Terutora Uesugi mentioned this matter because he was afraid that it would affect the negotiations between Shiba Yoshigan and Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Destroying temples and killing nuns is a taboo, so how could Master Xianru tolerate it after learning about it.
Sibo Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head, having no idea.
He didn't know how Master Xianru would react, but he couldn't stop the actions of the two retainer groups of Uesugi Jinbo.
When it comes to personal interests, these red-eyed Wu family can't control so much. Even if strict orders are taken to stop it, these temples will catch fire inexplicably, and nuns will die inexplicably.
The foundation of the rule of the samurai family is these greedy lower-class samurai families. Even if the third generation of Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitsu was extremely powerful, he would be helpless when encountering this kind of thing.
The imperial power of China does not go to the countryside, and the Japanese generals have no control over the villages. The local servants kill people and set fires.
The other side of the powerful people is actually the scapegoat, and Sibo Yiyin is determined to take the blame. The only thing he could do was to appease Honganji Xianru and compensate her in other ways.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"I hope Master Xian Ru can calm down and don't get really angry, otherwise the Hokuriku Road will never be peaceful again."
Even if you give benefits, others must be willing to take them! The monastery is the basis for the sect to exert its influence. When encountering something like this that shakes the foundation, Shishan will probably not compromise. This is a difficult matter.
Terutora Uesugi thought for a while and said.
"How about I come forward to suppress the retainers and protect these Yixiang sect temples?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"It's impossible to keep it. You are willing to suppress the retainers, but the Divine Protection Officer will not do this.
The Jinbao family was harassed a lot by the Ezhong Ixiang Sect and would not be willing to leave internal troubles in the territory.
The Chief Divine Protector will definitely take action, even if he agrees to it, it will be perfunctory. Later, they used the excuse that they could not control the Wu family under their command to prevaricate us.
Her warrior Ji started to take action, how can the people on your side not be jealous? Will definitely follow suit.
We can't expect these guys to take care of the overall situation, so we can only find ways to eliminate this hidden danger on the part of Master Xianru.
I will write a letter to Honganji Hiroyuki explaining that we are sending troops to Hokurikudo only to maintain stability. The war was chaotic, and it was absolutely unintentional for it to affect the temple.
Then he wrote to Mitsuhide Akechi and Yono Takada, who had some contacts with Ishiyama Honganji Temple, to see if they could be of help.
The fighting started after spring plowing. No matter how fast it is, Master Xianru will still have to go to Xia Zhong when he learns that the monastery in Yuezhong has been destroyed. We still have time, let the recent parties try their best to come up with solutions.
If that doesn't work, the only option is to give the Hokurikudo Ichiku clan a hard blow. At least it will make them feel chilled and fearful, and they will not dare to cause trouble again within two or three years. The master's decrees and instigations are always ineffective. "
Directly saying that destroying temples and killing nuns will definitely not work, it is shameless to show such masters! But if the blame is put on the war, it can be manipulated. It depends on whether Master Xianru is willing to relent and pretend to be confused.
As long as she is willing to swallow this breath, both Uesugi Teruhu and Shiba Yigen are willing to compensate her, even a little more, as long as they don't make a big deal out of it.
The best strategy is to fight violence with violence. Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself. The losses will not be small afterward.
Yoshigan's chest felt tight, and Uesugi Teruhu also felt embarrassed. So what if you become a big boss? The Wu family's rule is chaotic, and even they can't really control the grassroots, and they often have to take the blame.
Fortunately, both of them have gotten used to it and can laugh at themselves, so they have to live with this miserable life. Don't feel wronged, the real superior is so helpless.
The so-called strategic overall situation and playing chess on the stage are not esoteric and difficult to understand. Excellent leaders must understand that the most important thing in ruling is to control people.
You must clearly figure out who is your base, who can be sacrificed, and who you have to protect.
The upper-class elites must understand what the grassroots think and what they can give, and guide the lower-level people to move in the direction they want. Only in this way can a stable system be established to maintain authority and continue rule.
The two of them were almost talking, when Uesugi Teruhu suddenly waved his hand and said sheepishly.
