Yoshigami quickly pulled Uesugi Teruhora up and cursed.
"What are you doing! What if you smashed your brain!"
Fortunately, the tatami floor was soft, and although the energy was quite strong, it was nothing serious, except for a large red patch on my head.
Teruhora Uesugi grabbed Yoshigashi's hand to help him up and said affectionately.
"You treat me as deeply as the ocean, but I embarrass you at every turn. It's really a bastard.
I don't know how to express my guilt, so I can only kneel on the ground and apologize to you. "
Yiyin took out a square handkerchief and wiped her forehead with a nervous look on his face.
"Are you asking for forgiveness? You want to scare me to death! How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Do you want a doctor to come over and take a look?"
Seeing his worried look, Uesugi Teruhu felt better for some reason and said with a smile.
"It's okay. I've always been strong-skinned. This little bruise is nothing."
Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Yiyin sat back down in his seat angrily and sighed.
"You know how to bully me."
Teruhora Uesugi came closer and sat forward, saying with a serious look on his face.
"You are right, I only care about my own happiness and never consider your difficulties.
The failure of the Kanto strategy this time is entirely my responsibility. You took care of me regardless of past grudges, but I only wanted to offend you. You really deserve to die.
Now that the situation is serious, you and I should not make our affairs public for the time being. It's just that you and I are already skin-to-skin, so this would really be a grievance for you.
Every time I see you dealing with those Ji warriors, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the way they look at you.
You are so miserable. "
Seeing her talking to him in such a low voice, Yiyin felt a little ashamed in his heart, and even felt hesitant and uneasy.
Uesugi Teruhora has a deep love for him. In the past few years, the two have fought side by side, trusting each other, and their relationship has become more mellow.
Back then, Teruhora Uesugi was interested in Yoshiin, and the system passively filled up his favorability level. Now, her feelings for Yiyin have turned into sincerity and are too strong to live up to.
This made Yiyin feel a little scared.
The girl Terutora Uesugi succeeded to the throne, and she was brave and good at fighting. Over the years, he has been decisive in killing and controlling the Echigo Kingdom, making him the hegemon of Kanto.
But emotionally, she is extremely pure. Since her mother's death, she has closed off her personal emotions and focused on military strategy, killing everyone.
But in the past few years, she has made several concessions to Yiyin. She is extremely naive politically, which is equivalent to giving up half of her family business to Yiyin.
If one day she realizes that Yiyin never thought of marrying her, what will she think? Will her pure love turn into pure hatred?
Today, she is willing to share her family fortune for charity. In the future, if she sees through Yiyin's thoughts, will she smash the family business to pieces and die together with Yiyin?
Yoshigan looked at Terutora Uesugi's pretty face sincerely apologizing, but he broke into a cold sweat behind his back.
No, this won't work.
For now, the only solution is to give her a child. Only the blood-related concern for her child can completely eliminate her thoughts of possible failure in the future.
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Do you only say sorry to me?"
Uesugi Teruhu was stunned, and just about to speak, his mouth was blocked by Yoshigage's lips and tongue.
Her eyes widened, feeling at a loss for Yiyin's hot and cold attitude, not knowing how to deal with it.
After Yiyin kissed her, he swept the tip of his tongue all the way across her cheek, lightly hooked her earlobe, and then blew into the ear hole and spoke.
"What's the use of saying sorry, you love me."
Uesugi Terutora's eyes were instantly ablaze with desire, and it was better to obey than to be respectful.
———
After the storm, the two sat facing each other again.
Yoshigan's expression was a little lazy, and Uesugi Teruhora looked at him with gentle eyes, like a cherished treasure, scanning his eyes, nose, mouth, neck, chest, and down.
The aggressive gaze made Yiyin feel uncomfortable. He looked up at the beam, thought for a while, and said.
"It turns out that Sano Masatsuna has committed suicide, and the Sano family surrenders to you.
No wonder Utsunomiya, Satake and others have been sending envoys to me, hoping that I can understand their difficulties in joining forces to form the Oriental Crowd. "
When Teru Uesugi saw Yoshigage talking about business, he also restrained his impudent eyes and spoke seriously.
“The Hojo family formed an alliance with me and recognized Ueno Country, Musashi Country Iwafu Territory and other places as my sphere of influence.
The Satomi family on the Boso Peninsula reacted the fastest and has reached peace with the Hojo family. Of course the samurai from Shimono and Hitachi would be afraid.
They originally expected me to fight with the Hojo family and both sides would suffer, but they didn't expect that our two families would one day join forces. The purpose of forming the Oriental Crowd is to resist the encroachment of me and the Hojo family.
It's a pity that the Sano family surrendered and the Shimono Gate fell into my hands again. They were worried that I would raise an army to conquer Buchen.
