Yiyin said in shock.
"How is that possible? It has started to snow outside. Can Xinfa Tian Changdun still march in the snow?"
Japan is so poor that a single farmer often cannot afford a set of linen clothes. Spring, summer, and autumn don't matter, whoever goes out in winter wears clothes.
With such economic conditions, if you go on an expedition in heavy snow, aren't you afraid that a lot of people will freeze to death before you reach your destination?
Honjo Mancho said solemnly.
"Yutai doesn't know everything.
The Echigo Plains do experience heavy snowfall every winter. But there are two points in time when a small number of off-duty elites can still be dispatched.
First, it’s the beginning of winter and the snow hasn’t fallen heavily yet, that is, just a few days ago. Second, it’s the end of winter when the snow stops melting.
I guess that Xinfatian Changdun must have chosen to send troops to attack the city a few days ago. Fake opening the city gate is not an attack on the city, so there is no need to endure the cold outside the city.
With the elite warriors from the Shinbada and Igogongye families, it was easy to capture Kachi Castle, which was defenseless against them.
The Jiadi people might even be overjoyed and take Xinfa Tian Changdun to find the family governor and force her to participate in the rebellion. "
Yiyin couldn't help but shake his head, the Sasaki party was indeed united. But it was because of this that Yiyin was determined to break up Yangbeizhong.
he asked.
"The Takemata family is also a member of the Sasaki Party. Will Takemata Keizuna participate in the rebellion of the Sasaki Party?"
Honjo Nogecho thought for a while and said uncertainly.
"I can't say for sure. The Takemata family has been surrendered to His Highness Uesugi for two generations. Shinbada Choatoshi is so desperate that he may not be able to trust Takemata Keizuna."
Yiyin nodded and asked again.
"You said there are two opportunities to send troops in winter. Since Xinfa Tian Changton wants to take action, he will not miss the second opportunity, right?"
Honjo Mancho said solemnly.
“That’s what worries me the most.
After taking Kachi Castle, the three Sasaki clans and three cities were in a position to compete with each other. Now that the rebellion has begun, they have no way out and can only hold on.
I'm worried that they will take advantage of the winter snow to send troops to Niigatatsu.
Yangbei Zhong is no longer the Yangbei Zhong it used to be. When I started the army at the beginning of the year, Nakajo Toshi and Irobe Katsunaga were no longer willing to send troops to fight His Highness Uesugi.
Now that you, the Odaisho, have straightened out Echigo's interests, everyone is looking forward to going to the Kanto Plain to receive the reward.
Even if there were some Wu family members in Yangbei who were dissatisfied with Shangyue, words alone could not inspire everyone to rebel.
If Xinfa Tian Changdun wants to succeed, there must be more benefits for them. "
Yiyin's eyes narrowed.
"Her target is the gold and silver shipped from Niigatazu from Sado Island?"
Honjo Nobunaga nodded heavily.
"This is the worst case scenario I can think of, but it's probably not wrong. Without enough benefits, the dissatisfied Yangbeizhong will never follow Xinfa Tian Changdun's mischief.
The most important thing is that the right time and place are beneficial to Xinfatian Changdun.
There is heavy snow in the Echigo Plain in winter, and after the snow melts, the roads are muddy and difficult to march on. Only in the days when the snow has stopped, it is convenient to send troops.
If it gets cold again in late spring, the water will freeze in the ground, which will put a heavy burden on farming. Each family was busy with spring plowing and could not respond in time to Shinbada Nagaatoshi who captured Niigatajin.
With this time, she can use gold and silver to buy off the Yangbei people who are dissatisfied with His Highness Uesugi and fight against Uesugi's army after the spring plowing.
And Sasaki Mijō and Niigata Tsu helped each other and blocked the entire central part of Shimotsu. The north and south were torn apart, and the news was blocked.
By that time, neither Nakajo Toshi nor Irobe Katsunaga in the north would be able to communicate with His Highness Uesugi in time, and the opportunity to counter the rebellion would be delayed again. "
Yiyin took a breath of air. After reasoning like this, it is indeed difficult to put an end to the rebellion.
