But to Yiyin's surprise, Dao Shengmeng had a strange look on his face and whispered.
"His Royal Highness Uesugi has ulterior motives for you, so he will not easily abandon the cooperation between the two families. He wants your body and your family property."
Yiyin looked at Shima Shengmeng in astonishment, "You, a thick-browed and big-eyed warrior of Yirihime, have learned how to gossip like a chicken?"
Dao Shengmeng was embarrassed by his gaze and whispered.
"I'm worried that you are being deceived."
Yi Gin curled his lips and said, "You just don't want Uesugi Teruhora to climb into my bed." It's a pity that it's too late to tell. The three days and three nights just now were already very satisfying.
He said solemnly.
"I'm not afraid of being deceived by others, I'm just afraid that I will be coerced by interests and lose my faith.
After hundreds of years of troubled times, the martial arts families in the world have long been exhausted, and too many changes have made them at a loss what to do. Except for a few careerists, people's hearts are already at peace and long for a return to the traditional order of the Wu family.
I can't arbitrarily waver my principles of doing things just for the sake of a little immediate profit. We should uphold justice and stick to righteousness.
In this world, not only change is power, perseverance is also a kind of power. Just like if you suddenly sneeze, it must be that I am thinking of you.
Shimahime, do you understand? "
Dao Shengmeng looked at Yiyin's face as he dedicated himself to the martial arts family, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
This is the man she longs for, a rare man from the Wu family who has not been born for three thousand years. Being able to have such a relationship with him, Dao Shengmeng felt that he would die without regrets.
She kowtowed to the ground respectfully, held up her breasts, kissed her breasts, and said solemnly.
"I am so stupid that I need my lord to take the trouble to explain. Only then will I understand your good intentions.
I will follow you, work hard for your justice, and work hard for the Shiba family. "
Yiyin saw Shima Shengmeng making a serious and serious oath with a violent move. The contrast between the two made the children couldn't help but get excited.
He coughed and helped Dao Sheng up. My waist is still sore, so I can't be impulsive. Let's talk about business first and let my kidneys rest for a while.
Yiyin continued to talk about business.
"I heard that Hojo Genan, the diplomat of the Hojo family, has been operating among Musashino and deceiving people. Is this possible?"
Shima Sheng nodded fiercely.
"His Royal Highness Uesugi has been busy transporting supplies these days, preparing to attack Sano Territory again.
The local samurai in the south are afraid that they will become the next target, and His Highness Uesugi will hold them accountable for their betrayal one by one. As a result, they all expressed their friendly attitude towards Hojo Genan.
It is said that Hojo Genan was receiving hospitality from Yura Narashige at Kanayama Castle at this time, thanking her for her contribution to the harmony of the Hojo Uesugi family. "
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi is too upright and far less cunning than Hojo Ujiyasu."
Dao Shengmeng remained silent.
Yoshihiro said that she wanted to maintain the cooperation between the Shiba and Uesugi families. Of course, she couldn't say that Uesugi Teruhu was a fool and was fooled by Hojo Ujiyasu.
Hojo Yasuaki supported Uesugi Teruhora's crusade against the Sano Territory, and secretly instigated rumors to panic the local samurai families in the south and seek asylum from the Hojo family.
When things have reached this point, the turn of the people's hearts is a foregone conclusion, and it will be difficult for Uesugi Teruhu to fight back to the south in the short term.
Seeing that Dao Shengmeng was silent, Yiyin could only smile awkwardly. Who knows what Teruhora Uesugi is guilty of this time? It’s just that no one dares to say it openly.
he said.
"Have you read the letter I sent you before?
I want to go to the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River to persuade the local samurai to accept the Tone River diversion project so that the Samurai Giri Promotion Association can penetrate into the core area of Kanto.
I'm not very familiar with the recent situation in the south. Do you have any ideas for me? "
Dao Shengmeng bowed slightly and said.
"What you said is really embarrassing.
Your Majesty's eyes are thousands of miles away, so I have nothing to teach you. I am just familiar with some local customs, and I am willing to fill in the gaps for Your Majesty.
Your letter states that you hope to persuade the middle- and lower-class local servants who have thousands of stones to use the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to promote the diversion of the Tone River, so that the local grassroots will like Shiba.
This is a good idea, but if you go directly to the grassroots level, you are afraid that the local powerful martial artists will secretly cause trouble.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you want to reduce constraints and resistance, you must start by uniting the local famous families. Only with the support of these upper-level figures can he go to the countryside to win the hearts and minds of the grassroots warrior Ji. "
Yiyin nodded.
"It makes sense."
Shima Shengmu continued.
“The middle and lower reaches of the Tone River can actually be divided into two parts.
The upper section of the water flow is the actual dividing line between Ueno and Musashi countries, and the lower section of the water flow is the actual dividing line between Musashi and Shimoso countries.