Tsutado-den, you met with the Kanto general at Furukawa and received the imperial order for peace in Kanto. The people in the East regard this shield as a life-saving straw and will definitely show respect to you.
But don’t take their words too seriously. These local famous families can be traced back to the two generations of Kamakura and Ashikaga shogunates before the Genpei War.
Being able to stick to the family business until now must know how to assess the situation and make profits for oneself. Their respect, just listen to it, it's not worth taking seriously. "
When it comes to business, Uesugi Teruhu uses the honorific title for Yoshihiro. It seems that she is really prepared to keep her promise, be her underground lover, and will not cause trouble for Yiyin for the time being.
Seeing that she was obedient, Yiyin was in a good mood and smiled.
"As long as they recognize your status, recognize the dominance of the Kanto system over them, and are willing to act according to the rules."
The two samurai families of Shimono and Hitachi had been frightened and frightened because of the peace talks between Uesugi Teruhora and Hojo Ujiyasu, so they had no choice but to form the Oriental Army to protect themselves.
What Yoshigan is most worried about is that these local famous families will break away from the new Kanto system headed by Ashikaga Yoshiji and Uesugi Teruhora.
Now, Sano Territory, as the gateway to Shimono, once again fell into the control of Uesugi Teruhu. The people in the East were unwilling to antagonize Shiba Uesugi, so each family sent messengers to Yiyin Ququ to persuade him, which was the best thing.
Yiyin hopes to peacefully change the Guanbazhou Wu family by boiling the frog in warm water and using the soft knife of the Wu Jiayi Promotion Association. As long as these people recognize the New Kanto System and are willing to abide by the rules, they will not be able to change the world.
The Kanto Plain, the origin of the samurai family, has a complicated history. Even if we only talk about the Kanto system during the Ashikaga Shogunate period, it is a confusing account.
The Kwantung generals and the Kwantung governors had disliked each other for a long time. In addition, the Kyoto shogunate was afraid of the Kwantung generals' past rebellion, and had been instigating internal strife between the two sides.
The Kanto shogun moved to the Furukawa Territory, and the Kanto system can be roughly divided into east and west parts by the Tone River.
To the west are the three kingdoms of Ueno, Musashi, and Sagami, as well as the Izu Kingdom and the Kai Kingdom, which are not part of the Kanhachishu but are listed as the jurisdiction of the Kanto Ten Kingdoms.
In the east, there are five countries: Xiazong, Shangzong, Anfang, Changlu, and Xiaye.
When the four branches of the Uesugi family were most prosperous, the Kanto governor once held the guardianship of Ueno Musashi, Sagami, Izu, Echigo and other countries, and even the Kanto generals had to avoid his influence. .
Therefore, when the Kanto generals came to Furukawa City to open a royal palace and compete with the Kanto administrators for Kanto hegemony, they have been wooing the local samurai families of the five eastern countries.
Most of the samurai families in the eastern part of Kanbashi had famous backgrounds during the Kamakura shogunate period, and the Kanto shogun gave them the honor within the Kanto system as a show of favor.
The most famous among them are the eight powerful samurai families who were successively allowed to use the Yakata Hao. These eight families are also called the Kanto Eight Houses, and their territories are mainly spread over the five eastern countries.
What happened later was beyond everyone's expectation. The Kanto General and the Kanto Governor merged and ended up taking advantage of the newly rising Hojo family.
The current Kanto shogun Ashikaga Yoshiji has an honorable title, but he can only stay in Furukawa City and be a good boy. He has neither the guts nor the strength to continue to toss.
The various branches of the Uesugi family were almost wiped out. The name of the Nagao family in Echigo Fu was replaced by Teru Uesugi, the name of the Nagao family in the Echigo Prefecture, to inherit the name of the Uesugi family and the Kanto governor in Yamauchi, which was somewhat of a fig leaf.
The Hojo family has long been eyeing the five eastern countries, and has been instigating local martial arts families to fight against famous families, and then looking for excuses to intervene and profit.
The Bosou Peninsula in the southeast has been fighting back and forth for many years. Finally, through this alliance between the Hojo and Uesugi families, the last breath of the Satomi family, the overlord of the peninsula, was shaken, and they were willing to bow their heads and make peace.
However, the samurai from Hitachi and Shimono were not convinced. Led by the four houses of Satake, Utsunomiya, Oyama, and Yuki, they formed the Oriental Army to protect themselves in the Northeast.
Yiyin didn't care about the little thoughts of these people. Counting from the Hojo family, all the grass-head kings in Guanbazhou, big and small, had ulterior motives.
What he wants is for everyone to recognize the current New Kanto system, so that he can suppress local governments in the name of the central government and achieve great justice before he can use his methods.
he said.
