Seeing Uesugi Kenshin's calmness and sobriety at the moment, Naoe Keizuna breathed a sigh of relief.
Uesugi Kenshin has always been a smart man and a powerful master. How could a generation of heroic masters who could suppress the unruly and brave Echigo samurai group be a mediocre person?
Even if she was trapped by love, she was trapped by Shiba Yiyin, a more powerful man from the martial arts family.
This couple worked together tacitly, and in a few years they managed to keep the Echigo samurai group in order, and they were willing to look after their homes and homes.
As long as Uesugi Kenshin wakes up and is willing to continue cooperating with Shiba Yoshigan, Naoe Keizuna has nothing to worry about.
As a representative of the pro-Shiba faction among the Uesugi retainers, Naoe Keizuna was also worried that the Echigo duopoly was too unstable and would cause trouble sooner or later.
In particular, Uesugi Kenshin has never had an heir. Whether it is Uesugi Kagekatsu, a close branch of the Echigo Nagao line, or Uesugi Kagetora, an adopted daughter from the Hojo family, they all have the right to inherit in theory.
However, Uesugi Kagekatsu and Uesugi Kagetora each had their own problems, and it was difficult for them to convince the public. In the end, they were afraid of civil strife and ruining the current good situation of Echigo country.
Sibo Yiyin also had the same problem. He also had no descendants and faced the dilemma of having no successors.
Therefore, even if the Echigo samurai group swept through the Kanhachishu, and the two masters of the Echigo duopoly were unparalleled in their prowess, the upward momentum would still be difficult to see for a long time, which was worrying.
But now, with the birth of Uesugi Miyuki, the Echigo duopoly has ushered in an unprecedented good opportunity, and the Shiba-Uesugi merger finally has a substantial successor.
No matter what minor discord there may be between Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi, as long as they are determined to continue to maintain the duopoly of Echigo, this legacy will ultimately belong to Miyuki Uesugi.
With Uesugi Miyuki, the Echigo Samurai Group has a backbone. The Echigo duopoly was no longer a temporary political compromise, but a platform on which to continue to mingle.
As a pro-Shiba faction in the Uesugi family, Naoe Keizuna was of course delighted.
It doesn't matter what quarrels Yoshigan Shiba and Kenshin Uesugi have. I just ask the two bosses, for the sake of their children, never to lift the table, to talk to each other properly, and to discuss everything easily.
Uesugi Kenshin calmed down and decided to continue to maintain the Echigo duopolitan structure for the sake of his children. Naoe Keizuna naturally welcomed him with both hands.
However, Uesugi Kenshin changed the topic and sighed again.
"There are many things happening in Kanto. Even if this troop dispatch can take place, there will not be too many troops."
Naoe Keizuna was stunned and asked.
"Why do you say this, Your Highness? As long as you climb up and shout, respond to Jinduo Hall.
With the power of the Echigo samurai group, it was easy to unite the samurai clan of the eight states of Guan and raise a hundred thousand troops to attack Luo Qin's curtain. "
Terutora Uesugi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Back then, I also doubted that Takeda Shingen no longer had great ambitions, but he just stopped moving forward after taking over the Suruga Kingdom, leaving the Tokugawa family as far away as possible, and that’s why he is now constrained.
But when this happened to me, I realized that Takeda Shingen was not to blame. If I were to blame, it could only be that Tsutadoden's seeds were too strong.
That enemy, no wonder there are rumors that he is a god descending to earth, he is really not a human being. "
Uesugi Kenshin was so doting that he glanced at the sleeping Uesugi Miyuki and sighed to Naoe Keizuna.
"My vitality was severely damaged due to giving birth to Miyuki, and I am too weak. If I want to fully recover, I'm afraid I will have to rest for a long time.
Leading hundreds of thousands of people on a thousand-mile expedition is no easy task, and my current body cannot support it. "
Naoe Keizuna took a closer look at Uesugi Kenshin and saw that his face was weak and weak, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It has long been heard that the bloodline of Jinduodian is extremely powerful, and the mother's body that gives birth to his children will be weak for several years.
