Umino Ri glanced at the pitiful Sanada Nobushige beside him, and did not take Shiba Yoshigan's warning seriously.
This bastard master was thinking about how to get into Shiba Yiyin's bed. For this purpose, he dared to try anything. How could Umino Riichi advise him?
Sanada Nobushige brought Umino Riichi out of the mountains, took off his clothes and pushed him to eat, and obeyed his advice. The Umino family, which was on the verge of extinction, was brought back from the abyss, and the benefits were sufficient.
Umino Riichi's tongue felt bitter as he looked at the holy Odaisho in front of him. Sanada Nobunaga treated him as a national scholar, and she could only repay him with death.
Even if the target of this stupid boss is the chastity of the Odaisho, Umino Riichi has no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany his wife. She was so helpless when she died for her confidant.
Yoshihiro asked her to persuade Sanada Nobushige, how to persuade her? Advise her to change to a chicken?
As soon as Umino regained his composure and returned to his usual indifference, he bowed and said.
"Umino Riichi must bear in mind the warning of the imperial family. It's just that my master's crime is not worthy of death. He comes from a mountainous background, is not familiar with etiquette, and behaves badly.
But she is truly loyal to the Imperial Palace, and everything she does is for you. "
What Umino Riichi said was true.
Sanada Nobushige was indeed loyal to Shiba Yoshigan, and everything he did was for Shiba Yoshigan. . To get into his bed and fuck other people.
Of course, Shiba Yoshigami didn't know whether Umino Riichi's cold-faced complaints were real or fake, he was just a little confused.
Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi successively emphasized that crimes do not lead to death. They just deprived the Sanada people of their imperial establishment and transferred them to local governments. Sanada Nobushige raised his own soldiers, why was he about to die?
From the time he was angry and deprived until now, Yiyin has not had time to come back to his senses and think about it carefully. Now that he had been reminded twice, he calmed down and began to wonder if his punishment had missed something key.
Everyone looked on with cold eyes. Daxiong Chaoxiu seemed to understand, but it was not convenient for her to interrupt, so she just sat back and watched.
The Kanto Shisho Office was deeply involved in the Hokurikudo trade route, Naoejin Customs Office, the Second Public Tax Return, and water conservancy construction. Daxiong Chaoxiu has a lot of power and lives a very prosperous life.
For a wealthy and wealthy institution, Sanada's annual income of twelve hundred koku is just a small thing.
But this burden fell on Sanada Nobushige, who only had a territory of more than 10,000 koku, and it would be fatal.
There are four citizens and six citizens, and the annual land output of the territory does not exceed 5,000 dan. Her territory is in the mountains of Hokushin and Nishi Ueno. The land is poor, the plains are sparse, and there is little additional income.
Relying only on the land income of 5,000 koku, Sanada Nobushige's life was not easy, not to mention the fact that he had to support one hundred Sanada warriors.
She was able to maintain a huge military force that far exceeded her own economic strength because she relied on poaching the corners of the Kanto Palace.
Okuma Asahide probably understood what the problem was, and Yoshigan Shiba, who was in charge, also had some reaction and asked Umino Riichi.
"You are very sharp-tongued, so tell me, why did she die?
In less than two years, I rewarded her with two lands, Songdai and Azuma, and an Andu territory of more than 10,000 dan. According to you, should I harm her?
If you can't afford to raise so many soldiers, don't raise them! Eat as much cake as your mouth has. A man must know how to be content! "
Yoshihiro's idea is very simple. Don't you Sanada Nobushige want to cause trouble? I won't let you do it!
The territory of more than 10,000 stones cannot support two reserve troops and one hundred Sanada soldiers. In order to maintain balance, Sanada Nobushige was forced to reduce the army.
Without the support of the army, this wild monkey naturally has no confidence to provoke Nagano Yamasa, and Yoshihiro's goal is achieved.
Umino Riichi had a clear idea, she bowed and said.
"The Imperial Court has misunderstood my master. Although she is naughty, she is truly loyal to the Imperial Court.
The strategy against Nagano Yamasa was all done by me, and it was all my plan. If there is any dissatisfaction with the imperial court, I will commit suicide and apologize, so as not to implicate my master. "
As soon as Umino Ri opened his mouth, he wanted to clear up Shiba Yoshigan's accusations against Sanada Nobunaga. All the bad things were my idea. Nobushige Sanada just accepted the advice. She is a good person.
Shiba Yiyin sneered.
"Okay, then why are you provoking Nagano Imasa? Give me an explanation. If it's not right, I'll help you find someone to commit seppuku."
Sanada Nobushige looked at Umino Riichi nervously, but Umino Riichi said calmly.
"Everyone on the stage does not know that there is a raging undercurrent in the West Ueno area, and my master is worried about it. I share your worries and make suggestions, just to prevent the Kanto Palace from being passive.