"As long as the people of the East admit their mistakes, you can forgive them magnanimously.
In this way, I can send the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to their territory to help the local samurai restore production and restore centripetal force to the Kanto system. "
Terutora Uesugi smiled.
"The Samurai Giri Promotion Association is really a useful knife. I am very satisfied that Sano Masatsuna died with his eyes open this time.
Let Dazang Chang'an work harder. When we recharge our batteries and attack again, we will see if the local warriors will eat pots of pulp to meet the heavenly soldiers. "
Yoshigan glanced at Terutora Uesugi. She, like the daimyo of Seki Hachishu, recognized the threat of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association.
However, their understanding is not enough.
For people who have suffered from poverty for generations, their views were shattered when they saw the lighthouse for the first time, which was enough to completely change the color of the grassroots in Guanbazhou.
Yoshigan thought for a while and did not continue to discuss this topic with Terutora Uesugi. Because even if he said it, it would be difficult for Uesugi Teruhu to understand.
If Yiyin had not witnessed the fanaticism of converts with shattered views in his previous life, he would not have believed that the power of yearning for the lighthouse could be so powerful.
The Wu family has had a strong desire for power since ancient times, and it may be even more fanatical than the lighthouse converts in the previous life, maybe.
Yiyin sighed.
"This imperial order for peace in Kanto has even affected the Ou area. Both the Osaki family and the Mogami family have sent people to show their respect and accept the imperial order."
Teruhora Uesugi laughed dumbly.
"General Kantou can't control the two countries of Ou and Yu, so why are these two families coming to join in the fun?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
"They wrote me a private message in the name of the Shiba family. They said that the Oubu family was also troubled by the disaster, but it was because some people went to war and did not give everyone a chance to recuperate."
Teru Uesugi frowned.
"Are they talking about that one-eyed girl Date Masamune?"
Yoshigami nodded, and Uesugi Teruhora sighed.
"These people are so shameless that they even took advantage of you. When you were down and out, why didn't they remember that they were from the Shiba clan?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The Ou region has always been a very marginalized region in the samurai politics of the island country.
Because of the lack of fuel in the Middle Ages, humans were unable to conquer areas that were too cold.
The Ou area seems to be vast, but in fact, the south is slightly better. Only the livestock industry is relatively developed in the north. Not much food can be grown in the frozen soil, and not many people can be fed.
Land and population are the core capital of a farming society. The Ou area is vast and sparsely populated, so it naturally cannot occupy a very important political position.
Only by waiting for the development of human productivity and gradually increasing the use of energy will it be possible to establish a foothold in colder zones, but that will be after the industrial age.
The Ashikaga Shogunate's control over the Ou region is also quite weak. At first, it was entrusted to the Kanto General of the Kamakura Prefecture to take care of it, and then he chose to send a probe to check and balance the Kanto General.
The position of Ou's question changed several times, and finally it fell on the descendants of the Shiba family.
After the Ou Shiba branch established its position, the eldest daughter's line and the second daughter's line inherited the Oshu Tentai and the Ushu Tentai respectively, that is, the ancestors of the Osaki family and the Mogami family.
The Ou area is too large, and the local county commander is very independent. The Date family is the local county chief who started from Date County.
When the Kanto Shogun rebelled, he not only went to Kyoto to fight, but also tried to enter the Ou area.
As for the issues in the Ou area, the Ashikaga shoguns in Kyoto did not believe much, and always used the balancing hand that the Ashikaga family was best at, dividing and conquering.
The Date family seized the opportunity and quickly moved closer to General Ashikaga. Several generations of family governors, Shangluo, have gained the trust of successive generals and been granted many powers.
The Date family continued to expand their influence through marriage, replacing the Osaki family and becoming the overlord of Oshu.
Unfortunately, a civil strife interrupted the Date family's hegemony. Otherwise, the Date family might have unified the Ou region.
And this generation of Date family governor Masamune, relying on the good foundation laid by his grandmother and mother, once again ignited his ambition to conquer Ou.
She even offended many allies and relatives because of her too drastic actions, which led to her mother being kidnapped to death.
But even if surrounded by enemies, it would be difficult for the local daimyo of Ou to defeat the powerful Date family through their own strength.
Only then did the Osaki family and the Mogami family cast their eyes southward, remembering that Yoshigan Shiba, the legitimate son of the clan, had come to express his goodwill.
Yoshigan and Terutora Uesugi were no strangers to the Ou incident. The Ashina family and the Date family of Oshu coveted the Shimoetsu land and had a hand in the Shimotsu Shinbada rebellion.
It's a pity that the governor of the Ashina family was killed, cutting off the new foreign aid of the Tian family. Yiyin was able to quickly put down the Xia Yue rebellion, which was considered a help from God.
