Recently, many readers have given feedback that they feel that Shiba Yiyin is a loss-making business in Kanto. Is Uesugi Teruhora that bad?
It's a pity that the Uesugi family was so bad in history. There is constant internal fighting, a desire for quick success, and a short-sighted strategy.
The siege of Odawara Castle was the crowning moment of Terutora Uesugi against Ujiyasu Hojo. After that, the entire Uesugi family's strategy will take a turn for the worse, with all kinds of suffocating operations.
Historically, the Uesugi family's food was robbed on the spot in Kanto and shipped back to Echigo Kingdom. As a result, as soon as Uesugi retreated, the Hojo family shouted "Six Dukes and Four Citizens", and many samurai families ran back to the Hojo family.
The break with Narita Nagata led to the separation of the Kanto samurai family. After that, Teruhora Uesugi was defeated at Usui Castle in the Lower Kingdom, and the Uesugi family began to form an alliance with the Hojo family.
Hitachi Shimono and the two samurai families felt that they had been betrayed and formed the Oriental Crowd to protect themselves. The Satomi family on the Boso Peninsula immediately turned around and negotiated peace with the Hojo family.
Uesugi Teruhu has been busy for a long time, except for one Kanto governor who is considered to be the real one, but he has actually broken trust with the samurai families from all over the eight states of Kanto, and their hearts have been dispersed.
I couldn't understand these mysterious operations when I saw them with mosquito coils in my eyes.
If there are some plots in the book, readers may feel that something is wrong. Don't scold me, I feel something is wrong too. This book of mine is just a side story of history, and it is impossible to go too far to create a new theory.
Uesugi Teruhora has this kind of virtue. To be honest, if he hadn't been good at fighting, he would have been killed long ago. The political operation was a real failure.
I once introduced that the main plot of this book is about the guardian daimyo of Ashirisbo versus the warring states daimyo of Oda Toyotomi.
The two sides continued to accumulate conflicts in the dynamic process. Because of their different ideas, systems, and systems, they gradually drifted apart. From joining forces to confronting each other, they finally had to use war to solve the problem.
After all, the carrier of thoughts is the body. If it doesn't make sense, then the body should be destroyed. Yoshihiro Saba is actually a representative of the old forces, who wants to kill Oda Nobunaga, who is radically reforming.
Many people don’t understand why the protagonist must go to Guandong. I repeatedly emphasized in the book the importance of land in a farming society. Without land, there would be no population, food and army.
Oda Nobunaga occupied the Nobi Plain, and in the future Kamikawa would also occupy the Omi Basin and the Osaka Plain.
Such a large amount of fertile land was enough to crush all the daimyo of the Warring States Period, with the only exception being the Kanto Plain.
The Kanto Plain is the largest plain in Japan. The weakness of the Kanto Bashu is due to the long-term war, which resulted in the establishment of strongholds and the disrepair of water conservancy. In fact, the foundation is very strong.
Historically, Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered the world because he quietly worked in the Kanto Plain for decades, developing water conservancy and storing grain.
Of course, development in the book will definitely accelerate and will not wait for decades. But the strategic logic is consistent. Without the help of the Kanto Plain, Oda Toyotomi's new system cannot be defeated.
If the old forces represented by Shiba Yoshigan want to fight against Oda Toyotomi's family, the Shiba family must have a place in Kanhachishu.
The system's forced donation has always been the most criticized aspect of this book among readers. But the guide to the Eight Prefectures itself is very important in the structure of the entire book.
Finally, this book is my first book, and I have made a lot of stupid mistakes, enough for readers to complain about it from the first chapter to the current chapter 1,080.
But I'm still quite proud because I don't have a eunuch!
The general structure has not been scattered yet, and the logic is quite clear. As a middle-aged and elderly person with only a technical secondary school education, I am ordinary and confident. If I insist on finishing writing, I will win.
Finally, thank you readers for your support. Your subscription is the motivation for me to persist. I will continue to work hard and take a bow.