Kobata Nobuzada went to Toshin to seek the Takeda family's intervention in the situation in Nishi Ueno. Fortunately, the master noticed it and through his grandmother Yukitaka Sanada, he tried to win back Kobata Nobusada.
And Nagano Industry is taking advantage of the chaos in Kanto in autumn and winter to take over Kuomine Castle and Hirai Castle in one fell swoop.
Hirai Castle is an important town for Nishi Ueno to enter the Musashi Mountains. The Hojo family has secretly contacted Nagano Yimasa, hoping to gain her friendship.
The Lord was worried that the Minawa clan's dominance of Nishi Ueno would worsen the situation, so he tried his best to intimidate Nagano Yasumasa and work hard for the stability of Kanto Province, the headquarters of the Kanto Minister. "
Umino remained calm and talked nonsense and alarmism. Yiyin frowned when he heard it, but he actually believed it.
To the west of Nishi Ueno is Toshin, and to the south is Nishimusashi. With continuous mountain lines, it is a battleground for military strategists that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is entirely possible that the Takeda family and the Hojo family covet Nishi Ueno. The Shiye clan has a wide network of contacts in the mountains, so it is not surprising to get some gossip.
Ever since Takeda Harunobu took over Suruga Kingdom, he strangely had to return to Kai Kingdom and made no major moves. The big names from all over the world are speculating on whether the female tiger of Kai has any hidden meaning.
Umino Riichi said that the Takeda family intended to get involved in Nishi Ueno, and Shiba Yoshigan had to guard against this.
As for the Hojo family, after Sano's leadership was defeated in the battle, Hirai Castle in the hands of the Hojo family was captured by Nagano Yamasa in chaos.
The mountains of Nishi Ueno, Nishi Musashi, and northern Sagami are connected together, and it is a large area of mountainous hills extending from the Shinano Mountains to the Kanto Mountains.
Hirai Castle was originally the former residence of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi. It is located at the intersection of the Ueno Musashi Mountains and Plains, and its location is extremely important.
After the Echigo army returned north, Hojo Uyasu calmed down and began to pay attention to the threats in the direction of Hirai Castle and win over Nagano Yasumasa. This is very reasonable.
In the land of Nishi Ueno, there are Takeda and Hojo families from the outside, threats from two directions. Internally, Nagano Yasumasa's family is the dominant one. She is likely to collude with these two big names to raise prices and herself.
From this point of view, Sanada Nobushige's series of actions towards Nagano Yoshimasa were indeed motivated by loyalty and responsibility. It's just that this wild monkey has a frivolous attitude. Why can't he talk to his master properly?
Yoshigan's expression softened a little, but Sanada Nobunshige lowered his head and sweated.
She knew in her heart that Umino Riichi had a serious face and was full of lies, without telling the truth.
Yiyin said.
"Even if there is a hidden danger in Nishi Ueno, Sanada Nobushige should report it to me truthfully. What does it mean to take matters into his own hands?
Also, if you feel a little wronged, you will yell about how sin does not lead to death. how? Can't I wrong her anymore? "
As soon as Umino Ri heard Yoshigage's tone slow down, he knew that he believed his lie and said.
"Otai Suo, my lord and I are not exaggerating. Your punishment today will indeed cost her life.
The Sanada family is just a branch of the Umino family, and it is not a powerful family with absolute appeal among the Shino clan. And my master is young and frivolous, and cannot convince others.
The reason why my lord is able to lead the concubines among the Shiye Tribe and suppress the concubines in Azuma County is because of your majesty and grace.
However, the Sanada people were born in the mountains, most of them were poor and impoverished, and they did not know etiquette, dignity and inferiority. They surrendered to my master just so they could have enough to eat.
Now you punish the lord in public, causing her favor to disappear. He also deprived the Sanada people of their imperial status and could not buy military morale with generous salary.
Once this news is spread back to the Shiye clan, how can those wild people in the mountains understand that thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king?
They will only think that my master no longer has the qualifications to lead them. Azuma County, which had just stabilized, was bound to be in turmoil again.
My master is very loyal to the imperial office, how can I watch these people rebel against you and destroy your plan to stabilize Guandong?
Even if we don't have enough military strength, we can only repay your kindness by dying in battle. Isn't this a dead end?
On the royal platform, I humble myself and risk my life to make a speech.
When Azuma County was first established, the people's hearts were not yet attached, so female soldiers were indispensable to suppress it. Although my master has made mistakes, his sins do not lead to death. "
Yoshigan was stunned on the spot, and was distorted by Umino Ri's words, as if he really forced Sanada Nobunaga to die.
Umino Riichi repeatedly emphasized that Sanada Nobushige was loyal. As long as Shiba Yoshigan recognized this loyalty, he would admit that the crime they repeatedly mentioned did not lead to death.
