Umino Riichi tested the temperature of the rice balls, threw one of the hot rice balls to Sanada Nobushige, and said.
"Yes, that's the truth.
Doesn't Daxiong Chaoxiu like to shout slogans of loyalty and unity, so now is the time for her to show that her words and deeds are consistent. "
Sanada Nobushige took a bite of his rice ball and asked.
"Then what if she just gets angry and doesn't stop doing it? What if we die in the Western Expedition to Oda? It's impossible for the dead to come back and settle accounts with her."
Umino Ri shook his head and said.
"impossible.
My lord, although you are now making Daxiong Chaoxiu itchy with hatred, she is also in trouble herself, so of course she has to pay attention to propriety in doing things.
Speaking of which, Daxiong Chaoxiu was also tired. Although she gained the trust of Tsudo-dono, her own status was inherently deficient.
First, she is not a retainer of Shiba, nor a direct descendant of Shiba's core like Yukimori Yamanaka and Takeshi Shimakatsu, so Tsudado's trust is limited.
Secondly, she once raised an army to rebel against His Highness Uesugi, and had several conflicts with the Uesugi retainers. She had many rifts and enemies.
Thirdly, the followers of the Kwantung Shifu have never been monolithic. In recent years, there has always been a competitive relationship between the Shishi faction and the Sino-Vietnamese followers headed by Daxiong Chaoxiu.
When Ishida Mitsunari was around, the Konka faction and the Echigo faction could still maintain harmony, because the benefits of the Hokurikudo trade route, which was created by the Kanto Shisho at that time, were not large enough.
But now, the leaders of the two factions, Dazang Chang'an and Daxiong Chaoxiu, are already attacking each other in front of Jinduo Hall, and they are incompatible with each other.
Daxiong Chaoxiu was too careful to protect his position. He had to be alert at all times to avoid getting into trouble.
The disagreement between us Sanada people and Ohkuma Asahide is at best due to official disputes over the Takeda offensive and the Western Conquest of Oda.
It is not difficult for Daxiong Chaoxiu to trip up in normal times, but now, my lord, you are directly questioning the possibility that she may neglect her official duties for personal reasons and engage in small tricks during the war. Of course, she must be extremely careful.
Regardless of the others, Dazang Changan would definitely stare at her, eager to take the opportunity to pull her down. "
Sanada Nobushige suddenly nodded.
"No wonder you asked me to support Ozo Changan's appointment as a non-permanent director next year, and even persuaded Nobuzada Obata to wait another year. It turned out to be this purpose."
Umino Riichi explained.
"This is just one of the purposes. Dazang Chang'an is of great use to us, and it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with her.
At that time, Dazang Changan came forward to slander you, which caused Daxiong Chaoxiu to almost lose the power of the execution office.
Later, in order to balance the two of them, the king let Daxiong Chaoxiu continue to control the practice and transferred Dazang Changan away.
However, in order to compensate Da Zang Chang'an, the people in charge of the integrity administration office are managed by people from Da Zang Chang'an, and Da Xiong Chao Xiu is also like a awn on his back.
Life in Dazang Chang'an was not easy either. She was in charge of the Wu Family Principle Promotion Association, and the water power funds, agricultural loans, and student subsidies of the eight states all came from the fund transfusion of the practice office.
Both Daxiong Chaoxiu and Dazo Changan wished that the other would choke to death when he drank water, but neither could do anything to the other and could only cooperate with each other to maintain the situation.
This is the genius of the king, to check and balance both sides, rather than letting one side dominate and destroy the good situation of harmonious progress. ….
Since we have offended Daxiong Chaoxiu, even if you have outstanding military achievements and are promoted to Shiba's retainers in the future, we will also be assigned to Shiba's establishment and sneak into the Shiba family, and life will not be easy.
Because it was too late for us to get started, we had to make friends and build a solid foundation.
Ozo Choan is a retainer of the Iga Maeda family. He was sent to Kanto by Lord Maeda Yoshida to serve as a retainer to the king. He has connections with the senior officials of the Shiba family.
Being kind to her will help us make friends with noble people in the Sibo family in the future, and go further.
In addition, Dazang Changan has been working hard to get rid of the constraints of Daxiong Chaoxiu and not be influenced by the capital budget of the execution office.
In order to win over the local forces in Guanbazhou and cooperate with the Wujia Yili Promotion Association, Junshang once allowed Guanbazhou Tucang to provide capital loans and participate in the promotion association.
economic activities.
After hundreds of years of war in Guanbazhou, the Wu family was poor. The richest ones were the group of nuns, and most of the Tucang's funds came from them.
Kamakura Gozan maintains his identity and refuses to stand out at the front desk. The Shinji faction under Odawara Castle did not have this concern and was very active.
Finally, Jinduo Hall decided to appoint four abbots of the new temples: Yuxin of Miao'an Temple, Shanghui of Sanguang Temple, Zhehuang of Wuliang Temple, and Kaixin of Yanglin Temple to take charge of the loan of funds for Tucang.
