Shiba Yiyin thought about it.
At the beginning, Dazang Chang'an offered his advice, saying that he would use five thousand stones to help the martial arts family in the Guandong Palace. In addition, I asked for another five thousand koku to provide relief to the samurai families in the Kanto Plain who had taken refuge in Echigo, and to win over people's hearts.
Because the subsequent specific plans were only internal, the Guandong Plain was not mentioned, and the other five thousand stones did not appear in the document.
Shiba Yiyin was thinking about this matter above, and the kneeling Dazo Changan below breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I mentioned one more sentence at the beginning, and I just used it to pass the test at this time.
Uesugi Teruhu asked, not knowing this.
"Relief to the Guandong Plain? What's the use of five thousand stone caps? No amount of food is enough."
In the land of Guanbazhou, the stone height is millions. This severe drought has resulted in poor harvests in various places, and an average of 70% of the grain output has been lost.
Not to mention five thousand stones, even fifty thousand stones or five hundred thousand stones would not be able to fill this big hole. The so-called relief for the Guandong Plain is simply a joke.
Dazang Changan stood up and said seriously.
"The martial arts families in Kanto are indecisive between us and the Hojo family. Although five thousand stones is not enough to help the eight states of Guanzhou, it is enough to move one or two families.
Among the Kanto samurai families, there were definitely not a few who hated the Hojo family. As long as someone is willing to stand up first, there will be a wave of submission later. "
Teruhora Uesugi nodded, this makes sense. It costs thousands of dollars to buy horse bones and just show off, but the actual cost is not much.
Just like planting trees, if you plant four out of 10,000 trees, you can boast that you have saved the world, and those who really work hard will be laughed at as stupid.
As long as Echigo knows how to package and market it, five thousand stone can save the great famine in the Kanto Plain, and it may not be impossible to boast about it and turn it into a huge charity.
Seeing Terutora Uesugi being persuaded by her, Kakizaki Keie in the audience couldn't help but stand out. Before she could speak, Uesugi Teruhu said sharply.
"You sit back and everything you do is not your responsibility."
Kakizaki Keike was stunned by what she said. He bowed helplessly and returned to his seat, turning his attention to Naoe Keizuna.
Naoe Keizuna's scalp is numb, why the hell do you want me to take the blame again?
But Shiba Yiyin really couldn't bear it, and the commotion would go on endlessly, he said.
"Let's split the ten thousand stone relief food fifty-fifty.
As for the food used to leverage the Kanto warrior family, it is not within the ten thousand dan to be allocated from the military rations when the time comes. "
Uesugi Teruhu also had a headache.
Kakizaki Keie represents the Joetsu military, including the Nagao clan and the Joetsu clan. These bastards are bad, but they are also her base.
When they first went out to battle in Ezhong, they took control of Jinshan and almost made Teru Uesugi angry to death. But the final punishment was to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty, and this would not happen again.
This time, Teruhora Uesugi forced Kakizaki Keike back, but it was inevitable that someone would come forward to act as a monster. Fortunately, Yoshihiro Shiba took the overall situation into consideration and agreed to Naoe Keizuna's 50-50 split, giving her face.
Off the court, Uesugi Shiba and the two martial arts families felt that they were at a disadvantage, and the two masters looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After the conflict was barely settled, we began to discuss the order of sending troops, the number of people, and the distribution of supplies.
This time, the followers of both sides were watching the show. It was the turn of the military bosses to compete for money, food, and military supplies. The scene was equally beautiful.
The quarrel lasted until dark, and both sides were exhausted. Then they reluctantly completed the deployment and went back to prepare for mobilization.
———
Ten days later, Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi issued a proclamation at the imperial government office. In hundreds of words, he listed the crimes of the Hojo family.
Including destroying the Ryo Uesugi family, imprisoning the Kanto Shogun until his death, establishing a new Kanto Shogun, etc. In short, the crime is unforgivable.
