Uesugi Kenshin finally understood that in this troubled world, whoever is shameless enough will live comfortably.
She used to be too proud, too traditional, unwilling to put down her body to compete with others, and she cared too much about the false reputation of being the leader of Guandong.
In the final analysis, Uesugi Kenshin lived within the old structure of the shogunate system and exerted his influence in a way that maintained the old traditions.
But as times change, the Ashikaga Shogunate has become a thing of the past. The most important thing at this time is to embrace the new era and find its own position within the new system.
Uesugi Kenshin, who was still living in the glory of the past and was confused, finally learned the hard way after giving birth to Uesugi Miyuki.
When she was alone, she could naturally have no inhibitions and be as willful as she wanted, but now that she has a daughter, she cannot be irresponsible.
In the past, Uesugi Kenshin was very airy. Now she plans to take off her gown and join in the mischief with everyone.
Based on her understanding of Yoshigan, this strategy of both soft and hard tactics immediately amazed Naoe Keizuna and Honjo Mino. It turns out that they are the people who know the saint best, and they will definitely be able to control the saint to death.
At this time, Yoshigami still didn't know about Uesugi Kenshin's changes, and he was planning to use old methods to deceive this arrogant Kanto leader. It was destined that Yoshiyin would fall in front of Uesugi Kenshin.
In the Dahu City Hall, Yoshiyin hugged Yamazaka Yukimori and was tenderly treating him afterwards.
It's funny to say that Shima Shengmeng tried his best to squeeze out the righteous silver, just to give Yamanaka Yukimori a piece of cake so that she wouldn't be able to eat it.
Unexpectedly, due to the unexpected factor of Date Masamune, Yamanaka Yukimori had to come more than ten days late. As a result, Yoshihiro regained his strength and was able to reward the deacon of the Kanto Palace.
Dao Shengmeng not only worked hard in vain, but also endured the cynicism from the Kamao clan. He really lost his husband and lost his army, which made him very depressed.
At this moment, Shima Shengmeng was nestled in the side courtyard of the residence hall, thinking about Yamanaka Yukimori feasting on Yoshiyin, and wondered what he would think.
Regardless of whether Dao Shengmeng's thoughts were bitter or not, Yiyin felt very happy anyway.
Over the years, he had watched Yukimori Yamazaka step by step, growing from youthful and pure to the mature and charming person he is now. It was really a rough journey, and he was filled with emotions.
At this time, Yamanaka Yukimori has long since faded away from the youthfulness of the past, and her every smile is radiant. She deserves to be the most beautiful woman in the Shiba family.
In the early days, Yiyin trusted her, but the rumors behind her always said that her talent was mediocre and she rose to the position simply because of her good face.
Yamanaka Yukimori was dissatisfied and tried hard to prove herself. As a result, she got into a lot of trouble and was so tired that Yoshigami wiped her butt behind her back.
At this time, Yamanaka Yukimori is no longer the impetuous girl she used to be. She is able to remain calm and smile when faced with those rumors.
As the deacon of the Kanto Palace, a permanent member of the Standing Council, and the only leader of a party in Nizi Mountain, her powerful position is one that no martial artist dares to despise.
A favored minister will be a favored minister, and a favored minister will be a favored minister. Just envy, envy, and hate me. I don't care.
Now lying in Yiyin's arms,. The saint's love for her is still the same. If she can conceive a divine descendant, her status will be more solid and unshakable.
Yiyin rubbed his fingers. He felt a little regretful now. It would be perfect if he could have another cigarette afterward at this time.
Yoshigan asked, looking down at Yukimori Yamanaka who was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yamanaka Yukimori nestled on Yi Gin's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and said foolishly.
"I want to be with the saint forever."
Yiyin laughed dumbly, hugged her, kissed her forehead, and said.
"Then we'll be together forever."
Yamanaka Yukimori sighed.
"I can't monopolize the saint. I know the importance in my heart. If you are willing to coax me, I will be very happy.
By the way, Date Masamune knelt in the courtyard for a long time. Although the weather has stopped snowing and has become warmer, it is even colder when the snow melts.
How long will the saint punish her to kneel? I'm worried that if she can't hold on and dies here, she'll be in trouble again. "
Date Masamune was brought by Yamanaka Yukimori from the south. If she died on her knees like this, Yamanaka Yukimori was somewhat involved.
But Yoshigan disagreed. He had no good impression of Date Masamune, a young careerist.