Back then, Takeda Shingen gave birth to a daughter and was forced to interrupt his conquest plan. Today Uesugi Kenshin gave birth to a daughter and was forced to cancel his personal recruitment.
In particular, Takeda Yoshinobu and Uesugi Miyuki's physiques are different from ordinary babies. They are stronger and smarter than ordinary people, which has attracted countless speculations.
After the miracle at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the Kanto samurai family always respected Shiba Yoshigan as their divine envoy. At this time, there were even more rumors circulating, including many of Ji Samurai calling the son of Shiba Yoshiyin as a divine descendant.
Naoe Keizuna was in awe, and the way he looked at Uesugi Miyuki became a little different.
Uesugi Kenshin continued regardless of what she was thinking.
"Without me personally commanding the troops, no matter in terms of status or prestige, no one from the Kanto concubines will be able to lead the coalition. One hundred thousand people may not be able to gather together, and even the hearts of the people will be scattered."
Uesugi Kenshin's identity is unusual. She is not only the Lord of Echigo, Yoshihiro Shiba's most important ally in Kanto, but also the Kanto leader within the Kanto system.
If she leads the army in person, no matter what the princesses of Guandong have in mind, they should send troops anyway. If they don't obey, they will really be beaten.
But Uesugi Kenshin was weak after childbirth, and it would be difficult for Kanto to choose a powerful character that could convince all the samurai.
The top three in Kanto, Uesugi Takeda Hojo.
Not to mention that Uesugi Kenshin was weak after childbirth, Hojo Ujiyasu passed away, and the Hojo family's political prestige was insufficient. The Hojo retainers group had long since lost the vigor that swept through Sekishu.
Takeda Shingen became the target of public criticism because he humiliated Shiba Yoshigan and gave birth to a daughter. Naturally, he did not have the moral desire to control the concubines.
What's more, the three powerful vassals of Tokaido are restraining each other.
Although Tokugawa Ieyasu did not want to be caught between the two eldest brothers and eldest sister Shiba Oda, he would not allow others to go from his own territory to cause trouble in Konki.
Takeda Shingen went to Luo and had already smashed the Toe country to pieces, leaving Tokugawa Ieyasu to waste several years of construction.
No matter what others say, Tokugawa Ieyasu will tighten the fence and not give others the chance to mess with him again.
Originally, with the strength of the Takeda and Hojo families joining forces, Tokugawa Ieyasu would never be able to stop him, but the discord between the Takeda and Hojo families was too deep.
As a father-in-law, the Imagawa family is really a knot between the two families.
The Hojo family captured Suruga Kingdom's Jundong County and fought back to Suruga Kingdom holding the banner of the Imagawa clan. In order to protect themselves, the Takeda family has begun to purge the Suruga people to prevent insiders.
For selfish reasons, Shiba Yoshigan was humiliated by Takeda Shingen to give birth to a daughter, which made Hojo Ushimasa, who admired Shiba Yoshigan, hate Takeda Shingen to death.
Rather than believing that the Takeda and Hojo families can join forces to attack Luo, it is better to believe that the Hojo family will join forces with the Tokugawa family to kill Takeda Shingen first.
And Takeda Shingen himself also knew that Yoshigan Shiba's admirers were all over Kanto, and there were warriors who hated him everywhere.
Now, the Takeda family's strategy has completely changed. Takeda Shingen just hangs back and protects his own territory.
The Takeda family's hope is not in Kai Country, but in Takeda Yoshinobu in Kyoto.
The three powerful vassals of Tokaido are staring at each other. When the Kwantung Allied Forces go to Luo to fight, they are destined to stay out of it.
In the realm of Sekishu, if Uesugi Hojo is not the leader, who has the qualifications to command the females?
Although the influence of the Kanto Palace is slowly rising, without Shiba Yoshigan taking charge of the overall situation, it is nothing more than wrangling and unable to accomplish anything major.