Teruhora Uesugi announced that the Uesugi family in the mountains would return to the Kanto Plain to fight against the rebels. In the name of the leader of Guandong, she called on the Kwantung warriors to raise troops to respond.
Yoshigan Shiba followed the order of Ashikaga Shogun and walked with his sword in hand. He will assist Uesugi Teruhora return to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura, Sagami Province, to complete the succession ceremony of the Kanto Governor.
Immediately, Echigo's 20,000-strong army came out in full force, crossed the Echigo Mountains, and headed straight for the Kanto Plain.
The proclamation spread to the Kanto Plain, and the northern Ueno samurai families such as the Shirai Nagao family, the Headquarters Nagao family, and the Minawa Nagano family responded one after another.
In Odawara Castle in Sagami territory, Hojo Ujiyasu had already prepared a draft. As soon as it was confirmed that the Echigo army was heading south, he immediately issued a tit-for-tat message.
She accused the shogunate of being ambitious and interfering in the internal affairs of the Kanto Ten Countries. Call on the Kanto samurai to unite around Ashikaga Yoshiji, the Kanto general, to expel the shogunate lackeys from Echigo.
Hojo Ujimasa, the current governor of the Hojo family, swore an oath to fight in Odawara Castle. Together with the new Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshiji, he led the elite of the Hojo family to Kawagoe Castle and joined Hojo Tsunage.
The Hojo family gathered 20,000 elite men to suppress the core area of the Kanto Plain, so that the surrounding samurai did not dare to act rashly and instead retreated and waited.
The two sides haven't faced each other yet, so they exchanged insults in the distance.
What kind of long-tailed scum pretends to be the Kanto governor, Ise garbage is not worthy of the Hojo Miao character, etc. No matter how ugly you are, you can scold them, repeatedly emphasizing that the other party is pretending to be righteous, and that you are the orthodox one.
The two families took the initiative to fight, and the Kanto martial arts family watched on the left and right. One side was as eager as fire, the other side was as calm as water, forming a strange stalemate.
———
As the Echigo army set off, Yoshigami Shiba and Terutora Uesugi arrived at Numata Castle with the front army to prepare for the next move.
In the following days, Nagao Kenkei from Shirai Castle, Nagao Kageso from Sosha Castle, and Nagano Yoshie from Minawa Castle, and other families from northern Ueno, came to Numata Castle to see them.
Uesugi Terutora then held a meeting at Numata Castle to discuss the matter of going south with various Ueno families.
In the castle tower, Yoshigashi Shiba took the chair, and Teruhora Uesugi took the second seat to preside over the discussion. The Echigo people and the Ueno people at the head filled the meeting hall.
Shiba Yiyin glanced at the Ueno people present. It seemed that there were many people, but in fact there were only three important ones. That is Nagao, the two heads of Shirai, and Nagano Yasumasa, the boss of Nishi Ueno.
Nagao Kenkei of Shirai Castle was born in the Nagao family of the head office, and inherited the Shirai Nagao family after adoption. Today, the two Nagao families are almost advancing and retreating together.
Although the family business of these two families has declined far from what it used to be, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they still have considerable appeal among the Ueno samurai family.
Nagano Yamasa is both capable of fighting and giving birth, and with the support of the Minawa clan and the Twelve Wife clan, his appeal is even stronger.
Originally, there were two slightly inferior samurai families in northern Ueno, the Numata family and the Iwakijo Saito family, but they were swallowed up by Uesugi and Shiba.
Kenyasu Numata was obedient off the court. The Numata family had great influence in the Numata Basin area. I didn't expect that the family business would be reduced to this, and they were just like the puppets of the Uesugi family.
Not to mention the Saito family in Iwaki City, the entire family died. The person occupying her seat now is Sanada Nobushige. It always feels a little strange that her young face is among these old foxes.
Looking around, Yiyin couldn't help but frown.
There are many Wu families coming, but most of them are unknown people from small families. Neither the Nagano family in Amabashi City nor the Kohata family in Kunimine City, which were at the key points in the central area, came.