Every time when Yoshigage looked away from Ou and wanted to do something in Kinki Kanto, Date Masamune would take the opportunity to jump out and cause some trouble, which really made him sick.
This time Date Masamune went south to plead guilty, not because she truly surrendered, but because she was forced by the situation. If her life was not strong enough and she could not hold on and froze to death in the courtyard, Yiyin wouldn't care to send her to her grave.
Even though the Date family was a hegemon in the Ou area, in front of Yoshigan, they were not considered anyone worthy of fear.
Regardless of whether it is the Date family, the Mogami family, or the powerful martial arts families large and small in Ou, as long as they are not unified under one banner, they cannot threaten Yoshigan.
The key to the Ou area is the door between Yonezawa and Aizu. As long as the Ou family is blocked behind this door, they will not be able to cause any big trouble.
The current Yiyin is not interested in cheap relatives like the Mogami family or ambitious expansion forces like the Date family.
What he values more is the land of Guanbazhou and the crusade of the Eastern people that will be carried out later.
As long as the people of the East are captured and the entire Guanbazhou Wu family is in their hands, the future of Kanto belongs to the Sibo family.
As for Ou's problem, it's just a scabies disease. As long as the developed Guan Hachishu warriors are circled and a is over, the trouble will be gone.
Although the Ou area is large, it was underdeveloped in the Middle Ages and it was difficult to achieve great things. As long as the Guanbazhou area is pacified, the Oyu warrior family will have no choice but to surrender and surrender.
Therefore, whether Date Masamune dies or not depends on her life. If she really froze to death, Yiyin wouldn't care too much about her bad luck.
But Yamanaka Yukimori's reaction was half a beat too slow, or perhaps she valued the Ou area too much and couldn't help but persuade him.
"After all, the Date family is the guardian of the Mutsu Kingdom recognized by the shogunate. Although Date Masamune made mistakes as the family governor, the saint really wanted to freeze her to death in Dahu City, for fear of hurting your name of kindness."
The history of the Date family can also be said to be a history of giving gifts. This family is very good at establishing a good relationship with the central shogunate.
Originally, the Osaki family and the Mogami family, who had the highest family status in the Ou area, were entrusted with important tasks by the shogunate and took on the task of exploring the issue.
But no matter how close the relationship was, they became estranged after a few generations, nothing like the Date family who sent large and small gifts to Kyoto, went to Luo from time to time to please the general, and finally got a guardian from Mutsu Kingdom.
Mutsu Province and Dewa Province have not had guardians since ancient times, and Oshu Tentai and Yushu Tentai are permanent ministers.
For the first time, the Date family got back a freshly minted Mutsu guardian, and from then on they suppressed the Osaki family's status as the Oshu Quest.
But the current situation is that the shogunate is in decline and the general can't even fart. It is really far-fetched for Yamanaka Yukimori to use this Mutsu guardian to plead for Date Masamune.
Yoshigami couldn't help but glance at Yamanaka Yukimori one more time and asked.
"You speak for her like this, but what benefits did she promise you?"
Yamanaka Yukimori shook his head.
"She is a guilty official, she travels lightly, she disguises herself, and goes south to plead guilty. She doesn't have any bribes to bring with her.
I'm just worried that there will be chaos in the Ou area again. Although Date Masamune is hateful, he is an undisputed important figure in the Ou area. If she dies here, Ou will be in chaos. "
Yiyin sighed.
"Oyu, let's just be in trouble, what does it have to do with us?
Osaki Mogami and other members of the family are unreliable, and I cannot trust the submission of an ambitious man like Date Masamune. Let them go as they please, and then take care of them after Guan Bazhou is settled.
You are so nervous about Ou. Could it be that you have some thoughts about Ou? "
Yamanaka Yukimori smiled shyly.
"Nothing can be hidden from the Saint. The crusade against the Eastern People is imminent, but the Ou area is also a part of Kanto. I think the Kanto Palace should not ignore Ou too much."
Yoshigami glanced at Yamanaka Yukimori, and felt a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
This time, the most active people in the crusade against the East were the Uesugi, Hojo, and Takeda families. They each coveted the fertile lands of Shimono, Bosou Peninsula, and Hitachi.
Next, the Kanhachishu samurai family also plans to take a share of the pie. The island dominated by Shiba in Kanto is Shengmeng and she lives in the Ueno country in Kanhachishu. Everyone must also pay tribute to the Shiba family.
But far away in the mountains of Echigo country, Yukimori could hardly gain any benefit from the war against the Eastern people.