If you want to change the route, you must first convince Ueno Musashi and the samurai family along the way. They are the main victims of flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, and they are also the people most likely to be impressed by you.
Only after convincing them did the Tonegawa diversion project take the first successful step.
The upper section includes Ninja Castle, Narita Nagayasu, Kanayama Castle, Yoshinoge Masaki, Tatebayashi Castle, Nagao Ochanaga, the lower section, Iwatsuke Castle, Ota Shimasa, and Edo Castle, Ota Yasushi.
These five family governors are all powerful martial arts families from well-known families. Their influence is deeply rooted in the local area, and they are also deeply troubled by floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River.
If you can get them to pay attention to the Tone River diversion project, and hope that you will go to the countryside to persuade local servants to participate in it, and allow the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to enter and exit each family's territory at will, this matter will be easy to handle. "
Seeing that Dao Shengmeng spoke eloquently, Yiyin suddenly became interested and said.
"You have been in Dahu for less than a year, but you have already figured out the details of these local martial arts families?"
Daosheng smiled reservedly.
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."
Yiyin smiled.
"Go on, do you have any good ideas to help me convince them?"
Daosheng said solemnly.
"The ancestor of the Ota family, a famous Musashi family in the lower section, was the head of the Ogidani Uesugi family, and he made great contributions to the rise of the Ogidani Uesugi family.
The Ogidani Uesugi family is named Musashi Shugo. In fact, in most important towns in Musashi, the Ota ancestors participated in the construction of the city. The influence of the Ota family is very important, and Hojo Ujiyasu does not dare to underestimate it.
Today, the Ota family is divided into two branches: Iwatsuke Castle and Edo Castle. Edo Castle is the descendant of the ancestor, and Iwatuke Castle is the niece.
However, the Ota family of Edo Castle surrendered to the Hojo family early, resulting in the loss of justice. Ohta Shimasa of Iwatsuke Castle has always been an unyielding flag-bearer holding high the anti-Hojo flag, and has high prestige in Musashi.
This time His Highness Uesugi defeated the General Kingdom, the Hojo family made a comeback, Musashi's outsiders turned against him one after another, and the pressure on Ota Shimasa was very great.
Others can surrender to the Hojo family, but she cannot. If the anti-Hojo banner is lost, the Ota family's influence in Iwatsuki Castle will not be maintained.
I dare to say that Ota Shimasei will fully support you. Only under your protection can the Ohta family of Iwasuke City not be afraid of being overthrown by the Hojo family.
As for Ota Yasushi of Edo Castle, the Ota family of Edo Castle has surrendered to the Hojo family since her mother's time. Hojo Ujiyasu seemed to respect Ota's direct lineage, but in fact he was very afraid of him.
The Hojo family established the Sanjo Dai in Edo Castle, with Ota Yasushi ranking third. The dignified direct descendants of the Ota family were tightly guarded by the Hojo family and were about to be marginalized.
Sano led the battle, and Ota Yasushi seized the opportunity and encouraged the Musashi samurai to retreat first, killing the other two Edo castles on the front line. After returning, he seized Edo Castle and became independent.
The Hojo family returned to Musashi country, and Ota Yasushi was forced by the situation to surrender to the Hojo family again. But the trust between the two parties has disappeared, and it is difficult to repair the broken mirror.
Hojo Yasushi is cunning and cunning, but for the sake of the overall situation, she can tolerate Ohta Yasushi's capriciousness.
However, the Hojo Ushimasa, who suffered a disastrous defeat in the Sano Leader Battle and lost his prestige, was very disgusted with Ota Yasushi, and sooner or later he would liquidate this traitor.
The Hojo clan has succeeded him as governor of the Hojo family, and the Hojo clan will not be able to control it for more than a few years. Ota Yasushi will definitely find a way out and make plans for the future.
I think that as long as you are willing to protect her, she should accept your kindness and allow the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to enter the Edo Territory, so that the Hojo family will not dare to attack her. "
Yiyin nodded in approval.
"Shimahime's clever plan, I will reward you heavily."
He was happy in his heart. The originally foggy road going south was finally illuminated by Dao Shengmeng's beam of sunshine, and he finally gained some insights.
Yiyin leaned forward and slapped Dao Sheng on the lips, making her face feel hot and she pretended not to be angry.
"Master, do you still want me to finish?"
Daosheng's fierce autumn waves turned slightly, his eyes cut through the water, looking at Yiyin. Seeing that the two of them were about to start making firewood, Yiyin held his waist and smiled bitterly.
"You go on."
Shima Shengmeng looked slightly disappointed and cheered up.
“The two Ohta families in the lower section are easy to solve, but the real trouble you have to deal with is the three families in the upper section.
The Narita family of Ninja Castle, the Yura family of Kanayama Castle, and the Nagao family of Tatebayashi City were all related by marriage to each other, and the core was the Yura family of Kanayama Castle.
