Yiyin felt proud that he was unparalleled in the world whether on the battlefield or in bed.
Now that he is on the Shinto path, the great names of the Wu family are bowing down and licking each other, vying to sleep with him, to provide him with family property and give birth to children. It is such a cool plot.
When the Tokaido trade route is taken over, the door is closed, and the land of Kanto is exclusively occupied, the Shiba family's food stamp financial system will surely reach a higher level with more land resources to support it.
From now on, if you want money, you will have people, and in two years at most, the Spo family will become stronger and more powerful than ever!
Just as Yoshigan was thinking happily, Hojo Ushimasa whispered beside him.
"Before handing over the territory, there is one more thing I hope to get the saint's permission for."
"you say."
"I want to eradicate the scourge of Ota Yasushi for the saint, so that she will not have evil intentions and cause trouble for the saint."
Yiyin narrowed his eyes.
"Ota Yasushi? Is she feeling uneasy?"
The ancestors of the Ota family made great contributions to the Ogitani Uesugi family, helping the Ogitani Uesugi family to rise. They once suppressed the Yamauchi Uesugi family and competed for the control of Kantō.
Musashi Province is the old foundation of the Ogidani Uesugi family. The three important towns of Musashi Province, Kawagoe Castle, Iwaki Castle, and Edo Castle, were built by the ancestors of the Ota family.
After the rise of the Hojo family, the Kamakura Ashikaga family, the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and the Ogidani Uesugi family finally felt threatened. The three families' coalition forces gathered to attack the Hojo family and besieged Kawagoe Castle.
At that time, the Hojo family was indeed on the verge of destruction. But in the subsequent night battle in Kawagoe, the three coalition forces were defeated by the Hojo family's desperate counterattack.
The Kanto shogun of the Kamakura Ashikaga family became a puppet of the Hojo family, and the two Uesugi families were wiped out. Only Uesugi Kenmasa, the Yamauchi Uesugi family, fled to Echigo country alone.
Uesugi Kenshin was unable to retaliate, so he simply accepted Uesugi Kenshin as his adopted daughter, and handed over the title of Yamauchi Uesugi family and Kanto governor to Uesugi Kenshin, hoping that Uesugi Kenshin would avenge the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
After that, Uesugi Kenshin went to Luo and met Yoshigan. The two returned to Echigo Kingdom and jointly launched the Kanto Strategy.
In short, Uesugi Kensei's expectations have been disappointed. Because of the emergence of the Kanto Secretariat, the entire Kanto system is being replaced by the new Kanto Secretariat Grand Council.
The Kanto general Ashikaga Yoshi who was led by Furukawa was almost forgotten by the Kanto samurai family. The Hojo family also joined the big family of the Kanto shrine. Uesugi Kenshin did not mention the blood feud of the Uesugi family in Yamauchi at all.
After the night battle in Kawagoe, the Hojo family quickly swallowed up the Musashi Kingdom. The Ota family, which originally had great prestige in the Musashi Kingdom, also had a different attitude towards the overlord of the Hojo family.
The Ota family of Edo Castle was descended from the daughter of the ancestor of Ota. The mother of the governor Yasushi Ota actively moved closer to the Hojo family and became a powerful samurai family under the Hojo family.
The Ota family of Iwaki Castle, which was the niece of Ota's ancestor, had a family governor, Ota Shimasa, who was openly dissatisfied. On the surface, she surrendered to the Hojo family, but she quickly moved closer to the Uesugi family after Kenshin Uesugi came to kill her.
To this day, Ota Shimasa of Iwaki Castle is still a powerful local samurai family loyal to Uesugi Kenshin, and is a nail for the Uesugi family on the northern border of Musashi Country.
The behavior of Ota Yasushi is more intriguing, and it cannot be wrong. It can only be said that he is a very traditional Kwanpachi warrior family, and he is as treacherous as drinking water and eating.
Edo Castle is located at the outlet of the lower reaches of the Tone River, across the river from Shimo-song Province. Its geographical location is very important and it is the bridgehead for the Hojo family to enter and exit Shimo-song Province.
Of course, the Hojo family would not trust such an important city to be handed over to outsiders like the Ohta family in Edo Castle, so Hojo Ujiyasu used a trick.