Using their funds, Dazang Changan has become its own system in Guanbazhou, and its dependence on the execution center has been greatly reduced.
We have offended Daxiong Chaoxiu, and we will have to walk on two legs to do business in the future. While continuing to cooperate with the practice, and at the same time opening up new paths with the promotion association, we will not be easily manipulated to death. "
Umino Riichi talked for a long time, and Sanada Nobushige felt dizzy. She ate the rice balls in her hands and pointed at Umino Riichi's rice balls and asked.
"Liu Niang, aren't you hungry? If not, just give it to me. I don't have enough food for you."
Umino, who was talking with a dry mouth and painstakingly explained his strategic thoughts to Sanada Nobunshige, was stunned for a moment, and was so angry that he threw another rice ball to Sanada Nobunshige.
Sanada Nobushige took the rice ball with a smile. Regardless of Umino Riichi's ugly expression, he broke off a piece and chewed it happily, while eating, he said.
"I don't understand these things very well, but I believe in you, Liu Niang. As long as you are here, no one can bully us.
Don't worry, you can do what you want. If there are blind idiots who want to block our way, I will lead people to chop them down.
We sisters come out to fight for wealth and wealth, and we only seek wealth without risking our lives. I don't care what Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Da Zang Chang'an are doing, anyway, I will not let the blood of my sisters be shed in vain.
The purpose of going to the west to conquer Oda this time is to let the martial arts in the world know that we, the Sanada soldiers, are the best soldiers in the world. We have gained wealth and honor through our military exploits. Who else would be better than me?
As for how to live a good life after receiving military honors, it's up to you, Liu Niang. "
Sanada Nobushige smiled and gave Umino Riichi a thumbs up, his shiny white teeth making people dizzy.
Umino looked at her master, with a hint of helplessness on her always cold face. She looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and said lightly.
"I will not let others bully our sisters, and I will not let you be deceived."
At night, by the campfire.
Sanada Nobushige lowered his head to nibble on rice balls, and Umino Riichi raised his head to think about his thoughts. The two of them sitting together made each other feel at ease. ….
They are eternal partners, working back to back to survive in this troubled world.
After a while, Umino Riichi suddenly spoke.
"Is it enough to just let the world's martial arts know that the Sanadas are the best soldiers in the world?
Wouldn't it be better to let Tsudado see your value and maybe even give you a child to win you over? "
Nobushige Sanada, who was eating rice balls, couldn't help coughing and almost choked to death on the rice balls.
She finally regained her breath, wiped her face, and looked at Umino Riichi with excitement.
"Really? Will Tsudado really give me a child?"
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"It's fake. I lied to you. Stop dreaming."
Sanada Nobushige's little face suddenly wrinkled up. He looked at the rice ball in his hand that was half-broken by his own saliva and handed it to Umino Riichi.
"I think I'm full, Liu Niang, do you want to eat?"
Umino glanced at her and ignored her. He took out a new rice ball, stuck it on a branch, and grilled it in front of the campfire.
———
Within the Kanto Palace, rounds of internal fighting around the Western Expedition starting next spring are already in full swing, and no one can stay out of it.
The mountains are prosperous, the islands are fierce, and the big bears are showing off. The three giants set traps for each other. The new generation of giants, Sanada Nobushige and Ozo Changan, have vague intentions to join forces.
As for the other Echigo factions and the Kanhachishu faction, they are even more complicated.
The only thing that can be certain is that Sibo Yiyin’s order for the Western Expedition is still the political need that everyone obeys first, otherwise
It will attract criticism and criticism from other forces.
In this chaotic yet clear political landscape, as another big boss of Echigo's dual politics, Uesugi Kenshin's attitude is particularly important.
Kasuga Mountain Castle, Castle Tower.
The autumn wind is getting colder, and the morning and evening are cold. A fire pot has been set up in the room early to prevent the young baby from catching cold.
Behind the screen, Kenshin Uesugi was carefully feeding the child. Although she was still very weak, she always insisted on feeding the child herself.
Naoe Keizuna, who walked into the screen, watched Uesugi Kenshin serve the child, sitting silently aside, observing his master's every move.
After Uesugi Kenshin finished feeding, he clumsily patted the child's back to protect the child from choking on the milk. Uesugi Miyuki huddled in her mother's arms and fell into a deep sleep of happiness.
After handing the child over to Xiao who was waiting on the side, Uesugi Kenshin looked at Naoe Keizuna.
"coming?"
"Hi, your Majesty has met His Highness."
"Is there still a commotion at the Kanto Waiting Office?"
Naoe Keizuna shook his head and sighed.
“There’s really a lot of quarrel over next year’s list of non-permanent directors.
The top two candidates on the list, the first is Daozang Changan of the Hojo family's Daidōji Temple, and the second is Ozo Choan of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, which has attracted countless discussions. "
Uesugi Kenshin said.