Yura Narashige married a son of the Akai family of Tatebayashi City and gave birth to two daughters and one son.
The eldest daughter, Yura Kunushige, is the heir of the Yura family. The second daughter married the son of the Nagao family and became the heir to the Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle. The son married the daughter of Narita Nagayasu.
The Akai family of Tatebayashi City was in the wrong team when the Echigo army marched south last year, and His Highness Uesugi assigned Nagao to attack and destroy them.
As a result, Nagao Tocho controlled the two major territories of Ashikaga Castle and Tatebayashi Castle, and his power increased greatly. But her ability to secure her position in Tatebayashi City was inseparable from the help of Shigeru Yura, who was married to the Akai family.
Yura Shigeshi is the core of the relationship between each family, and is the largest public in Ueno. If you want to win these three families, you must first convince the Yura family. "
Yiyin frowned.
"Do you think Yura Shigeki will refuse my kindness?"
Shima Shengmeng said.
"Hojo Genan is visiting the Yura family in Kanayama Castle. The Hojo family is very aware of Yura Shige's influence in this area and has been trying to win her over."
Yiyin sighed.
"It's really difficult."
Dao Sheng looked at his master fiercely and suddenly laughed.
"Actually, you have an advantage over Hojo Genan. It depends on whether you are willing to use this advantage."
Yiyin rolled his eyes at her.
"Stop being pretentious and say what you have to say."
Being shocked by Yiyin's anger, Shima Sheng's breathing dropped sharply, and she could barely suppress her accelerated heartbeat as she said.
"I just mentioned that Yura Narashige married a son of the Akai family in Tatebayashi City and gave birth to three children, which led to the marriage alliance we have today.
This son of the Akai family was one of the most beautiful women in her generation, and the most famous thing was that she was proficient in the art of war, comparable to Samurai Ji. "
Yiyin raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully. Dao Shengmeng looked at his master affectionately and continued.
“This son has now become a monk, with the Buddhist name Miaoyin, and is deeply respected by the local martial arts husbands.
He is the leader of the brotherhood in this area. It is said that he is holding an event recently in Jinshan City. At that time, husbands from Nagao, Narita and other local prominent families will gather at Jinshan Castle. "
Yiyin said.
"You want me to participate in their fraternity activities and act as a husband. Through them, I can influence their wives' decisions? Is this my advantage?
I don’t know these husbands, and I can’t even name them. Is it too childish to place my hopes on them? "
Daosheng smiled fiercely.
"The customs and customs of Guandong are very different from those of recent times. In recent years, when the country is prosperous, the husbands in the fraternity love to enjoy flowers, drink tea, and compare cultural accomplishments.
Many local martial arts husbands in Kanto have the custom of practicing martial arts for self-protection. Monk Miaoyin has strong martial arts skills and a resolute personality. He is a leader admired by local husbands.
Can you guess who this Miaoyin monk admires the most? "
Yiyin frowned.
"How would I know.."
Suddenly his heart moved, could it be. .
"It can't be me, can it?"
Dao Shengmeng's eyes glowed with admiration and he affirmed.
"Of course it's you.
The Shiba clan was wiped out in Owari. You have to fight your way out among the samurai warriors and revive the family business to bring glory to all the samurai men.
In those days in Kyoto, all the men of the martial arts family regarded you as their son's honor. This was still the case in recent times when husbands did not like to fight.
Monk Miaoyin and other Kanto husbands admire you very much, but you have always regarded yourself as a martial artist and do not want to get involved in the activities of the brotherhood. They often regret that they have not had the chance to see your true face. "
Yiyin laughed.
"So, I really have some advantages over Hojo Genan."
Hojo Genan is a famous diplomatic nun of the Hojo family, and has contributed a lot to the expansion of the Hojo family. It's a pity that no matter how powerful she is, she can't grow Genzil, and she is naturally excluded from the brotherhood.
Yiyin has always disliked getting along with the effeminate men in this world, so he rarely participates in men's affairs. But this time, he was willing to blend in.
Glancing at Shima Shengmeng, who was sweating a little because he explained the strategy carefully, Yiyin stepped forward and hugged her gently, speaking in her ear.
"If it weren't for Shimahime's advice, I really don't know where to start on this trip south, and I really don't know how to thank you."
Yiyin spoke against Dao Shengmeng's earlobe, and his warm breath poured into her ear holes, making her blush instantly and unable to control herself.
Shima Katsu swallowed hard and said with heavy breathing.
"I know that I have a way to thank you. I just hope that your Majesty will not give up."
Before Yoshiyin could react, he let out a cry of surprise and was already thrown to the ground by Shima Sheng.
He sighed helplessly, he was doomed after all. Pity this sore and numb waist, I have to suffer again.
Fortunately, there is a system of external body protection. With this strong body that is always sixteen years old, there should be no lumbar muscle strain, right?