Hojo Uyasu retained the position of Edo Castle Lord of Ota Yasushi's mother, but on the grounds that Edo Castle was important and busy with affairs, he sent two more Castle Lords to Edo Castle, and the three of them were collectively called the Edo people.
The most prestigious of the three people in Edo, the Hojo veteran Toyama Tsunakage, also married his son to Ota Yasushi, who was her mother-in-law.
In this way, the power of the Ota family in Edo Castle was diluted. Especially after Ota Yasushi succeeded as the family governor, they were suppressed to death and unwilling to accept it.
Sano led the battle, and the Hojo family was defeated.
Ota Yasushi took the opportunity to sell out his mother-in-law and put two other Edo people to death. He ran back to Edo Castle alone and left the Hojo family to stand on his own.
At that time, the Hojo family and Odawara Castle were besieged by the Kanto Allied Forces led by Yoshigan and Uesugi Kenshin, and they had no time to take care of themselves.
Hojo Ujiyasu desperately wrote letters to samurai families from all over the world, understanding their feelings of self-preservation. As long as they did not send people and provide food to help the Kwantung Allied Forces, the Hojo family would be grateful.
In the end, the Hojo family's Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura was forced to recognize Uesugi Kenshin as the Kanto leader, losing control of the Kanto system and becoming a local power.
Later, Miyoshi went to Luo to kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Yoshihiro rushed back to Kinki.
Uesugi Kenshin was eager for quick success and launched a new offensive on his own. However, he was tricked by the Hojo family in Shimoso Kingdom, and the Kanto strategy could only fail.
Nishi Musashi's stubborn anti-Hojo faction, Oishi Sadahisa, was attacked and killed by the Hojo family, and the land of Nishi Musashi fell back into the control of the Hojo family.
The Higashi Musashi land was close to the Uesugi family's range of strength. Hojo Ujiyasu was unwilling to provoke again, so he wrote to the local samurai family to gently persuade him to return to the Higashi Musashi land.
Ota Shimasa of Iwaki Castle casually tore up Hojo Ujiyasu's letter as tissue paper, but Ota Yasushi of Edo Castle saw the Uesugi family's power ebbing, so he was so shameless that he returned to the Hojo family.
During the battle of the Sano leader, Ota Yasushi betrayed the main force of the Hojo family on the southern front and took the lead in rebelling and escaping. Of course, the Hojo family hated her.
However, considering the overall situation, Hojo Ujiyasu accepted Ota Yasuji's surrender.
Seeing that the Hojo family was generous and did not even pursue Ota Yasushi's crimes, the Higashimusashi warriors returned to the Hojo family with peace of mind.
Yiyin has its own intelligence agency in Kanto, and of course it knows everything about these old things in Tomusashi.
When Hojo Umasa asked Yoshigashi, he quickly explained.
“Sage, I do deeply hate Ota Yasushi’s betrayal, but my request to remove this hidden danger for you is indeed out of public interest.
Ota Yasushi was cunning and disloyal to his ministers. He regarded Edo City as his private property and committed countless evil deeds for this purpose.
Due to the diversion project in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River in the Higashi Musashi area, flooding has been reduced, especially in the tributaries of the Shinagawa and Edogawa rivers.
Edo Castle is located at the mouth of the Edog River, and the surrounding alluvial plains are fertile. Now that floods have been eliminated, new cultivated land has more than doubled.
The local bay is superior and a large port can be built. Edo Bay and Sagami Bay are closely related to the Tokaido, and merchant ships travel directly to Ise Bay.
Saint, for the sake of the samurai family in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, you have built water conservancy and diverted the torrent, which will benefit the present and future generations.
Today's Edo Castle has become the center of the Kanto land, with convenient transportation and prosperity, even better than the Furukawa Territory where the Kanto shogun was stationed.
How can Ota Yasushi occupy this place? Only you, the saint, are worthy of Edo Castle.
Moreover, the Echigo Imperial Palace was too remote as the location for the Grand Council of the Kanto Palace.
Especially for the spring review, the Kanhachishu samurai family had to cross the Echigo Mountains in winter, and it was really miserable to rush to the Imperial Palace at the beginning of spring to participate.
Not to mention the difficult journey, there are few viable roads in the Echigo Mountains in winter, there are many avalanches, and safety is difficult to guarantee. "
Yoshigami understood what Hojo Ushimasa meant, and it was probably that a common man was not guilty, but that he was guilty of having a jade in his possession.