"This is not urgent, there is something I want to ask you first.
Ina Tadaji, whom you sent to the Second Public Tax Refund Review Committee, wrote a three-year water conservancy plan for the Echigo Plain. Have you read it? "
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi, and seeing her embarrassed expression, he chuckled impatiently.
"Well, what? Are you so annoyed that you can't stand it?"
Teruhora Uesugi sighed, touched his cheek and said.
"No, it's been annoying me to death lately.
I thought it would be enough to get rid of Naoe Keizuna, but who knew that everyone would always discuss this matter in a roundabout way in the name of visiting me. The Ji warriors at home kept drawing knives in private for this reason, which gave me a headache. "
Yiyin said coldly.
"Is the law of the Wu family just left to be seen? Is it enough to punish the crime by making noise and failure, or does it mean that no one is in charge of the Uesugi family anymore?"
Uesugi Teru's face turned red. Yoshigin was referring to Sang scolding her.
Her temperament is the most troublesome to deal with these general affairs. She opened her mouth today because she wanted to confirm a bottom line with Yiyin, so that other families would not test her all day long and cause trouble.
Teru Uesugi said with a smile.
“That’s not the case, you misunderstood.
I just think that forcing cows to drink water is useless against these bastards. Making some concessions and leaving some room is also for the sake of long-term peace and stability. "
Yoshihiro didn't like hearing this. The fact that Uesugi's retainers were in such bad shape had a lot to do with Uesugi Teruhora's impetuous management and impatience with general affairs.
He glanced at Teru Uesugi and became angry.
"It's rare that His Highness Uesugi has learned to be considerate and gentle towards his servants. Since you asked for mercy, it's hard for me to refuse.
But please give me some advice.
Each family under the Uesugi family occupies about 30% of the land and population of Echigo, but they want to take away 80% of the money and food repaid by the second father-in-law. How should we give in?
Give 90%? It's better to simply let them take it all. "
Uesugi Teruhu lost his temper when he saw Yoshigage, and he really felt at fault, and started sweating on his head.
"Don't be angry. I'm just asking. There's a bottom line, so I can refuse."
The more Yiyin thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't even care about the etiquette of the Wu family. He didn't even want to use his yin and yang, and started to curse people directly.
"How do you think you have spoiled the Uesugi retainers? Is there anyone who is such a governor?
I shouldn't be dictating the Uesugi family's internal affairs, but the two families' joint attack on the Kanto Plains has a bearing on the overall situation. Please forgive me and let me say a few more words.
Nagao Masaki and Usami Sadami will kill you happily.
But the two Nagao families are blood allies of the Nagao family in the mansion. If you change the Nagao family to the Uesugi family, you must protect their minds after killing people.
The old guardian series was originally managed well by Usami Sadaman, because of your sword. The Kashiwazaki clan, which was originally divided between the Mori family and the Usami family, was almost entirely controlled by Mori Kagehiro.
The Yamamotoji family is a branch of the old guardian Uesugi family. You suppressed these people too harshly in the past, but now you can only appease them to show Echigo's unity.
Naoe Keizuna is cunning and cunning, but she represents the members of the family who have worked for the Nagao family in the mansion for many years. It is difficult for you to suppress them because of your face.
Honjo Minoru, Kakizaki Kageie, Saito Asanobu, Naoe Mikami Hatamoto behind them, and the Nagao clan, these cronies who started their careers in the military have deep feelings for you, and you don’t want to punish them.
Okay, how do you manage the Uesugi family? Who cries louder and who takes one more bite? If they cry together, will you give them all the benefits?
And then when the other samurai families in Echigo can't stand it anymore and start a rebellion, you will quell it? Haven't you had enough of fighting fires here and there? "
Yoshigami clapped his fingers and talked about things one by one, scolding Uesugi Teruhora until he couldn't even raise his head. Seeing her pretending to be dead, Yiyin was furious.
Apart from fighting bullshit, this guy has really made a mess of everything else. But just because he was so awesome at fighting, he insisted on suppressing Echigo and becoming the boss.
This ability also impressed Yiyin very much, and his scalp was numb with admiration.