There are internal and external troubles in Nishi Shangye, and there is no good person. Only the loyal Nobushige Sanada was worried and took the initiative to prepare for the rainy day and make arrangements in advance for Yoshiba.
If such good subordinates are forced to die, Azuma County will completely turn into a quagmire. The efforts of the Kanto Palace to win over the Shiye clan will all be ruined in one day.
Sanada Nobushige was stunned when he heard it. Umino Riichi's ability to talk nonsense seriously was really impressive. Sanwu girls are very good at deceiving people.
Shiba Yiyin was also deceived by her, and felt uneasy, reflecting on whether he was really wrong?
Nagano Yasumasa was originally a thorn in his flesh, but it was temporarily inconvenient to remove, so he endured it.
If he punished Nobuyoshi Sanada too harshly, the situation in Azuma County would collapse. The Kanto Palace not only lost the best way to enter the Eight Prefectures of Kanto, but it also allowed Nagano Yamasa to do things without any scruples.
Yoshigan was already moved by Umino Riichi, but he had just become furious during the review, which made Sanada Nobushige cry bitterly.
If he admits that he made a mistake now and restores the Sanada clan's status as an imperial guard, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Seeing Sibo Yiyin's uncertain expression, Big Bear on the side bowed to Chao Xiu and said.
"Otai Suo, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it?"
Yiyin looked at her and said.
"But it doesn't matter."
Da Xiong said solemnly to Chao Xiu.
"Sanada-sama is on one side, and the Sanada people are the Ji warriors who serve under her. It is really inappropriate to count them among the imperial staff.
The imperial office separated the Sanada members from the imperial establishment, which was a wise move to sort out the standards.
However, I feel that the stability of Azuma County is related to the influence of Guandong Shi's eight states. The situation is special, and it is too heavy for Sanada-sama to shoulder this responsibility.
I have a suggestion, and I would like to ask the imperial office to allow the executive office to allocate additional funds to share military expenses for Azuma County as a special treatment.
A monthly payment of one hundred shi of brown rice and an annual payment of 1,200 shi are enough to support the practice. "
Daxiong Chaoxiu is a good person, so he can find a way out for Sibo Yiyin.
The imperial office cannot make mistakes, and the imperial orders issued are like spit and nails and cannot be changed.
However, the special circumstances of Azuma County require special treatment. Sanada Zhong's twenty koku of white rice per month was replaced by one hundred koku of brown rice. The market price was converted to one to five, which meant there was no change.
Although he lost his identity as an Oitai, do the Sanada clan care? They only care that the die-hard banker cannot fail, and it doesn't matter if they change the situation, as long as the food is distributed.
The face of the Odaisho was saved, and Sanada Nobushige's life was saved, and everyone was happy.
Yiyin nodded and glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu approvingly. He was even more pleased to see that she had a solemn look on her face and did not ask for credit.
Choosing to protect Okuma Asahide was the most proud thing that Yoshigan did in Echigo. This man is really capable and knows how to behave, which saves him a lot of worry.
Yoshigan turned his gaze to Nobushige Sanada, who looked expectant, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
He really wanted to find a chance to teach this uneasy wild monkey a lesson, but it seemed that he couldn't do it this time.
———
Sanada Nobushige and Umino Riichi came out of the meeting hall, and Sarutobi Sasuke hurried up to ask.
"How about it?"
Sanada Nobushige smiled and wiped his face with a square handkerchief and said.
"Of course it's done. With a master as wise and powerful as me, there's nothing that can't be overcome.
The monastery will give me a special allowance of 100 kilograms of brown rice every month, so the sisters have enough food. "
Seeing that Sanada Nobushige was starting to get angry again, Umino glanced at her, frightening her and saying flatteringly.
"Of course, the main reason is that Liu Niang is eloquent and worthy of being my great military advisor."
Umino Riichi was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly.
"The Imperial Office will definitely send a military team to investigate afterwards. The lies I told must be rounded off and no one can find out the problem.
The Takeda family is easy to talk about. Obata Nobuzada originally wanted to take refuge, but he was dissuaded by Yukitaka Sanada and no problem could be found.
The problem lies with the Hojo family. Nagano Yasumasa must have contact with Hojo Ujiyasu for our provocative actions to be justified. "
Sanada Nobushige couldn't help but nodded.
"Yeah."
Then, the two of them looked at Sarutobi Sasuke, making her scalp tingle, and said.
"Trick me again? One moment you asked me to go to Kirigakure's place to get information, and the next moment you asked me to forge information to her. Do you think I didn't die quickly enough?"
Sanada Nobushige held her hand with both hands, looking sincere.
"Sasuke, this is the request of my life."
Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but want to complain, the last time you said this, Odai was being wheeled around in the room.
She closed her mouth tightly, afraid of saying anything disrespectful, and finally turned it into a sigh.
"I really owed you something in my previous life. I know it, so Kirigakure hid me and took care of it."