He glanced at Honjo Nobunaga, who was chatting eloquently.
This concubine is indeed talented, and she is familiar with the interpersonal relationships among people in Yangbei and the geographical climate of Xiayue. If we want to quickly put down the chaos in Xinfatian, she is indispensable.
Thinking of this, Yiyin looked at her with softer eyes and nodded.
"It is indeed troublesome. Once the rebellion cannot be quelled after spring plowing, Xinfatian Changton will drag him to the end of autumn."
Honjo Shibunaga shook his head.
“If the chaos in Xinfatian cannot be resolved after spring plowing, it will be even more troublesome after autumn.
With so much military supplies coming to the Aizu area, she must have colluded with the Ou daimyo.
If the spring plowing cannot be quelled, and if the Xinfatian rebellion shows signs of stabilizing, someone will directly send troops to respond. "
Yiyin sneered twice.
The Ou warrior family coveted the land in the south. Whether it was the Kanto Plain or the Echigo Plain, it was the warm south that they could only dream of.
This time their tentacles stretched downwards and downwards, which was also a test. If Shinbada Choatoshi can gain a foothold, a pack of hungry wolves will inevitably be attracted to invade Echigo territory.
Yiyin said coldly.
"It's just Ashina, Date and a few others. As long as we can solve the problem in the spring, we don't have to worry about them.
My Lady Zhuang, what you said is very good. It seems that you have studied hard.
I originally thought that this battle would have to be postponed until after the spring plowing, but now it seems that Xinfa Tian Changdun has already started.
I will send ninjas to Shimotsu and even to the Aizu area of Mutsu Province to collect information.
If it is true as you said, Shinbada Changton has already captured Kadi City. Then I will immediately command the counter-insurgency at Tomeo Castle and never give Shinbada Choatoshi a chance to capture Niigatajin.
I hope you can fully assist me and point out any omissions. "
Yiyin kowtowed slightly, and Benzhuang Fanchang avoided the ceremony and bowed deeply in return.
"I dare not take it seriously. This is my duty as a minister. I am your lackey, so I should go all out to share your worries."
Yiyin clapped his hands.
"Okay! Since your analysis of Shinbada Changton is so ruthless, what about us? How should we respond?"
Honzhuang Fanchang had a complicated look on his face. He paused for a long time and then said leisurely.
“The four parties of the Northern Yang Dynasty have been coming to the north of the Agano River since the Kamakura shogunate period and have been working there for hundreds of years.
The land in Xiayue has long been developed, but the descendants of each family are still multiplying and growing.
In the dispute between the Nagao family in the mansion and the old guardian Uesugi family, Yangbeizhong sided with the old guardian. As a result, the defeated Fuchu Nagao family was vigilantly suppressed for several years.
From what the imperial court knows, how much blood has been shed within the Yangbei clan over the years because of the competition for land and water between villages?
How many people could not bear the oppression and turned their backs on the Yangbei people to join His Highness Uesugi? "
Yiyin stared at Honjo Mancho and asked slowly.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Benzhuang Fanchang kowtowed to the ground and said.
"The Yangbeizhong group has come to an end, and the hundreds of years of oaths to help each other have been overwhelmed.
I am here to implore the imperial office to provide relief to all families in Yangbei, so that families in Xiayue will no longer have to bear this heavy burden.
Let us go to Guandong, serve the public with our bravery, and create a new world for our descendants! "
Yoshiyin looked at the impassioned Honjo Nobunaga with a smile on his lips.
This girl is really interesting, she can actually express her selfishness so righteously.
Wasn't the tacit understanding and internal bottom line of Yangbei people's unity broken by you?
Now that you have become a traitor, you turn around and want to dismantle the Yangbeizhong group so that you can feel at ease and not be liquidated. You are indeed a ruthless person.
However, it is just what Yiyin wants.