The Kanto shogun of the Kamakura Ashikaga family moved his imperial palace and settled in Furukawa Castle, the main kingdom. There were factors of political struggle, but the biggest reason was the location of the Furukawa territory.
The Furukawa Territory is located in the center of the Kanto Plain and is a waterway and land hub. Although the plain is not conducive to defense, its geographical location is accessible in all directions, making it the best choice to contact the entire eight states of Kanto.
There are few powerful leaders in the island country's political power, and most of them rely on the support of powerful local martial artists.
The Furukawa Territory itself is not conducive to defense, but it is actually not a big deal. The Kanto General can escape. Anyway, the island country does not have the tradition of the emperor guarding the country. If he cannot be defeated, he will run away and scare others.
However, as the location of the government office where it is convenient to contact local samurai families and support their own governance, Furukawa Territory is the most suitable location.
Because of the initial results of the diversion project in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, the economic value of the Edogawa Basin has been reflected, and the local samurai family is grateful to Yoshibank.
According to the wishes of the Hojo Ujimasa, let the Hojo family act as a white glove for once and take the blame to kill Ota Yasushi, so that Yoshibank can settle in Edo Castle and make this place the political center of the Shiba family in Kanto.
The Edo Territory was used to replace the Furukawa Territory. From then on, the Kanto system was completely swept into the garbage dump of history, and Kanto officially entered a new era of the Kanto Palace.
Yoshigami glanced at the Hojo family. The Hojo family also had their own selfish motives. This was a conspiracy.
The Echigo Imperial Palace is the government hall jointly used by Yoshigan and Uesugi Kenshin, and is a symbol of Echigo's dual politics.
The meeting place of the Kanto Palace Council and the daily office of the Standing Council were all located in the Imperial Palace. This also made the Uesugi family's political status in the Kanto Palace significantly higher than that of other families.
The Hojo family had just presented the Tomusashi land, and they were busy hoping that Yoshigan could move the political functions of the Kanto Palace to Edo Castle.
Nominally, it is considered for the Kwanpachi Warrior Family. After all, the Kwanpachi Warrior Family, as the main body of the Kanto Palace, the Princess Warriors, really needs the attention of Yiyin.
However, if the functions of the Kanto Palace were rashly moved out of the imperial palace, it would inevitably give people the illusion that the Uesugi family had fallen out of favor and their political status had declined.
Yoshigami glanced at Hojo Umasa, feeling relieved and sighing at the same time.
Just now, I was worried that the Hojo clan was too weak to protect the interests of the divine Hojo family. It seemed that I was overly worried.
The weakness of the Hojo clan is only for Yoshigami himself. The mediocrity of Hojo Ujimasa is also compared to the strength of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin.
In the eyes of others, Hojo Ushimasa is also a big boss and very powerful. How could the Sagami lion cub trained by Hojo Ujiyasu himself be weak?
No, as soon as Hojo Umasa climbed onto Yoshigan's bed, he was ready to give Uesugi Kenshin some color to compete for the political status of the Kanto Palace.
Is Hojo Ushimasa's suggestion reasonable? Very reasonable.
The Guanbazhou Warrior Family is the main body of the Guandong Palace, and the Guandong Plain is the main grain-producing area in Guandong. It has a large population and fertile land. As long as the economy is done carefully, it can be regarded as the best in the world.
In the future, Yoshibank will definitely tilt the focus of the Kanto Palace to the Kanto Plain. Hojo Ushimasa's idea of making Edo Castle the political center may be the best choice for Yoshibank in the future.
But the problem is, this political change shouldn't happen now.
Kenshin Uesugi had just given birth to a child, and his ambitions were growing. And Yoshigami deliberately returned via the Tokaido Road, favored Takeda Shingen along the way, and slept with Hojo Ushimasa. What would Uesugi Kenshin think?
Yiyin hopes that in the future, all the Shiba Goddess families will be harmonious and united, and they will join forces to rule the island country, control the islanders with divine power, and achieve eternal prosperity forever.
He wanted to eliminate Uesugi Kenshin's ambition through various means, rather than anger Uesugi Kenshin and force Uesugi Kenshin to turn against him.
Therefore, although Hojo Ujimasa's idea is beneficial to Yoshigan, Yoshigan must not agree to it now.