Uesugi Kenshin said.
"No matter how hard the Guandong Waiting Office works, it's just a ball of loose sand. That's all, let me help them again.
I will allow the girls of the Uesugi retainers to mobilize for the battle as a united front, and support Nobushige Sanada as the vanguard general this time.
Sanada Nobushige and Okuma Asahide are not on good terms, so Naoetsu has asked Mr. Naoe Keizuna to give some preferential treatment to the Sanada family, and the Uesugi family girls should try their best to cooperate. "
Naoe Keizuna looked at Uesugi Kenshin with some hesitation.
"Your Highness, you want us to help Sanada Nobushige carry the sedan?
We, Echigo, have a lot of talented people and have formed our own army. Why do we need to cheer for the Sanada people? "
Uesugi Kenshin sneered.
"Yes, there are many talents.
Kakizaki Keie of the Naoomi faction, Saito Tonobu, former guardian Yamamotoji Nobunaga, Murakami Yoshikiyo of the Hokushin faction, Nakajo Fujisei of the Shimogotsu faction, Uesugi Kagenobu of the Nagao faction, and Kawada Nagauchi of the Omi faction.
Without me or Tsudo-don personally commanding the army, they themselves would be dissatisfied with each other and would have to compete first. "
Naoe Keizuna smiled bitterly and said nothing. Uesugi Kenshin was trying to save her face by not mentioning her name from the Naoe sect.
The relationship between the Echigo samurai group is complicated, and the Uesugi retainers group is even more mixed.
In terms of strength, the Echigo samurai group is a well-known powerful clan. But there are too many hills in Echigo, and the two big guys who can control everyone are Shiba Yoshigan and Uesugi Kenshin.
Only then did Uesugi Kenshin name a few of his subordinates. Yoshihiro Shiba's Kanto Waiting Office hadn't mentioned them yet, but they were all just one word, messy.
This time the Kwantung Allied Forces went to Luo to help Sibo Yiyin fight.
If these troops really arrived nearby and came under the command of Sibo Yiyin, things would be easier to handle. No matter how powerful the prick is, he has to stop eating when he encounters Sibo Yiyin. He is afraid that the problem will occur on the road.
If Kenshin Uesugi promoted one of his own to be a vanguard general, no one would be convinced, and there would be riots before the army even went out.
Therefore, she promoted Sanada Nobunshige as the vanguard general and asked the Uesugi girls to support Sanada Nobunshige, which made it less likely to cause trouble.
Anyway, some people would rather take advantage of outsiders than their own opponents.
Naoe Keizuna asked.
"Since Your Highness wants to promote the Kanto Palace, why should it be no one else but Sanada Nobushige?"
Uesugi Kenshin said.
"The three giants of the Guandong Palace, Daxiong Chaoxiu is in charge of logistics, and they will definitely not go to the battlefield.
The subordinates of Yamanaka Yukimori are mainly the following Yuezhong, and Tsutadoden has been ordering them to pay attention to the Ou area and restrain Date Masamune who is about to make a move.
Dao Shengmeng is stationed in Guanbazhou to intimidate the Dongfang people who are defending themselves together, as well as Boso peninsula, which is getting closer to the Dongfang people.
Even if the two of them wanted to send troops, they couldn't spare many manpower. On the contrary, Nishi Ueno was very bold this time. Sanada Nobushige claimed to have dispatched 10,000 troops, the best in Kanto.
The Sanada people already considered themselves the most powerful soldiers in the Kanto Palace, but this time they came out in full force to share your worries. Since I want to fully support Tsutado-den, I should naturally support loyal ministers and good generals like Sanada Nobushige.
It's just that Sanada Nobushige and Ohkuma Asahide seemed to be having a very unpleasant quarrel, and even asked Ozo Changan to protect their logistics.
