppressed even more. Be careful, and there will be no chance to turn around.
This is an opportunity not to be missed, it will never come back again, so please think twice! "
After saying that, she fell to the ground and kowtowed.
Ando Mamoru sighed, put down the documents in his hand, stepped forward to help Takenaka Shigeharu up, and said.
"Chongji, I understand your concerns, but I have no choice.
Oda Nobunaga wrote to me, asking to join forces with me to capture Mino. This bastard! At this time, the letter is disrupting the situation. Do I still have a choice?
Once the news leaks out, the Nishimeno samurai family will definitely think that I have a tacit understanding with Oda Nobunaga, and they will not support my actions.
And Isshiki Yoshiryu also had an excuse to attack me. Hineno Hiro has not retreated to the east, raising supplies, ready to respond to Isshiki Yoshiryu at any time.
If I don't reach a compromise with Isshiki Yoshiryu as soon as possible, I'm afraid that both you and I will die without a burial place. "
Takenaka Shigeji felt like he was falling into an ice cave, his whole body was shaking.
Does this bastard Oda Nobunaga have a brain? She is Mino's biggest external threat, and any move she makes will arouse the Mino warriors' vigilance.
She wrote a letter to support Ando Mamoru, which was to put Ando Mamoru on the fire. Faced with external prying eyes, the Mino samurai family must choose to end the internal strife as soon as possible and unite with the outside world.
Ando Mamoru's capture of the city completely lost the possibility of being supported by the Nishimeno samurai family.
Ando Mamoru's approach was not wrong. As for Isshiki Yoshiryu's revenge after he stood firm, he could only go through this level first.
Takenaka Shigeharu's face was ashen. She was unwilling to give in and worked hard to capture Inabayama Castle, but she ended up like this.
But the situation was stronger than the person, and she had to face the reality and bowed to Ando Mamoru.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will no longer persuade you.
I will retire and my sister will take over as the governor of the Takenaka family. Please take good care of me! "
Ando Mamoru felt sad and nodded silently.
Isshiki Yoshiryu will not let Takenaka Shigeharu go. She chooses to leave, which is a good thing for the Takenaka family and herself.