"The candidates for the Hojo family were the ones I promised to the Hojo clan. Although the Takeda expedition was abandoned halfway, the Hojo family still tried its best. What I promised must be fulfilled.
He is just a non-permanent director and cannot make any big waves. Back then, the Hojo family's power to sweep through the eight states was even more frightening, and the result was that they were unable to move even an inch. There was nothing to make a fuss about.
As for Ozo Changan, Sanada Nobunaga was determined to embarrass Daxiong Chaohide, and he had to push her enemy forward? ”….
Naoe Keizuna sighed.
"There are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua becomes the vanguard.
Unexpectedly, it was a stupid girl like Sanada Nobushige who created the momentum for the Western Expedition organized by the Kanto Palace.
A mere 10,000 soldiers made it difficult for Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu to move their eyes away. They supported Sanada Nobushige and Daxiong Chaohide in a dilemma. They really went back more and more with each passing day.
I think back then, when His Highness and Jindo Hall gathered a large number of troops, marched south to the Kanto region, and swept through the eight states of Guan, it was a mighty and mighty one. Those who obeyed me prospered, and those who went against me perished.
Unlike them, it's hard to achieve great things if they are like flies and dogs. "
Uesugi Kenshin looked at Naoe Keizuna who looked disappointed and said.
"What? Are you blaming me for having a falling out with Tsudo-don and not being willing to help?"
Naoe Keizuna kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Your Highness, I have absolutely no intention of doing this.
This minister just heard that Tsuta-dono sent a lot of children's things to Kasugayama Castle and showed great concern for His Highness Miyuki. "
Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help but look at the girl beside him and motioned for her to give Miyuki another hug.
Looking at the sleeping Miyuki, Uesugi Kenshin's eyes were filled with love and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"After all, father and daughter are connected, and he has always been a soft-hearted person.
For the sake of my children, I even swallowed my humility when using the Dharma name of Qian Xin, which seemed like I was acting recklessly and without mercy. "
Naoe Keizuna shook his head hard and said.
"Why did your Highness say this?
You and Tsudado joined forces to quell the chaos in Kanto and establish the overall pattern of Echigo's duopoly. They are a match made in heaven.
Even if there are some difficulties and obstacles on the road of life, in the end we have to face the ups and downs of the future together, and no one can do without the other. "
Kenshin Uesugi couldn't help laughing as he watched Naoe Keetsuna's words getting more and more disgusting.
The Uesugi retainers at that time were extremely repulsive to Shiba Yoshigan, and launched several actions against their pursuit of Shiba Yoshigan, so much so that he even had to raise a butcher's knife to frighten the concubines.
At this moment, Uesugi Kenshin might really have a falling out with Shiba Yoshigan, and it was these Uesugi retainers who were most afraid.
There is no way, Yoshihiro Shiba has given too much, and no one can bear to let Echigo's two-headed politics
One shot and two parts.
When Yoshihiro Shiba showed some signs of moderation, the Uesugi retainers immediately rejoiced and begged Uesugi Kenshin to reconcile the matter quickly.
Looking back on the past, the mentality of the Uesugi retainers has changed so much in the past few years that Uesugi Kenshin cannot suppress his smile.
She shook her shoulders and laughed for a long time, causing Miyuki who was sleeping in her arms to frown and cry.
The new hot mom Kenshin Uesugi was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She quickly coaxed her sweetheart to continue sleeping, so she didn't have time to laugh at Naoe Keizuna.
After Miyuki fell asleep again, Uesugi Kenshin slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Naoe Keizuna.
"You don't need to say much, I know it well.
I will not break up with Tsutado-don. Even for Miyuki, I cannot let Echigo's duopoly break up. I want to protect Miyuki's future. "
After the stage of angry demonstrations, Uesugi Kenshin also calmed down.
Shiba Yiyin couldn't bear to leave the child, so he sent a gift to the child to express his relief. Why should she, Kenshin Uesugi, be so aggressive that she really drove Yoshigan Shiba to pieces?
If the Shiba Uesugi family really went their separate ways, wouldn't the entire foundation of the Shiba family benefit from the evil descendants of the Takeda family?
Uesugi Kenshin has never been stupid. She knows that for Miyuki's future future, not only can she not break up, but she must further deepen the connection between the Shiba and Uesugi families.
The more Yoshigan Shiba cannot do without the support of the Uesugi family, the more he needs to seriously consider the future of Uesugi Miyuki.
The mother is more valuable than the daughter, and the daughter is more valuable because of the mother. This is actually the same truth.
Now that he understood this, Uesugi Kenshin naturally lost the motivation to continue vomiting. She is now even more impulsive than before, entangling the Echigo duopoly further.
Uesugi Kenshin watched the chaos at the Kanto Palace with a cold eye, with a hint of pride amidst the amusement.
How can you achieve anything by relying on these idiots who are both snake and rat? In the land of Kanto, Yoshihiro Shiba will finally have to rely on me, Kenshin Uesugi!