When I asked you to give preferential treatment to Nobushige Sanada, you also had the overall situation in mind. Don't let Da Xiong Chao Xiu make any mistakes in a moment of enthusiasm. "
Naoe Keizuna nodded to express her understanding, but she always felt that her master was hiding something.
In fact, Uesugi Kenshin had another reason for helping Sanada Nobushige, which was that she was disgusted with Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo, and wanted to drag Sanada Nobushige into the ring to compete with them.
In the world today, the one Uesugi Kenshin hates most is Takeda Shingen.
First, Takeda Shingen Shiota Castle humiliated Shiba Yoshigan and stole the seeds. Uesugi Kenshin was concealed for several years and felt deeply ashamed.
Secondly, Takeda Shingen's daughter is Shiba's daughter, and Uesugi Kenshin's daughter is the second daughter. For the sake of future disputes over Shiba's succession, Uesugi Kenshin could not tolerate Takeda Shingen's continued arrogance.
However, during Takeda's conquest, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeru seemed angry, but they always had a backup plan and were wary of Uesugi Kenshin who concealed his pregnancy.
As soon as Yoshigan Shiba's letter arrived, the two men changed their tune, leading to the failure of Takeda's expedition.
Only Sanada Nobushige really hated Takeda Shingen so much that he even disobeyed Yoshigan Shiba's orders and persisted in Takeda's attack. As a result, he had a fierce conflict with Ohkuma Asahide.
In Uesugi Kenshin's eyes, the so-called three giants of the Kanto shrine, Yamazaka Yukimori, Dao Shengmeng, and Daxiong Chaoxiu, are all feeding to unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
Instead of counting on them, it is better to help Sanada Nobunaga to build a good relationship. If something happens in the future, Sanada Nobunaga will definitely do his best to kill Takeda Shingen, enough to make him an ally.
How did Naoe Keizuna know that Uesugi Kenshin had already thought of so many things and done so many backup plans for his daughter's future.
She just lamented that Sanada Nobushige was lucky. In this western expedition to Oda, Sanada Nobushige would probably lead the way, and his future would be even brighter.
———
Even Sanada Nobushige himself did not expect that she would inexplicably become the core figure of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and was pushed to the forefront of the storm by the major undercurrents, intentionally or unintentionally.
Originally, Umino Toshio just wanted to prepare for a rainy day, use the Sanada people's best military skills to offset the malicious suppression of Daxiong Asahi, and try his best to find room for maneuver in the future.
Sanada Nobushige was advised by her to nominate Ozo Changan to form a good relationship, but he did not want to trigger the suppression of Daxiong Chaohide by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Katsuruo.
In order to clear away the blame for Takeda's attack, Ohkuma Asahide once complained to Shiba Yoshigan behind his back, which made Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Meng unhappy, so they took the opportunity to give Ohkuma Asahide some color.
Sanada Nobunshige's little support is nothing. If Ozo Changan is on the list, it must be because the two big guys, Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo, have used their hands and feet to make Daxiong Asahi's suffering unspeakable.
On the other side, Uesugi Kenshin, who was extremely annoyed because the Takeda expedition was forced to terminate, also wanted to take the opportunity to support Sanada Nobushige and prepare for the next Takeda expedition.
By the way, he found an opponent for Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeru at the Kanto Palace to avenge them for changing their ways and causing Takeda's attack to end their hatred in a hurry.
Sanada Nobushige, who deeply hated Takeda Shingen, became Uesugi Kenshin's favored candidate and received preferential logistical treatment from Naoe Keizuna.
After several rounds of competition between people inside and outside, Sanada Nobushige suddenly found that he had become the vanguard general of the Kwantung Allied Forces and the much-anticipated rising star of Kwantung.
Even big guys like Yukimori Yamanaka and Takeo Shimakatsu were overshadowed by the brilliance of the Sanada clan.
As a result of the big guys like Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, and Hojo Ushimasa keeping a low profile and not coming forward to interfere, the Sanada people became the main force of the Kanto Allied Forces.
It is true that things in the world are unpredictable and unexpected.