Although the Takeda family is far apart from the Satake family, the two families are originally from the same family. Kinship injustice, replacing them is also a way for the samurai family to expand, and the local samurai family also acknowledges it.
But Yamanaka Yukimori has no name or status in Guanbazhou, and only carries the name of a deacon of the Kanto Waiting Office. Who would be willing to let her get an extra share of the pie?
Even if he showed respect in name and shared some soup and water, Yukimori Yamanaka would still look down on him.
Yamanaka Yukimori, with Toroo Castle and the Shimogotsu tribe as the core, crossed the Echigo Mountains to get some soup from the Kanhachishu region. It was obviously not interesting, and her subordinates would not be active.
But if he just watched everyone eat meat, the gap in strength between himself and his competitors would be widened, which would be intolerable to Yamanaka Yukimori.
From Yamanaka Yukimori's perspective, she may not be able to see the benefits of the Ou area, but her subordinates, Honjo Noganaga and Kaji Kagetsuna, are not good people, so they will naturally instigate her to go out and grab territory.
Today's political situation has become very clear. Two things are most important to Yamanaka Yukimori.
One is to take advantage of Yiyin's favor to conceive a divine descendant. Another thing is that we can't let the Shiba family fall behind during the rapid development of Kanto.
Only with children and strength can the Yamanaka family's status be guaranteed and they will not be left behind by love rivals.
Although Date Masamune was hateful, if she froze to death after being brought by Yamanaka Yukimori, then the Date family must be very disgusted with Yamanaka Yukimori's intervention in Ou.
The Date family has been operating in the Ou area for hundreds of years, and many local wealthy families have become retainers, and their influence is deep-rooted.
These people will not abandon the Date family just because Date Masamune dies. Instead, they will share the same hatred and resist Yamanaka Yukimori's penetration into the Ou area because of Date Masamune's death.
Thinking about it conversely, if Date Masamune can get through this test safely, she must recognize Yamanaka Yukimori's favor, and Yamanaka Yukimori's success rate in expanding her power in the Ou area will be higher.
Yiyin shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
As his status gets higher and higher, the thoughts of the women around him become more and more complicated.
Fighting for the god's seed, fighting for children, fighting for territory, no one will stop. . Except Yuigahama Yui who couldn't help her.
Yiyin is not disgusted with this.
The Wu family fears power but not morality. Only if their women are strong can they embody the incomparable dignity of Yiyin's divine descendants and ensure the sanctity of Sibo's divine right.
Instead, it was Yuigahama Yui's mess that gave Yoshigin a headache, not knowing what to do to protect her and her children.
Seeing that Yoshigage was thoughtful and not directly rejecting his suggestion, Yamanaka Yukisho boldly spoke again.
“The saint is wise and has a thousand-mile vision.
Crushing the people in the east and integrating the Guanbazhou area is indeed the top priority at the moment. As long as the Guanbazhou is in hand, the entire Guandong martial arts family will only obey.
But even so, we should not let the Ou warrior family provoke the Kanto Palace and ignore your majesty.
Previously, the Osaki Mogami family asked you for help in the name of the Shiba clan, and with your help, they suppressed the Date family's ambitions.
But later, when you attacked the Oda family, the Osaki family and the Mogami family were ungrateful, and the Date family even took the opportunity to make a comeback.
If their capriciousness is not taught a lesson, it will make the Ou warriors underestimate your majesty.
Even if Guan Bazhou surrenders in the future, and Aoyu has to surrender, they will still be dissatisfied, they will still be disobedient, and they will still not respect you enough.
Therefore, even if the crusade against the people of the East is the top priority of the Kanto Palace, the Ou region should not be completely ignored. The Kanto Palace should take a stand.
I beg the sage to think twice. "
Yoshigan felt a little funny in his heart when he saw Yamanaka Yukimori huddled in his arms and talking.
To seize territory is to seize territory. He said it righteously and looked like he was completely thinking about the saint. Yamanaka Yukimori is also a bad example now.
Yiyin asked.
"Then what do you think?"
Hearing Yoshigami loose his mouth, Yamanaka Yukimori perked up and continued.
“The Osaki family has been destroyed because of their own fault.
But the Mogami family and the Date family haven't learned their lesson yet. I want to give them some color and make the Ou family dare not underestimate the majesty of the saint.
I want to mobilize troops after spring plowing, take Shonai to the north, enter Aizu to the east, and take down two bridgeheads on the edge of Ou to scare the Ou samurai family. "
